This SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Subscription Agreement”) is entered into this [●] day of [●], 2021, by and among TPG Pace Solutions Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), Vacasa, Inc. (“Newco”) and the undersigned (“Subscriber”).

 

WHEREAS, substantially concurrently with the execution of this Subscription Agreement, the Company is entering into a definitive agreement with Vacasa Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Vacasa”), Newco and the other parties thereto, providing for the acquisition of Vacasa (the “Transaction Agreement” and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, the “Business Combination”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Transaction Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, one Business Day prior to the Closing Date, at the Effective Time, the Company shall merge with and into Newco a newly formed Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Vacasa, with Newco surviving such merger (the “Merger”);

 

WHEREAS, by virtue of the Merger, each then issued and outstanding Cayman Pace Class A Ordinary Share shall convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Class A Common Stock of Newco (“Class A Common Stock”);

 

WHEREAS, on the Closing Date, concurrently with the Closing and in connection with the Business Combination, Subscriber desires to subscribe for and purchase from the Company that number of shares of Class A Common Stock, set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Acquired Shares”) for a purchase price of $9.50 per share, with the aggregate purchase price being set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Purchase Price”), and the Company desires to issue and sell to Subscriber the Acquired Shares in consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price by or on behalf of Subscriber to the Company on or prior to the Closing (as defined below);

 

WHEREAS, certain other “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) or “accredited investors” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act) (each, an “Other Subscriber” and together with the Subscriber, the “Subscribers”) have, severally and not jointly, entered into separate subscription agreements with the Company and Newco (the “Other Subscription Agreements” and together with this Subscription Agreement, the “Subscription Agreements”), pursuant to which such Other Subscribers have agreed to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock on the Closing Date at the same per share purchase price as Subscriber, and the aggregate amount of securities to be sold by Newco pursuant to the Subscription Agreements equals, as of the date hereof, [●] shares of Class A Common Stock;

 

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

 

1.            Subscription. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Subscriber hereby agrees to subscribe for and purchase, and Newco hereby agrees to issue and sell to Subscriber, upon the payment of the Purchase Price, the Acquired Shares (such subscription and issuance, the “Subscription”). Upon Subscriber’s request, Newco shall deliver to Subscriber: (i) a duly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8BenE, as applicable and (ii) the names, email addresses and telephone numbers of two company contacts (the “Wire Verification Information”).

 

 

2.            Closing.

 

(a)            The “Subscription Closing” shall occur on the Closing Date and concurrently with the Closing. At least five (5) business days before the Company reasonably anticipates the Closing will occur, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”) specifying (i) the anticipated Closing Date and (ii) the wire instructions for delivery of the Purchase Price to the Company. No later than two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date set forth in the Closing Notice, the Subscriber shall deliver to the Company such information as is reasonably requested in the Closing Notice in order for the Company to issue the Acquired Shares to the Subscriber, including, without limitation, the legal name of the person in whose name the Acquired Shares are to be issued and a duly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 or appropriate Form W-8. The Subscriber shall deliver to the Company, on or prior to the date that immediately precedes the Closing Date,¹ to be held in escrow until the Subscription Closing, the Purchase Price in cash via wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified in the Closing Notice, such funds to be held by the Company in escrow until the Subscription Closing.

 

(b)            On the Closing Date, the Purchase Price shall be released from escrow against and concurrently with delivery by Newco to Subscriber of (i) the Acquired Shares in book-entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those arising under this Subscription Agreement or applicable state or federal securities laws), in the name of Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) or to a custodian designated by Subscriber, as applicable, and (ii) a copy of the records of, or correspondence from, Newco’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) reflecting Subscriber as the owner of the Acquired Shares on and as of the Closing Date (in book entry form). In the event the Closing does not occur within three (3) business days of the Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, the Company shall promptly (but not later than three (3) business days thereafter) return the Purchase Price to Subscriber by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Subscriber and the Subscriber shall be deemed to have requested that the Acquired Shares be surrendered to Newco for nil consideration (with any book entries or share certificates deemed cancelled, and any share certificates held by the Subscriber promptly returned to Newco). If this Subscription Agreement terminates, in accordance with the terms hereof, following the delivery by the Subscriber of the Purchase Price, Newco shall promptly (but not later than three (3) business days thereafter) return the Purchase Price to the Subscriber. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) a failure to close on the Closing Date shall not, by itself, be deemed to be a failure of any of the conditions to Closing set forth in this Section 2 to be satisfied or waived on or prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) Subscriber shall remain obligated to (A) redeliver funds to Newco following Newco’s delivery to Subscriber of a new Closing Notice and (B) consummate the Closing upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.

