(a)    In the event that the Shares are not registered in connection with the consummation of the Closing, the Company agrees that the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to submit or file with the SEC (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement (including the prospectus included in such registration statement, amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registration statement, and all exhibits to and all material incorporated by reference in such registration statement, the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the Shares, within thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”), and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Closing Date and (ii) the 10th Business Day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”); provided, however, that the Company’s obligations to include the Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the Subscriber, the securities of the Company held by the Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that the Company shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement as permitted hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents the Company from including any or all of the shares 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 Shares pursuant to this Section 7 by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Shares as is permitted to be registered by the SEC. In such event, the number of Shares to be registered for each selling 
14






stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders. In the event the Company is required to amend the Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as allowed by the SEC, one or more registration statements to register the resale of those Shares that were not registered on the initial Registration Statement, as so amended. In no event shall the Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the SEC; provided, that if the SEC requests that the Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Subscriber will have an opportunity to withdraw its Shares from the Registration Statement. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Company to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement set forth in this Section 7.
(b)    In the case of the registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform the Subscriber as to the status of such registration. At its expense, the Company shall:
(i)    use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the continuous effectiveness of the Registration Statement, until the earliest of (i) the date on which the Shares may be resold without volume or manner of sale limitations and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, (ii) the date on which such Shares have actually been sold and (iii) the date which is two (2) years after the Closing;
(ii)    advise the Subscriber, as expeditiously as possible (and not later than within three (3) Business Days):
(1)    when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC;
(2)    after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;
(3)     of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and
15






(4)     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 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 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 the Subscriber of such events, provide the Subscriber with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company other than to the extent that providing notice to the Subscriber of the occurrence of the events listed in (1) through (4) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Company;
(iii)    its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;
(iv)    upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 7(b)(ii)(4) above, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon 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 Shares 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(v)    use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the shares of Common Stock issued by the Company have been listed;
(vi)    use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow the Subscriber to review disclosure regarding the Subscriber in the Registration Statement; and
(vii)    otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Subscriber, consistent with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, in connection with the registration of the Shares. 
(c)    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 the Subscriber not to sell 
16






under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, (i) during any customary blackout period, (ii) 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 CEO, CFO or General Counsel, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements, (iii) at any time the Company is required to file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement and the SEC has not declared such amendment effective or (iv) 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 CEO, CFO or General Counsel reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Company in the Registration Statement of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Company’s CEO, CFO or General Counsel, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Company may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two (2) occasions or for more than ninety (90) consecutive calendar days, or more than one hundred and twenty (120) total calendar days, in each case, during any twelve (12) month 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, the Subscriber agrees that (A) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act but subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to compliance with Subscriber’s obligations under applicable securities laws) until the 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 (B) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by Law. If so directed by the Company, the Subscriber will deliver to the Company or, in the Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares in the Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares shall not apply (x) to the extent the Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such to comply with 
17






applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements prospectus or in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (y) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.
(d)    The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Subscriber (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), its officers, directors, advisors and agents, and each person who controls the 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 attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent that such untrue statements or alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding the Subscriber furnished in writing to the Company by the Subscriber expressly for use therein or the Subscriber has omitted a material fact from such information or otherwise violated the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder. 
(e)    The Subscriber shall 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 upon information regarding the Subscriber furnished in writing to the Company by the Subscriber expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of the Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Subscriber upon the sale of the Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The Subscriber shall notify the Company promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Action arising from or in 
18






connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 7 of which the Subscriber is aware.
(f)    Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement), which settlement shall not include a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party, and which settlement shall include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
(g)    The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.
(h)    If the indemnification provided under this Section 7 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Losses, 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 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; provided, however, that the liability of the Subscriber shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Subscriber from the sale of Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference 
19






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 not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), 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 shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 7, 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 7(g) from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(i)    For purposes of this Section 7 of this Subscription Agreement, (i) “Shares” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the Shares (as defined in the recitals to this Subscription Agreement) and any other equity security issued or issuable with respect to the Shares by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, or replacement, and (ii) “Subscriber” shall include any affiliate of the Subscriber to which the rights under this Section 7 shall have been duly assigned.
8.    TERMINATION. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto and in the case of the Company, with consent of the Target to terminate this Subscription Agreement or (c) the End Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement as of the date hereof without giving effect to any amendment, modification or waiver thereto from and after the date hereof). The Company shall notify Subscriber of the termination of the Merger Agreement promptly after the termination thereof.  Upon the termination hereof in accordance with this Section 8, the Purchase Price paid by Subscriber to the Company (if any) in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) be returned in full to Subscriber by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by Subscriber, without any deduction for or on account of any tax withholding, charges or set-off.
9.    TRUST WAIVER. Reference is made to the final prospectus of the Company, filed with the SEC (File No. 333-249856) (the “Prospectus”) and dated as of December 1, 2020 (the “Effective Date”). The Subscriber warrants and represents that it has read the Prospectus and understands that the Company has established a trust account containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (collectively, with interest accrued from time to time 
20






