The closing of the Subscription contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction, as provided for by the Transaction Agreement. The Closing shall occur on the closing date of, and immediately prior to, or simultaneously with, the consummation of the Transaction. Upon written notice from (or on behalf of) the Company to Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”) that the Company reasonably expects all conditions to the Transaction Closing to be satisfied on a date that is not less than five (5) business days from the date of the Closing Notice, Subscriber shall deliver to the Company, at least two (2) business day prior to the scheduled closing date specified in the Closing Notice (the “Scheduled Closing Date”), to be held in escrow until the Closing, the Purchase Price for the Securities by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company in the Closing Notice, which at the Closing will be released to the Company against delivery by the Company promptly after the Closing to Subscriber of the Securities in book-entry form (or in certificated form if indicated by Subscriber on Subscriber’s signature page hereto), free and clear of any liens or other restrictions (other than those arising under this Subscription Agreement or applicable securities laws). Not later than one (1) business day after the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Subscriber the Securities in book entry form, in the name of Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) or to a custodian designated by Subscriber, as applicable.

4.3 Subject to applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the interpretations of the Commission thereunder and any requirements of the Company’s transfer agent, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that instruments, whether certificated or uncertificated, evidencing the Securities shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.4 below) (i) following any sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144, (ii) if such Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, and in each case, Subscriber provides the Company with an undertaking to effect any sales or other transfers in accordance with the Securities Act, or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission).

4.4 Subscriber agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

4.5 Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that it will not, and will cause each person acting at Subscriber’s direction or pursuant to any understanding with Subscriber to not, directly or indirectly offer, sell, pledge, contract to sell or sell any option to purchase, or engage in hedging activities or execute any “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, in each case that result in Subscriber having a net short cash position in respect of the Securities until the Closing (or such earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with its terms). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall prohibit Subscriber from (i) any purchase of securities by Subscriber, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates in an open market transaction after the execution of this Subscription Agreement, or (ii) any sale (including the exercise of any redemption right) of securities of the Company (A) held by Subscriber, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates prior to the execution of this Subscription Agreement or (B) purchased by Subscriber, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates in an open market transaction after the execution of this Subscription Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing herein shall prohibit other entities under common management with Subscriber that have no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of Subscriber’s participation in the Transaction (including Subscriber’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act and (ii) in the case of a Subscriber that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Subscriber’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Subscriber’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 Securities covered by this Subscription Agreement.

4.6 The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to make all Securities eligible on the Direct Registration System of the Depository Trust Company so that Subscriber can move shares to respective prime broker accounts and sell without restriction.

5. Termination. Except for the provisions of Sections 5, 7, 8 and 9 and the provisions of this Agreement providing for the return of funds previously delivered in the event the Closing does not occur, all of which shall survive any termination hereunder, this Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of (i) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (ii) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto and Nauticus to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (iii) at the election of the Subscriber, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the Outside Date (as defined in the Transaction Agreement), or (iv) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 3.2 are not satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated at the Closing; provided, that, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8, 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 such breach. The Company shall notify Subscriber of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement. Upon the termination hereof in accordance with this Section 5, any monies paid by Subscriber to the Company in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) be returned in full to Subscriber by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by Subscriber.

