Purchase of the Notes by the Underwriters (a) The Company agrees to issue and sell the Firm Notes to the several Underwriters as provided in this Agreement, and each Underwriter, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein and subject to the conditions set forth herein, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company the respective principal amounts of the Firm Notes set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name in Schedule 1 hereto at a price equal to 95.5% of the principal amount thereof (the “Purchase Price”). In addition, the Company agrees to issue and sell the Option Notes to the several Underwriters as provided in this Agreement, and the Underwriters, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein and subject to the conditions set forth herein, shall have the option to purchase, severally and not jointly, from the Company the Option Notes at the Purchase Price less an amount per share equal to any dividends or distributions declared by the Company and payable on the Firm Notes but not payable on the Option Notes. If any Option Notes are to be purchased, the principal amount of Option Notes to be purchased by each Underwriter shall be the principal amount of Option Notes which bears the same ratio to the aggregate principal amount of Option Notes being purchased as the principal amount of Firm Notes set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule 1 hereto (or such principal amount increased as set forth in Section 10 hereof) bears to the aggregate principal amount of Firm Notes being purchased from the Company by the several Underwriters, subject, however, to such adjustments to eliminate any fractional Notes as the Representatives in their sole discretion shall make. The Underwriters may exercise the option to purchase Option Notes at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, on or before the 30th day following the date of the Prospectus, by written notice from the Representatives to the Company. Such notice shall set forth the aggregate principal amount of Option Notes as to which the option is being exercised and the date and time when the Option Notes are to be delivered and paid for, which may be the same date and time as the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) but shall not be earlier than the Closing Date or later than the 10th full business day (as hereinafter defined) after the date of such notice (unless such time and date are postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10 hereof). Any such notice shall be given at least two business days prior to the date and time of delivery specified therein. (b) The Company understands that the Underwriters intend to make a public offering of the Notes as soon after the effectiveness of this Agreement as in the judgment of the Representatives is advisable, and initially to offer the Notes on the terms set forth in the Prospectus. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters may offer and sell Notes to or through any affiliate of an Underwriter.

Additionally, neither the Representatives nor any other Underwriter is advising the Company, the Guarantors or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company and the Guarantors shall consult with their own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making their own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Underwriters shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company or the Guarantors with respect thereto.

Purchase of the Units by the Underwriters On the basis of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Agreement, the Company agrees to sell 30,000,000 Firm Units to the several Underwriters, and each of the Underwriters, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase the number of Firm Units set forth opposite that Underwriter’s name in Schedule I hereto. The respective purchase obligations of the Underwriters with respect to the Firm Units shall be rounded among the Underwriters to avoid fractional Units, as the Representatives may determine. In addition, the Company grants to the Underwriters the option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to purchase up to 4,500,000 Additional Units. Such Over-Allotment Option is exercisable in the event that the Underwriters sell more units than the number of Firm Units in the Offering and as set forth in Section 4 hereof. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the number of Additional Units (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional Units as the Representatives may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Additional Units to be sold on such Delivery Date as the number of Firm Units set forth in Schedule I hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Firm Units. The purchase price payable by the Underwriters for both the Firm Units and any Additional Units is $9.80 per Unit (the “Purchase Price”). The Company is not obligated to deliver any of the Firm Units or Additional Units to be delivered on the applicable Delivery Date, except upon payment for all such Units to be purchased on such Delivery Date as provided herein. In addition to the discount from the public offering price of the Units represented by the Purchase Price set forth above, the Company hereby agrees to pay to the Underwriters a deferred commission of $0.35 per Unit (including both Firm Units and Additional Units) purchased hereunder (the “Deferred Fee”), subject to Section 5(kk) herein. The Underwriters hereby agree that if no Business Combination is consummated within the time period provided in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the funds held under the Trust Agreement are distributed to the holders of the Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”), (a) the Underwriters will forfeit any rights or claims to the Deferred Fee, and (b) the trustee under the Trust Agreement is authorized to distribute the Deferred Fee to the Public Stockholders on a pro rata basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at the sole and absolute discretion of the Company, a portion of the Deferred Fee up to $0.10 per Unit in the aggregate, or up to $3,000,000 (or $3,450,000 if the Underwriters’ Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full) in the aggregate, may be paid to third parties not participating in the Offering (but who are members of FINRA or regulated broker-dealers) that assist the Company in consummating its initial Business Combination.
