Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

In connection with the proposed business combination transaction (the “Transaction”) between Industrial Tech Acquisitions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ITAC” or the “Company”), and ARBE Robotics Ltd., an Israeli corporation (“ARBE”), pursuant to that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of March 18, 2021 (as it may be amended, the “Transaction Agreement”), by and among, ITAC, ARBE and certain other parties named therein, ITAC is seeking commitments to purchase shares of ITAC’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Shares”) (or at ARBE’s sole election, ARBE Shares, as hereinafter described), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Purchase Price”), in a private placement to be conducted by ITAC (the “Offering”). Substantially concurrently with the execution of this subscription agreement (this “Subscription Agreement”), ITAC is entering into separate subscription agreements on substantially the same terms (the “Other Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (collectively, “Other Subscribers”) with an aggregate Purchase Price for all Common Shares and/or ARBE Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements of $100,000,000. In connection therewith, the undersigned subscriber (“Subscriber”), ITAC and ARBE agree as follows:

 

1. Subscription. As of the date written above (the “Subscription Date”), the Subscriber hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from ITAC, and ITAC agrees to issue and sell to the Subscriber, such number of Common Shares as is set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement (together with any equity securities of ARBE that may be issued in exchange therefor pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or the Transaction Agreement in connection with the Transaction, the “Shares”) at the Purchase Price per Share and on the terms provided for herein. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that ARBE shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to instead (and without duplication) issue and sell to the Subscriber, and cause the Subscriber to instead directly purchase from ARBE such number of ARBE’s ordinary shares with a nominal value of NIS 0.01 per share (“ARBE Shares”) as is set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement at the Closing (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall occur after giving effect to the Recapitalization (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) (the “Recapitalization”)) at the Purchase Price in lieu of the Common Shares from ITAC in accordance with this Subscription Agreement, and in such event ARBE will deliver the ARBE Shares directly to the Subscriber (the “Direct Purchase Election”). In the event of a Direct Purchase Election, any reference in this Subscription Agreement to the Shares or Common Shares will mean, to the extent reasonably applicable, the ARBE Shares that are directly being issued by ARBE in lieu of the Common Shares that were to have been issued by ITAC pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and then exchanged for ARBE Shares pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, and any and all undertakings, representations, warranties or covenants with respect to the Offering, as set forth hereunder by the Subscriber towards ITAC, shall be also be for the benefit of ARBE, and ARBE shall also have all of the rights, privileges and authorities of ITAC with respect thereto.

 

 

 

 

2. Closing; Issuance of Shares.

 

(a) The closing of the sale of Shares contemplated hereby (the “Closing”, and the date that the Closing actually occurs, the “Closing Date”) is contingent upon the conditions set forth herein. The Closing shall occur on the date of, and immediately prior to, the closing of the Transaction (the “Transaction Closing”), or if the Direct Purchase Election is exercised, simultaneously with the Transaction Closing (but for the avoidance of doubt, shall occur after giving effect to the Recapitalization).

 

(b) ITAC and ARBE shall provide written notice (which may be via email) to the Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”) that ITAC and ARBE reasonably expect the Transaction Closing to occur on a date specified in the notice (the “Scheduled Closing Date”) that is not less than five (5) business days from the date of the Closing Notice, which Closing Notice shall contain wire instructions for an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) established by ITAC and ARBE with a third party escrow agent, and in the event of a Direct Purchase Election, which will define ARBE as its beneficiary (the “Escrow Agent”) to be identified in the Closing Notice. At least two (2) business days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date (unless otherwise agreed to by ITAC), the Subscriber shall deliver to the Escrow Account the aggregate Purchase Price for the Shares subscribed (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”) by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds. The wire transfer shall identify the Subscriber, and unless otherwise agreed by ITAC the funds shall be wired from an account in the Subscriber’s name. Upon the Closing, ITAC shall provide instructions to the Escrow Agent to release the funds in the Escrow Account to ITAC (or in the event of a Direct Purchase Election, ARBE) against the issuance to the Subscriber of the Shares, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those arising under state or federal securities laws), in book-entry form as set forth in Section 2(c) below. If this Subscription Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing and any funds have already been sent by the Subscriber to the Escrow Account, then promptly after such termination, ITAC will instruct the Escrow Agent to promptly return such funds to the Subscriber. In the event that the consummation of the Transaction does not occur on the Scheduled Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice or within three (3) business days thereafter, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company and the Subscriber, the Company shall promptly cause the Escrow Agent (but in no event later than four (4) business days after the Scheduled Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice) return the Purchase Price so delivered by Subscriber to the Escrow Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified by Subscriber, and any book entries shall be deemed cancelled.

