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

Section 1. Subscription and Subscription Funding. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Subscriber hereby irrevocably agrees to subscribe for and purchase from Pubco, and Pubco hereby agrees to issue to Subscriber on the Completion Date, upon release of the Custody XRP (as defined below) from the XRP Custody Wallet (as defined below) as prior payment or contribution of the Subscription Price (as defined below) by or on behalf of Subscriber to Pubco, the Subscribed Shares at the Transaction Closing (such subscription, the “Subscription”).

(a) Upon execution of this Subscription Agreement, Subscriber shall become obligated to pay or cause to be paid the Subscription Price to Pubco in accordance with Section 1(b) and Section 1(c) below (the “Subscription Funding”), and Pubco shall become obligated to issue the Subscribed Shares to Subscriber at the Transaction Closing.

(b) The Subscription Price shall be paid in either cash or XRP, at the Subscriber’s sole election, in such amounts as indicated in Subscriber’s signature page of this Subscription Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Initial Subscribed Shares” means such number of Shares equal to the quotient of (i) the Subscription Price and (ii) the Per Share Price.

(ii) “Signing Date XRP Token VWAP” means the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of XRP denominated in USD as quoted on the “CME CF XRP-Dollar Reference Rate - New York Variant” benchmark (with the reference ticker XRPUSD_NY) at 4:00 p.m. New York City time on the day immediately preceding the date on which the BCA is signed (such signing date, the “BCA Signing Date”).

(iii) “Subscribed Shares” means such number of Shares equal to (i) the Initial Subscribed Shares plus (ii) any Adjustment Shares (as defined below) issuable to the Subscriber in accordance with Section 3 hereof.

(iv) “Subscription Price” means (A) if Subscriber elects to subscribe for the Shares with cash, the amount of cash as is set forth on the signature page hereto or (B) if Subscriber elects to subscribe for the Shares with XRP, such amount (in USD) equal to the product of (x) the amount of XRP as is set forth on the signature page hereto (the “XRP Amount”) and (y) the Signing Date XRP Token VWAP.

(i) if Subscriber is delivering the Subscription Price in cash, an amount equal to the total Subscription Price, in such amount as indicated in Subscriber’s signature page to this Subscription Agreement (the “Transferred Funds”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to the bank account specified on Annex A hereto (the “Cash Custody Account”) maintained pursuant to an account arrangement between Pubco and Silicon Valley Bank (“Cash Custodian”); and

(ii) if Subscriber is delivering the Subscription Price in XRP, the XRP Amount, free and clear of any liens, encumbrances or other restrictions, via transfer of the XRP Amount to an unencumbered XRP custody wallet maintained by BitGo Trust Company, Inc. (the “XRP Custodian”) or one of its affiliates at the address specified in Annex B hereto (the “XRP Custody Wallet”).

For the purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Business Day” means a day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York City (New York) are not open for a full business day for the general transaction of business.

(d) On or following the date of this Agreement, Subscriber shall deliver to Pubco:

(i) a duly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or appropriate Form W-8; and

(ii) such information as is reasonably requested by Pubco in order for Pubco to issue the Subscribed Shares to Subscriber.

(e) On or prior to the date hereof, Pubco and/or the Company shall enter into agreements with the Cash Custodian and the XRP Custodian or, in each case, agreements with one of their respective affiliates or other third-party liquidity providers and prime brokers (the “Liquidity Providers”) as necessary, for providing for the custody and purchase of XRP. Within ten (10) Business Days of the date hereof (the “Funding Period”), Pubco will instruct, on behalf of the Advance Funding Subscribers, the Cash Custodian to transfer all of the Transferred Funds (and any interest accrued thereon) from the Cash Custody Account to the XRP Custodian, to be held in escrow for the benefit of the Advance Funding Subscribers through the Completion Date (the “XRP Funds”). For the avoidance of doubt, Pubco may instruct, on behalf of the Advance Funding Subscribers, such Transferred Funds (and any interest accrued thereon) to be transferred to the XRP Custodian or any such Liquidity Provider immediately upon receipt of any amount of such funds from Subscribers at any time during the Funding Period. Promptly upon receipt of any amount of such XRP Funds and within the Funding Period, Pubco and/or the Company shall instruct, on behalf of the Advance Funding Subscribers, the XRP Custodian or the Liquidity Providers as the case may require, to use the XRP Funds to purchase XRP on behalf of the Advance Funding Subscribers (the “Purchased XRP”, together with the aggregate XRP Amount paid by all Subscribers subscribing in XRP, the “Custody XRP”) at the then-prevailing spot market price of XRP at the time of execution of the trade(s), which shall be disclosed to Pubco in advance. The Custody XRP shall be held in escrow in the XRP Custody Wallet in the name of Pubco but for the benefit of the Advance Funding Subscribers, for which the XRP Custodian or one of its affiliates serves as the XRP Custodian. Pubco and/or the Company shall cause the XRP Custodian and the Liquidity Providers to provide prompt written confirmation to Pubco and/or the Company upon completion of all XRP purchases, including details of the amount of the Purchased XRP, the execution price(s), and any fees incurred. Pubco shall notify Subscriber of the VWAP of all Purchased XRP as promptly as reasonably practicable following execution of the applicable trades.

