Subject to the last sentence of Section 2(a), the Investor acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of the Domestication, the Committed Shares that will be issued pursuant hereto shall be shares of common stock in a Delaware corporation (and not shares in a Cayman Islands exempted company).

The term “Eligible Investor” means any subscriber in the offering who is not a beneficial or record owner of the Company’s equity or an affiliate of the Issuer prior to the Initial Closing (as defined below).]1 
        

        
          (b)   In addition to the Committed Shares, the Investor shall be entitled to receive its Pro Rata Portion of up to 2,000,000 additional Shares (the “Incentive Shares”), as such amount may be reduced by the Non-Redemption Amount in accordance with Section 1(g), on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for herein as an incentive to subscribe for and purchase the Committed Shares. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, the Investor’s “Pro Rata Portion” shall equal a fraction (expressed as a percentage), the numerator of which is the total number of Committed Shares purchased by the Investor hereunder, and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares that are purchased by the Investor, the Other Investors and any other investors eligible to receive Incentive Shares. Investor’s receipt of the Incentive Shares is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 2 and in Section 3 below. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2(a), the Investor acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of the Domestication, the Incentive Shares that will be issued pursuant hereto shall be shares of common stock in a Delaware corporation (and not shares in a Cayman Islands exempted company).

For the purposes of this Agreement, “Held Committed Shares” means the number of Committed Shares (as defined herein) issued to Investor at the closing of the subscription contemplated hereby (the “Initial Closing”) that Investor (or its permitted assigns) holds on the Measurement Date (as defined herein), it being understood that in the event

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no fraction of a Share will be issued pursuant to this Section 1(b), and if Investor (or its permitted assigns) would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a Share, the number of Additional Shares to be issued to Investor (or its permitted assigns) will instead be rounded down to the nearest whole Share, without payment in lieu of such fractional Share.

          (e)   In the event that the Additional Period VWAP (as defined herein) is less than the Adjustment Period VWAP (as adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split or similar adjustment following the closing of the Transaction), Investor (or its permitted assigns) shall be entitled to receive from Issuer a number of additional Shares (such additional shares, if any, the “Additional Period Shares”) equal to the lesser of (1) such Investor’s respective Pro Rata Portion of up to 1,000,000 additional Shares (the “Additional Period Shares Pool”), as such amount may be reduced by the Non-Redemption Amount in accordance with Section 1(g), and (2) (i) (A) (x) the number of Additional Period Held Committed Shares (as defined herein) times (y) the Adjustment Period VWAP minus the Additional Period VWAP minus (B) the number of Incentive Shares times the Additional Period VWAP divided by (ii) the Additional Period VWAP. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Additional Period Held Committed Shares” means the number of Committed Shares issued to Investor at Initial Closing that Investor (or its permitted assigns) holds on the Additional Period Measurement Date (as defined herein), it being understood that in the event Investor sells any Shares prior to the Additional Period Measurement Date, such sales shall be deemed to have been first of Committed Shares and then of other Shares (including Incentive Shares). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no fraction of a Share will be issued pursuant to this Section 1(d), and if Investor (or its permitted assigns) would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a Share, the number of Additional Period Shares to be issued to Investor (or

The Investor acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of the Domestication, the Additional Period Shares, if any, issued pursuant hereto shall be shares of common stock in a Delaware corporation (and not shares in a Cayman Islands exempted company).

The number of shares constituting the Additional Period Shares Pool will be reduced by the number of Non-Redemption Shares that Issuer agrees to issue pursuant to such Non-Redemption Agreements; provided, that in no event shall the number of Shares constituting the Additional Period Shares Pool be reduced by more than 500,000 Shares (such amount, the “Non-Redemption Amount”). If the Non-Redemption Amount is greater than 500,000, then the number of Incentive Shares shall be reduced by a number of Shares equal to the Non-Redemption Amount minus 500,000; provided, that in no event shall the number of Incentive Shares be reduced by more than 500,000 Shares.
        

