Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Subscription Agreement have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Transaction Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, in connection with the Transaction, Pagaya is seeking a commitment from the Investor to purchase, prior to the closing of the Transaction but following the consummation of the Capital Restructuring (as defined in the Transaction Agreement), Pagaya’s Class A ordinary shares, without par value (the “Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Per Share Subscription Price”), for an aggregate purchase price of up to $200,000,000, which purchase price assumes that Pagaya has effected the Corporate Restructuring, including the Stock Split, prior to the Closing (as defined below) in order to cause the per share price of one Share to be $10.00, subject to adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, recapitalization or similar event occurring after the date hereof;

WHEREAS, the aggregate amount of Shares to be purchased by the Investor (as set forth on the signature page hereto) is referred to herein as the “Subscription Shares”; and

WHEREAS, the aggregate purchase price to be paid by the Investor for the Subscription Shares (as set forth on the signature page hereto) is referred to herein as the “Subscription Amount”.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, each of the Investor and Pagaya acknowledges and agrees as follows:

1. Subscription. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Investor hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from Pagaya, and Pagaya hereby irrevocably agrees to issue and sell to the Investor, the Subscription Shares on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for herein (the “Subscription”).

2. Closing. The closing of the sale of the Subscription (the “Closing”) shall occur on the closing date of the Transaction (the “Closing Date”) and be conditioned upon the prior or substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction and satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in Section 3 hereof. Upon delivery of written notice from (or on behalf of) Pagaya to the Investor (the “Closing Notice”) that Pagaya reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transaction to be satisfied or waived on an expected closing date that is not less than five (5) business days from the date on which the Closing Notice is delivered to the Investor, the Investor shall, two (2) business days prior to the expected closing date specified in the Closing Notice (or such other date agreed to in writing by Pagaya and the Investor), deliver, by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds, amounts, as determined by Pagaya, equal to all or portions of the Subscription Amount to (i) Pagaya and/or (ii) such other account(s) as designated by Pagaya. Pagaya will avoid making any use of the Subscription Amount or any part thereof until after the Closing. At Closing, Pagaya shall issue the Subscription Shares to the Investor and cause the Subscription Shares to be registered in book-entry form in the name of the Investor (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions, as applicable) on Pagaya’s share register. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New


York, New York or Tel-Aviv, Israel are authorized or required by Legal Requirements to close. Prior to or at the Closing Date, the Investor shall deliver to Pagaya a duly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or appropriate Form W-8.

If any termination hereof occurs after the delivery by the Investor of the Subscription Amount for the Subscription Shares and prior to the Closing, Pagaya shall promptly (but not later than three (3) business days thereafter) return or cause the return of the Subscription Amount to the Investor without any deduction for or on account of any tax, withholding, charges or set-off.

No Other Subscription Agreement with any Other Investor includes or will include terms and conditions more advantageous to any Other Investor than to the Investor with respect to the purchase of Shares by such Other Investor and any Other Subscription Agreements reflect the same purchase price per share as the Per Share Purchase Price hereunder. No Other Subscription Agreement with any Other Investor will include terms and conditions more advantageous to any Other Investor than to each of the remaining Other Investors with respect to the purchase of Shares by such Other Investor and any Other Subscription Agreements reflect the same purchase price per share as the Per Share Purchase Price hereunder.

(n) If the Investor is or is acting on behalf of (i) an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), (ii) a plan, an individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), (iii) an entity whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement described in clauses (i) and (ii) (each, an “ERISA Plan”), or (iv) an employee benefit plan that is a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA), a non-U.S. plan (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) or other plan that is not subject to the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) but may be subject to provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code (collectively, “Similar Laws,” and together with ERISA Plans, “Plans”), then the Investor represents and warrants that (1) neither Pagaya nor any of its affiliates has provided investment advice or has otherwise acted as the Plan’s fiduciary, with respect to its decision to acquire and hold the Subscription Shares, and none of the parties to the Transaction is or shall at any time be the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision in connection with the Investor’s investment in the Subscription Shares; and (2) its purchase of the Subscription Shares will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or any applicable Similar Law.

(o) No disclosure or offering document has been provided to the Investor by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“JPM”), UBS Securities LLC (“UBS” and together with JPM, collectively, the “Placement Agents”) or any of their affiliates in connection with the offer and sale of the Subscription Shares.

(p) The Investor acknowledges that none of the Placement Agents, any of their affiliates, or any control Persons, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing has made any independent investigation with respect to SPAC, Pagaya or its subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, or the Shares or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of any information supplied to the Investor by Pagaya.

