SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.6

This SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Subscription Agreement”) is entered into on August , 2021, by and among FTAC Athena Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Issuer”), and the subscriber party set forth on the signature page hereto (“Subscriber”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Combination Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, the Issuer is concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof entering into a Business Combination Agreement (as amended or modified, the “Combination Agreement”), by and between Pico Quantitative Trading Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Pico”), and Issuer, whereby the parties intend to effect a business combination between the Issuer and Pico on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (collectively, the “Transactions”);

WHEREAS, prior to the closing of the Transactions (and as more fully described in the Combination Agreement), the Issuer will domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and Part XII of the Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised) (the “Domestication”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the Transactions and contingent upon the closing of the Transactions pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Subscription Agreement, Subscriber desires to subscribe for and purchase from the Issuer that number of shares of the Issuer’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), as set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Acquired Shares”) for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Purchase Price”), and the Issuer 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 Issuer on or prior to the Closing (as defined below);

WHEREAS, the Issuer and Subscriber are executing and delivering this Subscription Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the Transactions, certain other “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or institutional “accredited investors” (as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act) (each, an “Other Subscriber”) have (severally and not jointly) entered into separate subscription agreements, substantially similar to this Agreement, with the Issuer (the “Other Subscription Agreements”), pursuant to which such investors have agreed to purchase Class A Common Stock on or prior to the Closing Date at the Purchase Price (the “Other Acquired Shares”); and

WHEREAS, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be sold by Issuer pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements equals 20,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $200,000,000.

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 the Issuer hereby agrees to issue and sell to Subscriber, upon the payment of the Purchase Price, the Acquired Shares (such subscription and issuance, the “Subscription”). Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of the Domestication, the Acquired Shares that will be issued pursuant hereto shall be shares of common stock in a Delaware corporation (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, ordinary shares in a Cayman Islands exempted company).

2. Closing.

a. The closing of the Subscription contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transactions and shall occur immediately prior thereto (but following the Domestication). Not less than five (5) business days prior to the scheduled closing date of the Transactions (the “Closing Date”), the Issuer shall provide written notice to Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”) of (i) such Closing Date, (ii) that the Issuer reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transactions to be satisfied or waived and (iii) containing wire instructions for the payment of the Purchase Price. Subscriber shall deliver to the Issuer no later than one (1) Business Day before the Closing Date (as specified in the Closing Notice or such other date as is otherwise agreed to by the Issuer and the Subscriber) the Purchase Price for the Acquired Shares by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds (i) to the account specified by the Issuer in the Closing Notice, to be held in a third-party escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) designated by the Issuer prior to the Closing Date for the benefit of the Subscriber until the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of a customary escrow agreement to be entered into by the Issuer and the escrow agent selected by the Issuer (the “Escrow Agent”) or (ii) to an account specified by the Issuer otherwise mutually agreed by the Subscriber and the Issuer (“Alternative Settlement Procedures”). On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall deliver to Subscriber (1) the Acquired Shares in book entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those set forth in this Subscription Agreement, arising under any written agreement to which Subscriber is a party or 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 (2) a copy of the records of the Issuer’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) showing Subscriber as the owner of the Acquired Shares on and as of the Closing Date (the “Subscriber’s Deliveries”). Unless otherwise provided pursuant to Alternative Settlement Procedures, upon the transfer of the Subscriber’s Deliveries by the Issuer to the Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions), the Escrow Agent shall release the Purchase Price from the Escrow Account to the Issuer. In the event the closing of the Transactions does not occur within five (5) business days of the Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, unless otherwise instructed by the Issuer and the Subscriber, the Escrow Agent or the Issuer, as applicable, shall promptly (but not later than one (1) business day thereafter) return the Purchase Price to Subscriber by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by Subscriber, and any book entries shall be deemed cancelled. Notwithstanding such return, unless and until this Subscription Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 6 hereof, (i) a failure to close on the expected 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 (A) to redeliver funds to the Issuer following the Issuer’s delivery to Subscriber of a new Closing Notice and (B) to consummate the Closing upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.

b. The Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction, or waiver by each of the parties hereto, of the conditions that, on the Closing Date:

(i) solely with respect to Subscriber, the representations and warranties made by the Issuer in this Subscription Agreement (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3(b), (c) and (h)) shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date (other than those representations and warranties expressly made as of an earlier date, which shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date, and other than those representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect (as defined below), which shall be true and correct in all respects as of the Closing Date), and the representations and warranties made by the Issuer set forth in Sections 3(b), (c) and (h) shall be true and correct in all respects as of the Closing Date (other than those representations and warranties expressly made as of an earlier date, which shall be true and correct in all respects as of such date), in each case without giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions;

(ii) solely with respect to the Issuer, the representations and warranties made by the Subscriber in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date (other than those representations and warranties expressly made as of an earlier date, which shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date, and other than those representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality, which shall be true and correct in all respects as of the Closing Date), in each case without giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions;

(iii) solely with respect to Subscriber, the Issuer shall have performed and complied in all material respects with all covenants and agreements required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed or complied with by it at or prior to the Closing;

(iv) no governmental authority having jurisdiction shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any material judgment, order, law, rule or regulation (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect, or threatened in writing to do so, in each case that has the effect of restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement;

(v) solely with respect to Subscriber, the Issuer shall have made such filings with Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) as are necessary for the listing of the Acquired Shares and Other Acquired Shares, such Acquired Shares and Other Acquired Shares shall have been approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance, and no suspension of the qualification of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock for offering or sale or trading in any applicable jurisdiction and no suspension or removal from listing of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock shall have occurred;

(vi) the Issuer’s stockholders shall have approved the issuance of the Acquired Shares and Other Acquired Shares as and if required by Nasdaq rules;

(vii) solely with respect to Subscriber, there shall have been no amendment or modification or waiver of any provisions of the Combination Agreement (as the same exists on the date hereof as provided to Subscriber) 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 previously consented to in writing to such amendment or modification;

(viii) solely with respect to Subscriber, there shall have been no amendment, waiver or modification to the Other Subscription Agreements that materially benefits any such Other Subscriber thereunder (other than terms particular to the legal or regulatory requirements of such Other Subscriber or its affiliates or related persons) unless Subscriber has been offered substantially the same benefits; and

(ix) all conditions precedent to the closing of the Transactions set forth in the Combination Agreement shall have been satisfied or waived by the party entitled to the benefit thereof under the Combination Agreement (other than those conditions that may only be satisfied at the closing of the Transactions, but subject to satisfaction or waiver by such party of such conditions as of the closing of the Transactions) and the closing of the Transactions shall be scheduled to occur substantially concurrently with or immediately following the Closing.

c. At the Closing, the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional actions as the parties reasonably may deem necessary in order to consummate the Subscription as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

3. Issuer Representations and Warranties. The Issuer represents and warrants to Subscriber that:

e. There are no securities or instruments issued by or to which the Issuer 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, including such provisions in the Issuer’s Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”), pursuant to the terms of the Issuer’s organizational documents (as amended as of the Closing Date).

g. The Issuer 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 Issuer of this Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Acquired Shares), other than (i) the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of the Registration Statement (as defined below), (ii) filings required by applicable state securities laws, (iii) the filing of a Notice of Exempt Offering of Securities on Form D with the Commission under Regulation D of the Securities Act, (iv) the filings required in accordance with Section 9(r) of this Subscription Agreement, (v) those required by Nasdaq, including with respect to obtaining approval of the Issuer’s shareholders, (vi) any filing to effectuate the Domestication and (vii) any filing, the failure of which to obtain would not be reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

As of the date hereof, the issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares are, and as of the Closing Date, the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock will be, registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and listed for trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “FTAA.” There is no suit, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Issuer, threatened against the Issuer by Nasdaq or the Commission with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister the Class A Ordinary Shares or the Class A Common Stock or prohibit or terminate the listing of the Class A Ordinary Shares or Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq, excluding, for the purposes of clarity, the customary ongoing review by Nasdaq of the Issuer’s continued listing application in connection with the Transactions. Other than to effectuate the Domestication, the Issuer has taken no action that is designed to terminate the registration of the Class A Ordinary Shares or the Class A Common Stock under the Exchange Act or the listing of the Class A Ordinary Shares or Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq and is in compliance in all material respects with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq.

