The Subscriber acknowledges that certain information provided by BMRG was based on projections, and such projections were prepared based on assumptions and estimates that are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections.

The Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Subscribed Shares, and the Subscriber has had an opportunity to seek, and has sought, such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Subscriber has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision.
(j) The Subscriber has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Subscribed Shares and determined that the Subscribed Shares are a suitable investment for the Subscriber and that the Subscriber is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of the Subscriber’s investment in BMRG. The Subscriber acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

6
(p) The Subscriber is not (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program, (ii) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R.

(the “BSA”), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), the Subscriber maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. To the extent required, the Subscriber maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List. The Subscriber also represents that, to the extent required, the Subscriber maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by the Subscriber and used to purchase the Subscribed Shares were legally derived.

7. Registration of Subscribed Shares.
(a) BMRG agrees that, prior to the Closing Date, BMRG will file with the SEC (at BMRG’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Subscribed Shares (the “Registration Statement”), and BMRG shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective upon the Closing, but no later than sixty (60) calendar days following the Closing Date (the “Effectiveness Deadline”), provided, that the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date if the Registration Statement is reviewed by, and receives comments from, the SEC. BMRG will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to the Subscriber for review at least two (2) business days in advance of filing the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents BMRG from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Subscribed Shares by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Subscribed Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Subscribed Shares as is permitted by the SEC. In such event, the number of Subscribed Shares to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders. BMRG agrees that BMRG will cause such Registration Statement to remain effective until the earlier of (i) two years from the issuance of the Subscribed Shares, (ii) the date on which all of the Subscribed Shares shall have been sold, or (iii) on the first date on which the Subscriber can sell all of its Subscribed Shares (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such securities that may be sold.
7
(b) BMRG further agrees that, in the event that the Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Effectiveness Deadline (a “Registration Default” and the date on which such Registration Default occurs, a “Default Date”), then in addition to any other rights may have hereunder or under applicable law, on the Default Date and on each monthly anniversary of such Default Date (if the Registration Default shall not have been cured by such date) until the Registration Default is cured, BMRG shall pay to Subscriber an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty (“Liquidated Damages”), equal to 1.0% of the Purchase Price paid by Subscriber pursuant to this Subscription Agreement for any Subscribed Shares held by Subscriber on the Default Date; provided, however, that if Subscriber fails to provide BMRG with any information requested by BMRG that is required to be provided in such Registration Statement with respect to such Subscriber as set forth herein, then, for purposes of this Section 7, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended until two (2) Business Days following the date of receipt by BMRG of such required information from Subscriber; and in no event shall BMRG be required hereunder to pay to such Subscriber pursuant to this Subscription Agreement an aggregate amount that exceeds 12.0% of the Purchase Price paid by Subscriber for its Subscribed Shares. The Liquidated Damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro-rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of a Registration Default, except in the case of the first Default Date. BMRG shall deliver the cash payment to Subscriber with respect to any Liquidated Damages by the fifth Business Day after the date payable. If BMRG fails to pay said cash payment to Subscriber in full by the fifth Business Day after the date payable, BMRG will pay interest thereon at a rate of 5.0% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law, and calculated on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days) to Subscriber, accruing daily from the date such Liquidated Damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall preclude Subscriber from pursuing or obtaining any available remedies at law, specific performance or other equitable relief with respect to this Section 7 in accordance with applicable law.
(c) For as long as the Registration Statement shall remain effective pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, BMRG will file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the Subscriber to resell the Subscribed Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 of the Securities Act (when Rule 144 of the Securities Act becomes available to BMRG), as applicable, qualify the Subscribed Shares for listing on the applicable stock exchange, and update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include the Subscribed Shares. The Subscriber agrees to disclose its beneficial ownership, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, of Subscribed Shares to BMRG (or its successor) upon request to assist BMRG in making the determination described above. BMRG’s obligations to include the Subscribed Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Subscriber furnishing in writing to BMRG such information regarding the Subscriber, the securities of BMRG held by the Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Subscribed Shares as shall be reasonably requested by BMRG to effect the registration of the Subscribed Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as BMRG may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations. The Subscriber shall not be entitled to use the Registration Statement for an underwritten offering of Subscribed Shares. BMRG may delay filing or suspend the use of any such registration statement if it determines that in order for the registration statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, or if such filing or use could materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of BMRG or would require premature disclosure of information that could materially adversely affect BMRG (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, that, (i) BMRG shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of the Registration Statement for a period of more than ninety (90) consecutive days or more than two (2) times in any three hundred sixty (360) day period and (ii) BMRG shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such registration statement available for the sale by the Subscriber of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter. Upon receipt of any written notice from BMRG (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding BMRG) of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, the Subscriber agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Subscribed Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until the Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which BMRG agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by BMRG that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by BMRG unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by BMRG, the Subscriber will deliver to BMRG or, in the Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares in the Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent the Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

(d) BMRG shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Subscription Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Subscriber (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), the officers, directors, agents, partners, members, managers, stockholders, affiliates, employees and investment advisers of the Subscriber, each person who controls the Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, stockholders, agents, affiliates, employees and investment advisers of each such controlling person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”) that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by BMRG of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 7, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding the Subscriber furnished in writing to BMRG by the Subscriber expressly for use therein. BMRG shall notify the Subscriber promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 7 of which BMRG is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Subscribed Shares by the Subscriber. Notwithstanding the forgoing, BMRG’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of BMRG (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(e) The Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly with any other subscriber in this offering, indemnify and hold harmless BMRG, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each person who controls BMRG (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding the Subscriber furnished in writing to BMRG by the Subscriber expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of the Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Subscriber upon the sale of the Subscribed Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The Subscriber shall notify BMRG promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 7 of which the Subscriber is aware. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Subscriber’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

8. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (a) such date and time as the Business Combination Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms and (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement; provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such breach.

(b) The Subscriber hereby agrees that neither it, nor any person or entity acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it, shall execute any short sales or engage in other hedging transactions of any kind with respect to securities of BMRG during the period of the date of this Subscription Agreement through the Closing.

Upon the effectuation of such waiver, modification, amendment or termination with the consent of the Required Subscribers in conformance with this Section 10(g), such amendment, modification, waiver or termination shall be binding on all Subscribers and effective as to all of the Subscription Agreements. BMRG shall promptly give written notice thereof to Subscriber if Subscriber has not previously consented to such amendment, modification, waiver or termination in writing; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such amendment, modification, waiver or termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) no amendment, modification or waiver shall be effective against any Subscriber unless such amendment, modification or waiver applies to all Subscribers equally, (ii) any amendment, modification or waiver that has a disproportionate effect on a Subscriber (considered apart from any disproportionate effect owing to the number of Subscribed Shares held by such Subscriber), shall require the consent of such Subscriber, (iii) any amendment to Section 5(h) or Section 7 of this Subscription Agreement shall require the consent of the undersigned Subscriber and (iv) any amendment to Section 5, Section 10(d), this Section 10(g) and Section 11 may not be amended, terminated or waived in a manner that is material and adverse to any Placement Agent without the written consent of such Placement Agent.
