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:

b. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 2(c) and 2(d) (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the closing of the Company Merger pursuant to the Combination Agreement, but without affecting the requirement that such conditions be satisfied or waived at the closing of the Company Merger):

The execution and delivery by Subscriber of this Subscription Agreement, and the performance by Subscriber of its obligations under this Subscription Agreement, including the purchase of the Acquired Shares and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated herein, will not (i) 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 Subscriber pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which Subscriber is a party or by which Subscriber is bound or to which any of the property or assets of Subscriber is subject, which would be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial condition, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of Subscriber, taken as a whole (a “Subscriber Material Adverse Effect”), or materially affect the legal authority of Subscriber to comply in all material respects with the terms of this Subscription Agreement; (ii) result in a violation of the organizational documents of Subscriber; or (iii) result in a 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 or any of Subscriber’s properties that would be reasonably expected to have a Subscriber Material Adverse Effect or materially affect the legal authority of Subscriber to comply in all material respects with this Subscription Agreement.

e. Subscriber (i) is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act) or an institutional “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act), in each case, satisfying the applicable requirements set forth on Schedule A, and an “Institutional Account” as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c), (ii) is acquiring the Acquired Shares only for its own account and not for the account of others, or if Subscriber is subscribing for the Acquired Shares as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, each owner of such account is independently a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined above) and Subscriber 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 Acquired Shares with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States or any other jurisdiction. Subscriber has completed Schedule A following the signature page hereto and the information contained therein is accurate and complete. Subscriber is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Acquired Shares, unless Subscriber is a newly formed entity in which all of the equity owners are accredited investors and is an “institutional account” as defined by FINRA Rule 4512(c). Accordingly, Subscriber is aware that this offering of the Acquired Shares meets the exemptions from filing under FINRA Rule 5123(b)(1)(A), (C) or (J).

f. Subscriber understands that the Acquired Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Acquired Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States or any other jurisdiction.

Subscriber acknowledges that the Acquired Shares will not immediately be eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Subscriber understands and agrees that the Acquired Shares will be subject to transfer restrictions and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, Subscriber may not be able to readily resell the Acquired Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Acquired Shares for an indefinite period of time. Subscriber understands that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or Transfer of any of the Acquired Shares. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Transfer” shall mean any direct or indirect transfer, redemption, disposition or monetization in any manner whatsoever, including, without limitation, through any derivative transactions.

g. Subscriber understands and agrees that Subscriber is purchasing the Acquired Shares directly from the Issuer. Subscriber further acknowledges that there have been no representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made to Subscriber by GMBT, the Issuer, the Placement Agents or any of their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing or any other person or entity, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of GMBT and the Issuer included in this Subscription Agreement.

h. Subscriber’s acquisition and holding of the Acquired Shares 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 (“ERISA”), section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any applicable similar law.

i. In making its decision to subscribe for and purchase the Acquired Shares, Subscriber represents that it has relied solely upon its own independent investigation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber has not relied on any statements or other information provided by the Placement Agents or any of their respective affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or representatives, concerning GMBT, the Issuer, the Company or the Acquired Shares or the offer and sale of the Acquired Shares.

Subscriber represents and agrees that Subscriber and Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have (i) had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as Subscriber and such Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Acquired Shares and (ii) conducted and completed its own independent due diligence with respect to the Transaction. Based upon such information as Subscriber has deemed appropriate and without reliance on the Placement Agents, Subscriber has independently made its own analysis and decision to subscribe for and purchase the Acquired Shares. Subscriber further acknowledges that the information provided to Subscriber may change after the date hereof and the Issuer is under no obligation to inform Subscriber regarding any such changes, except to the extent such changes would reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the Issuer to satisfy a condition to Subscriber’s obligations at the Closing. Except for the representations, warranties and agreements of the Issuer and GMBT expressly set forth in this Subscription Agreement, Subscriber is relying exclusively on its own sources of information, investment analysis and due diligence (including professional advice it deems appropriate) with respect to the Transaction, the Acquired Shares and the business, condition (financial and otherwise), management, operations, properties and prospects of the Issuer. 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 (including, without limitation, the Issuer, GMBT, the Company, the Placement Agents, any of their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), other than the representations and warranties of the Issuer contained in Section 3 of this Subscription Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Issuer. Subscriber further acknowledges that the Placement Agents have not made, do not make and shall not be deemed to make any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Issuer, GMBT, this offering or the Transactions.

Subscriber acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

7. Registration Rights.

a. The Issuer agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing, the Issuer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission (at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Acquired Shares (the “Registration Statement”), and to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earliest of (i) the 90th calendar day (or 135th calendar day if the Commission notifies the Issuer that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Closing and (ii) the 10th 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 “Effective Date”); provided, however, that the Issuer’s obligations to include the Acquired Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Issuer such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Issuer held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Acquired Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer to effect the registration of the Acquired Shares, 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 during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder. The Issuer shall provide a draft of the Registration Statement to Subscriber at least two (2) Business Days in advance of its anticipated initial filing date; provided that Subscriber agrees to keep confidential the receipt of such Registration Statement and the information contained therein until filed with the Commission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Issuer from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Acquired Shares by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Acquired Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Acquired Shares as is permitted by the Commission. In such event, the number of Acquired Shares to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders. Upon notification by the Commission that the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission, within two (2) Business Days thereafter, the Issuer shall file the final prospectus under Rule 424 of the Securities Act. In no event shall Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the Commission.

 

12


b. At its expense the Issuer shall:

(i) 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 applicable 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 earliest of the following: (1) Subscriber ceases to hold any Acquired Shares or (2) the date all Acquired Shares 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 promulgated under the Securities Act 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), as applicable, and three (3) years from the Effective Date of the Registration Statement.

(ii) advise Subscriber within two (2) Business Days:

(1) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has become effective;

(2) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

(3) of the receipt by the Issuer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Acquired Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

(4) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the Registration Statement or prospectus does not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact 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 other than to the extent that providing notice to Subscriber of the occurrence of the events listed in (1) through (4) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer;

(iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

(iv) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated above, 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 Acquired Shares 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;

(v) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Acquired Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Issuer Class A Shares issued by the Issuer have been listed;

(vi) use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Acquired Shares contemplated hereby;

(vii) if requested by Subscriber, remove the restrictive legend described in in Section 2(b)(ii) (or instruct its transfer agent to so remove such legend) from the Acquired Shares if (1) the Registration Statement is and continues to be effective under the Securities Act, (2) such Acquired Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (if the transferor is not an affiliate of the Issuer and subject to all applicable requirements of Rule 144 being met), or (3) such Acquired Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, 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) as to the Acquired Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions; provided that Subscriber shall have timely provided customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Issuer, its counsel and/or its transfer agent in connection therewith (the “Representations”). Any fees (with respect to the transfer agent, Issuer’s

 

13


counsel or otherwise) associated with the issuance of any legal opinion required by the Issuer’s transfer agent or the removal of such legend shall be borne by the Issuer. If a legend is no longer required pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuer will, no later than five (5) Business Days following the delivery by Subscriber to the Issuer or the transfer agent (with notice to the Issuer) of the Representations, remove the restrictive legend related to the book entry account holding the Acquired Shares and make a new, unlegended book entry for the Acquired Shares; and

c. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitled to delay or postpone the filing and/or 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, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Issuer or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event that the Issuer’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Issuer in the Registration Statement of material information that (x) the Issuer has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential or (y) cannot be immediately provided, and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Issuer’s board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Issuer may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two (2) 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 by Subscriber of any written notice from the Issuer 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 (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Acquired Shares under the Registration Statement 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, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Issuer unless the disclosure of which is otherwise required by law or subpoena (in which case Subscriber shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give advance written notice to the Issuer of any such disclosure). 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 Acquired Shares in Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Acquired Shares shall not apply (1) to the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (x) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or fiduciary requirements or (y) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (2) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

d. Subscriber may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Issuer requesting that Subscriber not receive notices from the Issuer otherwise required by this Section 7; 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 7(d)) 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.

e. The Issuer shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Subscription Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, Subscriber (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), the officers, directors and agents of Subscriber, and each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with defending any of the foregoing) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus,

 

14


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 any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Issuer by Subscriber expressly for use therein or Subscriber has omitted a material fact from such information or otherwise violated the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 7(e) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Issuer. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the Transfer of the Acquired Shares by Subscriber.

f. Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the Issuer, its directors, officers, agents and employees, and each person who controls the Issuer (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, (i) arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or (ii) arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, with respect to (i) and/or (ii), to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue or alleged untrue statements or omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Issuer by Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 7(f) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of Subscriber. 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 Acquired Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the Transfer of the Acquired Shares by Subscriber.

g. Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder 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) 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, 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

8. [Reserved.]

9. 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 (a) such date and time as the Combination Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with the terms therein, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) at the election of Subscriber, on or after the “Outside Date” as defined in the Combination Agreement (as such Outside Date may be amended or extended from time to time) or (d) two years from the Effective Date of the Registration Statement; 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 out-of-pocket losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach. The Issuer shall notify in writing Subscriber of the termination of the Combination Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement. For purposes hereof, “Willful Breach” means a material breach that is a consequence of an act undertaken or a failure to act by the breaching party hereto with the knowledge that the taking of such act or such failure to act would, or would reasonably be expected to, constitute or result in a breach of this Subscription Agreement.

10. Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber acknowledges that GMBT is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving GMBT and one or more businesses or assets. Subscriber further acknowledges that, as described in GMBT’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering, dated January 19, 2021 (the “Prospectus”), available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of GMBT’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of GMBT’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of GMBT, its public stockholders and the underwriters of GMBT’s initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to GMBT to pay its obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of GMBT entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber, on behalf of itself and its representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind they have or may have in the future arising out of this Subscription Agreement, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10 shall be deemed to limit any Subscriber’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of such Subscriber’s record or beneficial ownership of securities of GMBT acquired by any means, including but not limited to any redemption right with respect to any such securities of GMBT.

11. Miscellaneous.

a. Each party hereto acknowledges that the other parties hereto and the Placement Agents (as third-party beneficiaries with the right of enforcement as set forth herein) will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties 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 such party as set forth herein are no longer accurate (subject to any qualification as to materiality applicable thereto). Each party hereto further acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agents are third-party beneficiaries with the right of enforcement of Section 3, Section 4, Section 5, this Section 11 and Section 12.

b.

c. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, prior to the Closing, without the prior consent of the Issuer, Subscriber may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its rights under this Subscription Agreement other than to its controlled affiliates or any fund or account managed by the same investment manager as Subscriber; provided, that such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Subscription Agreement, makes the representations and warranties in Section 5 and completes Schedule A hereto. In the event of such a transfer or assignment, Subscriber shall immediately update Schedule B to provide the information required therein.

d. All of the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, if for any reason the Closing does not occur immediately prior to or substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Company Merger, all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties hereunder shall survive the consummation of the Company Merger and remain in full force and effect.

e. 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 Acquired Shares, and Subscriber shall provide such information as may be reasonably requested, to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with its internal policies and procedures; provided, that the Issuer agrees to keep any such information provided by Subscriber confidential except to the extent such disclosure is required by applicable law, at the request of the Staff of the Commission or regulatory agency or under the regulations of the NASDAQ, in which case the Issuer shall provide Subscriber with prior written notice of such disclosure.
