and are in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted
or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as
the case may be, would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.


 


(b)            Authorization
and Binding Obligation. The Company has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this

Stock and the Investor Warrants (as defined in the New Investor Exchange Agreements) (collectively, the “Exchange Documents”)
and to issue the Company Preferred A Shares in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. The execution and delivery of the
Exchange Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including,

enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general
principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to,
or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.

securities laws, and that they are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from such registration and qualification based
in part upon the representations of such Investor contained herein. Purchaser is acquiring the Company Preferred A Shares purchased
hereunder for its own account for investment and not with a view towards the resale, transfer or distribution thereof, nor with
any present intention of distributing such Company Preferred A Shares, in each case in violation of the 1933 Act. Purchaser has
not agreed to give any Person any interest or right in the Company Preferred A Shares.


 


(c)            Validity;
Enforcement. This Agreement and the other Exchange Documents to which Purchaser is a party have been duly and validly authorized,
executed and delivered on behalf of Purchaser and shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Purchaser enforceable
against Purchaser in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles
of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to,
or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.


 


(d)            No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of this Agreement and the other Exchange Documents to which
Purchaser is a party, and the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result
in a violation of the organizational documents of Purchaser or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with
notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration
or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which Purchaser is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any
law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to Purchaser, except
in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not, individually or
in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of Purchaser to perform its obligations
hereunder or under the other Exchange Documents to which Purchaser is a party.

(l)            Trust
Fund Waiver. Reference is made to the final prospectus of Chart dated December 13, 2012 (File No. 333-177280) (the “Prospectus”)
relating to Chart’s initial public offering (the “IPO”). Purchaser represents and warrants that Purchaser
has read the Prospectus and understands that Chart has established the Trust Fund (as defined in the Merger Agreement) containing
the proceeds of the IPO initially in the amount of at least Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000) for the benefit of Chart’s
public stockholders and certain other parties (including the underwriters of the IPO) and that Chart may disburse monies from the
Trust Fund, including any proceeds therefrom, only as provided in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of Chart agreeing to
enter into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged,
Purchaser agrees (for itself and on behalf of its affiliates and direct and indirect subsidiaries and equity holders, and its and
their respective successors and assigns, and any other Indemnitee or other Person claiming by or through Purchaser) that, notwithstanding
any provisions contained in this Agreement, Purchaser does not now have, and shall not at any time prior to the Closing Time have,
any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to, or make any claim against, the Trust Fund or any asset contained therein
(or any distribution therefrom occurring prior to the Closing Time in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreements (as defined
in the Merger Agreement)), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to,
any proposed or actual business relationship between Purchaser, on the one hand, and Chart or its subsidiaries, on the other hand,
this Agreement, any other Exchange Document or any other agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises
based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability. Purchaser (for itself and on behalf of its affiliates and
direct and indirect subsidiaries and equity holders, and its and their respective successors and assigns, and any other Indemnitee
or other Person claiming by or through Investor) hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights, titles, interests and claims of
any kind that Purchaser may have, now or in the future (in each case, however, prior to the Closing Time), and shall not take any
action or suit, make any claim or demand or seek recovery of any liability, indebtedness, guaranty, endorsement, claim, loss, damage,
deficiency, cost, expense, obligation or other recourse against, the Trust Fund (or any distribution therefrom occurring prior
to the Closing Time in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreements) for any reason whatsoever in respect thereof. Purchaser
agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by Chart and its
affiliates to induce them to enter into this Agreement. Investor further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding
and enforceable under applicable law. To the extent that Purchaser commences any action, litigation or other legal proceeding (a
“Proceeding”) based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Chart, which
Proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against Chart, Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees Purchaser’s
sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Fund and that such claim shall not permit Purchaser (or any party
claiming on Purchaser’s behalf or in lieu of Purchaser) to have any claim against the Trust Fund or any amounts contained
therein (or any distribution therefrom occurring prior to the Closing in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreements). In
the event that Purchaser commences any Proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating
to Chart, which Proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Fund (or any distribution therefrom occurring prior
to the Closing in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreements) or Chart’s public stockholders, whether in the form
of money damages or injunctive relief, Chart shall be entitled to recover from Purchaser the associated legal fees and costs in
connection with any such Proceeding in the event Chart prevails in such action or Proceeding. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing
in this Section 16(l) shall affect the right of Purchaser or its direct or indirect subsidiaries or equity holders, or its or their
respective successors or assigns, or any other Indemnitee or other Person claiming by or through Purchaser, to redeem any issued
and outstanding securities of Chart held by such Person in accordance with the Prospectus and Chart’s certificate of incorporation,
as amended.
