Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Merger Agreement
On February 12, 2021, Falcon Capital Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“FCAC” or the “Company”), entered into an agreement and plan of merger by and among FCAC, FCAC Merger Sub Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of FCAC (“Merger Sub”), Sharecare, Inc. (“Sharecare”) and Colin Daniel, solely in his capacity as representative of the Sharecare stockholders (the “Stockholder Representative”) (as may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”). The merger was unanimously approved by FCAC’s board of directors. If the Merger Agreement is approved by FCAC’s and Sharecare’s stockholders, and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated, Merger Sub will merge with and into Sharecare, after which the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Sharecare will survive the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FCAC (the “Business Combination”). In addition, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), FCAC will be renamed “Sharecare, Inc.” and is referred to herein as “New Sharecare” as of the time following such change of name.
Under the Merger Agreement, holders of Sharecare’s equity interests are expected to receive $3.79 billion in aggregate consideration. At the effective time of the Business Combination, Sharecare’s stockholders will have the right to receive consideration in the form of cash and shares of common stock of New Sharecare, subject to proration under certain circumstances specified in the Merger Agreement. In addition, under the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Business Combination, (i) each option to purchase shares of the Sharecare common stock granted under any Sharecare group stock plan that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the effective time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, will be assumed by New Sharecare and shall be converted into an option to purchase shares of New Sharecare, (ii) each holder of Sharecare options entitled to receive New Sharecare options will also receive an additional number of contingent stock options to acquire shares of New Sharecare common stock that will vest upon the earlier of the date set forth in the corresponding New Sharecare options and, in each case with respect to one half of the additional contingent stock options, the achievement of the Earnout Conditions (as defined below), and (iii) each warrant to purchase shares of Sharecare capital stock will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of New Sharecare common stock, in each case as further described under the Merger Agreement.
At the closing of the Business Combination and (i) immediately prior to the effective time, Falcon Equity Investors LLC (the “Sponsor”) will, in accordance with the Sponsor Agreement, deliver to the earnout escrow agent, 1,713,000 shares of FCAC Class B common stock which shares shall be allocated to the Sponsor, and (ii) immediately following the effective time, New Sharecare will deliver electronically to the earnout escrow agent, an amount of shares of New Sharecare common stock equal to (A) the total number of shares of Sharecare common stock issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time multiplied by (B) an earnout ratio determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement, which shares shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among the Sharecare stockholders who have received shares of New Sharecare common stock and the specified holders of Sharecare warrants who have received shares of New Sharecare common stock (the “Sharecare Stockholder Group”). Such shares shall be released and delivered such that (i) one-half of such shares will be released to the Sponsor or the Shareholder Stockholder Group (on a pro rata basis), as applicable, if the volume-weighted average price of shares of New Sharecare common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for 20 of any 30 consecutive trading days or New Sharecare consummates a transaction resulting in stockholders having the right to receive consideration equal to or exceeding $12.50 per share, and (ii) one-half of such shares will be released to the Sponsor or the Shareholder Stockholder Group (on a pro rata basis) if the volume-weighted average price of shares of New Sharecare common stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share for 20 of any 30 consecutive trading days or New Sharecare consummates a transaction resulting in stockholders having the right to receive consideration equal to or exceeding $15.00 per share, in each case on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (the conditions described in clauses (i) and (ii), the “Earnout Conditions”). If such conditions have not been satisfied following the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, any earnout shares remaining in the earnout escrow account shall be automatically released to New Sharecare for cancellation and neither the members of the Sharecare Stockholder Group nor the Sponsor shall have any right to receive such earnout shares or any benefit therefrom.
1
The parties to the Merger Agreement have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, among others, covenants with respect to the conduct of Sharecare and FCAC and its subsidiaries prior to the closing of the Business Combination.
The closing of the Business Combination is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among other things: (i) the expiration or termination of the waiting period (or any extension thereof) applicable under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the “HSR Act”), (ii) FCAC shall not have redeemed shares of its Class A common stock in an amount that would cause FCAC to have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets, (iii) the required stockholder approval of stockholders of FCAC shall have been obtained for the Business Combination, (iv) the required stockholder approval of stockholders of Sharecare shall have been obtained for the Business Combination, (v) the common stock of stockholders of New Sharecare to be issued in connection with the Business Combination shall have been approved for listing on Nasdaq, (vi) Sharecare shall have consummated the doc.ai acquisition, (vii) from the date of the Merger Agreement, there shall not have occurred any material adverse effect, or any change or effect that, individually or in the aggregate would result in a material adverse effect with respect to Sharecare, (viii) the investment in Sharecare from a specified third-party strategic investor shall have been consummated and (ix) the aggregate cash available to FCAC at closing from the trust account and the Equity Financing (after giving effect to the redemption of any shares of FCAC common stock in connection with the offer, but before giving effect to the consummation of the closing and the payment of outstanding transaction expenses, transaction bonuses and the payoff indebtedness, or the consummation of the doc.ai acquisition) plus the proceeds of the Strategic Financing shall equal or exceed $400,000,000.
The Merger Agreement may be terminated by FCAC or Sharecare under certain circumstances, including, among others, (i) by written consent of FCAC and Sharecare, (ii) by either FCAC or Sharecare if the closing of the Business Combination has not occurred on or before August 31, 2021, (iii) by FCAC or Sharecare if FCAC has not obtained the required approval of its stockholders, and (iv) by FCAC if the Sharecare requisite approval is not obtained by the specified timeline.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the parties to the Merger Agreement made to each other as of the date of the Merger 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 Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide any other factual information about FCAC, Sharecare or any other party to the Merger Agreement. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Merger Agreement, which were made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger 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 Merger 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 Merger Agreement. In addition, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements and other terms of the Merger 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 Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.

The Sponsor also agreed that it would not (a) sell, assign, transfer (including by operation of law), create any lien or pledge, dispose of or otherwise encumber any of the shares of FCAC beneficially owned by it, (b) deposit any such shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto that is inconsistent with the Merger Agreement or (c) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement requiring the direct acquisition or sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of any such shares.
In addition, the Sponsor agreed not to solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage any transaction in violation of the Merger Agreement or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any information with the intent to any unsolicited proposal that constitutes, or any reasonably be expected to lead to, a business combination proposal or other transaction in violation of the Merger Agreement.

Sharecare Support Agreements
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain Sharecare securityholders (the “Sharecare Supporting Securityholders”) entered into a support agreement with FCAC and Sharecare (the “Support Agreement”). Under the Support Agreement-, each Sharecare Supporting Securityholder agreed, as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within five business days) following the SEC declaring the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the approval by FCAC securityholders of the Business Combination effective, to execute and deliver a written consent with respect to the outstanding securities of (i) Sharecare common stock and preferred stock and (ii) securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Sharecare capital stock, held by such Sharecare Supporting Securityholder adopting the Merger Agreement and approving the Business Combination. In addition, each Sharecare Supporting Securityholder agreed to voluntarily convert any convertible notes it owns into the applicable series of preferred stock in connection with the Business Combination and agreed that any warrants it owns would convert into New Sharecare common stock in connection with the Business Combination.
The shares of Sharecare common stock and preferred stock and such convertible securities that are owned by the Sharecare supporting securityholders and subject to the Support Agreements represent approximately 66.8% of the outstanding voting power of Sharecare common stock, preferred stock and securities (on an as converted basis).
The Support Agreements prohibit the Sharecare Supporting Securityholders from engaging in activities that have the effect of soliciting a competing acquisition proposal. In addition, the Support Agreements restrict the transfer of shares covered by the Support Agreements.

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. The Company’s and Sharecare’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,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Company’s and Sharecare’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 the Company’s and Sharecare’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 the Company and Sharecare following the announcement of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; (2) the inability to complete the Business Combination, including due to failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of the Company or Sharecare, approvals or other determinations from certain regulatory authorities, or other conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement; (3) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement or could otherwise cause the transactions contemplated therein to fail to close; (4) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of New Sharecare’s common stock on Nasdaq following the 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 inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the inability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; (7) costs related to the Business Combination; (8) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (9) the possibility that Sharecare or New Sharecare may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (10) New Sharecare’s ability to raise financing in the future and to comply with restrictive covenants related to long-term indebtedness; (11) the impact of COVID-19 on Sharecare’s business and/or the ability of the parties to complete the Business Combination; and (12) 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 the Company’s other filings with the SEC. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company 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.

