Ladies and Gentlemen:
This Subscription Agreement (this Subscription Agreement) is being entered into as of the date set forth on the signature page hereto, by and among Oaktree Acquisition Corp. II, a Cayman Islands exempted company (SPAC), Alvotech Lux Holdings S.A.S, a simplified joint stock company (société par actions simplifiée) incorporated and existing under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, with registered office at 9, rue de Bitbourg, L-1273, Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and registered with the Luxembourg trade and companies register under number B258884 (TopCo), and the undersigned subscriber (the Investor), in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the Business Combination Agreement), by and among SPAC, Alvotech Holdings S.A., a public limited liability company (société anonyme) incorporated and existing under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, with registered office at 9, rue de Bitbourg, L-1273 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and registered with the Luxembourg trade and companies register under number B229193 (the Company), and TopCo, pursuant to which, among other things, (i) SPAC will merge with and into TopCo, with TopCo as the surviving company in the merger, on the terms and subject to the conditions therein (the First Merger), and (ii) the Redemption (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), the Change of Legal Form (as defined below) and the Second Merger (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement and together with the First Merger, the Redemption, the Change of Legal Form and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the Transaction) will occur. In connection with the Transaction, SPAC is seeking commitments from interested investors to subscribe for, contingent upon, and substantially concurrently with the closing of the Transaction, ordinary shares in the share capital of TopCo (the Shares), in a private placement for a purchase price of $10.00 per Share (the Per Share Purchase Price). On or about the date of this Subscription Agreement, SPAC and TopCo are entering into subscription agreements (the Other Subscription Agreements and, together with this Subscription Agreement, the Subscription Agreements), which are on substantially the same terms as the terms of this Subscription Agreement, with certain other qualified institutional buyers (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act)) or institutional accredited investors (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act) or non-US person (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) (each, an Other Investor and together with the Investor, the Investors), severally and not jointly, pursuant to which the Investors, severally and not jointly, have agreed to subscribe for or prior to the closing date of the Transaction, inclusive of the Shares subscribed for by the Investor, an aggregate amount of up to 15,400,000 Shares, at the Per Share Purchase Price.
The aggregate subscription price to be paid by the Investor for the subscribed Shares (as set forth on the signature page hereto) is referred to herein as the Subscription Amount.
Following the First Merger and the Redemption, in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, the legal form of TopCo shall be changed from a simplified joint stock company (société par actions simplifiée) to a public limited liability company (société anonyme) under Luxembourg law (the Change of Legal Form), and TopCo shall issue the Shares once it has changed into a public limited liability company (société anonyme) under Luxembourg law.
In connection therewith, and in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, each of the Investor, SPAC and TopCo acknowledges and agrees as follows:
Confidential
1. Subscription.
The Investor hereby agrees to subscribe for and purchase from TopCo, and TopCo hereby agrees, upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction and the payment of the Subscription Amount, to issue and sell to the undersigned the number of Shares from TopCo set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for herein. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that TopCo reserves the right to accept or reject the Investors subscription for the Shares for any reason or for no reason, in whole or in part, at any time prior to its acceptance, and the same shall be deemed to be accepted by TopCo only when this Subscription Agreement is signed by a duly authorized person by or on behalf of TopCo; TopCo may do so in counterpart form. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of the Change of Legal Form, the Shares that will be subscribed for by the Investor and issued by TopCo pursuant hereto shall be ordinary shares in the share capital of a public limited liability company (société anonyme) under Luxembourg law (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, ordinary shares in a simplified joint stock company (société par actions simplifiée) under Luxembourg law).
