the benefit of the holders of Company Securities, for exchange in accordance with this Article III, an instrument or instruments
representing the number of shares of Closing Payment Shares and Earnout Shares issuable by Parent pursuant to Section 3.01 (collectively,
the “Exchange Fund”). As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, Newco shall cause the Exchange Agent, pursuant
to irrevocable instructions, to pay the Merger Consideration out of the Exchange Fund in accordance with the Merger Payment Schedule
and the other applicable provisions contained in this Agreement. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.
(b)
Exchange Procedures. As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, and in any event within two (2) Business
Days following the Effective Time (but in no event prior to the Effective Time), Newco shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver to each
holder of Company Securities (including shares of Company Common Stock resulting from the conversion of shares of Company Preferred Stock),

any share or stock split, reverse share or stock split, share or stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification,
combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Parent Ordinary Shares or shares of Newco Common Stock, as applicable,
occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent
permitted
by applicable Law, become the property of Newco free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.
(f)
No Liability. None of the Exchange Agent, Newco or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of Company Securities

delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law in accordance with this Section 3.02.
(g)
Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip or shares representing fractional shares of Newco Common Stock shall be issued
upon the exchange of Company Securities and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to have any
rights of a stockholder of Parent or a holder of shares of Newco Common Stock. In lieu of any fractional share of Newco Common Stock
to which any holder of Company Securities would otherwise be entitled, the Exchange Agent shall round up or down to the nearest whole
share of Newco Common Stock, as applicable, with a fraction of 0.5 and greater rounded up. No cash settlements shall be made with respect

of such shares of Company Capital Stock under Section 262 of the DGCL. Any stockholder of the Company who fails to perfect or who effectively
withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted

thereon.

Prior to the Closing, the Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal or, to the extent applicable,
demands for dissenters’ rights received by the Company and any withdrawals or attempted withdrawals of such demands, and (ii) the
opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall

(a)
Parent has filed all forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents, including any exhibits thereto, required to be
filed by it with the SEC, together with any amendments, restatements or supplements thereto (collectively, the “Parent SEC Reports”).
Parent has heretofore furnished to the Company true and correct copies of all amendments and modifications that have not been filed by
Parent with the SEC to all agreements, documents and other instruments that previously had been filed by Parent with the SEC and are
currently in effect. As of their respective dates, the Parent SEC Reports (i) complied in all material respects with the applicable
requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder
(the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), and (ii) did not, at the time they were filed, or, if amended, as of the date of
such amendment, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or
necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
Each director and executive officer of Parent has filed with the SEC on a timely basis all documents required with respect to Parent
by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.
(b)
Each of the financial statements (including, in each case, any notes thereto) contained in the Parent SEC Reports was prepared
in accordance with GAAP (applied on a consistent basis) and Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K, as applicable, throughout the periods

of the SEC) and each fairly presents, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders
equity and cash flows of Parent as at the respective dates thereof and for the respective periods indicated therein, (subject, in the
case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end adjustments which would not reasonably be expected to individually or in the aggregate
be material). Parent has no off-balance sheet arrangements that are not disclosed in the Parent SEC Reports. No financial statements
other than those of Parent are required by GAAP to be included in the consolidated financial statements of Parent.
(c)
Except as and to the extent set forth in the Parent SEC Reports, neither Parent nor Merger Sub has any material liability or obligation
of a nature (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise), except for liabilities and obligations arising in the ordinary course
of Parent’s and Merger Sub’s business consistent with past practice or incurred in connection with the Transactions.
(d)
Parent is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of
NYSE.
(e)
Parent has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act).
Such disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that material information relating to Parent and other material
information required to be disclosed by Parent in the reports and other documents that it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that all such material
information is accumulated and communicated to Parent’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer as appropriate
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications required pursuant to Sections 302 and 906
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
(f)
Parent has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting (as such
terms are defined in paragraphs (e) and (f), respectively, of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act and the listing standards of the NYSE).
Parent’s disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure (i) the reliability of Parent’s financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in material conformity with GAAP and (ii) that material information
relating to Parent is accumulated and communicated to Parent’s management as appropriate. Since Parent’s formation, there
have been no significant deficiencies or material weakness in Parent’s internal control over financial reporting (whether or not
remediated) and no change in Parent’s control over financial reporting
that
has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Parent’s internal control over financial reporting.
(g)
Neither Parent nor any employee or, to the knowledge of Parent, any independent auditor of Parent has identified or been made
aware of (i) any significant deficiency or material weakness in the system of internal accounting controls utilized by Parent, (ii) any
fraud, whether or not material, that involves Parent’s management or other employees who have a role in the preparation of financial
statements or the internal accounting controls utilized by Parent or (iii) any claim or allegation regarding any of the foregoing.

Company and the negotiation and execution of this Agreement) and related activities, (b) there has not been any Parent Material
Adverse Effect, and (c) except as set forth in the Parent SEC Reports filed prior to the date of this Agreement, Parent has not taken
any action that, if taken after the date of this Agreement, would constitute a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Section

of Litigation. There is no Action (other than investigations) or, to the knowledge of Parent, investigations, pending or, to the
knowledge of Parent, threatened against Parent, or any property or asset of Parent, before any Governmental Authority or that challenges
or seeks to prevent or enjoin the Transactions. Neither Parent nor any material property or asset of Parent is subject to any continuing
order of, consent decree, settlement agreement or other similar written agreement with, or, to the knowledge of Parent, continuing investigation

or any Affiliate of the Sponsor.
SECTION

based upon and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and other matters considered in connection with the preparation
of such opinion, the Closing Payment Shares to be issued by Parent in the
Transaction
pursuant to this Agreement, is fair, from a financial point of view, to Parent, a copy of which opinion will be made available to the
Company solely for informational purposes.
SECTION
5.14 Trust
Account. As of the date of this Agreement, Parent has (and, assuming no holders of Parent Ordinary Shares exercise the Redemption
Rights, will have immediately prior to the Closing) no less than $402,500,000 in the trust fund established by Parent for the benefit
of its Public Shareholders (the “Trust Fund”) maintained in a trust account (the “Trust Account”).
The monies of such Trust Account are invested in United States Government securities or money market funds meeting certain conditions
under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and held in trust by Continental Stock Transfer
& Trust Company (the “Trustee”) pursuant to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of March 22, 2021,
between Parent and the Trustee (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trust Agreement has not been terminated, repudiated, rescinded,
amended, supplemented or modified, in any respect, and no such termination, repudiation, rescission, amendment, supplement or modification
is contemplated, and is valid and in full force and effect, is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent and the Trustee, and is
enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the Remedies Exceptions. Parent has complied in all material respects with the terms
of the Trust Agreement and is not in claimed or actual material breach thereof or material default thereunder and, to the knowledge of
Parent, there does not exist under the Trust Agreement any event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, would constitute
such a material breach or default by Parent or the Trustee. There are no separate Contracts, agreements, side letters or other understandings
(whether written or unwritten, express or implied) with the Trustee or any other person: (i) that would cause the description of
the Trust Agreement in the Parent SEC Reports to be inaccurate in any material respect; or (ii) that would entitle any person (other
than (x) shareholders of Parent who shall have elected to redeem their shares of Parent Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Parent
Governing Document and (y) any underwriters in connection with Parent’s initial public offering which may be entitled to deferred
underwriting discounts and commissions specified in the Prospectus) to any portion of the proceeds in the Trust Account. Prior to the
Closing, none of the funds held in the Trust Account may be released except: (A) to pay income and franchise Taxes from any interest
income earned in the Trust Account; and (B) upon the exercise of Redemption Rights in accordance with the provisions of the Parent
Governing Document. As of the date hereof, there are no Actions pending or, to the knowledge of Parent, threatened in writing with respect
to the Trust Account. As of the date hereof, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company herein and the
compliance by the Company with its respective obligations hereunder, Parent has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to the
use of funds in the Trust Account will not be satisfied or funds available in the Trust Account will not be available to Parent at the
Effective Time.
SECTION
5.15 Employees.
Other than any consultants and advisors engaged in the ordinary course of business, Parent and Merger Sub do not employ, and have not
employed, any employees and have not retained any contractors. Other than reimbursement of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Parent’s
officers and directors in connection with activities on Parent’s behalf in an aggregate amount not in excess of the amount of cash

respect to any officer or director. Parent and Merger Sub do not maintain, sponsor, contribute to or otherwise have any liability, and
have never maintained, sponsored, contributed to or otherwise had any liability, under any Employee Benefit Plan. Neither the execution
and delivery of this
Agreement
or the other Ancillary Agreements nor the consummation of the Transactions will: (a) result in any payment (including severance, unemployment
compensation, golden parachute, bonus or otherwise) becoming due to any director, officer or employee of Parent; or (b) result in the
acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such benefits. The Transactions shall not be the direct or indirect cause of any
amount paid or payable by the Parent or the Merger Sub being classified as an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G
of the Code.

SECTION
6.03 Claims
Against Trust Account. Reference is made to the final prospectus of Parent, dated as of March 22, 2021 and filed with the SEC (File
Nos. 333-253097 and 333-254598) on March 24, 2021 (the “Prospectus”). The Company hereby represents and warrants that
it has read the Prospectus and understands that Parent has established the Trust Account containing the proceeds of its initial public
offering (the “IPO”) and the overallotment shares acquired by its underwriters and from certain private placements
occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of Parent’s public
shareholders (including overallotment shares acquired by Parent’s underwriters the “Public Shareholders”), and
that, except as otherwise described in the Prospectus, Parent may disburse monies from the Trust Account only for the express purposes
set forth in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of Parent entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, the Company does not now nor shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or
to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom),
as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement and any negotiations, Contracts or agreements between Parent
or its Representatives, on the one hand, and the Company or its Representatives, on the other hand, regardless of whether such claim
arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter
as the “Released Claims”). The Company hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that the Company may have against
the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including
any distributions therefrom) with respect to any Released Claims (including for an alleged breach of this Agreement or any other agreement
with Parent or its Affiliates); provided, however, that the foregoing waiver will not limit or prohibit the Company from
pursuing a claim against Parent, Merger Sub or any other person (a) for legal relief against monies or other assets of Parent (or any
successor entity) or Merger Sub held outside of the Trust Account or for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection
with the Transactions or (b) for damages for breach of this Agreement against Parent (or any successor
entity)
or Merger Sub, including claims against any funds distributed from the Trust Account to Parent or any successor entity thereof after
the completion of Parent’s Business Combination (as defined in the Prospectus) (but such claim shall not be against the Trust Account

