In connection with the Transactions, FLAC and New NAP are seeking commitments from interested investors to purchase, immediately following the Transactions and substantially concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination, ordinary shares in the capital of New NAP, par value EUR 0.12 per share (the “Shares”), in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Per Share Purchase Price”). Concurrently with the execution of this Subscription Agreement, FLAC and New NAP are entering into subscription agreements (the “Other Subscription Agreements” and together with this Subscription Agreement, the “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 Business Combination, inclusive of the Subscribed Shares (as defined below), an aggregate amount of up to 23,460,000 Shares, at the Per Share Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price to be paid by the Investor for the Subscribed Shares 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, the Investor, New NAP and FLAC each acknowledge and agree as follows:
The decision of the Investor to purchase the Subscribed Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement has been made by the Investor independently of any Other Investor or any other investor and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of FLAC, New NAP, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any Other Investor or any other investor or by any agent or employee of any Other Investor or any other investor, and neither the Investor nor any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Other Investor or any other investor (or any other person not party to this Agreement) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Other Subscription Agreement, and no action taken by the Investor or any Other Investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investor and Other Investors or other investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investor and Other Investors or other investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements. The Investor acknowledges that no Other Investor has acted as agent for the Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and no Other Investor will be acting as agent of the Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the Subscribed Shares or enforcing its rights under this Subscription Agreement. The Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Subscription Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Investor or any other investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The obligations of Investor under this Subscription Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other Investor or any other investor under the Other Subscription Agreements, and Investor shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Investor under this Subscription Agreement or any other investor under the Other Subscription Agreements.
1. Subscription. The Investor hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from New NAP and New NAP hereby irrevocably agrees to issue and sell to the Investor, in each case, 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 (such Shares, the “Subscribed Shares” and such subscription and issuance, the “Subscription”). The Investor acknowledges and agrees that New NAP reserves the right to accept or reject the Investor’s subscription for the Subscribed Shares for any reason or for no reason, in whole or in part, at any time prior to its acceptance, and the same shall be deemed to be accepted by New NAP only when this Subscription Agreement is signed by a duly authorized person by or on behalf of New NAP; New NAP may do so in counterpart form. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of the consummation of the Transactions, the Subscribed Shares that will be purchased by the Investor and issued by New NAP pursuant hereto shall be ordinary shares in the share capital of a Dutch public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap), provided that, if Dutch law requires the Subscription to occur prior to the Conversion in order to be able to effect the Conversion under Dutch law, Investor shall initially receive ordinary shares in the share capital of a Dutch private limited company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) that will immediately following the consummation of the Private Placement be converted into the number of ordinary shares in the share capital of a Dutch public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) required under this Subscription Agreement.

2. Closing.
(a) The closing of the Subscription contemplated hereby (the “Closing” and the date of which the Closing occurs, the “Closing Date”) shall occur on the date of, and substantially concurrently with and conditioned upon the effectiveness of, the consummation of the Business Combination, provided that the Conversion may also take place after Closing but on the Closing Date. Upon (i) satisfaction or waiver in writing of the conditions set forth in Section 3 of this Subscription Agreement and (ii) delivery of written notice from (or on behalf of) New NAP to the Investor (the “Closing Notice”), that New NAP reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transactions to be satisfied or waived on a date that is not less than ten (10) calendar days from the date on which the Closing Notice is delivered to the Investor, the Investor shall deliver to New NAP, no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, (i) the Subscription Amount for the Subscribed Shares by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by New NAP in the Closing Notice and (ii) if the Conversion takes place after Closing (but on the Closing Date), a duly executed and notarized power of attorney in favor of Dutch legal counsel to New NAP substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto in order to effect the issuance of the Subscribed Shares pursuant to a notarial deed to that effect (the “PoA”). On the Closing Date, New NAP shall (A) issue the Subscribed Shares to the Investor and cause such Subscribed Shares to be registered in book-entry form in the name of the Investor (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) or to a custodian designated by the Investor, as applicable, on New NAP’s share register or the register of New NAP’s transfer agent, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances or other restrictions (other than those arising under applicable securities laws or those created by the Investor), and (B) provide evidence to the Investor of such issuance on and as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that New NAP’s obligation to issue the Subscribed Shares to the Investor is contingent upon New NAP having received the Subscription Amount in full and, if applicable, the duly executed and notarized PoA in accordance with this Section 2. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Business Day” shall mean a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which commercial banks in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and New York, New York are open for the general transaction of business, provided that banks shall be deemed to be generally open for the general transaction of business in the event of a “shelter in place” or similar closure of physical branch locations at the direction of any governmental authority if such banks’ electronic funds transfer system (including for wire transfers) are open for use by customers on such day.
