Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

In connection with the proposed business combination (the “Transaction”) between Murphy Canyon Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors, the “Company”), and Conduit Pharmaceuticals Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (together with its successors, “Target”), in accordance with that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 8, 2022 and as amended on January 27, 2023 and May 11, 2023 (as it may be amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among, the Company, Target, and Conduit Merger Sub, Inc., a Cayman Islands company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Murphy (“Merger Sub”), the Company and Target are seeking commitments to purchase units of the Company (the “Units”), with each Unit consisting of (i) one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) and (ii) one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock (each, a “Company Warrant”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit (the “Purchase Price”), in a private placement to be conducted by the Company (the “Offering”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Transaction Closing”), among other matters, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Target, with the Target continuing as the surviving entity following the merger (the “Merger”). In connection therewith, the undersigned subscriber (“Subscriber”), and the Company agree in this subscription agreement (this “Subscription Agreement”) as follows:

 

1.Subscription. Subscriber hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company agrees to issue and sell to Subscriber, such number of Units as is set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement (the “Subscribed Units”) at the Purchase Price per Unit and on the terms provided for herein. The Company may enter into agreements that are substantially similar in form to this Subscription Agreement with several different subscribers.

 

2.Closing; Delivery of Subscribed Units.

 

(a)The closing of the sale of Subscribed Units contemplated hereby (the “Closing”, and the date on which the Closing actually occurs, the “Closing Date”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction Closing. The Closing shall occur on the date of, and immediately prior to, the Transaction Closing.

 

 

 

 

(b)The Company shall provide written notice (which may be via email) to Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”) that the Company reasonably expects the Transaction Closing to occur on a date specified in the notice (the “Scheduled Closing Date”) that is not less than three (3) business days after the date of the Closing Notice, which Closing Notice shall contain the Company’s wire instructions for an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) established by the Company with a third party escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) to be identified in the Closing Notice. The failure of the Closing to occur on the Scheduled Closing Date shall not terminate this Subscription Agreement or otherwise relieve either party of any of its obligations hereunder. At least two (2) business days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, Subscriber shall deliver to the Escrow Account the aggregate Purchase Price for the Subscribed Units (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”) by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds. The wire transfer shall identify Subscriber, and unless otherwise agreed by the Company, the funds shall be wired from an account in Subscriber’s name. Upon the Closing, the Company shall provide instructions to the Escrow Agent to release the funds in the Escrow Account to the Company against delivery to Subscriber of the Subscribed Units, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those arising under state or federal securities laws or those incurred by Subscriber), in book-entry form as set forth in Section 2(c) below. If this Subscription Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing and any funds have already been sent by Subscriber to the Escrow Account, or the Closing Date does not occur within three (3) business days after the Scheduled Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, the Company shall, or shall cause the Escrow Agent to promptly (but not later than five (5) business days after the Scheduled Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice), return the funds delivered by Subscriber for payment of the Subscribed Units by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by Subscriber (provided, that the failure of the Closing Date to occur within such three (3) business day period and the return of the relevant funds shall not relieve Subscriber from its obligations under this Subscription Agreement for a subsequently rescheduled Closing Date determined by the Company in good faith).

 

(c)Promptly after the Closing, the Company shall deliver (or cause the delivery of) the Subscribed Units to Subscriber (or its permitted assignee) in book-entry form with restrictive legends for the number of Units as set forth on the signature page to Subscriber as indicated on the signature page or to a custodian designated by Subscriber, as applicable, as indicated below.

 

3.Closing Conditions. In addition to the condition set forth in Section 2(a) above:

 

(a)The Closing is also subject to the satisfaction or valid waiver by each party of the conditions that, on the Closing Date:

 

i.no suspension of the qualification of the Common Stock for offering or sale or trading in any jurisdiction, or initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes, shall have occurred and be continuing;

 

ii.no governmental authority of competent jurisdiction with respect to the sale of the Subscribed Units shall have enacted, rendered, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any judgment, order, law, rule or regulation (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise restraining or prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby;

 

iii.all material conditions precedent to the Transaction Closing set forth in the Merger Agreement shall have been satisfied (as determined in good faith by the parties to the Merger Agreement) or waived by the parties thereto in accordance with the requirements of the Merger Agreement (other than those conditions which, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Transaction Closing); and

 

iv.no Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall have occurred between the date of the Merger Agreement and the Closing Date that is continuing.

ii.the Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to Closing;

iv.the Company shall have filed with Nasdaq Global Market an application for the listing of the Common Stock issued in the Offering and Nasdaq Global Market shall have raised no objection with respect thereto;

Section 5311 et seq.), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, 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 Subscribed Units were legally derived.

