In connection with the Transaction, certain other “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) and certain other institutional “accredited investors” (as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act) have entered into separate subscription agreements with the Company in substantially the same form and on substantially the same terms as this Subscription Agreement (the “Other Subscription Agreements”), pursuant to which such investors have, together with the undersigned pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (each such investor, including the undersigned, a “Subscriber” and together, the “Subscribers”) agreed to purchase, severally and not jointly, an aggregate of not less than 14,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at the Per Share Price (the shares of Class A Common Stock subject to this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements, collectively, the “Aggregate Subscribed Shares”). In connection therewith, the parties agree as follows:

1.    Subscription. Subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph, Subscriber hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to Subscriber upon payment of the Purchase Price, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as is set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement (the “Shares”) on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for herein (the “Subscription”).

2.    Closing. The closing of the Subscription contemplated hereby (the “Subscription Closing”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction (the “Transaction Closing”). The Subscription Closing shall occur on the date of, and immediately prior to or substantially concurrently with, the consummation of the Transaction Closing (the “Transaction Closing Date”). Not less than five (5) business days prior to the scheduled


Transaction Closing Date, the Company shall provide written notice to Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”) (i) of such scheduled Transaction Closing Date, (ii) that the Company reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transaction to be satisfied or waived and (iii) containing wire instructions for the payment of the Purchase Price. Subscriber shall deliver to the Company, at least one (1) business day prior to the Transaction Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice,1 the Purchase Price, to be held in escrow by the Company until the Subscription Closing, by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company in the Closing Notice. On the Transaction Closing Date, the Company shall confirm to Subscriber in writing (it being understood that an email confirmation is sufficient) that all conditions to the closing of the Transaction have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that may only be satisfied at the closing of the Transaction, but subject to the satisfaction and waiver of such conditions as of the closing of the Transaction) and deliver to Subscriber against (and concurrently with) the payment of the Purchase Price of (i) the Shares in book-entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those arising under state or federal securities laws or as set forth herein), registered in the name of Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) or to a custodian designated by Subscriber, as applicable, and (ii) a certification of the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) confirming the issuance and delivery of the Shares to the Subscriber (or such nominee or custodian) on and as of the Transaction Closing Date. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “business day” shall mean any day other than Saturday, Sunday or such other days on which banks located in New York, New York, Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China are required or authorized by applicable law to be closed for business. Upon delivery of the Shares to Subscriber (or its nominee or custodian, if applicable), the Purchase Price may be released by the Company from escrow.

If the Transaction Closing does not occur within two (2) business days following the scheduled Transaction Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, the Company shall promptly (but not later than three (3) business days following the scheduled Transaction Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice) return the Purchase Price to Subscriber by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by Subscriber and any book-entries shall be cancelled; provided, that unless this Subscription Agreement has been validly terminated

 

1 

For any Subscriber that is an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”) or that is advised by an investment adviser subject to regulation under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Investment Advisers Act”), substitute the following closing mechanics in lieu of those described in the fourth and fifth sentences of this Section 2: “Subscriber shall initiate funding of the Purchase Price to the Company by no later than 8:00 a.m. New York City time on the Closing Date, via wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Issuer in the Closing Notice; provided, that the Subscriber shall not be obligated to initiate funding of the Purchase Price or consummate the Subscription Closing until the Company has delivered to the Subscriber (i) the Shares in book entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those arising under state or federal securities laws), in the name of Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) or to a custodian designated by Subscriber, as applicable, and (ii) a copy of the records of, or correspondence from, the Company’s transfer agent reflecting Subscriber as the owner of the Shares on and as of the Closing Date or the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date, as applicable. In the event the Purchase Price has not been delivered within one (1) business day of the issuance of the Shares, such issuance shall be deemed to be null and void and the Company shall promptly reverse and cancel any book entries reflecting the issuance of the Shares.”


pursuant to Section 8 of this Subscription Agreement, neither the failure of the Subscription Closing to occur on the scheduled Transaction Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice nor such return of funds shall (x) terminate this Subscription Agreement, (y) be deemed a failure of any of the conditions to the Subscription Closing set forth in Section 3 of this Subscription Agreement to be satisfied (or capable of being satisfied) or (z) otherwise relieve any party of its obligations under this Subscription Agreement, including Subscriber’s obligation to redeliver the Purchase Price and purchase the Shares at the Subscription Closing in the event the Company delivers a subsequent Closing Notice.

