AMENDED AND RESTATED

FORWARD PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Amended and Restated Forward Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of April 21, 2021 between Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Northern Genesis Capital II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (f/k/a Northern Genesis Capital LLC) (“NGC”), and each Purchaser (as defined herein) that executes and delivers from time to time a Purchaser Joinder hereto (as defined herein), and amends and restates that certain Forward Purchase Agreement dated January 11, 2021 between the Company and NGC.

WHEREAS, the Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”);

WHEREAS, the Company recently completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of the Company’s units (the “Public Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, each comprised of one share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock,” and the shares of Common Stock included in the Public Units, the “Public Shares”), and one-third of one redeemable warrant, where each whole redeemable warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Warrants,” and the Warrants included in the Public Units, the “Public Warrants”);

WHEREAS, following the closing of the IPO (the “IPO Closing”), the Company commenced a process to identify and consummate a Business Combination, and the Company may seek to raise funds through an issuance and private placement of equity securities of the Company to be issued in connection with the consummation of such Business Combination; and

WHEREAS, the parties wish to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which, to the extent that the Company seeks to issue and sell equity securities through a PIPE Transaction (as defined herein) in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination, (a) the Company shall first irrevocably offer to issue and sell to the members of NGC (or any affiliates of any such member designated thereby), on a private placement basis pursuant to this Agreement, Forward Purchase Securities (as defined herein) in an aggregate dollar amount specified herein, and (b) one or more members of NGC (or any affiliate of any such member designated thereby) may elect (each such entity making such election, a “Purchaser”) to purchase all or a portion of such Forward Purchase Securities by confirming its purchase commitment by executing and delivering a separate Purchaser Joinder (as defined herein), in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, representations, warranties and the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Commitment.

1.1. Priority. The Company hereby agrees that, as a condition to and as part of any issuance and sale of any equity securities of the Company pursuant to a PIPE Transaction in connection with its initial Business Combination, the Company shall irrevocably offer to issue and sell to the members of NGC (or any affiliates of any such member designated thereby), on a private placement basis pursuant to this Agreement, Forward Purchase Securities (as defined herein) in an aggregate dollar amount (the “FPA Offering Amount”) equal to (a) $50,000,000 (the “Minimum Amount”), plus (b) any portion of the next $25,000,000 of equity securities to be issued in any PIPE Transaction (the “Additional Amount”) that no other person has a right to purchase (or that such other persons fail to purchase when offered) pursuant to the terms of any other Forward Purchase Agreement (such sum, the “Maximum Amount”); provided, however, that each of the Minimum Amount and the Additional Amount shall be reduced in the same proportion, if any, by which the aggregate dollar amount of such PIPE Transaction is less than $75,000,000. As used herein:

1.1.1. “PIPE Transaction” means a private placement of equity securities (including, without limitation, pursuant to this Agreement and, as applicable, any other Forward Purchase Agreement) in connection with and by a party to the Company’s initial Business Combination, to institutional accredited investors solely in their capacity as such, and not due to the unique status of an investor (or any affiliate thereof) in relation to the Business Combination or in relation to a party thereto other than the Company, such status including but not limited to (a) an existing ownership interest in any party to the Business Combination other than the Company, (b) an intended cornerstone interest in the post-transaction company, as evidenced by governance rights, transfer restrictions, or other terms and conditions (other than registration rights) not generally applicable to the holders of securities of the post-transaction company, (c) an existing or intended material or strategic commercial relationship with the post-transaction company, or (d) the role of such investor (or any affiliate thereof) in the origination of such Business Combination.

1.1.2. “Forward Purchase Agreement” means any agreement entered into by the Company and any other party thereto, whether prior to or upon or following the date hereof, but in any case prior to the disclosure to such party of any proposed initial Business Combination of the Company, that grants to such party the right or option, whether conditional or unconditional, to subscribe for and purchase equity securities of the Company pursuant to a PIPE Transaction.

1.2. Terms of the Forward Purchase Securities.

1.2.1. As used herein, “Forward Purchase Securities” means forward purchase units (each, a “Forward Purchase Unit”) at a price of $10.00 per Forward Purchase Unit, each such Forward Purchase Unit consisting of one share of Common Stock (a “Forward Purchase Share”) and one-sixth of one redeemable Warrant (each such whole Warrant, a “Forward Purchase Warrant”); provided, that such number of Forward Purchase Shares and Forward Purchase Warrants shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with any conversion or exchange ratio applicable to the Company’s Public Shares and Public Warrants in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination.

1.2.2. Except as provided in Section 3 below, following the Closing, (a) each Forward Purchase Share shall have the same terms as a Public Share, (b) each Forward Purchase Warrant shall have the same terms as a Public Warrant; and (c) each Forward Purchase Unit shall have the same terms as a Public Unit except that a Forward Purchase Unit shall include only one-sixth of a Warrant. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Forward Purchase Shares nor any other Forward Purchase Securities constitute “IPO Shares” as defined in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and, as such, do not have any rights of redemption, rights to conversion into cash, or rights to any liquidating distributions from any funds held in the trust account established by the Company for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders upon the IPO Closing (the “Trust Account”).

1.3. Offer to Sell.

1.3.1. If the Company desires to issue and sell equity securities pursuant to a PIPE Transaction, then no later than fifteen (15) days prior to entering into any definitive agreement binding the Company to effect (subject to any conditions and qualifications set forth in such agreement) its initial Business Combination (a “Business Combination Agreement”), the Company shall give written notice to NGC (an “FPA Offering Notice”), which shall state the Company’s bona fide intention to enter into a Business Combination Agreement, and specify all relevant details of the proposed sale and purchase of Forward Purchase Securities pursuant hereto, including (a) the FPA Offering Amount, (b) any modifications to the price, terms and/or conditions of such sale and purchase specified herein, to the extent required by Section 1.3.2, and (c) any terms and conditions of such sale and purchase that are not specified herein, and the proposed form of any Subscription Agreement (as defined below) that may be required by the Company to be executed by a Purchaser as a condition to such sale and purchase, in each case to the extent permitted by Section 1.3.3.

