5. | Registration Statement. |
5.1 | The Issuer agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days after the consummation of the Transactions (the “Filing Date”), the Issuer will file with the Commission (at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Shares and any other shares of Issuer Shares held by the Subscriber or any of its affiliates (the “F-1 Registration Statement”), and the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the F-1 Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 90th calendar day (if the Commission notifies the Issuer that it will “review” the F-1 Registration Statement) following the filing thereof and (ii) the 10th Business Day after the date the Issuer is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the F-1 Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”); provided, however, that the Issuer’s obligations to include such shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Issuer such information regarding Subscriber and its affiliates, the securities of the Issuer held by Subscriber and its affiliates and the intended method of disposition of the Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer to effect the registration of the Shares, and Subscriber and such affiliates shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that the Issuer shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the F-1 Registration Statement during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted pursuant to Section 5.4, provided however that Subscriber 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 Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Issuer from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the F-1 Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Shares by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such F-1 Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Shares as is permitted by the Commission. In such event, the number of Shares to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the F-1 Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders. In no event shall Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the F-1 Registration Statement unless requested by the Commission; provided, that if the Commission requests that Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the F-1 Registration Statement, Subscriber will have an opportunity to withdraw from the F-1 Registration Statement. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Issuer to file the F-1 Registration Statement by the Filing Date or to effect such F-1 Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Issuer of its obligations to file or effect the F-1 Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 5. As soon as the Issuer is eligible to file the Form F-3, the Issuer may file with the Commission (at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement on Form F-3 registering the resale of the Shares and any other shares of the Issuer Shares held by the Subscriber or any of its affiliates. |
5.2 | 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. At its expense the Issuer shall: |
a) | except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a F-1 Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Issuer determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to Subscriber, file all reports as required by the Exchange Act, provide all customary and reasonable cooperation necessary to enable Subscriber to resell the Shares pursuant to the F-1 Registration Statement, qualify the Shares for listing on the applicable stock exchange on which the Issuer Shares are then listed, to keep the applicable F-1 Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions and update or amend the F-1 Registration Statement as necessary to include the Shares and provide customary notice to holders of the Shares, 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 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) three (3) years from the effectiveness of the F-1 Registration Statement; |
14
b) | advise Subscriber within three (3) Business Days: |
i) | when a F-1 Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; |
ii) | of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any F-1 Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; |
iii) | 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 |
iv) | subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any F-1 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 other than to the extent that providing notice to Subscriber of the occurrence of the events listed in (i) through (iv) above may constitute material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer;
c) | use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any F-1 Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable; |
d) | upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 5.2(b)(iv), except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a F-1 Registration Statement, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such F-1 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; |
e) | 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; |
15
f) | use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Shares contemplated hereby; and |
g) | use its commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports and other materials required to be filed by 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 the Subscriber to sell the Shares under Rule 144 for so long as the Subscriber holds Shares. |
5.3 | The Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts, if requested by the Subscriber, to (i) cause the removal of any restrictive legend set forth on the Shares and (ii) issue Shares without any such legend in certificated or book-entry form or by electronic delivery through The Depository Trust Company, at the Subscriber’s option, within three (3) Business Days of such request, provided that in each case (a) such Shares are registered for resale under the Securities Act and the Subscriber has sold or proposes to sell such Shares pursuant to such registration, (b) the Subscriber has sold or transferred, or proposes to sell or transfer, Shares pursuant to Rule 144 and (c) the Issuer, its counsel or the Transfer Agent have received customary representations and other documentation from the Subscriber that is reasonably necessary to establish that restrictive legends are no longer required as reasonably requested by the Issuer, its counsel or the Transfer Agent. With respect to clause (a), while the F-1 Registration Statement is effective, if restrictive legends are no longer required for such Shares, the Issuer shall, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3 and within two (2) trading days of any request therefor from the 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 instructions that the Transfer Agent shall make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry Shares. |
5.4 | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the F-1 Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Subscriber not to sell under the F-1 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 an event the Issuer’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel (which may be in-house legal counsel), would require additional disclosure by the Issuer in the F-1 Registration Statement of material information that the Issuer has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the F-1 Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Issuer’s board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel (which may be in-house legal counsel), to cause the F-1 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 F-1 Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than one hundred and twenty (120) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Issuer of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the F-1 Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the F-1 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 (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Shares under the F-1 Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) 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 (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Issuer unless (a) otherwise required by law or subpoena or (b) disclosed to Subscriber’s employees, agents and professional advisors who need to know such information and are obligated to keep it confidential. 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 (i) 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 (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. |