2. Closing.
The closing of the issuance of the Shares contemplated hereby (the Closing) is contingent upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 3 below. The Closing shall occur on the date of, and substantially concurrently with (in the manner described in the Business Combination Agreement) and conditioned upon the effectiveness of, the Transaction. Subject to delivery of written notice from (or on behalf of) TopCo to the Investor (the Closing Notice) that TopCo reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transaction to be satisfied or waived on a date that is not less than five (5) business days from the date on which the Closing Notice is delivered to the Investor and specifying the date on which the Closing is expected to occur (the Closing Date), the Investor shall deliver (or provide for such delivery to the Company), three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, (x) the Subscription Amount by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to an account specified by TopCo in the Closing Notice and (y) to TopCo, any other information that is reasonably requested in the Closing Notice in order for TopCo to issue the Investors Shares, including, without limitation, the legal name of the person in whose name such Shares are to be issued and a duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or the applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8, as applicable. Upon the Closing, Topco and the Investor agree that TopCo shall (a) issue the number of Shares set forth on the signature page to this Subscription Agreement and subsequently cause such Shares to be registered in book entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions (other than those arising under this Subscription Agreement or applicable securities laws) in the name of the Investor (or its nominee or assignee) on TopCos share register and (b) provide evidence from its transfer agent of the issuance of such Shares to the Investor in book entry form within two (2) business days of the Closing Date; provided, however, that TopCos obligation to issue the Shares to the Investor is contingent upon TopCos having received the Subscription Amount in full prior to the Closing date in accordance with this Section 2. If the Closing does not occur within three (3) business days following the Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, TopCo shall promptly (but not later than two (2) business days thereafter) return or cause the return of the Subscription Amount in full to the Investor, and any book entries shall be deemed cancelled.

adverse to, the Investors interests. The Investor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have based on any actual or potential conflict of interest or similar claim, whether known or unknown, contingent or otherwise and wherever and whenever arising in connection with, relating to or arising from Morgan Stanley or Credit Suisse acting as financial advisors to the Company.

7. Registration Rights.
a. TopCo agrees that, as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than thirty (30) calendar days, after the Closing Date (the Filing Deadline), it will file with the SEC (at its sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Shares (the Registration Statement), and it 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) sixty (60) calendar days after the filing thereof (or ninety (90) calendar days after the filing thereof if the SEC notifies TopCo that it will review the Registration Statement) and (ii) ten (10) business days after TopCo is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review (such date, the Effectiveness Date). In connection with the foregoing, the Investor shall not be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Shares. TopCo shall provide a draft of the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto to the Investor for review at least two (2) business days in advance of the filing of the Registration Statement or such amendment, as the case may be. TopCo shall notify the Investor of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and of any post-effective amendment thereto in accordance with Section 7(b) below. TopCo shall file with the SEC a final form of prospectus pursuant to Rule 424 (or successor thereto) under the Securities Act no later than the second business day after the Effectiveness Date. The Registration Statement shall include a plan of distribution that permits all lawful means of disposition of the Shares by the Investor, including block sales, agented transactions, sales directly into the market and other customary provisions (but, excluding for the avoidance of doubt, underwritten offerings). At its expense, TopCo agrees to cause such Registration Statement, or another shelf registration statement that includes the Shares to be subscribed for pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, except for such times as TopCo is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which TopCo determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to the Investor, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, to remain effective until the earliest of (i) the third anniversary of the Closing, (ii) the date on which the Investor ceases to hold any Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, or (iii) on the first date on which the Investor is able to sell all of its Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 without the public information, volume or manner of sale limitations of such rule (such date, the End Date). Prior to the End Date, TopCo will use commercially reasonable efforts to qualify the Shares for listing on any relevant stock exchange. The Investor agrees to disclose its ownership to TopCo upon request to assist it in making the determination with respect to Rule 144 described in clause (iii) above. TopCo may amend the Registration Statement so as to convert the Registration Statement to a Registration Statement on Form F-3 or S-3 at such time after TopCo becomes eligible to use such Form F-3 or S-3. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that TopCo may suspend the use of any such registration statement if it determines that in order for such registration statement not to 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, or if such suspension arises out of, or is a result of, or is related to or is in connection with the Statement or related accounting, disclosure or other matters, provided, that, (I) TopCo shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of the Registration Statement for a period of more than sixty (60) consecutive days or more than a total of one hundred-twenty (120) calendar days in any three hundred sixty (360) day period and (II) TopCo shall
11
Confidential
use commercially reasonable efforts to make such Registration Statement available for the sale by the Investor of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter. TopCos obligations to include the Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares issued in exchange therefor) for resale in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Investor furnishing in writing to TopCo such information regarding the Investor, the securities of TopCo held by the Investor and the intended method of disposition of such Shares, which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings, as shall be reasonably requested by TopCo to effect the registration of such Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as TopCo may reasonably request that are customary of a selling shareholder in similar situations. Any failure by TopCo to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Deadline shall not otherwise relieve TopCo of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 7.