 

(c) On the Closing Date, or promptly after the Closing, ITAC or ARBE, as applicable, shall deliver (or cause the delivery of) the Shares (which, in the event of a Direct Purchase Election, shall for the avoidance of doubt, be the ARBE Shares) to Subscriber in book-entry form with restrictive legends for the number of Shares as set forth on the signature page to the Subscriber as indicated on the signature page or to a custodian designated by the Subscriber, as applicable, as indicated below; provided, that, if the Direct Purchase Election is not made, at the Transaction Closing, as contemplated by and in accordance with the terms set forth in the Transaction Agreement, each Share shall automatically be cancelled and convert into the right to receive one (1) ARBE Share for each Share owned by Subscriber immediately prior to the Transaction Closing. From and after the Transaction Closing, any ARBE Shares issued in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be held in book-entry form with restrictive legends.

 

(d) Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement, Subscriber is delivering to ITAC and ARBE a duly completed and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or appropriate Form W-8.

The Subscriber has conducted its own investigation of ITAC, ARBE and the Shares and the Subscriber has made its own assessment and have satisfied itself concerning the relevant tax and other economic considerations relevant to its investment in the Shares. The Subscriber further acknowledges that the information contained in the Disclosure Documents is subject to change, and that any changes to the information contained in the Disclosure Documents, including any changes based on updated information or changes in terms of the Transaction, shall in no way affect the Subscriber’s obligation to purchase the Shares hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein, and that, in purchasing the Shares, the Subscriber is not relying upon any projections contained in the investor presentation.

(f) The Subscriber acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Shares, including those set forth in the Disclosure Documents and in ITAC’s filings with the SEC. The Subscriber is able to fend for itself in the transactions contemplated herein and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, and the Subscriber has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Subscriber has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision.

 

(g) Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), the Subscriber has considered the risks of an investment in the Shares and determined that the Shares are a suitable investment for the Subscriber and that the Subscriber is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of the Subscriber’s investment in ITAC (and after the Transaction Closing, ARBE). The Subscriber acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

 

(h) In making its decision to purchase the Shares, the Subscriber has relied solely upon independent investigation made by the Subscriber, the Investor Presentation and the representations and warranties of ITAC and ARBE set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Subscriber has not relied on any statements or other information provided by any of the Placement Agents concerning ITAC, ARBE or the Shares or the offer and sale of the Shares.

The signature on this Subscription Agreement is genuine, and the signatory, if the Subscriber is an individual, has legal competence and capacity to execute the same or, if the Subscriber is not an individual the signatory has been duly authorized to execute the same, and this Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Subscriber, enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

 

12

 

 

(k) Neither the due diligence investigation conducted by the Subscriber in connection with making its decision to acquire the Shares nor any representations and warranties made by the Subscriber herein shall modify, amend or affect the Subscriber’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of ITAC’s or ARBE’s representations and warranties contained herein.

 

(l) The Subscriber is not a Prohibited Person. The Subscriber agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that the Subscriber is permitted to do so under applicable law. If the Subscriber is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), the Subscriber maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. To the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List.

The Subscriber has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The acquisition of Shares by the Subscriber will not subject ITAC or ARBE to any Disqualification Event.

 

(n) No disclosure or offering document has been prepared by any of the Placement Agent in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares. The Subscriber acknowledges that each Placement Agent and each of its members, directors, officers, employees, representatives and controlling persons have made no independent investigation with respect to ITAC, ARBE or the Shares or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of any information supplied to the Subscriber by ITAC or ARBE.

