Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Issuer and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith; further, no notice shall be required of such pledge; provided, that the Subscriber and its pledgee shall be required to comply with other provisions of this Section 8 in order to effect a sale, transfer or assignment of Subscriber Shares to such pledgee. The Issuer will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of the Subscriber Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Subscriber Shares.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.
(iv) Subject to applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the interpretations of the Commission thereunder and any requirements of the Issuer’s transfer agent, the Issuer shall ensure that instruments, whether certificated or uncertificated, evidencing the Subscriber Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 8(a)(iii)), ((A) following any sale of such Subscriber Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), or (B) if such Subscriber Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions.
(v) The Subscriber agrees with the Issuer that the Subscriber will sell any Subscriber Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that, if Subscriber Shares are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from instruments representing Subscriber Shares as set forth in this Section 8 is predicated upon the Issuer’s reliance upon this understanding.

Until the earliest of (i) the first date on which the Subscriber can sell all of its Subscriber Shares under Rule 144 without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such securities that may be sold and (ii) two (2) years from the Initial Closing Date, the Issuer covenants to maintain the registration of the Issuer Shares under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Issuer after the effective date of registration of the Issuer Shares pursuant to the Exchange Act.

(d) Non-Public Information. Following the Disclosure Time or otherwise as required by applicable law, each of the Company and the Issuer covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other person acting on its behalf, will provide the Subscriber with any information that constitutes, or the Company or the Issuer, as applicable, reasonably believes constitutes, material non-public information, unless prior thereto the Subscriber shall have consented in writing to the receipt of such information and agreed with the Company or the Issuer, as applicable, to keep such information confidential.

(e) Listing of Subscriber Shares. The Issuer hereby agrees to cause all Subscriber Shares to be listed on the Nasdaq or the NYSE, as determined by the Issuer, and to ensure and maintain the eligibility of the Subscriber Shares for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.
(f) Other Subscription Agreements. The Issuer and Company hereby agree that no Other Subscription Agreements will be amended in any material respect following the date of this Subscription Agreement, and each Other Subscription Agreement (other than the Forward Purchase Contract) will reflect the same Purchase Price per Subscriber Committed Share and terms that are not more favorable to such Other Subscriber thereunder than the terms of this Subscription Agreement.
17
(g) Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. The Subscriber covenants that neither it, nor any affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it, has executed or will execute any purchases or sales of any of the Company’s securities during the period that commenced at the time that the Subscriber first learned of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 8(c). The Subscriber covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 8(c), the Subscriber will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of the Transactions and the transactions contemplated hereby, provided that Subscriber is permitted to disclose such items to its and its affiliates’ representatives, employees, advisers, and counsel on a need to know basis and who are obligated to keep such information confidential and agree not to trade on any such confidential information, or otherwise where required pursuant to applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, the Issuer and the Company expressly acknowledge and agree that (i) the Subscriber makes no representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 8(c), and (ii) the Subscriber shall not be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 8(c).

(h) Subscriber Undertaking. The Issuer may request from the Subscriber such additional information as the Issuer may deem reasonably necessary to evaluate the eligibility of the Subscriber to acquire the Subscriber Shares, and the Subscriber shall promptly provide such information to the Issuer upon such request, to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with its internal policies and procedures and within Subscriber’s possession and control or otherwise readily available to Subscriber, and provided that the Issuer agrees to keep confidential any such information provided by the Subscriber.
(i) No Short Sales. The Subscriber hereby agrees that, from the date of this Agreement until the Effectiveness Date, neither Subscriber nor any person or entity acting on behalf of Subscriber or pursuant to any understanding with Subscriber will engage in any Short Sales with respect to securities of the Issuer or the Company. For purposes of this Section 8(i), “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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) this Section 8(i) shall not apply to ordinary course, non-speculative hedging transactions entered into at a time when the price of a share of Company Class A Common Stock or an Issuer Share, as reported on the Trading Market, is above $10.00 (any such trade, a “Permitted Hedge”) (but Sections 8(j) and (k) shall apply), (B) nothing herein shall prohibit other entities under common management with Subscriber that have no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of Subscriber’s participation in the Transaction (including Subscriber’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any Short Sales and (C) in the case of a Subscriber that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Subscriber’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Subscriber’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Subscriber Shares.