1.3.2. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1, but notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that the purchase price or other terms and conditions of purchase granted by the Company with respect to the purchase of equity securities of the Company pursuant to a PIPE Transaction are more favorable to any purchaser in any material respect than the price or other terms or conditions set forth herein, the price and/or terms and conditions hereunder shall be modified, or deemed modified, to match such other more favorable price, terms and/or conditions.

1.3.3. The Company shall have the right to specify terms of and conditions to the purchase of Forward Purchase Securities hereunder that are not specified herein, to the extent and only to the extent that such terms and conditions (a) apply equally to all purchases of equity securities of the Company pursuant to a PIPE Transaction, and (b) are not inconsistent with the terms and conditions specified herein. In addition, as a condition to the sale and purchase of Forward Purchase Securities hereunder, the Company shall have the right to require that each Purchaser execute and deliver to the Company a subscription agreement in form and substance identical to that executed and delivered by any other persons concurrently subscribing for equity securities in the Company on a private placement basis, subject to such changes as may be required thereto so as to reflect, and not be inconsistent with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement (a “Subscription Agreement”).

1.4. Confirmation by NGC.

1.4.1. Following delivery of an FPA Offering Notice, the Company will provide NGC and the prospective Purchasers with applicable materials and information to evaluate whether to elect to purchase Forward Purchase Securities, including the material terms of the proposed Business Combination and any other information reasonably requested by NGC or any prospective Purchaser with respect to the proposed Business Combination. All such materials and information will be subject to the terms of a non-disclosure agreement to be entered between the Company, NGC and each prospective Purchaser in accordance with applicable law (including Regulation FD under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), and the Company’s contractual obligations; provided, that the Company shall have the right to refuse to provide any such materials or information if, in the opinion of the Company, acting reasonably and in good faith having received the advice of counsel, the provision of such materials or information could violate applicable laws or regulations or result in any waiver of legal privilege of the Company; and provided, further, that if the target entity’s equity or debt securities are traded on a securities exchange or over-the-counter market, prior to providing such materials and information, the Company will first provide only the name of the potential target to a legal or compliance person designated by NGC or by a prospective Purchaser in writing as authorized to receive such information so that the recipient can determine if it has an internal restriction on the receipt of such materials or information.

1.4.2. The right and obligation of a member of NGC or any affiliate of any such member to purchase the Forward Purchase Securities at the Closing is subject to, among other conditions specified below, NGC delivering to the Company on behalf of each such Purchaser, no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of an FPA Offering Notice from the Company (or such later date as the Company may specify or agree, including by later acceptance):

(a) written notice (a “Confirmation”) setting forth (i) the identity of each Purchaser, (ii) the aggregate dollar amount (up to the FPA Offering Amount) of Forward Purchase Securities that the Purchasers shall purchase at the Closing (such specified amount, the “Purchase Price”), and (iii) the amount of the Purchase Price allocated to, and to be paid directly by, each Purchaser; and

(b) for each such Purchaser, a joinder to this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (with such changes as may be agreed to by the Company in its sole discretion), duly executed by such Purchaser (each, a “Purchaser Joinder”), in respect of the portion of the Forward Purchase Securities allocated to such Purchaser pursuant to the Confirmation (each, a “Purchaser FPA Purchase Amount”), providing for the direct sale and purchase of Forward Purchase Securities by the Company to such Purchaser, on a several (and not joint) basis;

provided, however, that delivery of any such Purchaser Joinder to the Company after the date specified above shall not invalidate such Purchaser Joinder, and such delayed delivery may be waived by the Company by any means, and shall irrevocably be deemed to have been waived by the Company upon the Company’s written acceptance of a Purchase Joinder or the issuance of any Forward Purchase Securities pursuant thereto.

1.4.3. The Company acknowledges that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, this Agreement is neither a commitment nor an obligation of any Purchaser to purchase any Forward Purchase Securities unless and until a Purchaser Joinder is delivered by and on behalf of such Purchaser in accordance with Section 1.4.2. For the avoidance of doubt, it shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of each member of NGC (and any affiliate thereof) whether to deliver a Purchaser Joinder, and the no member of NGC (nor any affiliate thereof) shall have any liability or obligation hereunder with respect to the purchase of any Forward Purchase Securities if for any reason, in its sole and absolute discretion, a Purchaser Joinder is not delivered by or on behalf of such entity within fifteen (15) days after receipt of an FPA Offering Notice from the Company.

3. Restrictions on Transfer; Registration Rights.

3.1. Securities Law Restrictions. The Forward Purchase Securities are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, and can be offered, sold or transferred only pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Each Purchaser hereby agrees not to offer, sell, or transfer all or any part of the Forward Purchase Securities unless, prior thereto (a) a registration statement on the appropriate form under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws with respect to such Forward Purchase Securities proposed to be transferred shall then be effective or (b) the Company has received an opinion of counsel for the Company that such registration is not required because such transaction is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder and under all applicable state securities laws. All certificates representing Forward Purchase Securities shall have endorsed thereon a legend substantially as follows:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS OR, SUBJECT TO AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR SUCH OTHER INFORMATION AS THE COMPANY MAY REQUIRE, AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS.”

3.2. Registration Rights. The Company hereby confirms and agrees that each Purchaser and any subsequent holder of any Forward Purchase Securities sold and purchased hereunder will be entitled to registration rights with respect to such Forward Purchase Securities pursuant to the terms of any registration rights agreement benefitting any other purchasers of equity securities pursuant to the PIPE Transaction or, in the absence of the foregoing, that certain Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement dated as of the date hereof between the Company and certain other parties thereto (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).