(q) In connection with the issue and purchase of the Subscription Shares, none of the Placement Agents or any of their affiliates has acted as the Investor’s financial advisor or fiduciary.

(r) The Investor has or has commitments to have and, when required to deliver payment to Pagaya pursuant to Section 2 above, will have, sufficient funds to pay the Subscription Amount and consummate the purchase and sale of the Subscription Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

(s) No broker’s or finder’s fees or commissions will be payable by the Investor with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

(t) The Investor hereby agrees that, from the date of this Subscription Agreement until the Closing Date (or earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement), neither the Investor nor any Person acting on behalf of the Investor or pursuant to any understanding with the Investor will engage in any Short Sales (as defined below) with respect to securities of SPAC or Pagaya. In addition, as of the date of this Subscription Agreement, the Investor does not have, and during the thirty (30) day period immediately prior to the date of this Subscription Agreement, the Investor has not entered into, any “put equivalent position” as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act or Short Sale positions with respect to the securities of SPAC or Pagaya. For purposes of this Section 6(t), “Short Sales” shall mean all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, and all short positions effected through any direct or 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), or sales or other short transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing in this Section 6(t) shall prohibit other entities under common management with the Investor that have no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of the Investor’s Subscription (including the Investor’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any Short Sales and (ii) in the case of an Investor that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Investor’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers or desks managing other portions of such Investor’s assets, the limitations set forth in the first sentence of this Section 6(t) shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Subscription Shares covered by this Subscription Agreement.

(u) The Investor represents that no disqualifying event described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i)-(viii) (a “Disqualification Event”) is applicable to the Investor or any of its Rule 506(d) Related Parties (as defined below), except, if applicable, for a Disqualification Event as to which Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) is applicable. The Investor hereby agrees that it shall notify Pagaya promptly in writing in the event a Disqualification Event becomes applicable to the Investor or any of its Rule 506(d) Related Parties, except, if applicable, for a Disqualification Event as to which Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) is applicable. For purposes of this Section 6(u), “Rule 506(d) Related Party” shall mean a Person that is a beneficial owner of the Investor’s securities for purposes of Rule 506(d) under the Securities Act.

(v) The Investor hereby acknowledges that it is aware of the fact that, in addition to their capacity as Placement Agents in connection with the Subscription, (i) JPM is acting as financial advisor to Pagaya and (ii) UBS is acting as financial advisor to SPAC, in each case in connection with the Transaction.

7. Registration Rights.

(a) Pagaya agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days following the Closing Date (such deadline, the “Filing Deadline”), Pagaya will submit to or file with the SEC a registration statement for a shelf registration on Form F-1, Form F-3 (if Pagaya is then eligible to use a Form F-3 shelf registration) or other appropriate form (the “Registration Statement”), in each case, covering the resale of the Subscription Shares acquired by the Investor pursuant to this Subscription Agreement which are eligible for registration (determined as of two (2) business days prior to such submission or filing) (the “Registrable Shares”) and Pagaya shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof,

 

9


but no later than the earliest of (i) the 90th calendar day following the filing date thereof if the SEC notifies Pagaya that it will “review” the Registration Statement and (ii) the 10th business day after the date Pagaya 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 review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, however, that Pagaya’s obligations to include the Registrable Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Investor furnishing in writing to Pagaya such information regarding the Investor or its permitted assigns, the securities of Pagaya held by Investor and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Shares (which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings) as shall be reasonably requested by Pagaya to effect the registration of the Registrable Shares, and the Investor shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Pagaya may reasonably request that are customary of a selling shareholder in similar situations, including providing that Pagaya shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement, if applicable, during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder; provided that the Investor 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 Registrable Shares other than as necessary or advisable in order to allow, support or facilitate the registration of the Registrable Shares or as requested by an underwriter that is managing a registration or sale of the Registrable Shares. Pagaya will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide a draft of the Registration Statement to the Investor for review at least five (5) business days in advance of filing the Registration Statement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Pagaya be required to delay or postpone the filing of such Registration Statement as a result of or in connection with the Investor’s review. Pagaya shall, upon reasonable request, inform the Investor as to the status of the registration effected by Pagaya pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

(b) For as long as the Investor holds any Subscription Shares, Pagaya will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports for so long as the condition in Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) is required to be satisfied, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the undersigned to resell the Subscription Shares pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) (in each case, when Rule 144 of the Securities Act becomes available to the Investor). Any failure by Pagaya to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Deadline shall not otherwise relieve Pagaya of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents Pagaya from including any or all of the Subscription Shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Subscription Shares by the applicable shareholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Subscription Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Subscription Shares as is permitted by the SEC. In such event, the number of Subscription Shares to be registered for each selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders. As soon as is reasonably practicable upon notification by the SEC that the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, Pagaya shall file the final prospectus under Rule 424 of the Securities Act. In no event shall the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the SEC; provided that if the SEC requests that the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Investor will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement.

