Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Business Combination Agreement

On July 16, 2021, Altimar Acquisition Corp. II, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Altimar”), announced that it had entered into a definitive business combination agreement (as it may be amended, restated, amended and restated or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), dated as of July 15, 2021, by and among Altimar, Fathom Holdco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Fathom”), Rapid Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Altimar (“Rapid Merger Sub”), and the other parties thereto, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Transactions

At the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Closing”):

 

  (a)

Altimar will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and continuing and domesticating as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”), upon which Altimar will change its name to “Fathom Digital Manufacturing Corporation”;

 

  (b)

Fathom will issue managing member interests in Fathom to Altimar in exchange for a nominal cash payment;

 

  (c)

Each of CORE Fund I Blocker-5 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Fathom Blocker 1”), CORE Fund I Blocker-2 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Fathom Blocker 2”), and SG (MCT) Blocker, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Fathom Blocker 3” and, together with Fathom Blocker 1 and Fathom Blocker 2, the “Fathom Blockers”), will merge with and into Rapid Blocker 1 Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Altimar (“Blocker Merger Sub 1”), Rapid Blocker 2 Merger Sub, LLC , a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Altimar (“Blocker Merger Sub 2”), and Rapid Blocker 3 Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Altimar (“Blocker Merger Sub 3” and, together with Blocker Merger Sub 1 and Blocker Merger Sub 2, the “Blocker Merger Subs”), respectively, in each case, with the Fathom Blockers surviving as the surviving companies and wholly owned subsidiaries of Altimar (collectively, the “Surviving Fathom Blockers”);

 

  (d)

The Surviving Fathom Blockers will each merge with and into Altimar (the “Blocker Altimar Mergers”), in each case, with Altimar as the surviving company; and

 

  (e)

Rapid Merger Sub will merge with and into Fathom (the “Fathom Merger”), with Fathom as the surviving entity of the Fathom Merger (Fathom, in its capacity as the surviving entity of the Fathom Merger, is sometimes referred to as the “Fathom Surviving Entity”). Following the Fathom Merger, the Fathom Surviving Entity will be owned by Altimar and all other holders of Fathom units outstanding as of immediately prior to the Fathom Merger (such other holders, excluding Altimar, are referred to as the “Continuing Fathom Unitholders”).

Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination”), the combined company will be organized in an “Up-C” structure, in which substantially all of the assets and business of the combined company will be held by Fathom. Altimar and the Continuing Fathom Unitholders will be issued Class A units of Fathom (“New Fathom Class A Units”). Altimar will be the managing member of Fathom. Altimar will issue to Continuing Fathom Unitholders for cash at par value a number of shares of Class B common stock equal to the number New Fathom Class A Units held by the Continuing Fathom Unitholders. Altimar’s other stockholders will hold Class A common stock of Altimar. Shares of Class A common stock will be entitled to economic rights and one vote per share and shares of Class B common stock will be entitled to one vote per share but no economic rights. The combined company’s business will continue to operate through Fathom.

The Domestication

Immediately prior to the Closing, Altimar will effect the Domestication pursuant to which: (a) each outstanding Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share of Altimar (the “Class A ordinary shares”), will automatically convert into one share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share of Fathom Digital Manufacturing Corporation (“New Fathom Corp.”) (the “Class A common stock”), (b) each outstanding Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share of Altimar (the “Class B ordinary shares”), will automatically convert into one share of Class C common stock, par value $0.0001 per share of New Fathom Corp. (the “Class C common stock”), and (c) the outstanding warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares of Altimar will automatically become exercisable for shares of Class A common stock, pursuant to the Altimar Warrant Agreement (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement). The terms of the Class C common stock will be substantially identical to the terms of the Class B ordinary shares. By their terms, the shares of Class C common stock will automatically convert on a one-to-one basis into shares of Class A common stock upon the consummation of the Business Combination, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments, just as Altimar’s Class B ordinary shares would have converted had the Domestication not occurred. In addition, a certain amount of Altimar’s common stock held by sponsor may be subject to forfeiture (the “Forfeited Shares”) as follows: effective upon and subject to the closing of the Business Combination, (i) if the quotient of (A) the number of Altimar Class A ordinary shares redeemed in the Altimar Stock Redemption divided by (B) 34,500,000 (the “Altimar Stockholder Redemption Ratio”) is less than or equal to 0.10, each then issued


and outstanding share of Class C common stock will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Class A common stock; (ii) if the Altimar Stockholder Redemption Ratio is greater than 0.10 and less than to 0.40, (A) the number of shares of Class C common stock obtained by multiplying the Redemption Forfeiture Ratio (which is obtained by the following formula: 0.15 multiplied by the quotient of (1) the result of (x) the Altimar Stockholder Redemption Ratio minus (y) 0.10, divided by (2) 0.30) by the aggregate number of then issued and outstanding shares of Altimar Class C common stock shall be automatically forfeited and (B) each remaining issued and outstanding share of Altimar Class C common stock (after such forfeiture) will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Class A common stock; and (iii) if the Altimar Stockholder Redemption Ratio is greater than or equal to 0.40, (A) the number of shares of Class C common stock obtained by multiplying 0.15 by the aggregate number of then issued and outstanding shares of Class C common stock will be automatically forfeited and (B) each remaining issued and outstanding share of Class C common stock (after such forfeiture) shall convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Class A common stock.

Pursuant to the Forfeiture and Support Agreement, dated as of July 15, 2021 (the “Forfeiture and Support Agreement”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference, Altimar Sponsor II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), agreed, among other things, effective upon the Closing, (x) as holder of a majority of the Class B ordinary shares prior to the Domestication and a majority of the shares of Class C common stock which will be outstanding as a result of the Domestication, to waive the anti-dilution adjustments set forth in Altimar’s existing Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and which will be set forth in Altimar’s Certificate of Incorporation in connection with the Business Combination and (y) to forfeit and surrender for no additional consideration the Forfeited Shares (as defined in the Forfeiture and Support Agreement) which would be received by Sponsor as a result of the automatic conversion of its shares of Class C common stock upon the Closing.

Consideration

The total consideration to be paid to CORE Industrial Partners Fund I Parallel, LP, Siguler Guff Small Buyout Opportunities Fund III, LP, Siguler Guff Small Buyout Opportunities Fund III (F), LP, Siguler Guff Small Buyout Opportunities Fund III (C), LP, Siguler Guff Small Buyout Opportunities III (UK), LP, Siguler Guff HP Opportunities Fund II, LP, and Siguler Guff Americas Opportunities Fund, LP (collectively, the “Fathom Blocker Owners”) and the Continuing Fathom Unitholders, including CORE Industrial Partners Fund I, LP, at the Closing shall equal the aggregate of:

 

  (a)

(i) All the cash proceeds from the trust account established for the purpose of holding the net proceeds of Altimar’s initial public offering, net of any amounts paid to Altimar’s shareholders that exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination, together with the proceeds from the PIPE Investment (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) (the “Available Cash Amount”), (ii) minus up to $25,000,000 to be contributed by Altimar to the balance sheet of Fathom, (iii) minus up to $42,000,000 to be used to pay down certain indebtedness of Fathom, (iv) minus certain transaction expenses of Fathom and Altimar, which include fees and expenses of various advisors, transfer taxes, employee transaction bonuses, and filing and listing fees (the “Closing Cash Consideration”);

 

  (b)

A number of shares of Class A common stock and newly issued Class A units of Fathom (the “New Fathom Class A Units”) (together with one share of Class B common stock to be issued at par value for cash in respect of each New Fathom Class A Unit), to be allocated as set forth on the Allocation Schedule (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), in an aggregate number (rounded up to the nearest whole share) equal to the quotient of (i) the result of (A) $1,200,000,000 minus (B) the Closing Cash Consideration divided by (ii) $10.00 (the “Closing Seller Equity Consideration”); and

 

  (c)

An aggregate of 9,000,000 shares of earnout equity consideration (in Class A common stock and New Fathom Class A Units) (the “Earnout Shares”). These earnout shares will be issued in three equal tranches of 3,000,000 shares, with each tranche vesting at each of the following share price thresholds: $12.50, $15.00 and $20.00, in each case subject to the vesting and forfeiture provisions set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement (as defined below) and Fathom’s Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “Fathom Operating Agreement”). The earnout period will be five years from the date of the closing of the Business Combination. The achievement of the price threshold will be determined based on a VWAP for 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period or a change of control transaction of New Fathom Corp. that implies the same per share valuation as the applicable price threshold (the “Fathom Earnout Consideration”).

Representations and Warranties; Covenants

The parties to the Business Combination Agreement have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement, including, among others, covenants with respect to the conduct of Altimar, Fathom and the Fathom Blockers and their respective applicable businesses prior to the Closing. Each of Altimar and Fathom has agreed to cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Business Combination to be consummated.

In addition, Fathom will have the option to elect to repay, refinance or obtain debt financing up to an aggregate amount of $175,000,000, which election will be made in consultation with Altimar.


Sponsor also agreed to fund certain transaction expenses of Altimar which exceed the $27,000,000 cap set forth in Section 4.03(b) of the Business Combination Agreement (other than transaction expenses in respect of (i) 50% of transfer taxes, (ii) fees and expenses of certain advisors that are, or have been, retained at the request of Fathom or (iii) printer, transfer agent and proxy solicitation fees which exceed $1,300,000, when taken together, or $27,000,000, when combined with up to $25,700,000 of the aggregate amounts of other transaction expenses of Altimar, which excess will not be borne by Sponsor).

Conditions to Consummation of the Business Combination

The Closing is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among other things: (i) the approval of the Business Combination and other matters by Altimar’s shareholders; (ii) the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and receipt of certain additional regulatory approvals; (iii) the Available Cash Amount equaling no less than $313,000,000 at the Closing; (iv) (x) fundamental representations and warranties (which includes Organization, Due Authorization, Holding Company; Ownership and Brokers’ Fees) bring down conditions to an “all material respects” standard (y) general representations and warranties bring down conditions to a “material adverse effect” standard and (z) capitalization representation bring down condition to a “de minimis” standard; (v) covenant bring down conditions to an “all material respects” standard; (vi) the absence of a material adverse effect on the respective parties; and (vii) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (as defined below) and the listing of Altimar Class A common stock to be issued in the Business Combination on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). To the extent permitted by law, the conditions in the Business Combination Agreement may be waived by the parties thereto.

The Business Combination Agreement also includes a non-solicitation provision prohibiting Altimar from soliciting other business combinations. However, if, at any time prior to obtaining the approval of the Business Combination by Altimar’s stockholders, Altimar’s board of directors determines in good faith, in response to an Intervening Event (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), that the failure to make a change in its recommendation to approve the Business Combination would be a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, Altimar’s board of directors may change its recommendation in favor of the transaction, subject to certain terms and conditions.

Termination

The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated by Altimar or Fathom under certain circumstances, including, among others, (i) by mutual written consent of Fathom and Altimar, (ii) by Fathom or Altimar if the Closing has not occurred on or before December 31, 2021 (the “Outside Date”), (iii) by Fathom or Altimar in the case of material uncured breach by the other party to the Business Combination Agreement (subject to notice and an opportunity to cure, if curable), (iv) by Fathom if, prior to obtaining approval of Altimar’s shareholders, Altimar’s board of directors made a change in recommendation and (v) by Fathom or Altimar if Altimar has not obtained the required approval of its shareholders.

Indemnification

The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in the Business Combination Agreement will not survive the consummation of the transaction, except for those covenants and agreements (a) that by their terms expressly apply in whole or in part at or after the Closing and then only with respect to any breaches occurring at or after the Closing or (b) set forth in Article XIII (Miscellaneous) of the Business Combination Agreement.

Additional Information

The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated by reference herein. The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the parties made to each other as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Business Combination Agreement. The Business Combination Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide any other factual information about Altimar, Fathom or any other party to the Business Combination Agreement. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Business Combination Agreement, which were made only for purposes of the Business Combination Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Business Combination Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts) and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors and reports and documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Investors should not rely on the representations,


warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any party to the Business Combination Agreement. In addition, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements and other terms of the Business Combination Agreement may be subject to subsequent waiver or modification. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties and other terms may change after the date of the Business Combination Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Altimar’s public disclosures.

Proposed Organizational Documents

Prior to the Closing and in connection with the Domestication, Altimar will adopt a new certificate of incorporation (the “Proposed Charter”) and bylaws (the “Proposed Bylaws” and, together with the Proposed Charter, the “Proposed Organizational Documents”), which, among other things, will authorize the following classes of New Fathom Corp. common stock: (i) economic, voting shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A common stock”), (ii) non-economic, voting shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B common stock”), and (iii) economic, voting shares of Class C common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class C common stock” and, together with Class A common stock and Class B common stock, the “Fathom common stock”). In addition, the Proposed Organizational Documents will authorize the board of directors of New Fathom Corp., subject to limitations prescribed by law, to approve the issuance of shares of preferred stock in one or more series, in such amounts and with such voting powers (if any), designations, powers, preferences and other rights, if any, as specified by resolution of the board and included in a certificate of designation relating to any such series of preferred stock.

The three classes of Fathom common stock will carry such economic (as applicable) and voting rights as are set forth in the Proposed Organizational Documents, with each such class entitled to one vote per share. In addition, the Investor Rights Agreement (defined below under “Investor Rights Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement”), among other things, provides that the CORE Investors (defined below) shall initially have the right to nominate to the New Fathom Corp. board of directors a number of designees equal to a majority of directors on the board. Following the Closing, the CORE Investors will have continuing board nomination rights ranging from a majority to one designee, as more fully described below, so long as the CORE Investors continue to beneficially own specified percentages of the shares of Fathom common stock initially owned as of the closing of the Business Combination.

Upon the effectiveness of the Domestication and the Proposed Charter, but prior to the Closing, each outstanding Class A ordinary share of Altimar will automatically convert into one share of Class A common stock, and each outstanding Class B ordinary share of Altimar will automatically convert into one share of Class C common stock. The terms of the Class C common stock will be substantially identical to the presently outstanding Class B ordinary shares of Altimar, and will exist only for a moment in time between the effectiveness of the Domestication and the Closing. Upon the Closing and in accordance with and subject to the forfeiture terms of the Forfeiture and Support Agreement described below, each share of Class C common stock will convert into one share of Class A common stock.

Shares of Class B common stock will be surrendered and canceled, on a one-for-one basis, in connection with any exchange of New Fathom Class A Units for Class A common stock in accordance with the Fathom Operating Agreement.

The foregoing description of the capital structure set forth in the Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the forms thereof, which are attached as Exhibit A and Exhibit B, respectively, to the Business Combination Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Subscription Agreements

In connection with entering into the Business Combination Agreement, Altimar and Fathom entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”), each dated as of July 15, 2021, with certain institutional and other accredited investors (the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which, among other things, the PIPE Investors party thereto agreed to purchase an aggregate of 8,000,000 shares of Class A common stock following the domestication of Altimar and immediately prior to the Closing at a cash purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “PIPE Investment”). The Subscription Agreements contain customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Altimar and the PIPE Investors and are subject to customary closing conditions (including, without limitation, that there is no amendment or modification to the Business Combination Agreement that is material and adverse to the PIPE Investor) and termination rights (including a termination right if the transaction contemplated by the Subscription Agreement has not been consummated by December 31, 2021, other than as a result of breach by the terminating party).

The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the form of Subscription Agreement, a copy of which are filed as Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 10.3 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.


Investor Rights Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement

Upon the completion of the Business Combination, New Fathom Corp. will enter into an investor rights agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”) with CORE Industrial Partners Fund I, L.P., CORE Industrial Partners Fund I Parallel, L.P. (together, the “CORE Investors”), and certain equityholders of New Fathom Corp. named therein.

The Investor Rights Agreement provides for an initial eleven-person board of directors, consisting of ten individuals to be designated by the CORE Investors, which initially will include George Buckley, Carey Chen, TJ Chung (Chair), Caralynn Collens, David Fisher, Maria Green, Peter Leemputte, Ryan Martin, John May and Bob Nardelli, and one independent director to be mutually agreed by the CORE Investors and Sponsor. The CORE Investors have certain continued nomination rights for a number of directors ranging from the majority of the board of directors to one director, while they beneficially own shares of common stock in excess of certain ownership percentage of the amount owned by the CORE Investors at Closing, as determined in accordance with the Investor Rights Agreement. In addition, for so long as the CORE Investors beneficially own shares of common stock representing at least 5% of the amount owned by the CORE Investors at Closing, the CORE Investors will have the right to designate a person to attend meetings of the board (including any meetings of any committees thereof) in a non-voting observer capacity.

The parties to the Investor Rights Agreement will agree (subject to exceptions for permitted transfers) to a contractual lock-up on the sale of Class A common stock for the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter (the “Lock-Up Period”).

In addition, the CORE Investors and the other parties to the Investor Rights Agreement will agree to the terms of the Fathom Earnout Consideration. The vesting period for the Earnout Shares will be five (5) years from the date of the Business Combination. After expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the unvested Earnout Shares will not be transferable and those already vested Earnout Shares will only be transferable to those permitted transferees under the Investor Rights Agreement. In the event that any unvested Earnout Shares have not vested on or prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date, those Earnout Shares that have not vested will automatically be forfeited and surrendered to New Fathom Corp. for no consideration.

Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, New Fathom Corp. granted to certain holders of equity in New Fathom Corp., including the CORE Investors, former Fathom equityholders, Sponsor and certain other former Altimar equityholders customary demand, shelf and piggyback registration rights. New Fathom Corp. is required to file within thirty days of the Closing a shelf registration statement registering the public resale of the shares of common stock of New Fathom Corp. (“Shelf Registration Statement”), and cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof and no later than the earlier of (A) 60 calendar days after the filing thereof (or, in the event the SEC reviews and has written comments to the Shelf Registration Statement, the 90th calendar day following the filing thereof) and (B) the 10th business day after the date New Fathom Corp. is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that it will not review the Shelf Registration Statement.

The foregoing descriptions of the Investor Rights Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the terms and conditions of the form Investor Rights Agreement and the form Registration Rights Agreement, which are attached as Exhibits C and D, respectively, to the Business Combination Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Fathom Operating Agreement

On the Closing Date, Fathom, New Fathom Corp. and the other members named therein will enter into the Fathom Operating Agreement. The Fathom Operating Agreement will provide for a redemption right with respect to the vested New Fathom Class A Units, pursuant to which each vested New Fathom Class A Unit will be redeemable, subject to certain limitations, for either one share of Class A common stock, or, at Fathom’s or New Fathom Corp.’s election, cash of an equivalent value, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Fathom Operating Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Fathom Operating Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Fathom Operating Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit G to the Business Combination Agreement, filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.

Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the Closing, New Fathom Corp. will enter into a tax receivable agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”), by and among New Fathom Corp, Fathom, each of the Exchange TRA Parties (as defined in the Tax Receivable Agreement) party thereto, each of the Blocker TRA Parties (as defined in the Tax Receivable Agreement) party thereto and CORE Industrial Partners Management LP, in its capacity as TRA Party Representative (as defined in the Tax Receivable Agreement). Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, New Fathom Corp. will be required to pay 85% of certain tax benefits, if any, that it realizes (or in certain cases is deemed to realize) as a result of tax basis in certain assets and other tax attributes of New Fathom Corp. at the time of the Business


Combination, any increases in tax basis and other tax benefits related to the payment of cash consideration pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and any increases in tax basis and other tax benefits resulting from any exchange of New Fathom Class A Units for shares of New Fathom Corp. Class A common stock or cash in the future. New Fathom Corp.’s obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement accelerate upon a change in control and certain other termination events, as defined therein.

The foregoing description of the Tax Receivable Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the form Tax Receivable Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit E to the Business Combination Agreement, filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.

Forfeiture and Support Agreement

Pursuant to the Forfeiture and Support Agreement, dated as of July 15, 2021 (the “Forfeiture and Support Agreement”), Sponsor, agreed, among other things, (a) effective upon the Closing, as holder of a majority of Altimar’s Class B ordinary shares prior to the Domestication and a majority of the shares of Class C common stock which will be outstanding as a result of the Domestication, (x) to waive the anti-dilution adjustments set forth in Altimar’s existing Memorandum and Articles of Association and which will be set forth in Altimar’s Certificate of Incorporation in connection with the Business Combination and (y) to forfeit and surrender for no additional consideration the Forfeited Shares which would be received by Sponsor upon the automatic conversion of its shares of Class C common stock upon the Closing and (b) from the date of the Business Combination Agreement until the earlier of Closing or the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms, to refrain from taking (and not cause Altimar to take) any action the effect of which would be to cause Altimar to breach its non-solicitation obligations set forth in Section 9.08 of the Business Combination Agreement. In addition, each of Sponsor and the Individual Class B Holders (as defined in the Forfeiture and Support Agreement) agreed, among other things, (i) from the date of the Business Combination Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms, to not redeem any Class A ordinary shares (or, if applicable, shares of Altimar Class A common stock) held by it and (ii) prior to the consummation of Business Combination or the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, to vote or cause to be voted, all of the Altimar shares beneficially owned by Sponsor or such Individual Class B Holder, at every meeting of the shareholders of Altimar at which such matters are considered and at every adjournment or postponement thereof: (1) in favor of (A) the Business Combination and the Business Combination Agreement and the other transactions contemplated thereby (including any proposals recommended by Altimar’s Board of Directors in connection with the Business Combination) and (B) any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting of shareholders to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination; (2) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that could reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Altimar under the Business Combination Agreement; and (3) against (A) any proposal or offer from any person concerning (I) a merger, consolidation, liquidation, recapitalization, share exchange or other business combination transaction involving Altimar, or (II) the issuance or acquisition of shares of capital stock or other Altimar equity securities (other than as contemplated or permitted by the Business Combination Agreement); and (B) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be expected to (x) impede the fulfillment of Altimar’s conditions under the Business Combination Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of Altimar’s shares or (y) result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of Sponsor or any of the Individual Class B Holders contained in the Forfeiture and Support Agreement.

In addition, Sponsor and each of the Individual Class B Holders, in their capacity as holders of Altimar Class B ordinary shares, have also agreed (a) not to, prior to the consummation of Business Combination or the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, transfer any of the their Class B ordinary shares (or shares of Class C common stock received in the Domestication), and in the case of Sponsor, its warrants to acquire Altimar Class A ordinary shares, except to certain permitted transferees that agree to be bound by the terms of the Forfeiture and Support Agreement and (b) for the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier to occur of (i) the one (1)-year anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the last day of the Qualifying Period (as defined below), if the VWAP of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any twenty (20) Trading Days (as defined in the Forfeiture and Support Agreement) within a period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days commencing at least 150 days after the Closing Date (the “Qualifying Period”), not to transfer any of such Sponsor’s or Individual Class B Holder’s Altimar ordinary shares or Altimar common stock (other than shares of Class A common stock acquired pursuant to the PIPE Investment).

Under the terms of the Forfeiture and Support Agreement, Sponsor agreed that, from and after the Closing, 1,267,500 shares of Altimar Class B ordinary shares (or, following the Domestication, shares of Class C common stock or Class A common stock, as applicable) held by Sponsor (other than any shares of Altimar common stock issued to Sponsor pursuant to the PIPE Investment) (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”) will be unvested and restricted and that such shares will vest automatically if (a) the VWAP of the Altimar Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share for any twenty (20) trading days within a period of thirty (30) consecutive trading days and (b) there is a change of control of Altimar, unless the per share consideration to be received by the holders of Class A common stock in such change of control transaction is less than the vesting threshold applicable to the Sponsor Earnout Shares (each of (a) and (b), a “Vesting Event”). To the extent that, on or prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date, a Vesting Event did not occur, all outstanding unvested Sponsor Earnout Shares will automatically be forfeited.


Sponsor also agreed to, at the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, provide funds to Altimar to satisfy the funding of certain transaction expenses, after utilizing the unused portion of the working capital amount funded by Sponsor to Altimar prior to the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, that are in excess of the aggregate $27,000,000 cap referenced in Section 4.03(b) of the Business Combination Agreement. All obligations of Altimar to Sponsor for borrowed money or any payments made to or on behalf of Altimar will be settled in cash and not through the issuance of warrants or other equity securities of Altimar.

The foregoing description of the Forfeiture and Support Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Forfeiture and Support Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.

Fathom Voting and Support Agreements

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Altimar and Rapid Merger Sub, on the one hand, and various direct and indirect holders of equity in Fathom, including the CORE Investors (collectively, the “Fathom Holders”), on the other hand, each entered into a Voting and Support Agreement (collectively, the “Voting and Support Agreements”), pursuant to which each such Fathom Holder agreed to, among other things, (i) vote in favor of (or consent to) the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Business Combination.

The foregoing description of the Voting and Support Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the form of Voting and Support Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.02.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The disclosure set forth above in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the issuance of shares of Fathom common stock is incorporated by reference herein. The shares of Fathom common stock issuable in connection with the PIPE Investment will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Important Information About the Business Combination and Where to Find It

In connection with the proposed Business Combination, Altimar intends to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) which will include a proxy statement/prospectus, and certain other related documents, which will be both the proxy statement to be distributed to holders of Altimar’s ordinary shares in connection with Altimar’s solicitation of proxies for the vote by Altimar’s shareholders with respect to the Business Combination and other matters as may be described in the Registration Statement, as well as the prospectus relating to the offer and sale of the securities of Fathom to be issued in the Business Combination. Altimar’s shareholders and other interested persons are advised to read, when available, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus included in the Registration Statement and the amendments thereto and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, as these materials will contain important information about the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, Altimar and the Business Combination. After the Registration Statement is declared effective, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to shareholders of Altimar as of a record date to be established for voting on the Business Combination and other matters as may be described in the Registration Statement. Shareholders will also be able to obtain copies of the proxy statement/prospectus and other documents filed with the SEC that will be incorporated by reference in the proxy statement/prospectus, without charge, once available, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to: Altimar Acquisition Corp. II, 40 West 57th Street, 33rd Floor, New York, New York 10019, or by calling (212) 287-6767.

Participants in the Solicitation

Altimar and its directors and executive officers may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies from Altimar’s shareholders with respect to the Business Combination. A list of the names of those directors and executive officers and a description of their interests in Altimar is contained in Altimar’s final prospectus from its initial public offering, which was filed with the SEC on February 5, 2021, and is available free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to Altimar Acquisition Corp. II, 40 West 57th Street, 33rd Floor, New York, New York 10019, or by calling (212) 287-6767. Additional information regarding the interests of such participants will be contained in the Registration Statement when available.

Fathom and its respective managers and executive officers may also be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from Altimar’s shareholders in connection with the Business Combination. A list of the names of such directors and executive officers and information regarding their interests in the Business Combination will be contained in the Registration Statement when available.


Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Altimar’s and Fathom’s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “target,” “goal,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, Altimar’s and Fathom’s expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the Business Combination, the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the Business Combination and the timing of the completion of the Business Combination. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside Altimar’s and Fathom’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Altimar and/or Fathom following the announcement of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; (2) the inability of Altimar to complete the contemplated transactions with Fathom; (3) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement or could otherwise cause the transactions contemplated therein to fail to close; (4) the ability to meet the NYSE’s listing standards following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the proposed Business Combination; (5) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (6) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, the amount of funds available in Altimar’s trust account following any redemptions by Altimar’s shareholders; (7) costs related to the Business Combination; (8) the possibility that Fathom or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and (9) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Business Combination, including those under “Risk Factors” in the Registration Statement, and in Altimar’s other filings with the SEC, including those factors discussed in the registration statement and final prospectus relating to Altimar’s initial public offering filed with the SEC on February 5, 2021 and Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on June 1, 2021. Altimar cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Altimar cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Altimar does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

No Offer or Solicitation

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Business Combination. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall also not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of section 10 of the Securities Act.

The Parties hereby agree, following the Closing, (i) that Altimar, Fathom and their respective Subsidiaries are the indemnitors of first resort (i.e., its obligations to the indemnified Persons under this Section 9.01 are primary and any obligation of any Indemnitee Affiliate to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or Liabilities incurred by the indemnified Persons under this Section 9.01 are secondary), (ii) that Altimar, Fathom and their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by the indemnified Persons under this Section 9.01 and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and required by Altimar’s or Fathom’s and their respective Subsidiaries’ governing documents or any director or officer indemnification agreements, without regard to any rights the indemnified Persons under this Section 9.01 may have against any Indemnitee Affiliate, subject to such indemnified Person providing an undertaking to refund any and all such advances to Altimar in the event that it is determined (by a final non-appealable judgment) that such indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification, and (iii) except with respect to employees and as set forth in the immediately preceding clause (ii), that the Parties (on behalf of themselves and their respective Subsidiaries) irrevocably waive, relinquish and release the Indemnitee Affiliates from any and all claims against the Indemnitee Affiliates for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 9.01 shall survive the consummation of the Mergers indefinitely and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on the Altimar Surviving Entity and the Fathom Surviving Entity, and all successors and assigns of the Altimar Surviving Entity and the Fathom Surviving Entity.

This Agreement is hereby adopted as and shall constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g) with respect to the Blocker Mergers and the Blocker Altimar Mergers.

(c) Altimar and Fathom and its Subsidiaries intend for the Transactions to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment and will not take any inconsistent position on any Tax Return or during the course of any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes, except as otherwise required by a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or a change in applicable Law after the date hereof, based on a breach of a representation or covenant in this Agreement, or as the result of any action required pursuant to this Agreement.

