NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, representations, warranties and the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

1.                  Sale and Purchase.

 

(a)               Forward Purchase Shares.

 

(i)                 Forward Purchase. As provided in this Agreement, immediately prior to the Business Combination Closing, the Purchaser shall purchase no less than 5,000,000 Forward Purchase Shares at a price of $10.00 per Forward Purchase Share (the “Forward Purchase”). The Forward Purchase shall be effectuated, in one or more private placements of Forward Purchase Shares.

 

 

 

(ii)              The Company shall require the Purchaser to purchase the Forward Purchase Shares by delivering notice (a “Notice”) to the Purchaser, at least ten (10) Business Days before the funding of the Forward Purchase Price, specifying the anticipated date of the Business Combination Closing. At least two (2) Business Days before the anticipated date of the Business Combination Closing specified in a Notice, the Purchaser shall fund the Forward Purchase Price in an amount set forth in a Notice in full in free and clear funds (to an account notified by the Company to the Purchaser). If the Business Combination Closing does not occur within ten (10) days after the Purchaser funds the Forward Purchase Price in full, the Forward Purchase Price shall automatically return to the Purchaser, provided that the return of the Forward Purchase Price shall not terminate this Agreement or otherwise relieve any party of any of its obligations hereunder. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law or regulation to close in the City of New York, New York. The obligation to consummate the Forward Purchase set forth in this Section 1(a)(ii) shall be transferable or assignable by the Purchaser to one or more third parties (the “Forward Transferees”) to the extent set forth in Section 4(c) and Section 9(t).

 

(iii)            The closing of the sale of the Forward Purchase Shares (the “Forward Closing”) shall be held on the day immediately prior to, or on the the same date and immediately prior to the Business Combination Closing. At the Forward Closing, the Company shall issue to the Purchaser the Forward Purchase Shares, equal to the amount of the Forward Purchase set forth in a Notice.

 

(iv)             At the Forward Closing, upon payment of the Forward Purchase Price, the Company shall issue the Forward Purchase Shares to the Purchaser (or any Forward Transferee) in book-entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those arising under state or federal securities laws), registered in the name of the Purchaser (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions), or to a custodian designated by the Purchaser, as applicable, pursuant to written instructions delivered by the Purchaser.

 

(b)               Legends. Each book entry for the Forward Purchase Shares shall contain a notation, and each certificate (if any) evidencing the Forward Purchase Shares shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend, in substantially the following form:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN VIOLATION OF SUCH ACT AND LAWS. THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION, OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN FORWARD PURCHASE AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG THE HOLDER AND THE COMPANY.

The Company shall cooperate with the Purchaser, at its request, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of physical certificates representing the Forward Purchase Shares and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Purchaser may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Purchaser may request. Any such physical certificates shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the form set forth in Section 1(b).

 

(d)               Legend Removal. If the Forward Purchase Shares are eligible to be sold without restriction under, and without the Company being in compliance with the current public information requirements of, Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), then at the Purchaser’s request, the Company will cause the Company’s transfer agent to remove the legend set forth in Section 1(b) and Section 1(c). In connection therewith, if required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company will promptly cause an opinion of counsel to be delivered to and maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent that authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Forward Purchase Shares without any such legend.

(e)               Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with the Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser’s representation to the Company, which by the Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby confirms, that the Forward Purchase Shares to be acquired by the Purchaser will be acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of any state or federal securities laws, and that the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of law (other than as set forth herein). By executing this Agreement, the Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person (other than another the Purchaser, if applicable) to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person, with respect to any of the Forward Purchase Shares. For purposes of this Agreement, “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity or any government or any department or agency thereof.

 

(f)                Disclosure of Information. In making its decision to purchase the Forward Purchase Shares, the Purchaser represents that it has relied solely upon independent investigation made by the Purchaser. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser has received such information as Purchaser deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Forward Purchase Shares. The Purchaser represents and agrees that the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as the Purchaser and such the Purchaser’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Forward Purchase Shares.

