CERTAIN OF THE COMPANY’S FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND DATA CONTAINED
HEREIN AND IN THE EXHIBITS HERETO ARE UNAUDITED AND/OR WERE PREPARED BY THE COMPANY AS A PRIVATE COMPANY IN ACCORDANCE WITH GENERALLY
ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES OF BRAZIL AND DO NOT CONFORM TO SEC REGULATION S-X. FURTHERMORE, THEY INCLUDE CERTAIN FINANCIAL

ACCORDINGLY, SUCH INFORMATION AND DATA WILL BE ADJUSTED AND PRESENTED DIFFERENTLY IN GGAC’S PRELIMINARY AND DEFINITIVE PROXY
STATEMENTS TO SOLICIT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION. GGAC AND THE COMPANY BELIEVE THAT THE PRESENTATION OF NON-GAAP
MEASURES PROVIDES INFORMATION THAT IS USEFUL TO INVESTORS AS IT INDICATES MORE CLEARLY THE ABILITY OF THE COMPANY TO MEET CAPITAL
EXPENDITURES AND WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND OTHERWISE MEET ITS OBLIGATIONS AS THEY BECOME DUE. THE COMPANY DERIVES EBITDA
BY TAKING EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST, TAXES, DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION AS ADJUSTED FOR CERTAIN ONE-TIME NON-RECURRING ITEMS AND
EXCLUSIONS.
THE COMPANY’s FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS HAVE BEEN PREPARED IN BRAZILIAN REAIS. FINANCIAL information AND DATA OF THE COMPANY PRESENTED IN THIS REPORT IN U.S.
DOLLARS is BASED ON A CONVERSION RATIO of US$0.4257:R$1.00, the average CONVERSION ratio for 2014.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report and the exhibits
hereto are not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect
of the proposed transaction. This report and the exhibits hereto shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an
offer to buy the securities of GGAC or THE COMPANY, nor shall there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction
in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of
such state or jurisdiction. The ORDINARY shares OF GGAC offered in the private placement have not been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from
registration requirements.
This report and the exhibits
hereto include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. THE COMPANY’S actual results may differ from its expectations, estimates and projections and,
consequently, you should not rely on these forward looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,”
“estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,”
“plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,”
“potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, GGAC’S and THE COMPANY’S expectations with respect to
future performance, anticipated financial impacts of the BUSINESS COMBINATION and related transactions; approval of the BUSINESS
COMBINATION and related transactions by security holders; the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the BUSINESS COMBINATION
and related transactions; and the timing of the completion of the BUSINESS COMBINATION and related transactions.
These forward-looking statements
involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results.
Most of these factors are outside the parties’ control and difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences
include: business conditions; weather and natural disasters; changing interpretations of GAAP; outcomes of government reviews;
inquiries and investigations and related litigation; continued compliance with government regulations; legislation or regulatory
environments, requirements or changes adversely affecting the business in which the company is engaged; fluctuations in customer
demand; management of rapid growth; intensity of competition from other APPAREL RETAILERS; general economic conditions; and geopolitical
events and regulatory changes. Other factors include the possibility that the BUSINESS COMBINATION does not close, including due
to the failure to receive required security holder approvals, or the failure TO SATISFY other closing conditions.
The foregoing list of factors
is not exclusive. Additional information concerning these and other risk factors is contained in GGAC’S most recent filings
with the SEC. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning GGAC and THE COMPANY, the BUSINESS COMBINATION,
the related transactions or other matters and attributable to GGAC and THE COMPANY or any person acting on their behalf are expressly
qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date made. Neither GGAC nor THE COMPANY undertakeS or acceptS any obligation or undertaking
to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in their expectations or any
change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This amendment No. 1 to
the Current Report on Form 8-K originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 27, 2015 is being filed
solely to replace Exhibit 2.1, the original version of which contained certain non-material errors. Except for replacing Exhibit
2.1, no changes have been made to the original Current Report.
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
General; Structure of Business Combination
On August 26,
2015, Garnero Group Acquisition Company, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“GGAC”), entered into an Investment
Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) by and among GGAC, Q1 Comercial de Roupas S.A., a Brazilian company (the
“Company”), Alvaro Jabur Maluf Junior and Paulo Jabur Maluf (the “Controlling Persons”) and
the persons listed under the caption “Optionholder” on the signature pages thereto (the “Optionholders”).
Headquartered in São Paulo, the Company
is one of Brazil’s leading retailers focusing on menswear, with over 400 stores throughout the country. The Company has recently
diversified from formalwear into smart casual clothes and has strengthened its online presence to become, according to Exame Magazine,
one of the three most valuable brands within the Brazilian apparel retail sector.
Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, (A) the
Controlling Persons will contribute all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company (the “Outstanding
Shares”) to GGAC (the “Share Contribution”) and will receive in consideration an aggregate of 5,460,000
newly issued ordinary shares of GGAC (“GGAC Ordinary Shares”) and (B) the Optionholders will exercise certain
options held by them, will contribute the underlying ordinary shares of the Company to GGAC (the “Option Contribution,”
and together with the Share Contribution, the “Equity Contributions”), and will receive in consideration an
aggregate of 540,000 GGAC Ordinary Shares. The number of GGAC Ordinary Shares to be received by the Controlling Persons and the
Optionholders is subject to the EBITDA Adjustment, as described below. In addition, at the closing of the transactions contemplated
by the Investment Agreement (the “Closing”) and immediately after the completion of the Equity Contributions,
GGAC will contribute to the Company, as a capital increase, an aggregate of R$120,000,000 in cash (the “Capital Contribution,”
and together with the Equity Contributions, the “Contributions”), which amount shall be used by the Company
to immediately repay certain indebtedness of the Company and to release certain liens on the Outstanding Shares.
If the Contributions are consummated, the Company
will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of GGAC, GGAC will change its name to “Garnero Colombo Inc.” and the former stockholders
and management of the Company will own approximately 25% of the outstanding GGAC Ordinary Shares (assuming no holder of GGAC Ordinary
Shares exercises his redemption rights as set forth in GGAC’s charter documents and the Controlling Persons make the full
US$30 million of open market purchases and/or purchases in the Private Placement as described below).
The Contributions are expected to be consummated
in the fourth quarter of 2015, assuming the required approval of the GGAC shareholders is obtained and certain other conditions,
as described herein and in the Investment Agreement, are satisfied or waived.
The following summaries of the Investment Agreement
and the other agreements to be entered into by the parties in connection with the business combination are qualified in their entirety
by reference to the text of the agreements, certain of which are attached as exhibits hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
Private Placement; Open Market Purchases
In connection with the transactions contemplated
by the Investment Agreement, GGAC and the Company will use their commercially reasonable best efforts to consummate, simultaneously
with the Closing, a private placement of up to US$100,000,000 of equity securities, or securities exercisable or exchangeable for,
or convertible into, equity securities, of GGAC (the “Private Placement”), with the assistance of a syndicate
of financial institutions that have been identified and agreed to by GGAC and the Company.
In addition, the Controlling Persons have committed
to use their commercially reasonable best efforts to purchase, directly or indirectly, at least US$30 million of GGAC Ordinary
Shares in the open market. To the extent the Controlling Persons make less than US$30 million in open market purchases, the Controlling
Persons, directly or indirectly, will purchase an amount of securities in the Private Placement equal to such deficiency.
Lock-Up
Simultaneously with
the execution of the Investment Agreement, the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders entered into lockup agreements (the “Lockup
Agreements”) with GGAC, pursuant to which they agreed not to sell any of the GGAC Ordinary Shares received by them in
connection with the Investment Agreement for one year after the closing, subject to certain exceptions.
Registration Rights
At the Closing, GGAC, the Controlling Persons,
the Optionholders, certain of GGAC’s founders and the representative of the underwriters in GGAC’s initial public offering
will enter into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, no later than 30 days following the Closing, GGAC will prepare and file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-3, or other appropriate form,
covering the resale of the Registrable Securities (as defined below), and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the registration
statement to be declared effective and remain effective on a continuous basis until all Registrable Securities have been sold.
Following the expiration of the lockup period under the Lockup Agreements, in addition to ordinary resales under the registration
statement in the public trading markets, the holders of the Registrable Securities will be entitled to sell the Registrable Securities
in underwritten public offerings under the registration statement, so long as any such underwritten public offering is for at least
US$10 million of the Registrable Securities in the aggregate. The holders of the Registrable Securities also will have certain
customary “piggyback” registration rights.
The “Registrable Securities”
include the GGAC Ordinary Shares sold prior to GGAC’s initial public offering, all of the units (and underlying GGAC Ordinary
Shares and warrants) sold in a private placement concurrently with GGAC’s initial public offering or issuable upon conversion
of working capital loans made by the insiders of GGAC since the closing of the initial public offering, all of the GGAC Ordinary
Shares and warrants underlying the unit purchase option granted to the representative of the underwriters in GGAC’s initial
public offering and all of the GGAC Ordinary Shares issued to the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders under the Investment
Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Registrable
Securities held by the Controlling Persons and Optionholders will remain subject to the Lockup Agreement.
EBITDA Adjustment; Indemnification; Escrow
The GGAC Ordinary Shares payable to the Controlling
Persons and Optionholders are subject to adjustment based on the Company’s future EBITDA performance (the “EBITDA
Adjustment”). If the Company’s EBITDA for the twelve months ending December 31, 2016, as determined in accordance
with the Investment Agreement, is less than R$155,000,000, the Controlling Persons and Optionholders have agreed to surrender to
GGAC for cancellation 50,000 GGAC Ordinary Shares for each R$1,000,000 of such deficiency, up to a maximum of 300,000 of the Escrow
Shares (as defined below) and pro-rata for partial amounts. In case the Company’s EBITDA for such period is lower than R$149,000,000,
the remaining 300,000 of the original number of Escrow Shares will be surrendered to GGAC for cancellation.
In addition, the Controlling Persons and the
Optionholders, on one hand, and GGAC, on the other hand, have agreed to indemnify and hold each other harmless for certain inaccuracies
or breaches of the representations and warranties or for the non-fulfillment or breach of certain covenants and agreements contained
in the Investment Agreement, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement. GGAC’s rights to indemnification
are limited to the number of Escrow Shares, subject to certain exceptions. The Controlling Persons and Optionholder’s rights
to indemnification are limited to a number of newly issued GGAC Ordinary Shares equal to the number of Escrow Shares.
To provide a fund for payment to GGAC with respect
to its post-closing rights to indemnification under the Investment Agreement, and to provide security for the Controlling Persons
and Optionholders obligation to surrender shares in connection with the EBITDA Adjustment, there will be placed in escrow (with
an independent escrow agent) an aggregate of 600,000 of the GGAC Ordinary Shares issuable to the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders
under the Investment Agreement (the “Escrow Shares”). On the date that is the later of (i) 30 days after the
date on which the Company delivers to GGAC its audited financial statements for its 2016 fiscal year and (ii) the date the EBITDA
Adjustment is finally determined in accordance with the Investment Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall release 300,000 of the original
number of Escrow Shares, less that number of Escrow Shares applied in satisfaction of, or reserved with respect to, indemnification
claims made prior to such date, and less that number of Escrow Shares surrendered or to be surrendered to the Company in satisfaction
of the EBITDA Adjustment, to the owners thereof. The remaining Escrow Shares shall be available for indemnification only with respect
to Tax Indemnification Claims (as defined in the Investment Agreement). On the date that is 30 days after the date on which the
Company delivers to GGAC its audited financial statements for its 2017 fiscal year, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the remaining
shares held in escrow, less any of such shares applied in satisfaction of, or reserved with respect to, a Tax Indemnification Claim
made prior to such date, to the owners thereof. Any Escrow Shares reserved with respect to any unresolved claim for indemnification
and not applied as indemnification with respect to such claim upon its resolution shall be delivered to such owners promptly upon
such resolution.
No amount for indemnification will be payable
by an indemnifying party (i) unless and until the aggregate amount of all indemnifiable losses otherwise payable exceeds US$600,000
(the “Deductible”), in which event the amount payable shall be the full amount (and not just the amount in excess
of the amount of the Deductible), and (ii) unless the amount of all indemnifiable losses otherwise payable on any single claim
or series of related claims exceeds US$30,000 (except such amounts will count toward the Deductible), in each case subject to certain
exceptions.
Reorganization
Prior to the Closing, the Controlling Persons
will use their commercially reasonable best efforts to effect a reorganization in accordance with the Investment Agreement (the
“Reorganization”), as a result of which the Controlling Persons will become the direct owners of all of the
outstanding ordinary shares of the Company, the Company will not incur any indebtedness, other than indebtedness not exceeding
US$50,000,000 in the aggregate, and the Company will have accrued goodwill amortizable under applicable tax law in the amount of
R$200,000,000.
Company Option Exercises
Simultaneously with the execution of the Investment
Agreement, the Optionholders delivered irrevocable instructions to exercise their options in full at the Closing and an instrument
of assignment directing the underlying ordinary shares of the Company to be issued in the name of GGAC (the “Irrevocable
Instructions”).
Representations and Warranties

