(b) Effective Registration.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.01(a) above or any other part of this Agreement, a Registration pursuant

with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration has been declared effective by the Commission and (ii) the Company
has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, however, that if, after such
Registration Statement has been declared effective, an offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration

(if any) to include its Registrable Securities in such Registration shall be conditioned upon such Investor’s participation in such
Underwritten Offering and the inclusion of such Investor’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering to the extent provided
herein. All such Investors proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this Section 2.01(c) shall
enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the majority-in-interest

prior to the filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus
or any document that is to be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or Prospectus, furnish a copy thereof to each
seller of such Registrable Securities or its counsel;

 

(i) notify the Investors
at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening
of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a Misstatement,
and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.04 hereof;

 

(j) permit a representative
of the Investors (such representative to be selected by a majority of the participating Investors), the Underwriters, if any, and any
attorney or accountant retained by such Investors, or Underwriter to participate, at each such person’s own expense, in the preparation
of the Registration Statement, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested
by any such representative, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however,
that such representative, or Underwriters enter into a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information;

 

(k) obtain a “cold
comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Registration
which the participating Investors may rely on, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold
comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the
participating Investors;

 

(l) on the date the Registrable
Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company
for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Investors, the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if

and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the participating Investors;

 

(m) in the event of any
Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing

first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement which satisfies the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated
thereafter by the Commission);

 

    11

     

    

 

(o) if the Registration
involves the Registration of Registrable Securities involving gross proceeds in excess of $25,000,000, use its reasonable efforts to make
available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested
by the Underwriter in any Underwritten Offering; and

 

(p) otherwise, in good
faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Investors, in connection with
such Registration.

 

Section 3.02
Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by
the Investors that the Investors shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’
commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration
Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Investors.

 

Section 3.03
Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity
securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (a) agrees to sell such
person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (b) completes and executes
all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents
as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

 

Section 3.04
Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus
contains a Misstatement, each of the Investors shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received
copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare
and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the
Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement
in respect of any Registration at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such
Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the
Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Investors, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend
use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than 30 days, determined in good faith by the
Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Investors agree
to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in
connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Investors of the expiration
of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.04.

 

    12

     

    

 

Section 3.05
Reporting Obligations. As long as any Investor shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be
a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable
grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Investors with true and complete copies of all such filings. The Company further covenants
that it shall take such further action as any Investor may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable
such Investor to sell Ordinary Shares held by such Investor without Registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the
exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission),
including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Investor, the Company shall deliver to such Investor a written certification
of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

 

Section 3.06
Limitations on Registration Rights. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) Cantor may not exercise their
rights under Sections 2.01 and 2.02 hereunder after five (5) and seven (7) years after the effective date of the registration
statement relating to the Company’s initial public offering, respectively, and (ii) Cantor, the other underwriters in the Offering
and/or their designees may not exercise their rights under Section 2.01 more than one time.

 

ARTICLE IV
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

 

Section 4.01
Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Investor of Registrable
Securities, its officers and directors and each person who controls such Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of
material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto
or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Investor expressly
for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such Underwriters
(within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the
Investor.

 

Section 4.02
Indemnification by Investors. In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor of Registrable Securities
is participating, such Investor shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests
for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company,
its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue
statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement
thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but
only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such
Investor expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and
several, among such Investors of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Investor of Registrable Securities shall be in
proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration
Statement. The Investors of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls
such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification
of the Company.

 

    13

     

    

 

Section 4.03
Indemnification Procedures. Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (a) give prompt written notice to the
indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall
not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying
party) and (b) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying
parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any
settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party
who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than
one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any
indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect
to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter
into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party
pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant
or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

Section 4.04
Effect of Investigation. The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless
of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified
party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Investor holding Registrable Securities participating in an offering
also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the
Company’s or such Investor’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

 

Section 4.05
Contribution. If the indemnification provided under Section 4.01 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable
or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to
herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question,
including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made
by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified
party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however,
that the liability of any Investor under this Section 4.05 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by
such Investor in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other
liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.01, Section 4.02
and Section 4.03 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with
any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.05
were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to in this Section 4.05. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 4.05 from any person who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation.

in part, to any transferee.

