SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

 

SCVX Corp.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

In connection with the proposed business combination (the “Transaction”) pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof (as may be further amended, modified, or otherwise supplemented from time to time), by and among SCVX Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (which shall domesticate as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”) no later than the day prior to the date of the Transaction Closing (as defined below)) (the “Company”), Bright Machines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Bright Machines”) and Bloom Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation, the undersigned (the “Subscriber” or the “undersigned”) desires to subscribe for and purchase from the Company, and the Company desires to sell to the undersigned, following the Domestication and prior to the closing of the Transaction, that number of the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value of $0.0001 per share (the “Common Shares”) set forth on the signature page hereto for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Per Share Price,” and the aggregate of such Per Share Price for all Shares (as defined below) subscribed for by the undersigned being referred to herein as the “Purchase Price”), on the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein. In connection with the Transaction, certain other “accredited investors” (as defined in rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) have (severally and not jointly) entered into separate subscription agreements with the Company substantially similar to this Subscription Agreement (the “Other Subscription Agreements”), pursuant to which such investors have, together with the undersigned pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, agreed to purchase an aggregate of 20,500,000 Common Shares at the Per Share Price (each such other investor an “Other Subscriber”, and, together, the “Other Subscribers”). In connection therewith, the undersigned and the Company agree as follows:

 

1. Subscription.

 

a. The undersigned hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company hereby irrevocably agrees to sell and issue to Subscriber, that number of Common Shares as is set forth on its signature page of this Subscription Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for herein (the “Shares”). The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of Company’s domestication as a Delaware corporation prior to the Transaction Closing, the Shares that will be issued pursuant hereto shall be shares of common stock in a Delaware corporation (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, ordinary shares in a Cayman Islands exempted company).

 

 

 

The below is included for one investor:

 

b. [Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that the undersigned’s subscription of the Shares would result in the undersigned and its Attribution Parties (as defined in Schedule C) beneficially owning in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of Common Shares outstanding (which for purposes of making such determination at the Subscription Closing shall give effect to the Transaction and the Other Subscription Agreements) (such number of Shares that would cause the undersigned and its Attribution Parties to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the “Excess Shares”), then the Company shall hold the Excess Shares in abeyance for the benefit of the undersigned until such time or times as its receipt of such Excess Shares would not result in the undersigned and its Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the undersigned shall notify the Company that it may receive all or any portion of the Excess Shares. The Company shall continue to hold such Excess Shares in abeyance for the benefit of the undersigned until the undersigned has received all Excess Shares hereunder. For purposes of this Section 1(b), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the undersigned may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company. For purposes of clarity, until the undersigned receives Excess Shares from the Company, it shall not have the power to vote any Excess Shares or dispose of such Excess Shares and accordingly, the Excess Shares shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act.

 

c. Prior to the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction (as defined in Schedule C) pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive securities, cash, assets or other property with respect to or in exchange for Common Shares (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that, and any applicable Successor Entity or Successor Entities (as defined in Schedule C) shall ensure that, and it shall be a required condition to the occurrence or consummation of such Corporate Event that, the undersigned will thereafter have the right to receive at any time after the occurrence or consummation of such Corporate Event, Common Shares or shares of capital stock of the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities or, if so elected by the undersigned, in lieu of the Excess Shares prior to such Corporate Event, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights and any Common Shares) which the undersigned would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence or consummation of such Corporate Event or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Corporate Event, had the undersigned been the holder of the Excess Shares prior to such Corporate Event or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Corporate Event. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the undersigned. The provisions of this Section 1 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events.

 

d. If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options (as defined in Schedule C), Convertible Securities (as defined in Schedule C) or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the undersigned will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the undersigned would have been entitled to had the undersigned been a holder of the Excess Shares before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that to the extent that the undersigned’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the undersigned and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the undersigned shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such Common Shares as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the undersigned until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the undersigned and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the undersigned shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

 

2

 

 

e. If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property, options, evidence of indebtedness or any other assets by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the Transaction Closing Date (as defined below), then, in each such case, the undersigned shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the undersigned would have participated therein if the undersigned had been a holder of the Excess Shares immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that to the extent that the undersigned’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the undersigned and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the undersigned shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such Common Shares as a result of such Distribution (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the undersigned until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the undersigned and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the undersigned shall be granted such Distribution (and any Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

 

f. For the avoidance of doubt, any reference to “Common Shares” and “Shares” shall after any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Shares, include such shares as a result of such reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Shares.]