 

(n)Neither Subscriber, nor, to the extent it has them, any of its equity holders, managers, general or limited partners, directors, affiliates or executive officers (collectively with Subscriber, the “Covered Persons”), are subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3). Subscriber has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The acquisition of the Subscribed Units by Subscriber will not subject the Company to any Disqualification Event.

 

(o)No disclosure or offering document has been prepared by the Financial Advisor in connection with the offer and sale of the Subscribed Units. Subscriber agrees that the Financial Advisor and each of its respective members, directors, officers, employees, representatives and controlling persons have made no independent investigation with respect to the Company, the Target or the Subscribed Units or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of any information supplied to Subscriber by the Company. In connection with the issue and purchase of the Subscribed Units, the Financial Advisor have not acted as Subscriber’s financial advisor or fiduciary.

 

(p)Subscriber acknowledges its obligations under applicable securities laws with respect to the treatment of non-public information, as applicable, relating to the Company.

 

(q)Subscriber has, and on each date any portion of the Aggregate Purchase Price would be required to be funded to the Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement will have, sufficient immediately available funds to pay the Aggregate Purchase Price.

 

(r)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 Code, 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, Subscriber represents and warrants that (i) neither the Company, nor any of its respective affiliates has acted as the Plan’s fiduciary, or has been relied on for advice, with respect to its decision to acquire and hold the Subscribed Units, and none of the Company or any of its respective affiliates 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 Subscribed Units and (ii) the acquisition and holding of the Subscribed Units.

(s)Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that it will not, and will cause each person acting at Subscriber’s direction or pursuant to any understanding with Subscriber to not, directly or indirectly offer, sell, pledge, contract to sell or sell any option to purchase, or engage in hedging activities or execute any “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, in each case that result in Subscriber having a net short cash position in respect of the Units until the Closing (or such earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with its terms). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall prohibit Subscriber from (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 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, (1) 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 Offering or the Transaction (including Subscriber’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act and (2) 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 Units covered by this Subscription Agreement.

 

(t)Subscriber understands that the foregoing representations and warranties shall be deemed material to and have been relied upon by the Company.

 

6.Registration Rights; Indemnification.

 

(a)The Company agrees that, within fifteen (15) business days after the Closing, the Company will use reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of shares of Common Stock included in the Subscribed Units and the shares of Common Stock issued and issuable upon exercise of the Company Warrants (the “Registrable Securities”), which Registration Statement may register the resale of other shares of the Common Stock, including, without limitation, the Founder Shares, the Private Shares, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Warrants, and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective within 60 business days following the Closing. If the Registration Statement is not effective by the 60th business day following the Closing, the Company and Subscriber acknowledge and agree that Subscriber may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement covering the Registrable Securities, exercise the Company Warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption and as specified pursuant to the terms of the Company Warrants. The Company agrees that it will use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement or another registration statement (which may be a “shelf” registration statement) to remain effective until the earlier of (i) two years from the issuance of the Registrable Securities, (ii) the date on which Subscriber ceases to hold the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, or (iii) on the first date on which Subscriber can sell all of its Registrable Securities under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such equity interests that may be sold. Subscriber agrees to disclose its beneficial ownership, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, of the Registrable Securities to the Company (or its successor) upon request to assist the Company in making the determination described above. The Company’s obligations to include the Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding Subscriber, the Registrable Securities of the Company held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and 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. If the SEC prevents the Company from including any or all of the Registrable Securities proposed to be registered for resale under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Company’s Registrable Securities by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, (i) such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of the Company registrable securities which is equal to the maximum number of the Company registrable securities as is permitted by the SEC and (ii) the number of the Company registrable securities to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders. The Company will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to Subscriber for review reasonably in advance of filing the Registration Statement. In no event shall Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the SEC; provided, that if the SEC requests that Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, Subscriber will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement. “Registrable Securities” shall include the Registrable Securities acquired pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and any other equity security of the of the Company issued or issuable with respect to the Registrable Securities by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event or otherwise, but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any other equity security of the Company owned or acquired by Subscriber. For as long as Subscriber holds the Registrable Securities issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall (A) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, (B) file in a timely manner all reports and other documents with the SEC required under the Exchange Act, as long as the Company remains subject to such requirements, and (C) provide all customary and reasonable cooperation necessary, in each case, to enable Subscriber to resell the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 (when Rule 144 becomes available to Subscriber), as applicable.