No representations, warranties, covenants, understandings, agreements, oral or otherwise, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement exist between the Parties except as expressly set forth or referenced in this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 13.10 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part, only by a duly authorized agreement in writing executed in the same manner as this Agreement and which makes reference

Table of Contents

to this Agreement. The approval of this Agreement by the members or equityholders of any of the Parties shall not restrict the ability of the board of directors (or other body or entity performing similar functions) of any of the Parties to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.01 or, subject to applicable Law, including the DGCL and the Cayman Islands Companies Act (2021 Revision), to cause such Party to enter into an amendment to this Agreement pursuant to this Section 13.10.

Section 13.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The Parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the Parties.

Section 13.12 Jurisdiction; WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. Any Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be brought in federal and state courts located in the State of Delaware, and each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Action, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the Action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any Party to serve process in any manner permitted by Law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other Party in any other jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any Action brought pursuant to this Section 13.12. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 13.13 Enforcement. 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 do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement) or any Transaction Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, without proof of damages, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.01, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement, and (ii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the Parties would have entered into this Agreement. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement in accordance with this Section 13.13 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Altimar acknowledges and agrees that Fathom may, without breach of this Agreement, with respect to any Transaction Agreement to which Fathom is a party, institute or pursue an Action directly against the counterparty(ies) to such Transaction Agreement seeking, or seek or obtain a court order against the counterparty(ies) to such Transaction Agreement for, injunctive relief, specific performance, or other equitable relief with respect to such Transaction Agreement.

Section 13.14 Non-Recourse. Subject in all respects to the last sentence of this Section 13.14, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 13.14 shall limit, amend or waive any rights of any party to any Transaction Agreement under such Transaction Agreement; provided such rights can only be enforced against the actual parties to the applicable Transaction Agreements in accordance with the terms thereof.

Section 13.15 Nonsurvival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. None of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or other agreements in this Agreement or in any certificate, statement or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including any rights arising out of any breach of such representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements and other provisions, shall survive the Closing and instead shall terminate and expire upon the occurrence of the Closing (and there shall be no liability after the Closing in respect thereof), except for (a) those covenants and agreements contained herein that by their terms expressly apply in whole or in part at or after the Closing and then only with respect to any breaches occurring at or after the Closing (including, for the avoidance of doubt Section 10.05(b)) and (b) this Article XIII.

Section 13.16 Acknowledgements.

(a) Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees (on its own behalf and on behalf of its respective Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives) that: (i) it has conducted its own independent investigation of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of the other Parties (and their respective Subsidiaries) and has been afforded satisfactory access to the books and records, facilities and personnel of the other Parties (and their respective Subsidiaries) for purposes of conducting such investigation; (ii) the Fathom Representations constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of Fathom; (iii) the Altimar Representations constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of Altimar; (iv) the Fathom Blocker Representations constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of the Fathom Blockers; (v) except for the Fathom Representations by Fathom, the Altimar Representations by the Altimar Parties and the Fathom Blocker Representations by the Fathom Blockers, none of the Parties or any other Person makes, or has made, any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to any Party (or any Party’s Subsidiaries), including any implied warranty or representation as to condition, merchantability, suitability or fitness for a particular purpose or trade as to any of the assets of the such Party or its Subsidiaries or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature expressed or implied (including any relating to the future business, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, prospects, assets or liabilities of any Party (or its Subsidiaries)) are specifically disclaimed by all Parties and their respective Subsidiaries and all other Persons (including the Representatives and Affiliates of any Party or its Subsidiaries); and (vi) each Party and its respective Affiliates have not relied and are not relying on any representations and warranties (or the omission of any representations) in connection with the Transactions except the Fathom Representations by Fathom, the Altimar Representations by the Altimar Parties and the Fathom Blocker Representations by the Fathom Blockers, and the certifications pursuant to Section 11.02(d) or Section 11.03(d). The foregoing does not limit any rights of any Party pursuant to any other Transaction Agreement against any other Party pursuant to such Transaction Agreement to which it is a party or an express third party beneficiary thereof.

Each Party acknowledges and agrees that it will not assert, institute or maintain any Action, suit, investigation, or proceeding of any kind whatsoever, including a counterclaim, cross-claim, or defense, regardless of the legal or equitable theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, that makes any claim contrary to the agreements and covenants set forth in this Section 13.16. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 13.16(b) shall preclude any Party from seeking any remedy for Fraud by a Party with respect to the making of the representations and warranties pursuant to Article V, Article VI or Article VII (as applicable). Each Party shall have the right to enforce this Section 13.16 on behalf of any Person that would be benefitted or protected by this Section 13.16 if they were a party hereto. The foregoing agreements, acknowledgements, disclaimers and waivers are irrevocable.

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

OF

FATHOM DIGITAL MANUFACTURING CORPORATION

Fathom Digital Manufacturing Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, does hereby certify as follows:

ARTICLE ONE

The name of the corporation is Fathom Digital Manufacturing Corporation (the “Corporation”).

ARTICLE TWO

The address of the Corporation’s registered office in the State of Delaware is 1209 Orange Street, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, Delaware, 19801. The name of its registered agent at such address is The Corporation Trust Company.

ARTICLE THREE

The nature and purpose of the business of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). The Corporation is being incorporated in connection with the domestication of Altimar Acquisition Corp. II, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Altimar Cayman”), as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”), and this Certificate of Incorporation (as hereinafter defined) and the Certificate of Corporate Domestication of Altimar Cayman are being filed simultaneously with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

ARTICLE FOUR

Section 1. Authorized Shares. The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is [●] shares, consisting of three classes as follows:

1. 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”);

2. [●] shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”);

3. [●] shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”); and

4. [●] shares of Class C Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class C Common Stock” and, together with the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, the “Common Stock”).

Upon the effectiveness of the Domestication and this Certificate of Incorporation (A) each Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (a “Class A Cayman Share”), of Altimar Cayman that is outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Domestication and this Certificate of Incorporation will, for all purposes, be deemed to be one issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable share of Class A Common Stock, without any action required on the part of the Corporation or the holders thereof, (B) each Class B

Table of Contents

ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (a “Class B Cayman Share”), of Altimar Cayman that is outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Domestication and this Certificate of Incorporation will, for all purposes, be deemed to be one issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable share of Class C Common Stock, without any action required on the part of the Corporation or the holders thereof, and (C) any stock certificate that, immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Domestication and this Certificate of Incorporation, represented Class A Cayman Shares or Class B Cayman Shares will, from and after the effectiveness of the Domestication and this Certificate of Incorporation, automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange, represent an identical number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class C Common Stock (respectively) of the Corporation, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, following the filing and effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the Corporation shall not issue additional shares of Class C Common Stock.

The Preferred Stock and the Common Stock shall have the designations, rights, powers and preferences and the qualifications, restrictions and limitations thereof, if any, set forth below. The number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, Class C Common Stock or Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the approval of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) and by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in an election of directors, and no vote of the holders of any of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, Class C Common Stock or Preferred Stock voting separately as a class shall be required therefor, regardless of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL (or any successor provisions thereto). No stockholder shall, by reason of the holding of shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation, have any preemptive or preferential right to acquire or subscribe for any shares or securities of any class or series, whether now or hereafter authorized, which may at any time be issued, sold or offered for sale by the Corporation, unless specifically provided for in a Preferred Stock Designation (as hereinafter defined). The Corporation has the authority to create and issue rights, warrants and options entitling the holders thereof to acquire from the Corporation any shares of its capital stock of any class or classes, with such rights, warrants and options to be evidenced by or in instrument(s) approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is empowered to set the exercise price, duration, times for exercise and other terms and conditions of such rights, warrants or options. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consideration to be received for any shares of capital stock issuable upon exercise thereof may not be less than the par value thereof. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of capital stock a number of shares of the class of capital stock issuable pursuant to any such rights, warrants and options outstanding from time to time.

Section 2. Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by law, to provide, by resolution or resolutions for the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series, and with respect to each series, to establish the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the voting powers (if any), designations, powers, preferences, and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, if any, of the shares of each such series, and any qualifications, restrictions or limitations thereof, as are stated and expressed herein and in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such class or series adopted by the Board of Directors and included in a certificate or certificates of designation (each, a “Preferred Stock Designation”). The powers (including voting powers), preferences, and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock and the qualifications, restrictions or limitations thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding. Except as otherwise required by law, holders of a series of Preferred Stock, as such, shall be entitled only to such voting rights, if any, as shall expressly be granted thereto by this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation relating to such series).

Section 3. Common Stock.

(a) Except as otherwise provided by the DGCL or this Certificate of Incorporation (as it may be amended, the “Certificate of Incorporation”), and subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock, all of the

 

A-2


Table of Contents

voting power of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be vested in the holders of the Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote for each share held by such holder on all matters voted upon by the stockholders of the Corporation; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) or pursuant to the DGCL.

(b) Except as otherwise required by law or expressly provided in this Certificate of Incorporation, each share of Common Stock shall have the same powers, rights and privileges and shall rank equally, share ratably and be identical in all respects as to all matters.

(c) Subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock and to the other provisions of applicable law and this Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and, solely prior to the automatic conversion thereof upon and as a result of the BCA Transaction, holders of Class C Common Stock, in each case shall be entitled to receive ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock (as applicable) held by them such dividends and distributions (payable in cash, stock or otherwise), if any, as may be declared thereon by the Board of Directors at any time and from time to time out of any funds of the Corporation legally available therefor. There will be no disparate consideration or treatment with respect to dividends and distributions, if any, declared or payable in respect of each share of the Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock (solely prior to the automatic conversion thereof upon and as a result of the BCA Transaction), on the one hand, and a Class A Unit (as defined in the LLC Agreement (as hereinafter defined)), on the other hand. Dividends and other distributions shall not be declared or paid on the Class B Common Stock unless (i) the dividend consists of shares of Class B Common Stock or of rights, options, warrants or other securities convertible or exercisable into or exchangeable for shares of Class B Common Stock paid proportionally with respect to each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock and (ii) a dividend consisting of shares of Class A Common Stock, Class C Common Stock (solely prior to the automatic conversion thereof upon and as a result of the BCA Transaction) or of rights, options, warrants or other securities convertible or exercisable into or exchangeable for shares of Class A Common Stock (to the extent a similar or contemptuous dividend or distribution is not paid on the Class A Units) or Class C Common Stock (solely prior to the automatic conversion thereof upon and as a result of the BCA Transaction) on equivalent terms is simultaneously paid to the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock (solely prior to the automatic conversion thereof upon and as a result of the BCA Transaction). If dividends are declared on the Class A Common Stock, the Class B Common Stock or the Class C Common Stock (solely prior to the automatic conversion thereof upon and as a result of the BCA Transaction) that are payable in shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, the dividends payable to the holders of Class A Common Stock shall be paid only in shares of Class A Common Stock (or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock), the dividends payable to the holders of Class B Common Stock shall be paid only in shares of Class B Common Stock (or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for Class B Common Stock), the dividends payable to the holders of Class C Common Stock shall be paid only in shares of Class C Common Stock (or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for Class C Common Stock), and such dividends shall be paid in the same number of shares (or fraction thereof) on a per share basis of the Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock, respectively (or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for the same number of shares (or fraction thereof) on a per share basis of the Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock, respectively). For purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation, “BCA Transaction” means the business combination transactions contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of July [__], 2021, by and among the Corporation, Fathom Holdco, LLC and other Persons party thereto, as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or waived from time to time (the “BCA”).

(d) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, after distribution in full of the preferential amounts, if any, to be distributed to the holders of shares of Preferred Stock or any series thereof, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock (solely prior to the automatic conversion thereof upon and as a result of the BCA Transaction) shall be entitled to receive all of the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock (as applicable) held by them. The holders of shares of Class B Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to receive any assets of the Corporation in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation. A dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation, as such terms are used in this paragraph (d), shall not be deemed to be occasioned by or to include any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or corporations or other entity or a sale, lease, exchange or conveyance of all or a part of the assets of the Corporation; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of any such merger, sale, lease, exchange or conveyance, or any other similar transaction or recapitalization, the holders of shares of Class B Common Stock shall not be entitled to any consideration in connection therewith other than the right to receive securities with equivalent terms and conditions as the Class B Common Stock, and the consideration payable in respect of a share of Class A Common Stock shall equal the consideration payable in respect of a Class A Unit.

(e) Shares of Class B Common Stock shall be redeemable for shares of Class A Common Stock on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Fathom Holdco, LLC, dated as of [                    ], 2021, as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms (the “LLC Agreement”). The Corporation will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon redemption of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock for Class A Common Stock pursuant to the LLC Agreement, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock that shall be issuable upon any such redemption pursuant to the LLC Agreement; provided that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude the Corporation from satisfying its or its affiliates’ obligations in respect of any such redemption of shares of Class B Common Stock pursuant to the LLC Agreement by delivering (either directly or indirectly through an affiliate) to the holder of shares of Class B Common Stock upon such redemption, in lieu of newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock, cash in the amount permitted by and provided in the LLC Agreement or shares of Class A Common Stock which are held in the treasury of the Corporation. All shares of Class A Common Stock that may be issued upon any such redemption shall, upon issuance in accordance with the LLC Agreement, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. All shares of Class B Common Stock redeemed shall not be disposed of out of treasury or otherwise reissued and shall be cancelled.

(f) Conversion of Class C Common Stock.

(i) Shares of Class C Common Stock shall automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis (the “Initial Conversion Ratio”): (A) at any time and from time to time at the option of the holder thereof; or (B) automatically and without further action by the Corporation or the holder thereof on the day of the closing of a Business Combination, which for the avoidance of doubt will be the closing of the BCA Transaction.

(ii) Notwithstanding the Initial Conversion Ratio, in the case that additional shares of Class A Common Stock or any other Equity-linked Securities (as hereinafter defined), are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the IPO and related to the closing of a Business Combination, all outstanding shares of Class C Common Stock shall automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock at the time of the closing of a Business Combination at such ratio (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class C Common Stock agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) that results in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all outstanding shares of Class C Common Stock be equal to, in the aggregate, 20% of the sum of all shares of Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock outstanding upon completion of the IPO plus all shares of

 

A-4


Table of Contents

Class A Common Stock and Equity-linked Securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination, excluding any shares or Equity-linked Securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in an initial Business Combination.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the foregoing adjustment to the Initial Conversion Ratio may be waived as to any particular issuance or deemed issuance of additional shares of Class A Common Stock or Equity-linked Securities by the written consent or agreement of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class C Common Stock consenting or agreeing separately as a separate class.

(iv) The foregoing conversion ratio shall also be adjusted to account for any subdivision (by share split, subdivision, exchange, capitalization, rights issue, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse share split, share consolidation, exchange, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or similar reclassification or recapitalizations of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a greater or lesser number of shares occurring after the Effective Date without a proportionate and corresponding subdivision, combination or similar reclassification or recapitalization of the outstanding shares of Class C Common Stock.

(v) Each share of Class C Common Stock shall convert into its pro rata number of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to this Section 3(f). The pro rata share for each holder of shares of Class C Common Stock will be determined as follows: each share of Class C Common Stock shall convert into such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as is equal to the product of one multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Class C Common Stock into which all of the outstanding shares of Class C Common Stock in issue shall be converted pursuant to this Section 3(f) and the denominator of which shall be the total number of outstanding shares of Class C Common Stock at the time of conversion.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(f), in no event may any share of Class C Common Stock convert into shares of Class A Common Stock at a ratio that is less than one-for-one

(vii) As used in this Section 3(f):

(A) “converted”, “conversion” or “exchange” shall have its ordinary meaning under Delaware law, and thereby shall have the same effect as a compulsory redemption without notice of shares of Class C Common Stock of any stockholder and, on behalf of such stockholders, automatic application of such redemption proceeds in paying for such new shares of Class A Common Stock into which the shares of Class C Common Stock have been converted or exchanged at a price per share of Class C Common Stock necessary to give effect to a conversion or exchange calculated on the basis that the shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued as part of the conversion or exchange will be issued at par. The shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued on an exchange or conversion shall be registered in the name of such stockholder or in such name as the stockholder may direct;

(B) “Equity-linked Securities” means any debt or equity securities that are convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Class A Common Stock issued in a financing transaction in connection with a Business Combination, including, but not limited to, a private placement of equity or debt; and

(C) “IPO” means the initial public offering of Altimar Cayman.

(viii) Shares of Class C Common Stock converted into shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to Section 3(f) shall be cancelled by the Corporation and may not be reissued. At any time after consummation of a Business Combination, when there are no longer any shares of Class C Common Stock outstanding, the Corporation shall take all necessary action to retire and eliminate the Class C Common Stock, and shall amend this Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate references thereto.

(xi) Nothing in Section 3(f) of this Certificate of Incorporation shall limit or amend any obligation or agreement of any party to the Sponsor Agreement. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms and

 

A-5


Table of Contents

provisions of the Sponsor Agreement and the terms and provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation, including (without limitation) Section 3(f) hereof, the terms and provisions of the Sponsor Agreement shall control. For purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation, “Sponsor Agreement” means that certain Sponsor Agreement referred to in the BCA pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor Persons (as defined in the BCA) have agreed to (i) vote in favor of, and take all actions necessary to consummate, the BCA Transactions, (ii) the lock-up period and conditions described therein, (iii) following the consummation of the Mergers (as defined in the BCA), a certain amount of their Class A Common Stock will be subject to vesting restrictions described therein, (iv) as holder of a majority of the Class B Cayman Shares prior to the Domestication and a majority of the shares of Class C Common Stock at the filing of this Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to waive certain anti-dilution adjustments set forth in Section 17.3 of Altimar Cayman’s Memorandum and Articles of Association and Section 3(f) of this Certificate of Incorporation in connection with the transactions contemplated by the BCA and (y) to forfeit certain shares of Class A Common Stock received upon the automatic conversion of its shares of Class C Common Stock upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the BCA for no consideration; and (v) to the conversion of Class C Common Stock into Class A Common Stock automatically upon consummation the BCA Transaction.

(g) No Transfer of any shares of Common Stock or shares of Preferred Stock may be made, except in compliance with the Investor Rights Agreement (as hereinafter defined) or Sponsor Agreement (if and as applicable) and applicable federal and state securities laws. No Transfer of shares of Class B Common Stock may be made, unless such transferor also Transfers an equal number of applicable Class A Units to the applicable transferee in accordance with the terms and conditions of the LLC Agreement. The Corporation may place customary restrictive legends on the certificates or book entries representing the shares of Common Stock and, if applicable, the shares of Preferred Stock subject to this Section 3(g) and remove such restrictive legends at the time the applicable restrictions under this Section 3(g) are no longer applicable to the shares of Common Stock or shares of Preferred Stock represented by such certificates or book entries. To the extent shares of Common Stock and, if applicable, shares of Preferred Stock subject to this Section 3(g) are uncertificated, the Corporation shall give notice of the restrictions set forth in this Section 3(g) in accordance with the DGCL. For purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation, “Transfer” has the meaning set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement or Sponsor Agreement, as applicable.

The directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast; provided that, whenever the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation are entitled to elect one or more directors pursuant to the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation (including, but not limited to, any duly authorized Preferred Stock Designation), such directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by such holders. The term of office of the initial Class I directors shall expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders following [                    ], 2021 (the “Commencement Date”), the term of office of the initial Class II directors shall expire at the second succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after the Commencement

For the purposes hereof, the Board of Directors may assign directors already in office to Class I, Class II and Class III, in accordance with the terms of that certain Investor Rights Agreement, dated on or about [                    ], 2021 (as amended and/or restated or supplemented in accordance with its terms, the “Investor Rights Agreement”), by and among the Corporation and the investors named therein. At each annual meeting of stockholders after the Commencement Date, directors elected to replace those of a class whose terms expire at such annual meeting shall be elected to hold office until the third succeeding annual meeting after their election and until their respective successors shall have been duly elected and qualified.

Nothing in this Certificate of Incorporation shall preclude a director from serving consecutive terms.

A director elected or appointed to fill a vacancy shall serve for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor in office and until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. A director elected or appointed to fill a position resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been elected or appointed and until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the authorized number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

Section 6. Removal and Resignation of Directors. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding and notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, directors may only be removed for cause and only (i) prior to the first date on which CORE (as hereinafter defined) and its Affiliated Companies (as hereinafter defined) first cease to beneficially own in the aggregate (directly or indirectly) shares of Common Stock representing at least 50% of the Original Amount (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement), upon the affirmative vote of stockholders representing at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (“Voting Stock”), voting together as a single class and (ii) after such date on which CORE and its Affiliated Companies first cease to beneficially own in the aggregate (directly or indirectly) shares of Common Stock representing at least 50% of the Original Amount, upon the affirmative vote of stockholders representing at least a majority of the voting power of the Voting Stock. Any director may resign at any time upon notice in writing or by electronic transmission to the Corporation.

Section 7. Rights of Holders of Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the provisions of this ARTICLE FIVE, whenever the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately or together by series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other features of such directorship shall be subject to the rights of such series of Preferred Stock. During any period when the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or together with one or more series, have the right to elect additional directors, then upon commencement and for the duration of the period during which such right continues: (i) the then otherwise total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall automatically be increased by such specified number of directors, and the holders of such Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect the additional directors so provided for or fixed pursuant to said provisions, and (ii) each such additional director shall serve until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s right to hold such office terminates pursuant to said provisions, whichever occurs earlier, subject to his or her earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation, on behalf of itself and its Affiliated Companies, renounces any interest or expectancy of the Corporation and its Affiliated Companies in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, business opportunities that are from time to time presented to the Exempted Persons, even if the opportunity is one that the Corporation or its Affiliated Companies might reasonably be deemed to have pursued or had the ability or desire to pursue if granted the opportunity to do so, and each Exempted Person shall have no duty to communicate or offer such business opportunity to the Corporation or its Affiliated Companies and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be liable to the Corporation, any of its Affiliated Companies or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary or other duty, as a director, officer or stockholder of the Corporation solely, by reason of the fact that CORE, its Affiliated Companies or any such Exempted Person pursues or acquires such business opportunity, sells, assigns, transfers or directs such business opportunity to another person or fails to present such business opportunity, or information regarding such business opportunity, to the Corporation or any of its Affiliated Companies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2, the Corporation does not renounce any interest or expectancy it may have in any business opportunity that is expressly offered to any Exempted Person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of, or through his or her service to, or pursuant to a contract with, the Corporation, and not in any other capacity. Nothing in this Certificate of Incorporation shall be deemed to supersede any other agreement to which an Exempted Person may be a party or the rights of any other party thereto restricting such Exempted Person’s ability to have certain business interests or engage in certain business activities or ventures.

Section 3. Certain Matters Deemed Not Corporate Opportunities. In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this ARTICLE EIGHT, a corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to belong to the Corporation if it is a business opportunity the Corporation is not financially able or contractually permitted or legally able to undertake, or that is, from its nature, not in the line of the Corporation’s business or is of no practical advantage to it or that is one in which the Corporation has no interest or reasonable expectancy.

Section 4. Amendment of this Article. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding,

and in addition to any vote required by applicable law, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least eighty percent (80%) of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, shall be required to alter, amend or repeal, or to adopt any provision inconsistent with, this ARTICLE EIGHT; provided however, that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, neither the alteration, amendment or repeal of this ARTICLE EIGHT nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this ARTICLE EIGHT shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any Exempted Person for or with respect to any activities or opportunities which such Exempted Person becomes aware prior to such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption.

(a) prior to such time the Board of Directors (without taking into account the consent or approval of the Interested Stockholder or its designees if represented on the Board of Directors) approved either the Business Combination or the transaction which resulted in such stockholder becoming an Interested Stockholder;

(b) upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in such stockholder becoming an Interested Stockholder, such stockholder owned at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the Voting Stock of the Corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the Voting Stock outstanding (but not the outstanding Voting Stock owned by such Interested Stockholder) those shares owned (i) by Persons (as defined hereinafter) who are directors and also officers of the Corporation and (ii) employee stock plans of the Corporation in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

(c) at or subsequent to such time, the Business Combination is approved by the Board of Directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the outstanding Voting Stock which is not owned by such Interested Stockholder.

Section 3. Exceptions to Prohibition on Interested Stockholder Transactions. The restrictions contained in this ARTICLE NINE shall not apply if:

(a) a stockholder becomes an Interested Stockholder inadvertently and (i) as soon as practicable divests itself of ownership of sufficient shares so that the stockholder ceases to be an Interested Stockholder; and (ii) would not, at any time within the three-year period immediately prior to a Business Combination between the Corporation and such stockholder, have been an Interested Stockholder but for the inadvertent acquisition of ownership; or

Incorporation inconsistent therewith be adopted, unless in addition to any other vote required by this Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise required by law, such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption is approved by the affirmative vote of holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the voting power of all outstanding shares of Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, at a meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders called for that purpose and (b) no provision of ARTICLE NINE of this Certificate of Incorporation may be altered, amended or repealed in any respect, nor may any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent therewith be adopted, unless in addition to any other vote required by this Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise required by law, such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption is approved by the affirmative vote of holders of at least eighty percent (80%) of the voting power of all outstanding shares of Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, at a meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders called for that purpose.

ARTICLE ELEVEN

Section 1. Exclusive Forum.

Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Failure to enforce the foregoing provisions would cause the Corporation irreparable harm and the Corporation shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, to enforce the foregoing provisions.

Fathom Digital Manufacturing Corporation (the “Corporation”) may have an office or offices other than its registered office at such place or places, either within or outside the State of Delaware, as the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require. The registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware shall be as stated in the corporation’s certificate of incorporation as then in effect (the “Certificate of Incorporation”).

ARTICLE II

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1. Place of Meetings. The Board of Directors may designate a place, if any, either within or outside the State of Delaware, as the place of meeting for any annual meeting or for any special meeting of stockholders.

Section 2. Annual Meeting. An annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held at such date and time as is specified by resolution of the Board of Directors. At the annual meeting, stockholders shall elect directors to succeed those whose terms expire at such annual meeting and transact such other business as properly may be brought before the annual meeting pursuant to Section 11 of this ARTICLE II of these Amended and Restated Bylaws (these “Bylaws”). The Board of Directors may postpone, reschedule or cancel any annual meeting of stockholders previously scheduled by the Board of Directors.

Section 3. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders may only be called in the manner provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice. The Board of Directors may postpone, reschedule or cancel any special meeting of stockholders previously scheduled by the Board of Directors.

Section 4. Notice of Meetings. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take action at a meeting, notice of the meeting shall be given that shall state the place, if any, date, and time of the meeting of the stockholders, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders not physically present may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date on which the meeting is to be held, to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, except as otherwise provided herein or required by law (meaning, here and hereinafter, as required from time to time by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”)) or the Certificate of Incorporation.

(a) Form of Notice. All such notices shall be delivered in writing or in any other manner permitted by the DGCL. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid,

 

B-1


Table of Contents

addressed to the stockholder at his, her or its address as the same appears on the records of the Corporation. If delivered by courier service, notice shall be deemed given at the earlier of when the notice is received or left at such stockholder’s address as the same appears on the records of the Corporation. If given by electronic mail, notice shall be deemed given when directed to such stockholder’s electronic mail address unless the stockholder has notified the Corporation in writing or by electronic transmission of an objection to receiving notice by electronic mail or such notice is prohibited by the DGCL. Notice to stockholders may also be given by other forms of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder. If given by facsimile telecommunication, such notice shall be deemed given when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice by facsimile. If given by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, such notice shall be deemed given upon the later of (x) such posting and (y) the giving of such separate notice. If notice is given by any other form of electronic transmission, such notice shall be deemed given when directed to the stockholder. An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Corporation, the transfer agent of the Corporation or any other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

(b) Waiver of Notice. Whenever notice is required to be given under any provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the stockholder entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission given by the stockholder entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation need be specified in any waiver of notice of such meeting. Attendance of a stockholder of the Corporation at a meeting of such stockholders shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the stockholder attends for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened and does not further participate in the meeting.

(c) Notice by Electronic Transmission. Notwithstanding Section 4(a) of this ARTICLE II, a notice may not be given by electronic transmission from and after the time: (i) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two (2) consecutive notices given by the Corporation; and (ii) such inability becomes known to the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent or other person responsible for the giving of notice. However, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. For purposes of these Bylaws, except as otherwise limited by applicable law, the term “electronic transmission” means any form of communication not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, including the use of, or participation in, one or more electronic networks or databases (including one or more distributed networks or databases), that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such recipient through an automated process. A notice by electronic mail must include a prominent legend that the communication is an important notice regarding the Corporation. A notice by electronic mail will include any files attached thereto and any information hyperlinked to a website if such electronic mail includes the contact information of an officer or agent of the corporation who is available to assist with accessing such files or information.

Section 5. List of Stockholders. The Corporation shall prepare, at least 10 days before each meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the 10th day before the meeting date, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each such stockholder. Nothing contained in this section shall require the Corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held

 

B-2


Table of Contents

at a place, the list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Except as otherwise provided by law, the list shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this Section 5 or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

Section 6. Quorum. The holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding capital stock entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. If a quorum is not present, the chair of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the voting power present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote at the meeting may adjourn the meeting to another time and/or place from time to time until a quorum shall be present or represented by proxy. When a specified item of business requires a vote by a class or series (if the Corporation shall then have outstanding shares of more than one class or series) voting as a separate class or series, the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding stock of such class or series entitled to vote thereon shall constitute a quorum (as to such class or series) for the transaction of such item of business. A quorum once established at a meeting shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum.

