		RE:	Securities Subscription Agreement



 


Ladies and Gentlemen:


 


NextGen Acquisition Corp. II, a Cayman Islands
exempted company (the “Company”), is pleased to accept the offer NextGen Sponsor II LLC, a Cayman Islands exempted
company (the “Subscriber” or “you”), has made to subscribe for 11,500,000 Class B ordinary
shares (the “Shares”), US$0.0001 par value per share, of the Company (the “ Class B Shares”),
up to 1,500,000 of which are subject to forfeiture by you if the underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering of
its securities (“IPO”), if any, do not fully exercise their over-allotment option (the “Over-allotment
Option”). For the purposes of this agreement (this “Agreement”), references to “Ordinary
Shares ” are to, collectively, the Class B Shares and the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, US$0.0001 par value
per share (the “Class A Shares”). Upon certain terms and conditions, the Class B Shares will automatically convert
into Class A Shares on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. Unless the context otherwise requires, as used herein “Shares”
shall be deemed to include any Class A Shares issued upon conversion of the Class B Shares comprising the Shares. The terms on
which the Company is willing to issue the Shares to the Subscriber, and the Company and the Subscriber’s agreements regarding
such Shares, are as follows:


 


1. Subscription of Shares.


 


For the sum of US$25,000, which the Company
acknowledges receiving in cash, the Company hereby issues the Shares to the Subscriber, and the Subscriber hereby subscribes for
the Shares from the Company, subject to forfeiture, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Concurrently
with the Subscriber’s execution of this Agreement, the Company shall register the Shares in the name of the Subscriber on
the register of members of the Company. All references in this Agreement to Shares being forfeited shall take effect as surrenders
for no consideration of such shares as a matter of Cayman Islands law.


 




     


    




    

 


2. Representations, Warranties
and Agreements.


 


2.1 Subscriber’s Representations,
Warranties and Agreements. To induce the Company to issue the Shares to the Subscriber, the Subscriber hereby represents and
warrants to the Company and agrees with the Company as follows:


 


2.1.1 No Government Recommendation or Approval.
The Subscriber understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the offering
of the Shares.


 


2.1.2 No Conflicts. The execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by the Subscriber of the transactions contemplated hereby do not
violate, conflict with or constitute a default under (i) the limited liability company agreement of the Subscriber, (ii) any agreement,
indenture or instrument to which the Subscriber is a party or (iii) any law, statute, rule or regulation to which the Subscriber
is subject, or any agreement, order, judgment or decree to which the Subscriber is subject.


 


2.1.3 Formation, Registration and Authority.
The Subscriber is a Cayman Islands limited liability company formed and registered, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the Cayman Islands and possesses all requisite power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. Upon execution and delivery by you, this Agreement is a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Subscriber,
enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to
general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).


 


2.1.4 Experience, Financial Capability
and Suitability. The Subscriber is: (i) sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of
the investment in the Shares and (ii) able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of
time because the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act (as defined below) and therefore cannot be sold unless
such transaction is registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Subscriber is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its own interests.
The Subscriber must bear the economic risk of this investment until the Shares are sold pursuant to: (i) an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act or (ii) an exemption from registration available with respect to such sale. The Subscriber is
able to bear the economic risks of an investment in the Shares and to afford a complete loss of the Subscriber’s investment
in the Shares.


 


2.1.5 Access to Information; Independent
Investigation. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Subscriber has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive
answers from representatives of the Company concerning an investment in the Company, as well as the finances, operations, business
and prospects of the Company, and the opportunity to obtain additional information to verify the accuracy of all information so
obtained. In determining whether to make this investment, the Subscriber has relied solely on the Subscriber’s own knowledge
and understanding of the Company and its business based upon the Subscriber’s own due diligence investigation and the information
furnished pursuant to this paragraph. The Subscriber understands that no person has been authorized to give any information or
to make any representations which were not furnished pursuant to this Section 2 and the Subscriber has not relied on any other
representations or information in making its investment decision, whether written or oral, relating to the Company, its operations
and/or its prospects.


 






    2


    




    

 


2.1.6 Private Placement . The Subscriber
represents that it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and acknowledges the sale contemplated hereby is being made
in reliance on a private placement exemption applicable to “accredited investors” within the meaning of Section 501(a)
of Regulation D under the Securities Act or similar exemptions under state law.


