The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place electronically by exchange of the closing deliverables by the means provided in Section 8.11 (Counterparts; Electronic Signatures) as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than the third (3rd) Business Day, following the satisfaction (or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waiver) of the conditions set forth in Article 6 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) (the “Closing Date”) or at such other place, date and/or time as Sandbridge and the Company may agree in writing.
(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action of any Party
or any other Person (except, in the case of the Company, actions required by Section 2.3(e)), each Company Option that is not a Cash Elected Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and
converted into an option to purchase Sandbridge Class A Common Stock upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are in effect with respect to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, including with respect to vesting,
expiration and forfeiture provisions (each, an “Assumed Option”). Each Assumed Option shall (i) cover a number of shares of Sandbridge Class A Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the
applicable Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and the Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole share) and (ii) have a per share exercise price determined by dividing the per share exercise price of the applicable
Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent); provided that such conversion shall in all events occur in a manner intended to comply with the applicable requirements
of Section 409A or Section 424 of the Code.
(b) At the Effective Time, each Vested Company Option with respect to which an election
to receive only cash (a “Cash Election”) has been properly made and not revoked pursuant to Section 2.4(j) (a “Cash Elected Company Option”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled
and converted into the right to receive, subject to Section 2.3(c), an amount in cash equal to, with respect to each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Cash Elected Company Option, (i) the Per Share Merger Consideration, without
interest, minus (ii) the exercise price applicable to the share of Company Common Stock underlying such Cash Elected Company Option (the “Cash Election Consideration”). All Cash
Election Consideration payable to the holders of Cash Elected Company Options (“Cash Election Optionholders”) will be paid as soon as practicable after the Closing Date through the regular payroll processes of the Company and shall be
subject to all applicable Tax and other withholdings.
(c) If the aggregate amount of Cash Election Consideration to be paid in respect of the
aggregate number of Cash Elected Company Options would exceed the Cash Election Consideration Cap, a portion of the Vested Company Options that are considered Cash Elected Company Options will be reduced in accordance with this Section 2.3(c) by
the minimum amount necessary to provide that the total Cash Election Consideration does not exceed the Cash Election Consideration Cap. Such reduction shall be applied to the Vested Company Options held by each Cash Election Optionholder in an
equitable manner as is determined by the Company in its sole discretion such that the Cash Election Consideration to be received by each Cash Election Optionholder is reduced by approximately the same percentage amount. Following any such
reduction in the Vested Company Options eligible to receive Cash Election
16
Consideration pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3(c), the remaining Company Options
held by each Cash Election Optionholder shall not be treated as Cash Elected Company Options for purposes of this Agreement and shall be converted into Assumed Options in accordance with Section 2.3(a).
(d) At the Effective Time, the Company Equity Plan shall terminate, provided
that the Assumed Options shall remain subject to the terms of the Company Equity Plan for so long as such Assumed Options remain outstanding. No new awards shall be granted under the Company Equity Plan on or following the Effective Time.
(e) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall have adopted appropriate resolutions and
shall take, or cause to be taken, all necessary or appropriate actions under the Company Equity Plans (and the underlying grant, award or similar agreements) or otherwise to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.3.
(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, but in
no event later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Sandbridge shall appoint Continental (or its applicable Affiliate) as an exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) and enter into an exchange agent agreement with the
Exchange Agent for the purpose of exchanging Certificates representing the Company Stock and any shares of Company Stock held in book-entry form on the stock transfer books of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, in either case,
for the portion of the Aggregate Share Consideration issuable in respect of such shares of Company Stock on the terms and subject to the other conditions set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary
herein, in the event that Continental is unable or unwilling to serve as the Exchange Agent, then Sandbridge and the Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter, but in no event later than the Closing Date, mutually agree upon
an exchange agent (in either case, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Sandbridge shall appoint and enter into an exchange agent agreement with such exchange agent, who shall for all purposes under this
Agreement constitute the Exchange Agent and each of Sandbridge and the Company shall mutually agree to any changes to the Letter of Transmittal in order to satisfy any requirements of such exchange agent (in either case, such agreement not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(b) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement,
Sandbridge shall mail or otherwise deliver, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail or otherwise deliver, to the Company Stockholders entitled to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(vii) a
Letter of Transmittal.
(c) At the Effective Time, Sandbridge shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the
Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the Company Stockholders and for exchange in accordance with this Section 2.4 through the Exchange Agent, of Sandbridge Class A Common Stock in book-entry form representing the portion of the Aggregate
Merger Consideration issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(vii) in exchange for the Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. All shares of Sandbridge Common Stock comprising the Aggregate Share Consideration
issuable in book-entry pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(vii) deposited with the Exchange Agent shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Exchange Fund”.
(d) Each Company Stockholder whose Company Stock has been converted into the right to
receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(vii) shall be entitled to receive such shares, and Sandbridge shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver such shares, upon (i) surrender of a Certificate
(or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof in the form required by the Letter of Transmittal, together with the posting of a customary bond if required by the Exchange Agent), together with the delivery of a properly completed and duly executed Letter
of Transmittal (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any documents or agreements required by the Letter of Transmittal), to the Exchange Agent or (ii) in the case of Company Stock held in book-entry form, a properly completed and duly executed
Letter of Transmittal (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any documents or agreements required by the Letter of Transmittal), to the Exchange Agent. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.4(d), each Certificate entitled
to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.1(b)(vii) shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the portion of the
Aggregate Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1(b)(vii).
17
(e) If the shares of Sandbridge Class A Common Stock are to be issued to a Person
other than the Company Stockholder in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Company Stock in book-entry form is registered, it shall be a condition to the issuance of the applicable shares of Sandbridge Class A Common Stock
that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Company Stock in book-entry form shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such consideration pay to the
Exchange Agent any transfer Taxes required as a result of such consideration being issued to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Company Stock in book-entry form or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent
that such transfer Taxes have been paid or are not payable.
(f) Each holder of record of Vested Company Options (a “Holder”) shall have the
right, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 2, to submit an Election in accordance with this Section 2.4(f) on or prior to the Election Deadline. The Company shall not waive or change the Election Deadline unless
such Election Deadline is waived or changed with respect to all Holders, the new election deadline is disclosed by the Company to all Holders on a date agreed to by Sandbridge, and Sandbridge has otherwise given its prior written consent (not to
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed or denied) to such waiver. “Election Deadline” means 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. The Parties shall cooperate to inform each
Holder of the selected date of the Election Deadline not more than fifteen (15) Business Days, and at least five (5) Business Days, prior to the Election Deadline.
(g) Each Holder shall specify in a request made in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 2.4(g) (an “Election”) whether such Holder desires to make a Cash Election with respect to such Holder’s Vested Company Options, and if so, the number of shares with respect to such Election applies; provided,
that a Holder shall not be permitted to make an Election in respect of more than 15% of the Vested Company Options held by such Holder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and any Election in excess of that threshold shall be reduced
automatically to 15% of the Vested Company Options held by such Holder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. If any Holder fails to make an Election or makes an Election only with respect to a portion of such Holder’s Vested Company
Options, the portion of such Holder’s Vested Company Options with respect to which such Holder did not make an Election shall not be treated as Cash Elected Company Options for purposes of this Agreement and shall be automatically treated as set
forth in Section 2.3(a).
(h) The Company shall prepare a form of election that is reasonably acceptable to
Sandbridge (the “Form of Election”), which shall be included with the Letter of Transmittal contemplated by Section 2.4(b) and the Company shall mail the Form of Election to Holders as of the record date as established by the board
of directors of the Company (the “Election Record Date”), in consultation with Sandbridge, not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the anticipated Election Deadline (the period between such mailing and the Election Deadline, the “Election
Period”).
(i) Any Election shall have been made properly only if the Exchange Agent shall have
received, by the Election Deadline, (i) a Form of Election properly completed and signed in accordance with the instructions therein, and (ii) the properly completed and executed documents required to be delivered by such Holder pursuant to the
other provisions of this Section 2.4, as applicable. Any Holder that does not make a valid Election by the Election Deadline shall be deemed to have made no Cash Election, and all of such Holder’s Vested Company Options shall
automatically be treated as set forth in Section 2.3(a).
(j) Any Holder may, at any time during the Election Period, revoke his, her or its
Election by written notice to the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline, together with a properly completed and signed revised Form of Election. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all Elections shall be
automatically deemed revoked upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 7. The Company shall have reasonable discretion to determine if any Election is not properly made, changed or revoked with respect to any Vested
Company Options (and none of the Company, Sandbridge, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent shall be under any duty to notify any Holder of any applicable defect). In the event that the Company makes a reasonable determination that an Election was not
properly made (including as a result of the Exchange Agent not receiving an Election by the Election Deadline), such Election shall be deemed to be ineffective, and the Vested Company Options covered by such Election shall be automatically
treated as set forth in Section 2.3(a).
18
(k) No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time
with respect to the Sandbridge Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Sandbridge Common Stock represented thereby until the holder of
such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with Section 2.4(d). Subject to the effect of escheat, Tax or other applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, Sandbridge shall pay or cause to be paid to
the holder of the certificates representing shares of Sandbridge Common Stock issued in exchange therefore, without interest, (i) promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days of such surrender and (ii) at the appropriate payment date,
the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date occurring after surrender payable with respect to such shares of Sandbridge Common Stock.
(l) No interest will be paid or accrued on the shares of Sandbridge Class A Common Stock
(or any portion thereof). From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates representing Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Stock except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law. On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates presented to the Exchange Agent or Sandbridge for any reason shall be converted into the applicable portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1(b)(vii).
(m) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and
there shall be no transfers of Company Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.
(n) The Aggregate Merger Consideration payable upon conversion of the Company Stock in
accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid and issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Stock.
(o) The Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the
effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like changes with respect to Sandbridge Common Stock occurring on or after the date
hereof and prior to the Effective Time.
(p) None of Sandbridge, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Affiliates
shall be liable to any Person in respect of any consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, unclaimed property, escheat, or similar Law. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by the
Company Stockholders for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Sandbridge, upon demand, and any holders of Company Stock who have not theretofore complied with this Section 2.4 shall thereafter look only to Sandbridge
for the Aggregate Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by the holders of Company Stock as of a date which is immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise
escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Sandbridge free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.
Section 2.5. Withholding. Sandbridge, the Group Companies, the Exchange Agent and any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and
withheld) from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld under applicable Tax Law. Other
than with respect to any compensatory payments subject to payroll withholding, the Person intending to withhold shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Person to whom amounts would otherwise be payable of any amounts that it intends to deduct and withhold prior to the payment with respect to which such amounts will be withheld and
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the payment recipient with reasonable opportunity to provide any forms or other documentation to avoid or
minimize such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of
this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Other than with respect to any compensatory
payment subject to payroll withholding, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to eliminate or reduce any such deduction or withholding (including through the request and provision of any statements, forms or other documents to reduce or eliminate any such deduction or withholding).
19
(a) No sooner than five (5) or later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing
Date, the Company shall provide to Sandbridge a written report setting forth a list of all of the following fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the preparation negotiation and execution of this Agreement
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (together with written invoices and wire transfer instructions for the payment thereof): (i) the fees and disbursements of outside counsel to the Company incurred in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the PIPE Investment) and the Ancillary Documents and (ii) the fees and expenses of any other agents, advisors, consultants, experts, financial advisors and other service providers engaged by
the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents (collectively, the “Company Transaction Expenses”). On the Closing Date following the Closing, Sandbridge shall pay or cause to be
paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds all such Company Transaction Expenses. Company Transaction Expenses shall not include any fees and expenses of the Company’s stockholders.
(b) No sooner than five (5) or later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing
Date, Sandbridge shall provide to the Company a written report setting forth a list of all fees, expenses and disbursements incurred by or on behalf of Sandbridge or Merger Sub for outside counsel, agents, advisors, consultants, experts,
financial advisors and other service providers engaged by or on behalf of Sandbridge or Merger Sub in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents or otherwise in connection with Sandbridge’s
operations (together with written invoices and wire transfer instructions for the payment thereof) (collectively, the “Sandbridge Transaction Expenses” and together with the Company Transaction Expenses, the “Transaction Expenses”).
On the Closing Date following the Closing, Sandbridge shall pay or cause to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds all such Sandbridge Transaction Expenses. Sandbridge Transaction Expenses shall not include any fees and expenses
of Sponsor.
Section 2.7. Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and owned by a holder who is
entitled to demand and has neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have properly demanded appraisal of such shares
in accordance with, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares, “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into Sandbridge Class A Common Stock, and shall instead represent the right to receive payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with and to the extent provided by Section 262 of the DGCL. At the Effective Time, (a) all Dissenting Shares shall be canceled, extinguished and cease to exist
and (b) the holders of Dissenting Shares shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to them under the DGCL. If any such holder fails to perfect
or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL or other applicable Law, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such
Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted, as of the Effective Time, into Sandbridge Class A Common
Stock upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement applicable to holders that have not properly demanded appraisal rights. The Company shall give Sandbridge prompt notice (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Stock, attempted withdrawals of such demands and
any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to rights to be paid the fair value of Dissenting Shares, and Sandbridge
shall have the right to participate in and, following the Effective Time, direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not,
except with the prior written consent of Sandbridge, make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such
demands or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or otherwise comply with the provisions under Section 262 of the DGCL, or agree or commit to do any of the foregoing.

equivalent thereof) under the Laws of its jurisdiction of formation or organization (as applicable). Section 3.1(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedules sets forth the jurisdiction of formation or organization (as applicable) for each
Group Company. Each Group Company has the requisite corporate, limited liability company or other applicable business entity power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its businesses as presently conducted,

(b) True and complete copies of the Governing Documents of each Group Company, including
the Company Stockholders Agreements, have been made available to Sandbridge, in each case, as amended and in effect as of the date of this Agreement. Such Governing Documents are in full force and effect, and no Group Company is in breach or

(c) Each Group Company is duly qualified or licensed to transact business and is in good
standing (or the equivalent thereof, if applicable, in each case, with respect to the jurisdictions that recognize the concept of good standing or any equivalent thereof) in each jurisdiction in which the property and assets owned, leased or
operated by it, or the nature of the business conducted by it, makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure to be so duly qualified or licensed and in good standing would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

approvals and consents to be obtained by Merger Sub pursuant to Section 5.10 (Merger Sub Shareholder Approval), (vi) the Sandbridge Stockholder Approval and (vii) any other consents, approvals, authorizations, designations, declarations,
waivers or filings, the absence of which would not have a Sandbridge Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Neither the execution, delivery or performance by a Sandbridge Party of this
Agreement nor the Ancillary Documents to which a Sandbridge Party is or will be a party nor the consummation by a Sandbridge Party of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby will, directly or indirectly (with or without due notice or
lapse of time or both) (i) result in any breach of any provision of the Governing Documents of a Sandbridge Party, (ii) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute a default or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, amendment,

(b) From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or
termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Sandbridge Parties, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall give counsel for the Company (in the case of any Sandbridge Party) or Sandbridge (in the
47
case of the Company), a reasonable opportunity to review in advance, and consider in good faith the
views of the other in connection with, any proposed written communication to any Governmental Entity relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents. Each of the Parties agrees not to participate in any
substantive meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone with any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless it consults with, in the case of any Sandbridge Party, the Company, or, in
the case of the Company, Sandbridge in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Entity, gives, in the case of any Sandbridge Party, the Company, or, in the case of the Company, Sandbridge, the opportunity to attend and
participate in such meeting or discussion.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, in the event that this Section
5.2 conflicts with any other covenant or agreement in this Article 5 that is intended to specifically address any subject matter, then such other covenant or agreement shall govern and control solely to the extent of such conflict.
(d) From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or
termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Sandbridge, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall each notify the other in writing promptly after learning of any shareholder demands or other shareholder
Proceedings (including derivative claims) relating to this Agreement, any Ancillary Document or any matters relating thereto (collectively, the “Transaction Litigation”) commenced against, in the case of Sandbridge, any of the Sandbridge
Parties or any of their respective Representatives (in their capacity as a representative of a Sandbridge Party) or, in the case of the Company, any Group Company or any of their respective Representatives (in their capacity as a representative
of a Sandbridge Party). Sandbridge and the Company shall each (i) keep the other reasonably informed regarding any Transaction Litigation, (ii) give the other the opportunity to, at its own cost and expense, participate in the defense, settlement
and compromise of any such Transaction Litigation and reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with the defense, settlement and compromise of any such Transaction Litigation, (iii) consider in good faith the other’s advice with respect
to any such Transaction Litigation and (iv) not settle any such Transaction Litigation without the prior written consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditions or delayed.
(a) From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing Date or
the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, except as necessary to complete the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement and in connection with other filings to be made by Sandbridge with the SEC and Sandbridge’s efforts to
pursue closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company, on the one hand, and Sandbridge, on the other hand, shall hold and shall cause their respective Representatives to hold in strict confidence, unless compelled to
disclose by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law, all documents and information concerning the other Party or its respective business or operations furnished to it by such other Party or its Representatives in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (except to the extent that such information can be shown to have been (a) previously known by the Party to which it was furnished, (b) in the public domain through no fault of such
Party or (c) later lawfully acquired from other sources, which source is not the agent of the other Party, by the Party to which it was furnished), and each party shall not use such information, except in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, or release or disclose such information to any other person, except its Representatives in connection with this Agreement. In the event that any Party believes that it is required to disclose any such confidential
information pursuant to applicable Laws, such Party shall give timely written notice to the other Parties so that such Parties may have an opportunity to obtain a protective order or other appropriate relief. Each Party shall be deemed to have
satisfied its obligations to hold confidential information concerning or supplied by the other Parties if it exercises the same care as it takes to preserve confidentiality for its own similar information, but in no event with less than a
commercially reasonable degree of care. The Parties acknowledge that some previously confidential information will be required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, in the event that this
48
Section 5.3(a) conflicts with any other covenant or agreement contained herein or any Ancillary
Document that contemplates the disclosure, use or provision of information or otherwise, then such other covenant or agreement contained herein shall govern and control to the extent of such conflict.
(b) From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing Date or
the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, upon reasonable advance written notice, the Company shall provide, or cause to be provided, to Sandbridge and its Representatives during normal business hours reasonable access to
the directors, officers, books and records of the Group Companies (in a manner so as to not interfere with the normal business operations of the Group Companies). Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Group Companies shall be required to
provide to Sandbridge or any of its Representatives any information (i) if and to the extent doing so would (A) violate any Law to which any Group Company is subject, including any Privacy Obligation, (B) result in the disclosure of any trade
secrets of third parties in breach of any Contract with such third party, (C) violate any legally binding obligation of any Group Company with respect to confidentiality, non-disclosure or privacy or (D) jeopardize protections afforded to any
Group Company under the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work product doctrine (provided that, in case of each of clauses (A) through (D), the Company shall, and shall cause the other Group Companies to, use
commercially reasonable efforts to (x) provide such access as can be provided (or otherwise convey such information regarding the applicable matter as can be conveyed) without violating such privilege, doctrine, obligation or Law and (y) provide
such information in a manner without violating such privilege, doctrine, obligation or Law), or (ii) if any Group Company, on the one hand, and any Sandbridge Party, any Sandbridge Non-Party Affiliate or any of their respective Representatives,
on the other hand, are adverse parties in a litigation and such information is reasonably pertinent thereto; provided that the Company shall, in the case of clause (i) or (ii), provide prompt written notice of the
withholding of access or information on any such basis.
Section 5.4. Notice of Developments. From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company shall promptly
(and in any event prior to the Closing) notify the Sandbridge Parties in writing, and Sandbridge shall promptly (and in any event prior to the Closing) notify
the Company in writing, upon any of the Group Companies or the Sandbridge Parties, as applicable, becoming aware: (i) of the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which has caused or may reasonably be expected to cause any condition to the obligations of any Party to effect the Merger not to be
satisfied, (ii) of any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger, (iii) of any notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity relating to the ability of the Parties to consummate the Merger or the timing thereof, or (iv) of the
commencement or initiation or threat of commencement or initiation of any Proceeding regarding the Merger. The delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section
5.4 shall not cure any breach of any representation or warranty requiring disclosure of such matter or any breach of any covenant, condition or agreement
contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or otherwise limit or affect the rights of, or the remedies available to, the Sandbridge Parties or the Company, as applicable.
(a) Subject to Section 5.5(b), Section 5.8 (Preparation of Registration
Statement / Proxy Statement) and Section 5.9 (Sandbridge Stockholder Approval), none of the Parties or any of their respective Representatives shall issue any press releases or make any public announcements with respect to this Agreement
or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of, prior to the Closing, the Company and Sandbridge or, after the Closing, Sandbridge; provided, however, that each Party may make any such announcement or
other communication (i) if such announcement or other communication is required by applicable Law, in which case the disclosing Party and its Representatives shall use reasonable best efforts to consult with the Company, if the disclosing party
is any Sandbridge Party, or Sandbridge, if the disclosing party is the Company, to review such announcement or communication and the opportunity to comment thereon and the disclosing Party shall consider such comments in good faith, (ii) to the
extent such announcements or other communications contain only
49
information previously disclosed in a public statement, press release or other communication previously
approved in accordance with this Section 5.4 and (iii) to Governmental Entities in connection with any Consents required to be made under this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby.
(b) The initial press release concerning this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be a joint press release in the form agreed by the Company and Sandbridge prior to the execution of this Agreement and such initial press release (the “Signing Press Release”) shall be released as promptly as
reasonably practicable after the execution of this Agreement on the day thereof. Promptly after the execution of this Agreement, Sandbridge shall file a current report on Form 8-K (the “Signing Filing”) with the Signing Press Release and a
description of this Agreement as required by, and in compliance with, the Securities Laws, which the Company shall have the opportunity to review and comment upon prior to filing and Sandbridge shall consider such comments in good faith. The
Company, on the one hand, and Sandbridge, on the other hand, shall mutually agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by either the Company or Sandbridge, as applicable) a press release announcing the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing Press Release”) prior to the Closing, and, on the Closing Date, the Parties shall cause the Closing Press Release to be released. Promptly after the Closing (but
in any event within four (4) Business Days after the Closing), Sandbridge shall file a current report on Form 8-K (the “Closing Filing”) with the Closing Press Release and disclosures required by Securities Laws. In connection with the
preparation of each of the Signing Press Release, the Signing Filing, the Closing Press Release and the Closing Filing, each Party shall, upon written request by any other Party, furnish such other Party with all information concerning itself,
its directors, officers and equityholders, and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary for such press release or filing.
(a) Tax Treatment.
(i) To the extent applicable, the Parties intend that the transactions shall be treated
as a transaction that qualifies under Section 351 of the Code or that the Merger shall be treated as a transaction that qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code, and each Party shall, and shall cause its
respective Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to so qualify. The Parties shall file all Tax Returns consistent with, and take no position inconsistent with (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise), the treatment described in this Section
5.6(a)(i) unless required to do so pursuant to a “determination” that is final within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, after the date hereof but prior to the time at which the
Required Sandbridge Stockholder Approval has been obtained Sandbridge and the Company mutually determine in good faith that the transactions are not expected to qualify as a transaction under Section 351 of the Code and that the Merger is not
reasonably expected to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to restructure the transactions contemplated hereby (such restructured transactions, the
“Alternative Transaction Structure”) in a manner that is reasonably expected to cause the Alternative Transaction Structure to so qualify, including by adding a second merger to take place immediately after the Merger whereby the surviving
company in the Merger would merge with and into a new limited liability company that is a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Sandbridge (“Newco”), with Newco being the surviving company in such merger.
(ii) Sandbridge and the Company hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of
reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a). From the date hereof through the Closing, and following the Closing, the Parties shall not, and shall not permit or cause their respective Affiliates
to, take any action, or knowingly fail to take any action, which action or failure to act prevents or impedes, or would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Merger qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment.
(b) Tax Matters Cooperation. Each of the Parties shall (and shall cause their
respective Affiliates to) cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by another Party, in connection with the filing of relevant Tax Returns, and any Tax Proceeding.
50
(c) Transfer Taxes. The Surviving Company shall be responsible for any sale,
use, real property transfer, stamp or other similar transfer Taxes imposed in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(a) From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the termination
of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company shall not, and shall cause the other Group Companies and its and their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate, encourage (including by means of
furnishing or disclosing information), facilitate, discuss or negotiate, directly or indirectly, any inquiry, proposal or offer (written or oral) with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal; (ii) furnish or disclose any non-public information
to any Person in connection with, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Company Acquisition Proposal; (iii) enter into any Contract or other arrangement or understanding regarding a Company Acquisition Proposal; (iv) prepare or take
any steps in connection with a public offering of any Equity Securities of any Group Company (or any Affiliate or successor of any Group Company); or (v) otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, or knowingly facilitate or
encourage any effort or attempt by any Person to do or seek to do any of the foregoing. The Company agrees to (A) notify Sandbridge promptly upon receipt of any Company Acquisition Proposal by any Group Company, and to describe the material terms
and conditions of any such Company Acquisition Proposal in reasonable detail (including the identity of the Persons making such Company Acquisition Proposal) and (B) keep Sandbridge reasonably informed on a current basis of any modifications to
such offer or information.
(b) From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the termination
of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Sandbridge Parties shall not, and each of them shall cause their Representatives not to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate, encourage (including by means of furnishing or disclosing
information), facilitate, discuss or negotiate, directly or indirectly, any inquiry, proposal or offer (written or oral) with respect to a Sandbridge Acquisition Proposal; (ii) furnish or disclose any non-public information to any Person in
connection with, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Sandbridge Acquisition Proposal; (iii) enter into any Contract or other arrangement or understanding regarding a Sandbridge Acquisition Proposal; (iv) prepare or take any steps
in connection with an offering of any securities of any Sandbridge Party (or any Affiliate or successor of any Sandbridge Party); or (v) otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, or knowingly facilitate or encourage any
effort or attempt by any Person to do or seek to do any of the foregoing. Sandbridge agrees to (A) notify the Company promptly upon receipt of any Sandbridge Acquisition Proposal by any Sandbridge Party, and to describe the material terms and
conditions of any such Sandbridge Acquisition Proposal in reasonable detail (including the identity of any person or entity making such Sandbridge Acquisition Proposal) and (B) keep the Company reasonably informed on a current basis of any
modifications to such offer or information.
Section 5.8. Preparation of
Registration Statement / Proxy Statement. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, Sandbridge and the Company shall prepare and
mutually agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by either Sandbridge or the Company, as applicable), and
Sandbridge shall file with the SEC, the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement (it being understood that the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement shall include a prospectus of Sandbridge which will be included therein as a prospectus and which will be used for the Sandbridge Stockholders Meeting to adopt and approve the Transaction Proposals and other
matters reasonably related to the Transaction Proposals, all in accordance with and as required by Sandbridge’s Governing Documents, applicable Law, and any applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE). Each of Sandbridge and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (a) cause the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement to comply in all
material respects with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC (including, with respect to the Group Companies, the provision of financial
statements of, and any other information with respect to, the Group Companies for all periods, and in the form, required to be included in the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement under Securities Laws (after giving effect to any waivers received) or in response to any comments from the SEC); (b) promptly notify the others of, reasonably
cooperate with each other with respect to and respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff; (c) have the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement declared