16
5.5 | Subscriber may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Issuer requesting that Subscriber not receive notices from the Issuer otherwise required by Section 5.4 ; provided, however, that Subscriber may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from Subscriber (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Issuer shall not deliver any such notices to Subscriber and Subscriber shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to Subscriber’s intended use of an effective F-1 Registration Statement, Subscriber will notify the Issuer in writing at least two (2) Business Days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 5.5) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Issuer will so notify Subscriber, within one (1) Business Day of Subscriber’s notification to the Issuer, by delivering to Subscriber a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide Subscriber with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event promptly following its availability. |
5.6 | The Issuer shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Subscription Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Subscriber (to the extent a seller under, or named as a selling stockholder in, the F-1 Registration Statement), the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, employees, advisers and agents of each of them, and each person who controls the 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 any and all out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the F-1 Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the F-1 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, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Issuer of the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 5, except to the extent, and only to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding the Subscriber furnished in writing to the Issuer by the Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 5.6 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Issuer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Issuer shall notify the Subscriber of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 5.6 of which the Issuer is aware. The aggregate liability of the Issuer arising from Sections 5.6 and 5.8 shall not exceed the dollar amount paid by the Subscriber under this Subscription Agreement. |
5.7 | The 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 based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any F-1 Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the F-1 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 to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding the Subscriber furnished in writing to the Issuer by the Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 5.7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the liability of the Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Subscriber upon the sale of the Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The Subscriber shall notify the Issuer promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 5.7 of which the Subscriber is aware. 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 the Subscriber. |
17
5.8 | If the indemnification provided under Section 5.6 or Section 5.7 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 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 or other liabilities referred to above shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.6 and Section 5.7 and deemed to include 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 5.8 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Each indemnifying party’s obligation to make a contribution pursuant to this Section 5.8 shall be individual, not joint and several, and in no event shall the liability of Subscriber hereunder exceed the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. |
5.9 | Piggyback Rights. If the Issuer proposes to conduct a registered offering of, or if the Issuer proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the registration of, equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of the Significant Shareholders, other than a registration statement (or any registered offering with respect thereto) (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, including any registration statement on Form S-8, (ii) on Form F-4 or Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Issuer (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, or (v) for a Block Trade (as defined below), then the Issuer shall give written notice of such proposed offering to all of the Eligible Subscribers holding Registrable Securities not less than five (5) business days before the anticipated filing date of the relevant registration statement or, in the case of an underwritten offering pursuant to a shelf registration, the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such offering, which notice shall (A) describe the expected amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Eligible Subscribers holding Registrable Securities the opportunity to include in such registered offering such number of Registrable Securities as such Eligible Subscribers may request in writing within three (3) business days after receipt of such written notice (such registered offering, a “Piggyback Registration”, and the Eligible Subscribers making such request, the “Requesting Piggyback Holders”). Subject to Section 5.9(1), the Issuer shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities so requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration and, if applicable, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of such Piggyback Registration to permit such Registrable Securities to be included therein on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Issuer included in such registered offering and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The inclusion of any Eligible Subscriber’s Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration shall be subject to such Eligible Subscriber’s agreement to enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwritten offering. |
18
For purposes hereof:
“Eligible Subscriber” means a subscriber (including the Subscriber) that purchased Issuer Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or any Other Subscription Agreement;
“Significant Shareholders” means Kismet Sponsor Limited, Andrey Fadeev, Boris Gertsovskiv, Everix Investments Limited and any other shareholder of the Issuer holding in excess of 5% of the total share capital of the Issuer; and
“Registrable Security” shall mean any of the Shares (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Issuer Shares purchased except pursuant to a Subscription Agreement) until the earliest to occur of: (A) a registration statement with respect to the sale of any such Shares shall have become effective under the Securities Act and such securities shall have been sold, transferred, disposed of or exchanged in accordance with such registration statement; (B) any such Shares shall have ceased to be outstanding; (C) any such Shares have been sold without registration pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission); and (D) any such Shares have been sold to, or through, a broker, dealer or underwriter in a public distribution or other public securities transaction.
