2.3.3 The execution, delivery, and performance of this Subscription Agreement (including compliance by GOGN with all of the provisions hereof), issuance and sale of the Shares, and the consummation of the certain other transactions contemplated herein will not (i) 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 GOGN pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license, or other agreement or instrument to which GOGN is a party or by which GOGN is bound or to which any of the property or assets of GOGN is subject, which would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the assets, business, results of operation or financial operations of GOGN, or prevents, impairs, delays or impedes the legal authority of GOGN to enter into and timely perform in any material respect its obligations under this Subscription Agreement (collectively, a “GOGN Material Adverse Effect”), (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of GOGN, or (iii) result in any violation of any law, statute or any judgment, order, rule, regulation or other legally enforceable requirement of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over GOGN or any of its properties that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a GOGN Material Adverse Effect.

There are no securities or instruments issued by or to which GOGN is party containing anti-dilution or similar provisions that will be triggered by the issuance of the Shares or the issuance of the Issuer Shares under any Other Subscription Agreement, in each case, that have not been or will not be validly waived on or prior to the Closing Date.

 

 

2.3.5 GOGN has made available to Subscriber (including via the Commission’s EDGAR system) a true, correct, and complete copy of each form, report, statement, schedule, prospectus, proxy, registration statement, and other documents filed by GOGN with the Commission on or prior to the date of this Subscription Agreement (the “GOGN SEC Documents”). GOGN has timely filed each GOGN SEC Document that GOGN was required to file with the Commission since its inception and through the date hereof. None of the GOGN SEC Documents contained, when filed or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment with respect to those disclosures that are amended, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of GOGN included in the GOGN SEC Documents comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing and fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of GOGN 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. There are no outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters from the Commission staff with respect to any of the GOGN SEC Documents.

 

2.3.6 GOGN is not in default or violation (and no event has occurred which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or violation) of any term, condition or provision of (i) the organizational documents of GOGN, (ii) any loan or credit agreement, guarantee, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, permit, franchise or license to which, as of the date of this Subscription Agreement, GOGN is a party or by which GOGN’s properties or assets are bound or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency, taxing authority or regulatory body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over GOGN or any of its properties, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), for defaults or violations that have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a GOGN Material Adverse Effect.

 

2.3.7 Assuming the accuracy of Subscriber’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1 of this Subscription Agreement, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Shares by the Issuer to Subscriber. Neither GOGN nor any person acting on its behalf has engaged or will engage in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D of the Securities Act) in connection with any offer or sale of the Shares (or any portion thereof).

 

2.3.8 Except for such matters that have not had or would not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a GOGN Material Adverse Effect, there is no (i) action, suit, claim or other proceeding, in each case by or before any governmental authority pending against GOGN or the Company, or, to the knowledge of GOGN, threatened against GOGN or the Company, or (ii) judgment, decree, injunction, ruling or order of any governmental entity or arbitrator outstanding against GOGN or, to the knowledge of GOGN, the Company.

 

 

2.3.9 GOGN is in compliance with all applicable laws, except where such non-compliance would not have a GOGN Material Adverse Effect. Neither GOGN, nor to its knowledge, the Company, has received any written communication from a governmental authority that alleges that GOGN or the Company 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 be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a GOGN Material Adverse Effect.

 

2.3.10 GOGN is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or self-regulatory organization in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares), other than (i) filings with the Commission, (ii) filings required by applicable securities laws, (iii) any filings required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 or similar antitrust laws, (iv) filings required by the NYSE, and (v) those required to consummate the Transactions as provided under the Business Combination Agreement.

 

2.3.11 GOGN has not sought protection pursuant to any law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, liquidation, administration or winding up or failed to pay its debts when due, nor does GOGN have any knowledge or reason to believe that any of its respective creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or seek to commence an administration.

 

2.3.12 No broker, finder, or other financial consultant has acted on behalf of or at the direction of GOGN in connection with this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in such a way as to create any liability on Subscriber.

 

2.3.13 The Class A Shares and Warrants are listed for trading on NYSE. There is no suit, action, proceeding, or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of GOGN, threatened against GOGN by the NYSE or the Commission to prohibit or terminate the listing of the Class A Shares or Warrants on NYSE or to deregister the Class A Shares or Warrants under the Exchange Act, other than as contemplated by the Transactions.