6. Registration Rights.

6.1 The Company agrees that prior to the Closing Date , the Company will file with the Commission (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement to register under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act, the resale of all of the Registrable Securities (as defined below) on Form S-3 or Form S-1 (which in either case shall be filed pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act as a secondary-only registration statement), which shall be on Form S-3 if the Company is then eligible for such short form, or any similar or successor short form registration or, if the Company is not then eligible for such short form registration or would not be able to register for resale all of the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, on Form S-1 or any similar or successor long form registration (the “Registration Statement”). The Company will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to Subscriber for review at least two (2) business days in advance of the filing the Registration Statement, and shall advise Subscriber promptly upon the Registration Statement being declared effective by the Commission. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission 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 Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Closing Date and (ii) the fifth (5^th) business day after the date the Company is notified in writing by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, however, that the Company’s obligations to include the Registrable Securities of Subscriber in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Company held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and Subscriber shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling shareholder in similar situations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Company from including any or all of the Common Stock proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 under the Securities Act for the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Subscribers or otherwise, the Company shall use its best efforts to ensure that the Commission 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) Subscriber is not a statutory underwriter. If the Company is unsuccessful in the efforts described in the preceding sentence then (i) the Company shall cause such Registration Statement to register for resale such number of Common Stock which is equal to the maximum number of Common Stock as is permitted by the Commission and (ii) Subscriber shall have an opportunity to withdraw its Registrable Securities. In such event, the number of Common Stock to be registered for each selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the continuous effectiveness of the Registration Statement until the earliest of (x) such time as when all of Subscriber’s securities included therein cease to be Registrable Securities, (y) such time as when all of Subscriber’s Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement have actually been sold and (z) three years from the Closing Date. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the removal of all restrictive legends from any Registrable Securities being sold under the Registration Statement at the time of sale of such Registrable Securities upon the receipt from the Subscriber of such supporting documentation, if any, as requested by the Company. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, reasonably necessary to enable Subscriber to resell Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and Rule 144, qualify the Registrable Securities for listing on the applicable stock exchange and update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include Registrable Securities. “Registrable Securities” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the Securities and any other equity security issued or issuable with respect to the Securities by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event, provided, however, that such securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities at the earliest of (A) three (3) years after the Closing Date, (B) the date all Securities held by Subscriber may be sold by Subscriber without volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), (C) the date on which such securities have actually been sold by Subscriber, or (D) when such securities shall have ceased to be outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscriber shall not be required to sign any form of lock-up agreement in connection with the Registration Statement. Subscriber may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company requesting that Subscriber not receive notices from the Company otherwise required by this Section 6.1; provided, however, that Subscriber may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from Subscriber (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Company shall not deliver any such notices to Subscriber and Subscriber shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) Subscriber will notify the Company in writing at least three (3) business days in advance of each intended use of an effective Registration Statement, and if a notice of a Suspension Event (as defined below) was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 6.1) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Company will so notify Subscriber, within two (2) business days after Subscriber’s notification to the Company, by delivering to Subscriber a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide Subscriber with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event promptly following its availability.

6.2 At its expense the Company shall:

6.2.1 except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws that the Company determines to obtain in connection with such registration, continuously effective with respect to Subscriber, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until all Securities acquired by Subscriber hereunder cease to be Registrable Securities or such shorter period upon which Subscriber has notified the Company that such Registrable Securities have actually been sold, or otherwise when such Registration Statement is no longer required to be effective under this Section 6;

6.2.2 subject to an Opt-Out Notice, advise Subscriber within three (3) business days: (A) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; (B) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (C) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus included therein so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company shall not, when so advising Subscriber of such events, provide Subscriber with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company other than to the extent that providing notice to Subscriber of the occurrence of the events listed in (A) through (C) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Company;

6.2.3 use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as promptly as reasonably practicable;

6.2.4 upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 6.2.2, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly 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 Registrable Securities 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;

6.2.5 use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Common Stock issued by the Company have been listed; and

6.2.6 use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities contemplated hereby.

6.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, (i) if any information (e.g., compensation data) is not readily available and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Company’s board of directors, upon the advice of external legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements, (ii) at any time the Company is required to file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement and the Commission has not declared such amendment effective or (iii) if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event, the Company’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of external legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Company in the Registration Statement of material non-public information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Company’s board of directors, upon the advice of external legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, the Company 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 ninety (90) calendar days, in each case in any three hundred sixty (360) day period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until such Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare after the completion of the Suspension Event) 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 the Company that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Company, Subscriber will deliver to the Company or, in such Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities in such Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities shall not apply (i) to the extent such Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional 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.

