SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

This SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Subscription Agreement”) is entered into as of June 10, 2022, by and between Mudrick Capital Acquisition Corporation II, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and BC Cyan Holdings LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Subscriber”). Defined terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, substantially concurrently with the execution of this Subscription Agreement, the Company, BC Cyan Investment Holdings Inc. (“ BC Cyan”) and the other parties named therein are entering into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, modified, supplemented or waived from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which, inter alia, the Company will enter into a business combination transaction with BC Cyan, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (the “Transaction”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the Transaction (and as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, by virtue of the First Merger), the Subscriber desires to subscribe for and acquire from the Company a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Company Common Stock”), equal to the Pre-Closing Series B Share Consideration (as defined below) for a purchase price of $10.15 per share (the “PIPE Shares”), and the Company desires to issue to the Subscriber the PIPE Shares in consideration of (i) an aggregate of $40,000,000 (the “Pre-Closing Series B Purchase Price Amount”) previously contributed by the Subscriber to BC Cyan in connection with the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Company Series B Preferred Stock”), par value $0.00001 per share, of BC Cyan, plus (ii) all accrued and unpaid dividends on the amount of such Company Series B Preferred Stock from the date of issuance thereof through the Closing, all on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, the “Pre-Closing Series B Share Consideration” means an aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the quotient of (a) the Pre-Closing Series B Purchase Price Amount (together with all accrued and unpaid dividends on such amount from the date of issuance thereof through the Closing), divided by (b) $10.15.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Subscription.

1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (and as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, by virtue of the First Merger), at the Closing, the Subscriber hereby agrees to subscribe for, and the Company hereby agrees to issue to the Subscriber in exchange for (i) the previous contribution by the Subscriber of the Pre-Closing Series B Purchase Price Amount plus (ii) all accrued and unpaid dividends on the amount of such Company Series B Preferred Stock from the date of issuance thereof through the Closing, the PIPE Shares (such subscription and issuance, the “PIPE Subscription”).

2. Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

2.1 The 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 acknowledges and agrees with the Company as follows:

2.1.1 The Subscriber has been duly formed or incorporated and is validly existing in good standing (or the equivalent thereof with respect to the jurisdictions that recognize the concept of good standing or any equivalent thereof) under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation, with power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement.

2.1.2 This Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by the Subscriber. Assuming that this Subscription Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Company, this Subscription Agreement is enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity (the “Enforceability Exceptions”).

2.1.3 The execution, delivery and performance by the Subscriber of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein do not and will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Subscriber or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Subscriber or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Subscriber or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Subscriber or any of its subsidiaries is subject, which would reasonably be expected to materially affect the ability or legal authority of the Subscriber to comply in all material respects with the terms of this Subscription Agreement; (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of the Subscriber or any of its subsidiaries; or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Subscriber or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties that would reasonably be expected to materially affect the ability or legal authority of the Subscriber to comply in all material respects with this Subscription Agreement.

2.1.4 The Subscriber is (i) (a) a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) or (b) an “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), or (7) under the Securities Act), in either case, satisfying the applicable requirements set forth on Schedule A, (ii) an “institutional account”, as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c), (iii) a sophisticated institutional 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 and (iv) is acquiring the Shares only for

its own account and not for the account of others, or if the Subscriber is subscribing for the Shares as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, each owner of such account is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined above) and the Subscriber has full investment discretion with respect to each such account, and the full power and authority to make the acknowledgements, representations, warranties and agreements herein on behalf of each owner of each such account, and (iii) is not acquiring the Shares with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act. The Subscriber has completed Schedule A following the signature page hereto and the information contained therein is accurate and complete. The Subscriber is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares.

2.1.5 The Subscriber understands that the Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act. The Subscriber understands that the Shares may not be resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by the Subscriber absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Shares or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such registration statement is not required and an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available, and that any certificates or book entries representing the Shares shall contain a legend to such effect. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Shares will not immediately be eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. The Subscriber understands and agrees that the Shares will be subject to the foregoing transfer restrictions and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, the Subscriber may not be able to readily resell the Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time. The Subscriber understands that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of any of the Shares.

2.1.6 The Subscriber understands and agrees that the Subscriber is purchasing the Shares directly from the Company. The Subscriber further acknowledges that there have been no representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made to the Subscriber by the Company or any of their respective officers or directors, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company expressly set forth in this Subscription Agreement.

2.1.7 As of the date of this Subscription Agreement, the Subscriber represents and warrants that (i) it is not a Benefit Plan Investor as contemplated by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and (ii) its acquisition and holding of the Shares will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any applicable similar law, to the extent such laws are applicable to the Subscriber.