3.3. No Short Sales. Each Purchaser hereby agrees that, from the date hereof until the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination, neither it, nor any person or entity acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it, will engage in any Short Sales with respect to securities of the Company. For purposes of this Section 3.3, “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 any transactions having like effect through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) nothing herein shall prohibit any entities under common management or that share an investment advisor with any Purchaser that have no knowledge of this Agreement or of any Purchaser’s participation in the transactions contemplated in this Agreement (including any Purchaser’s controlled affiliates and/or other affiliates) from entering into any Short Sales and (ii) in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, this Section 3.3 shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase Forward Purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement.

4. Additional Agreements and Acknowledgements.

4.1. Board Observers. The Company agrees that, from the effective time of the Registration Statement until consummation of the Business Combination, NGC shall have the right to designate two (2) observers to the Board, each of which shall have the right to receive notice of and to attend any and all meetings of the Board during such period, but neither of which shall have the right to vote on any matter that shall come before the Board or otherwise have any powers of a member of the Board. The Company shall take any such actions as necessary to give effect to the foregoing.

4.2. Other Forward Purchase Agreements. The Company shall not enter into any Forward Purchase Agreement (or any agreement related thereto or any amendment of any of the foregoing) that (a) provides any purchaser thereunder and its affiliates, taken as a whole, rights to purchase pursuant to a PIPE Transaction equity securities of the Company having terms, or for a per-security price, that are more favorable than the terms of the Forward Purchase Securities and per-security price hereunder, unless the Company offers to modify the terms of this Agreement as necessary to render the terms of the Forward Purchase Securities and per-security price hereunder materially equivalent to such other more favorable terms; or (b) reduces the FPA Offering Amount hereunder to less than the Minimum Amount (other than by reason of proportional reduction of the Minimum Amount in the event that the aggregate dollar amount of the PIPE Transaction is less than $75,000,000).

4.3. No Vote on Business Combination. The Purchasers acknowledge and agree that if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, the Forward Purchase Securities shall not be issued and outstanding as of the record date for any stockholder meeting at which such vote shall be held and, as such, none of the Forward Purchase Securities shall be entitled to vote at any such meeting on the Business Combination or any other matter on which a vote is held thereat.

4.4. No Rights to Redemption or Liquidating Distributions. The Purchasers acknowledge and agree that the issuance and sale of the Forward Purchase Securities to each Purchaser, if any, is pursuant to a private placement of such securities and not pursuant to the IPO (and as such, no Forward Purchase Securities constitute “IPO Shares” as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation), and is conditioned upon the substantially concurrent closing of a Business Combination. As such, the Purchasers further acknowledge and agree that (a) neither any Purchaser nor any other holder of any Forward Purchase Securities is entitled to participate with respect to any Forward Purchase Securities in any tender offer conducted by the Company in connection with any Business Combination, (b) neither any Purchaser nor any other holder of any Forward Purchase Securities is entitled to elect to have any such Forward Purchase Securities converted into or redeemed for cash in connection with any Business Combination or any amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation, and (c) neither any Purchaser nor any other holder of any Forward Purchase Securities is entitled to participate with respect to any Forward Purchase Securities in any liquidating distributions from the Trust Account.

4.5. Waiver of Claims Against Trust. NGC and each Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is aware that the Company has established the Trust Account for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders upon the IPO Closing. NGC and each Purchaser hereby agrees that it has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, that NGC or such Purchaser may have in respect of any Public Shares that may be held by NGC or such Purchaser from time to time. NGC and each Purchaser hereby agrees that 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, and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account that it may have now or in the future, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, that NGC or such Purchaser may have in respect of any Public Shares held by NGC or such Purchaser from time to time. In the event NGC or any Purchaser has any Claim against the Company under this Agreement, NGC or such Purchaser shall pursue such Claim solely against the Company and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the property or any monies in the Trust Account.

4.6. Disclosure. NGC and each Purchaser hereby acknowledges and consents to the disclosure by the Company of the existence and terms of this Agreement, including without limitation in any confidential or public filing made with the SEC, and the inclusion of a copy of this Agreement as an exhibit to any such filing. Within four (4) business days following the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and NGC, the Company will file with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K, disclosing the entry into this Agreement and attaching a copy of this Agreement as an Exhibit thereto. In addition, the Company shall, within one (1) business day following the later of (a) the entry by the Company into a Business Combination Agreement, and (b) the execution and delivery of a Confirmation and one or more Purchaser Joinders hereunder, or the entry into one or more Subscription Agreements as may be required by the Company pursuant hereto, issue one or more press releases or file with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Business Combination and any other material, nonpublic information that the Company has provided to any Purchaser at any time prior to such filing.

4.7. Use of Any Purchaser’s Name. Subject to Section 4.6, the Company will not, without the written consent of such actual or prospective Purchaser in each instance, use in advertising, publicity or otherwise the name of any actual or prospective Purchaser or any of its affiliates, or any director, officer or employee of any actual or prospective Purchaser or any of its affiliates, nor any trade name, trademark, trade device, service mark, symbol or any abbreviation, contraction or simulation thereof owned by any actual or prospective Purchaser or any of its affiliates or any information relating to the business or operations of any actual or prospective Purchaser or any of its affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any investment vehicles, funds or accounts managed thereby). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may disclose any Purchaser’s name and information concerning such Purchaser (a) to the extent required by law, regulation or regulatory request, including in a registration statement or (b) to the Company’s lawyers, independent accountants and to other advisors and service providers who reasonably require such Purchaser’s information in connection with the provision of services to the Company, are advised of the confidential nature of such information and are obligated to keep such information confidential; provided, however, that the Company agrees to provide to any such Purchaser, for such Purchaser’s review in advance of the submission, filing or disclosure of such document, any disclosure with respect to such Purchaser or any of its affiliates in any registration statement, proxy statement or other document in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and will not make any such submission, filing or disclosure without including any revisions reasonably requested in writing by such Purchaser or to the extent such Purchaser has a good faith objection to such submission, filing or disclosure.