 

 11 

 

 

(b)The Company shall, at its sole expense, advise Subscriber within five (5) business days: (i) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; (ii) after it shall have received notice or obtained knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities 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 Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein do not include any untrue statements of a material fact 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. Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in the foregoing clause (iv), except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities 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.

 

 12 

 

 

(c)The Company may delay filing or suspend the use of any such Registration Statement if it determines that in order for the Registration Statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, or if such filing or use could materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Company or would require premature disclosure of information that could materially adversely affect the Company (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, that the Company (i) may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than 2 occasions or for more than 75 consecutive calendar days, or more than 120 total calendar days, in each case during any 12 month period, and (ii) shall use reasonable best efforts to make such Registration Statement available for the sale by Subscriber of such Registrable Securities as soon as practicable thereafter. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that it will (i) immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until Subscriber receives (A) (x) copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and (y) notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or (B) notice from the Company that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by applicable law. If so directed by the Company, Subscriber will deliver to the Company or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities in Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities shall not apply to (i) 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) copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

 

(d)Until the earliest of (i) the first date on which the Subscriber can sell all of its Registrable Securities, under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such securities that may be sold and (ii) two years from the Closing Date, the Company covenants to maintain the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. At any time during the period commencing from the 12-month anniversary of the Closing and ending at such time that all of the Registrable Securities may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) (as defined below) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) and the Registrable Securities are not then registered for resale by the Subscriber under the Securities Act (a “Public Information Failure”) then, in addition to such Subscriber’s other available remedies and unless all of the Registrable Securities were registered the Company’s registration statement on Form S-4 to be declared effective by the SEC on the Closing Date, the Company shall pay to a Subscriber, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Registrable Securities, an amount in cash equal to one (1%) of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Subscriber’s Subscribed Units on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day (pro-rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) (“Monthly Liquidated Damage”) thereafter until the earlier of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required for the Subscriber to transfer the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144; provided that in no event shall the Monthly Liquidated Damage hereunder exceed one (1%) of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Subscriber’s Subscribed Units. The payments to which the Subscriber shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 6(d) are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred. In no event shall the Company be required hereunder to pay to such Subscriber an aggregate amount that exceeds 6.0% of the aggregate Purchase Price paid by such Subscriber for its Subscribed Units pursuant to this Subscription Agreement. The Company may suspend the use of any such registration statement if it determines that in order for the registration statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto 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, as amended; provided, that, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such registration statement available for the sale by the undersigned of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter.

 

 13 

 

 

(e)From and after the Closing, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold Subscriber, each person, if any, who controls Subscriber within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of Subscriber within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, and each broker, Financial Advisor or sales agent to or through which Subscriber effects or executes the resale of any Registrable Securities (collectively, the “Subscriber Indemnified Parties”), harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including any reasonable out-of-pocket legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by Subscriber Indemnified Parties directly that are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any other registration statement which covers the Registrable Securities (including, in each case, the prospectus contained therein) or any amendment thereof (including the prospectus contained therein) or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading, except to the extent insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by Subscriber expressly for use therein. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Company’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

 

(f)From and after the Closing, Subscriber agrees to, severally and not jointly with any other selling stockholders using the applicable registration statement, indemnify and hold the Company, and the officers, employees, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents of the Company, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”), harmless against any and all Losses incurred by Company Indemnified Parties directly that are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any other registration statement which covers the Registrable Securities (including, in each case, the prospectus contained therein) or any amendment thereof (including the prospectus contained therein) or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading, to the extent insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by Subscriber expressly for use therein. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Subscriber’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