2.1.8 In making its decision to purchase the Shares, the Subscriber has relied solely upon its own independent investigation. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Subscriber has received and has had an adequate opportunity to review such financial and other information as the Subscriber deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares and made its own assessment and is satisfied concerning the relevant

tax and other economic considerations relevant to the Subscriber’s investment in the Shares. The Subscriber acknowledges it has conducted its own investigation of the Company and the Shares. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Subscriber acknowledges that it has reviewed the documents provided to the Subscriber by the Company. The Subscriber represents and agrees that the Subscriber and the Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as the Subscriber and the Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares. The Subscriber acknowledges that the information provided to the Subscriber is preliminary and subject to change, and that any changes to such information, including, without limitation, any changes based on updated information or changes in terms of the Transaction, shall in no way affect the Subscriber’s obligation to purchase the Shares hereunder.

2.1.9 The Subscriber acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Shares. The Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, and the Subscriber has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Subscriber has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision.

2.1.10 Based on its own independent review and together with any professional advisor(s) the Subscriber deemed appropriate, the Subscriber represents and acknowledges that the Subscriber has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Shares and determined that the Shares are a suitable investment for the Subscriber and that the Subscriber is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of the Subscriber’s investment in the Company. The Subscriber acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

2.1.11 The Subscriber understands and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of an investment in the Shares.

2.1.12 The Subscriber represents and warrants that the Subscriber is not (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or otherwise currently the subject or target of any sanctions administered by OFAC, the U.S. Department of State or other applicable Governmental Entity (ii) owned or controlled by, or acting on behalf of, a person that is named on the OFAC List, (iii) organized, incorporated, established, located, resident or born in, or a citizen, national or the government, including any political subdivision, agency or instrumentality thereof, of, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea region of Ukraine, the Donetsk People’s Republic region of Ukraine, the Luhansk People’s Republic region of Ukraine or any other country or territory embargoed or subject to substantial trade restrictions by the United States, (iv) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, or (v) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank. The Subscriber agrees to

use reasonable best efforts to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that the Subscriber is permitted to do so under applicable law. The Subscriber represents that if it is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), that the Subscriber maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. The Subscriber also represents that, to the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with OFAC-administered sanctions programs, including for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List. The Subscriber further represents and warrants that, to the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by the Subscriber and used to purchase the Shares (or the shares of Company Series B Preferred Stock to be exchanged for the Shares) were legally derived.

2.1.13 To the extent the Subscriber is one of the covered persons identified in Rule 506(d)(1), the Subscriber represents that no disqualifying event described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i-viii) of the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”) is applicable to the Subscriber or any of its Rule 506(d) Related Parties (as defined below), except, if applicable, for a Disqualification Event as to which Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) is applicable. The Subscriber hereby agrees that it shall notify the Company promptly in writing in the event a Disqualification Event becomes applicable to the Subscriber or any of its Rule 506(d) Related Parties, except, if applicable, for a Disqualification Event as to which Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) is applicable. For purposes of this Section 2.1.11, “Rule 506(d) Related Party” shall mean a person or entity that is a beneficial owner of the Subscriber’s securities for purposes of Rule 506(d) of the Securities Act.

2.1.14 The Subscriber agrees that, from the date of this Subscription Agreement until the Closing or the earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement, none of the Subscriber, its controlled affiliates, or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates or pursuant to any understanding with the Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates will engage in any Short Sales with respect to securities of the Company prior to the Closing. For the purposes hereof, “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), including through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers.

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 The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), with corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted and to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement.

2.2.4 The execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription Agreement (including compliance by the Company with all of the provisions hereof), issuance and sale of the Shares and the consummation of the certain other transactions contemplated herein will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Company pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject, which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial condition, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company (a “Material Adverse Effect”) or materially affect the validity of the Shares or the legal authority of the Company to comply in all material respects with the terms of this Subscription Agreement; (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of the Company; or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or materially affect the validity of the Shares or the legal authority of the Company to comply in all material respects with this Subscription Agreement.

2.2.5 Neither the Company, nor any person acting on its behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any Company security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would adversely affect reliance by the Company on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the exemption from registration for the transactions contemplated hereby or would require registration of the Shares under the Securities Act.

2.2.6 Neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf has conducted any general solicitation or general advertising (as those terms are used in Regulation D of the Securities Act) in connection with the offer or sale of any of the Shares.