 

2. Closing. The closing of the sale of the Shares contemplated hereby (the “Subscription Closing”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction (the “Transaction Closing”). The Subscription Closing shall occur on the date of, and immediately prior to, the consummation of the Transaction (the “Transaction Closing Date”). Not less than five (5) business days prior to the scheduled Transaction Closing Date, the Company shall provide written notice to the undersigned (the “Closing Notice”) (i) of such scheduled Transaction Closing Date, (ii) that the Company reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transaction to be satisfied or waived, and (iii) wire instructions for delivery of the Purchase Price to the Company. The undersigned shall deliver to the Company, at least two (2) business days prior to the Transaction Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, the Purchase Price by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company in the Closing Notice, such funds to be held by the Company in escrow until the Subscription Closing. At or prior to the Subscription Closing, the undersigned shall deliver to the Company a duly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or appropriate Form W-8. On the Transaction Closing Date, upon satisfaction (or, if applicable, written waiver) of the conditions set forth in this Section 2, the Company or its transfer agent shall deliver to the undersigned (A) the Shares (other than the Excess Shares which shall be delivered in the manner set forth herein once permitted under Section 1(b) above) in book-entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those arising under state or federal securities laws), in the name of the undersigned (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) or to a custodian designated by the undersigned, as applicable, and (B) a copy of the records of the Company’s transfer agent showing the undersigned (or such nominee or custodian) as the owner of the Shares on and as of the Transaction Closing Date; provided that, (x) if such book entry is made prior to the Company’s receipt of the Purchase Price from the undersigned and (y) such Purchase Price is not received by the Company on the Transaction Closing Date, then, without limiting any rights of any party under this Subscription Agreement, the Company may, without any action of the undersigned, cause such book entries to be automatically cancelled, void, and of no further force and effect.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8 hereof, if this Subscription Agreement terminates, the Company shall promptly (but not later than two (2) business days thereafter) return the Purchase Price (if delivered) without any deduction for or on account of any tax, withholding, charges, costs, fees, expenses, or set-off to the undersigned, by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the undersigned, and any book-entries for the Shares will be deemed repurchased and cancelled.

m. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, liquidation, administration or winding up or failed to pay its debts when due, nor does the Company or any subsidiary have any knowledge or reason to believe that any of their respective creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or seek to commence an administration.

e. Either (i) the undersigned is not a Benefit Plan Investor, as contemplated by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or (ii) the undersigned’s acquisition and holding of the Shares will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any applicable similar law.

However, neither any such inquiries, nor any due diligence investigation conducted by the undersigned or any of the undersigned’s professional advisors nor anything else contained herein, shall modify, limit, or otherwise affect the undersigned’s right to rely on the Company’s representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements contained in this Subscription Agreement. The undersigned further acknowledges that the information provided to the undersigned is preliminary and subject to change, that the Company is under no obligation to inform the undersigned regarding any such changes (except to the extent such changes would reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the Company to satisfy a condition to the undersigned’s obligations at the Subscription Closing set forth herein), and that any changes to such information, including, without limitation, any changes based on updated information or changes in terms of the Transaction, shall in no way affect the undersigned’s obligation to purchase the Shares hereunder, except, in each case, to the extent otherwise expressly set forth herein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case the Subscriber is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Subscriber’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Subscription Agreement.

 

u.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) 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, this Section 6(u) shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Subscription Agreement and (b) this Section 6(u) shall not apply to any sale (including the exercise of any redemption right) of securities of the Company (i) held by the Subscriber, its controlled affiliates and/or affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates and/or affiliates prior to the execution of this Subscription Agreement or (ii) purchased by the Subscriber, its affiliates, or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates and/or affiliates in open market transactions after the execution of this Subscription Agreement.

7. Registration Rights.

 