7.Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of: (a) the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement; (b) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; (c) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 3 of this Subscription Agreement are not satisfied or waived on or prior to the Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated at the Closing; or (d) written notice by either party to the other party to terminate this Subscription Agreement if the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated on or prior to the Outside Date (as defined in, and including any extension made in compliance with the terms of, the Merger Agreement); provided that (i) nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach, and (ii) the provisions of Sections 8 through 10 of this Subscription Agreement will survive any termination of this Subscription Agreement and continue indefinitely. The Company shall notify Subscriber of the termination of the Merger Agreement promptly after the termination of the Merger Agreement. Upon the termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with this Section 7, any monies paid by Subscriber to the Company for the Aggregate Purchase Price hereunder shall be promptly returned to Subscriber.

 

8.Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber hereby represents and warrants that it has read the IPO Prospectus and understands that the Company has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its IPO and the overallotment securities acquired by its underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders (including overallotment securities acquired by the Company’s underwriters, the “Public Stockholders”), and that, except as otherwise described in the IPO Prospectus, the Company may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Stockholders in the event they elect to redeem their Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock in connection with the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination (as such term is used in the IPO Prospectus) (the “Business Combination”) or in connection with an extension of its deadline to consummate a Business Combination, (b) to the Public Stockholders if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 12 months after the closing of the IPO and as subject to extension by an amendment to the Company’s organizational documents, (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, amounts necessary to pay for any taxes and up to $100,000 in dissolution expenses, or (d) to the Company after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of the Company entering into this Subscription Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Subscriber hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its affiliates that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, neither Subscriber nor any of its affiliates do now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Subscription Agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively, the “Released Claims”). Subscriber on behalf of itself and its affiliates hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that Subscriber or any of its affiliates may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of this Subscription Agreement or any other agreement with the Company or its affiliates). Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Subscription Agreement and specifically relied upon by the Company and its affiliates to induce the Company to enter in this Subscription Agreement, and Subscriber further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against Subscriber and each of its affiliates under applicable law. To the extent Subscriber or any of its affiliates commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to the Company or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against the Company or its Representatives, Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber’s and its affiliates’ sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit Subscriber or its affiliates (or any person claiming on any of their behalf or in lieu of any of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. In the event Subscriber or any of its affiliates commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to the Company or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or the Public Stockholders, whether in the form of money damages or injunctive relief, the Company and its Representatives, as applicable, shall be entitled to recover from Subscriber and its affiliates the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such action in the event the Company or its Representatives, as applicable, prevails in such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8 shall not affect any rights of Subscriber or its affiliates to receive distributions from the Trust Account in their capacities as Public Stockholders upon the redemption of their shares or the liquidation of the Company if it does not consummate a Business Combination prior to its deadline to do so. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Representatives” with respect to any person shall mean such person’s affiliates and its and its affiliate’s respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, advisors, agents and other representatives. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Subscription Agreement, the provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Subscription Agreement and last indefinitely.

9.Miscellaneous.

 

(a)Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights or obligations that may accrue to Subscriber hereunder (other than the Subscribed Units acquired hereunder, if any, subject to applicable securities laws) may be transferred or assigned by Subscriber without the prior written consent of the Company, and any purported transfer or assignment without such consent shall be null and void ab initio.

 

(b)The Company may request from Subscriber such additional information as the Company may reasonably deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the Subscribed Units, and Subscriber shall provide such information to the Company promptly upon such request, it being understood by Subscriber that the Company may without any liability hereunder reject Subscriber’s subscription prior to the Closing Date in the event Subscriber fails to provide such additional information requested by the Company to evaluate Subscriber’s eligibility or the Company determines that Subscriber is not eligible. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company and Subscriber shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional actions as the parties reasonably may deem to be practical and necessary in order to consummate the subscription as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

 

(c)Subscriber acknowledges that the Company, the Financial Advisor and others will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement as if they were made directly to them. Prior to the Closing, Subscriber agrees to promptly notify the Company if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties set forth herein are no longer accurate such that the conditions set forth in Sections 3(b)(i) and 3(b)(ii) would not be satisfied as of the Closing. Subscriber agrees that the purchase by Subscriber of Subscribed Units from the Company will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein (as modified by any such notice) by Subscriber as of the time of such purchase. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Financial Advisor and Target are each a third-party beneficiary of the representations, warranties and covenants of Subscriber contained in Section 5 of this Subscription Agreement, entitled to enforce the terms hereof against Subscriber as if each were an original party hereto. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successor and assigns.