4. Registration Statement.

 

4.1 The Issuer agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission (at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the Shares within thirty (30) calendar days after the consummation of the Transactions (the “Filing Date”), and the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof but no later than the earlier of (i) the sixtieth (60^th) calendar day following the Closing (or ninetieth (90^th) day if the Commission notifies the Issuer that it will review the Registration Statement) and (ii) the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date the Issuer is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such date, the “Effectiveness Date”); provided, however, that the Issuer’s obligations to include the Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing a completed and executed selling shareholders questionnaire in customary form to the Issuer that contains the information required by Commission rules for a Registration Statement regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Issuer held by Subscriber, and the intended method of disposition of the Shares to effect the registration of the Shares, and Subscriber shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling shareholder in similar situations, including providing that the Issuer shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder; provided further, that in connection with the foregoing, Subscriber shall not be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Shares. The Issuer will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to Subscriber for review at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the filing of the Registration Statement, provided that in no event shall the Issuer be required to delay or postpone the filing of such Registration Statement as a result of or in connection with Subscriber’s review. In the case of the registration effected by the Issuer pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, in no event shall Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the Commission; provided that if the Commission requests that Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, Subscriber will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement. Any failure by the Issuer to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Date or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Issuer of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above. For purposes of this Section 4, “Shares” includes any Issuer Shares or other equity securities of the Issuer issued or issuable with respect to the Shares by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event.

 

4.2 At its expense, the Issuer shall:

 

4.2.1 except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption, or compliance under applicable securities laws which the Issuer determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to Subscriber, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (i) Subscriber ceases to hold any Shares; (ii) the date all Shares held by Subscriber may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions that may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) and (iii) two (2) years from the Effectiveness Date;

 

 

4.2.2 advise Subscriber within five (5) Business Days (or such earlier date as specified):

 

(a) within two (2) Business Days of when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

 

(b) within two (2) Business Days after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

 

(c) of the receipt by the Issuer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

 

(d) 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Issuer shall not, when so advising Subscriber of such events, provide Subscriber with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries other than to the extent that providing notice to Subscriber of the occurrence of the events listed in (a) through (d) above may constitute material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Issuer or any subsidiaries, the Issuer shall simultaneously furnish such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 6-K.

 

4.2.3 use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

 

4.2.4 upon the occurrence of any event contemplated above, except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Issuer 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 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

 

4.2.5 use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Issuer Shares are then listed; and

 

4.2.6 use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps reasonably necessary to effect the registration of the Shares contemplated herein.

 

 

4.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Issuer from including any or all of the 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 Shares by the applicable shareholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Issuer Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Issuer Shares as is permitted by the Commission. In such event, the number of Issuer Shares to be registered for each selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders, and the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as practicable and as allowed by the Commission, one or more registration statements to register the resale of those Shares that were not registered on the initial Registration Statement, as so amended. Upon notification by the Commission that the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission, within two (2) Business Days thereafter, the Issuer shall file the final prospectus under Rule 424 of the Securities Act.

 

4.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitled to delay or postpone the filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Issuer or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event that the Issuer’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon advice of reputable external counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Issuer in the Registration Statement of material information that (x) the Issuer has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential or (y) cannot be immediately provided, and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of Issuer’s board of directors, upon advice of reputable external counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Issuer may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than three (3) occasions or for more than ninety (90) consecutive calendar days, or more than one-hundred-twenty (120) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve (12)-month period. Upon receipt by Subscriber of any written notice from the Issuer of the happening of any 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, Subscriber agrees that (a) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Shares under the Registration Statement until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Issuer 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 or unless otherwise notified by the Issuer that it may resume such offers and sales, and (b) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Issuer. If so directed by the Issuer, Subscriber will deliver to the Issuer or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares in Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares shall not apply (1) to the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (A) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory, or professional requirements, or (B) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy, or (2) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

 

 

4.5 The Issuer shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Subscription Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless Subscriber (to the extent a seller under, or named as a selling shareholder in, the Registration Statement), its officers, directors, partners, members, managers, employees, advisers and agents, and each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including reasonable and documented external attorneys’ fees in connection with defending any of the foregoing) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Issuer by Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 4.5 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Issuer, nor shall the Issuer be liable for any Losses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon a violation which occurs (A) in connection with any failure of such person to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made available by the Issuer in a timely manner or (B) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of Subscriber in violation of this Subscription Agreement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Shares by Subscriber.

 

4.6 Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly with any Other Subscriber, indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, its directors, officers, agents and employees, and each person who controls the Issuer (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or are caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, in each case, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Issuer by Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 4.6 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of Subscriber, nor shall the Issuer be liable for any Losses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon a violation which occurs (A) in connection with any failure of such person to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made available by the Issuer in a timely manner or (B) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of Subscriber in violation of this Subscription Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the liability of Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Shares by Subscriber.

 

 

4.7 For the purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Indemnifying Party” shall mean the party with an obligation to indemnify another party pursuant to Section 4.5 or Section 4.6 (as applicable) and “Indemnified Party” shall mean the party seeking indemnification pursuant to Section 4.5 or Section 4.6 (as applicable). The Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding against the Indemnified Party that the Indemnified Party believes relates to Losses the subject of indemnification pursuant to Section 4.5 or Section 4.6 (as applicable) and of which such Indemnified Party is aware (a “Third Party Proceeding”). In the case of any delay or failure by an Indemnified Party to provide the notice required by the preceding sentence, the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify the Indemnified Party shall be reduced to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay or failure. The Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in any Third Party Proceeding and to assume the defense thereof with counsel it elects, in its sole discretion, and in the event the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that is not both fully resolved or settled (i) in all respects by the payment of money damages alone and no other form of relief (and such money damages are so paid in full by the Indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such order or settlement) and (ii) with an unconditional release by the claimant or plaintiff of the Indemnified party and its affiliates from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

4.8 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.5 or Section 4.6 from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses, 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 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 Party’s and Indemnified Party’s 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 referred to above shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.5 or Section 4.6 and deemed to include any external 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 4.8 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Subscriber’s obligation to make a contribution pursuant to this Section 4.8 shall be individual, not joint and several, and in no event shall the liability of Subscriber hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Shares giving rise to such obligation.

 

4.9 Subject to receipt from Subscriber by the Issuer and Transfer Agent (as defined below) of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and the Transfer Agent (which shall not include a legal opinion) in connection therewith, and, if required by the Transfer Agent, an opinion of Issuer’s counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Transfer Agent, Subscriber may request that the Issuer remove any legend from the certificates or book entry position evidencing the Shares within five (5) Business Days of such request and receipt of such representations and other documentation, following the earliest of such time as such Shares are subject to an effective registration statement or have been or are about to be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement. If restrictive legends are no longer required for the Shares pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuer shall, in accordance with the provisions of this section and reasonably promptly following any request therefor from Subscriber accompanied by such customary and reasonably acceptable representations and other documentation referred to above establishing that restrictive legends are no longer required, deliver to the Transfer Agent irrevocable instructions that the Transfer Agent shall make a new, unlegended entry for such Shares. The Issuer shall be responsible for the fees of the Transfer Agent and counsel to the Issuer associated with such request.

 

 

5. Termination. Except for the provisions of this Section 5 and Section 6, which shall survive any termination hereunder, 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 (i) such date and time as the Business Combination Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (ii) upon the mutual written agreement of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement and (iii) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 3 are not satisfied or waived as of the Share Acquisition Closing Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement will not be and are not consummated as of the Share Acquisition Closing Date, and (iv) at the election in writing of Subscriber, on or after the date nine (9) months from the date hereof, if the Closing shall not have occurred by such date; provided, 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 out-of-pocket losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach. For purposes hereof, “Willful Breach” means a breach that is a consequence of an act undertaken or a failure to act by the breaching party hereto with the knowledge that the taking of such act or such failure to act would, or would reasonably be expected to, constitute or result in a breach of this Subscription Agreement. The Issuer shall notify Subscriber of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement and, upon the termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with this Section 5, any monies paid by Subscriber to Issuer in connection herewith shall be promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days after such termination) returned to Subscriber by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by Subscriber, without any interest or deduction for or on account of any tax withholding, charges or set-off, whether or not the Transactions shall have been consummated.

 

6. Miscellaneous.

 

6.1.1 Subscriber acknowledges that the Issuer and GOGN will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties made by Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, Subscriber agrees to promptly notify the Issuer and GOGN if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties set forth herein are no longer accurate (subject to any qualification as to materiality or similar qualification applicable thereto). The Issuer acknowledges that Subscriber and GOGN will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Issuer contained in this Subscription Agreement.

GOGN acknowledges that Subscriber and the Issuer will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties made by GOGN contained in this Subscription Agreement.

6.1.3 The Issuer and GOGN may request from Subscriber such additional information as the Issuer and GOGN may deem reasonably necessary to evaluate the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the Shares, and Subscriber shall promptly provide such information as may be reasonably requested, including the legal name of the person in whose name the Shares are to be issued and a duly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or an appropriate duly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8; provided, that (subject to Section 7.2 below) the Issuer and GOGN agree to keep confidential any such information provided by Subscriber, except as required by the applicable securities laws or pursuant to proceedings of regulatory authorities, and that Subscriber shall not be obliged to provide any information on its financial situation or its investments.

6.1.5 The Issuer and GOGN acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Shares may be pledged by the Subscriber in connection with a bona fide margin agreement; provided, however, that any transfer of Shares in connection with an exercise on such pledge shall be deemed a transfer, sale or assignment, as the case may be, of the Shares hereunder.

 

6.1.6 Each of the Issuer and Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that (a) this Subscription Agreement is being entered into in order to induce the Company to execute and deliver the Business Combination Agreement and without the ability to rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Issuer and Subscriber hereunder after Closing, the Company would not enter into the Business Combination Agreement and (b) each representation, warranty, covenant and agreement of the Issuer and Subscriber hereunder is being made also for the benefit of the Company after Closing.

6.3 Entire Agreement. This Subscription Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof, including any commitment letter entered into relating to the subject matter hereof.

 

6.4 Modifications; Amendments; Waivers. This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified, supplemented, or waived (i) except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such amendment, modification, supplement, or waiver is sought and (ii) without the prior written consent of the Issuer and the Company. No failure or delay of either 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 power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereto or the exercise of any other right or power.

 

6.5 Assignment. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights, interests, or obligations that may accrue to Subscriber hereunder (including Subscriber’s rights to purchase the Shares) may be transferred or assigned without the prior written consent of each of the Company and the other parties hereto (other than the Shares acquired hereunder and then only in accordance with this Subscription Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Subscription Agreement and any of Subscriber’s rights and obligations hereunder may be assigned to one or more controlled affiliates of Subscriber or to any fund or account managed by the same investment manager as Subscriber, without the prior consent of the Issuer, the Company or GOGN; provided that such assignee(s) agrees in writing pursuant to an agreement reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Subscription Agreement, makes the representations and warranties in Section 2.1 and completes Schedule I hereto. Upon such assignment by Subscriber, the assignee(s) shall become Subscriber hereunder and have the rights and obligations provided for herein to the extent of such assignment. In the event of such a transfer or assignment, Subscriber shall promptly update and deliver to the Issuer Schedule II to provide the information required therein.

 

6.6 Benefit.

 

6.6.1 Except as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants, and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns.

 

 

6.7 Governing Law. This Subscription Agreement, and any claim or cause of action hereunder based upon, arising out of or related to this Subscription Agreement (whether based on law, in equity, in contract, in tort, or any other theory) or the negotiation, execution, performance, or enforcement of this Subscription Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, including its statute of limitations, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflicts of law thereof to the extent they would require or permit the application of laws or statute of limitations of another jurisdiction.

