This letter is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) entered into by and between Overture Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted limited liability company (the “Company”), and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., as representative of the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “IPO”) of the Company’s units (the “Units”), each Unit composed of one ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Share”), and one warrant, which is exercisable for one Ordinary Share (the “Warrants”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 3 hereof. 

In order to induce the Company and the Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the IPO and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agree with the Company as follows:

1. The undersigned agree that from the Effective Date of the Registration Statement until the earlier of (i) the consummation of an Initial Business Combination or (ii) 24 months from the Effective Date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall have the right of first review (the “Right of First Review”) with respect to business combination opportunities of the undersigned and companies or other entities which the undersigned manage or control with an enterprise value of $120 million or more. The undersigned will first offer, and will cause such companies or other entities under their management or control to first offer (subject to any fiduciary obligations the undersigned or members of management or members of the board of directors of such companies or other entities may
have), any such business combination opportunity to the Company. The undersigned will not, and will cause each company or other entity under their management or control not to, pursue such business combination opportunity unless and until a majority of the Company’s disinterested directors has determined for any reason that the Company will not pursue such opportunity.

2. Each of the undersigned has the full right and power, without violating any agreement by which he or it is bound, to enter into this letter agreement. 

3. As used herein, (i) “Effective Date” shall mean the date of the notice of effectiveness of the Registration Statement from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission; (ii) “Initial Business Combination” shall mean the effecting a merger, share capital exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more operating businesses in connection with which the Company will require that a majority of the Ordinary Shares voted by the Public Shareholders are voted in favor of such acquisition and Public Shareholders owning less than 30% of the IPO Shares exercise their redemption rights; (iii) “IPO Shares” shall mean the Ordinary Shares  underlying the Units issued in the IPO; (iv) “Public Shareholders” shall mean purchasers of Ordinary Shares in the IPO or in the secondary market,
including any of the Company’s officers or directors or their affiliates, including the undersigned, to the extent that they purchase or acquire Ordinary Shares in the IPO or the secondary market; and (v) “Registration Statement” shall mean the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-146946, originally filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on October 26, 2007) in the

 

 

 

form it became effective and including the information deemed to be a part thereof at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 

4. Each of the undersigned acknowledges and understands that the Company and the Underwriters will rely upon the agreements, representations and warranties set forth herein in proceeding with the IPO. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to render the Underwriters a representative of, or a fiduciary with respect to, the Company, its shareholders, or any creditor or vendor of the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof.

5. This letter agreement shall be binding on the undersigned and their successors and assigns. This letter agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the consummation of an Initial Business Combination and (ii) 24 months from the effective date of the Registration Statement; provided that such termination shall not relieve the undersigned from liability for any breach of this letter agreement prior to its termination.

6. This letter agreement shall be governed by and interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts formed and to be performed entirely within the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions thereof to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. 

7. No term or provision of this letter agreement may be amended, changed, waived, altered or modified except by written instrument executed and delivered by the party against whom such amendment, change, waiver, alteration or modification is to be enforced.

SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Share Purchase Agreement (as it may from time to time be amended, this “Agreement”), dated as of December 20, 2007, is made and entered into by and among John F. W. Hunt and Marc J. Blazer, (each a “Seller” and together, the “Sellers”) and Domenico De Sole (the “Buyer”). Certain capitalized terms are defined on Schedule A to this Agreement.

WHEREAS, Overture Acquisition Corp., a exempted limited liability company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), expects to consummate an initial public offering (the “Offering”) of 15,000,000 units (the “Units”), each unit comprised of one ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (each an “Ordinary Share”) and one warrant to purchase an Ordinary Share (each a “Warrant”), which may increase or decrease prior to its consummation, with an option to purchase that number of additional Units equal to 15% of the size of the Offering (the “Over-allotment Option”);

WHEREAS, the currently issued and outstanding share capital of the Company is 4,312,500 Ordinary Shares and zero preferred shares (the “Initial Shares”), of which the Sellers own an aggregate of 3,754,687 Ordinary Shares; 

WHEREAS, the Company desires that the Initial Shares represent 20% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares at the consummation of the Offering, such that the number of Initial Shares shall increase or decrease proportionally with an increase or decrease in the size of the Offering;

WHEREAS, 562,500 of the 4,312,500 Initial Shares will be subject to redemption at the Company’s option in the event that the underwriters of the Offering do not exercise the Over-allotment Option in order to remain at the 20% limit, which redemption will take place on a pro rata basis;

WHEREAS, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Sellers wish to sell an aggregate of 21,563 Ordinary Shares (“the Shares”), to the Buyer and the Buyer wishes to purchase the Shares from the Sellers, in the respective amounts set forth opposite each Seller’s name on Schedule B hereto.

AGREEMENT:

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, representations, warranties and the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending legally to be bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE BUYER

Section 2.1 Power and Authority; Enforceability. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Buyer, enforceable against the Buyer in accordance with its terms. The Buyer has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform his obligations hereunder. The Buyer has taken all actions necessary to authorize

 

 

-2-

the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of his obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and is enforceable against, the Buyer, 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). 