Each book entry for the Shares shall contain a notation, and each certificate (if any) evidencing the Shares shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend, in substantially the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

(e)    The execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Shares and the compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not 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 the Company pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or Merger Sub is a party or by which the Company or Merger Sub is bound or to which any of the properties or assets of the Company is subject, which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial condition, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company or materially affect the validity of the Shares or the legal authority of the Company to comply in all material


respects with the terms of this Subscription Agreement (a “Company Material Adverse Effect”); (ii) the provisions of the organizational documents of the Company; or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties that would have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(g)    The Company is in compliance with all applicable law, except where such non-compliance would not be reasonably likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company has not received any written, or to its knowledge, other communication from a governmental entity that alleges that 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 likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

None of the 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; provided, that with respect to the information about the Company’s affiliates contained in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 and/or Schedule 14A and related proxy materials (or other SEC Document) to be filed by the Company, the representation and warranty in this sentence is made to the Company’s knowledge; provided, further, that the Company makes no such representation or warranty with respect to the accounting treatment of its warrants, and related disclosure, in the SEC Documents, including with respect to the matters described in the Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies by the Commission made on April 12, 2021, and any consequences thereof or actions taken by the Company directly in response thereto.

(m)    Other than the Other Subscription Agreements, the Company has not entered into any side letter or similar agreement with any Subscriber in connection with such Subscriber’s direct or indirect investment in the Company, and no Other Subscription Agreement includes terms and conditions that are materially more advantageous to any such other Subscriber than Subscriber hereunder. The Other Subscription Agreements have not been amended in any material respect following the date of this Subscription Agreement and reflect the same Per Share Price and terms that are no more favorable in any material respect to such Subscriber thereunder than the terms of this Subscription Agreement.

(m)    Subscriber is not (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program, (ii) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, or (iii) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank (collectively, a “Prohibited Investor”). Subscriber agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that Subscriber is permitted to do so under applicable law. If Subscriber is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.) (the “BSA”), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), Subscriber maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. To the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List. To the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by Subscriber and used to purchase the Shares were legally derived.

(n)    In connection with the issue and purchase of the Shares, the Placement Agents have not acted as Subscriber’s financial advisor or fiduciary.

(o)    If Subscriber is an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of ERISA, a plan, an individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to Section 4975


of the Code or an employee benefit plan that is a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA), a non-U.S. plan (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) or other plan that is not subject to the foregoing but may be subject to provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or an entity whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement (each, a “Plan”) subject to the fiduciary or prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, the Subscriber represents and warrants that neither the Company nor any of its affiliates (the “Company Parties”) has acted as the Plan’s fiduciary, or has been relied on for advice, with respect to its decision to acquire and hold the Shares, and none of the Company Parties shall at any time be relied upon as the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision to acquire, continue to hold or transfer the Shares.

(p)    Subscriber has or has enforceable commitments to have, and at least one (1) business day prior to the Transaction Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice will have, sufficient funds to pay the Purchase Price and consummate the Subscription Closing when required pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

(q)    Subscriber is not currently (and at all times through Subscription Closing will refrain from being or becoming) a member of a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act, or any successor provision) acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing of equity securities of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act), other than a group consisting solely of Subscriber and other entities under common control.

(r)    Subscriber hereby agrees that, from the date of this Subscription Agreement until the Transaction Closing Date, neither Subscriber nor any person or entity acting on behalf of Subscriber or pursuant to any understanding with Subscriber will engage in any Short Sales with respect to securities of the Company. For purposes of this Section 6(s), “Short Sales” shall include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges (other than pledges in the ordinary course of business as part of prime brokerage or other similar financing arrangements), forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall prohibit Subscriber from engaging in (i) any purchase of securities by Subscriber, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates in an open market transaction after the execution of this Subscription Agreement, or (ii) any sale (including the exercise of any redemption right) of securities of the Company (A) held by the Subscriber, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates prior to the execution of this Subscription Agreement or (B) purchased by Subscriber, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on


behalf of Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates in an open market transaction after the execution of this Subscription Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing herein shall prohibit other entities under common management with Subscriber that have no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of Subscriber’s participation in the Subscription (including Subscriber’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any Short Sales and (ii) in the case of a Subscriber that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Subscriber’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Subscriber’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Subscription Agreement.

