Dynamics agrees to cause such Registration Statement, or another shelf registration statement that includes the Subscribed Shares issued upon cancellation and exchange of the Note, to remain effective, except for such times as Dynamics is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement, until the earliest of (i) the date on which the Investor ceases to hold any Subscribed Shares issued upon cancellation and exchange of the Note, or (ii) the first date on which the Investor can sell all of its Subscribed Shares issued upon cancellation and exchange of the Note (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without restriction, including, without limitation, any volume or manner of sale limitations and without the requirement for Dynamics to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c)(2) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable). The Investor agrees to disclose its beneficial ownership as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act to Dynamics upon request to assist it in making the determination described above. In no event shall the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the SEC; provided, that if the SEC requests that the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Investor will have an opportunity to withdraw its Subscribed Shares from the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents Dynamics from including any or all of the Subscribed Shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Subscribed Shares or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Subscribed Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Subscribed Shares as is permitted by the SEC. In such event, the number of Shares to be registered for each selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders, and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional Shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, Dynamics shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement to register such additional Shares and cause such amendment or Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable. Dynamics obligations to include the Subscribed Shares for resale in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Investor furnishing in writing to Dynamics such information regarding the Investor, the securities of Dynamics held by the Investor and the intended method of disposition of such Subscribed Shares as shall be reasonably requested by Dynamics to effect the registration of such Subscribed Shares, and the Investor shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Dynamics may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, provided that, the Investor shall not, in connection with the foregoing, be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Subscribed Shares. For purposes of clarification, any failure by Dynamics to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve Dynamics of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement set forth in this Section 7 of this Subscription Agreement. For as long as the Registration Statement shall remain effective pursuant to this Section 7(a) of this Subscription Agreement, Dynamics will use commercially reasonable efforts to (1) qualify the Subscribed Shares for listing on the Nasdaq, and (2) update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include the Subscribed Shares. For as long as the Investor holds the Subscribed Shares, Dynamics will use commercially reasonable efforts to (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 Dynamics remains subject to such requirements, and (C) provide all customary and reasonable cooperation necessary, in each case, to enable the Investor to resell the Subscribed Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 of the Securities Act (when Rule 144 of the Securities Act becomes available to the Investor), as applicable.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Dynamics may delay or postpone the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, and from time to time require the Investor not to sell under the Registration Statement or suspend the use or effectiveness of any such Registration Statement, if the board of directors of Dynamics determines in good faith that it would require Dynamics to make an Adverse Disclosure (each such circumstance, a Suspension Event); provided, that, (i) Dynamics shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of the Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for a period of more than 45 consecutive days or more than a total of 60 calendar days, in each case in any 360-day period, and (ii) Dynamics shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such Registration Statement available for the sale by the Investor of its Subscribed Shares as soon as practicable thereafter. For purpose of this Section 7(b), Adverse Disclosure means public disclosure of any material nonpublic information which, in the good faith reasonable determination of the board of directors of Dynamics, (i) would be required to be made in any Registration Statement filed with the SEC by Dynamics so that such Registration Statement, from and after its effective date, does not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) would not be required to be made at such time but for the filing, effectiveness or continued use of such Registration Statement; and (iii) Dynamics has a bona fide business purpose for not disclosing publicly and would reasonably be likely to be detrimental to Dynamics and its subsidiaries. If so directed by Dynamics, the Investor will deliver to Dynamics or, in the Investors sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares in the Investors possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent the Investor is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (A) in order to comply with applicable legal or regulatory requirements, or (B) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy, or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. Dynamics shall promptly notify the Investor in writing (a) with evidence of making of such suspension decision, and (b) the date on which such suspension will begin and date on which such suspension ends.