Registration Statement / Proxy Statement, Sandbridge shall take any and all actions required under any applicable federal or state securities laws in connection with the issuance of shares of Sandbridge Common Stock, in each case to be issued or
issuable to the Company Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement, and as promptly as practicable after finalization of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement, each of the Company and Sandbridge shall mail the Registration Statement / Proxy
Statement to their respective stockholders. Sandbridge, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall promptly furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the other all information concerning such Party, its Non-Party Affiliates and their
respective Representatives that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 5.8 or for including in any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of
Sandbridge to the SEC or the NYSE in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents, including, delivering customary tax representation letters to counsel to enable such counsel to deliver any tax
opinions requested or required by the SEC to be submitted in connection therewith. If any Party becomes aware of any information that should be disclosed in an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement, then (i) such
Party shall promptly inform, in the case of any Sandbridge Party, the Company, or, in the case of the Company, Sandbridge, thereof; (ii) such Party shall prepare and mutually agree upon with, in the case of Sandbridge, the Company, or, in the
case of the Company, Sandbridge (in either case, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement; (iii) Sandbridge shall file such mutually agreed
upon amendment or supplement with the SEC; and (iv) the Parties shall reasonably cooperate, if appropriate, in mailing such amendment or supplement to the Pre-Closing Sandbridge Holders. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to the
Registration Statement / Proxy Statement will be made by Sandbridge without providing the Company a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto. Sandbridge
shall consider in good faith the comments of the Company in respect of such filing, amendment or supplement, and shall cooperate in good faith with the Company with respect to the incorporation of such comments. Sandbridge shall as promptly as
reasonably practicable advise the Company of the time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement or the time at which any supplement or amendment has been filed, the issuance of any stop order relating thereto or the
suspension of the qualification of shares of Sandbridge Common Stock for offering or sale in any jurisdiction (and Sandbridge and the Company shall each use its reasonable best efforts to have any such stop order or suspension lifted, reversed or
otherwise terminated), or of any request by the SEC for amendment of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests from the SEC for additional information. Each of the Parties shall ensure that
none of the information related to it or any of its Non-Party Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives supplied by or on his, her or its behalf for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement / Proxy
Statement will, at the time the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement is initially filed with the SEC, at any time at which it is amended, or at the time it becomes effective under the Securities Act contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit 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 are made, not misleading. Sandbridge shall consult with the Company in good faith in
connection with any response to comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement and any amendment to the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement filed in response thereto, shall consider in good
faith the comments of the Company in respect thereof and shall cooperate in good faith with the Company with respect to the incorporation of any such comments.

reasonably deem necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (viii) adjournment of the Sandbridge Stockholders Meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies because there are not sufficient votes
to approve and adopt any of the foregoing (such proposals in clauses (i) through (viii) together, the “Transaction Proposals”); provided, that Sandbridge may adjourn the Sandbridge Stockholders Meeting, but only to
(w) to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining the Sandbridge Stockholder Approval, (x) for the absence of a quorum, (y) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that
Sandbridge has determined in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel is required under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the Pre-Closing Sandbridge Holders prior to
the Sandbridge Stockholders Meeting, (z) to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining the Sandbridge Stockholder Approval in the event that the holders of Sandbridge Class A Common Stock have elected to redeem a number of shares of
Sandbridge Class A Common Stock as of such time that would reasonably be expected to result in the condition set forth in Section 6.3(c) not being satisfied or (aa) upon receipt of a Company Adjournment Request; provided, further,
that the Sandbridge Stockholders Meeting shall not be adjourned to a date that is more than fifteen (15) days after the date for which the Sandbridge Stockholders Meeting was originally scheduled (in addition to any adjournments required by
applicable law) and shall not be held later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Termination Date. By written notice, the Company may request that Sandbridge adjourn the Sandbridge Stockholders Meeting (“Company Adjournment Request”)
until the earlier of (A) 15 days after the date for which the Sandbridge Stockholders Meeting was then scheduled or (B) the date that is the third Business Day prior to the Termination Date, if the Company believes in good faith that such
adjournment is necessary in order to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining the Sandbridge Stockholder Approval or for the absence of a quorum of the Sandbridge stockholders. Upon receipt of the Company Adjournment Request,
Sandbridge shall adjourn the Sandbridge Stockholders Meeting for the period of time specified in the Company Adjournment Request; provided, that the Company may not issue more than on Company Adjournment Request. The board of directors of

price under each PIPE Investor’s applicable Subscription Agreement in accordance with its terms. In the event that any PIPE Investor terminates, attempts to terminate or provides written notice to
Sandbridge of its intent to terminate such PIPE Investor’s obligations under its Subscription Agreement, then, notwithstanding the restrictions on
replacements in the foregoing, Sandbridge shall be entitled to arrange for the purchase by third Persons of the subject shares of Sandbridge Class A Common Stock in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the same terms and conditions as the other PIPE Investors have agreed pursuant to their respective Subscription Agreements; provided that such third Persons shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company as confirmed in writing by the Company prior
to Sandbridge’s entry into a Subscription Agreement with such third Persons.
(a) Each Party agrees that (i) all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing
in favor of the directors and officers of each Sandbridge Party, as provided in the applicable Sandbridge Party’s Governing Documents or otherwise in effect as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, in either case, solely with respect to any
matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time shall survive the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect from and after the Effective Time for a period of six (6) years and (ii) Sandbridge will
perform and discharge, or cause to be performed and discharged, all obligations to provide such indemnity and exculpation during such six (6)-year period. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, during such six (6)-year period,
Sandbridge shall advance, or caused to be advanced, expenses in connection with such indemnification as provided in the applicable
55
Sandbridge Party’s Governing Documents or other applicable agreements as in effect immediately prior to
the Effective Time. The indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of the Sandbridge Parties’ Governing Documents shall not, during such six (6)-year period, be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Effective
Time in any manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, or at any time prior to such time, were directors or officers of any Sandbridge Party (the “Sandbridge
D&O Persons”) entitled to be so indemnified, have their liability limited or be exculpated with respect to any matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time and relating to the fact that such Sandbridge D&O Person was a
director or officer of any Sandbridge Party immediately prior to the Effective Time, unless such amendment, repeal or other modification is required by applicable Law.
(b) Sandbridge shall not have any obligation under this Section 5.17 to any
Sandbridge D&O Person when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine (and such determination shall have become final and non-appealable) that the indemnification of such Sandbridge D&O Person in the manner
contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.
(c) For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, Sandbridge shall maintain,
without any lapses in coverage, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for the benefit of those Persons who are currently covered by any comparable insurance policies of the Sandbridge Parties as of the date of this Agreement with respect
to matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time. Such insurance policies shall provide coverage on terms (with respect to coverage and amount) that are substantially the same as (and no less favorable in the aggregate to the insured than)
the coverage provided under Sandbridge’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date of this Agreement; provided that Sandbridge shall not be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of three hundred percent
(300%) of the most recent annual premium paid by Sandbridge prior to the date of this Agreement and, in such event, Sandbridge shall purchase the maximum coverage available for three hundred percent (300%) of the most recent annual premium paid
by Sandbridge prior to the date of this Agreement.
(d) If Sandbridge or any of its successors or assigns (i) shall merge or consolidate
with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the surviving or continuing corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of their respective properties and assets as an
entity in one or a series of related transactions to any Person, then in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors or assigns of Sandbridge shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.17.
(e) The Sandbridge D&O Persons entitled to the indemnification, liability
limitation, exculpation and insurance set forth in this Section 5.17 are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.17. This Section 5.17 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Sandbridge.
(a) Each Party agrees that (i) all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing
in favor of the directors and officers of the Group Companies, as provided in the Group Companies’ Governing Documents or otherwise in effect as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, in either case, solely with respect to any matters
occurring on or prior to the Effective Time, shall survive the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect from and after the Effective Time for a period of six (6) years and (ii) Sandbridge will cause
the applicable Group Companies to perform and discharge all obligations to provide such indemnity and exculpation during such six (6)-year period. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, during such six (6)-year period, Sandbridge
shall cause the applicable Group Companies to advance expenses in connection with such indemnification as provided in the Group Companies’ Governing Documents or other applicable agreements in effect as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.
The indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of the Group Companies’ Governing Documents shall not, during such six (6)-year period, be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Effective Time in any manner that
would materially and adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of the Effective Time or at any time prior to the Effective Time, were directors or officers of the Group Companies (the “Company D&O Persons”) entitled
to be so
56
indemnified, have their liability limited or be exculpated with respect to any matters occurring prior
to Closing and relating to the fact that such Company D&O Person was a director or officer of any Group Company prior to the Effective Time, unless such amendment, repeal or other modification is required by applicable Law.
(b) None of Sandbridge or the Group Companies shall have any obligation under this Section
5.17(e) to any Company D&O Person when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine (and such determination shall have become final and non-appealable) that the indemnification of such Company D&O Person in
the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.
(c) The Company shall purchase, at or prior to the Closing, and Sandbridge shall
maintain, or cause to be maintained, in effect for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, without lapses in coverage, a “tail” policy providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the benefit of those Persons
who are currently covered by any comparable insurance policies of the Group Companies as of the date of this Agreement with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time (the “Company D&O Tail Policy”). Such
“tail” policy shall provide coverage on terms (with respect to coverage and amount) that are substantially the same as (and no less favorable in the aggregate to the insured than) the coverage provided under the Group Companies’ directors’ and
officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date of this Agreement; provided that none of the Company, Sandbridge or any of their respective Affiliates shall pay a premium for such “tail” policy in excess of three hundred percent
(300%) of the most recent annual premium paid by the Group Companies prior to the date of this Agreement and, in such event, the Company, Sandbridge or one of their respective Affiliates shall purchase the maximum coverage available for three
hundred percent (300%) of the most recent annual premium paid by the Group Companies prior to the date of this Agreement.
(d) If Sandbridge or any of its successors or assigns (i) shall merge or consolidate
with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the surviving or continuing corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of their respective properties and assets as an
entity in one or a series of related transactions to any Person, then in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors or assigns of Sandbridge shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.17(e).
(e) The Company D&O Persons entitled to the indemnification, liability limitation,
exculpation and insurance set forth in this Section 5.17(e) are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.17(e). This Section 5.17(e) shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Sandbridge.

appropriate such that effective immediately after the Effective Time the Sandbridge Board shall initially consist of up to nine (9) directors.

Section 8.17. Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby,
or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that
irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this
Agreement, in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled
at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any
reason at law or equity.
Section 8.18. Trust Account Waiver. Reference is made to the final prospectus of Sandbridge, filed with the SEC (File No. 333-248320) on September 16, 2020 (the “Prospectus”). The Company acknowledges and agrees and understands that Sandbridge has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and from
certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of Sandbridge’s public stockholders
(including overallotment shares acquired by Sandbridge’s underwriters, the “Public Stockholders”), and
Sandbridge may disburse monies from the Trust Account only in the express circumstances described in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of Sandbridge entering into this Agreement, and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its
Representatives that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this
66
Agreement, none of the Company nor any of it Representatives does now or shall at any time hereafter have
any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a
result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between Sandbridge or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and, the Company or any of its Representatives, on the
other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Trust Account Released
Claims”). The Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any Trust Account Released Claims that it or any of its Representatives may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions
therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations or Contracts with Sandbridge or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason
whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of any agreement with Sandbridge or its Affiliates).

ARTICLE V
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
For the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation it is further provided that:
A. Subject to that certain Stockholders Agreement, dated as of [ ● ], by and among
the Corporation and certain stockholders of the Corporation (as such agreement may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Stockholders Agreement”) and the special rights of
the holders of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, the directors of the Corporation shall be classified with respect to the time for which they severally hold office into three classes, designated as Class I,
Class II and Class III. The initial Class I directors shall serve for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of the stockholders following the date of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate; the initial Class II directors shall serve
for a term expiring at the second annual meeting of the stockholders following the date of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate; and the initial Class III directors shall serve for a term expiring at the third annual meeting following the
date of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate. At each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation beginning with the first annual meeting of the stockholders following the date of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate,
subject to the Stockholders Agreement and the special rights of the holders of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, the successors of the class of directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be elected to
hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of the stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election. Each director shall hold office until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her
earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director. Subject to the Stockholders Agreement, the Board of Directors is authorized to assign members of the
Board of Directors already in office to Class I, Class II and Class III.
B. Except as otherwise expressly provided by the DGCL or this Second Amended and Restated Certificate, the business and affairs of the
Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed exclusively by one or more resolutions adopted from time to time by the
Board of Directors.
C. Subject to the Stockholders Agreement and the special rights of the holders of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock to
elect directors, the Board of Directors or any individual director may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (66 and 2/3%) of the voting power of all of the
then outstanding shares of voting stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at an election of directors.
D. Subject to the Stockholders Agreement and the special rights of the holders of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock to
elect directors, except as otherwise provided by law, any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, retirement, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase
in the number of directors shall be filled exclusively by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (other than any directors elected by the separate vote
of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock), and shall not be filled by the stockholders. Subject to the Stockholders Agreement, any director appointed in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office until the expiration of
the term of the class to which such director shall have been appointed or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, or removal.
E. Whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right, voting separately
as a series or separately as a class with one or more such other series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, removal and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the
terms of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Certificate of Designation). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article V, the number of directors that may be elected by the holders of any such series of
Preferred Stock shall be in addition to the number fixed pursuant to paragraph B of this Article V, and the total number of directors constituting the whole Board of Directors shall be automatically adjusted accordingly. Except as
otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designation(s) in respect of one or more series of Preferred Stock, whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock having such right to elect additional directors are divested of such right pursuant
to the provisions of such Certificate of Designation(s), the terms of office of all such additional directors elected by the holders of such series of Preferred Stock, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation,
disqualification or removal of such additional directors, shall forthwith terminate (in which case each such director thereupon shall cease to be qualified as, and shall cease to be, a director) and the total authorized number of directors of the
Corporation shall automatically be reduced accordingly.
F. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt,
amend or repeal the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Corporation (as amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Bylaws”). In addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by
applicable law or by this Second Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Certificate of Designation in respect of one or more series of Preferred Stock) or the Bylaws of the Corporation, the adoption, amendment or repeal of the Bylaws of
the Corporation by the stockholders of the Corporation shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (66 and 2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of the Corporation entitled to
vote generally in an election of directors.
G. The directors of the Corporation need not be elected by written ballot unless the Bylaws so provide.
ARTICLE VI

STOCKHOLDERS
A. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at an annual or special
meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, and shall not be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting
separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more other such series, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, to the extent expressly so provided by the applicable Certificate of Designation relating
to such series of Preferred Stock, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares of the relevant series of Preferred Stock having not less than the minimum number of