7. Registration Rights.

 

(a) From and after the Transaction Closing, ARBE agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days after the Transaction Closing, ARBE will file with the SEC (at ARBE’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the ARBE Shares either, if the Direct Purchase Election is made, issued at Closing or, if the Direct Purchase Election is not made, exchanged at the Transaction Closing for the Common Shares purchased by the Subscriber hereunder (the “Registration Statement”), and ARBE shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof (for the avoidance of doubt, not as a condition to Closing), but no later than the earlier of (i) the sixtieth (60th) calendar day (or ninetieth (90th) calendar day if the SEC notifies ABRE that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC and (ii) the tenth (10th) business day after the date ABRE is notified in writing by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. ABRE will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide a draft of the Registration Statement to the undersigned for review (but not comment) at least two (2) business days in advance of filing the Registration Statement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall ABRE be required to delay or postpone the filing of such Registration Statement as a result of or in connection with the undersigned’s review. In no event shall the Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless required by the SEC or otherwise agreed to by the Subscriber in writing; provided, that if the SEC requests that the Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Subscriber will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement. Any failure by ARBE to file or to effect the Registration Statement by the deadlines set out herein shall not otherwise relieve ARBE of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 7. ARBE shall, upon reasonable request, inform the Subscriber as to the status of the registration effected by ARBE pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

 

(b) ARBE agrees that ARBE will cause such Registration Statement or another registration statement (which may be a “shelf” registration statement, if applicable) which includes the Shares to remain effective until the earlier of (i) three years from the issuance of the Shares, (ii) the date on which the Subscriber ceases to hold the Shares covered by such Registration Statement, or (iii) on the first date on which the Subscriber can sell all of its Shares (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without limitation, including as to the manner of sale or the amount of such securities that may be sold and without the requirement for the ARBE to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable). The Subscriber agrees to disclose its beneficial ownership, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, of the Shares to ARBE (or its successor) upon request to assist ARBE in making the determination described above. For as long as the Subscriber holds Shares, ARBE 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 Shares pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act including furnishing to Subscriber so long as it owns Shares, promptly upon request, (x) a written statement by ARBE, if true, that it has complied in all material respects with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (y) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of ARBE and such other reports and documents so filed by ARBE (public availability on the SEC’s EDGAR system (or successor system) being sufficient) and (z) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit Subscriber to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration (in each case, when Rule 144 of the Securities Act becomes available to the Subscriber).

 

14

 

 

(c) ARBE’s obligations to include the Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Subscriber furnishing in writing to ARBE such information regarding the Subscriber, the securities of ARBE held by the Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Shares as shall be reasonably requested by ARBE to effect the registration of the Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as ARBE may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations; provided that the Subscriber shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Shares. With respect to any information to be provided by the Subscriber pursuant to this Section 7, ARBE shall request such information from the Subscriber at least five (5) business days prior to the anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents ARBE from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered for resale under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of ARBE’s securities by the applicable shareholders or otherwise, (i) such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of ARBE securities which is equal to the maximum number of ARBE securities as is permitted by the SEC and (ii) the number of ARBE securities to be registered for each selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders, and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, ARBE shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement to register such Shares not included in the initial Registration Statement and cause such amendment or Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable.

 