b. At its expense, TopCo shall:
i. advise the Investor, as expeditiously as possible, but in any event within five (5) business days: (A) when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; (B) 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; (C) of the receipt by TopCo of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (D) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, TopCo shall not, when so advising the Investor of such events provide the Investor with any material, nonpublic information regarding TopCo other than to the extent that providing notice to the Investor of the occurrence of the events listed in (A) through (D) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding TopCo;
ii. use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;
iii. upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 8(b)(i)(D) above, except for such times as TopCo is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, TopCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
iv. use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the ordinary shares of TopCo are listed;
v. use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the resale of the Shares contemplated hereby and to enable the Investor to sell the Shares under Rule 144; and
vi. otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Investor, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in connection with the registration of the resale of the Shares.
c. TopCo shall not hereafter enter into, and is not currently a party to, any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent in any material respect with, or superior to, the registration rights granted to the Investor by this Subscription Agreement, other than the Investor Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, by and between TopCo, the Company, Oaktree Acquisition Holdings II, L.P. and the other parties thereto. Notwithstanding any other rights and remedies the Investor may have in respect of TopCo pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, if TopCo enters into any other registration rights or similar agreement with respect to any of its securities that contains
12
Confidential
provisions that violate the preceding sentence, the terms and conditions of this Subscription Agreement shall immediately be deemed to have been amended without further action by TopCo or the Investor so that the Investor shall be entitled to the benefit of any such more favorable or less restrictive terms or conditions, as the case may be.
8. Indemnification.
a. TopCo agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, the Investor, its directors, officers, partners, managers, members, investment advisors, employees, agents and each person who controls the Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act), against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys fees of one law firm and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement (Prospectus) or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or 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 a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to TopCo by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein or such Investor 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; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 8.a shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out of pocket expenses if such settlement is effected without the consent of TopCo (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall TopCo be liable for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out of pocket expenses 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 the Investor expressly for use in the Prospectus, (B) in connection with any failure of the Investor to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made available by TopCo in a timely manner, (C) as a result of offers or sales effected by or on behalf of the Investor by means of a free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that was not authorized in writing by TopCo, or (D) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of the Investor in violation of Section 7 hereof.
b. In connection with any Registration Statement in which the Investor is participating, the Investor shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to TopCo in writing such information and affidavits as TopCo reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify TopCo, its directors, officers, agents, employees and each person or entity who controls TopCo (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys fees of one law firm) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or 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 a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the liability of the Investor shall be several and not joint with any other investor and shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds actually received by the Investor from the sale of Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
c. Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (A) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any persons or entitys right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (B) unless in such indemnified partys reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and
13
Confidential
any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
d. The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.
e. If the indemnification provided under this Section 8 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that the total liability of the Investor in this Section 8 shall be limited to the net proceeds actually received by such Investor from the sale of Shares giving rise to such indemnification and/or contribution obligation. 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 not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying partys and indemnified partys 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 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 8.e from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
9. 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, (x) upon the earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Business Combination Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms without being consummated, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto and the Company to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) SPACs and TopCos notification to the Investor in writing that they have, with the prior written consent of the Company, abandoned their plans to move forward with the Transaction and/or terminated the Investors obligations with respect to the subscription without the issuance of the Shares having occurred, and (d) the delivery of a notice of termination of this Subscription Agreement by the Investor to SPAC and TopCo following the date that is 30 days after the Termination Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement as in effect on the date hereof), if the Closing has not occurred by such date (provided, that the right to terminate this Subscription Agreement pursuant to this clause (d) shall not be available to the Investor if the Investors or its assignees breach of any of its covenants or obligations under this Subscription Agreement (or if an affiliate of the Investor is one of the Investors under an Other Subscription Agreement, such other Investors breach of any of its covenants or obligations under the Other Subscription Agreement) either individually or in the aggregate, shall have proximately caused the failure of the consummation of the Transaction on or before the such date), or (y) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 3 of this Subscription Agreement are (i) not satisfied or waived on or prior to the closing of the Transaction or (ii) not capable of being satisfied on or prior to the closing of the Transaction and, in each case of (i) and (ii), as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement will not be and are not consummated at the closing of the Transaction (the termination events described in clauses (x) and (y) above, collectively, the Termination Events); provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful breach. SPAC shall notify the Investor in writing of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement. Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event, this Subscription Agreement shall be void and of no further effect and any monies paid by the Investor to TopCo in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) business day) following the Termination Event be returned to the Investor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing herein shall prohibit any entities under common management with the Investor that have no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of the Investors participation in the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Investors controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any short sales; (ii) in the case of an Investor that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Investors assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Investors assets, this Section 11.e shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to subscribe for the Shares covered by this Subscription Agreement.