Amended and Restated Bylaws of
Owlet, Inc.
Article I - Corporate Offices
1.1 Registered Office.
The address of the registered office of Owlet, Inc. (the “Corporation”) in the State of Delaware, and the name of its registered agent at
such address, shall be as set forth in the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation, as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”).
1.2 Other Offices.
The Corporation may have additional offices at any place or places, within or outside the State of Delaware, as the Corporation’s board of
directors (the “Board”) may from time to time establish or as the business of the Corporation may require.
Article II - Meetings of Stockholders
2.1 Place of Meetings.
Meetings of stockholders shall be held at any place, within or outside the State of Delaware, designated by the Board. The Board may, in its sole
discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized by Section 211(a)(2) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the
“DGCL”). In the absence of any such designation or determination, stockholders’ meetings shall be held at the Corporation’s principal executive office.
2.2 Annual Meeting.
The Board shall designate the date and time of the annual meeting. At the annual meeting, directors shall be elected and other proper business
properly brought before the meeting in accordance with Section 2.4 may be transacted. The Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled annual meeting of stockholders.
2.3 Special Meeting.
Special meetings of the stockholders may be called only by such persons and only in such manner as set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation.
No business may be transacted at any special meeting of stockholders other than the business specified in the notice of such meeting. The Board may
postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled special meeting of stockholders.
2.4 Notice of Business to be Brought before a Meeting.
(a) At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such
business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (i) specified in a notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Board, (ii) if not
specified in a notice of meeting, otherwise brought before the meeting by the Board or the Chairman of the Board or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder present in person who (A) (1) was a record owner of
shares of the Corporation both at the time of giving the notice provided for in this Section 2.4 and at the time of the meeting, (2) is entitled to vote at the meeting and (3) has complied with this Section 2.4 in all
applicable respects or (B) properly made such proposal in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (as so amended and inclusive of such rules and
regulations, the “Exchange Act”). The foregoing clause (iii) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to propose business to be brought before an annual meeting of the stockholders. The only matters that may be brought before a
special meeting are the matters specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the person calling the meeting pursuant to Section 2.3, and stockholders shall not be permitted to propose business to be brought
before a special meeting of the stockholders. For purposes of this Section 2.4, “present in person” shall mean that the stockholder proposing that the business be brought before the annual meeting of the Corporation, or a
qualified representative of such proposing stockholder, appear at such annual meeting. A “qualified representative” of such proposing stockholder shall be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or any other
person authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or
electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders. Stockholders seeking to nominate persons for election to the Board must comply with Section 2.5, and this
Section 2.4 shall not be applicable to nominations except as expressly provided in Section 2.5.
(b) For business to be properly brought before an annual
meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must (i) provide Timely Notice (as defined below) thereof in writing and in proper form to the Secretary of the Corporation and (ii) provide any updates or supplements to such notice at the times and
in the forms required by this Section 2.4. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one
hundred twenty (120) days prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year, to be timely, a
stockholder’s notice must be so delivered, or mailed and received, not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day prior to
such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or, if later, the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made by the Corporation; provided,
further, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary date, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be so delivered, or mailed and received, not
later than the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or, if later, the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made by the Corporation (such notice within such time periods, “Timely Notice”). In no event shall any adjournment or
postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of Timely Notice as described above.
(c) To be in proper form for purposes of this Section
2.4, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary of the Corporation shall set forth:
2
(i) As to each Proposing Person (as
defined below), (A) the name and address of such Proposing Person (including, if applicable, the name and address that appear on the Corporation’s books and records); and (B) the class or series and number of shares of the Corporation that
are, directly or indirectly, owned of record or beneficially owned (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by such Proposing Person, except that such Proposing Person shall in all events be deemed to beneficially own any
shares of any class or series of the Corporation as to which such Proposing Person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time in the future (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) are referred to
as “Stockholder Information”);
(ii) As to each Proposing Person, (A)
the full notional amount of any securities that, directly or indirectly, underlie any “derivative security” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(c) under the Exchange Act) that constitutes a “call equivalent position” (as such term is
defined in Rule 16a-1(b) under the Exchange Act) (“Synthetic Equity Position”) and that is, directly or indirectly, held or maintained by such Proposing Person with respect to any shares of any class or series of shares of the
Corporation; provided that, for the purposes of the definition of “Synthetic Equity Position,” the term “derivative security” shall also include any security or instrument that would not otherwise
constitute a “derivative security” as a result of any feature that would make any conversion, exercise or similar right or privilege of such security or instrument becoming determinable only at some future date or upon the happening of a
future occurrence, in which case the determination of the amount of securities into which such security or instrument would be convertible or exercisable shall be made assuming that such security or instrument is immediately convertible or
exercisable at the time of such determination; and, provided, further, that any Proposing Person satisfying the requirements of Rule 13d-1(b)(1) under the Exchange Act (other than a Proposing Person
that so satisfies Rule 13d-1(b)(1) under the Exchange Act solely by reason of Rule 13d-1(b)(1)(ii)(E)) shall not be deemed to hold or maintain the notional amount of any securities that underlie a Synthetic Equity Position held by such
Proposing Person as a hedge with respect to a bona fide derivatives trade or position of such Proposing Person arising in the ordinary course of such Proposing Person’s business as a derivatives dealer, (B) any rights to dividends on the
shares of any class or series of shares of the Corporation owned beneficially by such Proposing Person that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation, (C) any material pending or threatened legal proceeding in
which such Proposing Person is a party or material participant involving the Corporation or any of its officers or directors, or any affiliate of the Corporation, (D) any other material relationship between such Proposing Person, on the one
hand, and the Corporation or any affiliate of the Corporation, on the other hand, (E) any direct or indirect material interest in any material contract or agreement of such Proposing Person with the Corporation or any affiliate of the
Corporation (including, in any such case, any employment agreement, collective bargaining agreement or consulting agreement), (F) a representation that such Proposing Person intends or is part of a group that intends to deliver a proxy
statement or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or otherwise solicit proxies from stockholders in support of such proposal and (G) any
other information relating to such Proposing Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies or consents by such Proposing Person in support of
the business proposed to be brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A) through (G) are referred to as “Disclosable Interests”); provided, however, that Disclosable Interests shall not include any such disclosures with respect to the ordinary course business activities of any broker, dealer,
commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is a Proposing Person solely as a result of being the stockholder directed to prepare and submit the notice required by these bylaws on behalf of a beneficial owner; and
3
(iii) As to each item of business that
the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting, (A) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting and any material interest in
such business of each Proposing Person, (B) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the bylaws, the language of
the proposed amendment), and (C) a reasonably detailed description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings (x) between or among any of the Proposing Persons or (y) between or among any Proposing Person and any other person or
entity (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder; and (D) any other information relating to such item of business that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing
required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies in support of the business proposed to be brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that the disclosures required by this Section 2.4(c)(iii) shall not include any disclosures with respect to any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is a
Proposing Person solely as a result of being the stockholder directed to prepare and submit the notice required by these bylaws on behalf of a beneficial owner.
For purposes of this Section 2.4, the term “Proposing Person” shall mean (i) the
stockholder providing the notice of business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting, (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the notice of the business proposed to be brought before the annual
meeting is made, and (iii) any participant (as defined in paragraphs (a)(ii)-(vi) of Instruction 3 to Item 4 of Schedule 14A) with such stockholder in such solicitation.
(d) A Proposing Person shall update and supplement its
notice to the Corporation of its intent to propose business at an annual meeting, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be true and correct as of
the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or
mailed and received by, the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) business days after the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (in the case of the
update and supplement required to be made as of such record date), and not later than eight (8) business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment or postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first
practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed) (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement
thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other Section of these bylaws shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided
by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder to amend or update any proposal or to submit any new proposal, including by changing or
adding matters, business or resolutions proposed to be brought before a meeting of the stockholders.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the
contrary, no business shall be conducted at an annual meeting that is not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with this Section 2.4. The presiding officer of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine that the
business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with this Section 2.4, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting
shall not be transacted.
4
(f) This Section 2.4 is expressly intended to
apply to any business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders other than any proposal made in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and included in the Corporation’s proxy statement. In addition to the
requirements of this Section 2.4 with respect to any business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting, each Proposing Person shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to any such business.
Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to affect the rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.
(g) For purposes of these bylaws, “public disclosure”
shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
2.5 Notice of Nominations for Election to the Board.
(a) Nominations of any person for election to the Board
at an annual meeting or at a special meeting (but only if the election of directors is a matter specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the person calling such special meeting) may be made at such meeting only
(i) as provided in that certain Stockholders Agreement, dated as of [ ˜ ], by and among the Corporation and certain stockholders of the Corporation (as such agreement may be amended,
restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Stockholders Agreement”), (ii), by or at the direction of the Board, including by any committee or persons authorized to do so by the Board or
these bylaws, or (iii) by a stockholder present in person (A) who was a record owner of shares of the Corporation both at the time of giving the notice provided for in this Section 2.5 and at the time of the meeting, (B) is entitled
to vote at the meeting, and (C) has complied with this Section 2.5 as to such notice and nomination. For purposes of this Section 2.5, “present in person” shall mean that the stockholder proposing that the business be
brought before the meeting of the Corporation, or a qualified representative of such stockholder, appear at such meeting. A “qualified representative” of such proposing stockholder shall be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner
of such stockholder or any other person authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must
produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders. Other than as provided in the Stockholders Agreement, the foregoing clause (iii) shall be
the exclusive means for a stockholder to make any nomination of a person or persons for election to the Board at an annual meeting or special meeting.
(b) (i) Without qualification, for a stockholder to make
any nomination of a person or persons for election to the Board at an annual meeting, the stockholder must (1) provide Timely Notice (as defined in Section 2.4) thereof in writing and in proper form to the Secretary of the
Corporation, (2) provide the information, agreements and questionnaires with respect to such stockholder and its candidate for nomination as required to be set forth by this Section 2.5 and (3) provide any updates or supplements to
such notice at the times and in the forms required by this Section 2.5.
(ii) Without qualification, if the election of directors is a matter specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the
direction of the person calling a special meeting, then for a stockholder to make any nomination of a person or persons for election to the Board at a special meeting, the stockholder must (i) provide Timely Notice thereof in writing and in
proper form to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, (ii) provide the information with respect to such stockholder and its candidate for nomination as required by this Section 2.5 and
(iii) provide any updates or supplements to such notice at the times and in the forms required by this Section 2.5. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice for nominations to be made at a special meeting must be delivered to, or mailed and
received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such special meeting and not later
than the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such special meeting or, if later, the tenth (10th)
day following the day on which public disclosure (as defined in Section 2.4) of the date of such special meeting was first made.
5
(iii) In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or special meeting or the announcement thereof
commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.
(iv) In no event may a Nominating Person provide Timely Notice with respect to a greater number of director candidates than are
subject to election by shareholders at the applicable meeting. If the Corporation shall, subsequent to such notice, increase the number of directors subject to election at the meeting, such notice as to any additional nominees shall be due on
the later of (i) the conclusion of the time period for Timely Notice, (ii) the date set forth in Section 2.5(b)(ii) or (iii) the tenth day following the date of public disclosure (as defined in Section 2.4) of such increase.
(c) To be in proper form for purposes of this Section 2.5,
a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary of the Corporation shall set forth:
(i) As to each Nominating Person (as
defined below), the Stockholder Information (as defined in Section 2.4(c)(i), except that for purposes of this Section 2.5, the term “Nominating Person” shall be substituted for the term “Proposing Person” in all
places it appears in Section 2.4(c)(i));
(ii) As to each Nominating Person, any
Disclosable Interests (as defined in Section 2.4(c)(ii), except that for purposes of this Section 2.5, the term “Nominating Person” shall be substituted for the term “Proposing Person” in all places it appears in
Section 2.4(c)(ii) and the disclosure with respect to the business to be brought before the meeting in Section 2.4(c)(ii) shall be made with respect to the election of directors at the meeting); and
(iii) As to each candidate whom a
Nominating Person proposes to nominate for election as a director, (A) all information with respect to such candidate for nomination that would be required to be set forth in a stockholder’s notice pursuant to this Section 2.5 if such
candidate for nomination were a Nominating Person, (B) all information relating to such candidate for nomination that is required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of
proxies for election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14(a) under the Exchange Act (including such candidate’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if
elected), (C) a description of any direct or indirect material interest in any material contract or agreement between or among any Nominating Person, on the one hand, and each candidate for nomination or his or her respective associates or
any other participants in such solicitation, on the other hand, including, without limitation, all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 under Regulation S-K if such Nominating Person were the “registrant”
for purposes of such rule and the candidate for nomination were a director or executive officer of such registrant and (D) a completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement as provided in Section 2.5(f).
For purposes of this Section 2.5, the term “Nominating Person” shall mean (i) the stockholder providing the notice of the nomination
proposed to be made at the meeting, (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the notice of the nomination proposed to be made at the meeting is made, and (iii) any other participant in such solicitation.
6
(d) A stockholder providing notice of any nomination
proposed to be made at a meeting shall further update and supplement such notice, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be true and correct as of
the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or
mailed and received by, the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) business days after the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (in the case of the
update and supplement required to be made as of such record date), and not later than eight (8) business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment or postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first
practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed) (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement
thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other Section of these bylaws shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided
by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder to amend or update any nomination or to submit any new nomination.
(e) In addition to the requirements of this Section
2.5 with respect to any nomination proposed to be made at a meeting, each Nominating Person shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to any such nominations.
(f) To be eligible to be a candidate for election as a
director of the Corporation at an annual or special meeting, a candidate must be nominated in the manner prescribed in Section 2.5 and the candidate for nomination, whether nominated by the Board or by a stockholder of record, must
have previously delivered (in accordance with the time period prescribed for delivery in a notice to such candidate given by or on behalf of the Board), to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the
Corporation, (i) a completed written questionnaire (in a form provided by the Corporation) with respect to the background, qualifications, stock ownership and independence of such proposed nominee and (ii) a written representation and
agreement (in form provided by the Corporation) that such candidate for nomination (A) is not and, if elected as a director during his or her term of office, will not become a party to (1) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and
has not given and will not give any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such proposed nominee, if elected as a director of the Corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) or (2)
any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such proposed nominee’s ability to comply, if elected as a director of the Corporation, with such proposed nominee’s fiduciary duties under applicable law, (B) is not, and will not
become a party to, any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation or reimbursement for service as a director that has not been disclosed to
the Corporation and (C) if elected as a director of the Corporation, will comply with all applicable corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality, stock ownership and trading and other policies and guidelines of the Corporation
applicable to directors and in effect during such person’s term in office as a director (and, if requested by any candidate for nomination, the Secretary of the Corporation shall provide to such candidate for nomination all such policies and
guidelines then in effect).
(g) The Board may also require any proposed candidate for
nomination as a Director to furnish such other information as may reasonably be requested by the Board in writing prior to the meeting of stockholders at which such candidate’s nomination is to be acted upon in order for the Board to
determine the eligibility of such candidate for nomination to be an independent director of the Corporation in accordance with the Corporation’s corporate governance guidelines.
7
(h) A candidate for nomination as a director shall
further update and supplement the materials delivered pursuant to this Section 2.5, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be true and correct as of the
record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed
and received by, the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation (or any other office specified by the Corporation in any public announcement) not later than five (5) business days after the record date
for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of such record date), and not later than eight (8) business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any
adjournment or postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed) (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10)
business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other Section of these bylaws shall not limit the
Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder to amend or
update any proposal or to submit any new proposal, including by changing or adding nominees, matters, business or resolutions proposed to be brought before a meeting of the stockholders.
(i) No candidate shall be eligible for nomination as a
director of the Corporation unless such candidate for nomination and the Nominating Person seeking to place such candidate’s name in nomination has complied with this Section 2.5. The presiding officer at the meeting shall, if the
facts warrant, determine that a nomination was not properly made in accordance with Section 2.5, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare such determination to the meeting, the defective nomination shall be
disregarded and any ballots cast for the candidate in question (but in the case of any form of ballot listing other qualified nominees, only the ballots cast for the nominee in question) shall be void and of no force or effect.
(j) Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the
contrary, no candidate for nomination shall be eligible to be seated as a director of the Corporation unless nominated and elected in accordance with Section 2.5.
2.6 Notice of Stockholders’ Meetings.
Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be sent or
otherwise given in accordance with Section 8.1 not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. The notice shall specify the place, if any, date
and time of the meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which
the meeting is called.
2.7 Quorum.
Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock issued
and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the stockholders. A quorum, once
established at a meeting, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum. If, however, a quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (i) the person presiding over the
meeting or (ii) a majority in voting power of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, shall have power to recess the meeting or adjourn the meeting
from time to time in the manner provided in Section 2.8 until a quorum is present or represented. At any recessed or adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been
transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.
8
2.8 Adjourned Meeting; Notice.
When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, unless these bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if
the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the
adjournment is taken. At any adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be
given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix as the record date for
determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each
stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.
2.9 Conduct of Business.
The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced
at the meeting by the person presiding over the meeting. The Board may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules
and regulations as adopted by the Board, the person presiding over any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene and (for any or no reason) to recess and/or adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations
and procedures (which need not be in writing) and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such presiding person, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board or
prescribed by the person presiding over the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the
safety of those present (including, without limitation, rules and procedures for removal of disruptive persons from the meeting); (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders entitled to vote at the
meeting, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the person presiding over the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v)
limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. The presiding person at any meeting of stockholders, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting (including,
without limitation, determinations with respect to the administration and/or interpretation of any of the rules, regulations or procedures of the meeting, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the person presiding over the meeting),
shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a matter of business was not properly brought before the meeting and if such presiding person should so determine, such presiding person shall so declare to the meeting and
any such matter or business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted or considered. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board or the person presiding over the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required
to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.
9
2.10 Voting.
Except as may be otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, these bylaws or the DGCL, each stockholder shall be entitled to one (1)
vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder.
Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, at all duly called or convened meetings of stockholders at which a quorum is
present, for the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect a director. Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, these bylaws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange
applicable to the Corporation, or applicable law or pursuant to any regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, each other matter presented to the stockholders at a duly called or convened meeting at which a quorum is present
shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes) on such matter.
2.11 Record Date for Stockholder Meetings and Other Purposes.
In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment
thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than
sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at
the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice
of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the next day preceding the day on which notice is first given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting
is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix
a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting; and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that
fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance herewith at the adjourned meeting.
In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment or any
rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, or for the purposes of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede
the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such
purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.
10
2.12 Proxies.
Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy
authorized by an instrument in writing or by a transmission permitted by law filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the
proxy provides for a longer period. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL. A proxy may be in the form of an electronic transmission which sets
forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that the transmission was authorized by the stockholder.
2.13 List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote.
The Corporation shall prepare, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at
the meeting (provided, however, that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the
stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth (10th) day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and
the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The Corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any
stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required
to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the Corporation’s principal executive office. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an
electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time
and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any
stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Such list shall presumptively determine the
identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them. Except as otherwise provided by law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the
list of stockholders required by this Section 2.13 or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.
2.14 Inspectors of Election.
Before any meeting of stockholders, the Corporation shall appoint an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its adjournment
and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If any person appointed as inspector or any alternate fails to appear or fails or refuses to
act, then the person presiding over the meeting shall appoint a person to fill that vacancy.
Such inspectors shall:
|
(i)
|
determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the number of shares represented at the meeting and the validity of any proxies and ballots;
|
(ii)
|
count all votes or ballots;
|
11
(iii)
|
count and tabulate all votes;
|
(iv)
|
determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspector(s); and
|
(v)
|
certify its or their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and its or their count of all votes and ballots.
|
Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of the duties of inspector, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of
inspection with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector’s ability. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence of the facts stated
therein. The inspectors of election may appoint such persons to assist them in performing their duties as they determine.
2.15 Delivery to the Corporation.
Whenever this Article II requires one or more persons (including a record or beneficial owner of stock) to deliver a document or
information to the Corporation or any officer, employee or agent thereof (including any notice, request, questionnaire, revocation, representation or other document or agreement), such document or information shall be in writing exclusively
(and not in an electronic transmission) and shall be delivered exclusively by hand (including, without limitation, overnight courier service) or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and the Corporation shall not be
required to accept delivery of any document not in such written form or so delivered. For the avoidance of doubt, the Corporation expressly opts out of Section 116 of the DGCL with respect to the delivery of information and documents to the
Corporation required by this Article II.
Article III - Directors

Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation or the DGCL, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or
under the direction of the Board.
3.2 Number of Directors.
Subject to the Certificate of Incorporation and the Stockholders Agreement, the total number of directors constituting the Board shall be
determined from time to time by resolution of the Board. No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before that director’s term of office expires.
3.3 Election, Qualification and Term of Office of Directors.
Except as provided in Section 3.4, and subject to the Certificate of Incorporation and the Stockholders Agreement, each director, including
a director elected to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship, shall hold office until the expiration of the term of the class, if any, for which elected and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified or until such director’s
earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. Directors need not be stockholders. The Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws may prescribe qualifications for directors.
12
3.4 Resignation and Vacancies.
Any director may resign at any time upon notice given in writing or by electronic transmission to the Corporation. The resignation shall take
effect at the time specified therein or upon the happening of an event specified therein, and if no time or event is specified, at the time of its receipt. Subject to the Stockholders Agreement, when one or more directors so resigns and the
resignation is effective at a future date or upon the happening of an event to occur on a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the
vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each director so chosen shall hold office as provided in Section 3.3.
Subject to the Stockholders Agreement, and unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, vacancies resulting from
the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of any director, and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors shall be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, although
less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.
3.5 Place of Meetings; Meetings by Telephone.
The Board may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or outside the State of Delaware.
Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, members of the Board, or any committee designated by the Board,
may participate in a meeting of the Board, or any committee, by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting
pursuant to this bylaw shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.
3.6 Regular Meetings.
Regular meetings of the Board may be held within or outside the State of Delaware and at such time and at such place as which has been designated
by the Board and publicized among all directors, either orally or in writing, by telephone, including a voice-messaging system or other system designed to record and communicate messages, facsimile, telegraph or telex, or by electronic mail or
other means of electronic transmission. No further notice shall be required for regular meetings of the Board.

the case may be, as shown on the Corporation’s records.
If the notice is (i) delivered personally by hand, by courier or by telephone, (ii) sent by facsimile or electronic mail, or (iii) sent by other
means of electronic transmission, it shall be delivered or sent at least twenty-four (24) hours before the time of the holding of the meeting. If the notice is sent by U.S. mail, it shall be deposited in the U.S. mail at least four (4) days
before the time of the holding of the meeting. The notice need not specify the place of the meeting (if the meeting is to be held at the Corporation’s principal executive office) nor the purpose of the meeting.
3.8 Quorum.
At all meetings of the Board, unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, a majority of the total number of directors shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute, the
Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the Board, then the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a
quorum is present.
3.9 Board Action without a Meeting.
Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the
Board, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission. After an action is taken, the consent or consents
relating thereto shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board, or the committee thereof, in the same paper or electronic form as the minutes are maintained. Such action by written consent or consent by electronic transmission
shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of the Board.
3.10 Fees and Compensation of Directors.
Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the Board shall have the authority to fix the compensation,
including fees and reimbursement of expenses, of directors for services to the Corporation in any capacity.
Article IV - Committees

The Board may designate one (1) or more committees, each committee to consist, of one (1) or more of the directors of the Corporation. The Board
may designate one (1) or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or
members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or
disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board or in these bylaws, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the
Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers that may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority to (i) approve or adopt, or recommend to the stockholders, any action or matter
expressly required by the DGCL to be submitted to stockholders for approval, or (ii) adopt, amend or repeal any bylaw of the Corporation.

Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, these bylaws or the resolutions of the Board designating the committee, a committee

effect as if he or she were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon shall be stated. Upon the declaration of any dividend on fully paid shares, the Corporation shall declare a dividend upon partly paid shares of the same class, but only upon the basis of the
percentage of the consideration actually paid thereon.

against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares.

other matters as the Corporation may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps. No transfer of stock shall be valid as against the Corporation for any purpose until it shall have been entered in the stock

Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, a written waiver, signed
by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a
person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is
not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless
so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws.
Article VIII - Notice

applicable) as it appears on the records of the Corporation and shall be given (1) if mailed, when the notice is deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, (2) if delivered by courier service, the earlier of when the notice is received or

Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation
under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable
by the stockholder by written notice or electronic transmission to the Corporation. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, the Corporation may give a notice by electronic mail in accordance with the first paragraph of this section
without obtaining the consent required by this paragraph.

|
(i)
|
if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;
|
(ii)
|
if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and
|

Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, that the
inadvertent failure to discover such inability shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

Article X - Indemnification
10.1 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended,
any director or officer of the Corporation who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”) by
reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of
the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership (a “covered person”), joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans,
against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any
such Proceeding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.4, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify a person in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such person only if the
Proceeding was authorized in the specific case by the Board.

