WHEREAS, on July 11, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger with FAST Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (“FAST”), and the other parties thereto, providing for the combination of the Company and FAST (the “Original Merger Agreement”, as amended and restated on January 31, 2023, the “Merger Agreement”, and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transaction”);

 

WHEREAS, Infinite is a member of the Company and currently owns 52,186,305 membership units of the Company (the “Membership Units”) representing a percentage interest in the Company of 55.1342%;

 

WHEREAS, Infinite desires to subscribe directly or through one of its affiliates (such subscriber, the “Subscriber”) for and purchase additional Membership Units of the Company for a purchase price of $10.00 per Membership Unit (the “Per Unit Price” and the aggregate of such Per Unit Price for all Subscribed Membership Units being referred to herein as the “Purchase Price”), and the Company desires to issue and sell to Subscriber up to 2,000,000 Membership Units (the “Subscribed Membership Units”) in consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price by or on behalf of Subscriber to the Company;

 

WHEREAS, the Company and Subscriber are executing and delivering this Subscription Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); and

 

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

 

Section 1. Subscription.

 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Subscriber hereby agrees to subscribe for and purchase on a private placement basis, and the Company hereby agrees to assign all rights and title to, and to issue and sell to Subscriber, upon the payment of the Purchase Price, the Subscribed Membership Units (such subscription and issuance, the “Subscription”). The Subscriber shall have the option to pay for the Subscribed Membership Units in installments in one or more Closings (as defined below) prior to the Consummation Date (as defined below) and, upon such payment, the Company shall issue the number of Membership Units to the subscriber equal to the portion of the Purchase Price paid divided by the Per Unit Price. For the avoidance of doubt, the Subscriber shall be required, in the aggregate, to have fully paid the Purchase Price for the Subscribed Membership Units by the Consummation Date.

 

(b) The Subscriber’s interest and capital account with the Company will be set forth in Exhibit A to the operating agreement of the Company, dated April 30, 2021 by and among the Company and the members whose signatures appear on the signature page thereof (as amended and modified from time to time, the “Operating Agreement”).

(a) The Subscription shall be fully consummated on the earlier of (i) the Termination Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) the receipt of the total Purchase Price by the Company and the issuance of all of the Subscribed Membership Units to the Subscriber or (iii) at any time so determined by the Company (such period, the “Offering Period”), subject to the right of the Company to extend the Offering Period one or more times to such final date that the Company shall in its discretion so determine without notice or vote of the Subscriber (the “Consummation Date”).

 

(b) At least five (5) Business Days before the date on which the Subscriber shall purchase Membership Units (each, a “Closing Date” and each such closing, a “Closing”), the Company shall deliver written notice to Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”) specifying (i) the anticipated Closing Date and (ii) the wire instructions for delivery of the Purchase Price, whether in whole or in part, to the Company. No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Subscriber shall deliver such Purchase Price for the Subscribed Membership Units by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company in the Closing Notice, and deliver to the Company such information as is reasonably requested in the Closing Notice in order for the Company to issue the Subscribed Membership Units to Subscriber, including, without limitation, the legal name of the person in whose name the Subscribed Membership Units are to be issued and a duly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or appropriate Form W-8. Upon satisfaction (or, if applicable, waiver) of the conditions set forth in this Section 2, the Company shall issue the Subscribed Membership Units to Subscriber upon which Subscriber shall become bound by the Operating Agreement. Failure to close on an anticipated Closing Date shall not, by itself, be deemed to be a failure of any of the conditions to a Closing set forth in this Section 2 to be satisfied or waived on or prior to the Closing Date, and (y) unless and until this Subscription Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 5 herein, Subscriber shall remain obligated (A) to redeliver funds to the Company in escrow following the Company’s delivery to Subscriber of a new Closing Notice and (B) to consummate the Closing upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.

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

 

(i)all representations and warranties of Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Subscriber Material Adverse Effect (as defined below), which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) at and as of the Closing Date; and

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

Subscriber acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

 

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other 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 Membership Units covered by this Agreement.

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