RE:
Securities Subscription Agreement 


 


Ladies
and Gentlemen:


 


ScION
Tech Growth II, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”, “we” or “us”),
is pleased to accept the offer made by ScION 2 Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Subscriber”
or “you”), to subscribe for and purchase 8,625,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company, $0.0001 par value
per share (the “Shares”), up to 1,125,000 of which are subject to forfeiture by you to the extent that the
underwriters of the initial public offering (“IPO”) of the Company’s units, each comprised of one Class
A ordinary share and one, or a portion of one, warrant to purchase one Class A ordinary share (“Units”), do
not fully exercise their option to purchase additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any (the “Over-allotment Option”).
The terms of the sale by the Company of the Shares to Subscriber, and the Company and Subscriber’s agreements regarding
the Shares, are as follows:


 


1. Subscription
and Purchase of Securities.


 


1.1. Purchase
of Shares. For the sum of $25,000 (the “Purchase Price”), which the Company acknowledges receiving in cash,
the Company hereby issues the Shares to Subscriber, and Subscriber hereby subscribes for and purchases the Shares from the Company,
on the terms and subject to the conditions, including regarding forfeiture, set forth in this letter agreement (this “Agreement”).
Concurrently with Subscriber’s execution of this Agreement, the Company shall effect
such issuance in book-entry form. Upon the issuance of the Shares, the Subscriber hereby surrenders for no consideration the one
Class B ordinary share held in its name in the register of members of the Company following the incorporation of the Company.



 


2. Representations,
Warranties and Agreements.


 


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


 


2.1.1. Organization
and Authority. Subscriber is a limited liability company, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of Delaware, and possesses all requisite power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. This Agreement is a legal, valid and binding agreement of Subscriber, enforceable against 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).


 






     


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


2.1.4. Experience,
Financial Capability and Suitability. Subscriber is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and
benefits of the investment in the Shares. Subscriber acknowledges that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered
under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Subscriber understands that it 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. Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of an
investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time and to afford a complete loss of Subscriber’s investment in the
Shares.


 


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


 


2.1.6. Access
to Information; Independent Investigation. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, 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
financial condition, 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, Subscriber has relied solely on Subscriber’s
own knowledge and understanding of the Company and its business based upon Subscriber’s own due diligence investigation.
Subscriber understands that no person has been authorized to make any representations other than as set forth in this Agreement
and Subscriber has not relied on any other written or oral representations relating to the financial condition, business and prospects
of the Company in making its investment decision.


 






    2


     


    

 


2.1.7. Investment
Representations. Subscriber represents that it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)
of Regulation D under the Securities Act and acknowledges the sale contemplated hereby is being made in reliance on the private
placement exemption in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or said Regulation D and similar exemptions under state law.
Subscriber is purchasing the Shares solely for investment purposes, for 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. 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. Subscriber understands the Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving a public offering
within the meaning of the Securities Act. Subscriber understands the Shares will be “restricted securities” within
the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, and Subscriber understands that the certificates or book-entries representing
the Shares will contain a legend or notation in respect of such restrictions. If, in the future, 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) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (ii) an exemption from registration available with respect
to such sale. 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, Subscriber may be required to deliver to the Company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Company. Absent registration or available exemption, Subscriber agrees not to resell the Shares. Subscriber further acknowledges
that because the Company is a shell company, Rule 144 may not be available to Subscriber for the resale of the Shares until one
year following consummation of the initial business combination of the Company, despite the release or waiver of any contractual
transfer restrictions.


 


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


 


2.2.1. Incorporation
and Authority. The Company is an exempted company, duly incorporated, 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. This Agreement is a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company 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).


 


2.2.2. 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 memorandum and articles of association
of the Company, (ii) any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company is a party or (iii) any law, statute, rule, regulation,
order, judgment or decree to which the Company is subject.