Section 7. Adjourned Meetings. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place. When a meeting is adjourned to another time and place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board of Directors shall fix a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors and, except as otherwise required by law, shall not be more than 60 days nor less than 10 days before the date of such adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

Section 8. Vote Required. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock then outstanding, when a quorum has been established, all matters other than the election of directors shall be determined by the affirmative vote of the majority of voting power of capital stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter, unless by express provisions of the DGCL or other applicable law, the rules of any stock exchange upon which the Corporation’s securities are listed, any regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws a minimum or different vote is required, in which case such minimum or different vote shall be the required vote for such matter. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast.

Section 9. Voting Rights. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock then outstanding, except as otherwise provided by the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder which has voting power upon the matter in question. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot.

Section 10. Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as

long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the Corporation generally.

Section 13. Action by Stockholders Without a Meeting. So long as preferred stockholders of the Corporation have the right to act by written consent in accordance with Section 1 of ARTICLE SEVEN of the Certificate of Incorporation, the following provisions shall apply:

(a) Record Date. For the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting as may be permitted by the Certificate of Incorporation or the certificate of designation relating to any outstanding class or series of preferred stock, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date on which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than ten (10) (or the maximum number permitted by applicable law) days after the date on which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. Any stockholder of record seeking to have the stockholders authorize or take action by written consent shall, by written notice delivered to the Secretary at the Corporation’s principal place of business during regular business hours, request that the Board of Directors fix a record date, which notice shall include the text of any proposed resolutions. Notices delivered pursuant to Section 13(a) of this ARTICLE II will be deemed received on any given day only if received prior to the Close of Business on such day (and otherwise shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day). The Board of Directors shall promptly, but in all events within ten (10) days after the date on which such written notice is properly delivered to and deemed received by the Secretary, adopt a resolution fixing the record date (unless a record date has previously been fixed by the Board of Directors pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 13(a)). If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 13(a) or otherwise within ten (10) days of receipt of a valid request by a stockholder, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required pursuant to applicable law, shall be the first date after the expiration of such ten (10) day time period on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation pursuant to Section 13(b); provided, however, that if prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall in such an event be at the Close of Business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

(b) Generally. No written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take such action are delivered to the Corporation, in the manner required by this Section 13, within sixty (60) (or the maximum number permitted by applicable law) days of the date of the earliest dated consent delivered to the Corporation in the manner required by applicable law. The validity of any consent executed by a proxy for a stockholder pursuant to an electronic transmission transmitted to such proxy holder by or upon the authorization of the stockholder shall be determined by or at the direction of the Secretary. A written record of the information upon which the person making such determination relied shall be made and kept in the records of the proceedings of the stockholders. Any such consent shall be inserted in the minute book as if it were the minutes of a meeting of stockholders. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given by the Corporation (at its expense) to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for notice of such meeting had been the date that written consent signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation.

Section 14. Conduct of Meetings.

(a) Generally. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chair of the Board, if any, or in the Chair’s absence or disability, the Chair’s designee, or if the Chair has made no such designation or in the designee’s absence or disability, by a chair designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence or disability of such person, by a chair chosen at the meeting. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in the Secretary’s absence or disability the chair of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

At any meeting of the Board of Directors, business shall be transacted in such order and manner as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine.

Unless otherwise provided in such a resolution, the presence of at least a majority of the members of the committee shall be necessary to constitute a quorum. All matters shall be determined by a majority vote of the members present at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Unless otherwise provided in such a resolution, in the event that a member and that member’s alternate, if alternates are designated by the Board of Directors, of such committee is or are absent or disqualified, the member or members present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in place of any such absent or disqualified member.

Section 8. Action by Written Consent. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board of Directors or such committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission.

CERTIFICATES OF STOCK

Section 1. Form. The shares of stock of the Corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided that the Board of Directors may provide by resolution that some or all of any or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the Corporation. If shares are represented by certificates, the certificates shall be in such form as required by applicable law and as determined by the Board of Directors. Each certificate shall certify the number of shares owned by such holder in the Corporation and shall be signed by, or in the name of the Corporation by two authorized officers of the Corporation including, but not limited to, the Chair of the Board (if an officer), the President, a Vice President, the Treasurer, the Secretary and an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation. Any or all signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used on, any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar of the Corporation whether because of death, resignation or otherwise before such certificate or certificates have been issued by the Corporation, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be issued as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar of the Corporation at the date of issue. All certificates for shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified. The Board of Directors may appoint a bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof to act as its transfer agent or registrar, or both in connection with the transfer of any class or series of securities of the Corporation. The Corporation, or its designated transfer agent or other agent, shall keep a book or set of books to be known as the stock transfer books of the Corporation, containing the name of each holder of record, together with such holder’s address and the number and class or series of shares held by such holder and the date of issue. When shares are represented by certificates, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to each holder to whom such shares have been issued or transferred, certificates representing the shares owned by such holder, and shares of stock of the Corporation shall only be transferred on the books of the Corporation by the holder of record thereof or by such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender to the Corporation or its designated transfer agent or other agent of the certificate or certificates for such shares endorsed by the appropriate person or persons, with such evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement, transfer, authorization and other matters as the Corporation may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps. In that event, it shall be the duty of the Corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate or certificates and record the transaction on its books. When shares are not represented by certificates, shares of stock of the Corporation shall only be transferred on the books of the Corporation by the holder of record thereof

 

B-17


Table of Contents

or by such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such evidence of the authenticity of such transfer, authorization and other matters as the Corporation may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps, and within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of such shares, the Corporation shall, if required by applicable law, send the holder to whom such shares have been issued or transferred a written statement of the information required by applicable law. Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or any other instrument, the rights and obligations of the holders of uncertificated stock and the rights and obligations of the holders of certificates representing stock of the same class and series shall be identical.

Section 2. Lost Certificates. The Corporation may issue or direct a new certificate or certificates or uncertificated shares to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates previously issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates or uncertificated shares, the Corporation may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his or her legal representative, to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct, sufficient to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares.

Section 3. Registered Stockholders. The Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its records as the owner of shares of stock to receive dividends, to vote, to receive notifications and otherwise to exercise all the rights and powers of an owner, except as otherwise required by applicable law. The Corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares of stock on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise required by applicable law.

Section 4. Fixing a Record Date for Purposes Other Than Stockholder Meetings or Actions by Written Consent. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment or any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purposes of any other lawful action (other than stockholder meetings and stockholder written consents which are expressly governed by Sections 12 and 13 of ARTICLE II hereof), the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the Close of Business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 1. Right to Indemnification and Advancement. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved (including involvement, without limitation, as a witness) in any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or officer or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than permitted prior thereto), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees and related disbursements, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time (“ERISA”) and any other penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s

heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in this Section 2 of this ARTICLE VII with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advance of expenses (as defined below), the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized in the specific case by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The rights to indemnification and advance of expenses conferred in this Section 1 of ARTICLE VII shall be contract rights. In addition to the right to indemnification conferred herein, an indemnitee shall also have the right, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (an “advance of expenses”); provided, however, that if and to the extent that the DGCL requires, an advance of expenses shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 1 or otherwise. The Corporation may also, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification and advancement to employees and agents of the Corporation. Any reference to an officer of the Corporation in this ARTICLE VII shall be deemed to refer exclusively to the Chair of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer, President, Secretary and Treasurer of the Corporation appointed pursuant to ARTICLE IV, and to any Vice President, Assistant Secretary, Assistant Treasurer or other officer of the Corporation appointed by the Board of Directors pursuant to ARTICLE IV of these By-laws, and any reference to an officer of any other enterprise shall be deemed to refer exclusively to an officer appointed by the board of directors or equivalent governing body of such other entity pursuant to the certificate of incorporation and bylaws or equivalent organizational documents of such other enterprise. The fact that any person who is or was an employee of the Corporation or an employee of any other enterprise has been given or has used the title of “Vice President” or any other title that could be construed to suggest or imply that such person is or may be an officer of the Corporation or of such other enterprise shall not result in such person being constituted as, or being deemed to be, an officer of the Corporation or of such other enterprise for purposes of this ARTICLE VII.

Section 2. Procedure for Indemnification. Any claim for indemnification or advance of expenses by an indemnitee under this Section 2 of ARTICLE VII shall be made promptly, and in any event within forty-five days (or, in the case of an advance of expenses, twenty days, provided that the director or officer has delivered the undertaking contemplated by Section 1 of this ARTICLE VII if required), upon the written request of the indemnitee. If the Corporation denies a written request for indemnification or advance of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within forty-five days (or, in the case of an advance of expenses, twenty days, provided that the indemnitee has delivered the undertaking contemplated by Section 1 of this ARTICLE VII if required), the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this ARTICLE VII shall be enforceable by the indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his or her right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advance of expenses where the undertaking required pursuant to Section 1 of this ARTICLE VII, if any, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct which make it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proof shall be on the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, a committee thereof, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

Section 3. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was or has agreed to become a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is

or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, member, trustee, administrator, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expenses, liability or loss under the DGCL.

Section 4. Service for Subsidiaries. Any person serving as a director, officer, partner, member, trustee, administrator, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, at least 50% of whose equity interests are owned by the Corporation (a “subsidiary” for purposes of this ARTICLE VII) shall be conclusively presumed to be serving in such capacity at the request of the Corporation.

Section 5. Reliance. Persons who served as directors or officers of Altimar Cayman (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation), and Persons who after the date of the adoption of this provision become or remain directors or officers of the Corporation or who, while a director or officer of the Corporation, become or remain a director, officer, employee or agent of a subsidiary, shall be conclusively presumed to have relied on the rights to indemnity, advance of expenses and other rights contained in this ARTICLE VII in entering into or continuing such service. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the rights to indemnification and to the advance of expenses conferred in this ARTICLE VII shall apply to claims made against an indemnitee arising out of acts or omissions which occurred or occur both prior and subsequent to the adoption hereof. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of this ARTICLE VII that adversely affects any right of an indemnitee or its successors shall be prospective only and shall not limit, eliminate, or impair any such right with respect to any proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment or repeal.

Section 6. Non-Exclusivity of Rights; Continuation of Rights of Indemnification. The rights to indemnification and to the advance of expenses conferred in this ARTICLE VII shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under the Certificate of Incorporation or under any statute, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. All rights to indemnification under this ARTICLE VII shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each director or officer of the Corporation who serves or served in such capacity at any time while this ARTICLE VII is in effect. Any repeal or modification of this ARTICLE VII or repeal or modification of relevant provisions of the DGCL or any other applicable laws shall not in any way diminish any rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses of such director or officer or the obligations of the Corporation arising hereunder with respect to any proceeding arising out of, or relating to, any actions, transactions or facts occurring prior to the final adoption of such repeal or modification.

Section 7. Merger or Consolidation. For purposes of this ARTICLE VII, references to the “Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this ARTICLE VII with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

Section 8. Savings Clause. To the fullest extent permitted by law, if this ARTICLE VII or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify and advance expenses to each person entitled to indemnification under Section 1 of this ARTICLE VII as to all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees and related disbursements, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and any other penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such person and for which indemnification and advancement of expenses is

2.2 Election of Directors.

(a) From the Effective Date, CORE Designator shall have the right, but not the obligation, to nominate to the Board a number of designees (such persons, the “CORE Nominees”) equal to at least: (i) a majority of the Total Number of Directors (as defined below), so long as the CORE Investors Beneficially Own shares of Common Stock representing at least 50% of the Original Amount (as defined below), (ii) 35% of the Total Number of Directors, in the event that the CORE Investors Beneficially Own shares of Common Stock representing at least 20% but less than 35% of the Original Amount, (iii) 20% of the Total Number of Directors, in the event that the CORE Investors Beneficially Own shares of Common Stock representing at least 10% but less than 20% of the Original Amount and (iv) 1 (one) Director (as defined below), in the event that the CORE Investors Beneficially Own shares of Common Stock representing at least 5% of the Original Amount. For purposes of calculating the number of directors that CORE Designator is entitled to designate pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, any fractional amounts shall automatically be rounded up to the nearest whole number (e.g., 11/4 Directors shall equate to 2 Directors) and any such calculations shall be made after taking into account any increase in the Total Number of Directors.

(b) In the event that CORE Designator has nominated less than the total number of designees that CORE Designator is entitled to nominate pursuant to Section 2.2(a), CORE Designator shall have the right, at any time, to nominate such additional designees to which it is entitled, in which case, the Company and the Directors shall take all necessary corporation action, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (including with respect to fiduciary duties under Delaware law), to (x) enable CORE Designator to nominate and effect the election or appointment of such additional individuals, whether by increasing the size of the Board, or otherwise and (y) to designate such additional individuals nominated by CORE Designator to fill such newly created vacancies or to fill any other existing vacancies.

(c) In addition to the nomination rights set forth in Section 2.2(a) above, from the Effective Date, for so long as the CORE Investors Beneficially Own shares of Common Stock representing at least 5% of the Original Amount, CORE Designator shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate a person (a “Non-Voting Observer”) to attend meetings of the Board (including any meetings of any committees thereof) in a non-voting observer capacity. Any such Non-Voting Observer shall be permitted to attend all meetings of the Board. CORE Designator shall have the right to remove and replace its Non-Voting Observer at any time and from time to time. The Company shall furnish to any Non-Voting Observer (i) notices of Board meetings no later than, and using the same form of communication as, notice of Board meetings are furnished to Directors and (ii) copies of any materials prepared for meetings of the Board that are furnished to the Directors no later than the time such materials are furnished to the Directors; provided, that (x) such Non-Voting Observer shall be required to execute or otherwise become subject to any codes of conduct or confidentiality agreements of the Company generally applicable to directors of the Company or as the Company reasonably requests and (y) the Company reserves the right to withhold any information and to exclude such Non-Voting Observer from any meeting or portion thereof to the extent access to such materials or attendance at such meeting would be reasonably likely to adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel or result in disclosure of trade secrets or a conflict of interest; provided, further, that failure to deliver notice, or materials, to such Non-Voting Observer in connection with such Non-Voting Observer’s right to attend and/or review materials with respect to, any meeting of the Board shall not, by itself, impair the validity of any action taken by such Board at such meeting.

(d) The Company shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the CORE Nominees and the Non-Voting Observer in connection with the performance of his or her duties as a Director or a Non-Voting Observer and in connection with his or her attendance at any meeting of the Board. In addition, as promptly as practicable following the request by any CORE Nominee who is serving as a Director, the Company shall enter into an indemnification agreement with such CORE Nominee in the form entered into with the other members of the Board.

(e) No reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock that the CORE Investors Beneficially Own shall shorten the term of any incumbent director who is serving as a CORE Nominee.

(f) In the event that any CORE Nominee shall cease to serve for any reason, CORE Designator shall be entitled, for so long as CORE Designator retains the right to nominate a CORE Nominee to fill the applicable vacant seat, to designate such person’s successor in accordance with this Agreement and the Board shall promptly fill the vacancy with such successor nominee; it being understood that any such designee shall serve the remainder of the term of the director whom such designee replaces.

(g) If a CORE Nominee is not appointed or elected to the Board because of such person’s death, disability, disqualification, withdrawal as a nominee or for other reason is unavailable or unable to serve on the Board, CORE Designator shall be entitled, for so long as CORE Designator retains the right to nominate a CORE Nominee to fill the applicable vacant seat, to designate promptly another nominee and the director position for which the original CORE Nominee was nominated shall not be filled pending such designation.

(h) So long as CORE Designator has the right to nominate CORE Nominees under Section 2.2(a) or any such CORE Nominee is serving on the Board, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain in effect at all times directors and officers indemnity insurance coverage in an amount determined by the Board to be reasonable and customary, and the Company Charter and Amended and Restated Bylaws (each as may be further amended, supplemented or waived in accordance with its terms) shall at all times provide for indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. Upon the removal or resignation of any CORE Nominee as a Director for any reason, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions reasonably necessary to extend such director’s official liability insurance coverage for a period of not less than six (6) years from any such event in respect or any act or omission occurring at or prior to such event.

 

C-8


Table of Contents

(i) If the size of the Board is expanded, CORE Designator shall be entitled to nominate a number of CORE Nominees to fill the newly created vacancies such that the total number of CORE Nominees serving on the Board following such expansion will be equal to that number of CORE Nominees that CORE Designator would be entitled to nominate in accordance with Section 2.2(a) if such expansion occurred immediately prior to any meeting of the stockholders of the Company called with respect to the election of members of the Board, and the Board shall appoint such CORE Nominees to the Board.

(j) During such time as the Company is required by applicable law or the New York Stock Exchange or such other principal United States securities exchange on which the Class A Common Stock is listed, quoted, or admitted to trading (the “Exchange”) listing standards to have a majority of the Board comprised of “independent directors” (subject in each case to any applicable phase-in periods), CORE Nominees shall include a number of persons that qualify as “independent directors” under applicable law and the Exchange listing standards such that, together with any other “independent directors” then serving on the Board that are not CORE Nominees, the Board is comprised of a majority of “independent directors.”

(k) At any time that CORE Designator shall have any nomination rights under Section 2.2, except as required by Law or the rules and regulations of the Exchange, the Company shall not take any action, including making or recommending any amendment to the Company Charter or the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect CORE Designator’s rights, respectively, under this Agreement, in each case without the prior written consent of CORE Designator.

(l) Any CORE Nominee will be subject to the Company’s customary due diligence process, including its review of a completed questionnaire and a background check. Based on the foregoing, the Company may object to any CORE Nominee if (a) it does so in good faith and (b) such objection is based upon any of the following: (i) such CORE Nominee was convicted in a criminal proceeding or is a named subject of a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (ii) such CORE Nominee was the subject of any order, judgment, or decree not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining such proposed director from, or otherwise limiting, the following activities: (A) engaging in any type of business practice; or (B) engaging in any activity in connection with the purchase or sale of any security or in connection with any violation of federal or state securities laws; (iii) such CORE Nominee was the subject of any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any federal or state authority barring, suspending or otherwise limiting for more than sixty (60) days the right of such person to engage in any activity described in clause (ii)(B), or to be associated with persons engaged in such activity; (iv) such CORE Nominee was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commission to have violated any federal or state securities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated; (v) such CORE Nominee was the subject of, or a party to any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to a violation of any federal or state securities laws or regulations; or (vi) any other reason(s) that apply by reason of applicable Law, the rules and regulations of the Exchange or Company policy. In the event the Board reasonably finds the CORE Nominee to be unsuitable based upon one or more of the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi) and reasonably objects to the identified director, the CORE Designator shall be entitled to propose a different CORE Nominee to the Board within thirty (30) calendar days of the Company’s notice to the CORE Designator of its objection to the CORE Nominee and such replacement CORE Nominee shall be subject to the review process outlined above.

2.3 Company Obligations. The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that prior to the date that the CORE Investors cease to Beneficially Own shares of Common Stock representing at least 5% of the total voting power of the then outstanding Common Stock, (i) each CORE Nominee is included in the Board’s slate of nominees to the stockholders (the “Board Slate”) for each election of directors; and (ii) each CORE Nominee is included in the proxy statement prepared by management of the Company in connection with soliciting proxies for every meeting of the stockholders of the Company called with respect to the election of members of the Board (each, a “Director Election Proxy Statement”), and at every adjournment or postponement

thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the stockholders of the Company or the Board with respect to the election of members of the Board. CORE Designator will promptly provide reporting to the Company after CORE Designator ceases to Beneficially Own shares of Common Stock representing at least 5% of the total voting power of the then outstanding Common Stock, such that Company is informed of when this obligation terminates. The calculation of the number of CORE Nominees that CORE Designator is entitled to nominate to the Board Slate for any election of directors shall be based on the percentage of the total voting power of the then outstanding Common Stock then Beneficially Owned by CORE (“CORE Voting Control”), as applicable, immediately prior to the mailing to shareholders of the Director Election Proxy Statement relating to such election (or, if earlier, the filing of the definitive Director Election Proxy Statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission). Unless CORE Designator notifies the Company otherwise prior to the mailing to stockholders of the Director Election Proxy Statement relating to an election of directors, the CORE Nominees for such election shall be presumed to be the same CORE Nominees currently serving on the Board, and no further action shall be required of CORE Designator for the Board to include such CORE Nominees on the Board’s Slate; provided, that, in the event CORE Designator is no longer entitled to nominate the full number of CORE Nominees then serving on the Board, CORE Designator shall provide advance written notice to the Company, of which currently serving CORE Nominee(s) shall be excluded from the Board Slate, and of any other changes to the list of CORE Nominees. If CORE Designator fails to provide such notice prior to the mailing to shareholders of the Director Election Proxy Statement relating to such election (or, if earlier, the filing of the definitive Director Election Proxy Statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission), a majority of the independent directors then serving on the Board shall determine which of the CORE Nominees of CORE Designator then serving on the Board will be included in the Board Slate.

2.4 Compensation. Except to the extent any CORE Designator may otherwise notify the Company with respect to such CORE Designator’s CORE Nominees, each CORE Nominee shall be entitled to compensation consistent with the Director compensation received by other Directors, including any fees and equity awards.

2.5 Other Rights of CORE Nominees. Except as provided in Section 2.3, each CORE Nominee serving on the Board shall be entitled to the same rights and privileges applicable to all other members of the Board generally or to which all such members of the Board are entitled. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, indemnify, exculpate, and reimburse fees and expenses of the CORE Nominees (including by entering into an indemnification agreement in a form substantially similar to the Company’s form director indemnification agreement) and provide the CORE Nominees with director and officer insurance to the same extent it indemnifies, exculpates, reimburses and provides insurance for the other members of the Board pursuant to the Company Charter or Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, applicable Law or otherwise.

2.6 Director Independence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties hereto shall ensure the composition of the Board will continue to meet all requirements for a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange (or such other stock exchange on which the Class A Common Stock may be listed from time to time), including with respect to director independence.

Company shall maintain a Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a Shelf continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. In the event the Company files a Form S-1 Shelf, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration) to a Form S-3 Shelf as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3 and, in any event, within 10 days following such date.

If withdrawn, a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall not constitute a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown for purposes of Section 2.1.4.

It is acknowledged by the Investors that the Investors shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ or agents’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Investors.

3.3 Requirements for Participation in Registration Statement Underwritten Offerings. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Investor does not provide the Company with its requested Investor Information, the Company may exclude such Investor’s Registrable Securities from the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus if the Company determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such information is necessary to effect the registration and such Investor continues thereafter to withhold such information. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering or other coordinated offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting or other agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such arrangements. The exclusion of an Investor’s Registrable Securities as a result of this Section 3.3 shall not affect the registration of the other Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration.

3.4 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure; Restrictions on Registration Rights.

3.4.1 Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Investors shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being

 

D-12


Table of Contents

understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed.

3.4.2 If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would (a) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, (b) require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, or (c) in the good faith judgment of the majority of the Board such Registration, be seriously detrimental to the Company and the majority of the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer such filing, initial effectiveness or continued use at such time, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Investors, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under this Section 3.4.2, the Investors agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities.

3.4.3 (a) During the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated Registration and provided that the Company continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the applicable Shelf Registration Statement, or (b) if, pursuant to Section 2.1.4, Investors have requested an Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the Company and such Investors are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite such offering, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Investors, delay any other registered offering pursuant to Section 2.1.4 or 2.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement and except for the obligations set forth in Section 2.1.1 and Section 2.2.2, no Registration shall be effected or permitted, no Registration Statement shall become effective, and no notice shall be refused to be delivered with respect to any Registrable Securities held by any Investor, until after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period applicable to the securities.

3.5 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Investor shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Investors with true and complete copies of all such filings; provided that any documents publicly filed or furnished with the Commission pursuant to the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System shall be deemed to have been furnished or delivered to the Investors pursuant to this Section 3.5. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Investor may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Investor to sell shares of Common Stock held by such Investor without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule then in effect). Upon the request of any Investor, the Company shall deliver to such Investor a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

4.1 Indemnification.

4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Investor of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors and agents and each person who controls such Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including without

 

D-13

limitation reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by such Investor expressly for use therein.

4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor of Registrable Securities is participating, such Investor 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 (the “Investor Information”) and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors, officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including without limitation reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Investor expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Investors of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Investor of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Investors of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.

4.1.3 Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel 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.

4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Investor of Registrable Securities 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 the Company’s or such Investor’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the

 

D-14


Table of Contents

indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket 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; provided, however, that the liability of any Investor under this Section 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Investor in such offering giving rise to such liability. 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 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.1.5 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 this Section 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

A Net Tax Benefit is “Attributable” to an Exchange TRA Party to the extent that it is derived from an Exchange Covered Tax Asset with respect to Company Units that were Exchanged by such TRA Party. The “Net Tax Benefit” for a Taxable Year shall be an amount equal to the excess, if any, of 85% of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit as of the end of such Taxable Year over the sum of the total amount of payments previously made under Section 3.1(a) (excluding payments attributable to Interest Amounts) and the Advance Payments previously made under Section 3.1(b) of this Agreement (excluding any portion of Advance Payments in respect of anticipated Interest Amounts); provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that a TRA Party shall not be required to return any portion of any previously made Tax Benefit Payment or Advance Payment it receives under this Agreement. The “Interest Amount” in respect of the TRA Party shall equal the interest on the amount of the unpaid Net Tax Benefit Attributable to such TRA Party for a Taxable Year, which interest shall accrue on any unpaid Net Tax Benefit from and after the due date (without extensions) for filing the IRS Form 1120 (or any successor form) for the Corporation for such Taxable Year, calculated at the Agreed Rate, until the date such unpaid amounts are paid. For the avoidance of doubt, for Tax purposes, the Interest Amount shall not be treated as interest but instead shall be treated as additional consideration in the Business Combination or an Exchange, as applicable, unless otherwise required by law. “Advance Payments” in respect of a TRA Party for a Taxable Year means the payments made by the Corporation to such TRA Party as an advance of such TRA Party’s anticipated Tax Benefit Payment for such Taxable Year. The Corporation shall be entitled at its option with the approval of a majority of the Independent Directors to make Advance Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, after any lump-sum payment under Article IV of this Agreement in respect of present or future Blocker Pre-BCA Covered Tax Assets or Exchange Covered Tax Assets, such Blocker Pre-BCA Covered Tax Assets or Exchange Covered Tax Assets shall no longer be considered Blocker Pre-BCA Covered Tax Assets or Exchange Covered Tax Assets, as applicable, for purposes of determining Tax Benefit Payments or the Net Tax Benefit.

Section 3.2 No Duplicative Payments. It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement will not result in duplicative payment of any amount (including interest) required under this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed consistent with such intent.

Section 3.3. Pro Rata Payments.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.1 to the contrary, to the extent that the aggregate amount of the tax benefit to the Corporation from the reduction in Tax liability as a result of the Blocker Pre-BCA Covered Tax Assets or the Exchange Covered Tax Assets is limited in a particular Taxable Year because the Corporation does not have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize available deductions and other attributes, the aggregate Net Tax Benefit for such Taxable Year shall be deemed Attributable to each TRA Party for purposes of Section 3.1(b) in proportion to the portion of such Net Tax Benefit that would be Attributable to such TRA Party under Section 3.1(b) if the Corporation had sufficient taxable income so that there were no such limitation; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of allocating among the TRA Parties the aggregate Net Tax Benefit with respect to any Taxable Year, the operation of this Section 3.3(a) with respect to any prior Taxable Years shall be taken into account so as to eliminate as quickly as possible, proportionately, the difference with respect to each TRA Party between (i) the aggregate Net Tax Benefit that would be Attributable to such TRA Party under Section 3.1(b) with respect to each such Taxable Year (on a cumulative basis) if the Corporation had sufficient taxable income so that there were no limitation under this Section 3.3(a) and (ii) the actual aggregate Net Tax Benefit deemed Attributable to such TRA Party under Section 3.1(b) with respect to each such Taxable Year (on a cumulative basis) by operation of this this Section 3.3(a). Consistent with the foregoing, the Attribute Schedule for a given Taxable Year shall reflect the operation of this Section 3.3(a) in respect of previous Taxable Years, with the Blocker Pre-BCA Covered Tax Assets and Exchange Covered Tax Assets described in such Attribute Schedule that are Attributable to a TRA Party being adjusted to reflect payments received in respect of such Blocker Pre-BCA Covered Tax Assets and Exchange Covered Tax Assets (the intention of the parties being to avoid duplicative payments and maintain records sufficient to allow the Corporation to allocate Tax Benefit Payments consistent with the terms of this Section 3.3(a)).

(b) After taking into account Section 3.3(a), if for any reason the Corporation does not fully satisfy its payment obligations to make Tax Benefit Payments due under this Agreement in respect of a particular Taxable Year (for example, as a result of having insufficient cash to make the Tax Benefit Payments due hereunder), then the Corporation and the TRA Parties agree that (i) the Corporation shall make payments due hereunder to the TRA Parties in respect of a Taxable Year in the same proportion as such payments would have been made if the relevant payment had been made in full by the Corporation, and (ii) no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of any Taxable Year until all Tax Benefit Payments in respect of prior Taxable Years have been paid.

(c) To the extent the Corporation makes a payment to a TRA Party in respect of a particular Taxable Year under Section 3.1(a) of this Agreement (taking into account Sections 3.3(a) and (b)) in an amount in excess of the amount of such payment that should have been made to the TRA Party in respect of such Taxable Year, then (i) the TRA Party shall not receive further payments under Section 3.1(a) until the TRA Party has forgone an amount of payments equal to such excess and (ii) the Corporation shall pay the amount of the TRA Party’s forgone payments to other TRA Parties (to the extent applicable) in a manner such that each of the other TRA Parties, to the extent possible, shall have received aggregate payments under Sections 3.1(a) and (b) in the amount it would have received if there had been no excess payment to the TRA Party.

