4.7 Accredited Investor Status. The Recipient is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, as promulgated under the Securities Act.

4.8 Reliance on Exemptions. The Recipient understands that the Transferred Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities Laws and that the SPAC and Sponsor are relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Recipient’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Recipient set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Recipient to acquire the Transferred Securities.

4.9 Information; Risk. The Recipient and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the SPAC and Sponsor and other information the Recipient deemed material to making an informed investment decision regarding its purchase of Transferred Securities hereunder, which have been requested by the Recipient and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the SPAC and Sponsor concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Transferred Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Transferred Securities; (ii) access to information about each of the SPAC and Sponsor and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that each of the SPAC and Sponsor possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. The Recipient has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in investing, business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Transferred Securities and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Recipient has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Transferred Securities. Without limiting the foregoing, the Recipient has carefully considered the potential risks relating to each of the SPAC and Sponsor and a purchase of Transferred Securities hereunder, and fully understands that the Transferred Securities are a speculative investment that involves a high degree of risk of loss of the Recipient’s entire investment and the Recipient is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Transferred Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

4.10 Brokerage Fees. There is no Person acting on behalf of the Recipient who is entitled to or has any claim for any financial advisory, brokerage or finder’s fee or commission in connection with the execution of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Article VI
INDEMNIFICATION

6.1 Survival. The respective representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement, and all indemnification obligations with respect thereto, will survive Closing until the date upon which the SPAC completes a Business Combination; provided, however, that the representation contained in Section 3.15 shall not survive Closing. The covenants and agreements made by the Parties in this Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including any rights arising out of any breach of such covenants or agreements, will not survive the Closing, except for those covenants and agreements contained herein and therein that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing (which such covenants will survive the Closing and continue until fully performed in accordance with their terms).

6.2 Indemnification by Sponsor. Subject to the further provisions of this Article VI, Sponsor will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its Representatives, and their respective heirs, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of all Losses imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by or asserted against any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, directly or indirectly relating to or arising out of any of the following (collectively, “Purchaser Losses”): (a) any fact or circumstance that constitutes a breach of any representation or warranty of Sponsor contained herein, and (b) any act or omission that constitutes a breach of any covenant or agreement of Sponsor contained herein; provided, however, that in no event shall the amount of Purchaser Losses payable by Sponsor exceed the Purchase Price.

6.3 Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the further provisions of this Article VI, Purchaser will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sponsor and its Representatives, and their respective heirs, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Sponsor Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of all Losses imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by or asserted against any of the Sponsor Indemnified Parties, directly or indirectly relating to or arising out of any of the following (collectively, “Sponsor Losses”): (a) any fact or circumstance that constitutes a breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained herein, and (b) any act or omission that constitutes a breach of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser contained herein.

6.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Notice of Claim. If a claim for Losses is to be made by a Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party will give written notice to the Sponsor (the “Indemnifying Party”) as soon as practicable after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Losses for which indemnification may be sought under this Article VI, which notice will specify the basis of the claim and be accompanied by all supporting documentation then in the possession of the Indemnified Party (the “Notice of Claim”). In the case of a dispute over the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to pay the claim or over the amount of Losses, the parties will use reasonable efforts to resolve the matter internally on an expeditious basis and in any event within forty-five (45) days after the Notice of Claim is received by the Indemnifying Party. No delay in or failure to give a Notice of Claim by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section will adversely affect any of the other rights or remedies that the Indemnified Party has under this Agreement or alter or relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party, except to the extent that such delay or failure has prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(b) Defense of Third Party Claims. If any lawsuit or enforcement action is asserted or filed against any Indemnified Party, the Notice of Claim with respect thereto to be delivered under Section 6.4(a) will be given to the Indemnifying Party within ten (10) days after the service of the citation or summons. After such Notice of Claim, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled, if it so elects, at its own cost and expense: (A) to take control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action, (B) to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the same unless the named parties to such action or proceeding include both an Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, in which event the Indemnified Party will be entitled, at the Indemnifying Party’s reasonable cost, risk and expense, to separate counsel of its own choosing, and (C) to compromise or settle such claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will not be entitled to assume control of such defense (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Indemnified Party), if (1) the Notice of Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (2) the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would create a conflict of interest such that counsel to the Indemnifying Party could not reasonably represent the interests of the Indemnified Party, (3) upon petition by the Indemnified Party, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such claim, or (4) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that the Loss relating to the Notice of Claim would be reasonably expected to exceed the maximum amount that such Indemnified Party could then be entitled to recover under the applicable provisions of this Agreement; in each of which case (1)-(4) the Indemnified Party may employ counsel of its own choosing, which counsel will be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party. In no event will any party settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any claim, action or lawsuit on a basis that would result in the imposition of a consent, order, injunction, license or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the other party or any Affiliate thereof (or grant a license to any Intellectual Property Rights thereof) without the consent of such other party, which consent may be withheld for any reason.

(c) The Indemnified Party will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost, also participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom. The parties will cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice of Claim, the Indemnified Party against which such claim has been asserted will (upon delivering notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake, at the Indemnifying Party’s reasonable cost and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that such claim will not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(d) If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the claim, the Indemnified Party will keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement and permit the Indemnifying Party to participate, at its own cost and expense, in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom.

6.5 Recovery

(a) To the extent that any Purchaser Losses become payable to any Purchaser Indemnified Party, Purchaser may elect to require the Sponsor to pay such Purchaser Losses by transferring to the Purchaser that number of Retained Shares to Purchaser that is equal to the amount obtained by dividing (1) the aggregate amount of such Purchaser Losses by (2) the fair market value of the Retained Shares on the date on which such Purchaser Losses are finally determined.

(b) To the extent that any Sponsor Losses become payable to any Sponsor Indemnified Party, Sponsor may elect to require the Purchaser to pay such Sponsor Losses by transferring to the Sponsor that number of Transferred Shares to Sponsor that is equal to the amount obtained by dividing (1) the aggregate amount of such Sponsor Losses by (2) the fair market value of the Transferred Shares on the date on which such Sponsor Losses are finally determined.

(c) The “fair market value of the Retained Shares will be mutually agreed upon by Sponsor and Purchaser or, if they are unable to reach agreement within fifteen (15) days after the date on which Purchaser Losses are finally determined, by an investment bank selected by the Purchaser and Sponsor. If Sponsor and Purchaser are unable to agree upon an outside valuation expert, each of Sponsor and Purchaser will select an investment bank, which investment bank will select a third investment bank, which third investment bank will determine the fair market value. If Sponsor or Purchaser fails to select an investment bank within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the fifteen (15) day period referenced above, then the fair market value will be determined by the outside valuation expert selected by the party that made a selection within such thirty (30) day period. In the case of 6.5(a), Purchaser will pay 100% of the fees and expenses of any investment bank but all of such fees and expenses will be added to the Purchaser Losses. In the case of 6.5(b), Sponsor will pay 100% of the fees and expenses of any investment bank but all of such fees and expenses will be added to the Sponsor Losses.
