Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On July 13, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), CareMax, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an exclusive real estate advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Related CM Advisor, LLC (the “Advisor”), a Delaware limited liability company and a subsidiary of The Related Companies, L.P. (“Related”), and, with respect to certain sections of the Advisory Agreement, Related, pursuant to which the Advisor has agreed provide certain real estate advisory services to the Company on an exclusive basis (the “Services”). The Services include identifying locations for new medical centers nationwide as part of the Company’s de novo growth strategy, including, but not limited to, locations within and proximate to affordable housing communities that may be owned by Related.
In connection with the Advisory Agreement, the Company and the Advisor entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”), whereby the Advisor purchased 500,000 shares (the “Initial Shares”) of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000, and the Company issued to the Advisor (i) a warrant (the “Series A Warrant”) to purchase 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Series A Warrant Shares”), which vested immediately upon issuance, is exercisable for a period of five years and is not redeemable by the Company and (ii) a warrant (the “Series B Warrant” and together with the Series A Warrant, the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Series B Warrant Shares” and, together with the Series A Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”), pursuant to which 500,000 Series B Warrant Shares will vest and become exercisable from time to time upon the opening of each medical center under the Advisory Agreement for which the Advisor provides services, other than two initial medical centers. The Series B Warrant is exercisable, to the extent vested, until the later of five years from the date of issuance or one year from vesting of the applicable Series B Warrant Shares and is redeemable with respect to vested Warrant Shares at a price of $0.01 per Warrant Share if the price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share, or $0.10 per Warrant Share if the price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share, in each case when such price conditions are satisfied for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period and subject to certain adjustments and conditions as described in the Series B Warrant. In the event that the Series B Warrant is called for redemption by the Company, the Advisor may pay the exercise price for the Series B Warrant Shares six months following the notice of redemption by the Company. Additionally, each of the Warrants is exercisable on a cashless basis. The Initial Shares and Warrants were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
In connection with the execution of the Advisory Agreement and the issuance of the Initial Shares and Warrants, the Company and the Advisor entered into a lock-up agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”), whereby the Advisor agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell or otherwise transfer any of the Initial Shares or any of the Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Shares”), in each case for a period of six months following the issuance thereof. Additionally, the Company and the Advisor entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement” and together with the Advisory Agreement, the Subscription Agreement, the Lock-Up Agreement and each Warrant, the “Transaction Documents”), whereby the Company agreed to grant the Advisor certain registration rights for the Shares, including certain demand registration rights, piggyback registration rights and shelf registration rights beginning on August 31, 2022, in each case subject to the restrictions contained in the Lock-Up Agreement.
The Advisory Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement each contain customary representations and warranties and covenants of the parties thereto, and the Advisory Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement contain customary indemnities of the parties thereto. The Advisory Agreement has a term of twelve years and may be terminated by the Company or the Advisor under certain conditions set forth therein. Additionally, the Advisory Agreement provides for certain commissions to be paid to the Advisor in connection with the entering into leases and for certain other costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith.
Other than as disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K, there is no material relationship between either of the Advisor or Related, on the one hand, and the Company, any of its affiliates, or any director or officer of the Company, or any associate of any such director or officer, on the other.
The foregoing description of the Transaction Documents is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Advisory Agreement, including the other Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

On the Effective Date, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company appointed Mr. Bryan Cho, an Executive Vice President of Related, to serve as a Class III director of the Board. The appointment of Mr. Cho was made in connection with the Advisory Agreement, which provides the Advisor with the right to designate a director to serve on the Board, subject to the continuing satisfaction of certain conditions, including that the Advisor and its affiliates maintain ownership of at least 500,000 shares of Common Stock.
Other than as disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8- K, there are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Cho and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Cho was appointed as a director of the Company.

The Board has determined that Mr. Cho is independent under the rules of the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Mr. Cho has not yet been appointed to any committees of the Board. As a director of the Company, Mr. Cho will receive compensation in the same manner as the Company’s other non-employee directors and will enter into the Company’s standard indemnification agreement for directors.

(a) | The Company shall indemnify, defend and protect the Advisor, Related, their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, controlling persons (each of whom shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof) (collectively, the “Advisor Indemnified Parties”) and hold them harmless from and against all damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) (collectively, the “Liabilities”) incurred by the Advisor Indemnified Parties in or by reason of any pending, threatened or completed action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation brought by a third party not Affiliated with the Advisor Indemnified Parties or Company Indemnified Parties (as defined below) (each and collectively, an “Action”) (i) directly arising out of any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the performance of any of their obligations under this Agreement or (ii) arising out of the rendering of the Services by the Advisor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, except, in each case of (i) and (ii), to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Liabilities resulted from (A) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Advisor Indemnified Party, (B) the violation of applicable Law by an Advisor Indemnified Party, or (C) a breach by the Advisor of this Agreement. |
(b) | The Advisor and Related shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and protect the Company, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, controlling persons (each of whom shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof) (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties” and, together with the Advisor Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties” and each an “Indemnified Party”) and hold them harmless from and against all Liabilities incurred by the Company Indemnified Parties in or by reason of any pending, threatened or completed Action directly arising out of any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Advisor or any of its Affiliates in connection with the performance of any of their obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Liabilities resulted from (A) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Company Indemnified Party, (B) the violation of applicable Law by a Company Indemnified Party, or (C) a breach by the Company of this Agreement. |
-10-
(c) | In the event that any Indemnified Party receives notice of commencement of any Action for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 15, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the party obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 15 (the “Indemnifying Party”); provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 15 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened Action in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, whether or not any Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such Action, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld in the case of an Action involving only the payment of money damages), unless such settlement is confidential and (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Parties from all liability in any way related to or arising out of such Action and (ii) does not include an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or with respect to the Indemnified Parties or an adverse statement regarding the reputation or conduct of the Indemnified Parties. |
(d) | In case any such Action is brought against any Indemnified Party and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to elect to assume the defense thereof, and such election to assume the defense thereof shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of the obligation to reimburse the Indemnified Party for reasonable legal and other costs and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in defending itself; provided that, if the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of such Action pursuant to this clause (d), the Indemnifying Party shall appoint counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party in such Action and shall pay all legal or other fees and expenses related to such Action as incurred; and, provided further that the Indemnified Party shall promptly refund to the Indemnifying Party, as applicable, such fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with an Action as to which there has been a final judicial determination that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to the terms of this Section 15. In any such Action, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary in writing, (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (iv) the named parties in any such Action (including any impleaded parties) include the Indemnifying Party, on one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other, and representation of both by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interest between them. |
(e) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages, including its loss of future revenue or income, its loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, or diminution of value, including diminution of value of the Class A Common Stock or Warrants, or any damages based on any type of multiple. Except as set forth in Section 15(f), the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, or obligation set forth in this Agreement or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the termination provisions set forth in Section 12 and the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 15 and, for the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged and agreed that upon vesting of each Warrant pursuant to the terms thereof, the rights of each holder thereof shall be unconditionally and irrevocably vested in such holder without regard to or recourse in respect of any obligation under or pursuant to this Agreement. |
-11-
(f) | The parties agree that irreparable damage and harm would occur in the event that Section 2 (Appointment; Exclusivity) or 27 (Confidentiality) of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its terms and that, although monetary damages may be available for such a breach, monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy therefor. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of Section 2 (Appointment; Exclusivity) or 27 (Confidentiality) of this Agreement by either party, the other party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches hereof and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof. A party seeking an order or injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof shall not be required to provide, furnish or post any bond or other security in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any such order or injunction, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the provision, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other security. In the event that any legal proceeding should be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of Section 2 (Appointment; Exclusivity) or 27 (Confidentiality) of this Agreement, each party agrees that it shall not allege, and each party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy available at law. |
16. Insurance; Fidelity Bond. Neither the Advisor nor the Company shall be required to obtain or maintain insurance or a fidelity bond in connection with the performance of its services hereunder.

(d) The execution, delivery and performance of the Subscription Documents, including the issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder, the compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of the Subscription Documents have and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein 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 Company pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is subject, (ii) the organizational documents of the Company, 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 Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties that, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii) would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

3.3.2. Issuance of Shares of Common Stock on Exercise. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant and the clearance of the funds in payment of the Warrant Price (if payment is pursuant to subsection 3.3.1(a)), the Company shall issue to the Registered Holder of this Warrant a book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it, and if this Warrant shall not have been exercised in full, a new warrant for the number of shares of Common Stock as to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised, and a notation shall be made to the Warrant Register evidencing the balance of shares of Common Stock remaining after such exercise under this Warrant.
3.3.3. Valid Issuance. All shares of Common Stock issued upon the proper exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and shall have been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt from registration or qualification under the securities laws of the state of residence of the Registered Holder of this Warrant.
3.3.4. Date of Issuance. Each person in whose name any book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for shares of Common Stock is issued shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock on the date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of this Warrant.
3.3.5. Maximum Percentage. The Company shall not effect the exercise of this Warrant, and the Registered Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such Registered Holder’s affiliates (as used herein as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”))), to the Company’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or such other amount as a holder may specify in excess of 4.99% but to exceed 9.99%) (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Registered Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon (x) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Registered Holder and its affiliates and (y) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Registered Holder and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For the purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Registered Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, current report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written request of the Registered Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days, confirm orally and in writing to such holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of equity securities of the Company by the holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, the Registered Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage applicable to such Registered Holder to any other percentage specified in such notice, not less than 4.99% and not to exceed 9.99%; provided, however, that any such increase shall not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company.