Section 3.4. Withholding. The Corporation and its affiliates and representatives shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment that is payable to any TRA Party pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld with respect to the making of such payment in accordance with the Code or any provision of U.S. state, local or foreign tax law (including for this purpose any withholding required by the Corporation or its affiliates that may be required in connection with an Exchange). To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and promptly paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid by the Corporation to the relevant TRA Party. The Corporation shall provide evidence of such payment to each TRA Party in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required, to the extent that such evidence is available. Each TRA Party shall promptly provide the Corporation with any applicable tax forms and certifications reasonably requested by the Corporation in connection with determining whether any such deductions and withholdings are required under the Code or any provision of U.S. state, local or foreign tax law. The Corporation will consider in good faith any applicable

certificates, forms or documentation provided by a TRA Party that in such TRA Party’s reasonable determination reduce or eliminate any such withholding.

ARTICLE IV.

TERMINATION

Section 4.1. Early Termination of Agreement; Breach of Agreement.

(a) With the prior written approval of the Board (or any Person(s) to whom the Board has delegated such authority), the Corporation may terminate this Agreement with respect to all amounts payable to the TRA Parties at any time by paying to each TRA Party the Early Termination Payment in respect of the TRA Party; provided, however, that (i) this Agreement shall only terminate pursuant to this Section 4.1(a) upon the receipt in full of the Early Termination Payment by the TRA Parties, (ii) the Corporation shall deliver an Early Termination Notice only if it is able to make all required Early Termination Payments under this Agreement, and (iii) the Corporation may withdraw any notice to execute its termination rights under this Section 4.1(a) prior to the time at which any Early Termination Payment has been paid.

(b) In the event that the Corporation breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement, whether as a result of a failure to make any payment when due, a failure to honor any other material obligation required hereunder or by operation of law as a result of the rejection of this Agreement in a case commenced under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, and the Corporation fails to cure such breach within 20 Business Days of the TRA Party Representative informing the Corporation of such breach, then, at the election of the TRA Party Representative, all obligations hereunder shall be accelerated and such obligations shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such breach. Procedures similar to the procedures of Section 4.2 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, with respect to the determination of the amounts payable by the Corporation pursuant to this Section 4.1(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Corporation breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement, the TRA Party Representative shall be entitled to elect on behalf of all TRA Parties to receive the amounts referred to in this Section 4.1(b) or to seek specific performance of the terms of this Agreement. The parties agree that the failure to make any payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three (3) months of the date such payment is due shall be deemed to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement, and that it will not be considered to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement to make a payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three (3) months of the date such payment is due. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it shall not be a breach of a material obligation of this Agreement if the Corporation fails to make any Tax Benefit Payment when due to the extent that the Corporation has insufficient funds to make such payment; provided, (i) the Corporation has used reasonable efforts to obtain such funds (including by causing the Company or any other Subsidiaries of the Company to distribute or lend funds to facilitate such payment, and by accessing any revolving credit facilities or other sources of available credit to fund any such amounts) and (ii) that the interest provisions of Section 5.3 shall apply to such late payment (unless the Corporation does not have sufficient funds to make such payment as a result of limitations imposed by any Senior Obligations, in which case Section 5.3 shall apply, but the Default Rate shall be replaced by the Agreed Rate).

(c) In connection with a Change of Control, all obligations under this Agreement with respect to the applicable TRA Parties shall be accelerated and such obligations shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the closing date of the Change of Control. Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, with respect to the determination of the amounts payable by the Corporation.

Section 4.2. Early Termination Notice. If the Corporation chooses to exercise its right of early termination under Section 4.1(a) above, the Corporation shall deliver to the TRA Party Representative written notice of such intention to exercise such right (“Early Termination Notice”). In addition, if the Corporation chooses to exercise its right of early termination under Section 4.1(a) above, or the obligations under this Agreement are accelerated

 

E-17


Table of Contents

under Section 4.1(b) or Section 4.1(c) above, the Corporation shall deliver to the TRA Party Representative a schedule (the “Early Termination Schedule”) showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the Early Termination Payment due to each TRA Party. Such Early Termination Schedule shall become final and binding on all parties consistent with the procedures described in Section 2.3(a). The date on which the Early Termination Schedule becomes final shall be the “Early Termination Effective Date.”

Section 4.3. Payment upon Early Termination.

(a) Within three (3) calendar days after an Early Termination Effective Date, the Corporation shall pay to the TRA Parties an amount equal to the Early Termination Payment in respect of such TRA Party; provided, however, that any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement as a result of a Change of Control shall be paid concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control. Such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated by the TRA Party or as otherwise agreed by the Corporation and such TRA Party.

(b) “Early Termination Payment” in respect of a TRA Party shall equal (i) the present value, discounted at the Early Termination Rate, as of the date of the Early Termination Notice, of all Tax Benefit Payments in respect of such TRA Party that would be required to be paid by the Corporation beginning from the date of the Early Termination Notice and assuming that the Valuation Assumptions in respect of such TRA Party are applied and that each such Tax Benefit Payment for each relevant Taxable Year would be paid on the due date (including extensions) under applicable law as of the Early Termination Date for filing of IRS Form 1120 (or any successor form) of the Corporation for each such Taxable Year, plus (ii) any Tax Benefit Payment due and payable with respect to such TRA Party that is unpaid as of the date of the Early Termination Notice.

(c) Upon the payment of the Early Termination Payment by the Corporation to a TRA Party, the Corporation shall not have any further payment obligations under this Agreement in respect of such TRA Party.

ARTICLE V.

SUBORDINATION; CERTAIN TAX COVENANTS; LATE PAYMENTS

Section 5.1. Subordination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment required to be made by the Corporation under this Agreement shall rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to any principal, interest, or other amounts due and payable in respect of any obligations owed in respect of secured or unsecured indebtedness for borrowed money of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries (“Senior Obligations”) and shall rank pari passu in right of payment with all current or future unsecured obligations of the Corporation that are not Senior Obligations. To the extent that any payment under this Agreement is not permitted to be made at the time payment is due as a result of this Section 5.1 and the terms of the agreements governing Senior Obligations, such payment obligation nevertheless shall accrue for the benefit of the applicable TRA Parties and the Corporation shall make such payments at the first opportunity that such payments are permitted to be made in accordance with the terms of the Senior Obligations (it being understood that interest shall accrue on the amount of such unpaid obligation in accordance with the terms hereof). Payments under any tax receivable agreement or similar agreement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement) entered into after the date hereof or as part of any transaction entered into after the date hereof in which the Corporation, the Company or their Subsidiaries would be required to pay the parties thereto for tax attributes shall be subordinate to all payments owed pursuant to this Agreement, and no such payments shall be made for so long as the Corporation has any current unpaid obligation pursuant this Agreement. The Corporation shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain sufficient available funds for the purpose of making required payments under this Agreement and avoid entering into credit agreements or Senior Obligations that could be reasonably anticipated to materially delay the timing of any payments under this Agreement.

Section 5.2. Certain Tax Covenants.

(a) The Corporation hereby agrees and warrants to each TRA Party (i) that it will not cause the Company or any material Subsidiary of the Company to convert into, or elect to be treated as, a corporation for Tax purposes without the prior written consent of the TRA Party Representative, (ii) that it will not cause the Company to contribute any of its material assets into one or more Subsidiaries that are treated as corporations for Tax purposes, or cause the Company to liquidate or distribute in kind any of its material non-cash assets to its members, without the prior written consent of the TRA Party Representative, and (iii) that it will cause the Company, and any material Subsidiary that is treated as a partnership for Tax purposes, to make valid Section 754 elections (and all comparable elections under applicable state and local tax law) for its first Taxable Year ending after the date of this Agreement and it will not seek to revoke any such election until the Corporation has received all material tax benefits from all Exchange Party Basis Adjustments and Imputed Interest in respect of which the Corporation may be required to make any payments under this Agreement to the TRA Parties.

(b) The Corporation hereby agrees that prior to (i) any proposed Interest Sale (as defined in Section 5.2(c)) or (ii) any proposed sale or other disposition of all or any substantial part of the non-cash assets of the Company, it shall deliver to each TRA Party notice of such proposed transaction at least thirty (30) days prior to the consummation thereof and afford each TRA Party that still holds Company Units the opportunity to Exchange all or part of such Company Units prior to such date.

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, (i) any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Corporation’s interest in the Company (an “Interest Sale”) shall be deemed to be comprised of a sale or other disposition of a pro rata portion of each of the separate interests held by the Corporation (i.e., the original interest of the Corporation as of the date of this Agreement and each additional interest acquired hereafter by Exchange or otherwise), regardless of whether such separate interests can be (or are) identified and separately conveyed, and (ii) notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, for purposes of determining the payments due to the TRA Parties hereunder attributable to such Interest Sale, each such separate interest that was acquired from a TRA Party pursuant to an Exchange shall be treated as a Reference Asset and the Exchange Party Basis Adjustment with respect thereto shall be the excess of the tax basis of the Corporation in such interest immediately after such Exchange over the tax basis of such TRA Party in the applicable Company Units immediately before such Exchange (with such Exchange Party Basis Adjustment to be increased as appropriate to reflect payments by the Corporation to such TRA Party pursuant to this Agreement and to be decreased as appropriate to reflect the depreciation or amortization attributable to the correlative Exchange Party Basis Adjustments to the underlying assets of the Company).

Section 5.3. Late Payments by the Corporation. The amount of all or any portion of any Tax Benefit Payment, Early Termination Payment or other payment under this Agreement not made to the TRA Parties when due under the terms of this Agreement shall be payable together with any interest thereon, computed at the Default Rate and commencing from the date on which such Tax Benefit Payment, Early Termination Payment or other payment was due and payable.

ARTICLE VI.

TAX MATTERS; CONSISTENCY; COOPERATION

Section 6.1. Participation in the Corporation’s and the Company’s Tax Matters. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement or the Company LLC Agreement, the Corporation shall have full responsibility for, and sole discretion over, all Tax matters concerning the Corporation, the Company and their Subsidiaries, including the preparation, filing or amending of any Tax Return and defending, contesting or settling any issue pertaining to Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

(i) the Corporation shall notify the TRA Party Representative in writing of the commencement of, and keep the TRA Party Representative reasonably informed with respect to, the portion of any audit of the

 

E-19


Table of Contents

Corporation, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries by a Taxing Authority the outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially affect the rights and obligations of a TRA Party under this Agreement, including the Tax Benefit Payments payable to TRA Parties,

(ii) shall provide to the TRA Party Representative reasonable opportunity (at the cost and expense of the TRA Party Representative, on behalf of the TRA Parties) to participate in or provide information and other input to the Corporation, the Company and their Subsidiaries, as applicable, and their respective advisors concerning the conduct of any such portion of such audit, which the Corporation, the Company and their Subsidiaries (including their advisors) shall consider in good faith; and

(iii) the Corporation, the Company and their Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall not enter into any settlement with respect to any such portion of such audit that could have a material adverse effect on the TRA Parties’ rights to receive payments under this Agreement without the written consent of the TRA Party Representative, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 6.2. Reconciliation. In the event that the Corporation and the TRA Party Representative are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to a Schedule (a “Reconciliation Dispute”), the Reconciliation Dispute shall be submitted for determination to a nationally recognized expert (the “Expert”) in the particular area of disagreement mutually acceptable to such parties. The Expert shall be a partner or principal in a nationally recognized accounting firm. If the Corporation and the TRA Party Representative are unable to agree on an Expert within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt by the respondent(s) of written notice of a Reconciliation Dispute, the selection of an Expert shall be treated as a dispute subject to Section 7.8 and an arbitration panel shall pick an Expert. The Expert shall resolve any matter relating to a Schedule or an amendment thereto as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within thirty (30) calendar days after the matter has been submitted to the Expert for resolution. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the matter is not resolved before any payment that is the subject of a disagreement would be due (in the absence of such disagreement) or any Tax Return reflecting the subject of a disagreement is due, the undisputed amount shall be paid on the date prescribed by this Agreement and such Tax Return may be filed as prepared by the Corporation, subject to adjustment or amendment upon resolution. The costs and expenses relating to the engagement of such Expert or amending any Tax Return shall be borne by the Corporation except as provided in the next sentence. The Corporation and the TRA Party Representative shall bear their own costs and expenses of such proceeding, unless (i) the Expert entirely adopts the position of the TRA Party Representative, in which case the Corporation shall reimburse the TRA Party Representative for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding, or (ii) the Expert entirely adopts the Corporation’s position, in which case Tax Benefit Payments to the TRA Parties that would have increased Tax Benefit Payments if the position of the TRA Party Representative had been adopted shall be reduced proportionately in the aggregate by any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding. The Expert shall finally determine any Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be binding on the Corporation and the TRA Parties and may be entered and enforced in any court having competent jurisdiction.

Section 6.3. Consistency. The Corporation and the TRA Parties agree to report and cause to be reported for all purposes, including federal, state and local Tax purposes and financial reporting purposes, all Tax-related items (including, without limitation, the Exchange Party Basis Adjustments, Blocker Party Basis Adjustments and each Tax Benefit Payment) in a manner consistent with that specified in any Schedule finalized consistent with the terms of this Agreement, unless otherwise required by a contrary Determination by an applicable Taxing Authority.

Section 6.4. Cooperation. Each of the Corporation, the Company and the TRA Parties shall (a) furnish to the other parties in a timely manner such information, documents and other materials as the other party may reasonably request for purposes of making any determination or computation necessary or appropriate under this Agreement, preparing any Tax Return or defending any audit, examination or controversy with any Taxing Authority, (b) make itself reasonably available to the other parties and their respective representatives to provide explanations of documents and material and such other information as the other party or its representatives may

reasonably request in connection with any of the matters described in clause (a) above, and (c) reasonably cooperate in connection with any such matter, and the Corporation shall reimburse each TRA Party for any reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this Section 6.4 at the request of the Corporation or the Company.

Section 6.5. Tax Characterization. The parties intend that (a) each Exchange shall give rise to Exchange Party Basis Adjustments and (b) payments to Exchange TRA Parties pursuant to this Agreement with respect to an Exchange (except with respect to amounts that constitute Imputed Interest) shall be treated as consideration in respect of such Exchange that give rise to additional Exchange Party Basis Adjustments.

Section 6.6. Change in Tax Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, in connection with an actual or proposed change in Tax law, a TRA Party reasonably believes that the existence of this Agreement could increase the amount of income (other than income arising from receipt of a payment under this Agreement) recognized by such TRA Party upon any Exchange which is treated as ordinary income rather than capital gain (or otherwise taxed at ordinary income rates) for U.S. federal income and all applicable state and local Tax purposes or would have other material adverse Tax consequences to the TRA Party and/or its direct or indirect owners, then at the election of such TRA Party and to the extent specified by the TRA Party, this Agreement (i) shall cease to have further effect with respect to such TRA Party, (ii) shall not apply to an Exchange by the TRA Party occurring after a date specified by it, or (iii) shall otherwise be amended in a manner determined by the TRA Party to waive any benefits to which such TRA Party would otherwise be entitled under this Agreement, provided that such amendment shall not result in an increase in or acceleration of payments under this Agreement at any time as compared to the amounts and times of payments that would have been due in the absence of such amendment or increase the Corporation’s administrative burden in complying with this Agreement.

hereunder if the Corporation had exercised its right of Early Termination on the date of the most recent Exchange prior to such amendment (excluding, for purposes of this sentence, all payments made to any TRA Party pursuant to this Agreement since the date of such most recent Exchange); provided, however, that no such amendment shall be effective if such amendment would have a disproportionate effect on the payments certain TRA Parties will or may receive under this Agreement unless all such disproportionately affected TRA Parties consent in writing to such amendment; provided, further, that amendment of the definition of Change of Control or any approval rights granted to the Independent Directors will also require the written approval of a majority of the Independent Directors.

(a) Any and all disputes which cannot be settled amicably after good faith negotiations, including any ancillary claims of any party, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the validity, negotiation, execution, interpretation, performance or non-performance of this Agreement (including the validity, scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision) shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator in the state of Delaware in accordance with the then-existing Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce. If the parties to the dispute fail to agree on the selection of an arbitrator within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of the request for arbitration, the International Chamber of Commerce shall make the appointment.

of any kind (including opinions or other Tax analyses) that are provided to the TRA Party relating to such Tax treatment and Tax structure.

Section 7.11. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the interest paid or agreed to be paid hereunder with respect to amounts due to any TRA Party hereunder shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any TRA Party shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the Tax Benefit Payment, Advance Payment or Early Termination Payment, as applicable (but in each case exclusive of any component thereof comprising interest) or, if it exceeds such unpaid non-interest amount, refunded to the Corporation. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by any TRA Party exceeds the Maximum Rate, such TRA Party may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the payment obligations owed by the Corporation to such TRA Party hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws.

(a) The rights and obligations of the each TRA Party hereunder are several and not joint with the rights and obligations of any other Person. A TRA Party shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Person hereunder, nor shall a TRA Party have the right to enforce the rights or obligations of any other Person hereunder (other than the Corporation). Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any TRA Party pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the TRA Parties acting as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the TRA Parties are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such rights or obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Corporation acknowledges that the TRA Parties are not acting in concert or as a group and will not assert any such claim with respect to such rights or obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Except as otherwise explicitly provided in this Agreement, the actions of a TRA Party pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement shall be binding only with respect to such TRA Party and not with respect to the any other TRA Party. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no TRA Party shall owe any duties (fiduciary or otherwise) to any other TRA Party or any other Person in determining to take or refrain from taking any action or decision under or in connection with this Agreement.

Section 3.05. Authority of Members. No Member (other than the Managing Member, in its capacity as such) shall participate in or have any control over the business of the Company, except as expressly provided herein. Except as expressly provided herein, the Units do not confer any rights upon the Members to participate in the affairs of the Company described in this Agreement. No Member (other than the Managing Member) shall have any right to vote on any matter involving the Company, including with respect to any merger, consolidation, combination or conversion of the Company, or any other matter that a Member might otherwise have the ability to vote on or consent with respect to under the Act, at law, in equity or otherwise. The conduct, control and management of the Company shall be vested exclusively in the Managing Member, subject to the terms of this Agreement. In all matters relating to or arising out of the conduct of the operation of the Company, the decision of the Managing Member shall be the decision of the Company. Except as required or permitted by Law, or expressly provided herein, including in the ultimate sentence of this Section 3.05 or by separate agreement with the Company, no Member who is not also the Managing Member (and acting in such capacity) shall take any part in the management or control of the operation or business of the Company in its capacity as a Member, nor shall any Member who is not also the Managing Member (and acting in such capacity) have any right, authority or power to act for or on behalf of or bind the Company in his or its capacity as a Member in any respect or assume any obligation or responsibility of the Company or of any other Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may from time to time appoint one or more Members as Officers or employ one or more Members as employees, and such Members, in their capacity as officers or employees of the Company (and not, for clarity, in their capacity as Members of the Company), may take part in the control and management of the business of the Company to the extent such authority and power to act for or on behalf of the Company has been delegated to them by the Managing Member.

Section 3.06. Fiduciary Duties.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, except as set forth in Section 3.06(b), (i) the Managing Member shall, in its capacity as Managing Member, and not in any other capacity, have the same fiduciary duties to the Company and the Members as a member of the board of directors of a Delaware corporation; and (ii) each officer of the Company shall, in his or her capacity as such, and not in any other capacity, have the same fiduciary duties to the Company and Members as an officer of a Delaware corporation

(b) In connection with the performance of its duties as the Managing Member of the Company, the Managing Member (solely in its capacity as such) will owe to the other Members the same fiduciary duties as it would owe to the stockholders of a Delaware corporation if it were a member of the board of directors of such a corporation and the other Members were stockholders of such corporation. The Managing Member will use commercially reasonable and appropriate efforts and means, as determined in good faith by the Managing Member, to minimize any conflict of interest between the Members, on the one hand, and the stockholders of the Managing Member, on the other hand, and to effectuate any transaction that involves or affects any of the Company, the Managing Member, the Members and/or the stockholders of the Managing Member in a manner that does not (i) disadvantage the Members of their interests relative to the stockholders of the Managing Member; (ii) advantage the stockholders of the Managing Member relative to the Members; or (iii) treat the Members and the stockholders of the Managing Member differently.

ARTICLE IV

DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 4.01. Distributions

(a) The Managing Member, in its sole discretion, may authorize distributions by the Company to the Class A Members, which distributions shall be made pro rata in accordance with the Members’ respective Class A Units (other than Unvested Earnout Units) on the date the distribution is made.

 

G-18


Table of Contents

(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 4.01(a) of this Agreement to the contrary, no distribution shall be made in respect of any Unvested Earnout Units. However, upon the vesting of Unvested Earnout Units the holder of each applicable Earnout Unit shall be entitled to a cash payment from the Company in an amount equal to the distributions such Member would have received pursuant to Section 4.01(a) had such Unvested Earnout Unit been vested beginning at the Fathom Effective Time and ending on the day prior to the date such Unvested Earnout Unit vests.

(c) Tax Distributions.

(i) With respect to each Fiscal Year or portion thereof ending after the Effective Date, the Company shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, make cash distributions (“Tax Distributions”) to each Member in an amount to ensure that each such Member receives a distribution at least equal to such Member’s Assumed Tax Liability, if any, with respect to the relevant taxable period to which the distribution relates. For the avoidance of doubt, such Tax Distributions shall be determined in accordance with Section 4.01(c)(ii). Tax Distributions pursuant to this Section 4.1(c)(i) shall be estimated by the Company on a quarterly basis and, to the extent feasible, shall be distributed to the Members (together with a statement showing the calculation of such Tax Distribution and an estimate of the Company’s net taxable income allocable to each Member for such period) on a quarterly basis five business days prior to April 15th, June 15th, September 15th and January 15th (of the succeeding year) (or such other dates for which individuals are required to make quarterly estimated tax payments for U.S. federal income tax purposes) (each, a “Quarterly Tax Distribution”); provided, that the foregoing shall not restrict the Company from making a Tax Distribution on any other date. Quarterly Tax Distributions shall take into account the estimated taxable income or loss of the Company for the Fiscal Year through the end of the relevant quarterly period. A final accounting for Tax Distributions shall be made for each Fiscal Year after the allocation of the Company’s actual net taxable income or loss has been determined and any shortfall in the amount of Tax Distributions a Member received for such Fiscal Year based on such final accounting shall promptly be distributed to such Member. For the avoidance of doubt, any excess Tax Distributions a Member receives with respect to any Fiscal Year shall reduce future Tax Distributions otherwise required to be made to such Member with respect to any subsequent Fiscal Year.

(ii) A Tax Distribution to a Member in respect of any Unit shall be charged against current or future distributions to which such Member would otherwise have been entitled under Section 4.01(a) or Section 9.03(c) in respect of such Unit; provided, however, that all Units shall participate in distributions made pursuant to this Section 4.01(c) on a pro rata basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) any distributions made pursuant to this Section 4.01(c) shall be made to the Members on a pro rata basis, (B) to the extent of Available Cash, the pro rata amount to be distributed to each Member shall be calculated based on the distribution to the Member that would have the highest Tax Distribution under this Section 4.01(c) on a per-Unit basis, calculated without regard to this sentence and (C) if there is insufficient Available Cash to make all of the distributions described in clause (B), the amount that would have been distributed to each Member pursuant to clause (B) shall be reduced on a pro rata basis and the Company shall make future Tax Distributions as soon as there is sufficient Available Cash to pay the remaining portion of the Tax Distributions to which such Members were otherwise entitled under clause (B).

(iii) In the event of any audit by a taxing authority that has been finally settled and as such, affects the calculation of any Member’s Assumed Tax Liability for any taxable year (other than an audit conducted pursuant to the Partnership Audit Provisions for which no election is made pursuant to Section 6226 thereof and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder), or in the event the Company files an amended tax return, each Member’s Assumed Tax Liability with respect to such year shall be recalculated by giving effect to such event (for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account interest or penalties). Any shortfall in the amount of Tax Distributions the Members and former Members received for the relevant taxable years based on such recalculated Assumed Tax Liability promptly shall be distributed to such Members and the successors of such former Members, except, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent Distributions were made to such Members and former Members pursuant to Section 4.01(a) and this Section 4.01(c) in the relevant taxable years sufficient to cover such shortfall.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Managing Member shall cause any distributions paid to any Subsidiary of the Managing Member who holds Units to distribute the full amount of such distribution to the Managing Member, and the Managing Member shall take all actions necessary to cause such distributions.

Section 4.02. Distributions Upon Liquidation. Distributions made upon dissolution of the Company shall be made as provided in Section 9.03.

Section 4.03. Limitations on Distribution.

TAX ALLOCATIONS; TAX MATTERS

Section 5.01. Initial Capital Contributions. The Members have made, on or prior to the date hereof, Capital Contributions and, in exchange, the Company has issued to the Members the number of Class A Units, including the number of Earnout Units (if applicable), as specified in the Schedule of Members (as of the Effective Date).

Section 5.02. No Additional Capital Contributions. Except as otherwise provided in this Article V, no Member shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to the Company without the consent of such Member or permitted to make additional capital contributions to the Company without the consent of the Managing Member, which may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion.

Section 5.03. Capital Accounts. A separate Capital Account shall be established and maintained for each Member in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). The Capital Account of each Member shall be credited with such Member’s Capital Contributions, if any, all Profits allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 5.04 and any items of income or gain which are specially allocated pursuant to Section 5.05; and shall be debited with all Losses allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 5.04, any items of loss or deduction of the Company specially allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 5.05, and all cash and the Carrying Value of any property (net of liabilities assumed by such Member and the liabilities to which such property is subject) distributed by the Company to such Member. Any references in any Section of this Agreement to the Capital Account of a Member shall be deemed to refer to such Capital Account as the same may be credited or debited from time to time as set forth above. In the event of any transfer of any interest in the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred interest. Upon the vesting of any Earnout Units upon an Earnout Vesting Event, the parties intend that the allocations and capital maintenance rules shall be governed under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3 with adjustments being made in accordance with principles similar to those set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s) and consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder in order to effectuate the Members’ agreed upon economic sharing of items within the Company.

Section 5.04. Allocations of Profits and Losses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Profits and Losses (and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain or loss or deduction of the Company) shall be allocated in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Member after giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 5.05 is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to

(i) the distributions that would be made pursuant to Section 9.03 if the Company were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets sold for cash equal to their Carrying Value in a hypothetical liquidation, all Company liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each non-recourse liability to the Carrying Value of the assets

securing such liability) and the net assets of the Company were distributed to the Members pursuant to this Agreement, minus (ii) such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such allocations may be adjusted as reasonably deemed necessary by the Managing Member, acting in good faith, to give economic effect to the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 5.05. Special Allocations. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article V:

(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain or Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (determined in accordance with the principles of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(d) and 1.704-2(i)) during any Company taxable year, the Members shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to their respective shares of such net decrease during such year, determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 5.05(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in such Treasury Regulations Sections and shall be interpreted consistently therewith; including that no chargeback shall be required to the extent of the exceptions provided in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(i)(4).

(b) Qualified Income Offset. If any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the deficit balance in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account Balance created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as promptly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.05(b) shall be made only to the extent that a Member would have a deficit Adjusted Capital Account Balance in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article V have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.05(b) were not in this Agreement. This Section 5.05(b) is intended to comply with the “qualified income offset” requirement of the Code and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Gross Income Allocation. If any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any taxable year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Member is obligated to restore, if any, pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704- 2(i)(5), each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.05(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that a Member would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article V have been tentatively made as if Section 5.05(b) and this Section 5.05(c) were not in this Agreement.

(d) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their interests in the Company.

(e) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the liability to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(j).

(f) Ameliorative Allocations. Any special allocations of income or gain pursuant to Sections 5.05(b) or 5.05(c) hereof shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations pursuant to Section 5.04 and this Section 5.05(f), so that the net amount of any items so allocated and all other items allocated to each Member shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each Member if such allocations pursuant to Sections 5.05(b) or 5.05(c) had not occurred.

Table of Contents

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (1) no allocation (of Profits or Losses or otherwise) shall be made in respect of any Earnout Units in determining Capital Accounts unless and until such Units are vested upon the occurrence of an Earnout Vesting Event, if any, and (2) in the event the Carrying Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to clause (d) of the definition of Carrying Value, any Profits or Losses resulting from such adjustment shall, in the manner reasonably determined by the Managing Member, be allocated among the Members such that the Capital Account balance relating to each Class A Unit (excluding any Unvested Earnout Units) is equal in amount immediately after making such allocation, after taking into account the non-distribution amounts (as applicable) in accordance with principles similar to those set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704- 1(b)(2)(iv)(s); provided, that if the foregoing allocations pursuant to clause (2) are insufficient to cause the Capital Account balance relating to each Class A Unit to be so equal in amount, then the Managing Member, in its reasonable discretion, shall cause a Capital Account reallocation in accordance with principles similar to those set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(3) to cause the Capital Account balance relating to each Class A Unit to be so equal in amount.

