Subscriber represents that if it is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.) (the “BSA”), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), that Subscriber maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. Subscriber also represents that, to the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List. To the extent required, Subscriber maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by Subscriber and used to purchase the Acquired Shares were legally derived.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing herein shall prohibit other entities under common management with Subscriber that have no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of Subscriber’s participation in the Transaction (including Subscriber’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any Short Sales 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, the representation 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 Acquired Shares covered by this Subscription Agreement. The Company represents and warrants to the Subscriber that the Other Subscriber is bound by an agreement pursuant to the Other Subscription Agreement that is substantially identical to this Section 5.

6. Registration Rights. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall amend that certain Registration Rights Agreement to be entered into at the closing of the Transaction by the Company and the other parties thereto, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, to add Subscriber as party to the Registration Rights Agreement for the purpose of providing Subscriber with the resale shelf registration, demand, underwritten takedown and piggyback rights set forth on Annex A with respect to Subscriber’s Registrable Securities (as defined in Annex A).

7. Information Rights. From and after the closing of the Transaction and for so long as Subscriber holds Equity Securities (as such term is defined in that certain Stockholders Agreement attached as Exhibit D to the Merger Agreement to be entered into at the closing of the Transaction (the “Stockholders Agreement”)) of the Company, and if requested by Subscriber, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Subscriber (i) the information regarding the financial results and business of the Company described in Section 2.7 (Financial Information) of the Stockholders Agreement as if Subscriber were a party thereto and (ii)(x) the information delivered to the administrative agent and lenders under the Debt Financing Agreements in connection with the Debt Financing (each as defined in the Merger Agreement) (other than ministerial administrative documentation such as borrowing notices and the like) and (y) notice of an Event of Default (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, reasonably promptly after an officer of the Company becoming aware thereof.

- 14 -

and materials provided to the Board of Directors to the same extent as the directors serving on the Board of Directors at such time (which Subscriber may refuse to receive in its sole discretion); provided, however, that the Company reserves the right to withhold any information and to exclude the Observer from any meeting or portion thereof if access to such information or attendance at such meeting could adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel or result in a conflict of interest, or if reasonably required to comply with applicable law, as determined by outside counsel to the Company and upon prior notice to Subscriber. The Observer shall have no right to vote on any matter presented to the Board of Directors. Section 6.4 (Confidentiality) of the Stockholders Agreement shall apply mutatis mutandis to any information provided to the Observer pursuant to this Section 8. Subscriber acknowledges that (i) the Observer may receive material non-public information by virtue of his or her access to Company materials and attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors and (ii) Subscriber is aware that the U.S. securities laws may prohibit any person who directly or indirectly has received material, non-public information from an issuer from purchasing or selling securities of such issuer or from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities.]¹

9. Preemptive Rights. From and after the closing of the Transaction and for so long as Subscriber holds Equity Securities of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 9 and applicable securities laws, if the Company proposes to offer or sell any new shares of Class A Common Stock, shares of Preferred Stock or any other equity-linked security to any person (such new shares, the “New Securities”), the Company shall offer a pro rata portion of such New Securities to Subscriber in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) The Company shall give written notice (the “Preemptive Right Notice”) to Subscriber at least ten (10) business days in advance of the proposed sale of New Securities, stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such New Securities, (ii) the number of such New Securities to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such New Securities.

(b) By notification to the Company within five (5) business days after the Preemptive Right Notice is given (the “Preemptive Rights Election Period”), Subscriber may elect in writing (the “Preemptive Rights Exercise Notice”) to purchase or otherwise acquire, at the price and on the terms specified in the Preemptive Right Notice, up to that portion of such New Securities which equals the proportion that the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or shares of Preferred Stock, as applicable, then held by Subscriber bears to the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock or shares of Preferred Stock, as applicable, then issued and outstanding. If, at the termination of the Preemptive Rights Election Period, Subscriber has not exercised its rights under this Section 9 to purchase New Securities, Subscriber shall be deemed to have waived any and all of its rights under this Section 9 with respect to such offering of New Securities.

(c) The Company may, during the ninety (90) day period following the expiration of the Preemptive Rights Election Period, offer and sell the remaining unsubscribed portion of such New Securities to any person or persons. If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the New Securities within such period, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such New Securities shall not be offered unless first reoffered to Subscriber in accordance with this Section 9.