a. In the event that the Shares are not registered in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, the Company agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days after the consummation of the Transaction (the “Filing Deadline”), the Company will file with the Commission (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the Shares, and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) 30th calendar day (or 90th calendar day, if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Filing Deadline or (ii) the 5th business day after the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review (such date, the “Effectiveness Date”); provided, however, that the Company’s obligations to include the Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the undersigned furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the undersigned, the securities of the Company held by the undersigned, and the intended method of disposition of the Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the resale of the Shares, and the undersigned shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that the Company shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement in accordance with Section 7.b, provided that in connection therewith the Subscriber shall not be required to execute any lockup or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Shares. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the continuous effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or another shelf registration statement that includes the Shares to be sold pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, until the earliest of (i) the date on which the Shares may be resold without volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), (ii) the date on which the undersigned cease to hold any Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and (iii) the first such date after the second (2nd) anniversary of the Effectiveness Date of the Registration Statement registering all, but not less than all, Shares for resale on behalf of the undersigned on which the undersigned is not an affiliate (as defined in Rule 144) of the Company; provided, however, that for each day that the Registration Statement is suspended pursuant to a Suspension Event (as defined below), such period shall be extended by a day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Company from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 under the Securities Act for the resale of the Common Shares by the selling shareholders named therein or otherwise, the Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Common Shares that is equal to the maximum number of shares as is permitted to be registered by the Commission. In such event, the number of Common Shares to be registered for each selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders and, as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional Common Shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement to register such additional Shares thereunder and cause such amendment or Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Company to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement set forth in this Section 7. Upon notification by the Commission that any Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission, within two (2) business days thereafter, the Company shall file the final prospectus under Rule 424 of the Securities Act. The Company shall provide a draft of the Registration Statement to Subscriber for review at least two (2) business days in advance of filing of the Registration Statement, and the undersigned shall provide any comments on the Registration Statement to the Company no later than the day immediately preceding the filing of the Registration Statement. In no event shall the undersigned be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement; provided, that if the Commission requires that the undersigned be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the undersigned will have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, to either (i) have the opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement upon its prompt written request to the Company, in which case the Company’s obligation to register the Shares will be deemed satisfied or (ii) be included as such in the Registration Statement.

 

18

 

 

b. In the case of the registration, qualification, exemption or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration, qualification, exemption and compliance. The Company shall, at its expense:

 

i.advise the Subscriber as promptly as practicable: (A) when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; (B) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information; (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; (D) of the receipt by the Company 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 (E) subject to the applicable provisions of this Section 7, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company shall not, when so advising Subscriber of such events, subject Subscriber to any duty of confidentiality or provide Subscriber with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company other than to the extent that providing notice to Subscriber of the occurrence of the events listed in (A) through (D) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Company;

 

19

 

 

ii.use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement as promptly as reasonably practicable and to enable the undersigned to sell the Shares under the Registration Statement;

 

iii.upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 7(b)(i), 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 promptly 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.for so long as the Subscriber holds Shares, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Shares have been listed;

 

v.use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Shares contemplated hereby; and

 

vi.for so long as the Subscriber holds Shares, (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 Commission 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 the undersigned to resell the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 of the Securities Act to enable Subscriber to sell the Shares under Rule 144 once available.

 

c. The undersigned may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company requesting that the undersigned not receive notices from the Company otherwise required by this Section 7; provided, however, that the undersigned may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from the undersigned (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Company shall not deliver any such notices to the undersigned and the undersigned shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to the undersigned’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, the undersigned will notify the Company in writing at least two business days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 7(d)) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Company will so notify the undersigned, within one business day of the undersigned’s notification to the Company, by delivering to the undersigned a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide the undersigned with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event immediately upon its availability (which notices shall not contain any material, nonpublic information or subject the undersigned to any duty of confidentiality).

 

20

 

 

d. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event, the Company’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of outside legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Company in the Registration Statement of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Company’s board of directors, upon the advice of outside legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that during any twelve-month period the Company may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than forty five (45) consecutive calendar days on each occasion. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any Suspension Event (which notice shall not contain material non-public information and which shall not subject the undersigned to any duty of confidentiality) 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 promptly discontinue offers and sales of the Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice (which notice shall not contain material non-public information and which shall not subject the undersigned to any duty of confidentiality) that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended Shares to a transferee of the Subscriber in connection with any sale of Shares with respect to which the Subscriber has entered into a contract for sale, prior to Subscriber’s receipt of the notice of a Suspension Event and which has not yet settled. If so directed by the Company, each Subscriber will deliver to the Company or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares in Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares shall not apply (x) to the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (A) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory, or professional requirements or (B) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (y) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

e. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Subscription Agreement, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Subscriber (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), the officers, directors, advisors, investment advisers, brokers, trustees, partners, members, managers, stockholders, affiliates, employees, investment advisors and agents of each of them, and each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, advisors, brokers, trustees, partners, members, managers, stockholders, affiliates, employees, investment advisors, and agents of each such controlling person to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees), and reasonable and documented expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in any Registration Statement or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, Exchange Act, or any other state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 7, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions, or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding such Subscriber furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of Subscriber expressly for use therein or Subscriber has omitted a material fact from such information or otherwise violated the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder in connection with any sales under the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable for any Losses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon a violation which occurs (A) in connection with any failure of such person to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made available by the Company in a timely manner to the extent required under Rule 172 promulgated under the Securities Act, (B) as a result of offers or sales effected by or on behalf of any person by means of a freewriting prospectus (as defined in Rule 405) that was not authorized in writing by the Company, or (C) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of Subscriber in violation of Section 7.b hereof; The Company shall, to the extent reasonably practicable and legally permissible as determined upon advice of Company’s counsel, notify Subscriber in writing promptly of the institution, threat, or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 7 of which the Company is aware. Subscriber shall permit the Company to assume the defense of any such proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 7; provided, that the Subscriber may participate in such defense at its expense. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Shares by Subscriber.

f. Each Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly with any Other Subscriber or other person that is a party to any Other Subscription Agreements, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents, advisors and employees, and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or are based upon any untrue or good faith alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement in which the Subscriber is participating, any prospectus included in such Registration Statement or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or good faith alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed); and provided further that the Company may not, without the consent of Subscriber, 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 Company or pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of Subscriber or which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to Subscriber of a release from all liability in respect of the claim or litigation. In no event shall the liability of Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Subscriber shall, to the extent reasonably practicable and legally permissible as determined upon the advice of Subscriber’s counsel, notify the Company promptly of the institution, threat, or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 7 of which Subscriber is aware. The Company shall permit Subscriber to assume the defense of any such proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 7; provided, that the Company may participate in such defense at its expense. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Shares by Subscriber.

 

g. If the indemnification provided under this Section 7.c. from the Company or Section 7.d. from the Subscriber (each of the Company and the Subscriber in such capacities referred to herein as the “Indemnifying Party”) is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Subscriber under Section 7.c. or the Company under Section 7.d. (each of the Subscriber and the Company in such capacities referred to herein as the “Indemnified Party”) in respect of any Losses referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying the Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that the liability of the Subscriber shall be limited to the net proceeds received by Subscriber from the sale of Shares giving rise to such indemnification 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 Party’s and Indemnified Party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 7.c. and 7.d. above, as applicable, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 7.e. from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Each Indemnifying Party’s obligation to make a contribution pursuant to this Section 7(g) shall be individual, not joint and several.

 

23

 

 

h. Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) 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 person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the Indemnifying Party) and (ii) 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 elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one (1) 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 any other of such Indemnified Parties with respect to such claim.

 

i. If the Shares acquired hereunder are at any time either eligible to be sold (i) pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or (ii) without volume or manner of sale limitations under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, then, at the Subscriber’s request, the Company will take such actions necessary, in cooperation with the Company’s transfer agent (including, if required by the Company’s transfer agent, delivering an opinion of the Company’s counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent), to remove any restrictive legend set forth on such Shares so that Subscriber can move the Shares to its prime brokerage accounts without restriction. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer Agent, its legal counsel and all DTC fees associated with such legend removal. In addition, if the Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or Rule 144, then upon the written request of Subscriber (and no later than two (2) business days following such request), the Company shall instruct the Company’s transfer agent to remove the legend from such Shares (in whatever form).

 

j. For purposes of this Section 7, (i) “Subscriber” or “undersigned” shall include any person to whom the rights under this Section 7 shall have been duly assigned and (ii) “Shares” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the Shares acquired by the undersigned pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and any other equity security issued or issuable with respect to such Shares by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event.

 

24

 

 

8. 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 earliest to occur of (a) the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with its terms, (b) the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto and Bright Machines to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) if any of the conditions to the Subscription Closing set forth in Section 3 of this Subscription Agreement are not satisfied or waived on or prior to the Subscription Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated at the Subscription Closing; or (d) if the consummation of the Transaction shall not have occurred by January 14, 2022; 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 such breach. The Company shall promptly notify the undersigned of the termination of the Merger Agreement after the termination of such agreement, and any monies paid by the Subscriber to the Company in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) business days) be returned following such termination.

