On the terms and subject to the conditions in this Subscription Agreement, the undersigned hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from GTY, and GTY agrees to issue and sell to the undersigned, 1,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Subscribed Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (implying a 2.5% discount from the expected per share trust value at closing), on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
2. Closing. The closing of the sale of the Shares contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall occur on the date of, and immediately prior to, the consummation of the Business Combination. Upon (i) satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3 below and (ii) not less than five (5) business days’ written notice from (or on behalf of) GTY to the undersigned (the “Closing Notice”) that GTY reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Business Combination to be satisfied on a date that is not less than five (5) business days from the date of the Closing Notice, the undersigned shall deliver to GTY on or prior to 8:00 a.m. (Eastern time) (or, if the undersigned advises GTY that under law, rule or regulation applicable to the undersigned it must have custody of the Shares before funding, as soon as practicable after GTY or its transfer agent provides the undersigned with written notice evidencing the issuance to the undersigned of the Shares) on the closing date specified in the Closing Notice, or such later date as GTY specifies in a subsequent notice to the undersigned (the “Closing Date”), the subscription amount for the Shares subscribed by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by GTY in the Closing Notice against delivery to the undersigned of (i) the Shares in book entry form in the name of the undersigned (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) as set forth in the following sentence and (ii) written notice from (or on behalf of) GTY to the undersigned evidencing the issuance to the undersigned of the Shares on and as of the Closing Date.

7. Registration Rights. GTY shall use commercially reasonable efforts to include the Shares in the S-4. In the event that the Shares are not included in the S-4, GTY agrees that, within seven (7) calendar days after the consummation of the Business Combination, GTY will file with the SEC (at GTY’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Shares issued to the undersigned (the “Registration Statement”), and GTY shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof. GTY agrees that it will cause such registration statement or another shelf registration statement to remain effective until the earlier of (i) two years from the issuance of the Shares, or (ii) on the first date on which the undersigned can sell all of the Shares (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of the Securities Act within 90 days without limitation as to the amount of such securities that may be sold. GTY may delay filing or suspend the use of any such registration statement if GTY delivers to the holders of Shares a certificate signed by an officer of GTY certifying that, in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of GTY, such registration and the offering pursuant thereto would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect or materially interfere with any bona fide material financing or transaction of GTY or would require disclosure of information that has not been disclosed to the public, the premature disclosure of which would materially adversely affect GTY. Such certificate shall contain a statement of the reasons for such postponement and an approximation of the anticipated delay. The holders receiving such certificate shall keep the information contained in such certificate confidential. GTY’s obligations to include the Shares (or shares issued in exchange therefor) in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the undersigned furnishing in writing to GTY such information regarding the undersigned, the securities of GTY held by the undersigned and the intended method of disposition of the Shares as shall be reasonably requested by GTY to effect the registration of the Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as GTY may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations.
