2.Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.3 of the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the Closing, Sponsor shall surrender a number of shares of Parent Class B Common Stock equal to the product of (i) 1,875,000 and (ii) the difference between (A) 1, minus (B) a fraction (not greater than 1 nor less than 0), the numerator of which is an amount equal to (I) (x) all amounts in the Trust Account; plus (y) all other Cash and Cash Equivalents of Parent; plus (z) the PIPE Investment Amount (as such amount is finally delivered to Parent at or prior to the Closing by the PIPE Investors), in each case, as determined as of the Closing, minus (II) the aggregate amount of cash proceeds that will be required to satisfy the Parent Stockholder Redemptions, if any, minus (III) the amount of the Parent Transaction Costs, to the extent not paid prior to the Closing, minus (IV) $250,000,000, and the denominator of which is $35,000,000 (the “Sponsor Contingent Closing Shares”), which Sponsor Contingent Closing Shares will be cancelled by Parent for no consideration.

 

3.Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.3 of the Merger Agreement, effective immediately prior to the Closing, Sponsor hereby waives any and all rights Sponsor has or will have under Section 4.3(b)(ii) of Parent’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to receive, with respect to each share of Parent Class B Common Stock held by Sponsor, more than one (1) share of Parent Class A Common Stock upon automatic conversion of such shares of Parent Class B Common Stock in accordance with Parent’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in connection with the consummation of the Transactions. Without limitation of the foregoing, upon the consummation of the Transactions, Sponsor hereby acknowledges and agrees that pursuant to Section 4.3(b) of Parent’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, each share of Parent Class B Common Stock held by Sponsor shall automatically convert into one (1) share of Parent Class A Common Stock.

If all or any portion of the Sponsor Earnout Shares vest in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, any restrictive legends that have been placed on the Sponsor Earnout Shares, other than those, if any, required by applicable securities laws, shall be removed (and Parent hereby agrees to immediately cause the removal of such restrictive legends that have been placed on the Sponsor Earnout Shares).

 

5.Holders of the Sponsor Earnout Shares shall be entitled to vote such Sponsor Earnout Shares and receive dividends and other distributions in respect thereof prior to the vesting of such Sponsor Earnout Shares in accordance with the terms herein; provided, that any such dividends and other distributions in respect of the Sponsor Earnout Shares that are subject to vesting pursuant to the terms herein shall be set aside by Parent and shall only be paid to the holder of such Sponsor Earnout Shares upon the vesting thereof.

 

6.The parties have previously entered into that certain letter agreement dated December 12, 2019 in connection with the initial public offering of Parent (the “Prior Letter Agreement”).

7.During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the earlier of the Closing and the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to Article IX thereof, Sponsor shall not modify or amend any Contract between or among Sponsor or any Affiliate of Sponsor (other than Parent or any of its Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and Parent or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries, on the other hand, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Prior Letter Agreement.

 

8.Sponsor hereby acknowledges that it has read the Merger Agreement and this Letter Agreement and has had the opportunity to consult with its tax and legal advisors. Sponsor shall be bound by and comply with Section 7.2 (Parent No Solicitation) and Section 7.8 (Confidentiality; Communications Plan; Access to Information) of the Merger Agreement (and any relevant definitions contained in any such Sections) as if Sponsor was an original signatory to the Merger Agreement with respect to such provisions, mutatis mutandis.
