Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with the proposed business combination (the Transaction) between NavSight Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (SPAC), and Spire Global Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), and pursuant to a business combination agreement (the Transaction Agreement) to be entered into among SPAC, the Company, and NavSight Merger Sub Inc. a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of SPAC formed for the purpose of consummating such business combination (Merger Sub), SPAC is seeking commitments from interested investors to subscribe for newly issued shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Shares), of SPAC, for a subscription price of $10.00 per share (the Subscription). The aggregate subscription price to be paid by the undersigned (the Investor) for the subscribed Shares (as set forth on the signature page hereto) is referred to herein as the Subscription Amount.
Certain other qualified institutional buyers (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act)) or institutional accredited investors (as described in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act) (each, an Other Investor) have, severally and not jointly, entered into separate subscription agreements with SPAC (the Other Subscription Agreements), pursuant to which such investors have agreed to purchase Shares at the same per share purchase price as the Investor, and the aggregate amount of securities to be sold by SPAC pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements equals, as of the date hereof, 24,500,000 Shares. Neither Placement Agent shall engage or participate in any communication or other activities with respect to any potential purchasers in any offer or sale of securities that are (a) retail customers, as defined in Regulation Best Interest promulgated under the Exchange Act (Regulation Best Interest), and/or (b) not institutional accounts, as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c), (such investors, the Excluded Investors), and neither Placement Agent shall have any liability or responsibility with respect to, nor receive any fee in connection with the offering and sale of, any of the Securities that are offered or sold to any Excluded Investors (any such offer or sale, an Excluded Investor Private Placement). For purposes of clarity, any Investor who is a natural person shall be included within the definition of Excluded Investor.
In connection therewith, and in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Investor and SPAC agree as follows:
1. Subscription. The Investor hereby subscribes for, and SPAC agrees to issue and sell to Investor, such number of Shares as is set forth on the signature page of this subscription agreement (the Subscription Agreement) on the terms, and subject to the conditions provided for herein. The Investor understands and agrees that the Investors subscription for the Shares shall be deemed to be accepted by SPAC when this Subscription Agreement is signed by a duly authorized person by or on behalf of SPAC, on the date hereof.
2. Closing. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 3 below, the closing of the Subscription contemplated hereby (the Closing) shall occur on the date of, and substantially concurrently with and conditioned upon, the effectiveness and closing of the Transaction and immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) (the Closing Date). Upon delivery of written notice from (or on behalf of) SPAC to the Investor (the Closing Notice), that
SPAC reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transaction to be satisfied or waived on a date that is not less than five (5) business days from the date on which the Closing Notice is delivered to the Investor, the Investor shall deliver to SPAC, three (3) business days prior to the closing date specified in the Closing Notice (the Scheduled Closing Date), to be held in escrow, the Subscription Amount by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by SPAC in the Closing Notice. On the Closing Date, SPAC shall issue the Shares to the Investor, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions (other than those arising under this Subscription Agreement or applicable securities laws), and subsequently cause the Shares to be registered in book entry form in the name of the Investor on SPACs share register, and the Subscription Amount shall be released from escrow automatically without any further action by SPAC or the Investor. In the event the Closing does not occur within three (3) business days of the Scheduled Closing Date, SPAC shall promptly (but not later than two (2) business days thereafter) return the Subscription Amount to the Investor. For the avoidance of doubt, the return of any Subscription Amount in connection with a delay in the Scheduled Closing Date shall not relieve the Investor of its obligations to pay the Subscription Amount on the date set forth in a revised Closing Notice and to otherwise comply with the terms and conditions of this Subscription Agreement. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, business day shall mean any day other than (a) any Saturday or Sunday or (b) any other day on which banks located in New York, New York are required or authorized by applicable law to be closed for business.

k. SPAC is in compliance with all applicable laws, except where such non-compliance would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

o. Except for such matters as have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, there is no (i) suit, action, proceeding or arbitration before a governmental authority or arbitrator pending, or, to the knowledge of SPAC, threatened in writing against SPAC or (ii) judgment, decree, injunction, ruling or order of any governmental authority or arbitrator outstanding against SPAC.
p. SPAC is not under any obligation to pay any brokers fee or commission in connection with the sale of the Shares.
6. Investor Representations and Warranties. The Investor represents and warrants to SPAC that:

The Investor is an accredited investor (as described in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act), in each case, satisfying the applicable requirements set forth on Schedule A, (ii) is acquiring the Shares only for his, her or its own account and not for the account of others, or if the Investor is subscribing for the Shares as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts which is a qualified
5
institutional buyer or accredited investor, the 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 Shares with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act (and shall provide the requested information on Schedule A).
b. [Reserved]
c. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, except as required by Section 7 of this Subscription Agreement.