(1) | Reduction of Piggyback Registration. If the managing underwriter or underwriters in an underwritten offering that is to be a Piggyback Registration, in good faith, advises the Issuer and the Requesting Piggyback Holders pursuant to this Section 5.9 in writing that the dollar amount or number of Issuer Shares or other equity securities that the Issuer desires to sell, taken together with the Issuer Shares or other equity securities, if any, as to which registration or a registered offering has been demanded or requested by Requesting Piggyback Holders or Significant Shareholders exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the underwritten offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then (x) if the registration or registered offering is undertaken for the Issuer’s account, the Issuer shall include in any such registration or registered offering the Issuer Shares (or other equity securities) in the following order of priority, without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities: |
(A) | first, all Issuer Shares the Issuer desires to sell; |
(B) | second, all Issuer Shares desired to be sold by the Requesting Piggyback Holders and Significant Shareholders desire to sell. As between the Requesting Piggyback Holders and Significant Shareholders, the remaining Issuer Shares (or other equity securities) shall be allocated 20% for the Eligible Subscribers (as between the Eligible Subscribers pro rata based on the respective number of shares that each such Eligible Holder have requested to be included), and 80% for the Significant Shareholders (pursuant to any agreement between them with respect to pro rata cut backs in a registered offering); |
(C) | third, all other holders so entitled to participate pursuant to any agreement with respect to such rights; and |
(y) | if the registration or registered offering is undertaken pursuant to request of an Other Subscriber or of a Significant Shareholder the Issuer shall include in any such registration or registered offering the Issuer Shares (or other equity securities) in the order of priority set out in paragraphs (B) and (C) immediately above, without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities. |
19
(2) | Piggyback Registration Withdrawal. Any Requesting Piggyback Holder shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Issuer and the underwriter or underwriters (if any) of its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration up to one (1) day prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration or, in the case of a Piggyback Registration pursuant to a shelf registration, the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect to such Piggyback Registration used for marketing such transaction. The Issuer (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a registration statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such registration statement. The Issuer shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal. |
(3) | Subscriber Information. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5 to the contrary, Subscriber may not participate in any underwritten offering pursuant to this Section 5.9 unless Subscriber (x) agrees to sell Subscriber’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Issuer and (y) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. |
5.10 | Block Trades. For purposes hereof, “Block Trade” means an offering not involving a public “roadshow,” commonly known as a “block trade.” Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5, at any time and from time to time when an effective registration statement in respect of the Shares is on file with the Commission, if the Subscriber wishes to engage in a Block Trade that comprises all of the Registrable Securities held by the Subscriber, then the Subscriber only needs to notify the Issuer of the Block Trade at least five (5) business days prior to the day such offering is to commence and the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such Block Trade by providing access to management and assisting with due diligence, subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 5.2(b). Section 5.9 shall not apply to a Block Trade. The Subscriber shall have the right to select the placement agents, underwriters or sales agents for such Block Trade (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks). |
5.11 | Registration Expenses. All Registration Expenses shall be borne by the Issuer. It is acknowledged that Subscriber shall bear, with respect to Subscriber’s Registrable Securities being sold, all underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees and the expenses of any legal counsel representing Subscriber. For purposes hereof, “Registration Expenses” shall mean the out-of-pocket expenses of a the relevant registration, including, without limitation, the following: (A) all registration and filing fees (including fees with respect to filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.) and any national securities exchange on which the Issuer Shares are then listed; (B) fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel for the underwriters in connection with blue sky qualifications of Registrable Securities); (C) printing, messenger, telephone and delivery expenses; (D) reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Issuer; and (E) reasonable fees and disbursements of all independent registered public accountants of the Issuer incurred in connection with such registration. |
5.12 | With a view to making available to Subscriber the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit Subscriber to sell securities of the Issuer to the public without registration, the Issuer agrees, until the Shares are sold by Subscriber, to: |
a) | make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; |
b) | 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; |
20
c) | furnish to Subscriber so long as it owns the Shares, as promptly as practicable upon request, (x) 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, (y) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Issuer and such other reports and documents so filed by the Issuer with the Commission and (z) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit Subscriber to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration; |
d) | in connection with a sale by Subscriber pursuant to Rule 144, if any legended transfer restrictions are no longer required by the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, upon request of Subscriber, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Subscriber to have such transfer restrictions removed, including providing authorization to the Transfer agent; and |