(d) ARBE may delay filing or suspend the use of any such registration statement if it determines, upon advice of external legal counsel, that (x) in order for the registration statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, or (y) such filing or use would materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of ARBE or would require premature disclosure of information that would materially adversely affect ARBE (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, that ARBE shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such registration statement available for the sale by the Subscriber of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter and ARBE may not delay or suspend any such registration statement on more than two occasions or for more than 60 consecutive calendar days, or more than 100 total calendar days in any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from ARBE of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, the Subscriber agrees that it will (i) immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until the Subscriber receives (A) (x) copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above, which ARBE agrees to promptly prepare and file and (y) notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or (B) notice from ARBE that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by ARBE unless otherwise required by applicable law. If so directed by ARBE, the Subscriber will deliver to ARBE or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares in the Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares shall not apply to (i) the extent the Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (A) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (B) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. The Subscriber may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to ARBE requesting that Subscriber not receive notices from ARBE otherwise required by this Section 7; provided, however, that Subscriber may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from Subscriber (unless subsequently revoked), (i) ARBE shall not deliver any such notices to Subscriber and Subscriber shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to Subscriber’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, Subscriber will notify ARBE in writing at least three (3) 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(d)) and the related suspension period remains in effect, ARBE will so notify Subscriber, within two (2) business days of Subscriber’s notification to ARBE, by delivering to Subscriber a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide Subscriber with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event promptly following its availability.

 

15

 

 

(e) In the case of the registration, qualification, exemption or compliance effected by ABRE pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, ABRE shall, upon reasonable request, inform the Subscriber as to the status of such registration, qualification, exemption and compliance. At its expense, ABRE shall: (i) except for such times as ABRE 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 ABRE determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to the Subscriber, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions; (ii) advise Subscriber within five (5) business days (A) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose, (B) of the receipt by ABRE of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (C) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus included therein so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, ABRE shall not, when so advising the Subscriber of such events listed above, provide the Subscriber with any material, nonpublic information regarding ABRE other than to the extent that providing notice to Subscriber of the occurrence of the events listed in (A) through (C) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding ABRE); (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable; and (iv) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated above, except for such times as ABRE is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, ABRE 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 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

(f) During any periods that a Registration Statement registering the resale of the Shares is effective or when the Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, ABRE shall, at its expense, cause ABRE’s transfer agent to remove any restrictive legends on any Shares sold by the Subscriber within three (3) business days following the date that such Shares are sold and the Subscriber notifies ABRE of such sale (and prior to removal the Subscriber provides ABRE with any customary representations in connection therewith).

 

16

 

 

(g) ARBE shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Subscriber (to the extent a seller under such registration statement), the officers, directors and agents of the Subscriber, and each person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Subscriber to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any registration statement including any of the Shares, any prospectus included in such registration statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by ARBE of the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 7, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding the Subscriber furnished in writing to ARBE by the Subscriber expressly for use therein or the Subscriber has omitted a material fact from such information or otherwise violated the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of ARBE (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall ARBE be liable for any Losses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon a violation which occurs (A) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by Subscriber, (B) in connection with any failure of such person to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made available by ARBE in a timely manner, (C) as a result of offers or sales effected by or on behalf of any person by means of a freewriting prospectus (as defined in Rule 405) that was not authorized in writing by ARBE, or (D) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of Subscriber in violation of Section 7(d) hereof. The Company shall notify the Subscriber promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 7 of which ARBE is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Shares by the Subscriber.

 

(h) The Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly with any other selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement, indemnify and hold harmless ARBE, its directors, officers, agents and employees, and each person who controls ARBE (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding the Subscriber furnished in writing to ARBE by the Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In no event shall the liability of any Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Subscriber upon the sale of the Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The Subscriber shall notify ARBE promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 7 of which the Subscriber is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Shares by the Subscriber.

 

17

 

 

(i) If the indemnification provided under this Section 7 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 7 and deemed to include any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 7(i) from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Each indemnifying party’s obligation to make a contribution pursuant to this Section 7(i) shall be individual, not joint, and in no event shall the liability of the Subscriber under this Section 7(i) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Subscriber upon the sale of the Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

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 earlier to occur of: (a) the mutual written agreement of ITAC, the Subscriber and ARBE to terminate this Subscription Agreement; (b) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; or (c) written notice by either (x) ITAC and ARBE to the Subscriber or (y) the Subscriber to ITAC and ARBE to terminate this Subscription Agreement if the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated on or prior to the Outside Date (as defined in the Transaction Agreement); provided that (i) 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 such breach, and (ii) the provisions of Sections 8 through 12 of this Subscription Agreement will survive any termination of this Subscription Agreement and continue indefinitely. ITAC shall notify the Subscriber of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination thereof. Upon occurrence of any termination prior to the Closing in accordance with this Section 8, any monies paid by the Subscriber to ITAC or ARBE in connection herewith shall promptly be returned to the Subscriber.