 

¹ For any Subscriber that is an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”) or that is advised by an investment adviser subject to regulation under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Investment Advisers Act”), substitute the following closing mechanics in lieu of those described in the fourth and fifth sentences of this Section 2(a): “The Subscriber shall initiate funding of the Purchase Price to the Company on the Closing Date, via wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company in the Closing Notice; provided, that the Subscriber shall not be obligated to initiate funding of the Purchase Price or consummate the Subscription Closing until the Company has delivered to the Subscriber (i) the Acquired Shares in book entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those arising under state or federal securities laws), in the name of Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) or to a custodian designated by Subscriber, as applicable, and (ii) a copy of the records of, or correspondence from, the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) reflecting Subscriber as the owner of the Acquired Shares on and as of the Closing Date or the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date, as applicable. In the event the Subscriber has not instructed the initiation of the wire transfer(s) in the amount of the Purchase Price within one (1) business day of the Closing Date, the issuance of the Acquired Shares shall be deemed to be null and void and the Company shall promptly reverse and cancel any book entries reflecting the issuance of the Acquired Shares.”

 

 

(c)            For the purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “business day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is closed or on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law or regulation to close.

 

(d)           The obligation of the Company and Newco to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be subject to the conditions that, on the Closing Date:

 

(i)            all representations and warranties of the Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement shall have been true and correct as of the date hereof and shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date, as applicable, with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of such date (other than any such representation or warranty that is made by its terms as of a specified date, which shall be true and correct as of such specified date), except where the failure to be so true and correct would not have a Subscriber Material Adverse Effect.

 

(ii)            the Subscriber shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to the Closing; provided, that this condition shall be deemed satisfied unless written notice of such non-compliance is provided by the Company or Newco to the Subscriber and the Subscriber fails to cure such noncompliance in all material respects within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice.

 

(e)           Without affecting the timing set forth in Section 2(a), the obligations of the Subscriber to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be subject to the conditions that, on the Closing Date:

 

(i)            all representations and warranties of the Company and Newco contained in this Subscription Agreement shall have been true and correct as of the date hereof and shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date, as applicable, with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of such date (other than any such representation or warranty that is made by its terms as of a specified date, which shall be true and correct as of such specified date), except where the failure to be so true and correct would not have an Company Material Adverse Effect or Newco Material Adverse Effect;

 

(ii)            the Company and Newco shall have performed, satisfied and complied (unless waived) in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by them at or prior to the Subscription Closing; provided, that this condition shall be deemed satisfied unless written notice of such non-compliance is provided by Subscriber to the Company and Newco and the Company or Newco fails to cure such non-compliance in all material respects within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice;

 

 

(iii)            all conditions precedent to the closing of the Business Combination, including all necessary approvals of the Company and Newco’s shareholders and regulatory approvals, if any, shall have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that may only be satisfied at the closing of the Business Combination, but subject to satisfaction or waiver of such conditions as of the closing of the Business Combination);

 

(iv)            no governmental authority shall have enacted, issued or entered any judgment or order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (except in the case of a governmental authority located outside the United States where such restraint or prohibition would not be reasonably expected to have an Company Material Adverse Effect or Newco Material Adverse Effect); and

 

(v)            the terms of the Transaction Agreement shall not have been amended, modified or waived by the Company or Newco in a manner that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the economic benefits that Subscriber would reasonably expect to receive under this Subscription Agreement unless Subscriber has consented in writing to such amendment, modification or waiver.

 

(f)           Without affecting the timing set forth in Section 2(a), the obligations of each of the Company, Newco and Subscriber to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder are subject to the conditions that, on the Closing Date:

 

(i)            no order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination, or award shall have been entered by or with any governmental, regulatory, or administrative authority or any court, tribunal, or judicial, or arbitral body, preventing the Subscription; and

 

(ii)            no suspension of the qualification of the Acquired Shares for the offering, sale or trade shall have been initiated in any jurisdiction, including by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).

 

(g)            Prior to the Subscription Closing, the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional actions as the parties reasonably may deem to be practical and necessary in order to consummate the Subscription as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

(a)            The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as an exempted company in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands, with all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted and to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement.

 

  

(b)            This Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming that this Subscription Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Subscriber, this Subscription Agreement is enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

 

(c)            The execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription Agreement (including compliance by the Company with all of the provisions hereof), the issuance and sale by the Company of the Acquired Shares and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated herein will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Company pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject, which would, in any case, reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, or results of operations of the Company (a “Company Material Adverse Effect”) or materially affect the validity of the Acquired Shares or the legal authority of the Company to comply in all material respects with the terms of its obligations under this Subscription Agreement; (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of the Company; or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties that would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect or materially affect the validity of the Acquired Shares or the legal authority of the Company to comply in all material respects with its obligations under this Subscription Agreement.