k. Assuming the accuracy of Subscriber’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 of this Subscription Agreement and each of the Other Subscribers under their respective Other Subscription Agreement, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Acquired Shares or the Other Acquired Shares by the Issuer to Subscriber and to the Other Subscribers, as applicable, in the manner contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements. The Acquired Shares and the Other Acquired Shares (i) were not offered to Subscriber by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are not being offered to Subscriber in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws.

l. Neither the Issuer nor any person acting on its behalf has engaged or will engage in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D of the Securities Act) in connection with any offer or sale of the Acquired Shares.

m. Except for any Alternative Settlement Procedures, the Issuer has not, and to the Issuer’s knowledge none of its affiliates has, entered into any Other Subscription Agreement (or side letter or similar agreement in respect thereof) on terms or conditions (economic or otherwise) that are materially more favorable to such Subscriber or investor than as set forth in this Subscription Agreement; provided, however, that Subscriber acknowledges that the subscription agreement entered into with FTAC Athena PIPE Sponsor, LLC may provide that such investor may increase the number of Acquired Shares to be purchased under such agreement at any time prior to Closing.

n. Each report, statement and form (including exhibits and other information incorporated therein) filed by the Issuer with the Commission under Sections 13(a), 14(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the Issuer’s initial registration of the Class A Ordinary Shares (collectively, the “SEC Reports”) when filed complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder. None of the SEC Reports filed under the Exchange Act (except to the extent that information contained in any SEC Report has been superseded by a later filed SEC Report) contained, when filed, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading, in the case of any SEC Report that is a registration statement, or included, when filed, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in the case of all other SEC Reports. The Issuer has timely filed each report, statement, schedule, prospectus, and registration statement that the Issuer was required to file with the Commission since its inception other than its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2021. There are no material outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters from the Commission Staff with respect to any of the Issuer’s filings with the Commission (the “SEC Documents”). In addition, the Issuer has made available to Subscriber (including via the Commission’s XXXXX system) a copy of the SEC Reports since its initial registration of the Class A Ordinary Shares with the Commission. Each of the financial statements (including, in each case, any notes thereto) contained in the SEC Documents was prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q of the Commission), each complied in all material respects with the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto (including the relevant interpretations thereof) as in effect at the time of filing and except as set forth in a later filed SEC Report, each fairly presents, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Issuer as at the respective dates thereof and for the respective periods indicated therein.

o. Except for such matters as have not had and would not be reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, there is no (i) investigation, action, suit, claim or other proceeding, in each case by or before any governmental authority pending, or, to the knowledge of the Issuer, threatened against the Issuer or (ii) judgment, decree, injunction, ruling or order of any governmental entity outstanding against the Issuer.

p. Except for placement fees payable to the Placement Agents (as defined below), the Issuer 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 stockholder or affiliate of the Issuer. The Issuer is solely responsible for the payment of any fees, costs, expenses (including any transfer or other taxes) and commissions of the Placement Agents.

q. Except as provided in this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements, none of the Issuer, its subsidiaries or any of their affiliates, nor any person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Acquired Shares under the Securities Act, whether through integration with prior offerings pursuant to Rule 502(a) of the Securities Act or otherwise.

r. Neither the Issuer nor any of its subsidiaries has taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, liquidation, administration or winding up or failed to pay its debts when due, nor does the Issuer or any subsidiary have any knowledge or reason to believe that any of their respective creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or seek to commence an administration.

s. Except for discussions specifically regarding the offer and sale of the Acquired Shares, the Issuer confirms that neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf has provided Subscriber or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute material, non-public information concerning the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, other than with respect to the Transactions and the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement. The Issuer understands and confirms that Subscriber will rely on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Issuer. Except with respect to the Transactions and the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements, no event or circumstance has occurred which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure at or before the date hereof or announcement by the Issuer but which has not been so publicly disclosed.

t. The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, including, without limitation, Section 4(e) of this Subscription Agreement, the Acquired Shares may be pledged by Subscriber in connection with a bona fide margin agreement, which shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Acquired Shares hereunder, and Subscriber effecting a pledge of Acquired Shares shall not be required to provide the Issuer with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Issuer pursuant to this Subscription Agreement; provided that Subscriber and its pledgee shall be required to comply with the provisions of Section 4(e) hereof in order to effect a sale, transfer or assignment of Acquired Shares to such pledgee. The Issuer hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Acquired Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Acquired Shares to such pledgee by Subscriber.