 

(d)The Company, Target and the Financial Advisor are entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and the respective representations and warranties contained herein and are irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby. Subscriber shall not issue any press release or make any other similar public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

 16 

 

 

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

 

(f)This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified, waived or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such modification, waiver, or termination is sought. No failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or other exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder.

 

(g)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 (other than any confidentiality agreement entered into by the Company and Subscriber in connection with the Offering).

 

(h)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.

 

(i)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. Upon such determination that any provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

 

(j)This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

(k)The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Subscription Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.

 

(l)Subscriber hereby acknowledges that the terms of this Subscription Agreement will be disclosed by the Company in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first (1st) business day immediately following the date of this Subscription Agreement (the time of such filing, “Disclosure Time”) and a form of this Subscription Agreement will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit thereto. From and after the Disclosure Time, the Company represents to the Subscriber that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to the Subscriber by the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement and the Merger Agreement. In addition, effective upon the Disclosure Time, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company or any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates on the one hand, and any of the Subscribers or any of their affiliates on the other hand, shall terminate. Subscriber will promptly provide any information reasonably requested by the Company for any regulatory application or filing made or approval sought in connection with the Transaction or the Closing (including filings with the SEC).

 

 17 

 

 

(m)This Subscription Agreement and all actions arising out of or in connection with this Subscription Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles relating to conflict of laws that would result in the applicable of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts seated in New York County, New York (and any appellate courts thereof) in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such courts, (b) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court, (c) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court, and (d) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each party agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each party irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such party at the applicable address set forth in Section 9(n).

Exhibit A

 

Accredited Investor Questionnaire

 

Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Exhibit A shall have the meanings given in the Subscription Agreement to which this Exhibit A is attached.

 

The undersigned represents and warrants that the undersigned is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D (an “Accredited Investor”) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for one or more of the reasons specified below (please check all boxes that apply):

 

________ (i) A natural person whose net worth, either individually or jointly with such person’s spouse or spousal equivalent, at the time of Subscriber’s purchase, exceeds $1,000,000;
     
  The term “net worth” means the excess of total assets over total liabilities (including personal and real property, but excluding the estimated fair market value of Subscriber’s primary home). For the purposes of calculating joint net worth with the person’s spouse or spousal equivalent, joint net worth can be the aggregate net worth of Subscriber and spouse or spousal equivalent; assets need not be held jointly to be included in the calculation. There is no requirement that securities be purchased jointly. A spousal equivalent means a cohabitant occupying a relationship generally equivalent to a spouse.
     
________ (ii) A natural person who had an individual income in excess of $200,000, or joint income with Subscriber’s spouse or spousal equivalent in excess of $300,000, in each of the two most recent years and reasonably expects to reach the same income level in the current year;
     
    In determining individual “income,” Subscriber should add to Subscriber’s individual taxable adjusted gross income (exclusive of any spousal or spousal equivalent income) any amounts attributable to tax exempt income received, losses claimed as a limited partner in any limited partnership, deductions claimed for depletion, contributions to an IRA or Keogh retirement plan, alimony payments, and any amount by which income from long-term capital gains has been reduced in arriving at adjusted gross income.
     
________ (iii) A director or executive officer of the Company;
     
________ (iv) A natural person holding in good standing with one or more professional certifications or designations or other credentials from an accredited educational institution that the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has designated as qualifying an individual for accredited investor status;
     
    The SEC has designated the General Securities Representative license (Series 7), the Private Securities Offering Representative license (Series 82) and the Licensed Investment Adviser Representative (Series 65) as the initial certifications that qualify for accredited investor status.
     
________ (v) A natural person who is a “knowledgeable employee” as defined in Rule 3c-5(a)(4) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), of the issuer of the securities being offered or sold where the issuer would be an investment company, as defined in Section 3 of the Investment Company Act, but for the exclusion provided by either Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act;