(j) If, prior to the Initial Closing, the Subscriber has entered into any Permitted Hedge and Subscriber has not closed out of such Permitted Hedge as of the Initial Closing, then notwithstanding Section 2 above, Subscriber shall not be issued any additional shares pursuant to Section 2(b), regardless of the Adjustment Period VWAP.
(k) In addition, if the Subscriber enters into any Permitted Hedge after the Initial Closing and prior to the Additional Closing, then notwithstanding Section 2 above (and regardless of the Subscriber’s net position), Subscriber shall not be issued any additional shares pursuant to Section 2(b), regardless of the Adjustment Period VWAP.
18
9. 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) the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement; (b) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; or (c) written notice by the Issuer to the Subscriber, or the Subscriber to the Issuer, to terminate this Subscription Agreement if the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated on or prior to the “Agreement End Date” as defined in the Transaction Agreement, as it may be amended pursuant to the Transaction Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and (ii) each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover reasonable and documented losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach. The Issuer shall notify the Subscriber of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement and the provisions of this Section 9 and Sections 11 and 12 will survive any termination of this Subscription Agreement and continue indefinitely.
10. Registration Rights.
(a) The Issuer agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days after the Initial 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 Subscriber Shares (the initial registration statement and any other registration statement that may be filed by the Issuer under this Section 10, the “Registration Statement”). The Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the Commission notifies the Issuer that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Transaction Closing and (ii) the second (2nd) 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, provided, however, that the Issuer may delay effectiveness of the Registration Statement as may be necessary or advisable in order to permit the registration for resale of the Subscriber Additional Shares (such earlier date as may be delayed, the “Effectiveness Date”). The Issuer agrees that the Issuer will cause such Registration Statement or another registration statement (which may be a “shelf” registration statement) to remain effective until the earlier of (i) two (2) years from the date of effectiveness of the initial Registration Statement, (ii) the date on which the Subscriber ceases to hold the Subscriber Shares covered by such Registration Statement, or (iii) the first date on which the Subscriber can sell all of its Subscriber Shares under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without restriction, including without limitation, any volume or manner of sale restrictions and without the requirement for the Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable). The Issuer’s obligations to include the Subscriber Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Issuer such information regarding the Subscriber, the securities of the Issuer held by the Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Subscriber Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer to effect the registration of the Subscriber Shares (including disclosure of its beneficial ownership of the Subscriber Shares, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act), and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling shareholder in similar situations, provided that the 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 Subscriber Shares. Any failure by the Issuer to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Date or for the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Issuer of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth in this Section 10. In no event shall the Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the Commission; provided, that if the Commission requests that the Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Subscriber will have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, to either (i) have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement, in which case the Issuer’s obligation to register the Subscriber Shares will be deemed satisfied, or (ii) be included as such in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Issuer from including any or all of the Issuer 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 Issuer Shares by the applicable shareholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number Issuer Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Issuer Shares as is permitted by the Commission. In such event, the number of Issuer Shares to be registered for each selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement (including the number of Subscriber Shares to be registered for the Subscriber) shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional Issuer Shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Issuer shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement to register such additional Issuer Shares (including the applicable Subscriber Shares) and cause such amendment or new Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable thereafter. In addition, in the event the Issuer is unable to register the Subscriber Additional Shares on the Registration Statement (including by delaying the effectiveness thereof), the Issuer shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement to register such Subscriber Additional Shares and cause such amendment or new Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable thereafter. For purposes of this Section 10, “Issuer Shares” and “Subscriber Shares” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the Issuer Shares or Subscriber Shares, as applicable, and any other equity security of the Issuer issued or issuable with respect to such Issuer Shares or Subscriber Shares by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event or otherwise.
19
(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 the 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;
(ii) advise Subscriber within three (3) Business Days:
(A) 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;
(B) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;
20
(C) 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;
(D) of the receipt by the Issuer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Subscriber Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and
(E) 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 included therein 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 listed above, 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 (A) through (C) 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 Subscriber 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 Subscriber Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which Issuer Shares have been listed; and
(vi) use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Subscriber Shares contemplated hereby.
