 4. Neither the undersigned, any member of the Immediate Family of the undersigned, nor any Affiliate of the undersigned will be entitled to receive, and

the Company’s behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations, as well as traveling to and from the offices, service centers or similar locations of prospective target
acquisitions to examine their operations. 
 5. The undersigned agrees that none of the undersigned, any member of the Immediate Family of
the undersigned or any Affiliate of the undersigned will be entitled to receive or accept, and the undersigned, on behalf of the undersigned and the aforementioned parties, hereby waives any rights to, a finder’s fee, consulting fee or any
other compensation, either paid by the Company or by a target business, in the event the undersigned, any member of the Immediate Family of the undersigned or any Affiliate of the undersigned originates a Business Combination. 
 6. The undersigned will, as specified in the Securities Escrow Agreement which the Company will enter into with the undersigned and an escrow agent
acceptable to the Company, escrow its, his or her Founder Shares and Founder Warrants for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the earliest of (i) one year following the consummation of a Business Combination and
(ii) the consummation of a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, asset or stock acquisition, exchangeable share transaction or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their
shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the Company consummating a Business Combination with a target business.

of the information required to be disclosed pursuant to Section 401 of Regulation S-K, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 
 8. The undersigned represents and warrants to the Company and the Underwriters that:
