At any time during the period commencing from the 12-month anniversary of the Closing and ending at such time that all of the Pubco Shares may be sold without the requirement for Pubco to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) (as defined below) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if Pubco shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) and the Shares are not then registered for resale by the Subscriber under the Securities Act (a “Public Information Failure”) then, in addition to such Subscriber’s other available remedies and unless all of the Pubco Shares were registered Pubco’s registration statement on Form S-4 to be declared effective by the Commission on the Closing Date, the Company shall pay to a Subscriber, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Shares, an amount in cash equal to one (1%) of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Subscriber’s Shares on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day (pro-rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) (“Monthly Liquidated Damage”) thereafter until the earlier of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required for the Subscriber to transfer the Shares pursuant to Rule 144; provided that in no event shall the Monthly Liquidated Damage hereunder plus the monthly liquidated damage defined in the Registration Rights Agreement shall exceed one (1%) of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Subscriber’s Shares.

In no event shall the Company be required hereunder and under the Registration Rights Agreement to pay to such Subscriber an aggregate amount that exceeds 6.0% of the aggregate Purchase Price paid by such Subscriber for its Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement. The Company may suspend the use of any such registration statement if it determines that in order for the registration statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act, as amended; provided, that, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such registration statement available for the sale by the undersigned of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter.

2.2.10 Following the Disclosure Time (as defined in Section 7) or otherwise as required by applicable law, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Subscriber or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes constitutes, material non-public information, unless prior thereto the Subscriber shall have consented to the receipt of such information and agreed with the Company to keep such information confidential. The Company understands and confirms that the Subscriber shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company; provided, that each Subscriber shall be solely responsible for its compliance with federal, state and foreign securities laws.

Other than (i) the Other Subscription Agreements and (ii) the definitive documentation of a purchase of securities of PureCycle entered into prior to the date hereof and not conditioned on the consummation of the Transaction, the Company has not entered into any side letter or similar agreement with a subscriber under any Other Subscription Agreement (an “Other Subscriber”) in connection with such Other Subscriber’s direct or indirect investment in the Company. No Other Subscription Agreements have been amended in any material respect following the date of this Subscription Agreement, and each Other Subscription Agreement reflects the same Per Share Purchase Price and terms that are not materially more favorable to such Other Subscriber thereunder than the terms of this Subscription Agreement.

As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Subscription Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and such transferee and each Subscriber Affiliate transferee and each lender transferee and their subsequent transferees shall have the rights and obligations of the Subscriber under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.
4.2 The Company and Pubco acknowledge and agree that the Subscriber may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares or the Pubco Shares, as applicable, to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Subscriber may transfer pledged or secured Shares or Pubco Shares, as applicable, to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company or Pubco, as applicable, 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 Section 4 hereof in order to effect a sale, transfer or assignment of the Shares or Pubco Shares, as applicable, to such pledgee. At the Subscriber’s expense, the Company or Pubco, as applicable, will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of the Shares or the Pubco Shares, as applicable, may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Shares or the Pubco Shares, as applicable.
4.3 The Subscriber agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4, of a legend on any of the Shares, and after the consummation of the Transaction, the Pubco Shares, in the following form:
THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE AND FOREIGN SECURITIES LAWS.
4.4 Subject to applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the interpretations of the Commission thereunder and any requirements of the Company’s or Pubco’s transfer agent, the Company and Pubco shall ensure that instruments, whether certificated or uncertificated, evidencing the Shares or Pubco Shares, as applicable, shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.3), (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such Shares or Pubco Shares, as applicable, is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Shares or Pubco Shares, as applicable, are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company or Pubco to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, and in each case, the Subscriber provides the Company and Pubco with an undertaking to effect any sales or other transfers in accordance with the Securities Act, or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) (the earliest of such dates, the “Effective Date”).
9
4.5 The Subscriber agrees with the Company and Pubco that the Subscriber will sell any Shares, and after the consummation of the Transaction, the Pubco Shares, pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Shares, and after the consummation of the Transaction, the Pubco 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 Shares, and after the consummation of the Transaction, the Pubco Shares, as set forth in this Section 4 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.
5. Termination. Except for the provisions of Sections 5, 6 and 8, which shall survive any termination hereunder, 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 (i) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (ii) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (iii) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 3.2 of this Subscription Agreement are not satisfied or waived on or prior to the Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated at the Closing or (iv) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before May 31, 2021; provided, that, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8, 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 Company shall promptly notify Subscriber of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement.

