Agreement

 

1.       Sale
and Purchase.

 

(a)       Forward
Purchase Securities.

 

(i)       The
Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, that number of Class A Shares
(the “Forward Purchase Shares”), up to a maximum of 40,000,000 Class A Shares (the “Maximum Shares”),
plus that number of warrants (the “Forward Purchase Warrants” and, together with the Forward Purchase Shares,
the “Forward Purchase Securities”), up to a maximum of 13,333,333 warrants) (the “Maximum Warrants”),
in each case determined as set forth in clause 1(a)(ii), for an aggregate purchase price of $10.00 per unit (the “Forward
Purchase Price”) of one Forward Purchase Share and one-third of one Forward Purchase Warrant (each, a “Forward
Purchase Unit”), or up to a maximum of $400,000,000 in the aggregate.

 

(ii)       The
number of Forward Purchase Units to be issued and sold by the Company and purchased by the Purchaser hereunder shall equal that
number which, after payment of the aggregate Forward Purchase Price by the Purchaser, will result in gross proceeds to the Company
in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of funds necessary for the Company to consummate the Business Combination and pay related
fees and expenses, less amounts available to the Company from the Trust Account (after payment of the deferred underwriting discount
and after giving effect to any redemptions of Public Shares) and any other financing source obtained by the Company for such purpose
at or prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, plus any additional amounts mutually agreed by the Company and the
Purchaser that may be retained by the post-Business Combination company for working capital or other purposes, but in no event
shall the number of Forward Purchase Shares or Forward Purchase Warrants purchased hereunder exceed the Maximum Shares or the
Maximum Warrants, respectively.

 

(iii)       Each
Forward Purchase Warrant will have the same terms as each Private Placement Warrant, and will be subject to the terms and conditions
of the Warrant Agreement to be entered into between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Warrant
Agent, in connection with the IPO (the “Warrant Agreement”). Each Forward Purchase Warrant will entitle the
holder thereof to purchase one Class A Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described in the Warrant
Agreement, and only whole Forward Purchase Warrants will be exercisable. The Forward Purchase Warrants will become exercisable
on the later of 30 days after the Business Combination Closing and 12 months from the IPO Closing, and will expire five years
after the Business Combination Closing or earlier upon the liquidation of the Company, as described in the Warrant Agreement.
The Forward Purchase Warrants will be non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Purchaser
or its Permitted Transferees (as defined below). If the Forward Purchase Warrants are held by Persons (as defined below) other
than the Purchaser or its Permitted Transferees, the Forward Purchase Warrants will have the same terms as the Public Warrants,
as set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

 

(iv)       The
Company shall require the Purchaser to purchase the Forward Purchase Securities by delivering notice to the Purchaser, at least
five (5) Business Days before the Business Combination Closing, specifying the number of Forward Purchase Shares and Forward Purchase
Warrants the Purchaser is required to purchase, the date of the Business Combination Closing, the aggregate Forward Purchase Price
and instructions for wiring the Forward Purchase Price. The closing of the sale of Forward Purchase Securities (the “Forward
Closing”) shall be held on the same date and immediately prior to the Business Combination Closing (such date being
referred to as the “Forward Closing Date”). At least one (1) Business Day prior to the Forward Closing Date,
the Purchaser shall deliver to the Company, to be held in escrow until the Forward Closing, the Forward Purchase Price for the
Forward Purchase Securities by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company
in such notice. Immediately prior to the Forward Closing on the Forward Closing Date, (1) the Forward Purchase Price shall
be released from escrow automatically and without further action by the Company or the Purchaser, and (2) upon such release,
the Company shall issue the Forward Purchase Securities to the Purchaser in book-entry form, free and clear of any liens or other
restrictions whatsoever (other than those arising under state or federal securities laws), registered in the name of the Purchaser
(or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions), or to a custodian designated by the Purchaser, as applicable. In
the event the Business Combination Closing does not occur on the date scheduled for closing, the Forward Closing shall not occur
and the Company shall promptly (but not later than one (1) Business Day thereafter) return the Forward Purchase Price to the Purchaser.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, that is neither
a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law or regulation to close in
the City of New York, New York.

(b)       Legends.
Each book entry for the Forward Purchase Securities shall contain a notation, and each certificate (if any) evidencing the Forward
Purchase Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend, in substantially the following form:

 

“THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF
ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN VIOLATION OF SUCH ACT AND LAWS. THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION,
OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN FORWARD PURCHASE AGREEMENT
BY AND AMONG THE HOLDER AND THE COMPANY. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE
COMPANY.”

 

2.       Representations
and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company as follows, as of the date hereof:

 

(a)       Organization
and Power. The Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
formation and has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted.