SECTION
7.02 Parent
Holders’ Meeting and Merger Sub Stockholder’s Approval.
(a)
Parent shall call and hold the Parent Holders’ Meeting as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement becomes
effective (but in any event no later than thirty (30) days after the date on which the Registration Statement becomes effective) for
the purpose of voting solely upon the Parent Proposals. The Parent Board shall unanimously recommend to Parent’s shareholders that
they approve the Parent Proposals and shall include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement; provided, that the Parent Board
may make a withdrawal of such recommendation or an amendment, qualification or modification of such recommendation solely to the extent
it has determined, upon the advice of counsel, that a Company Material Adverse Effect has occurred, and that doing so is required in
order to comply with its fiduciary duties. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.02(a), Parent shall
have the right to (and in the case of the following clauses (ii) and (iii), at the request of the Company, Parent shall)
make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of the Parent Holders’ Meeting, in each case, to the extent required
(i) to ensure that any supplement or amendment is made to the Proxy Statement that Parent, after reasonable consultation with the
Company, has determined in good faith is required to satisfy the conditions of Section 7.01 or any other applicable Law or (ii) if
on a date for which the Parent Holders’ Meeting is scheduled, Parent has not received proxies representing a sufficient number
of Parent Ordinary Shares to obtain the Parent Holder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present, (iii) if, as of the time for which
the Parent Holders’ Meeting is scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement), there are insufficient Parent Ordinary Shares represented
(either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business to be conducted at the Parent Holders’
Meeting or (iv) if, as of the deadline for electing redemption by holders of Parent Class A Ordinary Shares in accordance with the Parent
Governing Document, the number of shares being redeemed would cause the condition to Closing set forth in Section 8.03(e) to not
be satisfied; provided, that Parent shall reconvene such Parent Holders’ Meeting as promptly as practicable following such
time as the matters described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) have been resolved, and in no
event shall the Parent Holders’ Meeting be (x) postponed or adjourned for more than (A) ten Business Days for any individual postponement
or adjournment or (B) except for any postponement or adjournment pursuant to clause (i), more than twenty Business Days in the aggregate
or (y) reconvened on a date that is later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Outside Date. Parent shall use its reasonable best
efforts to obtain the Parent Holder
Approval
at the Parent Holders’ Meeting, including by soliciting from its shareholders proxies as promptly as possible in favor of the Parent
Proposals, and shall take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the required vote or consent of its shareholders.
(b)
Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Parent shall approve and adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger and the
other Transactions in its capacity as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Sole Stockholder Approval”).
SECTION
7.03 Company
Stockholder Approval. Upon the terms set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall (a) seek the irrevocable written consent, in
form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, of holders of the Requisite Approval (including the Requisite Stockholders) in favor
of the approval and adoption of this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions (the “Written Consent”) as soon
as reasonably practicable after the Registration Statement becomes effective and (b) in the event the Company determines it is not able
to obtain the Written Consent, the Company shall call and hold a meeting of holders of shares of Company Capital Stock for the purpose
of voting solely upon the adoption of this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions (the “Company Stockholders Meeting”)
as soon as reasonably practicable after the Registration Statement becomes effective. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts
to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval at the Company Stockholders Meeting, including by soliciting from its stockholders proxies
as promptly as possible in favor of this Agreement and the Merger, and shall take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the
Company Stockholder Approval. The Company Board shall recommend to its stockholders that they approve this Agreement and the Merger.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to pay any additional
consideration to any stockholder of the Company in order to obtain the Written Consent.
SECTION
7.04 Access
to Information; Confidentiality.
(a)
From the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, the Company and Parent shall (and shall cause their respective subsidiaries
to): (i) provide to the other party (and the other party’s officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, accountants,
consultants, legal counsel, agents and other advisors or representatives, collectively, “Representatives”) reasonable
access at reasonable times upon prior notice to the officers, employees, agents, properties, offices and other facilities of such party
and its Subsidiaries and to the books and records thereof; and (ii) furnish promptly to the other party such information concerning
the business, properties, contracts, assets, liabilities, personnel and other aspects of such party and its Subsidiaries as the other
party or its Representatives may reasonably request, including in connection with any Tax disclosure in any statement, filing, notice
or application relating to the Intended Tax Treatment or any Tax opinion requested or required to be filed pursuant to Section 7.11(c).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor Parent shall be required to provide access to or disclose information where the
access or disclosure would jeopardize the protection of attorney-client privilege, violate contractual arrangements or contravene applicable
Law (it being agreed that the parties hereto shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause such information to be provided in a manner
that would not result in such jeopardy or contravention).
(b)
All information obtained by the parties hereto pursuant to this Section 7.04 shall be kept confidential in accordance
with the non-disclosure agreement, dated as of June 7, 2021 (the “Non-Disclosure Agreement”), between Parent and the
Company.
(c)
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each party (and its respective Representatives) may consult any Tax
advisor as is reasonably necessary regarding the Tax treatment and Tax structure of the Transactions and may disclose to such advisor
as reasonably necessary, the intended Tax treatment and Tax structure of the Transactions and all materials (including any Tax analysis)
that are provided relating to such treatment or structure, in each case in accordance with the Non-Disclosure Agreement.
SECTION
7.05 Exclusivity.
From the date of this Agreement and ending on the earlier of (a) the Closing and (b) the termination of this Agreement, the
parties hereto shall not, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives not to, directly
or indirectly, (i) enter into, solicit, initiate or continue any discussions or negotiations with, or knowingly encourage or respond
to any inquiries or proposals by, or participate in any negotiations with, or provide any information to, or otherwise cooperate in any
way with, any person or other entity or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), concerning
any sale of any material assets of such party or any of its outstanding capital stock or any conversion, merger, consolidation, liquidation,
recapitalization, dissolution or similar transaction involving such party or any of such party’s Subsidiaries other than with the
other parties to this Agreement and their respective Representatives (an “Alternative Transaction”), (ii) enter
into any agreement regarding, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions regarding, or furnish to any person any information
with respect to, or cooperate in any way that would otherwise reasonably be expected to lead to, any Alternative Transaction or (iii) commence,
continue or renew any due diligence investigation regarding any Alternative Transaction. Each party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries
and its and their respective Affiliates and Representatives to, immediately cease any and all existing discussions or negotiations with
any
person
conducted heretofore with respect to any Alternative Transaction. Each party will promptly request each person (other than the parties
hereto and their respective Representatives) that has prior to the date hereof been provided with Confidential Information in connection
with its consideration of an Alternative Transaction to return or destroy all such Confidential Information furnished to such person
by or on behalf of it. If a party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective Representatives receives any inquiry or
proposal with respect to an Alternative Transaction at any time prior to the Closing, then such party shall promptly (and in no event
later than twenty-four (24) hours after such party becomes aware of such inquiry or proposal) notify such person in writing that
such party is subject to an exclusivity agreement with respect to the Transaction that prohibits such party from considering such inquiry
or proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.05
by a party or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their respective Affiliates or Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of
this Section 7.05 by such party.
SECTION
7.06 Employee
Benefits Matters.
(a)
Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and each of its subsidiaries to use
commercially reasonable efforts, as applicable, to provide the employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries who remain employed
immediately after the Effective Time (the “Continuing Employees”) credit for purposes of eligibility to participate,
vesting and determining the level of benefits, as applicable, under any Employee Benefit Plan established or maintained by the Surviving
Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (excluding any retiree health plans or programs or defined benefit retirement plans or programs)
for service accrued or deemed accrued prior to the Effective Time with the Company or any Company Subsidiary; provided, however,
that such crediting of service shall not operate to duplicate any benefit or the funding of any such benefit. In addition, Parent shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause to be waived any eligibility waiting periods, any evidence of insurability requirements
and the application of any pre-existing condition limitations under each of the Employee Benefit Plans established or maintained by the
Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries that cover the Continuing Employees or their dependents, and (ii) cause any eligible
expenses incurred by any Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, during the portion of the plan year in which the Closing
occurs, under those health and welfare benefit plans in which such Continuing Employee currently participates to be taken into account
under those health and welfare benefit plans in which such Continuing Employee participates subsequent to the Closing Date for purposes
of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance, and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her
covered dependents for the applicable plan year. Following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation will honor all accrued but unused vacation,
sick leave and other paid time off of the Continuing Employees that existed immediately prior to the Closing with respect to the calendar
year in which the Closing occurs. As a condition to Parent’s obligations under this Section 7.06(a), the Company shall provide
Parent or its designee with all information reasonably requested and necessary to allow Parent or its designee to comply with such obligations.
(b)
The Company shall cause all notices to be timely provided to each optionee under the Company Equity Incentive Plan as required
by the Company Equity Incentive Plan.
(c)
The provisions of this Section 7.06 are solely for the benefit of the parties to the Agreement, and nothing contained
in this Agreement, express or implied, shall confer upon any Continuing Employee or legal representative or beneficiary or dependent
thereof, or any other person, any rights or remedies of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, whether as
a third-party beneficiary or otherwise, including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period, or level
of compensation or benefits. Nothing contained in this Agreement, express or implied, shall constitute an amendment or modification of
any Employee Benefit Plan or other employee benefit arrangement or shall require the Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any
of its subsidiaries to continue any Plan or other employee benefit arrangements, or prevent their amendment, modification or termination.
(d)
As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, subject to approval of the Pre-Closing Parent Holders, Parent and Newco,
as applicable, shall adopt and implement the New Incentive Plan and the New Stock Purchase Plan.
SECTION
7.07 Directors’
and Officers’ Indemnification.
(a)
The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall each contain provisions no less favorable with
respect to indemnification, advancement or expense reimbursement than are set forth in the Company Certificate of Incorporation or the
bylaws of the Company as of the date of this Agreement, which provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving
Corporation shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in any manner
that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees,
fiduciaries or agents of the Company (each, an “Indemnitee”), unless such modification shall be required by applicable
Law. From and after the Effective Time, Parent agrees that it shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee against any costs or
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection
with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or
pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective
Time, to the fullest extent that the Company would have been permitted under applicable Law, the Company Certificate of Incorporation
or the bylaws of the Company, each as in effect on the date of this Agreement, to indemnify such Indemnitee (including the advancing
of expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law).
(b)
From the Closing Date, and for a period of six years from the Effective Time, Parent shall maintain in effect directors’
and officers’ liability insurance covering those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and
officers’ liability insurance policy on terms not less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage, except that
in no event shall Parent be required to pay an annual premium for (or an increase in premium due to) such insurance in excess of 300%
of the aggregate annual premium payable by the Company for such insurance policy for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Maximum
Annual Premium”); provided, however, that if any claim is asserted or made within such six (6) year period, any
insurance required to be maintained under this Section 7.07(b) shall be continued in respect of such claim until the final disposition
thereof.
(c)
Parent shall (i) cause coverage to be extended under its current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy
by obtaining a six (6) year “tail” policy containing terms not materially less favorable than the terms of such current insurance
coverage with respect to claims existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and (ii) if any claim is asserted or made within
such six (6) year period, any insurance required to be maintained under this Section 7.07(c) shall be continued in respect of
such claim until the final disposition thereof.
(d)
On the Closing Date, to the extent not already entered into, Parent shall enter into customary indemnification agreements reasonably
satisfactory to each of the Company and Parent with the post-Closing directors and officers of Newco, which indemnification agreements
shall continue to be effective following the Closing. Prior to the Closing, Parent and the Company shall use their commercially reasonable
efforts to ensure that Parent shall, with effectiveness from and after the Closing, obtain directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance covering the persons who will be directors and officers of Parent and its Subsidiaries from and after the Closing and thereafter
on terms that are consistent with market standards.
(e)
If Parent or, after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with
or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers
or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper
provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, assume the obligations
set forth in this Section 7.07.
SECTION
7.08 Notification
of Certain Matters. Each of the Company and Parent shall give prompt notice to the other party of: (a) any Action or investigation
that would have been required to be disclosed to the other party under this Agreement if such party had knowledge of it as of the date
hereof; (b) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event whose occurrence or non-occurrence, as the case may be, could reasonably be
expected to cause any condition set forth in Article VIII not to be satisfied at any time from the date of this Agreement
to the Effective Time; (c) any notice or other communication from any third Person alleging that the consent of such third Person is
or may be required in connection with the Merger or the other Transactions; (d) without limiting Section 7.13, any regulatory notice
or report from a Governmental Authority in respect of the Transactions; and (e) in the case of the Company, any information or knowledge
obtained by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to materially affect the Company’s
or any of the Company Subsidiary’s current projections, forecasts or budgets or estimates of revenues, earnings or other measures
of financial performance for any period.
SECTION
7.09 Further
Action; Reasonable Best Efforts.
(a)
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts
to take, or cause to be taken, appropriate action, and to do, or cause to be done, such things as are necessary, proper or advisable
under applicable Laws or otherwise, and each shall cooperate with the other, to consummate and make effective the Transactions, including
using its reasonable best efforts to obtain all permits, consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders of, and the expiration
or termination of waiting periods by, Governmental Authorities and parties to contracts with the Company and the Company Subsidiaries
as set forth in Section 4.05 necessary for the consummation of the Transactions and
to
fulfill the conditions to the Merger. In case, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to
carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the proper officers and directors of each party shall use their reasonable best efforts to
take all such action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein (including Section 7.13) shall require the Company to incur
any liability or expense (other than de minimis costs and expenses) or subject itself or its business to any imposition of any
limitation on the ability to conduct its business or to own or exercise control of its assets or properties.
(b)
Each of the parties hereto shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, keep each other reasonably apprised of the status
of matters relating to the Transactions, including promptly notifying the other parties hereto of any material substantive communication
it or any of its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Authority relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement and
permitting the other parties hereto to review in advance, and to the extent practicable consult about, any proposed substantive communication
by such party to any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions. No party to this Agreement shall agree to participate
in any substantive meeting, video or telephone conference, or other substantive communications with any Governmental Authority in respect
of any filings, investigation or other inquiry unless it has given the other parties a reasonable opportunity to consult with it in advance
and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other parties hereto or their outside counsel the opportunity
to attend and participate at such meeting, conference or other communications. Subject to the terms of the Non-Disclosure Agreement and
to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the parties hereto will coordinate and reasonably cooperate with each other in exchanging
such information and providing such assistance as the other parties hereto may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing. Subject
to the terms of the Non-Disclosure Agreement and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the parties hereto will provide each other
with copies of all material substantive correspondence, filings or communications, including any documents, information and data contained
therewith, between them or any of their Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority, on the other hand, with respect
to this Agreement and the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, materials required to be provided pursuant to this Section
7.09(b) may be restricted to outside legal counsel and may be redacted (i) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements,
and (ii) to remove references to privileged information. No party shall take or cause to be taken any action before any Governmental
Authority that is inconsistent with or intended to delay its action on requests for a consent or the consummation of the Transactions.
SECTION
7.10 Public
Announcements; Form 8-K Filings. The initial press release relating to this Agreement shall be a joint press release, the text of
which has been agreed to by each of Parent and the Company. Parent and the Company shall cooperate in good faith with respect to the
prompt preparation by Parent of, and, as promptly as practicable after the effective date of this Agreement (but in any event within
four (4) Business Days thereafter), Parent shall file with the SEC, a Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act to report
the execution of this Agreement as of its effective date. Thereafter, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date (or the
earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX) unless otherwise prohibited by applicable Law, each
of Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with
respect to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other Transactions, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public
statement without the prior written consent of the other party,
except
(a) communications consistent with the final form of joint press release announcing the Transactions and the investor presentation given
to investors in connection with the announcement of the Transactions or (b) as may be required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant
to any listing agreement with or rules of the NYSE. Prior to the Closing, Parent and the Company shall mutually agree upon and prepare
the press release announcing the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Closing Press Release”).
Concurrently with or promptly after the Closing, Parent shall issue the Closing Press Release. Parent and the Company shall cooperate
in good faith with respect to the preparation by the Company of, and, at least five (5) days prior to the Closing, the Company shall
prepare, a draft Form 8-K announcing the Closing, together with, or incorporating by reference, the required pro forma financial statements
and the historical financial statements prepared by the Company and its accountant (the “Completion 8-K”). Concurrently
with the Closing, or as soon as practicable (but in any event within four Business Days) thereafter, Newco shall file the Completion
8-K with the SEC. Nothing contained in this Section 7.10 shall prevent Parent or the Company or their respective Affiliates
from furnishing customary or other reasonable information concerning the Transactions to their investors and prospective investors that
is substantively consistent with public statements previously consented to by the other party in accordance with this Section 7.10.
SECTION
7.11 Tax
Matters.
(a)
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, each of the Domestication and the Merger is intended to constitute a “reorganization”
within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (collectively, the “Intended Tax Treatment”). The parties to this
Agreement hereby: (i) adopt this Agreement insofar as it relates to the Merger as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning
of Section 1.368-2(g) of the United States Treasury regulations, (ii) adopt this Agreement insofar as it relates to the Domestication
as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 1.368-2(g) of the United States Treasury regulations, (iii) agree
to file and retain such information as shall be required under Section 1.368-3 of the United States Treasury regulations, and (iv) agree
to file all Tax and other informational returns on a basis consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment unless otherwise required by a
“determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that each
such party and each of the stockholders of the Company (x) has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal and tax advice with respect
to the Transactions, and (y) is responsible for paying its own Taxes, including any adverse Tax consequences that may result if the Merger
is determined not to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code.
(b)
None of Newco, Parent, Merger Sub or the Company shall (and each shall cause its Affiliates not to) take any action (or fail to
take any reasonable action) which action (or failure to act), whether before or after the Effective Time, would reasonably be expected
to prevent or impede the Intended Tax Treatment.
(c)
Each party shall promptly notify the other party in writing if, before the Closing Date, such party knows or has reason to believe
that the Merger may not qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment (and whether the terms of this Agreement could be reasonably amended in
order to facilitate the Merger qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment). In the event that in connection with the preparation and filing
of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement the SEC requests or requires tax opinions, each party shall use reasonable best efforts
to execute and deliver
customary
tax representation letters to Sidley Austin LLP and/or Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as relevant, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to such advisor dated and executed as of the date the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement shall have been declared effective by
the SEC and such other date(s) as determined reasonably necessary by such advisor in connection with the preparation and filing of the
Registration Statement / Proxy Statement. In the event the Company seeks a tax opinion from its tax advisor regarding the Intended Tax
Treatment, the parties shall use reasonable best efforts to execute and deliver customary tax representation letters to its tax advisor,
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such advisor.
(d)
Newco will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Pre-Closing Parent Holders information that is reasonably required
to (i) determine the amount that is required to be taken into income in connection with Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(b)-3 as a
result of the Domestication; (ii) make the election contemplated by Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(b)-3(c)(3); and (iii) make a timely
and valid election as contemplated by Section 1295 of the Code (and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) with respect to
Parent for each year that Parent is considered a passive foreign investment company (including through provision of the Annual Information
Statement described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1295-1(g)).

