date specified in the Closing Notice (the “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 against delivery by the Company to Subscriber of the Securities in book-entry form (or in certificated
form if indicated by the Subscriber on the Subscriber’s signature page hereto), free and clear of any liens or other restrictions
(other than those arising under the Subscription Agreement or applicable securities laws). In the event the Closing does not occur
within two (2) business days of the Closing Date, the Company shall promptly (but not later than one (1) business day thereafter)
return the Purchase Price to Subscriber. The failure of the Closing to occur on the Closing Date shall not terminate this Subscription
Agreement or otherwise relieve any party of any of its obligations hereunder. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “business
day” means any day that, in New York, New York, is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are generally
authorized or required by law or regulation to close.

(ii) No
Authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any law, rule, regulation, judgment, decree, executive order

(iii) All
conditions precedent to the consummation of the Transaction set forth in the Transaction Agreement, as determined by the parties

such conditions as of the consummation of the Transaction), and the closing of the Transaction shall be substantially concurrent
with the Closing.

covenants required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed by the Company and (ii))no amendment, waiver or modification

4. Transfer
Restrictions.


 


4.1 After
the consummation of the Transaction, the Securities may only be resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in compliance
with state and federal securities laws and pursuant to an effective registration statement, Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule
144”) or pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, to the Company
or to an affiliate of the Subscriber. As a condition of transfer (other than pursuant to an effective registration statement pursuant
to Rule 144 or pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act), any such transferee
shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Subscription Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of the
Subscriber under this Agreement.





 


4.2 The
Company acknowledges that the Securities may be pledged by Subscriber in connection with a bona fide margin agreement, provided
that such pledge shall be pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or pursuant
to, and in accordance with, a registration statement that is effective under the Securities Act at the time of such pledge, and
Subscriber effecting a pledge of the Securities shall not be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof; provided,
however, that neither the Company nor its counsel shall be required to take any action (or refrain from taking any action) in connection
with any such pledge, other than providing any such lender of such margin agreement with an acknowledgment that the Subscribed
Shares are not subject to any contractual lock up or prohibition on pledging, the form of such acknowledgment to be subject to
review and comment by the Company in all respects.


 


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, the 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 The
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.


 



    13


     


    

 





4.5
The Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that it will not, and will cause each person acting at the Subscriber’s direction
or pursuant to any understanding with the 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 the Subscriber having a net short cash position in respect of the Securities
until the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (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 engaging in (i) any purchase
of securities by the Subscriber, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of the 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 the Subscriber, its controlled affiliates or any
person or entity acting on behalf of the Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates prior to the execution of this Subscription
Agreement or (B) purchased by the Subscriber, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of the 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 the 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 an 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 all commercially reasonable efforts to make all Securities DRS eligible 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 and 9 and the indemnification and contribution provisions of Section 6 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 earlier 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 Evolv to terminate this Subscription
Agreement, (iii) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 3.2 of this Subscription Agreement are not
satisfied or waived by the party entitled to grant such waiver on or prior to the Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions
contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated at the Closing or (iv) if the Closing shall not have occurred on
or before the Outside Date (as defined in the Transaction Agreement); provided, that, subject to the limitations set forth
in Section 9, 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 promptly notify Subscriber of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination
of such agreement.


 






    14


     


    

 


6. Registration
Rights.


 


6.1 The
Company agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days after the consummation of the Transaction (the “Filing Deadline”),
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 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 the Subscriber for review at least three
(3) business days in advance of the filing the Registration Statement, and shall advise the Subscriber 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) thirty (30) calendar days following the Filing Deadline (or sixty (60) calendar days if the Commission notifies the Company
that it will “review” the Registration Statement) and (ii) the 5th 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 a Holder in the Registration Statement are contingent upon such Holder furnishing in writing
to the Company such information regarding such Holder, the securities of the Company held by Holder 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 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 Holders 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) the 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) the 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 such securities cease to be Registrable Securities (as defined below), (y) such time as when all Holders
with Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement have notified the Company that such Registrable Securities
have actually been sold and (z) two 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 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 Holder to resell Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, 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) four (4) years, (B) the date all Securities held by a Holder may be sold by such Holder 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 a Holder, or (D) when such securities shall have ceased to be outstanding. “Holder”
shall mean the Subscriber or any affiliate of the Subscriber to which the rights under this Section 6 shall have been assigned.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subscriber shall not be required to sign any form of lock-up agreement. The Subscriber may deliver
written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company requesting that the Subscriber not receive notices from
the Company otherwise required by this Section 6.1; provided, however, that the Subscriber may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice
in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from the Subscriber (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Company shall not
deliver any such notices to the Subscriber and the Subscriber shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such
notice and (ii) the Subscriber will notify the Company in writing at least two (2) 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 the Subscriber, within one (1) business day of the Subscriber’s notification to the Company, by delivering
to the Subscriber a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide the Subscriber with the related
notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event promptly following its availability.