¹	NTD: To be included as applicable.

10. 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 Merger Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) if, on the Closing Date, any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 2 of this Subscription Agreement have not been satisfied as of the time required hereunder to be so satisfied or waived by the party entitled to grant such waiver and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated or (d) written notice by either party to the other party to terminate this Subscription Agreement if the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated on or prior to the End Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement, and, for the avoidance of doubt, giving effect to the permitted extension thereof as set forth in the Merger Agreement, but without giving effect to any subsequent amendment or waiver of the End Date) and the terminating party’s material breach was not the primary reason the Closing failed to occur by the End Date (the termination events described in clauses (a)-(d), the “Termination Events”); provided, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof (including for the avoidance of doubt any party’s willful breach of its representations and warranties hereunder) 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 such breach. The Company shall promptly notify Subscriber of the termination of the Merger Agreement promptly after such termination. Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event, any portion of the Purchase Price paid by the Subscriber to Company in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) business days) following the Termination Event be returned to Subscriber.

11. Trust Account Waiver. 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 March 3, 2021 (the “Prospectus”) available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of the Company’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of the

- 16 -

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 the Company, its public stockholders and the underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the 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, 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 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. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it shall not have any redemption rights with respect to the Acquired Shares (or the Underlying Common Shares) pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation in connection with the Transaction, any subsequent liquidation of the Trust Account or the Company or otherwise. In the event Subscriber has any claim against the Company as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Acquired Shares (or the Underlying Common Shares), it shall pursue such claim solely against the Company and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the Trust Account or any monies or other assets in the Trust Account. Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 11 to the contrary, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit Subscriber’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of Subscriber’s record or beneficial ownership of Class A Common Stock 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. This Section 11 shall survive any termination of the Subscription Agreement.

12. Miscellaneous.

From and after the closing of the Transaction, the Subscriber shall be permitted to sell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Acquired Shares, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws.

- 17 -

(d) All the covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.

Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that if it does not provide the Company with such requested information, Subscriber’s Registrable Securities may not be able to be registered for resale. Subscriber acknowledges that a copy of this Subscription Agreement may be filed as exhibit to a periodic report or registration statement.

(f) This Subscription Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated (except as set forth in Section 10) except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such modification, waiver, or termination is sought. 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.

Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, their respective successor and assigns.

(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 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. The parties hereto shall execute and deliver all such further instruments and documents and take all such other actions as may reasonably be required to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and to evidence the fulfillment of the agreements herein contained.

- 18 -

(j) This Subscription Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or 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 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 and 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.

(l) Subscriber acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person (including, without limitation, the Placement Agents, the Company or the Target) other than the statements, representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Subscription Agreement in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company.

Exhibit B

Registration Rights Agreement

Annex A

Resale Shelf Registration

The Company agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days after the consummation of the Transaction (the “Filing Deadline”), the Company will file with the SEC (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement to register under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act, the resale of all Registrable Securities (as defined below) on Form S-3 (which shall be filed pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act as a secondary-only registration statement), if the Company is then eligible for such short form, or any similar or successor short form registration or, if the Company is not then eligible for such short form registration, on Form S-1 or any similar or successor long form registration (the “Registration Statement”). The Company will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to Subscriber for review at least three (3) business days in advance of filing the Registration Statement, and shall advise Subscriber upon the Registration Statement being declared effective by the SEC. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) sixty (60) calendar days following the Filing Deadline (or ninety (90) calendar days after the Filing Deadline if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) and (ii) the 10^th business day after the date the Company 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 comments from the SEC (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, however, that if the SEC is closed for operations due to a governmental shutdown, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended by the same amount of days that the SEC remains closed for operations.

“Registrable Securities” shall mean for purposes of this Subscription Agreement, as of any date of determination, the Acquired Common Shares and the Underlying Common Shares (collectively, the “Registrable Acquired Shares”) and any other equity security of the Company issued or issuable with respect to the Registrable Acquired Shares by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event or otherwise, provided that, as to any particular Registrable Securities, once issued, such securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities (i) when they are sold, transferred, disposed or exchanged pursuant to an effective Registration Statement under the Securities Act, (ii) the earliest of such time that such holder has disposed such securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), (iii) when they shall have ceased to be outstanding or (iv) when such securities have been sold in a private transaction in which the transferor’s rights are not assigned to the transferee of such securities.

Long-form Demands
