Ladies and Gentlemen:
This Subscription Agreement (this “Subscription Agreement”) is being entered into as of the date set forth on the signature page hereto, by and among Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“SPAC”), the undersigned subscriber (the “Investor”) and, solely for the purposes of Sections 6, 8 and 11, Roivant Sciences Ltd., a Bermuda exempted limited company (the “Company”), in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “BCA”), by and among SPAC, the Company, Rhine Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”) and the other parties thereto, pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub will merge with and into SPAC (the “Merger”), with SPAC as the surviving company in the Merger and, after giving effect to the Merger, will become a subsidiary of the Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions therein (the transactions contemplated by the BCA, including the Merger, the “Transaction”).
In connection with the Transaction, SPAC is seeking commitments from interested investors to purchase, contingent upon, and immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction, shares of SPAC’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), in a private placement for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Per Share Purchase Price”). On or about the date of this Subscription Agreement, SPAC is entering into subscription agreements (the “Other Subscription Agreements” and, together with the Subscription Agreement, the “Subscription Agreements”) substantially similar to this Subscription Agreement with certain other investors (the “Other Investors” and, together with the Investor, the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Investors, severally and not jointly, have agreed to purchase on the closing date of the Transaction, inclusive of the Shares subscribed for by the Investor, an aggregate amount of up to 20,000,000 Shares, at the Per Share Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price to be paid by the Investor for the subscribed Shares (as set forth on the signature page hereto) is referred to herein as the “Subscription Amount.” Pursuant to the BCA, on the Closing Date (as defined herein), the Shares so purchased will be exchanged for shares of the Company on a one-for-one basis, as described more fully in the BCA. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any obligations existing in this Subscription Agreement, following consummation of the Transaction, (i) the Company shall be the public issuer and (ii) the term “Shares” as defined above shall refer to the as-converted shares in the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Subscription Agreement shall be interpreted to limit the consummation of the Transaction in accordance with the terms of the BCA.
In connection therewith, and in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, each of the Investor, the Company and SPAC acknowledges and agrees as follows:
1. Subscription. The Investor hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from SPAC the number of Shares set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for herein.
2. Closing. The closing of the sale of the Shares contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction. The Closing shall occur on the date of, and substantially concurrently with and conditioned upon the effectiveness of, the Transaction. Upon (a) satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 3 below and (b) delivery of written notice from (or on behalf of) SPAC to the Investor (the “Closing Notice”), that SPAC reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transaction to be satisfied or waived on a date that is not less than five (5) business days from the date on which the Closing Notice is delivered to the Investor, the Investor shall deliver to SPAC (i) at least one (1) business day prior to the closing date specified in the Closing Notice (the “Closing Date”), the Subscription Amount by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by SPAC in the Closing Notice to be held in escrow until the Closing, or (ii) on the Closing Date, the Subscription Amount to an account specified by SPAC otherwise mutually agreed by the Investor and SPAC due to legal reasons that apply to such Investor (the “Alternative Settlement Procedures”) by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds. The Investor shall also deliver to SPAC, at least one (1) business day prior to the Closing Date, any other information that is reasonably requested in the Closing Notice in order for SPAC to issue the Shares to the Investor in accordance with the Subscription Agreement, including, without limitation, the legal name of the person in whose name such Shares are to be issued and a duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8, as applicable. On the Closing Date, SPAC shall (1) issue a number of Shares to the Investor set forth on the signature page to this Subscription Agreement and subsequently cause such Shares to be registered in book entry form in the name of the Investor (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) on SPAC’s share register, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions (other than those arising under this Subscription Agreement or applicable securities laws), and (2) provide evidence from the Company’s transfer agent of such issuance on and as of the Closing Date. If the Closing does not occur within three (3) business days following the Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, SPAC shall promptly (but not later than one (1) business day thereafter) return the Subscription Amount in full to the Investor, in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Investor in writing, and any book entries for the Shares shall be deemed cancelled. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “business day” shall mean a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York are authorized or required by law to close.
3. Closing Conditions.

(ii) all conditions precedent to the closing of the Transaction under the BCA shall have been satisfied (as determined by the parties to the BCA and other than those conditions under the BCA which, by their nature, are to be fulfilled at the closing of the Transaction, including to the extent that any such condition is dependent upon the consummation of the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or Other Subscription Agreements) or waived and the closing of the Transaction shall be scheduled to occur concurrently with or on the same date as the Closing Date.
(b) The obligation of SPAC to consummate the issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement shall be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions: (i) all representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality, which representations and warranties shall be true in all respects) at and as of the Closing Date (except for those representations and warranties that speak as of a specified earlier date, which shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such specified earlier date (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality as of such specified earlier date, which representations and warranties shall be true in all respects)), and consummation of the Closing shall constitute a reaffirmation by the Investor that each of the representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement as of the Closing Date are true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality, in all respects as of the Closing Date) and (ii) all obligations, covenants and agreements of the Investor required to be performed by it at or prior to the Closing Date shall have been performed in all material respects.
(c) The obligation of the Investor to consummate the purchase of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement shall be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions: (i) all representations and warranties of SPAC and the Company contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect (as defined herein), which representations and warranties shall be true in all respects) at and as of the Closing Date, and consummation of the Closing shall constitute a reaffirmation by SPAC and the Company that each of the representations and warranties of SPAC and the Company contained in this Subscription Agreement as of the Closing Date are true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) as of the Closing Date (except for those representations and warranties that speak as of a specified earlier date, which shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such specified earlier date (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality as of such specified earlier date, which representations and warranties shall be true in all respects)); (ii) all obligations, covenants and agreements of SPAC and the Company required by the Subscription Agreement to be performed by them at or prior to the Closing Date shall have been performed in all material respects; and (iii) the BCA shall not have been amended or waived in a manner that materially and adversely affects the economic benefits that the Investor (in its capacity as such) would reasonably expect to receive under this Subscription Agreement; provided, that, the SEC’s (as defined herein) issuance of the Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (the “Statement”), made on April 12, 2021, and any consequences thereof or actions taken by SPAC directly in response thereto, shall not cause either of the conditions in this clause (c) to be deemed to not have been satisfied so long as any such consequences or actions shall not have caused a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of SPAC (a “Material Adverse Effect”). For the avoidance of doubt, any restatement of the financial statements of SPAC and any amendments to previously filed SEC reports or delays in filing SEC reports, in connection with the Statement or any subsequent related agreements or other guidance from the SEC with respect to the Statement, shall not be considered to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

For the avoidance of doubt, such additional agreements shall reflect not less than the same Per Share Purchase Price and shall constitute Other Subscription Agreements for purposes of this Agreement, mutatis mutandis.
(c) The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that, other than with respect to any actions taken to consummate the Transaction pursuant to the BCA, the Shares may not be offered, resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by the Investor absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act except (i) to SPAC or an affiliate thereof, (ii) to non-U.S. persons pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act or (iii) pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each of clauses (i) and (iii) in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states and other jurisdictions of the United States, and that any certificates representing the Shares shall contain a restrictive legend to such effect.

(f) The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor has received such information as the Investor deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares, including, with respect to SPAC, the Transaction and the business of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The Investor did not become aware of this offering of the Shares, nor were the Shares offered to the Investor, by any other means. The Investor acknowledges that the Shares (i) were not offered to it by any form of general solicitation or general advertising, including methods described in section 502(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act and (ii) to its knowledge, are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws. The Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, SPAC, the Company, the Placement Agents, any of their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), other than the representations and warranties of SPAC and the Company contained in Section 5 and Section 6 of this Subscription Agreement, respectively, in making its investment or decision to invest in SPAC.
7
(h) The Investor acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Shares, including those set forth in SPAC’s filings with the SEC.