 

(b)       Authorization.
The Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Purchaser,
will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with
its terms, except ii) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance
and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, iii) as limited by
laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, or iv) to the extent
the indemnification provisions contained in the Registration Rights (as defined below) may be limited by applicable federal or
state securities laws.

 

(c)       Governmental
Consents and Filings. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration
or filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority is required on the part of the Purchaser in connection with
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(d)       Compliance
with Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation by
the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in any violation or default v) of any provisions
of its organizational documents, vi) of any instrument, judgment, order, writ or decree to which it is a party or by which
it is bound, vii) under any note, indenture or mortgage to which it is a party or by which it is bound, viii) under
any lease, agreement, contract or purchase order to which it is a party or by which it is bound or ix) of any provision of
federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Purchaser, in each case (other than clause (i)), which would have
a material adverse effect on the Purchaser or its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(e)       Purchase
Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with the Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser’s representation
to the Company, which by the Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby confirms, that the Forward Purchase
Securities to be acquired by the Purchaser will be acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee
or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of any state or federal securities
laws, and that the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the
same in violation of law. By executing this Agreement, the Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser does not presently
have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person
or to any third Person, with respect to any of the Forward Purchase Securities. For purposes of this Agreement, “Person”
means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization,
any other entity or any government or any department or agency thereof.

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

(f)       Disclosure
of Information. The Purchaser has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management, financial affairs
and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Forward Purchase Securities, as well as the terms of the Company’s proposed
IPO, with the Company’s management.

 

(g)       Restricted
Securities. The Purchaser understands that the offer and sale of the Forward Purchase Securities to the Purchaser has not
been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by reason
of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona
fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. The Purchaser
understands that the Forward Purchase Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state
securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Purchaser must hold the Forward Purchase Securities indefinitely unless
they are registered with the SEC and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification
requirements is available. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Forward Purchase
Securities, or any Class A Shares for which they may be exercised, for resale, except as provided herein (the “Registration
Rights”). The Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it
may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for
the Forward Purchase Securities, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Purchaser’s control,
and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company filed
the Registration Statement for its proposed IPO. The Purchaser understands that the offering of the Forward Purchase Securities
is not and is not intended to be part of the IPO, and that the Purchaser will not be able to rely on the protection of Section
11 of the Securities Act.

 

(h)       No
Public Market. The Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Forward Purchase Securities, and that the
Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Forward Purchase Securities.

 

(i)       High
Degree of Risk. The Purchaser understands that its agreement to purchase the Forward Purchase Securities involves a high degree
of risk which could cause the Purchaser to lose all or part of its investment, and that it will be contractually obligated to
vote the Sponsor Founder Shares in favor of the Business Combination as provided herein.

 

(j)       Accredited
Investor. The Purchaser is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities
Act.

 

(k)       No
General Solicitation. Neither the Purchaser, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders or partners
has either directly or indirectly, including, through a broker or finder x) engaged in any general solicitation, or xi) published
any advertisement in connection with the offer and sale of the Forward Purchase Securities.

 

(l)       Residence.
The Purchaser’s principal place of business is the office or offices located at the address of the Purchaser set forth on
the signature page hereof.

 

(m)       Adequacy
of Financing. At the time of the Forward Closing, the Purchaser will have available to it sufficient funds to satisfy its
obligations under this Agreement.

 

(n)       Affiliation
of Certain FINRA Members. The Purchaser is neither a person associated nor affiliated with Citigroup Global Markets Inc.,
Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Goldman, Sachs & Co. or, to its actual knowledge, any other member of the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) that is participating in the IPO.

and the Purchaser Parties disclaim any such representation or warranty. Except for the specific representations and warranties

Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the Forward Purchase Securities and the Class A Shares underlying
the Forward Purchase Warrants (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”), and the Company shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to have the Forward Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof;
provided, however, that the Company’s obligations to include the Registrable Securities in the Forward Registration Statement
are contingent upon the Purchaser furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the Purchaser, the securities
of the Company held by the Purchaser and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably
requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and shall execute such documents in connection
with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations.

 

    	 	6	 

     

    

 

(b)       Indemnification.

 

(i)       The
Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser (to the extent
a seller under the Forward Registration Statement), the officers, directors, agents, partners, members, managers, stockholders,
affiliates, employees and investment advisers of the Purchaser, each person who controls the Purchaser (within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)),
and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, stockholders, agents, affiliates, employees and investment advisers
of each such controlling person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and investigation and reasonable attorneys’
fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (1) any
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Forward Registration Statement, any prospectus included
in the Forward Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary
prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (2) any violation or alleged violation by the Company
of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the
performance of its obligations under this Section 4, except to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statements,
alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based solely upon information regarding the Purchaser furnished
in writing to the Company by the Purchaser expressly for use therein. The Company shall notify the Purchaser promptly of the institution,
threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 4
of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or
on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Company.