Subscriber acknowledges that the Acquired Shares will not be eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act. Subscriber understands and agrees that the Acquired Shares will be subject to the foregoing restrictions and, as a result of such restrictions, Subscriber may not be able to readily resell the Acquired Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Acquired Shares for an indefinite period of time. Subscriber understands that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of any of the Acquired Shares.

g. Subscriber understands and agrees that Subscriber is purchasing the Acquired Shares directly from the Issuer and that, pursuant to the Domestication, the Issuer will become a Delaware corporation on or before the Closing Date. Subscriber further acknowledges that there have been no representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made to Subscriber by the Placement Agents, the Issuer or any of their respective officers, directors, affiliates, partners, agents or representatives, or any other person or entity, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by the Issuer and expressly included in this Subscription Agreement.

Subscriber further represents and agrees that, except for the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by Issuer herein, on which it may rely, it is relying exclusively on its own sources of information, investment analysis and due diligence (including professional advice Subscriber deems appropriate) with respect to the Subscription, the Acquired Shares and the business, condition (financial and otherwise), management, operations, properties and prospects of the Issuer, including but not limited to all business, legal, regulatory, accounting, credit and tax matters. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it has received, reviewed and understood the offering materials made available to it in connection with the Subscription and such other information as Subscriber deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Acquired Shares, including with respect to the Issuer, Pico and the Transactions. Subscriber represents and agrees that Subscriber and Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information from the Issuer directly as Subscriber and such Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Acquired Shares. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it has not relied on any statements or other information provided by the Placement Agents or any of the affiliates thereof in any capacity with respect to the Transactions, the Issuer, Pico or its decision to purchase the Acquired Shares. Subscriber further acknowledges that the information provided to Subscriber (other than the information reflected in the representations and warranties made herein) is preliminary and subject to change, and that any changes to such information, including, without limitation, any changes based on updated information, shall in no way affect Subscriber’s obligation to purchase the Acquired Shares hereunder.

Xxxxxx Securities LLC, each acting as a joint lead placement agent for the Issuer (collectively, the “Placement Agents”), and the Acquired Shares were offered to Subscriber solely by direct contact between Subscriber and the Issuer. Subscriber did not become aware of this offering of the Acquired Shares, nor were the Acquired Shares offered to Subscriber, by any other means. Subscriber acknowledges that the Issuer represents and warrants that the Acquired Shares (i) were not offered by any form of general advertising or, to its knowledge, general solicitation, and (ii) to its knowledge are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws.

Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that no Placement Agent or its respective directors, officers, employees, representatives and controlling persons have made any independent investigation with respect to the Issuer or the Acquired Shares or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of any information supplied to Subscriber by the Issuer.

l. Subscriber acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Acquired Shares, including those set forth in the SEC Documents. Subscriber qualifies as a sophisticated institutional investor and has such knowledge and experience in financial, business and private equity matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities, including Subscriber’s investment in the Acquired Shares, and Subscriber has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as Subscriber has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision.

m. Subscriber represents and acknowledges that, alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), Subscriber has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Acquired Shares and determined that the Acquired Shares are a suitable investment for Subscriber and that Subscriber is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of Subscriber’s investment in the Issuer.

