Article II

WAIVERS

Section 2.1            Section 5.1 Waivers. Pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Agreement, the Company consents to the following actions of Investor, and the Company and Investor agree as follows:

(a)               Investor shall prepare and file, in accordance with the timing requirements set forth in the last sentence of this Section 2.1(a), with the SEC a preliminary proxy statement (the “Third Extension Proxy Statement”) to be sent to the stockholders of Investor relating to a special meeting of the stockholders of Investor (the “Third Extension Amendment Meeting”) for the purposes of (i) providing Investor’s stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of Investor Pre-Closing Common Stock in connection with the Third Extension Amendment, (ii) soliciting proxies from Investor’s stockholders to obtain the approval of amendments to the Trust Agreement and the Investor Charter as may be necessary to extend the period within which Investor must consummate a Business Combination from March 31, 2018 until a date that is determined by Investor in consultation with the Company (such amendments, the “Third Trust Agreement Amendment” and the “Third Extension Amendment,” respectively, and such approvals, the “Third Extension Amendments Approvals”) and the other matters to be voted on at a special meeting of the holders of the Investor Pre-Closing Common Stock to be called and held for such purpose. The Investor shall file the Third Extension Proxy Statement no later than February 23, 2018.

(b)               Investor shall file the definitive Third Extension Proxy Statement with the SEC and cause the Third Extension Proxy Statement to be mailed to its stockholders of record, as of the record date to be established by the Investor Board, no later than (A) in the event the preliminary Third Extension Proxy Statement is not reviewed by the SEC, (A) March 9, 2018, or (B) in the event the preliminary Third Extension Proxy Statement is reviewed by the SEC, within three (3) Business Days of receipt of oral or written notification of the completion of the review by the SEC. Investor shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Third Extension Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC under the Exchange Act as soon after filing as practicable. Investor will cause the Third Extension Proxy Statement to comply as to form in all material respects with the Exchange Act. If at any time prior to the Closing any information relating to Investor or its Affiliates, directors or officers, should be discovered by Investor that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Third Extension Proxy Statement, so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, Investor shall promptly notify the Company and the Founding Members and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Law, disseminated to the stockholders of Investor. Investor shall notify the Company promptly of, in the event the preliminary Third Extension Proxy Statement is not reviewed by the SEC, the expiration of the waiting period in Rule 14a-6(a) under the Exchange Act, in the event the preliminary Third Extension Proxy Statement is reviewed by the SEC, receipt of oral or written notification of the completion of the review by the SEC, the issuance of any stop order, or of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC and of any request by the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Third Extension Proxy Statement or for additional information and shall supply the Company with copies of all written correspondence between it or any of its or its Affiliates’ Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff, on the other hand, with respect to the Third Extension Proxy Statement or the Third Extension Amendment.

(c)               Investor shall, as soon as practicable following effectiveness of the Third Extension Proxy Statement (but in any event no later than March 30, 2018), duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Third Extension Amendment Meeting for the purpose of seeking and obtaining the Third Extension Amendments Approvals. Investor shall, through the Investor Board, recommend that its stockholders approve the Third Extension Amendments, include such recommendation in the Third Extension Proxy Statement, and use its reasonable best efforts to (i) solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of obtaining the Third Extension Amendments Approvals and (ii) take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the Third Extension Amendments Approvals. Neither the Investor Board nor any committee thereof shall make an Adverse Recommendation Change as it relates to Investor Board’s recommendation that stockholders of Investor approve the Third Extension Amendments. Investor shall adjourn or postpone the Third Extension Amendment Meeting if, as of the time for which such meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient shares of Investor Pre-Closing Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of such meeting, or if on the date of such meeting Investor has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares necessary to obtain the Third Extension Amendments Approvals. Unless the Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the obligations of the parties hereunder shall continue in full force and effect and Investor shall submit the Third Extension Amendments Approvals for stockholder approval at the Third Extension Amendment Meeting.

(d)               Upon receipt of the Third Extension Amendments Approvals, Investor shall amend its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to reflect the Third Extension Amendment and its Trust Agreement to reflect the Third Trust Agreement Amendment.

Section 2.2            Sections 5.1 and 5.2 Waivers. Pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2 of the Agreement, each of Investor and the Company consents to the other entering into the Contract set forth in Exhibit A hereto.