(f) The obligations of Subscriber to consummate, or cause to be consummated, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement (including the Subscription Funding) are subject to the satisfaction or waiver by Subscriber of the additional condition that, on the date hereof, no Other Advance Funding Subscription Agreement (or other agreements or understandings (including side letters) entered into in connection therewith or in connection with the sale of the Other Advance Funding Subscribed Shares) shall have been amended, modified or waived in any manner that benefits any Other Advance Funding Subscriber unless the Subscriber shall have been offered in writing the same benefits (other than terms particular to the legal or regulatory requirements of such Other Advance Funding Subscriber or its affiliates or related persons).

Section 2. Transaction Closing and Release of Custody XRP.

(a) If the Transaction Closing occurs then, on the Completion Date, (i) Pubco shall deliver a written instruction to the XRP Custodian noting the requirement for the release of the Custody XRP and shall provide the XRP Custodian with the names of the Authorized Persons; (ii) upon receipt by the XRP Custodian of the required authorization by the Authorized Persons, the Custody XRP will be released from the XRP Custody Wallet and transferred to a digital asset wallet account designated in writing by Pubco; and (iii) upon such release of Custody XRP, Pubco shall deliver to Subscriber the Subscribed Shares in book-entry form, free and clear of any liens, encumbrances or other restrictions (other than those arising under state or federal securities laws), in the name of Subscriber. As promptly as practicable after the closing of the Transactions (the “Transaction Closing”), Pubco shall deliver to each Subscriber evidence from Pubco’s transfer agent of the issuance to Subscriber of the Subscribed Shares (in book entry form) on and as of the Completion Date.

(b) No fractional Shares will be issued. In determining such number of Subscribed Shares to be issued, such number shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share in the case of any resulting fractional number of Shares.

“THIS SECURITY HAS BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND WITHOUT A VIEW TO DISTRIBUTION AND HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THIS SECURITY OR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION THEREIN MAY BE MADE EXCEPT (A) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (B) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND, IN THE CASE OF CLAUSE (B), UNLESS THE ISSUER RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. IN ADDITION, ANY SUCH TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS CONTAINED IN AN ADVANCE FUNDING SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT, DATED [•], 2025. A COPY OF SUCH CONDITIONS WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON REQUEST.”

(d) In the event that the Transaction Closing does not occur on or prior to the Outside Date (as defined in the BCA), unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Pubco, the Company, SPAC and Subscriber, Pubco (or Pubco’s designee) shall promptly (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the Outside Date) cause to be returned Subscriber’s pro rata portion (taking into account the Subscription Price paid by Subscriber and the corresponding subscription price paid by all Other Advance Funding Subscribers, the Ripple Party Subscribers and the Series C Subscriber) of (i) the Custody XRP (the “Liquidation XRP Portion”) and (ii) any Transferred Funds in the Cash Custody Account to Subscriber. Subscriber shall have the option to elect to receive the Liquidation XRP Portion either in cash or in XRP. To the extent Subscriber elects to receive the Liquidation XRP Portion in cash, Pubco, acting as agent of the Subscriber, will sell (or cause to be sold) Subscriber’s Liquidation XRP Portion at then-prevailing market prices and remit (i) the proceeds of such sale and (ii) any Transferred Funds in the Cash Custody Account to Subscriber by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified by Subscriber. To the extent Subscriber elects to receive the Liquidation XRP Portion in XRP, Pubco will cause to be delivered Subscriber’s Liquidation XRP Portion to Subscriber at the wallet address specified by Subscriber in the signature page hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties intend that the cash held in the Cash Custody Account (to the extent such Advance Funding Subscribers, Ripple Party Subscribers or Series C Subscriber fund their subscriptions in cash) and all XRP held in the XRP Custody Wallet be beneficially owned by the Advance Funding Subscribers, the Ripple Party Subscribers and the Series C Subscriber until such time as any such XRP is released to Pubco upon the Transaction Closing or returned to the Advance Funding Subscribers, the Ripple Party Subscribers and the Series C Subscriber.

(e) Subject to Section 2(d):

(i) until the Completion Date, the Company and Pubco covenant that the Custody XRP shall not be sold, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise used as collateral to secure any indebtedness or obligation, and shall remain free and clear of all liens, charges, and encumbrances; and

(ii) the Custody XRP may not be released from the XRP Custody Wallet until (i) the earlier of either the (A) Completion Date or (B) termination of the BCA in accordance with its terms and (ii) such release has been authorized by the Authorized Persons (as defined below) designated by Pubco and SPAC to the XRP Custodian.

(f) The Company and SPAC must jointly authorize the release of the Custody XRP from the XRP Custody Wallet in accordance with this Section 2(f) through any of their respective authorized representatives (such representatives, the “Authorized Persons”). Any individual designated as an Authorized Person who is convicted of, or admits to, a “bad actor” disqualifying event described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i)-(viii) of the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”) shall be automatically removed and shall no longer serve as an Authorized Person. Upon becoming aware of any Disqualification Event affecting one its Authorized Persons, the applicable party shall promptly deliver written notice to the other party and to the XRP Custodian, which notice shall identify the Authorized Person to be removed and the name and contact information of the replacement Authorized Person.