AGREEMENT
THIS
INVESTMENT AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of August 26, 2015, by and among Garnero Group Acquisition Company, a Cayman
Islands company (“GGAC”), Q1 Comercial de Roupas S.A., a Brazilian company (the “Company,”
or after the Closing (as defined in Section 1.2 hereof), the “Surviving Corporation”), Alvaro Jabur
Maluf Junior and Paulo Jabur Maluf (the “Controlling Persons”) and the persons listed under the caption “Optionholder”
on the signature pages hereto (the “Optionholders”). The term “Agreement” as used herein
refers to this Investment Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time, and all schedules and exhibits hereto (including
the Company Schedule and the GGAC Schedule, as defined in the preambles to Articles II and III hereof, respectively). Capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 10.2 hereof.
RECITALS
A. The
Controlling Persons, directly and indirectly through Persons wholly owned by the Controlling Persons (“Controlling Person
Affiliates”), collectively own ordinary shares of the Company (“Company Ordinary Shares”) representing
one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company as of the date hereof.
B. Following
the execution of this Agreement (but in any event prior to the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1.2 hereof)), the Controlling
Persons, certain Controlling Person Affiliates and the Company shall effect a reorganization (the “Reorganization”),
of which the Company shall be the surviving entity and pursuant to which the Company Ordinary Shares shall remain the sole class
or series of capital stock of the Company authorized or outstanding and the Controlling Persons shall become the direct owners
of all of the issued and outstanding Company Ordinary Shares (the “Outstanding Shares”).
C. The
Optionholders collectively own all of the issued and outstanding Company Options (as defined in Section 2.3 hereof), representing
the right to purchase an aggregate of 4,737,600 Company Ordinary Shares (the “Option Shares,” and together
with the Outstanding Shares, the “Shares”). The Optionholders have delivered irrevocable instructions to exercise
in full their Company Options at the Closing Date.
D. The
Company was advised by UBS Securities LLC and UBS Brasil Serviços de Assessoria Financeira Ltda. as financial advisors
to the transaction set forth in this Agreement.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
Article
I
THE INVESTMENT
1.1 Contribution
of Shares.
(a) Upon
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, the Controlling Persons shall contribute,
assign, transfer and deliver the Outstanding Shares to GGAC, free and clear of any Liens, except with respect to such Liens described
in Schedule 1.1(a) hereto, which shall be released upon repayment of the indebtedness set forth on Schedule 5.26
hereto in accordance with the Release Letter (as defined in Section 5.26 hereof) (the “Share Contribution”),
and shall receive in consideration an aggregate of five million four hundred and sixty thousand (5,460,000) new ordinary shares,
par value $0.0001 per share, of GGAC (“GGAC Ordinary Shares”) free and clear of any Liens. The value of the
Share Contribution shall be equivalent to the acquisition cost of the Outstanding Shares by the Controlling Persons as defined
upon completion of the Reorganization (the “Share Consideration”). The Share Consideration shall be allocated
and delivered to each Controlling Person, as provided in Schedule 1.1(a)(i) hereto (as amended or supplemented at the Closing
Date).
(b) Upon
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, the Optionholders shall exercise the Company
Options and contribute, assign, transfer and deliver the Option Shares to GGAC, free and clear of any Liens, except with respect
to such Liens described in Schedule 1.1(a) hereto, (the “Option Contribution,” and together with the
Share Contribution, the “Equity Contributions”), and shall receive in consideration an aggregate of five hundred
and forty thousand (540,000) GGAC Ordinary Shares, free and clear of any Liens (the “Option Consideration,”
and together with the Share Consideration, the “Investment Consideration”). The Option Consideration shall
be allocated and delivered to each Optionholder, as provided in Schedule 1.1(b) hereto.
(c) Certificates
evidencing the Share Consideration and Option Consideration shall bear customary transfer restrictions and shall note the restrictions
and obligations set forth in Section 1.9 hereof.
(d) Upon
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing and immediately after the completion of the
transactions mentioned in (a) and (b) above, GGAC shall contribute to the Company, as a capital increase, an aggregate of One
Hundred and Twenty Million Brazilian Reais (R$120,000,000) in cash (the “Capital Contribution,” and together
with the Equity Contributions, the “Contributions”) and shall receive in consideration an aggregate of new
ordinary shares of the Company as defined upon completion of the Reorganization free and clear of any Liens (the “Company
New Shares”), which amount shall be used by the Company to immediately repay the indebtedness set forth in Schedule
5.26 hereto and to release the Liens on the Outstanding Shares.
(e) EBITDA
Adjustment.
(i) If
the Company’s EBITDA in Brazilian Reais for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 (“Actual EBITDA Amount”),
as determined in accordance with this Agreement, is less than One Hundred and Fifty-Five Million Brazilian Reais (R$155,000,000)
(the “Estimated EBITDA Amount”), the Controlling Persons and Optionholders shall surrender to the Company for
cancellation, pro rata in proportion to the number of GGAC Shares issued to each such Controlling Person and Optionholder hereunder,
a number of GGAC Ordinary Shares (the “EBITDA Shares”) corresponding to Fifty thousand (50,000) GGAC Ordinary
Shares for each One Million Brazilian Reais (R$1,000,000) difference between the Estimated EBITDA Amount and the Actual EBITDA
Amount, limited to 300,000 of the original number of Escrow Shares (as defined below) (the “EBITDA Variance”),
and pro-rata for partial amounts; provided, however, that the number of EBITDA Shares shall in no event exceed the
number of Escrow Shares (as defined in Section 1.6 hereof) and the requirement to surrender the EBITDA Shares to the Company
shall be satisfied solely from the Escrow Shares (the “EBITDA Adjustment”). In case the Actual EBITDA Amount
is lower than One Hundred and Forty-Nine Million Brazilian Reais (R$149,000,000), the Controlling Persons shall surrender to the
Company for cancellation the remaining 300,000 of the original number of Escrow Shares (as defined below). In case the Actual
EBITDA Amount is greater than One Hundred and Fifty-Five Million Brazilian Reais (R$155,000,000), the Escrow Agent shall release
300,000 of the original number of Escrow Shares (as defined below), according to the procedure set forth in Section 1.6
below.
(ii) The
Surviving Corporation shall deliver to the Committee and the Representative (each as defined in Section 1.7 hereof) a written
statement of the Actual EBITDA Amount by March 31, 2017, which shall (1) provide such detailed information as may be reasonably
requested by the Committee or the Representative prior to such date with respect to the Actual EBITDA Amount, (2) be derived utilizing
generally accepted accounting principles, consistent with the Company’s historical practice and (3) be certified as being
true and complete by an executive officer of the Surviving Corporation.
(iii) If
the Committee or the Representative (the “Disputing Party”) disagrees with the Actual EBITDA Amount and the
EBITDA Variance, it shall notify the Company and the other party (the “Non-Disputing Party”) of such disagreement
in writing specifying in reasonable detail any and all items of disagreement (each, an “Item of Dispute”) within
ten (10) calendar days after its receipt of the written statement of the Actual EBITDA Amount. The Disputing Party and Non-Disputing
Party shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts for a period of ten (10) calendar days after the Disputing Party’s
delivery of such notice (or such longer period as the Disputing Party and Non-Disputing Party may mutually agree upon) to resolve
any Items of Dispute raised by the Disputing Party. If, at the end of such period, the Disputing Party and Non-Disputing Party
do not resolve any such Item of Dispute, either party may submit the matter to a mutually acceptable independent accounting firm
of recognized national standing to review and resolve the Item of Dispute. In the event the Disputing Party and Non-Disputing
Party cannot agree upon an accounting firm within five (5) days after notice from a party to the other party, they shall choose
an accounting firm by lot from those accounting firms of recognized national standing practicing in Brazil having no material
relationship to GGAC, the Company, the Committee, the Representative or their respective Affiliates and having offices in locations
suitable to conduct such review (the accounting firm selected in accordance with the preceding two sentences is referred to herein
as the “Accounting Firm”). The Disputing Party and Non-Disputing Party shall request that the Accounting Firm
render a determination on each Item of Dispute, solely based on whether such Item of Dispute was prepared accurately and in accordance
with Brazilian GAAP (as defined below) and consistent with past practice. The determination by the Accounting Firm shall be final,
binding and conclusive on the parties. The Disputing Party and Non-Disputing Party shall make their respective submissions to
the Accounting Firm within ten (10) business days after selecting such firm pursuant to this Section 1.1(e). The Disputing
Party and Non-Disputing Party shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to make its determination
within fifteen (15) calendar days after accepting its selection. All of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be
borne by the Surviving Corporation.
(iv) “EBITDA”
means the calculation detailed in Schedule 1.1(e)(iv) hereto, as performed in accordance with the generally accepted accounting
principles of Brazil (“Brazilian GAAP”).
1.2 Closing.
(a) The
closing of the Contributions and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Closing”) shall take