 


2.1.7 Investment Purposes. The Subscriber
is purchasing and subscribing for the Shares solely for investment purposes, for the Subscriber’s own account and not for
the account or benefit of any other person, and not with a view towards the distribution or dissemination thereof. The Subscriber
did not decide to enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of
Rule 502 under the Securities Act.


 


2.1.8 Restrictions on Transfer; Shell Company.
The Subscriber understands the Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving a public offering within the meaning of
the Securities Act. The Subscriber understands the Shares will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule
144(a)(3) under the Securities Act and the Subscriber understands that any certificates or book-entries representing the Shares
will contain a legend in respect of such restrictions. If in the future the Subscriber decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise
transfer the Shares, such Shares may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only pursuant to: (i) registration under
the Securities Act, or (ii) an available exemption from registration. The Subscriber agrees that if any transfer of its Shares
or any interest therein is proposed to be made, as a condition precedent to any such transfer, the Subscriber may, at the Company’s
option, be required to deliver to the Company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company. Absent registration or an exemption,
the Subscriber agrees not to resell the Shares. The Subscriber further acknowledges that because the Company is a shell company,
Rule 144 may not be available to the Subscriber for the resale of the Shares until at least one year following consummation of
the initial business combination of the Company (which may not occur), despite technical compliance with the requirements of Rule
144 and the release or waiver of any contractual transfer restrictions.


 


2.1.9 No Governmental Consents. No
governmental, administrative or other third party consents or approvals are required, necessary or appropriate on the part of the
Subscriber in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.


 


2.2 Company’s Representations,
Warranties and Agreements. To induce the Subscriber to subscribe for the Shares, the Company hereby represents and warrants
to the Subscriber and agrees with the Subscriber as follows:


 


2.2.1 Incorporation and Corporate Power.
The Company is a Cayman Islands exempted company and is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction in which the failure to
so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, operating results or assets
of the Company. The Company possesses all requisite corporate power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.


 






    3


    




    

 


2.2.2 No Conflicts. The execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby do not
violate, conflict with or constitute a default under (i) the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended
to the date hereof (the “Memorandum and Articles”), (ii) any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the
Company is a party or (iii) any law, statute, rule or regulation to which the Company is subject, or any agreement, order, judgment
or decree to which the Company is subject.


 


2.2.3 Title to Shares. Upon issuance
in accordance with, and payment pursuant to, the terms hereof and the Memorandum and Articles, and registration in the register
of members of the Company, the Shares will be duly and validly issued as fully paid and non-assessable. Upon issuance in accordance
with, and payment pursuant to, the terms hereof and the Memorandum and Articles, the Subscriber will have or receive good title
to the Shares, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances of any kind, other than (a) transfer restrictions hereunder
and under the other agreements to which the Shares may be subject, (b) transfer restrictions under federal and state securities
laws, and (c) liens, claims or encumbrances imposed due to the actions of the Subscriber.


 


2.2.4 No Adverse Actions . There are
no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending, threatened against or affecting the Company which: (i) seek to restrain,
enjoin, prevent the consummation of or otherwise affect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) question the validity
or legality of any transactions or seeks to recover damages or to obtain other relief in connection with any transactions.


 


2.2.5 Authorization. The Class A Shares
issuable upon conversion of the Class B Shares have been hereby duly authorized and reserved for issuance upon such conversion.


 


3. Forfeiture of Shares.


 


3.1 Partial or No Exercise of the Over-allotment
Option. In the event the Over-allotment Option granted to the underwriters of the IPO is not exercised in full, the Subscriber
acknowledges and agrees that it (or, if applicable, it and any transferees of Shares) shall forfeit at the time such Over-allotment
Option expires (or earlier if the underwriters of the IPO waive their ability to exercise such Over-allotment Option) any and all
rights to such number of Shares (up to an aggregate of 1,500,000 Shares and pro rata based upon the percentage of the Over-allotment
Option exercised) such that immediately following such forfeiture, the number of Shares will equal 20% of the issued and outstanding
Ordinary Shares immediately following the IPO (in each case, not including Class A Shares issuable upon exercise of ay warrants).
Such forfeiture shall take effect as a surrender for no consideration as a matter of Cayman Islands law, and shall occur upon the
expiration of the Over-allotment Option.


