The Business Combination Agreement provides that, among other things and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, the following transactions will occur (together with the other agreements and transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”):

(ii)    as a result of the Business Combination, each outstanding share of Rover common stock and preferred stock as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Business Combination, will be converted into, at the election of the holder thereof (subject to the limitations on such elections set forth in the Business Combination Agreement) the right to receive (a) an amount of cash or shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Caravel (“Caravel Common Stock”), based on the pro rata portion applicable to such share of Rover common stock or preferred stock, as applicable, of an aggregate purchase price equal to $1.350 billion, as adjusted by (1) Rover’s cash, indebtedness, and accrued tax liabilities as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, (2) the unpaid transaction expenses of Rover and Caravel as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Business Combination, and (3) the aggregate exercise price of Rover options and Rover warrants outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Business Combination, which options and warrants will be assumed by Caravel subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement and (b) the contingent “earn-out” right to receive a pro rata portion of up to 22,500,000 shares of Caravel Common Stock in the aggregate based on the achievement of certain trading price targets following the Closing, which amount of “earn-out” shares will be adjusted based on a formula set forth in the Business Combination Agreement to reflect a portion of the value of such “earn-out” shares deemed to be earned upon exercise of Rover options and warrants assumed by Caravel in the Business Combination; and

The Board of Directors of Caravel (the “Board”) has unanimously (i) approved and declared advisable the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) resolved to recommend approval of the Business Combination Agreement and related matters by the stockholders of Caravel.

Such exhibit and the information set forth therein shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise be subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act.

Additional Information

In connection with the Proposed Transaction (as defined below), Caravel intends to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 that will include a proxy statement for the stockholders of Caravel that also constitutes a prospectus with respect to the shares of Caravel Common Stock to be offered and sold to the stockholders of Rover. Caravel urges investors, stockholders and other interested persons to read, when available, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus as well as other documents filed with the SEC because these documents will contain important information about Caravel, Rover and the Proposed Transactions. After the registration statement is declared effective, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus to be included in the registration statement will be mailed to stockholders of Caravel as of a record date to be established for voting on the Proposed Transactions. Stockholders will also be able to obtain a copy of the proxy statement/prospectus, without charge by directing a request to: Nebula Caravel Acquisition Corporation, Four Embarcadero Center, Suite 2100, San Francisco, CA 94111. The preliminary and definitive proxy statement/prospectus to be included in the registration statement, once available, can also be obtained, without charge, at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).

Participants in the Solicitation

Caravel, Rover and their respective directors and executive officers may be considered participants in the solicitation of proxies with respect to the Proposed Transactions under the rules of the SEC. Information regarding the persons who may, under the rules of the SEC, be deemed participants in the solicitation of the stockholders in connection with the potential transaction will be set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus when it is filed with the SEC. These documents can be obtained free of charge from the sources indicated above.

Non-Solicitation

This Current Report on Form 8-K is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the potential transaction and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities of Caravel or Rover, nor shall there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a definitive prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “could”, “continue”, “expect”, “estimate”, “may”, “plan”, “outlook”, “future” and “project” and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These statements, which involve risks and uncertainties, relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable and may also relate to Caravel’s and Rover’s future prospects, developments and business strategies. In particular, such forward-looking statements include statements concerning the timing of the Merger, the business plans, objectives, expectations and intentions of Caravel once the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby (the “Proposed Transactions”) and change of name are complete (“New Rover”), and Rover’s estimated and future results of operations, business strategies, competitive position, industry environment and potential growth opportunities. These statements are based on Caravel’s or Rover’s management’s current expectations and beliefs, as well as a number of assumptions concerning future events.


Such forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside Caravel’s or Rover’s control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors include, but are not limited to: (1) the ability of Caravel and Rover to complete the Business Combination; (2) New Rover’s financial and business performance following the Business Combination, including financial projections and business metrics; (3) the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination; (4) the anticipated costs associated with the Business Combination; (5) the impact of COVID-19 on Rover’s and New Rover’s business; (6) the outcome of any known and unknown litigation and regulatory proceedings and/or the ability of the parties to complete the Proposed Transactions.

Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements can be found in Caravel’s current reports on Form 8-K, which are available, free of charge, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, and will also be provided in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 and Caravel’s proxy statement/prospectus when available. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect us. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and Caravel and Rover undertake no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, changes in expectations, future events or otherwise.

This communication is not intended to be all-inclusive or to contain all the information that a person may desire in considering an investment in Caravel and is not intended to form the basis of an investment decision in Caravel. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning Caravel and Rover, the Proposed Transactions or other matters and attributable to Caravel and Rover or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure and Related Information

Certain of the exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K references EBITDA and EBITDA margin, which are financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardized meaning, and the definition of EBITDA used by Rover may be different from other, similarly named non-GAAP measures used by others. In addition, such financial information is unaudited and does not conform to SEC Regulation S-X and as a result such information may be presented differently in future filings by Rover with the SEC.

ARTICLE III

EFFECTS OF THE MERGER ON THE COMPANY CAPITAL STOCK AND EQUITY AWARDS

3.1. Conversion of Securities.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Company Stockholder, each share of Company Capital Stock, that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) any shares of Company Capital Stock held in the treasury of the Company, which treasury shares shall be canceled as part of the Merger and shall not constitute “Company Capital Stock” hereunder (each such share, a “Treasury Share”), and (ii) any shares of Company Capital Stock held by Company Stockholders who have perfected and not withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to the applicable provisions of the DGCL) shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive:

(i) if the holder of such share makes a proper election to receive cash consideration (a “Cash Election”) with respect to such share of Company Capital Stock pursuant to Section 3.6(c) (each such share, a “Cash Electing Share,” and each such holder that has made a Cash Election, a “Cash Electing Stockholder”), an amount in cash for such Cash Electing Share, without interest, equal to the Per Share Value;

(ii) if the holder of such share makes a proper election to receive Parent Class A Common Stock share consideration (a “Stock Election”), or is deemed to have made a Stock Election (including if the holder fails to make a Cash Election or Stock Election accordance the procedures set forth on Section 3.6), with respect to such share of Company Capital Stock, an amount of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock equal to the Per Share Securities Payment Amount, subject to Section 3.1(c); and

(iii) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.7, an amount of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock equal to the Per Share Earn Out Share Amount, subject to Section 3.1(c).

(b) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent or Merger Sub, the shares of Merger Sub Capital Stock, shall be converted into one 117,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001, of the Surviving Corporation.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no fractional shares of Parent Class A Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger. In lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Class A Common Stock to which any Company Stockholder would otherwise be entitled in the Merger, the Exchange Agent (as defined below) shall round down to the nearest whole share of Parent Class A Common Stock (based on the aggregate number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock to which such Company Stockholder would otherwise be entitled in the Merger) in each case of any issuance of shares of Parent

 

-27-


Class A Common Stock to Company Stockholders pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(ii) or Section 3.7 (but aggregating, for such purposes, any issuances pursuant to multiple Triggering Events that may occur at the same time). All fractional shares of Parent Class A Common Stock which a Company Stockholder would be otherwise entitled to receive as a result of the Merger shall be aggregated and calculations shall be rounded to five decimal places. In lieu of any such fractional shares, each Company Stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to such fractional shares shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash, without interest, representing such holder’s proportionate interest in the net proceeds from the sale of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock representing all such fractional shares (the “Excess Shares”) by the Exchange Agent on behalf of all such holders in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.1(c). The amount of cash which each Company Stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to fractional shares of Parent Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive shall be an amount equal to (i) the net proceeds of such sale(s) of Excess Shares by the Exchange Agent, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of fractional interests to which such Company Stockholder would otherwise be entitled and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Excess Shares. As soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to the Company Stockholders in lieu of any fractional share interests in Parent Class A Common Stock, the Exchange Agent shall make available such amounts, without interest, to the Company Stockholders entitled to receive such cash following the procedures in Section 3.2. The sale of the Excess Shares by the Exchange Agent shall be executed in round lots to the extent practicable. Until the net proceeds of any such sale or sales have been distributed to the Company Stockholders, the Exchange Agent shall hold such proceeds in trust for such Company Stockholders. The net proceeds of any such sale or sales of the Excess Shares to be distributed to the Company Stockholders shall be reduced by any and all commissions, transfer Taxes and other out-of-pocket transaction costs, as well as any expenses, of the Exchange Agent incurred in connection with such sale or sales.

3.2. Exchange Procedures.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Parent shall appoint an exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) to act as the agent for the purpose of paying the Aggregate Closing Consideration to the Company Stockholders. At or before the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent an amount of cash equal to the Closing Cash Payment Amount, a number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock equal to the Closing Number of Securities.

(b) Reasonably promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall send or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each Company Stockholder whose Company Capital Stock was converted pursuant to Section 3.1(a) into the right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration and the cash amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.1(c), a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and the risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper transfer of each share to the Exchange Agent, and which letter of transmittal and instructions will be in customary form reasonably agreed by Parent and the Company) for use in such exchange (each, a “Letter of Transmittal”).

(c) Each holder of shares of Company Capital Stock that have been converted into the right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, pursuant to Section 3.1(a), shall be entitled to receive such portion of the Aggregate Closing Consideration, upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request), together with a duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Exchange Agent, with (i) any cash portion of the Aggregate Closing Consideration or required to be paid to Company Stockholders pursuant to Section 3.1(c) being delivered via wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with instructions provided in such Letter of Transmittal, and (ii) the equity portion of the Aggregate Closing Consideration being delivered via book-entry issuance, in each case of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), less any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 3.3(a). No interest shall be paid or accrued upon the transfer of any share of Company Capital Stock.

 

-28-


(d) Promptly following the date that is one (1) year after the Effective Time, Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to deliver to Parent all documents in its possession relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Exchange Agent’s duties shall terminate. Thereafter, any portion of the Aggregate Closing Consideration that remains unclaimed shall be returned to Parent, and any Person that was a holder of shares of Company Capital Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time that has not exchanged such shares of Company Capital Stock for an applicable portion of the Aggregate Closing Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.2 prior to the date that is one (1) year after the Effective Time, may transfer such shares of Company Capital Stock to Parent and (subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and similar Laws) receive in consideration therefor, and Parent shall promptly deliver, such applicable portion of the Aggregate Closing Consideration without any interest thereupon. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any of the Aggregate Closing Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to and in accordance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. If any such shares shall not have not been transferred immediately prior to such date on which any amounts payable pursuant to this Article III would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, any such amounts shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

3.3. Treatment of Options and Company Warrants.

(a) Treatment of Options.

(i) Each Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assumed by Parent. Each Option so assumed by Parent pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Company Equity Incentive Plan and the option agreement relating thereto (including with respect to the vesting thereof), as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (A) such assumed Option shall be exercisable for that number of whole shares of Parent Class A Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by the Option Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share, and (B) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Option shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such assumed Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (y) the Option Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent; provided, however, that in the case of any Option to which Section 421 of the Code applies by reason of its qualification under Section 422 of the Code, the exercise price of the Option, the number of shares purchasable pursuant to such Option and the terms and conditions of exercise of such Option shall be determined in order to comply with Section 424 of the Code.

(ii) The Company shall take all necessary actions to (i) effect the treatment of Options pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) in accordance with the applicable Company Equity Incentive Plan and the applicable award agreements, and (ii) terminate the Company Equity Incentive Plans and the shares reserved thereunder as of the Effective Time and to ensure no new awards are granted thereunder from and following the Effective Time.

 

-29-


(b) Treatment of Company Warrants.

(i) Each Company Warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assumed by Parent (except to the extent otherwise provided by the terms thereof). Each such Company Warrant shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (A) such Company Warrant shall be exercisable for that number of whole shares of Parent Class A Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by the (x) Per Share Securities Payment Amount and (y) the Per Share Earn Out Share Amount, provided that any shares of Parent Class A Common Stock issuable pursuant to this section (y) shall be issuable on account of such Company Warrant at the same time, and on the same terms and subject to the conditions, as the applicable portion of the Earn Out Shares are issuable to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Section 3.7, as if the holder of such Company Warrant were a Company Stockholder with respect to the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (B) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Company Warrant shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Company Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (y) the Per Share Securities Payment Amount, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.

(ii) The Company shall take all necessary actions to effect the treatment of Company Warrants pursuant to this Section 3.3(b) in accordance with the applicable warrant agreements and shall promptly furnish to Parent copies of any resolutions adopted or agreements entered into in connection therewith.

3.4. Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision to this Agreement, Parent, the Company and the Exchange Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement any such Taxes are required to be deducted and withheld from such amounts under the Code or any other applicable Law (as reasonably determined by Parent, the Company, or the Exchange Agent, respectively). To the extent that any amounts are so deducted and withheld, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made and paid to the applicable Governmental Authority.