thereon, the “Trust Fund”) for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders (the “Public Stockholders”) and certain parties (including the underwriters of the IPO) and that the Company may disburse monies from the Trust Fund only: (a) to the Public Stockholders in the event they elect to redeem shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock in connection with the Closing, (b) to the Public Stockholders if the Company fails to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or another business combination within twenty-four (24) months from the closing of the IPO, (c) any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Fund necessary to pay any taxes or (d) to the Company after or concurrently with the Closing or the consummation of another business combination. The Subscriber hereby agrees that it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Fund or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against, the Trust Fund, to the extent such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to any proposed or actual business relationship between the Company and the Subscriber, this Subscription Agreement or any other matter, regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Claims”). The Subscriber hereby irrevocably waives any Claims it may have against the Trust Fund (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with respect to this Subscription Agreement and will not seek recourse against the Trust Fund (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, for an alleged breach of this Subscription Agreement) with respect thereto. The Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Subscription Agreement and specifically relied upon by the Company to induce it to enter into this Subscription Agreement, and the Subscriber further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable under applicable law. To the extent the Subscriber commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to the Company, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against the Company, the Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees its sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Fund and that such claim shall not permit the Subscriber (or any party claiming on the Subscriber’s behalf or in lieu of the Subscriber) to have any claim against the Trust Fund (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. In the event the Subscriber commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to the Company, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Fund (including any distributions therefrom) or the Public Stockholders, whether in the form of money damages or injunctive relief, the Company shall be entitled to recover from the Subscriber the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such action, in the event the Company prevails in such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Section 9 shall not affect the rights of the Subscriber, if applicable, in its capacity as a Public Stockholder to receive distributions from the Trust Fund paid to Public Stockholders in accordance with the Company’s organizational documents and the Prospectus.
21






10.    SECURITIES LAW MATTERS.
(a)    It is understood that, except as provided below, book entry accounts evidencing the Shares must bear the following legends:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING SUCH SECURITIES, AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ISSUER THAT THESE SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (I) TO THE ISSUER OR A SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (II) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (III) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES PURSUANT TO REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (IV) IN A TRANSACTION THAT IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, AND IN EACH CASE IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. 
(b)    The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts, if requested by the Subscriber, to (i) cause the removal of any restrictive legend set forth on the Shares and (ii) issue Shares without any such legend in certificated or book-entry form or by electronic delivery through The Depository Trust Company, at the Subscriber’s option, within five (5) Business Days of such deposit, provided that in each case (A) such Shares are registered for resale under the Securities Act pursuant to an effective Registration Statement and the Subscriber has sold or proposes to sell such Shares pursuant to such registration, (B) the Subscriber has sold or transferred, or proposes to sell or transfer, Shares pursuant to Rule 144 and (C) the Company, its counsel and its transfer agent have received customary representations and other documentation from the Subscriber that is reasonably necessary to establish that restrictive legends are no longer required as reasonably requested by the Company, its counsel or its transfer agent. With respect to clause (A), while the Registration Statement is effective, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue to the transfer agent a legal opinion to allow the legend on the Shares to be removed upon resale of the Shares pursuant to the effective Registration Statement in accordance with this Section 10, and within two (2) trading days of any request therefor from the Subscriber accompanied by such customary and reasonably acceptable representations and other documentation establishing that restrictive legends are no longer required, deliver to the transfer agent instructions that the transfer agent shall make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry Shares.
(c)    As long as the Subscriber shall own any of the Shares, and such Shares are “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act), the Company 
22






covenants to use its commercially reasonable efforts to make and keep public information available (as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144) and file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the Closing pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Subscriber with true and complete copies of all such filings to enable the Subscriber to resell the Shares pursuant to Rule 144; provided that any documents publicly filed or furnished with the SEC pursuant to the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System shall be deemed to have been furnished or delivered to the Subscriber pursuant to this Section 10(c).
(d)    The Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that it will not, nor will any person acting at the Subscriber’s direction or pursuant to any understanding with the Subscriber, directly or indirectly engage in hedging activities or execute any “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act of the Acquiror Class A Common Stock (any of the foregoing transactions, “Short Sales”) until the Closing or the earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing herein shall prohibit other entities under common management, or that share a common investment advisor, with the Subscriber that have no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of the Subscriber’s participation in the subscription (including the Subscriber’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any Short Sales and (ii) in the case of a Subscriber that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers or desks 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 covenant set forth in this Section 10(d) shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Subscription Agreement.
11.    MISCELLANEOUS. 
(a)    All press releases or other public communications relating to the transactions contemplated hereby between the Company and the Subscriber, and the method of the release for publication thereof, shall prior to the Closing be subject to the prior approval of (i) the Company, and (ii) to the extent such public communication references the Subscriber, the Subscriber. The restriction in this Section 11(a) shall not apply to the extent the public announcement is required by applicable securities Law, any governmental authority or stock exchange rule; provided, however, that in such an event, the applicable party shall consult with the other party in advance as to its form, content and timing to the extent practicable and permitted by Law. 
23