The Corporation shall also have the power to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists
or may hereafter be amended, any employee or agent of the Corporation who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any Proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the

The Corporation shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay the expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees)
incurred by any director or officer of the Corporation, and may also pay the expenses incurred by any employee or agent of the Corporation, in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided,
however, that such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the
person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article IX or otherwise.
10.4 Determination; Claim.
If a claim for indemnification (following the final disposition of such Proceeding) under this Article IX is not paid in full within sixty
(60) days, or a claim for advancement of expenses under this Article IX is not paid in full within thirty (30) days, after a written claim therefor has been received by the Corporation the claimant may thereafter (but not before) file
suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim to the fullest extent permitted by law. In any such action the Corporation shall have the
burden of proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law.
10.5 Non-Exclusivity of Rights.

acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, these bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of the DGCL.
10.7 Other Indemnification.
The Corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify or advance expenses to any person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer,

partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit enterprise.
23
10.8 Continuation of Indemnification.
The rights to indemnification and to prepayment of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article IX shall continue
notwithstanding that the person has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors, administrators, legatees and distributees of such person.
10.9 Amendment or Repeal; Interpretation.
The provisions of this Article IX shall constitute a contract between the Corporation, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, each
individual who serves or has served as a director or officer of the Corporation (whether before or after the adoption of these bylaws), in consideration of such person’s performance of such services, and pursuant to this Article IX the
Corporation intends to be legally bound to each such current or former director or officer of the Corporation. With respect to current and former directors and officers of the Corporation, the rights conferred under this Article IX are
present contractual rights and such rights are fully vested, and shall be deemed to have vested fully, immediately upon adoption of theses bylaws. With respect to any directors or officers of the Corporation who commence service following
adoption of these bylaws, the rights conferred under this provision shall be present contractual rights and such rights shall fully vest, and be deemed to have vested fully, immediately upon such director or officer commencing service as a
director or officer of the Corporation. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article IX shall not adversely affect any right or protection (i) hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission
occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification or (ii) under any agreement providing for indemnification or advancement of expenses to an officer or director of the Corporation in effect prior to the time of such repeal or
modification.
Any reference to an officer of the Corporation in this Article IX shall be deemed to refer exclusively to the Chief Executive Officer, the
President and the Secretary of the Corporation, or other officer of the Corporation appointed by (x) the Board pursuant to Article V or (y) an officer to whom the Board has delegated the power to appoint officers pursuant to Article
V, and any reference to an officer of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be deemed to refer exclusively to an officer appointed by the board of directors (or equivalent
governing body) of such other entity pursuant to the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents) of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. The
fact that any person who is or was an employee of the Corporation or an employee of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise has been given or has used the title of “Vice President” or
any other title that could be construed to suggest or imply that such person is or may be an officer of the Corporation or of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall not result
in such person being constituted as, or being deemed to be, an officer of the Corporation or of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise for purposes of this Article IX.
Article XI - Amendments
The Board is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation. The stockholders also shall have power to adopt, amend or
repeal the bylaws of the Corporation; provided, however, that such action by stockholders shall require, in addition to any other vote required by the Certificate of Incorporation or applicable law, the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of voting stock of the Corporation with the power to vote generally in an election of directors, voting together as a single class.
Notwithstanding other provisions set forth in Section 9.1, the Board may, in its sole discretion, determine to waive, amend, or repeal the Lockup obligations set forth in Section 9.1; provided,
that, any such waiver, amendment or repeal shall require, in addition to any other vote of the members of the Board required to take such action pursuant to these bylaws or applicable law, the affirmative vote of one director that has
been designated by Sandbridge pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.
24
Article XII - Forum Selection
Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, (a) the Court of Chancery (the “Chancery Court”) of the State of Delaware (or, in the event that the Chancery Court does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or
other state courts of the State of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative Proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any Proceeding asserting a claim of
breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or stockholder of the Corporation to the Corporation or to the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any
Proceeding arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time) or (iv) any Proceeding asserting a claim against the Corporation governed by the
internal affairs doctrine; and (b) subject to the preceding provisions of this Article XII, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be
the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of clause (a) of the immediately preceding
sentence is filed in a court other than the courts in the State of Delaware (a “Foreign Action”), such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (x) the
personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the provisions of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence and (y) having service of
process made upon such stockholder in any such action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of clause (b) of the
immediately preceding sentence is filed in a court other than the federal district courts of the United States of America (a “Foreign Securities Act Action”) in
the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the federal district courts of the United States of America in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce
clause (b) (a “Securities Act Enforcement Action”), and (ii) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such Securities Act Enforcement Action
by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Securities Act Action as agent for such stockholder.
Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of the Corporation shall be deemed to have
notice of and consented to this Article XI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Article XI shall not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, or any other claim for which the federal courts of the United States have exclusive jurisdiction.

the transaction or event described in subsection (a), (b), or (c) of this Section 2.6 with respect to such Award (or portion thereof) shall only constitute a Change in Control for purposes of the payment timing of such Award if such

Committee member’s failure to qualify as a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 will not invalidate any Award granted by the Committee that is otherwise validly granted under the Plan.

ADMINISTRATION AND DELEGATION
4.1 Administration.
(a) The Plan is administered by the Administrator. The
Administrator has authority to determine which Service Providers receive Awards, grant Awards and set Award terms and conditions, subject to the conditions and limitations in the Plan. The Administrator also has the authority to take all
actions and make all determinations under the Plan, to interpret the Plan and Award Agreements and to adopt, amend and repeal Plan administrative rules, guidelines and practices as it deems advisable. The Administrator may correct defects
and ambiguities, supply omissions, reconcile inconsistencies in the Plan or any Award and make all other determinations that it deems necessary or appropriate to administer the Plan and any Awards. The Administrator (and each member
thereof) is entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to it, him or her by any officer or other employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, the Company’s independent certified public accountants,
or any executive compensation consultant or other professional retained by the Company to assist in the administration of the Plan. The Administrator’s determinations under the Plan are in its sole discretion and will be final, binding and
conclusive on all persons having or claiming any interest in the Plan or any Award.
(b) Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrator has the
exclusive power, authority and sole discretion to: (i) designate Participants; (ii) determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to each Participant; (iii) determine the number of Awards to be granted and the number of Shares to
which an Award will relate; (iv) subject to the limitations in the Plan, determine the terms and conditions of any Award and related Award Agreement, including, but not limited to, the exercise price, xxxxx xxxxx, purchase price, any
performance criteria, any restrictions or limitations on the Award, any schedule for vesting, lapse of forfeiture restrictions or restrictions on the exercisability of an Award, and accelerations, waivers or amendments thereof;
(v) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances an Award may be settled in, or the exercise price of an Award may be paid in cash, Shares, or other property, or an Award may be canceled, forfeited, or surrendered; and
(vi) make all other decisions and determinations that may be required pursuant to the Plan or as the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to administer the Plan.
4.2 Delegation of Authority. To the extent permitted by
Applicable Law, the Board or any Committee may delegate any or all of its powers under the Plan to one or more Committees or officers of the Company or any of
D-5
its Subsidiaries; provided, however,
that in no event shall an officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be delegated the authority to grant Awards to, or amend Awards held by, the following individuals: (a) individuals who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange
Act, or (b) officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Directors to whom authority to grant or amend Awards has been delegated hereunder. Any delegation hereunder shall be subject to the restrictions and limits that the Board or
Committee specifies at the time of such delegation or that are otherwise included in the applicable organizational documents, and the Board or Committee, as applicable, may at any time rescind the authority so delegated or appoint a new
delegatee. At all times, the delegatee appointed under this Section 4.2 shall serve in such capacity at the pleasure of the Board or the Committee, as applicable, and the
Board or the Committee may abolish any committee at any time and re-vest in itself any previously delegated authority. Further, regardless of any delegation, the Board or a Committee may, in its discretion, exercise any and all rights and
duties as the Administrator under the Plan delegated thereby, except with respect to Awards that are required to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee under the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system
on which the Shares are listed, quoted or traded.
ARTICLE V.
STOCK AVAILABLE FOR AWARDS
5.1 Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment under Article
IX and the terms of this Article V, Awards may be made under the Plan covering up to the Overall Share Limit. As of the Effective Date, the Company will cease granting awards under the Prior Plan; however, Prior Plan Awards will remain
subject to the terms of the Prior Plan. Shares issued or delivered under the Plan may consist of authorized but unissued Shares, Shares purchased on the open market or treasury Shares.
5.2 Share Recycling.
(a) If all or any part of an Award or Prior Plan Award expires,
lapses or is terminated, converted into an award in respect of shares of another entity in connection with a spin-off or other similar event, exchanged for cash, surrendered, repurchased, canceled without having been fully exercised or
forfeited, in any case, in a manner that results in the Company acquiring Shares covered by the Award or Prior Plan Award at a price not greater than the price (as adjusted to reflect any Equity Restructuring) paid by the Participant for
such Shares or not issuing any Shares covered by the Award or Prior Plan Award, the unused Shares covered by the Award or Prior Plan Award will, as applicable, become or again be available for Awards under the Plan. The payment of Dividend
Equivalents in cash in conjunction with any outstanding Awards or Prior Plan Awards shall not count against the Overall Share Limit.
(b) In addition, the following Shares shall be available for
future grants of Awards: (i) Shares tendered by a Participant or withheld by the Company in payment of the exercise price of an Option or any stock option granted under the Prior Plan; (ii) Shares tendered by the Participant or withheld by
the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with respect to an Award or any award granted under the Prior Plan; and (iii) Shares subject to a Stock Appreciation Right that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of
the Stock Appreciation Right on exercise thereof. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.2(b), no Shares may again be optioned, granted or awarded pursuant to an Incentive Stock Option if such action would cause such Option to
fail to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code.
5.3 Incentive Stock Option Limitations. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, no more than [________]3 Shares (as adjusted to reflect any Equity Restructuring) may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options.
5.4 Substitute Awards. In connection with an entity’s
merger or consolidation with the Company or any Subsidiary or the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s acquisition of an entity’s property or stock, the Administrator may grant Awards in substitution for any options or other stock or stock-based
awards granted before such merger or consolidation by such entity or its affiliate. Substitute Awards may be granted on such terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate, notwithstanding limitations on Awards in the Plan.
Substitute Awards will not count against the Overall Share Limit (nor shall Shares subject to a Substitute Award be added to the Shares available for Awards under the Plan as provided above), except that Shares acquired by exercise of
substitute Incentive Stock Options will count against the maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan. Additionally, in the event that a company

D-6
acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary or with which the Company or any
Subsidiary combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination that can be assumed in accordance with Applicable Laws, the shares available for
grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as appropriately adjusted to reflect the transaction) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the Shares authorized for grant under the Plan (and Shares subject to
such Awards may again become available for Awards under the Plan as provided under Section 5.2 above); provided that Awards using such available shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms
of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not employees or directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to such acquisition or combination or as permitted by
Applicable Laws.
5.5 Non-Employee Director Award Limit. Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary in the Plan or in any policy of the Company regarding non-employee director compensation, the sum of the grant date fair value (determined as of the grant date in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards
Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, or any successor thereto) of all equity-based Awards and the maximum amount that may become payable pursuant to all cash-based Awards that may be granted to a Service Provider as
compensation for services as a Non-Employee Director during any calendar year shall not exceed $1,000,000.
ARTICLE VI.
STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS
6.1 General. The Administrator may grant Options or Stock
Appreciation Rights to one or more Service Providers, subject to such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Administrator shall determine. The Administrator will determine the number of Shares covered by each Option and
Stock Appreciation Right, the exercise price of each Option and Stock Appreciation Right and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of each Option and Stock Appreciation Right. A Stock Appreciation Right will entitle the
Participant (or other person entitled to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right) to receive from the Company upon exercise of the exercisable portion of the Stock Appreciation Right an amount determined by multiplying the excess, if any, of
the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price per Share of the Stock Appreciation Right by the number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, subject to any limitations
of the Plan or that the Administrator may impose and payable in cash, Shares valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise or a combination of the two as the Administrator may determine or provide in the Award Agreement.
6.2 Exercise Price. The Administrator will establish each
Option’s and Stock Appreciation Right’s exercise price and specify the exercise price in the Award Agreement. Subject to Section 6.6, the exercise price will not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the grant date of the Option or
Stock Appreciation Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that is a Substitute Award, the exercise price per share of the Shares subject to such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as
applicable, may be less than the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant; provided that the exercise price of any Substitute Award shall be determined in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 424 and 409A of the
Code.
6.3 Duration of Options. Subject to Section 6.6, each
Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable at such times and as specified in the Award Agreement, provided that the term of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right will not exceed ten years; provided, further, that, unless
otherwise determined by the Administrator, (a) no portion of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right which is unexercisable at a Participant’s Termination of Service shall thereafter become exercisable and (b) the portion of an Option or
Stock Appreciation Right that is unexercisable at a Participant’s Termination of Service shall automatically expire on the date of such Termination of Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant, prior to the end of the term
of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, commits an act of “cause” (as determined by the Administrator), or violates any non-competition, non-solicitation or confidentiality provisions of any employment contract, confidentiality and
nondisclosure agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the right to exercise the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, may be terminated by the Company and the Company may
suspend the Participant’s right to exercise the Option or Stock Appreciation Right when it reasonably believes that the Participant may have participated in any such act or violation.
D-7
6.4 Exercise. Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may
be exercised by delivering to the Company (or such other person or entity designated by the Administrator) a notice of exercise, in a form and manner the Company approves (which may be written, electronic or telephonic and may contain
representations and warranties deemed advisable by the Administrator), signed or authenticated by the person authorized to exercise the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, together with, as applicable, payment in full of (a) the exercise
price for the number of Shares for which the Option is exercised in a manner specified in Section 6.5 and (b) all applicable taxes in a manner specified in Section 10.5. The Administrator may, in its discretion, limit exercise with respect
to fractional Shares and require that any partial exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right be with respect to a minimum number of Shares.
6.5 Payment Upon Exercise. The Administrator shall
determine the methods by which payment of the exercise price of an Option shall be made, including, without limitation:
(a) Cash, check or wire transfer of immediately available
funds; provided that the Company may limit the use of one of the foregoing methods if one or more of the methods below is permitted;
(b) If there is a public market for Shares at the time of
exercise, unless the Company otherwise determines, (A) delivery (including electronically or telephonically to the extent permitted by the Company) of a notice that the Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker acceptable to
the Company with respect to Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Option and that the broker has been directed to deliver promptly to the Company funds sufficient to pay the exercise price, or (B) the Participant’s delivery to the
Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a broker acceptable to the Company to deliver promptly to the Company an amount sufficient to pay the exercise price by cash, wire transfer of immediately available funds or
check; provided that such amount is paid to the Company at such time as may be required by the Company;
(c) To the extent permitted by the Administrator, delivery
(either by actual delivery or attestation) of Shares owned by the Participant valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of delivery;
(d) To the extent permitted by the Administrator, surrendering
Shares then issuable upon the Option’s exercise valued at their Fair Market Value on the exercise date;
(e) To the extent permitted by the Administrator, delivery of a
promissory note or any other lawful consideration; or
(f) To the extent permitted by the Administrator, any
combination of the above payment forms.
6.6 Additional Terms of Incentive Stock Options. The
Administrator may grant Incentive Stock Options only to employees of the Company, any of its present or future parent or subsidiary corporations, as defined in Sections 424(e) or (f) of the Code, respectively, and any other entities the
employees of which are eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options under the Code. If an Incentive Stock Option is granted to a Greater Than 10% Stockholder, the exercise price will not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value on the
Option’s grant date, and the term of the Option will not exceed five years. All Incentive Stock Options (and Award Agreements related thereto) will be subject to and construed consistently with Section 422 of the Code. By accepting an
Incentive Stock Option, the Participant agrees to give prompt notice to the Company of dispositions or other transfers (other than in connection with a Change in Control) of Shares acquired under the Option made within (a) two years from
the grant date of the Option or (b) one year after the transfer of such Shares to the Participant, specifying the date of the disposition or other transfer and the amount the Participant realized, in cash, other property, assumption of
indebtedness or other consideration, in such disposition or other transfer. Neither the Company nor the Administrator will be liable to a Participant, or any other party, if an Incentive Stock Option fails or ceases to qualify as an
“incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code. Any Incentive Stock Option or portion thereof that fails to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code for any reason, including becoming exercisable with
respect to Shares having a fair market value exceeding the $100,000 limitation under Treasury Regulation Section 1.422-4, will be a Nonqualified Stock Option.
ARTICLE VII.
RESTRICTED STOCK; RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
7.1 General. The Administrator may grant Restricted Stock,
or the right to purchase Restricted Stock, to any Service Provider, subject to forfeiture or the Company’s right to repurchase all or part of such shares at their issue price or other stated or formula price from the Participant if
conditions the Administrator specifies in the
D-8
Award Agreement are not satisfied before the end of the applicable restriction
period or periods that the Administrator establishes for such Award. In addition, the Administrator may grant Restricted Stock Units, which may be subject to vesting and forfeiture conditions during the applicable restriction period or
periods, as set forth in an Award Agreement, to Service Providers. The Administrator shall establish the purchase price, if any, and form of payment for Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that if a purchase
price is charged, such purchase price shall be no less than the par value, if any, of the Shares to be purchased, unless otherwise permitted by Applicable Law. In all cases, legal consideration shall be required for each issuance of
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units to the extent required by Applicable Law. The Award Agreement for each Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Award shall set forth the terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as
the Administrator shall determine.
7.2 Restricted Stock.
(a) Stockholder Rights.
Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, each Participant holding shares of Restricted Stock will be entitled to all the rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares, subject to the restrictions in the Plan and the
applicable Award Agreement, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect to the Shares to the extent such dividends and other distributions have a record date that is on or after the date on
which such Participant becomes the record holder of such Shares; provided, however, that with respect to a share of Restricted Stock subject to restrictions or vesting conditions as described in Section 8.3, except in connection with a
spin-off or other similar event as otherwise permitted under Section 9.2, dividends which are paid to Company stockholders prior to the removal of restrictions and satisfaction of vesting conditions shall only be paid to the Participant to
the extent that the restrictions are subsequently removed and the vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the share of Restricted Stock vests.
(b) Stock Certificates.
The Company may require that the Participant deposit in escrow with the Company (or its designee) any stock certificates issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock, together with a stock power endorsed in blank.
(c) Section 83(b) Election.
If a Participant makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed with respect to the Restricted Stock as of the date of transfer of the Restricted Stock rather than as of the date or dates upon which such Participant would
otherwise be taxable under Section 83(a) of the Code, such Participant shall be required to deliver a copy of such election to the Company promptly after filing such election with the Internal Revenue Service along with proof of the timely
filing thereof.
7.3 Restricted Stock Units. The Administrator may provide
that settlement of Restricted Stock Units will occur upon or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Restricted Stock Units vest or will instead be deferred, on a mandatory basis or at the Participant’s election, subject to compliance
with Applicable Law.

Unit awards, Performance Bonus Awards, Dividend Equivalents or Other Stock or Cash Based Awards, to one or more Service Providers, in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Administrator

Unit award shall be denominated in a number of Shares or in unit equivalents of Shares or units of value (including a dollar value of Shares) and may be linked to any one or more of performance or other specific criteria, including service
to the Company or Subsidiaries, determined to be appropriate by the Administrator, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Administrator. In making such determinations, the Administrator may
consider (among such other factors as it deems relevant in light of the specific type of award) the contributions, responsibilities and other compensation of the particular Participant.
8.3 Performance Bonus Awards. Each right to receive a
bonus granted under this Section 8.3 shall be denominated in the form of cash (but may be payable in cash, stock or a combination thereof) (a “Performance Bonus Award”) and shall be payable upon the attainment of performance goals that are
established by the Administrator and relate to one or more of performance or other specific criteria, including service to the Company or Subsidiaries, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by
the Administrator.