notwithstanding any requisite approval and adoption of this Agreement and the Transactions by the equityholders of the Company or Parent,
as follows:
(a)
by mutual written consent of Parent and the Company;
(b)
by either Parent or the Company if the Effective Time shall not have occurred prior to July 31, 2022 (the “Outside Date”);
provided, however, that this Agreement may not be terminated under this Section 9.01(b) by or on behalf of
any party that is in breach or violation of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation contained herein and such
breach or violation is the principal cause of the failure of a condition set forth in Article VIII on or prior to the Outside
Date;
(c)
by either Parent or the Company if any Governmental Authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any
injunction, order, decree or ruling (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which has become final and nonappealable and has the
effect of making consummation of the Transactions, including the Merger, illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation
of the Transactions, including the Merger;

by either Parent or the Company if any of the Parent Proposals shall fail to receive the requisite vote for approval at the Parent

(e)
by Parent upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement,
or if any representation or warranty of the Company shall have become untrue, in either case, such that the conditions set forth in Sections 8.02(a)
and 8.02(b) would not be satisfied at the Closing (“Terminating Company Breach”); provided that
Parent and Merger Sub are not then in breach of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement, which breach
would cause any condition in Section 8.03(a) or Section 8.03(b) not to be satisfied; provided, however, that,
if such Terminating Company Breach is curable by the Company, Parent may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(e)
for so long as the Company continues to exercise its reasonable efforts to cure such breach, unless such breach is not cured within
thirty (30) days (or any shorter period of the time that remains between the date Parent provides written notice of such breach
and the Outside Date) after notice of such breach is provided by Parent to the Company; or
(f)
by the Company upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Parent and Merger Sub set forth
in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Parent and Merger Sub shall have become untrue, in either case, such that
the conditions set forth in Sections 8.03(a) and 8.03(b) would not be satisfied at the Closing (“Terminating
Parent Breach”); provided that the Company is not then in breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements
in this Agreement, which breach would cause
any
condition in Section 8.02(a) or Section 8.02(b) not to be satisfied; provided, however, that, if such Terminating
Parent Breach is curable by Parent and Merger Sub, the Company may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(f)
for so long as Parent and Merger Sub continue to exercise their reasonable efforts to cure such breach, unless such breach is not cured
within thirty (30) days (or any shorter period of the time that remains between the date Company provides written notice of such
breach and the Outside Date) after notice of such breach is provided by the Company to Parent.
The party desiring
to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01 (other than Section 9.01(a)) shall give written notice of
such termination to each other party.

of this Agreement.
SECTION

This Agreement may be amended in writing by the parties hereto at any time prior to the Effective Time; provided that, after the
Parent Holder Approval has been obtained, there shall be no amendment or modification that would require the further approval of the

by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

any liabilities (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute whether by or through attempted piercing

SECTION
10.14 Waiver
of Conflicts. Recognizing that Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP (“Davis Polk”) has acted as legal counsel to Parent,
Merger Sub, Sponsor, certain Parent security holders and certain of their respective Affiliates prior to the Closing, and that Davis
Polk may act as legal counsel to Parent, the Surviving Corporation and one or more of its subsidiaries, Sponsor, certain Parent security
holders and certain of their respective Affiliates after the Closing, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation (including on behalf
of the Surviving Corporation’s subsidiaries) hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive, any
conflicts that may arise in connection with Davis Polk’s representing Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, or any of
its subsidiaries, Sponsor, any Parent, security holder and any of their respective Affiliates after to the Closing. In addition, all
communications involving attorney-client confidences by or among Parent, Merger Sub, Sponsor, Parent security holders or their respective
Affiliates in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the Transactions will be deemed to be attorney-client
confidences that belong solely to Sponsor, such Parent security holder or such Affiliate (and not to Parent, the Surviving Corporation
or any of its subsidiaries). Accordingly, Parent and the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, will not have access to any such
communications, or to the files of Davis Polk relating to such engagement, whether or not the Closing will have occurred. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (i) Sponsor or the applicable Parent security holder and its Affiliates
(and
not Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries) will be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect
to such engagement, and none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and its subsidiaries will be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent
that files of Davis Polk in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only Sponsor, the applicable Parent security
holder or their respective Affiliates (and not Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries) will hold such property
rights and (iii) Davis Polk will have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files
to Parent after the Closing and before or after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries by reason of any attorney-client
relationship between Davis Polk and Parent and Merger Sub before the Closing and after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation and any
of its subsidiaries or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Parent, the Surviving Corporation
or any of its subsidiaries and a third party (other than a party to this Agreement or any of their respective Affiliates) after the Closing,
Parent and the Surviving Corporation (including on behalf of its subsidiaries) may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure
of confidential communications by Davis Polk to such third party; provided, however, that neither Parent, the Surviving
Corporation, nor any of its subsidiaries may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Sponsor.

Annex I
Earnout Merger
Consideration
$12.50 Earnout Shares and $15.00 Earnout Shares
This
Annex I sets forth the terms for the vesting and forfeiture of the $12.50 Earnout Shares and $15.00 Earnout Shares (each
as defined below), as applicable. Terms used but not defined in this Annex I shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms
in the other parts of this Agreement to which this Annex I is a part.
1.
7,000,000 of the Earnout Shares (such number of shares being referred to as the “$12.50 Earnout Shares”) will
automatically vest if the Stock Price equals or exceeds $12.50 per share on any twenty (20) Trading Days (which may be consecutive or
not consecutive) within any consecutive thirty (30) Trading Day period that occurs after the Closing Date and on or prior to the ten
(10) year anniversary of the Closing Date (the first occurrence of the foregoing is referred to herein as the “$12.50 Share
Price Milestone” and the ten (10) year period following the Closing Date is referred to herein as the “Earnout Period”).
2.
7,000,000 of the Earnout Shares (such number of shares being referred to as the “$15.00 Earnout Shares”), and
if not previously vested, all of the $12.50 Earnout Shares, will automatically vest if the Stock Price equals or exceeds $15.00 per share
on any twenty (20) Trading Days (which may be consecutive or not consecutive) within any consecutive thirty (30) Trading Day period that
occurs after the Closing Date and on or prior to the expiration of the Earnout Period (the first occurrence of the foregoing is referred
to herein as the “$15.00 Share Price Milestone” and, each of the $15.00 Share Price Milestone and the $12.50 Share
Price Milestone, a “Milestone”).
3.
Subject to the limitations contemplated herein, each holder of Company Securities as of immediately prior to the Effective Time
shall have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Earnout Shares, including the right to receive dividends and to vote
such shares; provided, that, subject to the vesting provisions of this Annex I, the Earnout Shares shall not entitle the
holder thereof to consideration in connection with any sale or other transaction, other than in connection with a Change of Control as
set forth below, and may not be Transferred by such holder or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process without the consent
of Newco, and shall bear a customary legend with respect to such transfer restrictions; provided, further, that Transfers are
permitted to Permitted Transferees who shall (a) be subject to the restrictions in this paragraph 3 as if they were the original
holders of such Earnout Shares and (b) promptly transfer such Earnout Shares back to the original holder thereof if they cease to be
a Permitted Transferee for any reason prior to the date such Earnout Shares become freely transferable in accordance herewith; provided,
further, that any such Permitted Transferee executes and delivers to Newco a written agreement, in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to Newco, agreeing to be bound by the restrictions in this paragraph 3. Any attempt to Transfer such Earnout Shares shall
be null and void.
4.
If, at any time prior to the expiration of the Earnout Period, any holder of Earnout Shares forfeits all or any portion of such
holder’s Converted Options or Converted RSU Awards, in accordance with the terms of such Converted Options or Converted RSU Awards,
all unvested
Earnout
Shares issued to such holder with respect to any such Converted Options or Converted RSU Awards shall be deemed to be automatically forfeited
to Newco and Newco shall then distribute such Earnout Shares to the other holder of Company Securities as of immediately prior to the
Effective Time on a pro rata basis based upon the allocation of Earnout Shares as of the Closing Date (but disregarding any Earnout Shares
forfeited by other holders of Earnout Shares with respect to any Converted Options or Converted RSU Awards in accordance herewith).
5.
If, upon the expiration of the Earnout Period, the $12.50 Share Price Milestone and/or the $15.00 Share Price Milestone have not
occurred, then all Earnout Shares which would vest in connection with such Milestone shall be automatically forfeited and deemed transferred
to Newco and shall be automatically cancelled by Newco and cease to exist. For the avoidance of doubt, prior to such forfeiture, all
Earnout Shares shall be entitled to any dividends or distributions made to the holders of Newco Common Stock and shall be entitled to
the voting rights generally granted to holders of Newco Common Stock.
6.
In the event of occurrence of any Milestone, as soon as practicable (but in any event within five (5) Business Days), Newco shall
deliver written notice to the holders of the Earnout Shares as of any such date regarding the vesting of the applicable Earnout Shares.
7.
In the event that after the Closing and prior to the expiration of the Earnout Period, (i) there is a Change of Control (or a
definitive agreement providing for a Change of Control has been entered into prior to expiration of the Earnout Period and such Change
of Control is ultimately consummated, even if such consummation occurs after the expiration of the Earnout Period), (ii) any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of Newco (whether voluntary of involuntary) is initiated, (iii) any bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement
or similar proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or any dissolution or liquidation proceeding, is instituted by
or against Newco, or a receiver is appointed for Newco or a substantial part of its assets or properties or (iv) Newco makes an assignment
for the benefit of creditors, or petitions or applies to any Governmental Authority for, or consents or acquiesces to, the appointment
of a custodian, receiver or trustee for all or substantially all of its assets or properties, then any Milestone that has not previously
occurred and the related vesting conditions shall be deemed to have occurred.