4. Adjustments.
4.1. Stock Dividends.
4.1.1. Split-Ups. If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 below, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a split-up of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of this Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of Common Stock. A rights offering to holders of the Common Stock entitling holders to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price less than the “Historical Fair Market Value” (as defined below) shall be deemed a stock dividend of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for the Common Stock) and (ii) the quotient of (x) the price per share of Common Stock paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the Historical Fair Market Value. For purposes of this subsection 4.1.1, (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, in determining the price payable for Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) “Historical Fair Market Value” means the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the without the right to receive such rights.
4.1.2. Extraordinary Dividends. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired, shall pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of the Common Stock on account of such shares of Common Stock (or other shares of the Company’s capital stock into which this Warrant is convertible), other than (a) as described in subsection 4.1.1 above, or (b) Ordinary Cash Dividends (as defined below) (any such non-excluded event being referred to herein as an “Extraordinary Dividend”), then the Warrant Price shall be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such Extraordinary Dividend, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, in good faith) of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Common Stock in respect of such Extraordinary Dividend. For purposes of this subsection 4.1.2, “Ordinary Cash Dividends” means any cash dividend or cash distribution which, when combined on a per share basis, with the per share amounts of all other cash dividends and cash distributions paid on the Common Stock during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution (as adjusted to appropriately reflect any of the events referred to in other subsections of this Section 4 and excluding cash dividends or cash distributions that resulted in an adjustment to the Warrant Price or to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant) does not exceed $0.50.
4.2. Aggregation of Shares. If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 hereof, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of this Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock.
4.3. Adjustments in Warrant Price. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as provided in subsection 4.1.1 or Section 4.2 above, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.
- 4 -
4.4. Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change under subsections 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 or Section 4.2 hereof or that solely affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or conversion of the Company as another entity (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation (and is not a subsidiary of another entity whose stockholders did not own all or substantially all of the Common Stock of the Company in substantially the same proportions immediately before such transaction) and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another entity of the assets or other property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Registered Holder shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the Registered Holder would have received if such Registered Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such event (the “Alternative Issuance”); provided, however, that if the holders of the Common Stock were entitled to exercise a right of election as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other assets receivable upon such consolidation or merger, then the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets constituting the Alternative Issuance for which this Warrant shall become exercisable shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the kind and amount received per share by the holders of the Common Stock in such consolidation or merger that affirmatively make such election. If any reclassification or reorganization also results in a change in shares of Common Stock covered by subsection 4.1.1, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to subsection 4.1.1 or Sections 4.2, 4.3 and this Section 4.4. The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers. In no event will the Warrant Price be reduced to less than the par value per share issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
4.5. Notices of Changes in Warrant. Upon every adjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (including upon the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4), the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Registered Holder pursuant to Section 9.2, which notice shall state the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable at such price upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.
4.6. No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Warrant to the contrary, the Company shall not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant. If, by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4, the Registered Holder would be entitled, upon the exercise of this Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company shall, upon such exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to such Registered Holder.
4.7. Form of Warrant. The form of Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4, and any warrant issued pursuant to Section 5 hereof after such adjustment may state the same Warrant Price and the same number of shares of Common Stock as is stated in this Warrant; provided, however, that the Company may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of Warrant that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof, and any warrant thereafter issued, whether in exchange or substitution for this Warrant or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.
4.8. Other Events. In case any event shall occur affecting the Company as to which none of the provisions of the preceding subsections of this Section 4 are strictly applicable, but which would require an adjustment to the terms of this Warrant in order to (i) avoid an adverse impact on this Warrant and (ii) effectuate the intent and purpose of this Section 4, then, in each such case, the Company shall appoint a firm of independent public accountants, investment banking or other appraisal firm of recognized national standing, which shall give its opinion as to whether or not any adjustment to the rights represented by this Warrant is necessary to effectuate the intent and purpose of this Section 4 and, if they determine that an adjustment is necessary, the terms of such adjustment. The Company shall adjust the terms of this Warrant in a manner that is consistent with any adjustment recommended in such opinion.

5. Transfer and Exchange of Warrant.
5.1. Registration of Transfer. The Company shall register the transfer, from time to time, of this Warrant upon the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant for transfer, properly endorsed with signatures and accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer to an affiliate of the Initial Holder or, in each case, a director, manager or officer thereof.

This Warrant may not be transferred except to an affiliate of the Initial Holder or, in each case, a director, manager or officer thereof.
5.2. Procedure for Surrender of Warrant. This Warrant may be surrendered to the Company, together with a written request for exchange or transfer, and thereupon the Company shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new warrants as requested by the Registered Holder, representing an equal aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Registered Holder is entitled; provided, however, that unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel for the Company stating otherwise, the new warrants must also bear a restrictive legend in similar substance and form as this Warrant.
5.3. Fractional Warrants. The Company shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange which shall result in the issuance of a warrant representing fractional shares of Common Stock.

Reference is made to that certain Exclusive Real Estate Advisory Agreement, by and between the Company and the Initial Holder (the “Advisory Agreement”), dated the date hereof, pursuant to which the Company and the Initial Holder have agreed, inter alia, to establish Facilities (as defined in the Advisory Agreement), and to establish the vesting schedule of this Warrant as follows:
(a) | with the exception of the Facilities referenced in Section 5(b)(i) of the Advisory Agreement, 500,000 Warrant Shares shall vest and be available for purchase through the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof upon the opening of the first Facility pursuant to the Advisory Agreement; and |
(b) | thereafter, upon the opening of each additional Facility pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, 500,000 Warrant Shares shall vest and be available for purchase through the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof until all such Warrant Shares shall have vested. |
The Company shall promptly notify the Registered Holder of the vesting of Warrants following the vesting date thereof. Any Warrant Shares that have not vested as of the termination of the Advisory Agreement shall immediately and without further action of the Company or the Registered Holder irrevocably terminate upon the termination of the of the Advisory Agreement.