(b) immediately prior to the Effective Time, each share of Acquiror Class B Common Stock that is issued and outstanding as of such time shall automatically convert in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation into one (1) share of Acquiror Class A Common Stock (the “Sponsor Stock Conversion”). All of the shares of Acquiror Class B Common Stock converted into shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Acquiror Class B Common Stock shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such securities;
(c) at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Company Stockholder, subject to and in consideration of the terms and conditions set forth herein (including delivery of the release contemplated by Section 3.3(a)(ii)), each share of Company Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Dissenting Shares), shall be converted into the right to receive the following:
(i) the holder of such share shall be deemed to have made a proper election to receive cash (a “Cash Election”) (A) if such Company Stockholder holds a number of shares of Company Common Stock that represents 7.75% or more of such holder’s Aggregate Equity, with respect to a number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to 7.75% of such holder’s Aggregate Equity, and (B) if such Company Stockholder holds a number of shares of Company Common Stock that represents less than 7.75% of such holder’s Aggregate Equity, with respect to all of such Company Stockholder’s Company Common Stock (each such share, a “Cash Electing Share”), an amount in cash for such Cash Electing Share, without interest, equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration Value, except that if (A) the sum of the aggregate number of Dissenting Shares and the aggregate number of Cash Electing Shares, multiplied by (B) the Per Share Merger Consideration Value (such product, the “Aggregate Cash Election Amount”) exceeds the Cash Consideration, then each Cash Electing Share shall be converted into the right to receive (x) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (1) the Per Share Merger Consideration Value and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Cash Consideration and the denominator of which shall be the Aggregate Cash Election Amount (such fraction, the “Cash Fraction”) and (y) a number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of PubCo Common Stock equal to the product of (1) the Per Share Merger Consideration Value and (2) one minus the Cash Fraction;
25
(ii) the holder of such share shall be deemed to have made a proper election to receive shares of PubCo Common Stock (a “Stock Election”) with respect to any shares of Company Common Stock that are not Cash Electing Shares (each such share, a “Stock Electing Share”), the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration; and
(iii) if the Cash Consideration Excess is greater than zero, then the amount of such Cash Consideration Excess shall remain at the Company.
All of the shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive consideration as described in this Section 3.1(c) shall no longer be outstanding and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Company Common Stock shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such securities, except the right to receive the applicable consideration described in this Section 3.1(c) into which such share of Company Common Stock shall have been converted into in the Merger. The Company shall also make all computations contemplated by this Section 3.1(c), in consultation with Acquiror;
(d) at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Company Stockholder, subject to and in consideration of the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the transaction documents with respect to the Strategic Financing, including the Strategic Investor LOI, each share of Series D Preferred that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of PubCo Preferred Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio;
(e) at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder thereof, each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall thereupon be converted into and become one validly issued fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Company and all such shares shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Company as of immediately following the Effective Time; and
(f) at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder thereof, each share of Company Capital Stock held in the treasury of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.
26
3.2 Equitable Adjustments. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, shares of Company Preferred Stock or shares of Acquiror Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, or if there shall have been any breach of Section 5.15(a) of this Agreement by Acquiror with respect to the number of its issued and outstanding shares of Acquiror Common Stock (or any other issued and outstanding equity security interests in Acquiror) or rights to acquire Acquiror Common Stock (or any other equity security interests in Acquiror), then any number, value (including dollar value) or amount contained herein which is based upon the number of shares of Company Common Stock, shares of Company Preferred Stock or shares of Acquiror Common Stock (or any other equity security interests in Acquiror), as applicable, will be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of Company Common Stock, the holders of shares of Company Preferred Stock or the holders of Acquiror Common Stock, as applicable, the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, however, that this Section 3.2 shall not be construed to permit Acquiror, the Company or Merger Sub to take any action with respect to their respective securities that is prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
3.3 Delivery of Merger Consideration.
(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, Acquiror shall cause to be mailed to each Specified Noteholder, each Specified Warrantholder, each holder of record of Company Common Stock and each holder of Company Preferred Stock at the address provided to Acquiror by the Company, a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), which shall (i) have customary representations and warranties as to title, authorization, execution and delivery, (ii) have a customary release of all claims against PubCo and the Company arising out of or related to such holder’s ownership of shares of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock, Convertible Notes or Company Warrants (including, an acknowledgement that, by making a Cash Election, such stockholder waives any and all rights to receive Earnout Shares with respect to each Cash Electing Share), (iii) include the agreement of such stockholder to the appointment of Colin Daniel as the Stockholder Representative and his, her or its representative, attorney-in-fact and agent and to the other terms, conditions and provisions of Section 11.16, (iv) include the agreement of such stockholder that by making a Stock Election, such stockholder agrees that any shares of PubCo Common Stock (including Earnout Shares) shall not be transferred by such stockholder for a period of 180 days commencing on the Closing Date, and (v) specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the shares of Company Common Stock shall pass, only upon delivery of the shares of Company Common Stock to Acquiror (including all certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Certificate” and, collectively, the “Company Certificates”), to the extent such shares of Company Common Stock are certificated), together with instructions thereto.
(b) Upon the receipt of a Letter of Transmittal (accompanied with all Company Certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock, to the extent such shares of Company Common Stock are certificated) duly, completely and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by Acquiror, the holder of such shares of Company Common Stock shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing, the consideration described in Section 3.1(c) into which such shares of Company Common Stock (including shares of Company Common Stock issued upon the conversion of Company Preferred Stock described in Section 3.1(a), including following the conversion of Convertible Notes immediately prior to the Company Preferred Stock Conversion as provided in the Company Support Agreements) have been converted pursuant to Section 3.1(c). Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.3(b) together with the delivery of a duly, completely and validly executed Letter of Transmittal, each share of Company Common Stock shall be deemed at any time from and after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the consideration described in Section 3.1(c) which the holders of shares of Company Common Stock were entitled to receive in respect of such shares pursuant to this Section 3.3(b).
27
3.4 Lost Certificate. In the event any Company Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the delivery of a duly, completely and validly executed Letter of Transmittal with respect to the shares formerly represented by such Company Certificate, the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Company Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Acquiror, the provision by such Person of a customary indemnity against any claim that may be made against Acquiror with respect to such Company Certificate, Acquiror shall issue or pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificate the consideration issuable or payable in respect thereof as determined in accordance with this Article III.
3.5 Treatment of Company Options and Company Warrants.
(a) Effective as of the Effective Time, each option to purchase shares of the Company Common Stock (a “Company Option”) granted under any Company Group Stock Plan that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be assumed by PubCo and shall be converted into a stock option (a “Closing PubCo Option”) to acquire shares of PubCo Common Stock in accordance with this Section 3.5(a). Each such Closing PubCo Option as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions (the “Original Option Terms”) as applied to the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (but taking into account any changes thereto provided for in the applicable Company Group Stock Plan, in any award agreement or in such Company Option by reason of this Agreement or the Transactions). As of the Effective Time, each such Closing PubCo Option as so assumed and converted shall be for that number of shares of PubCo Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of the Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, which product shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares, at a per share exercise price determined by dividing the per share exercise price of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, which quotient shall be rounded down to the nearest whole cent. The Company shall terminate the Company Group Stock Plans as of the Effective Time. As of the Effective Time, all Company Options shall no longer be outstanding and each holder of Closing PubCo Options shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Options, except as set forth in this Section 3.5.
28
(b) As of the Effective Time, each holder of Company Options entitled to receive Closing PubCo Options pursuant to Section 3.5(a) shall also receive an additional number of stock options to acquire shares of PubCo Common Stock (each, a “Contingent Option”) equal to the product of (i) the number of Company Options held by such holder, and (ii) Earnout Ratio, which product shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares. Each Contingent Option shall have the same per share exercise price as each Closing PubCo Option, and shall, except as set forth in this Section 3.5(b), be subject to the Original Option Terms. Each Contingent Option shall become vested and exercisable on the later of the date set forth in the Original Option Terms and the following applicable date, provided that the holder of the Contingent Option remains employed by PubCo or a Subsidiary of PubCo through such date: (A) as to one half of the Contingent Options, the date of the release of Stockholder Earnout Shares pursuant to Section 3.6(c)(i); and (B) as to the remaining half of the Contingent Options, the date of the release of Stockholder Earnout Shares pursuant to Section 3.6(c)(ii). Any Contingent Options that have not vested and become exercisable on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date shall automatically be cancelled and terminate on the day following such fifth anniversary and the holder thereof shall have no rights with respect to such Contingent Options thereafter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if a Contingent Option is forfeited because a holder of the Contingent Option does not remain employed by, or in the service of, PubCo or a Subsidiary of PubCo through an applicable vesting date, the shares of PubCo Common Stock underlying such Contingent Option shall revert back to the Earnout Escrow Account for release, if applicable, to the Stockholder Earnout Group.
(c) The Company shall take all commercially reasonable actions to effect the treatment of Company Options as set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the Company Group Stock Plans and the applicable award agreements and to ensure that no Closing PubCo Option may be exercised prior to the effective date of an applicable Form S-8 (or other applicable form, including Form S-1 or Form S-3) of PubCo. The Company Board shall amend the Company Group Stock Plans and take all other necessary actions, effective as of immediately prior to and contingent upon the Closing, in order to (i) cancel the remaining unallocated share reserve under the Company Group Stock Plans and provide that shares in respect of any awards granted under the Company Group Stock Plans that for any reason become re-eligible for future issuance, shall be cancelled, and (ii) provide that no new awards will be granted under the Company Group Stock Plans.
(d) Except as set forth in the final sentence of this Section 3.5(d), effective as of the Effective Time, each warrant to purchase shares of Company Capital Stock (each, a “Company Warrant”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and not expired or terminated pursuant to its terms, and held by a Specified Warrantholder, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of PubCo, the Company or the holder of any such Company Warrant, shall be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of PubCo Common Stock equal to (i) the Per Share Merger Consideration, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Company Capital Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Company Warrant on a net exercise basis, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment. For the avoidance of doubt, any Company Warrant which has a per share exercise price that is greater than or equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration Value shall be cancelled at the Effective Time for no consideration or payment. As of the Effective Time, all Company Warrants shall no longer be outstanding and each former holder of a Company Warrant shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Warrant, except as set forth in this Section 3.5(d). Effective as of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of PubCo, the Company or the parties thereto, Acquiror shall assume all (A) Company Warrants and contractual obligations to issue Company Warrants, in each case as set forth on Section 3.5(d) of the Company Schedules and (B) any other Company Warrants that are not held by Specified Warrantholders and have not been converted into the right to receive shares of PubCo Common Stock pursuant to this Section 3.5(d).
29
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conversions described in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Section 3.5 will be subject to such modifications, if any, as are required to cause the conversion to be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D). Following the Effective Time, each Closing PubCo Option shall be subject to the Acquiror Omnibus Incentive Plan (and considered “Substitute Awards” for purposes thereof) and to the same terms and conditions, including any vesting conditions, as had applied to the corresponding Company Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, except for such terms rendered inoperative by reason of the Transactions and except as otherwise provided in Section 3.5(b) and this Section 3.5(e), subject to such adjustments as reasonably determined by the PubCo Board to be necessary or appropriate to give effect to the conversion or the Transactions in accordance with the Acquiror Omnibus Incentive Plan and applicable Law.
3.6 Earnout.
(a) Delivery of the Earnout Shares. At the Closing and (i) immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Sponsor shall, in accordance with the Sponsor Agreement, deliver electronically through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), using DTC’s Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian System, to the Earnout Escrow Agent (as defined below), 1,713,000 shares of Acquiror Class B Common Stock, as may be adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization, exchange, subdivision or combination (including the Sponsor Stock Conversion), which shares shall be allocated to the Sponsor (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”), and (ii) immediately following the Effective Time, PubCo shall deliver electronically through DTC, using DTC’s Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian System, to the Earnout Escrow Agent (as defined below), an amount of shares of PubCo Common Stock, as such shares may be adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization, exchange, subdivision or combination (including the Sponsor Stock Conversion) equal to (A) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (including shares of Company Common Stock issued upon the conversion of Company Preferred Stock described in Section 3.1(a)) multiplied by (B) the Earnout Ratio, which shares shall be allocated on a Pro Rata Basis among the Company Stockholders who have received shares of PubCo Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.1(c) and the Specified Warrantholders that have received shares of PubCo Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.5(d) (the “Stockholder Earnout Group” and, such shares, the “Stockholder Earnout Shares” and, the Stockholder Earnout Shares together with the Sponsor Earnout Shares, the “Earnout Shares”), in each case of clauses (i) and (ii) in accordance with this Section 3.6.
(b) Procedures Applicable to the Earnout of the Earnout Shares.
(i) Upon receipt of the Earnout Shares, an escrow agent (the “Earnout Escrow Agent”) will place such Earnout Shares in an escrow account (the “Earnout Escrow Account”) established pursuant to an escrow agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H, to be entered into at the Closing by PubCo, the Sponsor, the Stockholder Representative and the Earnout Escrow Agent (the “Earnout Escrow Agreement”).
30
(ii) Promptly upon the occurrence of any triggering event described in Section 3.6(c) below, or as soon as practicable after PubCo becomes aware of the occurrence of such triggering event or receives written notice of such triggering event from the Sponsor or the Stockholder Representative, PubCo shall prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, in consultation with the Sponsor and the Stockholder Representative, a mutually agreeable written notice to the Earnout Escrow Agent (a “Release Notice”), which Release Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the triggering event giving rise to the requested release and the specific release instructions with respect thereto (including the number of Earnout Shares to be released and the identity of the Person to whom they should be released).
(iii) The Sponsor Earnout Shares that are to be released from the Earnout Escrow Account and distributed to the Sponsor shall be distributed to the Sponsor. The Stockholder Earnout Shares that are to be released from the Earnout Escrow Account and distributed to each member of the Stockholder Earnout Group shall be distributed to each member of the Stockholder Earnout Group on a Pro Rata Basis.
(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, any Earnout Shares to be released and distributed pursuant to this Section 3.6 shall be distributed and released as PubCo Common Stock.