(g) Pubco, the Company, SPAC and Subscriber acknowledge and agree that, for U.S. federal and applicable state, local and non-U.S. income tax purposes: (i)(A) the Subscription (in the event Subscriber’s Liquidation XRP Portion is not returned pursuant to Section 2(d) and Subscriber participates in the Transaction Closing), (B) any other subscriptions of Shares effected pursuant to the Advance Funding Subscription Agreements, the Delayed Funding Subscription Agreements, the Ripple Party Subscription Agreements and the Series C Subscription Agreement and (C) the Mergers, taken together, are undertaken pursuant to an integrated plan and constitute a single, integrated transaction among the parties and are intended to be treated for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes as exchanges to which Section 351(a) (and, as applicable, Section 351(b) or Section 357(c) of the Code) apply; (ii) the Subscriber is intended to be treated as the owner of Subscriber’s portion of any cash in the Cash Custody Account and/or Custody XRP in the Custody XRP Wallet until the occurrence of either (A) the Transaction Closing (in which case such portion is intended to be treated at such time as transferred from the Subscriber to Pubco, with the Subscription being treated as set forth in Section 2(g)(i)(A)) or (B) the return to the Subscriber of the Liquidation XRP Portion (in which case Subscriber is intended to be treated as continuing to own such portion); and (iii) any income (or gain or loss) with respect to or resulting from the cash or XRP (or conversion of XRP into cash) treated as owned by the Subscriber pursuant to the foregoing clause (ii) shall be allocated (and reported to), and taken into account by, the Subscriber (clauses (i)-(iii), the “Intended Tax Treatment”). Pubco, the Company, SPAC and Subscriber agree to file, or cause to be filed, all income and withholding tax returns in a manner consistent with, and not to take any income or withholding tax position that is inconsistent with, the Intended Tax Treatment unless required by a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

Section 3. Closing Adjustment. Immediately prior to the Transaction Closing, for purposes of determining the number of Subscribed Shares, Pubco shall calculate the number of Adjustment Shares issuable to the Subscriber. For purposes of this Agreement, if the Closing Date XRP Token VWAP (as defined below) is greater than the Signing Date XRP Token VWAP, “Adjustment Shares” shall mean such number of Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Initial Subscribed Shares issuable to such Subscriber and (ii) the difference between (1) the quotient of the Closing Date XRP Token VWAP and the Signing Date XRP Token VWAP and (2) one. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Closing Date XRP Token VWAP is less than or equal to the Signing Date XRP Token VWAP, the number of Adjustment Shares shall equal zero. For purposes of this Agreement, “Closing Date XRP Token VWAP” means the value of XRP denominated in USD as calculated using the “CME CF XRP-Dollar Reference Rate - New York Variant” benchmark (with the reference ticker XRPUSD_NY) by taking the arithmetic average of the quotes at 4:00 p.m. New York City time for each of the three days immediately preceding the Completion Date. For the avoidance of doubt, no fractional Adjustment Shares shall be issued, and any fractional Adjustment Share otherwise issuable shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

Section 4. SPAC and Pubco Representations and Warranties. Each of SPAC, solely with respect to the representations and warranties set forth below relating to SPAC, and Pubco, solely with respect to the representations and warranties set forth below relating to Pubco, represents and warrants to Subscriber as of the date hereof, that:

For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, a “SPAC Material Adverse Effect” means an event, change, development, occurrence, condition or effect with respect to SPAC that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on SPAC’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, a “Pubco Material Adverse Effect” means an event, change, development, occurrence, condition or effect with respect to Pubco that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Pubco’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

(c) The issuance and sale of the Subscribed Shares, when issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (subject to the receipt of the Subscription Price in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement and registration with Pubco’s transfer agent), will have been duly authorized by Pubco and, when issued and delivered to Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with the Subscriber’s delivery instructions), will be validly issued, fully paid and free and clear of all liens or other restrictions (other than those arising under this Subscription Agreement or the BCA, Pubco’s amended and restated articles of incorporation, bylaws or other similar organizational documents (the “Pubco Organizational Documents”) or applicable securities laws), and will not have been issued in violation of, or subject to, any preemptive or similar rights created under the Pubco Organizational Documents (as in effect at such time of issuance) or under Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.

(d) This Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by SPAC and Pubco, and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the same by the Company and Subscriber, this Subscription Agreement shall constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of SPAC and Pubco, enforceable against each of SPAC and Pubco in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors generally and by the availability of equitable remedies (collectively, the “Enforceability Exceptions”).

(e) Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Subscriber set forth in Section 5, the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement by SPAC, the compliance by SPAC with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement applicable to SPAC and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of SPAC pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which SPAC is a party or by which SPAC is bound or to which any of the property or assets of SPAC is subject, (ii) conflict with or violate any provision of, or result in the breach of, SPAC’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “SPAC Organizational Documents”), or (iii) conflict with or result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental authority with competent jurisdiction over SPAC or any of its properties except, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), for such violations, conflicts, breaches, defaults or liens, charges or encumbrances which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a SPAC Material Adverse Effect.

