This amended and restated Forward Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”)
is entered into as of May 9, 2022, by and between Tiga Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”) and Tiga Sponsor LLC, a Cayman

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall

the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Grindr Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Merger Agreement”).
WHEREAS, the parties wish to amend and restate the Original Agreement as set forth in this Agreement, pursuant to which immediately
prior to the Closing under the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Closing”) but following the Domestication (the “Forward Purchase Closing Period”) the Company shall issue and sell, and the Purchaser shall purchase, on a private placement basis, 5,000,000 shares of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock (the “Forward Purchase Shares”) and 2,500,000 Domesticated Acquiror Warrants (the “Forward
Purchase Warrants” and together with the Forward Purchase Shares, the “Forward Purchase Securities”) on the terms and conditions set forth
herein.
WHEREAS, in connection with the entry into the Merger Agreement, an allocation of up to $50,000,000 of capital of the Purchaser has been
made to subscribe for up to 5,000,000 Backstop Shares (as defined below) and up to 2,500,000 Backstop Warrants (as defined below), on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Backstop Commitment”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, 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:
1. Backstop Subscription; Funding Notice.
(a) Backstop Subscription.
To the extent that the sum of (i) the Trust Amount, plus (ii) the amount actually received by the Company prior to or substantially concurrently with the Closing from any PIPE Investment (the “Non-FPS
Amount”) is less than $50,000,000 immediately prior to the expiry of the Forward Purchase Closing Period, the Purchaser agrees to purchase (a) a number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock equal to (A) (x) $50,000,000 minus (y) the Non-FPS Amount, divided by (B)
$10.00, rounded down to the nearest whole number and (b) a number of Domesticated Acquiror Warrants equal to (I) the number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock in clause (a) multiplied by (II) 0.5, rounded down to the nearest whole number. In addition to the foregoing, the Purchaser may, at its discretion (regardless of the Non-FPS Amount), subscribe for up to 5,000,000 shares
of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock plus up to 2,500,000 Domesticated Acquiror Warrants at $11.50 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000,000, or $10.00 for each share of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock and one-half of one
Domesticated Acquiror Warrant. The amount of any such subscription pursuant to this Section 1(a), the “Backstop Subscription Amount”, any shares of
Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock subscribed for pursuant to this Section 1(a), the “Backstop Shares”, and any Domesticated Acquiror Warrants subscribed for
pursuant to this Section 1(a), the “Backstop Warrants”.
(b) Funding Notice.
One day following the date by which Acquiror Share Redemptions are required to be made in accordance with the Company’s Governing
Documents, the Company shall deliver a written notice (the “Funding Notice”) to the Purchaser setting forth:
(i) the Acquiror Share
Redemption Amount;
(ii) the Backstop Subscription
Amount (as calculated in accordance with Section 1(a) of this Agreement);
(iii) the number of Backstop
Shares;
(iv) the number of Backstop
Warrants;
(v) the anticipated Closing
Date; and
(vi) the Company’s wire
instructions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, the “Backstop Subscription Amount” shall be finally calculated without
including any shares of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock subject to the Acquiror Share Redemption that have been offered for redemption but subsequently and validly withdrawn by the applicable holder in accordance with the Company’s Governing
Documents and applicable law.
Within one (1) Business Day of receipt of the Funding Notice by the Company, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Company, to be held in
escrow until the Closing, the FPS Purchase Price (as defined below) and the Backstop Purchase Price (as defined below) by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company in the Funding