(c) In the case of the registration, qualification, exemption or compliance effected by Dynamics pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, Dynamics shall, upon reasonable request, inform Investor as to the status of such registration, qualification, exemption and compliance. At its expense Dynamics shall advise the Investor within two (2) Business Days: (i) when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective, (ii) 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 Dynamics of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Subscribed Shares 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 are not misleading 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. Upon receipt of any written notice from Dynamics (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding Dynamics) of the happening of any of the foregoing or of a Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or, if as a result of a Suspension Event, the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, the Investor agrees that (1) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Subscribed Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until the Investor receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which Dynamics agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective (unless otherwise notified by Dynamics that it may resume such offers and sales), and (2) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by Dynamics except (A) for disclosure to the Investors employees, agents and professional advisers who need to know such information and are obligated to keep it confidential, (B) for disclosures to the extent required in order to comply with reporting obligations to its limited partners who have agreed to keep such information confidential, and (C) as required by law or subpoena. Dynamics shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable. Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in clauses (i) through (iv) above, except for such times as Dynamics is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, Dynamics 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 Subscribed Shares 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(d) For purposes of this Section 7 of this Subscription Agreement, (i) Subscribed Shares shall mean, as of any date of determination, the Subscribed Shares acquired by the Investor upon cancellation and exchange of the Note and any other equity security issued or issuable with respect to such Subscribed Shares by way of stock split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event, and (ii) Investor shall include any affiliate of the undersigned Investor to which the rights under this Section 7 of this Subscription Agreement have been duly assigned.
(e) The Investor may request that Dynamics remove any restrictive legend from the book-entry position evidencing the Subscribed Shares. The Investors request may be delivered at such time as the Subscribed Shares (i) have been or are to be sold or transferred pursuant to an effective Registration Statement, or (ii) have been or are to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, such that the Subscribed Shares held by the Investor become freely tradable, upon compliance by the Investor with the requirements of this Section 7(e). Dynamics shall cause its transfer agent to remove any restrictive legends related to the book entry account holding such Subscribed Shares and make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry Subscribed Shares without restrictive legends within two (2) trading days of any such sale or disposition, provided that Dynamics and its transfer agent have timely received from the Investor customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to Dynamics and its transfer agent in connection therewith. Additionally, if restrictive legends are no longer required for the Subscribed Shares under the Securities Act, Investor may request that the restrictive legends be removed from the Subscribed Shares.
(f) Indemnification.
(i) Dynamics agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the Investor, its directors, and officers, employees and agents, and each person who controls the Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and each affiliate of the Investor (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim), as incurred, that arise out of, are based upon, or are caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus included in the Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, except insofar as and to the extent, but only to the extent, the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit regarding the Investor furnished in writing to Dynamics by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein.
(ii) The Investor agrees, severally and not jointly with any person that is a party to the Other Subscription Agreements, to indemnify and hold harmless Dynamics, its directors and officers, agents and employees, and each person who controls Dynamics (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees), that arise out of, are based upon, or are caused by any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or preliminary prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by the Investor expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of the Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Investor upon the sale of the Subscribed Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(iii) Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (A) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any persons right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and, (B) unless in such indemnified partys reasonable judgment and upon the advice of counsel that a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties exists with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to or elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of one counsel for each of the parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which case the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay for one additional counsel with respect to the other indemnified party to which such conflict exists. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.
(iv) The indemnification provided for under this Section 7(f) shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, employee, agent, affiliate or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Note purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and the issuance of the Subscribed Shares upon the cancellation and exchange thereof.
(v) If the indemnification provided under this Section 7(f) from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying partys and indemnified partys relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 7(f), any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 7(f)(v) from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the liability of the Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Investor upon the sale of the Subscribed Shares giving rise to such contribution obligation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event will any party be liable for consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages in connection with this Subscription Agreement.
8. No Short Sales. The Investor agrees that, from the date of this Subscription Agreement through the Closing Date, or until the earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with Section 10 of this Subscription Agreement, none of the Investor or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Investor pursuant to any understanding with the Investor will engage in any Short Sales (as defined below) with respect to securities of Dynamics. For the purposes hereof, 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), including through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers. This Section 8 shall not apply to any sale (including the valid exercise of any redemption right) of securities of Dynamics (i) held by the Investor, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Investor or any of its controlled affiliates prior to the execution of this Subscription Agreement, or (ii) purchased by the Investor, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Investor or any of its controlled affiliates in open market transactions after the execution of this Subscription Agreement. Further, for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 8 shall not apply to ordinary course, non-speculative hedging transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) nothing herein shall prohibit other entities under common management with the Investor that have no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of the Investors subscription for the Note pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (including the Investors affiliates) from entering into any Short Sales, and (b) if the Investor is a multi-managed investment vehicle, whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of the Investors assets, and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of the Investors assets, then, in each case, the agreement set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of the assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Note to be issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.