(c) At
or prior to the Closing, the Company, the Controlling Persons and/or the Optionholders, as applicable, shall deliver or cause
to be delivered to GGAC the following:
(i) (A)

1.3 Adjustments
to Contribution Ratios. The number of GGAC Ordinary Shares to which the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders
are entitled to subscribe shall be equitably adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any share split, reverse share split,
share dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Ordinary Shares or GGAC Ordinary
Shares), cash dividends, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change
with respect to the Company Ordinary Shares or GGAC Ordinary Shares occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective
Time.
1.4 Required
Withholding. GGAC shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant
to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax law or under any other
applicable law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this
Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. If GGAC intends to withhold any
amount from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, GGAC shall provide a statement to the
Representative no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date setting forth the amount expected to
be withheld and the grounds for such withholding and GGAC shall work in good faith with the Representative to reduce or eliminate
any such withholding.
1.5 Taking
of Necessary Action; Further Action. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at any time or from time to
time after the Closing, each of the parties shall execute and deliver such other documents and instruments, provide such materials
and information and take such other actions as may reasonably be necessary, proper or advisable, to the extent permitted by law,
to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement and the other documents to which it is a party.
1.6 Escrow.
As the sole remedy for the indemnification obligations of the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders set forth in Article
VII hereof, 600,000 of the GGAC Ordinary Shares to be issued to the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders hereunder (the
“Escrow Shares”) shall be deposited in escrow (the “Escrow Account”), which shall be allocated
among the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders in the same proportion as the number of GGAC Ordinary Shares being issued
to them hereunder, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of an escrow agreement to be entered into at the Closing between
GGAC, the Representative and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), as escrow agent
(“Escrow Agent”), substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (the “Escrow Agreement”).
On the date (the “Basic Indemnity Escrow Termination Date”) that is the later of (i) thirty (30) days after
the date on which the Company delivers to GGAC its audited financial statements for its 2016 fiscal year and (ii) the date the
EBITDA Adjustment is finally determined in accordance with Section 1.1(e) hereof, the Escrow Agent shall release 300,000
of the original number of Escrow Shares, less that number of Escrow Shares applied in satisfaction of, or reserved with respect
to, indemnification claims made prior to such date, and less that number of Escrow Shares surrendered or to be surrendered to
the Company in satisfaction of the EBITDA Adjustment, to the owners thereof. The remaining Escrow Shares (the “Tax Indemnity
Shares”) shall be available for indemnification only with respect to Tax Indemnification Claims (as hereinafter defined).
On the date (the “Tax Indemnity Escrow Termination Date”) that is thirty (30) days after the date on which
the Company delivers to GGAC its audited financial statements for its 2017 fiscal year, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Tax
Indemnity Shares, less any of such shares applied in satisfaction of, or reserved with respect to, a Tax Indemnification Claim
made prior to such date, to the owners thereof. Any Escrow Shares reserved with respect to any unresolved claim for indemnification
and not applied as indemnification with respect to such claim upon its resolution shall be delivered to such owners promptly upon
such resolution. “Tax Indemnification Claim” means a claim for indemnification pursuant to Article VII
with respect to a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.15 hereof.
1.7 Committee
and Representative for Purposes of Escrow Agreement.
(a) GGAC
Committee. Prior to the Closing, the board of directors of GGAC shall appoint a committee (the “Committee”)
consisting of at least two of its then independent members to act on behalf of GGAC to take all necessary actions and make all
decisions pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement after the Closing. In the event of a vacancy in such committee,
the board of directors of GGAC shall appoint as a successor a Person who was an independent director of GGAC prior to the Closing
Date or, in the event of an inability to appoint same, another Person who would qualify as an “independent” director
of GGAC and who has not had any material relationship with the Company prior to the Closing. Such committee is intended to be
the “Committee” referred to in Article VII and the Escrow Agreement.
(b) Representative.
The Controlling Persons and the Optionholders hereby appoint Alvaro Jabur Maluf Junior as their representative (the “Representative”)
to take any and all actions and make any decisions required or permitted to be taken by the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders
under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. The execution of this Agreement by each of the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders
shall be deemed acceptance by such party of the appointment of the Representative to act in such party’s behalf. Should
the Representative resign or be unable to serve, a new Representative shall be selected by majority vote of the Controlling Persons
and the Optionholders (each voting in proportion to their respective economic interest in the GGAC Ordinary Shares to be issued
hereunder). The Representative shall not be liable to the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders for any liability, loss, damage,
penalty, fine, cost or expense incurred without gross negligence by the Representative while acting in good faith and arising
out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of his duties hereunder (it being understood that any act done or
omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith). A decision, act, consent or instruction
of the Representative shall be final, binding and conclusive and not subject to challenge by any recipient. GGAC and the Company
are hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any acts done by Representative and any acts done by GGAC or the Company
in accordance with any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative. GGAC, the Company and each of their respective
Affiliates shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, the power and authority of the Representative
without independent investigation.