8.4 Dividend Equivalents. If the Administrator
provides, an Award (other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right) may provide a Participant with the right to receive Dividend Equivalents. Dividend Equivalents may be paid currently or credited to an account for the Participant,
settled in cash or Shares and subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Award with respect to which the Dividend Equivalents are granted and subject to other terms and conditions as set forth in the Award
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Dividend Equivalents with respect to an Award subject to vesting shall either (i) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, not be paid or credited or (ii) be accumulated and
subject to vesting to the same extent as the related Award. All such Dividend Equivalents shall be paid at such time as the Administrator shall specify in the applicable Award Agreement.
8.5 Other Stock or Cash Based Awards. Other Stock or Cash
Based Awards may be granted to Participants, including Awards entitling Participants to receive cash or Shares to be delivered in the future and annual or other periodic or long-term cash bonus awards (whether based on specified performance
criteria or otherwise), in each case subject to any conditions and limitations in the Plan. Such Other Stock or Cash Based Awards will also be available as a payment form in the settlement of other Awards, as standalone payments and as
payment in lieu of compensation to which a Participant is otherwise entitled. Other Stock or Cash Based Awards may be paid in Shares, cash or other property, as the Administrator determines. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the
Administrator will determine the terms and conditions of each Other Stock or Cash Based Award, including any purchase price, performance goal(s), transfer restrictions, and vesting conditions, which will be set forth in the applicable Award
Agreement. Except in connection with a spin-off or other similar event as otherwise permitted under Article IX, dividends that are paid prior to vesting of any Other Stock or Cash Based Award shall only be paid to the applicable Participant
to the extent that the vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the Other Stock or Cash Based Award vests.
ARTICLE IX.
ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN COMMON STOCK
AND CERTAIN OTHER EVENTS
9.1 Equity Restructuring. In connection with any Equity
Restructuring, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IX the Administrator will equitably adjust the terms of the Plan and each outstanding Award as it deems appropriate to reflect the Equity Restructuring, which may

the maximum number and kind of shares that may be issued); (ii) adjusting the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the performance goals or other criteria included in, outstanding Awards; and (iii) granting

dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or sale or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, Change in Control, issuance of warrants or other
rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, other similar corporate transaction or event, other unusual or nonrecurring transaction or event affecting the Company or its financial statements or any change in any

of the following actions whenever the Administrator determines that such action is appropriate in order to (x) prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under the Plan
or with respect to any Award granted or issued under the Plan, (y) to facilitate such transaction or event or (z) give effect to such changes in Applicable Law or accounting principles:
(a) To provide for the cancellation of any such Award in
exchange for either an amount of cash or other property with a value equal to the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise or settlement of the vested portion of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights under the
vested portion of such Award,
D-10
as applicable; provided that, if the amount that could have been obtained upon
the exercise or settlement of the vested portion of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, in any case, is equal to or less than zero, then the Award may be terminated without payment;
(b) To provide that such Award shall vest and, to the extent
applicable, be exercisable as to all Shares (or other property) covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the provisions of such Award;
(c) To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or
survivor corporation or entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation or entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments
as to the number and kind of shares and applicable exercise or purchase price, in all cases, as determined by the Administrator;
(d) To make adjustments in the number and type of shares of
Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Article V hereof on the maximum
number and kind of shares which may be issued) or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding Awards;
(e) To replace such Award with other rights or property
selected by the Administrator; or
(f) To provide that the Award will terminate and cannot vest,
be exercised or become payable after the applicable event.
9.3 Change in Control.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the
event of a Change in Control, unless the Administrator elects to (i) terminate an Award in exchange for cash, rights or property, or (ii) cause an Award to become fully exercisable and no longer subject to any forfeiture restrictions prior
to the consummation of a Change in Control, pursuant to Section 9.2, (A) such Award (other than any portion subject to performance-based vesting) shall continue in effect or be assumed or an equivalent Award substituted by the successor
corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation and (B) the portion of such Award subject to performance-based vesting shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Award Agreement and, in the absence of
applicable terms and conditions, the Administrator’s discretion.
(b) In the event that the successor corporation in a Change in
Control refuses to assume or substitute for an Award (other than any portion subject to performance-based vesting), the Administrator shall cause such Award to become fully vested and, if applicable, exercisable immediately prior to the
consummation of such transaction and all forfeiture restrictions on such Award to lapse and, to the extent unexercised upon the consummation of such transaction, to terminate in exchange for cash, rights or other property. The Administrator
shall notify the Participant of any Award that becomes exercisable pursuant to the preceding sentence that such Award shall be fully exercisable for a period of 15 days from the date of such notice, contingent upon the occurrence of the
Change in Control, and such Award shall terminate upon the consummation of the Change in Control in accordance with the preceding sentence.
(c) For the purposes of this Section 9.3, an Award shall be
considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other
securities or property) received in the Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by
the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change in Control was not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent, the Administrator may, with the
consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Award, for each Share subject to an Award, to be solely common equity of the successor entity or its parent equal in fair market
value to the per-share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change in Control.
9.4 Administrative Stand Still. In the event of any
pending stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company assets to stockholders, or any other extraordinary transaction or change
affecting the Shares or the share price of
D-11
Common Stock (including any Equity Restructuring or any securities offering or
other similar transaction) or for reasons of administrative convenience or to facilitate compliance with any Applicable Law, the Company may refuse to permit the exercise or settlement of one or more Awards for such period of time as the
Company may determine to be reasonably appropriate under the circumstances.
9.5 General. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or
the Administrator’s action under the Plan, no Participant will have any rights due to any subdivision or consolidation of Shares of any class, dividend payment, increase or decrease in the number of Shares of any class or dissolution,
liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or other corporation. Except as expressly provided with respect to an Equity Restructuring under Section 9.1 above or the Administrator’s action under the Plan, no issuance by the Company
of Shares of any class, or securities convertible into Shares of any class, will affect, and no adjustment will be made regarding, the number of Shares subject to an Award or the Award’s grant or exercise price. The existence of the Plan,
any Award Agreements and the Awards granted hereunder will not affect or restrict in any way the Company’s right or power to make or authorize (i) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital
structure or its business, (ii) any merger, consolidation, spinoff, dissolution or liquidation of the Company or sale of Company assets or (iii) any sale or issuance of securities, including securities with rights superior to those of the
Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrator need not treat Participants or Awards (or portions thereof) in a uniform manner, and may treat different Participants and/or
Awards differently, in connection with an Equity Restructuring, Change in Control or other corporate transaction.
ARTICLE X.
PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS
10.1 Transferability.
(a) No Award may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or
otherwise encumbered, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or, subject to the Administrator’s consent, pursuant to a domestic relations order, unless and until such Award has
been exercised or the Shares underlying such Award have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such Shares have lapsed. During the life of a Participant, Awards will be exercisable only by the Participant, unless it has been
disposed of pursuant to a domestic relations order. After the death of a Participant, any exercisable portion of an Award may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement, be
exercised by the Participant’s personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Participant’s will or under the then-Applicable Law of descent and distribution. References to a Participant, to the extent
relevant in the context, will include references to a transferee approved by the Administrator.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 10.1(a), the Administrator, in its
sole discretion, may determine to permit a Participant or a Permitted Transferee of such Participant to transfer an Award other than an Incentive Stock Option (unless such Incentive Stock Option is intended to become a Nonqualified Stock
Option) to any one or more Permitted Transferees of such Participant, subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) an Award transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall not be assignable or transferable by the Permitted Transferee
other than (A) to another Permitted Transferee of the applicable Participant or (B) by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, subject to the consent of the Administrator, pursuant to a domestic relations order; (ii) an Award
transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall continue to be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Award as applicable to the original Participant (other than the ability to further transfer the Award to any Person other than another
Permitted Transferee of the applicable Participant); (iii) the Participant (or transferring Permitted Transferee) and the receiving Permitted Transferee shall execute any and all documents requested by the Administrator, including, without
limitation documents to (A) confirm the status of the transferee as a Permitted Transferee, (B) satisfy any requirements for an exemption for the transfer under Applicable Law and (C) evidence the transfer; and (iv) any transfer of an Award
to a Permitted Transferee shall be without consideration, except as required by Applicable Law. In addition, and further notwithstanding Section 10.1(a), the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine to permit a Participant to
transfer Incentive Stock Options to a trust that constitutes a Permitted Transferee if, under Section 671 of the Code and other Applicable Law, the Participant is considered the sole beneficial owner of the Incentive Stock Option while it
is held in the trust.
(c) Notwithstanding Section 10.1(a), a Participant may, in the
manner determined by the Administrator, designate a Designated Beneficiary. A Designated Beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights pursuant to the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of
the Plan and
D-12
any Award Agreement applicable to the Participant and any additional restrictions
deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrator. If the Participant is married or a domestic partner in a domestic partnership qualified under Applicable Law and resides in a community property state, a designation of a person other
than the Participant’s spouse or domestic partner, as applicable, as the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary with respect to more than 50% of the Participant’s interest in the Award shall not be effective without the prior written or
electronic consent of the Participant’s spouse or domestic partner. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time; provided that the change or revocation is delivered in writing
to the Administrator prior to the Participant’s death.
10.2 Documentation. Each Award will be evidenced in an
Award Agreement in such form as the Administrator determines in its discretion. Each Award may contain such terms and conditions as are determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, to the extent not inconsistent with those set
forth in the Plan.
10.3 Discretion. Except as the Plan otherwise provides,
each Award may be made alone or in addition or in relation to any other Award. The terms of each Award to a Participant need not be identical, and the Administrator need not treat Participants or Awards (or portions thereof) uniformly.
10.4 Changes in Participant’s Status. The Administrator
will determine how the disability, death, retirement, authorized leave of absence or any other change or purported change in a Participant’s Service Provider status affects an Award and the extent to which, and the period during which, the
Participant, the Participant’s legal representative, conservator, guardian or Designated Beneficiary may exercise rights under the Award, if applicable. Except to the extent otherwise required by law or expressly authorized by the Company
or by the Company’s written policy on leaves of absence, no Service credit shall be given for vesting purposes for any period the Participant is on a leave of absence.
10.5 Withholding. Each Participant must pay the Company,
or make provision satisfactory to the Administrator for payment of, any taxes required by law to be withheld in connection with such Participant’s Awards by the date of the event creating the tax liability. The Company may deduct an amount
sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations from any payment of any kind otherwise due to a Participant. The amount deducted shall be determined by the Company and may be up to, but no greater than, the aggregate amount of such obligations
based on the maximum statutory withholding rates in the applicable Participant’s jurisdiction for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such taxable income. Subject to any Company
xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy (including blackout periods), Participants may satisfy such tax obligations (i) in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, by check made payable to the order of the Company; provided that the Company
may limit the use of one of the foregoing methods if one or more of the exercise methods below is permitted, (ii) to the extent permitted by the Administrator, in whole or in part by delivery of Shares, including Shares delivered by
attestation and Shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation, valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of delivery, (iii) if there is a public market for Shares at the time the tax obligations are satisfied, unless the
Administrator otherwise determines, (A) delivery (including electronically or telephonically to the extent permitted by the Company) of a notice that the Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker acceptable to the Company
with respect to Shares then issuable in respect of the Award and that the broker has been directed to deliver promptly to the Company funds sufficient to satisfy the tax obligations, or (B) the Participant’s delivery to the Company of a
copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a broker acceptable to the Company to deliver promptly to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy the tax withholding by cash, wire transfer of immediately available funds or check;
provided that such amount is paid to the Company at such time as may be required by the Company, (iv) to the extent permitted by the Administrator, delivery of a promissory note or any other lawful consideration or (v) to the extent
permitted by the Administrator, any combination of the foregoing payment forms. If any tax withholding obligation will be satisfied under clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence by the Company’s retention of Shares from the Award
creating the tax obligation and there is a public market for Shares at the time the tax obligation is satisfied, the Company may elect to instruct any brokerage firm determined acceptable to the Company for such purpose to sell on the
applicable Participant’s behalf some or all of the Shares retained and to remit the proceeds of the sale to the Company or its designee, and each Participant’s acceptance of an Award under the Plan will constitute the Participant’s
authorization to the Company and instruction and authorization to such brokerage firm to complete the transactions described in this sentence.
10.6 Amendment of Award; Repricing. The Administrator may
amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award, including by substituting another Award of the same or a different type, changing the exercise
D-13
or settlement date, and converting an Incentive Stock Option to a Nonqualified
Stock Option. The Participant’s consent to such action will be required unless (i) the action, taking into account any related action, does not materially and adversely affect the Participant’s rights under the Award, or (ii) the change is
permitted under Article IX or pursuant to Section 11.6. In addition, the Administrator shall, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, have the authority to (a) amend any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right to
reduce its exercise price per Share, or (b) cancel any Option or Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for cash or another Award.
10.7 Conditions on Delivery of Stock. The Company will not
be obligated to deliver any Shares under the Plan or remove restrictions from Shares previously delivered under the Plan until (i) all Award conditions have been met or removed to the Company’s satisfaction, (ii) as determined by the
Company, all other legal matters regarding the issuance and delivery of such Shares have been satisfied, including any applicable securities laws and stock exchange or stock market rules and regulations, and (iii) the Participant has
executed and delivered to the Company such representations or agreements as the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate to satisfy Applicable Law. The Company’s inability to obtain authority from any regulatory body having
jurisdiction, which the Administrator determines is necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any securities, will relieve the Company of any liability for failing to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority has not
been obtained.
10.8 Acceleration. The Administrator may at any time
provide that any Award will become immediately vested and fully or partially exercisable, free of some or all restrictions or conditions, or otherwise fully or partially realizable.
ARTICLE XI.
MISCELLANEOUS
11.1 No Right to Employment or Other Status. No person
will have any claim or right to be granted an Award, and the grant of an Award will not be construed as giving a Participant the right to continue employment or any other relationship with the Company. The Company expressly reserves the
right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with a Participant free from any liability or claim under the Plan or any Award, except as expressly provided in an Award Agreement or other written agreement between the
Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary.
11.2 No Rights as Stockholder; Certificates. Subject to
the Award Agreement, no Participant or Designated Beneficiary will have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares to be distributed under an Award until becoming the record holder of such Shares. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan, unless the Administrator otherwise determines or Applicable Law requires, the Company will not be required to deliver to any Participant certificates evidencing Shares issued in connection with any Award and instead
such Shares may be recorded in the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator). The Company may place legends on any share certificate or book entry to reference restrictions applicable to the
Shares (including, without limitation, restrictions applicable to Restricted Stock).
11.3 Effective Date. The Plan was approved by the Board on
[________], 2021. The Plan will become effective (the “Effective Date”) on the day prior to the date of the closing of the transactions contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement entered into on or about February 15, 2021,
by and among the Owlet Baby Care Inc., a Delaware corporation, Sandbridge Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and Project Olympus Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Business Combination Agreement”), provided that it
is approved by a majority of the Company’s stockholders at a duly held meeting prior to such date and occurring within twelve (12) months following the date the Board approved Plan, and provided further that the effectiveness of the Plan is
subject to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. If the Plan is not approved by the Company’s stockholders within the foregoing time frame, or if the Business Combination Agreement is
terminated prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, the Plan will not become effective. The Plan will be submitted for approval of the Company’s stockholders within twelve (12) months following the date the Board
approved the Plan. No Incentive Stock Option may be granted pursuant to the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the earlier of (i) the date the Plan was approved by the Board and (ii) the date the Plan was approved by the Company’s
stockholders.
11.4 Amendment of Plan. The Board may amend, suspend or
terminate the Plan at any time and from time to time; provided that (a) no amendment requiring stockholder approval to comply with Applicable Law shall be
D-14
effective unless approved by the Board, and (b) no amendment, other than an
increase to the Overall Share Limit or pursuant to Article IX or Section 11.6, may materially and adversely affect any Award outstanding at the time of such amendment without the affected Participant’s consent. No Awards may be granted
under the Plan during any suspension period or after Plan termination. Awards outstanding at the time of any Plan suspension or termination will continue to be governed by the Plan and the Award Agreement, as in effect before such
suspension or termination. The Board will obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Law.
11.5 Provisions for Foreign Participants. The
Administrator may modify Awards granted to Participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States, establish subplans or procedures under the Plan or take any other necessary or appropriate action to address Applicable
Law, including (a) differences in laws, rules, regulations or customs of such foreign jurisdictions with respect to tax, securities, currency, employee benefit or other matters, (b) listing and other requirements of any foreign securities
exchange, and (c) any necessary local governmental or regulatory exemptions or approvals.
11.6 Section 409A.
(a) General. The
Company intends that all Awards be structured to comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A, such that no adverse tax consequences, interest, or penalties under Section 409A apply. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award
Agreement to the contrary, the Administrator may, without a Participant’s consent, amend this Plan or Awards, adopt policies and procedures, or take any other actions (including amendments, policies, procedures and retroactive actions) as
are necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of Awards, including any such actions intended to (A) exempt this Plan or any Award from Section 409A, or (B) comply with Section 409A, including regulations, guidance,
compliance programs and other interpretative authority that may be issued after an Award’s grant date. The Company makes no representations or warranties as to an Award’s tax treatment under Section 409A or otherwise. The Company will have
no obligation under this Section 11.6 or otherwise to avoid the taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A with respect to any Award and will have no liability to any Participant or any other person if any Award, compensation or other
benefits under the Plan are determined to constitute noncompliant “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A.
(b) Separation from Service.
If an Award constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A, any payment or settlement of such Award upon a Participant’s Termination of Service will, to the extent necessary to avoid taxes under Section 409A, be made
only upon the Participant’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A), whether such “separation from service” occurs upon or after the Participant’s Termination of Service. For purposes of this Plan or any Award
Agreement relating to any such payments or benefits, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms means a “separation from service.”
(c) Payments to Specified
Employees. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Plan or any Award Agreement, any payment(s) of “nonqualified deferred compensation” required to be made under an Award to a “specified employee” (as defined under Section
409A and as the Administrator determines) due to his or her “separation from service” will, to the extent necessary to avoid taxes under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, be delayed for the six-month period immediately following such
“separation from service” (or, if earlier, until the specified employee’s death) and will instead be paid (as set forth in the Award Agreement) on the day immediately following such six-month period or as soon as administratively
practicable thereafter (without interest). Any payments of “nonqualified deferred compensation” under such Award payable more than six months following the Participant’s “separation from service” will be paid at the time or times the
payments are otherwise scheduled to be made.
11.7 Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of the Plan, no individual acting as a director, officer or other employee of the Company or any Subsidiary will be liable to any Participant, former Participant, spouse, beneficiary, or any other person for any claim, loss,
liability, or expense incurred in connection with the Plan or any Award, and such individual will not be personally liable with respect to the Plan because of any contract or other instrument executed in his or her capacity as an
Administrator, director, officer or other employee of the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each director, officer or other employee of the Company or any Subsidiary that has been or will be granted or
delegated any duty or power relating to the Plan’s administration or interpretation, against any cost or expense
D-15
(including attorneys’ fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of
a claim with the Administrator’s approval) arising from any act or omission concerning this Plan unless arising from such person’s own fraud or bad faith; provided that he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to
handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf.
11.8 Data Privacy. As a condition for receiving any Award,
each Participant explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data as described in this Section by and among the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates exclusively
for implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates may hold certain personal information about a Participant, including the Participant’s name, address
and telephone number; birthdate; social security, insurance number or other identification number; salary; nationality; job title(s); any Shares held in the Company or its Subsidiaries and affiliates; and Award details, to implement, manage
and administer the Plan and Awards (the “Data”). The Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates may transfer the Data amongst themselves as necessary to implement, administer and manage a Participant’s participation in the Plan, and the
Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates may transfer the Data to third parties assisting the Company with Plan implementation, administration and management. These recipients may be located in the Participant’s country, or elsewhere,
and the Participant’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the recipients’ country. By accepting an Award, each Participant authorizes such recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in
electronic or other form, to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any required Data transfer to a broker or other third party with whom the Company or the Participant may elect to deposit
any Shares. The Data related to a Participant will be held only as long as necessary to implement, administer, and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan. A Participant may, at any time, view the Data that the Company holds
regarding such Participant, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data regarding such Participant, recommend any necessary corrections to the Data regarding the Participant or refuse or withdraw the consents
in this Section 11.8 in writing, without cost, by contacting the local human resources representative. The Company may cancel Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan and, in the Administrator’s sole discretion, the Participant may
forfeit any outstanding Awards if the Participant refuses or withdraws the consents in this Section 11.8. For more information on the consequences of refusing or withdrawing consent, Participants may contact their local human resources
representative.
11.9 Severability. If any portion of the Plan or any
action taken under it is held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity will not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provisions had been
excluded, and the illegal or invalid action will be null and void.
11.10 Governing Documents. If any contradiction occurs
between the Plan and any Award Agreement or other written agreement between a Participant and the Company (or any Subsidiary), the Plan will govern, unless such Award Agreement or other written agreement was approved by the Administrator
and expressly provides that a specific provision of the Plan will not apply.
11.11 Governing Law. The Plan and all Awards will be
governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of law rules thereof or of any other jurisdiction.
11.12 Clawback Provisions. All Awards (including the gross
amount of any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit the Participant actually or constructively receives upon receipt or exercise of any Award or the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying the Award) will be subject to recoupment by
the Company to the extent required to comply with Applicable Law or any policy of the Company providing for the reimbursement of incentive compensation, whether or not such policy was in place at the time of grant of an Award.
11.13 Titles and Headings. The titles and headings in the
Plan are for convenience of reference only and, if any conflict, the Plan’s text, rather than such titles or headings, will control.
11.14 Conformity to Applicable Law. Participant
acknowledges that the Plan is intended to conform to the extent necessary with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan and all Awards will be administered only in a manner intended to conform with
Applicable Law. To the extent Applicable Law permit, the Plan and all Award Agreements will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to Applicable Law.
D-16
11.15 Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under
the Plan will be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary, except as expressly provided in writing
in such other plan or an agreement thereunder.
11.16 Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to
be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or Award Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than
those of a general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary.
11.17 Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Plan and any Award granted or awarded to any individual who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable
exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act and any amendments thereto) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Plan
and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.
11.18 Prohibition on Executive Officer Loans.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Participant who is a Director or an “executive officer” of the Company within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act shall be permitted to make payment with
respect to any Awards granted under the Plan, or continue any extension of credit with respect to such payment, with a loan from the Company or a loan arranged by the Company in violation of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act.
11.19 Broker-Assisted Sales. In the event of a
broker-assisted sale of Shares in connection with the payment of amounts owed by a Participant under or with respect to the Plan or Awards, including amounts to be paid under the final sentence of Section 10.5: (a) any Shares to be sold
through the broker-assisted sale will be sold on the day the payment first becomes due, or as soon thereafter as practicable; (b) such Shares may be sold as part of a block trade with other Participants in the Plan in which all participants
receive an average price; (c) the applicable Participant will be responsible for all broker’s fees and other costs of sale, and by accepting an Award, each Participant agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses,
costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale; (d) to the extent the Company or its designee receives proceeds of such sale that exceed the amount owed, the Company will pay such excess in cash to the applicable Participant as soon
as reasonably practicable; (e) the Company and its designees are under no obligation to arrange for such sale at any particular price; and (f) in the event the proceeds of such sale are insufficient to satisfy the Participant’s applicable
obligation, the Participant may be required to pay immediately upon demand to the Company or its designee an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy any remaining portion of the Participant’s obligation.