6.4 The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Subscriber (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), and any of its officers, directors, agents, partners, members, stockholders, affiliates, managers, investment advisers and employees, and each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including reasonable out-of-pocket external attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 6, except insofar as and to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Company by such Subscriber expressly for use therein or such Subscriber has omitted a material fact from such information or otherwise violated the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in each case, in connection with the registration of the Common Stock; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 6 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall the Company 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 such Subscriber, (B) in connection with any failure of such person to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made available by the Company in a timely manner, (C) as a result of offers or sales effected by or on behalf of any person by means of a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that was not authorized in writing by the Company, or (D) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of such Subscriber in violation of Section 6.3 hereof. Subscriber shall notify the Company promptly of the institution of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 6 of which Subscriber becomes aware, provided that a failure by Subscriber to provide such notice shall not impact Subscriber’s right to be indemnified hereunder unless the Company is actually prejudiced thereby. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Securities by Subscriber.

6.5 Subscriber shall (severally and not jointly with any Other Subscriber) indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Company by Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 6 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In no event shall the liability of Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The Company shall notify Subscriber promptly of the institution of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 6 of which the Company becomes aware, provided that a failure by the Company to provide such notice shall not impact the Company’s right to be indemnified hereunder unless Subscriber is actually prejudiced thereby. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Securities by Subscriber.

6.6 If the indemnification provided under this Section 6 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6, 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 6 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Each indemnifying party’s obligation to make a contribution pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall be individual, not joint and several, and in no event shall the liability of Subscriber hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

7. Miscellaneous.

7.1 Further Assurances. At the Closing, the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional actions as the parties reasonably may deem to be practical and necessary in order to consummate the Subscription as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

7.1.1 Subscriber acknowledges that the Company, the Placement Agent and others will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement.

7.1.3 The Company may request from Subscriber such additional information as the Company may deem reasonably necessary to evaluate the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the Securities, and Subscriber shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly provide such information as may be reasonably requested, to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with its internal policies and procedures, provided that the Company agrees to keep confidential any such information provided by Subscriber.

7.3 Entire Agreement. This Subscription Agreement 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 (other than any confidentiality agreement entered into by the Company and Subscriber in connection with the Offering).

7.4 Modifications and Amendments. This Subscription Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by the Company, Subscriber and, if prior to the Transaction Closing, Nauticus.

7.5 Waivers and Consents. The terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement may be waived, or consent for the departure therefrom granted, only by a written document executed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver or consent is sought (and with respect to any waiver or consent by the Company prior to the Transaction Closing, Nauticus). No such waiver or consent shall be deemed to be or shall constitute a waiver or consent with respect to any other terms or provisions of this Subscription Agreement, whether or not similar. Each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it was given, and shall not constitute a continuing waiver or consent. No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Subscription Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without such notice or demand.

7.6 Assignment. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights, interests or obligations that may accrue to the Subscriber hereunder (other than the Securities acquired hereunder by Subscriber, if any, after the Closing and Subscriber’s rights under Section 6 above) may be transferred or assigned without the prior written consent of the Company, and any purported transfer or assignment without such consent shall be null and void ab initio; provided, however, Subscriber may transfer or assign its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to a controlled affiliate of Subscriber or another investment fund or account managed or advised by the same manager as Subscriber (or a related party or affiliate) that can satisfy the requirements of Section 2.1.4 and the other representations and warranties in Section 2.1, provided, further, that no such transfer or assignment without the prior express written consent of the Company shall release Subscriber of its obligations hereunder and such transferee(s) or assignee(s), as applicable, agrees in writing to be bound by the terms hereof as if it were the original Subscriber party hereto.