21
(c) The Issuer may delay filing or suspend the use of any such registration statement (x) if it determines, upon advice of external legal counsel, that in order for the registration statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, (y) as may be necessary in connection with the preparation and filing of a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement following the filing of the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its first completed fiscal year, or (z) if the Issuer’s Board of Directors, upon advice of external legal counsel, reasonably believes that such filing or use would materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, or would require premature disclosure of information that could materially adversely affect the Issuer (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Issuer may not delay filing or suspend use of any registration statement on more than two occasions or for more than forty-five (45) consecutive calendar days or more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case in any 12-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Issuer of the happening of any Suspension Event (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information) 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, the Subscriber agrees that it will (i) immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Subscriber Shares under the Registration Statement until the Subscriber receives (A) (x) copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and (y) notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or (B) notice from the Issuer that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Issuer unless otherwise required by applicable law. If so directed by the Issuer, the Subscriber will deliver to the Issuer or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion, destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscriber Shares in the Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscriber Shares shall not apply to (i) the extent the 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 (ii) copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. In addition to the removal of restrictive legends at the Subscriber’s request contemplated by Section 8(a)(iv), during any periods that a Registration Statement registering the resale of the Subscriber Shares is effective or when the Subscriber Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, the Issuer shall, at its expense, cause the Issuer’s transfer agent to remove any restrictive legends on any Subscriber Shares sold by the Subscriber within two (2) Business Days of the date that such Subscriber Shares are sold and the Subscriber notifies the Issuer of such sale (and prior to removal the Subscriber provides the Issuer with any customary representations in connection therewith). In connection therewith, if required by the Issuer’s transfer agent, the Issuer 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 issue such Subscriber Shares without any such legend.
(d) From and after the Initial Closing, the Issuer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Subscriber (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), and the officers, employees, affiliates, directors, partners, members, managers, investment advisors, attorneys and agents of the Subscriber, and each person, if any, who controls the Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (the Subscriber and each of the foregoing, a “Subscriber Indemnified Party”), from and against any losses, judgments, claims, damages, liabilities or reasonable costs or expenses (including reasonable external attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”), that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Issuer of the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 10, except to the extent that such untrue or alleged untrue statements or omissions or alleged omissions are based solely upon information furnished in writing to the Issuer by a Subscriber Indemnified Party expressly for use therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Issuer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).
22
(e) From and after the Initial Closing, the Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly with any Other Subscriber, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, and the officers, employees, affiliates, directors, partners, members, managers, attorneys and agents of the Issuer, and each person, if any, who controls the Issuer (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), from and against any Losses, that arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent that such untrue or alleged untrue statements or omissions or alleged omissions are based solely upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Issuer by a Subscriber Indemnified Party expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of the Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Subscriber upon the sale of the Subscriber Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Subscriber’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).
(f) If the indemnification provided under this Section 10 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. 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 subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 10 and deemed to include 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 10(f) from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Each indemnifying party’s obligation to make a contribution pursuant to this Section 10(f) shall be individual, not joint, and in no event shall the liability of the Subscriber under this Section 10(f) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Subscriber upon the sale of the Subscriber Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(g) 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.
23
(h) 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 Subscriber Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.
11. Trust Account Waiver. The Subscriber hereby represents and warrants that it has had the opportunity to read the IPO Prospectus and understands that the Company has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and the overallotment shares acquired by its underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders (including overallotment shares acquired by the Company’s underwriters, the “Public Stockholders”), and that, except as otherwise described in the IPO Prospectus, the Company may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Stockholders in the event they elect to redeem their Company shares in connection with the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination (as such term is used in the IPO Prospectus) (the “Business Combination”) or in connection with an extension of its deadline to consummate a Business Combination, (b) to the Public Stockholders if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24 months after the closing of the IPO and is subject to further extension by amendment to the Company’s organizational documents, (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, amounts necessary to pay for any taxes and up to $100,000 in dissolution expenses, or (d) to the Company after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of the Company entering into this Subscription Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Subscriber hereby agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Subscription Agreement, Subscriber does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have, and waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claims of any kind it has or may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Subscriber Shares, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account (or any distributions therefrom directly or indirectly to Public Stockholders (“Public Distributions”), and agrees not to seek recourse or make or bring any action, suit, claim or other proceeding against the Trust Account or Public Distributions as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Subscriber Shares, regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability. To the extent the Subscriber commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, as a result of or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Subscriber Shares, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against the Company or its Representatives, the Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Subscriber’s sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account (other than Public Distributions) and that such claim shall not permit the Subscriber (or any person claiming on its behalf or in lieu of any of it) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 11 to the contrary, nothing herein shall (x) serve to limit or prohibit the Subscriber’s right to pursue a claim against Company for legal relief against assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief, (y) serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Subscriber may have in the future against Company’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account to the Company (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, funds released to redeeming stockholders of the Company) and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds), or (z) be deemed to limit the Subscriber’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of the Subscriber’s record or beneficial ownership of Company Common Stock other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, including but not limited to any redemption right with respect to any such securities of the Company. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Representatives” with respect to any person shall mean such person’s affiliates and its and its affiliate’s respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, advisors, agents and other representatives.
