NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Option. Seller hereby sells to Buyer and Buyer hereby purchases from Seller, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, at a price of *** Share (the “Option Price”), an option (the “Purchase Option”) to purchase the Shares from Seller at any time prior to the Termination of this Agreement. Within two (2) business days of this Agreement, Buyer shall pay to the order of Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the instructions set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, the aggregate Option Price.

2. Purchase. If the Buyer exercises the Purchase Option in accordance with Section 5 then at the Closing (as defined hereinafter), Seller shall sell to Buyer and Buyer shall purchase from Seller, the Shares at a price (the “Purchase Price”) equal to that certain pro rata portion of the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Amount”) due its public stockholders as set forth in the Company’s final definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the Business Combination.

3. Agreement to Vote and Redeem prior to Exercise of the Purchase Option.

(a) Vote Against; Redemption. In further consideration of the Option Price and unless withdrawn and revoked pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Seller hereby agrees that within forty-eight (48) hours of voting becoming available to holders of the Company’s common stock in connection with the proposals set forth in the Company’s proxy statement(s), Seller will: (i) exercise its Redemption Rights, (ii) vote the Shares against the Business Combination, and (iii) vote the Shares against any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, each in the manner set forth in the Company’s respective proxy statement(s) filed with the SEC, as applicable and in a timely manner.

(b) Prior Votes. If Seller has already voted in connection with any such Business Combination or amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, Seller shall either (i) withdraw and revoke its vote in favor of such Business Combination and amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the Shares or (ii) continue to vote the Shares, against any Business Combination or amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation; provided, further, that in all applicable cases, Seller shall exercise, or continue to exercise, its Redemption Rights in accordance with the proxy statement(s).

Furthermore, Seller will, from time to time as requested by Buyer, execute and deliver such further instruments, ancillary agreements or other documents or take such other actions as may be necessary or advisable to give effect to, confirm, evidence or effectuate the purposes of the proxy granted by this Section 3(c).

11. Termination.

12. Liquidated Damages. If Seller (i) terminates this Agreement for any reason, or (ii) in any way breaches Section 3 of this Agreement, Buyer will be entitled to a payment of ***, with such payment to be paid to the Buyer by Seller within one (1) business day after such termination or breach. Such payment shall be liquidated damages to compensate the Buyer for the damages it shall have sustained as a result of such breach, which the parties acknowledge are not capable of being definitively determined and not as a penalty. Nothing contained in this Section 12 shall serve to limit Buyer’s right to seek specific performance and other relief under Section 16 of this Agreement.

13. 13D Filing. Seller acknowledges and understands that by virtue of this Purchase Option, or the exercise of such Purchase Option, Buyer may be required to file a 13D with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Filing”) and hereby consents to any such Filing reasonably required in the opinion of Buyer and/or its counsel.

Each of the parties hereby waives any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.

16. Remedies Cumulative. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of any breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement by the other party, money damages may be inadequate with respect to any such breach and the non-breaching party may have no adequate remedy at law. It is accordingly agreed that each of the parties hereto shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity, to seek injunctive relief and/or to compel specific performance to prevent breaches by the other party hereto of any covenant or agreement of such other party contained in this Agreement.