3.5. Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who is entitled to demand and has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares of Company Capital Stock being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws, or loses such holder’s appraisal rights under the DGCL) shall not be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, waives, withdraws, or loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such shares of Company Capital Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.1 without interest thereon, upon transfer of such shares. The Company shall provide Parent prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Capital Stock, any waiver or withdrawal of any such demand, and any other demand, notice, or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time that relates to such demand. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise, or offer to settle or compromise, any such demands.

3.6. Consideration Election Procedures.

(a) On or prior to the Election Date, each Company Stockholder entitled to receive consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(a) shall, subject to the terms of any agreement between such Company Stockholder and the Company, be entitled to specify a percentage of the number of such holder’s shares of Company Capital Stock with respect to which such holder makes a Cash Election or a Stock Election by complying with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.6.

(b) If the Maximum Cash Payment Amount exceeds the Aggregate Cash Election Amount, then each Cash Electing Stockholder will be deemed to have made a Cash Election with respect to the number of shares of Company Capital Stock with respect to which such Cash Electing Stockholder has made a Cash Election in accordance with Section 3.6.

(c) If the Aggregate Cash Election Amount exceeds the Maximum Cash Payment Amount, then the aggregate number of Cash Electing Shares shall be reduced to an amount equal to the Adjusted Aggregate Cash Electing Shares (such shares, the “Available Cash Electing Shares”). The Available Cash Electing Shares shall be allocated among each Cash Electing Stockholder (and such Cash Electing Stockholder will automatically be deemed to have made a Cash Election only with respect to a number of shares of Company Capital Stock held by such Cash Electing Stockholder) as follows:

(i) First, each Cash Electing Stockholder shall be allocated a number of Available Cash Electing Shares equal to the lesser of (A) the number of shares of Company Capital Stock with respect to which such Cash Electing Stockholder has made a Cash Election in accordance with Section 3.6 and (B) the product of (x) the number of total Available Cash Electing Shares multiplied by (y) such Cash Electing Stockholder’s Cash Electing Stockholder Pro Rata Share (the “Initial Allocation”).

(ii) Next, each then Remaining Cash Electing Stockholder shall be allocated a number of Available Cash Electing Shares equal to the lesser of (A) the number of shares of Company Capital Stock with respect to which such Cash Electing Stockholder has made a Cash Election in accordance with Section 3.6 minus any Available Cash Electing Shares allocated to the Cash Electing Stockholders pursuant to the Initial Allocation or any previous Subsequent Allocation and (B) the product of (x) the number of total Available Cash Electing Shares that have not been previously allocated to the Cash Electing Stockholders pursuant to the Initial Allocation or any previous Subsequent Allocation (the then “Remaining Available Cash Electing Shares”) multiplied by (b) such Remaining Cash Electing Stockholder’s Remaining Cash Electing Stockholder Pro Rata Share (each a “Subsequent Allocation”). A number of sequential Subsequent Allocations shall be repeated iteratively until such time as either (A) there remains only one Remaining Cash Electing Stockholder, who will then be allocated all then Remaining Available Cash Electing Shares or (B) all Available Cash Electing Shares have been allocated pursuant to the Initial Allocation and such Subsequent Allocations (the final allocation pursuant to (A) or (B), the “Residual Allocation”). For clarity, upon the completion of the allocations contemplated by this Section 3.6(c), each Cash Electing Stockholder that has not been allocated pursuant to this Section 3.6(c) a number of Available Cash Electing Shares equal to the number of shares of Company Capital Stock with respect to which such Cash Electing Stockholder has made a Cash Election in accordance with Section 3.6 shall receive be allocated the same amount of Available Cash Electing Shares as a proportion of such Cash Electing Stockholder’s Cash Electing Stockholder Vested Equity Interest.

(iii) Each Cash Electing Stockholder shall automatically be deemed automatically and irrevocably be deemed to have made a Stock Election with respect to such number of shares of Company Capital Stock held by such Cash Electing Stockholder equal to the excess of (A) the number of shares of Company Capital Stock held by such Cash Electing Stockholder (including shares with respect to which such Cash Electing Stockholder has made a Cash Election in accordance with Section 3.6) minus (B) the number of Available Cash Electing Shares that have been allocated to such Cash Electing Stockholder pursuant to the allocations contemplated by this Section 3.6(c).

(d) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, the Company shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to each registered holder of Company Capital Stock on the date of this Agreement a form of election (the “Form of Election”), together with instructions for completing and returning to the Company the completed and executed Form of Election. Each Company Stockholder entitled to receive consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(a) may use the Form of Election to irrevocably make a Cash Election or a Stock Election in accordance with such instructions. In the event that any such Company Stockholder fails to make prior to the Election Date a proper Cash Election or a Stock Election with respect to any or all shares of Company Capital Stock held such holder, then such holder shall be automatically and irrevocably be deemed to have made a Stock Election with respect to those shares. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make the Form of Election available to all persons who become holders of Company Capital Stock during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Election Date, and who are entitled to receive consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(a).

(e) Any applicable Company Stockholder’s election pursuant to the Form of Election will be deemed properly made only if the Company has received at its designated office, by 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on the tenth (10th) Business Day following the date on which the Form of Elections are first delivered to the registered holders of Company Common Stock (the “Election Date”), a Form of Election properly completed in accordance with the accompanying instructions and accompanied by any additional documents required by the instructions set forth in or accompanying the delivery of the Form of Election. The Company shall publicly announce the Election Date upon the first delivery of the Form of Elections to the registered holders of Company Capital Stock.

(f) Any Cash Election or Stock Election is final and irrevocable, unless (i) otherwise consented to in writing by the Company (which such consent may, in the Company’s sole discretion, be provided or denied), or (ii) this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Article VIII, in which case all Cash Elections and Stock Elections shall automatically be revoked concurrently with the termination of this Agreement. Without limiting the application of any other transfer restrictions that may otherwise exist, after a Cash Election or a Stock Election is validly made or deemed to be made with respect to any shares of Company Capital Stock, no further registration of transfers of such shares shall be made on the stock transfer books of the Company until following the Effective Time, unless and until such Cash Election or Stock Election is validly revoked in accordance with this Section 3.6.

(g) The determination of the Company shall be final, conclusive and binding in the event of ambiguity or uncertainty as to whether or not a Cash Election or a Stock Election has been properly made, deemed to be made, or revoked pursuant to this Section 3.6. The Company shall also make all computations contemplated by Section 3.6, and this computation shall be final, conclusive and binding (other than in the case of manifest error). The Company may make any rules, subject to Parent’s prior written approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), as are consistent with this Section 3.6 for the implementation of Cash Elections and Stock Elections as shall be necessary or desirable to effect such elections in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, Parent and the Company shall reduce any Company Stockholder’s Cash Election to the extent reasonably necessary in order to permit the transactions contemplated hereby the qualify for the intended tax treatment pursuant to Section 2.7.

(i) Upon the occurrence of Triggering Event I, the Per Share Triggering Event I Earn Out Share Amount;

(ii) Upon the occurrence of Triggering Event II, the Per Share Triggering Event II Earn Out Share Amount; and

(iii) Upon the occurrence of Triggering Event III, the Per Share Triggering Event III Earn Out Share Amount.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, the Company Stockholders shall be entitled to receive Earn Out Shares upon the occurrence of each Triggering Event; provided, however, that (i) each Triggering Event shall only occur once, if at all, (ii) multiple Triggering Events may occur at the same time and (iii) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Company Stockholders in the aggregate be entitled to receive an aggregate number of Earn Out Shares in excess of the product of (A) 22,500,000 multiplied by (B) the Earn Out Shares Allocation Ratio.

(c) If, during the Earn Out Period, there is a Change of Control, then immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control: (a) any Triggering Event that has not previously occurred shall be deemed to have occurred; and (b) Parent shall issue the applicable Earn Out Shares to the Company Stockholders (in accordance with their respective pro rata share), and the recipients of such issued Earn Out Shares shall be eligible to participate in such Change of Control with respect to such Earn Out Shares.

(d) Any issuance of Earn Out Shares, including any issuance of Earn Out Shares made upon the occurrence of a Change of Control pursuant to Section 3.7(c), shall be treated as an adjustment to the Aggregate Merger Consideration by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Tax law.

Parent has performed all material obligations required to be performed by it to date under, and is not in default, breach or delinquent in performance or any other respect (claimed or actual) in connection with, the Trust Agreement, and no event has occurred which, with due notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default or breach thereunder.

The Company further acknowledges that, as described in the prospectus dated December 9, 2020 (the “Prospectus”) available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of Parent assets consist of the cash proceeds of Parent’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account for the benefit of Parent, certain of its public stockholders and the underwriters of Parent’s initial public offering (the “Trust Account”). The Company acknowledges that it has been advised by Parent that funds in the Trust Account may be disbursed only in accordance with the Trust Agreement and Parent’s Governing Documents. For and in consideration of Parent entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby irrevocably waives any right, title, interest or claim of any kind it has or may have in the future in or to any monies in the Trust Account and agree not to seek recourse against the Trust Account; provided, that (x) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Company’s right to pursue a claim against Parent for legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the consummation of the transactions (including a claim for Parent to specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement and cause the disbursement of the balance of the cash remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the Parent Stockholder Redemptions) to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Trust Agreement) so long as such claim would not affect Parent’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate the Parent Stockholder Redemptions, or for fraud and (y) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Company may have in the future against Parent’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds).

9.2. Waiver. Each provision in this Agreement may only be waived by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such provision so waived is sought. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (a) when delivered personally by hand (with written confirmation of receipt by other than automatic means, whether electronic or otherwise), (b) when sent by email (with no automated reply, such as an out-of-office notification, no mail undeliverable notification or other rejection notice) or (c) one (1) Business Day following the day sent by an internationally recognized overnight courier (with written confirmation of receipt), in each case, at the following addresses or e-mail addresses (or to such other address or e-mail address as a party may have specified by notice given to the other party pursuant to this provision):

The parties acknowledge and agree that the parties hereto shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (i) there is adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any party seeking an order or injunction to prevent breaches or threatened breaches and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

SPONSOR SUPPORT AGREEMENT; COVENANTS

1.1 Binding Effect of Merger Agreement. Each Sponsor Party hereby acknowledges that it has read the Merger Agreement and this Sponsor Agreement and has had the opportunity to consult with its tax and legal advisors. Each Sponsor Party shall be bound by and comply with Sections 6.6 (No Solicitation by Parent) and 9.12 (Publicity) of the Merger Agreement (and any relevant definitions contained in any such Sections) as if such Sponsor Party was an original signatory to the Merger Agreement with respect to such provisions. Each Sponsor Party agrees to take all necessary action (to the extent such action is not prohibited by applicable Law and within such Sponsor Party’s control) to cause the Board of Directors of Parent to be reconstituted and comprised of the members described in Section 6.12 of the Merger Agreement immediately following the Effective Time.


1.2 No Transfer. During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the earlier of (a) the Effective Time and (b) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with Section 8.1 thereof (the earlier of (a) and (b), the “Expiration Time”), each Sponsor Party shall not, directly or indirectly, (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, file (or participate in the filing of) a registration statement with the SEC (other than the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement) 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 shares of Parent Common Stock (“Parent Common Shares”) or Parent Warrants owned by such Sponsor Party, (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 shares of Parent Common Shares or Parent Warrants owned by such Sponsor Party or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii) (clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) collectively, a “Transfer”).

1.3 New Shares. In the event that (a) any Parent Common Shares, Parent Warrants or other Parent Securities are issued to a Sponsor Party after the date of this Sponsor Agreement pursuant to any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of Parent Common Shares or Parent Warrants of, on or affecting the Parent Common Shares or Parent Warrants owned by such Sponsor Party, (b) a Sponsor Party purchases or otherwise acquires beneficial ownership of any Parent Common Shares, Parent Warrants or other Parent Securities after the date of this Sponsor Agreement and prior to the Closing, or (c) a Sponsor Party acquires the right to vote or share in the voting of any Parent Common Shares or other Parent after the date of this Sponsor Agreement (such Parent Common Shares, Parent Warrants or other Parent, collectively the “New Securities”), then such New Securities acquired or purchased by such Sponsor Party shall be subject to the terms of this Sponsor Agreement (other than the provisions of Section 1.9, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall only apply to Subject Shares and Subject Warrants) to the same extent as if they constituted the Parent Common Shares or Parent Warrants owned by such Sponsor Party as of the date hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, “Parent Securities” means (i) any outstanding shares of capital stock of, or other equity or voting interest in, the Parent, (ii) any outstanding securities of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of, or other equity or voting interest in, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) any outstanding options, warrants, rights or other commitments or agreements to acquire from Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or that obligate Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to issue or register, or that restrict the transfer or voting of, any capital stock of, or other equity or voting interest in, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of, or other equity or voting interest in, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) any obligations of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to grant, extend or enter into any subscription, warrant, right, convertible or exchangeable security or other similar agreement or commitment relating to any capital stock of, or other equity or voting interest (including any voting debt) in, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.