7.7 Benefit.

7.7.1 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. Except as expressly provided for herein, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

7.7.2 Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that (a) this Subscription Agreement is being entered into in order to induce Nauticus to execute and deliver the Transaction Agreement and without the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Subscriber hereunder, the Nauticus would not enter into the Transaction Agreement, (b) each representation, warranty, covenant and agreement of Subscriber hereunder is being made also for the benefit of the Nauticus and the Placement Agent, and (c) Nauticus may directly enforce (including by an action for specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable relief) each of the covenants and agreements of Subscriber under this Subscription Agreement.

7.7.3 Each of the parties agrees that Nauticus is an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement and Nauticus may directly enforce (including by an action for specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable relief) each of the provisions of this Agreement, as amended, modified, supplemented or waived in accordance with Sections 7.4 and 7.5, as if it were a direct party hereto. Each of the parties further agrees that the Placement Agent is a third-party beneficiary of the representations and warranties of Subscriber and the Company under this Subscription Agreement.

7.8 Governing Law. This Subscription Agreement, and any claim or cause of action hereunder based upon, arising out of or related to this Subscription Agreement (whether based on law, in equity, in contract, in tort or any other theory) or the negotiation, execution, performance or enforcement of this Subscription Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

7.9 Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereto agree to submit any matter or dispute resulting from or arising out of the execution, performance, interpretation, breach or termination of this Agreement to the exclusive jurisdiction of federal or state courts within the County of New York, State of New York (and any appellate courts thereof) (the “Specified Courts”). Each of the parties agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document in the manner set forth in Section 7.2 hereof or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable law, shall be effective service of process for any proceeding with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 7.9. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it is subject to, and hereby submits to, the personal jurisdiction of the Specified Courts for any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder and waives any objection to the laying of venue in the Specified Courts (the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, or the applicable New York state courts if the federal jurisdictional standards are not satisfied), and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

7.10 Non-Reliance and Exculpation. Subscriber acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person (including the Placement Agent, any of its respective affiliates or any of its or their control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents, and any representatives of any of the foregoing), other than the statements, representations and warranties of the Company expressly contained in Section 2.2 of this Subscription Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that neither of the Placement Agent, nor its affiliates or any of its or their respective control persons, officers, directors, employees or representatives shall have any liability to Subscriber pursuant to, arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement, the negotiation hereof or its subject matter, or the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, with respect to any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Securities or with respect to any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of this Subscription Agreement or in respect of any written or oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, as expressly provided herein, or for any actual or alleged inaccuracies, misstatements or omissions with respect to any information or materials of any kind furnished by the Company, the Placement Agent, Nauticus or any other person or entity concerning the Company or Nauticus. Subscriber further acknowledges and agrees that no Other Subscriber pursuant to Other Subscription Agreements (including the controlling persons, members, officers, directors, partners, agents, employees or other representatives of any such Other Subscriber) shall be liable to Subscriber pursuant to this Subscription Agreement for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Securities.

7.11 Severability. If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall 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. Upon such determination that any provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

7.12 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made by the parties hereto in this Subscription Agreement or in any other agreement, certificate or instrument provided for or contemplated hereby, shall survive the Closing until the expiration of any statute of limitations under applicable law.

7.13 Expenses. The Subscriber shall pay all of its own expenses in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein.

7.14 Headings and Captions. The headings and captions of the various subdivisions of this Subscription Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way modify or affect the meaning or construction of any of the terms or provisions hereof.

7.15 Counterparts. This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic mail or in .pdf), all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or any other form of electronic delivery, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

7.16 Construction. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Subscription Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Subscription Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant. All references in this Subscription Agreement to numbers of shares, per share amounts and purchase prices shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or the like occurring after the date hereof. As used in this Subscription Agreement, the term: (x) “person” shall refer to any individual, corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company or other entity or association, including any governmental or regulatory body, whether acting in an individual, fiduciary or any other capacity; and (y) “affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any specified person, any other person or group of persons acting together that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such specified person (where the term “control” (and any correlative terms) means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise). For the avoidance of doubt, any reference in this Subscription Agreement to an affiliate of the Company will include the Company’s two co-sponsors, CleanTech Sponsor I LLC and CleanTech Investments, LLC.

