NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Subscription.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in Section 7 below, in the event that (i) the Company does not accept the subscription or (ii) the Closing Date shall not have occurred by April 18, 2022, this Subscription Agreement shall be void and of no further effect and any monies paid by the Subscriber to the Company in connection herewith shall immediately be returned to the Subscriber. The Subscriber understands that the subscribed Common Shares that will be issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement will be ordinary shares of the Company, which will be converted to a Dutch public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) at or prior to Closing (as defined below).

2. Closing.

(b) At least three (3) business days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, Subscriber shall deliver to the escrow account referenced above the Purchase Price for the Acquired Shares subscribed by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds.

If this Subscription Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing or the Closing does not occur within ten (10) business days following the Scheduled Closing Date and any funds have already been sent by Subscriber to the escrow account, then promptly (but in no event longer than one (1) business days thereafter) after such termination or failure of closing, the Company will instruct the escrow agent to promptly (but in no event longer than one (1) business days thereafter) return such funds to Subscriber. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “business day” shall mean a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York are authorized or required by law to close.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Company may suspend the use of any such Registration Statement if it determines that in order for such Registration Statement not to 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 current or annual report under the Exchange Act; and (ii) the Company shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require any Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, (A) 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 legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements, (B) at any time the Company is required to file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement and the SEC has not declared such amendment effective or (C) 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 legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Company in the Registration Statement of material 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 legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”) provided, that (I) the Company shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of the Registration Statement for a period of more than ninety (90) consecutive days or more than a total of one hundred-twenty (120) calendar days in any three hundred sixty (360)-day period, (II) in case of clause (i) above, the Company shall have a bona fide business purpose for not making such information public and (III) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such Registration Statement available for the sale by Subscriber of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter.

8. Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber acknowledges that IIAC 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 IIAC’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated November 18, 2020 (the “Prospectus”), available at xxx.xxx.xxx, substantially all of IIAC’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of IIAC’s initial public offering and a 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 IIAC, its public shareholders and the underwriters of IIAC’s initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to IIAC 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 IIAC entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber, on behalf of himself or herself and his or her representatives, hereby irrevocable waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind they have or may have in the future 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 as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8 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 IIAC 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.

9. Miscellaneous.

(b) Subscriber acknowledges that the Company, IIAC, the Placement Agents (with the Placement Agents separately as express third-party beneficiaries to this Subscription Agreement, with a right to enforce Section 3, Section 4, Section 5, Section 9, Section 10 and Section 12) and others will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement, including Schedule A hereto. Prior to the Closing, Subscriber agrees to promptly notify the Company, IIAC 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 Subscriber as set forth herein are no longer accurate in any material respect (other than those acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties qualified by materiality, in which case Subscriber shall notify the Company, IIAC and the Placement Agents if they are no longer accurate in any respect).

(d) All the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing until the expiration of any statute of limitations under applicable law.

(e) The Company and IIAC may request from Subscriber such additional information as the Company and IIAC may reasonably deem necessary to register the resale of the Acquired Shares and evaluate the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the Acquired Shares, and Subscriber shall provide such information as may be reasonably requested, to the extent readily available; provided, that the Company and IIAC agree to keep any such information provided by Subscriber confidential except (i) as necessary to include in any registration statement the Company is required to file hereunder, (ii) as required by the federal securities law or pursuant to other routine proceedings of regulatory authorities or (iii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law, at the request of the staff of the SEC or regulatory agency or under the regulations of any national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed for trading. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that if he or she does not provide the Company with such requested information, the Company may not be able to register Subscriber’s Acquired Shares for resale pursuant to Section 6 hereof.

(f) This Subscription Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 7 above) except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto, provided, however, that no modification or waiver by the Company or IIAC of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Company and IIAC (other than modifications or waivers that are solely ministerial in nature or otherwise immaterial and do not affect any economic or any other material term of this Subscription Agreement). No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties and third-party beneficiaries hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.

(g) This Subscription Agreement (including the schedule hereto) and the Lock-Up Undertaking constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