 

6.8 Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; provided, that if subject matter jurisdiction over the matter that is the subject of the legal proceeding is vested exclusively in the U.S. federal courts, such legal proceeding shall be heard in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (together with the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, the “Chosen Courts”), in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Subscription Agreement. Each party hereby waives, and shall not assert as a defense in any legal dispute, that (i) such person is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for any reason, (ii) such legal proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in the Chosen Courts, (iii) such person’s property is exempt or immune from execution, (iv) such legal proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, or (v) the venue of such legal proceeding is improper. Each party hereby consents to service of process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by Delaware law, further consents to service of process by nationally recognized overnight courier service guaranteeing overnight delivery, or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 6.2, and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such manner of service of process. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 6.8, a party may commence any action, claim, cause of action, or suit in a court other than the Chosen Courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by the Chosen Courts. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH OF THE PARTIES WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS ASSERTED IN ANY LEGAL DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NONCOMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

 

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

 

6.10 No Waiver of Rights, Powers, and Remedies. 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.

 

 

6.11 Remedies.

 

6.11.1 The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Subscription Agreement is not performed or the Closing is not consummated in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damage. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to equitable relief, including in the form of an injunction or injunctions, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Subscription Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 6.8, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in equity, including money damages. The right to specific enforcement shall include the right of the Issuer or GOGN to cause Subscriber and the right of GOGN or Subscriber to cause the Issuer to cause the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Subscription Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the right to directly enforce each of the covenants and agreements of Subscriber under this Subscription Agreement). The parties hereto further agree (i) to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy, (ii) not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement pursuant to this Section 6.11 is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable law, or inequitable for any reason, and (iii) to waive any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

6.11.2 The parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 6.11 is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, the parties hereto would not have entered into this Subscription Agreement.

 

6.12 Headings and Captions. The headings and captions of the various subdivisions of this Subscription Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way modify or affect the meaning or construction of any of the terms or provisions hereof.

 

6.13 Survival. All of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by the parties hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, if for any reason the Closing does not occur at the time immediately following the consummation of the Transactions, all representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements of the parties hereunder shall survive the consummation of the Transactions and remain in full force and effect.

 

6.14 Counterparts. This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, email, or any other form of electronic delivery, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

 

6.15 Construction. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Subscription Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Subscription Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

 

6.16 Mutual Drafting. This Subscription Agreement is the joint product of the parties hereto and each provision hereof has been subject to the mutual consultation, negotiation, and agreement of the parties and shall not be construed for or against any party hereto.

 

 

7. Cleansing Statement; Disclosure.

 

7.1 GOGN shall, by 9:00 a.m., New York time, on the first (1st) Business Day immediately following the date of this Subscription Agreement (but no later than 9:00 a.m., New York time, December 26, 2022), issue one (1) or more press releases or file with the Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K (collectively, the “Disclosure Document”) disclosing or otherwise making publicly available all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Other Subscription Agreements and the Transactions and any other material, nonpublic information that the Issuer or GOGN or their respective representatives have provided to Subscriber at any time prior to the filing of the Disclosure Document. From and after the issuance of the Disclosure Document, to the Issuer and GOGN’s knowledge, Subscriber shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information received from the Issuer, GOGN or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents relating to the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, and Subscriber shall no longer be subject to any confidentiality or similar obligations under any current agreement, whether written or oral with Issuer or any of its affiliates or agents, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

 

7.2 Subscriber hereby consents to the publication and disclosure in (i) any press release issued by GOGN, the Issuer or the Company or the Form 8-K filed by GOGN with the Commission in connection with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, the proxy statement/Registration Statement on Form F-4, or any other filing with the Commission pursuant to applicable securities laws, in each case, as and to the extent required by the federal securities laws or the Commission or any other securities authorities, and (ii) any other documents or communications provided by GOGN, the Issuer or the Company to any governmental authority or to securityholders of the Issuer, in each case, as and to the extent required by applicable law or the Commission or any other governmental authority or NYSE, of Subscriber’s name and identity and the nature of Subscriber’s commitments, arrangements, and understandings under and relating to this Subscription Agreement and, if deemed required by GOGN, the Issuer and/or the Company, a copy of this Subscription Agreement. Other than as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence or as otherwise may be required by the Commission or NYSE, without such Subscriber’s prior written consent, the Issuer will not use or disclose the name of such Subscriber or its affiliates or advisors or any information relating to Subscriber or this Subscription Agreement, other than to the Issuer’s lawyers, independent accountants and to other advisors and service providers who reasonably require such information in connection with the provision of services to such person, are advised of the confidential nature of such information and are obligated to keep such information confidential; or (ii) use the name of such Subscriber or any of its affiliates or advisors in any press release issued in connection with the Transactions, other than to the extent such disclosure is substantially equivalent to the information that has previously been made public in accordance with this Section 7.2. Subscriber will promptly provide any information reasonably requested by GOGN, the Issuer and/or the Company that is required for any regulatory application or filing made or approval sought in connection with the Transactions (including filings with the Commission); provided that such information shall be kept confidential, except as required by the applicable securities laws or pursuant to proceedings of regulatory authorities, and that Subscriber shall not be obliged to provide any information on its financial situation or its investments.