Section 5.06. Tax Allocations. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as the corresponding items of Profits and Losses and specially allocated items are allocated for Capital Account purposes; provided that in the case of any asset the Carrying Value of which differs from its adjusted tax basis for U.S. federal income tax purposes, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall be allocated, solely for income tax purposes, to account for such difference using the “traditional method” without curative allocations under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b). Section 5.07. Tax Advances. To the extent the Managing Member reasonably believes that the Company is required by law to withhold or to make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Member, or the Company is subjected to tax itself by reason of the status of any Member (including any taxes paid pursuant to Section 6225 of the Code) (“Tax Advances”), the Managing Member may cause the Company to withhold such amounts and cause the Company to make such tax payments as so required. All Tax Advances made on behalf of a Member shall be repaid by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to such Member or, if such distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by so reducing the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to such Member. For all purposes of this Agreement such Member shall be treated as having received the amount of the distribution that is equal to the Tax Advance. Each Member hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from and against any liability (including any liability for taxes, penalties, additions to tax or interest, but excluding any penalties, additions to tax or interest imposed as a result of the Company’s failure to withhold or make a tax payment on behalf of such Member which withholding or payment is required pursuant to applicable Law) with respect to income or Tax Advances attributable to such Member; provided, that any remaining Tax Advance with respect to any Member shall be required to be repaid by such Member in full prior to or in connection with (and as a condition of) any Transfer or any Class A Exchange. The obligation of a Member set forth in this Section 5.07 shall survive the withdrawal of a Member from the Company or any Transfer of a Member’s interest.

Section 5.08. Tax Matters. The Managing Member shall act as or designate a Person to act as the “partnership representative” pursuant to the Partnership Audit Provisions (the “Partnership Representative”) and such Person shall have the power to exercise any and all rights that it is or may be entitled to exercise in that capacity. The Partnership Representative shall keep the Continuing Members timely and reasonably informed as to all material tax audits, actions, examinations or proceedings relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (“Tax Proceedings”). The Partnership Representative shall have the exclusive right to represent the Company in respect of any Tax Proceedings. The Members shall cooperate as reasonably requested by the Partnership Representative in connection with any election or decision made by the Partnership Representative acting in that capacity (including by filing amended tax returns and providing information requested).

Section 5.09. Other Allocation Provisions. Certain of the foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such regulations.

(ii) To the extent that, on or before the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date, an applicable Earnout Vesting Event has not occurred with respect to an Earnout Unit (and as a result such Earnout Unit is an Unvested Earnout Unit), then immediately and without any further action under this Agreement, on the date that is the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date, any such Earnout Units shall automatically be forfeited and surrendered to the Company and be canceled and extinguished for no consideration and each corresponding share of Class B Common Stock shall automatically be forfeited and surrendered to Pubco and be canceled and extinguished for no consideration.

(iii) [Reserved.]

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.01(g)(i) or Section 7.01(g)(iii), this Section 7.01(g) shall not apply to (x) the issuance and distribution to holders of shares of Pubco Common Stock of rights to purchase Equity Securities of Pubco under a “poison pill” or similar shareholder rights plan (and upon exchange of Class A Units for Class A Common Stock, such Class A Common Stock shall be issued together with a corresponding right under such plan), (y) the issuance under Pubco’s employee benefit plans of any warrants, options, stock appreciation right, restricted stock units, performance based award or other rights to acquire Equity Securities of Pubco or rights or property that may be converted into or settled in Equity Securities of Pubco, but shall in each of the foregoing cases apply to the issuance of Equity Securities of Pubco in connection with the exercise or settlement of such warrants, options, stock appreciation right, restricted stock units, performance based awards (including as set forth in clause (iii) below, as applicable) or (z) the issuance of Class A Common Stock upon the conversion of Class C Common Stock (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) upon the closing of the Equity Transactions or any other issuances in connection with the Equity Transactions. Restricted stock granted under any such employee benefit plan shall be treated as outstanding for purposes of Section 7.01(g)(i).

(iii) In the event any outstanding Equity Security of Pubco is exercised or otherwise converted and, as a result, any shares of Class A Common Stock or other Equity Securities of Pubco are issued, (x) the corresponding Equity Security outstanding at the Company, if any, shall be similarly exercised or otherwise converted, if applicable, (y) an equivalent number of Class A Units or equivalent Equity Securities of the Company shall be issued to Pubco, and (z) Pubco shall concurrently contribute to the Company, the net proceeds received by Pubco from any such exercise or conversion (provided, that, the Company shall not be required to reimburse hereunder any costs or expenses which were netted off the gross proceeds received).

(h) Pubco Debt Issuance. If at any time Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) issues Debt Securities, Pubco or such Subsidiary shall transfer to the Company, the net proceeds received by Pubco or such Subsidiary, as applicable, in exchange for such Debt Securities in a manner that directly or indirectly burdens the Company with the repayment of the Debt Securities (provided, that, the Company shall not be required to reimburse hereunder any costs or expenses which were netted off the gross proceeds received).

(i) New Company Issuances. Except pursuant to Section 8.04, (x) the Company may not issue any additional Units to Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) unless (i) substantially simultaneously therewith Pubco or such Subsidiary issues or transfers an equal number of newly-issued shares of Class A Common Stock (or relevant Equity Security of such Subsidiary) to another Person or Persons, and (ii) such issuance is in accordance with Section 7.01(g), and (y) the Company may not issue any other Equity Securities of the Company to Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) unless (i) substantially simultaneously therewith Pubco or such Subsidiary issues or transfers, to another Person, an equal number of newly-issued shares of Equity Securities of Pubco or such Subsidiary with substantially the same rights to dividends and distributions (including distributions upon liquidation) and other economic rights as those of such Equity Securities of the Company, and (ii) such issuance is in accordance with Section 7.01(g).

redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire from Pubco or such Subsidiary an equal number of Class A Units for the same price per security, if any, or (B) any other Equity Securities of Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) pursuant to a Board of Directors approved repurchase plan or program (or otherwise in connection with a transaction approved by the Board of Directors), provided that substantially simultaneously therewith, the Company shall redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire from Pubco or such Subsidiary an equal number of the corresponding class or series of Equity Securities of the Company with the same rights to dividends and distributions (including distributions upon liquidation) and other economic rights as those of such Equity Securities of Pubco or such Subsidiary for the same price per security, if any, and substantially equivalent form of consideration.

(ii) The Company may not redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire (x) any Class A Units from Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) unless substantially simultaneously Pubco or such Subsidiary redeems, repurchases or otherwise acquires pursuant to a repurchase plan or program approved by the Board of Directors (or otherwise in connection with a transaction approved by the Board of Directors) an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock for the same price per security from holders thereof or (y) any other Equity Securities of the Company from Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) unless substantially simultaneously Pubco or such Subsidiary redeems, repurchases or otherwise acquires pursuant to a repurchase plan or program approved by the Board of Directors (or otherwise in connection with a transaction approved by the Board of Directors) for the same price, and substantially equivalent form of consideration, per security an equal number of Equity Securities of Pubco (or such Subsidiary) of a corresponding class or series with substantially the same rights to dividends and distributions (including distributions upon liquidation) and other economic rights as those of such Equity Securities of Pubco or such Subsidiary.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), to the extent that any consideration payable by Pubco in connection with the redemption, repurchase or acquisition of any shares of Class A Common Stock or other Equity Securities of Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) consists (in whole or in part) of shares of Class A Common Stock or such other Equity Securities (including in connection with the cashless exercise of an option or warrant (or other convertible right or security)) other than under Pubco’s employee benefit plans for which there is no corresponding Class A Units or other Equity Securities of the Company, then the redemption, repurchase or acquisition of the corresponding Class A Units or other Equity Securities of the Company shall be effectuated in an equivalent manner.

(k) Equity Subdivisions and Combinations.

(i) The Company shall not in any manner effect any subdivision (by any equity split, equity distribution, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse equity split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of the outstanding Units unless approved by the Board of Directors and accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination, as applicable, of the outstanding Pubco Common Stock or other related class or series of Equity Security of Pubco, with corresponding changes made with respect to any other exchangeable or convertible Equity Securities of the Company and Pubco.

(ii) Except in accordance with Section 8.04(c), Pubco shall not in any manner effect any subdivision (by any equity split, equity distribution, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse equity split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of the outstanding Pubco Common Stock or any other class or series of Equity Security of Pubco, unless approved by the Board of Directors and accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination, as applicable, of the outstanding Units or other related class or series of Equity Security of the Company, with corresponding changes made with respect to any applicable exchangeable or convertible Equity Securities of the Company and Pubco.

For the avoidance of doubt, but subject to the rest of the provisions of this Section 7.01, the Company and Pubco (including in its capacity as the Managing Member of the Company) shall be permitted to undertake all actions, including an issuance, redemption, reclassification, distribution, division or recapitalization, with respect to the Units to maintain at all times a one-to-one ratio between (i) the number of Class A Units owned by Pubco and its Subsidiaries (excluding the Company’s Subsidiaries), directly or indirectly, and the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, and (ii) the number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock held by any Person and the number of Class A Units held by such Person (other than Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries, but excluding the Company’s Subsidiaries), disregarding, for purposes of maintaining the one-to-one ratios in clause (i), (A) options, rights or securities of Pubco issued under any plan involving the issuance of any Equity Securities that are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock, (B) treasury stock, or (C) preferred stock or other debt or equity securities (including warrants, options or rights) issued by Pubco that are convertible or into or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock (but in each case prior to such conversion or exchange).

Section 7.02. Register; Certificates; Legends. The Company shall maintain a schedule of Units, other Company securities and all Members setting forth: (i) the name and address of each Member; (ii) the aggregate number of Units and the aggregate number of each Class or series of Units or other Company securities; (iii) the aggregate number of Units and the aggregate number of each Class or series of Units or other Company securities held by each Member or Assignee; and (iv) the Capital Contributions made or deemed made by each Member (such schedule, as amended and/or restated in accordance with this Agreement, the “Schedule of Members”). To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Schedule of Members shall be the definitive record of ownership of each Unit and all relevant information with respect to each Member. Unless the Managing Member in its sole discretion shall determine otherwise, Units shall be uncertificated and recorded in the Schedule of Members. Certificates, if any, representing Units that are issued to any Member shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

THE SECURITIES PRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY OTHER STATE OR FOREIGN SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, OR TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AS SET FORTH IN THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT OF FATHOM HOLDCO, LLC DATED AS OF [•], AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME A COPY OF WHICH WILL BE FURNISHED BY FATHOM HOLDCO, LLC UPON REQUEST.

Section 7.03. Registered Members. The Company shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a Person listed on the Schedule of Members as the owner of Units for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in Units on the part of any other Person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the Act or other applicable Law.

Section 7.04. Reclassification Events of Pubco. If a Reclassification Event occurs, the Managing Member or its successor as a result of such Reclassification Event, as the case may be, shall, as and to the extent necessary, amend this Agreement in compliance with Section 11.12, and enter into any necessary supplementary or additional agreements, to ensure that, following the effective date of the Reclassification Event: (a) the exchange rights of holders of Units set forth in Section 8.04 provide that each Class A Unit (together with the surrender and delivery of one (1) share of Class B Common Stock) is exchangeable for the same amount and same type of property, securities or cash (or combination thereof) that one (1) share of Class A Common Stock (subject to Section 8.04(c)) becomes exchangeable for or converted into as a result of the Reclassification Event and (b) Pubco or the successor to Pubco as a result of such Reclassification Event, as applicable, is obligated to deliver such property, securities or cash upon such exchange. Pubco shall not consummate or agree to consummate any Reclassification Event unless the successor Person as a result of such Reclassification Event, if any, becomes obligated to comply with the obligations of Pubco (in whatever capacity) under this Agreement.

Section 8.02. [Reserved.]

Section 8.03. Member Transfers.

(a) No Member shall be permitted to Transfer all or any portion of its Units, except Transfers made in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.03(b). If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.03(a), all or any portion of a Member’s Units are Transferred by such Member in violation of this Section 8.03(a), involuntarily, by operation of Law or otherwise, the Transferee of such Units (or portion thereof) shall not be admitted to the Company as a Member nor be entitled to any rights as a Member under this Agreement, and the Transferor will continue to be bound by all obligations under this Agreement. Any attempted or purported Transfer of all or a portion of a Member’s Units in violation of this Section 8.03(a) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, be null and void ab initio and of no force or effect whatsoever. Subject to the restrictions set forth herein, (i) no shares of Class B Common Stock may be Transferred by a Member unless an equal number of Class A Units are Transferred therewith in accordance with this Agreement (including in respect of those Transfers permitted by Section 8.03(b)), and (ii) no Class A Units may be Transferred by a Member holding Class B Common Stock unless an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock are Transferred therewith in accordance with this Agreement (including in respect of those Transfers permitted by Section 8.03(b)).

(b) The Transfer restrictions contained in Section 8.03(a) shall not apply to any Transfer (each, a “Permitted Transfer”): (i) in connection with a Class A Exchange effected in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) by a Member to Pubco or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, or (iii) by a Member to any of such Member’s Permitted Transferees, in each case, in accordance with this Section 8.03, provided, however, that, following any Permitted Transfer pursuant to clause (iii), the restrictions contained in this Agreement will continue to apply to such Units and, as a condition to such Transfer, the Transferee shall be required to execute a joinder to this Agreement and agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. In the case of a Permitted Transfer of any Class A Units by a Continuing Member, such Transferring Member shall be required to Transfer an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock to such Transferee. All Permitted Transfers are subject to the additional limitations set forth in Section 8.06.

Section 8.04. Class A Exchanges.

(a) Right to Exchange for Class A Common Stock.

(i) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8.04(c), to any restrictions imposed by the Managing Member as provided in Section 8.06(b) and to the provisions of this Agreement, each Member holding Class A Units (together with its Affiliates, including other Continuing Members, and Permitted Transferees), other than the Managing Member and its Subsidiaries who shall not have the right to effect a Class A Exchange, (i) that is not a CORE Party or an Affiliate or Permitted Transferee thereof, shall be entitled to cause the Company to effect a Class A Exchange up to one (1) time per calendar quarter by delivering a Class A Exchange Notice to the Company and the Managing Member and (ii) that is a CORE Party or any Affiliate or Permitted Transferee thereof shall be entitled to cause the Company to effect a Class A Exchange up to two (2) times per calendar quarter, collectively, by delivering a Class A Exchange Notice to the Managing Member and to the Company. Any Class A Exchange under this Section 8.04 must be with respect to a number of Class A Units at least equal to the Maximum Exchange Amount.

(ii) For the avoidance of doubt, Unvested Earnout Units are not permitted to be exchanged pursuant to this Section 8.04, and in no event shall the Company or Pubco effect an exchange of an Earnout Unit unless and until an Earnout Vesting Event and Earnout Vesting Date has occurred with respect to such Earnout Unit and it has vested in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b) Exchange Procedures.

(i) A Class A Exchanging Member shall exercise its right to make a Class A Exchange as set forth in Section 8.04(a) above by providing such Class A Exchange Notice during normal business hours at the principal executive office of Pubco and the Company (or otherwise in accordance with Section 11.02). Within three (3) Business Days following its receipt of a Class A Exchange Notice, the Managing Member may elect to settle all or a portion of the Class A Exchanged Units in cash in an amount equal to the Class A Cash Amount (in lieu of shares of Class A Common Stock), by giving written notice of such election to the Class A Exchanging Member within such three (3) Business Day period (such notice, the “Cash Exchange Notice”). The Cash Exchange Notice shall set forth the portion of the Class A Exchanged Units subject to the Class A Exchange which shall be exchanged for cash in lieu of Class A Common Stock. To the extent any Class A Exchange relates to the exercise of the Class A Exchanging Member’s registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement, Pubco and the Company shall cooperate in good faith with such Class A Exchanging Member to exercise such Class A Exchange in a manner which preserves such Class A Exchanging Member’s rights thereunder. At any time following the delivery of a Cash Exchange Notice and prior to the Class A Exchange Date, the Managing Member may elect (by giving written notice of such election to the Class A Exchanging Member) to revoke the Cash Exchange Notice with respect to all or any portion of the Class A Exchanged Units and instead deliver the applicable Class A Exchanged Shares with respect to any such Class A Exchanged Units on the Class A Exchange Date.

(ii) [Reserved].

(iii) Each Class A Exchange shall be consummated on the Class A Exchange Date. On the Class A Exchange Date (to be effective immediately prior to the close of business on the Class A Exchange Date), (a) Pubco shall contribute to the Company for delivery to the Class A Exchanging Member (x) the Class A Exchanged Shares with respect to such Class A Exchanged Units not subject to a Cash Exchange Notice and (y) the Class A Cash Amount with respect to any Class A Exchanged Units subject to a Cash Exchange Notice, (b) the Class A Exchanging Member shall transfer and surrender the Class A Exchanged Units to the Company, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, (c) the Company shall issue to Pubco a number of Class A Units equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be delivered pursuant to clause (a)(x), (d) solely to the extent necessary in connection with a Class A Exchange, Pubco shall undertake all actions, including an issuance, reclassification, distribution, division or recapitalization, with respect to the Class A Common Stock necessary in order to maintain a one-to-one ratio between the number of Class A Units owned by Pubco, directly or indirectly, and the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, taking into account the issuance in clause (c), any Class A Exchanged Shares, and any other action taken in connection with this Section 8.04, (e) the Company shall (x) cancel the redeemed Class A Units which were Class A Exchanged Units held by the Class A Exchanging Member and (y) transfer to the Class A Exchanging Member the Class A Cash Amount and/or the Class A Exchanged Shares, as applicable, and (f) Pubco shall cancel the surrendered shares of Class B Common Stock. Upon the Class A Exchange of all of a Member’s Class A Units, such Class A Member shall cease to be a Class A Member of the Company.

(iv) The Company and each Class A Exchanging Member shall bear their own expenses in connection with the consummation of any Class A Exchange, except that the Company shall bear any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, any Class A Exchange; provided, however, that if any shares of Class A Common Stock are to be delivered in a name other than that of the Class A Exchanging Member, then such Class A Exchanging Member and/or the person in whose name such shares are to be delivered shall pay to the Company the amount of any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, such Class A Exchange or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid or is not payable (and shall indemnify the Company in the event such transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, such Class A Exchange are not so paid).

Table of Contents

(v) Pubco may adopt reasonable procedures for the implementation of the Class A Exchange provisions set forth in this Section 8.04; provided that without the consent of each Continuing Member, Pubco shall not adopt any procedures inconsistent with or that impair or adversely affect the rights of a Member to Exchange Class A Units pursuant to this Agreement. A Class A Exchanging Member may not revoke a Class A Exchange Notice delivered pursuant to Section 8.04(a) above without the consent of the Managing Member, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, additional restrictions may be imposed on Class A Exchanges by the Managing Member as provided in Section 8.06(b).

(c) Adjustment. If there is: (i) any subdivision (by any unit split, unit distribution, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse unit split, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) of the Class A Units that is not accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the Class A Common Stock; or (ii) any subdivision (by any stock split, stock dividend or distribution, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse stock split, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) of the Class A Common Stock that is not accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the Units, then, in each case, to the extent necessary to maintain the economic equivalency in the value surrendered for exchange and the value received, the Managing Member shall in good faith adjust the number of shares of Class A Common Stock for which a Class A Unit is entitled to be exchanged under this Section 8.04 accordingly. If there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the Class A Common Stock is converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, then upon any subsequent Class A Exchange, a Class A Exchanging Member shall be entitled to receive the amount of such security, securities or other property that such Class A Exchanging Member would have received if such Class A Exchange had occurred immediately prior to the effective date of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction, taking into account any adjustment as a result of any subdivision (by any split, distribution or dividend, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of such security, securities or other property that occurs after the effective time of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction. Except as may be required in the immediately preceding sentence, no adjustments in respect of distributions shall be made upon a Class A Exchange.

(d) Class A Common Stock to be Issued.

(i) Pubco shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon a Class A Exchange, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall be deliverable upon any such Class A Exchange; provided that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude the Company from satisfying its obligations in respect of the Class A Exchange by delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock which are held in the treasury of Pubco or any of its subsidiaries (other than the Company or any of its subsidiaries) or by delivery of purchased shares of Class A Common Stock (which may or may not be held in the treasury of Pubco or any subsidiary thereof). Pubco and the Company covenant that all Class A Common Stock issued upon a Class A Exchange will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

(ii) Pubco and the Company covenant and agree that, to the extent that a Registration Statement under the Securities Act is effective and available for shares of Class A Common Stock to be delivered with respect to any Class A Exchange, shares that have been registered under the Securities Act shall be delivered in respect of such Class A Exchange. In the event that any Class A Exchange in accordance with this Agreement is to be effected at a time when any required registration has not become effective or otherwise is unavailable, upon the request and with the reasonable cooperation of the applicable Class A Exchanging Member, Pubco and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly facilitate such Exchange pursuant to any reasonably available exemption from such registration requirements. Pubco and the Company shall use

Table of Contents

commercially reasonable efforts to list the Class A Common Stock required to be delivered upon a Class A Exchange prior to such delivery upon each national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system upon which the outstanding Class A Common Stock may be listed or traded at the time of such delivery.

(e) Pubco Offers. In the event that a tender offer, share exchange offer, or take-over bid or similar transaction with respect to Class A Common Stock or another Equity Security of Pubco (a “Pubco Offer”) is proposed by Pubco or is proposed to Pubco or its stockholders, the holders of Class A Units (or such other Equity Security of the Company corresponding to such Pubco Equity Security) shall be permitted to participate in such Pubco Offer by delivery of a Class A Exchange Notice (which Class A Exchange Notice shall be effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Pubco Offer (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be contingent upon such Pubco Offer and not be effective if such Pubco Offer is not consummated)). In the case of a Pubco Offer, Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit the holders of Class A Units or other Equity Security to participate in such Pubco Offer to the same extent or on an economically equivalent basis as the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock or other Equity Security without discrimination; provided that, without limiting the generality of this sentence (and without limiting the ability of any Member holding Class A Units or such other Equity Security to consummate a Class A Exchange at any time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), the Managing Member shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such holders of Class A Units or such other Equity Security may participate in such Pubco Offer without being required to effect a Class A Exchange of their Class A Units and cancel their shares of Class B Common Stock, as the case may be, (or, if so required, to ensure that any such Class A Exchange and cancelation shall be effective only upon, and shall be conditional upon, the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Pubco Offer). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the holders of Class A Units be entitled to receive in such Pubco Offer aggregate consideration for each Class A Unit and share of Class B Common Stock, taken together, that is greater than or less than the consideration payable in respect of each share of Class A Common Stock in connection with such Pubco Offer (it being understood that payments under or in respect of the Tax Receivable Agreement shall not be considered part of any such consideration, and shall be in addition thereto).

(f) Pubco Call Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.04, with respect to any Class A Exchange Notice, a Class A Exchanging Member shall be deemed to have offered to sell its Class A Exchanged Units as described in any Class A Exchange Notice directly to Pubco (rather than to the Company), and Pubco may, by delivery of a written notice to the Class A Exchanging Member no later than three (3) Business Days following the giving of a Class A Exchange Notice, in accordance with, and subject to the terms of, this Section 8.4(f) (such notice, a “Pubco Call Notice”), elect to purchase directly and acquire such Class A Exchanged Units on the Class A Exchange Date by paying to the Class A Exchanging Member (or such other Person specified in the Class A Exchange Notice) the Class A Exchanged Shares and/or Class A Cash Amount with respect to the Class A Exchanged Units, whereupon Pubco shall acquire the Class A Exchanged Units on the Class A Exchange Date and be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as the owner of such Class A Units. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.04(f), an exercise of the call right of Pubco set forth in this Section 8.04(f) shall be consummated pursuant to the same timeframe and in the same manner as the relevant Class A Exchange would have been consummated if Pubco had not given a Pubco Call Notice, in each case as relevant.

(g) Distribution Rights. No Class A Exchange shall impair the right of the Class A Exchanging Member to receive any distributions payable on the Units redeemed pursuant to such Class A Exchange in respect of a record date that occurs prior to the Class A Exchange Date for such Class A Exchange. No Class A Exchanging Member, or a Person designated by a Class A Exchanging Member to receive shares of Class A Common Stock, shall be entitled to receive, with respect to such record date, distributions or dividends both on Class A Units redeemed by the Company from such Class A Exchanging Member and on shares of Class A Common Stock received by such Class A Exchanging Member, or other Person so designated, if applicable, in such Class A Exchange.

(h) Tax Treatment. For U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes, each of the Class A Exchanging Member, the Company and Pubco agree to treat each Class A Exchange as a sale by the Class A Exchanging Member of the Class A Exchanging Member’s Class A Units (together with a corresponding number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, which shares shall not be allocated economic value in excess of par value) to Pubco in exchange for the Class A Common Stock.

Section 8.05. [Reserved].

Section 8.06. Further Restrictions.

(a) Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, other than with respect to Transfers in accordance with Section 8.04, in no event may any Transfer of a Unit be made by any Member or Assignee if the Managing Member determines in its reasonable discretion that:

(i) such Transfer is made to any Person who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own such Unit;

(ii) such Transfer would require the registration of such transferred Unit or of any Class of Unit pursuant to any applicable U.S. federal or state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) or other non-U.S. securities laws (including Canadian provincial or territorial securities laws) or would constitute a non-exempt distribution pursuant to applicable provincial or state securities laws; or

(iii) such Transfer would cause (i) all or any portion of the assets of the Company to (A) constitute “plan assets” (under ERISA, the Code or any applicable Similar Law) of any existing or contemplated Member, or (B) be subject to the provisions of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any applicable Similar Law, or (ii) the Managing Member to become a fiduciary with respect to any existing or contemplated Member, pursuant to ERISA, any applicable Similar Law, or otherwise.

(b) Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, in no event shall any Transfer of a Unit be made by any Member or Assignee if the Managing Member determines in its reasonable discretion that such Transfer would pose a material risk that such Transfer would (i) be considered to be effected on or through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof” as such terms are used in Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1, (ii) result in the Company having more than 100 partners, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h) (determined taking into account the rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(3)), or (iii) cause the Company to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. In addition, notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, to the extent the Managing Member reasonably determines that additional restrictions on Transfers (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Class A Exchanges) are advisable to minimize the risk that the Company is not treated as a “publicly traded partnership” under Section 7704 of the Code, the Managing Member shall impose such additional restrictions on Transfers as the Managing Member reasonably determines to be so advisable.

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by law, any Transfer in violation of this Article VIII shall be deemed null and void ab initio and of no effect.

Section 8.07. Rights of Assignees. The Transferee of any Permitted Transfer permitted pursuant to this Article VIII will be an assignee only (“Assignee”), and only will receive, to the extent transferred, the distributions and allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit or similar item to which the Member which transferred its Units would be entitled, and such Assignee will not be entitled or enabled to exercise any other rights or powers of a Member, such other rights, and all obligations relating to, or in connection with, such interest remaining with the transferring Member, unless and until such time as such Transferee is admitted to the Company as a Member pursuant to Section 8.09. The transferring Member will remain a Member even if it has transferred all of its Units to one or more Assignees until such time as all such Assignee(s) have been admitted to the Company as a Member pursuant to Section 8.09.

The proceeds of any liquidation shall be applied and distributed in the following order:

Any such reserve may be paid over by the Liquidation Agent to any attorney-at-law, or acceptable party, as escrow agent, to be held for disbursement in payment of any Contingencies and, at the expiration of such period as shall be deemed advisable by the Liquidation Agent for distribution of the balance in the manner hereinafter provided in this Section 9.03;

(b) Second, to the satisfaction of (i) any payments due pursuant to Section 4.01(b), if any, to the Members holding Class A Units for which such distributions are due, pro rata in accordance with all such Members’ respective Class A Units for which such distributions are due; and

(c) The balance, if any, to the Members, pro rata in accordance with the Members’ respective Class A Units other than Unvested Earnout Units.

LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

Section 10.01. Liability of Members.

(a) No Member and no Affiliate, manager, member, employee or agent of a Member shall be liable for any debt, obligation or liability of the Company or of any other Member or have any obligation to restore any deficit balance in its Capital Account solely by reason of being a Member of the Company, except to the extent required by the Act.

(b) This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any duty (including any fiduciary duty) on any of the Members (other than the Managing Member in its capacity as such) hereto or on their respective Affiliates. Further, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any duty otherwise existing at law or in equity, the parties hereto agree that no Member (other than the Managing Member, in its capacity as such, as set forth in Section 3.06) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have any duties (including fiduciary duties) to any other Member or to the Company, and in doing so, the parties recognize, acknowledge and agree that their duties and obligations to one another and to the Company are only as expressly set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that each Member shall have the duty to act in accordance with the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

(c) To the extent that, at law or in equity, any Member has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company, to another Member or to another Person who is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement, the Members (other than the Managing Member in its capacity as such) acting under this Agreement will not be liable to the Company, to any such other Member or to any such other Person who is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement, for their good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities relating thereto of any Member otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace to that extent such other duties and liabilities of the Members relating thereto.

(d) The Managing Member may consult with legal counsel, accountants and financial or other advisors selected by it, and any act or omission taken by the Managing Member on behalf of the Company or in furtherance of the interests of the Company in good faith in reliance upon and in accordance with the advice of such Person as to matters the Managing Member reasonably believes to be within such Person’s professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such opinion or advice, and the Managing Member will be fully protected in so acting or omitting to act so long as such counsel or accountants or financial or other advisors were selected with reasonable care.

Section 10.02. Indemnification.