As a result the Investor may not be able to readily resell the Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time. The Investor acknowledges that the Shares will not immediately be eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. The Investor understands that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of any of the Shares. Permitted Transferee means (a) the members of the Investors immediate family (where immediate family means, with respect to any natural person, any of the following: such persons spouse, the siblings of such person and his or her spouse, and the direct descendants and ascendants (including adopted and step children and parents) of such person and his or her spouses and siblings) or (b) any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the Investor or the immediate family of the Investor.
d. The Investors acquisition and holding of the 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 of 1986, as amended, or any applicable similar law.
e. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor has had access to, and an adequate opportunity to review such financial and other information as the Investor deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares, including, with respect to SPAC, Merger Sub, the Company, the Transaction and the business of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The Investor represents and agrees that the Investor and the Investors professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information, including financial information, as the Investor and such Investors professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares. The Investor further acknowledges that the information provided to the Investor is preliminary and subject to change and that any changes to such information, including, without limitation, any changes based on updated information or changes in terms of the Transaction, shall in no way affect the Investors obligation to subscribe for the Shares hereunder.
6

The Investor did not become aware of this offering of the Shares, nor were the Shares offered to the Investor, by any other means. The Investor acknowledges that the SPAC represents that the Shares (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising 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. The Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, SPAC, the Company, the Placement Agents or their respective affiliates or any of its or their control persons, officers, directors, employees or representatives), other than the representations and warranties of SPAC contained in Section 5 of this Subscription Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in SPAC.

h. Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), the Investor has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Shares and determined that the Shares are a suitable investment for the Investor and that the Investor is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of the Investors investment in SPAC. The Investor acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.
i. In making its decision to subscribe for the Shares, the Investor has relied solely upon independent investigation made by the Investor and the SPACs representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement.

k. The Investor acknowledges that certain information provided to it 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.

Assuming that this Subscription Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of SPAC, this Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor 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, or (ii) general principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