5. Registration Rights.

a. The Issuer agrees that, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15)_ business days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Date”), the Issuer will file with the Commission (at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Acquired Shares (the “Registration Statement”), and the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day (or 80th calendar day if the Commission notifies the Issuer that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Closing and (ii) the 10th business day after the date the Issuer 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”); provided, however, that if the Commission is closed for operations due to a government shutdown, the Effectiveness Date shall be extended by the same amount of days that the Commission remains closed for operations, provided, further, that the Issuer’s obligations to include the Acquired Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Issuer such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Issuer held by Subscriber, the intended method of disposition of the Acquired Shares and such other information as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer to effect the registration of the Acquired Shares, and Subscriber shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that the Issuer shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder; provided that Subscriber shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Acquired Shares. Any failure by the Issuer to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Date or to cause the effectiveness of such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Issuer of its obligations to file or cause the effectiveness of the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 5. The Issuer will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to Subscriber for review at least two (2) business days in advance of filing the Registration Statement. In no event shall Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the Commission or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority; provided, that, if the Commission or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority requests that Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, Subscriber will have an opportunity to withdraw its Acquired Shares from the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Issuer from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Acquired Shares by Subscriber, any Other Acquired Shares by any Other Subscribers or Class A Common Stock by any other selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement, the Issuer will promptly notify the Subscriber of such event, and such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Acquired Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Acquired Shares as is permitted by the SEC. In such event, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional Acquired Shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Issuer shall amend the Registration Statement or file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by the Commission, one or more registration statements to register the resale of those Registrable Securities (as defined below) that were not registered on the initial Registration Statement, as so amended and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment or Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable. The Issuer will, at its own expense, use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the continuous effectiveness of the Registration Statement until all such securities cease to be Registrable Securities (as defined below). The Issuer will file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable Subscriber to resell Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144, as applicable, qualify the Registrable Securities for listing on the applicable stock exchange, update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include Registrable Securities and provide customary notice to holders of Registrable Securities. “Registrable Securities” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the Acquired Shares and any other equity security of the Issuer issued or issuable with respect to the Acquired Shares by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event or otherwise. As to any particular Registrable Securities, once issued, such securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities at the earliest of (A) the date on which Subscriber ceases to hold any Registrable Securities, (B) the date on which all Registrable Securities held by Subscriber 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, other than the requirement for the Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c), (C) the date on which such Registrable Securities shall have ceased to be outstanding or (D) two years from the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The period of time during which the Issuer is required hereunder to keep a Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “Registration Period.”

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

(i) except for such times as the Issuer 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 the Issuer 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, for the duration of the Registration Period;

(ii) advise Subscriber, as promptly as practicable but in any event within five (5) 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 prospectus included therein or for additional information;

(3) 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 the Issuer 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 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.

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

(iii) 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) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated above, except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Issuer 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) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Acquired Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock has been listed;

(vi) allow Subscriber to review disclosure specifically regarding Subscriber in the Registration Statement on reasonable advance notice; and

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

c. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer 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 the Issuer or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event the Issuer’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Issuer in the Registration Statement of material information that the Issuer 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 Issuer’s board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Issuer may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two (2) 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 the Issuer (which notice shall not contain material non-public information) 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 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 the Issuer 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 Issuer 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 Issuer unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Issuer, Subscriber will deliver to the Issuer 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 (1) 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 (2) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. For purposes of this Section 5, “Acquired Share” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the Acquired Shares purchased hereby and any other equity security issued or issuable with respect to the Acquired Shares by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event or otherwise.

d. Subscriber may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Issuer requesting that Subscriber not receive notices from the Issuer otherwise required by this Section 5; 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) the Issuer 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 the Issuer 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(d)) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Issuer will so notify Subscriber, within one (1) business day of Subscriber’s notification to the Issuer, by delivering to Subscriber a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide Subscriber with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event immediately upon its availability.

e. Indemnification.

(i) The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Subscriber, its directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, partners, members, managers, stockholders, affiliates, investment advisors and sub-advisors, and each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and each of their directors, members, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) (“Losses”) that arise out of or are caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or incorporated by reference therein), prospectus included in any Registration Statement (“Prospectus”) or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or document incorporated by reference therein or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Issuer by or on behalf of such Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section (e) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Issuer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall the Issuer be liable for any Losses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon a violation which occurs (A) in connection with any failure of such person to deliver or cause to be delivered a Prospectus made available by the Issuer in a timely manner or (B) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of Subscriber in violation of this Subscription Agreement.

(ii) In connection with any Registration Statement in which Subscriber is participating, Subscriber shall furnish to the Issuer in writing such information and affidavits as the Issuer reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus. Subscriber agrees, severally and not jointly with any Other Subscriber or other person that is a party to the Other Subscription Agreements, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the Issuer, its directors and officers, agents, employees and each person who controls the Issuer (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and each of their directors, members, officers, employees and agents against any Losses resulting from or arising out of any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided, however, that in no event shall the liability of each such Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Subscriber from the sale of Acquired Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(iii) Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (1) 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 right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (2) 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. An indemnifying party who 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 legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(iv) The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, employee, agent, affiliate or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Acquired Shares.