(i) (A) one-half of the Stockholder Earnout Shares will be released from the Earnout Escrow Account, and distributed to each member of the Stockholder Earnout Group on a Pro Rata Basis and (B) one-half of the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be released from the Earnout Escrow Account and distributed to the Sponsor, in each case in accordance with Section 3.6(b)(ii) upon receipt of the applicable Release Notice by the Earnout Escrow Agent, if, on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date: (x) the VWAP of shares of PubCo Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for 20 of any 30 consecutive trading days commencing after the Closing on Nasdaq or any other national securities exchange, as applicable, or (y) if PubCo consummates a transaction which results in the stockholders of PubCo having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property having a value equaling or exceeding $12.50 per share (for any non-cash proceeds, as determined based on the agreed valuation set forth in the applicable definitive agreements for such transaction or, in the absence of such valuation, as determined in good faith by the PubCo Board);
(ii) (A) one-half of the Stockholder Earnout Shares will be released from the Earnout Escrow Account, and distributed to each member of the Stockholder Earnout Group on a Pro Rata Basis and (B) one-half of the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be released from the Earnout Escrow Account and distributed to the Sponsor, in each case, in accordance with Section 3.6(b)(ii) upon receipt of the applicable Release Notice by the Earnout Escrow Agent, if, on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date: (x) the VWAP of shares of PubCo Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share for 20 of any 30 consecutive trading days commencing after the Closing on Nasdaq or any other national securities exchange, as applicable, or (y) if PubCo consummates a transaction which results in the stockholders of PubCo having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property having a value equaling or exceeding $15.00 per share (for any non-cash proceeds, as determined based on the agreed valuation set forth in the applicable definitive agreements for such transaction or, in the absence of such valuation, as determined in good faith by PubCo Board); and
31
(iii) if the conditions set forth in either Section 3.6(c)(i) or Section 3.6(c)(ii) have not been satisfied following the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, any Earnout Shares remaining in the Earnout Escrow Account shall be automatically released to PubCo for cancellation and neither the members of the Stockholder Earnout Group nor the Sponsor shall have any right to receive such Earnout Shares or any benefit therefrom.
(d) For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the condition for more than one triggering event is met pursuant to Section 3.6(c), then all of the Earnout Shares to be released and distributed in connection with each such triggering event shall be released and delivered to the Sponsor and the members of the Stockholder Earnout Group in accordance with this Section 3.6 and (ii) if the condition for the triggering event described in Section 3.6(c)(i)(x) and/or Section 3.6(c)(ii)(x) with respect to the achievement of the applicable VWAP of shares of PubCo Common Stock for any 20 trading days is met prior to the date that is the 30th consecutive trading day following the Closing, a Release Notice shall be submitted at such time without any requirement to wait until the 30th consecutive trading day following the Closing has passed.
(e) The PubCo Common Stock price targets set forth in Section 3.6(a) and Section 3.6(b) and the number of shares of PubCo Common Stock to be issued and released pursuant to Section 3.6(a) and (b) shall be equitably adjusted for any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event affecting the Acquiror Class A Common Stock after the date of this Agreement.
(f) As used in this Section 3.6, the term “Pro Rata Basis” shall mean, with respect to any member of the Stockholder Earnout Group, in accordance with the ratio calculated by dividing (x) the sum of the number of shares of PubCo Common Stock held by such Person by (y) the sum of the aggregate number of shares of PubCo Common Stock held by the Stockholder Earnout Group, in each case, as of immediately following the Closing.
(g) Any issuance of the Stockholder Earnout Shares (i) is intended to comply with, and shall be effected in accordance with, Rev.

32
3.7 Withholding. Each of Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Stockholder Representative, the Company, the Surviving Company and their respective Affiliates and Representatives shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise deliverable or payable under this Agreement such amounts that any such Persons are required to deduct and withhold with respect to any of the deliveries and payments contemplated by this Agreement under the Code or any other applicable Law; provided that before making any deduction or withholding pursuant to this Section 3.7 other than with respect to compensatory payments made pursuant to this Agreement, the applicable payor shall use commercially reasonably efforts to give the applicable payee at least three (3) days prior written notice of any anticipated deduction or withholding (together with any legal basis therefor) to provide such payee with sufficient opportunity to provide any forms or other documentation or take such other steps in order to avoid such deduction or withholding and shall reasonably consult and cooperate with the payee in good faith to attempt to reduce or eliminate any amounts that would otherwise be deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 3.7. To the extent that Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Stockholder Representative, the Company, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives withholds such amounts with respect to any Person and properly remits such withheld amounts to the applicable Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated as having been paid to or on behalf of such Person for all purposes. In the case of any such payment payable to employees of the Company or its Affiliates in connection with the Merger treated as compensation, the parties shall cooperate to pay such amounts through the Company’s or the applicable Affiliate’s payroll to facilitate applicable withholding.
3.8 Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fractional shares of PubCo Common Stock or certificates or scripts representing such fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.1(c), and any such fractional shares or interests therein shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a holder of PubCo Common Stock. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, PubCo shall pay to each former holder of Company Common Stock who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share an amount in cash, without interest, rounded down to the nearest cent, equal to the product of (a) the fraction equal to the amount of the fractional share of PubCo Common Stock to which such holder otherwise would have been entitled but for this Section 3.8 multiplied by (b) the Closing Share Price.
3.9 Payment of Expenses.
(a) No sooner than five or later than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide to Acquiror a written report setting forth a list of the following fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Company or the Company Stockholders in connection with the conduct of the Company’s sale process (including the evaluation and negotiation of business combinations with other third parties) and preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions (together with written invoices and wire transfer instructions for the payment thereof), solely to the extent such fees and expenses are incurred and expected to remain unpaid as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date: (i) the fees and disbursements of outside counsel to the Company or the Company Stockholders incurred in connection with the Transactions and (ii) the fees and expenses of any other agents, advisors, consultants, experts and financial advisors employed by the Company in connection with the Transactions (collectively, the “Outstanding Company Expenses”). On the Closing Date following the Closing, Acquiror shall pay or cause to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds all such Outstanding Company Expenses.
33
(b) No sooner than five or later than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Acquiror shall provide to the Company a written report setting forth a list of all unpaid fees and disbursements of Acquiror, Merger Sub or the Sponsor for outside counsel and fees and expenses of Acquiror, Merger Sub or the Sponsor or for any other agents, advisors, consultants, experts and financial advisors employed by or on behalf of Acquiror, Merger Sub or the Sponsor in connection with Acquiror’s initial public offering (including any deferred underwriter fees) or the Transactions (together with written invoices and wire transfer instructions for the payment thereof) (collectively, the “Outstanding Acquiror Expenses”); provided, that the “Outstanding Acquiror Expenses” shall not include the Transaction Bonuses. On the Closing Date, Acquiror shall pay or cause to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds all such Outstanding Acquiror Expenses.
3.10 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and owned by a holder who is entitled to demand and has properly demanded appraisal of such shares in accordance with, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares, “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, and shall instead represent the right to receive payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with and to the extent provided by Section 262 of the DGCL. At the Effective Time, (a) all Dissenting Shares shall be cancelled, extinguished and cease to exist and (b) the holders of Dissenting Shares shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to them under the DGCL. If any such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL or other applicable Law, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted, as of the Effective Time, into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration (as if such share was subject to a Stock Election) upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Company shall give Acquiror prompt written notice (and in any event within two Business Days) of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to rights to be paid the fair value of Dissenting Shares, and Acquiror shall have the right to participate in and, following the Effective Time, direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Acquiror, make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demands or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or otherwise comply with the provisions under Section 262 of the DGCL, or agree or commit to do any of the foregoing.

JOINT COVENANTS
8.1 Support of Transaction. Without limiting any covenant contained in Article VI or Article VII, including the obligations of the Company and Acquiror with respect to the notifications, filings, reaffirmations and applications described in Section 8.7, which obligations shall control to the extent of any conflict with the succeeding provisions of this Section 8.1, Acquiror and the Company shall each, and shall each cause their respective Subsidiaries to: (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to assemble, prepare and file any information (and, as needed, to supplement such information) as may be reasonably necessary to obtain as promptly as practicable all governmental and regulatory consents required to be obtained in connection with the Transactions, (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all material consents and approvals of third parties that any of Acquiror, the Company, or their respective Affiliates are required to obtain in order to consummate the Transactions, including any required approvals of parties to material Contracts with the Company, and (c) take such other action as may reasonably be necessary or as another party may reasonably request to satisfy the conditions of Article IX or otherwise to comply with this Agreement and to consummate the Transactions as soon as practicable.

