If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the
per-share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share.
Our placing of funds in the trust account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against us.
Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than our independent auditors), prospective
target businessi.s or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title.
interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account for the benefit of our public
stockholders, such parties may not execute such agreements, or even if they execute such agreements they may not
be prevented from bringing claims against the trust account, including, but not limited to. fraudulent inducement,
breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the
waiver, in each case in onler to gain advantage with respect to a claim against ow assets, including the funds held
in the trust account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in
the trust account, our management will perfonn an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter
into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party's
engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative.
Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include
the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills arc believed by management to be
significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where
management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that
such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of. or arising out of, any
negotiations. contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the Rust account for any reason.
Upon redemption of our public shares, if we arc unable to

complete our business combination within the prescribed timeframe, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in
connection with our business combination, we will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that
were not waived that may be brought against us within the 10 years following redemption. Accordingly, the per-
share redemption amount received by public stockholders could be less than the $10.00 per share initially held in
the trust account, due to claims of such creditors. Paul Zepf, our Chief Executive Officer, has agreed to be liable
to us if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us. or a prospective
target business with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement. reduce the amount of funds in
the trust account to below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the trust
account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in
each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who
executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account and except as to any claims under our
indemnity of the underwriters of this offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party. Mr. Zepf
will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. We have not independently
verified whether Mr. Zepf has sufficient funds to satisfy their indemnity obligations and. therefore. Mr. Zepf may
not be able to satisfy those obligations. We have not asked Mr. Zepf to reserve for such eventuality.
Our directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of our Chief Executive Officer,
resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the trust account available for distribution to our public
stockholders.
In the event that the proceeds in the trust account arc reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per share or (ii)
other than due to the failure to obtain such waiver such lesser amount per share held in the trust account as of the
date of the liquidation of the trust account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the
interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and Mr. Zepf asserts that he is unable to satisfy his obligations or
that he has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine
whether to take legal action against Mr. Zepf to enforce his indemnification obligations. While we cunt-may
expect that ow independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against Mr. Zepf to enforce his
indenmification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business
judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. If our independent directors choose not to enforce
these indemnification obligations. the amount of funds in the trust account available for distribution to our public
stockholders may be redunal below $10.00 per share.
If, after we distribute the proceeds in the trust account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy
petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court
may seek to recover such proceeds, and the members of our board of directors may be viewed as having
breached their fiduciary duties to our creditors, thereby exposing the members of our board of directors
and us to claims of punitive damages.
lf, affix we distribute the proceeds in the trust account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy
petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by