(c) At its expense Pagaya shall:

(i) except for such times as Pagaya 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 Pagaya determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to the Investor, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (A) the date the Investor ceases to hold any Registrable Shares, (B) the date all Registrable Shares held by Investor may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for Pagaya to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), and (C) two (2) years from the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The period of time during which Issuer is required hereunder to keep a Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “Registration Period”;

 

10


(ii) during the Registration Period, use commercially reasonable efforts to advise the Investor, upon written request, within five (5) business days:

(1) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

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

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

(4) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Pagaya shall not, when so advising the Investor of such events described in Section 7(c)(ii) above, provide the Investor with any material, nonpublic information regarding Pagaya other than to the extent that providing notice to the Investor of the occurrence of the events listed in (1) through (4) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding Pagaya;

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

(iv) during the Registration Period upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 7(c)(ii)(4) above, except for such times as Pagaya is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, Pagaya 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 Registrable 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) during the Registration Period use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Subscription Shares issued by Pagaya have been listed;

(vi) during the Registration Period or when the Subscription Shares may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144, cause Pagaya’s transfer agent (the “transfer agent”) to remove the legend set forth above in Section 6(b) and any other restrictive legend on any Subscription Shares, at the Investor’s request, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Subscription Shares are sold pursuant to Rule 144; and

(vii) during the Registration Period otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Investor, consistent with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, in connection with the registration of the Registrable Shares.

 

11


(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, Pagaya shall be entitled to delay the filing or effectiveness of, or suspend the use of, the Registration Statement if it determines (a) that in order for the Registration Statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, (i) 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 (ii) the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by Pagaya or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event Pagaya’s board of directors reasonably believes would require additional disclosure by Pagaya in the Registration Statement of material information that Pagaya has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of Pagaya’s board of directors to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements, (b) to delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, a Registration Statement and such delay or suspension arises out of, or is a result of, or is related to or is in connection with financial statements that are not made available to Pagaya for reasons beyond its control, or (c) in the good faith judgment of the majority of Pagaya’s board of directors, such filing or effectiveness or use of such Registration Statement, would be seriously detrimental to Pagaya and the majority of Pagaya board of directors concludes as a result that it is essential to defer such filing (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that Pagaya shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such Registration Statement available for the sale by the Investor of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter and Pagaya may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than three (3) occasions or for more than ninety (90) consecutive calendar days, or more than one hundred and twenty (120) total calendar days in each case during any twelve (12) month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from Pagaya 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, Investor agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Investor receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which Pagaya 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 Pagaya 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 Pagaya unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by Pagaya, Investor will deliver to Pagaya or, in Investor’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Shares in Investor’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Shares shall not apply (A) to the extent Investor is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (1) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (2) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (B) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Pagaya shall not, when advising the Investor of a Suspension Event, provide the Investor with any material, nonpublic information regarding Pagaya other than to the extent that providing notice to the Investor of the occurrence of a Suspension Event constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding Pagaya.

(e) The Investor may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to Pagaya requesting that the Investor not receive notices from Pagaya otherwise required by Section 7; provided, however, that the Investor may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from the Investor (unless subsequently revoked), (i) Pagaya shall not deliver any such notices to the Investor and the Investor shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to the Investor’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, the Investor will notify Pagaya 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 7(e)) and the related suspension period remains in effect, Pagaya will so notify the Investor, within two (2) business days of the Investor’s notification to Pagaya, by delivering to the Investor a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide the Investor with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event immediately upon its availability.

(f) Indemnification.

(i) Pagaya agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, Investor (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), its directors, officers, partners, managers, members, investment advisors, employees, shareholders and each Person who controls Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees of one (1) law firm) arising from, in connection with, or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement (“Prospectus”) or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information so furnished in writing to Pagaya by or on behalf of such Investor expressly for use therein or such Investor has omitted a material fact from such information or otherwise violated the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any other law, rule or regulation thereunder; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 7(f)(i) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out of pocket expenses if such settlement is effected without the consent of Pagaya (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall Pagaya be liable for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out of pocket expenses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon a violation which occurs (A) in connection with any failure of such Person to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made available by Pagaya in a timely manner, (B) as a result of offers or sales effected by or on behalf of any Person by means of a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that was not authorized in writing by Pagaya, or (C) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of an Investor in violation of Section 7(d) hereof.