(b) In the event the closing of the Transactions does not occur within three (3) Business Days following the anticipated Closing Date identified in the Closing Notice, New NAP shall promptly (but not later than two (2) Business Days thereafter) return the Subscription Amount in full to the Investor by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account from which New NAP received the Subscription Amount, and any book entries shall be deemed cancelled. Notwithstanding such return or cancellation (i) a failure to close on the anticipated Closing Date shall not, by itself, be deemed to be a failure of any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 3 herein to be satisfied or waived on or prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) unless and until this Subscription Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8 herein, the Investor shall remain obligated (A) to redeliver funds to New NAP and, if applicable, confirm that the PoA has remained in full force and effect, in each case following New NAP’s delivery to the Investor of a new Closing Notice in accordance with this Section 2 and (B) to consummate the Closing upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3 herein.
(c) Prior to or at the Closing, the Investor shall deliver to New NAP the legal name of the person in whose name such Subscribed Shares are to be issued and a duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8, as applicable.

(r) Neither New NAP, the Company, FLAC nor any of their subsidiaries has taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, liquidation, administration or winding up or failed to pay its debts when due, nor does New NAP, the Company, FLAC or any of their subsidiaries have any knowledge or reason to believe that any of their respective creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or seek to commence an administration.
(s) New NAP, the Company and FLAC acknowledge and agree 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 provide New NAP or FLAC with any notice thereof; provided, however, that neither New NAP, FLAC, the Company or their respective counsels shall be required to take any action (or refrain from taking any action) in connection with any such pledge, other than providing any such lender of such margin agreement with an acknowledgment that, to knowledge of New NAP, FLAC or the Company, as applicable, the Shares are not subject to any contractual prohibition on pledging or lock up, the form of such acknowledgment to be subject to review and comment by New NAP and FLAC in all respects.
6. Investor Representations and Warranties. The Investor represents and warrants to New NAP and FLAC and Placement Agents that:

The Investor shall not engage in hedging transactions with regard to the Shares unless in compliance with the Securities Act. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that it has been advised to consult legal counsel and tax and accounting advisors prior to making any offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition of any of the Subscribed Shares.

13

The Investor did not become aware of this offering of the Subscribed Shares, nor were the Subscribed Shares offered to the Investor, by any other means. The Investor acknowledges that the Subscribed Shares (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) 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.

The Investor has exercised its independent judgment in evaluating its investment in the Subscribed Shares, is a sophisticated investor, experienced in investing in private equity transactions and capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities, including the Subscription and the Transactions, and the Investor has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Investor has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision.
(i) Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), the Investor has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Shares and that the Investor is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of the Investor’s investment in New NAP. The Investor acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss of investment exists.
14
(j) The Investor acknowledges that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Subscribed Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.
(k) The execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of this Subscription Agreement are within the powers of the Investor, have been duly authorized by all necessary action and do not and will not violate or constitute or result in a breach or default under or conflict with any law, order, ruling or regulation of any court or other tribunal or of any governmental commission or agency, or any agreement or other undertaking or obligation, to which the Investor is a party or by which the Investor is bound which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the legal authority of the Investor to enter into and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement, 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 of the Investor on this Subscription Agreement is genuine, and the signatory, if the Investor is an individual, has the legal competence and capacity to execute the same or, if the Investor is not an individual, the signatory has been duly authorized to execute the same, and assuming that this Subscription Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of New NAP and FLAC, 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.