Section 2.2 No Violation; Necessary Approvals. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Buyer, nor the consummation or performance by the Buyer of any of transactions contemplated hereby, will:  (a) with or without notice or lapse of time, constitute, create or result in a breach or violation of, default under, loss of benefit or right under or acceleration of performance of any obligation required under any (i) law (statutory, common or otherwise), constitution, ordinance, rule, regulation, executive order or other similar authority (“Law”) enacted, adopted, promulgated or applied by any legislature, agency, bureau, branch, department, division, commission, court, tribunal or other
similar recognized organization or body of any federal, state, county, municipal, local or foreign government or other similar recognized organization or body exercising similar powers or authority (a “Governmental Body”), (ii) order, ruling, decision, award, judgment, injunction or other similar determination or finding by, before or under the supervision of any Governmental Body or arbitrator (an “Order”), or (iii) contract, agreement, arrangement, commitment, instrument, document or similar understanding (whether written or oral), including a lease, sublease and rights thereunder (“Contract”) or permit, license, certificate, waiver, notice and similar authorization (“Permit”) to which, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii), the Buyer is a party or by which the Buyer is bound or any of his assets are subject; (b) require any Consent under any Contract or organizational document to which the Buyer is a party or by which he is bound or any of his assets are subject; or (c) require any Permit under any Law or Order other than (i) required filings, if any, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and (ii) notifications or other filings with state or federal regulatory agencies after the Closing that are necessary or convenient and do not require approval of the agency as a condition to the validity of the transactions contemplated hereunder. 

Section 2.3 Investment Representations.

(a) The Buyer hereby acknowledges that an investment in the Shares involves certain significant risks. The Buyer acknowledges that there is a substantial risk that he will lose all or a portion of his investment and should be financially capable of bearing the risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time. The Buyer has no need for liquidity in his investment in the Shares for the foreseeable future and is able to bear the risk of that investment for an indefinite period. The Buyer understands that there presently is no public market for the Shares and none is anticipated to develop in the foreseeable future. The Buyer’s present financial condition is such that it is under no present or contemplated future need to dispose of any portion of the Shares subscribed for hereby to satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking,
need or indebtedness. The Buyer’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to its net worth and the investment in the Shares will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.

(b) The Buyer acknowledges that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities act, and are being sold on the basis of exemptions from

 

 

-3-

registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities acts, except those state securities acts that require registration of the Shares thereunder. Reliance on such exemptions, where applicable, is predicated in part on the accuracy of the Buyer’s representations and warranties set forth herein. The Buyer acknowledges and hereby agrees that the Shares will not be transferable under any circumstances unless the Buyer either registers the Shares in accordance with federal, state and foreign securities laws or finds and complies with an exemption under such laws. Accordingly, the Buyer hereby acknowledges that there can be no assurance that he will be able to liquidate its investment in the Shares. The Buyer understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Shares under the Securities Act or to comply with any applicable exemption under the Securities Act on
behalf of the Buyer with respect to any resale of the Shares and that the Buyer will not be able to avail itself of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act with respect to the resale of the Shares unless certain conditions are met, including the consummation of a business combination by the Company. The Buyer further understands that any certificates evidencing the Shares bear a legend referring to the foregoing transfer restrictions.

(c) In evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, the Buyer has had the opportunity to seek the advice of his legal and financial advisors, has availed himself of that right to the extent deemed appropriate, and has not relied on the advice of any Seller or any Seller’s legal and financial counsel.

(d) The Shares are being acquired solely for the Buyer’s own account, for investment purposes only, and are not being purchased with a view to or for the resale, distribution, subdivision or fractionalization thereof; and the Buyer has no present plans to enter into any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement for such resale, distribution, subdivision or fractionalization. The Buyer is not taking and will not take or cause to be taken any action that would cause the Buyer to be deemed an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act.

(e) There are substantial risk factors pertaining to an investment in the Shares. The Buyer acknowledges that the Company is an entity with limited operating history and financial resources; and the Buyer is fully able to bear the economic risks of such investment for an indefinite period, and can afford a complete loss thereof.

(f) The Buyer has been given the opportunity to (i) ask questions of and receive answers from Sellers and the Company and their designated representatives concerning the terms and conditions of the Shares, and the business and financial condition of the Company and (ii) obtain any additional information that Sellers possess or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to assist the Buyer in evaluating the advisability of the purchase of the Shares and an investment in the Company. The Buyer further represents and warrants that, prior to signing this Agreement, it has asked such questions, received such answers and obtained such information as it has deemed necessary or advisable to evaluate the merits and risks of the purchase of the Shares and an investment in the Company. The Buyer is not relying on any oral
representation made by any person as to the Company or its operations, financial condition or prospects.

 

 

-4-

(g) The Buyer understands that no federal, state or other governmental authority has made any recommendation, findings or determination relating to the merits of an investment in the Shares.

require any Permit under any Law or Order other than (i) required filings, if any, with the SEC and (ii) notifications or other filings with state or federal regulatory agencies after the Closing that are necessary or convenient and do not require approval of the agency as a condition to the validity of the transactions contemplated hereunder; or (e) trigger any rights of first refusal, preferential purchase or similar rights with respect to any of the Shares.

Section 3.3 Capitalization.

Section 3.4 Title to Securities. All of the Shares have been duly and validly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.

Section 3.5 Due Incorporation. The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation.

Section 4.10 Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto.

Section 4.11 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 Body, arbitrator, or mediator not to be enforceable in accordance with its terms, the parties hereto agree that the Governmental Body, 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.

Section 4.14 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.