1.4 Closing Date Deliverables. On the Closing Date, (a) each of the Sponsor and each other Sponsor Party that holds Subject Shares shall deliver to Parent and the Company a duly executed copy of that certain Investor Rights Agreement, by and among Parent, the Company, the Sponsor, certain of the Company’s stockholders or their respective Affiliates, as applicable, and the other parties thereto, in substantially the form attached as Exhibit C to the Merger Agreement (b) each Sponsor Party shall deliver to Parent and the Company a duly executed copy of that certain Lock-Up Agreement, by and among Parent, the Company, the Sponsor, certain of the Company’s stockholders or their respective affiliates, as applicable, and the other parties thereto, in substantially the form attached as Exhibit D to the Merger Agreement.

1.5 Sponsor Agreements.

(a) From the date hereof until the Expiration Time, each Sponsor Party hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that, at any meeting of the stockholders of Parent, however called, or at any adjournment thereof, or in any other circumstance in which the vote, consent or other approval of

Each Sponsor Party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be delivered, such additional documents, and take, or cause to be taken, all such further actions and do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary (including under applicable Laws), to effect the actions required to consummate the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Merger Agreement, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein and herein, as applicable.

1.8 No Inconsistent Agreement. Each Sponsor Party hereby represents and covenants that such Sponsor Party has not entered into, and shall not enter into, any agreement that would restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of such Sponsor Party’s obligations hereunder.

1.9 Vesting and Forfeiture Provisions.

(a) No Transfer of Subject Shares. Each Sponsor Party agrees that, on the Closing Date, all of the Subject Shares (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, any other Parent Common Shares acquired or purchased by such Sponsor Party, whether pursuant to the Sponsor Backstop Subscription Agreement, or otherwise) held of record by such Sponsor Party as of the Closing shall be subject to the vesting and forfeiture provisions set forth in this Section 1.9. Each Sponsor Party agrees that it shall not directly or indirectly Transfer any Subject Shares held of record by such Sponsor Party prior to the date such Subject Shares become vested pursuant to this Section 1.9.

(b) Vesting and Forfeiture of Subject Shares.

(i) In the event (x) there are no Parent Stockholder Redemptions or (y) no Backstop Shares (as defined in the Sponsor Backstop Subscription Agreement) are purchased at the Closing pursuant to the Sponsor Backstop Subscription Agreement, the Subject Shares held of record by each Sponsor Party shall vest and no longer be subject to forfeiture as follows:

20% of such Subject Shares (i.e., 1,375,000 Subject Shares held of record in the aggregate by all Sponsor Parties at the Closing) shall vest upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event III.

(ii) In the event the Sponsor Backstop Amount is greater than zero (0), the Subject Shares held of record by each Sponsor Party shall vest or forfeit as follows:

 

  (A)

a number of such Subject Shares equal to the product of (x) 50% multiplied by (y) the quotient of (1) the Sponsor Backstop Amount divided by (2) $50,000,000, shall vest and no longer be subject to forfeiture (except pursuant to Section 1.9(b)(iii)) at the Closing (provided, that such number shall be capped at (A) 50% of the Subject Shares held of record by such Sponsor Party at the Closing and (B) 3,437,500 Subject Shares held of record in the aggregate by all Sponsor Parties at the Closing);

 

-4-


  (B)

to the extent the Parent Stockholder Redemption Amount is greater than the Sponsor Backstop Amount, (such difference, capped at a maximum amount of $200,000,000, the “Excess Amount”), a number of such Subject Shares equal to the product of (x) 50% multiplied by (y) the quotient of (1) the Excess Amount divided by (2) $200,000,000, shall not vest and shall be forfeited as of immediately prior to the Closing as provided in Section 1.9(d) below (provided, that such number shall be capped at (A) 50% of the Subject Shares held of record by such Sponsor Party at the Closing and (B) 3,437,500 Subject Shares held of record in the aggregate by all Sponsor Parties at the Closing); and

 

  (C)

with respect to any Subject Shares that do not vest in accordance with Section 1.9(b)(ii)(A) or are not forfeited in accordance with Section 1.9(b)(ii)(B) (such shares, the “Remaining Subject Shares”) shall vest and no longer be subject to forfeiture as follows:

(iii) In the event that, at the Closing, the Unpaid Parent Expenses exceed the sum of (x) the Additional Parent Cash, plus (y) $20,000,000 (the amount of such excess, the “Expenses Excess Amount”), then a number of Subject Shares in the aggregate equal to the quotient of (i) the Expenses Excess Amount divided by (ii) $10.00 (which shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction with respect to Parent Common Stock occurring prior to the Effective Time) shall be forfeited as of immediately prior to the Closing as provided in Section 1.9(d) below, with each Sponsor Party bearing its pro rata amount (based on the number of Subject Shares held of record by such Sponsor Party relative to the number of Subject Shares held of record by all the Sponsor Parties) of such forfeiture; provided, that (x) any such forfeiture shall be applied first from the Remaining Subject Shares, and the balance of such forfeiture shall be applied to the Subject Shares vested pursuant to Section 1.9(b)(ii)(A) and (y) before any such forfeiture shall be applied, the Sponsor and/or the Sponsor Parties shall be permitted to pay such Expenses Excess Amount in cash prior to or concurrently with the Closing without further liability to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (in which case, the Expenses Excess Amount shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount paid or to be paid by Sponsor and/or the Sponsor Parties prior to or concurrently with the Closing).

(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, for all purposes of this Section 1.9, (i) each Triggering Event shall only occur once, if at all and (ii) multiple Triggering Events may occur at the same time. For illustrative purposes only, in the event the Sponsor Backstop Amount is zero (0) and a Triggering Event III occurs (with no previous Triggering Event having occurred), then a Triggering Event I and Triggering Event II shall also have occurred, and 100% of each Sponsor Party’s Subject Shares shall vest upon the occurrence of such Triggering Events. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, during the Earn Out Period, there is a Change of Control, then immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control: (a) any Triggering Event that has not previously occurred shall be deemed to have occurred; and (b) all unvested Subject Shares shall vest and all Subject Shares shall be eligible to participate

 

-5-


in such Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Merger Agreement to the contrary, for all purposes of this Sponsor Agreement, the Parent Stockholder Redemption Amount shall be calculated on the basis that the amount paid with respect to each share of Parent Common Stock in connection with all Parent Stockholder Redemptions is $10.00 (which shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction with respect to Parent Common Stock occurring prior to the Effective Time). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.9 to the contrary, references to specific numbers of Subject Shares in this Section 1.9 shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction with respect to Parent Common Stock occurring from time to time.

(v) Upon the expiration of the Earn-Out Period, any Subject Shares or Remaining Subject Shares, as applicable, that have not vested as of such time shall be forfeited in accordance with Section 1.9(d).

(c) Forfeiture of Subject Warrants.

(i) The Sponsor shall forfeit 2,166,667 Subject Warrants as of immediately prior to the Closing as provided in Section 1.9(d) below. In addition, if the Excess Amount is greater than zero (0), the Sponsor shall forfeit as of immediately prior to the Closing as provided in Section 1.9(d) below a number of additional Subject Warrants equal to the product of (x) 1,500,000 multiplied by (y) the quotient of (A) the Excess Amount divided by (B) $200,000,000 (provided, that such number shall be capped at 1,500,000 of the Subject Warrants held of record by such Sponsor at the Closing). For purposes of this Agreement, “Remaining Subject Warrants” shall mean any Subject Warrants not forfeited pursuant to this Section 1.9(c)(i).

(ii) Notwithstanding the terms of the Warrant Agreement, dated December 8, 2020, among Parent and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as warrant agent (the “Sponsor Warrant Agreement”), if at any time following the Closing a Triggering Event IV occurs, then Parent shall thereafter be entitled to provide written notice to the Sponsor requiring the Sponsor to exercise not less than all of the Remaining Subject Warrants. Any such exercise shall take place within thirty (30) days of receipt of the written notice from Parent specified in the foregoing sentence and the Subject Warrants shall be exercisable for cash or on a “cashless basis” (at the election of the Sponsor) in accordance with the provisions of the Sponsor Warrant Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Triggering Event IV” means that the VWAP of Parent Class A Common Stock is, at any time following the Closing, greater than or equal to $18.00 over any twenty (20) Trading Days within any thirty (30) Trading Day period (which shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction with respect to Parent Class A Common Stock occurring on or after the Closing).

(d) Forfeiture Procedures. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.2, Subject Shares and Subject Warrants that are forfeited pursuant to this Section 1.9(d), shall, as of the applicable time, be deemed to have been automatically and irrevocably surrendered, assigned and Transferred by the applicable forfeiting Sponsor Party to Parent without any consideration for such Transfer and Parent shall cancel such shares and/or warrants without any further action or consent of such forfeiting Sponsor Party. Parent and the applicable Sponsor Party shall take all action as reasonably requested by Parent (including by executing and delivering any agreements, instruments, certificates or powers of attorney) in order to effect such forfeiture, and otherwise to reflect the assignment, Transfer and recapture of such shares by Parent, without any consideration, and to vest Parent with full right, title and possession of such shares. Each Sponsor Party agrees that Parent and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as transfer agent for the Company or warrant agent, as applicable, and any successor thereto, shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the terms of this Agreement in connection with taking any such action necessary or advisable in connection with such forfeiture, including by amending and restating the Sponsor Warrant Agreement.

 

-6-


(e) Allocation of Vesting and Forfeiture. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.9 to the contrary, in connection with any vesting or forfeiture of any Subject Shares and Subject Warrants pursuant to this Section 1.9, the Sponsor shall be entitled to allocate the amount of any such vesting or forfeiture in any manner among the Sponsor Parties provided that such allocation does not increase or reduce the aggregate amount of such Subject Shares and Subject Warrants subject to vesting or forfeiture.

(f) Voting and Dividends. Each Sponsor Party shall be entitled to vote its unvested Subject Shares and receive dividends and other distributions (whether payable in the form of cash, stock or other assets), and to have all other economic rights (including, without limitation, the right to receive any consideration payable upon conversion or exchange), in each case, with respect to such Subject Shares or Remaining Subject Shares, as applicable, while they remain unvested.

(g) Voting Letter Agreement. With effect at the Closing, the provisions in this Section 1.9 shall supersede the lock-up provisions contained in Section and 7(a) of the Voting Letter Agreement, which provisions in such letter agreement shall be of no further force or effect.

1.10 Waiver of Adjustment Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other document, agreement or contract to which a Sponsor Party is bound, but subject in all cases to the vesting and forfeiture provisions of Section 1.9, each Sponsor Party (for itself, himself or herself and for its, his or her successors, heirs, assigns and permitted transferees) hereby (but subject to the consummation of the Merger) irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to exercise or assert, any rights to adjustment or other anti-dilution protections with respect to the rate at which shares of Parent Class B Common Stock convert into shares of Parent Class A Common Stock in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and, in furtherance of the foregoing, each Sponsor Party hereby agrees and acknowledges that each share of Parent Class B Common Stock shall convert into shares of Parent Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis automatically upon the occurrence of the Effective Time, such waiver, agreement and acknowledgement constituting sufficient and necessary waiver under the terms of Parent’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Parent Charter”) to waive any and all adjustments to the Initial Conversion Ratio (as defined in the Parent Charter) in connection with, and subject to, the consummation of the Merger.

1.11 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Sections 1.2 and 1.9, each Sponsor Party may make Transfers of shares of Parent Common Stock, Parent Warrants and shares of Parent Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Parent Warrants (i) to (A) Parent’s or the Sponsor’s officers or directors, or (B) any Affiliate of such Sponsor Party, including any related investment funds or vehicles controlled or managed by the Sponsor Parties or their respective Affiliates (provided, that no Transfer pursuant to this clause (B) shall be permitted to any limited partners in such related investment funds); (ii) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family or an affiliate of such person or entity; (iii) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (iv) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, divorce settlement, divorce decree or separation agreement; (v) to a nominee or custodian of a Person to whom a Transfer would be permitted under clauses (i) through (iv) above; (vii) in connection with any bona fide mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or other grant of a security interest to one or more financial or lending institutions as collateral or security for or in connection with any bona fide loans, advances or extensions of credit or debt transaction (or enforcement thereunder) entered into by such

 

-7-


Sponsor Party or any of its Affiliates, or any refinancings thereof, and any Transfers upon foreclosure thereof; or (viii) in connection with any legal, regulatory or other order; provided, however, that in the case of the foregoing clauses (i) through (viii) the transferee must enter into a written agreement with the Company agreeing to be bound by this Agreement as a Sponsor Party prior to the effectiveness of such Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Sponsor Party shall hold any Subject Shares that have not become vested pursuant to Section 1.9 of record, in its name on the books and records of the Company’s transfer agent.

