          (v) Private Placement Shares: The Private Placement Shares shall have the terms set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company and the Private Placement Share Certificate attached as Exhibit F hereto. Without limiting the foregoing, the Initial Purchaser hereby expressly agrees that (i) in connection with the stockholder vote required to approve an Initial Business Combination the Initial Purchaser agrees to vote the Private Placement Shares in accordance with a majority of the shares of Common Stock voted by holders of shares of Common Stock issued in the Initial Public Offering and (ii) the Initial Purchaser agrees to waive any right to participate in any liquidation distribution to the extent set forth in Section 3.D of this Amended and Restated Agreement.

3


 

Company to be subject to such transfer restrictions, to vote the Founders’ Shares as provided in (iv) above; waive any right to participate in any liquidation distribution as provided in (iv) above and agrees to the adjustment of the New Founders’ Units as provided in (x) below. During this period, the Purchasers and their Permitted Transferees shall retain all other rights of holders of shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation, the right to vote their shares (except as described above with respect to an Initial Business Combination) and the right to receive cash dividends, if declared. If dividends are declared and payable in shares, such dividends will also be subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 1.C.(viii). In addition to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 9 hereof, the Initial Purchaser shall not sell or transfer the Private Placement Units, the Private Placement Shares, the Private Placement Subunits, the Private Placement Warrants or the shares of Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants until after the date the Company consummates its Initial Business Combination except to a Permitted Transferee, provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be subject to such transfer restrictions, to vote the Private Placement Shares as provided in (v) above and to waive any right to participate in any liquidation distribution as provided in (v) above. The Initial Purchaser acknowledges that the Private Placement Units, the Private Placement Shares, the Private Placement Subunits, the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants are subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Warrant Agreement. The .2 of a share of Common Stock and the Private Placement Warrant comprising each Private Placement Subunit will not be separable until the open of trading on the first trading day after the Company consummates its Initial Business Combination. On the open of trading on the first trading day after the Company consummates its Initial Business Combination, each Private Placement Subunit will automatically separate into .2 of a share of Common Stock and one Private Placement Warrant. Consequently, at such time each Private Placement Unit will consist of one Private Placement Share and one Private Placement Warrant.
          (ix) Registration Rights: In connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company and the Purchasers shall enter into an agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) granting the Purchasers registration rights with respect to the Securities.
          (x) Adjustment of New Founders’ Units:
               (a) If the underwriters with respect to the Initial Public Offering do not exercise the over-allotment option proposed to be granted to them by the Company, the Purchasers and any Permitted Transferees agree to forfeit to the Company for no consideration a number of New Founders’ Units necessary to represent 20% of the sum of the number of units sold in the Initial Public Offering and the number of New Founders’ Units outstanding after the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the expiration or exercise of the over-allotment option. The Purchasers and any Permitted Transferees agree to take any and all action reasonably requested by the Company necessary to effect any adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (x)(a). The Company will not make any cash or other payment to the Purchasers or any Permitted Transferees in respect of any such adjustment.
               (b) If the number of units offered to the public in connection with the Initial Public Offering is increased or decreased, the Purchasers and any Permitted Transferees agree with the Company and the Company hereby agrees with the Purchasers and any Permitted Transferees that the New Founders’ Units (including the New Founders’ Units subject to forfeiture) will be adjusted in the same proportion as the increase or decrease of the units offered to the public. The Purchasers and any Permitted Transferees agree to take any and all action reasonably requested by the Company necessary to effect any adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (x)(b); provided that the Company will not make or receive any cash or other payment to or from the Purchasers or any Permitted Transferees in respect of any such adjustment.
               (c) If more than 20%, but less than 40% of the shares underlying the units sold in the Initial Public Offering are converted by the public stockholders in connection with the

4


 

Initial Business Combination, each Purchaser will forfeit a percentage of its New Founders’ Units equal to the percentage of the shares underlying the units sold in the Initial Public Offering in excess of 20% that are converted by the public stockholders (e.g., if 30% of the shares underlying the units sold in the Initial Public Offering are converted, the Purchaser will forfeit 10% of his New Founders’ Units).
               (d) The Purchasers acknowledge and agree that any additional units it may hold pursuant to (x)(a) and (x)(b) above (A) shall be subject to the voting, waiver of liquidation, transfer restrictions and adjustment provisions set forth in this Amended and Restated Agreement, and (B) shall bear the legend set forth in Section 9.A(i) below.
Section 2. Representations and Warranties of the Company.
     As a material inducement to the Purchasers to enter into this Amended and Restated Agreement and exchange their Initial Founders’ Units for the New Founders’ Units and to purchase the Private Placement Units, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchasers as of the date hereof and the applicable Closing Date that:
     A. Organization and Corporate Power.