Notice against delivery by the Company to Purchaser of the Backstop Securities and Forward Purchase Securities in book-entry form. In the event the Closing does not occur on the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall promptly (but no later than
two (2) Business Days thereafter) return the FPS Purchase Price and value of the Backstop Purchase Price to the Purchaser.
2. Sale and Purchase.
(a) Forward Purchase
Securities; Backstop Securities.
(i) Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser purchase from the Company, on a private placement basis, 5,000,000 Forward Purchase Shares and 2,500,000 Forward Purchase Warrants for an aggregate purchase
price of $50,000,000 (the “FPS Purchase Price”).
(ii) Subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser may, at its sole discretion, or (in the case where the Non-FPS Amount is less than $50,000,000 immediately prior to the expiry of the Forward Purchase
Closing Period) shall, purchase from the Company, on a private placement basis, the Backstop Shares and the Backstop Warrants for an aggregate purchase price equal to the Backstop Subscription Amount (the “Backstop Purchase Price”).
2
(iii) Each Forward Purchase
Warrant and Backstop Warrant will have the same terms as the Acquiror Private Placement, and will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement. Each Forward Purchase Warrant and Backstop Warrant will entitle the holder thereof
to purchase one share of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described in the Warrant Agreement. The Forward Purchase Warrants and Backstop Warrants will become exercisable thirty (30) days
after the Merger Closing and will expire five (5) years after the Merger Closing or upon redemption or the liquidation of the Company, if earlier, as described in the Warrant Agreement.
(iv) The closing of the sale
of the Forward Purchase Securities and the Backstop Securities (the “FPS/BPS Closing”) shall be held on the Closing Date and immediately prior to the Merger
Closing. At the FPS/BPS Closing, the Company will issue to the Purchaser the Forward Purchase Securities and the Backstop Securities, if any, each registered in the name of the Purchaser.
(b) Delivery of Securities.
(i) The Company shall
register the Purchaser as the owner of the Forward Purchase Securities and the Backstop Securities purchased by the Purchaser hereunder (together, the “Securities”)
on the Company’s share register and with the Company’s transfer agent by book entry on or promptly after (but in no event more than two (2) Business Days after) the date of the FPS/BPS Closing.
(ii) Each register and book
entry for the Securities shall contain a notation, and each certificate (if any) evidencing the Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend, in substantially the following form:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. 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.”
(c) Legend Removal. If the Securities 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, then at the Purchaser’s request, the Company will cause the Company’s transfer agent to remove the legend set forth in Section
2(b)(ii). 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 transfer such Securities without any such legend; provided,
however, that the Company will not be required to deliver any such opinion, authorization or certificate or direction if it reasonably believes that removal
of the legend could result in or facilitate transfers of the Securities in violation of applicable law.
(d) Registration Rights. The Purchaser shall have registration rights with respect to the Securities as referenced in the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement that will
be entered into by and among the Company and the Purchaser and certain other parties thereto in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”) and the form of which is attached to the Merger Agreement as Exhibit D (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).
(e) Adjustments to Notional Amounts. In the event of any change to the capital structure of the Company, whether dilutive or otherwise, by way of a share dividend, share split, or any
other similar transaction however described, the number of Forward Purchase Securities and Backstop Securities, and/or the FPS Purchase Price and Backstop Subscription Amount, as applicable, will be adjusted as necessary to account for such
changes.