4.8. Additional PIPE Financing. If the Company undertakes a PIPE Transaction in connection with its initial Business Combination in an aggregate dollar amount in excess of $75,000,000 (such excess amount, an “Additional PIPE Financing”), the Company shall communicate with Counterparty regarding such opportunity and, to the extent requested in writing by Counterparty, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, for Counterparty (and any affiliates as may be designated by Counterparty), a priority right to participate in such Additional PIPE Financing in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) an amount equal to 200% of the Counterparty FPA Offering Amount, reduced in the same proportion, if any, by which the aggregate dollar amount of such Additional PIPE Financing is less than $150,000,000, or (b) the amount specified in writing by Counterparty. The terms of any such Additional PIPE Financing, including the securities to be issued pursuant thereto, and any participation by Counterparty or any of its affiliates therein, shall be governed solely by the subscription or other agreements executed by Counterparty (and any of its affiliates) and the Company in connection with such Additional PIPE Financing and not by the terms of this Agreement.

4.9. Alternative PIPE Financing. If an entity other than the Company is to be the surviving public issuer of securities pursuant to the Company’s initial Business Combination and undertakes a PIPE Transaction in connection with such Business Combination (an “Alternative PIPE Financing”), the Company shall cause such issuer to give effect to the rights of Counterparty hereunder in relation to such Alternative PIPE Transaction (and any Additional PIPE Financing in relation thereto) as if the Company were the issuer of securities pursuant to such Alternative PIPE Transaction, subject to such equitable changes to the terms hereof as may be necessary to give effect to the substitution of such issuer for the Company hereunder.

5. Termination.

5.1. This Agreement may be terminated (a) at any time prior to the Closing by mutual written consent of the Company and NGC prior to the execution and delivery to the Company of one or more Purchaser Joinders hereunder, (b) by the Company, by written notice to NGC, if NGC does not deliver to the Company a Confirmation and one or more Purchaser Joinders within the time specified hereby following delivery of an FPA Offering Notice by the Company to NGC, or (c) as to any particular Purchaser only, by mutual written consent of the Company and such Purchaser following the execution and delivery to the Company of a Purchaser Joinder by or on behalf of such Purchaser.

5.2. In the event of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5, any amount of the Purchase Price paid by any Purchaser prior to such termination shall be promptly returned to such Purchaser (without interest), and thereafter this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of any party and all rights and obligations of each party shall cease; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 5 shall relieve any party from liabilities or damages arising out of any fraud or willful breach by such party prior to such termination of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

6. Representations and Warranties.

6.1. Representations and Warranties of each Purchaser.

6.1.2. No Conflicts or Consents. The execution and delivery of this Agreement (including by execution and delivery of any Purchaser Joinder) by NGC or such Purchaser, as applicable, and the performance of this Agreement and the consummation by NGC or such Purchaser, as applicable, of the transactions contemplated hereby do not violate, conflict with or constitute a default under (a) the organizational documents of NGC or such Purchaser, as applicable, (b) any agreement, indenture or instrument to which NGC or such Purchaser, as applicable, is a party, (c) any law, statute, rule or regulation to which NGC or such Purchaser, as applicable, is subject, or (d) any agreement, order, judgment or decree to which NGC or such Purchaser, as applicable, is subject. No governmental, administrative or other third-party consents or approvals are required, necessary or appropriate on the part of NGC or such Purchaser, as applicable, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.1.3. No Adverse Actions. There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending, threatened against or affecting NGC or such Purchaser, as applicable, which (a) seek to restrain, enjoin, prevent the consummation of or otherwise affect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (b) question the validity or legality of any of such transactions or seek to recover damages or to obtain other relief in connection with any such transactions.

6.1.4. Adequacy of Funds. At the time of the Closing, such Purchaser will have available to it sufficient funds to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement.

6.1.5. No Brokers.

Such Purchaser is: (a) sophisticated in financial and tax matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Forward Purchase Securities and (b) able to bear the economic and tax risk of its investment in the Forward Purchase Securities for an indefinite period of time because the Forward Purchase Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.

Such Purchaser must bear the economic and tax risk of this investment until the Forward Purchase Securities are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration available with respect to such sale. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic and tax risks of an investment in the Forward Purchase Securities and to afford a complete loss of such Purchaser’s investment in the Forward Purchase Securities.

Prior to its execution of this Agreement (including by execution of a Purchaser Joinder), such Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from representatives of the Company concerning an investment in the Company, as well as the finances, operations, business and prospects of the Company, and the opportunity to obtain additional information to verify the accuracy of all information so obtained. In determining whether to make this investment, such Purchaser has relied solely on such Purchaser’s own knowledge and understanding of the Company and its business based upon such Purchaser’s own due diligence investigation and the information furnished pursuant to this paragraph.

6.1.8. Accredited Investor. NGC and such Purchaser, as applicable, is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act and acknowledges the sale contemplated hereby is being made in reliance on a private placement exemption applicable to “accredited investors” or similar exemptions under federal and state law.

6.1.9. Investment Purposes. Such Purchaser is purchasing the Forward Purchase Securities solely for investment purposes and not with a view towards the further distribution or dissemination thereof.