(g)               Restricted Shares. The Purchaser understands that the offer and sale of the Forward Purchase Shares to the Purchaser has not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. The Purchaser understands that the Forward Purchase Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Purchaser must hold the Forward Purchase Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the SEC and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Forward Purchase Shares for resale, except as provided herein (the “Registration Rights”). The Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Forward Purchase Shares, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy. The Purchaser understands that the offering of the Forward Purchase Shares is not and is not intended to be part of the IPO, and that the Purchaser will not be able to rely on the protection of Section 11 of the Securities Act with respect to such Forward Purchase Shares.

 

(h)               No Public Market. The Purchaser understands that the Forward Purchase Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Forward Purchase Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act. The Purchaser understands and agrees that the Forward Purchase Shares will be subject to transfer restrictions and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, the Purchaser may not be able to readily resell the Forward Purchase Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Forward Purchase Shares for an indefinite period of time. The Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Forward Purchase Shares, and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Forward Purchase Shares.

 

(i)                 High Degree of Risk. The Purchaser acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Forward Purchase Shares. The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Forward Purchase Shares, and the Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Purchaser has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision. The Purchaser has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Forward Purchase Shares and determined that the Forward Purchase Shares are a suitable investment for the Purchaser and that the Purchaser is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of the Purchaser’s investment in the Company. The Purchaser acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

All of the Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder with respect to the Forward Purchase may be transferred or assigned, at any time and from time to time prior to the consummation of a Business Combination and in whole or in part, to any Forward Transferees. Upon any such transfer or assignment:

 

(i)            the applicable Forward Transferee(s) shall execute a joinder to this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Joinder Agreement”), which shall, on the signature page to the Joinder Agreement, reflect the number of Forward Purchase Shares such Forward Transferee(s) shall have the right to purchase (the “Forward Transferee Shares”), and, upon such execution, such Forward Transferee(s) shall have all the same rights and obligations of the Purchaser hereunder with respect to the Forward Transferee Shares, and references herein to the “Purchaser” shall be deemed to refer to and include any such Forward Transferee(s) with respect to such Forward Transferee(s) and to their Forward Transferee Shares; provided, that any representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Purchaser and any such Forward Transferee(s) shall be several and not joint and shall be made as to the Purchaser or any such Forward Transferee(s), as applicable, as to itself only;

 

11 

 

 

(ii)             all of the rights and obligations of each Forward Transferee with respect to the Forward Purchase may not be transferred or assigned, at any time and from time to time and in whole or in part, except the rights and obligations of each Forward Transferee with respect to the Forward Purchase may be transferred or assigned, at any time and from time to time and in whole or in part to any affiliate of TPG, subject to the same terms and procedures as a transfer or assignment from the Purchaser to the Forward Transferees;

 

(iii)           upon a Forward Transferee’s execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement, the number of Forward Purchase Shares permitted to be purchased by the Purchaser in the Forward Purchase hereunder shall be reduced by the total number of Forward Purchase Shares permitted to be purchased by the applicable Forward Transferee pursuant to the applicable Joinder Agreement, which reduction shall be evidenced by the Purchaser and the Company amending Schedule A to this Agreement to reflect each transfer and updating the “Number of Forward Purchase Shares”, and “Aggregate Purchase Price for Forward Purchase Shares” on the Purchaser’s signature page hereto to reflect such reduced number of Forward Purchase Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement need not be amended and restated in its entirety, but only Schedule A and the Purchaser’s signature page hereto need be so amended and updated and executed by the Purchaser and the Company upon the occurrence of any such transfer of Forward Transferee Shares.

 

5.            Additional Agreements and Acknowledgements of the Purchaser.

 

(a)            Trust Account.

 

(i)               The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is aware that the Company will establish a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of its public shareholders upon the IPO Closing. The Purchaser, for itself and its affiliates, hereby agrees that it has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, or any other asset of the Company as a result of any liquidation of the Company, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in respect of any Public Shares, if any, held by it.

 

(ii)              The Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall have no right of set-off or any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”) to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account, and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account that it may have now or in the future, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in respect of any Public Shares held by it. In the event the Purchaser has any Claim against the Company under this Agreement, the Purchaser shall pursue such Claim solely against the Company and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the property or any monies in the Trust Account, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in respect of any Public Shares held by it.

 

12 

 

 

(b)            Voting. The Purchaser hereby agrees that if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, then in connection with such proposed Business Combination, the Purchaser shall vote any Class A Shares owned by it on the record date for the stockholder vote in favor of any proposed Business Combination. If the Purchaser fails to vote any Class A Shares it is required to vote hereunder in favor of a proposed Business Combination, the Purchaser hereby grants hereunder to the Company and any representative designated by the Company without further action by the Purchaser a limited irrevocable power of attorney to effect such vote on behalf of the Purchaser, which power of attorney shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest.

 

(c)           No Short Sales. Each Purchaser hereby agrees that neither it, nor any person or entity acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it, will engage in any Short Sales with respect to securities of the Company prior to the Business Combination Closing. For purposes of this Section 5, “Short Sales” shall include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges (other than pledges in the ordinary course of business as part of prime brokerage arrangements), forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), each of such foregoing instruments that is naked short, and short sales and other short transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company enters into a purchase agreement in respect of a private investment in public equity (a “PIPE Agreement”) with a non-TPG Party that either (1) does not include a restriction on Short Sales or (2) contains restrictions on Short Sales that are less restrictive than the restrictions in the first two sentences of this paragraph, the Purchaser will, in the case of (1), not be subject to the foregoing restriction on Short Sales or, in the case of (2), be subject to the restrictions on Short Sales set forth in the PIPE Agreement (in lieu of the foregoing restrictions), in each case, as of the date of the PIPE Agreement. Upon the entry into any such PIPE Agreement, the Company will provide the Purchaser with notice of any restriction on Short Sales contained in the PIPE Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the restriction on Short Sales set forth above shall not apply to other portfolio managers who manage other portions of such Purchaser’s assets and who make any Short Sales without reference to or knowledge of the Purchaser’s investment in the Forward Purchase Shares.

 

6.            Listing. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect and maintain the listing of the Class A Shares on the New York Stock Exchange (or another national securities exchange).

 

7.             Forward Closing Conditions.

 

(a)           The obligation of the Purchaser to purchase the Forward Purchase Shares at the Forward Closing under this Agreement shall be subject to the fulfillment, at or prior to such Forward Closing of each of the following conditions, any of which, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, may be waived by the Purchaser:

 

(i)              (A) With respect to the Forward Closing occurring on the date of the Business Combination Closing, the Business Combination shall be consummated substantially concurrently with, and immediately following, the purchase of the Forward Purchase Shares and (B) with respect to the Forward Closing occurring prior to the date of the Business Combination Closing, the Company shall not have delivered to the Purchaser a revocation of the Notice with respect to such Forward Purchase;

 

13 

 

 

(ii)             The Company shall have delivered to the Purchaser a certificate evidencing the Company’s good standing as a Cayman Islands exempted company, as of a date within ten (10) Business Days of the Forward Closing;

 

(iii)            The representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement shall have been true and correct as of the date hereof and shall be true and correct as of such Forward 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 material adverse effect on the Company or its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

 

(iv)            The Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Company at or prior to such Forward Closing;

 

(v)             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, and no other legal restraint or prohibition shall be in effect, preventing the purchase by the Purchaser of the Forward Purchase Shares.