f. All of the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.
g. This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified, waived or terminated (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 9 above) except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto, provided, however, that no modification or waiver by SPAC or TopCo of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Company (other than modifications or waivers that are solely ministerial in nature or otherwise immaterial and do not affect any economic or any other material term of this Subscription Agreement). No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.
h. This Subscription Agreement (including the schedule hereto) 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 set forth in Section 9, Section 11.c, Section 11.d, Section 11.g, this Section 11.h, the last sentence of Section 11.l and Section 12 with respect to the persons specifically referenced therein, and Section 6 with respect to the Placement Agents, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns, and the parties hereto acknowledge that such persons so referenced are third party beneficiaries of this Subscription Agreement with right of enforcement for the purposes of, and to the extent of, the rights granted to them, if any, pursuant to the applicable provisions; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Subscription Agreement, the Company is an intended third party beneficiary of each of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement.

i. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.
j. If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to 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 such provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
k. 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. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
l. The parties hereto acknowledge and 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 seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Subscription Agreement in any court of competent jurisdiction, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages, 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. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Company shall be entitled to specifically enforce the Investors obligations to fund the Subscription Amount and the provisions of the Subscription Agreement of which the Company is an express third party beneficiary, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
m. If any change in the number, type or classes of authorized shares of TopCo (including the Shares), other than as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or any agreement contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, shall occur between the date hereof and immediately prior to the Closing by reason of reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend, the number of Shares issued to the Investor shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.
n. This Subscription Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof) as to all matters (including any action, suit, litigation, arbitration, mediation, claim, charge, complaint, inquiry, proceeding, hearing, audit, investigation or reviews by or before any governmental entity related hereto), including matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies.
o. Each party hereto hereby, and any person asserting rights as a third party beneficiary may do so only if he, she or it, irrevocably agrees that any action, suit or proceeding between or among the parties hereto, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, arising in connection with any disagreement, dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement or any related document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (Legal Dispute) shall be brought only to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York or the federal courts located in the State of New York, and each party hereto hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding that is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. During the period a Legal Dispute that is filed in accordance with this Section 11.o is pending before a court, all actions, suits or proceedings with respect to such Legal Dispute or any other Legal Dispute, including any counterclaim, cross-claim or interpleader, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court. Each party hereto and any person asserting rights as a third party beneficiary may do so only if he, she or it hereby waives, and shall not assert as a defense in any Legal Dispute,
17
Confidential
that (a) such party is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason, (b) such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in such court, (c) such partys property is exempt or immune from execution, (d) such action, suit or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, or (e) the venue of such action, suit or proceeding is improper. A final judgment in any action, suit or proceeding described in this Section 11.o following the expiration of any period permitted for appeal and subject to any stay during appeal shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable laws. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY MAY DO SO ONLY IF HE, SHE OR IT IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS ASSERTED IN ANY LEGAL DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM RELATING THERETO. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY HERETO NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NONCOMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY HERETO NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

(i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
19
Confidential
(ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of TopCo under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Issuer remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144 to enable the Investor to sell the Shares under Rule 144 for so long as the Investor holds any Shares; and
(iii) furnish to the Investor, promptly upon the Investors reasonable request, (i) a written statement by TopCo, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act, and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual report of TopCo and such other reports and documents so filed by TopCo (provided that if such reports and documents are publicly filed with the SEC on Edgar, TopCo need not furnish such reports and documents to the Investor separately) and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.
b. TopCo will use its commercially reasonable efforts to (A) at the reasonable request of Investor, deliver all the necessary documentation to cause TopCos transfer agent to remove all restrictive legends from any Shares being sold under the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 at the time of sale of the Shares, or that may be sold by Investor without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions, and (B) cause its legal counsel to deliver to the transfer agent the necessary legal opinions required by the transfer agent, if any, in connection with the instruction under clause (A) upon the receipt of Investor representation letters and such other customary supporting documentation as requested by (and in a form reasonably acceptable to) such counsel, in each case within 5 business days of such request.