6.1.10. Certain Acknowledgments. Such Purchaser understands that (a) no federal or state agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the offering of the Forward Purchase Securities; (b) no public market now exists for the Forward Purchase Securities, and the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Forward Purchase Securities; and (c) its agreement to purchase the Forward Purchase Securities involves a high degree of risk which could cause such Purchaser to lose all or part of its investment.

Such Purchaser understands that (A) the Forward Purchase Securities are being offered in a transaction not involving a public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act, (B) the Forward Purchase Securities will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act and any certificates representing the Forward Purchase Securities will contain a legend in respect of such restrictions, (C) the Forward Purchase Securities can be offered, sold or transferred only pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or an available exemption from such registration, and as a condition precedent to any such transfer, such Purchaser may be required to deliver to the Company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, and (D) because the Company is a shell company, Rule 144 may not be available to such Purchaser for the resale of the Forward Purchase Securities until one (1) year following the filing of a Form 8-K announcing the consummation of the Business Combination.

6.1.12. Residence. The principal place of business of NGC or such Purchaser, as applicable, is the office or offices located at the address thereof set forth on the signature page to this Agreement (in the case of NGC) or the signature page to the Purchaser Joinder executed by such Purchaser.

WHEREAS, the Company recently completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of the Company’s units (the “Public Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, each comprised of one share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock,” and the shares of Common Stock included in the Public Units, the “Public Shares”), and one-third of one redeemable warrant, where each whole redeemable warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Warrants,” and the Warrants included in the Public Units, the “Public Warrants”);

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, representations, warranties and the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Commitment.

1.1. Priority. The Company hereby agrees that, as a condition to and as part of any issuance and sale of any equity securities of the Company pursuant to a PIPE Transaction in connection with its initial Business Combination, the Company shall irrevocably offer to issue and sell to Counterparty (and/or one or more affiliates thereof designated by Counterparty), on a private placement basis pursuant to this Agreement, Forward Purchase Securities (as defined herein) in an aggregate dollar amount (the “Counterparty FPA Offering Amount”) equal to $[●], reduced in the same proportion, if any, by which the aggregate dollar amount of such PIPE Transaction is less than $75,000,000. As used herein:

1.1.1. “PIPE Transaction” means a private placement of equity securities (including, without limitation, pursuant to this Agreement and, as applicable, any other Forward Purchase Agreement) in connection with and by a party to the Company’s initial Business Combination, to institutional accredited investors solely in their capacity as such, and not due to the unique status of an investor (or any affiliate thereof) in relation to the Business Combination or in relation to a party thereto other than the Company, such status including but not limited to (a) an existing ownership interest in any party to the Business Combination other than the Company, (b) an intended cornerstone interest in the post-transaction company, as evidenced by governance rights, transfer restrictions, or other terms and conditions (other than registration rights) not generally applicable to the holders of securities of the post-transaction company, (c) an existing or intended material or strategic commercial relationship with the post-transaction company, or (d) the role of such investor (or any affiliate thereof) in the origination of such Business Combination.

1.1.2. “Forward Purchase Agreement” means any agreement entered into by the Company and any other party thereto, whether prior to or upon or following the date hereof, but in any case prior to the disclosure to such party of any proposed initial Business Combination of the Company, that grants to such party the right or option, whether conditional or unconditional, to subscribe for and purchase equity securities of the Company pursuant to a PIPE Transaction.

1.2. Terms of the Forward Purchase Securities.

1.2.1. As used herein, “Forward Purchase Securities” means forward purchase units (each, a “Forward Purchase Unit”) at a price of $10.00 per Forward Purchase Unit, each such Forward Purchase Unit consisting of one share of Common Stock (a “Forward Purchase Share”) and one-sixth of one redeemable Warrant (each such whole Warrant, a “Forward Purchase Warrant”); provided, that such number of Forward Purchase Shares and Forward Purchase Warrants shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with any conversion or exchange ratio applicable to the Company’s Public Shares and Public Warrants in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination.

1.2.2. Except as provided in Section 3 below, following the Closing, (a) each Forward Purchase Share shall have the same terms as a Public Share, (b) each Forward Purchase Warrant shall have the same terms as a Public Warrant; and (c) each Forward Purchase Unit shall have the same terms as a Public Unit except that a Forward Purchase Unit shall include only one-sixth of a Warrant. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Forward Purchase Shares nor any other Forward Purchase Securities constitute “IPO Shares” as defined in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and, as such, do not have any rights of redemption, rights to conversion into cash, or rights to any liquidating distributions from any funds held in the trust account established by the Company for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders upon the IPO Closing (the “Trust Account”).

1.3. Offer to Sell.

1.3.1. If the Company desires to issue and sell equity securities pursuant to a PIPE Transaction, then no later than fifteen (15) days prior to entering into any definitive agreement binding the Company to effect (subject to any conditions and qualifications set forth in such agreement) its initial Business Combination (a “Business Combination Agreement”), the Company shall give written notice to Counterparty (an “FPA Offering Notice”), which shall state the Company’s bona fide intention to enter into a Business Combination Agreement, and specify all relevant details of the proposed sale and purchase of Forward Purchase Securities pursuant hereto, including (a) the Counterparty FPA Offering Amount, (b) any modifications to the price, terms and/or conditions of such sale and purchase specified herein, to the extent required by Section 1.3.2, and (c) any terms and conditions of such sale and purchase that are not specified herein, and the proposed form of any Subscription Agreement (as defined below) that may be required by the Company to be executed by a Purchaser as a condition to such sale and purchase, in each case to the extent permitted by Section 1.3.3.

1.3.2. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1, but notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that the purchase price or other terms and conditions of purchase granted by the Company with respect to the purchase of equity securities of the Company pursuant to a PIPE Transaction are more favorable to any purchaser in any material respect than the price or other terms or conditions set forth herein, the price and/or terms and conditions hereunder shall be modified, or deemed modified, to match such other more favorable price, terms and/or conditions.