e) | so long as Subscriber owns the Shares, the Issuer will provide thirty (30) days advance written notice to Subscriber of any distribution of property other than (i) cash (regardless of currency denomination) or (ii) any interest treated as corporate stock (or any options or rights to acquire interests treated as corporate stock (including under a rights plan)) or indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes from the Issuer to the Subscriber (other than (a) stock of, or options in, a “United States real property holding corporation” within the meaning of section 897 of the Code in which Subscriber would own 50% or more of the equity, by vote or value, (or otherwise control the entity for purposes of section 892 of the Code) as a result of the distribution, or (b) indebtedness providing for payments determined by reference to the value of any interest in United States real estate or any proceeds realized from the disposition of United States real estate). In the event the Subscriber transfers or otherwise disposes of its entire interest the Shares (other than to an affiliate), the Subscriber shall promptly notify the Issuer and the covenant set forth in this Section 5.12 shall terminate for all purposes. |
6. | 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 (i) such date and time as the Business Combination Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms, (ii) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (iii) the Issuer’s notification to Subscriber in writing that it has abandoned its plans to move forward with the Transactions, (iv) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 4.2 or Section 4.3 are not satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated at the Closing or (v) at the election of Subscriber, on or after the date that is 270 days after the date of the execution of the Business Combination Agreement if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to such date; provided, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any 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 Issuer shall promptly notify Subscriber of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement. Upon termination of this Subscription Agreement pursuant to this Section 6, after the delivery by the Subscriber of the Purchase Price for the Shares, the Issuer shall promptly (but not later than one (1) Business Day thereafter) return the Purchase Price to the Subscriber without any deduction for, or on account of, any tax, withholding, charges or set-off. |

7.5 | 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. |
7.6 | Modifications and Amendments. 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. In no instance shall any amendment, modification or waiver to the Subscription Agreement have occurred that confers a benefit to any Other Subscriber unless the Subscriber has been offered the same benefit. |
24
7.7 | Assignment. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights, interests or obligations that may accrue to the parties hereunder (including Subscriber’s rights to purchase the Shares) may be transferred or assigned without the prior written consent of each of the other parties hereto (other than the Shares acquired hereunder, if any, and then only in accordance with this Subscription Agreement), other than an assignment to any controlled affiliate of the Subscriber or any fund or account managed by the same investment manager as the Subscriber or a controlled affiliate thereof, subject to, if such transfer or assignment is prior to the Closing, such transferee or assignee, as applicable, executing a joinder to this Subscription Agreement or a separate subscription agreement in substantially the same form as this Subscription Agreement, including with respect to the Purchase Price and other terms and conditions; provided, however, that, in the case of any such transfer or assignment, the initial party to this Subscription Agreement shall remain bound by its obligations under this Subscription Agreement. |
7.8 | Benefit. |
a) | 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. Except as provided for in Section 7.1, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. |
b) | Each of the Issuer and Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that each representation, warranty, covenant and agreement of the Issuer and Subscriber hereunder is being made for the benefit of the Company after Closing. |
7.9 | 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 laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. |
7.10 | 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 United States federal courts, such legal proceeding shall be heard in the United States 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 7.4 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 7.10, 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. |
25
7.11 | 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. |
7.12 | 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. |
7.13 | Remedies. |
a) | The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if this Subscription Agreement was not performed or the Closing is not consummated in accordance with its specific terms or was 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 7.10, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, including money damages. The right to specific enforcement shall include the right of the Issuer, Sponsor or Kismet to cause Subscriber and the right of Kismet, Sponsor or the 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. 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 7.13 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. |
b) | The parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 7.13 is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, the parties hereto would not have entered into this Subscription Agreement. |
7.14 | Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties 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 prior to 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. |
26
7.15 | 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. |
7.16 | 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 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. |
7.17 | 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. All references in this Subscription Agreement to numbers of shares, per share amounts and purchase prices shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or the like occurring after the date hereof. |