 




    4


    




    

 


3.2 Termination of Rights as Shareholder.
If any of the Shares are forfeited in accordance with this Section 3, then after such time the Subscriber (or successor in interest),
shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such forfeited Shares, and the Company shall take such action as is appropriate
to cancel such forfeited Shares.


 


3.3 Share Certificates. In the event
an adjustment to the Original Certificate, if any, is required pursuant to this Section 3, then the Subscriber shall return such
Original Certificate to the Company or its designated agent as soon as practicable upon its receipt of notice from the Company
advising the Subscriber of such adjustment, following which a new certificate (the “New Certificate”), if any,
shall be issued in such amount representing the adjusted number of Shares held by the Subscriber. The New Certificate, if any,
shall be returned to the Subscriber as soon as practicable. Any such adjustment for any uncertificated securities held by the Subscriber
shall be made in book-entry form or the register of members of the Company (as applicable).


 


4. Waiver of Liquidation Distributions; Redemption Rights.
In connection with the Shares purchased and subscribed for pursuant to this Agreement, the Subscriber hereby waives any and all
right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distributions by the Company from the trust account which will be established
for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders and into which substantially all of the proceeds of the IPO will be
deposited (the “Trust Account”), in the event of a liquidation of the Company upon the Company’s failure
to timely complete an initial business combination. For purposes of clarity, in the event the Subscriber purchases securities in
the IPO or in the aftermarket, any Class A Shares so purchased and subscribed for shall be eligible to receive any liquidating
distributions by the Company. However, in no event will the Subscriber have the right to redeem any shares of Ordinary Shares held
by it into funds held in the Trust Account upon the successful completion of an initial business combination.


 


5. Restrictions on Transfer.


 


5.1 Securities Law Restrictions.
In addition to any restrictions to be contained in that certain letter agreement (commonly known as an “Insider Letter”)
dated on or prior to the closing of the IPO by and among the Subscriber, the Company and the other parties thereto, the Subscriber
agrees not to sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Shares unless, prior thereto (a)
a registration statement on the appropriate form under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws with respect to
the Shares proposed to be transferred shall then be effective or (b) the Company has received, if requested by the Company, an
opinion from counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such registration is not required because such transaction is
exempt from registration under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder
and with all applicable state securities laws.


 


5.2 Lock-up. The Subscriber acknowledges
that the Shares will be subject to lock- up provisions (the “Lock-up”) contained in the Insider Letter. Pursuant
to the Insider Letter, the Subscriber will agree (subject to certain customary exceptions) not to sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate
or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Shares until the earlier to occur of: (a) one year after the completion of the Company’s
initial business combination, (b) if the last sale price of the Class A Shares equals or exceeds US$12.00 per share (as adjusted
for share splits, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20
trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Company’s initial business combination
and (c) the date on which the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction
after the Company’s initial business combination that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right
to exchange their Shares for cash, securities or other property.


 






    5


    




    

 


5.3 Restrictive Legends. Any certificates
representing the Shares shall have endorsed thereon legends substantially as follows:


 


“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER THE
SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS WHICH, IN THE
OPINION OF COUNSEL (IF THE COMPANY SO REQUESTS), IS AVAILABLE.”


 


“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A LOCKUP AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED DURING THE TERM OF
THE LOCKUP.”


 


5.4 Additional Shares or Substituted
Securities. In the event of the declaration of a share capitalization, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable
in a form other than Ordinary Shares, a spin-off, a share sub-division, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or
a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted
or additional securities or other property which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any Shares subject
to this Section 5 or into which such Shares thereby become convertible shall immediately be subject to this Section 5 and Section
3. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class
of Ordinary Shares subject to this Section 5 and Section 3.


 


5.5 Registration Rights. The Subscriber
acknowledges that the Shares are being purchased and subscribed for pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act and will become freely tradable only after certain conditions are met or they are registered pursuant to
a registration rights agreement to be entered into with the Company prior to the closing of the IPO (the “Registration
Rights Agreement”).


 


6. Other Agreements.


 


6.1 Further Assurances. The Subscriber
agrees to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent
of this Agreement.


 




    6


    




    

 


6.2 Notices. All notices, statements
or other documents which are required or contemplated by this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered (i) personally or sent
by first class registered or certified mail, overnight courier service or facsimile or electronic transmission to the address designated
in writing, (ii) by facsimile to the number most recently provided to such party or such other address or fax number as may be
designated in writing by such party, or (iii) by electronic mail, to the electronic mail address most recently provided to such
party or such other electronic mail address as may be designated in writing by such party. Any notice or other communication so
transmitted shall be deemed to have been given on the day of delivery, if delivered personally, on the business day following receipt
of written confirmation, if sent by facsimile or electronic transmission, one (1) business day after delivery to an overnight courier
service or five (5) days after mailing if sent by mail.


 


6.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement,
together with that certain Insider Letter to be entered into between the Subscriber and the Company and the Registration Rights
Agreement, each substantially in the form to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, embodies the entire agreement
and understanding between the Subscriber and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral
or written agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. No statement, representation, warranty, covenant
or agreement of any kind not expressly set forth in this Agreement shall affect, or be used to interpret, change or restrict, the
express terms and provisions of this Agreement.


 


6.4 Modifications and Amendments.
The terms and provisions of this Agreement may be modified or amended only by written agreement executed by all parties hereto.


 


6.5 Waivers and Consents. The terms
and provisions of this Agreement may be waived, or consent for the departure therefrom granted, only by written document executed
by the party entitled to the benefits of such terms or provisions. 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 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.


 


6.6 Assignment. The rights and obligations
under this Agreement may not be assigned by either party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party.


 


6.7 Benefit. All statements, representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall be binding on the parties hereto and shall inure to the benefit of
the respective successors and permitted assigns of each party hereto. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create any
rights or obligations except among the parties hereto, and no person or entity shall be regarded as a third-party beneficiary of
this Agreement.


 


6.8 Governing Law. This Agreement
and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of New York
applicable to contracts wholly performed within the borders of such state.


 






    7


    




    

 


6.9 Severability. In the event that
any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any provision, or any portion thereof, contained in this Agreement shall
be unreasonable or unenforceable in any respect, then such provision shall be deemed limited to the extent that such court deems
it reasonable and enforceable, and as so limited shall remain in full force and effect. In the event that such court shall deem
any such provision, or portion thereof, wholly unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain
in full force and effect.


 


6.10 No Waiver of Rights, Powers and
Remedies. No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this 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 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 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.


 


6.11 Survival of Representations and
Warranties. All representations and warranties made by the parties hereto in this Agreement or in any other agreement, certificate
or instrument provided for or contemplated hereby, shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and any investigations made
by or on behalf of the parties.


 


6.12 No Broker or Finder . Each of
the parties hereto represents and warrants to the other that no broker, finder or other financial consultant has acted on its behalf
in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in such a way as to create any liability on the other.
Each of the parties hereto agrees to indemnify and save the other harmless from any claim or demand for commission or other compensation
by any broker, finder, financial consultant or similar agent claiming to have been employed by or on behalf of such party and to
bear the cost of legal expenses incurred in defending against any such claim.


 


6.13 Headings and Captions. The headings
and captions of the various subdivisions of this 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.


 


6.14 Counterparts. This Agreement
may be executed in one or more counterparts, 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.


 






    8


    




    

 


6.15 Construction. The parties hereto
have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation
arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof will
arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. 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 Agreement,”
“herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to
this 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.


 


6.16 Mutual Drafting. This Agreement
is the joint product of the 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.


 


6.17 Surrender of Class B Ordinary Share.
Upon the issuance of the Share, the Subscriber hereby surrenders to the Company for cancellation and for nil consideration one
Class B ordinary share of a par value US$0.0001 standing in its name in the register of members of the Company.


 


7. Voting and Tender of Shares. The Subscriber agrees
to vote the Shares in favor of an initial business combination that the Company negotiates and submits for approval to the Company’s
shareholders and shall not seek redemption or repurchase with respect to any of the Shares in connection with an initial business
combination or any amendment to the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended, prior to an initial business
combination. Additionally, the Subscriber agrees not to tender any Shares in connection with a tender offer presented to the Company’s
shareholders in connection with an initial business combination negotiated by the Company.


 


8. Indemnification. Each party shall indemnify the other
against any loss, cost or damages (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred as a result of such party’s
breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement.