1.12 No Challenges. Each Sponsor Party agrees not to commence or join in or knowingly facilitate, assist or encourage, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective successors or directors (except in any case arising out of the fraud of willful misconduct of such parties), (a) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or (b) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of any Person in connection with the evaluation, negotiation or entry into the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit such Sponsor Party from enforcing such Sponsor Party’s rights under this Agreement and the other agreements entered into in by such Sponsor Party in connection herewith.

1.13 Affiliate Agreements. Each Sponsor Party hereby agrees and consents to the termination of the Contracts set forth on Schedule III attached hereto to which such Sponsor Party is party, effective as of the Effective Time without any further liability or obligation to Parent, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries.

3.2 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Sponsor Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Sponsor Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Sponsor Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Sponsor Agreement) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery (or, only if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, the Delaware Supreme Court or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware), and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Sponsor Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Sponsor Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Sponsor Agreement), or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such Delaware Court of Chancery (or, only if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, the Delaware Supreme Court or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware), (b) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Sponsor Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Sponsor Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Sponsor Agreement) in the Delaware Court of Chancery or in the Delaware Supreme Court or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, (c) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court and (d) agrees that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each of the parties hereto agrees that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to it at the applicable address set forth in Section 3.8 shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court.

3.3 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SPONSOR AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES IN THE

 

-10-


NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS SPONSOR AGREEMENT, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY OF THEM MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY AND THAT ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THIS SPONSOR AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

3.4 Assignment. This Sponsor Agreement and all of the provisions hereof will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Sponsor Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder will be assigned (including by operation of law) without the prior written consent of each of the parties hereto.

3.5 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Sponsor Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach or threaten to breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that the parties hereto shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Sponsor Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (i) there is adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any party seeking an order or injunction to prevent breaches or threatened breaches and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Sponsor Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

3.6 Amendment. This Sponsor Agreement may not be amended, changed, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified or terminated, except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by Parent, the Company and the Sponsor.

3.7 Severability. If any provision of this Sponsor Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Sponsor Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

[Schedule I to Sponsor Support Agreement]

Exhibit 10.2

BACKSTOP SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

This Backstop Subscription Agreement (as amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, this “Agreement”) is dated as of February 10, 2021 by and among Nebula Caravel Acquisition Corp, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”) and the persons identified on the signature page hereto under the heading “Subscriber” (the “Subscriber”). This Agreement relates to that certain Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of February 10, 2021, by and among Parent, A Place for Rover, Inc. d/b/a Rover, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Fetch Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) (as amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other transactions, Merger Sub is to merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing on as the surviving entity on the terms and conditions set forth therein (the “Merger”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.

In consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Backstop Subscription; Additional Subscription.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, in the event of any Parent Stockholder Redemption, (i) the Subscriber hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from Parent, at a purchase price equal to $10.00 per share, a number of shares of Parent A Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the lesser of (x) $50,000,000 (or such greater amount as may be determined in the sole discretion of the Subscriber), and (y) the Parent Stockholder Redemption Amount (calculated on the basis that the amount paid with respect to each share of Parent Common Stock in connection with all Parent Stockholder Redemptions is $10.00), divided by (B) $10.00 and (ii) Parent agrees to sell such number of shares of Parent A Common Stock as calculated pursuant to the immediately foregoing clause (i) to the Subscriber at such per share price as set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i) (the shares of Parent A Common Stock to be so sold, the “Backstop Shares”). Any such purchase (the “Backstop Subscription”) shall be consummated immediately prior to the Closing.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the last sentence of Section 6.19 of the Merger Agreement (including obtaining the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)), (i) the Subscriber shall, by providing written notice to Parent prior to the Effective Time, be entitled to subscribe for and purchase from Parent, up to $50,000,000 in aggregate purchase price of shares of Parent A Common Stock for a per share purchase price of $10.00 per share, and, (ii) following receipt of such written notice, Parent agrees to sell such shares of Parent Class A Common Stock to the Subscriber at such per share price (the shares of Parent A Common Stock to be so sold, collectively with the Backstop Shares, the “Subject Shares”). Any such purchase shall be consummated immediately prior to the Closing.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the $10.00 per share price referenced in Sections 1(a), 1(b) and 2(a) shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction with respect to Parent Common Stock occurring prior to the Effective Time.


2. Delivery of Subscription Amount; Acceptance of Subscriptions; Delivery. The Subscriber understands and agrees that this subscription is made subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Subscriber shall execute and deliver the Investor Questionnaire (as defined below) and, in respect of any subscription set forth in Section 1 hereof, the Subscriber shall, no later than two (2) Business Days before the anticipated Closing Date (as specified in a written notice from Parent to the Subscriber) (the “Funding Date”), cause a wire transfer to be made for payment for the Subject Shares in immediately available funds to an account specified in writing by Parent (such funds to be held by Parent in escrow until the Closing) in the amount equal to (x) $10.00 multiplied by (y) the number of Subject Shares to be purchased by the Subscriber (such amount in the aggregate, the “Subscription Amount”). If the Closing does not occur within two (2) Business Days after the anticipated Closing Date, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Parent and the Subscriber, Parent shall promptly (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the anticipated Closing Date) return the funds so delivered by the Subscriber to Parent by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Subscriber. Notwithstanding such return or cancellation (x) a failure to close on the anticipated Closing Date shall not, by itself, be deemed to be a failure of any of the conditions to Closing set forth in this Section 2 to be satisfied or waived on or prior to the Closing Date, and (y) unless and until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 6 herein, the Subscriber shall remain obligated (A) to redeliver funds to Parent in escrow following Parent’s delivery to the Subscriber of a new closing notice and (B) to consummate the Closing upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.

(b) The consummation of the subscription of the Subscriber for the Subject Shares (the “Subscription”) shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) no governmental authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any judgment, order, law, rule or regulation (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise restraining or prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and no governmental authority shall have instituted or threatened in writing a proceeding seeking to impose any such restraint or prohibition;

(ii) all conditions precedent to the closing of the Merger, including the Parent Stockholder Approval, shall have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions which, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the closing of the Merger) and there occurs the subsequent substantially simultaneous Closing.

(c) Each of Parent and the Subscriber shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or to cause to be taken, all actions reasonably required, necessary, proper or advisable to cause all conditions to consummation of the subscription for the Subject Shares to be satisfied.

3. Expenses. Expect as otherwise provided in the Merger Agreement, each party hereto shall pay all of its own expenses in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

4. Representations, Warranties, Understandings, Risk Acknowledgments, and Covenants of the Subscriber. The Subscriber hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Parent as follows:

(a) The Subscriber is purchasing the Subject Shares for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, for investment purposes and not with a view towards distribution or resale within the meaning of the Securities Act (absent the registration of the Subject Shares for resale under the Securities Act or a valid exemption from registration). The Subscriber will not sell, assign or transfer such shares or securities at any time in violation of the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Subject Shares cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.

 

2


(b) The Subscriber understands that (A) the Subject Shares (1) have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, (2) have been offered and will be sold in reliance upon an exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, (3) will be issued in reliance upon exemptions from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of state securities laws which relate to private offerings and (4) must be held at least one year from the date that the Parent files a Current Report on Form 8-K following the Closing Date that includes the “Form 10” information required under applicable SEC rules and regulations, and (B) the Subscriber must therefore bear the economic risk of its investment hereunder indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or is exempt therefrom. The Subscriber further understands that such exemptions depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent of the Subscriber expressed herein.

(c) The Subscriber has knowledge, skill and experience in financial, business and investment matters relating to an investment of this type and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such investment and protecting the Subscriber’s interest in connection with the acquisition of the Subject Shares. The Subscriber understands that the acquisition of the Subject Shares is a speculative investment and involves substantial risks and that the Subscriber could lose its entire investment. Further, the undersigned has (i) carefully read and considered the risks identified in the Disclosure Documents (as defined below) and (ii) carefully considered the risks related to the Merger, the Parent and the Company and has taken full cognizance of and understands all of the risks related to Parent, the Company, the Merger, the Subject Shares and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the purchase of the Subject Shares. the Subscriber has had the opportunity to retain, at its own expense, and relied upon, appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits and consequences of the foregoing, including, without limitation, purchasing and owning the Subject Shares. The Subscriber has the ability to bear the economic risks of the Subscriber’s investment in Parent, including a complete loss of the investment.

(d) The Subscriber has been furnished by Parent all information (or provided access to all information it reasonably requested) regarding the business and financial condition of Parent and the Company, Parent and the Company’s expected plans for future business activities, and the merits and risks of an investment in the Subject Shares which the Subscriber has reasonably requested or otherwise needs to evaluate the investment in the Subject Shares.

(e) The Subscriber is in receipt of and has carefully read and understands the following items (collectively, the “Disclosure Documents”):

(i) the final prospectus Parent in connection with its initial public offering, dated December 9, 2020, as filed with the SEC (the “Final Prospectus”);

(ii) each filing made by Parent with the SEC following the filing of the Final Prospectus;

(iii) the Merger Agreement (including any amendment thereto), a copy of which has been filed by Parent with the SEC; and

(iv) the amendments to Parent’s certificate of incorporation proposed to be voted on pursuant thereto, a copy of which is set forth as Exhibit A to the Merger Agreement.

The Subscriber acknowledges that neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates has made or makes any representation or warranty to the Subscriber in respect of Parent or the Company, the Merger, Parent upon, or relating to, the Merger, other than in the case of Parent, the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.

 

3


(f) In making its investment decision to purchase the Subject Shares, the Subscriber is relying solely on investigations made by the Subscriber and the Subscriber’s representatives. The offer to sell or assign the Subject Shares was communicated to the Subscriber in such a manner that the Subscriber was able to ask questions of and receive answers from the management of Parent concerning the terms and conditions of the proposed transaction and that at no time was the Subscriber presented with or solicited by or through any form of general or public advertising or solicitation.

(g) The Subscriber acknowledges that it has been advised that:

(i) The Subject Shares have not been approved or disapproved by the SEC or any state securities commission nor has the SEC or any state securities commission passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of any representations by Parent.

(ii) In making an investment decision, the Subscriber must rely on its own examination of Parent, the Company, the Merger, the Subject Shares and the offering of such Subject Shares, including the merits and risks involved. The Subject Shares have not been recommended by any federal or state securities commission or regulatory authority. Furthermore, the foregoing authorities have not confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of any representation.

(iii) The Subject Shares will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, pursuant to registration or exemption therefrom. The Subscriber is aware that the provisions of Rule 144 are not currently available and, in the future, may not become available for resale of any of the Subject Shares and that Parent is an issuer subject to Rule 144(i) under the Securities Act. The Subscriber is aware that it may be required to bear the financial risks of this investment for an indefinite period of time.

(h) The Subscriber further represents and warrants that it is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and such Subscriber has executed the Investor Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Investor Questionnaire”) and shall provide to Parent an updated Investor Questionnaire for any change in circumstances at any time on or prior to the Closing.

(i) As of the date of this Agreement, the Subscriber and its Affiliates do not have, and during the 30 day period prior to the date of this Agreement, the Subscriber and its Affiliates have not, in a seller, transferor or other similar capacity, entered into, any “put equivalent position” as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1 of under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or short sale positions with respect to the securities of Parent.

(j) (i) The Subscriber has the full legal right and power and all authority and approval required (a) to execute and deliver, or authorize execution and delivery of, this Agreement and all other instruments executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Subscriber in connection with the purchase of the Subject Shares, (b) to delegate authority pursuant to power of attorney and (c) to purchase and hold such Subject Shares; (ii) the signature of the party signing on behalf of the Subscriber is binding upon the Subscriber.

 

4


(k) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Subscriber and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Subscriber enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance with its terms.

(l) The Subscriber understands and confirms that Parent will rely on the representations and covenants contained herein in effecting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (as defined herein). All representations and warranties provided to Parent furnished by or on behalf of the Subscriber, taken as a whole, are true and correct and do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(m) Neither the Subscriber nor, to the extent it has them, any of its shareholders, members, managers, general or limited partners, directors, Affiliates or executive officers (collectively with such Subscriber, the “Subscriber Covered Persons”), are subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3).

(n) The Subscriber has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Subscriber Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event.

(o) The purchase of Subject Shares by the Subscriber will not subject Parent to any Disqualification Event.

(p) Waiver Against Trust. The Subscriber acknowledges that Parent is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a Business Combination.

This Agreement may not be amended, modified or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by Parent, the Subscriber, and the Company and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.19 of the Merger Agreement. This Agreement may not be waived except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of waiver is sought.