 






    3


     


    

 


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


 


2.2.4. Title
to Securities. Upon issuance in accordance with, and payment pursuant to, the terms hereof and the memorandum and articles
of association of the Company, and registration in the Company’s register of members, the Shares will be duly and validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Upon issuance in accordance with, and payment pursuant to, the terms hereof and the memorandum
and articles of association of the Company, and registration in the Company’s register of members, 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 other agreements to which the Shares may become subject, (b) transfer restrictions under federal and
state securities laws, and (c) liens, claims or encumbrances imposed due to the actions of Subscriber.


 


3. Forfeiture
of Shares.


 


3.1. Partial
or No Exercise of the Over-allotment Option. In the event the Over-allotment Option is not exercised in full, Subscriber acknowledges
and agrees that it (or, if applicable, it and/or any transferees of Shares) shall forfeit any and all rights to such number of
Shares (up to an aggregate of 1,125,000 Shares (as such amount may be adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, reorganizations,
recapitalizations and the like) and pro rata based upon the percentage of the Over-allotment Option exercised) such that immediately
following such forfeiture, Subscriber (and all other initial shareholders of the Company prior to the IPO, if any) will own an
aggregate number of Shares equal to 20% of the issued and outstanding Shares immediately following the IPO.


 


3.2. Termination
of Rights as Shareholder. If any of the Shares are forfeited in accordance with this Section 3, then after such time Subscriber
(or its 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.


 


4. Waiver
of Redemption Rights. Subscriber hereby waives any and all rights to redeem the Shares for a portion of the amounts held in
the trust account into which substantially all of the proceeds of the IPO will be deposited (the “Trust Account”)
in the event of the Company’s failure to timely complete an initial business combination, an extension of the time period
to complete an initial business combination or upon the consummation of an initial business combination. For purposes of clarity,
in the event Subscriber subscribes for and purchases Class A ordinary shares included in the Units issued in the IPO (“Public
Shares”), either in the IPO or in the aftermarket, any Public Shares so subscribed for and purchased shall be eligible
to be redeemed for a portion of the amounts held in the Trust Account in the event of the Company’s failure to timely complete
an initial business combination (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not in connection with an extension of the time period to complete
an initial business combination or upon the consummation 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”) to be dated as of the closing of the IPO by and between Subscriber
and the Company (which will also contain other agreements with respect to the Shares), 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 an opinion from counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
that 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 all applicable state securities laws.


 


5.2. Restrictive
Legends. Any certificates representing the Shares shall have endorsed thereon legends substantially as follows (and any book-entries
representing the Shares shall have similar notations):


 


“THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY UNITED
STATES STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED
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, IS AVAILABLE.”


 


“THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A LETTER AGREEMENT
WITH THE COMPANY (A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE COMPANY AT THE COMPANY’S PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS WITHOUT
CHARGE) AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN VIOLATION OF SUCH RESTRICTIONS.”


 


5.3. 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 Shares, a spin-off, a share sub-division, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization
or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding 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 hereof. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or
class of Shares subject to this Section 5 and Section 3.


 






    5


     


    

 


6. Other
Agreements.


 


6.1. Further
Assurances. 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.


 


6.2. Notices.
All notices, statements or other documents which are required or contemplated by this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered
(i) personally or by certified mail (return receipt requested) or overnight courier service or (ii) by electronic mail, if to
the Company, at the address of its principal offices and any electronic mail address as may be designated in writing by the Company
and, if to Subscriber, at its address in the books and records of the Company and any electronic mail address as may be designated
in writing by Subscriber, or to such other addresses as may be designated in writing by the Company or Subscriber. All such notices,
statements or other documents shall be deemed received on the date of receipt by the recipient thereof if received prior to 8:00
p.m. on a business day in the place of receipt. Otherwise, any such notices, statements or other documents shall be deemed to
have been received on the next succeeding business day in the place of receipt.


 


6.3. Entire
Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Insider Letter and the registration rights agreement to be entered into with
respect to the Shares, each substantially in the form to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 associated
with the Company’s IPO, embodies the entire agreement and understanding between 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 a 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


     


    

 


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 the State of New York applicable to contracts wholly performed within the borders of such state, without giving
effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.


 


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.


 






    7


     


    

 


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 in pdf format via
electronic mail, 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.


 


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 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.