(ii) In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, such Investor shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to Pagaya in writing such information as Pagaya reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify Pagaya, its directors, officers, agents, employees and each Person or entity who controls Pagaya (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable documented out of pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented outside attorneys’ fees of one (1) law firm) arising from, in connection with, or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) in any information so furnished in writing by on behalf of such Investor expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 7(f)(ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out of pocket expenses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Investor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and provided further that the liability of such Investor shall be several and not joint with any other investor and shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of Registrable Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(iii) Any Person 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 right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not 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

 

13


defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one (1) outside 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.

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

(v) If the indemnification provided under this Section 7(f) 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; provided, however, that the liability of the Investor shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of Registrable Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. 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 not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7(f)(i), Section 7(f)(ii) and Section 7(f)(iii) above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 7(f)(v) from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

8. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) if the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 3 of this Subscription Agreement are not satisfied, or are not capable of being satisfied, on or prior to the Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement will not be or are not consummated at the Closing and (d) July 15, 2022 (the “Outside Date”); provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful breach; provided, further, that the Outside Date shall be extended automatically once for three (3) months if all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1, Section 8.2 and Section 8.3 of the Transaction Agreement have been satisfied or waived at the Outside Date and those conditions which by their terms would be satisfied at the Closing. Pagaya shall notify the Investor of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement. Upon the termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with this Section 8, any monies paid by the Investor to Pagaya in connection herewith shall be promptly (and in any event within one business day after such termination) returned to the Investor.

9. Miscellaneous.

(a) Without the prior written consent of Pagaya, neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Investor hereunder (other than the Subscription Shares acquired hereunder, if any) may be transferred or assigned, other than (i) upon written notice to Pagaya to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Investor or transferred or assigned to any fund or account managed by the same investment manager as the Investor or an affiliate thereof or investment advisor that manages the Investor or an affiliate thereof that controls, is controlled by or under common control with such Investor or such investment manager or investment advisor, or (ii) as set forth on Schedule C. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to Pagaya hereunder or any of Pagaya’s obligations may be transferred or assigned other than pursuant to the Transaction.

(b) Pagaya may request from the Investor such additional information as Pagaya may deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Subscription Shares and in connection with the inclusion of the Subscription Shares in the Registration Statement, and the Investor shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested, to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with its internal policies and procedures. Pagaya agrees to keep any such information provided by the Investor confidential, except as may be required by applicable law, rule, regulation or in connection with any legal proceeding or regulatory request. The Investor acknowledges that Pagaya may file a copy of this Subscription Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to a current or periodic report or a registration statement of Pagaya.

(c) The Investor acknowledges that Pagaya, SPAC (as a third-party beneficiary with the right to enforce this Subscription Agreement) and the Placement Agents (as third-party beneficiaries with the right to enforce Section 4, Section 5, Section 6, Section 9, and Section 10 hereof on their own behalf and not on behalf of SPAC or Pagaya) will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, the Investor agrees to promptly notify Pagaya, SPAC and the Placement Agents if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Investor set forth herein are no longer accurate.

(d) Pagaya acknowledges that the Investor, SPAC (as a third-party beneficiary with the right to enforce Section 1, Section 2 and Section 4 of this Subscription Agreement) and the Placement Agents (as third-party beneficiaries with the right to enforce Section 4, Section 5, Section 6, Section 9, and Section 10 hereof on their own behalf and not on behalf of the Investor or SPAC) will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of Pagaya contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, Pagaya agrees to promptly notify the Investor, SPAC and the Placement Agents if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of Pagaya set forth herein are no longer accurate.

(e) Pagaya, SPAC, the Placement Agents and the Investor are each entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and each is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any action, suit, hearing, claim, charge, audit, lawsuit, litigation, inquiry or proceeding (in each case, whether civil, criminal or administrative or at law or in equity) by or before a Governmental Entity (“Legal Proceeding”) with respect to the matters covered hereby to the extent required by applicable law, regulatory body or stock exchange requirement.

(f) All of the representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing. All of the covenants and agreements made by each party in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing until the applicable statute of limitations or in accordance with their respective terms, if a shorter period.

(g) This Subscription Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 8 above) except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto and, to the extent required by the Transaction Agreement, SPAC. No failure or delay of either party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties and third-party beneficiaries hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.

 

15


(h) For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, no course of dealing among any or all of the parties shall operate as a waiver of the rights or remedies hereof.

