(the “Issuer”), and (“Subscriber”).
WHEREAS, Pace, Playa Hotels & Resorts B.V., a Dutch private limited liability company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) (“Playa”), and the other parties named therein have entered into that certain Transaction Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Transaction Agreement”) pursuant to which Pace and Playa will be combined into the Issuer, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (the “Transaction”);
WHEREAS, in connection with the Transaction, Subscriber desires to subscribe for and purchase from Pace that number of Pace’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Shares”), set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Base Shares”) for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, or the aggregate purchase price set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Purchase Price”), and Pace desires to issue and sell to Subscriber the Base Shares in consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price by or on behalf of Subscriber to Pace on or prior to the Closing (as defined below);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Transaction, Subscriber’s Acquired Shares shall be exchanged for ordinary shares, par value euro (EUR) 0.10 per share, of the Issuer (the “Issuer Shares”), in the same manner as the Class A Shares held by each other holder of Class A Shares immediately prior to consummation of the Transaction (such Issuer Shares received by Subscriber in the Transaction, the “Acquired Issuer Shares”); from and after consummation of the Transaction, references herein to the “Acquired Shares” shall be deemed to refer to and include the Acquired Issuer Shares;
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 Pace hereby agrees to issue and sell to Subscriber, upon the payment of the Purchase Price, the Acquired Shares (such subscription and issuance, the “Subscription”).
2. Closing.
a. The closing of the Subscription contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction and shall occur immediately prior to the merger of Pace into a subsidiary of the Issuer in connection therewith.

Subscriber shall deliver to Pace at least one (1) business day prior to the Closing Date, to be held in escrow until the Closing, the Purchase Price for the Acquired Shares by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by Pace in the Closing Notice. On the Closing Date, Pace shall deliver to Subscriber the Acquired Shares in book entry form and a copy of the register of members of Pace showing Subscriber as the owner of the Acquired Shares, and the Purchase Price shall be released from escrow automatically and without further action by Pace or Subscriber.

(iii) no governmental authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any judgment, order, rule or regulation (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; and
(iv) all conditions precedent to the closing of the Transaction, including the approval of Pace’s shareholders, shall have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that may only be satisfied at the closing of the Transaction, but subject to satisfaction of such conditions as of the closing of the Transaction).

h. In making its decision to purchase the Acquired Shares, Subscriber represents that it has relied solely upon independent investigation made by Subscriber.

Subscriber represents and agrees that Subscriber and Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information 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.
i. Subscriber became aware of this offering of the Acquired Shares solely by means of direct contact between Subscriber and Pace, and the Acquired Shares were offered to Subscriber solely by direct contact between Subscriber and Pace.

k. Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), Subscriber represents and acknowledges that 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 Pace. Subscriber acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.
l. Subscriber understands and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Acquired Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.
6

6. Registration Rights. The Issuer agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days after the consummation of the Transaction, the Issuer will file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement registering the resale of the Acquired Issuer Shares (the “Registration Statement”), and the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof; provided, however, that the Issuer’s obligations to include the Acquired Issuer 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 and the intended method of disposition of the Acquired Issuer Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer to effect the registration of the Acquired Issuer Shares, and 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.
7. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (a) such date and time as the Transaction 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 or (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 and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated at the Closing; provided, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof
7
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. Pace shall promptly notify Subscriber of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement.
8. Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber acknowledges that Pace is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving Pace and one or more businesses or assets. Subscriber further acknowledges that, as described in Pace’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated September 10, 2015 (the “Prospectus”) available at xxx.xxx.xxx, substantially all of Pace’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of Pace’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 Pace, its public shareholders and the underwriters of Pace’s initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to Pace to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of Pace entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber, on behalf of itself and its Representatives, hereby irrevocable waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind they have or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement.