(f) Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Subscriber set forth in Section 5, the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement, the issuance of the Subscribed Shares hereunder, the compliance by Pubco with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement applicable to Pubco and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of Pubco pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which Pubco is a party or by which Pubco is bound or to which any of the property or assets of Pubco is subject, (ii) conflict with or violate any provision of, or result in the breach of, the Pubco Organizational Documents, or (iii) conflict with or result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental authority with competent jurisdiction over Pubco or any of its properties except, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), for such violations, conflicts, breaches, defaults or liens, charges or encumbrances which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Pubco Material Adverse Effect.

(g) Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Subscriber set forth in Section 5, neither SPAC nor Pubco is required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental authority with competent jurisdiction, self-regulatory organization (including any stock exchange on which the Pubco Class A Common Stock will be listed (the “Stock Exchange”)) or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription Agreement, other than (i) filings required by applicable state securities laws, (ii) the filing of the Registration Statement (as defined below) pursuant to Section 6, (iii) filings required by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), including the registration statement on Form S-4 with

respect to the Transactions and the proxy statement/prospectus included therein, (iv) filings required by the Stock Exchange, including with respect to obtaining SPAC shareholder approval of the Transactions and the listing of Pubco Class A Common Stock, (v) filings required to consummate the Transactions as provided under the BCA, (vi) filings in connection with or as a result of any publicly available written guidance, comments, requirements or requests of the SEC staff under the Securities Act (the “SEC Guidance”), (vii) filings in connection with the SPAC Domestication, and (viii) those the failure of which to obtain would not reasonably be expected to have a SPAC Material Adverse Effect or a Pubco Material Adverse Effect, as applicable.

(h) Except for such matters as have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Pubco Material Adverse Effect, there is no (i) suit, action, proceeding or arbitration before a governmental authority or arbitrator with competent jurisdiction pending, or, to the knowledge of Pubco, threatened in writing against Pubco or (ii) judgment, decree, injunction, ruling or order of any governmental authority or arbitrator with competent jurisdiction outstanding against Pubco.

(i) Assuming the accuracy of Subscriber’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 5, no registration under the Securities Act or any state securities (or Blue Sky) laws is required for the offer and sale of the Subscribed Shares by Pubco to Subscriber.

(j) Neither Pubco nor any person acting on its behalf has engaged or will engage in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with any offer or sale of the Subscribed Shares. The Subscribed Shares are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act or any state securities laws. Neither Pubco nor any person acting on its behalf (other than the Company and other than the Placement Agent (as defined below) and its respective persons acting on its behalf in such capacity, as to whom neither SPAC nor Pubco make any representations) has, directly or indirectly, at any time within the past thirty (30) calendar days, (i) made any offer or sale of any security or solicitation of any offer to buy any security under circumstances that would eliminate the availability of the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act in connection with the offer and sale by Pubco of the Subscribed Shares as contemplated hereby or the Other Advance Funding Subscribed Shares as contemplated by the Other Advance Funding Subscription Agreements, or (ii) offered or sold any securities that would reasonably be expected to subject the offer, issuance or sale of the Subscribed Shares or the Other Advance Funding Subscribed Shares, as contemplated hereby, to the registration provisions of the Securities Act.

(k) SPAC is in compliance in all material respects with, and has not received any written communication from, a governmental authority with competent jurisdiction that alleges that SPAC is not in compliance in all material respects with, or is in default or violation of, the applicable provisions of (i) the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) the rules and regulations of the Commission, and (iii) the rules of the Stock Exchange, except, in each case, where such non-compliance, default, or violation would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a SPAC Material Adverse Effect. For the avoidance of doubt, this representation and warranty shall not apply to the extent any of the foregoing matters arise from or relate to the SEC Guidance.

(l) Pubco is in compliance in all material respects with, and has not received any written communication from, a governmental authority with competent jurisdiction that alleges that Pubco is not in compliance in all material respects with, or is in default or violation of, the applicable provisions of (i) the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) the rules and regulations of the Commission, and (iii) the rules of the Stock Exchange, except, in each case, where such non-compliance, default, or violation would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Pubco Material Adverse Effect. For the avoidance of doubt, this representation and warranty shall not apply to the extent any of the foregoing matters arise from or relate to the SEC Guidance.

(m) Upon the Transaction Closing, the Pubco Class A Common Stock will be registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and will be listed for trading on the Stock Exchange, and the Pubco Class A Common Stock will be approved for listing on the Stock Exchange or another national securities exchange, subject to official notice of issuance.

(n) Other than compensation to be paid to Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as sole placement agent to Pubco (the “Placement Agent”), no broker or finder is entitled to any brokerage or finder’s fee or commission solely in connection with the sale of the Subscribed Shares to Subscriber.

(o) When issued, all issued and outstanding Pubco Class A Common Stock will have been duly authorized and validly issued, will be fully paid and non-assessable and will not be subject to preemptive or similar rights. Other than the subsidiaries of Pubco to be formed after the date hereof pursuant to the BCA, Pubco has no subsidiaries and does not own, directly or indirectly, interests or investments (whether equity or debt) in any person, whether incorporated or unincorporated. There are no shareholder agreements, voting trusts or other agreements or understandings to which Pubco is a party or by which it is bound relating to the voting of any Pubco Class A Common Stock or Pubco Class B Common Stock or other equity interests in Pubco, other than as contemplated by the BCA or as described in the forms, reports, schedules, statements, registration statements, prospectuses, and other documents filed or furnished as of the date hereof by SPAC with the Commission under the Securities Act and/or the Exchange Act (collectively, and together with any amendments, restatements or supplements thereto, the “SEC Documents”). There are no securities or instruments issued by or to which SPAC is a party containing anti-dilution or similar provisions that will be triggered, and not fully waived by the holder of such securities or instruments pursuant to a written agreement or consent, by the issuance of the Advance Funding Shares, in each case, that have not been or will not be validly waived on or prior to the Completion Date.

