The aggregate Capital Calls less any amount repaid to Investor shall be due from the Company to the Investor at Closing (“Capital Due”).

1.2

Subscription. In consideration of the Capital Call(s) funded hereunder, SPAC will issue to the Investor I shares of the SPAC’s Class A Common Stock for each dollar the Investor funds pursuant to the Capital Call(s) hereunder at the close of the business combination (“Subscription Shares”). The Subscription Shares shall be subject to no transfer restrictions or any other lock-up provisions, earn outs, or other contingencies. The Subscription Shares (i) to the extent feasible and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations shall be registered as part of any registration statement issuing shares before or in connection with the De-SPAC Closing or (ii) if no such registration statement is filed in connection with the De-SPAC Closing, shall promptly be registered pursuant to the first registration statement filed by the SPAC or the surviving entity following the De-SPAC Closing, which shall be filed no later than 30 days after the De-SPAC Closing and declared effective no later than 90 days after the De-SPAC Closing. The Sponsor shall not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any securities owned by the Sponsor until the Subscription Shares have been transferred to the Investor and the registration statement has been made effective.

1.3

Return of Capital. The Capital Due shall not accrue interest and shall be repaid by the SPAC to the Sponsor upon the De-SPAC Closing. Upon any receipt of proceeds from the SPAC to the Sponsor, such proceeds up to the amount of the Capital Due will be paid to the Investor as a return of capital within 5 business days of the date of such receipt. The Sponsor shall not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any securities owned by the Sponsor until the full amount of the Capital Due has been returned and paid to the Investor. The Company, SPAC and Sponsor shall be jointly and severally obligated for such repayment. The Investor may elect at the time of such repayment to receive such payments in cash or shares of SP AC Class A Common Stock at a rate of I SPAC Class A Common Stock share for each $10 of then outstanding Capital Due previously funded by the Investor. If the SPAC liquidates without consummating a De-SP AC, any amounts remaining up to the Capital Due in the Sponsor or SPAC’s cash accounts, not including the SPAC”s trust account, will be paid to the Investor within five (5) days of the liquidation.

1.4

Default.

1.5

Wiring Instructions. Within five (5) calendar days of receiving a Capital Notice, Investor shall advance the Capital Call amount specified in the Capital Notice to Sponsor by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the wiring instructions separately provided.
