(c) No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Founder does not, and the performance by such Founder of its obligations hereunder will not, (i) conflict with or result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Founder, or (ii) require any consent or approval that has not been given or other action that has not been taken by any third party (including under any Contract binding upon such Founder or such Founder’s Subject Securities), in each case, to the extent such consent, approval or other action would prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Founder of its obligations under this Agreement.

Such Founder has been furnished or given access to adequate information concerning the business and financial condition of Purchaser and the Company to make an information decision regarding this Agreement and the Transactions and has independently and without reliance upon Purchaser or the Company and based on such information as such Founder has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Such Founder acknowledges that Purchaser and the Company have not made and do not make any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, of any kind or character except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Such Founder acknowledges that the agreements contained herein with respect to the Subject Securities held by such Founder are irrevocable and result in the waiver of any right of the undersigned to demand appraisal in connection with the Business Combination under Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and any other Law.
