NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

 

1.             Purchase of Founder Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, at the Closing, the Buyers hereby agree to purchase from each Seller, and each Seller hereby agrees to sell, transfer and assign to the Buyers, free and clear of any (a) lien, charge, pledge, tax, security interests, option, warrant, purchase right, contract, commitment, claim, derivative right, voting trust, community property interest, transfer restriction or other encumbrance or charge of any kind or nature, whether direct or indirect incurred by such Seller and (b) liability, obligation, debt or claim of any kind or nature, whether known or unknown, asserted or unasserted, absolute or contingent, accrued or unaccrued, liquidated or unliquidated, or due or to become due, the Founder Shares being sold by such Seller, including the rights to any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, if and when declared, in the amounts set forth on Exhibit A hereof at the Purchase Price Per Founder Share, which Exhibit A shall be updated promptly following each Closing.

 

2.             Closing. The purchase of the Founder Shares from each Seller (each a “Closing” and collectively the “Closings”) will occur at times that are mutually agreeable to the parties on the signature pages hereof, which Closings shall not occur prior to the first business day following the later of the filing by the Company of (i) all of its Federal, state and local tax returns for the calendar year 2016 (with the exception of any franchise tax due) and (ii) its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2016 (the “Closing Date” or “Closing Dates”). In connection with each Closing, it shall be a condition to the obligations of the Buyers on the one hand and each Seller participating in such Closing on the other hand, that the other party’s representations and warranties are true and correct on the relevant Closing Date with the same effect as though made on such date, unless waived in writing by the party to whom such representations and warranties are made.

 

2.1           At or before each Closing, each Seller participating in such Closing shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Buyers (i) a stock certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”) representing the Founder Shares transferred hereunder duly endorsed for transfer or with duly executed stock powers attached, or (ii) affidavits of lost stock certificate representing the Founder Shares transferred hereunder with duly executed stock powers attached.

2.2           At each Closing, the Buyers shall deliver or cause to be delivered to each Seller participating in such Closing all amounts owed hereunder, which shall be determined by multiplying the total number of Founder Shares being sold by such Seller or Sellers by the Purchase Price Per Founder Share, by payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with Section 1 of this Agreement.

 

3.           Representations and Warranties of the Seller.

The Seller has had access to and reviewed all of the filings made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in each case to the extent available publicly accessible via the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (“EDGAR”).

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Seller will not result in any violation of any statute, rule or regulation to which such Seller is subject, or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, an event that results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the Founder Shares.

 

(d)             Ownership. The Seller is, or will be, as of the date hereof and the date of the relevant Closing, the legal and beneficial owner of his, her or its Founder Shares, free and clear of all liens, charges, claims and encumbrances, and such Seller will transfer to the Buyers good and marketable title to his, her or its Founder Shares. There are no outstanding or authorized options, warrants, rights, calls, commitments, conversion rights, rights of exchange or other agreements of any character, contingent or otherwise, providing for the purchase, issuance or sale of any of the Founder Shares, or any arrangements that require or permit any of the Founder Shares to be voted by or at the discretion of anyone other than such Seller. Other than this Agreement, the Seller is not a party to any agreements to sell or otherwise transfer the Founder Shares being sold pursuant hereto. There are no restrictions of any kind on the transfer of the Founders Shares being sold pursuant hereto, except those imposed by the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws.

This Agreement is made with the Buyer in reliance upon such Buyer’s representation, which by such Buyer’s execution of this Agreement, the Buyer hereby confirms, that the Founder Shares to be acquired will be acquired for such Buyer’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that such Buyer has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.

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

 

8.             Remedies. 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 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.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersedes and cancels any prior agreements, representations, warranties, whether oral or written, among the parties hereto relating to the transaction contemplated hereby.