1.3.3. The Company shall have the right to specify terms of and conditions to the purchase of Forward Purchase Securities hereunder that are not specified herein, to the extent and only to the extent that such terms and conditions (a) apply equally to all purchases of equity securities of the Company pursuant to a PIPE Transaction, and (b) are not inconsistent with the terms and conditions specified herein. In addition, as a condition to the sale and purchase of Forward Purchase Securities hereunder, the Company shall have the right to require that each Purchaser execute and deliver to the Company a subscription agreement in form and substance identical to that executed and delivered by any other persons concurrently subscribing for equity securities in the Company on a private placement basis, subject to such changes as may be required thereto so as to reflect, and not be inconsistent with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement (a “Subscription Agreement”).

1.4. Confirmation by Counterparty.

1.4.1. Following delivery of an FPA Offering Notice, the Company will provide Counterparty with applicable materials and information to evaluate whether to elect to purchase Forward Purchase Securities, including the material terms of the proposed Business Combination and any other information reasonably requested by Counterparty with respect to the proposed Business Combination. All such materials and information will be subject to the terms of a non-disclosure agreement to be entered between the Company and Counterparty in accordance with applicable law (including Regulation FD under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), and the Company’s contractual obligations; provided, that the Company shall have the right to refuse to provide any such materials or information if, in the opinion of the Company, acting reasonably and in good faith having received the advice of counsel, the provision of such materials or information could violate applicable laws or regulations or result in any waiver of legal privilege of the Company; and provided, further, that if the target entity’s equity or debt securities are traded on a securities exchange or over-the-counter market, prior to providing such materials and information, the Company will first provide only the name of the potential target to a legal or compliance person designated by Counterparty in writing as authorized to receive such information so that the recipient can determine if it has an internal restriction on the receipt of such materials or information.

1.4.2. The right and obligation of Counterparty or any of its designated affiliates to purchase the Forward Purchase Securities at the Closing is subject to, among other conditions specified below, Counterparty delivering to the Company on behalf of each such Purchaser, no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of an FPA Offering Notice from the Company (or such later date as the Company may specify or agree, including by later acceptance):

(a) written notice (a “Confirmation”) setting forth (i) the identity of each Purchaser, (ii) the aggregate dollar amount (up to the Counterparty FPA Offering Amount) of Forward Purchase Securities that the Purchasers shall purchase at the Closing (such specified amount, the “Purchase Price”), and (iii) the amount of the Purchase Price allocated to, and to be paid directly by, each Purchaser; and

(b) for each such Purchaser other than Counterparty, a joinder to this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (with such changes as may be agreed to by the Company in its sole discretion), duly executed by such Purchaser (each, a “Purchaser Joinder”), in respect of the portion of the Forward Purchase Securities allocated to such Purchaser pursuant to the Confirmation (each, a “Purchaser FPA Purchase Amount”), providing for the direct sale and purchase of Forward Purchase Securities by the Company to such Purchaser, on a several (and not joint) basis;

provided, however, that delivery of any such Purchaser Joinder to the Company after the date specified above shall not invalidate such Purchaser Joinder, and such delayed delivery may be waived by the Company by any means, and shall irrevocably be deemed to have been waived by the Company upon the Company’s written acceptance of a Purchase Joinder or the issuance of any Forward Purchase Securities pursuant thereto.

1.4.3. The Company acknowledges that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, this Agreement is neither a commitment nor an obligation of Purchaser to purchase any Forward Purchase Securities unless and until a Confirmation is delivered in accordance with Section 1.4.2. For the avoidance of doubt, it shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of Counterparty whether to deliver a Confirmation, and the Counterparty and all of its affiliates shall be excused, without any further liability or obligation hereunder, from the purchase of any Forward Purchase Securities if for any reason, in its sole and absolute discretion, it does not deliver a Confirmation within fifteen (15) days after receipt of an FPA Offering Notice from the Company.

3.1. Securities Law Restrictions. The Forward Purchase Securities are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, and can be offered, sold or transferred only pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Each Purchaser hereby agrees not to offer, sell, or transfer all or any part of the Forward Purchase Securities unless, prior thereto (a) a registration statement on the appropriate form under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws with respect to such Forward Purchase Securities proposed to be transferred shall then be effective or (b) the Company has received an opinion of counsel for the Company that such registration is not required because such transaction is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder and under all applicable state securities laws. All certificates representing Forward Purchase Securities shall have endorsed thereon a legend substantially as follows:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS OR, SUBJECT TO AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR SUCH OTHER INFORMATION AS THE COMPANY MAY REQUIRE, AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS.”

3.2. Registration Rights. The Company hereby confirms and agrees that each Purchaser and any subsequent holder of any Forward Purchase Securities sold and purchased hereunder will be entitled to registration rights with respect to such Forward Purchase Securities pursuant to the terms of any registration rights agreement benefitting any other purchasers of equity securities pursuant to the PIPE Transaction or, in the absence of the foregoing, that certain Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement dated as of the date hereof between the Company and certain other parties thereto (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).

3.3. No Short Sales. Each Purchaser hereby agrees that, from the date hereof until the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination, neither it, nor any person or entity acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it, will engage in any Short Sales with respect to securities of the Company. For purposes of this Section 3.3, “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 any transactions having like effect through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) nothing herein shall prohibit any entities under common management or that share an investment advisor with any Purchaser that have no knowledge of this Agreement or of any Purchaser’s participation in the transactions contemplated in this Agreement (including any Purchaser’s controlled affiliates and/or other affiliates) from entering into any Short Sales and (ii) in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, this Section 3.3 shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase Forward Purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement.