(d) Compliance with Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement will not result in any violation or default (i) of any provisions of its organizational documents, (ii) of any instrument, judgment, order, writ or decree to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (iii) under
any note, indenture or mortgage to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (iv) under any lease, agreement, contract or purchase order to which it is a party or by which it is bound or (v) of any provision of federal or state statute, rule 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 Securities, 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.

its actual knowledge, any other member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) that participated in the IPO (as defined below).
(o) No Other Representations and Warranties; Non-Reliance. Except for the specific representations and warranties contained in this Section 2 and in any certificate or agreement delivered pursuant hereto, none of the Purchaser nor any person acting on behalf of the Purchaser nor any of the Purchaser’s affiliates (the “Purchaser Parties”) has made, makes or shall be deemed to make any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Purchaser or the

6. Additional Agreements, Acknowledgements and Waivers of the Purchaser.
(a) Trust Account. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a Business Combination. The Purchaser further
acknowledges that, as described in the prospectus included in the registration statement of the Company (the “Prospectus”) available at xxx.xxx.xxx,
substantially all of the Company’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of the IPO and private placements of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account for the benefit of the Company, certain of
its public shareholders and the underwriters of the IPO (the “Trust Account”). The Purchaser acknowledges that, except with respect to interest earned on the
funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its franchise Tax, income Tax and similar obligations, the Trust Agreement provides that cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only (i) if the Company completes one or
more transactions that constitute a Business Combination, then to those Persons and in such amounts as described in the Prospectus; (ii) if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the allotted time period and liquidates, subject
to the terms of the Trust Agreement, to the Company in limited amounts to permit the Company to pay the costs and expenses of its liquidation and dissolution, and then to the Company’s public shareholders; and (iii) if the Company holds a
shareholder vote to amend the Company’s Governing Documents to modify the substance or timing of the obligation to redeem 100% of the shares of Acquiror Common Stock if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the allotted time
period, then for the redemption of any shares of Acquiror Common Stock properly tendered in connection with such vote. For and in consideration of the Company entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Purchaser hereby irrevocably waives any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they have or may have in the future in or to any monies in the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) and agree not to seek
recourse against the Trust Account or any funds distributed therefrom as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement and any negotiations, Contracts or agreements with the Company; provided, however, that nothing herein shall serve to limit or
prohibit the Purchaser’s right to pursue a claim against the Company for legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the consummation of the
Transactions so long as such claim would not affect the Company’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate the Acquiror Share Redemptions. The Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and
specifically relied upon by the Company to induce it to enter in this Agreement, and the Purchaser further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable under applicable Law. To the extent the Purchaser commences any
action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to the Company, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against the Company, the Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees
that its sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit the Purchaser (or any party claiming on the Purchaser’s behalf or in lieu of the Purchaser) to have any claim against the Trust
Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. In the event that the Purchaser commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to the Company,
which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or the holders of Acquiror Common Stock, whether in the form of money damages or injunctive relief, the Company shall be entitled
to recover from the Purchaser the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such action, in the event the Company prevails in such action or proceeding.
9
(b) No Short Sales. The 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 Merger Closing. For purposes of this Section 6, “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), and sales and other transactions
through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers.
(c) Voting. The Purchaser hereby agrees that if the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Transaction Proposals, then the Purchaser shall vote any Class A Shares owned by it in
favor of such Transaction Proposals. If the Purchaser fails to vote any Class A Shares it is required to vote hereunder in favor of the Transaction Proposals, the Purchaser hereby grants hereunder to the Company and any representative designated
by the Company without further action by the Purchaser or any other Person 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.
7. QEF Election Information. Until the Merger Closing, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to determine whether, in any year, the
Company or any subsidiary of the Company is deemed to be a “passive foreign investment company” (a “PFIC”) within the meaning of U.S. Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Code”). Until the Merger Closing, if the Company determines that the
Company or any subsidiary of the Company is a PFIC in any year, for the year of determination and for each year thereafter during which the Purchaser holds an equity interest in the Company, including Warrants, and Purchaser has notified the
Company that Purchaser or any of its direct or indirect shareholders is a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) that reasonably requires such information, the Company or its
subsidiary shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) make available to the Purchaser the information that may be required to make or maintain a “qualified electing fund” election under the Code with respect to the Company and (ii) furnish
the information required to be reported under Section 1298(f) of the Code.
8. Listing. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing of the Class A Shares on the NYSE (or another national
securities exchange).
9. FPS/BPS Closing Conditions.
(a) The obligation of the
Purchaser to purchase the Securities at the FPS/BPS Closing under this Agreement shall be subject to the fulfillment, at or prior to the FPS/BPS Closing of each of the following conditions, any of which, to the extent permitted by applicable laws,
may be waived by the Purchaser:
(i) The Transactions shall
be completed substantially concurrently with, and (except in the case of the Domestication) immediately following, the purchase and sale of the Securities hereunder;
(ii) The Company shall not
have delivered to the Purchaser a revocation of the Funding Notice;
(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 the FPS/BPS Closing, 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;
10
(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 the FPS/BPS Closing; and
(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 Securities.
(b) The obligation of the
Company to sell the Securities at the FPS/BPS Closing under this Agreement shall be subject to the fulfillment, at or prior to the FPS/BPS Closing of each of the following conditions, any of which, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, may be