(p) All Subscription Agreements in respect of the Advance Funding Shares reflect the same Per Share Price and substantially the same other material terms and conditions with respect to the purchase of Shares that are no more favorable in the aggregate to the Other Advance Funding Subscribers than the material terms of this Subscription Agreement are to the Subscriber (other than any terms particular to the regulatory requirements of such investor or its affiliates or related funds that are mutual funds or are otherwise subject to regulations related to the timing of funding and the issuance of the related Shares).

Subscriber acknowledges that certain information provided to it by the Company and Pubco was based on projections, and such projections were prepared based on assumptions and estimates that are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections. Subscriber further acknowledges that such information and projections were prepared without participation of the Placement Agent and that the Placement Agent and each of its members, directors, officers, employees, representatives and controlling persons have made no independent investigation with respect to Pubco or the Shares or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of any information or projections supplied to the Subscriber and does not assume responsibility for independent verification of, or the accuracy or completeness of, such information or projections. Subscriber also acknowledges that the information provided to Subscriber was preliminary and subject to change, including in the registration statement and the proxy statement and/or prospectus that will be filed with the Commission in connection with the Transactions.

(j) Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that none of the Company, SPAC, Pubco, the Placement Agent nor their respective affiliates or any of such person’s or its or their respective affiliates’ Representatives has provided Subscriber with any advice with respect to the Subscribed Shares. Other than as set forth herein, none of SPAC, Pubco, the Placement Agent or any of their respective affiliates or Representatives has made or makes any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, of any kind or character as to the Company, SPAC, Pubco or the quality or value of the Subscribed Shares.

(k) Subscriber became aware of this offering of the Subscribed Shares solely by means of direct contact between Subscriber, on the one hand, and Pubco (and its Representatives, including the Placement Agent), on the other, and the Subscribed Shares were offered to Subscriber solely by direct contact between Subscriber, on the one hand, and Pubco (and its Representatives, including the Placement Agent), on the other, or their respective affiliates.

Subscriber did not become aware of this offering of the Subscribed Shares, nor were the Subscribed Shares offered to Subscriber, by any other means, and none of the Company, SPAC or Pubco or their respective Representatives (including the Placement Agent) acted as investment advisor, broker or dealer to Subscriber. Subscriber acknowledges that the Subscribed Shares (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D of the Securities Act) and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws.

Section 6. Registration of Subscribed Shares.

(a) Subject to Section 6(b), Pubco agrees that, as soon as practicable but in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days following the Completion Date, Pubco will file with the Commission (at Pubco’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Subscribed Shares that are eligible for registration (determined as of two Business Days prior to such filing) (the “Registrable Securities” and such registration statement, the “Registration Statement”), and Pubco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the

Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than seventy five (75) calendar days after the Completion Date (the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided that the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended by a maximum of ninety (90) calendar days after the Completion Date if the Registration Statement is reviewed by, and comments thereto are provided from, the Commission; provided, further, that Pubco shall request the Registration Statement declared effective promptly after the date Pubco is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the staff of the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review; provided, further, that (i) if the Effectiveness Deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the Commission is closed for business, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to the next Business Day on which the Commission is open for business and (ii) if the Commission is closed for operations due to a government shutdown, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended by the same number of calendar days as the number of calendar days during which the Commission remains closed. Pubco will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to Subscriber as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Completion Date, and in any event at least five (5) Business Days in advance of the date of filing the Registration Statement with the Commission. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Subscriber prior to the filing of the Registration Statement, Subscriber shall not be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless the Commission requests that Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter; provided that if the Commission requests that Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, Subscriber will have the opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement upon its prompt written request to Pubco. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission or its regulations prevent Pubco from including any or all of the Registrable Securities 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 Registrable Securities by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Registrable Securities which is equal to the maximum number of Registrable Securities as is permitted by the Commission. In such event, the number of Registrable Securities shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional Registrable Securities under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, Pubco shall amend the Registration Statement or file one or more new Registration Statement(s) (with such amendment or new Registration Statement also being deemed to be a “Registration Statement” hereunder) to register such additional Registrable Securities and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment or Registration Statement(s) to become effective as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the filing of such Registration Statement (the “Additional Effectiveness Deadline”); provided that the Additional Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to seventy five (75) calendar days after the filing of such Registration Statement, including any new Registration Statement or amended Registration Statement, if such Registration Statement is reviewed by, and comments thereto are provided from, the Commission; provided, further, that Pubco shall request that such Registration Statement be declared effective promptly after the date Pubco is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the staff of the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review; provided, further, that (i) if such day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the Commission is closed for business, the Additional Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to the next Business Day on which the Commission is open for

business and (ii) if the Commission is closed for operations due to a government shutdown, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended by the same number of calendar days as the number of calendar days during which the Commission remains closed. Any failure by Pubco to file a Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Deadline or Additional Effectiveness Deadline shall not otherwise relieve Pubco of its obligations to file or effect a Registration Statement as set forth in this Section 6.