11. Binding Effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their heirs, successors and assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by and be binding upon such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and assigns. Except to the extent set forth in Sections 12(a) and 12(b), this Agreement does not confer any rights or remedies upon any person or entity other than the parties hereto and their heirs, successors and permitted assigns,.

12. Limited Recourse; Enforcement.

(a) Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered contemporaneously herewith, without limiting Parent’s obligations hereunder or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, Parent, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Subscriptions provided herein, covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no Person other than the Subscriber and its permitted successors and assigns shall have any obligation hereunder or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that, notwithstanding that the Subscriber or any of its permitted assigns may be a partnership, limited liability company or limited company, it has no rights of recovery against and no recourse hereunder or under any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith shall be had against any Non-Recourse Party (other than the Subscriber and its permitted assigns), whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any applicable Law, it being agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any Non-Recourse Party (other than the Subscriber or its permitted assigns, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement) for any obligations of the Subscriber or any of their respective successors or permitted assigns under this Agreement or any documents or instrument delivered in connection herewith or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith or for any claim (whether at law or equity or in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. The Non-Recourse Parties are hereby made third party beneficiaries of this Section 12(a) and may rely on and enforce the provisions of this Section 12(b). As used herein, the term “Non-Recourse Parties” means, collectively, the Subscriber and any and all former, current or future direct or indirect equityholders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, members, managers, management companies, general or limited partners, assignees or Affiliates of the Subscriber and any and all former, current or future direct or indirect equityholders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, members, managers, management companies, general or limited partners, assignees or Affiliates of any of the foregoing, and any and all former, current or future heirs, executors, administrators, trustees, successors or assigns of any of the foregoing, in each case other than Parent and its Subsidiaries.

 

9


(b) The Company is hereby made an intended third party beneficiary of the rights granted to Parent hereby solely for the purpose of directly enforcing the obligations of Parent and the Subscriber under this Agreement through an action for specific performance and, in connection therewith, the Company has the right to seek and the right to obtain an injunction, or other appropriate form of specific performance or equitable relief, to cause Parent to cause, or to directly cause, Subscriber to consummate, directly or indirectly, the Backstop Subscription as, solely to the extent that Parent is permitted to enforce the Backstop Subscription pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof and for no other purpose (including, without limitation, any claim for monetary damages hereunder or thereunder).

13. Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur if the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach or threaten to breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that the parties hereto shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (i) there is adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any party seeking an order or injunction to prevent breaches or threatened breaches and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

14. Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of Parent and the Subscriber relating to the matters contained herein, superseding all prior contracts or agreements, whether oral or written. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

15. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery (or, only if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, the Delaware Supreme Court or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware), and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement), or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such Delaware Court of Chancery (or, only if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, the Delaware Supreme Court or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware), (b) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement) in the Delaware Court of Chancery or in the Delaware Supreme Court or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, (c) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court and (d) agrees that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each of the parties hereto agrees that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to it at the applicable address set forth in Section 8 shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court.

16. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES IN THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY OF THEM MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY AND THAT ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

17. Severability. This Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or of any other term or provision hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible that is valid and enforceable.

18. Construction. The headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience and identification only and are not intended to describe, interpret, define, or limit the scope, extent or intent of this Agreement or any provision hereof. The rule of construction that an agreement shall be construed strictly against the drafter shall not apply to this Agreement.

19. Further Assurances. From time to time, at another party’s request and without further consideration (but at the requesting party’s reasonable cost and expense), each party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

20. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (any of which may be delivered by electronic transmission), each of which shall constitute an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

21. Interpretation. The headings, titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (i) any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa; (ii) “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting the generality of any description preceding or succeeding such term and shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (iii) the words “herein,” “hereto,” and “hereby” and other words of similar import in this Agreement shall be deemed in each case to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or other subdivision of this Agreement; and (iv) the term “Dollars” or “$” means United States dollars. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. Consequently, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

(d) Litigation. There are no Actions pending against such Company Stockholder, or to the knowledge of such Company Stockholder threatened against such Company Stockholder, before (or, in the case of threatened Actions, that would be before) any arbitrator or any Governmental Authority, which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Company Stockholder of its, his or her obligations under this Agreement.

Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery (or, only if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, the Delaware Supreme Court or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware), and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement), or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such Delaware Court of Chancery (or, only if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, the Delaware Supreme Court or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware), (b) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement) in the Delaware Court of Chancery or in the Delaware Supreme Court or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, (c) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court and (d) agrees that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each of the parties hereto agrees that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to it at the applicable address set forth in Section 3.8 shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court.

3.3 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES IN THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY OF THEM MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY AND THAT ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

3.4 Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns.

3.5 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach or threaten to breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that the parties hereto shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (a) there is adequate remedy at law or (b) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any party seeking an order or injunction to prevent breaches or threatened breaches and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

3.6 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, changed, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified or terminated, except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by Parent, the Company and the Company Stockholders.

FORM OF SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Nebula Caravel Acquisition Corp.

Four Embarcadero Center, Suite 2100

San Francisco, California 94111

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with the proposed business combination (the “Transaction”) between Nebula Caravel Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and A Place for Rover, Inc. d/b/a “Rover”, a Delaware corporation (“Rover”), which is expected to result in a business combination between the Company and Rover, pursuant to which the Company will directly or indirectly acquire 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Rover pursuant to the Transaction Agreement (defined below), the undersigned desires to subscribe for and purchase from the Company, and the Company desires to sell to the undersigned, that number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), upon consummation of the Transaction, set forth on the signature page hereof for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Purchase Price”), on the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein. In connection therewith, the undersigned, Rover and the Company agree as follows:

1.    Subscription. The undersigned hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company such number of shares of Common Stock as is set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for herein (the “Shares”). The undersigned understands and agrees that the Company reserves the right to accept or reject the undersigned’s subscription for the Shares for any reason or for no reason, in whole or in part, at any time prior to its acceptance by the Company, and the same shall be deemed to be accepted by the Company only when this Subscription Agreement is signed by a duly authorized person by or on behalf of the Company; the Company may do so in counterpart form. In the event of rejection of the entire subscription by the Company or the termination of this subscription in accordance with the terms hereof, the undersigned’s payment hereunder will be returned promptly (but not later than two (2) business days thereafter) to the undersigned along with this Subscription Agreement, and this Subscription Agreement shall have no force or effect.

2.    Closing. The closing of the sale of the Shares contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction. The Closing shall occur on the date of, and immediately prior to, the consummation of the Transaction. Following written notice from (or on behalf of) the Company to the undersigned (the “Closing Notice”) that the Company reasonably expects (i) all conditions to the closing of the Transaction to be satisfied or waived and (ii) the Closing to occur on a date that is not less than five (5) business days from the date of the Closing Notice, the undersigned shall deliver to the Company, at least two (2) business days prior to the anticipated Closing date specified in the Closing Notice (the “Closing Date”), or such other time agreed to between the Company and the undersigned, the subscription amount for the Shares by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company in the Closing Notice against delivery to the undersigned of the Shares in book entry form as set forth in the following sentence. The Company shall deliver (or cause the delivery of) (i) the Shares in book entry form to the undersigned (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) or to a custodian


designated by undersigned, as applicable, as indicated below and (ii) written evidence from the Company’s transfer agent reflecting the issuance of such Shares on and as of the Closing Date. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, without any liability to either party hereto, if the Company notifies the undersigned in writing that it has abandoned its plans to move forward with the Transaction. If this Subscription Agreement terminates following the delivery by the undersigned of the purchase price for the Shares, the Company shall promptly (but not later than two (2) business days thereafter) return the purchase price to the undersigned.

3.    Closing Conditions. The Closing is also subject to the conditions that, on the Closing Date:

a.    all representations and warranties of the Company and the undersigned contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect (as defined herein), which representations and warranties shall be true in all respects) at and as of the Closing Date, and consummation of the Closing shall constitute a reaffirmation by each of the Company and the undersigned of each of the representations, warranties and agreements of each such party contained in this Subscription Agreement as of the Closing Date, but in each case without giving effect to consummation of the Transaction;

b.    the Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to the Closing;

c.    no governmental authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any judgment, order, law, rule or regulation (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise restraining or prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and no governmental authority shall have instituted or threatened in writing a proceeding seeking to impose any such restraint or prohibition;

d.    the Company’s supplemental listing application with the Nasdaq Capital Market in connection with the Transaction shall have been approved and, immediately following the Closing, the Company shall satisfy any applicable initial and continuing listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market and the Company shall not have received any notice of non-compliance therewith, and the Shares, shall have been approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market;

e.    all conditions precedent to the closing of the Transaction, including the approval of the Company’s stockholders, shall have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions which, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the closing of the Transaction); and

7.    Registration Rights.

a.    If the offer and sale of the Shares are not registered in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, the Company agrees that, within forty-five (45) calendar days after the consummation of the Transaction (the “Filing Date”), the Company will file with the Commission (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the Shares, and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 90th calendar day (or 120th calendar day if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Closing and (ii) the 10th business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”); provided, that the Company’s obligations to include the Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the undersigned furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the undersigned, the securities of the Company held by the undersigned and the intended method of disposition of the Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations; provided, further, that the undersigned shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or would otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Shares. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide a draft of the Registration Statement to the undersigned for review at least five (5) business days in advance of filing the Registration Statement. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Company to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Date or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 7.

 

10


b.    In the case of the registration, qualification, exemption or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform the undersigned as to the status of such registration, qualification, exemption and compliance. At its expense the Company shall:

 

  i.

except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Company determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to the undersigned, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (i) the undersigned ceases to hold any Shares, (ii) the date all Shares held by the undersigned may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), and (iii) three years from the Effective Date of the Registration Statement;

 

  ii.

advise the undersigned within five (5) business days: (1) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; (2) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information; (3) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; (4) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (5) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company shall not, when so advising the undersigned of such events, provide the undersigned with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company other than to the extent that providing notice to the undersigned of the occurrence of the events listed in (1) through (5) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Company;

 

  iii.

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

 

11


  iv.

upon the occurrence of any event contemplated above, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

 

  v.

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

 

  vi.

use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Shares contemplated hereby and to enable the undersigned to sell the Shares under Rule 144; and

 

  vii.

cause the Company’s transfer agent to remove the restrictive legend on the Shares, at the undersigned’s request, when the Shares are sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or the Registration Statement. In connection therewith, if required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company will promptly cause an opinion of counsel to be delivered to and maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent that authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Shares without any such legend.

 

  c.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require the undersigned not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event the Company’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Company in the Registration Statement of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Company’s board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Company may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than three occasions or for more than ninety (90) consecutive calendar days, or more than one hundred and eighty (180) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of

 

12


  any written notice from the Company of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, the undersigned agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until the undersigned receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Company, the undersigned will deliver to the Company or, in the undersigned’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares in the undersigned’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent the undersigned is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

 

  d.

The undersigned may deliver written notice (including via email in accordance with this Subscription Agreement) (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company requesting that the undersigned not receive notices from the Company otherwise required by this Section 7; provided, however, that the undersigned may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from the undersigned (unless subsequently revoked), the Company shall not deliver any such notices to the undersigned and the undersigned shall no longer be entitled to the rights contemplated by this Section 7.

 

  e.

  i.

the Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law the undersigned, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the undersigned, if any, (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement or prospectus included in any Registration Statement 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, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by the undersigned expressly for use therein.

 

13


  ii.

In connection with any Registration Statement in which the undersigned is participating, the undersigned shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any 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 statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by the undersigned expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the liability of the undersigned shall be several and not joint and shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received from the sale of Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement.

 

  iii.

Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (1) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (2) 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). An indemnifying party who elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one (1) counsel 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. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

  iv.

the indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

 

14


  Each party participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event such party’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

 

  v.

If the indemnification provided under this Section 7(f) from the indemnifying party is unavailable to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 7(e)(i), (ii) and (iii) above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7(f) from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

8.    Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (a) following the execution of a definitive agreement among the Company, the Company and Rover with respect to the Transaction (a “Transaction Agreement”), such date and time as such Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms without the Transaction being consummated, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement; (c) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 3 of this Subscription Agreement are not satisfied or waived on or prior to the Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated at the Closing; or (d) December 31, 2021 in the event the Transaction has not occurred by such time; provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach. The Company shall promptly notify the undersigned of the termination of the Transaction Agreement after the termination of such agreement.