7.    Registration Rights.

(a)    The Company agrees that it will, within thirty (30) calendar days after the Transaction Closing (the “Filing Deadline”), file with the Commission (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering under the Securities Act the resale of all the Shares, and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Filing Deadline and (ii) the 10th business day after the date the Company 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 earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”); provided, however, that the Company’s obligations to include the Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Company held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Shares, and Subscriber shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that the Company 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 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. The Company will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to the Subscriber for review at least two (2) business days in advance of filing the Registration Statement. In no event shall the Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the Commission; provided, that if the Commission requests that the Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Subscriber will have an opportunity to withdraw its Shares from the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the


foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Company from including any or all of the shares of Class A Common Stock proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 under the Securities Act for the resale of the shares of Class A Common Stock held by Subscriber or any other Subscriber or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of shares of Class A Common Stock which is equal to the maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock as is permitted by the Commission. In such event, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders. Except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the Registration Statement or the prospectus forming a part thereof, until the earliest of (i) the date on which the Shares held by Subscriber may be sold without restriction under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) or Rule 144(i)(2), as applicable, (ii) the date on which Subscriber ceases to hold such Shares and (iii) the date which is two years after the Effectiveness Date, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the continuous effectiveness of the Registration Statement, 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 Registration Statement or Rule 144, as applicable, qualify the Shares for listing on the applicable stock exchange on which the Class A Common Stock is then listed, update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include the Shares and provide customary notice to holders of the Shares. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Company to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to have such Registration Statement declared effective by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement set forth in this Section 7.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require any Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if (x)(i) an amendment to the Registration Statement would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act or (ii) the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event, the Company’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Company in the Registration Statement of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential, and the non-disclosure of (i) or (ii) in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Company’s board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements, (y) during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted


hereunder and (z) as may be necessary in connection with the preparation and filing of a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement following the filing of the Company’s (including the combined company after giving effect to the Transaction) Annual Report on Form 10-K for its first completed fiscal year following the Subscription Closing (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Company may not delay or suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement on more than two 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, and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such registration statement available for the sale by the Subscriber of such securities as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any Suspension Event (which notice shall not contain material non-public information) 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, each Subscriber agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Shares under the Registration Statement until such Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company 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 Company 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 Company unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Company, each Subscriber will deliver to the Company or, in such Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares in such 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 such 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.

(c)    Subscriber may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company requesting that Subscriber not receive notices from the Company otherwise required by this Section 7; 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 Company 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 Registration Statement, Subscriber will notify the Company 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 7(c) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Company will so notify Subscriber, within one (1) business


day of Subscriber’s notification to the Company, 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 immediately upon its availability.

(d)    The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Subscription Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Subscriber (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), the officers, directors, employees, members, managers, partners, shareholders and agents of each of them, and each person who controls such 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”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (i) 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, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company 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 7, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding such Subscriber furnished in writing to the Company by such Subscriber expressly for use therein or such Subscriber has omitted a material fact from such information or otherwise violated the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any other law, rule or regulation thereunder, in each case, in connection with the registration of the Class A Common Stock; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable for any Losses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon a violation which occurs (A) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by a Subscriber, (B) in connection with any failure of such person to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made available by the Company in a timely manner, (C) as a result of offers or sales effected by or on behalf of any person by means of a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that was not authorized in writing by the Company, or (D) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of a Subscriber in violation of this Section 7. The Company shall notify such Subscriber promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 7 of which the Company 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 such Subscriber.


(e)    Each Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, and each person who controls the Company (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 Losses, as incurred, arising out of or based upon 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 to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding such Subscriber furnished in writing to the Company by such Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the liability of any Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Subscriber upon the sale of the Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Each Subscriber shall notify the Company promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 7 of which such 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 such Subscriber.

(f)    If the indemnification provided under this Section 7 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Losses 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 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 deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 7(d) and 7(e) above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 7(f) from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.


