Exhibit 10.10


 


WARRANTS PURCHASE
AGREEMENT


 


THIS WARRANTS PURCHASE
AGREEMENT, dated as of February 29, 2016 (as it may from time to time be amended and including all exhibits referenced herein,
this “Agreement”), is entered into by and between KLR Energy Acquisition Corp, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (the “Purchaser”).


 


WHEREAS, the Company
intends to consummate a public offering of the Company’s units (the “Public Offering”), each unit consisting
of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (a “Share”), and one warrant.
Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Share. The Purchaser has agreed to purchase
an aggregate of 666,667 warrants (or up to 766,667 warrants if the over-allotment option in connection with the Public Offering
is exercised in full) (the “EBC Warrants”), each EBC Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Share at an
exercise price of $11.50 per Share.


 


NOW THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby, intending legally to be bound, agree as follows:


 


AGREEMENT


 


Section 1. Authorization, Purchase
and Sale; Terms of the EBC Warrants.


 


A. Authorization
of the EBC Warrants. The Company has duly authorized the issuance and sale of the EBC Warrants to the Purchaser.


 


B. Purchase
and Sale of the EBC Warrants.


 


(i) As payment in full
for the 666,667 EBC Warrants being purchased under this Agreement, Purchaser shall pay $500,000 (the “Purchase Price”),
by wire transfer of immediately available funds or by such other method as may be reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the
trust account (the “Trust Account”) at a financial institution to be chosen by the Company, maintained by Continental
Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee (“Continental”), or into an escrow account maintained
by Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP (“EG&S”), counsel for the Company, at least one (1) business day prior
to the date of effectiveness of the registration statement to be filed in connection with the Public Offering (the “Registration
Statement”).


 


(ii) In the event that
the over-allotment option is exercised in full or in part, Purchaser shall purchase up to an additional 100,000 EBC Warrants (the
“Additional EBC Warrants”), in the same proportion as the amount of the over-allotment option that is exercised,
and simultaneously with such purchase of Additional EBC Warrants, as payment in full for the Additional EBC Warrants being purchased
hereunder, and at least one (1) business day prior to the closing of all or any portion of the over-allotment option, Purchaser
shall pay $0.75 per Additional EBC Warrant, up to an aggregate amount of $75,000, by wire transfer of immediately available funds
or by such other method as may be reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the Trust Account.


 


(iii) The closing of
the purchase and sale of the EBC Warrants shall take place simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering (the “Initial
Closing Date”). The closing of the purchase and sale of the Additional EBC Warrants, if applicable, shall take place
simultaneously with the closing of all or any portion of the over-allotment option (such closing date, together with the Initial
Closing Date, each, a “Closing Date”). The closing of the purchase and sale of each of the EBC Warrants and
the Additional EBC Warrants shall take place at the offices of EG&S, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York, 10105,
or such other place as may be agreed upon by the parties hereto.


 


C. Terms
of the EBC Warrants.


 


(i) The EBC Warrants
shall have their terms set forth in a Warrant Agreement to be entered into by the Company and a warrant agent, in connection with
the Public Offering (a “Warrant Agreement”). Additionally, the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it and
its designees will not be permitted to exercise any EBC Warrants after the five year anniversary of the effective date of the Registration
Statement.


 






     


     


    




 


(ii) At or prior
to the time of the Initial Closing Date, the Company and the Purchaser shall enter into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration
Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company will grant certain registration rights to the Purchaser relating to
the EBC Warrants and the Shares underlying the EBC Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”); provided, however, that
the Purchaser may not exercise its demand and “piggy back” registration rights pursuant to such Registration Rights
Agreement after five (5) and seven (7) years after the effective date of the Registration Statement, respectively, and the Purchaser
may not exercise its demand registration rights thereunder more than one time.


 


D. Lock-up.
The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares shall not be transferable, saleable or assignable
until 30 days after the consummation of an initial business combination by the Company, except to permitted transferees. The Warrants
and the Warrant Shares will be deemed compensation by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and will
therefore be subject to lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement
or commencement of sales of the Public Offering, subject to certain limited exceptions, pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1) of the FINRA
Manual. Accordingly, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for 180
days immediately following the effective date of the Registration Statement except to any underwriter or selected dealer participating
in the Public Offering and the bona fide officers or partners of the Purchaser and any such participating underwriter or selected
dealer nor may they be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic
disposition of the securities by any person during such 180-day period.


 


Section 2. Representations
and Warranties of the Company.  As a material inducement to the Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and purchase the
EBC Warrants, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser (which representations and warranties shall survive the
Closing Dates) that:


 


A. Organization

C. Investment
Representations.


 


(i) The Purchaser
is acquiring the EBC Warrants and, upon exercise of the EBC Warrants, the Shares issuable upon such exercise (collectively, the

(ii) The Purchaser
is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D.


 


(iii) The 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 Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy
of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to
determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire such Securities.

the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by the Purchaser. The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity

informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of the Securities.

nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.


 






     


     


    




 


(vii) The 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 (1) subsequently registered thereunder or (2) 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.


 


(viii) The Purchaser
has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, knowledge of the high degree of risk associated with 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 for an indefinite period of time. The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current financial needs and contingencies