Insider Letter. VGII, Sponsor and each Insider hereby agree as follows (and Credit Suisse, on its own behalf and as representative
of the several Underwriters, hereby consents and agrees to the following):
(a)
Voting; Non-Redemption. The Insider Letter provides in Section 1 thereof for certain requirements of Sponsor and the Insiders
in respect of Business Combinations (as defined therein), including in respect of voting in favor thereof and forgoing redemption rights
in respect thereof. The Transactions constitute a Business Combination and Sponsor and each Insider will comply with its, his or her
respective obligations under such Section 1. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, at any duly called meeting of the
stockholders of VGII (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), and in any action by written consent of the shareholders of VGII requested
by VGII’s board of directors or undertaken as contemplated by the Transactions, Sponsor and each Insider shall, if a meeting is
held, appear at the meeting, in person or by proxy, or otherwise cause its Ordinary Shares (including, but not limited to, Founder Shares),
to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum, and Sponsor and each Insider shall vote or consent (or cause
to be voted or consented), in person or by proxy, all of such shares (i) in favor of the adoption of the Transaction Agreement and
approval of the Transactions (and any actions required in furtherance thereof), (ii) against any action, proposal, transaction or
agreement that would result in a breach in any respect of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement of VGII or
Merger Sub contained in the Transaction Agreement, (iii) in favor of the proposals set forth in the Proxy Statement, and (iv) except
as set forth in the Proxy Statement, against the following actions or proposals: (A) any proposal in opposition to approval of the
Transaction Agreement or in competition with or materially inconsistent with the Transaction Agreement, (B) except for in connection
with the Domestication, any amendment of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of VGII; (C) except for in connection with
the Domestication, any change in VGII’s corporate structure or business; or (D) any other action or proposal involving VGII
or any of its subsidiaries that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or
adversely affect the Transactions in any material respect or would reasonably be expected to result in any of VGII’s closing conditions
or obligations under the Transaction Agreement not being satisfied. Sponsor and each of the Insiders agree not to, and shall cause its
Affiliates not to, enter into any agreement, commitment or arrangement with any person, the effect of which would be inconsistent with
or violative of the provisions and agreements contained in this Section 2(a).
(b)
Lock-Up. The Insider Letter provides in Section 7 thereof for certain restrictions on Transfer of Founder Shares and Class
A Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion thereof until the expiration of certain time periods or the happening of certain prior events.
Notwithstanding, and in precedence to, the Insider Letter, from and after the time and date of the Domestication, (i) references
in the Insider Letter to the Class A Shares and Class B Shares (including by reference to Units, Founder Shares and Warrants, among other
things) shall include the shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of such Class A Shares and Class B Shares in connection
with the Domestication, and (ii) 35% of the number of Class B Shares of Sponsor (such shares, together with the shares of Class A Common
Stock issued upon conversion of such shares in connection with the Domestication, the “Earn-Out Shares”), as further
set forth
under
the heading “Number of Earn-Out Shares” on Exhibit A attached hereto opposite Sponsor’s name on such Exhibit
(assuming no stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar
event occurs between the date hereof and the Closing), shall continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the
Insider Letter, and shall also be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 2(c), and the remaining 65% of such Class
B Shares (and the shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of such shares in connection with the Domestication) and Warrants
(and the shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon exercise of such Warrants) shall continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer
set forth in Section 7 of the Insider Letter for the time periods set forth therein. Earn-Out Shares shall continue to be Earn-Out Shares
following their transfer to any permitted transferee under Section 7(c) of the Insider Letter.
(c)
Earn-Out.
(i)
With respect to the Earn-Out Shares, the Sponsor agrees that: (i) 50% of such Earn-Out Shares will automatically vest if the Stock
Price (as defined below) equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (the “$12.50 Share Price Milestone”) on any 20 Trading
Days (as defined below) (which may be consecutive or not consecutive) within any consecutive 30 Trading Day period that occurs after
the Closing Date and on or prior to the ten-year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Earn-Out Period”); and (ii)
50% of such Earn-Out Shares will automatically vest if the Stock Price equals or exceeds $15.00 per share (the “$15.00 Share
Price Milestone” and, each of the $15.00 Share Price Milestone and the $12.50 Share Price Milestone, a “Milestone”)
for any 20 Trading Days (which may be consecutive or not consecutive) within any consecutive 30 Trading Day period that occurs after
the Closing Date and on or prior to the expiration of the Earn-Out Period.
(ii)
Subject to the limitations contemplated herein, the Sponsor shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Continuing Delaware
Corporation with respect to the Earn-Out Shares, including the right to receive dividends and to vote such shares; provided, that,
subject to the provisions of this Section 2(c), the Earn-Out Shares shall not entitle the Sponsor to consideration in connection
with any sale or other transaction, other than in connection with a Change of Control as set forth below, and may not be Transferred
by Sponsor or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process without the consent of the Continuing Delaware Corporation, and
shall bear a customary legend with respect to such transfer restrictions; provided, further, that Transfers are permitted to Permitted
Transferees who shall (A) be subject to the restrictions in this Section 2(c)(ii) as if they were the original holders of such Earn-Out
Shares and (B) promptly transfer such Earn-Out Shares back to the Sponsor if they cease to be a Permitted Transferee for any reason prior
to the date such Earn-Out Shares become freely transferable in accordance herewith; provided, further, that, any such Permitted
Transferee executes and delivers to the Continuing Delaware Corporation a written agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable
to the Continuing Delaware Corporation, agreeing to be bound by the restrictions herein. Any attempt to Transfer such Earn-Out Shares
shall be null and void.
(iii)
If, upon the expiration of the Earn-Out Period, the $12.50 Share Price Milestone and/or the $15.00 Share Price Milestone have
not occurred, then all Earn-Out Shares which would have otherwise vested in connection with such Milestone shall be automatically forfeited
and deemed transferred to the Continuing Delaware Corporation and shall be automatically cancelled by the Continuing Delaware Corporation
and cease to exist. For the avoidance of doubt, prior to such forfeiture, all Earn-Out Shares shall be entitled to any dividends or distributions
made to the stockholders of the Continuing Delaware Corporation and shall be entitled to the voting rights generally granted to stockholders
of the Continuing Delaware Corporation.
(iv)
In the event of occurrence of any Milestone, as soon as practicable (but in any event within five (5) Business Days), the Continuing
Delaware Corporation shall deliver written notice thereof to the Sponsor.
(v)
In the event that after the Closing and prior to the expiration of the Earn-Out Period, (A) there is a Change of Control (or a
definitive agreement providing for a Change of Control has been entered into prior to expiration of the Earn-Out Period and such Change
of Control is ultimately consummated, even if such consummation occurs after the expiration of the Earn-Out Period), (B) any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Continuing Delaware Corporation (whether voluntary of involuntary) is initiated, (C) any bankruptcy,
reorganization, debt arrangement or similar proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or any dissolution or liquidation
proceeding, is instituted by or against the Continuing Delaware Corporation, or a receiver is appointed for the Continuing Delaware Corporation
or a substantial part of its assets or properties or (D) the Continuing Delaware Corporation makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors,
or petitions or applies to any Governmental Authority for, or consents or acquiesces to, the appointment of a custodian, receiver or
trustee for all or substantially all of its assets or properties, then any Milestone that has not previously occurred and the related
vesting conditions shall be deemed to have occurred.
(vi)
For purposes hereof:
(A)
a “Change of Control” means the occurrence in a single transaction or as a result of a series of related transactions,
of one or more of the following events: (1) any person or any group of persons acting together which would constitute a “group”
for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or any successor provisions thereto (a “Group”) (excluding a corporation
or other entity owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Continuing Delaware Corporation in substantially the same proportions
as their ownership of stock of the Continuing Delaware Corporation) (x) is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Continuing Delaware Corporation representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the Continuing
Delaware Corporation’s then outstanding voting securities or (y) has or acquires control of the board of directors of the Continuing
Delaware Corporation; (2) a merger, consolidation, reorganization or similar business combination transaction involving the Continuing
Delaware Corporation, and, immediately after the consummation of such transaction or series of transactions, either (x) the board of

SUBSCRIPTION
AGREEMENT
This SUBSCRIPTION
AGREEMENT (this “Subscription Agreement”) is entered into this seventh day of December 2021, by and between Virgin
Group Acquisition Corp. II, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Issuer”), and the undersigned (“Subscriber”
or “you”). Defined terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto
in the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below).
WHEREAS, the Issuer,
Grove Collaborative, Inc., a Delaware public benefit corporation (“Grove”), and the other parties named therein will,
immediately following the execution of this Subscription Agreement, enter into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of
the date hereof (as amended, modified, supplemented or waived from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Business
Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which the Issuer will redomesticate as a public benefit corporation organized under the
state of Delaware (the “Redomestication”), and immediately thereafter a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer will
merge with and into Grove, with Grove surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (together with the other transactions contemplated
by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Transactions”);
WHEREAS, in connection
with the Transactions, Subscriber desires to subscribe for and purchase from the Issuer, immediately following the Redomestication, that
number of shares of the Issuer’s Class A common stock (the “Common Shares”) set forth on the signature page
hereto (the “Subscribed Shares”) for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Per Share Price”),
and for the aggregate purchase price set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Purchase Price”), and the Issuer
desires to issue and sell to Subscriber the Subscribed Shares in consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price therefor by or on
behalf of Subscriber to the Issuer, all on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, certain
other “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”)) or “accredited investors” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act) (each, an “Other
Subscriber”) have, severally and not jointly, entered into separate subscription agreements with the Issuer (the “Other
Subscription Agreements”), pursuant to which such Other Subscribers have agreed to purchase Common Shares on the Closing Date
(as defined below) at the same per share purchase price as Subscriber, and the aggregate amount of securities to be sold by the Issuer
pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements equals, as of the date hereof, [–] Common Shares.
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:
For ease of administration,
this single Subscription Agreement is being executed so as to enable each Subscriber identified on the signature page to enter into a
Subscription Agreement, severally, but not jointly. The parties agree that (i) this Subscription Agreement shall be treated as if it
were a separate agreement with respect to each Subscriber listed on the signature page, as if each Subscriber entity had executed a separate
Subscription Agreement naming only itself as
Subscriber, and (ii)
no Subscriber listed on the signature page shall have any liability under the Subscription Agreement for the obligations of any Other
Subscriber so listed. The decision of Subscriber to purchase the Subscribed Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement has been made
by Subscriber independently of any Other Subscriber or any other investor and independently of any information, materials, statements
or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or
otherwise) or prospects of the Issuer, Grove or any of their respective subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any Other Subscriber
or investor or by any agent or employee of any Other Subscriber or investor, and neither Subscriber nor any of its agents or employees
shall have any liability to any Other Subscriber or investor (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information,
materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Other Subscription Agreement, and no action taken by Subscriber
or investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Subscriber and Other Subscribers or other investors as a partnership,
an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that Subscriber and Other Subscribers or other investors
are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Subscription
Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements. Subscriber acknowledges that no Other Subscriber has acted as agent for Subscriber in
connection with making its investment hereunder and no Other Subscriber will be acting as agent of Subscriber in connection with monitoring
its investment in the Subscribed Shares or enforcing its rights under this Subscription Agreement. Subscriber shall be entitled to independently
protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Subscription Agreement, and it shall not
be necessary for any Other Subscriber or investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
1.
Subscription. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing (as defined below), Subscriber hereby agrees,
to subscribe for and purchase, and the Issuer hereby agrees to issue and sell to Subscriber, upon the payment of the Purchase Price,
the Subscribed Shares (such subscription and issuance, the “Subscription”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the consummation of the Subscription is contingent upon the substantially concurrent occurrence of the closing of the Transactions
as further described herein. Each of the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Subscribed Shares that will be issued pursuant
hereto shall be shares of common stock in a Delaware public benefit corporation (and not shares in a Cayman Islands exempted company).
2.
Representations, Warranties and Agreements.
2.1.
Subscriber’s Representations, Warranties and Agreements. To induce the Issuer to issue the Subscribed Shares, Subscriber
hereby represents and warrants to the Issuer and acknowledges and agrees with the Issuer, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing
Date, as follows:
2.1.1.
If Subscriber is not an individual, Subscriber has been duly formed or incorporated and is validly existing in good standing under

Agreement is the valid and binding obligation of Subscriber, and is enforceable against 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.
2.1.3.
The execution, delivery and performance by Subscriber of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated herein do not and will not (i) if Subscriber is not an individual, result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational
documents of Subscriber or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) 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 Subscriber that would reasonably be expected
to have a material adverse effect on the legal authority and ability of Subscriber to enter into and timely perform its obligations under
this Subscription Agreement (a “Subscriber Material Adverse Effect”).

is subscribing for the Subscribed Shares as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, each owner of such account is a qualified
institutional buyer, and 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, for investment
purposes only and not with a view to any distribution of the Subscribed Shares in any manner that would violate the securities laws of
the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction and (iii) is not acquiring the Subscribed Shares with a view to, or for offer

pledged or otherwise disposed of by Subscriber absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, except (i) to the

risk of an investment in the Subscribed Shares for an indefinite period of time. Subscriber understands that it has been advised to consult
independent legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of any of the Subscribed Shares. Subscriber has determined
based on its own independent review and such professional advice as it deems appropriate that the Subscribed Shares are a suitable investment
for Subscriber, notwithstanding the substantial risks inherent in investing in or holding the Subscribed Shares, and that Subscriber
is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of Subscriber’s investment in the
Issuer. Subscriber acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists. Subscriber will not look to the Placement Agents
for all or part of any such loss or losses Subscriber may suffer.

its representatives concerning the Issuer or the Subscribed Shares or the offer and sale of the Subscribed Shares. Subscriber acknowledges

and the Transactions. Subscriber represents and agrees that Subscriber and Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had
the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as Subscriber and Subscriber’s professional
advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Subscribed Shares. Subscriber represents

operations, properties or prospects of, the Issuer, Grove or the Transactions, and (d) the Placement Agents, their respective affiliates

liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements incurred by Subscriber) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, whether in contract,
tort or otherwise, to Subscriber, or to any person claiming through Subscriber, in respect of the Transactions. Subscriber further acknowledges

Subscriber represents and warrants that neither the Issuer nor any of its affiliates (the “Transaction Parties”) has
acted as the Plan’s fiduciary, or has been relied on for advice, with respect to its decision to acquire and hold the Subscribed
Shares, and none of the Transaction Parties shall at any time be
relied upon
as the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision to acquire, continue to hold or transfer the Subscribed Shares.

a single foreign state have a substantial interest (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.244) and that will acquire a substantial interest
in the Issuer as a result of the purchase and sale of Subscribed Shares hereunder such that a declaration to the Committee on Foreign
Investment in the United States would be mandatory under 31 C.F.R. Part 800.401, and no foreign person will have control (as defined

Settlement Date and Delivery.
3.1.
Closing. The closing of the Subscription contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall occur on the date
of, and immediately prior to (but subject to), the consummation of the Transactions (the date of the Closing, the “Closing Date”).
Upon written notice from (or on behalf of) the Issuer to Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”) at least five (5) Business
Days prior to the date that the Issuer reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transactions to be satisfied (the “Expected
Closing Date”), upon satisfaction (or, if applicable, waiver) of the conditions set forth in this Section 3, Subscriber shall
deliver to the Issuer, the Purchase Price for the Subscribed Shares, (i) no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Expected Closing
Date by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Issuer in the Closing Notice,
such funds to be held by the
Issuer in escrow until
the Closing, or (ii) on the Closing Date, following Subscriber’s receipt of reasonably acceptable evidence from the Company’s
transfer agent showing Subscriber as the owner of the Subscribed Shares on and as of the Closing Date, to an account specified by the
Issuer and as otherwise mutually agreed by Subscriber and the Issuer acting reasonably (“Alternative Settlement Procedures”).
For the avoidance of doubt, mutually agreeable Alternative Settlement Procedures shall include, without limitation, Subscriber delivering
to the Issuer on the Closing Date the Purchase Price for the Subscribed Shares by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available
funds to the account specified by the Issuer in the Closing Notice against delivery to the undersigned of the Subscribed Shares. On the
Closing Date, the Issuer shall issue to Subscriber (or the funds and accounts designated by Subscriber if so designated by Subscriber,
or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) or to a custodian designated by Subscriber, as applicable, the Subscribed
Shares, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those arising under state or federal securities laws),
which Subscribed Shares, unless otherwise determined by the Issuer, shall be uncertificated, with record ownership reflected only in
the register of shareholders of the Issuer and shall, prior to Subscriber delivering the funds on the Closing Date, provide evidence
of such issuance from the Issuer’s transfer agent showing Subscriber as the owner of the Subscribed Shares on and as of the Closing
Date. If the Transactions are not consummated within three (3) Business Days after the Expected Closing Date, the Issuer shall promptly
(but no later than one (1) Business Day thereafter) return the Purchase Price to Subscriber by wire transfer of United States dollars
in immediately available funds to an account specified by Subscriber, and the Subscribed Shares shall be cancelled. Notwithstanding such
return, (i) a failure to close on the Expected Closing Date shall not, by itself, be deemed to be a failure of any of the conditions
to Closing set forth in this Section 3 to be satisfied or waived on or prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) unless and until this Subscription
Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 5 hereof, Subscriber shall remain obligated (A) to redeliver funds on the new Closing
Date to the Issuer following the Issuer’s delivery to Subscriber of a new Closing Notice and (B) to consummate the Closing upon
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 3. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Business Day”

as to materiality or Subscriber Material Adverse Effect, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects),
and shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date (unless they specifically speak as of another date
in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date) (other than representations and
warranties
that are qualified as to materiality or Subscriber Material Adverse Effect, which representations and warranties shall be true in all
respects) with the same force and effect as if they had been made on and as of said date, but in each case without giving effect to consummation
of the Transactions.