(i) The representations and
warranties of the Purchaser 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 the FPS/BPS Closing, 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;
(ii) 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 the FPS/BPS Closing; and
(iii) 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 Securities.
10. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Final FPS/BPS Closing:
(a) by mutual written consent
of the Company and the Purchaser; or
(b) automatically:
(i) if a Business
Combination is not completed within eighteen (18) months from the closing of the IPO, or during any extension period provided for in the Company’s Memorandum and Articles as of the date hereof, or such later date as may be approved by the Company’s
shareholders; or
(ii) if the Purchaser or the
Company becomes subject to any voluntary or involuntary petition under the United States federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency law, in each case which is not withdrawn within sixty (60) days after being filed, or a receiver, fiscal agent
or similar officer is appointed by a court for business or property of the Purchaser or the Company, in each case which is not removed, withdrawn or terminated within sixty (60) days after such appointment; or
(iii) upon the termination
of the Merger Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.
11
In the event of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10, the FPS Purchase Price and the Backstop Subscription Amount (and interest thereon, if any), if previously paid, and all Purchaser’s funds paid in connection herewith shall be promptly returned to the Purchaser, 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 party shall cease; provided, however,
that nothing contained in this Section 10 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. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, from and after any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10(b), the Original Agreement shall
automatically resume and continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms as though it were never amended and restated by this Agreement.
11. Assignment
(a) The Purchaser may
transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any person at any time and from time to time and in whole or in part (each such transferee or assignee, a “Permitted
Transferee”). Upon any such transfer or assignment, the Company, the Purchaser and the applicable Permitted Transferee shall execute a signature page to this Agreement, substantially in the form of the signature page attached hereto
as Exhibit B (the “Joinder Agreement”), which shall reflect the number of Forward Purchase Securities or Backstop Securities such Permitted Transferee shall
have the right to purchase (the “Transferee Securities”), and, upon such execution, such Permitted Transferee shall be deemed to give all representations
warranties as set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement and thereafter shall have all the same rights and obligations as the Purchaser hereunder with respect to the Transferee Securities, and references herein to the “Purchaser” shall be deemed to
refer to and include any such Transferee with respect to such Permitted Transferee and to its Transferee Securities; provided, that any representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Purchaser and any such Permitted Transferee shall
be several and not joint and shall be made as to the Purchaser or any such Permitted Transferee, as applicable, as to itself only.
(b) Notwithstanding the
transfer of any of the Purchaser’s rights and obligations to any Permitted Transferee hereunder, the Purchaser shall remain liable to purchase all of the Forward Purchase Securities and Backstop Securities. In the event that a Permitted Transferee
fails to purchase any or all of its respective Transferee Securities, the Purchaser shall promptly purchase from the Company such unpurchased Transferee Securities pursuant to the terms hereof.

matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(e) Successors. All of the terms, agreements, covenants, representations, warranties, and conditions of this Agreement are binding upon, and inure to the benefit of and are
enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies,
obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
13
(f) Assignments. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein (including, but not limited to, the provisions in Section 11 hereof), 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 parties except that the Purchaser may
assign its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder to any of its affiliates.
(g) 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.
(h) 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.
(i) Governing Law. This Agreement, the entire relationship of the parties hereto, and any dispute 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.
(j) 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.
(k) Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereto hereby waive any right to a jury trial in connection with any litigation pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby.
(l) Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except with the prior written consent of the Company and the Purchaser.
(m) 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.
(n) Expenses. Each of the Company and the Purchaser will bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and 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 of The Depository Trust Company’s fees associated with the issuance of the Securities and the securities issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Securities.
14
(o) 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.
(p) 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.
(q) 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, other than with respect to disclosure by the
Purchaser to a potential Permitted Transferee.
(r) 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 specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.
(s) Most Favored Nations. The Company hereby represents and warrants that as of the date hereof, and covenants and agrees that after the date hereof, none of the agreements with any
other Person for the purchase of Class A Shares or Warrants include or will include terms, rights or other benefits that are more favorable, in any material respect, to such other Person than the terms, rights and benefits in favor of the Purchaser
under this Agreement, and the Company will not amend any of the terms, rights or benefits in, or waive any material obligation under, any of the agreements with such other Person unless, in any such case, the Purchaser has been offered in writing
the opportunity to concurrently receive the benefits of all such terms, rights and benefits or waiver. The Purchaser shall notify the Company in writing, within ten (10) days after the date it has been offered the opportunity to receive the
benefit of such terms, rights, benefits or waiver, of its election to receive any such term, right, benefit or waiver so offered.