7.17 Mutual Drafting. This Subscription Agreement is the joint product of Subscriber and the Company and each provision hereof has been subject to the mutual consultation, negotiation and agreement of such parties and shall not be construed for or against any party hereto.

7.18 Remedies.

7.18.1 The parties agree that the irreparable damage would occur if this Subscription Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damage. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to equitable relief, including in the form of an injunction or injunctions, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Subscription Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 7.9, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in equity, including money damages. The right to specific enforcement shall include the right of the parties hereto to cause to cause the other parties hereto to cause the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Subscription Agreement. The parties hereto further agree (i) to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy, (ii) not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement pursuant to this Section 7.18 is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable law or inequitable for any reason and (iii) to waive any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

7.18.2 The parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 7.18 is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, the parties hereto would not have entered into this Subscription Agreement.

7.18.3 In any dispute arising out of or related to this Subscription Agreement, or any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated hereby, or any transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the applicable adjudicating body shall award to the prevailing party, if any, the documented and out-of-pocket costs and external attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the dispute and the enforcement of its rights under this Subscription Agreement or any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated hereby and, if the adjudicating body determines a party to be the prevailing party under circumstances where the prevailing party won on some but not all of the claims and counterclaims, the adjudicating body may award the prevailing party an appropriate percentage of the documented out-of-pocket costs and external attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the adjudication and the enforcement of its rights under this Subscription Agreement or any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated hereby or thereby.

8. Disclosure.

8.1 The Company shall, by 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on the first (1^st) business day immediately following the date of this Subscription Agreement file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Commission (the time of such filing, “Disclosure Time”) disclosing and describing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and the Merger, and a form of this Subscription Agreement will be filed with the Commission as an exhibit thereto. From and after the Disclosure Time, the Company represents to Subscriber that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to Subscriber by the Company, Nauticus or any of their officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement and the Transaction Agreement, and Subscriber shall no longer be subject to any confidentiality or similar obligations under any current agreement, whether written or oral with Company, Placement Agents or any of their affiliates, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

8.2 Notwithstanding anything in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of Subscriber or any of its affiliates, or include the name of Subscriber or any of its affiliates in any press release or in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or trading market, without the prior written consent of Subscriber, except (i) as required by the federal securities law in connection with the Registration Statement, (ii) in a press release or marketing materials of the Company in connection with the Merger to the extent any such disclosure is substantially equivalent to the information that has previously been made public without breach of the obligation under this Section 8.2 and (iii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law, at the request of the Staff of the Commission or regulatory agency or under the regulations of Nasdaq, in which case the Company shall provide Subscriber with prior written notice of such disclosure, and shall reasonably consult with the Subscriber regarding such disclosure.

9. Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber acknowledges that the Company is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses or assets. Subscriber further acknowledges that, as described in the Prospectus available at xxx.xxx.xxx, substantially all of the Company’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of Company’s initial public offering (including overallotment securities sold by the Company’s underwriter thereafter) and private placements of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of Company, its public shareholders and the underwriters of Company’s initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to Company to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of the Company entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber, on behalf of itself and its representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind they now have or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom to the Company’s public stockholders, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account for any claims in connection with, as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9 (x) shall serve to limit or prohibit Subscriber’s right to pursue a claim against Company for legal relief against assets held outside the Trust Account (other than distributions to the Company’s public stockholders), for specific performance or other equitable relief, (y) shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that Subscriber may have in the future against Company’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account (other than distributions to the Company’s public stockholders) and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds) or (z) shall be deemed to limit any Subscriber’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of such Subscriber’s record or beneficial ownership of securities of the Company acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, including but not limited to any redemption right with respect to any such securities of the Company.