6.3 Entire Agreement. This Subscription Agreement, together with the Registration Rights Agreement, 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. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 6.1.1, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
6.4 Modifications and Amendments. This Subscription Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by a majority in interest of, collectively, the Subscriber and subscribers party to the Other Subscription Agreements; provided, however, any material modification, waiver or termination to the economic terms of the transactions contemplated under this Subscription Agreement shall require the prior written consent of the Subscriber if the Subscriber has an aggregate Purchase price of at least $10 million.
6.5 Waivers and Consents. The terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement may be waived, or consent for the departure therefrom granted, only by a written document executed by a majority in interest of, collectively, the Subscriber and subscribers party to the Other Subscription Agreements. No such waiver or consent shall be deemed to be or shall constitute a waiver or consent with respect to any other terms or provisions of this Subscription Agreement, whether or not similar. Each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it was given, and shall not constitute a continuing waiver or consent.
6.6 Assignment., Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to Subscriber hereunder (other than the Shares acquired hereunder, if any) may be transferred or assigned; provided, however, Subscriber may transfer its rights and obligations hereunder to another one or more investment fund or account managed or advised by the same manager as Subscriber (or a related party or affiliate) defined above as a Subscriber Affiliate or a lender and, through a lender, a transferee of the lender upon default, provided, that no such transfer shall release Subscriber of its obligations hereunder unless (a) the assignee expressly does not assume such obligations in the applicable transfer documentation and (b) upon request, such assignee fails to provide documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Company that assignee can satisfy such obligations.
11
6.7 Benefit. Except as otherwise provided herein, 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.
6.8 Governing Law. This Subscription Agreement, and any claim or cause of action hereunder based upon, arising out of or related to this Subscription Agreement (whether based on law, in equity, in contract, in tort or any other theory) or the negotiation, execution, performance or enforcement of this Subscription Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.
6.9 Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereto agree to submit any matter or dispute resulting from or arising out of the execution, performance, interpretation, breach or termination of this Agreement to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of federal or state courts within the State of New York. Each of the Parties agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document in the manner set forth in Section 6.2 hereof or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable law, shall be effective service of process for any proceeding in the State of New York with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 6.9. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it is subject to, and hereby submits to, the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in the State of New York for any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder and waives any objection to the laying of venue in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, or the New York state courts if the federal jurisdictional standards are not satisfied, 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 FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
6.10 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.
6.11 No Waiver of Rights, Powers and Remedies. No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Subscription Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without such notice or demand.
6.12 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made by the parties hereto in this Subscription Agreement or in any other agreement, certificate or instrument provided for or contemplated hereby, shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and any investigations made by or on behalf of the parties.
6.13 Expenses. Except for placement fees payable to the Placement Agents, the Company 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 Shares, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any fee or commission payable to any stockholder or affiliate of the Company. Each of the parties hereto shall pay all of its own expenses in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
12
6.14 Headings and Captions. The headings and captions of the various subdivisions of this Subscription Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way modify or affect the meaning or construction of any of the terms or provisions hereof.
6.15 Counterparts. This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or any other form of electronic delivery, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.
6.16 Construction. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Subscription Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Subscription Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.
6.17 Intended Tax Treatment. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Subscribers’ beneficial ownership of the Common Stock shall be disregarded as transitory, and the Purchase Price shall be treated as paid by Subscribers to Pubco for Pubco Common Stock as part of the same plan as the transfer of other property to Pubco for Pubco Common Stock, in a single integrated transaction that satisfies the requirements of Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code.
7. Disclosure. The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that the terms of this Subscription Agreement will be disclosed by the Company in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC (the time of such filing, “Disclosure Time”) and a form of this Subscription Agreement will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit thereto. From and after the Disclosure Time, the Company represents to the Subscriber that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to the Subscriber by the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement and the Transaction Agreement. In addition, effective upon the Disclosure Time, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company or any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates on the one hand, and any of the Subscribers or any of their affiliates on the other hand, shall terminate.
8. Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber acknowledges that the Company is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses or assets. Subscriber further acknowledges that, as described in the Company’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering (the “IPO”) dated May 4, 2020 (the “Prospectus”) available at xxx.xxx.xxx, substantially all of the Company’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of Company’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 Company, its public shareholders and the underwriters of Company’s initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to Company 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 the Company entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber, on behalf of itself and its 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, 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; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8 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 Company 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 Company.
