The Company may amend the Registration Statement so as to convert the Registration Statement to a Registration Statement on Form F-3 at such time after the Company becomes eligible to use such Form F-3.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Company may suspend the use of any such Registration Statement if it determines that in order for such Registration Statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current or annual report under the Exchange Act; and (ii) the Company shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require any Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, (A) if any information (e.g., compensation data) is not readily available and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Company’s board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements, (B) at any time the Company is required to file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement and the SEC has not declared such amendment effective or (C) if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event, the Company’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Company in the Registration Statement of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Company’s board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”) provided, that (I) the Company shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of the Registration Statement for a period of more than ninety (90) consecutive days or more than a total of one hundred-twenty (120) calendar days in any three hundred sixty (360)-day period, (II) in case of clause (i) above, the Company shall have a bona fide business purpose for not making such information public and (III) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such Registration Statement available for the sale by Subscriber of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter.

(d) The Company’s obligations to include the Acquired Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares issued in exchange therefor) for resale in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Company held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of such Acquired Shares, which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings, as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of such Acquired Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling shareholder in similar situations; provided, however, that Subscriber 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 Acquired Shares.

7. 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 earlier to occur of (a) such date and time as the Business Combination Agreement is terminated in accordance with the terms therein, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) April 18, 2022 if the Closing has not occurred by such date other than as a result of a breach of Subscriber’s obligations hereunder, or

(d) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 2 of this Subscription Agreement are (i) not satisfied or waived prior to the Closing or (ii) not capable of being satisfied on the Closing and, in each case of (i) and (ii), as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement will not be and are not consummated at the Closing (the termination events described in clauses (a) – (d) above, collectively, the “Termination Events”); 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. The Company shall notify Subscriber in writing of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement. Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event, this Subscription Agreement shall be void and of no further effect and any monies paid by Subscriber to the Company in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) business day) following the Termination Event be returned to Subscriber.

8. Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber acknowledges that IIAC 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 IIAC’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated November 18, 2020 (the “Prospectus”), available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of IIAC’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of IIAC’s initial public offering and a 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 IIAC, its public shareholders and the underwriters of IIAC’s initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to IIAC 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 IIAC entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber, on behalf of itself and its representatives, hereby irrevocable waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind they have or may have in the future arising out of this Subscription Agreement, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8 shall be deemed to limit any Subscriber’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of such Subscriber’s record or beneficial ownership of securities of IIAC acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, including but not limited to any redemption right with respect to any such securities of the Company.

9. Miscellaneous.

(a) Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the parties hereunder (other than the Acquired Shares hereunder, if any) may be transferred or assigned without the prior written consent of each of the other parties hereto; provided that (i) this Subscription Agreement and any of Subscriber’s rights and obligations hereunder may be assigned to any fund or account managed by the same investment manager as Subscriber or by an affiliate (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act) of such investment manager without the prior consent of the Company and IIAC and (ii) Subscriber’s rights under Section 6 may be assigned to an assignee or transferee of the Acquired Shares; provided further that prior to such assignment any such assignee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms hereof; provided, that no assignment pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 9 shall relieve Subscriber of its obligations hereunder.

(b) Subscriber acknowledges that the Company, IIAC, the Placement Agents (with the Placement Agents separately as express third-party beneficiaries to this Subscription Agreement, with a right to enforce Section 3, Section 4, Section 5, Section 9, Section 10 and Section 12) and others will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement, including Schedule A hereto. Prior to the Closing, Subscriber agrees to promptly notify the Company, IIAC and the Placement Agents in writing (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by email) if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties made by Subscriber as set forth herein are no longer accurate in any material respect (other than those acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties qualified by materiality, in which case Subscriber shall notify the

Company, IIAC and the Placement Agents if they are no longer accurate in any respect). Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that each purchase by Subscriber of Acquired Shares from the Company will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein (as modified by any such notice) by Subscriber as of the time of such purchase.

(c) The Company, IIAC and the Placement Agents (each as a third-party beneficiary with a right of enforcement) are each entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and each is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby; provided, however, that the foregoing clause of this Section 9(c) shall not give the Company or the Placement Agents any rights other than those expressly set forth herein and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be entitled to rely on any of the representations and warranties of IIAC set forth in this Subscription Agreement.

(d) All the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing until the expiration of any statute of limitations under applicable law.

(e) The Company and IIAC may request from Subscriber such additional information as the Company and IIAC may reasonably deem necessary to register the resale of the Acquired Shares and evaluate the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the Acquired Shares, and Subscriber shall provide such information as may be reasonably requested, to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with its internal policies and procedures; provided, that the Company and IIAC agree to keep any such information provided by Subscriber confidential except (i) as necessary to include in any registration statement the Company is required to file hereunder, (ii) as required by the federal securities law or pursuant to other routine proceedings of regulatory authorities or (iii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law, at the request of the staff of the SEC or regulatory agency or under the regulations of any national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed for trading. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that if it does not provide the Company with such requested information, the Company may not be able to register Subscriber’s Acquired Shares for resale pursuant to Section 6 hereof. Subscriber acknowledges that the Company and IIAC may file a copy of this Subscription Agreement (or a form of this Subscription Agreement) with the SEC as an exhibit to a periodic report or a registration statement of the Company or IIAC.

(f) This Subscription Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 7 above) except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto, provided, however, that no modification or waiver by the Company or IIAC of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Company and IIAC (other than modifications or waivers that are solely ministerial in nature or otherwise immaterial and do not affect any economic or any other material term of this Subscription Agreement). No failure or delay of any 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.

(g) This Subscription Agreement (including the schedule hereto) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(h) Except as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

(i) 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.

(j) This Subscription Agreement may be executed and delivered in one (1) or more counterparts (including by electronic means, such as facsimile, in .pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000) 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) Each party shall pay all of its own expenses in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein.

(l) At any time, the Company or IIAC may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of Subscriber, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of Subscriber contained herein or in any document delivered by Subscriber pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any agreement of Subscriber or any condition to its own obligations contained herein. At any time, Subscriber may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of the Company or IIAC, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company or IIAC contained herein or in any document delivered by the Company or IIAC pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any agreement of the Company or IIAC or any condition to its own obligations contained herein.

Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that none of (i) any Other Subscriber pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or any Other Subscription Agreement related to the private placement of the Acquired Shares (including such Other Subscriber’s respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing) or (ii) the Placement Agents, their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing, shall have any liability to Subscriber, or to any Other Subscriber, pursuant to, arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement or any Other Subscription Agreement related to the private placement of the Acquired Shares, the negotiation hereof or thereof or its subject matter, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including, without limitation, with respect to any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Acquired Shares or with respect to any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of this Subscription Agreement or in respect of any written or oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, as expressly provided herein, or for any actual or alleged inaccuracies, misstatements or omissions with respect to any information or materials of any kind furnished by the Company, IIAC, the Placement Agents or any Non-Party Affiliate concerning the Company, IIAC, the Placement Agents, any of their controlled affiliates, this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 11 shall not apply to long sales (including sales of securities held by the Subscriber prior to the date of this Subscription Agreement and securities purchased by the Subscriber in the open market after the date of this Subscription Agreement) other than those effectuated through derivative transactions and similar instruments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 11 (i) shall prohibit any entities under common management with the Subscriber that have no knowledge (constructive or otherwise) of this Subscription Agreement or of Subscriber’s participation in the transactions contemplated hereby from entering into any such transactions; and (ii) in the case of a Subscriber that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Subscriber’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Subscriber’s assets, this Section 11 shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Acquired Shares hereunder.

12. Disclosure.
