(g)  Investment Representations. Seller: (i) is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act; (ii) is acquiring its portion of the Exchange Shares for itself for investment purposes only, and not with a view towards any resale or distribution of such Exchange Shares; (iii) has been advised and understands that the Exchange Shares (A) are being issued in reliance upon one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities Laws and (B) have not been and shall not be registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities Laws and, therefore, must be held indefinitely and cannot be resold unless such Exchange Shares are registered under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities Laws, unless exemptions from registration are available; (iv) is aware that an investment in Pubco is a speculative investment and is subject to the risk of complete loss; and (v) acknowledges that except as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, Pubco is under no obligation to register the Exchange Shares under the Securities Act. Seller does not have any Contract with any Person to sell, transfer, or grant participations to such Person, or to any third Person, with respect to the Exchange Shares. By reason of Seller’s business or financial experience, or by reason of the business or financial experience of Seller’s “purchaser representatives” (as that term is defined in Rule 501(h) under the Securities Act), Seller is capable of evaluating the risks and merits of an investment in Pubco and of protecting its interests in connection with this investment. Seller has carefully read and understands all materials provided by or on behalf of Pubco, Purchaser or their respective Representatives to Seller pertaining to an investment in Pubco and has consulted, as Seller has deemed advisable, with its own attorneys, accountants or investment advisors with respect to the investment contemplated hereby and its suitability for Seller. Seller acknowledges that the Exchange Shares are subject to dilution for events not under the control of Seller. Seller has completed its independent inquiry and has relied fully upon the advice of its own legal counsel, accountant, financial and other Representatives in determining the legal, tax, financial and other consequences of this Joinder and the transactions contemplated hereby and the suitability of this Joinder and the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby for Seller and its particular circumstances, and, except as set forth herein or therein, has not relied upon any representations or advice by Pubco, Purchaser or their respective Representatives. Seller acknowledges and agrees that, except as set forth in Article IV and Article V, as applicable, of the Business Combination Agreement (including the related portions of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedules), no representations or warranties have been made to Seller by or on behalf of Pubco, Merger Sub, Purchaser or any of their respective Representatives, and that Seller has not been guaranteed or represented to by any Person, (i) any specific amount or the event of the distribution of any cash, property or other interest in Pubco or (ii) the profitability or value of the Exchange Shares in any manner whatsoever. Seller: (A) has been represented by independent counsel (or has had the opportunity to consult with independent counsel and has declined to do so); (B) has had the full right and opportunity to consult with Seller’s attorneys and other advisors and has availed itself of this right and opportunity; (C) has carefully read and fully understands this Joinder and the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety and has had it fully explained to it, him or her by such counsel; (D) is fully aware of the contents hereof and the meaning, intent and legal effect thereof; and (E) is competent to execute this Joinder (and become party to the Business Combination Agreement by execution hereof) and has executed this Joinder free from coercion, duress or undue influence.

(h) Finders and Brokers. No broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission from Purchaser, Pubco, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Seller.

3

(i) Information Supplied. None of the information supplied or to be supplied by Seller expressly for inclusion or incorporation by reference: (i) in any Current Report on Form 8-K or 6-K, and any exhibits thereto or any other report, form, registration or other filing made with any Governmental Authority (including the SEC) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Joinder, the Business Combination Agreement or any Ancillary Documents; (ii) in the Registration Statement; or (iii) in the mailings or other distributions to Purchaser’s or Pubco’s shareholders and/or prospective investors with respect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Joinder or the Business Combination Agreement or in any amendment to any of documents identified in clauses (i) through (iii), will, when filed, made available, mailed or distributed, as the case may be, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller does not make any representation, warranty or covenant with respect to any information supplied by or on behalf of Purchaser or its Affiliates.

(j) Independent Investigation. Seller has conducted its own independent investigation, review and analysis of the business, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) and assets of Purchaser, Pubco and Merger Sub and acknowledges that it has been provided adequate access to the personnel, properties, assets, premises, books and records, and other documents and data of Purchaser, Pubco and Merger Sub for such purpose. Seller acknowledges and agrees that: (i) in making its decision to enter into this Joinder and become a party to the Business Combination Agreement, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, it has relied solely upon its own investigation and the express representations and warranties of Purchaser set forth in Article IV of the Business Combination Agreement (including the related portions of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedules) and in any certificate delivered to Seller pursuant the Business Combination Agreement; and (ii) none of Purchaser, the Company, Pubco, Merger Sub or their respective Representatives have made any representation or warranty as to Purchaser, the Company, Pubco or Merger Sub or this Joinder or the Business Combination Agreement, except as expressly set forth in the Business Combination Agreement (including the related portions of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedules) or in any certificate delivered to Seller pursuant thereto.

3.  Liability. The parties agree that upon executing this Joinder, Seller, as an entity only (and not any of its Non-Party Affiliates), shall only be liable to the Parties pursuant to the express terms of the Business Combination Agreement and this Joinder. Further, the parties also acknowledge that, in accordance with, and in furtherance of, Sections 10.2(a) and 10.2(b) of the Business Combination Agreement, the following Persons shall have no liability whatsoever, and be subject to no Actions, Orders, damages, costs, expenses or claims, under the Business Combination Agreement or this Joinder: (a) officers, directors, managers, employees, representatives, or contractors of the Company, Seller, Purchaser, Pubco or Merger Sub; (b) officers, directors, managers, employees, representatives or contractors of any Affiliate or related party of the Company, Seller, Pubco, Purchaser or Merger Sub, including any of their direct or indirect investors; and (c) any Affiliate or related party of the Company, Seller, Pubco, Purchaser or Merger Sub, including any of their direct or indirect investors (but for the avoidance of any doubt, in each case of clauses (a) through (c), excluding any of the foregoing Persons that are direct parties to the Business Combination Agreement and/or this Joinder).

4.  Miscellaneous. This Joinder shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof. This Joinder, the Business Combination Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, together with the other documents or instruments attached hereto or thereto or referenced herein or therein, constitutes the entire agreement by Seller with respect to the subject matter of hereof and thereof, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, by Seller with respect to its subject matter.