Part 800.244) will acquire a substantial interest in New NAP as a result of the purchase and sale of Subscribed Shares hereunder such that a declaration to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States would be mandatory under 31 C.F.R. Part 800.401, and no foreign person will have control (as defined in 31 C.F.R.

(o) The Investor acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Placement Agents are, severally and not jointly, acting solely as placement agents in connection with the Private Placement and are not acting as underwriters or in any other capacity and are not and shall not be construed as fiduciaries for the Investor, the Company or any other person or entity in connection with the Private Placement, (b) the Placement Agents have not made and will not make any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, of any kind or character and have not provided any advice or recommendation in connection with the Private Placement, (c) the Placement Agents will have no responsibility with respect to (i) any representations, warranties or agreements made by any person or entity under or in connection with the Subscription or any of the documents furnished pursuant thereto or in connection therewith, or the execution, legality, validity or enforceability (with respect to any person) or any thereof, or (ii) the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, properties or prospects of, or any other matter concerning New NAP, FLAC, the Company, the Private Placement or the Transactions, and (d) the Placement Agents shall have no liability or obligation (including without limitation, for or with respect to any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements incurred by the Investor, the Company or any other person or entity), whether in contract, tort or otherwise, to the Investor, or to any person claiming through the Investor, in respect of the Private Placement.
(p) The Investor acknowledges that the Placement Agents may have existing or future business relationships with FLAC, the Company and/or New NAP (including, but not limited to, lending, depository, risk management, advisory and banking relationships) and will pursue actions and take steps that it deems or they deem necessary or appropriate to protect its or their interests arising therefrom without regard to the consequences for a holder of Shares, and that certain of these actions may have material and adverse consequences for a holder of Shares. The Investor acknowledges that the Placement Agents and/or their respective affiliates and affiliates of FLAC and/or New NAP may now or in the future own securities of FLAC and/or New NAP and may purchase securities in connection with the Transaction.
16
(q) The Investor acknowledges that none of the Placement Agents has acted as the Investor’s financial advisor, tax advisor or fiduciary in connection with the Subscription and this Subscription Agreement. The Investor is aware that Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Jefferies LLC and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Company, L.L.C. are acting as New NAP’s financial advisors and equity capital markets advisors and placement agents for the Private Placement, and SVB Securities LLC is also acting as New NAP’s placement agent for the Private Placement. The Investor is aware that SVB Securities LLC has been separately engaged as the Company’s financial and capital markets advisor in connection with the Transactions. The Investor acknowledges that none of the Placement Agents has provided the Investor with any information or advice with respect to the Subscribed Shares and that no such information or advice is necessary or desired. None of the Placement Agents has made or makes any representation as to the Company, New NAP or FLAC or the quality or value of the Subscribed Shares. The Placement Agents may have acquired non-public information with respect to the Company, New NAP or FLAC, which the Investor agrees need not be provided to it. The Investor further acknowledges that none of the Placement Agents have made any independent investigation with respect to the Company, New NAP, FLAC or the Subscribed Shares or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of any information supplied to any Placement Agent by the Company, New NAP or FLAC. The Placement Agents have not made and do not make any representations express or implied as to FLAC, New NAP, the Company, the Company’s credit quality, or the quality or value of the Subscribed Shares.
(r) The Investor acknowledges that it has not relied on the Placement Agents in connection with its determination as to the legality of its acquisition of the Shares or as to the other matters referred to herein and the Investor has not relied on any investigation that the Placement Agent, any of their affiliates or any person acting on their behalf have conducted with respect to the Shares, FLAC, New NAP or the Company. The Investor further acknowledges that it has not relied on any information contained in any research reports prepared by the Placement Agents or any of their affiliates.
(s) The Investor has or has commitments to have and, at the Closing, will have, sufficient funds to pay the Subscription Amount and consummate the Subscription pursuant to Section 2 herein.
(t) The Investor does not have, as of the date of this Subscription Agreement, and, since the date the Investor was made aware of the Transactions, such Investor has not entered into, any “put equivalent position” as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act or short sale positions with respect to the securities of New NAP or FLAC, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Investor is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of the Investor’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of the Investor’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Subscribed Shares covered by this Subscription Agreement.