Section 3. Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers.
     As a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Amended and Restated Agreement and exchange the Purchasers’ Initial Founders’ Units for the New Founders’ Units and issue and sell the Private Placement Units, the Purchasers hereby individually represent and warrant to the Company as of the date hereof and the applicable Closing Date that:
     A. Capacity and State Law Compliance. The Purchasers have engaged in the transactions contemplated by this Amended and Restated Agreement within a state in which the offer and sale of the Securities is permitted under applicable securities laws. The Purchasers understand and acknowledge that the purchase of Shares upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and the Founders’ Warrants will require the availability of an exemption from registration under federal and/or state securities laws and that any sale of such Shares shall require registration or the availability of an exemption from registration under federal and/or state securities laws.
     B. Authorization; No Breach.
          (i) The execution and delivery of this Amended and Restated Agreement, the Warrant Agreement, the Founders’ Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants and performance of this Amended and Restated Agreement and the Warrant Agreement have been duly authorized by the Initial Purchaser as of the applicable Closing Date. This Amended and Restated Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of each of the Purchasers, enforceable against it or him in accordance with its terms.
          (ii) The execution and delivery by the Purchasers of this Amended and Restated Agreement and the fulfillment of and compliance with the respective terms hereof by each Purchaser does not and shall not as of the applicable Closing Date conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of the certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement of any Purchaser, or any other agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which any Purchaser is subject.
     C. Investment Representations.
          (i) Each Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for its own account, for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, any public sale or distribution thereof.
          (ii) Each Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D.
          (iii) Each Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and will be exchanged with or sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations and warranties of such Purchaser

6


 

set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire such Securities.
          (iv) None of the Purchasers decided to enter into this Amended and Restated Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
          (v) Each Purchaser has been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the exchange or offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by such Purchaser. Each Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the executive officers and directors of the Company. Each Purchaser understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. Each Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as such Purchaser has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to such Purchaser’s acquisition of the Securities.
          (vi) Each Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities by such Purchaser nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.
          (vii) Each Purchaser understands that: (a) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder or (B) sold in reliance on an exemption therefrom; and (b) except as specifically set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. In this regard, each Purchaser understands that the Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that promoters or affiliates of a blank check company and their transferees, both before and after a business combination, are deemed to be “underwriters” under the Securities Act when reselling the securities of a blank check company. Recently adopted amendments to Rule 144 expand this position by prohibiting the use of Rule 144 for resale of securities used by any shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or any issuer that has been at any time previously a shell company. The amendments to Rule 144 provide exception to this prohibition if certain conditions are met. Based on that position, Rule 144 would be available for resale transactions of New Founders’ Units, Founders’ Shares, Private Placement Units, Private Placement Subunits and Private Placement Shares without registration one year after the completion of the Initial Business Combination. Each Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time.
          (viii) Each Purchaser has such knowledge and expertise in financial and business matters, knows of the high degree of risk associated with investments generally and particularly investments in the securities of companies in the development stage such as the Company, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities in the amount contemplated hereunder. Each Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current financial needs and contingencies and will have no current or anticipated future needs for liquidity which would be jeopardized by the investment in the Securities. Each Purchaser can afford a complete loss of its investment in the Securities.
     D. Waiver of Right to Amounts in the Trust Account and Indemnification.
          (i) Each Purchaser hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distribution of the trust account established by the Company for the deposit of proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units, as a result of any liquidation

7


 

of the trust account, with respect to the Founders’ Shares and Private Placement Shares (“Claim”) and hereby waives any Claim it may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any contracts or agreements with the Company and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason whatsoever except for any amounts to which it may be entitled upon liquidation of the Company in respect of such Purchaser’s ownership of Common Stock other than the Founders’ Shares and Private Placement Shares.
          (ii) Each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the stockholders of the Company, including those who purchase the units in the Initial Public Offering, are and shall be third-party beneficiaries of the foregoing provisions of Section 3.D. of this Amended and Restated Agreement.
          (iii) Each Purchaser agrees that to the extent any waiver of rights under this Section 3.D. is ineffective as a matter of law, such 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. Each Purchaser acknowledges the receipt and sufficiency of consideration received from the Company hereunder in this regard.
Section 4. Conditions of the Purchasers’ Obligations.
     The obligation of the Purchasers to exchange their Initial Founders’ Units for the New Founders’ Units and to purchase and pay for the Private Placement Units is subject to the fulfillment, on or before the applicable Closing Date, of each of the following conditions:

No litigation, statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or injunction shall have been enacted, entered, promulgated or endorsed by or in any court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction or any self-regulatory organization having authority over the matters contemplated hereby, which prohibits the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Amended and Restated Agreement or the Warrant Agreement.
Section 5. Conditions of the Company’s Obligations.
     The obligations of the Company to the Purchasers under this Amended and Restated Agreement are subject to the fulfillment, on or before the applicable Closing Date, of each of the following conditions:
     A. Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Purchasers contained in Section 3 shall be true and correct at and as of the applicable Closing Date as though then made.