 

9. Trust Account Waiver. The undersigned acknowledges that the Company is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization, or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses or assets. The undersigned further acknowledges that, as described in the Company’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated January 23, 2020 available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of the Company’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of the Company’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of the Company, its public stockholders, and the underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering. For and in consideration of the Company entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title, and interest, or any claim of any kind it has or may have in the future in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account, in each case, as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement. Nothing in this Section 9 shall be deemed to limit or prohibit (i) the Subscriber’s right to pursue a claim against the Company for legal relief against assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief, (ii) any claims that the Subscriber may have in the future against the Company’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds) or (iii) the Subscriber’s right, title, interest or claim to any monies held in the Trust Account by virtue of its record or beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares or Common Shares acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, pursuant to the redemption rights with respect to any such Ordinary Shares or Common Shares, except to the extent that the Subscriber has otherwise agreed in writing with the Company to not exercise such redemption rights.

b. The Company shall, no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first (1st) business day immediately following the date of this Subscription Agreement (the “Disclosure Time”), issue one or more press releases or file with the Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K (collectively, the “Disclosure Document”) disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Other Subscription Agreements, the Transaction, and any other material, nonpublic information that the Company or any of its officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents (including the Placement Agent) has provided to Subscriber at any time prior to the filing of the Disclosure Document. From and after the issuance of the Disclosure Document, the undersigned shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information received from the Company or any of its officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent and from the earlier of (i) the Disclosure Time and (ii) the issuance of the Disclosure Document, the Subscriber shall no longer be subject to any confidentiality or similar obligations under any current agreement, whether written or oral, with the Company, any of its officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, or any of their respective affiliates. Except with the express prior written consent of the Subscriber and unless prior thereto the Subscriber and the Company shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information, the Company shall not, and shall cause its officers, directors, employees, affiliates and agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, not to, provide Subscriber with any material, non-public information regarding the Company or the Transaction from and after the filing of the Disclosure Document. The Company understands and confirms that the Subscriber and its affiliates will rely on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, it will not publicly make reference to such other party or any of its affiliates in connection with the Transaction or this Subscription Agreement, (i) in any promotional materials, media, or similar circumstances, or (ii) in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or trading market (including pursuant to Section 13 and/or Section 16 of the Exchange Act), except, in the case of clause (ii), as required by law or regulation or at the request of the Staff of the Commission or regulatory agency or under the regulations of NYSE or Nasdaq (as applicable), including, in the case of the Company (A) as required by the federal securities law in connection with the Registration Statement, (B) the filing of this Subscription Agreement (or a form of this Subscription Agreement) with the Commission, and (C) the filing of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 and Schedule 14A and related materials to be filed by the Company with respect to the Transaction.

 

c. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the undersigned hereunder (other than the Shares acquired hereunder, if any, and the rights set forth in Section 7) may be transferred or assigned without the prior written consent of the other party hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscriber may assign its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to one or more funds or accounts managed by the investment manager or investment advisor that manages Subscriber (or an affiliate that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such investment manager or investment advisor) or, with the Company’s prior written consent, to another person, provided, in each case, that any assignee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms hereof as if it were an original party hereto and that no such assignment shall relieve Subscriber of its obligations hereunder if any such assignee fails to perform such obligations.

 

d. The Company may request from the undersigned such additional information as the Company may deem reasonably necessary to evaluate the eligibility of the undersigned to acquire the Shares, and the undersigned shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested, to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with its internal policies and procedures, provided, that the Company agrees to keep any such information confidential except (i) as required by the federal securities law or pursuant to other routine proceedings of regulatory authorities or (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law, at the request of the staff of the Commission or regulatory agency or under the regulations of any national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed for trading.

 

27

 

 

e. The undersigned acknowledges that (i) the Company will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties of the undersigned contained in this Subscription Agreement and (ii) the Placement Agent will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties of the undersigned contained in Section 6 and Section 11 of this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Subscription Closing, the undersigned agrees to promptly notify the Company if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties made by it set forth herein are no longer accurate in all material respects. The undersigned agrees that the purchase by the undersigned of Shares from the Company will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties herein (as modified by any such notice) by the undersigned as of the time of such purchase. The Company acknowledges that the undersigned will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties of the Company contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Subscription Closing, the Company agrees to promptly notify the undersigned if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties set forth herein are no longer accurate in all material respects. The Company agrees that the issuance and sale by the Company of Shares to the undersigned will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties herein (as modified by any such notice) by the Company as of the time of such issuance and sale. The undersigned further acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agent and Bright Machines are third-party beneficiaries of the terms and conditions set forth in this Subscription Agreement.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

i. This Subscription Agreement may not be modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such modification or waiver is sought, provided, however, that no modification or waiver by the Company of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall be effective without the prior written consent of Bright Machines (other than modification 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, provided that the Company provides Bright Machines with prior written notice thereof).

 

28

 

 

j. This Subscription Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties hereto, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 7(e), Section 7(f), Section 10(e), Section 10(i) and Section 11, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person, other than the parties hereto and their respective successor and assigns.