(b) Pubco agrees that, except for such times as Pubco is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, Pubco will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to remain effective with respect to Subscriber, including to prepare and file any post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus such that the prospectus will not include any untrue statement or 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, until the earliest to occur of (i) the date on which Subscriber ceases to hold any Registrable Securities issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, (ii) the first date on which Subscriber can sell all of its Registrable Securities issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such securities that may be sold and without the requirement for Pubco to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), and (iii) three years from the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement (the earliest of clauses (i) through (iii), the “End Date”). Prior to the End Date, Pubco (i) will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable; (ii) file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable Subscriber to resell Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement; and (iii) qualify the Registrable Securities for listing on the Stock Exchange and update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include Registrable Securities. Pubco will use its commercially reasonable efforts to (A) for so long as Subscriber holds Registrable Securities, make and keep public information available (as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144) and file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of Pubco under the Exchange Act so long as Pubco remains subject to such requirements to enable Subscriber to resell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, (B) at the reasonable request of Subscriber, deliver all the necessary documentation to cause Pubco’s transfer agent to remove all restrictive legends from any Registrable Securities being sold under the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 at the time of sale of the Registrable Securities, and (C) cause its legal counsel to deliver to the transfer agent the necessary legal opinions required by the transfer agent, if any, in connection with the instruction under clause (B) upon the receipt of Subscriber representation letters and such other customary supporting documentation as requested by (and in a form reasonably acceptable to) such counsel. Subscriber agrees to disclose its beneficial ownership, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, of Registrable Securities to Pubco (or its successor) as may be reasonably required to enable Pubco to make the determination described above.

(c) Pubco’s obligations to include the Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to Pubco a completed selling stockholder questionnaire in customary form that contains such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of Pubco held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably requested by Pubco to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and Subscriber shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Pubco may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that Pubco shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement (i) during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder and (ii) as may be necessary in connection with the preparation and filing of a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement following the filing of Pubco’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its first completed fiscal year following the effective date of the Registration Statement; provided that Pubco shall request such information from Subscriber, including the selling stockholder questionnaire, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated date of filing the Registration Statement with the Commission. In the case of the registration effected by Pubco pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, Pubco shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration. Subscriber shall not be entitled to use the Registration Statement for an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Pubco shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or suspend the use or effectiveness of any such Registration Statement if (A) it determines in good faith that in order for the registration statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, including as a result of any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or any prospectus relating thereto or for additional information, (B) such filing or use would materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of Pubco or would require premature disclosure of information that would materially adversely affect Pubco, (C) in the good faith judgment of the majority of the members of Pubco’s board of directors, such filing or effectiveness or use of such Registration Statement would be seriously detrimental to Pubco, (D) the majority of the members of Pubco’s board of directors determines 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 the SEC Guidance or future Commission guidance directed at special purpose acquisition companies or companies that have consummated a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company, or any related disclosure or related matters, (E) as may be necessary in connection with the preparation and filing of a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement following the filing of Pubco’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its first completed fiscal year following the effective date of the Registration Statement, or (F) Subscriber agrees that (1) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which Pubco agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to in Section 6(d)(A) and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by Pubco that it may resume such offers and sales and (2) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by Pubco unless otherwise required by law, subpoena or regulatory request or requirement (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided that (w) Pubco shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of the Registration Statement for a period of more than ninety (90) consecutive days or more than one hundred and twenty (120) total calendar days in any consecutive three hundred sixty (360) day period, or more than two (2) times in any consecutive three hundred sixty (360) day period and (x) Pubco shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such registration statement available for the sale by Subscriber of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter.

(e) Upon receipt of any written notice from Pubco of the happening of (i) an issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose, which notice shall be given no later than three (3) Business Days from the date of such event, (ii) any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective, or (iii) 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, Subscriber agrees that (1) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which Pubco agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts 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 Pubco that it may resume such offers and sales and (2) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by Pubco unless otherwise required by law, subpoena or regulatory request or requirement. If so directed by Pubco, Subscriber will deliver to Pubco or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities in Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities shall not apply (w) to the extent 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 (x) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

(f) For purposes of this Section 6, (i) “Registrable Securities” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the Registrable Securities and any other equity security issued or issuable with respect to the Registrable Securities by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, or replacement, and (ii) “Subscriber” shall include any person to which the rights under this Section 6 shall have been duly assigned.

(g) Pubco shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Subscriber (to the extent Subscriber is a seller under the Registration Statement), the officers, directors, members, managers, partners, agents and employees of Subscriber, each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, members, managers, partners, agents and employees of each such controlling person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all out-of-pocket and reasonably documented losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including reasonable and documented external attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or caused by or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the 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 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, except to the extent that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions (1) are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to Pubco by or on behalf of Subscriber expressly for use therein or Subscriber has omitted a material fact from such information or (2) result from or are in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of Subscriber in violation of Section 6(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pubco’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of Pubco. Pubco shall provide Subscriber with an update on any threatened or asserted proceedings arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 6 of which Pubco receives notice whether oral or in writing.