and (III) the removal of various provisions no longer applicable to GGAC following consummation of the transactions
contemplated herein (collectively, the “Charter Amendments”); (C) the adoption of an incentive plan (the
“GGAC Plan”) that will provide for the reservation thereunder of no more than 10% of the GGAC Ordinary
Shares to be outstanding immediately after the Closing Date; (D) the election to the board of directors of GGAC of the
individuals determined in accordance with Section 5.24 hereof; (F) any other proposals GGAC and the Company deem
necessary or desirable to effectuate the transactions contemplated herein; and (G) an adjournment proposal, if necessary, to
adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting if, based on the tabulated vote count or elections to convert GGAC Ordinary Shares
into cash in accordance with GGAC’s Charter Documents, GGAC would not be authorized to proceed with the Contributions
or the conditions to closing in Article VI hereof would not be met. Such proxy materials shall be in the form of a
proxy statement to be used for the purposes of soliciting such proxies from holders of GGAC Ordinary Shares for the matters
to be acted upon at the Extraordinary General Meeting (the “Proxy Statement”). GGAC, with the
assistance of the Company, shall promptly respond to any SEC comments on the Proxy Statement and shall otherwise use
commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be approved by the SEC for mailing to the holders of
GGAC Ordinary Shares as promptly as practicable. GGAC will advise the Company and the Controlling Persons promptly after it
receives notice thereof, of the time when the Proxy Statement has been approved by the SEC or any supplement or amendment has
been filed, or the issuance of any stop order, or of any request by the SEC for amendment of the Proxy Statement or comments
thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information.
(c) As
soon as practicable following approval by the SEC, GGAC shall distribute the Proxy Statement to the holders of GGAC Ordinary Shares
and, pursuant thereto, shall call the Extraordinary General Meeting in accordance with the Companies Law (2013 Revision) of the
Cayman Islands (the “Companies Law”) and, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, solicit proxies
from the holders of GGAC Ordinary Shares to vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Contributions
and the other matters presented to the shareholders of GGAC for approval or adoption at the Extraordinary General Meeting, including,
without limitation, the matters described in Section 5.1(b) hereof.
(d) GGAC
shall comply with all applicable provisions of and rules under the Exchange Act and all applicable provisions of the Companies
Law in the preparation, filing and distribution of the Proxy Statement, the solicitation of proxies thereunder, and the calling
and holding of the Extraordinary General Meeting.
(e) GGAC,
acting through its board of directors, shall include in the Proxy Statement the recommendation of its board of directors that
the holders of GGAC Ordinary Shares vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Contributions and
the other matters described in Section 5.1(b) hereof, and shall otherwise use commercially reasonable best efforts
to obtain the GGAC Shareholder Approval. At no time shall the board of directors of GGAC withdraw or modify such recommendation;
provided, however, the board of directors of GGAC may withdraw or modify such recommendation, if the board of directors
of GGAC determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that failure to do so could be inconsistent with its
fiduciary obligations under applicable Law.
(f) No
amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement will be made by GGAC without the approval of the Company which shall not be unreasonably
withheld and GGAC shall promptly transmit any such amendment or supplement to its shareholders, if at any time prior to the Extraordinary
General Meeting there shall be discovered any information that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy
Statement.

securities, or securities exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, of GGAC, on terms reasonably
satisfactory to GGAC and the Company (the “Private Placement”), with the assistance of a syndicate of financial
institutions mutually agreeable to GGAC and the Company. Using the information provided by the Company pursuant

request, GGAC shall cause to be prepared a private placement memorandum (the “Private Placement Memorandum”)
for the purpose of offering such securities to potential investors in the Private Placement.
5.3 Corporate
Reorganization. Prior to Closing, the Company, certain Controlling Person Affiliates and the Controlling Persons shall
use commercially reasonable best efforts to effect the Reorganization in accordance with the steps set forth in Schedule 5.3
hereto, such that the conditions set forth in Section 6.3(o) hereof are satisfied.

through the Closing Date (the “Additional GGAC SEC Reports”) and such Additional GGAC SEC Reports shall be
prepared in accordance and comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as
the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder. The Additional GGAC SEC Reports will not, at the time they
are filed, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As used in
this Section 5.4, the term “file” shall be broadly construed to include any manner in which a document or information
is furnished, supplied or otherwise made available to the SEC.

(a) In
connection with the preparation of the Signing Form 8-K, the Signing Press Release, the Proxy Statement, the Closing Form 8-K

the Company to any Government Entity or other third party in connection with the Contributions and the other transactions contemplated
hereby (each, a “Reviewable Document”), and in connection with the preparation of the Private Placement Memorandum
and for other reasonable purposes, the Company and GGAC each shall, upon request by the other, promptly furnish the other with
all information concerning themselves, their respective directors, officers, shareholders and Affiliates and such other matters
as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Contributions and the preparation of such documents or for
such other reasonable purposes. Each party warrants and represents to the other party that, as of the date of filing, issuance
or other submission or public disclosure of such document and the Closing Date, or in the case of the Private Placement Memorandum,
as of the date of the Private Placement Memorandum, the date of sale of the securities offered thereby and as of Closing Date,
all such information shall be true and correct in all material respects and will not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that each party shall not be responsible for the
accuracy or completeness of any information relating to the other party or any other information furnished by the other party
for inclusion in any such document). Any such information consisting of financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with
U.S. GAAP, as modified by the rules and regulations of the SEC, applied on a consistent basis to prior periods and shall fairly
present in all material respects the financial position of such party at the date thereof and the results of its operations and
cash flows for the period indicated, except that any such interim financial statements shall be subject to normal audit adjustments
that shall not be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on such party taken as a whole and shall not include all footnotes.
(b) At
a reasonable time prior to the filing, issuance or other submission or public disclosure of a Reviewable Document by either GGAC
or the Company and a reasonable time prior to the date of sale of securities offered by the Private Placement Memorandum, the
other party shall be given an opportunity to review and comment upon such Reviewable Document or Private Placement Memorandum,
and give its consent to the form thereof, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, provided that a party may file, issue
or otherwise submit a Reviewable Document or deliver the Private Placement Memorandum without the consent of the other party if
it is advised by counsel that such Reviewable Document or the Private Placement Memorandum must be filed, issued, submitted or
delivered in the form objected to by the other party so that the filing, issuing, submitting or delivering party is in compliance
with applicable law.
(c) Any
language included in a Reviewable Document or the Private Placement Memorandum that reflects the comments of the reviewing party,
as well as any text as to which the reviewing party has not commented upon after being given a reasonable opportunity to comment,
shall be deemed to have been approved by the reviewing party.
(d) Prior
to the Closing Date (i) the Company and GGAC shall notify each other as promptly as reasonably practicable upon becoming
aware of any event or circumstance which should be described in an amendment of, or supplement to, a Reviewable Document that
has been filed with the SEC or the Private Placement Memorandum after it has been delivered to potential investors, and (ii) the
Company and GGAC shall each notify the other as promptly as practicable after the receipt by it of any written or oral comments
of the SEC on, or of any written or oral request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to, any such Reviewable Document, and
shall promptly supply the other with copies of all correspondence between it or any of its representatives and the SEC with respect
to any of the foregoing filings. All correspondence and communications to the SEC made by GGAC with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any agreement ancillary hereto shall be considered to be Reviewable Documents subject to the
provisions of this Section 5.5.
5.6 Confidentiality;
Access to Information.