The Investor is able to sustain a complete loss on its investment in the Shares, has no immediate need for liquidity with respect to its investment in the Shares.
(i) Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), the Investor has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Shares and determined that the Shares are a suitable investment for the Investor and that the Investor is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of the Investor’s investment in SPAC. The Investor acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

The signature of the Investor on this Subscription Agreement is genuine, and the signatory, if the Investor is an individual, has legal competence and capacity to execute the same or, if the Investor is not an individual, the signatory has been duly authorized to execute the same, and, assuming that this Subscription Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of SPAC, this Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.
(q) The Investor is not (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program; (ii) owned, directly or indirectly, or controlled by, or acting on behalf of, one or more persons that are named on the OFAC List; (iii) organized, incorporated, established, located, resident or born in, or a citizen, national or the government, including any political subdivision, agency or instrumentality thereof, of, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea region of Ukraine or any other country or territory embargoed or subject to substantial trade restrictions by the United States; (iv) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R.

To the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with OFAC-administered sanctions programs, including for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List.

(r) The Investor acknowledges that no disclosure or offering document has been prepared by X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC, SVB Leerink LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., any additional placement agent that may be engaged by SPAC, or any of their respective affiliates (collectively, the “Placement Agents”) in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares.
(s) The Investor acknowledges that neither Placement Agents, nor any of their respective affiliates nor any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing have made any independent investigation with respect to SPAC, the Company or its subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, or the Shares or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of any information supplied to the Investor by SPAC.
(t) The Investor, when required to deliver payment to SPAC pursuant to Section 2 above, will have, sufficient funds to pay the Subscription Amount and consummate the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.
(u) The Investor agrees that, from the date of this Subscription Agreement until the Closing or the earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement, none of Investor, its controlled affiliates, or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Investor or any of its controlled affiliates or pursuant to any understanding with the Investor or any of its controlled affiliates will engage in any Short Sales with respect to securities of the SPAC. For the purposes hereof, “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), including through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) nothing herein shall prohibit (x) other entities under common management with the Investor with whom the Investor is not acting in concert with respect to any trading in securities of the SPAC, this Subscription Agreement or the Investor’s participation in this offering of the Shares including the Investor’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates, or (y) in the case of an Investor that is externally managed, advised or sub-advised by another person, any other person that is not directly controlled or managed by such manager, adviser or sub-adviser, in each case from entering into any Short Sale and (B) in the case of an Investor that is a multi-managed investment bank or vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Investor’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Investor’s assets, this Section (u) shall apply only with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Subscription Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section (u) shall restrict any transactions with respect to securities of SPAC other than transactions that are Short Sales including the exercise of any redemption with respect to securities of the SPAC.
(v) Except as expressly disclosed in a Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G (or amendments thereto) filed by such Investor with the SEC with respect to the beneficial ownership of the SPAC’s common stock, the Investor is not currently (and at all times through Closing will refrain from being or becoming) a member of a “group” (within the meaning of section 13(d)(3) or section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing of equity securities of the SPAC (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act).
(w) No broker, finder or other financial consultant has acted on behalf of the Investor in connection with this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(x) The Investor acknowledges the SEC’s issuance of the Statement, and the Investor agrees that any actions taken by SPAC in connection with, or as may be necessary or advisable to address the potential implications of, such Statement or review shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants in this Subscription Agreement; provided, however, that any such actions may not materially and adversely affect the rights of the Investor (in its capacity as such) under this Subscription Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any restatement or the financial statements of SPAC and any amendments to previously filed SEC reports or delays in filing SEC reports, in connection with the Statement or any subsequent related agreements or other guidance from the SEC with respect to the Statement shall not be considered to materially and adversely affect the rights of the Investor (in its capacity as such) under this Subscription agreement.

8. Registration Rights.
(a) In the event that the Shares are not registered in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, the Company agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”), it will file with the SEC (at its sole cost and expense) a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the Shares, and it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) sixty (60) calendar days after the filing thereof (or ninety (90) calendar days after the filing thereof if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) and (ii) five (5) business days after the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review ((i) and (ii) collectively, the “Effectiveness Deadline”). In connection with the foregoing and with all transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, Investor shall not be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Shares. The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement, or another shelf registration statement that includes the Shares to be sold pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, to remain effective until the earliest of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing, (ii) the date on which the Investor ceases to hold any Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, or (iii) on the first date on which the Investor is able to sell all of its Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) within ninety (90) calendar days without the public information, volume or manner of sale limitations of such rule (such date, the “End Date”). Prior to the End Date, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to (1) qualify the Shares for listing on Nasdaq or another applicable national stock exchange and (2) update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include the Shares. Subject to receipt from the Investor by the Company and its transfer agent of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company and the transfer agent in connection therewith, including, if required by the transfer agent, an opinion of the Company’s counsel in a form reasonably acceptable to the transfer agent, the Investor may request that the Company remove any legend from the book-entry position evidencing the Shares following the earliest of such time as the Shares (A) have been or are being sold or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or (B) have been or are being sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”). To the extent required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its legal counsel to deliver a customary opinion within two business days of the delivery of all reasonably necessary representations and other documentation from the Investor as reasonably requested by the Company’s transfer agent. If restrictive legends are no longer required for the Shares pursuant to the foregoing, the Company shall, reasonably promptly following any request therefor from the Investor as described above (and no later than five (5) business days after such request), deliver to the transfer agent instructions to remove such restrictive legends from the Shares of the Investor. The Company may amend the Registration Statement so as to convert the Registration Statement to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 at such time after the Company becomes eligible to use such Form S-3. For as long as the Investor holds the Shares, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the Investor to resell the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 of the Securities Act (when Rule 144 of the Securities Act becomes available to the Investor), as applicable. In no event shall the undersigned be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless in response to a comment or request from the staff of the SEC or another regulatory agency; provided, however, that if the SEC requests that the undersigned be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the undersigned will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Company to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Deadline shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file the Registration Statement or effect the registration of the Shares set forth in this Section 8. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Company may suspend the use of any such registration statement if it determines in good faith, upon advice of legal counsel (internal counsel being sufficient), that in order for such registration statement not to 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, provided, that, (I) the Company shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of the Registration Statement on more than three (3) occasions for a period of more than sixty (60) consecutive days or more than a total of ninety (90) calendar days, in each case in any three hundred sixty (360) day period and (II) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such Registration Statement available for the sale by the Investor of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter. The Company’s obligations to include the Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares issued in exchange therefor) for resale in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Investor furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the Investor, the securities of the Company held by the Investor and the intended method of disposition of such Shares, as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of such Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide a draft of the Registration Statement to the Investor for review at least two (2) business days in advance of filing the Registration Statement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be required to delay or postpone the filing of such Registration Statement as a result of or in connection with the Investor’s review.
11
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents the Company from including any or all of the Shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of Shares by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Shares as is permitted by the SEC. In such event, the number of Shares to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional Shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement to register such Shares not included in the initial Registration Statement and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment or Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable.
(c) In the case of the registration, qualification, exemption or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform Investor as to the status of such registration, qualification, exemption and compliance. At its expense, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to advise Investor reasonably promptly (but within no later than 5 business days):
(i) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;
(ii) after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;
(iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and
(iv) 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.
Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding the Company) of the happening any event contemplated in clauses (ii) through (iv) above during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of the occurrence of such 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 undersigned Investor agrees that (1) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until the undersigned Investor receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by Company that it may resume such offers and sales, and (2) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by Company except (A) for disclosure to the Investor’s employees, agents and professional advisers who need to know such information and are obligated to keep it confidential, (B) for disclosures to the extent required in order to comply with reporting obligations to its limited partners who have agreed to keep such information confidential and (C) as required by law or subpoena. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable. Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in clauses (ii) through (iv) above, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company 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 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.