9. Trust Account Waiver. The Subscriber hereby represents and warrants that it has read the Prospectus and understands that ITAC has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of the IPO and the overallotment securities acquired by its underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of ITAC’s public stockholders (including overallotment shares acquired by ITAC’s underwriters, the “Public Stockholders”), and that, except as otherwise described in the Prospectus, ITAC may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Stockholders in the event they elect to redeem their ITAC shares in connection with the consummation of ITAC’s initial business combination (as such term is used in the Prospectus) (the “Business Combination”) or in connection with an extension of its deadline to consummate a Business Combination, (b) to the Public Stockholders if ITAC fails to consummate a Business Combination within fifteen (15) months after the closing of the IPO (or up to twenty-one (21) months from the closing of the IPO if ITAC in accordance with the requirements of the Prospectus extends its deadline to consummate a Business Combination), subject to extension by amendment to ITAC’s organizational documents, (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, as necessary to pay for any franchise or income taxes (and up to $50,000 in dissolution expenses), or (d) to ITAC after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of ITAC entering into this Subscription Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Subscriber hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its affiliates that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, neither the Subscriber nor any of its affiliates do now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom directly or indirectly to Public Stockholders (“Public Distributions”), or make any claim against the Trust Account or Public Distributions, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Subscription Agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively, the “Released Claims”). The Subscriber on behalf of itself and its affiliates hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that the Subscriber or any of its affiliates may have against the Trust Account or Public Distributions now or in the future and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account or Public Distributions for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of this Subscription Agreement). The Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Subscription Agreement and specifically relied upon by ITAC and its affiliates to induce ITAC to enter in this Subscription Agreement, and the Subscriber further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against the Subscriber and each of its affiliates under applicable law. To the extent the Subscriber or any of its affiliates commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any Released Claims, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against ITAC or its Representatives, the Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Subscriber’s and its affiliates’ sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit the Subscriber or its affiliates (or any person claiming on any of their behalf or in lieu of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account or Public Distributions or any amounts contained therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9, shall not (x) serve to limit or prohibit the Subscriber’s right to pursue a claim against ITAC or ARBE for legal relief against assets held outside the Trust Account (other than Public Distributions), for specific performance or other equitable relief, (y) serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Subscriber may have in the future against ITAC’s or ARBE’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds), excluding Public Distributions, or (z) affect any rights of Subscriber or its affiliates as a Public Stockholder to receive distributions from the Trust Account in its capacity as a Public Stockholder. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Representatives” with respect to any person shall mean such person’s affiliates and its and its affiliate’s respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, advisors, agents and other representatives.

 

10. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Subscriber hereunder (other than the Shares acquired hereunder, if any, and the Subscriber’s rights under Section 7) may without the prior written consent of ITAC and ARBE be transferred or assigned by the Subscriber other than an assignment to any fund or account managed by the same investment manager as the Subscriber or an affiliate thereof, subject to, if such transfer or assignment is prior to the Closing, such transferee or assignee, as applicable, executing a joinder to this Subscription Agreement, and any purported transfer or assignment without such consent shall be null and void ab initio. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights or obligations of ITAC or ARBE hereunder may be transferred or assigned by such party without the prior written consent of the Subscriber and any purported transfer or assignment without such consent shall be null and void ab initio.

 

19

 

 

(b) Each of ITAC and ARBE may request from the Subscriber such additional information as ITAC or ARBE may reasonably deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of the Subscriber to acquire the Shares, and the Subscriber shall provide such information to ITAC or ARBE as may be reasonably requested to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with its internal policies and procedures. Each of ITAC and ARBE agrees to keep any such information provided by Subscriber confidential, except as may be required by applicable law, rule, regulation or in connection with any legal proceeding or regulatory request.

