| (g) | This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any signature page delivered by a facsimile machine or electronic mail shall be binding to the same extent as an original signature page. |
| (h) |
Except as may be required by law, regulation or applicable stock exchange listing requirements or judicial or administrative order, unless and until the transactions contemplated hereby and the terms hereof have been publicly announced or otherwise publicly disclosed by the Sponsor, the parties hereto shall keep confidential and shall not publicly disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Investor shall be permitted to disclose any information to its affiliates and to its and their control persons, officers, directors, employees, advisors, direct or indirect owners, partners, agents and representatives, in each case so long as such person or entity has been advised of its obligation to comply with the confidentiality provisions hereunder. Investor agrees that SPAC may disclose the terms of this Agreement in the Registration Statement; however, without the prior consent of Investor, neither the SPAC nor Sponsor nor any affiliate thereof shall disclose the identity of Investor or its affiliates or principals (in any regulatory filing or otherwise) unless required by applicable law or regulation or in connection with any inquiry by a governmental authority (including any request from the Staff of the SEC) and, if so disclosed, the SPAC will provide the Investor with a reasonable opportunity to review such disclosure. |
|
Investor shall have the right to review and approve (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) any disclosure of the terms hereof in the registration statement of the SPAC relating to the IPO, and (ii) neither the SPAC nor Sponsor nor any affiliate thereof shall disclose the identity of Investor or its affiliates or principals (in any regulatory filing or otherwise), except as required by Applicable Law or pursuant to a comment from the SEC or in connection with any inquiry by a Governmental Authority, without the prior consent of Investor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. |
| (i) |
Substantially concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Sponsor is entering into separate agreements with other “anchor investors” in respect of indications of interest in purchasing units in the IPO. The Sponsor represents that the material terms of such other agreements are not more favorable to such other “anchor investors” thereunder than the terms of this Agreement. In the case that another “anchor investor” is afforded more favorable terms than Investor, the Sponsor shall promptly notify Investor of such more favorable terms, and Investor shall have the right to elect to have such more favorable terms, so as to be on the same terms, in which case the parties hereto shall promptly amend this Agreement to effect the same. For the avoidance of doubt, if any other “anchor investor” has an ability to purchase proportionately more Founders Shares relative to its expression of interest in the IPO than the Subscriber as set forth on the signature page hereto, then such other “anchor investor” shall be considered to have more favorable material terms than the Investor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) this provision does not apply to any investor that participates in the at-risk capital of the Sponsor via a meaningful investment or co-sponsorship or enters into a meaningful formal forward purchase agreement in connection with a private investment in public equity (PIPE) in support of the SPAC’s potential business combination and (ii) this provision shall not be applicable as a result of anchor investors that have expressed an interest in purchasing less than 4.9% of the units in the IPO being offered the opportunity to receive proportionally fewer Founder Shares those Investors expressing an interest in 4.9% of the units in the IPO. Neither the SPAC nor the Sponsor will waive any material obligation under the agreements with such other anchor investors unless the Investor has been offered in writing the opportunity to concurrently receive the benefit of such waiver. | |
| (j) |
The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage may occur in the event any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with the terms hereof, and that the parties shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law, in equity, or otherwise. |