For and in consideration of the Company entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind it has or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9 shall be deemed to limit any of the undersigned’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of the undersigned’s record or beneficial ownership of securities of the Company acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

10.    Miscellaneous.

a.    Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the undersigned hereunder may be transferred or assigned except that after the Closing, any Shares acquired hereunder and any rights of the undersigned pursuant to Section 7 or 8 hereof may be transferred to an affiliate of the undersigned; provided, that such assignee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Subscription Agreement.

b.    The Company may request from the undersigned such additional information as the Company may deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of the undersigned to acquire the Shares, and the undersigned shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested, to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with its internal policies and procedures.

c.    The undersigned acknowledges that the Company, Rover, the Placement Agents and others will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, the undersigned agrees to promptly notify the Company if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties set forth herein are no longer accurate. The undersigned agrees that each purchase by the undersigned of Shares from the Company will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein (as modified by any such notice) by the undersigned as of the time of such purchase. The undersigned further acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agents are third-party beneficiaries of the representations and warranties of the undersigned contained in Section 6 of this Subscription Agreement.

d.    The Company is entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

 

16


e.    All the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.

f.    This Subscription Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such modification, waiver, or termination is sought.

g.    This Subscription Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in subsection (f) of Section 7 and subsection (c) and (k) of this Section 10, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successor and assigns.

i.    If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

j.    The undersigned consents to receipt of this Subscription Agreement in electronic form and understand and agree that this Subscription Agreement may be signed electronically. If any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, electronic mail, or otherwise by electronic transmission evidencing an intent to sign this Subscription Agreement (including any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com), such facsimile transmission, electronic mail or other electronic transmission shall create a valid and binding obligation of the undersigned with the same force and effect as if such signature were an original. Execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement by facsimile transmission, electronic mail or other electronic transmission is legal, valid and binding for all purposes. This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.

we will execute and deliver within the applicable time periods all documentation as may be required by applicable Canadian securities laws to permit the purchase of the Shares on the terms set forth herein and, if required by applicable Canadian securities laws, will execute, deliver and file or assist the Company in obtaining and filing such reports, undertakings and other documents relating to the purchase of the Shares as may be required by any applicable Canadian securities laws, securities regulator, stock exchange or other regulatory authority; and

The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible after filing, and once effective, to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act at all times until the expiration of the Effectiveness Period.

2.1.2 Notification and Distribution of Materials. The Company shall notify the Investors in writing of the effectiveness of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and shall furnish to them, without charge, such number of copies of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement (including any amendments, supplements and exhibits), the Prospectus contained therein (including each preliminary prospectus and all related amendments and supplements) and any documents incorporated by reference in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or such other documents as the Investors may reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale of the Registrable Securities in the manner described in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement.

In the event the Company amends the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by the Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company 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.

2.1.6 Selection of Underwriters.

If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Demand Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company and the Demanding Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Registrable Securities which the Demanding Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other Common Stock or other securities which the Company desires to sell and the Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by other stockholders of the Company who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Shares”), then the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, the Registrable Securities as to which Demand Registration has been requested by the Demanding Holders (pro rata in accordance with the number of shares that each such person has requested be included in such registration, regardless of the number of shares held by each such person (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Common Stock or other securities for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons, as to which “piggy-back” registration has been requested by the holders thereof, Pro Rata, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.

2.2.5 Withdrawal. If a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders disapprove of the terms of any underwriting or are not entitled to include all of their Registrable Securities in any offering, such majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders may elect to withdraw from such offering by giving written notice to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters of their request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration. If the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders withdraws from a proposed offering relating to a Demand Registration, then either the Demanding Holders shall reimburse the Company for the costs associated with the withdrawn registration (in which case such registration shall not count as a Demand Registration provided for in Section 2.1) or the withdrawn registration shall count as a Demand Registration provided for in Section 2.1.

2.3 Piggy-Back Registration.

2.3.1 Piggy-Back Rights. If the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by the Company for its own account or for stockholders of the Company for their account (or by the Company and by stockholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1), other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing stockholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company, (iv) filed on Form S-4 related to any merger, acquisition or business combination, (v) for a dividend reinvestment plan or (vi) filed in connection with a Block Trade by one or more holders of Registrable Securities in accordance with Section 2.1.8, then the Company shall (x) give written notice of such proposed filing to the holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and

 

10


the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, of the offering, and (y) offer to the holders of Registrable Securities in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of shares of Registrable Securities as such holders may request in writing within five (5) days following receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). The Company shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggy-Back Registration and shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All holders of Registrable Securities proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an Underwriter or Underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration.

2.3.2 Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Piggy-Back Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities in writing that the dollar amount or number of Common Stock which the Company desires to sell, taken together with Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been demanded pursuant to written contractual arrangements with persons other than the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder and the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested under this Section 2.3, exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, then the Company shall include in any such registration:

(a) If the Registration is undertaken for the Company’s account: (A) first, the Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Common Stock or other securities, if any, comprised of Registrable Securities, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the terms hereof, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares, Pro Rata; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Common Stock or other securities for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and

(b) If the registration is a “demand” registration undertaken at the demand of persons other than either the holders of Registrable Securities, (A) first, the Common Stock or other securities for the account of the demanding persons that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Common Stock or other securities, if any, comprised of Registrable Securities, Pro Rata, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the terms hereof, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the Common Stock or other securities for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.

2.3.3 Withdrawal. Any holder of Registrable Securities may elect to withdraw such holder’s request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration by giving written notice to the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The Company (whether on its own determination or as the result of a withdrawal by persons making a demand pursuant to written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred by the holders of Registrable Securities in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration as provided in Section 3.3.

 

11


2.3.4 Unlimited Piggy-Back Rights. For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration effected under Section 2.2 hereof, and there shall be no limit on the number of Piggy-Back Registrations.

3. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES.

3.1 Filings; Information. Whenever the Company is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2 or an underwritten Block Trade, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof as expeditiously as practicable, and in connection with any such request:

3.1.1 Filing Registration Statement. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to, as expeditiously as possible after receipt of a request for a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.2, prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on any form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of all Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and use its reasonable best efforts to keep it effective for the Effectiveness Period; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to defer any Demand Registration for up to sixty (60) days, and any Piggy-Back Registration for such period as may be applicable to deferment of any Demand Registration to which such Piggy-Back Registration relates, in each case if the Company shall furnish to the holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Registration Statement to be effected at such time; provided, however, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days; provided, however, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than twice in any 12-month period.

3.1.2 Copies. The Company shall, prior to filing a Registration Statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration, and such holders’ legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus), and such other documents as the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration or legal counsel for any such holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such holders.

3.1.3 Amendments and Supplements. The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or such securities have been withdrawn (the “Effectiveness Period”).

 

12


3.1.4 Notification. After the filing of a Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly, and in no event more than two (2) Business Days after such filing, notify the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement of such filing, and shall further notify such holders promptly and confirm such advice in writing in all events within two (2) Business Days of the occurrence of any of the following: (i) when such Registration Statement becomes effective; (ii) when any post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement becomes effective; (iii) the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission of any stop order (and the Company shall take all actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered); and (iv) any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or any prospectus relating thereto or for additional information or of the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the securities covered by such Registration Statement, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and promptly make available to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement any such supplement or amendment; except that before filing with the Commission a Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference, the Company shall furnish to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement and to the legal counsel for any such holders, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed sufficiently in advance of filing to provide such holders and legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and comment thereon.

3.1.5 Securities Laws Compliance. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may reasonably request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph or subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction.

3.1.6 Agreements for Disposition. The Company shall enter into customary agreements (including, if applicable, an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Company in any underwriting agreement which are made to or for the benefit of any Underwriters, to the extent applicable, shall also be made to and for the benefit of the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement, and the representations, warranties and covenants of the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement in any underwriting agreement which are made to or for the benefit of any Underwriters, to the extent applicable, shall also be made to and for the benefit of the Company.

3.1.7 Comfort Letter. The Company shall obtain a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an underwritten offering, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating holders.

 

13


3.1.8 Opinions. On the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to any Registration, the Company shall obtain an opinion, dated such date, of one (1) counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the holders, the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the holders, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the participating holders.

3.1.9 Cooperation. The principal executive officer of the Company, the principal financial officer of the Company, the principal accounting officer of the Company and all other officers and members of the management of the Company shall cooperate fully in any offering of Registrable Securities hereunder, which cooperation shall include, without limitation, the preparation of the Registration Statement with respect to such offering and all other offering materials and related documents, and participation in meetings with Underwriters, attorneys, accountants and potential investors.

3.1.10 Records. Upon execution of confidentiality agreements, the Company shall make available for inspection by the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, any Underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement or any Underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, as shall be necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information requested by any of them in connection with such Registration Statement.

3.1.11 Earnings Statement.

3.1.12 Listing.

In connection with any underwritten offering of equity securities of the Company (other than a Block Trade) in which a Holder participates, such Holder agrees that it shall not Transfer any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company (other than those included in such offering pursuant to this Agreement), without the prior written consent of the Company, during the ninety (90)-day period (or such shorter time agreed to by the managing Underwriters) beginning on the date of pricing of such offering, except as expressly permitted by such lock-up agreement or in the event the managing Underwriters otherwise agree by written consent. Each Holder agrees to execute a customary lock-up agreement in favor of the Underwriters to such effect (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all such Holders); provided, that such agreement shall not be materially more restrictive than any similar agreement entered into by the directors and executive officers of the Company participating in such underwritten offering; provided, further, that such agreement shall provide that any early release of any Holder from the provisions of the terms of such agreement shall be on a pro rata basis among all Holders.

3.2 Obligation to Suspend Distribution. Upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3.1.4, or, upon any suspension by the Company, pursuant to a written insider trading compliance program adopted by the Board, of the ability of all “insiders” covered by such program to transact in the Company’s securities because of the existence of material non-public information, each holder of Registrable Securities included in any registration shall immediately discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such holder receives the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3.1.4 or the restriction on the ability of “insiders” to transact in the Company’s securities is removed, as applicable, and, if so directed by the Company, each such holder will deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such holder’s possession, of the most recent prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice.

Except as set forth in Section 2.2.5, the Company shall bear all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Resale Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.1, any Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1, any Demand Takedown pursuant to Section 2.1.5(a)(i), any Piggy-Back Registration pursuant to Section 2.3, and any registration on Form S-3 effected pursuant to Section 2.3, and all expenses incurred in performing or complying with its other obligations under this Agreement, whether or not the Registration Statement becomes effective, including, without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees; (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with securities or “blue sky” laws (including fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities); (iii) printing expenses; (iv) the Company’s internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees); (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities as required by Section 3.1.12; (vi) Financial Industry Regulatory Authority fees; (vii) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and fees and expenses for independent certified public accountants retained by the Company; (viii) the fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in connection with such registration and (ix) the fees and expenses of one legal counsel selected by the holders of a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities included in such registration. The Company shall have no obligation to pay any underwriting discounts or selling commissions attributable to the Registrable Securities being sold by the holders thereof, which underwriting discounts or selling commissions shall be borne by such holders. Additionally, in an underwritten offering, all selling stockholders and the Company shall bear the expenses of the Underwriter pro rata in proportion to the respective amount of shares each is selling in such offering.

3.4 Information. The holders of Registrable Securities shall promptly provide such information as may reasonably be requested by the Company, or the managing Underwriter, if any, in connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement, including amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act and in connection with the Company’s obligation to comply with Federal and applicable state securities laws.

4. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.

4.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and each other holder of Registrable Securities, and each of their respective officers, employees, affiliates, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents, and each person, if any, who controls an Investor and each other holder of Registrable Securities (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each, an “Investor Indemnified Party”), from and against any expenses, losses, judgments, claims, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or allegedly untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, or arising out of or based upon any omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or

 

15


inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration; and the Company shall promptly reimburse the Investor Indemnified Party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Investor Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending any such expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing, by such selling holder expressly for use therein, or is based on any selling holder’s violation of the federal securities laws (including Regulation M) or failure to sell the Registrable Securities in accordance with the plan of distribution contained in the prospectus.

4.2 Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each selling holder of Registrable Securities will, in the event that any registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held by such selling holder, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers, and each other selling holder and each other person, if any, who controls another selling holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, insofar as such losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such selling holder expressly for use therein, or is based on any selling holder’s violation of the federal securities laws (including Regulation M) or failure to sell the Registrable Securities in accordance with the plan of distribution contained in the prospectus, and shall reimburse the Company, its directors and officers, and each other selling holder or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigation or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Each selling holder’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received by such selling holder.

4.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Sections 4.1 or 4.2, such person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more

 

16


than one such separate counsel, which counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.

4.4 Contribution.

4.4.1 If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then each such 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 loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

4.4.2 The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding Section 4.4.1.

4.4.3 The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities which gave rise to such contribution obligation. 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.