 

k. 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.

 

l. If any term or other provision of this Subscription Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Subscription Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

 

m. This Subscription Agreement may be executed and delivered in two or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic mail or in .pdf (including .pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com or other transmission method)) 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.

 

n. Each party hereto shall pay all of its own expenses in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein.

 

o. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage shall 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 hereto shall be entitled to equitable relief, including in the form of 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 to seek at law, in equity, in contract, in tort, or otherwise. The following is included for the affiliated investors: [The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Bright Machines and the Placement Agent shall be entitled to seek to specifically enforce each party’s obligations under this Subscription Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, seek to cause the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Subscription Agreement, and the provisions of the Subscription Agreement of which the Company and the Placement Agent are each an express third-party beneficiary, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.]

 

29

 

 

p. The descriptive headings contained in this Subscription Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Subscription Agreement.

 

q. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Subscription Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Subscription Agreement is to be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and there is to be no presumption or burden of proof favoring or disfavoring any party because of the authorship of any provision of this Subscription Agreement.

 

r. This Subscription Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State. All legal actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Supreme Court of the State of New York; provided, however, that, if jurisdiction is not then available in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, then any such legal action may be brought in any federal court located in the State of New York or any other New York state court. The parties hereto hereby (i) irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for themselves and with respect to their respective properties for the purpose of any action arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement brought by any party hereto and (ii) agree not to commence any action relating thereto except in the courts described above in New York, other than actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree, or award rendered by any such court in New York as described herein. Each of the parties hereto further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process and the parties hereto further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim, or otherwise, in any action arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (A) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in New York as described herein for any reason, (B) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (C) that (x) the action in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (y) the venue of such action is improper, or (z) this Subscription Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

 

s. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT, OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.s.

 

30

 

 

11. Non-Reliance and Exculpation. The undersigned acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, Bright Machines, the Placement Agent, any of their affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), other than the statements, representations and warranties of the Company expressly contained in this Subscription Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that none of (i) any Other Subscriber pursuant to any Other Subscription Agreement (including such Other Subscriber’s affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), (ii) the Placement Agent, its affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing, or (iii) any Non-Party Affiliate, or any party to the Merger Agreement (other than the Company), shall be liable to the undersigned pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the negotiation hereof or the subject matter hereof, or the transactions contemplated hereby, for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Shares or with respect to any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of this Subscription Agreement or in respect of any written or oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, as expressly provided herein, or for any actual or alleged inaccuracies, misstatements or omissions with respect to any information or materials of any kind furnished by Bright Machines, the Placement Agent or any Non-Party Affiliate concerning the Company, Bright Machines the Placement Agent, any of their controlled affiliates, this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Non-Party Affiliates” means each former, current or future officer, director, employee, partner, member, manager, direct or indirect equityholder or affiliate of the Company, Bright Machines, the Placement Agent or any of the Company’s, Bright Machines’ or the Placement Agent’s controlled affiliates or any family member of the foregoing.

 

12. Separate Obligations. The obligations of the Subscriber under this Subscription Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other Subscriber under the Other Subscription Agreements, and no Subscriber shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Subscriber under the Other Subscription Agreements. The decision of Subscriber to purchase the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement has been made by Subscriber independently of any Other Subscriber and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company, and neither Subscriber nor any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Other Subscriber (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Other Subscription Agreement, and no action taken by Subscriber, shall be deemed to constitute Subscriber or any Other Subscribers under the Other Subscription Agreements as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that Subscriber or any Other Subscribers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements. Subscriber acknowledges that no Other Subscriber has acted as agent for Subscriber in connection with making its investment hereunder and no Other Subscriber will be acting as agent of Subscriber in connection with monitoring its investment in the Shares or enforcing its rights under this Subscription Agreement. Subscriber shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Subscription Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Subscriber to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

 

31

 

 

13. Massachusetts Business Trust. If the undersigned is a Massachusetts Business Trust, a copy of the Declaration of Trust of Investor or any affiliate thereof is on file with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and notice is hereby given that the Subscription Agreement is executed on behalf of the trustees of the undersigned or any affiliate thereof as trustees and not individually and that the obligations of the Subscription Agreement are not binding on any of the trustees, officers or stockholders of the undersigned or any affiliate thereof individually but are binding only upon the undersigned or any affiliate thereof and its assets and property.

 

14. Stock Splits, etc. If any change in the Common Shares shall occur between the date hereof and immediately prior to the Subscription Closing by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend, the number and type of Shares issued to the Subscriber and the Purchase Price shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.