8.    Termination. Except for the provisions of Sections 8 through 10, 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 (a) following the execution of the Transaction Agreement, such date and time as such Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, rescinded, or rendered invalid, illegal or unenforceable by law or otherwise, without the Transaction being consummated, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto and Target to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) if any of the conditions to the Subscription Closing set forth in Section 3 of this Subscription Agreement are not satisfied as of the time required hereunder to be so satisfied or waived (to the extent a valid waiver is capable of being issued) by the party entitled to grant such waiver on or prior to the Subscription Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated at the Subscription Closing, (d) at the election of Subscriber, on or after the “Outside Date” as defined in the Transaction Agreement (as such Outside Date may be amended or extended from time to time), and (e) such time as the Company notifies the undersigned in writing, or publicly discloses, that it does not intend to consummate the Transaction; provided that, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9, nothing herein will relieve any party hereto from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party hereto will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover out-of-pocket losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach. The Company shall promptly notify Subscriber of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination of such Transaction Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, if any termination hereof occurs after the delivery by Subscriber of the Purchase Price for the Shares, the Company shall promptly (but not later than one (1) business day thereafter) return the Purchase Price to Subscriber without any deduction for or on account of any tax, withholding, charges, or set-off.

9.    Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber acknowledges that the Company is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses or assets. Subscriber further acknowledges that, as described in the Company’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated December 2, 2020 (the “Prospectus”) available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of the Company’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of the Company’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of the Company, its public stockholders and the underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering. For and in consideration of the Company entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind it has or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account, in each case, as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement; provided that nothing in this Section 9


(x) shall serve to limit or prohibit the Subscriber’s right to pursue a claim against Company for legal relief against assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief, (y) shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Subscriber may have in the future against Company’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account or (z) shall 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 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

10.    Miscellaneous.

(a)    The Company shall, no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first (1st) business day immediately following the date this Subscription Agreement is accepted by the Company as set forth on the Company’s signature page hereto, issue one or more press releases or file with the Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K (collectively, the “Disclosure Document”) disclosing, to the extent not previously disclosed, all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Transaction and any other material, non-public information that any of the Company, Target or any of their respective officers, directors or employees has provided to the undersigned at any time prior to the filing of the Disclosure Document. From and after the issuance of the Disclosure Document, the undersigned shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information received from the Company, Target or any of their respective officers, directors or employees. Notwithstanding anything in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that without the prior written consent of the other party hereto it will not publicly make reference to such other party or any of its affiliates (i) in connection with the Transaction or this Subscription Agreement (provided that the Subscriber may disclose its entry into this Subscription Agreement and the Purchase Price) or (ii) in any promotional materials, media, or similar circumstances, except, (x) in a press release or marketing materials of the Company in connection with the Transaction to the extent any such disclosure is substantially equivalent to information that has previously been made public without breach of any obligation under this Section 10(a) and (y) as required by law or regulation or at the request of the Staff of the Commission or regulatory agency or under the regulations of the NYSE, including, in the case of the Company (1) as required by the federal securities law in connection with the Registration Statement, (2) the filing of this Subscription Agreement (or a form of this Subscription Agreement) with the Commission and (3) the filing of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 and/or Schedule 14A (or other SEC Document) and related materials to be filed by the Company with respect to the Transaction.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, prior to the Subscription Closing, Subscriber may not transfer or assign all or a portion of its rights under this Subscription Agreement other than to a fund or account managed by the same investment manager as Subscriber, or an affiliate of the Subscriber, without the prior consent of the Company; provided that such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Subscription Agreement,


makes the representations and warranties in Section 6 and completes Schedule A hereto. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) the Target is a third-party beneficiary hereof and no consent, waiver, modification or amendment hereunder or hereof may be given or agreed to by the Company without the Target’s prior written consent, (ii) this Subscription Agreement is being entered into in order to induce each of the Company and the Target to execute and deliver the Transaction Agreement and without the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company and Subscriber hereunder, each of the Company and the Target would not enter into the Transaction Agreement, (iii) each representation, warranty, covenant and agreement of the Company and Subscriber hereunder is being made also for the benefit of the Target, and (iv) the Target may directly enforce (including by an action for specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable relief) each of the covenants and agreements of each of the Company and Subscriber under this Subscription Agreement.

(c)    The Company may request from Subscriber such additional information as the Company may reasonably deem necessary or practical to (x) register the resale of the Shares, (y) evaluate the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the Shares or (z) otherwise consummate or evidence the transaction contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, and Subscriber shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested, to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with its internal policies and procedures; provided that the Company agrees to keep confidential any such information provided by Subscriber and identified as confidential, except (i) as may be required under applicable law or (ii) as necessary to include in any registration statement the Company is required to file hereunder or in connection herewith, provided, further, that (to the extent legally permissible) the Company provides to Subscriber a written notice of any disclosure of such information in advance of such disclosure. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that if it does not provide the Company with such requested information, the Company may not be able to register the Shares for resale pursuant to Section 7 hereof.