The Company has complied, to the extent applicable, with any disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e) under the Securities Act. “Company Covered Person” means, with respect to the Company as an “issuer” for purposes of Rule 506 of the Securities Act, any Person listed in the first paragraph of Rule 506(d)(1) of the Securities Act.

2.2.10 As of the date of this Subscription Agreement, there are no pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, actions, which, if determined adversely, would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to enter into and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement.

5.9 Governing Law.

5.10 Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; provided, that if the Court of Chancery of Delaware declines jurisdiction or if subject matter jurisdiction over the matter that is the subject of the legal proceeding is vested exclusively in the U.S. federal courts, such legal proceeding shall be heard in, and each of the parties irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware; provided, further, that if the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware declines jurisdiction or if subject matter jurisdiction over the matter that is the subject of the legal proceeding is vested exclusively in the Delaware state courts, such legal proceeding shall be heard in, and each of the parties irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of, the Delaware state courts located in Wilmington, Delaware (together with the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware and the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, the “Chosen Courts”), in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Subscription Agreement and each other document executed in connection with the Transaction, and the consummation thereof, and agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware for such persons. Each party hereto hereby waives, and shall not assert as a defense in any legal dispute, that (i) such person is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for any reason, (ii) such legal proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in the Chosen Courts, (iii) such person’s property is exempt or immune from execution, (iv) such legal proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, or (v) the venue of such legal proceeding is improper. Each party hereto hereby agrees not to commence or prosecute any such action, claim, cause of action or suit other than before the Chosen Courts, nor to make any motion or take any other action seeking or intending to cause the transfer or removal of any such action, claim, cause of action or suit to any court other than the Chosen Courts, whether on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise. Each party hereto hereby consents to service of process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, further consents to service of process by nationally recognized overnight courier service guaranteeing overnight delivery, or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 5.3, and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such manner of service of process. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 5.10, a party hereto may commence any action, claim, cause of action or suit in a court other than the Chosen Courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by the Chosen Courts. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE

WAIVED, EACH OF THE PARTIES AND ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS ASSERTED IN ANY LEGAL DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTION, AND THE CONSUMMATION THEREOF, AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM RELATING THERETO, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NONCOMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTION, AND THE CONSUMMATION THEREOF. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

5.11 Severability. If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

5.12 No Waiver of Rights, Powers and Remedies. No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Subscription Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without such notice or demand.

5.13 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that each of the parties would suffer irreparable damage if this Subscription Agreement was not performed or the Closing is not consummated in accordance with its specific terms, or this Subscription Agreement was otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damage. It is accordingly agreed that each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to equitable relief, including in the form of an injunction or injunctions, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Subscription Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 5.10, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any party hereto is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, including money damages. The parties hereto further agree (i) to waive any requirement for the security or

posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy, (ii) not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement pursuant to this Section 5.13 is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable law or inequitable for any reason, and (iii) to waive any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 5.13 is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, the parties hereto would not have entered into this Subscription Agreement.

5.14 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made by the parties hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, if for any reason the Closing does not occur prior to the consummation of the Transaction, all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties hereto as set forth herein shall survive the consummation of the Transaction and remain in full force and effect.

5.15 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 Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in such a way as to create any liability on the other party hereto. Each of the parties hereto agrees to indemnify and hold the other party hereto 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.

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

5.17 Counterparts. This Subscription 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 email 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.

5.18 Construction. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “ without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Subscription Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Subscription Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

5.19 Mutual Drafting. This Subscription 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.

6. Disclosure. The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that the terms of this Subscription Agreement will be disclosed by the Company in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or after the date hereof and a form of this Subscription Agreement will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit thereto.

7. Legend Removal. If requested by the Subscriber, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause the removal of the restrictive legends from any Shares upon being sold under a registration statement filed by the Company registering the resale of the Shares or in accordance with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act following the time of sale of such Shares, and (ii) cause its legal counsel to deliver an opinion, if necessary, to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under subclause (i) to the effect that the removal of such restrictive legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act, in each case upon the receipt of customary representations and other documentation, if any, from the Subscriber as reasonably requested by the Company, its counsel or the transfer agent, establishing that restrictive legends are no longer required. The Subscriber agrees to disclose its beneficial ownership, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of Shares to the Company (or its successor) upon request to assist the Company in making the determination described above.

8. Trust Account Waiver. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses or assets. Subscriber further acknowledges that, as described in the Company’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated December 7, 2020 (the “Prospectus”) available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of the Company’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of Company’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of Company, its public shareholders and the underwriters of Company’s initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to Company to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of the Company entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Subscriber, on behalf of itself and its representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind they have or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account, in each case, as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement.