(b)    The 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 (the “Disclosure Time”), issue one or more press releases or file with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K (collectively, the “Disclosure Document”) disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, by the Other Subscription Agreements, and by the Merger Agreement. 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 or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement and the Merger Agreement, and from and after the earlier of the Disclosure Time and the issuance or filing of the Disclosure Document, Subscriber shall no longer be subject to any confidentiality or similar obligations under any current agreement, whether written or oral with the Company, the Placement Agents, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agent or affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement and the Merger Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable Law, the Company or Target, as applicable, shall consult with the Subscriber prior to the publication and disclosure in any Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC in connection with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby and the Registration Statement (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (and, as and to the extent otherwise required by the federal securities laws, exchange rules, the SEC or any other securities authorities or any rules and regulations promulgated thereby, any other documents or communications provided by the Company or Target to any governmental entity or to any securityholders of the Company) of Subscriber’s identity and beneficial ownership of the Shares and the nature of Subscriber’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under and relating to this Subscription Agreement and, if deemed appropriate by the Company or Target, a copy of this Subscription Agreement, all solely to the extent required by applicable law or any regulation or stock exchange listing requirement. 
(c)    All notices and other communications among the parties shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when delivered in person, (ii) when delivered after posting in the United States mail having been sent registered or certified mail return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) when delivered by FedEx or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or (iv) when delivered by email (in each case in this clause (iv), solely if receipt is confirmed, but excluding any automated reply, such as an out-of-office notification), addressed as follows:

Subject to the foregoing, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
(e)    Prior to or at the Subscription Closing, the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents and use commercially reasonable efforts to take such additional actions as the parties reasonably may deem to be practical and necessary, in each case, in order to consummate the subscription as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement. The Company may request from the Subscriber such additional information as the Company may deem necessary to obtain any material consents and approvals of third parties (including Governmental 
25






Authorities) required in connection with the Closing, and the Subscriber shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with its internal policies and procedures; provided, that the Company agrees to keep any such information provided by Subscriber confidential, except (A) as required by the federal securities laws, rules or regulations and (B) to the extent such disclosure is required by other laws, rules or regulations, at the request of the staff of the Commission or regulatory agency or under the regulations of the NYSE, in which case of clause (A) or (B), the Company shall provide the Subscriber with prior written notice (including by e-mail) of such permitted disclosure, and shall reasonably consult with the Subscriber regarding such disclosure.
(f)    This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified, waived or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto and Target as a third party beneficiary to Section 8 and this Section 11(f); provided, that Section 5, this Section 11(f), Section 11(n), Section 12 and Section 13 of this Subscription Agreement may not be amended, terminated or waived in a manner that is material and adverse to the Placement Agent without the written consent of the Placement Agent.
(g)    This Subscription Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successor and assigns.
(h)    If any provision of this Subscription Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Subscription Agreement, they shall take any actions reasonably necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent reasonably necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Subscription Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the parties.
(i)    The headings in this Subscription Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be considered a part of or affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of this Subscription Agreement. This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by electronic mail or other electronic submission, including .pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) and by different 
26






parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.
(j)    This Subscription Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of Laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction.

13.    NON-RECOURSE. This Subscription Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to any breach of any term or condition of this Subscription Agreement may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only to the extent of the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. 
14.    INDEPENDENT OBLIGATIONS. The obligations of the Subscriber under this Subscription Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other Subscriber under the Other Subscription Agreements, and the Subscriber shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Subscriber under the Other Subscription Agreements.

Nothing contained herein or in any Other Subscription Agreement, and no action taken by the Subscriber or any Other Subscribers pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Subscriber and Other Subscribers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Subscriber and Other Subscribers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements. The Subscriber acknowledges that no Other Subscriber has acted as agent for the Subscriber in connection with making its investment hereunder and no Other Subscriber will be acting as agent of the Subscriber in connection with monitoring its investment in the Shares or enforcing its rights under this Subscription 
28






Agreement.
