(vi) The Purchasers understand that no United States Federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the Offering of the Securities.

D. Rescission Right, Waiver and Indemnification.
(i) Each Purchaser 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 were deemed to be a general solicitation with respect to the Warrants, the offer and sale of such Warrants may not be exempt from registration and, if not, each Purchaser may have a right to rescind his or its purchase of the Warrants. In order to facilitate the completion of the Offering, from which each Purchaser expects to benefit, and in order to protect the Company, its stockholders and the Trust Account from claims that may adversely affect the Company or the interests of the Company’s stockholders and Trust Account from claims that may adversely affect the Company or the interests of its stockholders, each Purchaser 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 the purchase of the Warrants.

Each Purchaser 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 (collectively, “Losses and Expenses”) 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.

To the extent that the foregoing indemnification by the Purchasers may be unenforceable for any reason, the Purchasers agree to make the maximum contribution permissible by applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of any Losses and Expenses relating to Claims that may or will otherwise reduce the amount in the Trust Account.
(iv) The Purchasers acknowledge and agree that the stockholders of the Company, including those who purchase the Units in the Offering, are and shall be third-party beneficiaries of the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.D of this Agreement.
(v) The Purchasers agree that to the extent any waiver of rights under this Section 4.D is ineffective as a matter of law, the Purchasers have 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 Purchasers acknowledge the receipt and sufficiency of consideration received from the Company hereunder in this regard.