8.2 Preparation of Registration Statement; Special Meeting; Company Requisite Approval.
(a) As promptly as practicable following the date hereof, Acquiror shall cause to be filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, and including the Proxy Statement contained therein, the “Registration Statement”) in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of the PubCo Common Stock to be issued under this Agreement (including the Earnout Shares), which Registration Statement will also contain the Proxy Statement. Each of Acquiror and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement to comply with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing and to keep the Registration Statement effective as long as is necessary to consummate the Merger. The Company shall promptly provide to Acquiror such information concerning the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Company financial statements) and the Company Stockholders as is either required by the Securities Laws or reasonably requested by Acquiror for inclusion in the Registration Statement or any registration statement in connection with the Equity Financing. As promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, Acquiror will cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to stockholders of Acquiror.
88
(b) Each of Acquiror and the Company shall cooperate and mutually agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), any response to comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Registration Statement and any amendment to the Registration Statement filed in response thereto. If Acquiror or the Company becomes aware that the Registration Statement, (i) as of the Effective Time, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (ii), at any time prior to the Effective Time, information contained in the Registration Statement shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or that the Registration Statement is required to be amended in order to comply with applicable Law, then (x) such party shall promptly inform the other parties and (y) Acquiror, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall cooperate and mutually agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement. Acquiror and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC and the Proxy Statement to be disseminated to the holders of shares of Acquiror Common Stock, as applicable, in each case pursuant to applicable Law and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Acquiror Organizational Documents. Acquiror shall provide the Company with copies of any written comments, and shall inform the Company of any oral comments, that Acquiror receives from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Registration Statement as promptly as practicable after the receipt of such comments and shall give the Company a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any proposed written or oral responses to such comments prior to responding to the SEC or its staff.
(c) Acquiror agrees to include provisions in the Proxy Statement and to take reasonable action related thereto with respect to (i) approval of the Merger (the “Transaction Proposal”), (ii) approval of the PubCo Charter (the “Amendment Proposal”), (iii) approval of the issuance of PubCo Common Stock in connection with the Transactions (including pursuant to the consummation of the Subscription Agreements) in accordance with this Agreement, in each case to the extent required by Nasdaq listing rules (the “Stock Issuance Proposal”), (iv) the adoption of the Acquiror Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Acquiror Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal”) and (v) approval of any other proposals reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Additional Proposal” and together with the Transaction Proposal, Amendment Proposal, Stock Issuance Proposal and the Acquiror Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal, the “Proposals”). Without the prior written consent of the Company, the Proposals shall be the only matters (other than procedural matters) which Acquiror shall propose to be acted on by the Acquiror Stockholders at the Special Meeting.
(d) Acquiror and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as practicable, and in compliance with applicable Law (i) establish the record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting in accordance with the DGCL, (ii) cause the Proxy Statement to be disseminated to the Acquiror Stockholders and (iii) solicit proxies from the Acquiror Stockholders to vote in favor of each of the Proposals. Acquiror shall, through the Acquiror Board, recommend to its stockholders that they approve each of the Proposals (the “Acquiror Board Recommendation”) and shall include the unqualified Acquiror Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement. The Acquiror Board shall not (and no committee or subgroup thereof shall) change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, the Acquiror Board Recommendation, except as required by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2(d), if on a date for which the Special Meeting is scheduled, Acquiror has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock to obtain the Acquiror Stockholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present, Acquiror shall have the right to make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of the Special Meeting.
89
(e) As promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event within five Business Days following the date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain and deliver to Acquiror a true, complete and correct copy of a written consent (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Acquiror) evidencing the Company Requisite Approval that is duly executed by the Company Stockholders that hold at least the requisite number and class of issued and outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock required to obtain the Company Requisite Approval. If the Company Requisite Approval is obtained, then promptly following the receipt of the Company Requisite Approval, the Company will prepare and deliver to its stockholders who have not consented the notice required by Section 228(e) and 262 of the DGCL. Unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company’s obligation to solicit written consents from the Company Stockholders to give the Company Requisite Approval in accordance with this Section 8.2(e) shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the making, commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission of any Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall, through the Company Board, recommend to the Company Stockholders that they adopt this Agreement (the “Company Board Recommendation”). The Company Board shall not (and no committee or subgroup thereof shall) change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, the Company Board Recommendation.
(f) In the event there is any tax opinion, comfort letter or other opinion required to be provided in connection with the Registration Statement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, neither this Section 8.2 nor any other provision in this Agreement shall require counsel to Acquiror or its tax advisors to provide an opinion that the Merger constitutes a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code or the Merger and the contributions by the Equity Investors of cash to Acquiror in exchange for Acquiror Common Stock through the Equity Financing pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of this Agreement and the Subscription Agreements, together constitutes an integrated transaction that qualifies under Section 351 of the Code.
8.3 Tax Matters.
(a) Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall pay all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added or other similar Taxes incurred in connection with the Transactions. The Company shall, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns with respect to all such Taxes, and, if required by applicable Law, Acquiror will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns.
(b) Tax Treatment. Acquiror, Merger Sub and the Company intend that the Transactions qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment. None of the parties or their respective Affiliates shall knowingly take or cause to be taken, or knowingly fail to take or knowingly cause to be failed to be taken, any action that would reasonably be expected to prevent qualification for such Intended Tax Treatment. Each party shall, unless otherwise required by a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar state, local or non-U.S. final determination) or a change in applicable Law, or based on a change in the facts and circumstances underlying the Transactions from the terms described in this Agreement, cause all Tax Returns to be filed in a manner consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment. Each of the parties agrees to use reasonable best efforts to promptly notify all other parties of any challenge to the Intended Tax Treatment by any Governmental Authority.

Such Pre-Closing Returns shall be prepared by treating items on such Pre-Closing Returns in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, or, if past practice is inconsistent with applicable Law, consistent with applicable Law, with respect to such items. If Acquiror consents to such Pre-Closing Returns, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall execute and file such Tax Returns as prepared by such Stockholder Representative. In addition, the Company shall pay, on or prior to five days before the due date, any amount due and payable by the Company and its Subsidiaries on such Pre-Closing Returns, except to the extent any such amount was paid on, or prior to, the Closing Date.
(e) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, a “push out” election pursuant to Section 6226 of the Code (or any state or local equivalent thereof) with respect to any Subsidiary of the Company that is or previously has been, as of the Closing Date, treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, shall be made, or caused to be made, in connection with any imputed underpayment of Taxes for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date.
(f) Each Company Stockholder shall terminate or cause to be terminated any and all of the tax sharing, allocation, indemnification or similar agreements, arrangements or undertakings in effect, written or unwritten, on the Closing Date as between such Company Stockholder or any predecessor or Affiliate thereof, on the one hand, and the Company or its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, for all Taxes, regardless of the period in which such Taxes are imposed, and there shall be no continuing obligation to make any payments under any such agreements, arrangements or undertakings.
(g) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Acquiror a certification from the Company pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(c) and a notice to be delivered to the United States Internal Revenue Service as required under Treasury Regulations Section 1.897-2(h)(2), each dated no more than 30 days prior to the Closing Date and signed by a responsible corporate officer of the Company.
91
(h) Acquiror, the Company, its Subsidiaries, and the Stockholder Representative, shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries and any audit, litigation or other Action with respect to Taxes of the Company or its Subsidiaries. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request and at the other party’s expense) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return, audit, litigation or other Action and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.
8.4 Confidentiality; Publicity.
(a) Acquiror acknowledges that the information being provided to it in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby is subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
(b) None of Acquiror, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates shall make any public announcement or issue any public communication regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or any matter related to the foregoing, without first obtaining the prior consent of the Company or Acquiror, as applicable (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except if such announcement or other communication is required by applicable Law or legal process (including pursuant to the Securities Law or the rules of any national securities exchange), in which case Acquiror or the Company, as applicable, shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate such announcement or communication with the other party, prior to announcement or issuance and allow the other party a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon (which shall be considered by Acquiror or the Company, as applicable, in good faith); provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, each party and its Affiliates may make announcements and may provide information regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to its and their Affiliates, and its and their respective investors, directors, officers, employees, managers and advisors without the consent of any other party hereto; and provided, further that, subject to Section 6.2 and this Section 8.4, the foregoing shall not prohibit any party hereto from communicating with third parties to the extent necessary for the purpose of seeking any third party consent.
8.5 Post-Closing Cooperation; Further Assurances. Following the Closing, each party shall, on the request of any other party, execute such further documents, and perform such further acts, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to give full effect to the allocation of rights, benefits, obligations and liabilities contemplated by this Agreement and the Transactions.
92
8.6 Insurance and Indemnity Matters.
(a) From and after the Effective Time, PubCo and the Surviving Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director or officer of the Company, Acquiror and their respective Subsidiaries, or any other person that may be a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Acquiror or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time, against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any actual or threatened Action or other action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time or relating to the enforcement by any such Person of his or her rights under this Section 8.6, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent that the Company, Acquiror or their respective Subsidiaries, would have been permitted under applicable Law and its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents in effect on the date of this Agreement to indemnify such Person, and shall advance expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of any such Person as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law (including in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by any such Person to enforce his or her rights under this Section 8.6)). Without limiting the foregoing, PubCo shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to, (i) maintain for a period of not less than six years from the Effective Time provisions in its certificate of incorporation (if applicable), bylaws and other organizational documents concerning the indemnification and exoneration (including provisions relating to expense advancement) of officers and directors that are no less favorable to such Persons than the provisions of the certificates of incorporation (if applicable), bylaws and other organizational documents as of the date of this Agreement of the Company, Acquiror or their respective Subsidiaries and (ii) not amend, repeal or otherwise modify such provisions in any respect that would adversely affect the rights of those Persons thereunder, in each case, except as required by Law. PubCo shall assume, and be liable for, and shall cause the Surviving Company and their respective Subsidiaries to honor, each of the covenants in this Section 8.6.
(b) For a period of six years from the Effective Time, PubCo shall, or shall cause one or more of its Subsidiaries to, maintain in effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering those Persons who are currently covered by Acquiror’s, the Company’s or their respective Subsidiaries’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies (true, correct and complete copies of which have been heretofore made available to Acquiror) on terms not less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage, except that in no event shall PubCo be required to pay an annual premium for such insurance in excess of 300% of the aggregate annual premium payable by the Company or Acquiror, as applicable, for such insurance policy for the year ended December 31, 2020; provided, however, that (i) if the cost of such insurance coverage exceeds such amount, PubCo obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount, (ii) Acquiror may cause coverage to be extended under the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance by obtaining a six-year “tail” policy containing terms not materially less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage with respect to claims existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) if any claim is asserted or made within such six-year period, any insurance required to be maintained under this Section 8.6 shall be continued in respect of such claim until the final disposition thereof.
93
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 8.6 shall survive the consummation of the Merger indefinitely and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on PubCo and the Surviving Company and all successors and assigns of PubCo and the Surviving Company. In the event that PubCo, the Surviving Company or any of their respective successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person or effects any division transaction, then, and in each such case, PubCo and the Surviving Company shall ensure that proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of PubCo or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 8.6. The obligations of PubCo and the Surviving Company under this Section 8.6 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to materially and adversely affect any present and former director or officer of the Company, or other person that may be a director or officer of the Company prior to the Effective Time, to whom this Section 8.6 applies without the consent of the affected Person. The rights of each Person entitled to indemnification or advancement hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such Person may have under the Company Certificate of Incorporation, the bylaws of the Company, any other indemnification arrangement, any applicable law, rule or regulation or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 8.6 are expressly intended to benefit, and are enforceable by, each Person entitled to indemnification or advancement hereunder and their respective successors, heirs and representatives, each of whom is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 8.6.
8.7 Efforts to Consummate; HSR Act and Regulatory Approvals.
(a) Each of Acquiror and the Company and their respective Subsidiaries shall use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective the Transactions as promptly as practicable, including to (i) obtain from any Governmental Authority with regulatory jurisdiction over enforcement of any applicable Antitrust Laws all Approvals as are necessary for the consummation of the Transactions and (ii) promptly (and, with respect to the HSR Act, in no event later than 10 Business Days after the date hereof) make all necessary filings (and if required under applicable Law, drafts thereof), and thereafter make any other required submissions, with respect to the Transactions required under the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Law.
(b) Each of Acquiror and the Company shall, to the extent permitted, request early termination of any waiting period under the HSR Act, if applicable, and exercise its reasonable best efforts to (i) obtain termination or expiration of the waiting period under the HSR Act, if applicable, and consents or approvals pursuant to any other applicable Antitrust Laws, (ii) resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Transactions, (iii) prevent the entry in any Action brought by a Governmental Authority or any other Person of any Governmental Order which would prohibit, restrict, prevent, make unlawful or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (iv) if any such Governmental Order is issued in any such Action, cause such Governmental Order to be lifted.

Each of Acquiror and the Company agrees to provide, to the extent permitted by the applicable Governmental Authority, such other party and its counsel the opportunity, on reasonable advance notice, to participate in any substantive meetings or discussions, either in person or by telephone, between such party and/or any of its Affiliates, agents or advisors, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority, on the other hand, concerning or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Any materials exchanged in connection with this Section 8.7 may be redacted or withheld as necessary to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns, and to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company or Acquiror, as applicable, or other competitively sensitive material; provided, that each of Acquiror and the Company may, as it deems advisable and necessary, designate any materials provided to such other party under this Section 8.7 as “outside counsel only.” Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 8.7 or any other provision of this Agreement shall require or obligate the Company or any of its investors or Affiliates to, and Acquiror shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, agree or otherwise be required to, take any action with respect to the Company, or such investors or Affiliates, including selling, divesting, or otherwise disposing of, licensing, holding separate, or taking or committing to take any action that limits in any respect its freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, any business, products, rights, services, licenses, assets or properties of the Company or such investors or Affiliates, or any interest therein.