(which may be accomplished by an addendum or certificate of joinder to this Agreement). Any transfer or assignment made other than as

of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (which majority interest must include the underwriters in the Offering if such amendment
or modification affects in any way the rights of the underwriters in the Offering hereunder), compliance with any of the provisions, covenants
and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified;
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one
Investor, solely in its capacity as a holder of the shares of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from the other Investors
(in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Investor so affected. No course of dealing between any Investor or the Company and
any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of a Investor or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this
Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Investor or the Company. No single or partial exercise of any rights

PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

THIS PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS
PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of July 15, 2021 (as it may from time to time be amended, this “Agreement”), is entered
into by and between StoneBridge Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), and StoneBridge
Acquisition Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company is a blank
check formed for the purpose of acquiring one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”);

 

WHEREAS, the Company intends
to consummate an initial public offering of the Company’s units (the “Public Offering”), with each unit (each,
a “Unit”) consisting of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per ordinary share (each,
a “Share”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant, with each whole warrant (each, a “Warrant”)
entitling the holder to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Share; and

 

WHEREAS, the Purchaser has agreed
to purchase, at a price of $1.00 per Warrant, an aggregate of 7,000,000 Warrants (or up to 7,750,000 redeemable Warrants if the over-allotment
option in connection with the Public Offering is exercised in full) (the “Private Placement Warrants”).

 

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

 

		1.	Authorization, Purchase and Sale; Terms of the Private Placement Warrants.

 

	 	(a)	Authorization of the Private Placement Warrants. The Company has duly authorized the issuance and sale of the Private Placement Warrants to the Purchaser.

 

	 	(b)	On the date of the consummation of the Public Offering or on such earlier time and date as may be mutually agreed by the Purchaser and the Company (the “Initial Closing Date”), the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, 7,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $7,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”), which shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company on the Initial Closing Date in accordance with the Company’s wiring instructions after the date of effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-253641) filed in connection with the Public Offering (the “Registration Statement”). On the Closing Date, following the payment by the Purchaser of the Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company, the Company, at its option, shall either deliver a certificate evidencing the Private Placement Warrants purchased on such date duly registered in the Purchaser’s name to the Purchaser, or effect such delivery in book-entry form.

 

    1

     

    

 

	 	(c)	On the date of the consummation of each closing (if any) of the over-allotment option in connection with the Public Offering or on such earlier time and date as may be mutually agreed by the Purchaser and the Company (each such date, an “Over-allotment Closing Date”, and, each Over-allotment Closing Date (if any) together with the Initial Closing Date, being sometimes referred to herein as a “Closing Date”), the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, an aggregate of up to 750,000 Private Placement Warrants, in the same proportion as the amount of the over-allotment option that is then so exercised, at a price of $1.00 per warrant for an aggregate purchase price of up to $750,000 (if the over-allotment option in connection with the Public Offering is exercised in full) (the “Over-allotment Purchase Price”), which shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company on such Over-allotment Closing Date in accordance with the Company’s wiring instructions. On the Over-allotment Closing Date, following the payment by the Purchaser of the Over-allotment Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company, the Company, at its option, shall either deliver a certificate evidencing the Private Placement Warrants purchased on such date duly registered in the Purchaser’s name to the Purchaser, or effect such delivery in book-entry form.

 

	 	(d)	Terms of the Private Placement Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants shall have their terms set forth in a Warrant Agreement entered into by the Company and a warrant agent, in connection with the Public Offering (a “Warrant Agreement”). At the time of the closing of the Public Offering, 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 Private Placement Warrants and the Shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants, substantially in the form attached as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.                     

 

	 	(d)	Terms of the Private Placement Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants shall have their terms set forth in a Warrant Agreement entered into by the Company and a warrant agent, in connection with the Public Offering (a “Warrant Agreement”). At the time of the closing of the Public Offering, 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 Private Placement Warrants and the Shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants.

	 	(b)	Authorization; No Breach.

 

	 	(i)	The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Private Placement Warrants have been duly authorized by the Company as of the Closing Date. This Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms. Upon each issuance in accordance with, and payment pursuant to, the terms of this Agreement, the Private Placement Warrants (and underlying securities) will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms.