12
(d) Indemnification.
(i) The Company shall indemnify Investor (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), its officers, directors, advisers and agents, and each person who controls Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including reasonably incurred and documented attorneys’ fees) and reasonably incurred and documented expenses (collectively, “Losses”) that arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement pursuant to which Investor’s Shares are registered, 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, except to the extent that such untrue statements or alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding Investor furnished in writing to the Company by Investor expressly for use therein or Investor has omitted a material fact from such information.
(ii) The Investor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses arising out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement pursuant to which Investor’s Shares are registered, 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 of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding Investor furnished in writing to the Company by the Investor expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Investor upon the sale of the subscribed Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The Investor shall notify the Company promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 8 of which the Investor is aware.
13
(iii) Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (1) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (2) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its written 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 (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
(iv) The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, employee, agent, affiliate or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.
(v) If the indemnification provided under this Section 8(d) from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses 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, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses 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 deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 8(d), 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 (8(d)(v) from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Each indemnifying party’s obligation to make a contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d)(v) shall be individual, not joint and several, and in no event shall the liability of any Investor hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Investor upon the sale of the subscribed Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(e) The Company shall not hereafter enter into, and is not currently a party to, any Other Subscription Agreements with respect to the Shares that is inconsistent in any material respect with, or superior to, the registration rights granted to Investor by this Subscription Agreement. Notwithstanding any other rights and remedies Investor may have in respect of the Company or such Other Investors pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, if the Company enters into any other registration rights or similar agreement with respect to the Shares that contains provisions that violate the preceding sentence, the terms and conditions of this Subscription Agreement shall be deemed to have been amended without further action by the Company or Investor so that Investor shall be entitled to the benefit of any such more favorable or less restrictive terms or conditions, as the case may be.
14
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) such date and time as the BCA is terminated in accordance with its terms without being consummated, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) December 30, 2021, if the Closing has not occurred by such date, or (d) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 3 of this Subscription Agreement are (i) not satisfied or waived or (ii) not capable of being satisfied and, in each case of (i) and (ii), as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement will not be and are not consummated at the Closing (the termination events described in clauses (a)–(d) above, collectively, the “Termination Events”); provided that in the case of clause (d), to the extent such failure to satisfy the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 3 of this Subscription Agreement is caused by the Investor’s failure to satisfy such conditions, termination shall instead be at the election of SPAC; provided, further, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful breach. SPAC shall notify the Investor in writing of the termination of the BCA promptly after the termination of such agreement. Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event and subject to the provisions of this Section 9, this Subscription Agreement shall be void and of no further effect and any monies paid by the Investor to SPAC in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) business day) following the Termination Event be returned to the Investor.
10. Trust Account Waiver. The Investor acknowledges that SPAC is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving SPAC and one or more businesses or assets. The Investor further acknowledges that, as described in SPAC’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated October 6, 2020 (the “Prospectus”) available at xxx.xxx.xxx, substantially all of SPAC’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of SPAC’s initial public offering and private placement of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of SPAC, its public shareholders and the underwriters of SPAC’s initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to SPAC to pay its tax obligations and to fund certain of its working capital requirements, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of SPAC entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Investor hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind it has 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 10 shall be deemed to limit the Investor’s right, title, interest or claim to any monies held in the Trust Account by virtue of its record or beneficial ownership of Shares (x) acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or (y) currently outstanding on the date hereof, pursuant to a validly exercised redemption right with respect to any such Shares, except to the extent that the Investor has otherwise agreed in writing with SPAC to not exercise such redemption right.