4. Additional Agreements and Acknowledgements.

4.1. Other Forward Purchase Agreements. Except to the extent otherwise agreed in writing by Counterparty, the Company shall not enter into any Forward Purchase Agreement (or any agreement related thereto or any amendment of any of the foregoing) that provides any purchaser thereunder and its affiliates, taken as a whole, rights to purchase pursuant to a PIPE Transaction equity securities of the Company having terms, or for a per-security price, that are more favorable than the terms of the Forward Purchase Securities and per-security price hereunder, unless the Company offers to modify the terms of this Agreement as necessary to render the terms of the Forward Purchase Securities and per-security price hereunder materially equivalent to such other more favorable terms; provided, however, that Counterparty hereby agrees that no rights shall arise under this Section 4.1 or Section 1.3.2 hereof due to (a) rights to appoint observers to meetings of the board of directors of the Company granted to entities whose affiliates (i) are members of the sponsor of the Company and (ii) participating in forward purchase arrangements with the Company similar to this Agreement, or (b) the dollar amount of equity securities of the Company that any other purchaser may be granted priority rights to purchase under a Forward Purchase Agreement, or the grant to any purchaser of priority rights to purchase equity securities under a Forward Purchaser Agreement that any other purchaser under a Forward Purchase Agreement failed to confirm or purchase.

4.2. No Vote on Business Combination. The Purchasers acknowledge and agree that if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, the Forward Purchase Securities shall not be issued and outstanding as of the record date for any stockholder meeting at which such vote shall be held and, as such, none of the Forward Purchase Securities shall be entitled to vote at any such meeting on the Business Combination or any other matter on which a vote is held thereat.

4.3. No Rights to Redemption or Liquidating Distributions. The Purchasers acknowledge and agree that the issuance and sale of the Forward Purchase Securities to each Purchaser, if any, is pursuant to a private placement of such securities and not pursuant to the IPO (and as such, no Forward Purchase Securities constitute “IPO Shares” as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation), and is conditioned upon the substantially concurrent closing of a Business Combination. As such, the Purchasers further acknowledge and agree that (a) neither any Purchaser nor any other holder of any Forward Purchase Securities is entitled to participate with respect to any Forward Purchase Securities in any tender offer conducted by the Company in connection with any Business Combination, (b) neither any Purchaser nor any other holder of any Forward Purchase Securities is entitled to elect to have any such Forward Purchase Securities converted into or redeemed for cash in connection with any Business Combination or any amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation, and (c) neither any Purchaser nor any other holder of any Forward Purchase Securities is entitled to participate with respect to any Forward Purchase Securities in any liquidating distributions from the Trust Account.

4.4. Waiver of Claims Against Trust. Counterparty and each Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is aware that the Company has established the Trust Account for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders upon the IPO Closing. Counterparty and each Purchaser hereby agrees that it has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, that Counterparty or such Purchaser may have in respect of any Public Shares that may be held by Counterparty or such Purchaser from time to time. Counterparty and each Purchaser hereby agrees that 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, and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account that it may have now or in the future, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, that Counterparty or such Purchaser may have in respect of any Public Shares held by Counterparty or such Purchaser from time to time. In the event Counterparty or any Purchaser has any Claim against the Company under this Agreement, Counterparty or such Purchaser shall pursue such Claim solely against the Company and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the property or any monies in the Trust Account.

4.5. Disclosure. Counterparty and each Purchaser hereby acknowledges and consents to the disclosure by the Company of the existence and terms of this Agreement, including without limitation in any confidential or public filing made with the SEC, and the inclusion of a copy of this Agreement as an exhibit to any such filing. Within four (4) business days following the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and Counterparty, the Company will file with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K, disclosing the entry into this Agreement and attaching a copy of this Agreement as an Exhibit thereto. In addition, the Company shall, within one (1) business day following the later of (a) the entry by the Company into a Business Combination Agreement, and (b) the execution and delivery of a Confirmation and one or more Purchaser Joinders hereunder, or the entry into one or more Subscription Agreements as may be required by the Company pursuant hereto, issue one or more press releases or file with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Business Combination and any other material, nonpublic information that the Company has provided to any Purchaser at any time prior to such filing.

4.6. Use of Counterparty’s Name. Subject to Section 4.5, the Company will not, without the written consent of Counterparty in each instance, use in advertising, publicity or otherwise the name of Counterparty or any of its affiliates, or any director, officer or employee of Counterparty or any of its affiliates, nor any trade name, trademark, trade device, service mark, symbol or any abbreviation, contraction or simulation thereof owned by Counterparty or any of its affiliates or any information relating to the business or operations of Counterparty or any of its affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any investment vehicles, funds or accounts managed thereby). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may disclose Counterparty’s name and information concerning Counterparty (a) to the extent required by law, regulation or regulatory request, including in a registration statement or (b) to the Company’s lawyers, independent accountants and to other advisors and service providers who reasonably require Counterparty’s information in connection with the provision of services to the Company, are advised of the confidential nature of such information and are obligated to keep such information confidential; provided, however, that the Company agrees to provide to Counterparty, for Counterparty’s review in advance of the submission, filing or disclosure of such document, any disclosure with respect to Counterparty or any of its affiliates in any registration statement, proxy statement or other document in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and will not make any such submission, filing or disclosure without including any revisions reasonably requested in writing by Counterparty or to the extent Counterparty has a good faith objection to such submission, filing or disclosure.