Compliance with Covenants. Subscriber shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all respects with the covenants,
agreements and conditions required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by Subscriber at or prior
to the Closing, except where the failure of such performance or compliance would not or would not reasonably be expected to prevent,

Closing of the Transactions. All conditions precedent to each of the Issuer’s and Grove’s obligations to consummate,
or cause to be consummated, the Transactions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement shall have been satisfied or waived by the
party entitled to the benefit thereof under the Business Combination Agreement (other than those conditions that may only be satisfied
at the consummation of the Transactions, but subject to satisfaction or waiver by such party of such conditions as of the consummation
of the Transactions), and the Transactions will be consummated immediately following the Closing.
3.2.4.

written waiver by Subscriber, on or prior to the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions:
3.3.1.
Representations and Warranties Correct. The representations and warranties made by the Issuer in Section 2.2
hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects when made (unless they specifically speak as of another date in which case
they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date) (other than representations and warranties that are qualified
as to materiality or Issuer Material Adverse Effect, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects),
and shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date (unless they specifically speak as of another date
in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date) (other than representations and warranties that
are qualified as to materiality or Issuer Material Adverse Effect, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in
all respects) with the same force and effect as if they had been made on and as of said date, but in each case without giving effect
to consummation of the Transactions.
3.3.2.
Compliance with Covenants. The Issuer shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all respects with the covenants,
agreements and conditions required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Issuer at or prior

materially delay, or materially impair the ability of the Issuer to consummate the Closing.
3.3.3.
Closing of the Transactions. All conditions precedent to the consummation of the Transactions set forth in the Business
Combination Agreement shall have been satisfied or waived by the party entitled to the benefit thereof under the Business Combination

following the Closing.
3.3.4.

or threatened in writing a proceeding seeking to impose any such restraint or prohibition.
3.3.5.
Amendment of Business Combination Agreement. The terms of the Business Combination Agreement shall not have been amended

as such) would reasonably expect to receive under this Subscription Agreement unless Subscriber has consented in writing to such amendment.
3.3.6.
Listing. No suspension of the qualification of the Common Shares for offering or sale or trading in any jurisdiction, and
no suspension or removal from listing of the Common Shares on the NYSE or Nasdaq, and no initiation or threatening of any proceedings
for any of such purposes or delisting, shall have occurred, and the Subscribed Shares shall be approved for listing on the NYSE or Nasdaq,
as applicable, subject to official notice of issuance.
3.3.7.
Amendment of Other Subscription Agreements. There shall have been no amendment, waiver or modification to the Other Subscription
Agreements (including via side letter or other agreement) that materially economically benefits the Other Subscribers thereunder unless
the Subscriber has been offered the same benefits.
4.
Registration Statement.
4.1.
The Issuer agrees that, within twenty (20) business days after the consummation of the Transactions (the “Filing Date”),
the Issuer will file with the Commission (at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement (the “Registration
Statement”) registering the resale of the Subscribed Shares (the “Registrable Securities”), and the Issuer
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared
effective as soon
as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the Commission
notifies the Issuer that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Closing Date and (ii) the 5th Business
Day after the date the Issuer is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement
will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”);
provided, however, that the Issuer’s obligations to include the Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement are contingent
upon Subscriber furnishing a completed and executed selling shareholders questionnaire in customary form to the Issuer that contains
the information required by Commission rules for a Registration Statement regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Issuer held by
Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities,
and Subscriber shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Issuer may reasonably request that are customary
of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that the Issuer shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness
or use of the Registration Statement, if applicable, as permitted hereunder; provided, 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 Registrable Securities. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Issuer to file the Registration Statement by
the Filing Date or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Issuer of its obligations
to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 4. For purposes of this Section
4, Registrable Securities shall include, as of any date of determination, the Subscribed Shares and any other equity
security of the Issuer issued or issuable with respect to the Subscribed Shares by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization,
merger, exchange, replacement or similar event or otherwise and “Subscriber” shall include any person to which the rights
under this Section 4 shall have been duly assigned. The Issuer will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to Subscriber for review
at least two (2) business days in advance of filing the Registration Statement. In no event shall Subscriber be identified as a statutory
underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the Commission and consented to by the Subscriber. If the Commission requests
that Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, Subscriber will have an opportunity to withdraw
from the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Issuer from including any or all of the
Subscribed Shares proposed to be registered for resale under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of
the Securities Act for the resale of the Subscribed Shares by the applicable shareholders or otherwise, (i) such Registration Statement
shall register for resale such number of Subscribed Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Subscribed Shares as is permitted
by the Commission and (ii) the number of Subscribed Shares to be registered for each selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement
shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders; and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional
Subscribed Shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Issuer shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new Registration
Statement to register such Subscribed Shares not included in the initial Registration Statement and cause such amendment or Registration
Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable.
4.2.
In the case of the registration effected by the Issuer pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall, upon reasonable
request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration. At its expense the Issuer shall:
4.2.1.
except for such times as the 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 the Issuer determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to Subscriber, 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: (i) Subscriber ceases to hold any Registrable Securities and (ii) the date all Registrable Securities held by Subscriber
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 the Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information
required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable); provided, that for as long as the Registration Statement shall remain
effective pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports, and
provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable Subscriber to resell the Subscribed Shares pursuant to the Registration
Statement, and update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include the Subscribed Shares.
4.2.2.
advise Subscriber, as promptly as practicable but in any event within five (5) Business Days:
(a)
when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;
(b)
of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein
or for additional information;
(c)
of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation
of any proceedings for such purpose;
(d)
of the receipt by the Issuer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities
included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and
(e)
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, the Issuer shall not, when so advising Subscriber of such events, provide Subscriber with
any material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer or subject the Subscriber to any duty of confidentiality;
4.2.3.
use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration
Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;
4.2.4.
upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 4.2.2(d), except for such times as the Issuer is permitted
hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the 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 Securities
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; and
4.2.5.
use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Subscribed Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if
any, on which the Issuer’s common stock is then listed.
4.3.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitled to delay or postpone the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement
or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, (i) as may be necessary in connection with the preparation and filing of a post-effective amendment
to the Registration Statement following the filing of the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, or (ii) if the filing, effectiveness
or continued use of any Registration Statement would require the Issuer to make any public disclosure of material non-public information,
which disclosure, in the good faith determination of the board of directors of the Issuer, after consultation with counsel to the Issuer,
(a) would be required to be made in any Registration Statement in order for the applicable Registration Statement not to contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading,
(b) would not be required to be made at such time if the Registration Statement were not being filed, and (c) the Issuer has a bona fide
business purpose for not making such information public (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided,
however, that the Issuer may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than sixty
(60) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case, during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt
of any written notice from the Issuer (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding the Issuer and which
notice shall not be subject to any duty of confidentiality) of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration
Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the 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, Subscriber agrees that
it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Subscribed Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance
of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the 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 the Issuer that it may resume such offers and sales (which notice shall
not contain any material non-public information regarding the Issuer and which notice shall not be subject to any duty of confidentiality).
If so directed by the Issuer, Subscriber will deliver to the Issuer or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of
the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares in Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation
to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent Subscriber is required
to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements
or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers
as a result of automatic data back-up.
4.4.
Subscriber may deliver written notice (including via email in accordance with Section 6.3
(an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Issuer requesting that Subscriber not receive notices from the Issuer otherwise
required by Section 4.3; provided, however, that Subscriber may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice
in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from Subscriber (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Issuer shall
not deliver any such notices to Subscriber and Subscriber shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and
(ii) each time prior to Subscriber’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, Subscriber will notify the Issuer
in writing at least two (2) business days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously
delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 4.4) and the related suspension period
remains in effect, the Issuer will so notify Subscriber, within one (1) business day of Subscriber’s notification to the Issuer,
by delivering to Subscriber a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide Subscriber with the related
notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event immediately upon its availability (which notices shall not contain any material non-public
information regarding the Issuer and which notice shall not be subject to any duty of confidentiality).
4.5.
The parties agree that:
4.5.1.
The Issuer shall, notwithstanding the termination of this Subscription Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted
by law, Subscriber (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), the officers, directors, agents, partners, members, managers,
shareholders, affiliates, employees and investment advisers of each Subscriber, each person who controls such Subscriber (within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the officers, directors, partners, members,
managers, shareholders, agents, affiliates,
employees
and investment advisers of each such controlling from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating
any such action or claim) (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue
or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or incorporated by reference therein), prospectus
included in any Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or arising out of or
relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made) not misleading or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Issuer of the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities
law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 4, except insofar
as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Issuer by or on behalf of Subscriber expressly
for use therein or Subscriber has omitted a material fact from such information; provided, however, that the indemnification contained
in this Section 4.5 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without
the consent of the Issuer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall the Issuer be liable
for any Losses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon a violation which occurs (A) in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished by Subscriber expressly for use in such Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto, (B) in connection with any failure of such person to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made
available by the Issuer in a timely manner, (C) as a result of offers or sales effected by or on behalf of any person by means of a “free
writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that was not authorized in writing by the Issuer, or (D)
in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of Subscriber in violation of Section 4.3 hereof.
The Issuer shall notify Subscriber promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Section 4 of which the Issuer is aware.
4.5.2.
Subscriber agrees, severally and not jointly with any person that is a party to the Other Subscription Agreements, to indemnify
and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the Issuer, its directors, officers, employees and agents and each person who controls
the Issuer (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) against any and all Losses, as
incurred, that arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement,
prospectus included in any Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or arising
out of or relating to any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the
case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading,
but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by
such Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 4.5
shall
not apply
to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of Subscriber (which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the liability of
Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Subscribed Shares
purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
4.5.3.
Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (1) 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 right
to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (2) 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. An indemnifying party who 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 legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists 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 (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), 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 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.
4.5.4.
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 and shall survive the transfer of the Subscribed Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription
Agreement.
4.5.5.
If the indemnification provided under this Section 4.5 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient
to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Losses 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. 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 relates to information supplied by, 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 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
4.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Each indemnifying party’s obligation
to make a contribution pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall be individual, not joint and several, and in no event shall the liability
of Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Subscribed
Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement giving rise to such contribution obligation.
5.
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 (i) such date and time as the Business Combination Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms,
(ii) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement and (iii) at the election
of Subscriber after July 31, 2022 if the Closing shall not have occurred; 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 such breach. The Issuer shall promptly notify Subscriber of the termination
of the Business Combination Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement. Upon the termination hereof in accordance with
this Section 5, any monies paid by Subscriber to the Issuer in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within one (3) Business
Days) be returned in full to Subscriber by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by Subscriber,
without any deduction for or on account of any tax withholding, charges or set-off, whether or not the Transaction shall have been consummated.
6.
Miscellaneous.
6.1.
Further Assurances. At the Closing, the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take such
additional actions as the parties reasonably may deem to be practical and necessary in order to consummate the Subscription as contemplated
by this Subscription Agreement.
6.1.1.
Subscriber acknowledges that the Issuer will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties
made by Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, Subscriber agrees to promptly notify the Issuer and
the Placement Agents if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties made by Subscriber set
forth herein are no longer accurate in all material respects. The Issuer acknowledges that Subscriber will rely on the acknowledgments,
understandings, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Issuer contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the
Closing, the Issuer agrees to promptly notify Subscriber if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations
and warranties
made by Issuer set forth herein are no longer accurate in all material respects (other than those acknowledgments, understandings, agreements,
representations and warranties qualified by materiality, in which case the Issuer shall notify Subscriber if they are no longer accurate
in any respect).
6.1.2.
Each of the Issuer, Subscriber and each of the Placement Agents is entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and 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.
6.1.3.
The Issuer may request from Subscriber such additional information as the Issuer may reasonably deem necessary to evaluate the
eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the Subscribed Shares, and Subscriber shall provide such information as may be reasonably requested,
to the extent within Subscriber’s possession and control or otherwise readily available to Subscriber, provided that the Issuer
agrees to keep confidential any such information provided by Subscriber.
6.1.4.
Each of Subscriber and the Issuer shall pay all of its own respective expenses in connection with this Subscription Agreement
and the transactions contemplated herein (it being agreed that all expenses related to the Registration Statement are for the account
of the Issuer to the extent provided in Section 4, and the Issuer shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and all of
DTC’s fees associated with the issuance of the Subscribed Shares).
6.1.5.
Each of Subscriber and the Issuer shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary,
proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement on the terms and conditions described
therein no later than immediately prior to the consummation of the Transactions.
6.2.
Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except in respect of any stock lending program, it will not, nor will any person
acting at Subscriber’s direction or pursuant to any understanding with Subscriber (including Subscriber’s controlled affiliates),
directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, contract to sell, sell any option in, or engage in hedging activities or execute any “short
sales” (as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act) with respect to, any Subscribed Shares or any securities
of the Issuer or any instrument exchangeable for or convertible into any Subscribed Shares or any securities of the Issuer until the
consummation of the Transactions (or such earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with its terms). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (i) nothing herein shall prohibit any entities under common management or that share an investment advisor with Subscriber
(including Subscriber’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any Short Sales; (ii) in the case of a Subscriber
that is a multimanaged investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Subscriber’s assets,
this Section 6.2 shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment
decision to purchase the Subscribed Shares covered by this Subscription Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.2 shall
not apply to
(i) any sale (including
the exercise of any redemption right) of securities of the Issuer (A) held by the Subscriber, its controlled affiliates or any person
or entity acting on behalf of the Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates prior to the execution of this Subscription Agreement
or (B) purchased by the Subscriber, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Subscriber or any of its
controlled affiliates in an open market transaction after the execution of this Subscription Agreement or (ii) ordinary course, non-speculative
hedging transactions.
6.3.

including any commitment letter entered into relating to the subject matter hereof.

and also signed by Grove.
6.6.
Assignment. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights, interests or obligations that may accrue to the parties
hereunder (other than the Subscribed Shares acquired hereunder and the rights set forth in Section 4) may be transferred or assigned
without the prior written consent of the Subscriber, Issuer and Grove; provided that all or a portion of Subscriber’s rights and
obligations hereunder (including Subscriber’s rights to purchase the Subscribed Shares) may be assigned to one or more of its affiliates
(including any fund or account managed by the same investment manager as Subscriber), or by an affiliate of such investment manager,
without the prior consent of the Issuer, provided that such assignee(s) agrees in writing to be bound by the terms hereof, and upon such
assignment by a Subscriber, the assignee(s) shall become Subscriber hereunder and have the rights and obligations and be deemed to make

managed by the same investment manager as Subscriber.
6.7.

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. This Subscription Agreement shall not confer
rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Placement
Agents shall be third-party beneficiaries to the representations and warranties made by the Issuer and Subscriber in this Subscription
Agreement and Grove shall be a third-party beneficiary with respect to the entirety of this Subscription Agreement and as provided in
Section 4.5.
6.8.
Governing Law. This Subscription Agreement, and any claim or cause of action hereunder based upon, arising out of or related
to this Subscription Agreement (whether based on law, in equity, in contract, in tort or any other theory) or the negotiation, execution,
performance or enforcement of this Subscription Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.
6.9.
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 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 the U.S. District Court
for the District of Delaware (together with the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, “Chosen Courts”), in connection
with any matter based upon or arising out of this Subscription Agreement. Each party 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 hereby consents to service of process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by Delaware law, 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 6.3 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 6.9, a party 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 WAIVES ANY RIGHT
TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS ASSERTED IN ANY LEGAL DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT 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. 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.
6.10.
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.
6.11.
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.
6.12.
Remedies.
6.12.1.
The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if this Subscription Agreement is not performed or the Closing is not consummated
in accordance with its specific terms or is 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 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
6.9, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in equity, including money damages.
The right to specific enforcement shall include the right of the parties hereto to cause the other parties hereto to cause the transactions
contemplated hereby to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Subscription Agreement.
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 6.12 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.
6.12.2.
The parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 6.12 is an integral part of the transactions contemplated
hereby and without that right, the parties hereto would not have entered into this Subscription Agreement.
6.13.
Survival of Representations and Warranties and Covenants. All representations and warranties made by the parties hereto,
and all covenants and other agreements of the parties hereto, in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.
6.14.
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.
6.15.
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 parties, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered
by facsimile 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.
6.16.
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. All references in this Subscription
Agreement to numbers of shares, per share amounts and purchase prices shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock
dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or the like occurring after the date hereof.
6.17.
Mutual Drafting. This Subscription Agreement is the joint product of the parties hereto and each provision hereof has been
subject to the mutual consultation, negotiation and agreement of the parties and shall not be construed for or against any party hereto.
7.
Cleansing Statement; Disclosure.
7.1.
The Issuer shall, by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first (1st) Business Day immediately following the date of this Subscription
Agreement, issue one or more press releases or file with the Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K (collectively, the “Disclosure
Document”) disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Other Subscription Agreements and
the Transactions and any other material nonpublic information that the Issuer or its officers, directors, employees or agents has provided
to Subscriber prior to the filing of the Disclosure Document. Upon the issuance of the Disclosure Document, to the actual knowledge of
the Issuer, Subscriber shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information received from the Issuer or any of its officers,
directors, employees or agents, and Subscriber shall no longer be subject to any confidentiality or similar obligations under any current
agreement, whether written or oral, with the Issuer, the Placement Agents or any of their respective affiliates, relating to the transactions
contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.
7.2.
Notwithstanding anything in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, the Issuer shall not (and shall cause its officers, directors,
employees and agents not to) publicly disclose the name of Subscriber or any affiliate or investment adviser of Subscriber, or include
the name of Subscriber or any affiliate or investment adviser of Subscriber without the prior written consent (including by e-mail) of
Subscriber (i) in any press release or marketing materials, or (ii) in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or trading
market, except as required by the federal securities laws, rules or regulations and to the extent such disclosure is required by other
laws, rules or regulations, at the request of the staff of the Commission or regulatory agency or under regulations of the NYSE, in which
case the Issuer shall provide Subscriber with prior written notice (including by e-mail) of such permitted disclosure, and shall reasonably
consult with Subscriber regarding such disclosure.
8.
Trust Account Waiver. In addition to the waiver of the Issuer pursuant to Section 6.03 of the Business Combination Agreement,
and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, each of the Issuer and Subscriber acknowledges that the Issuer has established
a trust account containing the proceeds of its initial public offering and from certain private placements (collectively, with interest
accrued from time to time thereon, the “Trust Account”). Each of the Issuer and Subscriber agrees that (i) it has
no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and (ii) it shall have no right of set-off
or any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”) to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account, in each case
in connection with this Subscription Agreement, and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account that
it may have in connection with this Subscription Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8
shall be deemed to limit Subscriber’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of such Subscriber’s
record or beneficial ownership of securities of the Issuer, including, but not limited to, any redemption right with respect to any such
securities of the Issuer. In the event Subscriber has any Claim against the Issuer under this Subscription Agreement, Subscriber shall
pursue
such Claim solely
against the Issuer and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the property or any monies in the Trust Account. Subscriber
agrees and acknowledges that such waiver is material to this Subscription Agreement and has been specifically relied upon by the Issuer
to induce the Issuer to enter into this Subscription Agreement and Subscriber further intends and understands such waiver to be valid,
binding and enforceable under applicable law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the terms of this Section 8 apply to any money or other assets held outside the Trust
Account.
9.
Non-Reliance. Subscriber acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation
or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation, other than the representations and warranties of the Issuer expressly set forth
in this Subscription Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Issuer. Subscriber agrees that no Other Subscriber
pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or any other agreement related to the private placement of shares of the Issuer’s capital
stock (including the controlling persons, officers, directors, partners, agents or employees of any such Subscriber) shall be liable
to any Other Subscriber pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or any other agreement related to the private placement of shares of
the Issuer’s capital stock for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with
the purchase of the Subscribed Shares hereunder.
10.
Rule 144. From and after such time as the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar
rule or regulation of the Commission that may allow Subscriber to sell securities of the Issuer to the public without registration are
available to holders of the Issuer’s shares of common stock and for so long as Subscriber holds the Subscribed Shares, the Issuer
agrees to:
10.1.
make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; and
10.2.
file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Issuer under the Securities Act and
the Exchange Act so long as the Issuer remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required
for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and
10.3.
furnish to Subscriber so long as it owns Subscribed Shares, as promptly as practicable upon request, (x) a written statement by
the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and
(y) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit Subscriber to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.
The Issuer shall,
if requested by the Subscriber (i) cause the removal of any restrictive legend related to compliance with the federal securities laws
set forth on the Subscribed Shares, (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 removal of such legends in such circumstances may be effected in compliance
under the Securities Act, and (iii) issue Subscribed Shares without any such legend in certificated or book-entry form or by electronic
delivery through The Depository Trust Company, at the Subscriber’s option, within two (2) Business
Days of such request,
if (A) such Subscribed Shares may be sold by the Subscriber without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume
and manner of sale restrictions, or (B) the Subscriber has sold or transferred Subscribed Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement
or in compliance with Rule 144. The Issuer’s obligation to remove legends under this paragraph may be conditioned upon the Subscriber
providing such representations and documentation (including broker representation letters) as are reasonably necessary and customarily
required in connection with the removal of restrictive legends related to compliance with the federal securities laws.
11.
Massachusetts Business Trust. If Subscriber is a Massachusetts Business Trust, a copy of the Agreement and Declaration
of Trust of Subscriber or any affiliate thereof is on file with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and notice
is hereby given that the Subscription Agreement is executed on behalf of the trustees of Subscriber or any affiliate thereof as trustees
and not individually and that the obligations of the Subscription Agreement are not binding on any of the trustees, officers or stockholders
of Subscriber or any affiliate thereof individually but are binding only upon Subscriber or any affiliate thereof and its assets
and property.

and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. If Company Stockholder is a trust, no consent
of any beneficiary is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby.
(c)
No Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, nor compliance with the terms hereof, will violate, conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default (with or
without notice or lapse of time or both) under any provision of, Company Stockholder’s organizational documents, any trust agreement,
loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, instrument, permit, concession, franchise, license,
judgment, order, notice, decree, statute, Law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to Company Stockholder or to Company Stockholder’s

in any respect of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement of the Company contained in the Transaction Agreement,
(iii) in favor of any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting of the Company to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to
approve the Transactions, (iv) in favor of the conversion of the Company Preferred Stock into the right to receive the Closing Payment
Shares on an as-converted to Company Common Stock basis contingent upon the consummation of the Transactions, (v) in favor of the termination
of the Company Affiliate Agreements, immediately prior to, and contingent upon, the consummation of the Transactions and (vi) against

subsidiaries that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect
the Transactions in any material respect or would reasonably be expected to result in any of the Company’s closing conditions or
obligations under the Transaction Agreement not being satisfied.
Each
Company Stockholder agrees not to, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, enter into any agreement, commitment or arrangement with any
person, the effect of which would be inconsistent with or violative of the provisions and agreements contained in this Section 3(a).
(b)
Each of the Company Stockholders hereby appoints Parent, as its proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution and
resubstitution, to vote or act by written consent during the term of this Agreement with respect to the Voting Shares in accordance with
Section 3(a) (but only to matters and proposals relating thereto). This proxy and power of attorney is given to secure the
performance of the duties of Company Stockholder under this Agreement. Each Company Stockholder shall take such further action or execute
such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy. This proxy and power of attorney granted by Company
Stockholder shall be irrevocable during the term of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in law
to support an irrevocable proxy and shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by Company Stockholder with respect to the Voting
Shares (but only with respect to the matters and proposals set forth in Section 3(a) hereto). The power of attorney granted by Company
Stockholder herein is a durable power of attorney and shall survive the dissolution, bankruptcy, death or incapacity of Company Stockholder.
The proxy and power of attorney granted hereunder shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement.
(c)
From time to time, at the request of the Company, each Company Stockholder shall take all such further actions, as may be necessary

Voting Shares. Each Company Stockholder hereby revokes any and all previous proxies and attorneys in fact with respect to the Voting
Shares.
5.
Transfer and Encumbrance. Each Company Stockholder agrees that during the term of this Agreement, absent the advance written
consent of Parent, Company Stockholder will not, directly or indirectly, Transfer any of his, her or its Voting Shares or enter into
any contract, option or other agreement with respect to, or consent to, a Transfer of, any of his, her or its Voting Shares or Company
Stockholder’s voting or economic interest therein. Any attempted Transfer of Voting Shares or any interest therein in violation

“cashless” exercise of options or other rights to purchase shares of common stock held by such Company Stockholder in satisfaction
of any tax withholding or exercise price obligations through cashless surrender or otherwise (each, a “Permitted Transferee”),
provided that any shares of common stock issued upon exercise of such option or other rights shall remain subject to the terms
of this Section 5; provided, however, that, in the case of clauses (b) and (c), such transferees shall enter into
a written agreement with the Company agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions set forth herein; and provided, further,
with respect to clauses (b) and (c), that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Transfer” means the (1) sale or assignment of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell, gift, hypothecate, pledge,
grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agreement to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establishment or increase

of the Exchange Act with respect to, any security, (2) entry into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or

such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (3) public announcement of any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (1)
or (2).
6.