7.18 | Mutual Drafting. Each provision of this Subscription Agreement has been subject to the mutual consultation, negotiation and agreement of the parties and shall not be construed for or against any party hereto. |
7.19 | Consent to Disclosure. To the extent required by the federal securities laws or the Commission or any other securities authorities, any other documents or communications provided by the Issuer, Kismet, Sponsor or the Company to any governmental authority or to securityholders of the Issuer, Subscriber hereby consents to the publication and disclosure in the Form 8-K filed by Kismet with the Commission in connection with the Proxy Statement of Subscriber’s identity and beneficial ownership of the Shares and the nature of Subscriber’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under and relating to this Subscription Agreement, provided that the Issuer, Kismet or Sponsor shall provide Subscriber (to the extent legally permissible) with prior written notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause. Notwithstanding anything in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, the Issuer, the Company, Sponsor and Kismet shall not, without the prior written consent of Subscriber, publicly disclose the name of Subscriber or any of its advisors or affiliates, or include the name of Subscriber or any of its affiliates (i) in any press release or (ii) in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or trading market, without the prior written consent of Subscriber, except to the extent such disclosure is required by law, in which case the Issuer shall provide Subscriber with prior written notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause and shall reasonably consult with Subscriber regarding such disclosure. |
7.20 | Trust Account Waiver. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Subscriber acknowledges that it has read the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of August 5, 2020, by and between Kismet and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, and understands that Kismet has established the trust account described therein (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of Kismet’s public stockholders and that disbursements from the Trust Account are available only in the limited circumstances set forth therein. Subscriber further acknowledges and agrees that Kismet’s sole assets consist of the cash proceeds of Kismet’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities, and that substantially all of these proceeds have been deposited in the Trust Account for the benefit of its public stockholders. Accordingly, Subscriber (on behalf of itself and its affiliates) hereby waives any past, present or future claim of any kind arising out of this Subscription Agreement against, and any right to access, the Trust Account, any trustee of the Trust Account and Kismet to collect from the Trust Account any monies that may be owed to them by Kismet or any of its affiliates for any reason whatsoever, and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account at any time for any claim of any kind arising out of this Subscription Agreement, including, without limitation, for any knowing and intentional material breach by any of the parties to this Subscription Agreement of any of its representations or warranties as set forth in this Subscription Agreement, or such party’s material breach of any of its covenants or other agreements set forth in this Subscription Agreement, which material breach constitutes, or is a consequence of, a purposeful act or failure to act by such party with the knowledge that the taking of such act or failure to take such act would cause a material breach of this Subscription Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.20 shall (i) serve to limit or prohibit Subscriber’s right to pursue a claim against Kismet for legal relief against assets held outside the Trust Account (so long as such claim would not affect Kismet’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate any redemption right with respect to any securities of Kismet), for specific performance or other equitable relief, (ii) serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Subscriber may have in the future against Kismet’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds) (so long as such claim would not affect Kismet’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate any redemption right with respect to any securities of Kismet) or (iii) be deemed to limit Subscriber’s right, title, interest, or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of Subscriber’s record or beneficial ownership of securities of Kismet acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, including any redemption right with respect to any such securities of Kismet. This Section 7.20 shall survive the termination of this Subscription Agreement for any reason. |

8. | Independent Obligations. The obligations of Subscriber under this Subscription Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other Subscriber or any other investor under the Other Subscription Agreements, and Subscriber shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Subscriber under Other Subscription Agreements or any other investor under the Other Subscription Agreements. The decision of Subscriber to purchase Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement has been made by Subscriber independently of any Other Subscriber or any other investor and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or any of its subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any Other Subscriber or investor or by any agent or employee of any Other Subscriber or investor, and neither Subscriber nor any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Other Subscriber or investor (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 or investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Subscriber and other investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Subscriber and 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. Subscriber acknowledges that no Other Subscriber has acted as agent for the Subscriber in connection with making its investment hereunder and no Other Subscriber will be acting as agent of the Subscriber in connection with monitoring its investment in the Shares or enforcing its rights under this Subscription Agreement. 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 or investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. |