        
          (h)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 1(d) and (e), in the event that a Strategic Transaction closes during the fifteen (15)-month period beginning on the date of the Initial Closing, then the Additional Period Measurement Date shall be one day prior to the date of the closing of such Strategic Transaction and the Additional Period VWAP shall mean the actual Strategic Transaction Price. “Strategic Transaction Price” means the price per Share paid or payable to the holders of outstanding Shares, inclusive of any escrows, holdbacks or fixed deferred purchase price, but exclusive of any contingent deferred purchase price, earnouts or the like; provided that, if and to the extent such price is payable in whole or in part in the form of consideration other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be (a) with respect to any securities, (i) the average of the closing prices of the sales of such securities on all securities exchanges on which such securities are then listed, averaged over a period of thirty (30) Trading Days ending on the day as of which such value is being determined and the twenty-nine (29) consecutive days preceding such day, or (ii) if the information contemplated by the preceding clause (i) is not practically available, then the fair value of such securities as of the date of valuation as determined in accordance with the succeeding clause (b), and (b) with respect to any other non-cash assets, the fair value thereof as of the date of valuation, as determined by an independent, nationally recognized valuation firm reasonably selected by the Company, on the basis of an orderly sale to a willing, unaffiliated buyer in an arm’s-length transaction, taking into account all factors determinative of value as the investment banking firm determines relevant (and giving effect to any transfer taxes payable in connection with such sale).

          (b)   If applicable, the issuance of the Additional Shares contemplated hereby (the “Additional Closing” and together with the Initial Closing, each, a “Closing”) shall occur on the fifth (5th) business day following the Measurement Date (the “Additional Closing Date” and together with the Initial Closing Date, each, a “Closing Date”). On the Additional Closing Date, Issuer shall, upon satisfaction (or, if applicable, waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section 3, issue the Additional Shares to Investor and cause the Additional Shares to be registered in book entry form in the name of the Investor on Issuer’s share register (which book entry records shall contain an appropriate notation concerning transfer restrictions of the Additional Shares, in accordance with applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other applicable jurisdictions), and will provide to the Investor evidence of such issuance from Issuer’s transfer agent.

The Investor is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares. The Investor has completed Schedule A following the signature page hereto and the information contained therein is accurate and complete. Accordingly, the Investor understands that the offering meets the exemptions from filing under FINRA Rule 5123(b)(1)(C) or (J). 
        

        
          (b)   The Investor is a sophisticated investor, experienced in investing in private equity transactions and capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities, including its participation in the Transaction and (iii) has exercised independent judgment in evaluating its participation in the purchase of the Shares without reliance on Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citi”) and Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies” and together with Citi, the “Placement Agents” and individually, a “Placement Agent”) or any of their respective affiliates, or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing. Accordingly, the Investor understands that the offering meets (i) the exemptions from filing under FINRA Rule 5123(b)(1)(A) and (ii) the institutional customer exemption under FINRA Rule 2111(b). The Investor has determined based on its own independent review and such professional advice as it deems appropriate that the Investor’s purchase of the Shares and participation in the Transaction (i) are fully consistent with its financial needs, objectives and condition, (ii) comply and are fully consistent with all investment policies, guidelines and other restrictions applicable to it, (iii) have been duly authorized and approved by all necessary action, (iv) do not and will not violate or constitute a default under the Investor’s charter, by-laws or other constituent document or under any law, rule, regulation, agreement or other obligation by which it is bound and (v) are a fit, proper and suitable investment for the Investor, notwithstanding the substantial risks inherent in investing in or holding the Shares.

          (c)   The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act, that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and that Issuer is not required to register the Shares except as set forth in Section 7 of this Subscription Agreement.

The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares will be subject to these securities law transfer restrictions and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, the Investor may not be able to readily offer, resell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares will not be eligible for offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act until at least one year from the date that the Company files a Current Report on Form 8-K following the closing date of the Transaction that includes the “Form 10” information required under applicable SEC rules and regulations.

The Investor acknowledges that such information and projections were prepared without the participation of the Placement Agents and that the Placement Agents do not assume responsibility for independent verification of, or the accuracy or completeness of, such information or projections. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed Issuer’s filings with the SEC.

In the event that any Additional Shares issued to Investor pursuant to the terms of this Subscription Agreement are not permitted by the SEC to be registered on the Registration Statement, Issuer agrees that, within thirty (30) business days following the Additional Closing Date (the “Additional Filing Deadline” and, together with the Initial Filing Deadline, each, a “Filing Deadline”), Issuer will submit to or file with the SEC a registration statement for a shelf registration on Form S-1 or Form S-3 (if Issuer is then eligible to use a Form S-3 shelf registration) (an “Additional Registration Statement” and, together with the Initial Registration Statement, each, a “Registration Statement”), in each case, covering the resale of the Additional Shares acquired by the Investor pursuant to this Subscription Agreement which are eligible for registration (determined as of two business days prior to such submission or filing) (the “Additional Registrable Shares” and, together with the Committed Registrable Shares, the “Registrable Shares”). Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have each Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 120th calendar day following the filing date thereof if the SEC notifies Issuer that it will “review” the Registration Statement (including a limited review) and (ii) the 10th business day after the date Issuer 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 Deadline”). 
        