Any confidentiality agreement previously executed by the parties shall be superseded in its entirety by the provisions of this
Agreement. Each party agrees to maintain in confidence any non-public information received from the other party, and to use such

obligations will not apply to (i) information which was known to the one party or their respective agents prior to receipt from
the other party; (ii) information which is or becomes generally known; (iii) information acquired by a party or their respective
agents from a third party who was not bound to an obligation of confidentiality; (iv) disclosure required by law, regulation or

results of operations and personnel of the Company, as GGAC may reasonably request, including the documents and information described

the parties to consummate the Contributions.
(ii) GGAC
will afford the Company and its financial advisors, underwriters, accountants, counsel and other representatives reasonable access

effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Contributions and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
including using commercially reasonable best efforts to accomplish the following: (i) the taking of all commercially reasonable

or reversed; and (vi) the execution or delivery of any additional instruments reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions
contemplated by, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing
in this Agreement shall be deemed to require GGAC or the Company to agree to any divestiture by itself or any of its Affiliates
of shares of capital stock or of any business, assets or property, or the imposition of any material limitation on the ability
of any of them to conduct their business or to own or exercise control of such assets, properties and stock.

Fund. Accordingly, the Company, for itself and its subsidiaries, affiliated entities, directors, officers, employees, shareholders,
representatives, advisors and all other associates and Affiliates, the Controlling Persons, on behalf of themselves and the Controlling
Person Affiliates, and the Optionholders, for themselves, hereby waive all rights, title, interest or claim of any kind against
GGAC to collect from the Trust Fund any monies that may be owed to them by GGAC for any reason whatsoever, including but not limited

