(e)             Investor (i) is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an institutional “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act), in each case, satisfying the applicable requirements set forth on Schedule I, or is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (ii) is acquiring the Subject Shares only for its own account and not for the account of others, or if Investor is subscribing for the Subject Shares as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, each owner of such account is a “qualified institutional buyer” or an institutional “accredited investor” (each as defined above), and Investor has full investment discretion with respect to each such account and the full power and authority to make the acknowledgements, representations and agreements herein on behalf of each owner of each such account, and (iii) is not acquiring the Subject Shares with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act and Investor further represents that Investor does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations in the Subject Shares to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to any of the Subject Shares. If Investor was formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Subject Shares, each of its equity owners is an accredited investor. Investor has completed Schedule I hereto, and the information contained therein is accurate and complete.

 

(f)              Investor understands that the Subject Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Subject Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act. Investor understands that the Subject Shares may not be resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by Investor absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, except (i) to the Company or a subsidiary thereof, (ii) to non-U.S. persons pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (iii) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that all of the applicable conditions thereof have been met, or (iv) pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and that any book-entry notations with respect to (or certificates representing) the Subject Shares will contain a legend to such effect. Investor acknowledges that the Subject Shares will not be eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act. Investor understands and agrees that the Subject Shares, until transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement, will be subject to transfer restrictions and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, Investor may not be able to readily resell the Subject Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Subject Shares for an indefinite period of time. Investor acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Subject Shares for resale, except for the Registration Rights. Investor understands that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of any of the Subject Shares.

(h)             Investor’s acquisition and holding of the Subject Shares will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”), or any applicable similar law.

 

(i)              In making its decision to subscribe for and purchase the Subject Shares, Investor has relied solely upon Investor’s own independent investigation and the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein. Investor acknowledges that (i) Investor has received such information as Investor deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Subject Shares, and (ii) Investor and its professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask the Company’s management questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as Investor and its professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Subject Shares. Investor acknowledges and agrees that neither Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC / UBS Securities LLC, acting as placement agent to the Company (the “Placement Agent”), nor any affiliate of the Placement Agent has provided Investor with any information or advice with respect to the Subject Shares nor is such information or advice necessary or desired. Neither the Placement Agent nor any of its affiliates has made or makes any representation as to the Company or HHH or the quality of the Subject Shares. In connection with the issuance of the Subject Shares to Investor, neither the Placement Agent nor any of its affiliates has acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary to Investor.

 

(j)              Investor became aware of the offering of the Subject Shares solely by means of direct contact between Investor and the Company or by means of contact from the Placement Agent, and the Subject Shares were offered to Investor solely by direct contact between Investor and the Company or by contact between Investor and the Placement Agent. Investor did not become aware of the offering of the Subject Shares, nor were the Subject Shares offered to Investor, by any other means.

 

(k)             Investor acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Subject Shares. Investor 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 Subject Shares, and Investor has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as Investor has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision.

 

(l)              Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), Investor has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Subject Shares and determined that the Subject Shares are a suitable investment for Investor and that Investor is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of Investor’s investment in the Company. Investor acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

(m)            Investor understands and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Subject Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of an investment in the Subject Shares.

 

(n)            Investor is not (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons, the Executive Order 13599 List, or the Foreign Sanctions Evaders List, each of which is administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (collectively, the “OFAC Lists”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program, (ii) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R.

Section 5311 et seq.), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), Investor 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 Lists. To the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by Investor and used to purchase the Subject Shares were legally derived.

 

(o)             If Investor is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), Investor hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Subject Shares or any use of this Subscription Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Subject Shares, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Subject Shares.

(g)             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. For the avoidance of doubt, this Subscription Agreement shall not have the effect of superseding or supplementing (or otherwise affect) the Forward Purchase Agreements. This Subscription Agreement is exclusively for the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and except as provided in Section 12(d), this Subscription Agreement shall not be deemed to confer upon or give to any other third party any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right, in each case whether by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Ordinance (Cap. 623 of the Laws of Hong Kong) or any similar law in other jurisdiction to enforce any of the terms to this Subscription Agreement.

Accordingly, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the parties may be entitled to seek an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Subscription Agreement and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that the other party has an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.
