The

common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Symphony Acquisition
Corp. (the
“Corporation”) for an aggregate purchase price of $___________ (“Purchase
Price”). The purchase and issuance of the Insider Warrants shall occur
simultaneously with the consummation of the Corporation’s initial public
offering of securities (“IPO”) which is being underwritten by the underwriters
set forth in the Company’s IPO prospectus included in the Registration
Statement, for which EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EBC”) is acting as representative.
The Insider Warrants will be sold to the undersigned on a private
placement
basis and not part of the IPO. Except as set forth herein, the Insider
Warrants shall be identical to the warrants issued in the IPO.
At
least
24 hours prior to the effective date of the registration statement
filed in
connection with the IPO (“Registration Statement”), the undersigned shall
deliver the Purchase Price to Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx (“GM”) to hold in a non-interest
bearing account until the Corporation consummates the IPO. Simultaneously
with
the consummation of the IPO, GM shall deposit the Purchase Price,
without
interest or deduction, into the trust fund (“Trust Fund”) established by the
Corporation for the benefit of the Corporation’s public stockholders as
described in the Corporation’s Registration Statement, pursuant to the terms of
an Investment Management Trust Agreement to be entered into between
the
Corporation and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company. In the event that
the IPO is not consummated within 14 days of the date the Purchase
Price is
delivered to GM, GM shall return the Purchase Price to the undersigned,
without
interest or deduction.
The
undersigned represents and warrants that he has been advised that
the Insider
Warrants (including the underlying shares of common stock) have
not been
registered under the Securities Act; that he is acquiring the Insider
Warrants
for his account for investment purposes only; that he has no present
intention
of selling or otherwise disposing of the Insider Warrants in violation
of the
securities laws of the United States; that he is an “accredited investor” as
defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities
Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); and that he is familiar with the
proposed business, management, financial condition and affairs
of the
Corporation.
Moreover,
the undersigned agrees that he shall not sell or transfer the Insider
Warrants
or any underlying securities (except
(i) to another officer or director of the Company, (ii) to relatives and trusts for estate planning purposes, (iii) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death, (iv) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or (v) to an entity’s members upon its liquidation to the extent the Insider Warrants are subsequently transferred to an entity, in each case, subject to the transferee agreeing to such transfer restrictions) until after the Corporation consummates a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating business (“Business Combination”) meeting the requirements set forth in the Registration Statement and acknowledges that the certificates for such Insider Warrants shall contain a legend indicating such restriction on transferability.