Article
VII
INDEMNIFICATION
7.1 Indemnification.
(a) Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Article VII (including without limitation the limitations set forth in Section 7.4
hereof), from and after the Closing, GGAC, the Surviving Corporation and their respective representatives, successors and
permitted assigns (the “GGAC Indemnified Parties”) shall be indemnified, defended and held harmless by the
Controlling Persons and the Optionholders (the “Company Indemnifying Parties”), jointly and severally, but
only to the extent of the Escrow Shares, from and against all Losses asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon, or incurred
by any GGAC Indemnified Party by reason of, arising out of or resulting from:
(i) the
inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of the Company, the Controlling Persons or the Optionholders contained
in or made pursuant to this Agreement, any Schedule or any certificate delivered by the Company, the Controlling Persons
or the Optionholders (or by the Representative on their behalf) to GGAC pursuant to this Agreement with respect hereto or thereto
in connection with the Closing; and
(ii) the
non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement of the Company, the Controlling Persons or the Optionholders contained
in this Agreement.
(b) Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Article VII (including without limitation the limitations set forth in Section 7.4
hereof), from and after the Closing, the Controlling Persons and Optionholders and their respective representatives, successors
and permitted assigns (the “Company Indemnified Parties”) shall be indemnified, defended and held harmless
by GGAC (the “GGAC Indemnifying Parties”), but only to the extent of a number of newly issued GGAC Ordinary
Shares equal to the number of Escrow Shares, from and against all Losses asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon, or incurred
by any Company Indemnified Party by reason of, arising out of or resulting from:
(i) the
inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of GGAC contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement, any Schedule or
any certificate delivered by GGAC to the Company pursuant to this Agreement with respect hereto or thereto in connection with
the Closing; and
(ii) the
non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement of GGAC contained in this Agreement.
(c) As
used in this Article VII, the term “Losses” shall include all losses, liabilities, damages, judgments,
awards, orders, penalties, settlements, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, interest, penalties, court costs and
reasonable legal fees and expenses) including those arising from any demands, claims, suits, actions, costs of investigation,
notices of violation or noncompliance, causes of action, proceedings and assessments whether or not made by third parties or whether
or not ultimately determined to be valid, but net of any provisions or reserves relating to such matter recorded in the Company’s
Audited Financial Statements; provided, however, that Losses shall not include incidental, consequential, indirect,
punitive, special or exemplary damages; provided, further, that in relation to any Third Party Claim, a Loss shall
only be considered incurred and be indemnifiable when and to the extent actually due and payable by the Indemnified Party, it
being understood that any claim for such a Loss shall be preserved in accordance with Section 7.4(b) if the claim for indemnification
is made prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period (as defined below), notwithstanding that the Third Party Claim
has not yet been reduced to an amount due and payable. Solely for the purpose of determining the amount of any Losses (and not
for determining any breach) for which the Indemnified Parties may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article VII,
any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement that is qualified by a term or terms such as “material,”
“materially,” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be deemed made or given without such qualification and
without giving effect to such words.
(d) As
used in this Article VII, with respect to any claim, the term “Indemnified Parties” means the party
seeking indemnification hereunder, whether by the GGAC Indemnified Parties under Section 7.1(a) hereof or by the Company
Indemnified Parties under Section 7.1(b) hereof, and the term “Indemnifying Parties” means the party
against whom indemnification is sought hereunder, whether against the Company Indemnifying Parties under Section 7.1(a)
hereof or against the GGAC Indemnifying Parties under Section 7.1(b) hereof.
7.2 Indemnification
of Third Party Claims. The indemnification obligations under this Article VII with respect to actions, proceedings,
lawsuits, investigations, demands or other claims brought against an Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third Party
Claim”) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) Notice
of Claim. The Indemnified Party, acting through the Representative, will give the Indemnifying Parties prompt written
notice after receiving written notice of any Third Party Claim or discovering the liability, obligation or facts giving rise to
such Third Party Claim (a “Notice of Claim”) which Notice of Third Party Claim shall set forth (i) a brief
description of the nature of the Third Party Claim, (ii) the total amount of the actual out-of-pocket Loss or the anticipated
potential Loss (including any costs or expenses which have been or may be reasonably incurred in connection therewith), and (iii)
whether such Loss may be covered (in whole or in part) under any insurance and the estimated amount of such Loss which may be
covered under such insurance.
(b) Defense.
The Indemnifying Parties shall have the right, at their option (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.2(c)
hereof) and at their own expense, by written notice to the Indemnified Parties, to assume the entire control of, subject to the
right of the Indemnified Parties to participate (at their expense and with counsel of their choice) in, the defense, compromise
or settlement of the Third Party Claim as to which such Notice of Claim has been given, and shall be entitled to appoint a recognized
and reputable counsel to be the lead counsel in connection with such defense. If the Indemnifying Parties are permitted and elect
to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim:
(i) the
Indemnifying Parties shall diligently and in good faith defend such Third Party Claim and shall keep the Indemnified Parties reasonably
informed of the status of such defense; provided, however, that in the case of any settlement providing for remedies which are
not merely incidental to a primary damage claim or claims for monetary damages, the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to
approve any settlement, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; and
(ii) the
Indemnified Parties shall cooperate fully in all respects with the Indemnifying Parties in any such defense, compromise or settlement
thereof, including, without limitation, the selection of counsel, and the Indemnified Parties shall make available to the Indemnifying
Parties all pertinent information and documents under its control.
(c) Limitations
of Right to Assume Defense. The Indemnifying Parties shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense and shall
pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Representative if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection
with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction
or equitable relief against the Indemnified Parties which is not merely incidental to a primary damage claim or claims for monetary
damages; or (iii) there is a reasonable probability that a Third Party Claim may materially and adversely affect the Indemnified
Parties other than as a result of money damages or other money payments.
(d) Other
Limitations. Failure to give prompt Notice of Claim or to provide copies of relevant available documents or to furnish
relevant available data shall not constitute a defense (in whole or in part) to any claim for indemnification with respect to
a Third Party Claim and shall not affect the Indemnifying Parties’ duties or obligations under this Article VII,
except to the extent (and only to the extent that) such failure shall have adversely affected the ability of the Indemnifying
Parties to defend against or reduce their liability or caused or increased such liability or otherwise caused the damages for
which the Indemnifying Parties are obligated to be greater than such damages would have been had Indemnified Parties given the
Indemnifying Parties prompt notice hereunder. So long as the Indemnifying Parties are defending any such action actively and in
good faith, the Indemnified Parties shall not settle such action. The Indemnified Parties shall make available to the Indemnifying
Parties all relevant records and other relevant materials required by them and in the possession or under the control of the Indemnified
Parties, for the use of the Indemnifying Parties and their representatives in defending any such action, and shall in other respects
give reasonable cooperation in such defense.
(e) Failure
to Defend. If the Indemnifying Parties, promptly after receiving a Notice of Claim, fail to defend such Third Party Claim
actively and in good faith, the Indemnified Parties, at the reasonable cost and expense of Indemnifying Parties, will (upon further
written notice) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim as it may determine
in its reasonable discretion, provided that the Indemnifying Parties shall have the right to approve any settlement, which approval
will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
(f) Indemnified
Parties’ Rights. Anything in this Section 7.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Indemnifying Parties
shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Parties, settle or compromise any action or consent to the entry of
any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified
Parties of a full and unconditional release from all liability and obligation in respect of such action without any payment by
the Indemnified Parties.
(g) Indemnifying
Parties Consent. Unless the Indemnifying Parties have consented to a settlement of a Third Party Claim, the amount of
the settlement shall not be a binding determination of the amount of the Loss and such amount shall be determined in accordance
with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement.
7.3 Insurance
Effect. To the extent that any Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII are
covered by insurance paid for by the Indemnified Parties prior to or after the Closing, the Indemnified Parties shall use commercially
reasonable best efforts to obtain the maximum recovery under such insurance; provided that the Indemnified Parties shall nevertheless
be entitled to bring a claim for indemnification under this Article VII in respect of such Losses and the time limitations
set forth in Section 7.4 hereof for bringing a claim of indemnification under this Agreement shall be tolled during
the pendency of such insurance claim. The existence of a claim by the Indemnified Parties for monies from an insurer or against
a third party in respect of any Loss shall not, however, delay any payment pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained
herein and otherwise determined to be due and owing by the Indemnifying Parties. If the Indemnified Parties have received the
payment required by this Agreement from the Indemnifying Parties in respect of any Loss and later receive proceeds from insurance
or other amounts in respect of such Loss, then it shall hold such proceeds or other amounts in trust for the benefit of the Indemnifying
Parties and shall pay to the Indemnifying Parties, as promptly as practicable after receipt, a sum equal to the amount of such
proceeds or other amount received, up to the aggregate amount of any payments received from the Indemnifying Parties pursuant
to this Agreement in respect of such Loss. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, it is the intention of the
parties that no insurer or any other third party shall be (i) entitled to a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the
absence of the foregoing indemnification provisions, or (ii) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims for which it is
obligated.
7.4 Limitations
on Indemnification.
(a) Survival:
Time Limitation.
(i) The
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company, the Controlling Persons or the Optionholders in this Agreement
or in any writing delivered by the Company, the Controlling Persons or Optionholders (or by the Representative on their behalf)
to GGAC in connection with this Agreement (including the certificate required to be delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 6.3(a)
hereof) shall survive the Closing for the period that ends on the Basic Indemnity Escrow Termination Date (the “Basic
Survival Period”), except that the right of GGAC Indemnified Parties to bring (i) Tax Indemnification Claims shall survive
the Closing for the period that ends on the Tax Escrow Termination Date (the “Tax Survival Period”) and (ii)
claims for the breach of the representations and warranties in Sections 1.8(c)(iv), 2.3, and 2.4 hereof shall
survive without limitation as to time.
(ii) The
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of GGAC in this Agreement or in any writing delivered by GGAC to the Company
in connection with this Agreement (including the certificate required to be delivered by GGAC pursuant to Section 6.2(a)
hereof) shall survive the Closing for the Basic Survival Period, except that the right of the Company Indemnified Parties
to bring claims for the breach of the representations and warranties in Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereof shall survive
without limitation as to time.
(b) Any
indemnification claim made by an Indemnified Party prior to the termination of the Basic Survival Period or the Tax Survival Period
(each a “Survival Period”), as the case may be, shall be preserved despite the subsequent termination of such
Survival Period and any claim set forth in a Notice of Claim sent prior to the expiration of such Survival Period shall survive
until final resolution thereof. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, no claim for indemnification under
this Article VII shall be brought after the end of the Survival Period or the Tax Survival Period, as the case may
be.
(c) Deductible.
No amount shall be payable by the Indemnifying Parties under this Article VII unless and until the aggregate amount
of all indemnifiable Losses otherwise payable by such Indemnifying Parties exceeds $600,000 (the “Deductible”),
in which event the amount payable shall be the full amount (and not just the amount in excess of the amount of the Deductible),
and, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.4(d) hereof, all future amounts that become payable under Section 7.1
hereof from time to time thereafter. With respect to any claim as to which the Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification,
the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any individual or series of related Losses which do not exceed $30,000, provided
that such Losses shall be counted toward the Deductible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Deductible shall not apply to Losses
that arise out of (i) with respect to claims for indemnification by the GGAC Indemnified Parties, (A) a breach of the representations
and warranties in Sections 1.8(c)(iv), 2.3 or 2.4, or (B) a Tax Indemnification Claim, or (ii) with respect
to claims for indemnification by the Company Indemnified Parties, a breach of the representations and warranties in Sections
3.3 or 3.4, all of which shall be indemnifiable as to all Losses that so arise from the first dollar thereof.
(d) Aggregate
Amount Limitation.
(i) Except
with respect to a breach of the representations and warranties in Sections 1.8(c)(iv), 2.3 and 2.4 hereof,
the aggregate liability of the Company Indemnifying Parties for Losses pursuant to Section 7.1(a) hereof shall not
in any event exceed the Escrow Shares in the case of Basic Indemnity Claims or the Tax Indemnity Shares in the case of Tax Indemnity
Claims and GGAC Indemnified Parties shall have no claim against the Company Indemnifying Parties other than for any of such Escrow
Shares (and any proceeds of the shares or distributions with respect to the Escrow Shares). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, the maximum liability of each Company Indemnifying Party to the GGAC Indemnified Parties (including, without limitation,
with respect to a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 1.8(c)(iv), 2.3, and 2.4
hereof) shall be limited to returning up to 100% of the Investment Consideration received by such Company Indemnifying Party
pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.1 hereof and, in the case of the Controlling Persons, paying up to 100% of such
Controlling Person’s pro rata share, based on the number of GGAC Ordinary Shares received pursuant to Section 1.1
hereof, of the Capital Contribution.
(ii) The
aggregate liability of the GGAC Indemnified Parties for Losses pursuant to Section 7.1(b) hereof shall not in any
event exceed a number of newly issued GGAC Ordinary Shares equal to the number of Escrow Shares.
7.5 Exclusive
Remedy. GGAC, on behalf of itself and the other GGAC Indemnified Parties, and Controlling Persons and the Optionholders,
on behalf of the themselves and the other Company Indemnified Parties, hereby acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing,
the sole remedy of the Indemnified Parties with respect to any and all claims for money damages arising out of or relating to
this Agreement shall be pursuant and subject to the requirements of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Article VII shall in any way impair, modify or otherwise
limit a Indemnified Parties right to bring any claim, demand or suit against the other party based upon such other party’s
actual fraud or intentional or willful misrepresentation or omission, it being understood that a mere breach of a representation
and warranty, without intentional or willful misrepresentation or omission, does not constitute fraud.
7.6 Adjustment
to Investment Consideration and Capital Contribution. Amounts paid for indemnification under Article VII shall
be deemed to be an adjustment to the Investment Consideration and Capital Contribution, except as otherwise required by law.
7.7 Representative
Capacities; Application of Escrow Shares. The parties acknowledge that all actions required or permitted to be taken by
the Controlling Persons or the Optionholders in their roles as Company Indemnified Parties or Company Indemnifying Parties under
this Article VII shall be taken by the Representative on behalf of such Persons. The Representative’s obligations under
this Article VII are solely as a representative of the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders in the manner set
forth in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement with respect to the obligations to indemnify the GGAC Indemnified Parties or
the right to be indemnified by the GGAC Indemnifying Parties under this Article VII and that the Representative shall
have no personal responsibility for any expenses incurred by him in such capacity and that all payments to GGAC Indemnified Parties
as a result of such indemnification obligations shall be made solely from, and to the extent of, the Escrow Shares. The parties
further acknowledge that all actions required or permitted to be taken by GGAC or the Surviving Corporation in their roles as
GGAC Indemnified Parties or GGAC Indemnifying Parties under this Article VII shall be taken by the Committee on behalf
of such Persons. The Committee’s obligations under this Article VII are solely as a representative of the GGAC
and the Surviving Corporation in the manner set forth in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement with respect to the obligations
to indemnify the Company Indemnified Parties or the right to be indemnified by the Company Indemnifying Parties under this Article VII
and that the Committee shall have no personal responsibility for any expenses incurred by it in such capacity and that all
payments to Company Indemnified Parties as a result of such indemnification obligations shall be made solely from, and to the
extent of, a number of newly issued GGAC Ordinary Shares equal to the number of Escrow Shares. Out-of-pocket expenses of the Representative
and the Committee for attorneys’ fees and other costs shall be borne in the first instance by GGAC and the Controlling Persons,
respectively, either of whom may make a claim for reimbursement thereof against the Escrow Shares or such newly issued GGAC Ordinary
Shares upon the claim with respect to which such expenses are incurred becoming an Established Claim (as defined in the Escrow
Agreement). The Escrow Agent, pursuant to the Escrow Agreement after the Closing, may apply all or a portion of the Escrow Shares
to satisfy any claim by the GGAC Indemnified Parties for indemnification pursuant to this Article VII. The value of
the Escrow Shares shall be determined in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent will hold the remaining portion
of the Escrow Shares until final resolution of all claims for indemnification or disputes relating thereto. The value of any newly
issued GGAC Ordinary Shares shall be determined in accordance with the Escrow Agreement as if such shares were Escrow Shares.
7.8 Tax
Benefits. The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided shall be reduced by any net Tax benefit to such
Indemnified Party and its Affiliates, to the extent realized by such party as a result of such Losses, including the present value
(determined by discounting at 8%) of the benefit arising from an increase in the Tax basis of assets, net of any Tax costs incurred
by the Indemnified Party as a result of the receipt of the indemnification payments hereunder. In calculating the amount of net
Tax benefit, the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates shall be presumed to pay Taxes at a forty percent (40%) Tax rate. The Indemnified
Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such documentation as may be reasonably requested in order to ascertain or confirm
the amount of any net Tax benefit or net Tax cost referred to herein.
7.9 Mitigation.
An Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonably efforts to mitigate Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by it arising
out of any matter for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided that no Indemnified Party shall be required
to (i) take any action or refrain from taking any action that is contrary to any applicable Contract, order or law binding on
it or any Affiliate thereof or (ii) incur any out-of-pocket expense in connection with such mitigation (other than de minimus
incidental expenses).