(a) Exculpation and Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no Indemnitee shall be liable to the Company or any Member for any act or omission in relation to the Company or this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby taken or omitted by an Indemnitee in good faith and in the reasonable belief that such act or omission was in the best interests of the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by law, as the same exists or hereafter be amended (but in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment), the Company shall indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (brought in the right of the Company or otherwise), whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal (hereinafter a “Proceeding”), including appeals, by reason of his or her or its status as an Indemnitee or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted to be taken by an Indemnitee in such capacity, from and against all loss and liability suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, including appeals; provided that such Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder if, but only to the extent that, such Indemnitee’s conduct constituted fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.02(c), the Company shall be required to indemnify an Indemnitee in connection with any action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) (i) commenced by such Indemnitee only if the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) by such Indemnitee was authorized by the Managing Member, and (ii) by or in the right of the Company only if the Managing Member has provided its prior written consent. The indemnification of an Indemnitee of the type identified in clause (e) of the definition of Indemnitee shall be secondary to any and all indemnification to which such Indemnitee is entitled from the relevant other Person (including any payment made to such Indemnitee under any insurance policy issued to or for the benefit of such Person or Indemnitee) (the “Primary Indemnification”), and will only be paid to the extent the Primary Indemnification is not paid and/or does not provide coverage (e.g., a self-insured retention amount under an insurance policy). No such Person shall be entitled to contribution or indemnification from or subrogation against the Company. The indemnification of any other Indemnitee shall, to the extent not in conflict with such policy, be secondary to any and all payment to which such Indemnitee is entitled from any relevant insurance policy issued to or for the benefit of the Company or any Indemnitee. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall not affect the indemnification and advancement of rights provided pursuant to the Existing Agreement in favor of any Person relating to proceedings arising out of actions or omissions occurring in whole or in part prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement.

(b) Advancement of Expenses. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall promptly pay reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by any Indemnitee in appearing at, participating in or defending any Proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding, including appeals, upon presentation of an undertaking on behalf of such Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 10.02 or otherwise. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.02(c), the Company shall be required to pay expenses of an Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding (or part thereof) (i) commenced by such Indemnitee only if the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) by such Indemnitee was authorized by the Managing Member and (ii) by or in the right of the Company only if the Managing Member has provided its prior written consent.

(c) Unpaid Claims. If a claim for indemnification (following the final disposition of such Proceeding) or advancement of expenses under this Section 10.02 is not paid in full within thirty (30) days after a written claim therefor by any Indemnitee has been received by the Company, such Indemnitee may file proceedings to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of

 

G-37

prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Company shall have the burden of proving that such Indemnitee is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable Law.

(d) Insurance. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person described in Section 10.02(a) against any liability asserted against such person, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Section 10.02 or otherwise.

(i) In the event of any payment by the Company under this Section 10.02, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee from any relevant other Person or under any insurance policy issued to or for the benefit of the Company, such relevant other Person, or any Indemnitee. Each Indemnitee agrees to execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce any such rights in accordance with the terms of such insurance policy or other relevant document. The Company shall pay or reimburse all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such subrogation.

(ii) The Company shall not be liable under this Section 10.02 to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, and excise taxes with respect to an employee benefit plan or penalties) if and to the extent that the applicable Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under this Section 10.02 or any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

(e) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The provisions of this Section 10.02 shall be applicable to all actions, claims, suits or proceedings made or commenced after the date of this Agreement, whether arising from acts or omissions to act occurring before or after its adoption. The provisions of this Section 10.02 shall be deemed to be a contract between the Company and each person entitled to indemnification under this Section 10.02 (or legal representative thereof) who serves in such capacity at any time while this Section 10.02 and the relevant provisions of applicable Law, if any, are in effect, and any amendment, modification or repeal hereof shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts or any action, suit or proceeding then or theretofore existing, or any action, suit or proceeding thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part on any such state of facts. If any provision of this Section 10.02 shall be found to be invalid or limited in application by reason of any law or regulation, it shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions hereof. The rights of indemnification provided in this Section 10.02 shall neither be exclusive of, nor be deemed in limitation of, any rights to which any person may otherwise be or become entitled or permitted by contract, this Agreement or as a matter of law, both as to actions in such person’s official capacity and actions in any other capacity, it being the policy of the Company that indemnification of any person whom the Company is obligated to indemnify pursuant to Section 10.02(a) shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(f) ARTICLE EIGHT of the Pubco Charter shall apply mutatis mutandis to this Agreement as if it were incorporated herein.

 

  (g)

(i) For purposes of this Article X, (x) “Affiliate” shall mean (A) in respect of a member of the Board of Directors, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by such member of the Board of Directors (other than the Company and any entity that is controlled by the Company), (B) in respect of any of the Stockholder Parties, a Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by any of the Stockholder Parties, controls any of the Stockholder Parties or is under common control with any of the Stockholder Parties and shall include any principal, member, director, partner, stockholder, officer, employee or other representative of any of the foregoing (other than the Company and any entity that is controlled by the Company) and (C) in respect of the Company, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by the Company and (y) “Person” shall mean any

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a presumption of control shall not apply where such person holds voting stock, in good faith and not for the purpose of circumventing this Section (F) of Article X, as an agent, bank, broker, nominee, custodian or trustee for one or more owners who do not individually or as a group have control of such entity.

(iii) For purposes of this Section 10.02, references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan.

Any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award under the Plan that, after the Effective Date, are forfeited, canceled, settled or otherwise terminated without a distribution of Shares to a Participant will thereafter be deemed to be available for Awards with respect to shares of Common Stock. In applying the immediately preceding sentence, if (i) Shares otherwise issuable or issued in respect of, or as part of, any Award are withheld to cover taxes or any applicable Exercise Price, such Shares shall be treated as having been issued under the Plan and shall not be available for issuance under the Plan, and (ii) any Share-settled Stock Appreciation Rights or Options are exercised, the aggregate number of Shares subject to such Stock Appreciation Rights or Options shall be deemed issued under the Plan and shall not be available for issuance under the Plan. In addition, Shares (x) tendered to exercise outstanding Options or other Awards, (y) withheld to cover applicable taxes on any Awards or (z) repurchased on the open market using Exercise Price proceeds shall not be available for issuance under the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, (A) Shares underlying Awards that are subject to the achievement of performance goals shall be counted against the Share reserve based on the target value of such Awards unless and until such time as such Awards become vested and settled in Shares, and (B) Awards that, pursuant to their terms, may be settled only in cash shall not count against the Share reserve set forth in Section 4(a).

(d) Substitute Awards shall not reduce the Shares authorized for grant under the Plan. In the event that a company acquired by the Company or any Affiliate or with which the Company or any Affiliate combines has

shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as

adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the Shares authorized for grant under the Plan; provided, that Awards using such available Shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not employed by or providing services to the Company or its Affiliates immediately prior to such acquisition or combination.

(e) In the event that the Company or an Affiliate thereof consummates a transaction described in Code Section 424(a) (e.g., the acquisition of property or stock from an unrelated corporation), persons who become Employees or Directors in account of such transaction may be granted Substitute Awards in substitution for awards granted by their former employer, and any such substitute Options or Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted with an Exercise Price less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the grant date thereof; provided, however, the grant of such substitute Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall not constitute a “modification” as defined in Code Section 424(h)(3) and the applicable Treasury regulations.

Section 5. Equitable Adjustments.

In the event of any Change in Capitalization, including, without limitation, a Change in Control, an equitable substitution or proportionate adjustment shall be made, in each case, as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, in (a) the aggregate number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, (b) the kind, number and Exercise Price subject to outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan; provided, however, that any such substitution or adjustment with respect to Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall occur in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, and (c) the kind, number and purchase price of Shares subject to outstanding Restricted Shares or Other Share-Based Awards granted under the Plan, in each case as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion; provided, however, that any fractional Shares resulting from the adjustment shall be eliminated. Such other equitable substitutions or adjustments shall be made as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with a Change in Capitalization, the Administrator may provide, in its sole discretion, for the cancellation of any outstanding Award granted hereunder (i) in exchange for payment in cash or other property having an aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by such Award, reduced by the aggregate Exercise Price or purchase price thereof, if any, and (ii) with respect to any Awards for which the Exercise Price or purchase price per share of Common Stock is greater than or equal to the then current Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock, for no consideration. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, any adjustment with respect to an Incentive Stock Option due to an adjustment or substitution described in this Section 5 shall comply with the rules of Code Section 424(a), and in no event shall any adjustment be made which would render any Incentive Stock Option granted hereunder to be disqualified as an incentive stock option for purposes of Code Section 422. The Administrator’s determinations pursuant to this Section 5 shall be final, binding and conclusive.

Section 6. Eligibility.

The Participants under the Plan shall be selected from time to time by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, from among Eligible Recipients.

Section 7. Options.

(a) General. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, grant Options to Participants. Solely with respect to Participants who are Employees, the Administrator may grant Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options or a combination of both. With respect to all other Participants, the Administrator may grant only Nonqualified Stock Options. Each Participant who is granted an Option shall enter into an Award Agreement with the Company, containing such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine, in its sole

 

H-9


Table of Contents

discretion, which Award Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option and shall set forth, among other things, the Exercise Price of the Option, the term of the Option and provisions regarding exercisability of the Option granted thereunder. The provisions of each Option need not be the same with respect to each Participant. More than one Option may be granted to the same Participant and be outstanding concurrently hereunder. Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7 and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. The prospective recipient of an Option shall not have any rights with respect to such Award, unless and until such recipient has received an Award Agreement and, if required by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, executed and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, within a period of sixty (60) days (or such other period as the Administrator may specify) after the award date.

(b) Limits on Incentive Stock Options. If the Administrator grants Incentive Stock Options, then to the extent that the aggregate fair market value of Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any individual during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such Options will be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options to the extent required by Code Section 422. Subject to Section 5, the maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to Options intended to be Incentive Stock Options is [] Shares and, for the avoidance of doubt, such share limit shall not be subject to the annual adjustment provided in Section 4(a).

(c) Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of Shares purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion at the time of grant; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall the Exercise Price of an Option be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, and (ii) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a ten percent (10%) stockholder of the Company (within the meaning of Code Section 422(b)(6)) shall have an Exercise Price per Share less than one-hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on such date.

(d) Option Term. The maximum term of each Option shall be fixed by the Administrator, but in no event shall (i) an Option be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such Option is granted, and (ii) an Incentive Stock Option granted to a ten percent (10%) stockholder of the Company (within the meaning of Code Section 422(b)(6)) be exercisable more than five (5) years after the date such Option is granted. Each Option’s term is subject to earlier expiration pursuant to the applicable provisions in the Plan and the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator shall have the authority to accelerate the exercisability of any outstanding Option at such time and under such circumstances as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Plan (including, without limitation, Section 7(h)), if, on the date an outstanding Option would expire, the exercise of the Option, including by a “net exercise” or “cashless” exercise, would violate applicable securities laws or any insider trading policy maintained by the Company from time to time, the expiration date applicable to the Option will be extended, except to the extent such extension would violate Code Section 409A, to a date that is thirty (30) calendar days after the date the exercise of the Option would no longer violate applicable securities laws or any such insider trading policy.

(e) Exercisability. Each Option shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions, including the attainment of pre-established Performance Goals, as shall be determined by the Administrator in the applicable Award Agreement. The Administrator may also provide that any Option shall be exercisable only in installments, and the Administrator may waive such installment exercise provisions at any time, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a share.

(f) Method of Exercise. Options may be exercised in whole or in part by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of Shares to be purchased, accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate

 

H-10


Table of Contents

Exercise Price of the Shares so purchased in cash or its equivalent, as determined by the Administrator. As determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, with respect to any Option or category of Options, payment in whole or in part may also be made (i) by means of consideration received under any cashless exercise procedure approved by the Administrator (including the withholding of Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise), (ii) in the form of unrestricted Shares already owned by the Participant which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares as to which such Option shall be exercised, (iii) any other form of consideration approved by the Administrator and permitted by applicable law, or (iv) any combination of the foregoing. In determining which methods a Participant may utilize to pay the Exercise Price, the Administrator may consider such factors as it determines are appropriate; provided, however, that with respect to Incentive Stock Options, all such discretionary determinations shall be made by the Administrator at the time of grant and specified in the Award Agreement.

(g) Rights as Stockholder. A Participant shall have no rights to dividends or any other rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject to an Option until the Participant has given written notice of the exercise thereof, has paid in full for such Shares and has satisfied the requirements of Section 16 of the Plan.

(h) Termination of Employment or Service. Unless the applicable Award Agreement provides otherwise, in the event that the employment or service of a Participant with the Company and all Affiliates thereof shall terminate, the following terms and conditions shall apply:

(i) In the event of the termination of a Participant’s employment or service by the Company without Cause or due to a resignation by the Participant for any reason, (A) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they are exercisable at the time of such termination, shall remain exercisable until the date that is ninety (90) days after such termination (with such period being extended to one (1) year after the date of such termination in the event of the Participant’s death during such ninety (90) day period), on which date they shall expire, and (B) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were not exercisable at the time of such termination, shall expire at the close of business on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of its term.

(ii) In the event of the termination of a Participant’s employment or service as a result of the Participant’s Disability or death, (A) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were exercisable at the time of such termination, shall remain exercisable until the date that is one (1) year after such termination, on which date they shall expire, and (B) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were not exercisable at the time of such termination, shall expire at the close of business on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of its term.

(iii) In the event of the termination of a Participant’s employment or service for Cause, all outstanding Options granted to such Participant shall expire at the commencement of business on the date of such termination.

(iv) For purposes of determining which Options are exercisable upon termination of employment or service for purposes of this Section 7(h), Options that are not exercisable solely due to a blackout period shall be considered exercisable.

(v) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an Incentive Stock Option may not be exercised more than three (3) months following the date as of which a Participant ceases to be an Employee for any reason other than death or Disability. In the event that an Option is exercisable following the date that is three (3) months following the date as of which a Participant ceases to be an Employee for any reason other than death or Disability, such Option shall be deemed to be a Nonqualified Stock Option.

(i) Other Change in Employment Status. An Option may be affected, both with regard to vesting schedule and termination, by leaves of absence, changes from full-time to part-time employment, partial disability or other changes in the employment status or service of a Participant, as evidenced in a Participant’s Award Agreement.

(j) Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon a Change in Control, all outstanding Options shall be subject to Section 12 of the Plan.

(k) Automatic Exercise. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator in an Award Agreement or otherwise, or as otherwise directed by the Participant in writing to the Company, each vested and exercisable Option outstanding on the Automatic Exercise Date with an Exercise Price per Share that is less than the Fair Market Value per Share as of such date shall automatically and without further action by the Participant or the Company be exercised on the Automatic Exercise Date. In the sole discretion of the Administrator, payment of the exercise price of any such Option shall be made pursuant to Section 7(f)(i) or (ii), and the Company or any Affiliate shall deduct or withhold an amount sufficient to satisfy all taxes associated with such exercise in accordance with Section 16. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, this Section 7(k) shall not apply to an Option if the Participant’s employment or service has terminated on or before the Automatic Exercise Date. For the avoidance of doubt, no Option with an Exercise Price per Share that is equal to or greater the Fair Market Value per Share on the Automatic Exercise Date shall be exercised pursuant to this Section 7(k).

Section 8. Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a) General. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted either alone (“Free Standing Rights”) or in conjunction with all or part of any Option granted under the Plan (“Related Rights”). Any Related Right that relates to a Nonqualified Stock Option may be granted at the same time the Option is granted or at any time thereafter, but before the exercise or expiration of the Option. Any Related Right that relates to an Incentive Stock Option must be granted at the same time the Incentive Stock Option is granted. The Administrator shall determine the Eligible Recipients to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Stock Appreciation Rights shall be made, the number of Shares to be awarded, the price per Share, and all other conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Related Right may be granted for more Shares than are subject to the Option to which it relates and any Stock Appreciation Right must be granted with an Exercise Price not less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. The provisions of Stock Appreciation Rights need not be the same with respect to each Participant. Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8 and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable, as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

(b) Awards; Rights as Stockholder. The prospective recipient of a Stock Appreciation Right shall not have any rights with respect to such Award, unless and until such recipient has received an Award Agreement and, if required by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, executed and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, within a period of sixty (60) days (or such other period as the Administrator may specify) after the award date. Participants who are granted Stock Appreciation Rights shall have no rights as stockholders of the Company with respect to the grant or exercise of such rights.

(c) Exercisability.

(i) Stock Appreciation Rights that are Free Standing Rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator in the applicable Award Agreement.

(ii) Stock Appreciation Rights that are Related Rights shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent that the Options to which they relate shall be exercisable in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 above and this Section 8 of the Plan.

(d) Payment Upon Exercise.

(i) Upon the exercise of a Free Standing Right, the Participant shall be entitled to receive up to, but not more than, that number of Shares, determined using the Fair Market Value, equal in value to the excess of

 

H-12


Table of Contents

the Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise over the price per share specified in the Free Standing Right multiplied by the number of Shares in respect of which the Free Standing Right is being exercised.

(ii) A Related Right may be exercised by a Participant by surrendering the applicable portion of the related Option. Upon such exercise and surrender, the Participant shall be entitled to receive up to, but not more than, that number of Shares, determined using the Fair Market Value, equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise over the Exercise Price specified in the related Option multiplied by the number of Shares in respect of which the Related Right is being exercised. Options which have been so surrendered, in whole or in part, shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the Related Rights have been so exercised.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may determine to settle the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right in cash (or in any combination of Shares and cash).

(e) Termination of Employment or Service.

(i) Subject to Section 8(f), in the event of the termination of employment or service with the Company and all Affiliates thereof of a Participant who has been granted one or more Free Standing Rights, such rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator in the applicable Award Agreement.

(ii) Subject to Section 8(f), in the event of the termination of employment or service with the Company and all Affiliates thereof of a Participant who has been granted one or more Related Rights, such rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as set forth in the related Options.

(f) Term.

(i) The term of each Free Standing Right shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no Free Standing Right shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such right is granted.

(ii) The term of each Related Right shall be the term of the Option to which it relates, but no Related Right shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such right is granted.

(g) Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon a Change in Control, all outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to Section 12 of the Plan.

(h) Automatic Exercise. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator in an Award Agreement or otherwise, or as otherwise directed by the Participant in writing to the Company, each vested and exercisable Stock Appreciation Right outstanding on the Automatic Exercise Date with an Exercise Price per Share that is less than the Fair Market Value per Share as of such date shall automatically and without further action by the Participant or the Company be exercised on the Automatic Exercise Date. The Company or any Affiliate shall deduct or withhold an amount sufficient to satisfy all taxes associated with such exercise in accordance with Section 16. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, this Section 8(h) shall not apply to a Stock Appreciation Right if the Participant’s employment or service has terminated on or before the Automatic Exercise Date. For the avoidance of doubt, no Stock Appreciation Right with an Exercise Price per Share that is equal to or greater the Fair Market Value per Share on the Automatic Exercise Date shall be exercised pursuant to this Section 8(h).

Section 9. Restricted Shares.

(a) General. Each Award of Restricted Shares granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Restricted Shares may be issued either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The Administrator shall determine the Eligible Recipients to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted Shares shall be made; the number of Shares to be awarded; the price, if any, to be paid by the

 

H-13


Table of Contents

Participant for the acquisition of Restricted Shares; the Restricted Period, if any, applicable to Restricted Shares; the Performance Goals (if any) applicable to Restricted Shares; and all other conditions of the Restricted Shares. If the restrictions, Performance Goals and/or conditions established by the Administrator are not attained, a Participant shall forfeit his or her Restricted Shares in accordance with the terms of the grant. The terms and conditions applicable to the Restricted Shares need not be the same with respect to each Participant.

(b) Awards and Certificates. The prospective recipient of Restricted Shares shall not have any rights with respect to any such Award, unless and until such recipient has received an Award Agreement and, if required by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, executed and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, within a period of sixty (60) days (or such other period as the Administrator may specify) after the award date. Except as otherwise provided in herein, (i) each Participant who is granted an Award of Restricted Shares may, in the Company’s sole discretion, be issued a stock certificate in respect of such Restricted Shares; and (ii) any such certificate so issued shall be registered in the name of the Participant, and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to any such Award. The Company may require that the stock certificates, if any, evidencing Restricted Shares granted hereunder be held in the custody of the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and that, as a condition of any award of Restricted Shares, the Participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Shares covered by such Award. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, any Restricted Shares (whether before or after any vesting conditions have been satisfied) may, in the Company’s sole discretion, be issued in uncertificated form pursuant to the customary arrangements for issuing shares in such form.

(c) Restrictions and Conditions. The Restricted Shares granted pursuant to this Section 9 shall be subject to the following restrictions and conditions and any additional restrictions or conditions as determined by the Administrator at the time of grant or thereafter:

(i) The Restricted Shares shall be subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in the Award Agreement and in the Plan.

(ii) The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide for the lapse of restrictions in installments and may accelerate or waive such restrictions in whole or in part based on such factors and such circumstances as the Administrator may determine, in its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, the attainment of certain Performance Goals, the Participant’s termination of employment or service as Non-Employee Director or Consultant of the Company or an Affiliate thereof, or the Participant’s death or Disability.

(iii) Subject to this Section 9(c)(ii), the Participant shall generally have the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to Restricted Shares during the Restricted Period. In the Administrator’s discretion and as provided in the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant may be entitled to dividends or dividend equivalents on an Award of Restricted Shares, which will be payable in accordance with the terms of such grant as determined by the Administrator in accordance with Section 18 of the Plan. Certificates for unrestricted Shares may, in the Company’s sole discretion, be delivered to the Participant only after the Restricted Period has expired without forfeiture in respect of such Restricted Shares, except as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall otherwise determine.

(iv) The rights of Participants granted Restricted Shares upon termination of employment or service as a Non-Employee Director or Consultant of the Company or an Affiliate thereof terminates for any reason during the Restricted Period shall be set forth in the Award Agreement.

(d) Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon a Change in Control, all outstanding Restricted Shares shall be subject to Section 12 of the Plan.

Section 10. Restricted Stock Units.

(a) General. Restricted Stock Units may be issued either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The Administrator shall determine the Eligible Recipients to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted Stock Units shall be made; the number of Restricted Stock Units to be awarded; the Restricted Period, if any, applicable to Restricted Stock Units; the Performance Goals (if any) applicable to Restricted Stock Units; and all other conditions of the Restricted Stock Units. If the restrictions, Performance Goals and/or conditions established by the Administrator are not attained, a Participant shall forfeit his or her Restricted Stock Units in accordance with the terms of the grant. The provisions of Restricted Stock Units need not be the same with respect to each Participant.

(b) Award Agreement. The prospective recipient of Restricted Stock Units shall not have any rights with respect to any such Award, unless and until such recipient has received an Award Agreement and, if required by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, executed and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, within a period of sixty (60) days (or such other period as the Administrator may specify) after the award date.

(c) Restrictions and Conditions. The Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Section 10 shall be subject to the following restrictions and conditions and any additional restrictions or conditions as determined by the Administrator at the time of grant or, subject to Code Section 409A, thereafter:

(i) The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide for the lapse of restrictions in installments and may accelerate or waive such restrictions in whole or in part based on such factors and such circumstances as the Administrator may determine, in its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, the attainment of certain Performance Goals, the Participant’s termination of employment or service as a Non-Employee Director or Consultant of the Company or an Affiliate thereof, or the Participant’s death or Disability.

(ii) Participants holding Restricted Stock Units shall have no voting rights. A Restricted Stock Unit may, at the Administrator’s discretion, carry with it a right to dividend equivalents, subject to Section 18 of the Plan. Such right would entitle the holder to be credited with an amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one Share while the Restricted Stock Unit is outstanding. The Administrator, in its discretion, may grant dividend equivalents from the date of grant or only after a Restricted Stock Unit is vested.

(iii) The rights of Participants granted Restricted Stock Units upon termination of employment or service as a Non-Employee Director or Consultant of the Company or an Affiliate thereof terminates for any reason during the Restricted Period shall be set forth in the Award Agreement.

(d) Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Settlement of vested Restricted Stock Units shall be made to Participants in the form of Shares, unless the Administrator, in its sole discretion, provides for the payment of the Restricted Stock Units in cash (or partly in cash and partly in Shares) equal to the value of the Shares that would otherwise be distributed to the Participant.

(e) Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon a Change in Control, all outstanding Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to Section 12 of the Plan.

Section 11. Other Share-Based or Cash-Based Awards.

(a) The Administrator is authorized to grant Awards to Participants in the form of Other Share-Based Awards or Other Cash-Based Awards, as deemed by the Administrator to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan and as evidenced by an Award Agreement. The Administrator shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards, consistent with the terms of the Plan, at the date of grant or thereafter, including any Performance Goals and performance periods. Shares or other securities or property delivered pursuant to an Award in the nature of a purchase right granted under this Section 11 shall be purchased for such consideration, paid for at such times, by such methods, and in such forms, including, without limitation, Shares, other Awards, notes or

 

H-15


Table of Contents

other property, as the Administrator shall determine, subject to any required corporate action.

(b) The prospective recipient of an Other Share-Based Award or Other Cash-Based Award shall not have any rights with respect to such Award, unless and until such recipient has received an Award Agreement and, if required by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, executed and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, within a period of sixty (60) days (or such other period as the Administrator may specify) after the award date.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon a Change in Control, all outstanding Other Share-Based Awards and Other Cash-Based Awards shall be subject to Section 12 of the Plan.

Section 12. Change in Control.

The Administrator may provide in the applicable Award Agreement that an Award will vest on an accelerated basis upon the Participant’s termination of employment or service in connection with a Change in Control or upon the occurrence of any other event that the Administrator may set forth in the Award Agreement. If the Company is a party to an agreement that is reasonably likely to result in a Change in Control, such agreement may provide for: (i) the continuation of any Award by the Company, if the Company is the surviving corporation; (ii) the assumption of any Award by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary; (iii) the substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary of equivalent awards for any Award, provided, however, that any such substitution with respect to Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall occur in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A; or (iv) settlement of any Award for the Change in Control Price (less, to the extent applicable, the per share exercise or grant price), or, if the per share exercise or grant price equals or exceeds the Change in Control Price or if the Administrator determines that Award cannot reasonably become vested pursuant to its terms, such Award shall terminate and be canceled without consideration. To the extent that Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units or other Awards settle in Shares in accordance with their terms upon a Change in Control, such Shares shall be entitled to receive as a result of the Change in Control transaction the same consideration as the Shares held by stockholders of the Company as a result of the Change in Control transaction. For purposes of this Section 12, “Change in Control Price” shall mean (A) the price per Share paid to stockholders of the Company in the Change in Control transaction, or (B) the Fair Market Value of a Share upon a Change in Control, as determined by the Administrator. To the extent that the consideration paid in any such Change in Control transaction consists all or in part of securities or other non-cash consideration, the value of such securities or other non-cash consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Administrator.

Section 13. Amendment and Termination.

(a) The Board or the Committee may amend, alter or terminate the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, or termination shall be made that would adversely alter or impair the rights of a Participant under any Award theretofore granted without such Participant’s prior written consent.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) approval of the Company’s stockholders shall be obtained for any amendment that would require such approval in order to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 422, if applicable, any rules of the stock exchange on which the Shares are traded or other applicable law, and (ii) without stockholder approval to the extent required by the rules of any applicable national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Shares are listed or quoted, except as otherwise permitted under Section 5 of the Plan, (A) no amendment or modification may reduce the Exercise Price of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right, (B) the Administrator may not cancel any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right and replace it with a new Option or Stock Appreciation Right, another Award or cash and (C) the Administrator may not take any other action that is considered a “repricing” for purposes of the stockholder approval rules of the applicable securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system.

Table of Contents

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and Code Section 409A, the Administrator may modify, extend or renew outstanding Awards under the Plan, or accept the surrender of outstanding Awards (to the extent not already exercised) and grant new Awards in substitution of them (to the extent not already exercised).

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no alteration, modification or termination of an Award will, without the prior written consent of the Participant, adversely alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Award already granted under the Plan.

Section 14. Unfunded Status of Plan.

The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. Neither the Company, the Board nor the Committee shall be required to establish any special or separate fund or to segregate any assets to assure the performance of its obligations under the Plan. With respect to any payments not yet made or Shares not yet transferred to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.

Section 15. Deferrals of Payment.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine that the delivery of Shares or the payment of cash, upon the exercise, vesting or settlement of all or a portion of any Award, shall be deferred. The Administrator may also, in its sole discretion, establish one or more programs under the Plan to permit selected Participants the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of any such consideration, including any applicable election procedures, the timing of such elections, the mechanisms for payments of amounts, shares or other consideration so deferred, and such other terms, conditions, rules and procedures that the Administrator deems advisable for the administration of any such deferral program. Deferrals by Participants (or deferred settlement or payment required by the Administrator) shall be made in accordance with Code Section 409A, if applicable, and any other applicable law.

Section 16. Withholding Taxes.

Each Participant shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award first becomes includible in the gross income of such Participant for federal, state and/or local income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator regarding payment of, any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to the Award. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on the making of such payments or arrangements, and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Participant. Whenever cash is to be paid pursuant to an Award granted hereunder, the Company shall have the right to deduct therefrom an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local withholding tax requirements related thereto. Whenever Shares are to be delivered pursuant to an Award, the Company shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy any related federal, state and local taxes, domestic or foreign, to be withheld and applied to the tax obligations. With the approval of the Administrator, a Participant may satisfy the foregoing requirement by electing to have the Company withhold from delivery of Shares or by delivering already owned unrestricted Shares, in each case, having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld or other greater amount not exceeding the maximum statutory rate required to be collected on the transaction under applicable law, as applicable to the Participant, if such other greater amount would not, as determined by the Administrator, result in adverse financial accounting treatment (including in connection with the effectiveness of FASB Accounting Standards Update 2016-09). Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. Fractional share amounts shall be settled in cash. Such an election may be made with respect to all or any portion of the Shares to be delivered pursuant to an Award. The Company may also use any other method of obtaining the necessary payment or proceeds, as permitted by law, to satisfy its

withholding obligation with respect to any Option or other Award (including by a “net exercise” or broker assisted “cashless” exercise procedure approved by the Administrator).

