(g) Transfer or Resale. Subscriber understands that: (i) the Subscribed Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered, or (B) Subscriber provides the Company with reasonable assurance that such Subscribed Shares can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the 1933 Act (or a successor rule thereto) (collectively, Rule 144); and (ii) any sale of the Subscribed Shares made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144, and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Subscribed Shares under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange Securities to be received by Subscriber upon consummation of the Transactions in exchange for the Subscribed Shares shall be registered under the 1933 Act and freely tradeable immediately following consummation of the Transactions, and the Subscribed Shares may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by the
5
Subscribed Shares and such pledge of Subscribed Shares shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Subscribed Shares hereunder, and no Subscriber effecting a pledge of Subscribed Shares shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, including, without limitation, this Section 5(g).
(h) Validity; Enforcement.

(i) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by Subscriber of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation by Subscriber of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of Subscriber, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which Subscriber is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to Subscriber, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of Subscriber to perform its obligations hereunder.
Section 6. Register; Transfer Agent Instructions; Legend.
(a) Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to each holder of Subscribed Shares), a stock ledger for the Subscribed Shares in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the Subscribed Shares have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee) and the number of Subscribed Shares held by such Person. The Company shall keep the stock ledger open and available at all times during business hours for inspection of Subscriber or its legal representatives. If Subscriber effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Subscribed Shares in accordance with Section 5(g), the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly record in its stock ledger for the Subscribed Shares, such name and such denominations as specified by Subscriber to effect such sale, transfer or assignment.
(b) Transfer Agent Instructions. Upon the consummation of the Transactions, the SPAC shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent and any subsequent transfer agent (as applicable, the Transfer Agent) in a form acceptable to Subscriber (the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions) to issue certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at The Depository Trust Company (DTC), registered in the name of Subscriber or its respective nominee(s), for the Exchange Securities in such amounts as in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. The SPAC represents and warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 6(b) will be given by the SPAC to the Transfer Agent with respect to the Exchange Securities, and that the Exchange Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the SPAC to the extent provided in this Subscription Agreement and the Business Combination Agreement. In the event that a sale, assignment or transfer involves Exchange Securities sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144, and the Transfer Agent has not already issued the Exchange Securities as credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC, the Transfer Agent shall issue such shares to such Subscriber, assignee or transferee (as the case may be) without any restrictive legend in accordance with Section 6(d) below. Each of the Company and SPAC acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to Subscriber.
6
Accordingly, each of the Company and SPAC acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 6(b) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 6(b), that Subscriber shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The SPAC shall cause its counsel to issue the legal opinion referred to in the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions to the Transfer Agent following the consummation of the Transactions. Any fees (with respect to the Transfer Agent, counsel to the Company or SPAC or otherwise) associated with the issuance of such opinion or the removal of any legends on any of the Subscribed Shares or the Exchange Securities shall be borne by the Company and SPAC, jointly.
(c) Legends. Subscriber understands that the Subscribed Shares have been issued pursuant to an exemption from registration or qualification under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, and except as set forth below, the Subscribed Shares shall bear any legend as required by the blue sky laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):
THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.
(d) Removal of Legends. Upon the closing of the Transactions, in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the Exchange Securities shall be issued without any legends.
Section 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 earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Business Combination Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms and (b) the mutual written agreement of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement; provided, that if any of the conditions to the obligations of Subscriber and the Company to consummate, or cause to be consummated, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement (including the Closing) set forth in Sections 3(d), (e) or (f) are not satisfied on the Closing Date, this Subscription Agreement shall be terminable by any of the Company or Subscriber upon written notice of termination delivered in accordance with Section 9(a); provided further, that 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 Subscriber of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement promptly after the termination thereof. Upon the termination hereof in accordance with this Section 7, any monies paid by Subscriber to the Company in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) be returned in full to Subscriber by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by Subscriber, without any deduction for or on account of any tax withholding, charges or set-off, whether or not the Transactions shall have been consummated.

Section 8. Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber hereby acknowledges that, as described in SPACs prospectus relating to its initial public offering (the IPO) dated September 23, 2021 available at www.sec.gov, SPAC has established a trust account (the Trust Account) containing the proceeds of the IPO and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of SPAC, its public shareholders and certain other parties (including the underwriters of the IPO), and that, except as otherwise described in such prospectus, SPAC may disburse monies from the Trust Account only to (x) its public shareholders in the event they elect to have their shares of SPAC Common Stock redeemed for cash in connection with the consummation of SPACs initial business combination, an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, as amended and rested and as in effect on the date hereof (the SPAC Charter) to extend the deadline by which SPAC must consummate its initial business combination, or SPACs failure to consummate an initial business combination by such deadline, (y) pay certain taxes from time to time, or (z) SPAC after or concurrently with the consummation of its initial business combination. For and in consideration of SPAC entering into this Subscription Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber, on behalf of itself and its affiliates, hereby (a) 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 any claim against the Trust Account, arising out or as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to this Subscription Agreement, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the Released Claims), (b) irrevocably waives any Released Claims that it may have against the Trust Account now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, and (c) will not seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to this Subscription Agreement. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that such irrevocable waiver is a material inducement to SPAC to enter into this Subscription Agreement, and further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding, and enforceable against Subscriber in accordance with applicable law. To the extent Subscriber commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to SPAC or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against SPAC or its Representatives, Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that its sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit Subscriber (or any person claiming on Subscribers behalf or in lieu of Subscriber) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. Nothing in this Section 8 shall be deemed to limit Subscribers right to distributions from the Trust Account in accordance with the SPAC Charter, in respect of any redemptions by Subscriber in respect of shares of SPAC Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 8 shall survive termination of this Subscription Agreement.
Section 9. Miscellaneous.

(l) 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.
(m) No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Subscription Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without such notice or demand.

(n) This Subscription Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts (including by electronic mail, in .pdf or other electronic submission) 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.
(o) This Subscription Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws that would otherwise require the application of the law of any other state.
(p) EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OR RELATED TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY OTHER SUCH PARTY, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT.
(q) The parties agree that all disputes, legal actions, suits and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement must be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware or, in the event each federal court within the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state court within the State of Delaware) (collectively the Designated Courts). Each party hereby consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Designated Courts. No legal action, suit or proceeding with respect to this Subscription Agreement may be brought in any other forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a final judgement in any such action may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each party hereby irrevocably waives all claims of immunity from jurisdiction, and any objection which such party may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding in any Designated Court, including any right to object on the basis that any dispute, action, suit or proceeding brought in the Designated Courts has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum or venue. Each of the parties also agrees that delivery of any process, summons, notice or document to a party hereof in compliance with Section 9(a) of this Subscription Agreement shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in a Designated Court with respect to any matters to which the parties have submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above.
(r) This Subscription Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Subscription Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Subscription Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns.
(s) If any change in the Common Stock shall occur between the date of this Subscription Agreement and the Closing by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, combination, exchange, or readjustment of shares, or any share dividend, the number of Subscribed Shares issued to Subscriber hereunder shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change, and SPAC shall provide written notice of the same to Subscriber within two (2) Business Days.