(h) Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly with any other subscriber in the offering contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Pubco, its directors, officers, members, managers, partners, agents and employees, each person who controls Pubco (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, members, managers, partners, agents or employees of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses arising out of or 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, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to Pubco by or on behalf of Subscriber expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of Subscriber be greater in amount than the United States dollars amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Subscriber’s indemnification obligation shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(i) Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) 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 or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) 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 defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one 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), which settlement shall not include a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party, and which settlement shall 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.

(j) 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 the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

(k) If the indemnification provided under this Section 6 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Losses, 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 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 Subscriber shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Subscriber from the sale of Registrable Securities 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), or on behalf of 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 shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6, 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 6(k) from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event will any party be liable for punitive damages in connection with this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(l) At any time and from time to time in connection with a bona-fide sale of Subscribed Shares effected in compliance with the requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or through any broker-dealer sale transactions described in the plan of distribution set forth within any prospectus and pursuant to the Registration Statement, Pubco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, subject to the receipt of customary documentation required from the holder of the applicable Subscribed Shares and broker in connection therewith and compliance with applicable laws, (i) promptly instruct its transfer agent to remove any restrictive legends applicable to the Subscribed Shares being sold and (ii) in connection with any sale made pursuant to Rule 144, cause its legal counsel to deliver reasonably requested legal opinions, if any, to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under subclause (i). Subscriber may request that

Pubco remove any legend from the book entry position evidencing its Subscribed Shares following the earliest of such time as such Subscribed Shares (i) (x) are subject to or (y) have been or are about to be sold or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement (including the Registration Statement), or (ii) have been sold pursuant to Rule 144. Pubco shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent, its legal counsel (including for purposes of giving the opinion referenced herein) and all DTC fees associated with such issuance and the Subscriber shall be responsible for its fees or costs associated with such removal of the legend (including its legal fees or costs of its legal counsel); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Pubco will not be required to deliver any such opinion, authorization, certificate or direction if it reasonably believes that removal of the legend could result in or facilitate transfers of securities in violation of applicable law.

(m) With a view to making available to Subscriber the benefits of Rule 144 that permit Subscriber to sell securities of Pubco to the public without registration, Pubco agrees, for so long as Subscriber holds Subscribed Shares, to:

(i) make and keep current public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; and

(ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of Pubco under the Exchange Act so long as Pubco remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents as may be required pursuant to the applicable provisions of Rule 144.

(n) Upon request, Pubco shall provide the Subscriber with contact information for the person responsible for Pubco’s account at the transfer agent to facilitate transfers made pursuant to this Section 6 and provide reasonable assistance to facilitate transfers. Pubco shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and its legal counsel (including for purposes of giving the opinion referenced herein) associated with such issuance and the Subscriber shall be responsible for its fees or costs associated with such removal of the legend (including its legal fees or costs of its legal counsel).

Section 7. Termination. The obligations and restrictions of Section 6 and Section 9(u) of 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 BCA is terminated in accordance with its terms; (b) the mutual written agreement of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement; or (c) twelve months from the date of this Subscription Agreement; 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 such breach. Pubco shall notify Subscriber of the termination of the BCA promptly after the termination thereof. Upon the termination hereof in accordance with this Section 7, any cash or XRP held on behalf of Subscriber in connection herewith shall be returned in full to Subscriber in accordance with Section 2(d), without any deduction for or on account of any tax withholding except as required by law, charges or set-off.

Section 8. Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber hereby acknowledges that SPAC is a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Subscriber further acknowledges that, as described in the final prospectus relating to SPAC’s initial public offering (“IPO”) filed with the SEC (File No. 333-286110) on May 21, 2025 (the “Prospectus”), substantially all of SPAC’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of SPAC’s IPO and a private placement of its securities and substantially all of those proceeds (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) have been deposited into a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of SPAC and its public shareholders. As described in the Prospectus, the funds held from time to time in the Trust Account may only be released upon certain conditions. For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Subscriber hereby agrees (on its own behalf and on behalf of its related parties) that it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”) to, or to any monies or other assets in, the Trust Account, and hereby irrevocably waives (on its own behalf and on behalf of its related parties) any Claim to, or to any monies or other assets in, the Trust Account that it may have now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Subscribed Shares, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account (or any distributions therefrom directly or indirectly to SPAC’s public shareholders). In the event that Subscriber has any Claim against SPAC as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, the Other Advance Funding Subscription Agreements, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, or the Subscribed Shares, Subscriber agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account or any funds distributed therefrom (it being clarified that such waiver shall not apply following the Transaction Closing to the Trust Account funds that are released from the Trust Account to SPAC or Pubco in connection with the Transactions). Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that such irrevocable waiver is a material inducement to SPAC to enter into this Subscription Agreement, and further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding, and enforceable against Subscriber in accordance with applicable law. To the extent Subscriber commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to SPAC or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against SPAC or its Representatives, Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that its sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit Subscriber (or any person claiming on Subscriber’s behalf or in lieu of Subscriber) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. Nothing in this Section 8 shall be deemed to limit Subscriber’s right to distributions from the Trust Account in accordance with the SPAC Organizational Documents in respect of any redemptions by Subscriber in respect of SPAC Class A Common Shares acquired by any means. Notwithstanding anything in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 8 shall survive termination of this Subscription Agreement.