EXHIBIT D
Form of Owlet Pubco Employee Stock Purchase Plan
[See attached.]
OWLET, INC.
2021 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
ARTICLE 1
PURPOSE
The Plan’s purpose is to assist employees of the Company and its
Designated Subsidiaries in acquiring a stock ownership interest in the Company, and to help such employees provide for their future security and to encourage them to remain in the employment of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
The Plan consists of two components: the Section 423 Component
and the Non-Section 423 Component. The Section 423 Component is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code and shall be administered, interpreted and construed in a manner consistent with the
requirements of Section 423 of the Code. In addition, this Plan authorizes the grant of Options under the Non-Section 423 Component, which need not qualify as Options granted pursuant to an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423
of the Code; such Options granted under the Non-Section 423 Component shall be granted pursuant to separate Offerings containing such sub-plans, appendices, rules or procedures as may be adopted by the Administrator and designed to achieve
tax, securities laws or other objectives for Eligible Employees and the Designated Subsidiaries in locations outside of the United States. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Non-Section 423 Component will operate and be administered
in the same manner as the Section 423 Component. Offerings intended to be made under the Non-Section 423 Component will be designated as such by the Administrator at or prior to the time of such Offering.
For purposes of this Plan, the Administrator may designate
separate Offerings under the Plan, the terms of which need not be identical, in which Eligible Employees will participate, even if the dates of the applicable Offering Period(s) in each such Offering is identical, provided that the terms of
participation are the same within each separate Offering under the Section 423 Component as determined under Section 423 of the Code. Solely by way of example and without limiting the foregoing, the Company could, but shall not be required
to, provide for simultaneous Offerings under the Section 423 Component and the Non-Section 423 Component of the Plan.

the limitations imposed by Section 423(b) of the Code.
(b) No Eligible Employee shall be granted an Option under the
Section 423 Component which permits the Participant’s rights to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan, and to purchase stock under all other employee stock purchase plans of the Company, any Parent or any Subsidiary subject to
Section 423 of the Code, to accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of fair market value of such stock (determined at the time such Option is granted) for each calendar year in which such Option is outstanding at any time. The limitation
under this Section 3.1(b) shall be applied in accordance with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code.
3.2 Election to Participate; Payroll Deductions
(a) Except as provided in Sections 3.2(e) and 3.3 hereof, an
Eligible Employee may become a Participant in the Plan only by means of payroll deduction. Each individual who is an Eligible Employee as of an Offering Period’s Enrollment Date may elect to participate in such Offering Period and the Plan
by delivering to the Company a payroll deduction authorization no later than the period of time prior to the applicable Enrollment Date that is determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion.
E-4
(b) Subject to Section 3.1(b) hereof and except as may
otherwise be determined by the Administrator, payroll deductions (i) shall equal at least 1% of the Participant’s Compensation as of each Payday of the Offering Period following the Enrollment Date, but not more than 15% of the
Participant’s Compensation as of each Payday of the Offering Period following the Enrollment Date; and (ii) may be expressed either as (A) a whole number percentage, or (B) a fixed dollar amount. Amounts deducted from a Participant’s
Compensation with respect to an Offering Period pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be deducted each Payday through payroll deduction and credited to the Participant’s Plan Account; provided that for the first Offering Period under this

(c) Following at least one payroll deduction, a Participant may
decrease (to as low as zero) the amount deducted from such Participant’s Compensation only once during an Offering Period upon ten calendar days’ prior written notice to the Company. A Participant may not increase the amount deducted from
such Participant’s Compensation during an Offering Period.
(d) Upon the completion of an Offering Period, each Participant
in such Offering Period shall automatically participate in the immediately following Offering Period at the same payroll deduction percentage or fixed amount as in effect at the termination of such Offering Period, unless such Participant
delivers to the Company a different election with respect to the successive Offering Period in accordance with Section 3.2(a) hereof, or unless such Participant becomes ineligible for participation in the Plan.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to the
contrary, in non-U.S. jurisdictions where participation in the Plan through payroll deductions is prohibited, the Administrator may provide that an Eligible Employee may elect to participate through contributions to the Participant’s
account under the Plan in a form acceptable to the Administrator in lieu of or in addition to payroll deductions; provided, however, that, for any Offering under the Section 423 Component, the Administrator must determine that any
alternative method of contribution is applied on an equal and uniform basis to all Eligible Employees in the Offering.
3.3 Leave of Absence. During leaves of absence approved by
the Company meeting the requirements of Treas. Reg. § 1.421-1(h)(2), a Participant may continue participation in the Plan by making cash payments to the Company on the Participant’s normal payday equal to the Participant’s authorized
payroll deduction.
ARTICLE 4
PURCHASE OF SHARES
4.1 Grant of Option. The Company may make one or more
Offerings under the Plan, which may be successive or overlapping with one another, until the earlier of: (i) the date on which the Shares available under the Plan have been sold or (ii) the date on which the Plan is suspended or terminates.
The Administrator shall designate the terms and conditions of each Offering in writing, including without limitation, the Offering Period and the Purchase Periods. Each Participant shall be granted an Option with respect to an Offering
Period on the applicable Grant Date. Subject to the limitations of Section 3.1(b) hereof, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to a Participant’s Option shall be determined by dividing (a) such Participant’s payroll deductions
accumulated prior to an Exercise Date and retained in the Participant’s Plan Account on such Exercise Date by (b) the applicable Option Price; provided that in no event shall a Participant be
permitted to purchase during each Offering Period more than 50,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof). The Administrator may, for future Offering Periods, increase or decrease, in its absolute
discretion, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that a Participant may purchase during such future Offering Periods. Each Option shall expire on the last Exercise Date for the applicable Offering Period immediately after the
automatic exercise of the Option in accordance with Section 4.3 hereof, unless such Option terminates earlier in accordance with Article 6 hereof.
4.2 Option Price. The “Option Price” per share of Common
Stock to be paid by a Participant upon exercise of the Participant’s Option on an Exercise Date for an Offering Period shall equal 85% of the lesser of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on (a) the applicable Grant Date and
(b) the applicable Exercise Date, or such other price designated by the Administrator; provided that in no event shall the Option Price per share of Common Stock be less than the par value per share
of the Common Stock.
E-5
4.3 Purchase of Shares.
(a) On each Exercise Date for an Offering Period, each
Participant shall automatically and without any action on such Participant’s part be deemed to have exercised the Participant’s Option to purchase at the applicable per share Option Price the largest number of whole shares of Common Stock
which can be purchased with the amount in the Participant’s Plan Account. Any balance less than the per share Option Price that is remaining in the Participant’s Plan Account (after exercise of such Participant’s Option) as of the Exercise
Date shall be carried forward to the next Purchase Period or Offering Period. Any balance not carried forward to the next Purchase Period or Offering Period in accordance with the prior sentence promptly shall be refunded to the applicable
Participant.
(b) As soon as practicable following each Exercise Date, the
number of shares of Common Stock purchased by such Participant pursuant to Section 4.3(a) hereof shall be delivered (either in share certificate or book entry form), in the Company’s sole discretion, to either (i) the Participant or (ii) an
account established in the Participant’s name at a stock brokerage or other financial services firm designated by the Company. If the Company is required to obtain from any commission or agency authority to issue any such shares of Common
Stock, the Company shall seek to obtain such authority. Inability of the Company to obtain from any such commission or agency authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance of any such shares shall relieve
the Company from liability to any Participant except to refund to the Participant such Participant’s Plan Account balance, without interest thereon.
4.4 Automatic Termination of Offering Period. If the Fair
Market Value of a share of Common Stock on any Exercise Date (except the final scheduled Exercise Date of any Offering Period) is lower than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Grant Date for an Offering Period, then
such Offering Period shall terminate on such Exercise Date after the automatic exercise of the Option in accordance with Section 4.3 hereof, and each Participant shall automatically be enrolled in the Offering Period that commences
immediately following such Exercise Date and such Participant’s payroll deduction authorization shall remain in effect for such Offering Period.
4.5 Transferability of Rights. An Option granted under the
Plan shall not be transferable, other than by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant. No option or interest or right to the Option shall be
available to pay off any debts, contracts or engagements of the Participant or the Participant’s successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be
voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempt at disposition of the Option shall have no effect.
ARTICLE 5
PROVISIONS RELATING TO COMMON STOCK
5.1 Common Stock Reserved. Subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 5.2 hereof, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be the sum of (a) [________]1 shares and (b) an annual increase on the first day of each year
beginning in 2022 and ending in 2031 equal to the lesser of (i) [ ]% of the shares outstanding (on an as converted basis) on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (ii) such number of shares as may be determined by the
Board or Committee; provided, however, no more than [________]2 shares may be issued under the Plan. Shares made available for sale under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares,
treasury shares of Common Stock, or reacquired shares reserved for issuance under the Plan.
5.2 Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution,
Liquidation, Merger or Asset Sale.
(a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required
action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but not yet placed under Option, as well as the price per share and the number of shares of Common Stock
covered by each Option under the Plan which has not yet been exercised shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock
dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares
1 NTD: Amount to equal 1% of the fully diluted shares of Common Stock to be outstanding immediately after the closing.
2 NTD: Amount to equal 14.375% of the fully diluted shares of Common Stock to be outstanding immediately after the closing.
E-6
of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. Such
adjustment shall be made by the Administrator, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities
convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option.
(b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the
proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Periods then in progress shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the “New Exercise Date”), and shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such
proposed dissolution or liquidation, unless provided otherwise by the Administrator. The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Company’s proposed dissolution or liquidation. The Administrator shall notify each Participant in
writing, at least ten business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the Participant’s Option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the Participant’s Option shall be exercised automatically on the New
Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 6.1 hereof or the Participant has ceased to be an Eligible Employee as provided in Section 6.2 hereof.
(c) Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a proposed
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of the Company with or into another corporation, each outstanding Option shall be assumed or an equivalent Option substituted by the successor corporation or a
Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. If the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Option, any Offering Periods then in progress shall be shortened by setting a New Exercise Date and any Offering Periods
then in progress shall end on the New Exercise Date. The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Company’s proposed sale or merger. The Administrator shall notify each Participant in writing, at least ten business days prior to
the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the Participant’s Option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the Participant’s Option shall be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the
Participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 6.1 hereof or the Participant has ceased to be an Eligible Employee as provided in Section 6.2 hereof.
5.3 Insufficient Shares. If the Administrator determines
that, on a given Exercise Date, the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Options are to be exercised may exceed the number of shares of Common Stock remaining available for sale under the Plan on such Exercise Date, the
Administrator shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock available for issuance on such Exercise Date in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among
all Participants exercising Options to purchase Common Stock on such Exercise Date, and unless additional shares are authorized for issuance under the Plan, no further Offering Periods shall take place and the Plan shall terminate pursuant
to Section 7.5 hereof. If an Offering Period is so terminated, then the balance of the amount credited to the Participant’s Plan Account which has not been applied to the purchase of shares of Common Stock shall be paid to such Participant
in one lump sum in cash within 30 days after such Exercise Date, without any interest thereon.
5.4 Rights as Stockholders. With respect to shares of
Common Stock subject to an Option, a Participant shall not be deemed to be a stockholder of the Company and shall not have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder. A Participant shall have the rights and privileges of a stockholder
of the Company when, but not until, shares of Common Stock have been deposited in the designated brokerage account following exercise of the Participant’s Option.
ARTICLE 6
TERMINATION OF PARTICIPATION
6.1 Cessation of Contributions; Voluntary Withdrawal.
(a) A Participant may cease payroll deductions during an
Offering Period and elect to withdraw from the Plan by delivering written notice of such election to the Company in such form and at such time prior to the Exercise Date for such Offering Period as may be established by the Administrator (a
“Withdrawal Election”). A Participant electing to withdraw from the Plan may elect to either (i) withdraw all of the funds then credited to the Participant’s Plan Account as of the
date on which the Withdrawal Election is received by the Company, in which case amounts credited to such Plan Account shall be returned to the Participant in one lump-sum payment in cash within 30 days after such election is received by the
Company, without any interest thereon, and the Participant shall cease to participate in the Plan and the Participant’s Option for such Offering Period shall
E-7
terminate; or (ii) exercise the Option for the maximum number of whole shares of
Common Stock on the applicable Exercise Date with any remaining Plan Account balance returned to the Participant in one lump-sum payment in cash within 30 days after such Exercise Date, without any interest thereon, and after such exercise
cease to participate in the Plan. Upon receipt of a Withdrawal Election, the Participant’s payroll deduction authorization and the Participant’s Option shall terminate.
(b) A Participant’s withdrawal from the Plan shall not have any
effect upon the Participant’s eligibility to participate in any similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company or in succeeding Offering Periods which commence after the termination of the Offering Period from which the
Participant withdraws.
(c) A Participant who ceases contributions to the Plan during
any Offering Period shall not be permitted to resume contributions to the Plan during that Offering Period.
6.2 Termination of Eligibility. Upon a Participant’s
ceasing to be an Eligible Employee, for any reason, such Participant’s Option for the applicable Offering Period shall automatically terminate, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan, and such
Participant’s Plan Account shall be paid to such Participant or, in the case of the Participant’s death, to the person or persons entitled thereto pursuant to applicable law, within 30 days after such cessation of being an Eligible
Employee, without any interest thereon. If a Participant transfers employment from the Company or any Designated Subsidiary participating in the Section 423 Component to any Designated Subsidiary participating in the Non-Section 423
Component, such transfer shall not be treated as a termination of employment, but the Participant shall immediately cease to participate in the Section 423 Component; however, any contributions made for the Offering Period in which such
transfer occurs shall be transferred to the Non-Section 423 Component, and such Participant shall immediately join the then-current Offering under the Non-Section 423 Component upon the same terms and conditions in effect for the
Participant’s participation in the Section 423 Component, except for such modifications otherwise applicable for Participants in such Offering. A Participant who transfers employment from any Designated Subsidiary participating in the
Non-Section 423 Component to the Company or any Designated Subsidiary participating in the Section 423 Component shall not be treated as terminating the Participant’s employment and shall remain a Participant in the Non-Section 423
Component until the earlier of (i) the end of the current Offering Period under the Non-Section 423 Component, or (ii) the Enrollment Date of the first Offering Period in which the Participant is eligible to participate following such
transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may establish different rules to govern transfers of employment between companies participating in the Section 423 Component and the Non-Section 423 Component, consistent with the
applicable requirements of Section 423 of the Code.

final and binding upon all Participants, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Board or Administrator shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the
Plan or the options, and all members of the Board or Administrator shall be fully protected by the Company in respect to any such action, determination, or interpretation.

construed to give any person (including any Participant) the right to remain in the employ of the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary or to affect the right of the Company, any Parent or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any
person (including any Participant) at any time, with or without cause, which right is expressly reserved.
7.5 Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan shall be deemed amended to the
extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.
7.10 Notice of Disposition of Shares. Each Participant
shall give the Company prompt notice of any disposition or other transfer of any shares of Common Stock, acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option granted under the Section 423 Component, if such disposition or transfer is made (a)

acquired pursuant to the Plan refer to such requirement.