7. Registration Rights.
a. In the event that the Shares are not registered in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, SPAC agrees that, within forty-five (45) calendar days after the consummation of the Transaction, it will file with the SEC (at its sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering such resale (the Registration Statement), and it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) ninety (90) calendar days after the filing thereof (or, in the event the SEC reviews and has written comments to the Registration Statement, the one hundred and twentieth (120th) calendar day following the filing thereof) and (ii) the tenth (10th) business day after the date SPAC is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review ((i) and (ii) collectively, the Effectiveness Deadline); provided, that if such falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the SEC is closed for business, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to the next Business Day on which the SEC is open for business. SPACs obligations to include the Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares issued in exchange therefor) for resale in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Investor furnishing in writing to SPAC such
9
information regarding the Investor, the securities of SPAC held by the Investor and the intended method of disposition of such Shares as shall be reasonably requested by SPAC to effect the registration of such Shares, and the Investor shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as SPAC may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that SPAC shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder, provided that the Investor shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Shares.
b. In the case of the registration effected by SPAC pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, SPAC shall, upon reasonable request, inform the Investor as to the status of such registration, and shall:
(i) except for such times as SPAC 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 SPAC determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to the Investor, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earliest of the following: (i) the third anniversary of the Closing, (ii) the date on which the Investor ceases to hold any Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, and (iii) on the first date on which the Investor can sell all of its Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of the Securities Act within 90 days without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such securities that may be sold and without the requirement for the SPAC to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) or Rule 144()(2), as applicable (and the Investor agrees to disclose its ownership to SPAC upon request to assist it in making the above determination);
(ii) advise the Investor within five (5) business days (A) when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective, (B) 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, (C) of the receipt by SPAC 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 (D) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, SPAC shall not, when so advising the Investor of such events, provide the Investor with any material, nonpublic information regarding SPAC other than to the extent that providing notice to the Investor of the occurrence of the events listed in clauses (A) through (D) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding SPAC;
(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;
10
(iv) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 7.b(ii)(D), except for such times as SPAC is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, SPAC 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 subscribers 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(v) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which SPACs common stock is then listed;
(vi) for as long as the Investor holds Shares, use its 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 Investor to sell the Shares under Rule 144; and
(vii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Shares contemplated hereby.
c. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, SPAC shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require the Investor not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by SPAC or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event SPACs board of directors reasonably believes, based upon the advice of external counsel, would require additional disclosure by SPAC in the Registration Statement of material information that SPAC has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of SPACs board of directors, based upon the advice of external counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a Suspension Event); provided, however, that SPAC may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement for more than ninety (90) consecutive calendar days, or more than one hundred and twenty (120) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from SPAC 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 Investor agrees that (i) it will 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 Investor receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which SPAC agrees to promptly prepare upon the expiration of such Suspension Event) 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 SPAC that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by SPAC unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by SPAC, the Investor will deliver to SPAC or, in the Investors sole discretion, destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares in the Investors possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent the Investor 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) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.
11
Investor may deliver written notice (an Opt-Out Notice) to the SPAC requesting that Investor not receive notices from the SPAC otherwise required by Section 7(c); provided, however, that Investor may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from Investor (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the SPAC shall not deliver any such notices to Investor and Investor shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to Investors intended use of an effective Registration Statement, Investor will notify the SPAC in writing at least two (2) Business Days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 7(c)) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Investor will so notify SPAC, within one (1) Business Day of Investors notification to the SPAC, by delivering to Investor a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide Investor with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event promptly following its availability.
d. The Investor hereby agrees that, from the date of this Subscription Agreement and until the Closing (or earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement), no person or entity, while acting in connection with this Transaction and on behalf of the Investor or any of its controlled affiliates or pursuant to any understanding in connection with this Transaction with the Investor or any of its controlled affiliates, will engage in any Short Sales with respect to securities of SPAC that are owned by the Investor or the Investors controlled affiliates. Solely for purposes of this Section 7(d), subject to the Investors compliance with its obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws and the Investors internal policies, (a) Investor shall not be deemed to include any employees, subsidiaries, desks, groups or affiliates of the Investor that are effectively walled off by appropriate Fire Wall information barriers approved by the Investors legal or compliance department, and (b) the foregoing covenants of this Section 7(d) shall not apply to any transaction by or on behalf of the Investor that was effected without the advice or participation of persons in receipt of information regarding this Transaction, and (c) in the case of an Investor that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Investors assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Investors assets, this Section 7(d) shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Subscription Amount covered by this Subscription Agreement.
e. The legend described in Section 6(c) shall be removed and SPAC shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of the Shares or issue to such holder by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at The Depository Trust Company (DTC), if (i) the Shares are registered for resale under the Securities Act, upon the sale thereof, (ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer, such holder provides SPAC with an opinion of counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to SPAC, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Shares may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, or (iii) the Shares can be sold, assigned or transferred without restriction or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, including any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and any requirement for SPAC to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c) or 144(i), as applicable, and in each case, the holder provides SPAC with an undertaking to effect any sales or other transfers in accordance with the Securities Act. With respect to clause (i), while the Registration Statement is effective, SPAC shall cause its counsel, or counsel acceptable to the Transfer Agent, to issue to the Transfer Agent a blanket legal opinion to allow the legend on the Shares to be removed upon resale of the Shares pursuant to the effective Registration Statement in accordance with this Section 7. SPAC shall be responsible for the fees of the applicable transfer agent and all DTC fees associated with such issuance and the Investor shall be responsible for all other fees and expenses (including, without limitation, any applicable broker fees, feels and disbursements of their legal counsel and any applicable transfer taxes). To the extent required by the Transfer Agent, SPAC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its legal counsel to deliver a customary opinion within two business days of the delivery of all reasonably necessary representations and other documentation from the Investor as reasonably requested by SPAC, its counsel or the transfer agent by the Investor to the Transfer Agent to the effect that the removal of the restrictive legend in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act.
12
f. The SPAC agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, the Investor (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), its directors, officers, partners, agents, managers, members stockholders and each person who controls the Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act), ), to the extent permitted by law, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys fees of one law firm (and one firm of local counsel)) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement (Prospectus) or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the SPAC by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein.
8. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms without the Transaction being consummated, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, or (c) March 1, 2022 if the Closing has not occurred by such date; provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such breach. SPAC shall notify the Investor of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement, and any monies paid by the Investor to SPAC in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within one business day) following a termination be returned to the Investor without any deduction for or on account of any tax withholding or set-off.
9. Trust Account Waiver. The Investor acknowledges that SPAC is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving SPAC and one or more businesses or assets. The Investor further acknowledges that, as described in SPACs prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated September 9, 2020 (the IPO Prospectus) available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of SPACs assets consist of the cash proceeds of SPACs initial public offering and private placement of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the Trust Account) for the benefit of SPAC, its public shareholders and the underwriters of SPACs initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to SPAC to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the IPO Prospectus. For and in consideration of SPAC entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Investor hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind it has or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account at any time for any reason whatsoever; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9 shall (x) serve to limit or prohibit the Investors right to pursue a claim against SPAC for legal relief against assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief, (y) serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Investor may have in the future against SPACs 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) or (z) be deemed to limit the Investors right, title, interest or claim to any monies held in the Trust Account by virtue of its record or beneficial ownership of Class A common stock shares of SPAC currently outstanding on the date hereof, pursuant to a validly exercised redemption right with respect to any such shares, except to the extent that the Investor has otherwise agreed with SPAC to not exercise such redemption right. This Section 9 shall survive any termination of this Subscription Agreement.
13

14
a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.
g.