Subject to the provisions of this Warrant, this Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder by delivering to the Company (i) this Warrant, (ii) an election to purchase (“Election to Purchase”) shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant, properly completed and executed by the Registered Holder in the form attached to this Warrant as Exhibit A, and (iii) payment in full of the Warrant Price for each full share of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is exercised and any and all applicable taxes due in connection with the exercise of this Warrant, the exchange of this Warrant for the shares of Common Stock and the issuance of such shares of Common Stock, as follows:
- 13 -
(a) | in lawful money of the United States, in good certified check or good bank draft payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds; |
(b) | in the event that this warrant is called for redemption by the Company pursuant to Section 6 hereof, in the form of a promissory note of the Initial Holder in favor of the Company to pay the Warrant Price on such date that shall be six (6) months after the Redemption Date, which promissory note shall provide for full recourse against the Initial Holder; |
(c) | by surrendering this Warrant for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the portion of this Warrant to be exercised, multiplied by the excess of the Cashless Exercise Fair Market Value (as defined below) over the Warrant Price by (y) the Cashless Exercise Fair Market Value. Solely for purposes of this subsection 3.3.1(c), the “Cashless Exercise Fair Market Value” shall mean the average closing price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which notice of exercise of this Warrant (or portion hereof) is sent to the Company; |
(d) | as provided in Section 6.2 hereof with respect to a Make-Whole Exercise; or |
(e) | as provided in Section 7.4 hereof. |
3.3.2. Issuance of Shares of Common Stock on Exercise. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant and the clearance of the funds in payment of the Warrant Price (if payment is pursuant to subsection 3.3.1(a)), the Company shall issue to the Registered Holder of this Warrant a book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it, and if this Warrant shall not have been exercised in full, a new warrant for the number of shares of Common Stock as to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised, and a notation shall be made to the Warrant Register evidencing the balance of shares of Common Stock remaining after such exercise under this Warrant.
3.3.3. Valid Issuance. All shares of Common Stock issued upon the proper exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and shall have been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt from registration or qualification under the securities laws of the state of residence of the Registered Holder of this Warrant.
3.3.4. Date of Issuance. Each person in whose name any book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for shares of Common Stock is issued shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock on the date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of this Warrant.
- 14 -
3.3.5. Maximum Percentage. The Company shall not effect the exercise of this Warrant, and the Registered Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such Registered Holder’s affiliates (as used herein as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”))), to the Company’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or such other amount as a holder may specify in excess of 4.99% but to exceed 9.99%) (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Registered Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon (x) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Registered Holder and its affiliates and (y) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Registered Holder and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For the purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Registered Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, current report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written request of the Registered Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days, confirm orally and in writing to such holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of equity securities of the Company by the holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, the Registered Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage applicable to such Registered Holder to any other percentage specified in such notice, not less than 4.99% and not to exceed 9.99%; provided, however, that any such increase shall not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company.
4. Adjustments.
4.1. Stock Dividends.
4.1.1. Split-Ups. If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 below, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a split-up of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of this Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of Common Stock. A rights offering to holders of the Common Stock entitling holders to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price less than the “Historical Fair Market Value” (as defined below) shall be deemed a stock dividend of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for the Common Stock) and (ii) the quotient of (x) the price per share of Common Stock paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the Historical Fair Market Value. For purposes of this subsection 4.1.1, (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, in determining the price payable for Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) “Historical Fair Market Value” means the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the without the right to receive such rights.
4.1.2. Extraordinary Dividends. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired, shall pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of the Common Stock on account of such shares of Common Stock (or other shares of the Company’s capital stock into which this Warrant is convertible), other than (a) as described in subsection 4.1.1 above, or (b) Ordinary Cash Dividends (as defined below) (any such non-excluded event being referred to herein as an “Extraordinary Dividend”), then the Warrant Price shall be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such Extraordinary Dividend, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, in good faith) of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Common Stock in respect of such Extraordinary Dividend. For purposes of this subsection 4.1.2, “Ordinary Cash Dividends” means any cash dividend or cash distribution which, when combined on a per share basis, with the per share amounts of all other cash dividends and cash distributions paid on the Common Stock during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution (as adjusted to appropriately reflect any of the events referred to in other subsections of this Section 4 and excluding cash dividends or cash distributions that resulted in an adjustment to the Warrant Price or to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant) does not exceed $0.50.
- 15 -
4.2. Aggregation of Shares. If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 hereof, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of this Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock.
4.3. Adjustments in Warrant Price. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as provided in subsection 4.1.1 or Section 4.2 above, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.
4.4. Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change under subsections 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 or Section 4.2 hereof or that solely affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or conversion of the Company as another entity (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation (and is not a subsidiary of another entity whose stockholders did not own all or substantially all of the Common Stock of the Company in substantially the same proportions immediately before such transaction) and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another entity of the assets or other property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Registered Holder shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the Registered Holder would have received if such Registered Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such event (the “Alternative Issuance”); provided, however, that if the holders of the Common Stock were entitled to exercise a right of election as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other assets receivable upon such consolidation or merger, then the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets constituting the Alternative Issuance for which this Warrant shall become exercisable shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the kind and amount received per share by the holders of the Common Stock in such consolidation or merger that affirmatively make such election. If any reclassification or reorganization also results in a change in shares of Common Stock covered by subsection 4.1.1, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to subsection 4.1.1 or Sections 4.2, 4.3 and this Section 4.4. The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers. In no event will the Warrant Price be reduced to less than the par value per share issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
4.5. Notices of Changes in Warrant. Upon every adjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (including upon the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4), the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Registered Holder pursuant to Section 9.2, which notice shall state the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable at such price upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.
4.6. No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Warrant to the contrary, the Company shall not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant. If, by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4, the Registered Holder would be entitled, upon the exercise of this Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company shall, upon such exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to such Registered Holder.
- 16 -
4.7. Form of Warrant. The form of Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4, and any warrant issued pursuant to Section 5 hereof after such adjustment may state the same Warrant Price and the same number of shares of Common Stock as is stated in this Warrant; provided, however, that the Company may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of Warrant that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof, and any warrant thereafter issued, whether in exchange or substitution for this Warrant or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.
4.8. Other Events. In case any event shall occur affecting the Company as to which none of the provisions of the preceding subsections of this Section 4 are strictly applicable, but which would require an adjustment to the terms of this Warrant in order to (i) avoid an adverse impact on this Warrant and (ii) effectuate the intent and purpose of this Section 4, then, in each such case, the Company shall appoint a firm of independent public accountants, investment banking or other appraisal firm of recognized national standing, which shall give its opinion as to whether or not any adjustment to the rights represented by this Warrant is necessary to effectuate the intent and purpose of this Section 4 and, if they determine that an adjustment is necessary, the terms of such adjustment. The Company shall adjust the terms of this Warrant in a manner that is consistent with any adjustment recommended in such opinion.
5. Transfer and Exchange of Warrant.
5.1. Registration of Transfer. The Company shall register the transfer, from time to time, of this Warrant upon the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant for transfer, properly endorsed with signatures and accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer to an affiliate of the Initial Holder or, in each case, a director, manager or officer thereof. Upon any such transfer, a new warrant representing an equal aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Registered Holder is entitled shall be issued and this Warrant shall be cancelled by the Company. This Warrant may not be transferred except to an affiliate of the Initial Holder or, in each case, a director, manager or officer thereof.
5.2. Procedure for Surrender of Warrant. This Warrant may be surrendered to the Company, together with a written request for exchange or transfer, and thereupon the Company shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new warrants as requested by the Registered Holder, representing an equal aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Registered Holder is entitled; provided, however, that unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel for the Company stating otherwise, the new warrants must also bear a restrictive legend in similar substance and form as this Warrant.
5.3. Fractional Warrants. The Company shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange which shall result in the issuance of a warrant representing fractional shares of Common Stock.
5.4. Service Charges. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer this Warrant.
6. Redemption.
6.1. Redemption of Warrants for Cash. Subject to Section 6.5 hereof, this Warrant may be redeemed, at the option of the Company, at any time while it is exercisable with respect to then vested Warrant Shares and prior to the applicable Expiration Date, upon notice to the Registered Holder, as described in Section 6.3 below, at a Redemption Price (as defined in Section 6.3 below) of $0.01 per Warrant; provided that the Reference Value (as defined in Section 6.3 below) equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (subject to adjustment in compliance with Section 4 hereof).
6.2. Redemption of Warrants for Shares of Common Stock.

During the 30-day Redemption Period in connection with a redemption pursuant to this Section 6.2, the Registered Holder may elect to exercise this Warrant on a “cashless basis” pursuant to subsection 3.3.1 and receive a number of shares of Common Stock determined by reference to the table below, based on the Redemption Date (calculated for purposes of the table as the period to expiration of this Warrant) and the “Redemption Fair Market Value” (as such term is defined in this Section 6.2) (a “Make-Whole Exercise”). Solely for purposes of this Section 6.2, the “Redemption Fair Market Value” shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days immediately following the date on which notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 6.2 is sent to the Registered Holder.

The exact Redemption Fair Market Value and Redemption Date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case, if the Redemption Fair Market Value is between two values in the table or the Redemption Date is between two redemption dates in the table, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued for each Warrant exercised in a Make-Whole Exercise shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of shares set forth for the higher and lower Redemption Fair Market Values and the earlier and later redemption dates, as applicable, based on a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable.
The share prices set forth in the column headings of the table above shall be adjusted as of any date on which the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant or the Warrant Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof. If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the adjusted share prices in the column headings shall equal the share prices immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant as so adjusted. The number of shares of Common Stock in the table above shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. If the Warrant Price of this Warrant is adjusted, (a) in the case of an adjustment pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof, the adjusted share prices in the column headings shall equal the share prices immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Redemption Fair Market Value and the denominator of which is $10.00 and (b) in the case of an adjustment pursuant to Section 4.1.2 hereof, the adjusted share prices in the column headings shall equal the share prices immediately prior to such adjustment less the decrease in the Warrant Price pursuant to such Warrant Price adjustment. In no event shall the number of shares of Common Stock issued in connection with a Make-Whole Exercise exceed 0.361 shares of Common Stock per Warrant Share subject of this Warrant (subject to adjustment).

In the event that the Company elects to redeem this Warrant pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.2, the Company shall fix a date for the redemption (the “Redemption Date”). Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by the Company not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Redemption Date (such period, the “Redemption Period”) to the Registered Holder at its last addresses as it shall appear herein or on the Warrant Register. Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the Registered Holder received such notice. As used in this Warrant, (a) “Redemption Price” shall mean the price per Warrant at which this Warrant is redeemed pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 and (b) “Reference Value” shall mean the last reported sales price of the Common Stock for any twenty (20) trading days within the thirty (30) trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which notice of the redemption is given.
6.4. Exercise After Notice of Redemption. This Warrant may be exercised pursuant to Section 3.3.1 at any time after notice of redemption shall have been given by the Company pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof and prior to the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date, the Registered Holder shall have no further rights except to receive, upon surrender of this Warrant, the Redemption Price.
6.5. Exclusion of Non-Vested Warrant Shares. The Company agrees that the redemption rights provided in Section 6 shall not apply to any Warrant Shares issuable under this Warrant that shall not have vested in accordance with Section 3.2.2.
7. Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Warrants
7.1. No Rights as Stockholder. This Warrant does not entitle the Registered Holder hereof to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to vote or to consent or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of stockholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter.
7.2. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Warrants. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Company may on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may in its discretion impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new warrant of like denomination, tenor, and date as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed. Any such new warrant shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not this allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
7.3. Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that shall be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant.
7.4. Registration of Common Stock; Cashless Exercise at Company’s Option.
7.4.1. The Initial Holder shall have such registration rights as provided by that Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of July 13, 2021, between the Company and the Initial Holder, which the Initial Holder has executed in connection with the Subscription Agreement.

If the Common Stock is at the time of any exercise of this Warrant is not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act (or any successor rule), the Company may, at its option, require the Registered Holder to exercise this Warrant on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act (or any successor rule) as described in subsection 3.3.1(c) and (i) in the event the Company so elects, the Company shall not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary or (ii) if the Company does not so elect, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to register or qualify for sale the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant under the blue sky laws of the state of residence of the Registered Holder to the extent an exemption is not available.
8. Payment of Taxes. The Company shall from time to time promptly pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company in respect of the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, but the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in respect of this Warrant or such shares of Common Stock.

Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in Section 11 hereof.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Pubco and the Advisor are entering into an Exclusive Real Estate Advisory Agreement, whereby Pubco has agreed that the Advisor shall serve as exclusive real estate advisor to Pubco (the “Advisory Agreement”);
WHEREAS, in connection with the execution and delivery of the Advisory Agreement, Pubco and the Advisor have entered into a subscription agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the Advisor has agreed to purchase (i) five hundred thousand (500,000) shares (the “Subscribed Shares”) of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), (ii) a warrant (the “Series A Warrant”) to purchase two million (2,000,000) shares of Common Stock (the “Series A Warrant Shares”) and (iii) a warrant (the “Series B Warrant” and, together with the Series A Warrant, the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Series B Warrant Shares” and, together with the Series A Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”); and
WHEREAS, Pubco and the Investors desire to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which Pubco shall grant the Investors certain registration rights with respect to certain shares of Common Stock, as set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, covenants and agreements contained herein, and certain other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Resale Shelf Registration Rights.
(a) Registration Statement Covering Resale of Registrable Securities. Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Commission, no later than August 31, 2022 (the “Filing Deadline”), a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act registering the resale from time to time by the Investors of all of the Registrable Securities held by the Investors (the “Resale Shelf Registration Statement”). The Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (“Form S-3”), or if Form S-3 is not then available to Pubco for such Registration Statement, on such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, that if Form S-3 is not available for such offering, Pubco shall file, within thirty (30) days of such time as Form S-3 (“Form S-3”) is available for the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, a post-effective amendment to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement then in effect, or otherwise file a Registration Statement on Form S-3, registering the Registrable Securities for resale in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence on Form S-3 (provided that Pubco shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement (or post-effective amendment) on Form S-3 covering such Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission). Pubco shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible after filing, but in no event later than the earlier of (i) sixty (60) days following the Filing Deadline and (ii) three (3) Business Days after the Commission notifies Pubco that it will not review the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, if applicable (the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, that, if the Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 1(a) is reviewed by, and Pubco receives comments from, the Commission with respect to such Registration Statement, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to ninety (90) days following the Filing Deadline. Without limiting the foregoing, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days, following the resolution or clearance of all Commission comments or, if applicable, following notification by the Commission that any such Registration Statement or any amendment thereto will not be subject to review, Pubco shall file a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement (to the extent required, by declaration or ordering of effectiveness, of such Registration Statement or amendment by the Commission) to a time and date not later than two (2) Business Days after the submission of such request. Once effective, Pubco shall use reasonable best efforts to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, to ensure that another Registration Statement is available, under the Securities Act at all times for the public resale of all of the Registrable Securities until such date as all Registrable Securities covered by the Resale Shelf Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement. The Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall contain a Prospectus in such form as to permit any Investor to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) at any time beginning on the effective date for such Registration Statement, and Pubco shall file with the Commission the final form of such Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424 (or successor thereto) under the Securities Act no later than the first (1st) Business Day after the Resale Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective. The Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall provide that the Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Investors. Without limiting the foregoing, subject to any comments from the Commission, each Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 1 shall include a “plan of distribution” approved by the Advisor in its reasonable discretion.
(b) Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 1, in the event that, despite Pubco’s efforts to include all of the Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 1(a), the Commission informs Pubco (the “Commission’s Notice”) that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415 or otherwise, be Registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single Registration Statement, Pubco agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the holders thereof and use its reasonable best efforts to file amendments to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement as required by the Commission and (ii) as soon as practicable but in no event later than the New Registration Statement Filing Deadline, file an additional Registration Statement (a “New Registration Statement”), on Form S-3, or if Form S-3 is not then available to Pubco for such Registration Statement, on such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, Pubco shall be obligated to use its reasonable best efforts to advocate with the Commission for the Registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with any publicly-available written or oral guidance, comments, requirements or requests of the Commission staff (the “SEC Guidance”), including without limitation, the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations D.29. The Advisor shall have the right to participate or have its legal counsel participate in any meetings or discussions with the Commission regarding the Commission’s position and to comment or have its legal counsel comment on any written submission made to the Commission with respect thereto. No such written submission shall be made to the Commission to which the Advisor’s legal counsel reasonably objects. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be Registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering, unless otherwise directed in writing by a holder as to its Registrable Securities directing the inclusion of less than such holder’s pro rata amount, the number of Registrable Securities to be Registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Investors. In the event Pubco amends the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, Pubco will use its reasonable best efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to Pubco or to registrants of securities in general, one or more Registration Statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not Registered for resale on the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement. If Pubco shall not be able to register for resale all of the Registrable Securities on the Resale Shelf Registration Statement within three (3) months following the date of Pubco’s receipt of the Commission’s Notice, then, until such Resale Shelf Registration Statement is effective, each of the Investors shall be entitled to demand registration rights pursuant to Section 2 below as long as the demand request is a proposal to sell Registrable Securities with an aggregate market price at the time of request of not less than $5,000,000 (the “Shelf Demand Right”).
(c) Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 1 shall not be counted as Demand Registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.
2
(d) No Investor shall be named as an “underwriter” in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 1 without the Investor’s prior written consent; provided that, if the Commission requests that an Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, then such Investor will have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, to either (i) have the opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement upon its prompt written request to Pubco, in which case Pubco’s obligation to register such Investor’s Registrable Securities shall be deemed satisfied or (ii) be included as such in the Registration Statement. Each Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided to (and shall be subject to the approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, of) the Investors prior to its filing with, or other submission to, the Commission; provided that, Pubco shall not be deemed to be in breach of any Effectiveness Deadline or other deadline set forth in this Agreement if the failure of Pubco to meet such deadline is the result of an Investor’s failure to approve such Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto or request for acceleration thereof.
(e) In the event that on any Trading Day (as defined below) (the “Registration Trigger Date”) the number of shares available under the Registration Statements filed pursuant to this Section 1 is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities (without giving effect to any limitations on the exercise or conversion of any securities exercisable for, or convertible into, Registrable Securities and, in the case of Registrable Securities issuable upon the exercise of Warrants, assuming the exercise of such Warrants for cash), Pubco shall amend such Registration Statements, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover the total number of Registrable Securities so issued or issuable (without giving effect to any limitations on the exercise or conversion of any securities exercisable for, or convertible into, Registrable Securities and, in the case of Registrable Securities issuable upon the exercise of Warrants, assuming the exercise of such Warrants for cash) as of the Registration Trigger Date as soon as practicable, but in any event within fifteen (15) days after the Registration Trigger Date. Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof, but in any event Pubco shall cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective within sixty (60) days of the Registration Trigger Date (or ninety (90) days if the applicable Registration Statement or amendment is reviewed by, and comments are thereto provided from, the Commission) or as promptly as practicable in the event Pubco is required to increase its authorized shares. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is traded for any period on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.
2. Demand Registrations.
(a) Requests for Registration. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of the Lock-Up Agreement, at any time or from time to time, provided that Pubco does not then have an effective Registration Statement outstanding covering all of the Registrable Securities, the Advisor, on behalf of any or all Investors, may request Registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Demand Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration statement (“Long-Form Registrations”) or, if available, on Form S-3 (including a shelf registration pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act) or any similar short-form registration statement, including an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405) (an “Automatic Shelf Registration Statement”), if available to Pubco (“Short-Form Registrations”), in accordance with Section 2(b) and Section 2(c) below (“Demand Registrations”). Each request for a Demand Registration shall specify the approximate number of Demand Registrable Securities requested to be Registered and the intended method of distribution. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of any such request, Pubco shall give written notice of such requested Registration to all other holders of Demand Registrable Securities and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, shall include in such Registration (and in all related registrations and qualifications under state blue sky laws or in compliance with other registration requirements and in any related underwriting) all such Demand Registrable Securities with respect to which Pubco has received written requests for inclusion therein within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of Pubco’s notice. Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees that such holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of the notice of Demand Registration and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such notice of Demand Registration without the prior written consent of Pubco until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by the holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement.
3
(b) Long-Form Registrations. The Advisor, on behalf of any or all Investors, may request one (1) Long-Form Registration in which Pubco shall pay all Registration Expenses whether or not any such Long-Form Registration has become effective; in each case, provided that, Pubco shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any Long-Form Registration (x) unless the aggregate market price of the Demand Registrable Securities requested to be Registered in such Long-Form Registration exceeds $20,000,000 (or with respect to the Shelf Demand Right, $5,000,000) at the time of request, or (y) if Pubco has already effected a Demand Registration (which became effective) in the preceding 45-day period. A Registration shall not count as the sole permitted Long-Form Registration until it has become effective and unless the holders of Registrable Securities are able to register and sell at least 90% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Registration; provided that, in any event Pubco shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any Registration initiated as a Long-Form Registration whether or not it has become effective and whether or not such Registration has counted as one of the permitted Long-Form Registrations hereunder.
(c) Short-Form Registrations. In addition to the Long-Form Registration provided pursuant to Section 2(b), the Advisor, on behalf of any or all Investors, shall be entitled to request Short-Form Registrations for Demand Registrable Securities in which Pubco shall pay all Registration Expenses whether or not any such Short-Form Registration has become effective; provided, however, that Pubco shall not be obligated to effect any such Short-Form Registration: (i) if the holders of Demand Registrable Securities, together with the holders of any other securities of Pubco entitled to inclusion in such Short-Form Registration, propose to sell Demand Registrable Securities with an aggregate market price at the time of request of less than $5,000,000, (ii) if Pubco has already effected three (3) Short-Form Registrations (which became effective) for the holders of Demand Registrable Securities requesting a Short-Form Registration pursuant to this Section 2(c), or (iii) if Pubco has already effected a Demand Registration (which became effective) in the preceding 90-day period. Demand Registrations shall be Short-Form Registrations whenever Pubco is permitted to use any applicable Short-Form Registration and if the managing underwriters (if any) agree to the use of a Short-Form Registration. For so long as Pubco is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to make Short-Form Registrations available for the offer and sale of Demand Registrable Securities. If Pubco is qualified to and, pursuant to the request of the Advisor, has filed with the Commission a Registration Statement under the Securities Act on Form S-3 pursuant to Rule 415 (a “Shelf Registration”), then Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable after filing, and, if Pubco is a WKSI at the time of any such request, to cause such Shelf Registration to be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, and once effective, Pubco shall cause such Shelf Registration to remain effective (including by filing a new Shelf Registration, if necessary) for a period ending on the earlier of (i) the date on which all Demand Registrable Securities included in such Registration have been sold or distributed pursuant to the Shelf Registration or (ii) the date as of which all of the Demand Registrable Securities included in such Registration are able to be sold within a 90-day period in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (without any restrictions as to volume or the manner of sale or otherwise and, in the case of Demand Registrable Securities issuable upon the exercise of Warrants, assuming the exercise of such Warrants for cash). If for any reason Pubco ceases to be a WKSI or becomes ineligible to utilize Form S-3, Pubco shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement or Registration Statements on such form that is available for the sale of Registrable Securities.
(d) Shelf Takedowns. At any time when the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or a Shelf Registration for the sale or distribution by holders of Registrable Securities on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415, including by way of an underwritten offering, block sale or other distribution plan (each, a “Resale Shelf Registration”), is effective and its use has not been otherwise suspended by Pubco in accordance with the terms of Section 2(f) below, upon a written demand (a “Takedown Demand”) by any Investor that is, in either case, a Shelf Participant holding Registrable Securities at such time (the “Initiating Holder”), Pubco will facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement a “takedown” of Registrable Securities off of such Resale Shelf Registration (a “Takedown Offering”) and Pubco shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection therewith; provided that, Pubco will provide (x) in connection with any non-marketed underwritten Takedown Offering (other than a Block Trade), at least two (2) Business Days’ notice of such Takedown Demand to each holder of Registrable Securities (other than the Initiating Holder) that is a Shelf Participant, (y) in connection with any Block Trade initiated prior to the three (3) year anniversary of the date hereof, notice of such Takedown Demand to each holder of Registrable Securities (other than the Initiating Holder) that is a Shelf Participant no later than noon Eastern time on the Business Day prior to the requested Takedown Demand and (z) in connection with any marketed underwritten Takedown Offering, at least five (5) Business Days’ notice of such Takedown Demand to each holder of Registrable Securities (other than the Initiating Holder) that is a Shelf Participant. In connection with (x) any non-marketed underwritten Takedown Offering initiated prior to the three (3) year anniversary of the date hereof and (y) any marketed underwritten Takedown Offering, if any Shelf Participants entitled to receive a notice pursuant to the preceding sentence request inclusion of their Registrable Securities (by notice to Pubco, which notice must be received by Pubco no later than (A) in the case of a non-marketed underwritten Takedown Offering (other than a Block Trade), the Business Day following the date notice is given to such participant, (B) in the case of a Block Trade, by 10:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date notice is given to such participant and (C) in the case of a marketed underwritten Takedown Offering, three (3) Business Days following the date notice is given to such participant), the Initiating Holder and the other Shelf Participants that request inclusion of their Registrable Securities shall be entitled to sell their Registrable Securities in such offering. Each holder of Registrable Securities that is a Shelf Participant agrees that such holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of the notice of a Takedown Demand and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such notice without the prior written consent of Pubco until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by the holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement.
4
(e) Priority on Demand Registrations and Takedown Offerings. Pubco shall not include in any Demand Registration that is an underwritten offering any securities that are not Demand Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the managing underwriters and the Advisor. If a Demand Registration or a Takedown Offering is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise Pubco in writing that in their opinion the number of Demand Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Advisor, Pubco shall include in such offering, prior to the inclusion of any securities which are not Demand Registrable Securities, the Demand Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Registration (pro rata among the holders of such Demand Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of Demand Registrable Securities owned by each such holder).
(f) Restrictions on Demand Registrations and Takedown Offerings. Any demand for the filing of a Registration Statement or for a registered offering (including a Takedown Offering) hereunder will be subject to the constraints of any applicable lock-up arrangements to which any demanding Investor is party, and, except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement, any such demand must be deferred until such lock-up arrangements no longer apply with respect to the Registrable Securities subject thereto.
(i) Pubco shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration within 60 days prior to Pubco’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of a Registration Statement in respect of an underwritten public offering of Pubco’s securities and for such a period of time after such a filing as the managing underwriters request, provided that such period shall not exceed 120 days from the date of the underwriting agreement entered into in respect of such underwritten public offering. Pubco may postpone, for up to 60 days from the date of the request, the filing or the effectiveness of a Registration Statement for a Demand Registration or suspend the use of a Prospectus that is part of any Resale Shelf Registration Statement (and therefore suspend sales of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to such Resale Shelf Registration Statement) by providing written notice to the holders of Registrable Securities in accordance with Section 2(f)(ii) if the board of directors of Pubco reasonably determines in good faith that the offer or sale of Registrable Securities would be expected to have a detrimental effect on any proposal or plan by Pubco or any subsidiary thereof to engage in any material acquisition or disposition of assets or stock (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any material merger, consolidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction or would require Pubco to disclose any material nonpublic information which would reasonably be likely to be detrimental to Pubco and its subsidiaries; provided that in such event, the holders of Registrable Securities initially requesting such Demand Registration or Takedown Demand shall be entitled to withdraw such request. Pubco may delay or suspend the effectiveness of a Registration Statement filed hereunder or Takedown Offering pursuant to this Section 2(f)(i) only once in any consecutive twelve-month period; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Pubco may in any event delay or suspend the effectiveness of Demand Registration or Takedown Offering in the case of an event described under Section 5(g) to enable it to comply with its obligations set forth in Section 5(f).
5
(ii) In the case of an event that causes Pubco to suspend the use of any Resale Shelf Registration as set forth in Section 2(f)(i) or pursuant to Section 5(g) (a “Suspension Event”), Pubco shall give a notice to the holders of Registrable Securities Registered pursuant to such Shelf Registration (a “Suspension Notice”), no later than three (3) Business Days from the date of such Suspension Event, to suspend sales of the Registrable Securities and, such notice shall state that such suspension shall continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing (provided that in each notice Pubco shall not disclose the basis for such suspension or any material non-public information to any Investor unless otherwise requested in writing by such Investor). Pubco shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Resale Shelf Registration Statement available for the sale by Investors of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable following a Suspension Event. A holder of Registrable Securities shall not effect any sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Resale Shelf Registration (or such filings) at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from Pubco and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined below); provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the foregoing shall not restrict or otherwise affect the consummation of any sale pursuant to a contract entered into, or order placed, by any holder prior to the delivery the Suspension Notice. Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees that such holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of the Suspension Notice and shall not disclose the information contained in such Suspension Notice without the prior written consent of Pubco until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by such holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement. The holders of Registrable Securities may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Shelf Registration (or such filings) following further written notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from Pubco, which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by Pubco to the holders of Registrable Securities and to such holders’ counsel, if any, promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event.
(iii) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if Pubco shall give a Suspension Notice with respect to any Resale Shelf Registration pursuant to this Section 2(f), Pubco agrees that it shall extend the period of time during which such Resale Shelf Registration shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from the date of receipt by the holders of the Suspension Notice to and including the date of receipt by the holders of the End of Suspension Notice and provide copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume sales, with respect to each Suspension Event; provided that, such period of time shall not be extended beyond the date that Common Stock covered by such Resale Shelf Registration are no longer Registrable Securities.
(g) Selection of Underwriters. In connection with any Demand Registration, the Applicable Approving Party shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering; provided that, such selection shall be subject to the written consent of Pubco, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If any Takedown Offering is an underwritten offering, the Applicable Approving Party shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer such Takedown Offering. In each case, the Applicable Approving Party shall have the right to approve the underwriting arrangements with such investment banker(s) and manager(s) on behalf of all holders of Registrable Securities participating in such offering. All Investors proposing to distribute their securities through underwriting shall (together with Pubco) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting.
(h) Other Registration Rights. Each Investor acknowledges that the registration rights granted in this Agreement are subject to the written consent of the holders of a majority of the registrable securities subject to that certain amended and restated registration rights agreement, dated December 18, 2020, by and among, Pubco, DFHTA Sponsor LLC and the other parties thereto (the “Business Combination Registration Rights Agreement”). Pubco agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the holders of a majority of the registrable securities under the Business Combination Registration Rights Agreement to consent to the Registrations contemplated by this Agreement prior to December 31, 2021; provided that in the event such consent is not obtained, the Company and each Investor shall execute a joinder to the Business Combination Registration Rights Agreement, which joinder shall provide for Pubco to file a Resale Shelf Registration Statement following the request of the Advisor, but in any event not prior to August 31, 2022.

(i) Revocation of Demand Notice or Takedown Notice. At any time prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to a Demand Registration or the “pricing” of any offering relating to a Takedown Demand, the holders of Registrable Securities that requested such Demand Registration or Takedown Offering may revoke such request for a Demand Registration or Takedown Offering on behalf of all holders of Registrable Securities participating in such Demand Registration or Takedown Offering without liability to such holders of Registrable Securities, in each case by providing written notice to Pubco.
3. Piggyback Registrations.
(a) Right to Piggyback. Whenever Pubco proposes to register under the Securities Act an offering of any of its securities on behalf of any holders thereof (other than (i) pursuant to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, (ii) pursuant to a Demand Registration (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is addressed in and subject to the rights set forth in, Section 2 hereof), (iii) pursuant to a Takedown Demand (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is addressed in and subject to the rights set forth in, Section 2 hereof), (iv) in connection with registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 promulgated by the Commission or any successor forms, (v) pursuant to a registration relating solely to employment benefit plans, or (vi) in connection with a registration the primary purpose of which is to register debt securities) and the registration form to be used may be used for the Registration of Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), Pubco shall give prompt written notice to all holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a Piggyback Registration and, subject to the terms of Sections 3(c) and 3(d) hereof, shall include in such Piggyback Registration (and in all related registrations or qualifications under blue sky laws or in compliance with other registration requirements and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which Pubco has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten (10) Business Days after the delivery of Pubco’s notice; provided that any such other holder may withdraw its request for inclusion at any time prior to executing the underwriting agreement or, if none, prior to the applicable Registration Statement becoming effective.
(b) Piggyback Expenses. The Registration Expenses of the holders of Registrable Securities shall be paid by Pubco in all Piggyback Registrations, whether or not any such Registration became effective.
(c) Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary Registration on behalf of Pubco, and the managing underwriters advise Pubco in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such Registration exceeds the number of securities which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, Pubco shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities Pubco proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Registration by the Investors which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect (pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder), and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such Registration which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect.
(d) Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of Pubco’s securities other than holders of Registrable Securities, and the managing underwriters advise Pubco in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such Registration exceeds the number of securities which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, Pubco shall include in such Registration (i) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the holders initially requesting such Registration, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Registration by the Investors which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect (pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder), and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such Registration which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect.
7
(e) Other Registrations. If Pubco has previously filed a Registration Statement with respect to Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2 or pursuant to this Section 3, and if such previous Registration has not been withdrawn or abandoned, then Pubco shall not be required to file or cause to be effected any other Registration of any of its equity securities or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for its equity securities under the Securities Act (except on Form S-8 or any successor form or the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or a New Registration Statement) at the request of any holder or holders of such Registrable Securities until a period of at least 90 days has elapsed from the effective date of such previous Registration; provided, however, that Pubco shall at all times remain obligated to file, supplement and/or amend, as applicable, each Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 1 in accordance with Sections 1(a) and 1(b), as applicable.
(f) Right to Terminate Registration. Pubco shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any Registration initiated by it under this Section 3 whether or not any holder of Registrable Securities has elected to include securities in such Registration. The Registration Expenses of such withdrawn Registration shall be borne by Pubco in accordance with Section 7.
4. Agreements of Certain Holders.
(a) If required by the managing underwriter(s), in connection with any underwritten Public Offering on or after the date hereof, any Investor that beneficially owns 1% or more of the outstanding Common Stock on the date of such underwritten Public Offering shall enter into lock-up agreements with the managing underwriter(s) of such underwritten Public Offering in such form as agreed to by such managing underwriter(s).

In addition, (i) in no event shall any Investor that is not a director or executive officer of Pubco, or an Affiliate thereof, on the date of such underwritten Public Offering be required to enter into lockup agreements pursuant to this Section 4(a) on more than two (2) occasions (unless such Investor is including its Registrable Securities in an underwritten Registration and such lockup is requested by the managing underwriter(s) in connection therewith), (ii) any lock-up agreement into which any Investor enters into pursuant to this Section 4(a) shall be for a period of not more than sixty (60) days, (iii) from and after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Advisor may terminate the obligations of all Investors to enter into lock-up agreements pursuant to this Section 4(a) by tendering to the Company the immediately effective resignation of the Advisor Director (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) and immediately and irrevocably waiving all rights of the Advisor under Section 7 of the Advisory Agreement, (iv) no Investor shall be required to enter into a lock-up agreement pursuant to this Section 4(a) within six (6) months following the expiration of a previous lock-up agreement entered into by such Investor pursuant to this Section 4(a), and (v) no Investor shall be required to be subject to a lockup agreement pursuant to this Section 4(a) during the sixty (60) day period commencing immediately following the date the Lock-Up Period (as defined in the Lock-Up Agreement) for any Registrable Securities terminates.

Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, Pubco shall not be obligated to include such holder’s Registrable Securities to the extent Pubco has not received such information, and received any other reasonably requested selling stockholder questionnaires, on or prior to the later of (i) the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date on which such information is requested from such holder and (ii) the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement.

9

(k) enter into and perform such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in customary form) and take all such other actions as the Applicable Approving Party or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities (including, without limitation, if the Registration involves the Registration of Registrable Securities involving gross proceeds in excess of $25,000,000, participating in such number of “road shows”, investor presentations and marketing events as the underwriters managing such offering may reasonably request);

(m) take all reasonable actions to ensure that any Free-Writing Prospectus utilized in connection with any Demand Registration (including any Shelf Registration) or Piggyback Registration hereunder complies in all material respects with the Securities Act, is filed in accordance with the Securities Act to the extent required thereby, is retained in accordance with the Securities Act to the extent required thereby and, when taken together with the related Prospectus, shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(n) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission;
(o) permit any holder of Registrable Securities who, in its good faith judgment (based on the advice of counsel), could reasonably be expected to be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling Person of Pubco to participate in the preparation of such registration or comparable statement and to require the insertion therein of material furnished to Pubco in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of such holder and its counsel should be included;
10

(s) cooperate with each holder of Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA;
(t) if such Registration includes an underwritten public offering, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain a cold comfort letter from Pubco’s independent public accountants and addressed to the underwriters, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by cold comfort letters as the underwriters in such Registration reasonably request;
(u) provide a legal opinion of Pubco’s outside counsel, dated the effective date of such Registration Statement (and, if such Registration includes an underwritten Public Offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), with respect to the Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the Prospectus included therein (including the preliminary Prospectus) and such other documents relating thereto in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by legal opinions of such nature, which opinion shall be addressed to the underwriters;

(y) cooperate with each Investor that holds Registrable Securities being offered and the managing underwriter or underwriters with respect to an applicable Registration Statement, if any, to facilitate the timely (i) preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to such Registration Statement, and enable such certificates to be registered in such names and in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, or (ii) crediting of the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement to the applicable account (or accounts) with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian (“DWAC”) system, in any such case as such Investor or the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, may reasonably request; and

6. Termination of Rights. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6 to the contrary, the right of the Advisor and its Affiliates to include Registrable Securities in any Demand Registration or any Piggyback Registration shall not terminate pursuant to this Section 6 with respect to the Advisor and its Affiliates for so long as the Advisor has the right to designate an Advisor Director under Section 7 of the Advisory Agreement. Other than as set forth in the previous sentence, the right of any Investor to include Registrable Securities in any Demand Registration or any Piggyback Registration shall terminate on such date that (i) such Investor (together with its affiliates) beneficially owns less than 1% of the outstanding Common Stock, (ii) has held the securities for one year and (iii) may sell all of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without any restrictions as to volume or the manner of sale or otherwise; provided, however, that with respect to any Investor whose rights have terminated pursuant to this Section 6, if following such a termination, such Investor loses the ability to sell all of its Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without any restrictions as to volume or the manner of sale or otherwise due to a change in interpretive guidance by the Commission or otherwise, then such Investor’s right to include Registrable Securities in any Demand Registration or any Piggyback Registration shall be reinstated until such time as the Investor is once again able to sell all of its Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without any restrictions as to volume or the manner of sale or otherwise.
7. Registration Expenses.
(a) All expenses incident to Pubco’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration, qualification and filing fees, listing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, stock exchange rules and filings, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, fees and disbursements of custodians, and fees and disbursements of counsel for Pubco and all independent certified public accountants, underwriters (excluding underwriting discounts and commissions) and other Persons retained by Pubco (all such expenses being herein called “Registration Expenses”), shall be borne by Pubco as provided in this Agreement and, for the avoidance of doubt, Pubco also shall pay all of its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit or quarterly review, the expense of any liability insurance and the expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by Pubco are then listed. Each Person that sells securities hereunder shall bear and pay all underwriting discounts and commissions, underwriter marketing costs, brokerage fees and transfer taxes applicable to the securities sold for such Person’s account and all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing any such Person.
(b) Pubco shall reimburse the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel chosen by the Applicable Approving Party in connection with any underwritten Demand Registration.
12
8. Indemnification.
(a) Pubco agrees to (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Investor, each Person who controls such Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) each Investor’s and control Person’s respective officers, directors, members, partners, managers, agents, affiliates and employees from and against all losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses (“Losses”) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, Free-Writing Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of a Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made), and (ii) pay to each Investor and their respective officers, directors, members, partners, managers, agents, affiliates and employees and each Person who controls such Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act), as incurred, any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, except in each case of (i) or (ii) insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to Pubco or any managing underwriter by or on behalf of such Investor expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of Pubco (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall Pubco be liable in any such case for any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon an untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, Free-Writing Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, Free-Writing Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement or to the extent that such Loss results from an Investor’s initiation of a transaction pursuant to a Registration Statement during a Suspension Event noticed to such Investor by Pubco in accordance with Section 2(f)(ii) hereof. In connection with an underwritten offering, Pubco shall indemnify any underwriters or deemed underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable Securities.
(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder shall furnish to Pubco in writing such information relating to such holder as Pubco reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify Pubco, its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives and each Person who controls Pubco (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by or on behalf of such holder or to the extent that such Loss results from an Investor’s initiation of a transaction pursuant to a Registration Statement during a Suspension Event noticed to such Investor by Pubco in accordance with Section 2(f)(ii) hereof; provided that, the obligation to indemnify shall be individual, not joint and several, for each holder and shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.
(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) 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 materially prejudiced the indemnifying party in defending such claim) and (ii) 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 (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (as well as one local counsel for each applicable jurisdiction) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. In such instance, the conflicted indemnified parties shall have a right to retain one separate counsel, chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration, at the expense of the indemnifying party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Pubco shall not, without the prior written consent of the Person entitled to indemnification, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to any claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be or has been sought hereunder (whether or not any such indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the indemnified Persons of a full release from all liability with respect to such claim or which includes any admission as to fault or culpability or failure to act on the part of any indemnified Person.
13
(d) Each party hereto agrees that, if for any reason the indemnification provisions contemplated by Sections 8(a) or 8(b) are unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the actions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such 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, relates to information supplied by or on behalf of such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders or any underwriters or all of them were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or, except as provided in Section 8(c), defending any such action or claim. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The sellers’ obligations in this Section 8(d) to contribute shall be several in proportion to the amount of securities Registered by them and not joint and shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to such Registration (less the aggregate amount of any damages or other amounts such Investor has otherwise been required to pay (pursuant to Section 8(b) or otherwise) as a result of any untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions in connection with such Registration).
(e) The indemnification and contribution provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, manager, agent, representative or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities and the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
9. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Person may participate in any Registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (including, without limitation, pursuant to any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the underwriters; provided that no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities such holder has requested to include) and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, custody agreements, stock powers, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided that no holder of Registrable Securities included in any underwritten Registration shall be required to make any representations or warranties to Pubco or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding such holder, such holder’s title to the securities, such Person’s authority to sell such securities and such holder’s intended method of distribution) or to undertake any indemnification obligations to Pubco or the underwriters with respect thereto that are materially more burdensome than those provided in Section 8. Each holder of Registrable Securities shall execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by Pubco and the lead managing underwriter(s) that are consistent with such holder’s obligations under Section 4, Section 5 and this Section 9 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto, and Pubco shall execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the lead managing underwriter(s) (if applicable) in order to effect any Registration required hereunder. To the extent that any such agreement is entered into pursuant to, and consistent with, Section 4 and this Section 9, the respective rights and obligations created under such agreement shall supersede the respective rights and obligations of the holders, Pubco and the underwriters created pursuant to this Section 9.

Upon reasonable prior written request, Pubco shall deliver to the Investors a customary written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

For purposes hereof, “Registration Date” shall mean the date that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement covering the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived only with the prior written consent of Pubco and the Advisor, provided that no amendment may materially and disproportionately adversely affect the rights of any holder of Registrable Securities compared to other holders of Registrable Securities without the consent of such adversely affected holder. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 12(d) shall be binding upon each Investor and Pubco.

LOCK-UP AGREEMENT

CareMax, Inc.

Suite 400
Miami, FL 33126
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter agreement (this “Agreement”) relates to the Exclusive Real Estate Advisory Agreement entered into as of July 13, 2021 (the “Advisory Agreement”) by and between CareMax, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CareMax”), and Related CM Advisor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Related”), and the Subscription Agreement contemplated by the Advisory Agreement, by and between CareMax and Related. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein are defined in the Subscription Agreement and shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Subscription Agreement.
1. In order to induce all parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Advisory Agreement, the undersigned hereby agrees that:
(a) with respect to the Subscribed Shares held by the undersigned or any of its affiliates (as used herein as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act), from the date hereof until six (6) months after the Closing Date; and
(b) with respect to Warrant Shares obtained by the undersigned or any of its affiliates upon the exercise of any of the Warrants (all such Warrant Shares, together with the Subscribed Shares and any equity securities issued in exchange therefor, the “Lock-Up Shares”), from the date of such exercise as determined in accordance with Section 3.3.4 of the Warrants (the “Exercise Date”) until six (6) months after the Exercise Date; provided, however, that in the event that any portion of the Series B Warrant is exercised pursuant to subsection 3.3.1(b) of the Series B Warrant, the date in respect of such portion of the Series B Warrant shall be the later of (i) six (6) months after the Exercise Date and (ii) the date that the Company receives the Warrant Price (as defined in the Series B Warrant) for that portion of Warrant Shares exercised pursuant to the Series B Warrant (the applicable period set forth in each of clauses (a) and (b), the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not: (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, with respect to any Lock-Up Shares, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any of the Lock-Up Shares, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii); provided, however, that in the event the exercise of any of the Warrants and receipt of Warrant Shares in respect thereof results in a liability for taxes payable by the undersigned or its affiliate that is the beneficial owner of such Warrants or Warrant Shares, such person shall be permitted, notwithstanding the Lock-Up Period, to sell or otherwise dispose of Lock-Up Shares with an aggregate value not to exceed such tax liability (in such case, delivery of an certificate attesting to such holder’s tax liability to the Company shall be sufficient for purposes hereof).
2. The undersigned hereby authorizes CareMax to cause its transfer agent for the Class A Common Stock to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to, the Lock-Up Shares during the Lock-Up Period, as applicable thereto, and each of the Warrants shall contain a legend noting note such restrictions.
3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may sell or otherwise transfer Lock-Up Shares during the undersigned’s lifetime or on death (or, if the undersigned is not a natural person, during its existence):
(a) if the undersigned is not a natural person, to its direct or indirect equity holders or to any of its other affiliates;
(b) as a bona fide gift or gifts;
(c) to the immediate family members (including spouses, significant others, lineal descendants, brothers and sisters) of the undersigned;
(d) to a family trust, foundation or partnership established for the exclusive benefit of the undersigned, its equity holders or any of their respective immediate family members;
(e) to a charitable foundation controlled by the undersigned, its equity holders or any of their respective immediate family members;
(f) if the undersigned is not a natural person, to any affiliate, subsidiary, employee, officer, director, investment fund controlled or managed by the undersigned or its affiliates, or commonly controlled or managed investment fund; or
(g) if the undersigned is not a natural person, through distributions to limited or general partners, members, managers, equity holders, stockholders or affiliates of the undersigned or via the admission of new equity holders, partners, members or managers into any entity holding any of the Lock-Up Shares.
provided, however, that in the case of any sale or transfer pursuant to clauses (a) through (g) above, such sale or transfer shall be conditioned upon entry by such transferees into a written agreement, addressed to CareMax, agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto.
4. The restrictions set forth in this Agreement shall not apply to:
(a) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the sale or transfer of Lock-Up Shares; provided, however, that such plan does not provide for the sale or transfer of Lock-Up Shares during the Lock-Up Period;
(b) any shares of Common Stock purchased by the undersigned in the open market or in any public or private capital raising transaction of CareMax other than the Lock-Up Shares; or
(c) the inclusion of any Lock-Up Shares (but not the subsequent sale or transfer of such Lock-Up Shares) as part of any resale shelf registration statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.
5. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and that this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the undersigned, enforceable in accordance with its terms. Upon request, the undersigned will execute any additional documents reasonably necessary in connection with enforcement hereof.
6. This Agreement and the other Subscription Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and no third party shall have the right to enforce the terms of this Agreement directly against the undersigned holders of Lock-Up Shares. This Agreement may not be changed, amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by CareMax and the undersigned.
7. For the avoidance of any doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the undersigned shall retain all of its rights as a stockholder of CareMax during the Lock-up Period with respect to the Subscription Shares and any Warrant Shares held by the undersigned, including the right to vote, and to receive any dividends and distributions in respect of, any Class A Common Stock.
2
8. No party hereto may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee. This Agreement shall be binding on the undersigned and its successors and assigns.
9. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. The parties hereto (i) all agree that any action, proceeding, claim or dispute arising out of, or relating in any way to, this Agreement shall be brought and enforced in exclusively in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, the Supreme Court of the State of New York and the federal courts of the United States of America located in the State of New York, and sitting in the County of New York, and irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction and venue, which jurisdiction and venue shall be exclusive and (ii) waives any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and venue or that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.
10. Any notice, consent or request to be given in connection with any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by overnight mail or similar private courier service, by certified mail (return receipt requested) or email transmission to the address or email address (as applicable) set forth below such party’s name on the signature page hereto.
11. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile, electronic mail, in .pdf or other electronic submission) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

CAREMAX ENTERS INTO EXCLUSIVE AGREEMENT WITH RELATED COMPANIES TO SUPPORT CAREMAX IN OPENING MEDICAL CENTERS IN SENIOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING THROUGHOUT THE U.S.
· | The Agreement is Designed to Support CareMax in Bringing Convenient, Comprehensive Value-Based Healthcare to Inhabitants of Senior Affordable Housing Across the Country |
· | Expected to Accelerate CareMax’s Nationwide de novo Growth Strategy |
· | Related to Make a Multi-Million Dollar Equity Investment in CareMax; Related EVP Bryan Cho To Join CareMax’s Board of Directors |
· | CareMax Announces Three New Clinics Planned for New York City |
NEW YORK (JULY 13, 2021) – CareMax, Inc. (NASDAQ: CMAX; CMAXW), a technology-enabled provider of value-based primary care to seniors, has entered into an exclusive advisory agreement with an affiliate of The Related Companies LP (“Related”), one of the largest private owners of affordable housing in the United States.
Since 2011, CareMax has employed a “Whole Person Health” approach that takes into consideration all facets of a patient’s health, from in-house specialists to wellness activities to transportation. This care is designed to treat the entirety of the patient, not just their individual medical conditions. CareMax’s unique blend of targeted technology and comprehensive, high-touch care has resulted in reduced costs, better clinical outcomes, and five-star patient quality scores.
Under the terms of the agreement, Related will advise CareMax on opening new medical centers nationwide, including but not limited to within and proximate to affordable housing communities that may be owned by Related. Related’s nearly 50 year history of serving historically underserved neighborhoods has created strong relationships with community leaders, government agencies, social service providers, and other affordable housing developers. In addition, the program will target neighborhoods where commercial real estate has struggled in recent years leading to closed storefronts and landlords seeking high credit quality tenants such as CareMax that community stakeholders are likely to embrace. The new centers will be operated by CareMax or its affiliates.
Originally founded as primarily an affordable housing developer, owner, and manager in 1972, today Related continues to be one of the largest developers and preservationists of affordable and workforce housing in the country.
“At Related, we aspire to innovate ways to enhance the quality of life for all of our residents and the communities we serve,” said Bryan Cho, Executive Vice President of The Related Companies LP. “Quality healthcare is essential for all communities to thrive. We chose CareMax to help expand their reach because their fully integrated model is uniquely positioned to address the systemic issue many low-income seniors face.”
“CareMax has been serving senior residents of affordable housing, including at one medical center embedded inside a senior housing community,” said Carlos de Solo, President and CEO of CareMax. “Together with Related we saw that there is a profound nationwide need for medical and social care within and convenient to affordable housing communities. We engaged Related as our real estate advisors to assist us in locating our de novo medical centers directly within and near to these affordable senior communities nationwide.”
CareMax’s de novo expansion is planned to cover multiple states from coast to coast where Related and other affordable housing developers have an aging population in need – many in federally recognized Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities. This expansion dovetails well with the relationships that CareMax has established with leading national and regional payers who have requested CareMax’s help in addressing the need for senior-focused value-based care in urban settings.
In addition, public housing communities across the country also have aging populations in need of senior healthcare solutions. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 53% of households are headed by a person 62 years or older.
As a result of this transaction, CareMax is accelerating the speed and geographies in which it plans to open new medical centers, and projects at least 15 new centers in 2022, approximately 25 new centers in 2023 and approximately 35 new centers in 2024. CareMax believes that this pace can continue to accelerate in subsequent years. The initial three medical centers that CareMax plans to open as part of this agreement with Related will be located in the Bronx Terminal Market in Bronx, NY and Ocean Park Apartments in Far Rockaway, NY, both owned by Related, as well as on 106th Street and 3rd Avenue in East Harlem, New York, which is owned by a third party and was identified by Related. Openings of these medical centers are planned for 2022.
“We are excited to work with Related to introduce CareMax’s comprehensive, value-based, high-quality primary healthcare to seniors in new markets across the country. Related’s dedication to their residents and neighbors echoes the CareMax dedication to our patients – to do everything we can to improve their lives,” said Mr. de Solo. “The CareMax model reveals the inefficiencies and ineffectiveness of a fee for service system. We believe that CareMax’s proactive, data-driven approach to chronic disease management as well as our focus on the social determinants of health will improve patient outcomes in these underserved communities. We believe that our model is transformative, repeatable, and scalable.”
As part of the agreement, Related has purchased $5 million of Class A common stock from CareMax at a price of $10 per share, and has received warrants to purchase up to 8 million additional shares of CareMax Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. The warrants are or will become exercisable in connection with the opening of new medical centers for which Related has provided services; 6 million of the warrants are subject to redemption at $18.00 in line with CareMax’s existing public warrants. The agreement is exclusive as to Related’s advisory services and has a term of 12 years. Bryan Cho, Executive Vice President at Related Companies, will join the CareMax Board of Directors
Additional information regarding the agreements with Related and a presentation with additional detail will be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by CareMax with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and via CareMax's investor relations website (https://ir.caremax.com).
