For purposes of this Section 3, the term “Company” shall refer to (i) the Company as of the date hereof, and (ii) for purposes of the representations contained in subsections (e), (f), (h), (k), (o), and (q) of this Section 3 and to the extent such representations and warranties are made as of the Closing Date, the combined company after giving effect to the Transaction as of the Closing Date. The Company represents and warrants to Subscriber that:
(a) The Company (i) is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and following the Domestication, will be validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware, (ii) has the requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties, to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement, and (iii) is duly licensed or qualified to conduct its business and, if applicable, is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction (other than its jurisdiction of incorporation) in which the conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties or assets requires such license or qualification, except, with respect to the foregoing clause (iii), where the failure to be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, a “Company Material Adverse Effect” means an event, change, development, occurrence, condition or effect (collectively “Effect”) that, individually or in the aggregate, (a) is or would reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; or (b) would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially impair or materially delay (x) the Company’s or any of its subsidiary’s performance of its or their obligations under this Subscription Agreement or the Business Combination Agreement or (y) consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that, in the case of clause (a), none of the following shall be deemed to constitute, alone or in combination, or be taken into account in the determination of whether, there has been or will be a Company Material Adverse Effect: (1) any change or proposed change in or change in applicable law or GAAP (as defined below) (including, in each case, the interpretation thereof) after the date of this Subscription Agreement; (2) events or conditions generally affecting the industries or geographic areas in which the Company operates; (3) any downturn in general economic conditions, including changes in the credit, debt, securities, financial or capital markets (including changes in interest or exchange rates, prices of any security or market index or commodity or any disruption of such markets); (4) acts of war, sabotage, civil unrest or terrorism, or any escalation or worsening of any such acts of war, sabotage, civil unrest or terrorism, or changes in global, national, regional, state or local political or social conditions; (5) any hurricane, tornado, flood, earthquake, mudslide, wildfire, natural disaster, epidemic, disease outbreak, pandemic (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 and all related strains and sequences) or other acts of God, (6) any actions taken or not taken by the Company as required by this Subscription Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement or any other agreement executed and delivered in connection with the Transactions and specifically contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or (7) any Effect attributable to the announcement or execution, pendency, negotiation or consummation of the Transactions, except in the cases of clauses (1) through (3), to the extent that the Company is materially and disproportionately affected thereby as compared with other participants in the industry in which the Company operates.
(b) When issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Subscribed Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to Subscriber (or its nominee or custodian in accordance with its delivery instructions) against full payment therefor in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens or other restrictions (but excluding the restrictions on transfer described in Section 4(e) of this Subscription Agreement with respect to the status of the Subscribed Shares as “restricted securities” pending their registration for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), and will not have been issued in violation of, or subject to, any preemptive or similar rights created under the Company’s governing and organizational documents, the laws of the Cayman Islands or the laws of the State of Delaware.
