This Warrant Assumption Agreement (this Warrant Assumption Agreement) is entered into as of March 30, 2021, by and among Foley Trasimene Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (FTAC), Paysafe Limited, an exempted limited company incorporated under the laws of Bermuda (the Company), and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation (the Warrant Agent).
WHEREAS, FTAC and the Warrant Agent are parties to that certain Warrant Agreement dated as of August 21, 2020 (the Warrant Agreement; capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Merger Agreement (as defined below));
WHEREAS, FTAC, the Company, Paysafe Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (Merger Sub), Paysafe Bermuda Holding LLC, a Bermuda exempted limited liability company and subsidiary of the Company (the LLC) and certain other parties named therein are parties to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of December 7, 2020 (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the Merger Agreement), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into FTAC, with FTAC being the surviving corporation in the merger and an indirect subsidiary of the Company (the Merger);
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms and conditions of each of the Warrant Agreement and the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of Non-Founder FTAC Warrants, each Non-Founder FTAC Warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assumed by the Company and will automatically and irrevocably be modified to provide that such Non-Founder FTAC Warrant shall no longer entitle the holder thereof to purchase the amount of share(s) of FTAC Common Stock set forth therein and in substitution thereof such Non-Founder FTAC Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire such number of Company Common Shares per Non-Founder FTAC Warrant, subject to adjustments as provided in the Warrant Agreement, that such holder would have received pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement if such holder had exercised his, her or its Non-Founder FTAC Warrants immediately prior to the Transactions; and
WHEREAS, as a result of this Warrant Assumption Agreement, each Non-Founder FTAC Warrant will be exchanged for a warrant to purchase Company Common Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, FTAC, the Company and the Warrant Agent hereby agree as follows:
1. Assignment and Assumption.
(a) Upon and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Time, FTAC hereby assigns, and the Company hereby assumes, the rights and obligations of FTAC under the Warrant Agreement and the Non-Founder FTAC Warrants, including the obligation to issue Company Common Shares upon the exercise of the Non-Founder FTAC Warrants, and the Company hereby agrees to faithfully perform, satisfy and discharge when due, the liabilities and obligations of FTAC under the Warrant Agreement and the Non-Founder FTAC Warrants. As a result of the preceding sentence, upon and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Time, each Non-Founder FTAC Warrant will be exchanged for a warrant to purchase Company Common Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement.
(b) The Company acknowledges and agrees that, subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the Non-Founder FTAC Warrants and this Warrant Assumption Agreement, the Warrant Agreement and the Non-Founder FTAC Warrants shall continue in full force and effect and that all of FTACs obligations thereunder shall be valid and enforceable as against the Company upon consummation of the Merger and shall not be impaired or limited by the execution or effectiveness of this Warrant Assumption Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Warrant Agreement, if any Warrant shall remain unexercised immediately before the conclusion of the Exercise Period specified in the Warrant Agreement (including any extension of such Exercise Period), such Warrant shall, automatically and without the necessity of any action on the part of any person, be transferred to the LLC and thereupon exercised by the LLC on a cashless basis by exchanging such Warrant for common shares of the Company in accordance with Sections 7.4 and 3.1 of the Warrant Agreement.
(d) This Warrant Assumption Agreement is being executed and delivered pursuant and subject to the Warrant Agreement. Nothing in this Warrant Assumption Agreement shall, or shall be deemed to, defeat, limit, alter, impair, enhance or enlarge any right, obligation, claim or remedy created by the Warrant Agreement or any other document or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with it.
(e) The choice of law and jurisdiction provisions set forth in the Warrant Agreement and this Warrant Assumption Agreement shall continue to govern the rights and obligations of the Parties to the Warrant Agreement and this Warrant Assumption Agreement in all respects. The Company hereby waives any objection to the jurisdiction provision governing the terms of the Warrant Agreement and this Warrant Assumption Agreement.