9. Most Favored Nation. Dynamics has entered into Other Subscription Agreements with Other Investors in respect of subscriptions for shares of its Class A Common Stock. Except (i) as set forth on Section 9 of Schedule B hereto, and (ii) in respect of any subscription agreement on terms consistent with the Other Subscription Agreements in force as of the date hereof (the form of which has been filed with the SEC as Exhibit 10.1 on Form 8-K by Dynamics on December 20 2021), if any Other Investor is afforded more favorable terms with respect to shares of Dynamics Class A Common Stock than the Investor is being afforded under the terms of this Subscription Agreement and the Note (including, without limitation, in respect of the Per Share Purchase Price), other than terms particular to the regulatory requirements of such Other Investor or its affiliates or related funds that are mutual funds, then the Company shall immediately inform the Investor of the more favorable terms and the Investor shall have the right to elect to receive such more favorable terms, in which case, if the Investor so elects, the parties hereto shall promptly amend this Subscription Agreement or the Note, as applicable, to reflect the more favorable terms. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights and obligations of any Investor or Other Investor shall be exclusive of any rights such Investor or Other Investor may have under any Non-Redemption Agreement.
10. 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) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) upon the Closing if the Note Closing has not occurred, or (d) the Termination Date (as defined in the Transaction Agreement as of the date hereof) if the Closing has not occurred by the Termination Date (provided that the right to terminate this Subscription Agreement pursuant to this clause (d) shall not be available to the Investor if the Investors breach of any of its covenants or obligations under this Subscription Agreement, or if an affiliate of the Investor is one of the Other Investors under an Other Subscription Agreement, such Other Investors breach of any of its covenants or obligations under the Other Subscription Agreement, either individually or in the aggregate, shall have proximately caused the failure of the Closing or the Transaction to occur on or before the Termination Date (the termination events described in the immediately preceding clauses (a) through (d) being, collectively, the Termination Events); provided, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful and material 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 any such willful and material breach. The Company shall notify the Investor of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement. Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event, this Subscription Agreement shall be void and of no further effect. For the avoidance of doubt, upon termination of this Subscription Agreement following the Note Closing, the terms, provisions and obligations of and under the Note shall, to the extent applicable, continue in full force and effect and shall survive termination of this Subscription Agreement.
11. Trust Account Waiver. The Investor hereby acknowledges that Dynamics has established a trust account (the Trust Account) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the IPO) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of Dynamics public stockholders and certain other parties (including the underwriters of the IPO). For and in consideration of Dynamics entering into this Subscription Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Investor, for and on behalf of itself and its affiliates and other related entities, hereby agrees that it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any assets held in the Trust Account, and shall not make or bring any action, suit, claim or other proceeding against the Trust Account that arises as a result of, in connection with or relates in any way to this Subscription Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Subscribed Shares, and regardless of whether such action, suit, claim or other proceeding arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such actions, suits, claims or other proceedings are collectively referred to hereafter as the Released Claims). The Investor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any Released Claims that it may have against the Trust Account now or in the future and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement or any other matter related to the transactions set forth herein; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 11 of this Subscription Agreement shall (x) be deemed to limit any of the Investors right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of Investors record or beneficial ownership of securities of Dynamics acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, (y) serve to limit or prohibit the Investors right to pursue a claim against Dynamics for legal relief against assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief, or (z) serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Investor may have in the future against Dynamics assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account.
12. Dynamics Representations and Warranties. Dynamics represents and warrants to the Investor, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date (unless any representation or warranty is expressed to be given as at another date or dates, in which case, Dynamics makes that representation and gives that warranty as of that date or those dates), that
(a) as of the Closing Date, the Subscribed Shares will be duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to the Investor against full payment therefor in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement and the Note, the Subscribed Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens or other encumbrances (other than those arising under applicable securities laws) and will not have been issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive or similar rights created under Dynamics certificate of incorporation or bylaws (each as amended to the Closing Date), under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or by any contract to which Dynamics is a party or by which it is bound.
