Investor shall be a Permitted Transferee pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the Transferred Sponsor Shares.
(c) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Sponsor does not, and the performance by the Sponsor of its obligations hereunder will not, (i) conflict with or result in a violation of the organizational documents of the Sponsor or (ii) require any consent or approval that has not been given or other action that has not been taken by any person, in each case to the extent such consent, approval or other action would prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by the Sponsor of its obligations under this Agreement. The Sponsor has full right and power to enter into this Agreement.
(d) The Sponsor is not engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Exchange Act, of any securities of CAH. The Sponsor shall not engage in any such distribution until after the Closing.

Investor has full right and power to enter into this Agreement.

Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Transferred Sponsor Shares will be subject to these securities law transfer restrictions and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, Investor may not be able to readily resell the Transferred Sponsor Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Transferred Sponsor Shares for an indefinite period of time. Investor understands that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of any of the Transferred Sponsor Shares.
(e) In making its decision to invest in the Transferred Sponsor Shares, Investor has relied solely upon independent investigation made by Investor and the Sponsor’s representations, warranties and covenants contained herein. Investor has not relied on any statements or other information provided by anyone other than the Sponsor concerning LumiraDx, CAH, the Merger, the Transferred Sponsor Shares or the offer of the Transferred Sponsor Shares. Investor acknowledges and agrees that Investor has received and has had an adequate opportunity to review such financial and other information as Investor deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Transferred Sponsor Shares, including with respect to LumiraDx, CAH and the Merger, and made its own assessment and is satisfied concerning the relevant tax and other economic considerations relevant to Investor’s investment in the Transferred Sponsor Shares. Investor represents and agrees that Investor and Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as Investor and such undersigned’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Transferred Sponsor Shares. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed CAH’s filings with the SEC.
(f) Investor became aware of the offering of the Transferred Sponsor Shares solely by means of direct contact between Investor and the Sponsor or its representatives or affiliates.

Investor is not relying on any statements or representations of the Sponsor or any of its agents for legal, tax or investment advice with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.

(h) Investor has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Transferred Sponsor Shares and determined that the Transferred Sponsor Shares are a suitable investment for Investor and that Investor is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of Investor’s investment in the Transferred Sponsor Shares. Investor acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.
(i) Investor understands and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Transferred Sponsor Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.
(j) No broker or finder is entitled to any brokerage or finder’s fee or commission solely in connection with this Agreement.
(k) Investor is not entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to create actual or apparent trading activity in the CAH Class A Common Stock (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for CAH Class A Common Stock) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the CAH Class A Common Stock (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the CAH Class A Common Stock) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.

For and in consideration of the Sponsor entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, 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 for any reason whatsoever.
5
4.3 Public Disclosure.