(u) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Investor acknowledges and agrees that, subsequent to the date of this Subscription Agreement and prior to the Closing, New NAP and FLAC may enter into one or more additional subscription agreements with other investors with terms and conditions that are not more advantageous to the investor thereunder than the terms and conditions set forth in this Subscription Agreement (other than terms particular to the regulatory requirements of such other investor or its affiliates or related funds that are mutual funds), and entry into such subscription agreements may increase the aggregate amount of Shares being subscribed for in the private placement contemplated by this Subscription Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, such additional subscription agreements shall reflect not less than the same Per Share Purchase Price and shall, once executed, constitute Other Subscription Agreements for purposes of this Subscription Agreement, mutatis mutandis.
17
(v) The Investor acknowledges having received and read the Risk Factors (as defined below) in the document titled “Project Yankee – PIPE Risk Factors” located in the folder titled “PIPE Deck + Risk Factors” of the virtual data room related to the Private Placement (the “Risk Factors”).
7. Registration Rights.
(a) Subject to Sections 7(b) and 7(c) herein, New NAP agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Date”), it will file with the SEC (at New NAP’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Subscribed Shares (the “Registration Statement”), and New NAP shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) sixty (60) calendar days (or ninety (90) calendar days if the SEC notifies New NAP that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the earlier of (a) the Filing Date and (b) the initial filing date of the Registration Statement and (ii) five (5) Business Days after New NAP 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 (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”); provided, that if such date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the SEC is closed for business, the Effectiveness Date shall be extended to the next Business Day on which the SEC is open for business. New NAP will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide a draft of the Registration Statement to the Investor for review at least two (2) Business Days in advance of the filing of the Registration Statement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall New NAP be required to delay or postpone the filing of such Registration Statement as a result of or in connection with the Investor’s review. Any failure by New NAP to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve New NAP of its obligations to file a Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 7. Subject to Section 7(b) of this Subscription Agreement, New NAP agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement, or another shelf registration statement that includes the Subscribed Shares to be sold pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, to remain effective until the earliest of (x) the fourth anniversary of the Closing, (y) the date on which the Investor ceases to hold any Subscribed Shares and (z) the first date on which the Investor is able to sell all of its Subscribed Shares (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 within ninety (90) calendar days without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such securities that may be sold and without the requirement for New NAP to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(i) (or Rule 144(i)(2), as applicable). The Investor agrees to disclose its ownership to New NAP upon its reasonable written 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; provided, that if the SEC requires that the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Investor will have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, to either (i) have the opportunity to withdraw its Subscribed Shares from the Registration Statement or (ii) to be included as such in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents New NAP from including any or all of the Subscribed 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 Subscribed Shares by the applicable shareholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Subscribed Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Subscribed Shares as is permitted by the SEC. In such event, the number of Shares to be registered for each selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional Shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, New NAP shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement (such amendment or new Registration Statement shall also be deemed to be a “Registration Statement” hereunder) to register such additional Shares and cause such Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the filing of such Registration Statement (the “Additional Effectiveness Date”); provided, that the Additional Effectiveness Date shall be extended to sixty (60) calendar days after the filing of such Registration Statement if such Registration Statement is reviewed by, and comments thereto are provided from, the SEC; provided, further New NAP shall have such Registration Statement declared effective within five (5) Business Days after the date New NAP is notified in writing by the SEC that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. For as long as the Registration Statement shall remain effective pursuant to this Section 7(a), New NAP will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) qualify the Subscribed Shares for listing on the Stock Exchange and (ii) update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include the Subscribed Shares. For as long as the Investor holds the Subscribed Shares, New NAP shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the Investor to resell the Subscribed Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 (when Rule 144 becomes available to the Investor), as applicable, including providing legal opinions or other documents or instructions required by New NAP’s transfer agent.
18
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, New NAP 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 New NAP reasonably determines in good faith upon the advice of counsel that in order for the Registration Statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a periodic report under the Exchange Act, or if such filing or use would materially adversely affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of New NAP or would require premature disclosure of information that could materially adversely affect New NAP and New NAP has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that (i) New NAP may not delay the filing or suspend the use or effectiveness of the Registration Statement for a period of more than forty five (45) consecutive calendar days or more than a total of ninety (90) calendar days, in each case during any 12-month period and (ii) New NAP shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such Registration Statement available for the sale by the Investor of Subscribed Shares as soon as practicable thereafter. If so directed by New NAP, the Investor will deliver to New NAP or, in the Investor’s sole discretion, destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares in the Investor’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares shall not apply (A) to the extent the Investor is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (x) in order to comply with applicable legal or regulatory requirements or (y) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (B) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.
19
(c) New NAP’s obligations to include the Subscribed 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 New NAP such reasonable information regarding the Investor, the securities of New NAP held by the Investor and the intended method of disposition of such Subscribed Shares, which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings, as shall be reasonably requested in writing by New NAP to effect the registration of such Subscribed Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as New NAP may reasonably request that are customary of a selling shareholder in similar situations.
(d) New NAP shall use commercially reasonable efforts, if requested by the Investor, to (i) cause the removal of any restrictive legend related to compliance with the federal securities laws set forth on the Subscribed Shares, (ii) cause its legal counsel to deliver an opinion, if necessary or otherwise required by the transfer agent, to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under subclause (i) to the effect that removal of such legends in such circumstances may be effected in compliance under the Securities Act and (iii) issue Subscribed Shares without any such legend in certificated or book-entry form or by electronic delivery through The Depository Trust Company, at the Investor’s option, as promptly as reasonably practicable following such request, if the Investor has sold or transferred, or proposes to sell or transfer within five (5) Business Days of such request, Subscribed Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or in compliance with Rule 144 and (A) the Subscribed Shares are registered for resale under the Securities Act or (B) the Subscribed Shares may be sold by the Investor under Rule 144. New NAP shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the removal of any such legend as promptly as reasonably practicable following receipt of the Investor’s request, provided that the Investor has provided such customary representations and other documentation in connection therewith, including an opinion of counsel (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be internal counsel), in a form reasonably acceptable to New NAP, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Subscribed Shares may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act (provided no such opinion of counsel shall be required in connection with a sale in accordance with Rule 144 or pursuant to a Registration Statement).
20
(e) At its expense, New NAP 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 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 New NAP of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Subscribed 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 New NAP (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding New NAP) of the occurrence of any of the events in clauses (i)-(v) of the preceding sentence 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 Investor agrees that it will promptly discontinue offers and sales of the Subscribed Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until the Investor receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which New NAP 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 New NAP that it may resume such offers and sales, and (B) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by New NAP, except (1) for disclosure to the Investor’s employees, agents and professional advisers who need to know such information and are obligated to keep it confidential, (2) 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 (3) as required by applicable law or subpoena. New NAP 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 of the events in clauses (i)-(v) of the first sentence of this Section 7(e), except for such times as New NAP is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, New NAP 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 a report filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act if the Registration Statement permits forward incorporation by reference), or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Subscribed 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.
(f) For purposes of this Section 7, (i) “Subscribed Shares” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the Subscribed Shares acquired by the Investor pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and any other equity security issued or issuable with respect to such Subscribed Shares by way of stock split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event, and (ii) “Investor” shall include any affiliate of the undersigned Investor to which the rights under this Section 7 have been duly assigned.

(i) New NAP agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the Investor, its directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person who controls the Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of 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 out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable and documented outside attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) (“Losses”) caused by or based upon 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 New NAP by or on behalf of the Investor, regarding the Investor, expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 7(g) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of New NAP (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall New NAP be liable for any Losses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon a violation which occurs (A) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by the Investor regarding the Investor, (B) in connection with any failure of such person to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made available by New NAP in a timely manner or (C) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of the Investor in violation of Section 7(e) herein after having received notice as set forth in Section 7(e).
(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 New NAP, its directors, officers, employees and agents and each person who controls New NAP (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) against any Losses arising out of or that are based upon 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, or alleged untrue statement or omission, is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by the Investor, regarding the Investor, expressly for use in the Registration Statement or a Prospectus; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 7(g)(ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Investor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In no event shall the liability of such Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Investor upon the sale of the Subscribed Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
22
(iii) Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein (the “Indemnified Party”) shall (A) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party (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 or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not actually and materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party) and (B) unless in such Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party may exist with respect to such claim, permit the 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 is not entitled to or 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), which settlement shall not include a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such Indemnified Party, and which settlement shall include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnifying Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
(iv) The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any officer, director, employee, agent, affiliate or controlling person of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.
(v) New NAP shall notify the Investor promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by Section 7(g)(ii) herein of which New NAP receives notice. The Investor shall notify New NAP promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by Section 7(g)(i) herein of which the Investor is aware.
8. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of New NAP, FLAC and the Investor hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of New NAP, FLAC or the Investor in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of (i) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms, (ii) upon the mutual written agreement of New NAP, FLAC and the Investor to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (iii) sixty (60) days after the Termination Date (as defined in the Transaction Agreement as in effect as of the date hereof), if the Closing has not occurred by such date or (iv) at the election of the Investor, if there has occurred a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of New NAP or FLAC set forth in this Subscription Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of New NAP or FLAC shall have become untrue, in either case, such that the conditions set forth in Section 3(a) and 3(c) of this Subscription Agreement are not satisfied or waived (in writing by the person who has the authority to make such waiver) 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 in clauses (i) through (iv), collectively, “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 reasonable and documented losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful breach. New NAP 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 effect and any monies paid by the Investor to New NAP in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) following the Termination Event be returned in full to the Investor by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Investor, without any deduction for or on account of any tax withholding, charges or set-off, whether or not the Transaction shall have been consummated.
23
9. Trust Account Waiver. The Investor acknowledges that FLAC is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving FLAC and one or more businesses or assets. The Investor further acknowledges that, as described in FLAC’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated December 8, 2020 (the “IPO Prospectus”) available at xxx.xxx.xxx, substantially all of FLAC’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of FLAC’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 FLAC, its public shareholders and the underwriters of FLAC’s initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to FLAC to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash and other assets in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the IPO Prospectus. For and in consideration of New NAP and FLAC 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 as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account for such a claim; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9 shall (x) serve to limit or prohibit the Investor’s right to pursue a claim against FLAC for legal relief against assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief, (y) serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Investor may have in the future against FLAC’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds), or (z) 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 FLAC’s Class A Ordinary Shares currently outstanding on the date hereof, pursuant to a validly exercised redemption right with respect to any such Class A Ordinary Shares, except to the extent that the Investor has otherwise agreed in writing with FLAC 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 Subscribed Shares acquired hereunder, if any) may be transferred or assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investor may assign its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement (i) to a fund or account managed by the Investor or the same investment manager as the Investor or an affiliate thereof, (ii) at any time to one or more of the Investor’s affiliates, (iii) to another person with the prior written consent of New NAP and FLAC (provided that such assignee(s) agree in writing to be bound by the terms hereof) and (iv) after the Closing, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more persons in connection with the transfer of Subscribed Shares by the Investor to such person, provided that the Investor complies with all applicable laws and, with respect to any transfer or assignment prior to the Closing, provides written notice of assignment and an updated Schedule B to New NAP and FLAC promptly after such assignment is effected, and such assignee or transferee agrees in writing to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein, makes the representations and warranties in Section 6 of this Subscription Agreement and completes Schedule A hereto.
24
(b) New NAP may request from the Investor such additional information as New NAP may deem necessary to register the resale of the Subscribed Shares and evaluate the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Subscribed Shares, and the Investor shall promptly provide such information as may reasonably be requested; provided, that, New NAP agrees to keep any such information provided by the Investor confidential, other than as (i) necessary to include in any Registration Statement pursuant to applicable law, or (ii) may be required by applicable law, rule, regulation or in connection with any legal proceeding or regulatory request; provided, further, that upon receipt of such additional information, New NAP shall be allowed to convey such information to each Placement Agent and such Placement Agent shall keep the information confidential, except as may be required by applicable law, rule, regulation or in connection with any legal proceeding or regulatory request. The Investor acknowledges that New NAP may file a form of this Subscription Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to a periodic report or a registration statement of New NAP.
