shall

2. Representations
and Warranties of the Subscriber
The
Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company that:
2.1 No
Government Recommendation or Approval.
The
Subscriber understands that no U.S. federal or state agency or similar agency
of
any other country, has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement
of
the Company or the Offering of the Warrants.
2.2 Investment
Representations.
The
Subscriber is purchasing the Warrants for its or his own account without a
view
to any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act. The Subscriber
represents that it (he) (i) is an “Accredited Investor” as that term is defined
under Rule 501 under the Securities Act; (ii) has no contract, undertaking,
agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or pledge to such
person or anyone else the Warrants, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant
Shares”
and
together with the Warrants, the “Securities”),
or
any part thereof; (iii) has sufficient knowledge and experience in business
matters to evaluate the merits and risks of the investment; (iv) has no need
for
liquidity of its or his investment and (v) would be able to bear the economic

transferred if registered under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption
from such registration requirements. The Subscriber understands that Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act is not presently available with respect
to
the Securities.
The
Subscriber acknowledges, agrees and covenants that it (he) will not engage
in
hedging transactions with regard to the Securities, unless in compliance with

of
a counsel satisfactory to the Company.
2.3 Independent
Investigation.
The
Subscriber, in making the decision to purchase the Warrants, has relied upon
an
independent investigation of the Company and has not relied upon any information
or representations made by any third parties or upon any oral or written
representations or assurances from the Company, its officers, directors or
employees or any other representatives or agents of the Company, other than
as
set forth in this Agreement. The Subscriber is familiar with the business,
operations and financial condition of the Company and has had an opportunity

and is a valid and binding agreement enforceable against the Subscriber in
accordance with its terms, subject to the general principles of equity and
to
bankruptcy or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights

Subscriber does not and will not conflict with, violate or cause a breach of
any
agreement, contract or instrument to which the Subscriber is a
party.
2.5 No
Legal Advice from Company.
The
Subscriber acknowledges that he or it has had the opportunity to review this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other

Subscriber understands that the Warrants are being offered and sold to the
Subscriber in reliance on specific provisions of U.S. federal and state
securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy

of the Subscriber set forth in this Agreement in order to determine the
applicability of such provisions.

THESE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT

4
THESE
SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO A LOCK UP AGREEMENT, WHICH IS FILED WITH THE COMPANY’S
CORPORATE BOOKS AND RECORDS.
4.2 Subscriber's
Compliance.
Nothing
in this Section 4 shall affect in any way the Subscriber's obligations and
agreement to comply with all applicable securities laws upon resale of the
Securities.
4.3 Company’s
Refusal to Register Transfer of Securities.
The
Company shall refuse to register any transfer of the Securities, not made in
accordance with (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under
the Securities Act, or (ii) pursuant to an available exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act.
5. Lock
up.
The
Subscriber shall, as specified in a Letter Agreement which the Company, Xxxxx
and Company, LLC and Maxim Group LLC will enter into with the Subscriber, lock
up the Subscriber’s Warrants for a period commencing on the date of the Letter
Agreement and ending on the earlier of (i) the consummation of a Business
Combination or (ii) the Company’s dissolution and liquidation. As used herein, a
“Business
Combination”
shall
mean any acquisition by merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition,
stock
purchase or other similar business combination consummated by the Company with
one or more small- to mid-market U.S. and/or European based operating companies
engaged in the delivery of Information Technology and Information Technology

the Subscriber hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of
any
kind in or to any liquidating distributions by the Company in the event of
a
liquidation of the Company upon the Company's failure to timely complete a
Business Combination. For purposes of clarity, in the event the Subscriber
purchases shares of Common Stock in the IPO or in the aftermarket such shares
shall be eligible to receive any liquidating distributions by the Company.
The
Subscriber shall have no conversion rights (as described in the Registration
Statement) in connection with a Business Combination.
5
7. Rescission
Right Waiver and Indemnification
7.1 The
Subscriber understands and acknowledges that an exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act requires that there be no general
solicitation of purchasers of the Warrants. In this regard, if the offering
of
the units in the Company’s initial public offering were deemed to be a general
solicitation with respect to the Subscriber’s Warrants, the offer and sale of
such Warrants may not be exempt from registration and, if not, the Subscriber
may have a right to rescind its purchases of the Subscriber’s Warrants. In order
to facilitate the completion of the placement contemplated hereby and in order
to protect the Company, its stockholders and the trust account described in
the
Registration Statement from claims that may adversely affect the Company or
the
interests of its stockholders, the Subscriber hereby agrees to waive, to the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any claims, right to xxx or rights
in law or arbitration, as the case may be, to seek rescission of its purchase
of
the Warrants. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is being
made in order to induce the Company to sell the Warrants to the Subscriber.
The
Subscriber agrees that the foregoing waiver of rescission rights shall apply
to
any and all known or unknown actions, causes of action, suits, claims, or
proceedings (collectively, “Claims”)
and
related losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, whether
compensatory, consequential or exemplary, and expenses in connection therewith,
including reasonable attorneys’ and expert witness fees and disbursements and
all other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending
against any Claims, whether pending or threatened, in connection with any
present or future actual or asserted right to rescind the purchase of the
Warrants hereunder or relating to the purchase of the Warrants and the
transactions contemplated hereby.
7.2 The
Subscriber agrees not to seek recourse against the trust account described
in
the Registration Statement for any reason whatsoever in connection with its
purchase of the Warrants or any Claim that may arise now or in the
future.
7.3 The
Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the stockholders of the Company are
and
shall be third-party beneficiaries of the foregoing provisions of this
Agreement.
7.4 The
Subscriber agrees that to the extent any waiver of rights under this Section
7
is ineffective as a matter of law, the Subscriber has offered such waiver for
the benefit of the Company as an equitable right that shall survive any
statutory disqualification or bar that applies to a legal right. The Subscriber
acknowledges the receipt and sufficiency of consideration received from the
Company hereunder in this regard.
8. Registration
Rights.
The
Subscriber shall have registration rights with respect to the Securities
pursuant to the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement to be entered into
among the Company and certain of its security holders (including the
Subscriber).

Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of

said State, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.
The Subscriber irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts
of the State of New York located in New York County and the United District
Court for the Southern District of New York. The parties hereto hereby waive
any
right to a jury trial in connection with any litigation pursuant to this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and to their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted
assigns.