(d)    If the Shares are eligible to be sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or without restriction under, and without the Company being in compliance with the current public information requirements of, Rule 144, then at Subscriber’s request, including in connection with any transfer by Subscriber to the account of a DTC participant without prior sale, the Company will cause the Transfer Agent to remove any remaining restrictive legend set forth on such Shares. In connection therewith, if required by the Transfer Agent, the Company will promptly cause an opinion of counsel to be delivered to and maintained with the Transfer Agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the Transfer Agent that authorize and direct the Transfer Agent to issue such Shares without any such legend.

(e)    Subscriber acknowledges that the Company, the Target and the Placement Agents will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement, including, without limitation, those made by Subscriber to the Company in this Subscription Agreement. Each of the


Company, the Target and Subscriber further acknowledges that the Placement Agents shall be entitled to rely on the representations and warranties contained in Section 5 and Section 6, respectively, of this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Subscription Closing, each party hereto agrees to promptly notify the other party hereto if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of such party set forth herein are no longer accurate in all material respects. Each party agrees that each purchase by Subscriber of Shares from the Company will constitute a reaffirmation of its own acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein (as modified by any such notice) as of the Subscription Closing. The Company and Subscriber further acknowledge and agree that the Placement Agents are third-party beneficiaries of the representations and warranties of the Company and Subscriber contained in Section 5 and Section 6, respectively, of this Subscription Agreement.

(f)    Each of the Company and Target is entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof when required by law, regulatory authority or NYSE to do so in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

(g)    Except if required by law, the Commission or NYSE, without the prior written consent of Subscriber, the Company shall not, and shall cause its representatives, including the Placement Agents and their representatives, not to, disclose the existence of this Subscription Agreement or any negotiations related hereto, or to use the name of Subscriber or any information provided by Subscriber in connection herewith in or for the purpose of any marketing activities or materials or for any similar or related purpose.

(h)    All the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Subscription Closing.

(i)    Each party hereto agrees for the express benefit of each of the Placement Agents, their respective affiliates and their respective representatives that:

 

  (i)

Neither the Placement Agents nor any of their respective affiliates or representatives (A) has any duties or obligations other than those specifically set forth herein or in their respective engagement letter with the Company (the “Engagement Letters”); (B) shall be liable for any improper payment made in accordance with the information provided by the Company in connection with this Subscription Agreement; (C) makes any representation or warranty, or has any responsibilities as to the validity, accuracy, value or genuineness of any information, certificates or documentation delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or in connection with the Transaction, including any information in the SEC Documents; or (D) shall be liable to Subscriber (x) for any action taken, suffered or omitted by any of them in good faith and reasonably believed to be authorized or within the discretion or


  rights or powers conferred upon it by this Subscription Agreement or (y) for anything which any of them may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Subscription Agreement, except for such party’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith; and

 

  (ii)

Each of the Placement Agents and their respective affiliates and representatives shall be entitled to rely on, and shall be protected in acting upon, any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter or any other document or security delivered to any of them by or on behalf of the Company.

(j)    This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto and Target; provided, that this Subscription Agreement may be amended, modified or waived with the written consent of the Company, Target and the holders then committed to purchase a majority of the Aggregate Subscribed Shares to be purchased at the Subscription Closing (or, if after the Subscription Closing, the holders then holding a majority of the then outstanding Aggregate Subscribed Shares) pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements (collectively, the “Required Subscribers”). Upon the effectuation of such amendment, modification or waiver with the consent of the Required Subscribers in conformance with this Section 10(j), such amendment, modification or waiver shall be binding on the Subscriber and effective as to all of this Subscription Agreement. The Company shall promptly give written notice thereof to Subscriber if Subscriber has not previously consented to such amendment, modification or waiver in writing; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such amendment, modification or waiver. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) any amendment, modification or waiver that has a disproportionate effect on Subscriber (considered apart from any disproportionate effect owing to the number of Shares held by such Subscriber) relative to any of the other Subscribers shall require the consent of Subscriber, (ii) any amendment to Section 5(k), Section 7 or Section 8 of this Subscription Agreement shall require the consent of Subscriber and (iii) any amendment, modification or other change that alters the Per Share Price, the Purchase Price, or the number of Shares shall require the consent of Subscriber.

(k)    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. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Subscription Agreement, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successor and assigns.