7.14 Conditions To Issuance of Shares.
(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates or make any book entries evidencing shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of an Option by a Participant, unless and until the Board or the Committee has
determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any securities exchange or
automated quotation system on which the shares of Common Stock are listed or traded, and the shares of Common Stock are covered by an effective registration statement or applicable exemption from registration. In addition to the terms and
conditions provided herein, the Board or the Committee may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Board or the Committee, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with
any such laws, regulations, or requirements.
E-10
(b) All certificates for shares of Common Stock delivered
pursuant to the Plan and all shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to book entry procedures are subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal, state, or
foreign securities or other laws, rules and regulations and the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the shares of Common Stock are listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee may place legends on any
certificate or book entry evidencing shares of Common Stock to reference restrictions applicable to the shares of Common Stock.
(c) The Committee shall have the right to require any
Participant to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement, distribution or exercise of any Option, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the sole discretion of the Committee.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, unless
otherwise determined by the Committee or required by any applicable law, rule or regulation, the Company may, in lieu of delivering to any Participant certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any Option,
record the issuance of shares of Common Stock in the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator).
7.15 Equal Rights and Privileges. All Eligible Employees
of the Company (or of any Designated Subsidiary) granted Options pursuant to an Offering under the Section 423 Component shall have equal rights and privileges under this Plan to the extent required under Section 423 of the Code so that the
Section 423 Component qualifies as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code. Any provision of the Section 423 Component that is inconsistent with Section 423 of the Code shall, without further act or
amendment by the Company or the Board, be reformed to comply with the equal rights and privileges requirement of Section 423 of the Code. Eligible Employees participating in the Non-Section 423 Component need not have the same rights and
privileges as Eligible Employees participating in the Section 423 Component.
7.16 Rules Particular to Specific Countries.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the terms and conditions of the Plan with respect to Participants who are tax residents of a particular non-U.S. country or who are foreign nationals or employed in non-U.S. jurisdictions may
be subject to an addendum to the Plan in the form of an appendix or sub-plan (which appendix or sub-plan may be designed to govern Offerings under the Section 423 Component or the Non-Section 423 Component, as determined by the
Administrator). To the extent that the terms and conditions set forth in an appendix or sub-plan conflict with any provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the appendix or sub-plan shall govern. The adoption of any such appendix or
sub-plan shall be pursuant to Section 7.1 above. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrator is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures, with respect to Participants who are foreign nationals or employed in non-U.S.
jurisdictions, regarding the exclusion of particular Subsidiaries from participation in the Plan, eligibility to participate, the definition of Compensation, handling of payroll deductions or other contributions by Participants, payment of
interest, conversion of local currency, data privacy security, payroll tax, withholding procedures, establishment of bank or trust accounts to hold payroll deductions or contributions.
7.17 Section 409A. The Section 423 Component of the Plan
and the Options granted pursuant to Offerings thereunder are intended to be exempt from the application of Section 409A. Neither the Non-Section 423 Component nor any Option granted pursuant to an Offering thereunder is intended to
constitute or provide for “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the Administrator determines that any Option granted under the Plan may be or
become subject to Section 409A or that any provision of the Plan may cause an Option granted under the Plan to be or become subject to Section 409A, the Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan and/or adopt other policies and
procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions as the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to avoid the imposition of taxes under Section 409A, either through
compliance with the requirements of Section 409A or with an available exemption therefrom.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
Shelf Registration.
Filing. The Company shall file within 45 days after the date of this Agreement, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective as soon as practicable thereafter, a Registration
Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1 Shelf”) or, if the Company is eligible to use a Registration Statement on Form S-3, a Shelf Registration on Form S-3 (the “Form S-3 Shelf”), in each case, covering the resale of all the Registrable Securities (determined as of two business days prior to such filing) on a delayed or continuous basis. Such Shelf shall
provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. The Company shall maintain a Shelf in accordance with the
terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a Shelf continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of
the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. In the event the Company files a Form S-1 Shelf, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 Shelf (and any Subsequent
Shelf Registration) to a Form S-3 Shelf as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3.
Subsequent Shelf Registration. If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities are still outstanding, the Company shall, subject to Section
3.4, use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the
effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness
of such Shelf or file an additional registration statement as a Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two
business days prior to such filing), and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be
an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) if the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) at the most recent applicable
eligibility determination date) and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable
Securities. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on another appropriate form.
Additional Registrable Securities. In the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, the Company, upon request of a Sponsor
Equityholder or a Legacy Owlet Equityholder that holds at least five (5.0%) percent of the Registrable Securities, shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by
either, at the Company’s option, the Shelf (including by means of a post-effective amendment) or a Subsequent Shelf Registration and cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf
Registration shall be subject to the terms hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall only be required to cause such Registrable Securities to be so covered twice per calendar year for the Legacy Owlet Equityholders, on the one hand, and
the Sponsor Equityholders, on the other hand.
Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. At any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission, any one or more Legacy Owlet Equityholders or one or more Sponsor Equityholders
(any of the Legacy Owlet Equityholders or the Sponsor Equityholders being, in such case, a “Demanding Holder”) may request to sell all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an
Underwritten Offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided in each case that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten
Offering if such offering shall include Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Demanding Holder(s) with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $50 million (the “Minimum
Takedown Threshold”). All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the
Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Subject to Section 2.3.4, the Company shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks), subject to the initial
Demanding Holder’s prior approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Legacy Owlet Equityholders, on the one hand, and the Sponsor Equityholders, on the other hand, may each demand not more than two (2)
Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to this Section 2.1.4 in any 12-month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may affect any Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to any then effective Registration
Statement, including a Form S-3, that is then available for such offering.
Reduction of Underwritten Shelf Takedown. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown advises the Company, the Demanding Holders and the Holders requesting piggy back rights
pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (the “Requesting Holders”) (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the
Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and all other shares of Common Stock or other equity
securities, if any, that have been requested to be sold in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum
number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar
amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, before including any shares of
Common Stock or other equity securities proposed to be sold by Company or by other holders of Common Stock or other equity securities, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata, as nearly
as practicable, based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder and Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities
that the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders have requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, or in such other proportion as shall mutually be agreed to by all such Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders) that can be sold
without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; provided, however, that the number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first
entirely excluded from the Underwritten Shelf Takedown. For purposes of the provision in this Section 2.1.5 concerning apportionment, for any selling Holder that is a partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, the partners,
members, retired partners, retired members, stockholders, and Affiliates of such Holder, or the estates and Immediate Family Members of any such partners, retired partners, members, and retired members and any trusts for the benefit of any of
the foregoing Persons, shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by all Persons included in such
“selling Holder,” as defined in this sentence. To facilitate the allocation of Registrable Securities in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the Underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the
nearest 100 shares. The Company shall not be required to include any Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown unless the Holders accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its Underwriters.
Withdrawal. Prior to the filing of the applicable “red xxxxxxx” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating
an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall have the right to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification (a “Withdrawal Notice”) to the
Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown; provided that any Legacy Owlet Equityholder or Sponsor Equityholder may elect to have the Company continue an
Underwritten Shelf Takedown if the Minimum Takedown Threshold would still be satisfied by the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown by the Legacy Owlet Equityholders and the Sponsor Equityholders. If
withdrawn, a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall constitute a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown for purposes of Section 2.1.4, unless either (i) the Demanding Holder has not previously withdrawn any Underwritten Shelf
Takedown or (ii) the Holder reimburses the Company for all Registration Expenses with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown; provided that, if a Legacy Owlet Equityholder or a Sponsor Equityholder elects to continue an Underwritten Shelf
Takedown pursuant to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, such Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall instead count as an Underwritten Shelf Takedown demanded by the Legacy Owlet Equityholders or the Sponsor Equityholders, as
applicable, for purposes of Section 2.1.4. Following the receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, the Company shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Holders that had elected to participate in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Underwritten Shelf Takedown prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.1.6, other than if
a Demanding Holder elects to pay such Registration Expenses pursuant to clause (ii) of the second sentence of this Section 2.1.6.
New Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 2.1, in the event the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as
a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to
file amendments to the Shelf Registration as required by the Commission and/or (ii) withdraw the Shelf Registration and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”), on Form
S-3, or if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company for such registration statement, on such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such
amendment or New Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with any publicly-available written or
oral guidance, comments, requirements or requests of the Commission staff (the “SEC Guidance”), including without limitation, the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations D.29.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and
notwithstanding that the Company used commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a holder as to its
Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders, subject to a determination
by the Commission that certain Holders must be reduced first based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders. In the event the Company amends the Shelf Registration or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be,
under clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one
or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Shelf Registration, as amended, or the New Registration Statement.
Effective Registration. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1.3 or Section 2.1.4 above or any other part of this Agreement, a Registration shall not count as a Registration unless and
until (i) the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission and (ii) the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, further, that if, after such Registration
Statement has been declared effective, an offering of Registrable Securities is subsequently interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission, federal or state court or any other governmental agency the Registration Statement
with respect to such Registration shall be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders
initiating such Registration thereafter affirmatively elect to continue with such Registration and accordingly notify the Company in writing, but in no event later than five (5) days, of such election; provided, further, that the Company shall
not be obligated or required to file another Registration Statement until the Registration Statement that has been previously filed with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration becomes effective or is subsequently
terminated.
Piggyback Registration.
Piggyback Rights. Subject to Section 2.4.3, if the Company or any Holder proposes to conduct a registered offering of, or if the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with
respect to the Registration of, equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of stockholders of the Company (or by the
Company and by the stockholders of the Company including, without limitation, an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof), other than a Registration Statement (or any registered offering with respect thereto) (i) filed in
connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto),
(iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company, (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan or (v) for a rights offering, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed offering to all of the
Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the
applicable “red xxxxxxx” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such offering, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the
name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to include in such registered offering such number of Registrable Securities as
such Holders may request in writing within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice (such registered offering, a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to Section 2.2.2, the Company shall
cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and, if applicable, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of such Piggyback Registration to permit the
Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.2.1 to be included therein on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such registered offering and to permit the sale or other
disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The inclusion of any Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration shall be subject to such Holder’s agreement to enter
into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering.
Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering that is to be a Piggyback Registration advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities
participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) the shares of Common Stock or other equity
securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (ii) the
Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, and (iii) the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been requested
pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:
If the Registration or registered
offering is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Registration or registered offering (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold
without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register
their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.2.1, pro rata (as nearly as practicable), based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering and the aggregate
number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering or in such other proportions as shall mutually be
agreed to by all such selling Holders, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the
shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, which can be
sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;
If the Registration or registered
offering is pursuant to a request by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall include in any such Registration or registered offering (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other equity
securities, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities
has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.2.1, pro rata (as nearly as practicable), based on the respective
number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to
the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the
Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities for the account of other
persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and
If the Registration or registered offering is pursuant to a request by Holder(s) of Registrable Securities pursuant
to Section 2.1 hereof, then the Company shall include in any such Registration or registered offering securities pursuant to Section 2.1.5.
Piggyback Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities (other than a Demanding Holder, whose right to withdrawal from an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, and related obligations, shall be
governed by Section 2.1.6) shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to
withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration or, in the case of a Piggyback Registration pursuant to a Shelf
Registration, the filing of the applicable “red xxxxxxx” prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect to such Piggyback Registration used for marketing such transaction. The Company (whether on its own determination or as the result of a
request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration (which, in no circumstance, shall include the
Shelf) at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (other than Section 2.1.6), the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in
connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.2.3.
Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, subject to Section 2.1.6, any Piggyback Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as a demand for an Underwritten
Shelf Takedown under Section 2.1.4 hereof.
Market Stand-Off. In connection with any Underwritten Offering of equity securities of the Company (other than a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering), each Holder given an opportunity to participate in
the Underwritten Offering pursuant to the terms of this Agreement agrees that it shall not Transfer any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company (other than those included in such offering pursuant to this Agreement),
without the prior written consent of the Company, during the Market Standoff Period or such shorter period during which the Company agrees not to conduct an underwritten primary offering of Common Stock, except in the event the Underwriters
managing the offering otherwise agree by written consent. Each Holder agrees to execute a customary lock-up agreement in favor of the Underwriters to such effect (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all such Holders).
“Market Standoff Period” means the 90-day period beginning on the date of the pricing of such offering if such pricing occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Closing and the 60-day period
beginning on the date of the pricing of such offering if such pricing occurs on or after the first anniversary of the Closing.
Block Trades; Other Coordinated Offerings.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission and
effective, if a Demanding Holder wishes to engage in (a) a Block Trade or (b) an “at the market” or similar registered offering through a broker, sales agent or distribution agent, whether as agent or principal (an “Other Coordinated Offering”), in each case with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, either (x) $50 million or (y) all remaining Registrable Securities held by the Demanding Holder, then
notwithstanding the time periods provided for in Section 2.1.4, such Demanding Holder need only to notify the Company of the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering at least five (5) business days prior to the day such offering is to commence
and the Company shall as expeditiously as possible use its commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering; provided that the Demanding Holders representing a majority of the Registrable Securities
wishing to engage in the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Company and any Underwriters or placement agents or sales agents prior to making such request in order to facilitate
preparation of the registration statement, prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering.
Prior to the filing of the applicable “red xxxxxxx” prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with a Block Trade or
Other Coordinated Offering, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall have the right to submit a Withdrawal Notice to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters or
placement agents or sales agents (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration
Expenses incurred in connection with a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.4.2.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Section 2.2 hereof shall not apply to a Block Trade or Other Coordinated
Offering initiated by a Demanding Holder pursuant to this Agreement.
The Demanding Holder in a Block Trade shall have the right to select the Underwriters and any sale agents or placement agents (if
any) for such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering (in each case, which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks).
REGISTRATION PROCEDURES
Filings; Information. In connection with any Shelf and/or Shelf Takedown, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration and sale of such Registrable
Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof as expeditiously as practicable, and in connection therewith:
Filing Registration Statement. The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on any form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall deem
appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of all Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause
such Registration Statement to become effective and use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep it effective for the period required by Section 3.1.3.
Copies. The Company shall, prior to filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such
registration, and such holders’ legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated
by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus), and such other documents as the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration or legal counsel for any such
holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such holders.
Amendments and Supplements. The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to such Registration Statement and the
Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such
Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or such securities have been withdrawn.
Notification. After the filing of a Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly, and in no event more than two (2) business days after such filing, notify the holders of Registrable Securities
included in such Registration Statement of such filing, and shall further notify such holders promptly and confirm such advice in writing in all events within two (2) business days of the occurrence of any of the following: (i) when such
Registration Statement becomes effective; (ii) when any post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement becomes effective; (iii) the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission of any stop order (and the Company shall take all
actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered); and (iv) any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or any Prospectus relating thereto or for additional
information or of the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such Prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the securities covered by such Registration Statement, such Prospectus
will not contain a Misstatement, and promptly make available to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement any such supplement or amendment; except that before filing with the Commission a Registration
Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference, the Company shall furnish to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement and to the legal counsel
for any such holders, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed sufficiently in advance of filing to provide such holders and legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and comment thereon, and the Company
shall not file any Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference, to which such holders or their legal counsel shall object.
State Securities Laws Compliance. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities
or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may request (or provide evidence satisfactory to
such Holders that the Registrable Securities are exempt from such registration or qualification) and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by
such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included
in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would
not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph or subject itself to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction.
Agreements for Disposition. The Company shall enter into customary agreements (including, if applicable, an underwriting agreement or other sales or distribution agreement in customary form) and take
such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Company in any such agreement which are made to or for the
benefit of any Underwriters or other placement agent or sales agent, to the extent applicable, shall also be made to and for the benefit of the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement.
Cooperation. The principal executive officer of the Company, the principal financial officer of the Company, the principal accounting officer of the Company and all other officers and members of the management of
the Company shall cooperate fully in any offering of Registrable Securities hereunder, which cooperation shall include, without limitation, the preparation of the Registration Statement with respect to such offering and all other offering
materials and related documents, and participation in meetings with Underwriters or placement agents or sales agents, attorneys, accountants and potential investors.
Records. The Company shall make available for inspection by the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, any Underwriter or placement agent or sales agent participating in any
disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement or any Underwriter or placement agent or sales
agent, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, as shall be necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees
to supply all information requested by any of them in connection with such Registration Statement.
Opinions and Comfort Letters. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain (i) a “comfort” letter (including a bring-down letter dated as of the date the Registrable Securities are
delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration) from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Offering, Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering, in customary form and covering such matters of
the type customarily covered by “comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter or placement agent or sales agent may reasonably request and (ii) an opinion and negative assurance letter, to be delivered on the date the Registrable Securities are
delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration Statement, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Holders, the placement agent or sale agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering
such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the Holders, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and
negative assurance letters, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the participating Holders and any Underwriter or placement agent or sales agent.
Earnings Statement. The Company shall comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and the Securities Act, and make available to its shareholders, as soon as practicable, an earnings
statement covering a period of twelve (12) months, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.
Listing. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities included in any registration to be listed on such exchanges or otherwise designated for trading in the same
manner as similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or designated or, if no such similar securities are then listed or designated, in a manner satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in
such registration.
Road Show. The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the
Underwriter in any underwritten offering.
Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses
relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ or agents’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable
fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.
Information. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested by the Company, or the managing Underwriter or placement agent or sales agent, if any, in
connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement or Prospectus, including amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Article 2 and in
connection with the Company’s obligation to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Holder does not provide such information, the Company may exclude such
Holder’s Registrable Securities from the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus if the Company determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such information is necessary to effect the Registration and such Holder continues
thereafter to withhold such information. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering or other coordinated offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person
(i) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting or
other agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such arrangements. The exclusion of a Holder’s Registrable Securities as a result of this Section 3.3 shall not affect the registration of the other
Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration.
Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure; Restrictions
on Registration Rights.
Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the
Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file
such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed.
If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would
(a) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, (b) require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, or (c) in the good faith
judgment of the majority of the Board such Registration, be seriously detrimental to the Company and the majority of the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer such filing, initial effectiveness or continued use at such time,
the Company may delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the request of the Holders is given; provided, however, that the
Company may not invoke this right more than twice in any twelve (12) month period. In the event the Company exercises its rights under this Section 3.4.2, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to
above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities.
(a) During the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of,
and ending upon the completion of the Market Standoff Period, a Company-initiated Registration and provided that the Company continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the applicable shelf
registration statement, or (b) if, pursuant to Section 2.1.4, Holders have requested an Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the Company and such Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite such offering, the
Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay any other registered offering pursuant to Section 2.1.4 or 2.4.
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.
Indemnification by the Company. To the extent permitted by law, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Securities, and each of their respective officers, employees,
affiliates, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents, and each person, if any, who controls a Holder of Registrable Securities (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each, an “Holder Indemnified Party”), from and against all losses, judgments, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses, whether joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement
(or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any Prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any
amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, or arising out of or based upon any omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any
violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration; and the Company shall
promptly reimburse the Holder Indemnified Party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Holder Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending any such losses, judgments, claims, damages, liabilities or
out-of-pocket expenses whether or not any such person is a party to any such claim or action and including any and all legal and other expenses incurred in giving testimony or furnishing documents in response to a subpoena or otherwise;
provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, and the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such losses, judgments, claims, damages, liabilities or out-of-pocket expenses arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or
allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing, by a
Holder Indemnified Party expressly for use therein.
Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. To the extent permitted by law and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.4.3 hereof, each selling Holder of Registrable Securities will, in the event that any
Registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held by such selling Holder, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers, legal counsel and
accountants for the Company and each Underwriter or placement agent or sales agent (if any), and each other selling Holder and each other person, if any, who controls the Company, another selling holder or such Underwriter or placement agent or
sales agent within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, judgments, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses, whether joint or several, insofar as such losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under
the Securities Act, any Prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such selling Holder expressly for
use therein, and shall reimburse the Company, its directors and officers, and each other selling holder or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigation or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without
the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Each selling Holder’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received by
such selling holder, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder.
Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.1
or 5.2, such person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not
relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified
Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with
all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of
such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation; provided, however, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such
separate counsel) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with
the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written advice of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in
respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from
all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.

If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of
any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined by pro
rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding Section 4.4.1.
The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions
or taxes) actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities which gave rise to such contribution obligation. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) with
respect to any action shall be entitled to contribution in such action from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
UNDERWRITING AND DISTRIBUTION.
Rule 144. The Company covenants that it shall file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action as the holders of Registrable
Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144
under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Other Registration Rights. Except as provided in the Subscription Agreements, the Company represents and warrants that no person, other than the holders of the Registrable Securities, has any right
to require the Company to register any shares of the Company’s capital stock for sale or to include shares of the Company’s capital stock in any registration filed by the Company for the sale of shares of capital stock for its own account or
for the account of any other person.

rights, duties and obligations of the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder may be freely assigned or delegated by such holder of Registrable Securities in conjunction with and to the extent of any transfer of Registrable Securities by
any such holder. This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties, to the permitted assigns of the Holders or holder of Registrable Securities or of any assignee of the
Holders or holder of Registrable Securities. This Agreement is not intended to confer any rights or benefits on any persons that are not party hereto other than as expressly set forth in Article 4 and this Section 6.2.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
Sandbridge Acquisition Corporation
0000 Xxxxxx xx xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 0000
0000 Xxxxxx xx xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 0000
Xxx Xxxxxxx, XX 00000
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This Subscription Agreement (this “Subscription Agreement”) is being entered into by and between Sandbridge Acquisition
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Sandbridge”), and the undersigned subscriber (the “Investor”), as of the date set forth on Sandbridge’s signature page hereto, in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, to be
entered into concurrently herewith (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Transaction Agreement”), by and among Sandbridge, Owlet Baby Care Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
Project Olympus Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving company in the merger and, after giving
effect to such merger, becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sandbridge, on the terms and subject to the conditions therein (such merger, the “Transaction”). In connection with the Transaction, Sandbridge is seeking commitments from
interested investors to purchase, prior to the closing of the Transaction, shares of Sandbridge’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, Sandbridge is entering into subscription agreements (the “Other Subscription Agreements”) with certain other investors (the “Other Investors” and
together with the Investor, the “Investors”), severally and not jointly, 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 thirteen (13) million 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.”
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 and Sandbridge acknowledges and agrees as follows:
1. Subscription. The Investor hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase from Sandbridge, and Sandbridge agrees to issue and
sell to the Investor, 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) Sandbridge to the Investor (the “Closing Notice”), that Sandbridge 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 Sandbridge, two (2) business days 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 Sandbridge in the Closing Notice to be held in escrow until
Closing. On the Closing Date, Sandbridge shall issue a number of Shares to the Investor set forth on the signature page to this Subscription Agreement, free and clear of any liens or restrictions (other than those arising under state and federal
securities laws), and subsequently cause such Shares to be registered in book entry form in the name of the Investor on Sandbridge’s share register; provided, however, that Sandbridge’s obligation to issue the Shares to the Investor is contingent
upon Sandbridge having received the Subscription Amount in full accordance with this Section 2. In the event that the consummation of the Transaction does not occur within ten (10) business days after the anticipated Closing Date specified in
the Closing Notice, Sandbridge shall promptly (but in no event later than twelve (12) business days after the anticipated Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice) return the funds so delivered by the Investor to Sandbridge by wire transfer
in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Investor. Notwithstanding such return, (i) failure to close on the Closing Date contained in the Closing Notice shall not, by itself, be deemed to be a failure of any of the
conditions to Closing set forth in this Section 2 to be satisfied or waived, and (ii) Investor shall remain obligated to (A) redeliver funds to Sandbridge following Sandbridge’s delivery to Investor of a new Closing Notice with a new Closing Date
in accordance with this Subscription Agreement and (B) consummate the Closing upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3, subject to termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8 below. For purposes of this
Subscription Agreement, “business day” shall mean a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which commercial banks in New York, New York are open for the general transaction of business.
3. Closing Conditions.
a. The obligation of the parties hereto to consummate the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement is
subject to the following conditions:
(i) no applicable governmental authority shall have issued, enforced or entered any judgment or order, which is
then in effect and has the effect of making the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise restraining or prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; and
(ii) (A) all conditions precedent to the closing of the Transaction under the Transaction Agreement shall have been
satisfied (as determined by the parties to the Transaction Agreement and other than those conditions under the Transaction Agreement which, by their nature, are to be satisfied 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 waived and (B) the closing of the Transaction shall be scheduled to occur concurrently with or on the same date
as the Closing; and
(iii) no suspension of the qualification of the Shares for offering or sale or trading in any jurisdiction in the
United States, or initiation of any proceedings for any of such purposes, shall have occurred and be continuing.
b. The obligation of Sandbridge to consummate the issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement shall be
subject to the condition that all representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement are true and correct in all material respects at and as of the Closing Date, and consummation of the Closing shall
constitute a reaffirmation by the Investor of each of the representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement as of the Closing Date.
c. The obligation of the Investor to consummate the purchase of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement shall be subject to
the following conditions:
(i) no amendment, modification or waiver of the Transaction Agreement (as the same exists on the date of this
Subscription Agreement) shall have occurred without the Investor’s written consent that would materially and adversely affect the economic benefits that Investor would reasonably expect to receive under this Subscription Agreement;
(ii) all representations and warranties of Sandbridge contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and
correct as of the Closing Date (other than those representations and warranties expressly made as of an earlier date, which shall be true and correct as of such date), except, in the case of this clause (ii), for any failure of any such
representation and warranty to be so true and correct (without giving effect to any qualification by materiality or Material Adverse Effect contained therein) that
would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
(iii) Sandbridge shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants,
agreements and conditions required by the Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to the Closing; provided, that this condition shall be deemed satisfied unless written notice of such non-compliance is
provided by the Investor to Sandbridge, and Sandbridge fails to cure such non-compliance in all material respects within five (5) business days of receipt of such notice;
(iv) there shall have been no amendment, waiver, or modification to the other Subscription Agreements that
materially economically benefits the Other Investor unless the Investor has been offered substantially the same benefits; and
(vi) the Stock Exchange (as defined herein) shall have conditionally authorized, subject to official notice of
issuance, the listing of the Shares.
4. Further Assurances. Prior to or at the Closing, the Investor shall deliver all such other information as is reasonably
requested in order for Sandbridge to issue the Shares to the Investor.
5. Sandbridge Representations and Warranties. Sandbridge represents and warrants to the Investor that:
a. Sandbridge is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
Sandbridge has all corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted and to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement.
b. As of the Closing Date, the Shares will be duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to the Investor against full payment
therefor in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will not have been issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive or similar rights created under
Sandbridge’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
c. This Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Sandbridge and, assuming that this Subscription
Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Investor, this Subscription Agreement is enforceable against Sandbridge 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, or (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.
d. The execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Shares and the compliance by Sandbridge
with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under,
or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of Sandbridge or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease,
license or other agreement or instrument to which Sandbridge or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Sandbridge or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of Sandbridge is subject that would reasonably
be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of Sandbridge and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole and assuming for this purpose the consummation of the Transaction (a “Material
Adverse Effect”) or materially affect the validity of the Shares or the legal authority of Sandbridge to comply in all material respects with the terms of this Subscription Agreement; (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the
organizational documents of Sandbridge; or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over Sandbridge or any of
their properties that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or materially affect the validity of the Shares or the legal authority of Sandbridge to comply in all material respects with this Subscription Agreement.
e. As of their respective dates, all reports (the “SEC Reports”) required to be filed by Sandbridge with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Sandbridge has timely filed each SEC Report, statement, schedule, prospectus and registration statement that Sandbridge was
required to file with the SEC since the effective date of its initial registration statement relating to the initial public offering of its securities. The financial statements of Sandbridge included in the SEC Reports comply in all material
respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of Sandbridge as of and for the
dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, year-end audit adjustments. A copy of each SEC Report is available to the Investor via the SEC’s XXXXX
system. There are no outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters received by Sandbridge from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the SEC with respect to any of the SEC Reports.
f. Other than the Other Subscription Agreements, the Transaction Agreement and any other agreement expressly contemplated by the
Transaction Agreement, Sandbridge has not entered into any side letter or similar agreement with any Other Investor in connection with such investor’s investment in the Shares, and no Other Subscription Agreement includes terms and conditions
that are materially more favorable to any such Other Investor than Investor hereunder, and such Other Subscription Agreements reflect the same Per Share Purchase Price. The Other Subscription Agreements have not been amended in any material
respect following the date of this Subscription Agreement.
g. Sandbridge is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or
registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by Sandbridge of this Subscription Agreement
(including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares), other than (i) filings with the SEC, (ii) filings required by applicable state securities laws, (iii) filings required by the New York Stock Exchange (the “Stock Exchange”), and
(iv) the failure of which to obtain would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
h. As of the date of this Subscription Agreement, the authorized capital stock of Sandbridge consists of 1,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock, 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock (“Class A Stock”), and 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock (the “Class B Stock”), each par value $0.0001 per share. As of the date of this Subscription Agreement, (i) no
Preferred Shares are issued and outstanding, (ii) 23,000,000 shares of Class A Stock are issued and outstanding, (iii) 5,750,000 shares of Class B Stock are issued and outstanding and (iv) 11,500,000 redeemable warrants and 6,600,000 private
placement warrants to acquire shares of Class A Stock are outstanding. All (A) issued and outstanding shares of Class A Stock and Class B Stock have been duly authorized, are fully paid and are non-assessable and (B) outstanding warrants have
been duly authorized. Except as set forth above, and except for any equity interests issued upon conversion or exercise of any of the equity interests set forth above in accordance with their terms, and other than pursuant to the Other
Subscription Agreements, the Transaction Agreement and the other agreements and arrangements referred to therein, as of the date hereof, there are no outstanding options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for, purchase or acquire from
Sandbridge any shares of Class A Stock, Class B Stock or other equity interests in Sandbridge, or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such equity interests. As of the date hereof, Sandbridge has no subsidiaries, other
than Merger Sub, and does not own, directly or indirectly, interests or investments (whether equity or debt) in any person, whether incorporated or unincorporated. There are no stockholder agreements, voting trusts or other agreements or
understandings to which Sandbridge is a party or by which it is bound relating to the voting of any securities of Sandbridge, other than (1) as set forth in the SEC Reports and (2) as contemplated by the Transaction Agreement. There are no
securities or instruments issued by Sandbridge containing anti-dilution provisions that will be triggered by the issuance of (i) the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or (ii) the Shares to be issued pursuant to any Other Subscription
Agreement, in each case, that have not been or will not be validly waived on or prior to the Closing Date.
i. The issued and outstanding shares of Class A Stock are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and are listed for
trading on the Stock Exchange. As of the date hereof, there is no suit, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of Sandbridge, threatened against Sandbridge by the Stock Exchange or the SEC, respectively, to prohibit or
terminate the listing of the Class A Stock, or to deregister the Class A Stock. Sandbridge has taken no action that is designed to terminate the registration of the shares of Class A Stock under the Exchange Act.
j. Assuming the accuracy of the Investor’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 6, no registration under the Securities
Act is required for the offer and sale of the Shares by Sandbridge to the Investor hereunder. The Shares (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) 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.
k. Except for such matters as have not had and would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, there is
no (i) action, suit, claim or other proceeding, in each case by or before any governmental authority pending, or, to the knowledge of Sandbridge, threatened against Sandbridge or (ii) judgment, decree, injunction, ruling or order of any
governmental entity or arbitrator outstanding against Sandbridge.
l. Sandbridge is in compliance with all applicable laws, except where such non-compliance would not reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Sandbridge has not received any written communication from a governmental authority that alleges that Sandbridge is not in compliance with or is in default or violation of any
applicable law, except where such non-compliance, default or violation would not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
m. Other than the Placement Agents (as defined below), Sandbridge has not engaged any broker, finder, commission agent, placement
agent or arranger in connection with the sale of the Shares, and Sandbridge is not under any obligation to pay any broker’s fee or commission in connection with the sale of the Shares other than to the Placement Agents.
n. Sandbridge is not a United States real property holding corporation (as defined in Section 897(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended).
o. No part of the proceeds of the Subscription Amount will be used, directly or indirectly, for any purpose that would breach the
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 or the U.K. Xxxxxxx Xxx 0000, each as may be amended, or similar law of any other relevant jurisdiction, or the rules or regulations thereunder, or for any purpose that would breach any U.S. or other
applicable anti-money laundering or economic sanctions laws.
p. Sandbridge is not required to be registered as, and is not an affiliate of, and immediately following the Closing (including the
closing of the Transaction) will not be required to register as, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
r. Sandbridge acknowledges that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Shares may be pledged by Investor in connection
with a bona fide margin agreement, provided such pledge shall be (i) pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or (ii) pursuant to, and in accordance with, a registration statement that is
effective under the Securities Act at the time of such pledge, and the Investor effecting a pledge of Shares shall not be required to provided Sandbridge with any notice thereof; provided, however, that neither Sandbridge or its counsel shall be
required to take any action (or refrain from taking any action) in connection with any such pledge.
6. Investor Representations and Warranties. The Investor represents and warrants to Sandbridge that:
a. The Investor (i) is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act), an institutional
“accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act) or a “qualified purchaser” (as defined in Section 2(a)(51)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940), in each case, satisfying the applicable requirements set
forth on Schedule A, (ii) is acquiring the Shares only for his, her or its own account and not for the account of others, or if the Investor is subscribing for the Shares as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, the
Investor has full investment discretion with respect to each such account, and the full power and authority to make the acknowledgements, representations and agreements herein on behalf of each owner of each such account, and (iii) is not
acquiring the Shares with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act (and shall provide the requested information set forth on Schedule A). The Investor is not an entity
formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares.
b. 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 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 Sandbridge or a subsidiary 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. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares will be subject to the foregoing transfer
restrictions and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, the Investor may not be able to readily offer, resell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Shares
for an indefinite period of time. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares will not be eligible for offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act until at least one year from
the date that Sandbridge files a Current Report on Form 8-K following the Closing Date that includes the “Form 10” information required under applicable SEC rules and regulations. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that it has been advised to
consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition of any of the Shares.
c. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor is purchasing the Shares from Sandbridge. The Investor further acknowledges
that there have been no representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made to the Investor by or on behalf of Sandbridge, the Company, any of their respective officers and directors, or any other person or entity, expressly or by
implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Sandbridge expressly set forth in this Subscription Agreement.
d. The Investor’s acquisition and holding of the Shares will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under
Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any applicable similar law.
e. 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 Sandbridge, the Transaction and the business of the Company and its subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor acknowledges that
he, she or it has reviewed the SEC Reports. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor and the Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such
information as the Investor and such Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares.
f. The Investor became aware of this offering of the Shares solely by means of direct contact between the Investor and Sandbridge, the
Company or a representative of Sandbridge or the Company, and the Shares were offered to the Investor solely by direct contact between the Investor and Sandbridge, the Company or a representative of Sandbridge or the Company. 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 the Investor by any form of general solicitation or general
advertising and (ii) are not being offered to the Investor 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, Sandbridge, the Company, the Placement Agents (defined below), 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 Sandbridge contained in Section 5 of this Subscription Agreement, in making its
investment or decision to invest in Sandbridge. The Investor acknowledges that certain information provided by the Company was based on projections, and such projections were prepared based on assumptions and estimates that are inherently
uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections.
g. 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 Sandbridge’s filings with the SEC. The Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, and the Investor
has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Investor has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision.
h. Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), the Investor has analyzed and considered the risks of an investment in the
Shares and 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 Sandbridge. The Investor acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.
i. In making its decision to purchase the Shares, the Investor has relied solely upon independent investigation made by the Investor.
Neither Sandbridge nor any of its affiliates have offered the Investor any tax advice relating to Investor’s investment in the Shares, or made any representations, warranties or guarantees regarding the tax consequences of Investor’s investment
in the Shares.
j. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the
Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.
k. The Investor, if not an individual, has been duly formed or incorporated and is validly existing and is in good standing under the
laws of its jurisdiction of formation or incorporation, with power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement.
l. The execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of this Subscription Agreement are within the powers of the Investor, have
been duly authorized and will not constitute or result in a breach or default under or conflict with any order, ruling or regulation of any court or other tribunal or of any governmental commission or agency, or any agreement or other
undertaking, to which the Investor is a party or by which the Investor is bound, and, if the Investor is not an individual, will not violate any provisions of the Investor’s organizational documents, including, without limitation, its
incorporation or formation papers, bylaws, indenture of trust or partnership or operating agreement, as may be applicable. The signature on this Subscription Agreement is genuine, and the signatory has been duly authorized to execute the same,
and 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.
m. 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) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, or (iii) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank. If the Investor is a financial
institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), the Investor maintains policies and procedures
reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. To the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs,
including the OFAC List. To the extent required by applicable law, the Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by the Investor and used to purchase the Shares were legally derived.
n. The Investor acknowledges that no disclosure or offering document has been provided to the Investor by Citigroup Global Markets
Inc. and BofA Securities, Inc. or any of their respective affiliates (collectively, the “Placement Agents”) in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares.
o. The Investor acknowledges that neither Placement Agent has, nor have any of their respective affiliates or any control persons,
officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing made any independent investigation with respect to Sandbridge, 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 Sandbridge.
p. The Investor acknowledges that in connection with the issue and purchase of the Shares, neither Placement Agent has acted as the
Investor’s financial advisor or fiduciary.
q. The Investor will have sufficient funds to pay the Subscription Amount and consummate the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant
to this Subscription Agreement pursuant to Section 2.
7. Registration Rights.
(a) In the event that the Shares are not registered in connection with the consummation of the Transaction,
Sandbridge agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing Date, it will file with the SEC (at its sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Shares (the “Registration Statement”), 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 earliest of (i) sixty (60) calendar days (or ninety (90) calendar days if
the SEC notifies Sandbridge that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Closing Date and (ii) five (5) business days after Sandbridge 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. Sandbridge agrees 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 (x) the third anniversary of the Closing, (y) the date on which the Investor ceases to hold any Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, and (z) 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) without restriction under Rule 144 of the Securities Act within ninety (90) days without limitation as to the
amount of such securities that may be sold, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for Sandbridge to be in compliance with the current public information
required under Rule 144(c)(i) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable). The Investor agrees to disclose its ownership to Sandbridge upon request to assist it in making the determination described above. In no event shall the Investor be identified as a
statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the SEC; provided, that if the SEC requests that the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Investor will have an opportunity to
withdraw its Shares from the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC seeks to prevent Sandbridge 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 the Shares by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, Sandbridge shall use its best efforts to ensure that the SEC determines that (1) the offering contemplated by the Registration
Statement is a bona fide secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act and (2) the Investor is not a statutory underwriter. If Sandbridge is unsuccessful in the efforts
described in the preceding sentence then Sandbridge shall cause such Registration Statement to 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 Sandbridge will register Investor’s remaining Shares that were not registered at the
earliest date permitted by the SEC and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Section 7. For as long as the Registration Statement shall remain effective pursuant to this Section 7(a), Sandbridge will use commercially reasonable
efforts to (1) qualify the Shares for listing on the Stock Exchange, and (2) update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include the Shares. For as long as the Investor holds the Shares, Sandbridge will use commercially reasonable
efforts to file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the undersigned 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Sandbridge may delay or postpone filing of such Registration Statement, and from time to time require the Investor not to sell under
the Registration Statement or suspend the use or effectiveness of any such Registration Statement, if the board of directors of Sandbridge determines in good faith that either in order for the Registration Statement to not contain a material
misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, or if such filing or use could materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of Sandbridge or would require premature disclosure of information that could
materially adversely affect Sandbridge (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, that, (I) Sandbridge shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of the Registration Statement on more than two (2) occasions or for a
period of more than sixty (60) consecutive days or more than a total of one hundred-twenty (120) calendar days, in each case in any three hundred sixty (360) day period, and (II) Sandbridge 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. If so directed by Sandbridge, the Investor will deliver to Sandbridge or, in the Investor’s sole discretion destroy, all copies
of the prospectus covering the Shares in the Investor’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent the Investor is required to
retain a copy of such prospectus (A) in order to comply with applicable legal or regulatory requirements or (B) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a
result of automatic data back-up. Sandbridge’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 Sandbridge such information regarding the Investor, the securities of Sandbridge held by the Investor and the intended method of disposition of such Shares, which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings, as
shall be reasonably requested by Sandbridge to effect the registration of such Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Sandbridge may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in
similar situations; provided that the 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. Sandbridge shall provide to Investor a
copy of any filing that is proposed to include disclosure relating to the Investor at least five (5) business days in advance of any disclosure thereof and shall include such revisions to such proposed disclosure as Investor shall reasonably
request so as to result in disclosure that is compliant with applicable securities laws and regulations.
(b) At its expense Sandbridge shall advise the Investor within two (2) business days: (i) when a Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any effective Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information; (iii)
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; (iv) of the receipt by Sandbridge 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 (v) 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 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 Sandbridge (which notice shall not contain any material non-public
information regarding Sandbridge or the Company) of the happening of any of the foregoing or of a Suspension Event 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 undersigned 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 receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which Sandbridge 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 Sandbridge 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 Sandbridge 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. Sandbridge 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 (i) through (v) above, except for such times as Sandbridge is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a
prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, Sandbridge 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.
(c) Indemnification.
(i) Sandbridge agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the Investor, its directors, and officers,
trustees, partners, members, managers, shareholders, investment advisors, employees, and agents, and each person who controls the Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) and each affiliate of the Investor (within
the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, any attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or
investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement (“Prospectus”) or preliminary Prospectus
or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained
in any information furnished in writing to Sandbridge by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein.
(ii) The Investor agrees, severally and not jointly with any other person that is a party to the Other Subscription Agreements, to
indemnify and hold harmless Sandbridge, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls Sandbridge (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by the
Investor expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of the Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Investor upon the sale of the Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription
Agreement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(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 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 of 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 7(c) 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
above, 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 7(c) from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Each indemnifying party’s obligation to make a contribution pursuant to this Section 7 shall be individual,
not joint and several, and in no event shall the liability of Investor hereunder exceed the net proceeds received by Investor upon the sale of the Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(d) In addition, in
connection with any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of the Shares by the Investor pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to any other exemption under the Securities Act such that the Shares held by the Investor become freely tradable
and upon compliance by the Investor with the requirements of this Subscription Agreement, if requested by the Investor, Sandbridge shall cause the transfer agent for the Shares (the “Transfer Agent”) to remove any restrictive legends related to
the book entry account holding such Shares and make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry Shares sold or disposed of without restrictive legends within two (2) trading days of any such request therefor from the Investor, provided that
Sandbridge and the Transfer Agent have timely received from the Investor customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to Sandbridge and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith. Subject to receipt from the Investor
by Sandbridge and the Transfer Agent of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to Sandbridge and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith, including, if required by the Transfer Agent, an opinion of
Sandbridge’s counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Transfer Agent, to the effect that the removal of such restrictive legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act, the Investor may request that Sandbridge
remove any legend from the book entry position evidencing its Shares following the earliest of such time as such Shares (i) (x) are subject to or (y) have been or are about to be sold or transferred pursuant to an effective registration
statement, (ii) have been or are about to be sold pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) are eligible for resale under Rule 144(b)(1) or any successor provision without the requirement for Sandbridge to be in compliance with the current public
information requirement under Rule 144 and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions applicable to the sale or transfer of such Shares. If restrictive legends are no longer required for such Shares pursuant to the foregoing, Sandbridge
shall, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(f) and within two (2) trading days of any request therefor from the Investor accompanied by such customary and reasonably acceptable representations and other documentation referred to
above establishing that restrictive legends are no longer required, deliver to the Transfer Agent instructions that the Transfer Agent shall make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry Shares. Sandbridge shall be responsible for the fees
of its Transfer Agent and all DTC fees associated with such issuance.
8. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force or 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 earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its
terms, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) July 31, 2021, if the Closing has not occurred by such date, and (d) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section
3 of this Subscription Agreement are not satisfied or waived, or are not capable of being satisfied, on or prior to the Closing and, 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 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. Sandbridge shall notify the Investor of the termination of the Transaction
Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement. Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event, this Subscription Agreement shall be void and of no further force or effect and any monies paid by the Investor to Sandbridge in connection
herewith shall promptly (and in any event within one business day) following the Termination Event be returned to the Investor without any deduction for or on account of any tax, withholding, charges or set-off.
9. Trust Account Waiver. The Investor acknowledges that Sandbridge is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to
effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving Sandbridge and one or more businesses or assets. The Investor further acknowledges that, as described in Sandbridge’s prospectus relating to its initial
public offering dated September 14, 2020 (the “IPO Prospectus”) available at xxx.xxx.xxx, substantially all of Sandbridge’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of Sandbridge’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 Sandbridge, its public stockholders and the underwriters of Sandbridge’s initial public offering. Except
with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to Sandbridge to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the IPO Prospectus.
For and in consideration of Sandbridge 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 9 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 of Class A Stock currently outstanding on the date hereof,
pursuant to a validly exercised redemption right with respect to any such shares of Class A Stock, except to the extent that the Investor has otherwise agreed with Sandbridge to not exercise such redemption right.
10. Miscellaneous.
a. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Investor hereunder (other than the Shares acquired
hereunder, if any) may be transferred or assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Investor may assign its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to one or more of its affiliates (including other investment funds or accounts
managed or advised by the investment manager who acts on behalf of Investor) or, with the Sandbridge’s prior written consent, to another person, provided that no such assignment shall relieve Investor of its obligations hereunder if any such
assignee fails to perform such obligations.
b. Sandbridge may request from the Investor such additional information as Sandbridge may deem necessary to register the resale of the
Shares and evaluate the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Shares, and the Investor shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with its internal policies and
procedures; provided that Sandbridge agrees to keep any such information provided by Subscriber confidential.
c. The Investor acknowledges that Sandbridge will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and
warranties of the Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, the Investor agrees to promptly notify Sandbridge and the Placement Agents if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and
warranties set forth in Section 6 above are no longer accurate. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that each purchase by the Investor of Shares from Sandbridge will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements,
representations and warranties herein (as modified by any such notice) by the Investor as of the time of such purchase.
d. Sandbridge acknowledges and agrees that each of the Placement Agents is entitled to rely on the representations and warranties of
Sandbridge contained in this Subscription Agreement. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that each of the Placement Agents is entitled to rely on the representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement.
e. Each of the Investor and Sandbridge are entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing
clause of this Section 10(e) shall not give the Placement Agents any rights other than those expressly set forth herein and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing.
f. All of the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the
Closing.
g. This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified, waived or terminated (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 8
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.
h. 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 otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or
remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successor and assigns, and the parties hereto acknowledge that such persons so referenced are third-party beneficiaries of this Subscription Agreement for the purposes
of, and to the extent of, the rights granted to them, if any, pursuant to such provisions.
i. 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.
j. 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.
k. This Subscription Agreement may be executed by wet-ink signature or electronically, in one or more counterparts and by different
parties in separate counterparts, and delivered by facsimile or electronic mail or in .pdf, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had manually signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed
together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.
l. 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.
m. Any notice or communication required or permitted hereunder to be given to the Investor or Sandbridge shall be in writing and
either delivered personally, emailed or sent by overnight mail via a reputable overnight carrier, or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, (1) in the case of the Investor, to such address(es) or email address(es) set forth on the
signature page hereto, and shall be deemed to be given and received (i) when so delivered personally, (ii) when sent, with no mail undeliverable or other rejection or out-of-office notice, if sent by email, or (iii) three (3) business days after
the date of mailing to the address below or to such other address or addresses as the Investor may hereafter designate by notice to Sandbridge and (2) in the case of Sandbridge, to its address set forth on the cover of the Registration
Statement/Proxy Statement or to xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx.

thereunder:
☐ |
The Investor is an individual who owns not less than $5,000,000 in “Investments” either separately or jointly or as community property with his or her spouse. (See Annex A to this Investor Questionnaire for the definition of and

|
Annex A to Investor Questionnaire
INVESTMENTS
For determining whether the Investor is a “qualified purchaser,” the term “Investments” means:
1. |
Securities (as defined by Section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act), other than securities of an issuer that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Investor that owns such securities, unless the issuer of such
securities is a “public company,” a “financial company” or has more than $50,000,000 in equity, as reflected on such company’s financial statements which present such equity information as of a date within 16 months preceding the date on
which the Investor acquires an Interest. The term “public company” includes all companies that file reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or have a class of securities that are listed on a Designated Offshore
Securities Market, as defined by Regulation S of the Securities Act. The term “financial company” includes a commodity pool or an “investment company” (whether U.S. or offshore) or a company required to register as such under the
Investment Company Act but for the exclusions or exemptions provided by Sections 3(c)(1) through 3(c)(9) of the Investment Company Act;
|
2. |
Real estate held for investment purposes so long as it is not used by the prospective qualified purchaser or a close relative (generally, a sibling, spouse, former spouse, direct ancestor or descendent or a spouse of such an ancestor
or descendent) for personal or business purposes. However, real estate owned by a prospective qualified purchaser who is primarily in the real estate business is includable as an “investment” even if it is held by the owner;
|
3. |
“Commodity Interests” or “Physical Commodity” held for investment purposes by the Investor. “Commodity Interests” means commodity futures contracts, options on commodity futures contracts, and options on physical commodities traded on
or subject to the rules of (a) any contract market designated for trading such transactions under the Commodity Exchange Act, and the regulations issued thereunder and the rules thereunder, or (b) any board of trade or exchange outside
the United States, as contemplated in Part 30 of the rules under the Commodity Exchange Act. “Physical Commodity” means any physical commodity with respect to which a “Commodity Interest” is traded on a market specified in the definition
of Commodity Interests above;
|
4. |
To the extent not securities, “financial contracts” entered into for investment purposes or in connection with investments. “Financial contracts” means any arrangement that (a) takes the form of an individually negotiated contract,
agreement, or option to buy, sell, lend, swap, or repurchase, or other similar individually negotiated transaction commonly entered into by participants in the financial markets; (b) is in respect of securities, commodities, currencies,
interest or other rates, other measures of value, or any other financial or economic interest similar in purpose or function to any of the foregoing; and (c) is entered into in response to a request from a counterparty for a quotation, or
is otherwise entered into and structured to accommodate the objectives of the counterparty to such arrangement;
|
5. |
In the case of an Investor that is a commodity pool operator or an investment company excepted from registration by Section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act, any amounts payable to such Investor pursuant to a firm
agreement or similar binding commitment pursuant to which a person has agreed to acquire an interest in, or make Capital Contributions to, the Investor upon the demand of the Investor; and
|
6. |
Cash and cash equivalents (including foreign currencies) held for investment purposes. “Cash and cash equivalents” include bank deposits, certificates of deposits, bankers acceptances and similar bank instruments held for investment
purposes and the net cash surrender value of an insurance policy.
|
“Investments” do not include other assets which do not reflect experience in the financial markets, such as jewelry, art work,
antiques and other collectibles.
For purposes of determining the amount of “Investments” owned by a company, “Investments” of a parent company and its majority-owned subsidiaries may be
aggregated to meet the minimum “investment” amount requirements, regardless of which company is the prospective qualified purchaser.
For purposes of determining the amount of “Investments” owned by an individual, there may be included any “investment” held jointly or as community
property with such person’s spouse. In determining whether spouses who are making a joint investment in the Partnership are qualified purchasers, there may be included in the amount of each spouse’s “Investments” any “Investments” owned by the
other spouse (whether or not such “investments” are held jointly).
In determining whether an individual is a qualified purchaser, there may be included in the amount of such person’s “Investments” any “Investments” held
in an individual retirement account or similar account the investments of which are directed by and held for the benefit of such person.
VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
In determining the value of “Investments” in order to ascertain qualified purchaser status, the aggregate amount of “Investments” owned and invested on
a discretionary basis by such person shall be their fair market value on the most recent practicable date or their cost provided that the same method must be used for all “Investments.” However,
1. |
in the case of “Commodity Interests,” the amount of “Investments” is the value of the initial margin or option premium deposited in connection with such “Commodity Interests,” and
|
2. |
in each case, there shall be deducted from the amount of such “Investments” the following amounts:
|
(a) |
the amount of any outstanding indebtedness incurred by the prospective qualified purchaser to acquire such “Investments,” and
|
(b) in the case of a Family Company (as defined in the Investor
Questionnaire), in addition to the amounts specified in paragraph (2)(a) above, any outstanding indebtedness incurred by an owner of the Family Company to acquire the Family Company’s “Investments.”

Section 4.11 Entire
Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other
prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be assigned by any Party (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written
consent of the other Parties hereto. Any attempted assignment of this Agreement not in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.11 shall be void
Section 4.12 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any term or other
provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions
contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, the Parties shall
negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to

Agreement.

Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
Section 4.15 No
Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or
the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the subject matter hereof may only be made against the Parties and no past, present or future Affiliate, director, officer, employee,
incorporator, member, manager, partner, shareholder, agent, attorney or representative of any Party or any past, present or future Affiliate, director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner, stockholder, agent, attorney or
representative of any of the foregoing (each, a “Non-Recourse Party”) shall have any liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the negotiation hereof or its subject matter, or the
transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the rights of any Party against the other Parties, in no event shall any Party or any of its Affiliates seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement
against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, any Non–Recourse Party.