 

(d)            There are no securities or instruments issued by or to which the Company is a party containing anti-dilution or similar provisions that will be triggered by the issuance of (i) the Acquired Shares or (ii) the shares to be issued pursuant to any Other Subscription Agreement that have not been or will not be validly waived on or prior to the Closing Date.

 

(e)            The Company is not in default or violation (and no event has occurred that, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or violation) of any term, condition or provision of (i) the organizational documents of the Company, (ii) any loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, permit, franchise or license to which the Company is now a party or by which the Company’s properties or assets are bound or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), for defaults or violations that have not had and would not be reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

 

 

(f)            The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Acquired Shares), other than (i) the filing with the Commission of the Registration Statement (as defined below), (ii) the filings required in accordance with Section 9 of this Subscription Agreement, (iii) those required by the Designated Exchange (as defined in the Transaction Agreement), including with respect to obtaining stockholder approval, (iv) any filings required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 or similar antitrust laws; and (v) the failure of which to obtain would not be reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

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

 

(j)             Following the Business Combination, the Acquired Shares are expected to be registered under the Exchange Act and to be listed for trading on the Designated Exchange. Except as otherwise disclosed by the Company in the SEC Documents (as defined below), there is no suit, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company by the Designated Exchange or the Commission with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister the Class A Ordinary Shares or prohibit or terminate the listing of the Class A Ordinary Shares on the Designated Exchange, excluding, for the purposes of clarity, the customary ongoing review of the Designated Exchange in connection with the Business Combination.

Neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf has offered or will offer any of the Acquired Shares in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

 

 

(l)            Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement, the Company and Newco are entering into the Other Subscription Agreements providing for the sale of an aggregate of [●] shares of Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $[●] (including the Acquired Shares purchased and sold under this Subscription Agreement).

No Other Subscription Agreement (other than pursuant to the Business Combination or any Other Subscription Agreements entered into by investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or investors advised by an investment adviser subject to regulation under the Investment Advisers Act as contemplated by Section 2(a) hereof) (collectively, the “PIPE Agreements”) contains terms (economic or otherwise) that are materially more advantageous to any such Other Subscriber (as compared to Subscriber) other than such PIPE Agreements containing any of the following: (i) any rights or benefits granted to an Other Subscriber in connection with such Other Subscriber’s compliance with any law, regulation or policy specifically applicable to such Other Subscriber or in connection with the taxable status of an Other Subscriber, (ii) any rights or benefits which are personal to an Other Subscriber based solely on its place of organization or headquarters, organizational form of, or other particular restrictions applicable to, such Other Subscriber, (iii) any rights with respect to the confidentiality or disclosure of an Other Subscriber’s identity, or (iv) any rights or benefits granted to the Company, Newco, Vacasa or any of their respective affiliates or any of their respective partners, members, shareholders, employees or agents.

 

(m)            The Company has made available to Subscriber (including via the Commission’s EDGAR system) a true, correct and complete copy of each of the SEC documents filed by the Company (the “Company SEC Documents”) with the Commission prior to the date of this Subscription Agreement, which such Company SEC Documents, as of their respective filing dates, complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to the Company SEC Documents and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company SEC Documents. None of the Company SEC Documents filed under the Exchange Act included, when filed or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment with respect to those disclosures that are amended, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company has timely filed each report, statement, schedule, prospectus, and registration statement that the Company was required to file with the Commission since its inception. The financial statements of the Company included in the Company SEC Documents comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, year-end audit adjustments. As of the date hereof there are, and upon Closing there shall be, no material outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters received by the Company from the Commission Staff with respect to any of the Company SEC Documents.

 

 

(n)            As of the date hereof, there are no pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened suits, claim, actions or proceedings (collectively, “Actions”), which, if determined adversely, would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have an Company Material Adverse Effect. As of the date hereof, there is no unsatisfied judgment or any open injunction binding upon the Company which would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have an Company Material Adverse Effect.

 

(o)            The Company has not paid, and is not obligated to pay, any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with its issuance and sale of the Acquired Shares, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any fee or commission payable to any shareholder or affiliate of the Company, and is not aware of any person that has been or will be paid (directly or indirectly) remuneration for solicitation of purchasers in connection with the sale of any Acquired Shares, other than J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“J.P. Morgan”), Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“GS”) and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (“DB”) (the “Placement Agents”) and TPG Capital BD, LLC. The Company is solely responsible for paying any fees or any other commission owed to the Placement Agents in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.

