WHEREAS, the aggregate purchase price to be paid by the Investor is equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Subscribed Notes as set forth on the signature page hereto and is referred to herein as the “Purchase Price”;

WHEREAS, substantially concurrently with the execution of this Subscription Agreement, Issuer is entering into: (i) separate subscription agreements (collectively, the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”) with certain other institutional accredited investors relating to the purchase of shares of Issuer’s Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, as such shares will exist as common stock following the Domestication (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) one or more backstop subscription agreements (the “Backstop Subscription Agreements”) on terms substantially similar to the PIPE Subscription Agreements, except that the investor party thereto (the “Backstop Investor”) has agreed to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock from Issuer to backstop certain shortfalls in the Minimum Available Acquiror Cash Amount (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction;

Subject to the last sentence of Section 2, the Investor acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of the Domestication, the Subscribed Notes that will be issued pursuant hereto shall be securities of a Delaware corporation (and not securities of a Cayman Islands exempted company). As used herein, the term “Notes” shall include the Guarantees (as defined in Exhibit A) thereof by the Guarantors (as defined in Exhibit A), unless the context requires otherwise.

The closing of the sale of the Subscribed Notes contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall occur on the closing date (the “Closing Date”) and is expected to occur substantially concurrent with the consummation of the Transaction. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Section 2 and in Section 3 below, upon delivery of written notice from (or on behalf of) Issuer to the Investor (the “Closing Notice”), that Issuer reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transaction to be satisfied or waived on an expected Closing Date that is not less than ten (10) business days from the date on which the Closing Notice is delivered to the Investor, the Investor shall deliver to Issuer, on the expected Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, the Purchase Price by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by Issuer in the Closing Notice.

Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to Issuer 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.

Investor agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Subscription Agreement and specifically relied upon by Issuer and its affiliates to induce Issuer to enter in this Subscription Agreement, and each such party further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against the Investor and its affiliates under applicable law. To the extent Investor commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Issuer or its affiliates, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against Issuer or its affiliates, the Investor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Investor’s sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit the Investor (or any person claiming on any of their behalves or in lieu of any of the Investor) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein and in the event of any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Issuer or its affiliates, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) in violation of this Subscription Agreement, Issuer shall be entitled to recover from the Investor and its affiliates, the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such action, in the event Issuer or its affiliates, as applicable, prevails in such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding any else in this Section 10, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the Investor’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of the Investor’s record or beneficial ownership of any equity interests in Issuer acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

Exhibit A

CONVERTIBLE NOTES TERM SHEET

The terms set out in this term sheet are non-binding and remain subject to due diligence and internal approval and review by legal, tax and other professional advisers. This term sheet is subject to negotiation and execution of definitive legal documentation reflecting its terms. This term sheet does not constitute or imply any offer or commitment on the part of any party.

Issuer	ACE Convergence Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), to be domesticated into a Delaware corporation in connection with its initial business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Tempo Automation Inc. (“Tempo”).
Security	The Company’s 12.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”), guaranteed by each of the Guarantors listed below (the “Guarantees”). The Notes will be issued under an indenture reflecting the terms set forth in this term sheet and other customary terms to be mutually agreed among the investors and the Company and subject to the Indenture Precedent (the “Indenture”). The Company will appoint a trustee in its reasonable discretion. The Indenture will not permit issuances of additional notes unless with the majority consent of the Noteholders.
Guarantors	Each direct or indirect current and future U.S. domestic subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the “Guarantors”).
Ranking	The Notes, the Guarantees and all obligations with respect thereto will be senior unsecured obligations and rank pari passu in right of payment with all of the Company’s and each Guarantor’s existing and future senior obligations, including up to $150 million of term loans arranged by Structural Capital and SQN Venture Partners (which will be effectively senior to the notes to the extent of the value of the collateral securing the term loans), as may be amended from time to time, or one or a series of senior debt financings which may serve to replace such arrangement after the date hereof and on or prior to the Closing Date.
Amount	Up to $75 million.
Documentation / Indenture Precedent	The Indenture will reflect standard terms for public company senior unsecured convertible note transactions that incorporate review from the accounting, trustee, DTC clearing, 144A eligibility and stock exchange perspectives, among other inputs for public company issuers following a de-SPAC merger. The Indenture will be based on and substantially conform to the Indenture Precedent, with the modifications necessary to reflect the terms set forth herein. “Indenture Precedent” means the following indenture: xxxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/Xxxxxxxx/xxxxx/xxxx/0000000000/000000000000000000/xx000000xx0-0_xxxxxxxxx.xxx
Underlying Shares	Common stock, $0.0001 par value, of the Company following its domestication into a Delaware corporation immediately prior to the Business Combination.