24
12. Miscellaneous.
(a) Transferability. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Subscriber hereunder (other than the Subscriber Shares acquired hereunder, if any, subject to applicable securities laws and Subscriber’s rights under Section 10 hereof) may be transferred or assigned by the Subscriber without the prior written consent of the Company and the Issuer, and any purported transfer or assignment without such consent shall be null and void ab initio. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Initial Closing the Subscriber may assign all of its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to an affiliate of the Subscriber, or to any fund or account managed by the same investment manager as Subscriber, that is an Accredited Investor or a QIB and is also an Institutional Account, so long as the Subscriber provides the Company and the Issuer with at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of such assignment and a completed Investor Questionnaire duly executed by such assignee; provided, further that (i) such assignee will be deemed to have made to the Company and the Issuer each of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Subscriber set forth in Section 7 as of the date of such assignment and as of the Initial Closing Date, and (ii) no such assignment by the Subscriber will relieve the Subscriber of its obligations under this Subscription Agreement, and the Subscriber will remain secondarily liable under this Subscription Agreement for the obligations of the assignee hereunder unless Company and Issuer have consented to such relief. The Company may not transfer or assign all or a portion of its rights under this Subscription Agreement without the prior consent of the Subscriber.
(b) Reliance. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company, the Issuer, the Placement Agent and the Target will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement, provided, however, that the Subscriber’s obligations hereunder may only be enforced against the Subscriber by the Issuer (or, pursuant to Section 12(o), the Target). Prior to each Closing, the Subscriber agrees to promptly notify the Company and the Issuer if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties made by Subscriber set forth herein are no longer accurate in any material respect and which would cause any of the conditions to a Closing in Sections 4(a) or 4(b) to not be satisfied. Each of the Company and the Issuer is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby. Each of the Company and the Issuer acknowledges that the Subscriber will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Company and the Issuer contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to each Closing, the Company and the Issuer agree that the Issuer will promptly notify the Subscriber if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties made by it set forth herein are no longer accurate in any material respect and which would cause any of the conditions to a Closing in Sections 4(a) or 4(c) to not be satisfied. The Subscriber is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.
(c) Survival. All the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closings until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations.
25
(d) Amendments and Waivers. This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such amendment, modification or waiver is sought. Section 5, Section 6, Section 7 this Section 12(d), Section 12(o) and Section 13 may not be amended, modified, terminated or waived in any manner that is material and adverse to the Placement Agent without the written consent of the Placement Agent.
(e) Entire Agreement. This Subscription Agreement (including the exhibits and, to the extent applicable, the Lock-Up Addendum attached hereto), constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof (other than any confidentiality agreement entered into by the Company and/or the Issuer, on the one hand, and the Subscriber, on the other hand, in connection with the Offering).
(f) Successors and Assigns. This Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.
(g) Severability. If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
(h) Counterparts. This Subscription Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile, electronic mail or in .pdf (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx)) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.
(i) Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to equitable relief, including an injunction or injunctions, to prevent breaches of this Subscription Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. Each party hereto further agrees that none of the parties hereto or the Placement Agent or Target shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 12(i), and each party hereto irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.
(j) GOVERNING LAW AND JURY TRIAL. THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER STATE. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LITIGATION PURSUANT TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
26
(k) Venue. Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if there is no federal jurisdiction, in the state courts sitting in New York County in the State of New York (the “Chosen Court”) for any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (and each party agrees not to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating thereto except in such courts). Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, in the Chosen Court, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. To the extent it has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, the Subscriber hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations with respect to this Agreement.