4.7. Additional PIPE Financing. If the Company undertakes a PIPE Transaction in connection with its initial Business Combination in an aggregate dollar amount in excess of $75,000,000 (such excess amount, an “Additional PIPE Financing”), the Company shall communicate with Counterparty regarding such opportunity and, to the extent requested in writing by Counterparty, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, for Counterparty (and any affiliates as may be designated by Counterparty), a priority right to participate in such Additional PIPE Financing in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) an amount equal to 200% of the Counterparty FPA Offering Amount, reduced in the same proportion, if any, by which the aggregate dollar amount of such Additional PIPE Financing is less than $150,000,000, or (b) the amount specified in writing by Counterparty. The terms of any such Additional PIPE Financing, including the securities to be issued pursuant thereto, and any participation by Counterparty or any of its affiliates therein, shall be governed solely by the subscription or other agreements executed by Counterparty (and any of its affiliates) and the Company in connection with such Additional PIPE Financing and not by the terms of this Agreement.

4.8. Alternative PIPE Financing. If an entity other than the Company is to be the surviving public issuer of securities pursuant to the Company’s initial Business Combination and undertakes a PIPE Transaction in connection with such Business Combination (an “Alternative PIPE Financing”), the Company shall cause such issuer to give effect to the rights of Counterparty hereunder in relation to such Alternative PIPE Transaction (and any Additional PIPE Financing in relation thereto) as if the Company were the issuer of securities pursuant to such Alternative PIPE Transaction, subject to such equitable changes to the terms hereof as may be necessary to give effect to the substitution of such issuer for the Company hereunder.

5. Termination.

5.1. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing (a) by mutual written consent of the Company and Counterparty, or (b) by the Company, by written notice to Counterparty, if Counterparty does not deliver to the Company a Confirmation and one or more Purchaser Joinders within the time specified hereby following delivery of an FPA Offering Notice by the Company to Counterparty. In addition, this Agreement shall terminate automatically without further action by any party if, prior to the Closing:

5.1.1. A Business Combination is consummated by the Company without the issuance and sale by the Company of equity securities through a PIPE Transaction in connection with such Business Combination;

5.2. In the event of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5, any amount of the Purchase Price paid by any Purchaser prior to such termination shall be promptly returned to such Purchaser (without interest), and thereafter this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of any party and all rights and obligations of each party shall cease; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 5 shall relieve any party from liabilities or damages arising out of any fraud or willful breach by such party prior to such termination of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

6. Representations and Warranties.

6.1. Representations and Warranties of each Purchaser. Except for the specific representations and warranties contained in this Section 6.1 and in any Purchaser Joinder and Subscription Agreement, if any, as may be delivered pursuant hereto, neither Counterparty nor any Purchaser, nor any affiliate of any of the foregoing, nor any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing (the “Purchaser Parties”) has made, makes or shall be deemed to make any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to Counterparty, any Purchaser or this offering, and the Purchaser Parties disclaim any such representation or warranty. Counterparty and each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

6.1.1. Organization and Authority. It is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has all requisite power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. All entity action necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement by Counterparty or such Purchaser, as applicable, and the consummation thereby of the transactions contemplated hereby has been taken. This Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Counterparty or such Purchaser, as applicable, enforceable against Counterparty or such Purchaser, as applicable, in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

6.1.2. No Conflicts or Consents. The execution and delivery of this Agreement (including by execution and delivery of any Purchaser Joinder) by Counterparty or such Purchaser, as applicable, and the performance of this Agreement and the consummation by Counterparty or such Purchaser, as applicable, of the transactions contemplated hereby do not violate, conflict with or constitute a default under (a) the organizational documents of Counterparty or such Purchaser, as applicable, (b) any agreement, indenture or instrument to which Counterparty or such Purchaser, as applicable is a party, (c) any law, statute, rule or regulation to which Counterparty or such Purchaser, as applicable, is subject, or (d) any agreement, order, judgment or decree to which Counterparty or such Purchaser, as applicable, is subject. No governmental, administrative or other third-party consents or approvals are required, necessary or appropriate on the part of Counterparty or such Purchaser, as applicable, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Such Purchaser is: (a) sophisticated in financial and tax matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Forward Purchase Securities and (b) able to bear the economic and tax risk of its investment in the Forward Purchase Securities for an indefinite period of time because the Forward Purchase Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Such Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its own interests. Such Purchaser must bear the economic and tax risk of this investment until the Forward Purchase Securities are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration available with respect to such sale.

6.1.10. Certain Acknowledgments. Such Purchaser understands that (a) no federal or state agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the offering of the Forward Purchase Securities; (b) no public market now exists for the Forward Purchase Securities, and the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Forward Purchase Securities; and (c) its agreement to purchase the Forward Purchase Securities involves a high degree of risk which could cause such Purchaser to lose all or part of its investment.

6.1.11. Restrictions on Transfer; Shell Company. Such Purchaser understands that (A) the Forward Purchase Securities are being offered in a transaction not involving a public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act, (B) the Forward Purchase Securities will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act and any certificates representing the Forward Purchase Securities will contain a legend in respect of such restrictions, (C) the Forward Purchase Securities can be offered, sold or transferred only pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or an available exemption from such registration, and as a condition precedent to any such transfer, such Purchaser may be required to deliver to the Company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, and (D) because the Company is a shell company, Rule 144 may not be available to such Purchaser for the resale of the Forward Purchase Securities until one (1) year following the filing of a Form 8-K announcing the consummation of the Business Combination.

6.1.12. Residence. The principal place of business of Counterparty or such Purchaser, as applicable, is the office or offices located at the address thereof set forth on the signature page to this Agreement (in the case of Counterparty) or the signature page to the Purchaser Joinder executed by such Purchaser.

6.1.14. Non-Reliance. Except for the specific representations and warranties expressly made by the Company in Section 6.2 of this Agreement and in any Purchaser Joinder or Subscription Agreement, if any, as may be delivered pursuant hereto, Counterparty or such Purchaser, as applicable, has not relied and is not relying upon any other representations or warranties that may have been made by any of the Company Parties (defined below) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