 

(b)           The obligation of the Company to sell the Forward Purchase Shares at the Forward Closing under this Agreement shall be subject to the fulfillment, at or prior to such Forward Closing of each of the following conditions, any of which, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, may be waived by the Company:

 

(i)             (A) With respect to the Forward Closing occurring on the date of the Business Combination Closing, the Business Combination shall be consummated substantially concurrently with, and immediately following, the purchase of the Forward Purchase Shares and (B) with respect to the Forward Closing occurring prior to the date of the Business Combination Closing, Company shall not have delivered to the Purchaser a revocation of the Notice with respect to such Forward Purchase;

 

(ii)             The representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement shall have been true and correct as of the date hereof and shall be true and correct as of such Forward 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 material adverse effect on the Purchaser or its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

 

14 

 

 

(iii)            The Purchaser shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Purchaser at or prior to such Forward Closing; and

 

(iv)            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, and no other legal restraint or prohibition shall be in effect, preventing the purchase by the Purchaser of the Forward Purchase Shares.

 

8.            Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Forward

 

Closing:

 

(a)            by mutual written consent of the Company and the Purchaser;

 

(b)            automatically:

(ii)              if the Business Combination is not consummated within 24 months from the IPO Closing, unless extended upon approval of the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the organizational documents of the Company; or

 

(c)           pursuant to the third sentence of Section 9(t).

 

In the event of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8, any Forward Purchase Price (and interest thereon, if any), if previously paid, and all Purchaser’s funds paid in connection herewith shall be promptly returned to the Purchaser, the Company shall ensure appropriate instruments are executed to ensure that the any holder of Class A Shares issued in the IPO will have no claim to such funds, and thereafter this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of the Purchaser or the Company and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, or shareholders and all rights and obligations of each of the parties shall cease; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 8 shall relieve either party from liabilities or damages arising out of any fraud or willful breach by such party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

16 

 

 

(f)                Successors.

Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Placement Agents are a third-party beneficiaries of the acknowledgements, representations, warranties and covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement.

 

(g)               Assignments. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no party hereto may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other party.

 

(h)               Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

 

(i)                 Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

(j)                 Governing Law. This Agreement, the entire relationship of the parties hereto, and any litigation between the parties (whether grounded in contract, tort, statute, law or equity) shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its choice of laws principles.

 

(k)               Jurisdiction. The parties (i) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the state courts of New York and to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement, (b) agree not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement except in state courts of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and (c) hereby waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court.

(n)               Severability. The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided that if any provision of this Agreement, as applied to any party hereto or to any circumstance, is adjudged by a governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator not to be enforceable in accordance with its terms, the parties hereto agree that the governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator making such determination will have the power to modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision will then be enforceable and will be enforced.

 

(o)               Expenses. Each of the Company and the Purchaser will bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including all fees and expenses of agents, representatives, financial advisors, legal counsel and accountants. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent, stamp taxes and all The Depository Trust Company fees associated with the issuance of the Forward Purchase Shares.

 

(p)               Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign law will be deemed also to refer to law as amended and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

 

(q)               Waiver. No waiver by any party hereto of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent occurrence.

 

(r)                Confidentiality. Except as may be required by law, regulation or applicable stock exchange listing requirements, unless and until the transactions contemplated hereby and the terms hereof are publicly announced or otherwise publicly disclosed by the Company, the parties hereto shall keep confidential and shall not publicly disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement.

 

18 

 

 

(s)                Specific Performance. The Purchaser agrees that irreparable damage may occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Company shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.

 

(t)                 Purchaser Notice. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no less than ten (10) business days prior to the Business Combination Closing, the Company shall provide the Purchaser information about the terms of the Business Combination, including information about the target company in such Business Combination (such information, the “Information”). Following delivery of the Information, but no less than ten (10) business days prior to the Business Combination Closing, the Company shall provide written notice to the Purchaser of the anticipated Business Combination Closing date (“Company Notice”). If within five (5) business days after receiving the Company Notice (which five (5) business day period may be extended at the discretion of the Company), the Purchaser provides written notice to the Company that the Purchaser has determined that it no longer wishes to consummate the purchase of the Forward Purchase Shares pursuant to this Agreement, then the Sponsor will use commercially reasonable efforts to find an investor that will assume, or may itself assume or may cause its affiliate to assume, the Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Forward Purchase Shares pursuant to this Agreement. If such Purchaser’s obligation has not been assumed pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Company shall cancel the Purchaser’s obligation at least three (3) business days prior to the Business Combination Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement is assumed or cancelled, any restrictions on Short Sales contained in this Agreement shall terminate.