VIII
TERMINATION
8.1 Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

30-day periods, in case the Contributions are not consummated for any reason; provided, however, that the right to terminate this
Agreement under this Section 8.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose action or failure to act has been a
principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Contributions to occur on or before such date and such action or failure
to act constitutes a breach of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Agreement is terminated, none of the

which order, decree, judgment, ruling or other action is final and nonappealable; provided, however, that the right
to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(c) shall not be available to any party whose action or failure to act
has been a principal cause of or resulted in such order, decree, judgment, ruling or other action being final and nonappealable;
(d) by
the Controlling Persons, upon a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of GGAC set
forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of GGAC shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions
set forth in Article VI hereof would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation
or warranty shall have become untrue, provided, that if such breach or inaccuracy is curable by GGAC prior to the Closing Date,
then the Controlling Persons may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(d) for thirty (30) days after
delivery of written notice from the Company to GGAC of such breach or inaccuracy, provided GGAC continues to exercise commercially
reasonable best efforts to cure such breach or inaccuracy (it being understood that the Controlling Persons may not terminate
this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) if it shall have materially breached this Agreement or if such breach
or inaccuracy is cured by GGAC during such thirty (30) day period);

GGAC, upon a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Company, the Controlling
Persons or the Optionholders set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Company, the Controlling
Persons or the Optionholders shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Article VI
hereof would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become
untrue, provided, that if such breach or inaccuracy is curable by the Company prior to the Closing Date, then GGAC may not terminate

or inaccuracy (it being understood that GGAC may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) if it
shall have materially breached this Agreement or if such breach or inaccuracy is cured by the Company during such thirty (30)
day period);

Shares held by them into cash in accordance with GGAC’s Charter Documents.

effective immediately upon (or, if the termination is pursuant to Section 8.1(d) or 8.1(e) hereof and the proviso
therein is applicable, thirty (30) days after) the delivery of written notice of the terminating party to the other parties hereto.
In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1 hereof, this Agreement shall be of no
further force or effect and the Contributions shall be abandoned, except for and subject to the following: (i) Sections 5.6,

10.3 Counterparts;
Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement and each other document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby, and the consummation thereof, may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the
same document and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to
the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. Delivery by email or facsimile to counsel
for the other party of a counterpart executed by a party shall be deemed to meet the requirements of the previous sentence.
10.4 Entire
Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the
parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto (a) constitute the entire
agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both
written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, it being understood that the letter of intent between
GGAC and the Company dated May 28, 2015 is hereby terminated in its entirety and shall be of no further force and effect (except
to the extent expressly stated to survive the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby); and (b) are not intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies hereunder (except as specifically provided
in this Agreement).
10.5 Severability.
In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and
the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent
of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid
and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or
unenforceable provision.
10.6 Other
Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, including pursuant to Section 7.5 hereof,
any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy
conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise
of any other remedy. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this
Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that
the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically
the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to
any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.
10.7 Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of New York regardless of the law that
might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law thereof.
10.8 Rules
of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution
of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that
ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.
10.9 Assignment.
No party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written
approval of the other parties. Subject to the first sentence of this Section 10.9, this Agreement shall be binding
upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
10.10 Amendment.
This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time prior to the Closing Date by execution of an instrument in writing
signed on behalf of each of the parties; provided that the Controlling Persons may amend Schedule 1.1(a) hereto as necessary
to account for changes in the ownership of GGAC Ordinary Shares as a result of the Reorganization, without the consent of any
other party. After the Closing Date, this Agreement may be amended only with the consent of the Representative and the Committee.
10.11 Extension;
Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, any party hereto may, to the extent legally allowed, (i) extend the time for
the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations
and warranties made to such party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance with
any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto
to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. Delay
in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right.
10.12 VENUE;
CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND SERVICE OF PROCESS. In connection with Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the
State of New York, this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without
regard to principles of conflicts of law that would result in the application of the substantive law of another jurisdiction.
The parties hereto agree that any action, proceeding or claim arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement shall be
resolved through final and binding arbitration in accordance with the International Arbitration Rules of the International Centre
for Dispute Resolution (“ICDR”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The arbitration shall
be brought before the ICDR’s offices in New York City, New York, will be conducted in English and will be decided by a panel
of three arbitrators. Each party shall select one arbitrator and the parties shall jointly agree on the third arbitrator who shall
be the chairman and who shall not be a citizen of the U.S. or Brazil. If the parties fail to agree on a chairman within 20 days
of confirmation of the second arbitrator, then such chairman shall be named by the ICDR. The arbitrator panel’s decision
shall be final and enforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the party from whom enforcement is sought. The cost of such
arbitrators and arbitration services shall be borne as directed by the arbitrators. Each of the Company, the Controlling Persons
and the Optionholders hereby appoint, without power of revocation, Souza Cescobn Barrieu & Flesch Advogados, located at Rua
Funchal, 418, 10º andar, Vila Olimpia, São Paulo, SP, Brazil, Fax No.: 55 11 3089-6500, E-mail: joaquim.oliveira@scbf.com.br,
Attn: Joaquim Oliveira, as their respective agent to accept and acknowledge on their behalf service of any and all process which
may be served in any arbitration, action, proceeding or counterclaim in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement.