(c) Each of FLAC, the Investor and New NAP acknowledges that New NAP, FLAC, the Company, the Placement Agents and others will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement and that the Company and the Placement Agents are third-party beneficiaries of those provisions. Each of FLAC, the Investor, and New NAP further acknowledge and agree that each of the Placement Agents is a third-party beneficiary with the right to enforce Section 5, Section 6, and Section 10 of this Subscription Agreement on its behalf and not, for the avoidance of doubt, on behalf of FLAC or New NAP, and that each of the Placement Agents will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Investor, FLAC and New NAP contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, the Investor agrees to promptly notify New NAP, FLAC, the Company and the Placement Agents in writing (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by email) if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Investor set forth in Section 6 above are no longer accurate in any material respect (other than those acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties qualified by materiality, in which case the Investor shall notify FLAC, New NAP and the Placement Agents if they are no longer accurate in any respect). The Investor acknowledges and agrees that each purchase by the Investor of Subscription Shares from New NAP 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.
25
(d) The Investor acknowledges and agrees that neither it, nor any person or entity acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with the Investor, shall, directly or indirectly, engage in any hedging activities or execute any Short Sales with respect to the securities of FLAC prior to the Closing or the earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with its terms. “Short Sales” shall include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges (other than pledges in the ordinary course of business as part of prime brokerage arrangements), forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including, without limitation, on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing in this Section 10(d) shall prohibit any entities under common management with the Investor that have no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of the Investor’s participation in the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Investor’s controlled affiliates or affiliates) from entering into any Short Sales and (ii) this Section 10(d) shall not apply to ordinary course, non-speculative hedging transactions.
(e) New NAP, FLAC, the Company and the Placement Agents are each entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and each is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party when required by law, governmental authority or self-regulatory organization to do so in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not give the Company or the Placement Agents any rights other than those expressly set forth herein and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be entitled to rely on any of the representations and warranties of New NAP and FLAC set forth in this Subscription Agreement.
(f) All of the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations.
(g) This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified, supplemented or waived or terminated (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 8 above) except by an instrument in writing signed by each of New NAP, FLAC and the Investor. No failure or delay of any of New NAP, FLAC or the Investor 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 New NAP, FLAC and the Investor hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Section 5, Section 6, Section 10(c), Section 10(d), Section 10(e), this Section 10(g) and Section 11 may not be modified, waived or terminated in a manner that is material and adverse to the Placement Agents without the written consent of the Placement Agents.
26
(h) This Subscription Agreement (including the schedules hereto) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among New NAP, FLAC and the Investor, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as set forth in Sections 10(c), 10(e) and 10(g) and the last sentence of Section 10(l) with respect to the persons specifically referenced therein, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than New NAP, FLAC and the Investor, and their respective successors and assigns, and New NAP, FLAC and the Investor 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 New NAP, FLAC and the Investor 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 in counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.
(l) New NAP, FLAC and the Investor 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 in any Chosen Court (as defined below), this being in addition to any other remedy to which New NAP, FLAC or the Investor is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. New NAP, FLAC and the Investor acknowledge and agree that the Company shall be entitled to seek to specifically enforce the Investor’s obligations to fund the Subscription Amount and the provisions of the Subscription Agreement of which the Company is an express third party beneficiary, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
(m) Except as otherwise provided elsewhere in this Subscription Agreement, each party shall pay its own expenses in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, New NAP shall pay all transfer agent fees (including, without limitation, any fees required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered by New NAP and any exercise notice delivered by the Investor), stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Shares to the Investor other than income and capital gains taxes of the Investor that may be incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
27
(n) Any notice or communication required or permitted hereunder to be given or made hereunder 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, and shall be deemed to be given and received (i) when so delivered personally (with written confirmation of receipt), (ii) when sent (with no “bounceback” or notice of non-delivery), if sent by email, or (iii) three (3) Business Days after the date of mailing, in each case, to:
