SPONSOR SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

This SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Subscription Agreement”) is entered into as of February 10, 2022, by and between Thayer Ventures Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”; which term shall refer to Inspirato Incorporated following the Closing), Inspirato LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Inspirato”), and Thayer Ventures Acquisition Holdings LLC (“Subscriber”). Defined terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Business Combination Agreement, dated June 30, 2021, by and among, inter alia, the Company and Inspirato (as amended, modified, supplemented or waived from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Business Combination Agreement”).

WHEREAS, in consideration of the waiver of certain conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement by Inspirato, Subscriber desires to, among other things, (i) subscribe for and purchase from the Company a number of shares of Buyer Class A Common Stock as set forth in this Subscription Agreement for $5,000,000 in cash, within the time periods and collateralized as set forth in this Subscription Agreement, and (ii) forfeit, at no cost, 65,000 shares of Buyer Class B Common Stock currently held by Subscriber (which number shall be in addition to the 1,500,000 shares of Buyer Class B Common Stock to be forfeited by Subscriber pursuant to the Sponsor Side Letter).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and subject to the covenants and conditions herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

  1.

Subscription.

1.1     Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Subscriber hereby agrees to subscribe for and purchase, and the Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to Subscriber, 490,197 shares of Buyer Class A Common Stock at a per share price of $10.20 per share (the “Shares”), for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,009.40 (the “Purchase Price”). The purchase and sale of the Shares shall occur by the sixtieth (60th) day following the Closing (or if such sixtieth day is not a Business Day, by the next occurring Business Day) (the “Outside Date”) (the “Subscription Closing Date”), following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Subscription Agreement, at the offices of Cooley LLP, 3175 Hanover Street, Palo Alto, CA 94304, or such other place as shall be determined by agreement between the Company and Subscriber.

1.2    On the Subscription Closing Date, (i) the Company shall issue the Shares to Subscriber and cause the Shares to be registered in book-entry form in the name of Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with Subscriber’s delivery instructions) on the Company’s share register maintained by its registrar and transfer agent, and (ii) Subscriber shall deliver to the Company payment of the Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified in writing by the Company prior to the Subscription Closing Date.

1.3    If any change in the Company’s capitalization shall occur between the date hereof and immediately prior to the Subscription Closing Date 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 Subscriber shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.


1.4    The parties hereby agree that the Shares shall constitute “Registrable Securities,” and for the avoidance of doubt shall not constitute “TVAC Shares,” under that certain Amended and Restated Registration and Stockholder Rights Agreement, by and among the Company, Subscriber and certain stockholders of the Company and unitholders of Inspirato, to be dated as of the Closing (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), as if held by Subscriber as of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

  2.

Collateral.

2.1    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Subscriber hereby agrees that, from the date hereof through the earlier of (i) the payment in full by Subscriber of the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1 hereof and (ii) the close of business on the Outside Date, 1,000,000 shares of Buyer Class A Common Stock (received upon conversion of Buyer Class B Common Stock at the Closing) held by Subscriber (the “Collateral Shares”) will be subject to restrictions on transfer, sale, lending, pledge or other disposition, subject to the provisions of this Section 2. Subscriber hereby agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer or disposition of the Collateral Shares as may be requested or instructed by the Company and shall execute such other instruments, stock powers, instruction letters or other documents as the Company may reasonably request to enforce the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.1. Subscriber agrees that the Collateral Shares will be registered on the books and records of the Company held by Computershare Trust Company, N.A. and Computershare Inc. (together, the “Transfer Agent”) in the name of Inspirato Incorporated for the benefit of Thayer Ventures Acquisition Holdings LLC.

2.2    If the Purchase Price is paid in full by Subscriber prior to 5:00 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time on the Outside Date, then all restrictions set forth in Section 2.1 will immediately lapse and terminate with respect to the Collateral Shares, and the Company shall promptly cause any stop transfer instructions or restrictive legends to be removed from the Collateral Shares (other than any legends or instructions relating to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and cause the Transfer Agent to update the books and records of the Company so the shares are held directly by Thayer Ventures Acquisition Holdings LLC, including delivering any necessary instruction letters, opinions or other documents to the Transfer Agent.

2.3    If the Purchase Price has not been paid in full by Subscriber as of 5:00 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time on the Outside Date, then Subscriber hereby automatically forfeits, without any further action required by any party, all the Collateral Shares. The parties agree that such forfeiture shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for failure of Subscriber to perform its obligations under Section 1 hereof, and upon such forfeiture, Subscriber will have no further obligations under Section 1 hereof.

3.          Forfeiture. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, effective as of immediately prior to the Closing, Subscriber hereby automatically forfeits, without any further action required by any party, 65,000 shares of Buyer Class B Common Stock held by Subscriber (the “Forfeited Shares”) (which number shall be in addition to the 1,500,000 shares of Buyer Class B Common

 

2


Stock to be forfeited by Subscriber pursuant to the Sponsor Side Letter), and such Forfeited Shares shall be cancelled, cease to exist and shall no longer be outstanding, and following the Closing, Subscriber shall have no right, title or interest to such Forfeited Shares.

 

  4.

Waiver. In consideration for the foregoing:

4.1    Subscriber hereby irrevocably waives, on behalf of itself and any “TVAC Holder” (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the covenants set forth in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.4 of the Registration Rights Agreement, to be effective as of the date of this Subscription Agreement.

4.2    Inspirato hereby irrevocably waives, on behalf of itself and the Blockers, the condition set forth in Section 11.3(c) of the Business Combination Agreement, to be effective as of the date of this Subscription Agreement.

5.          Condition. The parties’ respective obligations under Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4 of this Subscription Agreement are subject to the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement and the effectiveness of the waivers set forth in Section 4 hereof.

6.          Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (i) such date and time as the Business Combination Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms or (ii) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement.

 

  7.