 






    15


     


    

 


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;


 


6.2.2 advise
Subscriber within two (2) 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, 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, 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.


 






    16


     


    

 


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 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 forty-five (45) consecutive
days or more than a total of one hundred-twenty (120) 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 (which notice shall not contain material
non-public information) 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) 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, notwithstanding any termination of this Subscription Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Subscriber (to
the extent a seller under the Registration Statement) and any other Holder, and any of their respective 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, without limitation, reasonable
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 the 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; 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. The Company shall notify the Subscriber and each other Holder
promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Section 6 of which the Company is aware. 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 or any other Holder.


 






    17


     


    

 


6.5 Subscriber
or any Holder shall, severally and not jointly, 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 such Subscriber or Holder furnished to the Company by such Subscriber or
such Holder 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 such Subscriber (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In no event shall the liability of such Subscriber or such Holder
be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Subscriber or such Holder upon the sale of the
Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Subscriber shall notify the Company promptly of the institution, threat
or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 6 of which such
Subscriber is aware, provided that a failure by Subscriber to provide such notice shall not impact Subscriber’s right to
be indemnified hereunder unless 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
or any other Holder.


 


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 6.7 shall be individual, not joint and several, and in no event shall the liability of Subscriber or Holder hereunder be
greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Subscriber or such Holder upon the sale of the Securities
giving rise to such indemnification obligation.


 


7. Miscellaneous.


 


7.1 Further

affiliates or any of its or their respective control persons, officers, directors, employees or representatives shall have

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 Agents or any other person or entity concerning the
Company. the Placement Agents, any of their respective controlled affiliates, this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby.


 


8.1 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.


 


8.2 No
Waiver of Rights, Powers and Remedies. 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.


 


8.3 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

8.4 Expenses.
Except for placement fees equal to 3% of gross proceeds payable to the Placement Agents, each of Evolv and the Company has not
paid, and is not obligated to pay, any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with its issuance and
sale of the Securities, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any fee or commission payable to any stockholder or affiliate of
the Company.


 


8.5 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.


 


8.6 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.


 


8.7 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.


 


8.8 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.


 






    23


     


    




 


8.9 Remedies.


 


8.9.1 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 7.8, 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.


  


8.9.2 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.


 


8.9.3 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.


 


9. Disclosure.

Company shall, by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first (1st) business day immediately following the date of this
Subscription Agreement file a Current Report on Form 8-K or press release filed with the Commission (the time of such filing, “Disclosure
Time”) 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 the Subscriber that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information
delivered to the Subscriber by the Company, Evolv or any of their officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement and the Transaction Agreement, and the Subscriber shall no longer be subject
to any confidentiality or similar obligations under any current agreement, whether written or oral with Company, Placement Agents

    24


     


    




 


9.2 Subscriber
hereby consents to the publication and disclosure in (x) any Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Commission in connection with
the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the definitive agreement relating to the Transaction and any filing with the
Commission made in connection therewith, including any proxy statement, prospectus or registration statement related thereto or
any other filing with the Commission pursuant to applicable securities laws, and (y) any other documents or communications, including
press-releases, provided by the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement or the definitive
agreement relating to the Transaction, the nature of Subscriber’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under and
relating to this Subscription Agreement and, if deemed required or appropriate by the Company, a copy of this Subscription Agreement
but in each case solely to the extent disclosure is required by law, at the request of the Commission or regulatory agency.


 


10. 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 Company’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering
dated July 30, 2020 (the “Prospectus”) available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of the Company’s assets
consist of the cash proceeds of Company’s initial public offering 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 have or may
have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account as
a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9 (x) shall
serve to limit or prohibit the Subscriber’s right to pursue a claim against Company for legal relief against assets held
outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief, (y) shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims
that the 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 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.