(b) As of their respective dates, and except as set forth in Section 12(b) of Schedule B to this Subscription Agreement, all reports required to be filed by Dynamics with the SEC (the SEC Reports) complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except, in each case, as set forth in any subsequent SEC Report filed or furnished with the SEC on or prior to the date hereof. Except as set forth in Section 12(b) of Schedule B to this Subscription Agreement, the financial statements of Dynamics included in the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing and fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of Dynamics as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, year-end audit adjustments, and such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be disclosed therein or in the notes thereto, and except that the unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP); except, in each case, as set forth in any subsequent SEC Report filed or furnished with the SEC on or prior to the date hereof. A copy of each SEC Report is available to the Investor via the SECs EDGAR system. Dynamics has timely filed each report, statement, schedule, prospectus, and registration statement that it was required to file with the SEC since its initial registration of the Shares with the SEC. There are no outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters received by Dynamics from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the SEC with respect to any of the SEC Reports.
(c) Except for such matters that have not and would not reasonably be expected to conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of Dynamics or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which Dynamics or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Dynamics or any of its subsidiaries is bound, or to which any of the property or assets of Dynamics is subject, that would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of Dynamics and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or materially and adversely affect (A) the ability of Dynamics to consummate the Transaction, (B) the validity of the Subscribed Shares, or (C) the legal authority of Dynamics to comply in all material respects with the terms of this Subscription Agreement (each, a Dynamics Material Adverse Effect), there is no (i) action, suit, claim, arbitration or other proceeding, in each case by or before any governmental authority or arbitrator, pending or, to the knowledge of Dynamics, threatened against Dynamics, or (ii) judgment, decree, injunction, ruling or order of any governmental entity or arbitrator outstanding against Dynamics.
(d) As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of Dynamics consists of (i) 100,000,000 Shares, (ii) 10,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock par value $0.0001 per share (Class B Shares), and (iii) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock par value $0.0001 per share (Preferred Shares). As of the date hereof, (A) 23,715,500 Shares are issued and outstanding, (B) 5,750,000 Class B Shares are issued and outstanding, and (C) no Preferred Shares are issued and outstanding.

There are no securities or instruments issued by or to which Dynamics is a party containing anti-dilution or similar provisions that will be triggered by the issuance of (i) the Subscribed Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and the Note, or (ii) the Shares to be issued pursuant to any Other Subscription Agreement. Dynamics has no subsidiaries, other than Merger Sub, and does not own, directly or indirectly, interests or investments (whether equity or debt) in any person, whether incorporated or unincorporated. There are no shareholder agreements, voting trusts or other agreements or understandings to which Dynamics is a party or by which it is bound relating to the voting of any securities of Dynamics, other than (1) as set forth in the SEC Reports and the Dynamics S-4, and (2) as contemplated by the Transaction Agreement.
(e) The issued and outstanding Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on Nasdaq under the symbol DYNS (it being understood that the trading symbol will be changed in connection with the Transaction). There is no suit, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of Dynamics, threatened against Dynamics by Nasdaq or the SEC, respectively, to prohibit or terminate the listing of the Shares on Nasdaq or to deregister the Shares under the Exchange Act. Dynamics has taken no action that is designed to terminate the registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act.
(f) Dynamics is in compliance with all applicable laws, except where such noncompliance would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Dynamics Material Adverse Effect. Dynamics has not received any written communication from a governmental authority that alleges that Dynamics is not in compliance with or is in default or violation of any applicable law, except where such non-compliance, default or violation would not reasonably be expected to have a Dynamics Material Adverse Effect.
(g) The Shares are eligible for clearing through The Depository Trust Company (the DTC), through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian (DWAC) system, and Dynamics is eligible and participating in the Direct Registration System (DRS) of DTC with respect to the Shares.

The Shares are not, and have not been at any time, subject to any DTC chill, freeze or similar restriction with respect to any DTC services, including the clearing of Shares through DTC.
(h) The Other Subscription Agreements that were executed on or before the date hereof are on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Form Subscription Agreement.
13. Miscellaneous.
(a) Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Investor hereunder (other than the Subscribed Shares acquired pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and the Note, if any) may be transferred or assigned, other than an assignment to an affiliate of the Investor or any fund or account managed by the same investment manager as the Investor or an affiliate thereof.