Section 17. Certain Forfeitures.

The Administrator may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant’s rights, payments and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain events, in addition to the applicable vesting conditions of an Award. Such events may include, without limitation, breach of any non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, or other restrictive covenants that are contained in an Award Agreement or that are otherwise applicable to the Participant, a termination of the Participant’s employment for Cause, or other conduct by the Participant that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company and its Subsidiaries and/or its Affiliates.

Section 18. Dividends; Dividend Equivalents.

Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, to the extent that an Award contains a right to receive dividends or dividend equivalents while such Award remains unvested, such dividends or dividend equivalents will be accumulated and paid once and to the extent that the underlying Award vests, and forfeited to the extent the underlying Award is forfeited.

Section 19. Non-United States Employees.

Without amending the Plan, the Administrator may grant Awards to eligible persons residing in non-United States jurisdictions on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan, including the terms of any award agreement or plan, adopted by the Company or any Subsidiary thereof to comply with, or take advantage of favorable tax or other treatment available under, the laws of any non-United States jurisdiction, as may in the judgment of the Administrator be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan and, in furtherance of such purposes the Administrator may make such modifications, amendments, procedures, sub-plans and the like as may be necessary or advisable to comply with provisions of laws in other countries or jurisdictions in which the Company or its Subsidiaries operates or has employees.

Section 20. Transfer of Awards.

No purported sale, assignment, mortgage, hypothecation, transfer, charge, pledge, encumbrance, gift, transfer in trust (voting or other) or other disposition of, or creation of a security interest in or lien on, any Award or any agreement or commitment to do any of the foregoing (each, a “Transfer”) by any holder thereof in violation of the provisions of the Plan or an Award Agreement will be valid, except with the prior written consent of the Administrator, which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the Administrator, and other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Any purported Transfer of an Award or any economic benefit or interest therein in violation of the Plan or an Award Agreement shall be null and void ab initio, and shall not create any obligation or liability of the Company, and any person purportedly acquiring any Award or any economic benefit or interest therein transferred in violation of the Plan or an Award Agreement shall not be entitled to be recognized as a holder of such Shares. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, an Option may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant or, during any period during which the Participant is under a legal disability, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. Under no circumstances will a Participant be permitted to transfer an Option or Stock Appreciation Right to a third-party financial institution without prior stockholder approval.

Section 21. Continued Employment.

The adoption of the Plan shall not confer upon any Eligible Recipient any right to continued employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate thereof, as the case may be, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or an Affiliate thereof to terminate the employment or service of any of its Eligible Recipients at any time.

Section 22. Effective Date.

The Plan will be effective as of the date of consummation of the transactions contemplated by that certain business combination agreement, dated as of July 15, 2021, by and among Altimar Acquisition Corp. II, a Cayman Islands corporation, Fathom HoldCo LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and such other parties to the agreement as set forth therein and as subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders (the “Effective Date”). The Plan will be unlimited in duration and, in the event of Plan termination, will remain in effect as long as any Shares awarded under it are outstanding and not fully vested; provided, however, that no Awards will be made under the Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date.

Section 23. Code Section 409A.

The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under the Plan be either exempt from Code Section 409A or comply with Code Section 409A to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted and be administered consistent with such intent. Any payments described in the Plan that are due within the “short-term deferral period” as defined in Code Section 409A shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Code Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided upon a “separation from service” to a Participant who is a “specified employee” shall be paid on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following the Participant’s separation from service (or upon the Participant’s death, if earlier). In addition, for purposes of the Plan, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided to the Participant pursuant to the Plan, which constitute deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A, shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Code Section 409A. Nothing contained in the Plan or an Award Agreement shall be construed as a guarantee of any particular tax effect with respect to an Award. The Company does not guarantee that any Awards provided under the Plan will be exempt from or in compliance with the provisions of Code Section 409A, and in no event will the Company be liable for any or all portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by a Participant on account of any Award being subject to, but not in compliance with, Code Section 409A.

Section 24. Compliance with Laws.

(a) The obligation of the Company to settle Awards in Shares or other consideration shall be subject to (i) all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, (ii) such approvals as may be required by governmental agencies or the applicable national securities exchange on which the Shares may be admitted, and (iii) policies maintained by the Company from time to time in order to comply with applicable laws, rules, regulations and corporate governance requirements, including, without limitation, with respect to insider trading restrictions. Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of any Award to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to offer to sell or to sell, and shall be prohibited from offering to sell or selling, any Shares pursuant to an Award unless such shares have been properly registered for sale pursuant to the Securities Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission or unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel (if the Company has requested such an opinion), satisfactory to the Company, that such Shares may be offered or sold without such registration pursuant to an available exemption therefrom and the terms and conditions of such exemption have been fully complied with. The Company shall be under no obligation to register for sale under the Securities Act any of the Shares to be offered or sold under the Plan. The Administrator shall have the authority to provide that all Shares

 

H-19


Table of Contents

or other securities of the Company issued under the Plan shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan, the applicable Award Agreement, the federal securities laws, or the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company are listed or quoted and any other applicable federal, state, local or non-U.S. laws, rules, regulations and other requirements, and the Administrator may cause a legend or legends to be put on certificates representing Shares or other securities of the Company issued under the Plan to make appropriate reference to such restrictions or may cause such Shares or other securities of the Company issued under the Plan in book-entry form to be held subject to the Company’s instructions or subject to appropriate stop-transfer orders. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee reserves the right to add any additional terms or provisions to any Award granted under the Plan that it, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable in order that such Award complies with the legal requirements of any governmental entity to whose jurisdiction the Award is subject.

(b) The Administrator may cancel an Award or any portion thereof if it determines, in its sole discretion, that legal or contractual restrictions and/or blockage and/or other market considerations would make the Company’s acquisition of Shares from the public markets, the Company’s issuance of Shares to the Participant, the Participant’s acquisition of Shares from the Company and/or the Participant’s sale of Shares to the public markets, illegal, impracticable or inadvisable. If the Administrator determines to cancel all or any portion of an Award in accordance with the foregoing, the Company shall, subject to any limitations or reductions as may be necessary to comply with Code Section 409A, (i) pay to the Participant an amount equal to the excess of (A) the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Award or portion thereof canceled (determined as of the applicable exercise date, or the date that the Shares would have been vested or issued, as applicable), over (B) the aggregate Exercise Price (in the case of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right) or any amount payable as a condition of issuance of Shares (in the case of any other Award), and such amount shall be delivered to the Participant as soon as practicable following the cancellation of such Award or portion thereof, or (ii) in the case of Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units or Other Share-Based Awards, provide the Participant with a cash payment or equity subject to deferred vesting and delivery consistent with the vesting restrictions applicable to such Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units or Other Share-Based Awards, or the underlying Shares in respect thereof.

Section 25. No Interference.

The existence of the Plan, any Award Agreement, and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Company, the Board, the Committee, or the stockholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization, or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of stock or of options, warrants, or rights to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures, or preferred or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or affect the Common Stock or the rights thereof or that are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any Affiliate, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of their assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

Section 26. Erroneously Awarded Compensation; Clawback.

The Plan and all Awards issued hereunder shall be subject to any compensation recovery and/or recoupment policy adopted by the Company to comply with applicable law, including, without limitation, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or to comport with good corporate governance practices, including on a retroactive basis, as such policies may be amended from time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrator also may cancel an Award if the Participant, without the consent of the Company, (a) has engaged in or engages in activity that is in conflict with or adverse to the interests of the Company or any Affiliate while employed by or providing services to the Company or any Affiliate, including fraud or conduct contributing to any financial restatements or irregularities or (b) violates a

non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement or non-disclosure covenant or agreement with the Company or any Affiliate, as determined by the Administrator, or if the Participant’s employment or service is terminated for Cause. The Administrator may also provide in an Award Agreement that in any such event the Participant will forfeit any compensation, gain or other value realized thereafter on the vesting, exercise or settlement of such Award, the sale or other transfer of such Award, or the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired in respect of such Award, and must promptly repay such amounts to the Company. The Administrator may also provide in an Award Agreement that if the Participant receives any amount in excess of what the Participant should have received under the terms of the Award for any reason (including without limitation by reason of a financial restatement, mistake in calculations or other administrative error), all as determined by the Administrator, then the Participant shall be required to promptly repay any such excess amount to the Company. In addition, the Company shall retain the right to bring an action at equity or law to enjoin the Participant’s activity and recover damages resulting from such activity.

Section 27. Whistleblower Acknowledgements.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Plan or any Award Agreement will (a) prohibit a Participant from making reports of possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity in accordance with the provisions of and rules promulgated under Section 21F of the Exchange Act or Section 806 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or of any other whistleblower protection provisions of federal law or regulation, or (b) require prior approval by the Company or any of its Affiliates of any reporting described in clause (a).

Section 28. Governing Law.

The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law of such state.

Section 29. Plan Document Controls.

The Plan and each Award Agreement together constitute the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; provided, that in the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and such Award Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall control.

FORFEITURE AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT (THIS “AGREEMENT”)

Reference is made to that certain Business Combination Agreement of even date herewith (as the same may be amended, restated or amended and restated from time to time in accordance with its terms, “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Altimar Acquisition Corp. II, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Buyer”), Fathom Holdco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Fathom”), Rapid Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Altimar (“Rapid Merger Sub”), Rapid Blocker 1 Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Altimar (“Blocker Merger Sub 1”), Rapid Blocker 2 Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Altimar (“Blocker Merger Sub 2”), Rapid Blocker 3 Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Altimar, CORE Fund I Blocker-5 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, CORE Fund I Blocker-2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and SG (MCT) Blocker, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, capitalized terms shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Business Combination Agreement.


Pursuant to Article 17.2 of Buyer’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, outstanding Buyer Class B ordinary shares, par value of US$0.0001 per share (“Cayman Class B Shares”), shall automatically convert into Buyer Class A ordinary shares, par value of US$0.0001 per share (“Cayman Class A Shares”), on a one- for-one basis automatically on the day of the closing of a Business Combination (as defined in the Buyer’s Articles and Memorandum of Association as in effect on the date hereof (the “Cayman Charter”)), subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments if additional Cayman Class A Shares or any other Equity-linked Securities (as defined in the Cayman Charter) are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in Buyer’s initial public offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination (as defined in the Cayman Charter), which anti-dilution adjustments may be waived by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Cayman Class B Shares, consenting as a separate class.

Section 2.02 of the Business Combination Agreement contemplates that following the Pre-Closing Reorganization but prior to the consummation of the PIPE Investment, Buyer will domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the DGCL and de-register as a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Domestication”). As a result of the Domestication, each then issued and outstanding Cayman Class B Share will become a share of Class C Common Stock, par value $0.0001 (“Altimar Class C Common Stock”), which shares of Class C Common Stock shall convert into shares of Altimar Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 (“Altimar Class A Common Stock”), on a one-for-one basis automatically on the day of the closing of a Business Combination (as defined in the Altimar Charter, which will be filed by Buyer with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in connection with the Domestication (the “Delaware Charter”, and together with the Cayman Charter, the “Charter Documents”)), subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments if additional shares of Altimar Class A Common Stock or any other Equity-linked Securities (as defined in the Delaware Charter) are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in Buyer’s initial public offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination (as defined in the Delaware Charter), which anti-dilution adjustments may be waived by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Altimar Class C Common Stock/

In order to induce each of the other parties to the Business Combination Agreement to enter into the Business Combination Agreement, and as a condition to such parties entering into the Business Combination Agreement, and understanding that such other parties to the Business Combination Agreement are relying on the agreements set forth herein in entering into the Business Combination and closing the transactions contemplated thereby, Buyer, its sponsor, Altimar Sponsor II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and the individuals identified on the signature pages hereto (each, an “Individual Class B Holder”), agree as follows:

1. Effective upon and subject to the Closing, Sponsor, as holder of a majority of the outstanding Cayman Class B Shares (and as prospective holder of a majority of the shares of Altimar Class C Common Stock, which will result from the Domestication), pursuant to Article 17.4 of the Cayman Charter and Section 4.3(f)(iii) of the Delaware Charter irrevocably waives all of the anti-dilution adjustments set forth in each of Article 17.3 of Cayman Charter and Section 4.3(f)(ii) of the Delaware Charter in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Anti-dilution Waiver”).

2. Effective upon and subject to the Closing, and without duplication of the forfeiture of Cayman Class B Ordinary Shares contemplated in Section 2.02 of the Business Combination Agreement, Sponsor shall irrevocably automatically forfeit and surrender, for no additional consideration and without any further action on the part of any other Person, the Forfeited Shares (as defined below), which would otherwise be held by the Sponsor as a result of the automatic conversion of shares of Altimar Class C Common Stock after giving effect to the Closing, the Domestication and the Anti-dilution Waiver (the “Forfeiture”).

3. Effective upon and subject to the Closing, Buyer acknowledges the Anti-dilution Waiver and agrees to give effect to the Forfeiture set forth in the preceding paragraph.

Buyer agrees that it shall not waive Sponsor’s or any Individual Class B Holder’s obligations under this Section 4 without the consent of all other parties hereto (including each addressee hereof). At the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, Sponsor shall provide funds to Buyer to satisfy the funding of such Altimar Transaction Expenses, after utilizing the unused portion of the working capital amount funded by Sponsor to Buyer prior to the date hereof, that are in excess of the aggregate $27,000,000 cap referenced in, Section 4.03(b) of the Business Combination Agreement. All obligations of Buyer to Sponsor for borrowed money or any payments made to or on behalf of Buyer shall be settled in cash and not through the issuance of warrants or other Equity Securities.

5. From the date of the Business Combination Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms, Sponsor shall not take (or cause to be taken, including by the Buyer) any action the effect of which would be to cause Buyer to breach its obligations set forth in Section 9.08 of the Business Combination Agreement.

contemplated thereby (including any proposals recommended by Buyer’s Board of Directors in connection with such Business Combination), (B) any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting of shareholders of Buyer to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination, and (C) an amendment of the Altimar Organizational Documents to extend the outside date for consummating the Business Combination, if applicable; (ii) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that could reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Buyer under the Business Combination Agreement; and (iii) against (A) any proposal or offer from any Person concerning (1) a merger, consolidation, liquidation, recapitalization, share exchange or other business combination transaction involving Buyer, or (2) the issuance or acquisition of shares of capital stock or other equity securities of Buyer (other than as contemplated or permitted by the Business Combination Agreement); and (B) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be expected to (1) impede the fulfillment of, or would result in the failure to be satisfied of, any condition set forth in Section 11.01 or Section 11.03 of the Business Combination Agreement or any other conditions applicable to Buyer or any of its Affiliates under the Business Combination Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of shares of Buyer (including any amendments to the Altimar Organizational Documents, other than in connection with the Domestication or as otherwise contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement) or (2) result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of Sponsor or any of the Individual Class B Holders contained in this Agreement.

7. From the date of the Business Combination Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms, Sponsor agrees that it shall not Transfer (as defined below) (i) any Cayman Class B Shares (or, following the Domestication, shares of Altimar Class A Common Stock or Altimar Class C Common Stock) beneficially owned by the Sponsor immediately prior to the Closing or (ii) any warrants beneficially owned by Sponsor or shares underlying such warrants immediately prior to the Closing, except to the extent the proposed permitted transferee of such Cayman Class B Shares (or shares of Altimar Class C Common Stock, if applicable) (A) is agreed upon by each addressee hereof in writing and (B) agrees in writing to accept such Cayman Class B Shares (or shares of Altimar Class C Common Stock, if applicable) subject to, and to be bound by, the same obligations hereunder as the transferor Sponsor. Until and unless any shares owned by Sponsor (or a permitted transferee) are Forfeited in accordance herewith, Sponsor (or such permitted transferee) shall have full ownership rights to such shares, including the right to vote such shares, subject to Section 4 herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the conversion of Cayman Class B Shares into shares of Altimar Class C Common Stock resulting from the Domestication shall not be deemed a Transfer for purposes hereof.

Exhibit 10.2

FORM OF SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT FOR WALL-CROSS SUBSCRIBERS

This SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Subscription Agreement”) is entered into on July 15, 2021, by and among Altimar Acquisition Corp. II, a Cayman limited exempted company (the “Company”), Fathom Holdco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Fathom”), and the undersigned subscriber (“Subscriber”). Prior to the closing of the Transactions (as defined below), the Company will domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, and the Cayman Islands Companies Act (2021 Revision) (the “Domestication”).

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Subscription Agreement, the Company and Fathom are, together with the other parties thereto, entering into that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, providing for a business combination between the Company and Fathom (as amended, modified, supplemented or waived from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Transaction Agreement” and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement to be completed on and prior to the closing date thereof, the “Transactions”) pursuant to which, among other things, in the manner, and on the terms and subject to the conditions and exclusions set forth in the Transaction Agreement, the Company is combining with Fathom;

WHEREAS, in connection with the Transactions, Subscriber desires to subscribe for and purchase from the Company, following the Domestication but immediately prior to the consummation of the Transactions, that number of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Shares”), set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Subscribed Shares”) for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Per Share Price” and the aggregate of such Per Share Price for all Subscribed Shares being referred to herein as the “Purchase Price”), and the Company desires to issue and sell to Subscriber the Subscribed Shares in consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price by or on behalf of Subscriber to the Company; and

WHEREAS, on or about the date of this Subscription Agreement, the Company is entering into other subscription agreements (the “Other Subscription Agreements” and together with this Subscription Agreement, the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain other institutional “accredited investors” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) or “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) (the “Other Subscribers” and together with Subscriber, the “Subscribers”), pursuant to which such Other Subscribers have agreed to purchase additional Class A Common Shares on the closing date of the Transactions (the “Other Subscribed Shares” and together with the Subscribed Shares, the “Collective Subscribed Shares”).

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

Section 1. Subscription. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing (as defined below), Subscriber hereby agrees to subscribe for and purchase, and the Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to Subscriber, upon the payment of the Purchase Price, the Subscribed Shares (such subscription and issuance, the “Subscription”). Subscriber understands that, pursuant to the Domestication, the Subscribed Shares that will be issued pursuant hereto shall be shares of

 

1


common stock in a Delaware corporation. Upon Subscriber’s request, the Company shall deliver to Subscriber: (i) a duly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8BenE, as applicable and (ii) the names, email addresses and telephone numbers of two company contacts (the “Wire Verification Information”). The Company shall deliver the Wire Verification Information as soon as practicable upon receiving such request from the Subscriber.

Section 2. Closing.

(a) The consummation of the Subscription contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall occur on the closing date of the Transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement (the “Closing Date”), immediately prior to or substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Transactions to be completed on the Closing Date.

(b) At least six (6) Business Days before the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall deliver written notice to Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”) which shall: (i) specify the anticipated Closing Date, (ii) provide the wire instructions for delivery of the Purchase Price to the Company and (iii) confirm the Wire Verification Information, if previously provided to Subscriber upon request by Subscriber. No later than 5:00 PM New York City time on two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Subscriber shall deliver the Purchase Price for the Subscribed Shares by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company in the Closing Notice, such funds to be held by the Company in escrow until the Closing, and deliver to the Company such information as is reasonably requested in the Closing Notice in order for the Company to issue the Subscribed Shares to Subscriber, including, without limitation, the legal name of the person in whose name the Subscribed Shares are to be issued and a duly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or appropriate Form W-8. Upon satisfaction (or, if applicable, waiver) of the conditions set forth in this Section 2, the Company shall deliver to Subscriber (i) at the Closing, the Subscribed Shares in book entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions (other than those arising under this Subscription Agreement or applicable securities laws), in the name of Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions), and (ii) as promptly as practicable after the Closing, evidence from the Company’s transfer agent of the issuance to Subscriber of the Subscribed Shares on and as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing two sentences, if Subscriber informs the Company (1) that it is an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (2) that it is advised by an investment adviser subject to regulation under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, then, in lieu of the settlement procedures in the foregoing two sentences, the following shall apply: Subscriber shall deliver at 8:00 a.m. New York City time on the Closing Date the Purchase Price for the Subscribed Shares by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company in the Closing Notice. In the event that (i) the Company does not accept the subscription or (ii) the consummation of the Transactions does not occur within three (3) Business Days after the anticipated Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company and Subscriber, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after the anticipated Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice) return the funds so delivered by Subscriber to the Company by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified by Subscriber, and any book entries shall be deemed cancelled. 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

 

2


satisfied or waived on or prior to the Closing Date, and (y) unless and until this Subscription Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 7 herein, Subscriber shall remain obligated (A) to redeliver funds to the Company in escrow following the Company’s delivery to Subscriber of a new Closing Notice and (B) to consummate the Closing upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2. For the purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which commercial banks are required or authorized to close in the State of New York.

(c) The Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction, or valid waiver in writing by each of the parties hereto, of the conditions that, on the Closing Date:

 

  (i)

  (ii)

all conditions precedent to the closing of the Transactions set forth in the Transaction Agreement shall have been satisfied (as determined by the parties to the Transaction Agreement) or waived (other than those conditions which, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the closing of the Transactions pursuant to the Transaction Agreement or by the Closing itself, but subject to their satisfaction or valid waiver at the closing of the Transactions), and the closing of the Transactions shall be scheduled to occur substantially concurrently with or immediately following the Closing; and

 

  (iii)

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 the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise restraining or prohibiting consummation of the transactions or the Subscription contemplated hereby and no such governmental authority shall have instituted or threatened in writing a proceeding seeking to impose any such restraint or prohibition.

(d) The obligation of the Company to consummate the Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction or valid waiver in writing by the Company of the additional conditions that, on the Closing Date:

 

  (i)

all representations and warranties of Subscriber 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 Subscriber Material Adverse Effect (as defined below), which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) at and as of the Closing Date; and

 

  (ii)

Subscriber shall not be in material breach of any covenant, agreement or condition required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to the Closing.

 

3


(e) The obligation of Subscriber to consummate the Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction or valid waiver in writing by Subscriber of the additional conditions that, on the Closing Date:

 

  (i)

Each of the respective representations and warranties of each of the Company and Fathom 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 Company Material Adverse Effect and Fathom Material Adverse Effect (each as defined below), which such respective representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) at and as of the Closing Date;

 

  (ii)

the Company shall not be in material breach of any covenant, agreement or condition required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to the Closing; and

 

  (iii)

the terms of the Transaction Agreement shall not have been amended or modified in a manner that would materially and adversely affect Subscriber (in its capacity as such) without Subscriber’s prior written consent.

(f) Prior to or at the Closing, each of the Company and Subscriber shall deliver all such other information as is reasonably requested by the other party in order for the Company to issue the Subscribed Shares to Subscriber.

Section 3. Company Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to Subscriber and the Placement Agents (as defined below) that:

(a) The Company (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, (ii) has the requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties, to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement, and (iii) is duly licensed or qualified to conduct its business and, if applicable, is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction (other than its jurisdiction of incorporation) in which the conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties or assets requires such license or qualification, except, with respect to the foregoing clause (iii), where the failure to be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, a “Company Material Adverse Effect” means an event, change, development, occurrence, condition or effect with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries, taken together as a whole (on a consolidated basis), that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the issuance and sale of the Subscribed Shares.

(b) As of the Closing Date, the Subscribed Shares will be duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to Subscriber against full payment therefor in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will not have been issued in violation of any preemptive rights created under the Company’s organizational documents (as adopted on or prior to the Closing Date), by contract, or the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation.

 

4


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

(d) The execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Subscribed Shares and the compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Company pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject; (ii) the organizational documents of the Company; or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties that, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(e) The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization (including a national securities exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange (such national securities exchange, the “Stock Exchange”)) or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Subscribed Shares), other than (i) filings required by applicable state securities laws, (ii), the filing of the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 6 below, (iii) those required by the Stock Exchange, including with respect to obtaining stockholder approval, (iv) those required to consummate the Transactions as provided under the Transaction Agreement, (v) the filing of notification under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, if applicable, and (vi) other filings, the failure of which to obtain would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(f) Except for such matters as have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, there is no (i) suit, action, investigation, proceeding or arbitration before a governmental authority or arbitrator pending, or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing against the Company or any of its directors or officers in their capacities as such or (ii) judgment, decree, injunction, ruling or order of any governmental authority or arbitrator outstanding against the Company or any of its directors or officers in their capacities as such.

(g) Assuming the accuracy of Subscriber’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 of this Subscription Agreement, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Subscribed Shares by the Company to Subscriber.

 

5


(h) Neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf has engaged or will engage in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) in connection with any offer or sale of the Collective Subscribed Shares. Neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf has offered or will offer any of the Collective Subscribed Shares in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

(i) The Company is in compliance with all applicable laws and has not received any written communication from a governmental entity that alleges that the Company is not in compliance with or is in default or violation of any applicable law, except where such non-compliance, default or violation would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(j) Except for J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“JPM”) and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (“Stifel” and together with JPM, the “Placement Agents”), no broker or finder is entitled to any brokerage or finder’s fee or commission solely in connection with the sale of the Subscribed Shares to Subscriber.

(k) The Company has filed each form, report, statement, schedule, prospectus, proxy and registration statement (the “SEC Documents”) that the Company was required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) since its initial registration of the Class A Common Shares with the Commission and through the date hereof. As of their respective filing dates (the “Filing Dates”), the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder and currently in effect at the Filing Date, and none of the SEC Documents, when filed, or if amended prior to the date of this Subscription Agreement, as of the date of such amendment with respect to those disclosures that were amended, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. A copy of each SEC Document is available to Subscriber via the Commission’s EDGAR system. As of the date hereof, there are, and upon Closing there shall be, no outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Commission with respect to any of the SEC Documents.

(l) As of the date hereof, the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares (“Class A ordinary shares”) are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and are listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “ATMR” (it being understood that the trading symbol will be changed in connection with the Transactions).

The Company has taken no action that is designed to terminate the registration of the shares under the Exchange Act. Upon consummation of the Transactions, the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Shares will continue to be registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and will be listed for trading on the Stock Exchange (as defined herein).

 

6

(n) Other than the Other Subscription Agreements entered into with the Other Subscribers, neither the Company nor Fathom has not entered into any side letter or similar agreement that materially benefits any Other Subscriber (in such Other Subscriber’s capacity as an Other Subscriber) with respect to the terms of the Subscription. No Other Subscription Agreement or other document with respect to any PIPE Investment includes terms and conditions with respect to the Subscription that are more materially advantageous to any Other Subscriber (in such Other Subscriber’s capacity as an Other Subscriber) or other party than to Subscriber hereunder, and there has been no amendment, modification or waiver under any such Other Subscription Agreements following the date of the Subscription Agreement.

(o) As of the date of this Subscription Agreement, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of (a) 500,000,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 34,500,000 are issued and outstanding, (b) 50,000,000 shares of Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B ordinary shares”), of which 8,625,000 are issued and outstanding, and (c) 5,000,000 preference shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Preferred Shares”), of which no shares are issued and outstanding. As of the date of this Subscription Agreement, the Company has 8,625,000 public warrants outstanding and 9,900,000 private placement warrants outstanding. Each private placement warrant and public warrant is exercisable for one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. Except as set forth in this Section 3(o), the SEC Documents and pursuant to the Other Subscription Agreements and the Transaction Agreement, there are no outstanding options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for, purchase or acquire from the Company any Class A ordinary shares, Class B ordinary shares or any other equity interests in the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any such Class A ordinary shares, Class B ordinary shares or other equity interests. There are no stockholder agreements, voting trusts or other agreements or understandings to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound relating to the voting of any securities of the Company, other than (A) as set forth in the SEC Documents and (B) as contemplated by the Transaction Agreement.

