The Purchaser acknowledges that the Units and the related registration rights will be deemed compensation by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and will therefore, pursuant to Rule 5110(e) of the FINRA Manual, be subject to lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the commencement of sales in the IPO, subject to certain limited exceptions to permitted transferees hereunder and in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2)(B).

6. Securities Laws Restrictions

The Purchaser agrees not to sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Securities unless, prior thereto (a) a registration statement on the appropriate form under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws with respect to the Securities proposed to be transferred shall then be effective or (b) the Company shall have received an opinion from counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such registration is not required because such transaction complies with the Securities Act and the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder and with all applicable state securities laws.

7. Waiver of Redemption Rights

In connection with the Securities purchased pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby waives any and all redemption rights (i) in connection with the Company’s completion of the Business Combination, (ii) upon the Company’s failure to complete the Business Combination within 24 months from the completion of the IPO or the liquidation of the Company prior to the expiration of such 24 month period or (iii) if the Company seeks an amendment to its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares (as defined below). In the event the Purchaser purchases ordinary shares in the IPO or in the aftermarket (“Public Shares”), such Purchase shall be eligible to redeem any Public Shares upon the same terms offered to all other holders of ordinary shares purchased in the IPO.

8. Rescission Right Waiver and Indemnification

8.1 Rescission Waiver. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act requires there be no general solicitation of purchasers of the Units. In this regard, if the Offering were deemed to be a general solicitation with respect to the Units, the offer and sale of such Units may not be exempt from registration and, if not, the Purchaser may have a right to rescind its purchase of the Units. In order to facilitate the completion of the Offering and in order to protect the Company, its shareholders and the Trust Account from claims that may adversely affect the Company or the interests of its shareholders, the Purchaser hereby agrees to waive, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any claims, right to sue or rights in law or arbitration, as the case may be, to seek rescission of its purchase of the Units as a result of the issuance of the Units being deemed to be in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees this waiver is being made in order to induce the Company to sell the Units to the Purchaser. The Purchaser agrees 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 Units hereunder or relating to the purchase of the Units and the transactions contemplated hereby.

8.2 No Recourse Against Trust Account. The Purchaser agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever in connection with its purchase of the Units or any Claim that may arise now or in the future, provided that nothing herein shall preclude Purchaser from making any Claim or seeking recourse against the funds held outside of the Trust Account or seeking payment of any deferred underwriting fee due and payable pursuant to the underwriting agreement between the Company, Cohen & Company Capital Markets, a division of Cohen & Company Securities, LLC, as representative of the underwriters, in connection with the IPO.

8.3 Section 8 Waiver. The Purchaser agrees that to the extent any waiver of rights under this Section 8 is ineffective as a matter of law, the Purchaser 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 Purchaser acknowledges the receipt and sufficiency of consideration received from the Company hereunder in this regard.

9. Terms of the Units

The Units purchased pursuant to this Agreement shall be substantially identical to the Units offered in the IPO except that the Units purchased pursuant to this Agreement (including the Class A ordinary shares and Warrants comprising such Units and the Warrant Shares) (i) will be subject to the transfer restrictions described herein; (ii) will be entitled to registration rights; (iii) with respect to the Warrants underlying the Units purchased to this Agreement, may not be exercisable more than five years from the commencement of sales in the IPO in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8); and (iv) are being purchased pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and will become freely tradable only after certain conditions are met or the resale of the Units is registered under the Securities Act.

In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or any other form of electronic delivery, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.

The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.