(l) Notices. All notices, consents, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when delivered in person, (ii) when delivered by facsimile or email, with affirmative confirmation of receipt, (iii) one (1) Business Day after being sent, if sent by reputable, internationally recognized overnight courier service or (iv) three (3) Business Days after being mailed, if sent by registered or certified mail, prepaid and return receipt requested, in each case to the applicable party at the addresses set forth on the applicable signature pages hereto.
(m) Headings and Certain Defined Terms. The headings set forth in this Subscription Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be used in interpreting this Subscription Agreement. In this Subscription Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (i) whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Subscription Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa; (ii) “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting the generality of any description preceding or succeeding such term and shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”; and (iii) the words “herein”, “hereto” and “hereby” and other words of similar import in this Subscription Agreement shall be deemed in each case to refer to this Subscription Agreement as a whole and not to any particular portion of this Subscription Agreement, and references to any Section or Subsection shall refer to the numbered and lettered Sections and Subsections of this Agreement. As used in this Subscription Agreement, the term: (x) “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday on which commercial banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized to close for business (excluding as a result of “stay at home”, “shelter-in-place”, “non-essential employee” or any other similar orders or restrictions or the closure of any physical branch locations at the direction of any governmental authority so long as the electronic funds transfer systems, including for wire transfers, of commercially banking institutions in New York, New York are generally open for use by customers on such day); (y) “person” shall refer to any individual, corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company or other entity or association, including any governmental or regulatory body, whether acting in an individual, fiduciary or any other capacity; and (z) “affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any specified person, any other person or group of persons acting together that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such specified person (where the term “control” (and any correlative terms) means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise). For the avoidance of doubt, any reference in this Subscription Agreement to an affiliate of the Company will include the Sponsor.
27
(n) Further Assurances. At each Closing, the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional actions as the parties may reasonably deem necessary in order to consummate the Offering as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.
(o) Third Party Beneficiaries. The parties hereto agree that (a) the Placement Agent is an express third-party beneficiary of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company contained in Section 5, the representations, warranties and convents of the Issuer contained in Section 6 and the representations, warranties and convents of the Subscriber contained in Section 7, and its express rights set forth in Section 12(d) and this Section 12(o), and (b) the Target is an express third-party beneficiary of this Agreement. Except for the foregoing, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns.
13. Non-Reliance and Exculpation. The Subscriber acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person other than the statements, representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement in making its investment or decision to invest in the Issuer. The Subscriber agrees that neither (i) any Other Subscriber pursuant to the Other Subscription Agreements (including the controlling persons, members, officers, directors, partners, agents, or employees of any such Other Subscriber) nor (ii) the Placement Agent, its affiliates or any of its or its affiliates’ respective control persons, officers, directors or employees, shall be liable to the Subscriber pursuant to this Subscription Agreement for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Subscriber Shares.
14. Several not Joint. The obligations of Subscriber under this Subscription Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other Subscriber or any other investor under the Other Subscription Agreements, and Subscriber shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Subscriber under any Other Subscription Agreement or any other investor under the Other Subscription Agreements. Nothing contained herein or in any Other Subscription Agreement, and no action taken by Subscriber or any Other Subscriber or other investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Subscriber and any Other Subscribers or other investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that Subscriber and any Other Subscribers or other investors are in any way acting in concert or as a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements. Subscriber acknowledges that no Other Subscriber has acted as agent for Subscriber in connection with making its investment hereunder and no Other Subscriber will be acting as agent of Subscriber in connection with monitoring its investment in the Subscriber Shares or enforcing its rights under this Subscription Agreement.

Lock-Up Addendum to Subscription Agreement
In the event the Subscriber has signed this lock-up addendum (this “Lock-Up Addendum”) and checked the box marked “Yes, the Subscriber wishes for the Lock-Up Addendum to apply” on the signature page to the Subscription Agreement to which this Lock-Up Addendum is attached, this Lock-Up Addendum, and the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments, and terms and conditions set forth herein, shall be deemed to form part of the Subscription Agreement to which this Lock-Up Addendum is attached. Capitalized terms used in this Lock-Up Addendum but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Subscription Agreement. Except where the context requires otherwise, references in this Lock-Up Addendum to the Subscription Agreement are to the Subscription Agreement as amended by and including this Lock-Up Addendum.