EXHIBIT A

 

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

 

1.                 The Company shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to file within thirty (30) calendar days after the Business Combination Closing (the “Filing Date”) a registration statement on Form S-3, or if the Company is ineligible to use Form S-3, on Form S-1, for a secondary offering (including any successor registration statement covering the resale of the Registrable Securities a “Forward Registration Statement”) of (x) the Class A Shares and (y) any other equity security of the Company issued or issuable with respect to the securities referred to in clause (x) by way of a share dividend or share split, or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or reorganization and (z) any other shares of the Company that the Purchasers may have purchased in the open market (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”) pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act; (ii) to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a Forward 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 (i) the 90th calendar day (or 120th calendar day if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Business Combination Closing and (ii) the 10th Business Day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”); provided however, that the Company’s obligation to include the Registrable Securities in the Forward Registration Statement are contingent upon the Purchaser furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the Purchaser, the securities of the Company held by the Purchaser and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and the Purchaser 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 Forward Registration Statement as permitted hereunder. The Company shall maintain each Forward Registration Statement in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep such Forward Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities included on such Forward Registration Statement. In the event the Company files a Forward Registration Statement on Form S-1, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 to a Form S-3 as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Company to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Date 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 as set forth in this Exhibit A.

 

2.                  In the case of the registration, qualification, exemption or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform the Purchaser as to the status of such registration, qualification, exemption and compliance. At its expense the Company shall:

 

(i)       except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Forward Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Company determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to the Purchaser, and to keep the applicable Forward Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf Forward Registration Statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (i) the Purchaser ceases to hold any Registrable Securities or (ii) the date all Registrable Securities held by the Purchaser may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 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), and (iii) three (3) years from the Effective Date of the Forward Registration Statement. “Effective Date” as used herein shall mean the date on which the Forward Registration Statement is first declared effective by the SEC. The period of time during which the Company is required hereunder to keep a Forward Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “Registration Period”;

 

Exhibit A-1 

 

 

(ii)       during the Registration Period, advise the Purchaser within five (5) Business Days:

 

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

 

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

 

(3)       after it shall have received notice or obtained knowledge of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Forward Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose;

 

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

 

(5)       subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Forward 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.

 

Exhibit A-2 

 

 

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

 

(iv)       during the Registration Period, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 2(ii)(5) above, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Forward Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Forward Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

 

(v)       during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Existing Parent Class A Shares issued by the Company 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 Registrable Securities contemplated hereby and to enable the Purchaser to sell the Registrable Securities under Rule 144.

 

3.                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Forward Registration Statement, and from time to time to require the Purchaser not to sell under the Forward Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event the Company’s Board of Directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Company in the Forward 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 Forward Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Company’s Board of Directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Forward 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 the Company may not delay or suspend the Forward 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 twelvemonth period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Forward Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Forward 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 Forward 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, the Purchaser agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities under the Forward Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until the Purchaser 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 that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company 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 the Company unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Company, the Purchaser will deliver to the Company or, in the Purchaser’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities in the Purchaser’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities shall not apply (i) to the extent the Purchaser 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 backup.

 

Exhibit A-3 

 

 

4.                  The Purchaser may deliver written notice (including via email in accordance with Section 9(a) of the Agreement) (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company requesting that the Purchaser not receive notices from the Company otherwise required by this Section 5; provided, however, that the Purchaser may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from the Purchaser (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Company shall not deliver any such notices to the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to the Purchaser’s intended use of an effective Forward Registration Statement, the Purchaser will notify the Company 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 5 and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Company will so notify the Purchaser, within one (1) Business Day of the Purchaser’s notification to the Company, by delivering to the Purchaser a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide the Purchaser with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event immediately upon its availability.
