AGREEMENT

 

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

 

ARTICLE I
Class b cONVERSION; COVENANTS

 

Section 1.1            Conversion of Certain Founder Shares. Effective as of the consummation of the Domestication, and conditioned on the occurrence of the Closing in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, each Sponsor Party hereby consents to the automatic conversion of the number of Founder Shares set forth opposite its or his/her name on Schedule I hereto under the header “Founder Shares” into the number of shares of Series B-1 Common Stock set forth opposite its or his/her name on Schedule I hereto under the header “Series B-1 Common Stock”, in each case in lieu of the Automatic Conversion, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Side Letter (such automatic conversion, the “Class B Conversion”), which shares of Series B-1 Common Stock shall be subject to the provisions set forth in this Side Letter and the Buyer Certificate of Incorporation (all such Series B-1 Common Stock, the “Restricted Sponsor Shares”). After the Class B Conversion, each Sponsor Party shall own the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Series B-1 Common Stock set forth opposite its or his/her name on Schedule I hereto under the header “Class A Common Stock” and “Series B-1 Common Stock”, respectively.

 

Section 1.2            Dividend Payments. For so long as any Restricted Sponsor Share is outstanding, the payment of any dividend declared by the Board in respect of a share of Series B-1 Common Stock shall not be made by PubCo to any holder of Series B-1 Common Stock unless and until the occurrence of a B-1 Conversion Event (as defined in the Buyer Certificate of Incorporation), in accordance with the Buyer Certificate of Incorporation, with respect to such share of Series B-1 Common Stock. If any such Restricted Sponsor Share does not convert in accordance with the Buyer Certificate of Incorporation prior to such time as such Restricted Sponsor Share is canceled in accordance with Section 1.4 and the Buyer Certificate of Incorporation, no dividends previously declared shall be paid or payable to the holder of such Restricted Sponsor Share in respect of any such share of Series B-1 Common Stock and any right to such dividends shall be forfeited in all respects.

 

Section 1.3            Conversion of Restricted Sponsor Shares.

 

(a)            Each Restricted Sponsor Share will be held in accordance with this Side Letter unless and until a B-1 Conversion Event (as defined in the Buyer Certificate of Incorporation) occurs.

 

(b)            Upon the occurrence of a B-1 Conversion Event, each Restricted Sponsor shall automatically convert into a share of Class A Common Stock and the holder of such Restricted Sponsor Share shall be entitled to a Dividend Catch-Up Payment as provided in Section 4.3(D) of the Buyer Certificate of Incorporation.

 

Section 1.4            Cancellation of Restricted Sponsor Shares. To the extent that, on or before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Closing Date, a B-1 Conversion Event has not occurred in accordance with the Buyer Certificate of Incorporation, and as a result any Restricted Sponsor Share has not converted into a share of Class A Common Stock, then such Restricted Sponsor Shares shall automatically be forfeited to PubCo and canceled for no consideration therefor and shall cease to be outstanding and any dividend declared in respect of such Restricted Sponsor Shares and any Dividend Catch-Up Payment shall also be forfeited to PubCo for no consideration therefor, in accordance with Section 4.3(E) of the Buyer Certificate of Incorporation.

Section 1.5            Adjustments. In the event any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of shares of PubCo occurs with respect to any Founder Shares before the Closing, but excluding the Class B Conversion and the Automatic Conversion, (each, a “Pre-Closing Split”), then the number of Founder Shares that converts into Restricted Sponsor Shares shall be adjusted as a result of such Pre-Closing Split to provide the same economic effect as contemplated by this Side Letter prior to such Pre-Closing Split.

 

Section 1.6            Transfer Restrictions. Each Sponsor Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that, during the period between the execution of this Side Letter and the Closing, the Founder Shares shall remain subject to and bound by the provisions of, and may only be Transferred (as defined in the Lock-Up Agreement) in accordance with, Section 5 of that certain letter agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”), dated as of April 28, 2020, by and among PubCo and each of the Sponsor Parties, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