        
          (b)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Issuer’s obligations to include any Registrable Shares in a Registration Statement are contingent upon Investor furnishing in writing to Issuer such information regarding Investor or its permitted assigns, the securities of Issuer held by Investor and the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Shares (which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings) as shall be reasonably requested by Issuer to effect the registration of such Registrable Shares at least five (5) business days in advance of the expected filing date of the applicable Registration Statement, and Investor shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that Issuer shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of such Registration Statement, if applicable, during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder; provided that Investor shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Registrable Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents Issuer from including any or all of the Registrable Shares proposed to be registered under a Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 under the Securities Act for the resale of the Registrable Shares pursuant to this Section 7 by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Registrable Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Registrable Shares as is permitted to be registered by the SEC. In such event, the number of Registrable Shares to be registered for each selling stockholder named in such Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders. In the event Issuer amends the Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, Issuer 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 Registrable Shares that were not registered on the initial Registration Statement, as so amended. For as long as the Investor holds Registrable Shares, Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports for so long as the condition in Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) is required to be satisfied, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the undersigned to resell the Registrable Shares pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act (in each case, when Rule 144 of the Securities Act becomes available to the Investor).

          Any failure by Issuer to file a Registration Statement by the applicable Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Deadline with respect thereto shall not otherwise relieve Issuer of its obligations to file or effect the applicable Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 7. 
        

        
          (c)   At its expense Issuer shall: 
        

        
          (i)   except for such times as Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which Issuer determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to Investor, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (A) Investor ceases to hold any Registrable Shares, (B) the date all Registrable Shares held by Investor may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including, without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), and (C) two (2) years from the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement (the period of time during which Issuer is required hereunder to keep a Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “Registration Period”); 
        

        
          (ii)   during the Registration Period, advise Investor, as expeditiously as practicable: 
        

        
          (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 Issuer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and 
        

        
          (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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. 
        

        
          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Issuer shall not, when so advising Investor of such events, provide Investor with any material, nonpublic information regarding Issuer other than to the extent that providing notice to Investor of the occurrence of the events listed in (1) through (4) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding Issuer; 
        

        
          (iii)   during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable; 
        

        
          (iv)   during the Registration Period, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 7(c)(ii)(4) above, except for such times as Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, Issuer 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 Registrable 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

          (v)   during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Shares to be listed on the Stock Exchange; 
        

        
          (vi)   during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow the Investor to review disclosure regarding the Investor in any Registration Statement; and 
        

        
          (vii)   during the Registration Period, otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Investor, consistent with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, in connection with the registration of the Registrable Shares. 
        

        
          (d)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, Issuer shall be entitled to delay the filing or effectiveness of, or suspend the use of, a Registration Statement if it determines that in order for such Registration Statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, (i) an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act, (ii) the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by Issuer or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event Issuer’s board of directors reasonably believes would require additional disclosure by Issuer in such Registration Statement of material information that Issuer has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in such Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of Issuer’s board of directors to cause such Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements, or (iii) in the good faith judgment of the majority of the members of Issuer’s board of directors, such filing or effectiveness or use of such Registration Statement, would be seriously detrimental to Issuer and the majority of the members of Issuer’s board of directors concludes as a result that it is essential to defer such filing (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that Issuer may not delay or suspend a Registration Statement on more than three 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-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from Issuer of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that a Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event a 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, Investor agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Shares under such Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Investor receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which Issuer 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 Issuer that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by Issuer unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by Issuer, Investor will deliver to Issuer or, in Investor’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Shares in Investor’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Shares shall not apply (A) to the extent Investor is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (1) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (2) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (B) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. 
        

        
          (e)   Indemnification. 
        

        
          (i)   Issuer agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, Investor (to the extent a seller under any Registration Statement), its directors, officers and each person who controls Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act), to the extent permitted by law, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented outside attorneys’ fees of one law firm (and one firm of local counsel)) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement (“Prospectus”) or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or 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 a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to Issuer by or on behalf of such Investor expressly for use therein. 
        

        
          (ii)   In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, such Investor shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to Issuer in writing such information and affidavits as Issuer reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify Issuer, its directors and officers and each person or entity who controls Issuer (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or 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 a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by on behalf of such Investor expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the liability of such Investor shall be several and not joint with any Other Investor and shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of Registrable Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. 
        