(b) The Company and Dynamics may request from the Investor such additional information as the Company or Dynamics may deem necessary to register the resale of the Subscribed Shares and evaluate the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Subscribed Shares, and the Investor shall promptly provide such information as may reasonably be requested; provided, that the Company and Dynamics each agrees to keep any such information provided by the Investor confidential, except (i) as required by the federal securities laws, rules or regulations, and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by other laws, rules or regulations, at the request of the staff of the SEC or another regulatory agency or under the regulations of Nasdaq. The Investor acknowledges that the Company or Dynamics, as applicable, may file a copy of this Subscription Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to a current or periodic report or a registration statement of the Company or Dynamics, as applicable.
(c) The Investor acknowledges that the Company, Dynamics and others will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement.
(d) The Company, Dynamics and the Investor are each entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and each is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby; provided, however, that the foregoing clause of this Section 13(d) of this Subscription Agreement shall not give the Company any rights other than those expressly set forth herein.

No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or remedy, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

Upon the issuance of the Disclosure Document, to the actual knowledge of Dynamics, the Investor shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information received from Dynamics or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents, and the Investor shall no longer be subject to any confidentiality or similar obligations under any current agreement, whether written or oral, with Dynamics or any of its affiliates, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

16. Several Obligations. As applicable, for ease of administration, this single Subscription Agreement may be executed so as to enable the Investor identified on the signature page to enter into a Subscription Agreement, severally, but not jointly. The parties agree that (i) the Subscription Agreement shall be treated as if it were a separate agreement with respect to the Investor listed on the signature page and the Other Investors, as if each of the Investors had executed a separate Subscription Agreement naming only itself as subscriber, and (ii) the Investor listed on the signature page shall not have any liability under the Subscription Agreement for the obligations of any Other Investor so listed. In addition, the obligations of the Investor(s) under this Subscription Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other Investor or any other investor under the Other Subscription Agreements, and the Investor shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Investor under this Subscription Agreement or any Other Investor or other investor under the Other Subscription Agreements. Nothing contained herein or in any Other Subscription Agreement, and no action taken by the Investor or any Other Investor or other investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investor and any Other Investors or other investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investor and any Other Investors or other investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements. The Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including the rights arising out of this Subscription Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
17. Amendments. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor the Note may be amended, modified or waived except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that if the Note remains outstanding following a Termination Event, the written consent of Dynamics will not be necessary thereafter for any amendment, modification or waiver of the Note.
18. Information. The Investor will promptly provide any information reasonably requested by Dynamics for any regulatory application or filing made or approval sought in connection with the Transaction (including filings with the SEC).
19. Expenses. Each party shall pay all of its own expenses in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and in the Note.

SCHEDULE B
Section 9
The Company may enter into manufacturing and development joint ventures or collaborations with potential third parties, and may offer the opportunity to invest in the PIPE Financing on the same terms and conditions as other Investors to such potential third parties.
Section 12(b)
With respect to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021 (the 3Q Form 10-Q), which was filed on November 10, 2021, following the filing thereof, Dynamics learned from its auditors and advisors that, based on discussions between the SEC and other special purpose acquisition companies and their auditors, certain revisions to the classification of redeemable Class A shares from permanent equity to temporary equity reflected in the 3Q Form 10-Q constitute, in the SEC staffs opinion, a material weakness in Dynamics internal control over financial reporting relating to accounting for complex financial instruments. In light of this material weakness, Dynamics performed additional analysis and determined that the (i) audited balance sheet as of May 28, 2021 filed as Exhibit 99.1 to Dynamics Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 4, 2021 (the Form 8-K), (ii) unaudited interim financial statements included in Dynamics Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on August 6, 2021 (the Q2 Form 10-Q), and (iii) unaudited interim financial statements included in the 3Q Form 10-Q (collectively, the Affected Periods) should no longer be relied upon due to changes required to the classification of temporary equity and permanent equity described in the 3Q Form 10-Q. On December 10, 2021, Dynamics filed amendments to its 3Q Form 10-Q, 2Q Form 10-Q, and Form 8-K for the Affected Periods, reflecting the restatement of the Class A common stock subject to redemption and change to its presentation of earnings per share for the Affected Periods.