FOR CANADIAN RESIDENT SUBSCRIBERS ONLY

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

WHEREAS, in connection with the Transaction, certain other institutional “accredited investors” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) or “qualified institutional buyers” (within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act) (the “Other Subscribers”) or “accredited investors” (within the meaning of National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions of the Canadian Securities Administrators (“NI 45-106”)) are entering into separate subscription agreements with the Company (“Other Subscription Agreements”) substantially similar to this Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which such Other Subscribers, and Subscriber pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, have agreed, severally and not jointly, to purchase on the closing date of the Transaction (the “Closing Date”) an aggregate of up to 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock at the Per Share Price (the “Offering”).

2. Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

2.1.4 The Subscriber (i) is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act), in each case, satisfying the applicable requirements set forth on Schedule A, and is an “accredited investor” pursuant to Section 2.3 of NI 45-106 or, if a resident in Ontario, Section 73.3(2) of the Securities Act (Ontario), as set out in Schedule B attached hereto and is a “permitted client” (as defined in National Instrument 31-103 – Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations) as set out in Schedule C attached hereto; (ii) is acquiring all of the Securities only for his, her or its own account and not for the account of others, or if the Subscriber, or the investment advisor to which Subscriber has delegated decision making authority over its investments, is subscribing for the Securities as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investment accounts, the Subscriber 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 acquiring the Securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act or the laws of any jurisdiction, including, for greater certainty, as applicable, the securities laws, regulations and rules, and the blanket rulings and policies and written interpretations of, and multilateral or national instruments adopted by, the securities regulatory authorities of the Canadian jurisdiction in which a Subscriber is resident or is subject to, as the context may require, (“Canadian Securities Laws”) (and shall provide the requested information set forth on Schedule A). If the Subscriber is an entity, the Subscriber is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities. If a Subscriber is subscribing as agent or trustee for a principal (beneficial Subscriber) (a “Disclosed Principal”) and not purchasing as trustee or agent for accounts fully managed by it), it has disclosed the name of the Disclosed Principal to the Company and acknowledges that the Company may be required by law to disclose to certain regulatory authorities the identity of each Disclosed Principal for whom the Subscriber is acting. In the case of a subscription for the Securities by a Subscriber acting as trustee or agent for a fully managed account or as agent for a Disclosed Principal, the Subscriber is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and all other necessary documentation in connection with such subscription on behalf of the fully managed account or Disclosed Principal, as applicable, and this Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by or on behalf of and constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of, the fully managed account or Disclosed Principal, as applicable.

2.1.5 Subscriber understands and agrees that the Securities are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act. Subscriber understands and agrees that the Securities may not be resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by Subscriber absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Securities except (i) to the Company or a subsidiary thereof, or (ii) pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act that is available and that any book entries representing the Securities shall contain a restrictive legend to such effect. Subscriber understands and agrees that the Securities will not be eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act. Subscriber understands and agrees that the Securities will be subject to the foregoing transfer restrictions and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, Subscriber may not be able to readily resell the Securities and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time. Subscriber understands that it has been advised to consult legal, tax and accounting counsel prior to making any offer, resale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of any of the Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subscriber will consult its own legal advisors with respect to trading in the Securities when issued and with respect to the resale restrictions imposed by the Canadian Securities Laws of the jurisdiction in which the Subscriber resides and other applicable securities laws, and acknowledges and agrees that no representation has been made respecting the applicable hold periods imposed by the Canadian Securities Laws or other resale restrictions applicable to such securities which restrict the ability of the Subscriber (or others for whom it is contracting hereunder) to resell such securities, that the Subscriber (or others for whom it is contracting hereunder) is solely responsible to find out what these restrictions are and the Subscriber is solely responsible (and the Company is not in any way responsible) for compliance with applicable resale restrictions and the Subscriber is aware that it (or disclosed principals for whom it is contracting hereunder) may not be able to resell such securities except in accordance with limited exemptions under the Canadian Securities Laws and other applicable securities laws. The Subscriber further understands and acknowledges that (i) the Company is not a reporting issuer in any province or territory in Canada and its securities are not listed on any stock exchange in Canada and there is currently no public market for the Securities in Canada; and (ii) the Company currently has no intention of becoming a reporting issuer in Canada and the Company is not obligated to file and has no present intention of filing a prospectus with any securities regulatory authority in Canada to qualify the resale of the Securities to the public, or listing the Company’s securities on any stock exchange in Canada and thus the applicable restricted period or hold period may not commence and the Securities may be subject to an unlimited hold period or restricted period in Canada and in that case may only be sold pursuant to limited exemptions under applicable securities legislation.

