RE: Securities
Subscription Agreement


 


Ladies
and Gentlemen:


 


We
are pleased to accept the offer Forum Investors I, LLC (the “Subscriber” or “you”) has made
to purchase 3,593,750  shares of Class F common stock (the “Shares”), $.0001 par value per share
(the “Class F Common Stock” together with all other classes of Company (as defined below) common
stock, the “Common Stock”), up to 468,750 Shares of which are subject to complete or partial forfeiture by
you if the underwriters of the initial public offering (“IPO”) of Forum Merger Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), do not fully exercise their over-allotment option (the “Over-allotment Option”).
The terms (this “Agreement”) on which the Company is willing to sell the Shares to the Subscriber, and the
Company and the Subscriber’s agreements regarding such Shares, are as follows:


 


1.  Purchase
of Shares. For the sum of $25,000 (the “Purchase Price”), which the Company acknowledges receiving in cash,
the Company hereby sells and issues the Shares to the Subscriber, and the Subscriber hereby purchases the Shares from the Company,
subject to the forfeiture provisions of Section 3 below, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.
Concurrently with the Subscriber’s execution of this Agreement, the Company is delivering to the Subscriber a certificate
registered in the Subscriber’s name representing the Shares (the “Original Certificate”), receipt of
which the Subscriber hereby acknowledges.


 


2.  Representations,
Warranties and Agreements.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


2.1.3.  Organization
and Authority. The Subscriber is a Delaware limited liability company, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of Delaware and possesses all requisite power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Upon execution and delivery by you, this Agreement will be 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).


 






    	 		 



     

    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


2.1.7.  Investment
Purposes. The Subscriber is purchasing the Shares solely for investment purposes, for the Subscriber’s own account and
not for the account or benefit of any other person, and not with a view towards the distribution or dissemination thereof. The
Subscriber did not enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning
of Rule 502 of Regulation D 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”
as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act and Subscriber understands that the certificate representing the Shares
will contain a legend in respect of such restrictions. If in the future the Subscriber decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise
transfer the Shares, such Shares may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only in accordance with the provisions
of Section 5.1 hereof. 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 an exemption, the 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 the Subscriber for the resale of the Shares until
one year following consummation of the initial business combination of the Company, despite technical compliance with the certain
requirements of Rule 144 and the release or waiver of any contractual transfer restrictions.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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 Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws
of the Company, (ii) any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company is a party, (iii) any law, statute, rule or regulation
to which the Company is subject, or (iv) any agreement, order, judgment or decree to which the Company is subject.


 






    	 	2	 



     

    

 


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


 


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


 


3.  Forfeiture
of Shares.


 


3.1. Partial
or No Exercise of the Over-allotment Option. In the event the Over-allotment Option granted to the representative of the underwriters
of the IPO is not exercised in full, the Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it shall forfeit any and all rights to such number
of Shares (up to an aggregate of 468,750 Shares and pro rata based upon the percentage of the Over-allotment Option exercised)
such that immediately following such forfeiture, the Subscriber (and all other initial stockholders prior to the IPO, if any)
will own an aggregate number of Shares (not including Shares issuable upon exercise of any warrants or any Common Stock purchased
by Subscriber in the IPO or in the aftermarket, any Shares underlying units to be issued in a private placement at the time of
the IPO or any Shares to be issued to the underwriters at the time of the IPO) equal to 20% of the issued and outstanding Common
Stock immediately following the IPO.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


5.  Restrictions
on Transfer.


 


5.1.  Securities
Law Restrictions. In addition to any restrictions to be contained in that certain letter agreement (commonly known as an “Insider
Letter”) to be dated as of the closing of the IPO by and between Subscriber and the Company, 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 such registration is not required because such transaction is exempt from registration under the Securities Act
and the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder and with all applicable state securities laws.


 






    	 	3	 



     

    

 


5.2.  Lock-up.  Subscriber
acknowledges that the Shares will be placed into an escrow account maintained in New York, New York by Continental Stock
Transfer & Trust Company (“CST”), acting as escrow agent, and shall be subject to lock-up provisions (the
“Lock-up”) contained in that certain stock escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) to be
entered into as of, or prior to, the closing of the IPO by and between Subscriber and CST. Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement,
Subscriber will agree not to sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (i) all or any part of 50% the
Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination
or (B) the date on which the last sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock
splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day
period,  and all or any part of the remaining 50% the Shares until one year after the completion of the
Company’s initial business combination; notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company consummates a subsequent
liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction after its initial business combination that results in all
of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property, the
foregoing restrictions will immediately expire so that the Subscriber may participate in such
transaction.   


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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

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


 


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


 


6.5.  Waivers
and Consents. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may be waived, or consent for the departure therefrom granted, only
by written document executed by the party entitled to the benefits of such terms or provisions. No such waiver or consent shall
be deemed to be or shall constitute a waiver or consent with respect to any other terms or provisions of this Agreement, whether
or not similar. Each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it
was given, and shall not constitute a continuing waiver or consent.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






    	 	5	 



     

    

 


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 hold the other harmless from any claim
or demand for commission or other compensation by any broker, finder, financial consultant or similar agent claiming to have been
employed by or on behalf of such party and to bear the cost of legal expenses incurred in defending against any such claim.


 


6.13.  Headings
and Captions. The headings and captions of the various sections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and
shall in no way modify or affect the meaning or construction of any of the terms or provisions hereof.


 


6.14.  Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same
agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being
understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission
or any other form of electronic delivery, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or
on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.


 


6.15.  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 Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,”
“hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section
unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will
have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in
any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless
of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that
such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.


 


6.16. Mutual
Drafting. This Agreement is the joint product of the Subscriber and the Company and each provision hereof has been subject
to the mutual consultation, negotiation and agreement of such parties and shall not be construed for or against any party hereto.


 


7.  Voting
and Redemption of Shares. Subscriber agrees to vote the Shares in favor of an initial business combination that the Company
negotiates and submits for approval to the Company’s stockholders and shall not seek redemption with respect to such Shares.
Additionally, the Subscriber agrees not to redeem any Shares in connection with a redemption or tender offer presented to the
Company’s stockholders in connection with an initial business combination negotiated by the Company.


 


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