 

 

8. Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber acknowledges that GOGN has established a trust account containing the proceeds of its initial public offering and from certain private placements (collectively, with interest accrued from time to time thereon, the “Trust Account”). Subscriber agrees that (i) it has no right, title, interest, or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and (ii) it shall have no right of set-off or any right, title, interest, or claim of any kind (“Claim”) to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account, in each case in connection with this Subscription Agreement, and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account that it may have in connection with this Subscription Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8 shall be deemed to limit Subscriber’s right, title, interest, or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of such Subscriber’s record or beneficial ownership of securities of GOGN, including any redemption right with respect to any such securities of GOGN. In the event Subscriber has any Claim against GOGN under this Subscription Agreement, Subscriber shall pursue such Claim solely against GOGN and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the property or any monies in the Trust Account. Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that such waiver is material to this Subscription Agreement and has been specifically relied upon by GOGN to induce GOGN to enter into this Subscription Agreement and Subscriber further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding, and enforceable under applicable law. In the event Subscriber, in connection with this Subscription Agreement, commences any action or proceeding which seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the funds held in the Trust Account, whether in the form of monetary damages or injunctive relief, Subscriber shall be obligated to pay to GOGN all of its legal fees and costs in connection with any such action in the event that GOGN prevails in such action or proceeding.

 

9. Rule 144.

 

9.1 From and after such time as the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the Commission that may allow Subscriber to sell the Shares without registration under the Securities Act are available to Subscriber and for so long as Subscriber holds the Shares, for so long as the condition in Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) is required to be satisfied, the Issuer agrees to take commercially reasonable efforts to:

 

9.1.1 make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

 

9.1.2 file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Issuer under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Issuer remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144 to enable Subscriber to sell the Shares under Rule 144; and

 

9.1.3 furnish to Subscriber, promptly upon Subscriber’s reasonable request, (i) a written statement by the Issuer, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act, and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Issuer and such other reports and documents so filed by the Issuer, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit Subscriber to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

 

 

9.2 In connection with any sale or other disposition of the Shares by Subscriber pursuant to Rule 144 or other exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and upon compliance by Subscriber with the requirements of this Section 9.2, if requested by Subscriber and if in the opinion of counsel to the Issuer, it is then permissible to do so, the Issuer shall cause the transfer agent for the Shares (the “Transfer Agent”) to remove the legend set out in Section 3.1.2.2 related to the book entry account holding such Shares and make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry shares sold or disposed of without restrictive legends within five (5) Business Days of any such request therefor from Subscriber; provided that the Issuer and the Transfer Agent have timely received from Subscriber customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith. Such aforementioned request may be made by Subscriber, following the earlier of such time as such Shares (i) are subject to or have been or are about to be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or (ii) have been or are about to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or other exemption from registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will not be required to deliver any such opinion, authorization, certificate, or direction if it reasonably believes, upon advice of reputable external legal counsel, that removal of the legend could result in or facilitate transfers of securities in violation of applicable law.

 

10. Separate Obligations. The obligations of the Subscriber under this Subscription Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other Subscriber under the Other Subscription Agreements, and no Subscriber shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Subscriber under the Other Subscription Agreements. The decision of Subscriber to purchase the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement has been made by Subscriber independently of any Other Subscriber, and neither Subscriber nor any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Other Subscriber (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Other Subscription Agreement, and no action taken by Subscriber, shall be deemed to constitute Subscriber or any Other Subscribers under the Other Subscription Agreements as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that Subscriber or any Other Subscribers 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. Subscriber shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Subscription Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Subscriber to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