2.1.8 In making its decision to purchase the Securities, Subscriber represents that it has relied solely upon independent investigation made by Subscriber and the representations, warranties, and covenants of the Company contained in this Subscription Agreement. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber has received and has had an adequate opportunity to review, such financial and other information as Subscriber deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Securities and made its own assessment and is satisfied concerning the relevant tax and other economic considerations relevant to Subscriber’s investment in the Securities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the documents provided to Subscriber by the Company, including (collectively, the “Disclosure Documents”): (i) the final prospectus of the Company, dated as of July 16, 2021 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) (File Nos. 333-256578) (the “Prospectus”), (ii) each SEC Document (as defined below) through the date of this Subscription Agreement, (iii) the Transaction Agreement, a copy of which will be filed by the Company with the Commission and (iv) the investor presentation by the Company and Nauticus (the “Investor Presentation”), a copy of which will be furnished by the Company to the Commission and to any Canadian securities regulatory authority as may be required under Canadian Securities Laws. Subscriber represents and agrees that Subscriber and its professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask the Company’s management questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as Subscriber and its professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Securities. The Subscriber further acknowledges that the information contained in the Disclosure Documents is subject to change, and that any changes to the information contained in the Disclosure Documents, including any changes based on updated information or changes in terms of the Transaction, shall in no way affect Subscriber’s obligation to purchase the Securities hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein, and that, in purchasing the Securities, Subscriber is not relying upon any projections contained in the Investor Presentation. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that (i) it has not relied on any statements or other information provided by Coastal Equities, Inc. (the “Placement Agent”) or any of the Placement Agent’s affiliates with respect to its decision to invest in the Securities, including information related to the Company, Nauticus, the Securities and the offer and sale of the Securities, (ii) neither the Placement Agent, nor any of the Placement Agent’s affiliates has provided Subscriber with any information or advice with respect to the Securities, nor is such information or advice necessary or desired, and (iii) neither the Placement Agent nor any of the Placement Agent’s affiliates has prepared any disclosure or offering document in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities. Neither the Placement Agent nor any of the Placement Agent’s affiliates has made or makes any representation as to the Company, Nauticus or the quality or value of the Securities and the Placement Agent and its affiliates may have acquired non-public information with respect to the Company which Subscriber agrees need not be provided to it. Subscriber agrees the Placement Agent shall not be liable to Subscriber for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with Subscriber’s purchase of the Securities. The Subscriber acknowledges that, except for the Investor Presentation, it has not received or been provided with, nor has it requested, nor does it have any need to receive, any offering memorandum (within the meaning of Canadian Securities Laws), any prospectus, sales or advertising literature, or any other document describing or purporting to describe the Company, Nauticus, their business and affairs or the transactions contemplated herein (including the Transaction) which has been prepared for delivery to, and review by , prospective investors in order to assist them in making an investment decision in respect of the Securities.

2.1.19 The funds representing the Subscriber’s Purchase Price which will be advanced by the Subscriber to the Company hereunder, as applicable, will not represent proceeds of crime for the purposes of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) (the “PCMLTFA”) and the Subscriber acknowledges that the Company may in the future be required by law to disclose the Subscriber’s name and other information relating to this Subscription Agreement and the Subscriber’s subscription hereunder, on a confidential basis, pursuant to the PCMLTFA.