5. UNDERWRITING AND DISTRIBUTION.

5.1 Rule 144. The Company covenants that it shall file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action as the holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission.

6. GOVERNANCE

6.1 Board of Directors.

6.1.1 Sponsor Representation. If and only if the Company sells Backstop Shares pursuant to the Backstop Subscription Agreement with an aggregate purchase price of at least $15 million, then, following the Effective Time and until such time as the Sponsor Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 25% of the sum of (x) 6,875,000 and (y) the number of Backstop Shares purchased by the Sponsor Parties (which shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction with respect to shares of Common Stock prior to such time) (the “Minimum Ownership Threshold”), the Company shall take all Necessary Action such that one (1) individual designated by the Sponsor (the “Sponsor Director”) is included in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board or duly constituted committee thereof for election as directors at each applicable annual of the Company at which the Sponsor Director’s term would expire, and shall use the level of efforts and provide the same level of support with respect to the election of the Sponsor Director at any such meeting of stockholders as is used and/or provided for the election of the other director nominees of the Company at such meeting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, the nomination procedures in Section 2.4 of the Bylaws shall not apply to the Sponsor Director, who shall instead be designated by the Sponsor in a written notice delivered to the Company. The initial Sponsor Director is Adam Clammer, and shall be added to the Board pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 6.12(a)(I) of the Business Combination Agreement. The Sponsor shall only designate a person to be a Sponsor Director (i) who the Sponsor believes in good faith has the requisite skill and experience to serve as a director of a publicly-traded company and (ii) who is not prohibited from or disqualified from serving as a director of the Company pursuant to any rule or regulation of the Commission, Nasdaq or applicable law and (iii) with respect to which no event required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act has occurred. In the event that the Board objects to the nomination for election of any Sponsor Director to the Board pursuant to the terms of this Section 6, and such Sponsor Director in fact fails to meet the criteria set forth above, the Board shall nominate or appoint, as applicable, another individual designated by the Sponsor that meets the criteria set forth in this Section 6. The Company’s obligations pursuant to Section 6.1.1 shall be subject to the Sponsor Director providing (i) any information that is reasonably required to be disclosed in any filing, report or disclosure under any rule or regulation of the Commission, Nasdaq or applicable law, (ii) any information that is reasonably required in connection with determining that the Sponsor Director is or would be an Independent Director, and (iii) if required by applicable law, such individual’s written consent to being named in a proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as director if elected. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer any third-party beneficiary or other rights upon any person designated hereunder as a Sponsor Director, whether during or after such person’s service on the Board. If the Company does not sell Backstop Shares with an aggregate purchase price of at least $15 million, this Section 6 shall have no force or effect.

6.1.2 Decrease in Directors. Upon such time as the Sponsor Parties in the aggregate no longer meet the Minimum Ownership Threshold, the Sponsor shall promptly notify the Company and, if requested by the Board in writing, the Sponsor Parties shall take all Necessary Action to cause the Sponsor Director to resign from the Board and any committee thereof as soon as practicable and in any event within ten (10) days following the date on which the Sponsor receives such request in writing. Upon such time as the Sponsor Parties, in the aggregate, no longer meet the Minimum Ownership Threshold, the Sponsor’s right to designate an individual for nomination for election or appointment under Section 6.1.1 or Section 6.1.3 shall thereafter be of no further force or effect (even if the Sponsor or its Affiliates shall subsequently acquire additional shares of Common Stock). In addition, the Sponsor Parties shall take all Necessary Action to cause the Sponsor Director to resign from the Board and any committee thereof if such Sponsor Director, as determined by the Board in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel, is (i) prohibited or disqualified from serving as a director of the Company or a member of any such committees under any rule or regulation of the Commission, Nasdaq or by applicable law or (ii) in material violation of the Company’s then-current code of ethics.

6.1.3 Removal; Vacancies. Until such time as the Sponsor Parties in the aggregate no longer meet the Minimum Ownership Threshold, the Sponsor shall have the exclusive right to designate a director for election or appointment, as applicable, to the Board to fill a vacancy created by reason of death, removal or resignation of its nominee to the Board, and the Company shall take all Necessary Action to nominate or cause the Board to appoint, as applicable, a replacement director designated by the Sponsor to fill any such vacancy as promptly as practicable after such designation. Each Investor agrees not to take action to remove any director nominee of the Sponsor from office unless such removal is for cause or if the Sponsor is no longer entitled to nominate such director pursuant to this Section 6.

6.1.4 Reimbursement of Expenses; Indemnification; Amendments. For so long as any Sponsor Director serves as a director of the Company, (i) the Company shall provide such Sponsor Director with the same expense reimbursement, benefits, indemnity, exculpation and other arrangements provided to the other directors of the Company; provided that is expressly understood that the Sponsor Director shall not receive any cash or equity compensation that is paid or payable to directors and (ii) the Company shall not following the Effective Time amend, alter, repeal or waive (x) any right to indemnification or exculpation covering or benefiting any Sponsor Director nominated pursuant to this Agreement as and to the extent consistent with applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws and any indemnification agreements with directors (whether such right is contained in the Organizational Documents or another document) (except to the extent such amendment or alteration does not adversely affect the right to indemnification or exculpation covering or benefiting any Sponsor Director), (y) any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws if the purpose of such amendment, alteration, repeal or waiver is to adversely affects the rights or obligations of the Sponsor or the Sponsor Director pursuant to this Section 6, or (z) the Lock-up (as defined in the Bylaws) obligations set forth in Section 6.2 of the Bylaws.

6.2 Company Cooperation; Policies. The Sponsor acknowledges that, subject to Sections 6.3 and 6.4, the Sponsor Director and its affiliates, if applicable, will be subject to all applicable corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and insider trading policies and guidelines of the Company, each as approved by the Board from time to time to the extent such policies and guidelines are applicable to all non-executive directors. For so long as the Sponsor Director is serving or participating on the Board, (i) any share ownership requirement for the Sponsor Director serving on the Board will be deemed satisfied by the securities owned by the Sponsor Parties and under no circumstances shall any of such policies, procedures, processes, codes, rules, standards and guidelines impose any restrictions on the transfers of securities by the Sponsor Parties and (ii) under no circumstances shall any policy, procedure, code, rule, standard or guideline applicable to the Board be violated by the Sponsor Director (x) accepting an invitation to serve on another board of directors of a company whose principal lines(s) of business do not compete with the principal line(s) of business of the Company or failing to notify an officer or director of the Company prior to doing so, or (y) receiving compensation from the Sponsor or its affiliates, and, in each case of (i) and (ii), it is agreed that any such policies in effect from time to time that purport to impose terms inconsistent with this Section 6.2 shall not apply to the Sponsor or Sponsor Director to the extent inconsistent with this Section 6.2.

6.3 Sharing of Information. To the extent permitted by antitrust, competition or any other applicable law, each of the Company and the Investors agrees and acknowledges that the Sponsor Director may share confidential, non-public information about the Company and its subsidiaries (“Confidential Information”) with the Sponsor solely for the purposes of assisting the Sponsor Director

 

19


in his or her role as a director of the Company or for monitoring and evaluating the Sponsor’s or its affiliates’ investment in the Company (the “Permitted Use”); provided, however, that the Sponsor acknowledges and agrees the disclosure of any Confidential Information by the Sponsor Director will be subject in all cases to his or her fiduciary duties to the Company and applicable corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and insider trading policies and guidelines of the Company, and accordingly, the Sponsor Director will not be permitted to disclose to the Sponsor (or any other person) any legal advice provided by external or internal counsel to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, without the consent of the Company’s General Counsel; provided, that any such advice may be disclosed if such disclosure is made in a manner that would not result in the loss of any attorney-client privilege. The Sponsor recognizes that it, or its affiliates and representatives, has acquired or will acquire Confidential Information the use or disclosure of which could cause the Company substantial loss and damages that could not be readily calculated and for which no remedy at law would be adequate. Accordingly, the Sponsor covenants and agrees (i) that it, and its affiliates and representatives, will use the Confidential Information only in furtherance of the Permitted Use and (ii) that it, and its affiliates and representatives, will not (and will cause its respective controlled affiliates and representatives not to) at any time, except with the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly disclose any Confidential Information known to it to any third party, unless in the case of the foregoing clause (ii) (A) such information becomes known to the public through no fault of the Sponsor, its affiliates or representatives, (B) disclosure is required by applicable law (including any filing following the Closing with the Commission pursuant to applicable securities laws) or court of competent jurisdiction or requested by a governmental or regulatory authority; provided, that (other than in the case of any required filing following the Closing with the Commission or in connection with any routine audit or examination as described below) the Sponsor promptly notifies the Company of such requirement or request and takes reasonable efforts to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure, (C) such information was available or becomes available to the Sponsor before, on or after the Closing, without restriction, from a source (other than the Company) without any breach of obligation of confidentiality to the Company or (D) such information was independently developed by the Sponsor, its affiliates or its representatives without the use of the Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Sponsor from disclosing Confidential Information (x) to any affiliate or representative of the Sponsor in connection with the Permitted Use, provided, that such person shall be bound by an obligation of confidentiality with respect to such Confidential Information and the Sponsor shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 6.3 by any such person or (y) if such disclosure is made to a governmental or regulatory authority with jurisdiction over the Sponsor in connection with a routine audit or examination that is not specifically directed at the Company or the Confidential Information, provided, that the Sponsor shall request that confidential treatment be accorded to any information so disclosed. No Confidential Information shall be deemed to be provided to any person, including any affiliate of the Sponsor unless such Confidential Information is actually provided to such person. The Sponsor further acknowledges, on behalf of itself, its affiliates and representatives, that the Confidential Information may contain material non-public information under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws, and that each such Person is aware of its obligations thereunder and will evaluate the Confidential Information it may receive consistent with such obligations.

6.4 Other Business Opportunities.

6.4.1 The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) the Sponsor (including (A) its affiliates, (B) any portfolio company in which it or any of its affiliates or investment fund affiliates have made a debt or equity investment (and vice versa) or (C) any of their respective limited partners, non-managing members or other similar direct or indirect investors) and the director nominees of the foregoing have the right to, and shall have no duty (fiduciary, contractual or otherwise) not to, directly or indirectly engage in and possess interests in other business ventures of every type and description, including those engaged in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company or any of its subsidiaries or deemed to be competing with the Company

 

20


or any of its subsidiaries, on its own account, or in partnership with, or as an employee, officer, director or shareholder of any other person, with no obligation to offer to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any other Investor or holder of capital stock of the Company the right to participate therein; (ii) the Sponsor (including (A) its affiliates, (B) any portfolio company in which it or any of its affiliates or investment fund affiliates have made a debt or equity investment (and vice versa) or (C) any of their respective limited partners, non-managing members or other similar direct or indirect investors) and the director nominees of the foregoing may invest in, or provide services to, any person that directly or indirectly competes with the Company or any of its subsidiaries; and (iii) in the event that the Sponsor (including (A) its affiliates, (B) any portfolio company in which it or any of its affiliates or investment fund affiliates have made a debt or equity investment (and vice versa) or (C) any of their respective limited partners, non-managing members or other similar direct or indirect investors) or any director nominee of the foregoing, respectively, acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter (unless, with respect to any such director nominee, such transaction or matter is expressly presented to such director nominee in writing and solely in such person’s capacity as a director of the Company) that may be a corporate or other business opportunity for the Company or any of its subsidiaries, such person shall have no duty (fiduciary, contractual or otherwise) to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any other Investor or holder of capital stock of the Company, as the case may be, and, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shall not be liable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any other Investor or holder of capital stock of the Company (or its respective affiliates) for breach of any duty (fiduciary, contractual or otherwise) by reason of the fact that such person, directly or indirectly, pursues or acquires such opportunity for itself, directs such opportunity to another person or does not present such opportunity to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any other Investor or holder of capital stock of the Company (or its respective affiliates). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that this paragraph is intended to disclaim and renounce, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries with respect to the matters set forth herein, and this paragraph shall be construed to effect such disclaimer and renunciation to the fullest extent permitted by law.

6.4.2 Each of the parties hereto agrees that the waivers, limitations, acknowledgments and agreements set forth in this Section 6.4 shall not apply to any alleged claim or cause of action against any of the Sponsor based upon the breach or nonperformance by such person of this Agreement or any other agreement to which such person is a party.

6.4.3 The provisions of this Section 6.4, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of any of the Sponsor or its affiliates or any director nominee of the foregoing otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the parties to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Sponsor or any of its affiliates or any director nominee of the foregoing to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

6.5 Application of Provisions to Certain Company Stockholders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Persons set forth on Schedule II shall not be subject to this Section 6 and, accordingly, shall have no rights or obligations under this Section 6.

