This SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Securities Purchase Agreement”) is entered into on February 12, 2020, by and among B. Riley Principal Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation (“BRPM”), BRC Partners Opportunity Fund, LP (“BRCPOF”) and [__________] (the “Purchaser”).

(c) This Securities Purchase Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by BRPM and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the same by the Purchaser, is the valid and legally binding obligation of BRPM, enforceable against BRPM in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors generally and by the availability of equitable remedies.

(d) The execution and delivery of this Securities Purchase Agreement, the issuance of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants and the compliance by BRPM with all of the provisions of this Securities Purchase Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of BRPM pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which BRPM is a party or by which BRPM is bound or to which any of the property or assets of BRPM is subject, which would have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of BRPM, taken as a whole, or the ability of BRPM to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the issuance and sale of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants (a “BRPM Material Adverse Effect”); (ii) the organizational documents of BRPM; or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over BRPM or any of its properties that would have a BRPM Material Adverse Effect.

(b) This Securities Purchase Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser, and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the same by BRPM, this Securities Purchase Agreement shall constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors generally and by the availability of equitable remedies.

(c) The execution and delivery of this Securities Purchase Agreement, the purchase of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants and the compliance by the Purchaser with all of the provisions of this Securities Purchase Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Purchaser pursuant to the terms of, (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Purchaser is subject; (ii) the organizational documents of the Purchaser; or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Purchaser or any of its properties that, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Purchaser’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the purchase of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants (a “Purchaser Material Adverse Effect”).

(d) The Purchaser (i) is an “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act) satisfying the applicable requirements set forth on Schedule A, (ii) is acquiring the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants only for its own account and not for the account of others, or if the Purchaser is subscribing for the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, each owner of such account is a qualified institutional buyer and the Purchaser has full investment discretion with respect to each such account, and the full power and authority to make the acknowledgements, representations and agreements herein on behalf of each owner of each such account, and (iii) is not acquiring the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act (and has provided BRPM with the requested information on Schedule A following the signature page hereto). The Purchaser is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants.

(e) The Purchaser understands that the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act. The Purchaser understands that the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants may not be resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by the Purchaser absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, except (i) to BRPM or a subsidiary thereof, or (ii) pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and, in each of cases (i) and (ii), in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states and other jurisdictions of the United States, and that any certificates or book-entry position representing the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants shall contain a legend to such effect. The Purchaser understands that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of any of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants.

(f) The Purchaser understands and agrees that the Purchaser is purchasing the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants directly from BRCPOF. The Purchaser further acknowledges that there have not been, and the Purchaser is not relying on, any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made to the Purchaser by BRPM, BRCPOF, any other party to the Business Combination or any other person or entity, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of BRPM and BRCPOF included in this Securities Purchase Agreement. The Purchaser acknowledges that certain information provided by BRPM was based on projections, and such projections were prepared based on assumptions and estimates that are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections.

(g) In making its decision to purchase the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants, the Purchaser has relied solely upon independent investigation made by the Purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser has not relied on any statements or other information provided by BRPM or BRCPOF (other than as set forth herein) or any Placement Agent concerning BRPM, BRCPOF, the Business Combination or the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser has received such information as the Purchaser deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants, including with respect to BRPM, BRCPOF, the Business Combination and the Target. The Purchaser represents and agrees that the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants.

(h) The Purchaser became aware of this purchase of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants solely by means of direct contact between the Purchaser, BRCPOF and BRPM or by means of contact from the Placement Agents, and the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants were offered to the Purchaser solely by direct contact between the Purchaser, BRCPOF and BRPM or by contact between the Purchaser and the Placement Agents. The Purchaser did not become aware of this offering of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants, nor were the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants offered to the Purchaser, by any other means. The Purchaser acknowledges that BRPM represents and warrants that the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

(i) The Purchaser acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants. The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants, and the Purchaser has had an opportunity to seek, and has sought, such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Purchaser has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision.

(j) The Purchaser has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants and determined that the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants are a suitable investment for the Purchaser and that the Purchaser is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of the Purchaser’s investment in BRPM. The Purchaser acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

(k) The Purchaser understands and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.

(l) The Purchaser does not have, as of the date hereof, and during the 30-day period immediately prior to the date hereof the Purchaser has not entered into, any “put equivalent position” as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act or short sale positions with respect to the securities of BRPM.

(m) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the book-entry position representing the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants (or each certificate representing such securities if subsequently requested and obtained by the Purchaser) will bear or reflect, as applicable, a legend substantially similar to the following:

“THIS SECURITY WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF BRPM THAT (A) THIS SECURITY MAY BE OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY (I) PURSUANT TO ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, (II) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (III) TO BRPM, IN EACH OF CASES (I) THROUGH (III) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND (B) THE HOLDER WILL NOTIFY ANY SUBSEQUENT PURCHASER OF THIS SECURITY FROM IT OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS REFERRED TO IN (A) ABOVE. BRPM MAY REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF A WRITTEN OPINION OF COUNSEL, CERTIFICATIONS AND/OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION IT REASONABLY REQUIRES TO CONFIRM THE SECURITIES ACT EXEMPTION FOR SUCH TRANSACTION.”

(n) The Purchaser’s acquisition and holding of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any applicable similar law.

(o) If the Purchaser is not a U.S. person as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act or a United States person as defined in the Code, the Purchaser hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants or any use of this Securities Purchase Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants. The Purchaser’s payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Purchaser’s jurisdiction.

(p) The Purchaser is not (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program, (ii) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, or (iii) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank (collectively, a “Prohibited Investor”). The Purchaser agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that the Purchaser is permitted to do so under applicable law. If the Purchaser is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.) (the “BSA”), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), the Purchaser maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. To the extent required, the Purchaser maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List. The Purchaser also represents that, to the extent required, the Purchaser maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by the Purchaser and used to purchase the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants were legally derived.

(q) The Purchaser acknowledges that in connection with the offer and sale of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants, (i) no disclosure or offering document has been delivered to the Purchaser by any Placement Agent or any of their respective affiliates and (ii) no Placement Agent has acted as the Purchaser’s financial advisor or fiduciary.

(r) Except for the specific representations and warranties contained in this Section 7 and in any certificate or agreement delivered pursuant hereto, none of the Purchaser nor any person acting on behalf of the Purchaser nor any of the Purchaser’s affiliates (the “Purchaser Parties”) has made, makes or shall be deemed to make any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Purchaser and this offering, and the Purchaser Parties disclaim any such representation or warranty. Except for the specific representations and warranties expressly made by BRPM in Section 5 of this Agreement and by BRCPOF in Section 6 of this Agreement and in any certificate or agreement delivered pursuant hereto, the Purchaser specifically disclaims that it, or anyone on its behalf, is relying upon any representations or warranties that may have been made by BRPM, BRCPOF or any person acting on behalf of BRPM, BRCPOF or any of their respective affiliates.

8. Registration Rights. BRPM agrees that, within fifteen (15) business days after the consummation of the Business Combination, BRPM will file with the SEC (at BRPM’s sole cost and expense) the Registration Statement registering the resale of the Covered Securities, and BRPM shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof. BRPM agrees that it will cause such registration statement or another shelf registration statement to remain effective until the earlier of (i) two years from the issuance of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants and (ii) the first date on which the Purchaser can sell all of the Covered Securities (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of the Securities Act within 90 days without limitation as to the amount of such securities that may be sold. BRPM may delay filing or suspend the use of any such registration statement if BRPM delivers to the holders of the Purchased Shares a certificate signed by an officer of BRPM certifying that, in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of BRPM, such registration and the offering pursuant thereto would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect or materially interfere with any bona fide material financing or transaction of BRPM or would require disclosure of information that has not been disclosed to the public, the premature disclosure of which would materially adversely affect BRPM. Such certificate shall contain a statement of the reasons for such postponement and an approximation of the anticipated delay. The holders receiving such certificate shall keep the information contained in such certificate confidential. BRPM’s obligations to include the Covered Securities (or shares issued in exchange therefor) in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Purchaser’s timely furnishing in writing to BRPM such information regarding the Purchaser, the securities of BRPM held by the Purchaser and the intended method of disposition of the Covered Securities as shall be reasonably requested by BRPM to effect the registration of the Covered Securities, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as BRPM may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations.

9. Termination. This Securities Purchase Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (a) such date and time as the Business Combination Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms and (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Securities Purchase Agreement; provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such breach. BRPM shall promptly notify the Purchaser of any termination of the Business Combination Agreement promptly after the termination thereof.