 

(c) The Subscriber acknowledges that ITAC, ARBE and each of the Placement Agents will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement as if they were made directly to them. Prior to the Closing, the Subscriber agrees to promptly notify ITAC and ARBE if any of the representations and warranties set forth herein are no longer accurate in any material respect. The Subscriber agrees that the purchase by the Subscriber of Shares from ITAC or from ARBE, as may be applicable, will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein (as modified by any such notice) by the Subscriber as of the time of such purchase. ITAC acknowledges that Subscriber and each of the Placement Agents will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of ITAC contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, ITAC agrees to promptly notify Subscriber if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties set forth herein are no longer accurate in any material respect. ARBE acknowledges that Subscriber and each of the Placement Agents will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of ARBE contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, ARBE agrees to promptly notify Subscriber if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties set forth herein are no longer accurate in any material respect. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that each of the Placement Agents is a third-party beneficiary of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Subscriber contained in Section 6 of this Subscription Agreement. Each of ITAC and ARBE acknowledges and agrees that each of the Placement Agents is a third-party beneficiary of the representations, warranties and covenants of ITAC and ARBE contained in Sections 4 and 5, respectively, of this Subscription Agreement in performing their respective services to ITAC in connection with the sale of the Shares. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successor and permitted assigns.

 

(d) Each of ITAC, ARBE and the Placement Agents is entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby to the extent required by applicable law, regulatory body or stock exchange requirement. The Subscriber shall not issue any press release or make any other similar public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of ITAC and ARBE (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

(e) All the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.

 

(f) This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified or terminated (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 8) except by an instrument in writing, signed by ITAC, ARBE and the Subscriber. This Subscription Agreement may not be waived except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. No failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder.

 

20

 

 

(g) This Subscription Agreement, together with the Transaction Agreement and the documents referred to therein (in each case, solely to the extent expressly referred to or incorporated herein) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof (other than any confidentiality agreement entered into by ITAC or ARBE and the Subscriber in connection with the Offering).

 

(h) This Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

 

(i) If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

 

(j) This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

(k) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage may 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. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Subscription Agreement and seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement, without the necessity of proving actual damages or that money damages would be insufficient and without the necessity of posting bond or other security, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.

 

(l) Subscriber shall pay all of its own expenses in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein. The Subscriber shall not be responsible for any expenses of ITAC or ARBE in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein.

From and after the publication of the 8-K, the Subscriber shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information received from ITAC, ARBE or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and the Transactions, and Subscriber shall no longer be subject to any confidentiality or similar obligations under any current agreement, whether written or oral with ITAC, ARBE, the Placement Agents, or any of their affiliates in connection with the Transactions.

Subscriber will promptly provide any information reasonably requested by ARBE or ITAC for any regulatory application or filing made or approval sought in connection with the Transaction (including filings with the SEC). Notwithstanding anything in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, ARBE and ITAC shall not, without the prior written consent of the Subscriber, publicly disclose the name of Subscriber or any of its affiliates, or include the name of the Subscriber or any of its affiliates (i) in any other press release or marketing materials or (ii) in any filings with the SEC or any regulatory agency or trading market except (A) required by the federal securities law in connection with the Registration Statement, and (B), to the extent such disclosure is required by law, at the request of the staff of the SEC or regulatory agency or under the regulations of Nasdaq or by any other governmental authority (the foregoing, “Legal Requirement”), in which case ARBE or ITAC, as applicable, shall, to the extent permitted by Legal Requirement provide Subscriber with prior written notice of such disclosure permitted under this subclause (B).

 

(n) This Subscription Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles relating to conflict of laws. Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts seated in New York County, New York (and any appellate courts thereof) in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such courts, (b) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court, (c) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court, and (d) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each party agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each party irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other Proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such party at the applicable address set forth in Section 10(o). Nothing in this Section 10(n) shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

Notice to the Subscriber shall be given to the address underneath the Subscriber’s name on the signature page hereto.