Section 4. Fathom Representations and Warranties. Fathom represents and warrants to Subscriber and the Placement Agents that:

(a) Fathom (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation, (ii) has the requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties, to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement, and (iii) is duly licensed or qualified to conduct its business and, if applicable, is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction (other than its jurisdiction of formation) in which the conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties or assets requires such license or qualification, except, with respect to the foregoing clause (iii), where the failure to be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Fathom Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, a “Fathom Material Adverse Effect” means an event, change, development, occurrence, condition or effect with respect to Fathom and its subsidiaries, taken together as a whole (on a consolidated basis), that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Fathom’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

7


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

(c) The execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Subscribed Shares and the compliance by Fathom with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of Fathom pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which Fathom is a party or by which Fathom is bound or to which any of the property or assets of Fathom is subject; (ii) the organizational documents of Fathom; or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over Fathom or any of its properties that, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), would reasonably be expected to have a Fathom Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5. Subscriber Representations and Warranties. Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company and Fathom that:

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

(c) The execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement, the purchase of the Subscribed Shares and the compliance by Subscriber with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of Subscriber pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which Subscriber is a party or by which Subscriber is bound or to which any of the property or assets of Subscriber is subject; (ii) the organizational documents of Subscriber; or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction

Agreement. Subscriber acknowledges that certain information provided to Subscriber was based on projections, and such projections were prepared based on assumptions and estimates that are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections. Subscriber agrees that neither of the Placement Agents, nor any of their respective affiliates or any of their or their respective affiliates’ control persons, officers, directors or employees, shall be liable to Subscriber pursuant to this Subscription Agreement for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Subscribed Shares. On behalf of itself and its affiliates, Subscriber releases each of the Placement Agents in respect of any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements related to this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(g) In making its decision to purchase the Subscribed Shares, Subscriber has relied solely upon independent investigation made by Subscriber. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber has received such information as Subscriber deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Subscribed Shares, including with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries and the Transactions. Subscriber represents and agrees that Subscriber and Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as Subscriber and such undersigned’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Subscribed Shares. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber acknowledges that it has received (or in the case of documents filed with the Commission, had access to) the Company’s filings with the Commission and any disclosure documents provided by or on behalf of the Company or Fathom in connection with this Subscription. Subscriber acknowledges that no statement or printed material contrary to any such disclosure documents has been made or given to Subscriber by or on behalf of the Company or Fathom. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that none of the Placement Agents, or any affiliate of the Placement Agents, has provided Subscriber with any information or advice with respect to the Subscribed Shares nor is such information or advice necessary or desired. None of the Placement Agents or any of their respective affiliates has made or makes any representation as to the Company or Fathom or the quality or value of the Subscribed Shares and the Placement Agents and any of their respective affiliates may have acquired non-public information with respect to the Company or the Acquired Companies which Subscriber agrees need not be provided to it. In connection with the issuance of the Subscribed Shares to Subscriber, (a) none of the Placement Agents or any of their respective affiliates has acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary to Subscriber, and (b) each of the Placement Agents is acting solely as placement agent to the Company and is not acting as an underwriter or in any other capacity or as a fiduciary for the Company, Fathom or any other person or entity in connection with the Transaction and (c) none of the Placement Agents or any of their respective affiliates has prepared any disclosure or offering document in connection with the offer and sale of the Subscribed Shares. Subscriber acknowledges that the Placement Agents and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives and controlling persons have made no independent investigation with respect to the Company, Fathom or the Subscribed Shares or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of any information supplied to Subscriber by the Company and/or Fathom.

 

10


(h) Subscriber became aware of this offering of the Subscribed Shares solely by means of direct contact between Subscriber and the Company, Fathom, or their respective representatives or affiliates, or by means of contact from the Placement Agents and the Subscribed Shares were offered to Subscriber solely by direct contact between Subscriber and the Company, Fathom or their respective affiliates. Subscriber did not become aware of this offering of the Subscribed Shares, nor were the Subscribed Shares offered to Subscriber, by any other means. Subscriber acknowledges that the Company represents and warrants that the Subscribed Shares (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws.

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

(k) Subscriber has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Subscribed Shares and determined that the Subscribed Shares are a suitable investment for Subscriber and that Subscriber is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of Subscriber’s investment in the Company. Subscriber acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

(l) Subscriber understands and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Subscribed Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.

(m) Subscriber is not, and is not owned or controlled by or acting on behalf of (in connection with the Transactions), a Sanctioned Person.

Subscriber further represents and warrants that, to its best knowledge, the funds held by Subscriber and used to purchase the Subscribed Shares are derived from lawful activities. For purposes of this Agreement, “Sanctioned Person” means at any time any person or entity: (a) listed on any Sanctions-related list of designated or blocked or restricted persons; (b) that is a national of, the government of, or any agency or instrumentality of the government of, or resident in, or organized under the laws of, a country or territory that is the target of comprehensive Sanctions from time to time (as of the date of this Agreement, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea region); or (c) owned or controlled by or acting on behalf of any of the foregoing. “Sanctions” means those trade, economic and financial sanctions laws, regulations, embargoes, and restrictive measures (in each case having the force of law) administered, enacted or enforced from time to time by (a) the United States (including without limitation the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Department of State, and the U.S. Department of Commerce), (b) the European Union and enforced by its member states, (c) the United Nations, (d) Her Majesty’s Treasury and (e) the Cayman Islands.

Part 800.244) will acquire a substantial interest in the Company as a result of the purchase and sale of Subscribed Shares hereunder such that a declaration to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States would be mandatory under 31 C.F.R. Part 800.401, and no foreign person will have control (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.208) over the Company from and after the Closing as a result of the purchase and sale of Subscribed Shares hereunder.

Section 6. Registration of Subscribed Shares.

(a) The Company agrees that the Company will file with the Commission (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Subscribed Shares (the “Registration Statement”) no later than (30) calendar days after the Closing Date, 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) sixty (60) calendar days after the filing thereof (or, in the event the Commission reviews and has written comments to the Registration Statement, the ninetieth (90th) calendar day following the filing thereof) and (ii) the tenth (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 ((i) and (ii) collectively, the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, that if such day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the Commission is closed for business, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to the next Business Day on which the Commission is open for business. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide a draft of the Registration Statement to the undersigned for review and comment at least two (2) Business Days in advance of filing the Registration Statement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be required to delay or postpone the filing of such Registration Statement as a result of or in connection with Subscriber’s review. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Subscriber, Subscriber shall not be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the Commission or another regulatory agency; provided, that if the Commission or another regulatory agency requests that a Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, Subscriber will have the opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement prior to the Registration Statement becoming effective upon its prompt written request to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Company from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Subscribed Shares by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Subscribed Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Subscribed Shares as is permitted by the Commission. In such event, the number of Subscribed Shares to be registered for each selling stockholder named

 

13


in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional Subscribed Shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement to register such additional Subscribed Shares that were not included in the initial Registration Statement and cause such amendment or Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable. The Company agrees that, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to remain effective with respect to Subscriber until the earlier of (i) two years from the issuance of the Subscribed Shares, (ii) the date on which all of the Subscribed Shares shall have been sold, or (iii) on the first date on which the undersigned can sell all of its Subscribed Shares (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such securities that may be sold 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). If requested by Subscriber, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause the removal of the restrictive legends from any Subscribed Shares being sold under the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 at the time of sale of such Registrable Securities (as defined below) and, at the request of a Holder (as defined below), cause the removal of all restrictive legends from any Registrable Securities held by such Holder that may be sold by such Holder without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions, and (ii) cause its legal counsel to deliver an opinion, if necessary, to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under subclause (i) to the effect that the removal of such restrictive legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act, in each case upon the receipt of customary representations and other documentation, if any, from the Holder as reasonably requested by the Company, its counsel or the transfer agent, establishing that restrictive legends are no longer required. Any costs related to the foregoing, including fees of the transfer agent, DTC and legal counsel to the Company shall be borne by the Company. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to make and keep public information available (as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144) and file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable Holder to resell Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144, as applicable, qualify the Registrable Securities for listing on the applicable stock exchange on which the Company’s Class A Common Shares are then listed and update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include Registrable Securities. “Registrable Securities” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the Subscribed Shares and any other equity security issued or issuable with respect to the Subscribed Shares by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event, provided, however, that such securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities at the earliest of (A) three (3) years, (B) the date all Subscribed Shares held by a Holder may be sold by such Holder without volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to 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), (C) the date on which such securities have actually been sold by a Holder, or (D) when such securities shall have ceased to be outstanding. “Holder” shall mean Subscriber or any affiliate of Subscriber to which the rights under this Section 6 shall have been assigned. The Company’s obligations to include the Subscribed Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the

 

14


Company held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Subscribed Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Subscribed Shares, and Subscriber 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, including providing that the Company shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder; provided that Subscriber shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer Subscriber Shares. In the case of the registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration. Subscriber shall not be entitled to use the Registration Statement for an underwritten offering of Subscribed Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may delay or postpone filing of such Registration Statement, and from time to time require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or suspend the use or effectiveness of any such Registration Statement if it determines that in order for the registration statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, or if, in the reasonable determination of the Company’s board of directors, upon advice of legal counsel, such filing or use could materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Company or would require premature disclosure of information that could materially adversely affect the Company (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, that, (w) the Company shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of the Registration Statement for a period of more than sixty (60) consecutive days or more than two (2) times in any three hundred sixty (360) day period and (x) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such registration statement available for the sale by the undersigned of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter.

(b) In the case of the registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration. At its expense the Company shall:

(i) advise Subscriber, as expeditiously as possible:

(i) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission;

(ii) after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, 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;

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

(iv) 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

 

15


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

 

  (ii)

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

 

  (iii)

upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 6(b)(i)(iv) 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 Subscribed 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

 

  (iv)

use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow Subscriber to review disclosure regarding Subscriber in the Registration Statement; and

 

  (v)

otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by Subscriber, consistent with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, in connection with the registration of the Subscribed Shares.

(c) Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding the Company) of the occurrence 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 Subscribed 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, subpoena or regulatory request or requirement. If so directed by the Company, the undersigned

 

16


will deliver to the Company, or in the undersigned’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares in the undersigned’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares shall not apply (w) 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 (x) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

Section 7. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms without being consummated, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of all parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) if, on the Closing Date of the Transactions, any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 2 of this Subscription Agreement have not been satisfied as of the time required hereunder to be so satisfied or waived by the party entitled to grant such waiver and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated or (d) by written notice from Subscriber or any other party given anytime on or after December 31, 2021, if the Closing has not occurred by such date and the terminating party’s breach was not the primary reason the Closing failed to occur by such date, (the termination events described in clauses (a)–(d) above, collectively, the “Termination Events”); provided, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination or common law intentional fraud in the making of any representation or warranty hereunder, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach or fraud. The Company shall notify Subscriber of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination thereof. Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event, except as set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of this Section 7, this Subscription Agreement shall be void and of no further effect and any portion of the Purchase Price paid by Subscriber to Company in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within two business days) following the Termination Event be returned to Subscriber.

Section 8. Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber hereby acknowledges that the Company has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders and certain other parties (including the underwriters of the IPO). For and in consideration of the Company entering into this Subscription Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber hereby (a) agrees that it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any assets held in the Trust Account, and shall not make any claim against the Trust Account, in each case arising out of or as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Released Claims”), (b) irrevocably waives any Released Claims that it may have against the Trust Account now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of this Subscription Agreement

 

17


and the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, and (c) will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8 shall be deemed to limit any Subscriber’s right to distributions from the Trust Account in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation in respect of shares of Class A Common Shares of the Company acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

Section 9. Indemnity.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, Subscriber, its directors, and officers, employees, and agents, and each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) and each affiliate of Subscriber (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of Subscriber expressly for use therein.

(b) Subscriber agrees, severally and not jointly with any person that is a party to the Other Subscription Agreements, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) and each affiliate of the Company against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of Subscriber expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Company upon the sale of the Subscribed Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Each of the Company and Fathom acknowledge and agree that each purchase by Subscriber of Subscribed Shares from the Company will constitute a reaffirmation of each of the respective acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein (as modified by such notice) made by each of the Company and Fathom as of the time of such purchase.

(c) 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. An indemnifying party who elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(d) 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, employee, agent, affiliate or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Subscribed Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

(e) If the indemnification provided under this Section 9 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient 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 or on behalf of, 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 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 contribution pursuant to this Section 9 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Any contribution pursuant to this Section 9(e) by any seller of Subscribed Shares shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Subscribed Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event will any party be liable for consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages in connection with this Subscription Agreement.

(k) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) this Subscription Agreement is being entered into in order to induce the Company and Fathom to execute and deliver the Transaction Agreement and (ii) irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that money or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for such damage. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to equitable relief, including in the form of an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened

 

21


breaches of this Subscription Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Company and Fathom shall each be entitled to specifically enforce Subscriber’s obligations to fund the Subscription Amount and the provisions of the Subscription Agreement, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree: (x) to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy; (y) not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement pursuant to this Section 10(k) is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable law or inequitable for any reason; and (z) to waive any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(l) In any dispute arising out of or related to this Subscription Agreement, or any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated hereby, or any transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the applicable adjudicating body shall award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the dispute and the enforcement of its rights under this Subscription Agreement or any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated hereby and, if the adjudicating body determines a party to be the prevailing party under circumstances where the prevailing party won on some but not all of the claims and counterclaims, the adjudicating body may award the prevailing party an appropriate percentage of the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred and documented by the prevailing party in connection with the adjudication and the enforcement of its rights under this Subscription Agreement or any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated hereby or thereby.

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

(n) No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Subscription Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without such notice or demand.

(o) This Subscription Agreement may be executed and delivered 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.

Nothing contained herein or in any Other Subscription Agreement, and no action taken by Subscriber or investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Subscriber and Other Subscribers or other investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that Subscriber and Other Subscribers or other investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements. Subscriber acknowledges that no Other Subscriber has acted as agent for Subscriber in connection with making its investment hereunder and no Other Subscriber will be acting as agent of Subscriber in connection with monitoring its investment in the Subscribed Shares or enforcing its rights under this Subscription Agreement.

II, a Cayman limited exempted company (the “Company”), Fathom Holdco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Fathom”), and the undersigned subscriber (“Subscriber”). Prior to the closing of the Transactions (as defined below), the Company will domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, and the Cayman Islands Companies Act (2021 Revision) (the “Domestication”).

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Subscription Agreement, the Company and Fathom are, together with the other parties thereto, entering into that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, providing for a business combination between the Company and Fathom (as amended, modified, supplemented or waived from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Transaction Agreement” and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement to be completed on and prior to the closing date thereof, the “Transactions”) pursuant to which, among other things, in the manner, and on the terms and subject to the conditions and exclusions set forth in the Transaction Agreement, the Company is combining with Fathom;

WHEREAS, in connection with the Transactions, Subscriber desires to subscribe for and purchase from the Company, following the Domestication but immediately prior to the consummation of the Transactions, that number of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Shares”), set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Subscribed Shares”) for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Per Share Price” and the aggregate of such Per Share Price for all Subscribed Shares being referred to herein as the “Purchase Price”), and the Company desires to issue and sell to Subscriber the Subscribed Shares in consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price by or on behalf of Subscriber to the Company; and

WHEREAS, on or about the date of this Subscription Agreement, the Company is entering into other subscription agreements (the “Other Subscription Agreements” and together with this Subscription Agreement, the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain other institutional “accredited investors” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) or “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) (the “Other Subscribers” and together with Subscriber, the “Subscribers”), pursuant to which such Other Subscribers have agreed to purchase additional Class A Common Shares on the closing date of the Transactions (the “Other Subscribed Shares” and together with the Subscribed Shares, the “Collective Subscribed Shares”).

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

Section 1. Subscription. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing (as defined below), Subscriber hereby agrees to subscribe for and purchase, and the Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to Subscriber, upon the payment of the Purchase Price, the Subscribed Shares (such subscription and issuance, the “Subscription”). Subscriber understands that, pursuant to the Domestication, the Subscribed Shares that will be issued pursuant hereto shall be shares of

common stock in a Delaware corporation. Upon Subscriber’s request, the Company shall deliver to Subscriber: (i) a duly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8BenE, as applicable and (ii) the names, email addresses and telephone numbers of two company contacts (the “Wire Verification Information”). The Company shall deliver the Wire Verification Information as soon as practicable upon receiving such request from the Subscriber.

Section 2. Closing.

(a) The consummation of the Subscription contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall occur on the closing date of the Transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement (the “Closing Date”), immediately prior to or substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Transactions to be completed on the Closing Date.

(b) At least six (6) Business Days before the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall deliver written notice to Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”) which shall: (i) specify the anticipated Closing Date, (ii) provide the wire instructions for delivery of the Purchase Price to the Company and (iii) confirm the Wire Verification Information, if previously provided to Subscriber upon request by Subscriber. No later than 5:00 PM New York City time on two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Subscriber shall deliver the Purchase Price for the Subscribed Shares by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company in the Closing Notice, such funds to be held by the Company in escrow until the Closing, and deliver to the Company such information as is reasonably requested in the Closing Notice in order for the Company to issue the Subscribed Shares to Subscriber, including, without limitation, the legal name of the person in whose name the Subscribed Shares are to be issued and a duly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or appropriate Form W-8. Upon satisfaction (or, if applicable, waiver) of the conditions set forth in this Section 2, the Company shall deliver to Subscriber (i) at the Closing, the Subscribed Shares in book entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions (other than those arising under this Subscription Agreement or applicable securities laws), in the name of Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions), and (ii) as promptly as practicable after the Closing, evidence from the Company’s transfer agent of the issuance to Subscriber of the Subscribed Shares on and as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing two sentences, if Subscriber informs the Company (1) that it is an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (2) that it is advised by an investment adviser subject to regulation under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, then, in lieu of the settlement procedures in the foregoing two sentences, the following shall apply: Subscriber shall deliver at 8:00 a.m. New York City time on the Closing Date the Purchase Price for the Subscribed Shares by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company in the Closing Notice.

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

 

2


satisfied or waived on or prior to the Closing Date, and (y) unless and until this Subscription Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 7 herein, Subscriber shall remain obligated (A) to redeliver funds to the Company in escrow following the Company’s delivery to Subscriber of a new Closing Notice and (B) to consummate the Closing upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.

  (iii)

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 the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise restraining or prohibiting consummation of the transactions or the Subscription contemplated hereby and no such governmental authority shall have instituted or threatened in writing a proceeding seeking to impose any such restraint or prohibition.

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

(d) The execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Subscribed Shares and the compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Company pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject; (ii) the organizational documents of the Company; or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties that, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(i) The Company is in compliance with all applicable laws and has not received any written communication from a governmental entity that alleges that the Company is not in compliance with or is in default or violation of any applicable law, except where such non-compliance, default or violation would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

A copy of each SEC Document is available to Subscriber via the Commission’s EDGAR system. As of the date hereof, there are, and upon Closing there shall be, no outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Commission with respect to any of the SEC Documents.

(l) As of the date hereof, the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares (“Class A ordinary shares”) are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and are listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “ATMR” (it being understood that the trading symbol will be changed in connection with the Transactions).

The Company has taken no action that is designed to terminate the registration of the shares under the Exchange Act. Upon consummation of the Transactions, the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Shares will continue to be registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and will be listed for trading on the Stock Exchange (as defined herein).

No Other Subscription Agreement or other document with respect to any PIPE Investment includes terms and conditions with respect to the Subscription that are more materially advantageous to any Other Subscriber (in such Other Subscriber’s capacity as an Other Subscriber) or other party than to Subscriber hereunder, and there has been no amendment, modification or waiver under any such Other Subscription Agreements following the date of the Subscription Agreement.

Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that none of the Placement Agents, or any affiliate of the Placement Agents, has provided Subscriber with any information or advice with respect to the Subscribed Shares nor is such information or advice necessary or desired. None of the Placement Agents or any of their respective affiliates has made or makes any representation as to the Company or Fathom or the quality or value of the Subscribed Shares and the Placement Agents and any of their respective affiliates may have acquired non-public information with respect to the Company or the Acquired Companies which Subscriber agrees need not be provided to it. In connection with the issuance of the Subscribed Shares to Subscriber, (a) none of the Placement Agents or any of their respective affiliates has acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary to Subscriber, and (b) each of the Placement Agents is acting solely as placement agent to the Company and is not acting as an underwriter or in any other capacity or as a fiduciary for the Company, Fathom or any other person or entity in connection with the Transaction and (c) none of the Placement Agents or any of their respective affiliates has prepared any disclosure or offering document in connection with the offer and sale of the Subscribed Shares.

Section 6. Registration of Subscribed Shares.

(a) The Company agrees that the Company will file with the Commission (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Subscribed Shares (the “Registration Statement”) no later than (30) calendar days after the Closing Date, 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) sixty (60) calendar days after the filing thereof (or, in the event the Commission reviews and has written comments to the Registration Statement, the ninetieth (90th) calendar day following the filing thereof) and (ii) the tenth (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 ((i) and (ii) collectively, the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, that if such day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the Commission is closed for business, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to the next Business Day on which the Commission is open for business. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide a draft of the Registration Statement to the undersigned for review and comment at least two (2) Business Days in advance of filing the Registration Statement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be required to delay or postpone the filing of such Registration Statement as a result of or in connection with Subscriber’s review. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Subscriber, Subscriber shall not be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the Commission or another regulatory agency; provided, that if the Commission or another regulatory agency requests that a Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, Subscriber will have the opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement prior to the Registration Statement becoming effective upon its prompt written request to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Company from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Subscribed Shares by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Subscribed Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Subscribed Shares as is permitted by the Commission. In such event, the number of Subscribed Shares to be registered for each selling stockholder named

 

13


in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional Subscribed Shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement to register such additional Subscribed Shares that were not included in the initial Registration Statement and cause such amendment or Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable. The Company agrees that, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to remain effective with respect to Subscriber until the earlier of (i) two years from the issuance of the Subscribed Shares, (ii) the date on which all of the Subscribed Shares shall have been sold, or (iii) on the first date on which the undersigned can sell all of its Subscribed Shares (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such securities that may be sold 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). If requested by Subscriber, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause the removal of the restrictive legends from any Subscribed Shares being sold under the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 at the time of sale of such Registrable Securities (as defined below) and, at the request of a Holder (as defined below), cause the removal of all restrictive legends from any Registrable Securities held by such Holder that may be sold by such Holder without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions, and (ii) cause its legal counsel to deliver an opinion, if necessary, to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under subclause (i) to the effect that the removal of such restrictive legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act, in each case upon the receipt of customary representations and other documentation, if any, from the Holder as reasonably requested by the Company, its counsel or the transfer agent, establishing that restrictive legends are no longer required. Any costs related to the foregoing, including fees of the transfer agent, DTC and legal counsel to the Company shall be borne by the Company. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to make and keep public information available (as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144) and file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable Holder to resell Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144, as applicable, qualify the Registrable Securities for listing on the applicable stock exchange on which the Company’s Class A Common Shares are then listed and update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include Registrable Securities. “Registrable Securities” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the Subscribed Shares and any other equity security issued or issuable with respect to the Subscribed Shares by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event, provided, however, that such securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities at the earliest of (A) three (3) years, (B) the date all Subscribed Shares held by a Holder may be sold by such Holder without volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to 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), (C) the date on which such securities have actually been sold by a Holder, or (D) when such securities shall have ceased to be outstanding. “Holder” shall mean Subscriber or any affiliate of Subscriber to which the rights under this Section 6 shall have been assigned. The Company’s obligations to include the Subscribed Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the

 

14


Company held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Subscribed Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Subscribed Shares, and Subscriber 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, including providing that the Company shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder; provided that Subscriber shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer Subscriber Shares. In the case of the registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration. Subscriber shall not be entitled to use the Registration Statement for an underwritten offering of Subscribed Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may delay or postpone filing of such Registration Statement, and from time to time require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or suspend the use or effectiveness of any such Registration Statement if it determines that in order for the registration statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, or if, in the reasonable determination of the Company’s board of directors, upon advice of legal counsel, such filing or use could materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Company or would require premature disclosure of information that could materially adversely affect the Company (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, that, (w) the Company shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of the Registration Statement for a period of more than sixty (60) consecutive days or more than two (2) times in any three hundred sixty (360) day period and (x) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such registration statement available for the sale by the undersigned of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter.

(b) In the case of the registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration. At its expense the Company shall:

(i) advise Subscriber, as expeditiously as possible:

(i) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission;

(ii) after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, 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;

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

(iv) 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

 

15


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

 

  (ii)

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

 

  (iii)

upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 6(b)(i)(iv) 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 Subscribed 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

 

  (iv)

use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow Subscriber to review disclosure regarding Subscriber in the Registration Statement; and

 

  (v)

otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by Subscriber, consistent with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, in connection with the registration of the Subscribed Shares.

(c) Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding the Company) of the occurrence 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 Subscribed 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, subpoena or regulatory request or requirement. If so directed by the Company, the undersigned

 

16


will deliver to the Company, or in the undersigned’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares in the undersigned’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares shall not apply (w) 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 (x) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

Section 7. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms without being consummated, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of all parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) if, on the Closing Date of the Transactions, any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 2 of this Subscription Agreement have not been satisfied as of the time required hereunder to be so satisfied or waived by the party entitled to grant such waiver and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated or (d) by written notice from Subscriber or any other party given anytime on or after December 31, 2021, if the Closing has not occurred by such date and the terminating party’s breach was not the primary reason the Closing failed to occur by such date, (the termination events described in clauses (a)–(d) above, collectively, the “Termination Events”); provided, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination or common law intentional fraud in the making of any representation or warranty hereunder, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach or fraud. The Company shall notify Subscriber of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination thereof. Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event, except as set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of this Section 7, this Subscription Agreement shall be void and of no further effect and any portion of the Purchase Price paid by Subscriber to Company in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within two business days) following the Termination Event be returned to Subscriber.

Section 8. Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber hereby acknowledges that the Company has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders and certain other parties (including the underwriters of the IPO). For and in consideration of the Company entering into this Subscription Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber hereby (a) agrees that it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any assets held in the Trust Account, and shall not make any claim against the Trust Account, in each case arising out of or as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Released Claims”), (b) irrevocably waives any Released Claims that it may have against the Trust Account now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of this Subscription Agreement

 

17


and the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, and (c) will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8 shall be deemed to limit any Subscriber’s right to distributions from the Trust Account in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation in respect of shares of Class A Common Shares of the Company acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

Section 9. Indemnity.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, Subscriber, its directors, and officers, employees, and agents, and each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) and each affiliate of Subscriber (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of Subscriber expressly for use therein.

(b) Subscriber agrees, severally and not jointly with any person that is a party to the Other Subscription Agreements, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) and each affiliate of the Company against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of Subscriber expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Company upon the sale of the Subscribed Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Each of the Company and Fathom acknowledge and agree that each purchase by Subscriber of Subscribed Shares from the Company will constitute a reaffirmation of each of the respective acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein (as modified by such notice) made by each of the Company and Fathom as of the time of such purchase.

(c) 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

 

18


the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent. An indemnifying party who elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(d) 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, employee, agent, affiliate or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Subscribed Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

(e) If the indemnification provided under this Section 9 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient 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 or on behalf of, 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 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 contribution pursuant to this Section 9 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Any contribution pursuant to this Section 9(e) by any seller of Subscribed Shares shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Subscribed Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event will any party be liable for consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages in connection with this Subscription Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscriber may assign its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to one or more of its affiliates, other investment funds or accounts managed or advised by the investment manager who acts on behalf of Subscriber or, with the Company’s prior written consent, to another person, provided that no such assignment shall relieve Subscriber of its obligations hereunder if any such assignee fails to perform such obligations.

 

20


(f) All the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, if for any reason the Closing does not occur prior to the consummation of the Transactions, all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties hereunder shall survive the consummation of the Transactions and remain in full force and effect.

(g) The Company may request from Subscriber such additional information as the Company may reasonably deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the Subscribed Shares and to register the Subscribed Shares for resale, and Subscriber shall provide such information as may be reasonably requested to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with Subscriber’s internal policies and procedures; provided that the Company agrees to keep any such information provided by Subscriber confidential except to the extent such disclosure is required in connection with registration of the Subscribed Shares for resale, by law, at the request of the staff of the Commission or under the regulations of the Stock Exchange.

Nothing contained herein or in any Other Subscription Agreement, and no action taken by Subscriber or investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Subscriber and Other Subscribers or other investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that Subscriber and Other Subscribers or other investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements. Subscriber acknowledges that no Other Subscriber has acted as agent for Subscriber in connection with making its investment hereunder and no Other Subscriber will be acting as agent of Subscriber in connection with monitoring its investment in the Subscribed Shares or enforcing its rights under this Subscription Agreement. Subscriber shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Subscription Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Subscriber or investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Securityholder and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Securityholder enforceable against the Securityholder in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.

(d) Other than the filings, notices and reports pursuant to, in compliance with or required to be made under the Exchange Act, no filings, notices, reports, consents, registrations, approvals, permits, waivers, expirations of waiting periods or authorizations are required to be obtained by the Securityholder from, or to be given by the Securityholder to, or be made by the Securityholder with, any Governmental Authority in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Securityholder of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those covenants, agreements and obligations under this Agreement that relate to the provisions of the Business Combination Agreement).

(e) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Securityholder do not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those covenants, agreements and obligations under this Agreement that relate to the provisions of the Business Combination Agreement) will not, constitute or result in (i) if the Securityholder is a legal entity, a breach or violation of, or a default under, the limited liability company agreement or similar governing documents of the Securityholder, (ii) with or without notice, lapse of time or both, a breach or violation of, a termination (or right of termination) of or a default under, the loss of any benefit under, the creation, modification or acceleration of any obligations under or the creation of a Lien on the Covered Units (other than Permitted Liens) pursuant to any contract binding upon the Securityholder or, assuming (solely with respect to performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby), compliance with the matters referred to in Section 4(d), under any applicable Law to which the Securityholder is subject or (iii) any change in the rights or obligations of any party under any contract legally binding upon the Securityholder, except, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) directly above, for any such breach, violation, termination, default, creation, loss, acceleration, Lien or change that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or impair the Securityholder’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those covenants, agreements and obligations under this Agreement that relate to the provisions of the Business Combination Agreement).

 

4


(f) As of the date of this Agreement, there is no action, proceeding or, to the Securityholder’s knowledge, investigation pending against the Securityholder or, to the knowledge of the Securityholder, threatened against the Securityholder that questions the beneficial or record ownership of the Securityholder’s Owned Units, the validity of this Agreement or the performance by the Securityholder of its obligations under this Agreement.

(a) This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule.

Any attempted assignment in violation of the terms of this Section 16 shall be null and void, ab initio.

17. Enforcement.

The parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, including the Securityholder’s obligations to vote its Covered Units as provided in this Agreement or the written consent attached hereto as Exhibit A, without proof of damages, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the parties would have entered into this Agreement.