 

	 	(ii)	The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the Private Placement Warrants, the issuance and sale of the Private Placement Warrants, the issuance of the Shares upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and compliance with, the respective terms hereof and thereof by the Company, do not and will not as of each Closing Date: (A) conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, (B) constitute a default under, (C) result in the creation of any lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance upon the Company’s share capital or assets under, (D) result in a violation of, or (E) require any authorization, consent, approval, exemption or other action by or notice or declaration to, or filing with, any court or administrative or governmental body or agency pursuant to the memorandum and articles of association of the Company (in effect on the date hereof or as may be amended prior to completion of the contemplated Public Offering), or any material law, statute, rule or regulation to which the Company is subject, or any agreement, order, judgment or decree to which the Company is subject, except for any filings required after the date hereof under federal or state securities laws.

Upon issuance in accordance with and payment pursuant to the terms hereof memorandum and articles of association of the Company and registration in the register of members of the Company, the Private Placement Warrants will be duly and validly issued as fully paid and non-assessable. On the date of issuance of the Private Placement Warrants the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants shall have been reserved for issuance. Upon issuance in accordance with, and payment pursuant to, the terms hereof, the Purchaser will have good title to the Private Placement Warrants, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances of any kind, other than (A) transfer restrictions hereunder and under the other agreements contemplated hereby, (B) transfer restrictions under federal and state securities laws, and (C) liens, claims or encumbrances imposed due to the actions of the Purchaser.

 

    3

     

    

 

	 	(c)	Governmental Consents. No permit, consent, approval or authorization of, or declaration to or filing with, any governmental authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement or the consummation by the Company of any other transactions contemplated hereby.

 

	 	(d)	Regulation D Qualification. Neither the Company nor, to its actual knowledge, any of its officers, directors or beneficial shareholders of 20% or more of its outstanding securities, has experienced a disqualifying event as enumerated pursuant to Rule 506(d) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

		3.	Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. As a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement and issue and sell the Private Placement Warrants to the Purchaser, the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company (which representations and warranties shall survive each Closing Date) that:

 

	 	(a)	Organization and Requisite Authority. The Purchaser is a limited liability company duly formed, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, operating results or assets of the Purchaser. The Purchaser possesses all requisite limited liability company power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

	 	(b)	Authorization; No Breach.

 

	 	(i)	This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or law).

	 	(c)	Investment Representations.

 

	 	(i)	The Purchaser is acquiring the Private Placement Warrants, for the Purchaser’s own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, any public sale or distribution thereof.

 

	 	(ii)	The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and the Purchaser has not experienced a disqualifying event as enumerated pursuant to Rule 506(d) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

	 	(iii)	The Purchaser understands that the Private Placement Warrants are being offered and will be sold to the Purchaser 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 Private Placement Warrants.

 

	 	(iv)	The Purchaser decided to enter into this Agreement not as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

	 	(v)	The 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 Private Placement Warrants which have been requested by the Purchaser. The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the executive officers and directors of the Company. The Purchaser understands that its investment in the Private Placement Warrants involves a high degree of risk and it has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of the Private Placement Warrants.

 

	 	(vi)	The 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 Private Placement Warrants or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Private Placement Warrants by the Purchaser nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Private Placement Warrants.

	 	(vii)	The Purchaser understands that: (A) the offer and sale of the Private Placement Warrants has not been and is 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) the offer and sale of the Private Placement Warrants is 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 offer and sale of the Private Placement Warrants under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. The Private Placement Warrants will bear a legend and appropriate “stop transfer” instructions (or an appropriate notation if securities are issued in book entry form) relating to the foregoing. The Purchaser further 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 an initial 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 Private Placement Warrants until the 1-year anniversary following consummation of a Business Combination despite technical compliance with the requirements of Rule 144, unless the following conditions are met: (i) the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company; (ii) the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; (iii) the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and (iv) at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

 

	 	(viii)	The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, knows 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 Private Placement Warrants and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Private Placement Warrants 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 and will have no current or anticipated future needs for liquidity which would be jeopardized by the investment in the Private Placement Warrants. The Purchaser can afford a complete loss of its investment in the Private Placement Warrants.