6.            Registration Statement.

 

(a)        Newco agrees (i) to use commercially reasonable efforts to submit to or file with the Commission within thirty (30) calendar days after the Subscription Closing (the “Filing Date”) a registration statement on Form S-3, or if Newco is ineligible to use Form S-3, on Form S-1, for the resale (including any successor registration statement covering the resale of the Acquired Shares, the “Registration Statement”) of the Acquired Shares (and any other equity security of Newco issued or issuable with respect to the Acquired Shares by way of a share dividend or share split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or reorganization) pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, (ii) to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable after the filing thereof but no later than the earlier of (a) the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the Commission notifies Newco that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Subscription Closing and (b) the 10th business day after the date Newco is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”) and, in any event, shall use best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act within one year of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that Newco’s obligations to include the Acquired Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to Newco such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of Newco held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Acquired Shares as shall be reasonably requested by Newco to effect the registration of the Acquired Shares, and Subscriber shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Newco may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that Newco shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement as permitted hereunder. In no event shall Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement except to the extent required by the Securities Act. Newco shall maintain the Registration Statement in accordance with the terms of this Section 6, and shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post- effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act through the period contemplated by Section 6(b)(i). In the event Newco files a Registration Statement on Form S-1, Newco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 to a Form S-3 as soon as practicable after Newco is eligible to use Form S-3. For purposes of clarification, any failure by Newco to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Date or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve Newco of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 6.

 

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

 

(i)         except for such times as Newco 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 Newco determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to Subscriber, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earliest of the following: (i) Subscriber ceases to hold any Acquired Shares, (ii) the date all Acquired Shares held by Subscriber may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions that may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for Newco to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), (iii) three (3) years from the “Effective Date” of the Registration Statement and (iv) the date all Acquired Shares have been registered on Form S-4. “Effective Date” as used herein shall mean the date on which the Registration Statement is first declared effective by the Commission. The period of time during which Newco is required hereunder to keep a Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “Registration Period”;

 

 

(ii)        during the Registration Period, advise Subscriber within three (3) business days:

 

(1)        when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

 

(2)        of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;

 

(3)        after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

 

(4)        of the receipt by Newco of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Acquired Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

 

(5)        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 any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein (in the case of a Registration Statement) 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.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Newco shall not, when so advising Subscriber of such events, provide Subscriber with any material, non-public information regarding Newco other than to the extent that providing notice to Subscriber of the occurrence of the events listed in (1) through (5) above constitutes material, non-public information regarding Newco;

 

(iii)       during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

 

(iv)      during the Registration Period, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 6(b)(ii)(5) above, except for such times as Newco is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, Newco 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 Acquired 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;

 

 

(v)       during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Acquired Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the shares of Class A Common Stock have been listed; and

 

(vi)      during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Acquired Shares contemplated hereby and to enable Subscriber to sell the Acquired Shares under Rule 144.

 

(c)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, Newco 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 Newco or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event Newco’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of outside legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by Newco in the Registration Statement of material information that Newco 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 Newco’s board of directors, upon the advice of outside legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements or is otherwise necessary for the Registration Statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that Newco may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from Newco of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein (in the case of a Registration Statement) 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 (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Acquired 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 Newco agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by Newco that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by Newco unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by Newco, Subscriber will deliver to Newco or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Acquired Shares in Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Acquired Shares shall not apply (i) 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 (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

 

 

(d)            Subscriber may deliver written notice (including via email in accordance with Section 9(q)) (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to Newco requesting that Subscriber not receive notices from Newco otherwise required by this Section 6; provided, however, that Subscriber may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from Subscriber (unless subsequently revoked), (i) Newco shall not deliver any such notices to Subscriber and Subscriber shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to Subscriber’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, Subscriber will notify Newco in writing at least two (2) business days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 6(d)) and the related suspension period remains in effect, Newco will so notify Subscriber, within one (1) business day of Subscriber’s notification to Newco, by delivering to Subscriber a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event (or notice of a Suspension Event if a previous notice of Suspension would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 6(d)), and thereafter will provide Subscriber with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event immediately upon its availability.

 

(e)            Newco shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Subscription Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Subscriber (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), the officers, directors, agents, partners, members, managers, shareholders, affiliates, and employees and investment advisers of each Subscriber, and each person who controls such Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented costs of preparation and investigation and reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees of one law firm (and one firm of local counsel)) and all other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Subscriber furnished in writing to Newco by such Subscriber expressly for use therein.

 

Newco shall notify such Subscriber promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 6 of which Newco is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Acquired Shares by such Subscriber.

 

 

(f)         Each Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly with any other selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement or any other persons, indemnify and hold harmless Newco, its directors, officers, agents and employees, and each person who controls Newco (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, caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Subscriber furnished in writing to Newco by such Subscriber expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of any Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds (but before expenses) received by such Subscriber upon the sale of the Acquired Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

(g)        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 person’s or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (B) unless in such indemnified party’s 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 any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim.