Shares and (b) agrees not to commence or participate in any claim, derivative or otherwise, against the Company relating to the negotiation,
execution or delivery of this Agreement or the Transaction Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, including any claim (i)
challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or (ii) alleging a breach of any
fiduciary duty of the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction Agreement or the Transactions.
7.
Lock-Up.
(a)
Subject to and contingent upon the consummation of the Transactions, the Company Stockholders may not Transfer any shares of common
stock received by the Company Stockholders as consideration in the Transactions (“Lock-up Shares”) until the end of
the period beginning on the closing date of the Transactions and ending on the date of the opening of the first trading window at least
150 days after the closing date of the Transactions (the “Lock-up Period”). The Lock-up Shares shall carry appropriate
legends indicating the restrictions on Transfer imposed by this Section 7, including as required by Section 151(f) of the DGCL
in respect to uncertificated stock.
(b)
Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Section 7(a), the Company Stockholders or their respective Permitted Transferees
may Transfer the Lock-up Shares during the Lock-up Period to any Permitted Transferee (with such definition applying mutatis mutandis
to the Lock-up Shares as if set forth fully herein), provided that any shares of common stock issued upon exercise of option
or other rights pursuant to clause (e) of the definition of Permitted Transferee shall remain subject to the terms of this Section
7; provided, however, that, in the case
of
clauses (b) and (c) of the definition of Permitted Transferee, such transferees shall enter into a written agreement with Newco agreeing
to be bound by the transfer restrictions set forth herein; and provided, further, with respect to clauses (b) and (c) of
the definition of Permitted Transferee, that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value.
8.
Termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the earliest to occur of (a) the Effective Time and (b)
the date on which the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; provided, that, in the event the Transactions
are consummated, the obligations of the Company Stockholders with respect to the Lock-up Shares shall survive any termination of this
Agreement until the expiration of the Lock-up Period. Upon termination of this Agreement, no party shall have any further obligations
or liabilities under this Agreement; provided, that nothing in this Section 8 shall relieve any party of liability
for any willful breach of this Agreement occurring prior to termination.
9.
No Agreement as Director or Officer. Each Company Stockholder is signing this Agreement solely in its capacity as a Company
Stockholder, as applicable. No Company Stockholder makes any agreement or understanding in this Agreement in such Company Stockholder’s
capacity (or in the capacity of any Affiliate, partner or employee of Company Stockholder) as a director or officer of the Company (if
Company Stockholder holds such office). Nothing in this Agreement will limit or affect any actions or omissions taken by a Company Stockholder
in his, her or its capacity as a director or officer of the Company, and no actions or omissions taken in any Company Stockholder’s
capacity as a director or officer shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to prohibit,
limit or restrict a Company Stockholder from exercising his or her fiduciary duties as an officer or director to the Company or its stockholders,
as applicable.
10.
Specific Enforcement. Monetary damages would not adequately compensate an injured party for the breach of this Agreement
by any party hereto and, accordingly, this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable, in addition to any other remedy to which such
injured party is entitled at law or in equity, and any breach of this Agreement shall be the proper subject of a temporary or permanent
injunction or restraining order. Further, each party hereto waives any claim or defense that there is an adequate remedy at law for such
breach or threatened breach or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity and agrees
that a party’s rights would be materially and adversely affected if the obligations of the other parties under this Agreement were
not carried out in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
11.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Transaction Agreement supersede all prior agreements, written or oral, among the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and contain the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is
signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement, or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver
is to be effective. No waiver of any provisions hereof by either party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provisions hereof by such
party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such party.
12.

to have been given (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a

Governing Law. This Agreement, the rights and duties of the parties hereto, and any disputes (whether in contract, tort
or statute) arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with

The parties hereto irrevocably agree that all such claims shall be heard and determined in such a Delaware federal or state court, and
that such jurisdiction of such courts with respect thereto will be exclusive. Each party hereto hereby waives, and agrees not to assert,

or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in such courts or that the venue thereof may not be
appropriate or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts. The parties hereto hereby consent to and grant any such
court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and over the subject matter of any such dispute and agree that mailing of process
or other papers in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 12 or in such other
manner as may be permitted by Law, will be valid and sufficient service thereof.
(b)
Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent not prohibited by applicable Law that cannot be waived, each of the parties hereto
irrevocably waives any right it may have to trial by jury in respect of any litigation based on, arising out of, under or in connection
with this Agreement, including but not limited to any course of conduct, course of dealing, oral or written statement or action of any
party hereto.
(c)
Severability. The invalidity of any portion hereof shall not affect the validity, force or effect of the remaining portions

such restriction shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by Law.
(d)
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts for the convenience of the parties hereto, each
of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart

without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, be assigned by operation of law or otherwise, and any attempted assignment
shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective heirs, successors, permitted assigns and legal representatives, and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended
to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason

Registration Rights.
2.1.
Demand Registrations.
(a)
(i) As soon as practicable but no later than thirty (30) calendar days following the closing of the Merger (the “Filing
Date”), the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a shelf registration statement under Rule 415 of the Securities
Act (such registration statement, a “Shelf Registration Statement”) covering the resale of all the Registrable Securities
(determined as of two business days prior to such filing) on a delayed or continuous basis and shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof and no later than
the earlier of (x) the ninetieth (90th) calendar day following the Filing Date if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review”
the Shelf Registration Statement and (y) the tenth (10th) business day after the date the Company is notified in writing by the SEC that
such Shelf Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. Such Shelf Registration
Statement shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods
legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. The Company shall maintain the Shelf Registration Statement in accordance
with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements
as may be necessary to keep a Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use to permit all Holders named therein
to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as
there are no longer any Registrable Securities. In the event the Company files a Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-1, the Company
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert such Shelf Registration Statement to a Shelf Registration Statement on Form
S-3 as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3.
(ii)
Subject to Section 2.1(c) and the provisions below with respect to the Minimum Threshold, following the expiration of any
applicable lock-up agreement, each Holder (or Holders) shall have the right at any time and from time to time to elect to sell all or
any part of its Registrable Securities pursuant to an underwritten offering pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement by delivering
a written request therefor to the Company specifying the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and the
intended method of distribution thereof. The Holder or Holders shall make such election by delivering to the Company a written request
(a “Shelf Underwriting Request”) for such underwritten offering specifying the number of Registrable Securities that
the Holder or Holders desire to sell pursuant to such underwritten offering (the “Shelf Underwriting”). With respect
to any Shelf Underwriting Request, the Holder or Holders making such demand shall be referred to as the “Shelf Underwriting
Initiating Holders”. As promptly as practicable, but no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of a Shelf Underwriting
Request, the Company shall give written notice (the “Shelf Underwriting Notice”) of such Shelf Underwriting Request
to the Holders of record of other Registrable Securities registered on such Shelf Registration Statement (“Shelf Registrable
Securities”). The Company, subject to Sections 2.3 and 2.6, shall include in such Shelf Underwriting (x) the
Registrable Securities of the Shelf Underwriting Initiating Holders and (y) the Shelf Registrable Securities of any other Holder
of Shelf Registrable Securities which shall have made a written request to the Company for inclusion in such Shelf Underwriting (which
request shall specify the maximum number of Shelf Registrable Securities intended to be disposed
of
by such Holder) within five (5) days after the receipt of the Shelf Underwriting Notice. The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible
(and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days after the receipt of a Shelf Underwriting Request), but subject to Section 2.1(b),
use its reasonable best efforts to effect such Shelf Underwriting. The Company shall, at the request of any Shelf Underwriting Initiating
Holder or any other Holder of Registrable Securities registered on such Shelf Registration Statement, file any prospectus supplement
or, if the applicable Shelf Registration Statement is an automatic shelf registration statement, any post-effective amendments and otherwise
take any action necessary to include therein all disclosure and language deemed necessary or advisable by the Shelf Underwriting Initiating
Holders or any other Holder of Shelf Registrable Securities to effect such Shelf Underwriting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Section 2.1(a)(ii), each Shelf Underwriting must include, in the aggregate, Registrable Securities having an aggregate
market value of at least the Minimum Threshold (based on the Registrable Securities included in such Shelf Underwriting by all Participating
Holders). In connection with any Shelf Underwriting (including an Underwritten Block Trade), the Company shall have the right to designate
the Manager and each other managing underwriter in connection with any such Shelf Underwriting or Underwritten Block Trade, subject to
Shelf Underwriting Initiating Holders’ reasonable approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Shelf Underwriting Initiating Holder
wishes to engage in an underwritten block trade or similar transaction or other transaction with a 2-day or less marketing period (collectively,
“Underwritten Block Trade”) off of a Shelf Registration Statement, then notwithstanding the foregoing time periods,
such Shelf Underwriting Initiating Holder only needs to notify the Company of the Underwritten Block Trade two (2) Business Days prior
to the day such offering is to commence and the Holders of record of other Registrable Securities shall not be entitled to notice of
such Underwritten Block Trade and shall not be entitled to participate in such Underwritten Block Trade.
(b)
(i) At any time after the first anniversary of the Closing Date that a Shelf Registration Statement as required by Section 2.1(a)
is not available for use by the Holders (a “Demand Registration Period”) other than pursuant to Section 2.1(c),
subject to this Section 2.1(b) and Sections 2.1(c) and 2.3) and the provisions below with respect to the
Minimum Threshold, at any time and from time to time during such Demand Registration Period, each Initiating Holder (or Initiating Holders)
shall have the right to require the Company to effect one or more registration statements under the Securities Act covering all or any
part of its Registrable Securities by delivering a written request therefor to the Company specifying the number of Registrable Securities
to be included in such registration and the intended method of distribution thereof. Any such request by any Initiating Holder or Initiating
Holders pursuant to this Section 2.1(b)(i) is referred to herein as a “Demand Registration Request,”
and the registration so requested is referred to herein as a “Demand Registration”. Subject to Section 2.1(c),
the Initiating Holders shall be entitled to request (and the Company shall be required to effect) an unlimited number of Demand Registrations.
The Company shall give written notice (the “Demand Exercise Notice”) of such Demand Registration Request to each of
the Holders of record of Registrable Securities in accordance with Section 2.2, and, subject to Sections 2.3 and 2.6,
shall include in a Demand Registration (x) the Registrable Securities of the Initiating Holders and (y) the Registrable Securities
of any other Holder of Registrable Securities which shall have made a written request to the Company for inclusion in such registration
pursuant to Section 2.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1(b)(i), each Demand Registration
must include, in the aggregate, Registrable Securities having an aggregate market value of at least the Minimum Threshold (based on the
Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration by all
Holders
participating in such Demand Registration). In connection with any Demand Registration, the Company shall have the right to designate
the Manager and each other managing underwriter in connection with any underwritten offering pursuant to such registration, subject to
the Initiating Holders’ reasonable approval; provided that in each case, each such underwriter is reasonably satisfactory
to the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(ii)
The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible, but subject to Section 2.1(c), use its reasonable best efforts to
(x) file or confidentially submit with the SEC (no later than (A) sixty (60) days from the Company’s receipt of the applicable
Demand Registration Request if the Demand Registration is on Form S-1 or similar long-form registration and or (B) thirty (30)
days from the Company’s receipt of the applicable Demand Registration Request if the Demand Registration is on Form S-3 or
any similar short-form registration), (y) cause to be declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable such registration statement
under the Securities Act that includes the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register for distribution
in accordance with the intended method of distribution, and (z) if requested by the Initiating Holders, obtain acceleration of the
effective date of the registration statement relating to such registration.
(c)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(b), the Shelf Underwriting and Demand
Registration rights granted in Section 2.1 (a) and Section 2.1(b) are subject to the following limitations: (i) the
Company shall not be required to cause a registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2.1(b) to be declared effective
within a period of ninety (90) days after the effective date of any other registration statement of the Company filed pursuant to the
Securities Act (other than a Form S-4, Form S-8 or a comparable form or an equivalent registration form then in effect); (ii) the
Company shall not be required to effect more than three (3) Demand Registrations on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration
statement at the request of the Holders in the aggregate; (iii) if the Board, in its good faith judgment, determines that any registration
of Registrable Securities or Shelf Underwriting should not be made or continued because it would materially and adversely interfere with
any existing or potential financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization, merger, share exchange or other transaction or event involving
the Company or any of its subsidiaries or would otherwise result in the public disclosure of information that the Board in good faith
has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential (a “Valid Business Reason”), then (x) the Company may
postpone filing or confidentially submitting a registration statement relating to a Demand Registration Request or a prospectus supplement
relating to a Shelf Underwriting Request until five (5) Business Days after such Valid Business Reason no longer exists, but in no event
for more than forty-five (45) days after the date the Board determines a Valid Business Reason exists or (y) if a registration statement
has been filed or confidentially submitted relating to a Demand Registration Request or a prospectus supplement has been filed relating
to a Shelf Underwriting Request, the Company may, to the extent determined in the good faith judgment of the Board to be reasonably necessary
to avoid interference with any of the transactions described above, suspend use of or, if required by the SEC, cause such registration
statement to be withdrawn and its effectiveness terminated or may postpone amending or supplementing such registration statement until
five (5) Business Days after such Valid Business Reason no longer exists, but in no event for more than forty-five (45) days after the
date the Board determines a Valid Business Reason exists (such period of postponement or withdrawal under this clause (iv), the
“Postponement Period”). The Company shall give written notice to the Initiating Holders or Shelf Underwriting Initiating
Holders and any
other
Holders that have requested registration pursuant to Section 2.2 of its determination to postpone or suspend use of or withdraw
a registration statement and of the fact that the Valid Business Reason for such postponement or suspension or withdrawal no longer exists,
in each case, promptly after the occurrence thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be entitled to more
than two (2) Postponement Periods during any twelve (12) month period.
Each
Holder of Registrable Securities agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company that the Company has determined to suspend
use of, withdraw, terminate or postpone amending or supplementing any registration statement pursuant to clause (c)(iii) above,
such Holder will discontinue its disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. If the Company shall
have suspended use of, withdrawn or terminated a registration statement filed under Section 2.1(b)(i) (whether pursuant
to clause (c)(iii) above or as a result of any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental
agency or court), the Company shall not be considered to have effected a Demand Registration for the purposes of this Agreement and such
request shall not count as a Demand Registration Request under this Agreement until the Company shall have permitted use of such suspended
registration statement or filed a new registration statement covering the Registrable Securities covered by the withdrawn or terminated
registration statement and such registration statement shall have been declared effective and shall not have been withdrawn. If the Company
shall give any notice of suspension, withdrawal or postponement of a registration statement, the Company shall, not later than five (5)
Business Days after the Valid Business Reason that caused such suspension, withdrawal or postponement no longer exists (but, with respect
to a suspension, withdrawal or postponement pursuant to clause (c)(iii) above, in no event later than forty-five (45) days after
the date of the suspension, postponement or withdrawal), as applicable, permit use of such suspended registration statement or use its
reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities covered by the withdrawn or
postponed registration statement in accordance with this Section 2.1 (unless the Initiating Holders or Shelf Underwriting
Initiating Holders shall have withdrawn such request, in which case the Company shall not be considered to have effected a Demand Registration
for the purposes of this Agreement and such request shall not count as a Demand Registration Request under this Agreement), and following
such permission or such effectiveness such registration shall no longer be deemed to be suspended, withdrawn or postponed pursuant to
clause (iv) of Section 2.1(c) above.
(d)
No Demand Registration shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of Section 2.1(b) (i) if the registration
statement relating thereto (x) does not become effective, (y) is not maintained effective for a period of at least one hundred
eighty (180) days after the effective date thereof or such shorter period during which all Registrable Securities included in such Registration
Statement have actually been sold (provided, however, that such period shall be extended for a period of time equal to
the period any Holder of Registrable Securities refrains from selling any securities included in such Registration Statement at the request
of the Company or an underwriter of the Company), or (z) is subject to a stop order, injunction, or similar order or requirement
of the SEC during such period, (ii) for each Initiating Holder, if less than seventy five percent (75%) of the Registrable Securities
requested by such Initiating Holder to be included in such Demand Registration are not so included pursuant to Section 2.3,
(iii) if the method of disposition is a firm commitment underwritten public offering and less than seventy five percent (75%) of
the applicable Registrable Securities have not been sold pursuant thereto (excluding any
Registrable
Securities included for sale in the underwriters’ overallotment option) or (iv) if the conditions to closing specified in
any underwriting agreement, purchase agreement or similar agreement entered into in connection with the registration relating to such
request are not satisfied (other than as a result of a default or breach thereunder by such Initiating Holder(s) or its Affiliates or
are otherwise waived by such Initiating Holder(s)).
(e)
Any Initiating Holder may withdraw or revoke a Demand Registration Request delivered by such Initiating Holder at any time prior
to the effectiveness of such Demand Registration by giving written notice to the Company of such withdrawal or revocation and such Demand
Registration shall have no further force or effect and such request shall not count as a Demand Registration Request under this Agreement.
2.2.
Piggyback Registrations.
(a)
If the Company proposes or is required to register any of its equity securities for its own account or for the account of any
other shareholder under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any similar successor
forms thereto), the Company shall give written notice (the “Piggyback Notice”) of its intention to do so to each of
the Holders of record of Registrable Securities, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the filing of any registration statement under
the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may delay any Piggyback Notice until after filing a registration statement,
so long as all recipients of such notice have the same amount of time to determine whether to participate in an offering as they would
have had if such notice had not been so delayed. Upon the written request of any such Holder, made within five (5) days following the
receipt of any such Piggyback Notice (which request shall specify the maximum number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed
of by such Holder and the intended method of distribution thereof), the Company shall, subject to Sections 2.2(c), 2.3
and 2.6 hereof, use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities, the Holders of which have so requested
the registration thereof, to be registered under the Securities Act with the securities which the Company at the time proposes to register
to permit the sale or other disposition by the Holders (in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof) of the Registrable
Securities to be so registered, including, if necessary, by filing with the SEC a post-effective amendment or a supplement to the registration
statement filed by the Company or the prospectus related thereto. There is no limitation on the number of such piggyback registrations
which the Company is obligated to effect pursuant to the preceding sentence. No registration of Registrable Securities effected under
this Section 2.2(a) shall relieve the Company of its obligations to effect Demand Registrations under Section 2.1
hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.2 shall not apply to any Underwritten Block Trade.
(b)
Other than in connection with a Demand Registration or a Shelf Underwriting, at any time after giving a Piggyback Notice and prior
to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, if the Company shall determine for any
reason not to register or to delay registration of such equity securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such
determination to all Holders of record of Registrable Securities and (x) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be
relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such abandoned registration, without prejudice,
however, to the rights of Holders under Section 2.1, and (y) in the case of a
determination
to delay such registration of its equity securities, shall be permitted to delay the registration of such Registrable Securities for
the same period as the delay in registering such other equity securities.
(c)
Any Holder shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement
pursuant to this Section 2.2 by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw; provided, however,
that such request must be made in writing prior to the earlier of the execution by such Holder of the underwriting agreement or the execution
by such Holder of the custody agreement with respect to such registration or as otherwise required by the underwriters.
2.3.
Allocation of Securities Included in Registration Statement.
(a)
If any requested registration or offering made pursuant to Section 2.1 (including a Shelf Underwriting) involves an
underwritten offering and the Manager of such offering shall advise the Company in good faith that, in its view, the number of securities
requested to be included in such underwritten offering by the Holders of Registrable Securities, the Company or any other Persons exercising
contractual registration rights (“Additional Piggyback Rights”) exceeds the largest number of securities (the “Section 2.3(a)
Sale Number”) that can be sold in an orderly manner in such underwritten offering within a price range acceptable to the Initiating
Holders and the Majority Participating Holders, the Company shall include in such underwritten offering:
(i)
first, all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such underwritten offering by the Holders thereof (including pursuant
to the exercise of piggyback rights pursuant to Section 2.2); provided, however, that if the number of such
Registrable Securities exceeds the Section 2.3(a) Sale Number, the number of such Registrable Securities (not to exceed the Section 2.3(a)
Sale Number) to be included in such underwritten offering shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among all Holders (including each Initiating
Holder) requesting that Registrable Securities be included in such underwritten offering (including pursuant to the exercise of piggyback
rights pursuant to Section 2.2), based on the number of Registrable Securities then owned by each such Holder requesting
inclusion in relation to the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by all Holders requesting inclusion; and
(ii)
second, to the extent that the number of Registrable Securities to be included pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.3(a)
is less than the Section 2.3(a) Sale Number, any securities that the Company proposes to register for its own account, up to
the Section 2.3(a) Sale Number; and (iii) third, to the extent that the number of securities to be included pursuant to clauses
(i) and (ii) of this Section 2.3(a) is less than the Section 2.3(a) Sale Number, the remaining securities
to be included in such underwritten offering shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among all Persons other than Holders requesting that
securities be included in such underwritten offering pursuant to the exercise of Additional Piggyback Rights (“Piggyback Shares”),
based on the aggregate number of Piggyback Shares then owned by each Person requesting inclusion in relation to the aggregate number
of Piggyback Shares owned by all Persons requesting inclusion, up to the Section 2.3(a) Sale Number.
(b)
If any registration or offering made pursuant to Section 2.2 involves an underwritten primary offering on behalf of
the Company and the Manager shall advise the Company that, in its view, the number of securities requested to be included in such underwritten
offering by the Holders of Registrable Securities, the Company or any other Persons exercising Additional Piggyback Rights exceeds the
largest number of securities (the “Section 2.3(b) Sale Number”) that can be sold in an orderly manner in such
underwritten offering within a price range acceptable to the Company, the Company shall include in such underwritten offering:
(i)
first, all equity securities that the Company proposes to register for its own account; and
(ii)
second, to the extent that the number of securities to be included pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.3(b)
is less than the Section 2.3(b) Sale Number, the remaining Registrable Securities to be included in such underwritten offering
shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among all Holders requesting that Registrable Securities be included in such underwritten offering
pursuant to the exercise of piggyback rights pursuant to Section 2.2(a), based on the aggregate number of Registrable Securities
then owned by each such Holder requesting inclusion in relation to the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by all Holders
requesting inclusion, up to the Section 2.3(b) Sale Number; and (iii) third, to the extent that the number of securities to
be included pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.3(b) is less than the Section 2.3(b) Sale Number,
the remaining securities to be included in such underwritten offering shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among all Persons requesting
that Piggyback Shares be included in such underwritten offering pursuant to the exercise of Additional Piggyback Rights, based on the
aggregate number of Piggyback Shares then owned by each Person requesting inclusion in relation to the aggregate number of Piggyback
Shares owned by all Persons requesting inclusion, up to the Section 2.3(b) Sale Number.
(c)
If any registration pursuant to Section 2.2 involves an underwritten offering that was initially requested by any
Person(s) (other than a Holder) to whom the Company has granted registration rights which are not inconsistent with the rights granted
in, and do not otherwise conflict with the terms of, this Agreement and the Manager shall advise the Company that, in its view, the number
of securities requested to be included in such underwritten offering exceeds the largest number of securities (the “Section 2.3(c)
Sale Number”) that can be sold in an orderly manner in such underwritten offering within a price range acceptable to the Company,
the Company shall include in such underwritten offering:
(i)
first, the shares requested to be included in such underwritten offering shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among such Person(s)
requesting the registration and all Holders requesting that Registrable Securities be included in such underwritten offering pursuant
to the exercise of piggyback rights pursuant to Section 2.2(a), based on the aggregate number of securities or Registrable
Securities, as applicable, then owned by each of the foregoing requesting inclusion in relation to the aggregate number of securities
or Registrable Securities, as applicable, owned by all such Persons and Holders requesting inclusion, up to the Section 2.3(c) Sale
Number; and
(ii)
second, to the extent that the number of securities to be included pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.3(c)
is less than the Section 2.3(c) Sale Number, the
remaining
securities to be included in such underwritten offering shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among all Persons requesting that Piggyback
Shares be included in such underwritten offering pursuant to the exercise of Additional Piggyback Rights, based on the aggregate number
of Piggyback Shares then owned by each Person requesting inclusion in relation to the aggregate number of Piggyback Shares owned by all
Persons requesting inclusion, up to the Section 2.3(c) Sale Number; and (iii) third, to the extent that the number of securities
to be included pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.3(c) is less than the Section 2.3(c) Sale
Number, any equity securities that the Company proposes to register for its own account, up to the Section 2.3(c) Sale Number.
(d)
If, as a result of the proration provisions set forth in clauses (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 2.3,
any Holder shall not be entitled to include all Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering that such Holder has requested be
included, such Holder may elect to withdraw such Holder’s request to include Registrable Securities in the registration to which
such underwritten offering relates or may reduce the number requested to be included; provided, however, that (x) such
request must be made in writing prior to the earlier of such Holder’s execution of the underwriting agreement or such Holder’s
execution of the custody agreement with respect to such registration and (y) such withdrawal or reduction shall be irrevocable and,
after making such withdrawal or reduction, such Holder shall no longer have any right to include Registrable Securities in the registration
as to which such withdrawal or reduction was made to the extent of the Registrable Securities so withdrawn or reduced.
2.4.
Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of this Agreement to effect or cause
the registration of and/or participate in any offering or sale of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in
this Agreement (or use reasonable best efforts to accomplish the same), the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:
(a)
prepare and file all filings with the SEC and FINRA as soon as practicable required for the consummation of the offering, including
preparing and filing with the SEC a registration statement on an appropriate registration form of the SEC for the disposition of such
Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, which registration form (i) shall be selected
by the Company (except as provided for in a Demand Registration Request) and (ii) shall, in the case of a shelf registration, be
available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the selling Holders thereof and such registration statement shall comply as to
form in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable registration form and include all financial statements required
by the SEC to be filed therewith, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become
effective and remain continuously effective for such period as required by this Agreement (provided, however, that as far
in advance as reasonably practicable before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, or
comparable statements under securities or state “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction, or any free writing prospectus related
thereto, the Company will furnish to the Holders participating in the planned offering and to the Manager, if any, copies of all such
documents proposed to be filed (including all exhibits thereto), which documents will be subject to their reasonable review and reasonable
comment and the Company shall not file any registration statement or amendment thereto, any prospectus or supplement thereto or any free
writing prospectus related thereto to which the Initiating Holders, the Majority Participating
Holders
or the underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
shall the Company be required to file any document with the SEC which in the view of the Company or its counsel contains an untrue statement
of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make any statement therein not misleading;
(b)
(i) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used
in connection therewith and such free writing prospectuses and Exchange Act reports as may be necessary to keep such registration statement
continuously effective for such period as required by this Agreement and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect
to the sale or other disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, and any prospectus so supplemented
to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller
or sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement and (ii) provide notice to such sellers of Registrable Securities and
the Manager, if any, of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a registration statement would
be appropriate;
(c)
furnish, without charge, to each Participating Holder and each underwriter, if any, of the securities covered by such registration
statement such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits),
the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus) and any other
prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the Securities Act, each free writing prospectus utilized in connection therewith, in each
case, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and other documents, as such seller and underwriter may reasonably request
in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller (the Company hereby consenting
to the use in accordance with all applicable laws of each such registration statement (or amendment or post-effective amendment thereto)
and each such prospectus (or preliminary prospectus or supplement thereto) or free writing prospectus by each such Participating Holder
and the underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement
or prospectus);
(d)
use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under
such other securities or state “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as any sellers of Registrable Securities or any managing
underwriter, if any, shall reasonably request in writing, and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary
or advisable to enable such sellers or underwriter, if any, to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions
(including keeping such registration or qualification in effect for so long as such registration statement remains in effect), except
that in no event shall the Company be required to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it would
not, but for the requirements of this paragraph (d), be required to be so qualified, to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction
or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;
(e)
promptly notify each Participating Holder and each managing underwriter, if any: (i) when the registration statement, any
pre-effective amendment, the prospectus or any
prospectus
supplement related thereto, any post-effective amendment to the registration statement or any free writing prospectus has been filed
with the SEC and, with respect to the registration statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of
any request by the SEC or state securities authority for amendments or supplements to the registration statement or the prospectus related
thereto or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration
statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect
to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or state “blue sky” laws
of any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; (v) of the existence of any fact of which the Company
becomes aware which results in the registration statement or any amendment thereto, the prospectus related thereto or any supplement
thereto, any document incorporated therein by reference, any free writing prospectus or the information conveyed at the time of sale
to any purchaser containing an untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state a material fact required to be stated therein