1. PIPE Warrants.
(a) In addition to the Subscriber Shares referenced in the Subscription Agreement, in exchange for the Subscriber’s agreement to be bound by the terms, conditions, agreements and acknowledgments set forth in this Lock-Up Addendum, on the Initial Closing Date, the Issuer shall issue to the Subscriber, and the Subscriber shall subscribe from the Issuer, warrants to purchase a number of Issuer Shares equal to the Subscriber Committed Shares at an exercise price of $20.00 per share (the “Subscriber PIPE Warrants”). The Issuer Shares underlying the Subscriber PIPE Warrants are hereinafter referred to as the “Subscriber Warrant Shares”. The Subscriber Shares, the Subscriber PIPE Warrants and the Subscriber Warrant Shares are collectively referred to as the “Subscriber Securities.”
(b) The issuance of the Subscriber PIPE Warrants is contingent upon the Transaction Closing. In the event the Initial Closing occurs but the Second Merger does not occur within the time period set forth in Section 3(c) of the Subscription Agreement and the Subscriber Committed Shares are cancelled as set forth therein, the Subscriber PIPE Warrants shall also be cancelled and have no force or effect.
(c) Each Subscriber PIPE Warrant shall be exercisable as and from the Transaction Closing, and shall expire on the fifth anniversary thereof.
(d) The Issuer represents and warrants that the Subscriber PIPE Warrants, when issued and delivered in the manner set forth herein, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Issuer, enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, reorganization, or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by equitable principles of general application and except as enforcement of rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by federal and state securities laws or principles of public policy. The Issuer further represents and warrants that upon the issuance of the Subscriber PIPE Warrants, the Subscriber Warrant Shares underlying such warrants shall have been reserved for issuance.
(e) The Issuer represents and warrants that upon issuance in accordance with and payment pursuant to the terms of that certain warrant agreement to be entered into between the Issuer and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agreement”), each of the Subscriber Warrant Shares will be validly issued and allotted and fully paid, free and clear of any liens or other encumbrances (other than those arising under applicable securities laws) and will not have been issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive or similar rights created under the Issuer’s articles of association (as in effect at such time of issuance). The Warrant Agreement will be substantially similar to the warrant agreement dated January 28, 2021, between the Company and Continental, expect with respect to the exercise price and that the Subscriber Warrants will be non-redeemable.
(f) The term “Subscriber Committed Shares” as used in Section 3 of the Subscription Agreement shall be deemed to include the Subscriber PIPE Warrants, as the context requires.
(g) The term “Subscriber Shares” as used in Sections 4, 5(c), 6(d), 6(e), 6(g), 6(l), 7, 8 (except for clause (e) thereof) and 11 – 14 of the Subscription Agreement shall be deemed to include the Subscriber PIPE Warrants and the Subscriber Warrant Shares, as the context requires. The term “Subscriber Shares” as used in Sections 8(e) and 10 of the Subscription Agreement shall be deemed to include the Subscriber Warrant Shares.
2. Lock-Up
(a) Subject to clause (b) below, the Subscriber agrees that it shall not, and shall not permit any of its Permitted Transferees to Transfer any Subscriber Securities prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in clause (a) above, Subscriber or its Permitted Transferees may Transfer Subscriber Securities during the Lock-Up Period (i) to an affiliate of Subscriber, or (ii) to any fund or account managed by the same investment manager as Subscriber, provided that any transferee permitted by clauses (i) or (ii) must be an Accredited Investor or a QIB and an Institutional Account, provided further that any such transferee must enter into a written agreement with the Issuer agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions in this Section 2 of this Lock-Up Addendum.
(c) For purposes of this Section 2 of this Addendum, (i) “Lock-Up Period” means the period commencing on the Initial Closing Date and expiring on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Transaction Closing, and (ii) “Permitted Transferees” means any entity to whom Subscriber or a Permitted Transferee is permitted to Transfer Subscriber Securities prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period pursuant to Section 2(b) of this Lock-Up Addendum.
(d) During the Lock-Up Period, each certificate evidencing any Subscriber Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends.
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A LOCK-UP ADDENDUM TO SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT DATED AS OF JULY [●], 2021, BY AND AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE “ISSUER”), THE ISSUER’S SECURITY HOLDER NAMED THEREIN AND CERTAIN OTHER PARTIES NAMED THEREIN.