        
          (iii)   Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (A) 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 (B) 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). 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) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which does not 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. 
        

        
          (iv)   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. 
        

        
          (v)   If the indemnification provided under this Section 7(d) from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that

          the liability of the Investor shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of Registrable Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or 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 or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 7(d)(i), (ii) and (iii) above, 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(d)(v) from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
        

        
          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 Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms without being consummated, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) if the conditions to the Initial Closing set forth in Section 3 of this Subscription Agreement are not satisfied, or are not capable of being satisfied, on or prior to the Initial Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement to be consummated at the Initial Closing will not be or are not consummated at the Initial Closing and (iv) the Agreement End Date (as defined in the Transaction Agreement and as it may be extended as described therein) if the Initial Closing has not occurred by such date; provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful breach. Issuer shall notify the Investor of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement. Upon the termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with this Section 8, any monies paid by the Investor to Issuer in connection herewith shall be promptly (and in any event within one business day after such termination) returned to the Investor. 
        

        
          9.   Investor Covenant.   Investor hereby agrees that, from the date of this Subscription Agreement, none of Investor, its controlled affiliates, or any person or entity acting on behalf of Investor or any of its controlled affiliates or pursuant to any understanding with Investor or any of its controlled affiliates will engage in any Short Sales with respect to securities of Issuer prior to the Additional Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 9, “Short Sales” shall include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges (other than pledges in the ordinary course of business as part of prime brokerage arrangements), forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing herein shall prohibit other entities under common management with Investor that have no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of Investor’s participation in the Transaction (including Investor’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any Short Sales and (ii) in the case of an Investor that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Investor’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Investor’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Subscription Agreement. 
        

        
          10.   Trust Account Waiver.   The Investor acknowledges that Issuer is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving Issuer and one or more businesses or assets. The Investor further acknowledges that, as described in Issuer’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated July 27, 2020 (the “IPO Prospectus”)

          available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of Issuer’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of Issuer’s initial public offering and private placement of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of Issuer, its public shareholders and the underwriter of Issuer’s initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to Issuer to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the IPO Prospectus. For and in consideration of Issuer entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Investor hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind it has or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and irrevocably agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement. Investor agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Subscription Agreement and specifically relied upon by Issuer and its affiliates to induce Issuer to enter in this Subscription Agreement, and each such party further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against the Investor and its affiliates under applicable law. To the extent Investor commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Issuer or its affiliates, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against Issuer or its affiliates, the Investor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Investor’s sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit the Investor (or any person claiming on any of their behalves or in lieu of any of the Investor) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein and in the event of any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Issuer or its affiliates, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) in violation of this Subscription Agreement, Issuer shall be entitled to recover from the Investor and its affiliates, the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such action, in the event Issuer or its affiliates, as applicable, prevails in such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding any else in this Section 10, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the Investor’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of the Investor’s record or beneficial ownership of any equity interests in Issuer acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement. 
        

        
          11.   Miscellaneous. 
        

        
          (a)   Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Investor hereunder (other than the Shares acquired hereunder, if any) may be transferred or assigned; provided that the Investor may assign its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to one or more of its affiliates (including other investment funds or accounts managed or advised by the investment manager who acts on behalf of the Investor or an affiliate thereof); provided, further, that no such assignment shall relieve the Investor of its obligations hereunder. 
        

        
          (b)   Issuer may request from the Investor such additional information as Issuer may deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Shares and in connection with the inclusion of the Shares in the Registration Statement, and the Investor shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested. The Investor acknowledges that Issuer may file a copy of this Subscription Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to a current or periodic report or a registration statement of Issuer. 
        

        
          (c)   The Investor acknowledges that Issuer and the Placement Agents (as third party beneficiaries with the right to enforce Section 4, Section 5, Section 6, Section 10, and Section 11 hereof on their own behalf and not, for the avoidance of doubt, on behalf of Issuer) will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Additional Closing, the Investor agrees to promptly notify Issuer and the Placement Agents if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Investor set forth herein are no longer accurate. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that each purchase by the Investor of Shares from Issuer will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein (as modified by any such notification) by the Investor as of the time of such purchase. 
        

        
          (d)   Issuer, the Placement Agent and the Investor are each entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and each is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof

          (f)   This Subscription Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 8 above) except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto. No failure or delay of either party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties and third party beneficiaries hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.

          (i)   If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect. 
        

        
          (j)   This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different 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. 
        

        
          (k)   The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Subscription Agreement, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.