(v) If the indemnification provided under this Section 5(e) from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Losses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that in no event shall the liability of Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber from the sale of Acquired Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 5(e)(i), (ii) and (iii) above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 5(e)(v) from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

6. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect (except for those provisions expressly contemplated to survive termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with Section 9(d)), and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof (except for those provisions expressly contemplated to survive termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with Section 9(d)), upon the earlier to occur of (a) such date and time as the Combination Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 2 of this Subscription Agreement are not satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date, or become incapable of being satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date, and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated at the Closing or (d) the Outside Date; provided, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover Losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach. The Issuer shall promptly notify Subscriber in writing (including via email) of the termination of the Combination Agreement. Upon the termination hereof, any monies paid by Subscriber to the Issuer in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) business day) be returned in full to Subscriber by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by Subscriber, without any deduction for or on account of any tax withholding, charges or set-off.

7. Additional Agreements and Waivers of Subscriber.

a. Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber acknowledges that the Issuer is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Issuer and one or more businesses or assets. Subscriber further acknowledges that, as described in the Issuer’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated February 22, 2021 (the “February 2021 Prospectus”), available at xxx.xxx, substantially all of the Issuer’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of the Issuer’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of its public shareholders and the underwriters of its initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Issuer to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the February 2021 Prospectus. For and in consideration of the Issuer entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber, on behalf of itself and its affiliates and representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind they have or may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse or make or bring any action, suit, claim or other proceeding against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Acquired Shares, regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability; provided however, that nothing in this Section 7 shall be deemed to limit any Subscriber’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of such Subscriber’s record or beneficial ownership of securities of the Issuer acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, including but not limited to any redemption right with respect to any such securities of the Issuer. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it shall not have any redemption rights with respect to the Acquired Shares pursuant to the Issuer’s organizational documents in connection with the Transactions or any other business combination, any subsequent liquidation of the Trust Account or the Issuer or otherwise. In the event Subscriber has any claim against the Issuer as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Acquired Shares, it shall pursue such claim solely against the Issuer and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the Trust Account or any monies or other assets in the Trust Account. This paragraph shall survive any termination of this Subscription Agreement.

b. No Hedging. Subscriber hereby agrees that neither it, nor any person or entity acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it, shall execute any short sales or engage in other hedging transactions of any kind with respect to the Acquired Shares during the period from the date of this Subscription Agreement through the Closing (or such earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, nothing in this Section 7(b) shall prohibit such persons from engaging in hedging transactions with respect to other securities of the Issuer, including Class A Ordinary Shares or Class A Common Stock acquired in open market purchases, so long as such person does not create any “put equivalent position,” as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act, or short sale positions, with respect to the Acquired Shares, nor shall this Section 7(b) prohibit any other investment adviser with the Subscriber that has no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of Subscriber’s participation in this transaction (including Subscriber’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any short sales or engaging in other hedging transactions; and in the case of a Subscriber that is a multi-managed investment bank or vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers or desks manage separate portions of such Subscriber’s assets and the portfolio managers or desks have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers or desks managing other portions of such Subscriber’s assets, this Section 7(b) shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager or desk that made the investment decision to purchase the Acquired Shares covered by this Subscription Agreement.

8. Issuer’s Covenants

a. Except as contemplated herein, the Issuer, its subsidiaries and their respective affiliates shall not, and shall cause any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing to not, take any action or steps that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Acquired Shares under the Securities Act.

b. With a view to making available to Subscriber the benefits of Rule 144 or any other similar rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit Subscriber to sell securities of the Issuer to the public without registration, the Issuer agrees, for so long as Subscriber holds Acquired Shares, to:

(i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

The Issuer shall be responsible for the fees of the Transfer Agent and all DTC fees associated with such issuance. The Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts at its own expense to cause its legal counsel to deliver an opinion, if necessary, to the Transfer Agent in connection with the instruction under in this Section 8(d) to the effect that the removal of such restrictive legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act, in each case upon the receipt of customary representations and other documentation, if any, from the Issuer as reasonably requested by the Issuer, its counsel, or the Transfer Agent, establishing that restrictive legends are no longer required.
