Section 2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASER. As a material inducement to the Company and the Seller to enter into this Agreement and for the Seller to sell the Steel Founder's Units, Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Seller and the Company that: A. Capacity and State Law Compliance. Such Purchaser has engaged in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement within a state in which the offer and sale of the Steel Founder's Units is permitted under applicable securities laws. B. Authorization. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms. C. Investment Representations. (i) Such 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) Such Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D. (iii) Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and will be sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Seller and the Company are relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Purchaser's compliance with, the representations and warranties of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire such Securities. (iv) Such Purchaser did not decide to enter into this 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) Such Purchaser has been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by such Purchaser. Such Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of  the executive officers and directors of the Company. Such Purchaser understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. Such 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) Such 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) Such 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, such 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. Based on that position, Rule 144 adopted pursuant to the Securities Act would not be available for resale transactions of the Securities despite technical compliance with the requirements of such Rule, and the Securities can be resold only through a registered offering or in reliance upon another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time. (viii) Such 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. Such 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. Such 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) Such 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 Additional Founder's Warrants (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), as a result of any liquidation of the trust account, with respect to the Steel Founder's 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 Shares other than the Steel Founder's Shares. (ii) Such 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 2.D. of this Agreement.  (iii) Such Purchaser agrees that to the extent any waiver of rights under this Section 2.D. is ineffective as a matter of law, such Purchaser has offered such waiver for the benefit of the Seller and the Company as an equitable right that shall survive any statutory disqualification or bar that applies to a legal right. Such Purchaser acknowledges the receipt and sufficiency of consideration received from the Seller and the Company hereunder in this regard. Section 3. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All of the representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the purchase of the Securities hereunder. Section 4. DEFINITIONS. Terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned such terms in the Registration Statement. Section 5. MISCELLANEOUS. A. Legends. (i) The certificates evidencing the Steel Founder's Units and the Steel Founder's Shares will include the legend set forth on EXHIBITS A AND B hereto, respectively, which Purchaser has read and understands. The Steel Initial Founder's Warrants and Shares issued upon exercise of the Steel Initial Founder's Warrants (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) will include the legend set forth in EXHIBIT B to the Warrant Agreement in the case of the Warrants and in the Warrant Agreement in the case of the Shares, which Purchaser has read and understands. (ii) By accepting the Securities, Purchaser agrees, prior to any transfer of the Securities, to give written notice to the Company expressing its desire to effect such transfer and describing briefly the proposed transfer. Upon receiving such notice, the Company shall present copies thereof to its counsel and Purchaser agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until: (a) there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement, in which case the legends set forth above with respect to the Securities sold pursuant to such registration statement shall be removed; or (b) if reasonably requested by the Company, (A) Purchaser shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration of such Securities under the Securities Act, (B) the Company shall have received customary representations and warranties regarding the transferee that are reasonably satisfactory to the Company signed by the proposed transferee and (C) the Company shall have received an agreement by such transferee to the restrictions contained in the legends referred to in (i) hereof.

The parties agree that, all actions and proceedings arising out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or in a New York State Court in the County of New York and that, in connection with any such action or proceeding, submit to the jurisdiction of, and venue in, such court.