Term	3 Years.
Interest	9.00% cash interest and 3.00% additional PIK interest, payable semiannually in arrears. 1.00% default rate increase upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default under the Indenture.
Conversion Price (into Common Stock)	$11.50 (conversion rate 86.9565), subject to adjustment.
Conversion Settlement	Conversion may be settled in cash, stock, or any combination of cash and stock at the Company’s election, based on a 40-trading day observation period for cash or combination settlement. The default settlement method will initially be physical settlement, which may be changed by the Company with prior notice to holders.
Funding Date	The closing of the issuance and sale of the Notes will occur substantially contemporaneously with the closing of the Business Combination.
Automatic Conversion	If the Company’s common stock is trading greater than $15.00 for 20 trading days within any 30-day period after the date of issuance, the Notes will automatically convert. For the avoidance of doubt, any automatic conversion of the Notes will constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” under the Indenture.
Redemption Rights	At the end of the Term.
Voting Rights	None.
Registration Rights	The Notes will not be registered. However, following the completion of the Business Combination, the underlying shares will have the same registration rights as those provided to in the amended and restated registration rights agreement to be entered into in connection with the Business Combination (the “Resale Registration Rights Agreement”).
Anti-Dilution Adjustments	Standard customary adjustments for convertible notes sold in underwritten Rule 144A offerings for the following events: stock splits (including stock dividends) and combinations, rights offerings, distributions of property (including spin-off transactions), cash dividends, and above-market tender offers, and otherwise to be consistent with the Indenture Precedent.
Covenants/ Events of Default	Customary covenants for senior unsecured convertible notes indentures of this type consistent with the Indenture Precedent. Events of default will be customary, taking into account the Indenture Precedent.
Use of Proceeds	The Company will use the proceeds of the Notes, together with the cash proceeds from the substantially concurrent issuance of the Company’s common stock and funds from the trust account containing the proceeds of the Company’s initial public offering and from certain private placements, (i) to fund the cash consideration for the acquisition of Compass AC (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) and Whizz (as defined in the Transaction Agreement), (ii) to pay related fees and expenses and (iii) for general corporate purposes, including by means of contributions to the Company’s direct or indirect subsidiaries for such general corporate purposes.
Other Protective Rights	Most favored nations protection for securities issued by the Company or Tempo from the subscription date until Funding Date

Naming Rights	The subscription agreements for the Notes will give the Company and Tempo the right to disclose publicly the names of the investors subscribing to the Notes
Fundamental Change	In the event of a “Fundamental Change” prior to the maturity date, holders of Notes may either convert their Notes (with a customary grid-based “make-whole” adjustment to the conversion rate) or cause the Notes to be redeemed for a cash amount equal to par, plus the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, with such terms consistent with the Indenture Precedent.
Funding Condition	To be set forth in the Notes subscription agreement and be substantially the same as provided to common stock PIPE investors
Transferability; DTC Eligibility	The Notes will be freely transferrable pursuant Rule 144A. The Notes will be assigned a CUSIP that is DTC eligible, and purchases of the Notes on the Closing Date will be delivered through the facilities of DTC, in each case subject to confirmation of DTC/144A eligibility requirements as noted above. Shares issued in exchange for Notes will bear customary restrictive legends limiting their transfer in compliance with the Securities Act. These shares will otherwise be fungible with the other shares of common stock and, if permitted, DTC eligible. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the restrictive legends to be removed on a timely basis in connection with sales of the shares underlying the Notes.
Governing Law	Each of the Indenture, the Notes, the subscription agreement and the Resale Registration Rights Agreement is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of New York to the rights and duties of the parties. All disputes and controversies arising out of or in connection with the Indenture, the Notes, the subscription agreement and the Resale Registration Rights Agreement shall be resolved exclusively by the state or federal courts located in New York County in the State of New York, and each party hereto agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of said courts and agrees that venue shall lie exclusively with such courts.
Expenses	The Company shall reimburse the documented out of pocket legal fees and expenses incurred by the investors in an amount not to exceed $250,000 for all investors in the aggregate (with each investor to receive its pro rata portion), at the Closing Date.