7. MISCELLANEOUS.

7.1 Other Registration Rights and Arrangements. The Company represents and warrants that no person, other than a holder of the Registrable Securities, has any right to require the Company to register any of the Company’s capital stock for sale or to include the Company’s capital stock in any registration filed by the Company for the sale of shares for its own account or for the account of any other person, other than the Subscription Agreements. The Company and the Company Investors hereby terminate the Prior Company Agreement, which shall be of no further force and effect and is hereby superseded and replaced in its entirety by this Agreement. To the extent that the Prior Rover Agreement

 

21


does not terminate in accordance with its terms in connection with the Merger, Rover and the Rover Investors hereby terminate the Prior Rover Agreement effective upon consummation of the Merger, and agree that upon consummation of the Merger, the Prior Rover Agreement shall be of no further force and effect and is hereby superseded and replaced in its entirety by this Agreement.

7.2 Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.2, this Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Company or any Sponsor Party hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by the Company or any Sponsor Party in whole or in part. This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and the holders of Registrable Securities and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is not intended to confer any rights or benefits on any persons that are not party hereto other than as expressly set forth in Section 4 and this Section 7.2. The rights, duties and obligations of a holder of Registrable Securities under this Agreement may be transferred by such a holder to a Permitted Transferee who acquires or holds Registrable Securities; provided, however, that such transferee has executed and delivered to the Company a properly completed agreement to be bound by the terms of this Agreement substantially in form attached hereto as Exhibit A (an “Addendum Agreement”), and the transferor shall have delivered to the Company no later than thirty (30) days following the date of the transfer, written notification of such transfer setting forth the name of the transferor, the name and address of the transferee, and the number of Registrable Securities so transferred. The execution of an Addendum Agreement shall constitute a permitted amendment of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, if the securities that a holder wishes to transfer would not be Registrable Securities if held by such transferee, the transferee shall not be entitled to sign the Addendum Agreement or become a party hereto.

7.3 Amendments and Modifications. Upon the written consent of the Company and the Holders of at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities at the time in question, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment or modification hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in his, her or its capacity as a holder of the shares of capital stock of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Holder so affected; provided, further, that any amendment or modification to, or waiver of, Section 6 (including with respect to any defined term as used therein, whether or not such defined term is defined therein) (a) shall not require the consent of the Holders and (b) to the extent it adversely affects any right granted to the Sponsor (including with respect to the Sponsor Director), shall require the prior written consent of the Sponsor. No course of dealing between any holder or the Company and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of a holder or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any holder or the Company. No single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party.

7.4 Term.

7.4.1 Sections 3 through 5 of this Agreement (including with respect to any defined term as used therein, whether or not such defined term is defined therein) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the seventh anniversary of the date of this Agreement and (ii) the date as of which (A) all of the Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to a Registration Statement (but in no event prior to the applicable period referred to in Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission)) or (B) the holders of all Registrable Securities are permitted to sell the Registrable Securities under Rule 144 (or any similar provision) under the Securities Act without limitation on the amount of securities sold or the manner of sale; provided further that with

 

22


respect to any Investor, such Investor will have no rights under this Agreement and all obligations of the Company to such Investor under this Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest date (x) such Investor ceases to hold at least $15 million Registrable Securities and (y) such Investor is permitted to sell the Registrable Securities under Rule 144 (or any similar provision) under the Securities Act without limitation on the amount of securities sold or the manner of sale;

7.4.2 Section 6.1 of this Agreement shall terminate upon such time as the Sponsor and its Affiliates, in the aggregate, no longer meet the Minimum Ownership Threshold.

7.4.3 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of Sections 4, 6.1.4, 6.2 (solely to the extent the applicable corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and insider trading policies and guidelines of the Company as of the date the Sponsor Director no longer serves on the Board apply by their terms to a former member of the Board), 6.3, 6.4 and 7 (including with respect to any defined term as used therein, whether or not such defined term is defined therein) shall survive, and remain in full force and effect following, any termination of this Agreement.

7.5 Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (a) when delivered personally by hand (with written confirmation of receipt by other than automatic means, whether electronic or otherwise), (b) when sent by email (with no automated reply, such as an out-of-office notification, no mail undeliverable notification or other rejection notice) or (c) one (1) Business Day following the day sent by an internationally recognized overnight courier (with written confirmation of receipt), in each case, at the following addresses or e-mail addresses (or to such other address or e-mail address as a party may have specified by notice given to the other party pursuant to this provision):

(Nasdaq: NEBC) (“Caravel”). Caravel is a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company sponsored by True Wind Capital.

Rover Highlights

Rover, the leading online marketplace for pet care, connects pet parents with local, high-quality pet care providers who offer a wide range of services, including boarding, in-home pet sitting, doggy daycare, dog walking, drop-in visits, and grooming. Since its inception through 2020, more than 2 million pet parents have booked services on Rover with more than 500,000 pet care providers across North America and Europe. Rover was created to provide a better pet care alternative for pets and their parents than the existing options of friends and family, neighbors, and kennels. Rover built a simple, easy-to-use platform and mobile app to enable pet parents to discover, book, pay, and review loving pet care providers online. Rover eliminates many of the barriers of pet ownership, enabling Rover’s mission to make it possible for everyone to experience the unconditional love of pets.


Management Commentary

Co-founder and CEO Aaron Easterly will continue to lead Rover’s highly experienced management team. Adam Clammer, CEO of Caravel and Founding Partner of True Wind Capital, will serve as a Director on the combined company’s board of directors.

Aaron Easterly stated, “Today’s transaction marks a key milestone in Rover’s effort to build an enduring business that will fundamentally change the pet care industry. Partnering with the True Wind team represents a unique opportunity to bring the unconditional love of pets to more people. A public listing will provide the capital to accelerate the expansion of core service offerings, support other pet types, and continue to grow our geographic footprint.”

Adam Clammer stated, “We look forward to partnering with Aaron and the rest of Rover’s management team at this exciting inflection point. We believe that management has built an extraordinary business and we’re excited to support them along their public market journey.”

Transaction Overview

Institutional investors have committed to a private investment of $50 million in Class A common stock of the combined company that will close concurrently with the business combination.

Rover and Caravel board of directors have unanimously approved the proposed business combination. Completion of the proposed business combination is expected in the first half of 2021. The transaction will be effected pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement entered into by Rover and Caravel, which contains customary closing conditions including the registration statement being declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), approval by the stockholders of Rover and Caravel, and certain regulatory approvals.

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 including, but not limited to, Caravel’s and Rover’s expectations or predictions of future financial or business performance or conditions. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Generally, statements that are not historical facts, including statements concerning possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events or results of operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements may be preceded by, followed by or include the words “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “plans,” “scheduled,” “anticipates” or “intends” or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events, results or performance to differ materially from those indicated by such statements. Certain of these risks are identified and discussed in the section of Caravel’s Form S-1 titled “Risk Factors” which was filed with the SEC on November 20, 2020. These risk factors will be important to consider in determining future results and should be reviewed in their entirety. These forward-looking statements are based on Caravel’s or Rover’s management’s current expectations and beliefs, as well as a number of assumptions concerning future events. However, there can be no assurance that the events, results or trends identified in these forward-looking statements will occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and neither Caravel nor Rover is under any obligation, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update, alter or otherwise revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Readers should carefully review the statements set forth in the reports, which Caravel has filed or will file from time to time with the SEC.


In addition to factors previously disclosed in Caravel’s reports filed with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in this press release, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance: risks and uncertainties related to the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the merger, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals or stockholder approvals of Caravel or Rover are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the merger is not obtained, failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the merger, risks related to Rover’s ability to execute on its business strategy, attract and retain users, develop new offerings, enhance existing offerings, compete effectively, and manage growth and costs, the duration and global impact of COVID-19, the number of redemption requests made by Caravel’s public stockholders, the ability of the combined company to meet Nasdaq’s listing standards (or the standards of any other securities exchange on which securities of the public entity are listed) following the merger, the inability to complete the private placement of common stock of Caravel to certain institutional accredited investors, the risk that the announcement and consummation of the transactions disrupts Rover’s current plans and operations, costs related to the transactions, the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Caravel, Rover, or any of their respective directors or officers, following the announcement of the transactions, the ability of Caravel’s or the combined company to issue equity or equity-linked securities in connection with the proposed business combination or in the future, the failure to realize anticipated pro forma results and underlying assumptions, including with respect to estimated stockholder redemptions and purchase price and other adjustments; and those factors discussed in documents of Caravel filed, or to be filed, with SEC.

Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements can be found in Caravel’s most recent reports on Form 8-K, which are available, free of charge, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, and will also be provided in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 and Caravel’s proxy statement/prospectus/information statement when available. Any financial projections in this press release are forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Caravel’s and Rover’s control. While all projections are necessarily speculative, Caravel and Rover believe that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection extends from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections. The inclusion of projections in this press release should not be regarded as an indication that Caravel and Rover, or their representatives, considered or consider the projections to be a reliable prediction of future events.

Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purpose only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results.

All statements in this presentation other than statements of historical fact, including, but not limited to, statements regarding Rover’s future operating results, financial position, business strategy, addressable market, anticipated benefits of its technologies, and plans and objectives for future operations and offerings are “forward-looking statements” and can often be identified by the use of terminology such as “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “should,” “could,” “potential,” “projection,” “forecast,” “plan,” “trend,” “assumption,” “opportunity,” “predict,” “seek,” “target,” or similar terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying terms.

Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated in these statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, risks and uncertainties related to the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Potential Business Combination, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the Potential Business Combination is not obtained, failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Potential Business Combination, risks related to Rover’s ability to execute on its business strategy, attract and retain users, develop new offerings, enhance existing offerings, compete effectively, and manage growth and costs, the duration and global impact of COVID-19, the number of redemption requests made by NCAC’s public stockholders and the ability of NCAC’s or the combined company to issue equity or equity-linked securities in connection with the proposed business combination or in the future; and those factors discussed in documents of NCAC filed, or to be filed, with SEC. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither NCAC nor Rover presently know or that NCAC and Rover currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect NCAC’s and Rover’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this presentation.

Solely for convenience, the trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights referred to in this presentation may appear without the TM, SM, ® or © symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that Rover or NCAC will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, their rights or the right of the applicable licensor to these trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights. Use of Projections The projections, estimates and targets in this presentation are forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Rover and NCAC’s control. Such projections, estimates and targets are included for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of future results. While all projections, estimates and targets are necessarily speculative, Rover and NCAC believe that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection, estimate or target extends from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected, expected or target results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, regulatory and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in such projections, estimates and targets. The inclusion of projections, estimates and targets in this presentation should not be regarded as an indication Rover and NCAC, or their representatives, considered or consider the financial projections, estimates and targets to be a reliable prediction of future events. The independent auditors of NCAC and of Rover did not audit, review, compile or perform any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this presentation, and accordingly, neither of them expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this presentation. Financial Information; Non-GAAP Financial Measures The financial information and data for the year ended December 31, 2020 are unaudited and does not conform to Regulation S-X. Accordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in, any proxy statement or registration statement to be filed by NCAC or Rover with the SEC. Some of the financial information and data contained in this presentation, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss adjusted for interest and taxes, depreciation and amortization, other income or expenses, stock-based compensation, restructuring costs, and M&A integration costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Adjusted EBITDA has been included in this presentation because it is a key measure used by Rover management and board of directors to evaluate its operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis and, in the case of exclusion of the impact of equity-based compensation and M&A expenses, excludes items that Rover does not consider to be indicative of its core operating performance. Accordingly, Rover and NCAC believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating Rover’s operating results in the same manner as its management and board of directors. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore Rover’s non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Rover’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures is included in the supplemental materials at the end of the presentation. A reconciliation forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures has not been provided because the various reconciling items are difficult to predict and subject to constant change. Important Information for Investors and Stockholders NCAC and Rover and their respective directors and executive officers and other members of management and employees, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies of NCAC stockholders in connection with the Potential Business Combination. Investors and security holders may obtain more detailed information regarding the names and interests in the Potential Business Combination of NCAC’s directors and officers in NCAC’s filings with the SEC, including NCAC’s registration statement on Form S-1, which was originally filed with the SEC on September 4, 2020. To the extent that holdings of NCAC’s securities have changed from the amounts reported in NCAC’s registration statement on Form S-1, such changes have been or will be reflected on Statements of Change in Ownership on Form 4 filed with the SEC. Information regarding the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies to NCAC’s stockholders in connection with the Potential Business Combination will be set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus on Form S-4 for the Potential Business Combination, which is expected to be filed by NCAC with the SEC. This presentation is not a substitute for the registration statement or for any other document that NCAC may file with the SEC in connection with the Potential Business Combination. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Investors and security holders may obtain free copies of other documents filed with the SEC by NCAC through the website maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov.