Section 9. Miscellaneous.

(a) Subscriber hereby acknowledges that it shall be solely responsible for and bear the cost of all transfer, stamp, issue, registration, documentary or other similar taxes, duties, fees or charges arising in any jurisdiction in connection with the Subscription contemplated in this Subscription Agreement as well as the execution of this Subscription Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Subscription Agreement, Pubco and any of its Representatives shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Registrable Securities and any other amount payable pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (in connection with a future share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, or replacement) any such taxes, duties, fees or other similar charges as may be required to be deducted and withheld from such amounts (and any other amounts treated as paid for applicable tax law) under the Code, or any other applicable tax law (as determined in good faith by the party so deducting or withholding in its sole discretion). To the extent that any amounts are so deducted and withheld, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Subscription Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Pubco acknowledges that Subscriber will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Transaction Closing, ▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to promptly notify Subscriber, if it becomes aware that any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of Pubco set forth herein are no longer accurate in all material respects.

(e) Each of the Company, Pubco, SPAC, the Placement Agent and Subscriber is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party as required by applicable law in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

(f) Each party hereto shall pay all of its own expenses in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein.

(g) Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to Subscriber hereunder may be transferred or assigned by Subscriber. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Company, Pubco or SPAC hereunder may be transferred or assigned by the Company, Pubco or SPAC without the prior written consent of Subscriber, other than in connection with the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscriber may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to one or more of its affiliates (including other investment funds or accounts managed or advised by the Subscriber or an investment manager who acts on behalf of Subscriber) upon written notice to the Company, Pubco and SPAC or, with the Company, Pubco and SPAC’s prior written consent, to another person; provided that in the case of any such assignment, the assignee(s) shall become a Subscriber hereunder and have the rights and obligations and be deemed to make the representations and warranties of Subscriber provided for herein to the extent of such assignment; and provided, further, that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning Subscriber of its obligations hereunder if any such assignee fails to perform such obligations, unless the Company, Pubco and SPAC have given their prior written consent to such relief. Any purported assignment or transfer in violation of this Section 9(g) shall be null and void. In the event of such a transfer or assignment, Subscriber shall complete the form of assignment attached as Annex D hereto.

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

(i) Pubco and SPAC may request from Subscriber such additional information as Pubco or SPAC may reasonably determine to be necessary to evaluate the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the Subscribed Shares and to register the Subscribed Shares for resale, and Subscriber shall promptly provide such information as may be reasonably requested, to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with its internal policies and procedures; provided that Pubco and SPAC agree to keep any such information provided by Subscriber confidential, except (A) as required by the federal securities laws, rules or regulations, (B) to the extent such disclosure is required by other laws, rules or regulations, at the request of the staff of the Commission or regulatory agency or under the regulations of the Stock Exchange, and (C) to the extent disclosed to SPAC’s or Pubco’s lawyers, independent accountants and to other advisors and service providers who reasonably require such information in connection with the provision of services to such person, are advised of the confidential nature of such information and are obligated to keep such information confidential. Subscriber acknowledges that SPAC or Pubco may file a form of this Subscription Agreement with the Commission as an exhibit to a current or periodic report of SPAC or Pubco, an annex to a proxy statement of SPAC or Pubco or as an exhibit to a registration statement of Pubco.

(j) This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto; provided that no provision of this Agreement that references the Placement Agent may be amended, modified, terminated or waived in any manner that is adverse to the Placement Agent without the written consent of the Placement Agent.

(k) This Subscription Agreement 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.

(l) Except with respect to the Placement Agent (who is a third-party beneficiary of the representations, warranties and covenants that reference the Placement Agent set forth herein) or the Other Advance Funding Subscribers (who are third-party beneficiaries of any provisions set forth in Section 1(e) and Section 2(d) to the extent such provisions reference the Advance Funding Subscribers) that as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns and, except with respect to the Placement Agent or the Other Advance Funding Subscribers or as provided herein, is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person.

(m) The parties hereto acknowledge and 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 and that money or other legal remedies may not be an adequate remedy for such damage. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including in the form of an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Subscription Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Pubco and SPAC shall be entitled to specifically enforce Subscriber’s obligations to fund the Subscription and the provisions of the Subscription Agreement, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree: (x) to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy; (y) not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement pursuant to this Section 9(m) is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable law or inequitable for any reason; and (z) to waive any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(n) 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.

(o) No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Subscription Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without such notice or demand.

(p) This Subscription Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts (including by electronic mail, in .pdf or other electronic submission) 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.

(q) This Subscription Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws that would otherwise require the application of the law of any other state.

(r) EACH PARTY AND ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OR RELATED TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY OTHER SUCH PARTY, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, ▇▇▇▇ CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT.

(s) The parties agree that all disputes, legal actions, suits and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement must be brought exclusively in the courts of the State of New York or the courts of the United States located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, New York (collectively, the “Designated Courts”).