11.16 Stockholder Representative.
(a) The Company Stockholders have designated Colin Daniel as the Stockholder Representative (in such capacity, the “Stockholder Representative”), and approval and adoption of this Agreement by the Company Stockholders shall constitute (i) the ratification and approval of such designation, and (ii) the irrevocable appointment of the Stockholder Representative as each Company Stockholder’s representative, attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of each Company Stockholder in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and to act on behalf of each Company Stockholder in any amendment of or litigation or arbitration involving this Agreement, and to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents, as the Stockholder Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in conjunction with any of the Transactions, including the power (A) to give and receive all notices and communications to be given or received under this Agreement and to receive service of process in connection with any claims under this Agreement and the Transactions, (B) to negotiate, execute and deliver all ancillary agreements, statements, certificates, statements, notices, approvals, extensions, waivers, undertakings, amendments and other documents required or permitted to be given in connection with the consummation of the Transactions, (C) to make decisions with respect to the distribution and allocation of the Stockholder Earnout Shares, (D) to retain counsel, experts and other agents (any Representatives so retained, the “Retained Agents”), and (E) to enter into any settlement or submitting any dispute relating to the Earnout Shares.

The Stockholder Representative will not be liable to the Company Stockholders for any act taken or omitted by it as permitted under this Agreement and the Transactions, except if such act is taken or omitted in bad faith or by willful misconduct. The Stockholder Representative will also be fully protected against the Company Stockholders in relying upon any written notice, demand, certificate or document that he in good faith believes to be genuine (including facsimiles thereof). In the absence of bad faith or willful misconduct by the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the opinions and advice of any Retained Agents; and the fact that any act was taken or omitted to be taken pursuant to the advice of counsel will be conclusive evidence of good faith. The Stockholder Representative may resign at any time after giving 30 days’ notice to the Company and the Company Stockholders, and the Stockholder Representative may be removed by the vote of Persons that collectively constituted the requisite Company Stockholders as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (or, in the case of a termination of this Agreement, as of such termination). If a Stockholder Representative has resigned or been removed, a new Stockholder Representative shall be appointed by a vote of stockholders constituting the Company Stockholders as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, such appointment to become effective upon the written acceptance thereof by the new Stockholder Representative. The designation of any Person as the Stockholder Representative is and shall be coupled with an interest, and, except as set forth in this Article XI, such designation is irrevocable and shall not be affected by the death, incapacity, illness, bankruptcy, dissolution or other inability to act of any of the Company Stockholders.
106
(b) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative shall constitute a decision of all Company Stockholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all Company Stockholders. Acquiror may conclusively rely upon, without independent verification or investigation, all statements, representations and decisions made by the Stockholder Representative in connection with this Agreement in writing and signed by the Stockholder Representative and shall have no liability to the Company Stockholders and the Stockholder Representative in connection with any actions taken or not taken in reliance on such statements, representations and decisions of the Stockholder Representative.
11.17 Acknowledgments. 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: (a) 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; (b) the Company Representations constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; (c) the Acquiror and Merger Sub Representations constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of Acquiror and Merger Sub; (d) except for the Company Representations by the Company, the Acquiror and Merger Sub Representations by Acquiror and Merger Sub, none of the parties hereto or any other Person makes, or has made, any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to any party hereto (or any party’s Affiliates) or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature expressed or implied (including (i) regarding the completeness or accuracy of, or any omission to state or to disclose, any information, including in the estimates, projections or forecasts or any other information, document or material provided to or made available to any party hereto or their respective Affiliates or Representatives in certain “data rooms,” management presentations or in any other form in expectation of the Transactions, including meetings, calls or correspondence with management of any party hereto (or any party’s Subsidiaries), and (ii) any relating to the future or historical business, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, prospects, assets or liabilities of any party hereto (or its Subsidiaries), or the quality, quantity or condition of any party’s or its Subsidiaries’ assets) are specifically disclaimed by all parties hereto and their respective Subsidiaries and all other Persons (including the Representatives and Affiliates of any party hereto or its Subsidiaries); and (e) each party hereto and its respective Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives are not relying on and have not relied on, any representations or warranties in connection with the Transactions or otherwise except the Company Representations by the Company, the Acquiror and Merger Sub Representations by Acquiror and Merger Sub and the other representations expressly made by a Person in the Subscription Agreements, the Non-Redemption Agreements, the Sponsor Agreement, the Acquiror Support Agreement, the Company Support Agreements, the Earnout Escrow Agreement and the Lock-Up Agreements (each of which is being made solely by the Person expressly making such representation in the applicable agreement and not by any other Person).

5. Additional Subscriber Agreement. Subscriber hereby agrees that, from the date of this Subscription Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with its terms, none of Subscriber or any person or entity acting on behalf of Subscriber or pursuant to any understanding with Subscriber will engage in any Short Sales with respect to equity securities of the Company prior to the Closing. For purposes of this Section 5, “Short Sales” shall include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges (other than pledges in the ordinary course of business as part of prime brokerage arrangements), forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing herein shall prohibit other entities under common management or that share an investment advisor with Subscriber (including Subscriber’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any Short Sales and (ii) in the case of a Subscriber that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Subscriber’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Subscribed Shares covered by this Subscription Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5 shall not apply to (a) any sale (including the exercise of any redemption right) of securities of the Company (i) held by Subscriber, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates prior to the execution of this Subscription Agreement or (ii) purchased by Subscriber, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates in open market transactions after the execution of this Subscription Agreement or (b) ordinary course, non-speculative hedging transactions.

6. Registration of Subscribed Shares.
(a) The Company agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days after the consummation of the Transaction, the Company will file with the Commission (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement on Form S-1 (or, if available, Form S-3), registering the resale of the Subscribed Shares pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the “Registration Statement”). The Company will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to Subscriber for review at least three (3) business days in advance of filing the Registration Statement, and shall advise Subscriber upon the Registration Statement being declared effective by the SEC. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) no later than sixty (60) calendar days following the Closing Date (or ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date if the Registration Statement is reviewed by and receives comments from the SEC) and (ii) the 10th calendar day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further comments from the SEC (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Deadline”), provided, that if the day of the Effectiveness Deadline 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. 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 under 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 to be registered by the Commission. In such event, the number of Subscribed Shares to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders. In no event shall Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement without Subscriber’s prior written consent. 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 commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to remain continuously effective with respect to Subscriber until the earlier of (i) five (5) years from the issuance of the Subscribed Shares, (ii) the date on which all of the Subscribed Shares shall have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or (iii) if Rule 144(i) is no longer applicable to the Company or Rule 144(i)(2) is amended to remove the current reporting requirement preceding a disposition of securities, the first date on which the undersigned can sell all of its Subscribed Shares (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 under the Securities Act without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such securities that may be sold. For as long as the Registration Statement shall remain effective pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the undersigned to resell the Subscribed Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act (when Rule 144 under the Securities Act becomes available to the Company), as applicable, qualify the Subscribed Shares for listing on the applicable stock exchange on which the Company’s Class A Shares are then listed, and update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include the Subscribed Shares. 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 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 for a selling stockholder in similar situations; 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 the Subscribed Shares.
14
(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) | except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Company determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to Subscriber, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions; |
(ii) | advise Subscriber within three (3) business days: |
A. of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;
B. 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
C. 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 included therein so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company shall not, when so advising Subscriber of such events listed above, 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 (A) through (C) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Company;
(iii) | use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable; |
15
(iv) | upon the occurrence of any event contemplated above, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; |
(v) | use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Subscribed Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Class A Shares have been listed; |
(vi) | use its commercially reasonable efforts (A) to take all other steps necessary to effect and maintain the registration of the Subscribed Shares contemplated hereby and to enable the Subscriber to sell the Subscribed Shares under Rule 144 and (B) for so long as the Subscriber holds Subscribed Shares, to timely file all reports and other materials required to be filed by the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required under the applicable provisions of Rule 144 to enable Subscriber to sell the Class A Shares under Rule 144; and |
(vii) | (a) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the removal of the restrictive legends from (i) any Subscribed Shares being sold under the Registration Statement, (ii) at the time of sale of Subscribed Shares pursuant to Rule 144 and (iii) at the request of a holder of Subscribed Shares at such time as any Subscribed Shares held by such holder may be sold by such holder without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions, and (b) request its legal counsel to deliver an opinion, if necessary, to the transfer agent 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. |
16
(c) 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, upon advice of legal counsel, that in order for the registration statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly or annual report under the Exchange Act, or if the Company’s Board of Directors, upon advice of legal counsel, reasonably believes such filing or use would materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Company or would require premature disclosure of information that would materially adversely affect the Company and with respect to which the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided that (x) 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 (y) 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. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding the Company) of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus), not misleading, the undersigned agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company shall not, when so advising Subscriber of a Suspension Event, provide Subscriber with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company (other than to the extent that providing notice to Subscriber of the occurrence of a Suspension Event may itself constitute material, nonpublic information regarding the Company). If so directed by the Company, the undersigned will deliver to the Company or, in the undersigned’s sole discretion, destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the 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 (x) 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 (y) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.
(d) Subscriber may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company requesting that Subscriber not receive notices from the Company otherwise required by this Section 6; provided, however, that Subscriber may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from Subscriber (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Company shall not deliver any such notices to Subscriber and Subscriber shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to Subscriber’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, Subscriber will notify the Company in writing at least two (2) business days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 6(d)) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Company will so notify Subscriber, within one (1) business day of Subscriber’s notification to the Company, by delivering to Subscriber a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide Subscriber with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event promptly following its availability.
17
(e) The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Subscription Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Subscriber (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), the officers, directors, trustees, agents, partners, members, managers, stockholders, affiliates, employees and investment advisers of each of them, each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, trustees, agents, partners, members, managers, stockholders, affiliates, employees and investment advisers of each such controlling person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 6, except insofar as and to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based solely upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Company by Subscriber expressly for use therein. The Company shall notify Subscriber promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 6 of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Class A Shares by Subscriber.
(f) Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly with any Other Subscriber, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Company by Subscriber expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of Subscriber under this Section 6(e) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Subscribed Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
18
(g) Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (A) 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 or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (B) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to local 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 includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which 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, and in no event shall the liability of Subscriber under this Section 6(g) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Subscribed Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(h) If the indemnification provided under this Section 6 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, 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 subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6 and deemed to include 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 6(g) from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Each indemnifying party’s obligation to make a contribution pursuant to this Section 6(g) shall be several, not joint.
19
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 Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of the Company and the Subscriber to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) if, on the Closing Date of the Transaction, 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) August 31, 2021; provided that nothing herein will relieve any party hereto from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party hereto will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach. The Company shall notify Subscriber of the termination of the Merger Agreement promptly after the termination thereof. Upon the termination hereof in accordance with this Section 7, any monies paid by Subscriber to the Company in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) be returned in full to Subscriber by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by Subscriber, without any deduction for or on account of any tax withholding, charges or set-off, whether or not the Transaction shall have been consummated
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 irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind, regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability, it has or may in the future have arising out of this Subscription Agreement, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement; provided however, that nothing in this Section 8 shall (i) serve to limit or prohibit Subscriber’s right to pursue a claim against the Company for legal relief against assets held outside the Trust Account (so long as such claim would not affect the Company’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate any redemption right with respect to any securities of the Company), for specific performance or other equitable relief, (ii) serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Subscriber may have in the future against the Company’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds) (so long as such claim would not affect the Company’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate any redemption right with respect to any securities of the Company) or (iii) be deemed to limit the Subscriber’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of the Subscriber’s record or beneficial ownership of Common Stock of the Company acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, including but not limited to any right to distributions from the Trust Account in accordance with the Company’s third amended and restated certificate of incorporation in respect of any redemptions by Subscriber of its Class A Shares acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.
20

Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Company hereunder may be transferred or assigned (provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company may transfer the Subscription Agreement and its rights hereunder in connection with the consummation of the Transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscriber may assign its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to one or more of its affiliates or to any fund or account managed or advised by the same investment manager as the 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.
(f) All the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.
(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 Subscriber shall provide such information as may be reasonably requested, to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with its internal policies and procedures, provided, that, the Company agrees to keep any such information provided by Subscriber confidential; provided, further, that upon receipt of such additional information, the Company shall be allowed to convey such information to Target and Target shall keep the information confidential, except as may be required by applicable law, rule, regulation or in connection with any legal proceeding or regulatory request .

(h) The Company agrees that the Subscriber’s identity and the Subscription, as well as nature of the Subscriber’s obligations hereunder, may not be disclosed in public announcements or any other filing required by the Commission, including in any registration statements, proxy statements, consent solicitation statements and other filings to be filed by the Company with the Commission in connection with the Subscription and/or the Transaction; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, such disclosure shall be permitted to the extent, if any, required to comply with law, rules or regulations, in response to a comment or request from the staff of the Commission or another regulatory agency or under Nasdaq regulations; provided further that, to the extent permitted by the foregoing, Subscriber shall have an opportunity to review and comment on all disclosures in which it is contemplated to be named prior to filing or public release. In all other cases, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not, and will cause its representatives[, including the Placement Agents and its respective representatives,] not to publicly make reference to the Subscriber or any of its affiliates or investment advisors in connection with the Transaction or this Subscription Agreement, including in a press release or marketing materials of the Company or for any similar or related purpose (provided that Subscriber may disclose its entry into this Subscription Agreement and the Purchase Price) without the prior written consent of the Subscriber.
22
(i) This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified, waived or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such modification, waiver, or termination is sought.
(j) This Subscription Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties hereto, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9(n), this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
(k) Except as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.
(n) This Subscription Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person; provided, however, that [(i) the Placement Agents shall be an intended third party beneficiary of the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 3 hereof and of the Subscribers in Section 4 hereof and (ii)] the persons named in Sections 6(d) through 6(g) hereof shall be intended third party beneficiaries of such provisions.
(o) The parties hereto agree that 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 monetary damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for such damage. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to equitable relief, including in the form of an injunction or injunctions to prevent 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.

Upon the issuance of the Disclosure Document, to the Company’s knowledge, Subscriber shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information received from the Company, the Target or any of their respective officers, directors or employees [or the Placement Agents], and Subscriber shall no longer be subject to any confidentiality or similar obligations under any current agreement, whether written or oral with Company, the Placement Agents, the Company or any of their respective affiliates in connection with the Transaction.

Nothing contained herein or in any Other Subscription Agreement, and no action taken by Subscriber or Other Subscriber or investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Subscriber and other investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Subscriber, the 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 the Subscriber in connection with making its investment hereunder and no Other Subscriber will be acting as agent of the 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.

1. Voting Agreement. The Sponsor agrees that, at the Acquiror Stockholders’ Meeting, at any other meeting of the stockholders of Acquiror (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting, however called and including any adjournment or postponement thereof) and in connection with any written consent of the stockholders of Acquiror, the Sponsor shall:

2. Transfer of Shares. Except as otherwise contemplated by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement, the Sponsor agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, assign, transfer (including by operation of law), create any lien or pledge, dispose of or otherwise encumber any of the Covered Shares or otherwise agree to do any of the foregoing, (b) deposit any Covered Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto that is inconsistent with this Agreement or (c) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking requiring the direct acquisition or sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of any Covered Shares.

f. As of the date of this Agreement, there is no action, proceeding or investigation pending against the Sponsor or, to the knowledge of the Sponsor, threatened against the Sponsor that questions the beneficial or record ownership of the Covered Shares, the validity of this Agreement or the performance by the Sponsor of its obligations under this Agreement.

AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Securityholders, Acquiror and the Company hereby agree as follows:
1. Voting Agreement. Each Securityholder agrees that, as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days following the date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC), such Securityholder shall duly execute and deliver to the Company and Acquiror one or more written consents (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Acquiror) evidencing the Company Requisite Approval under which it shall irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, the approval of amendments to the Company Certificate of Incorporation and each of the agreements set forth on Schedule II hereto (the “Stockholder Agreements”) to treat any special purpose acquisition company merger (each a “SPAC Transaction”) the same as a qualified initial public offering under the Company Certificate of Incorporation and Stockholder Agreements, respectively). For the avoidance of doubt, these approvals will include the automatic conversion of the Company Preferred Stock into Company Common Stock and the automatic termination of the Stockholder Agreements effective immediately prior to the consummation of a qualified SPAC Transaction under the Company Certificate of Incorporation and Stockholder Agreements, respectively. In addition to the foregoing, each Securityholder hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that, at any other meeting of the stockholders of the Company (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting, however called and including any adjournment or postponement thereof) and in connection with any written consent of the stockholders or other securityholders of the Company, such Securityholder shall:
a. when such meeting is held, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause the Covered Securities to be counted as present thereat for the purpose of establishing a quorum;
b. vote (or execute and return an action by written consent), or cause to be voted at such meeting (or validly execute and return and cause such consent to be granted with respect to), all of the Covered Securities owned as of the record date for such meeting (or the date that any written consent is executed by such Securityholder) in favor of (i) the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (including amendment of the Company Certificate of Incorporation and Stockholders Agreements as described in this Section 1) and (ii) against any action, agreement or transaction or proposal that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement or that would reasonably be expected to result in the failure of the Merger from being consummated and (iii) each of the proposals and any other matters necessary or reasonably requested by Acquiror for consummation of the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (iv) in any other circumstances upon which a consent or other approval is required under the organizational documents of the Company or otherwise sought with respect to the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, to vote, consent or approve (or cause to be voted, consented or approved) all of such Securityholder’s Covered Securities held at such time in favor thereof; and
c. vote (or execute and return an action by written consent), or cause to be voted at such meeting (or validly execute and return and cause such consent to be granted with respect to), all of the Covered Securities against (i) any Acquisition Proposal or any other merger agreement, merger, consolidation, combination, sale of substantial assets, reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of or by the Company (other than the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby) and (ii) any other action that would reasonably be expected to (x) materially impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, or (y) result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of such Securityholder contained in this Agreement.

2. Irrevocable Proxy.
a. Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Acquiror, each Securityholder hereby irrevocably appoints Acquiror or any individual designated by Acquiror as the Securityholder’s agent, attorney-in-fact and proxy (with full power of substitution and resubstituting), for and in the name, place and stead of the Securityholder, to attend on behalf of the Securityholder any meeting of the holders of Company Capital Stock or other Covered Securities with respect to the matters described in Section 1, to include the Covered Securities in any computation for purposes of establishing a quorum at any such meeting of the holders of Company Capital Stock or other Covered Securities, to vote (or cause to be voted) the Covered Securities or consent (or withhold consent) with respect to any of the matters described in Section 1 in connection with any meeting of the holders of Company Capital Stock or other Covered Securities or any action by written consent by the holders of Company Capital Stock or other Covered Securities, in each case, in the event that the Securityholder fails to timely perform or otherwise comply with the covenants, agreements or obligations set forth in Section 1.
b. The proxy granted by each Securityholder pursuant to Section 2(a) is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy and is granted in consideration for Acquiror entering into the Merger Agreement and agreeing to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. The proxy granted by each Securityholder pursuant to Section 2(a) is also a durable proxy and shall survive the bankruptcy, dissolution, death, incapacity or other inability to act by each Securityholder and shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by each Securityholder with respect to the Covered Securities. The vote or consent of the proxyholder in accordance with Section 2(a) and with respect to the matters in Section 1 shall control in the event of any conflict between such vote or consent by the proxyholder of the Covered Securities and a vote or consent by each Securityholder of the Covered Securities (or any other Person with the power to vote the Covered Securities) with respect to the matters in Section 1. The proxyholder may not exercise the proxy granted pursuant to Section 2(a) on any matter except those provided in Section 1. For the avoidance of doubt, each Securityholder may vote the Covered Securities on all other matters, subject to, for the avoidance of doubt, the other applicable covenants, agreements and obligations set forth in this Agreement.
c. Each Securityholder hereby (i) irrevocably and unconditionally waives any rights of appraisal, dissenter’s rights and any similar rights relating to the Merger Agreement and the consummation by the parties of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, that such Securityholder may have under applicable law (including Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or otherwise), (ii) acknowledges and consents to, on behalf of itself, and each other holder of Company Preferred Stock and irrevocably and unconditionally waives any and all rights such Securityholder may have with respect to, the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of Company Preferred Stock into shares of Company Common Stock, with such conversion to be in accordance with the terms of the Company Certificate of Incorporation and effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger.
d. Each Securityholder hereby irrevocably waives, on behalf of themselves and each other holder of Company Preferred Stock, any right to any payments upon liquidation of the Company pursuant to the Company Certificate of Incorporation or any Contract.
3. Other Covenants and Agreements.
a. Each Securityholder hereby agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any such agreement, (i) each Stockholder Agreement shall be automatically terminated in accordance with their terms and of no further force and effect (including any provisions of any such agreement that, by its terms, survive such termination) effective as of, and subject to and conditioned upon the occurrence of, the Closing and (ii) upon such termination neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates (including from and after the Effective Time, Acquiror and its Affiliates) shall have any further obligations or liabilities under each such agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Securityholder hereby agrees to promptly execute and deliver all additional agreements, documents and instruments and take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary or reasonably advisable in order to achieve the purpose of the preceding sentence.
3
b. Each Securityholder hereby (i) covenants and agrees that such Securityholder hereby elects to voluntarily convert any Convertible Notes held by such Securityholder, and listed on Schedule I hereto, into the applicable series of Company Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of the applicable Convertible Notes effective immediately prior to, and subject and conditioned upon the occurrence of, the Effective Time of the Merger without any action on the part of the Securityholder or the Company; provided that the conversion of any Convertible Notes shall be deemed to occur immediately prior to the automatic conversion of the Company Preferred Stock into Company Common Stock and (ii) acknowledges and consents to the termination of each of the agreements set forth on Schedule III hereto to which such Securityholder is a party effective as of, and subject to and conditioned upon the occurrence of, the Closing.
c. Each Securityholder hereby covenants and agrees that effective as of the Effective Time, any vested and exercisable Company Warrant held by such Securityholder, and listed on Schedule I hereto, that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and not expired or terminated pursuant to its terms, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of PubCo, the Company or the holder of any such Company Warrant, shall be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of PubCo Common Stock equal to (i) the Per Share Merger Consideration, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Company Capital Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Company Warrant on a net exercise basis, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment. For the avoidance of doubt, any Company Warrant which has a per share exercise price that is greater than or equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration Value shall be cancelled at the Effective Time for no consideration or payment.
d. Each Securityholder hereby covenants and agrees that such Securityholder shall not (i) enter into any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to any of such Securityholder’s Covered Securities that is inconsistent with such Securityholder’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) grant a proxy or power of attorney with respect to any of such Securityholder’s Covered Securities that is inconsistent with such Securityholder’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement or (iii) enter into any agreement or undertaking that is otherwise inconsistent with, or would interfere with, or prohibit or prevent it from satisfying, its obligations pursuant to this Agreement.
4. Transfer of Securities. Except as otherwise contemplated by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement, each Securityholder agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, assign, transfer (including by operation of law), create any lien or pledge, dispose of or otherwise encumber any of the Covered Securities or otherwise agree to do any of the foregoing, (b) deposit any of the Covered Securities into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto that is inconsistent with this Agreement or (c) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking requiring the direct acquisition or sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of any of the Covered Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, this Agreement shall not prohibit the conversion or exercise of any Convertible Notes or Company Warrants held by any Securityholder into Company Preferred Stock or Company Common Stock, as applicable, in accordance with their terms prior to the Effective Time of the Merger.
5. No Solicitation of Transactions. Each Securityholder agrees not to directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, representative, agent or otherwise, (a) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage (including by furnishing information) the submission of, or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, any transaction in violation of the Merger Agreement or (b) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person or other entity or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, any information with the intent to, or otherwise cooperate in any way with respect to, or knowingly assist, participate in, facilitate or encourage, any unsolicited proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal or other transaction in violation of the Merger Agreement. Each Securityholder shall, and shall cause its affiliates and Representatives to, immediately cease any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any person (other than with Acquiror, its stockholders and their respective affiliates and Representatives) conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to, or which is reasonably likely to give rise to or result in, an Acquisition Proposal. If any Securityholder receives any inquiry or proposal with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, then such Securityholder shall promptly (and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after such Securityholder becomes aware of such inquiry or proposal) notify such person in writing that the Company is subject to an exclusivity agreement with respect to the Merger that prohibits such Securityholder from considering such inquiry or proposal.
4
6. Representations and Warranties of the Securityholders. Each Securityholder hereby represents and warrants to Acquiror as follows:
a. Such Securityholder is the only record and a beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of, and has good, valid and marketable title to, the Covered Securities, free and clear of Liens other than as created by this Agreement or such Securityholder’s organizational documents or the organizational documents of the Company (including, without limitation, for the purposes hereof, any agreement between or among stockholders of the Company).