11. Miscellaneous.
(a) Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the parties hereunder (other than the Shares acquired hereunder, if any) may be transferred or assigned without the prior written consent of each of the other parties hereto; provided that (i) this Subscription Agreement and any of the Investor’s rights and obligations hereunder may be assigned to an affiliate or any fund or account advised or managed by the Investor or the same investment manager or investment advisor as the Investor or by an affiliate (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act) of such investment manager or investment advisor without the prior consent of SPAC or the Company; provided, however, the Investor shall provide notice of any such assignment to SPAC and the Company and (ii) the Investor's rights under Section 8 may be assigned to an assignee or transferee of the Shares; provided further that prior to such assignment any such assignee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms hereof. Upon such assignment by the Investor in accordance with this Section (a), the assignee shall become an Investor hereunder and have the rights and obligations provided for herein to the extent of such assignment; provided, that no assignment pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 11(a) shall relieve the Investor of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent actually performed in accordance with the terms hereof, unless consented to in writing by SPAC and the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld).
(b) SPAC and/or the Company may request from the Investor such additional information as they may reasonably deem necessary to register the resale of the Shares and evaluate the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Shares, and the Investor shall promptly provide such information as may reasonably be requested to the extent readily available; provided, that, each of SPAC and the Company agrees to keep any such information provided by Investor confidential except (i) as necessary to include in any registration statement required to be filed hereunder, (ii) as required by the federal securities law or pursuant to other routine proceedings of regulatory authorities or (iii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law, at the request of the staff of the SEC or regulatory agency or under the regulations of any national securities exchange on which SPAC’s or the Company’s securities, as the case may be, are listed for trading. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that if it does not provide SPAC and/or the Company with such requested information, the Investor's Shares may not be registered for resale pursuant to Section 8 hereof.

(f) This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified, waived or terminated (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 9 above) except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto. No failure or delay of either party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.
(g) This Subscription Agreement (including the schedule 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. Except as expressly otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns, and the parties hereto acknowledge that such persons so referenced are third party beneficiaries of this Subscription Agreement with right of enforcement for the purposes of, and to the extent of, the rights granted to them, if any, pursuant to the applicable provisions.
(h) 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.
16
(i) If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to 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.
(j) This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic mail or in .pdf) 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.
(k) The parties hereto acknowledge and 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 an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Subscription Agreement, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages, 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.
(l) If any change in the number, type or classes of authorized shares of SPAC (including the Shares), other than as contemplated by the BCA or any agreement contemplated by the BCA, shall occur between the date hereof and immediately prior to the Closing by reason of reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend, the number of Shares issued to the Investor and the Per Share Purchase Price shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.
(m) This Subscription Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof) as to all matters (including any action, suit, litigation, arbitration, mediation, claim, charge, complaint, inquiry, proceeding, hearing, audit, investigation or reviews by or before any governmental entity related hereto), including matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies.
(n) Each party hereto hereby, and any person asserting rights as a third party beneficiary may do so only if he, she or it, irrevocably agrees that any action, suit or proceeding between or among the parties hereto, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, arising in connection with any disagreement, dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement or any related document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (“Legal Dispute”) shall be brought only to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware or the federal courts located in the State of Delaware, and each party hereto hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding that is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. During the period a Legal Dispute that is filed in accordance with this Section 11(n) is pending before a court, all actions, suits or proceedings with respect to such Legal Dispute or any other Legal Dispute, including any counterclaim, cross-claim or interpleader, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court. Each party hereto and any person asserting rights as a third party beneficiary may do so only if he, she or it hereby waives, and shall not assert as a defense in any Legal Dispute, that (i) such party is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason, (ii) such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in such court, (iii) such party’s property is exempt or immune from execution, (iv) such action, suit or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, or (v) the venue of such action, suit or proceeding is improper. A final judgment in any action, suit or proceeding described in this Section 11(n) following the expiration of any period permitted for appeal and subject to any stay during appeal shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable laws. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY MAY DO SO ONLY IF HE, SHE OR IT IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS ASSERTED IN ANY LEGAL DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM RELATING THERETO. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY HERETO NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NONCOMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY HERETO NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

12. Non-Reliance and Exculpation. The Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, the Placement Agents, any of their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), other than the statements, representations and warranties of SPAC and the Company expressly contained in Section 5 and Section 6 of this Subscription Agreement, respectively, in making its investment or decision to invest in SPAC. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that none of (i) any other investor pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or any other subscription agreement related to the private placement of the Shares (including the investor’s respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), (ii) the Placement Agents, their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing, or (iii) any other party to the BCA or any Non-Party Affiliate (other than SPAC or the Company with respect to the previous sentence), shall have any liability to the Investor, or to any other investor, pursuant to, arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement or any other subscription agreement related to the private placement of the Shares, the negotiation hereof or thereof or its subject matter, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including, without limitation, with respect to any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Shares or with respect to any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of this Subscription Agreement or in respect of any written or oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, as expressly provided herein, or for any actual or alleged inaccuracies, misstatements or omissions with respect to any information or materials of any kind furnished by SPAC, the Company, the Placement Agents or any Non-Party Affiliate concerning SPAC, the Company, the Placement Agents, any of their controlled affiliates, this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Non-Party Affiliates” means each former, current or future officer, director, employee, partner, member, manager, direct or indirect equityholder or affiliate of SPAC, the Company, the Placement Agents or any of SPAC’s, the Company’s or the Placement Agents’ controlled affiliates or any family member of the foregoing.
13. Disclosure. SPAC shall, by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first (1st) business day immediately following the date of this Subscription Agreement, issue one or more press releases or file with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K (collectively, the “Disclosure Document”) disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Other Subscription Agreements, the Transaction and any other material, nonpublic information that SPAC has provided to the Investor at any time prior to the filing of the Disclosure Document. Upon the issuance of the Disclosure Document, to the actual knowledge of SPAC, the Investor shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information received from SPAC or any of its officers, directors, or employees or agents (including the Placement Agents), and the Investor shall no longer be subject to any confidentiality or similar obligations under any current agreement, whether written or oral, with SPAC or any of its affiliates, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, neither SPAC nor the Company shall publicly disclose the name of the Investor or any of its affiliates or advisers, or include the name of the Investor or any of its affiliates or advisers without the prior written consent of the Investor (a) in any press release or marketing materials or (b) in any filing with the SEC or any regulatory agency or trading market except (i) as required by the federal securities law or pursuant to other routine proceedings of regulatory authorities, (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law, at the request of the staff of the SEC or regulatory agency or under the regulations of any national securities exchange on which SPAC’s securities are listed for trading or (iii) to the extent such announcements or other communications contain only information previously disclosed in a public statement, press release or other communication previously approved in accordance with this Section 13; provided that, in each case of (i), (ii), or (iii), SPAC will provide the Investor with written notice (including by e-mail) of any such disclosure and shall reasonably consult with Investor regarding such disclosure.
19
14. Separate Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, all obligations of the Investor hereunder are separate and several from the obligations of any Other Investor. The decision of Investor to purchase the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement has been made by Investor independently of any Other Investor or any other investor and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of SPAC, the Company, or any of their respective subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any Other Investor or investor or by any agent or employee of any Other Investor or investor, and neither Investor nor any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Other Investor or investor (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Other Subscription Agreement, and no action taken by Investor or Other Investors pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Investor and Other Investor or other investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that Investor and Other Investors or other investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements. The Investor acknowledges that no Other Investor has acted as agent for Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and no Other Investor will be acting as agent of Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the Shares or enforcing its rights under this Subscription Agreement. The Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Subscription Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Investor or investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
15. Massachusetts Business Trust. If Investor is a Massachusetts Business Trust, a copy of the Declaration of Trust of Investor or any affiliate thereof is on file with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and notice is hereby given that the Subscription Agreement is executed on behalf of the trustees of Investor or any affiliate thereof as trustees and not individually and that the obligations of the Subscription Agreement are not binding on any of the trustees, officers or stockholders of Investor or any affiliate thereof individually but are binding only upon Investor or any affiliate thereof and its assets and property.