 

(ii)       The
Purchaser shall, severally and not jointly with any other selling stockholder named in the Forward Registration Statement, indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each person who controls the Company (within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees
of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising
out of or that are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Forward Registration
Statement, any prospectus included in the Forward Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement
thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus
or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the
extent that such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding the Purchaser furnished in writing
to the Company by the Purchaser expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of the Purchaser be greater in amount
than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Purchaser upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to
such indemnification obligation.

 

(c)       Transfer.
This Agreement and all of the Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder (including the Purchaser’s obligation to
purchase the Forward Purchase Securities) may be transferred or assigned, at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part,
to one or more third parties (each such transferee, a “Transferee”). Upon any such assignment:

 

(i)       the
applicable Transferee shall execute a signature page to this Agreement, substantially in the form of the Purchaser’s signature
page hereto (the “Joinder Agreement”), which shall reflect the number of Forward Purchase Shares and Forward
Purchase Warrants to be purchased by such Transferee (the “Transferee Securities”), and, upon such execution,
such Transferee shall have all the same rights and obligations of the Purchaser hereunder with respect to the Transferee Securities,
and references herein to the “Purchaser” shall be deemed to refer to and include any such Transferee with respect
to such Transferee and to its Transferee Securities; provided, that any representations, warranties, covenants and agreements
of the Purchaser and any such Transferee shall be several and not joint and shall be made as to the Purchaser or any such Transferee,
as applicable, as to itself only; and

 

(ii)       upon
a Transferee’s execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement, the number of Forward Purchase Shares and Forward Purchase
Warrants to be purchased by the Purchaser hereunder shall be reduced by the total number of Forward Purchase Shares and Forward
Purchase Warrants to be purchased by the applicable Transferee pursuant to the applicable Joinder Agreement, which reduction shall
be evidenced by the Purchaser and the Company amending Schedule A to this Agreement to reflect each transfer and updating the
“Number of Forward Purchase Shares”, “Number of Forward Purchase Warrants”, and “Aggregate Purchase
Price for Forward Purchase Securities” on the Purchaser’s signature page hereto to reflect such reduced number of
Forward Purchase Securities, and the Purchaser shall be fully and unconditionally released from its obligation to purchase such
Transferee Securities hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement need not be amended and restated in its entirety,
but only Schedule A and the Purchaser’s signature page hereto need be so amended and updated and executed by each of the
Purchaser and the Company upon the occurrence of any such transfer of Transferee Securities.

 

    	 	7	 

     

    

 

(d)       Additional
Transfers. The Purchaser and the Company hereby covenant and agree that, in the event that any such transfer or assignment
is made pursuant to Section 4(c) above:

 

(i)       the
Purchaser shall, directly or indirectly, transfer and assign to such Transferee (the “Additional Transfers”)
a proportionate number of the Sponsor Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants (or the obligation to purchase such Private
Placement Warrants), in consideration of the payment by such Transferee to the Purchaser of the original purchase price paid by
the Purchaser for any such securities;

 

(ii)       the
Purchaser and/or the Company, as applicable, shall enter into appropriate documentation with such Transferee to effect the Additional
Transfers and, as applicable, any new issuance of any such securities pursuant to such documentation; and

 

(iii)       the
Company shall appropriately reflect any such Additional Transfers and issuances on its books and records or direct its transfer
agent to reflect any such Additional Transfers and issuances on the books and records of the Company.

 

5.       Additional
Agreements and Acknowledgements of the Purchaser.

 

(a)       Sponsor
Founder Share Lock-up; Transfer Restrictions. The Purchaser agrees that it shall not Transfer (as defined below) any Sponsor
Founder Shares or any Class A Shares into which the Sponsor Founder Shares are convertible until the earlier of xxii) one
year after the Business Combination Closing or xxiii) the date following the Business Combination Closing on which the Company
completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the
Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if, subsequent to a Business Combination, the last sale price of the Class A Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per
share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days
within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Business Combination Closing, the Sponsor Founder Shares
(and the Class A Shares into which the Sponsor Founder Shares are convertible) shall be released from the lockup referenced herein.
Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 5(a), Transfers of the Sponsor Founder Shares (and the Class A
Shares into which the Sponsor Founder Shares are convertible) are permitted (any such transferees, the “Permitted Transferees”)
(1) to the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliates or family members of any of the Company’s officers
or directors, any members of the Purchaser, or any affiliates of the Purchaser; (2) in the case of an individual, by gift
to a member of the individual’s immediate family, to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of individual’s
immediate family or an affiliate of such person, or to a charitable organization; (3) in the case of an individual, by virtue
of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (4) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified
domestic relations order; (5) by private sales or transfers made in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination
at prices no greater than the price at which the securities were originally purchased; (6) in the event of the Company’s
liquidation prior to the completion of a Business Combination; (7) in the event of the Company’s liquidation, merger,
capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having
the right to exchange their Class A Shares for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination;
(8) as a distribution to limited partners, members or stockholders of the Purchaser; (9) to the Purchaser’s affiliates,
to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the Purchaser or any of its affiliates, or to any investment manager

equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease of a call equivalent position (within the meaning of Section 16

of a Business Combination, except that Transfers of the Private Placement Warrants and Forward Purchase Warrants are permitted
to any Permitted Transferee.

 

(c)       Potential
Forfeiture. To the extent that the IPO Option is not exercised in full, the Purchaser shall forfeit to the Company for no
consideration, a number of Sponsor Founder Shares in the aggregate equal to the product of 1,800,000 multiplied by a fraction,
xxiv) the numerator of which is 7,200,000 minus the number of Public Units purchased upon the exercise of the IPO Option,
and xxv) the denominator of which is 7,200,000. The forfeiture will be adjusted to the extent that the IPO Option is not
exercised in full (or the Company increases or decreases the size of the IPO) so that the holders of the Class B Shares immediately
prior to the IPO will own an aggregate of 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock immediately after the
IPO.

 

(d)       Trust
Account.

 

(i)       The
Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is aware that the Company will establish the Trust Account for the benefit of its public

of the Company, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in respect of any Public Shares held
by it.

 

(ii)       The
Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall have no right of set-off or any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”)
to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account, and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account
that it may have now or in the future, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in respect
of any Public Shares held by it. In the event the Purchaser has any Claim against the Company under this Agreement, the Purchaser
shall pursue such Claim solely against the Company and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the property or any
monies in the Trust Account, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in respect of any Public
Shares held by it.

 

(e)       Redemption
and Liquidation. The Purchaser hereby waives, with respect to any Sponsor Founder Shares (including the Class A Shares into
which such Sponsor Founder Shares are convertible) held by it, any redemption rights it may have in connection with xxvi) the
consummation of a Business Combination, including, without limitation, any such rights available in the context of a stockholder
vote to approve such Business Combination and xxvii) any stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Charter to modify
the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Class A Shares sold in the IPO if the Company
has not consummated an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the IPO Closing or in the context of a tender offer
made by the Company to purchase Class A Shares, it being understood that the Purchaser shall be entitled to redemption and liquidation
rights with respect to any Public Shares held by it.

 

(f)       Voting.
The Purchaser hereby agrees that if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, then in connection
with such proposed Business Combination, the Purchaser shall vote any Class B Shares and Class A Shares owned by it in favor of
any proposed Business Combination.

 

(g)       No
Short Sales. The Purchaser hereby agrees that neither it, nor any person or entity acting on its behalf or pursuant to any
understanding with it, will engage in any Short Sales with respect to securities of the Company prior to the Business Combination
Closing. For purposes of this Section, “Short Sales” shall include, without limitation, all “short
sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, and all types of direct and indirect
stock pledges (other than pledges in the ordinary course of business as part of prime brokerage arrangements), forward sale contracts,
options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through
non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers.

or interpretation of this Agreement.

Law. This Agreement, the entire relationship of the parties hereto, and any litigation between the parties (whether grounded
in contract, tort, statute, law or equity) shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and interpreted pursuant to the
laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its choice of laws principles.

to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any suit, action

(m)       Severability.
The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect
the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided that if any provision of this Agreement, as applied to
any party hereto or to any circumstance, is adjudged by a governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator not to be enforceable
in accordance with its terms, the parties hereto agree that the governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator making such determination
will have the power to modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable, and/or to
delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision will then be enforceable and will be enforced.

 

(n)       Expenses.
Each of the Company and the Purchaser will bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution
and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including all fees and expenses

(o)       Construction.
The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of
intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption
or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.
Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign law will be deemed also to refer to law as amended and all rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including”
will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be
construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa,
unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,”
“hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision
unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will
have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in
any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless
of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that
such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

 

(p)       Waiver.
No waiver by any party hereto of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional
or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder
or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent occurrence.

 

(q)       Specific
Performance. The Purchaser agrees that irreparable damage may occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed
by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Company shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms
hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.