5
e. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Securityholder does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will not, constitute or result in (i) a breach or violation of, or a default under, the organizational or governing documents of such 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 any of the properties, rights or assets of such Securityholder pursuant to any contract binding upon such Securityholder or, assuming (solely with respect to performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby), compliance with the matters referred to in Section 1, under any applicable Law to which such Securityholder is subject or (iii) any change in the rights or obligations of any party under any contract legally binding upon such Securityholder, except, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) directly above, for any such breach, violation, termination, default, creation, acceleration or change that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or impair such Securityholder’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
f. As of the date of this Agreement, there is no action, proceeding or investigation pending against such Securityholder or, to the knowledge of such Securityholder, threatened against such Securityholder that questions the beneficial or record ownership of the Covered Securities, the validity of this Agreement or the performance by such Securityholder of its obligations under this Agreement.

Schedule III
Exhibit 10.4
Form of Non-Redemption Agreement
January ___, 2021
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Falcon Capital Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), has proposed to enter into a definitive agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) for a business combination with Sharecare, Inc. (the “Target”), pursuant to which the Issuer will acquire the Target on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (the “Transaction”). As a condition to its willingness to enter into the Definitive Agreement, the Issuer has required the holder of the Issuer’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), named on the signature page hereof (“Holder”) to execute and deliver this Letter Agreement.
In consideration of the foregoing and the mutual acknowledgments, understandings, and agreements contained in this Letter Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Issuer and Holder hereby agree as follows:
1. Representations and Warranties of Holder. Holder represents and warrants that it and/or certain of its controlled affiliates own beneficially as of the date hereof the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that were originally included in the units sold in the Issuer’s initial public offering set forth below its signature on the signature page hereof (the “Investor’s Shares”).
2. Pre-Closing Lock-up and Waiver of Redemption Rights. Holder acknowledges that it has certain rights with respect to the redemption of the Investor’s Shares pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) of the Issuer and in connection with the Transaction. Holder covenants and agrees that neither it nor any of its controlled affiliates shall:
(a) directly or indirectly Transfer (other than to any fund or account managed by the same investment manager as Holder) any of the Investor’s Shares, or any voting or economic interest therein, as of and following the date hereof through the earlier of (x) the date of the consummation of the Transaction (the “Closing Date”) and (y) the termination of the Definitive Agreement in accordance with its terms; or
(b) exercise any redemption rights under the Charter in connection with the Transaction or the special meeting of the stockholders of the Issuer to take place in connection with the Transaction with respect to the Investor’s Shares (the “Redemption Rights”).
For purposes hereof, “Transfer” shall mean, with respect to Investor’s Shares, the transfer, sale, offer, exchange, assignment, pledge (other than pursuant to standardized pledge arrangements with Holder’s prime brokers) or other disposition.
In furtherance of the foregoing: (x) Holder hereby irrevocably waives, on behalf of itself and its controlled affiliates, the Redemption Rights and irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Issuer and the Target and their respective designees, with full power of substitution, as its (and its controlled affiliates’) true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in its name, place and stead, to revoke any redemption election made in contravention of paragraph 2(b) above with respect to any Investor’s Shares and to cause the Issuer’s transfer agent to fail to redeem such Investor’s Shares in connection with the Transaction, and (y) in the event of a breach of paragraph 2(a) or 2(b) with respect to any Investor’s Shares (the “Transferred/Redeemed Shares”), Holder unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to, or to cause one or more of its affiliates to, subscribe for and purchase from the Issuer (or from its permitted assignee(s) or designee(s)) a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of such Transferred/Redeemed Shares, for a per share purchase price equal to the amount to be received by public stockholders of the Issuer exercising their redemption rights under the Charter in connection with the Transaction.
3. Other Agreements.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Holder shall have the right to Transfer any or all of the Investor’s Shares following the date that the closing price of the Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq equals or exceeds $11.00 per share for any five trading days within any consecutive 30-day trading period commencing on the fifth trading day after the date that the Transaction is publicly announced; provided, however, that, following any such Transfer(s) in accordance with this Section 3(a), if the closing price of the Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq is $11.00 or less on any date during the ten-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the deadline for submitting requests for redemptions of Class A Common Stock as set forth in the proxy statement relating to the Transaction (the “Redemption Deadline”), then Holder agrees to promptly purchase in the open market and hold through the Closing Date a number of shares of Class A Common Stock in order for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Holder on the Closing Date to equal or exceed the number of Investor’s Shares set forth on the signature page hereof.
(b) At the Issuer’s request, Holder agrees to provide such information, including brokerage account statements and an officer’s certificate of Holder, reasonably necessary in order for the Issuer to confirm Holder’s compliance with this Section 3.
4. Miscellaneous.
a. Holder acknowledges that the Issuer will rely on the representations, warranties, acknowledgments, understandings and agreements contained in this Letter Agreement. Holder agrees to promptly notify the Issuer if any of the representations, warranties, acknowledgments, understandings or agreements set forth herein are no longer accurate in all material respects.
b. Each of the Issuer and the Holder is entitled to rely upon this Letter Agreement and is irrevocably authorized to produce this Letter Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.
2
c. Neither this Letter Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to Holder hereunder may be transferred or assigned. Neither this Letter Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Issuer hereunder may be transferred or assigned.
d. This Letter Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such modification, waiver, or termination is sought.
e. This Letter Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
f. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Letter Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.
g. Holder acknowledges that the Issuer has established a trust account containing the proceeds of its initial public offering and from certain private placements (collectively, with interest accrued from time to time thereon, the “Trust Account”). Holder agrees that (i) it has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and (ii) it shall have no right of set-off or any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”) to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account, in each case in connection with this Letter Agreement, and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account that it may have in connection with this Letter Agreement or otherwise.

ATLANTA and NEW YORK, February 12, 2021 – Sharecare, the digital health company that helps people manage all of their health in one place, and Falcon Capital Acquisition Corp. (“Falcon”) (NASDAQ: FCAC), a special purpose acquisition company, announced today that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement. Upon closing of the transaction, the new company will become Sharecare, Inc. and be listed on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol SHCR; and is expected to have an initial enterprise value of $3.9 billion with approximately $400 million in growth capital on the balance sheet to drive sustained growth, sales force expansion, new digital offerings, and M&A including the completion of the recently announced doc.ai acquisition.
Jeff Arnold, founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of Sharecare, said, “We started Sharecare to leverage innovations in consumer technology – specifically the smartphone – to create a frictionless experience that engages people across the dynamic continuum of their healthcare needs. By integrating fragmented point solutions and bringing together stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem into one connected virtual care platform, we believe that Sharecare is uniquely positioned to transform the way people access, providers deliver, and employers and health plans administer high quality, cost efficient healthcare. Strategic partners, Anthem and Digital Alpha, will enable continued innovation in delivering high-impact solutions at scale. We believe Falcon will be invaluable as we pursue this next phase for Sharecare.”
“Anthem and Sharecare are focused on delivering proactive, predictive, and personalized health experiences for everyone,” said Rajeev Ronanki, senior vice president and chief digital officer of Anthem, Inc. and a recently added member of Sharecare’s board of directors. “We share a relentless focus on delivering meaningful improvements to consumers’ health and well-being as we simplify healthcare. Through this relationship, we will leverage human-centered design and digital technologies, including artificial intelligence, that increase consumer engagement, deliver more affordable healthcare, and achieve better health outcomes through services such as next generation personalized healthcare concierge and advocacy services.”
Rick Shrotri, founder and managing partner of Digital Alpha, said, “We are investing in Sharecare because of our shared vision to redefine the nexus of healthcare and digital infrastructure to accelerate the future of community well-being. Together, we will pursue repeatable and scalable outcome-based financing models that have tangible economic and community health impacts.”

Alan Mnuchin, chairman and chief executive officer of Falcon, added, “Jeff is a rare visionary who knows how to execute – multiple times over – and, at Sharecare, he and his exceptional team have continued to evolve and grow the business over the last decade, emerging as what we believe is a category of one. With its ability to harness the power of data and address fragmentation, Sharecare has the potential to redefine not only the marketplace but also people’s relationship with their own health and the stakeholders there to support them. We are excited to work with Sharecare to bring this comprehensive and innovative digital health platform to the public markets.”

Summary of the Transaction
Falcon Capital Acquisition Corp., led by Alan Mnuchin, is expected to own approximately 20% of the new company inclusive of the PIPE investors; Mr. Mnuchin, along with Jeff Sagansky, an independent director on Falcon’s board of directors, will join Sharecare’s board of directors.
The transaction is expected to be funded through a combination of Falcon’s $345 million of cash in trust (assuming no redemptions) supported by a $425 million fully committed PIPE at $10.00 per share and the Anthem investment. Anthem will expand its strategic partnership with Sharecare as Sharecare continues the development of products and services to enhance the healthcare experience.
The transaction implies a Sharecare enterprise value of $3.9 billion, or approximately 9.5x 2021 estimated net revenue. It is estimated that post-transaction, Sharecare will have approximately $400 million on its balance sheet to fund growth initiatives.

The transaction, which has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of Sharecare and Falcon, is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021, subject to receipt of Falcon stockholder approval and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the following words: “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. These statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this press release, we caution you that these statements are based on a combination of facts and factors currently known by us and our projections of the future, about which we cannot be certain. Forward-looking statements in this press release include, but are not limited to, future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the proposed business combination, the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the proposed business combination, and the timing of the completion of the proposed business combination. We cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this press release will prove to be accurate. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results, including, among others, the ability to complete the business combination due to the failure to obtain approval from FCAC’s shareholders or satisfy other closing conditions in the merger agreement, the occurrence of any event that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement, the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the business combination, the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against FCAC or Sharecare following announcement of the proposed business combination and related transactions, the impact of COVID-19 and/or the ability of the parties to complete the business combination, the ability to obtain or maintain the listing of FCAC’s common stock on Nasdaq following the proposed business combination, costs related to the proposed business combination, changes in applicable laws or regulations, the possibility that FCAC or Sharecare may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors, and other risks and uncertainties, including those to be included under the header “Risk Factors” in the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by FCAC with the SEC and those included under the header “Risk Factors” in the final prospectus of FCAC related to its initial public offering. Most of these factors are outside of FCAC’s and Sharecare’s control and are difficult to predict. Furthermore, if the forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all. The forward-looking statements in this press release represent our views as of the date of this press release. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release.

Industry and Market Data This presentation includes information and statistics regarding market participants in the sectors in which Sharecare competes and other industry data which was obtained from third - party sources, including reports by market research firms and company filings. Trademarks This presentation may contain trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights of other companies, which are the property of their respective owners. Solely for convenience, some of the trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights referred to in this presentation may be listed without the TM, SM © or ® symbols, but FCAC and Sharecare will assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, the rights of the applicable owners, if any, to these trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights. Use of Non - GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes non - GAAP financial measures . FCAC and Sharecare believe that these non - GAAP measures are useful to investors for two principal reasons . First, they believe these measures may assist investors in comparing performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis by removing from operating results the impact of items that do not reflect core operating performance . Second, these measures are used by Sharecare’s management to assess its performance . FCAC and Sharecare believe that the use of these non - GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends . These non - GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP . Other companies may calculate these non - GAAP financial measures differently, and therefore such financial measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies . In addition, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in any proxy statement or registration statement to be filed by FCAC with the SEC . A reconciliation of certain of these non - GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP measure is set forth in a table included at the end of this presentation .

APPENDIX Sharecare Risk Factors 46 Investing in the PIPE offering (the “Offering”) involves a high degree of risk. Below is a non - comprehensive list of certain risks and uncertainties, and there are various risks and uncertainties associated with Sharecare, Inc. (the “Company”). You should carefully consider these risks and uncertainties, together with the information in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes, and should carry out your own due diligence and consult with your own financial and legal advisors concerning the risks and suitability of an investment in this offering, before making an investment decision. There are many risks that could affect the business and results of operations of the Company, many of which are beyond its control. If any of these risks or uncertainties occurs, the Company’s business, financial condition and/or operating results could be materially and adversely harmed. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known or those currently viewed to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and/or operating results. If any of these risks or uncertainties actually occurs, the value of the Company’s equity securities may decline, and any investor in the Offering may lose all or part of its investment. • • • • • • Our industry is rapidly evolving and undergoing significant technological change If we are not successful in adapting to the evolving environment and promoting and improving the benefits of our platform, our growth may be limited, and our business may be adversely affected. We may be unable to compete effectively against our current and future competitors, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, business, and prospects. We derive a significant portion of our revenue from our largest clients. The loss, termination, or renegotiation of any contract could negatively impact our results. Our sales cycle can be long and complicated and requires considerable time and expense. As a result, our sales and revenue are difficult to predict and may vary substantially from period to period, which may cause our results of operations to fluctuate significantly. • If our existing clients do not continue or renew their contracts with us, renew at lower fee levels or decline to purchase additional solutions from us, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. • The growth of our business relies, in part, on the growth and success of our enterprise clients and the number of members with access to our offerings, which are difficult to predict and are affected by factors outside of our control. If the number of members of the populations of our enterprise clients decreases or the number of those members which utilize our solutions decreases, our revenue will likely decrease. • The growth of our business and future success relies in part on our partnerships and other relationships with third parties and our business could be harmed if we fail to maintain or expand these relationships If we are not able to maintain and enhance our reputation and brand recognition, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. We depend on our talent to grow and operate our business, and if we are unable to hire, integrate, develop, motivate and retain our personnel, including our senior management, we may not be able to grow effectively. • Our corporate culture has contributed to our success, and if we cannot maintain this culture as we grow, we could lose the innovation, creativity and teamwork fostered by our culture and our business may be harmed.
APPENDIX Sharecare Risk Factors 47 • • • • Our sales and the success of our marketing efforts depend significantly on our ability to call upon our current clients to provide positive references to new, potential clients. Failure to obtain such references, as a result of the dissatisfaction of our current clients or otherwise, may adversely affect our ability to grow our client base and in turn our business, financial condition, and results of operations. • Evolving government regulations may require increased costs or adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. • If we fail to comply with healthcare and other governmental regulations, we could face substantial penalties, liabilities, or reputational harm and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. Our use, disclosure, and other processing of personally identifiable information and personal health information is subject to The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and other federal, state, and foreign privacy and security regulations, and our failure to comply with those regulations or to adequately secure the information we hold could result in significant liability or reputational harm and, in turn, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Security breaches, loss of data, and other disruptions could compromise sensitive information related to our business, members or partners, or prevent us from accessing critical information and expose us to liability, which could adversely affect our business and our reputation. • We rely on internet infrastructure, bandwidth providers, third - party computer hardware and software, and other third parties for providing services to our clients and members, and any failure or interruption in the services provided by these third parties or the inability to access our platform on third - party operating systems could negatively impact our relationships with clients and members, adversely affecting our business, financial condition, and results of operations. • Failure to protect or enforce our intellectual property rights could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. • Any restrictions on our ability to obtain or use data could harm our business. • The failure of our platform to achieve and maintain market acceptance could result in us achieving sales below our expectations, which would cause our business, financial condition, and results of operation to be materially and adversely affected. If we are not able to develop new solutions, or successful enhancements, new features and modifications to our existing solutions, or otherwise incorporate such new solutions or enhancements or modifications to existing solutions through acquisition or partnership, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. • Acquisitions and investments could result in operating difficulties, dilution, and other harmful consequences that may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Additionally, if we are not able to identify and successfully acquire suitable businesses, our operating results and prospects could be harmed. • We may not grow at the rates we historically have achieved or at all, even if our key metrics may indicate growth. • If we fail to effectively manage our growth, we may be unable to execute our business plan, adequately address competitive challenges or maintain our corporate culture, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

The information contained herein does not purport to be all - inclusive . The data contained herein is derived from various internal and external sources . No representation is made as to the reasonableness of the assumptions made within or the accuracy or completeness of any projections or modeling or any other information contained herein . Any data on past performance or modeling contained herein is not an indication as to future performance . FCAC and Sharecare assume no obligation to update any information in this Investor Presentation, except as required by law . The listing of customers and associated marks are meant to represent a sampling of customers that use our products and services as of January 2021 for diligence and informational purposes only and do not constitute any representation regarding the ongoing relationship or endorsement of any particular customer . Important Information About the Business Combination and Where to Find It In connection with the proposed business combination, FCAC intends to file a registration statement on Form S - 4 (the "Registration Statement") with the U . S . Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which will include a proxy statement/prospectus, and certain other related documents, to be used at the meeting of FCAC stockholders to approve the proposed business combination . Investors and security holders of FCAC are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus, any amendments thereto and other relevant documents that will be filed with the SEC carefully and in their entirety when they become available because they will contain important information about Sharecare, FCAC and the proposed business combination . The definitive proxy statement/ prospectus will be mailed to stockholders of FCAC as of a record date to be established for voting on the proposed business combination . Investors and security holders will also be able to obtain copies of the Registration Statement and other documents containing important information about the business combination and the parties to the business combination once such documents are filed with the SEC, without charge, at the SEC's web site at www . sec . gov, or by directing a request to : info@ariliam . com . Participants in the Solicitation FCAC and its directors and executive officers, under SEC rules, may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies from FCAC's stockholders with respect to the proposed business combination . A list of the names of those directors and executive officers and a description of their interests in FCAC is contained in the final prospectus for FCAC's initial public offering, which was filed with the SEC on September 23 , 2020 , and is available free of charge at the SEC's web site at www . sec . gov, or by directing a request to : info@ariliam . com . Additional information regarding the interests of such participants will be set forth in the Registration Statement for the proposed business combination when available . Each of Sharecare and its directors, executive officers and other members of its management and employees, under SEC rules, may also be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the stockholders of FCAC in connection with the proposed 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 for the business combination when available . No Offer or Solicitation This Investor Presentation does not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the business combination . This Investor Presentation also does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities, nor will there be any sale of securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction . No offering of securities will be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Securities Act of 1933 , as amended, or an exemption therefrom . Industry and Market Data This presentation includes information and statistics regarding market participants in the sectors in which Sharecare competes and other industry data which was obtained from third - party sources, including reports by market research firms and company filings. Trademarks This presentation may contain trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights of other companies, which are the property of their respective owners. Solely for convenience, some of the trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights referred to in this presentation may be listed without the TM, SM © or ® symbols, but FCAC and Sharecare will assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, the rights of the applicable owners, if any, to these trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights. Use of Non - GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes non - GAAP financial measures . FCAC and Sharecare believe that these non - GAAP measures are useful to investors for two principal reasons . First, they believe these measures may assist investors in comparing performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis by removing from operating results the impact of items that do not reflect core operating performance . Second, these measures are used by Sharecare’s management to assess its performance . FCAC and Sharecare believe that the use of these non - GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends . These non - GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP . Other companies may calculate these non - GAAP financial measures differently, and therefore such financial measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies . In addition, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in any proxy statement or registration statement to be filed by FCAC with the SEC . A reconciliation of certain of these non - GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP measure is set forth in a table included at the end of this presentation .
