Investment Representations (i) The Purchaser is acquiring the Private Placement Warrants and, upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, the Shares issuable upon such exercise (collectively, the “Securities”) for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, any public sale or distribution thereof.
(ii) The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D, and the Purchaser has not experienced a disqualifying event as enumerated pursuant to Rule 506(d) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
(iii) The Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and will be sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire such Securities.
(iv) The Purchaser did not decide to enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act.
(v) The Purchaser has been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by the Purchaser. The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the executive officers and directors of the Company. The Purchaser understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk and it has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of the Securities.
(vi) The Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities by the Purchaser nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.
(vii) The Purchaser understands that: (a) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (1) subsequently registered thereunder or (2) sold in reliance on an exemption therefrom; and (b) except as specifically set forth in the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement, neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. In this regard, the Purchaser understands that the SEC has taken the position that promoters or affiliates of a blank check company and their transferees, both before and after an initial Business Combination, are deemed to be “underwriters” under the Securities Act when reselling the securities of a blank check company. Based on that position, Rule 144 adopted pursuant to the Securities Act would not be available for resale transactions of the Securities despite technical compliance with the requirements of such Rule, and the Securities can be resold only through a registered offering or in reliance upon another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
(viii) The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, knowledge of the high degree of risk associated with investments in the securities of companies in the development stage such as the Company, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities in the amount contemplated hereunder for an indefinite period of time. The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current financial needs and contingencies and will have no current or anticipated future needs for liquidity which would be jeopardized by the investment in the Securities. The Purchaser can afford a complete loss of its investments in the Securities.
(ix) The Purchaser understands that the Private Placement Warrants shall bear the legend substantially in the form set forth in the Warrant Agreement.
Investment Instructions (a) Any investment instructions required to be given to the Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof must be given to the Trustee no later than 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the date such investment is to be made. In the event the Trustee receives such investment instruction later than such time, the Trustee may, but shall have no obligation to, make such investment. In the event the Trustee is unable to make an investment required in an investment instruction received by the Trustee after 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on such day, such investment shall be made by the Trustee on the next succeeding Business Day. In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any investment not made pursuant to investment instructions received after 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the day such investment is requested to be made.
(b) The Trustee shall hold each Eligible Investment that constitutes investment property through a securities intermediary, which securities intermediary shall agree with the Trustee that (i) such investment property at all times shall be credited to a securities account of the Trustee, (ii) all property credited to such securities account shall be treated as a financial asset, (iii) such securities intermediary shall treat the Trustee as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise each financial asset credited to such securities account, (iv) such securities intermediary shall comply with entitlement orders originated by the Trustee without the further consent of any other person or entity, (v) such securities intermediary shall not agree with any person or entity other than the Trustee to comply with entitlement orders originated by any person or entity other than the Trustee, (vi) such securities account and all property credited thereto shall not be subject to any lien, security interest, right of set-off, or encumbrance in favor of such securities intermediary or anyone claiming through such securities intermediary (other than the Trustee), (vii) such agreement between such securities intermediary and the Trustee shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, and (viii) such securities intermediary’s jurisdiction for purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code shall be the State of New York. The Trustee shall maintain possession of each other Eligible Investment in the State of New York, separate and apart from all other property held by the Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Supplement, the Trustee shall not hold any Eligible Investment through an agent except as expressly permitted by this Section 4.13(b). Each term used in this Section 4.13(b) and defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code shall have the meaning set forth in the New York Uniform Commercial Code.
(c) With respect to investments made by the Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof, the Servicer may appoint as its agent under a separate agreement a registered investment advisor and authorize such agent to give instructions, which may be provided to the Trustee through S.W.I.F.T., on behalf of the Servicer to the Trustee for funds to be invested and reinvested in one or more Eligible Investments. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee with a written direction certifying any such appointment. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in acting upon, instructions, which may be provided to the Trustee through S.W.I.F.T., received from such agent on behalf of the Servicer. Section 4.14. [Reserved].
Investment Limitations If the Custodian has otherwise complied with the terms and conditions of this Agreement in performing its duties generally, and more particularly in connection with the purchase, sale or exchange of securities made by or for a Portfolio, the Custodian shall not be liable to the applicable Fund and such Fund agrees to indemnify the Custodian and its nominees, for any loss, damage or expense suffered or incurred by the Custodian and its nominees arising out of any violation of any investment or other limitation to which such Fund is subject.