 

(p) The headings set forth in this Subscription Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be used in interpreting this Subscription Agreement. In this Subscription Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (i) whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Subscription Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa; (ii) “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting the generality of any description preceding or succeeding such term and shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”; and (iii) the words “herein”, “hereto” and “hereby” and other words of similar import in this Subscription Agreement shall be deemed in each case to refer to this Subscription Agreement as a whole and not to any particular portion of this Subscription Agreement. As used in this Subscription Agreement, the term: (x) “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday on which commercial banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized to close for business (excluding as a result of “stay at home”, “shelter-in-place”, “non-essential employee” or any other similar orders or restrictions or the closure of any physical branch locations at the direction of any governmental authority so long as the electronic funds transfer systems, including for wire transfers, of commercially banking institutions in New York, New York are generally open for use by customers on such day); (y) “person” shall refer to any individual, corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company or other entity or association, including any governmental or regulatory body, whether acting in an individual, fiduciary or any other capacity; and (z) “affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any specified person, any other person or group of persons acting together that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such specified person (where the term “control” (and any correlative terms) means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise).

(q) At Closing, the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional actions as the parties may reasonably deem practical and necessary in order to consummate the Offering as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, including an executed copy of the Investor Representation Letter to Wells Fargo in the form set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto (or, where Epsilon or Poalim are acting as placement agent with respect to such Offer, in the form set forth in Exhibit C).

 

11. Non-Reliance and Exculpation. The Subscriber acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person other than the statements, representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement in making its investment or decision to invest in ITAC. The Subscriber agrees that neither (i) any Other Subscriber pursuant to other Subscription Agreements (including the controlling persons, members, officers, directors, partners, agents, or employees of any such Other Subscriber) nor (ii) any of the Placement Agents, their respective affiliates or any of their or their affiliates’ respective control persons, officers, directors or employees, shall be liable to the Subscriber (including in contract, tort, under federal or state securities laws or otherwise) for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with this Subscription Agreement or the Offering. The Subscriber acknowledges that none of the Placement Agents, nor any of their respective Representatives (a) shall be liable to the Subscriber for any improper payment made in accordance with the information provided by ITAC; (b) make any representation or warranty, or has any responsibilities as to the validity, accuracy, value or genuineness of any information, certificates or documentation delivered by or on behalf of ITAC or ARBE pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or the Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction Documents”); or (c) shall be liable to the Subscriber (x) for any action taken, suffered or omitted by any of them in good faith and reasonably believed to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Subscription Agreement or any Transaction Document or (y) for anything which any of them may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Subscription Agreement or any Transaction Document, except in each case for their gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

 

12. Independent Obligations. The obligations of the Subscriber under this Subscription Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other Subscriber under the Other Subscription Agreements, and Subscriber shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Subscriber under the Other Subscription Agreements. The decision of Subscriber to purchase Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement has been made by the Subscriber independently of any Other Subscriber and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of ITAC or any of its subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any Other Subscriber or by any agent or employee of any Other Subscriber, and neither the Subscriber nor any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Other Subscriber (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Other Subscription Agreement, and no action taken by the Subscriber or any Other Subscribers pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Subscriber and Other Subscribers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Subscriber and Other Subscribers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements. The Subscriber acknowledges that no Other Subscriber has acted as agent for the Subscriber in connection with making its investment hereunder and no Other Subscriber will be acting as agent of the Subscriber. The obligations of ARBE and ITAC under this Subscription Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other party, and neither party shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other party under this Subscription Agreement.

For the purposes of calculating joint net worth with the person’s spouse or spousal equivalent, joint net worth can be the aggregate net worth of the Subscriber and spouse or spousal equivalent; assets need not be held jointly to be included in the calculation.

In determining individual “income,” the Subscriber should add to the Subscriber’s individual taxable adjusted gross income (exclusive of any spousal or spousal equivalent income) any amounts attributable to tax exempt income received, losses claimed as a limited partner in any limited partnership, deductions claimed for depletion, contributions to an IRA or Keogh retirement plan, alimony payments, and any amount by which income from long-term capital gains has been reduced in arriving at adjusted gross income.
