1.1. Purchase and Issuance of the Private Units.
(a) | Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Subscriber hereby agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to sell to each Subscriber, on the initial Closing Date (as defined below) the number of Initial Private Units set forth next to each Subscriber’s name on Schedule A hereto in consideration of the payment of the Initial Purchase Price. On the initial Closing Date, the Company shall, at its option, deliver to each Subscriber the certificates representing the Securities purchased by such Subscriber or effect such delivery in book-entry form. |
(b) | Each Subscriber hereby agrees to purchase up to the amount of Additional Private Units set forth on Schedule A hereto at $10.00 per Additional Private Unit. The purchase and issuance of the Additional Private Units shall occur only in the event that the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full or in part. The total number of Additional Private Units to be purchased hereunder shall be in the same proportion as the proportion of the Over-Allotment Option that is exercised. Each purchase of Additional Private Units shall occur simultaneously with the consummation of any portion of the Over-Allotment Option. |
1
(a) | As payment in full for the Initial Private Units being purchased under this Agreement, each Subscriber shall pay the amount set forth next to each Subscriber’s name on Schedule A hereto (the “Initial Purchase Price”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds or by such other method as may be reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the trust account (the “Trust Account”) at a financial institution to be chosen by the Company, maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee (“Continental”), on or prior to the initial Closing Date. |
(b) | As payment in full for the Additional Private Units being purchased under this Agreement, each Subscriber shall pay $10.00 per Additional Private Unit being purchased by wire transfer of immediately available funds or by such other method as may be reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the Trust Account at a financial institution chosen by the Company, maintained by Continental, on or prior to the Closing Date of the Over-Allotment Option. |
2. Representations and Warranties of the Subscribers.
Each Subscriber individually represents and warrants to the Company only as to such Subscriber that:
2.1. No Government Recommendation or Approval. Subscriber understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Company or the Sale of the Securities.
2.2. Accredited Investor. Subscriber represents that it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and acknowledges that the sale contemplated hereby is being made in reliance, among other things, on a private placement exemption to “accredited investors” under the Securities Act and similar exemptions under state law.
2
The Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and, if in the future Subscriber decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Securities, such Securities may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, (ii) pursuant to an exemption from registration under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, if available, or (iii) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state or any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscriber acknowledges and understands the Securities are subject to transfer restrictions as described in Section 8 hereof. Subscriber agrees that if any transfer of its Securities or any interest therein is proposed to be made, as a condition precedent to any such transfer, Subscriber may be required to deliver to the Company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company with respect to such transfer. Absent registration or another available exemption from registration, Subscriber agrees it will not resell the Securities (unless otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms hereof). Subscriber further acknowledges that because the Company is a shell company, Rule 144 may not be available to Subscriber for the resale of the Securities until the one year anniversary following consummation of the Business Combination of the Company, despite technical compliance with the requirements of Rule 144 and the release or waiver of any contractual transfer restrictions.
(a) | Subscriber is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Securities. |
(b) | Subscriber is aware that an investment in the Securities is highly speculative and subject to substantial risks because, among other things, (i) the Securities are subject to transfer restrictions and have not been registered under the Securities Act and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available and (ii) Subscriber has waived its redemption rights with respect to the Securities as set forth in Section 5 hereof, and the Securities held by Subscriber are not entitled to, and have no right, interest or claim to any monies held in the Trust Account, and accordingly Subscriber may suffer a loss of a portion or all of its investment in the Securities. Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time. |
2.6. Organization and Authority. Subscriber is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation or formation and it possesses all requisite power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
2.10. Reliance on Representations and Warranties. Subscriber understands the Private Units are being offered and sold to Subscriber in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements under the Securities Act,
3
and analogous provisions in the laws and regulations of various states, and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Subscriber set forth in this Agreement in order to determine the applicability of such provisions.
3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company.
The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each Subscriber that:
4
any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency or self-regulatory entity in order for it to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or issue the Private Units, Private Shares, Private Warrants or Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof.

4.3. Company’s Refusal to Register Transfer of the Securities.