(i) This Subscription Agreement (including the schedule hereto), together with the Transaction Agreement, the Sponsor Commitment Letter, the SPAC Voting Agreement, the Sponsor Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement (each as defined in the Transaction Agreement) (together, the “Transaction Documents”) constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as set forth in Section 7(f), Section 9(c) and Section 9(d) with respect to the Persons referenced therein, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successor and assigns.

(j) Except as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective 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.

(k) In the event that any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Subscription Agreement, or the application thereof, is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Legal Requirement: (i) such provision will be fully severable; (ii) this Subscription Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof; (iii) the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom; and (iv) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Subscription Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

(l) Each party shall pay all of its own costs and expenses incurred in anticipation of, relating to and in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, whether or not such transactions are consummated.

(m) The decision of the Investor to purchase the Subscription Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement has been made by the Investor independently of any other investor and independently of any information, materials, statements opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of SPAC, Pagaya or any of their respective subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any other investor or by any agent or employee of any other investor, and neither the Investor nor any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other investor relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. No action taken by the Investor or any other investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investor and any other investor as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investor and any other investor are in any way acting in concert or as a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement. The Investor acknowledges that no other investor has acted as agent for the Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and no other investor will be acting as agent of the Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the Subscription Shares or enforcing its rights under this Subscription Agreement.

(n) This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by electronic mail, in .pdf or by DocuSign or similar electronic signature) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document.

(o) The parties hereto agree and acknowledge 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. The parties agree that each party shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof and immediate injunctive relief and other equitable relief to prevent breaches, or threatened breaches, of this Subscription Agreement, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without bond or other security being required, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each party hereby acknowledges and agrees that it may be difficult to prove damages with reasonable certainty, that it may be difficult to procure suitable substitute performance, and that injunctive relief and/or specific performance will not cause an undue hardship to the parties hereto. Each party hereby further acknowledges that the existence of any other remedy contemplated by this Subscription Agreement does not diminish the availability of specific performance of the obligations hereunder or any other injunctive relief. Each party hereby further agrees that in the event of any action by the other party for specific performance or injunctive relief, it will not assert that a remedy at law or other remedy would be adequate or that specific performance or injunctive relief in respect of such breach or violation should not be available on the grounds that money damages are adequate or any other grounds.

(p) This Subscription Agreement, and any claim or cause of action hereunder based upon, arising out of or related to this Subscription Agreement (whether based on law, in equity, in contract, in tort or any other theory) or the negotiation, execution, performance or enforcement of this Subscription Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof to the extent such principles would result in the laws of another jurisdiction being applicable.

(q) Each party irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, to the extent that the such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware), in each case in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware for such Person and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such manner of service of process. Each party waives, and shall not assert as a defense in any legal dispute, that: (i) such party is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason; (ii) such Legal Proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in such court; (iii) such party’s property is exempt or immune from execution; (iv) such Legal Proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum; or (v) the venue of such Legal Proceeding is improper. Each party hereby agrees not to commence or prosecute any such action, claim, cause of action or suit other than before one of the above-named courts, nor to make any motion or take any other action seeking or intending to cause the transfer or removal of any such action, claim, cause of action or suit to any court other than one of the above-named courts, whether on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise. Each party hereby consents to service of process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by Delaware law, and further consents to service of process by nationally recognized overnight courier service guaranteeing overnight delivery, or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 13. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 9(q), any party may commence any action, claim, cause of action or suit in a court other than the above-named courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by one of the above-named courts.

(r) TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY ANY APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENT THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTY AND ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY MAY DO SO ONLY IF HE, SHE OR IT IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS ASSERTED IN ANY LEGAL DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM RELATING THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NON-COMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

From and after the disclosure of the Disclosure Document, the Investor shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information received from SPAC, Pagaya or any of their officers, directors or employees. All press releases, marketing materials or other public communications or disclosures relating to the transactions contemplated hereby between Pagaya and the Investor, and the method of the release for publication thereof, shall be subject to the prior approval of (a) Pagaya, and (b) to the extent such press release or public communication or disclosure references the Investor or its affiliates or investment advisors by name, the Investor which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that neither Pagaya nor the Investor shall be required to obtain consent pursuant to this Section 11 to the extent any proposed release or statement is substantially equivalent to the information that has previously been made public without breach of the obligation under this Section 11. The restriction in this Section 11 shall not apply to the extent the public announcement or disclosure is required by applicable securities law (including in connection with the Registration Statement), any Governmental Entity or stock exchange rule; provided that in such an event, unless prohibited by law, rule or regulation, the disclosing party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other party in advance as to its form, content and timing.