to, either directly or indirectly, during the “Restricted Period” (as hereinafter defined):
| (1) | sell
or offer or contract to sell or offer, grant any option or warrant for the sale of, assign,
transfer, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber or dispose of (all being referred
to as a “Transfer”) any legal or beneficial interest in any GGAC Ordinary
Shares, issued to the undersigned in connection with the Investment Agreement (the “Restricted
Securities”); |
| (2) | enter
into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in
part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of any of the Restricted
Securities, whether such swap transaction is to be settled by delivery of any Restricted
Securities or other securities of any person, in cash or otherwise; or |
| (3) | publicly
disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into
any transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement relating to any of the Restricted Securities. |
As
used herein, “Restricted Period” means the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending (1) with respect to 50%
of the GGAC Ordinary Shares issued to the undersigned, the earlier of one year after the Closing Date and the date on which the
closing price of the GGAC Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $13.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations
and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after the Closing Date and (2) with
respect to the remaining 50% of the GGAC Ordinary Shares issued to the undersigned, one year after the Closing Date, or earlier,
in either case, if, subsequent to the Closing Date, GGAC consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction
which results in all of its shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing limitations, the undersigned may, either during the undersigned’s lifetime or upon the undersigned’s
death, Transfer any or all of the Restricted Securities, (i) in a transaction that does not involve a public offering (as such
term is used in the Federal securities laws of the United States) and is not made through a securities exchange or an over-the-counter
securities market; (ii) by gift, will or intestate succession, judicial decree or other transfer to the undersigned’s Family
Members (as defined below) or to a trust, corporation, partnership, limited liability company or similar entity, the beneficiaries,
stockholders, partners, members or other equity holders of which are the undersigned or the undersigned’s Family Members
or a charitable organization; (iii) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; or (iv) to Affiliates of the undersigned
or any investment fund or entity controlled or managed by the undersigned or its Affiliates, including, without limitation, if
the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity, a distribution of securities
to partners, members, stockholders or other equity holders of the undersigned; provided, however, that in each and any
such event it shall be a condition to the Transfer that the transferee executes a lock-up agreement with terms and restrictions
no less restrictive than the provisions of this Lock-Up Agreement. For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “Family Member”
shall mean spouse, lineal descendants, stepchildren, father, mother, brother or sister of the transferor or of the transferor’s
spouse.
Nothing
in this Lock-Up Agreement shall prevent the establishment by the undersigned of any contract, instruction or plan (a “Plan”)
that satisfies all of the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; provided
that it shall be a condition to the establishment of any such Plan that no sales of GGAC’s share capital shall be made pursuant
to such a plan prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period; and provided, further, such a Plan may only be established if
no public announcement of the establishment or the existence thereof, and no filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
or any other regulatory authority shall be required or shall be made voluntarily by the undersigned, GGAC or any other person,
prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period.
Any
of the Restricted Securities subject to this Lock-Up Agreement may be released, from time to time, in whole or part from the terms
hereof upon the consent of the Committee.
GGAC
hereby represents and warrants to the undersigned that the lock-up restrictions set forth herein are no more restrictive to the
undersigned than those lock-up restrictions applicable to Mario Garnero, Javier Martin Riva, John Tonelli, Corrado Clini and Nelson
Narcisco Filho (collectively, the “Sponsors”) in that certain Share Escrow Agreement, dated as of June 25, 2014, by
and among GGAC, the Sponsors and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent (the “Sponsor Lock-Up Restrictions”).
If
any Sponsor is granted early release from its Sponsor Lock-Up Restrictions during the applicable restricted period, then the undersigned
shall also be granted an early release upon similar terms and conditions from its obligations hereunder on a pro-rata basis based
on the maximum percentage of GGAC Ordinary Shares held by such Sponsor which are being released. In the event that any such Sponsor’s
Sponsor Lock-Up Restrictions are otherwise amended, waived or modified in a manner that makes the lock-up restrictions set forth
herein more restrictive to the undersigned than the Sponsor Lock-Up Restrictions, this Lock-Up Agreement shall be promptly amended
to be no more restrictive to the undersigned than such amended, waived or modified Sponsor Lock-Up Restrictions. GGAC shall use
reasonable efforts to provide at least ten days’ prior written notice to the undersigned upon the occurrence of any of the
foregoing.
The
undersigned hereby authorizes GGAC’s transfer agent to apply to any certificates representing Restricted Securities issued
to the undersigned the appropriate legend to reflect the existence and general terms of this Lock-Up Agreement.
This
Lock-Up Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors,
assigns and legal representatives, and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York
applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein. All disputes arising under this Agreement shall be handled in accordance
with Section 10.12 of the Investment Agreement.

2.1 |
Shelf Registration Rights. |
(a) No later than thirty
(30) days following the Closing, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC, a Registration Statement for an offering to be
made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act registering the resale from time to time by Holders
of all of the Registrable Securities held by the Holders (the “Shelf Registration Statement”), and shall use
its reasonable best efforts to ensure that there is an effective Shelf Registration Statement containing a prospectus that remains
current covering (and to qualify under required U.S. state securities laws, if any) the offer and sale of all Registrable Securities
held by the Holders on a continuous basis until all Registrable Securities have been sold. The Shelf Registration Statement shall
be on Form S-3 or Form F-3 (if the Company is eligible to use Form S-3 or Form F-3) or another appropriate form permitting registration
of such Registrable Securities for resale by such Holders. The Company shall cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared
effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible after filing, and once effective, to keep the Shelf Registration Statement
continuously effective under the Securities Act at all times.
(b) Following
the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Requisite Holders shall be entitled to an unlimited number of Underwritten
Takedowns, so long as the Registrable Securities to be offered thereby are at the time covered by an effective Shelf
Registration Statement; provided, that the estimated market value of the Registrable Securities to be sold in any
Underwritten Takedown is at least $10,000,000 in the aggregate. The requesting Holders shall make such election by delivering
to the Company a written request (a “Shelf Takedown Request”) for such offering specifying the number of
Registrable Securities available for sale pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement (the “Shelf Registrable
Securities”) that the requesting Holders desire to sell pursuant to such Underwritten Takedown. As promptly as
practicable, but at least ten (10) Business Days after receiving such Shelf Takedown Request, the Company shall give written
notice (the “Shelf Takedown Notice”) of such Shelf Takedown Request to all other Holders of Shelf
Registrable Securities. The Company, subject to Sections 2.2 and 11.1 hereof, shall include in such
Underwritten Takedown the Shelf Registrable Securities of any Holder of Shelf Registrable Securities that shall have made a
written request to the Company for inclusion in such Underwritten Takedown (which request shall specify the maximum number of
Shelf Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder) within seven Business Days after the receipt of the
Shelf Takedown Notice. The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible, but in any event within seventy-five (75) days
following delivery of the Shelf Takedown Notice if the requesting Holders have received a signed engagement letter from an
underwriter relating to such Underwritten Takedown, use its reasonable best efforts to file a prospectus supplement, or
post-effective amendment (if applicable), relating to such Underwritten Takedown, to the extent necessary to permit the
disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities to be so offered.
Each Holder agrees that such Holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of the Shelf Takedown Notice and shall not
disclose or use the information contained in such Shelf Takedown Notice without the prior written consent of the Company
until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result
of disclosure by the Holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement.
(c) Promptly after the
expiration of the seven-Business Day-period referred to in Section 2.1(b), the Company will notify all Holders of Shelf
Registrable Securities participating in the Underwritten Takedown of the identities of the other participating Holders and the
number of shares of Registrable Securities requested to be included therein.
(d) The Company shall,
at the request of the Requisite Holders, file any prospectus supplement or, if the applicable Shelf Registration Statement is an
Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, any post-effective amendments and otherwise take any action necessary to include therein
all disclosure and language deemed necessary or advisable by the Requisite Holders, to effect such Underwritten Takedown. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to effect more than three (3) Underwritten Takedowns for which
the Company would be required to file a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement (other than a post-effective
amendment to an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement) to include any such necessary disclosure and language.
2.2 Priority on Underwritten
Takedowns. If the managing underwriter in an Underwritten Takedown advises the Company and the requesting Holder that, in its
view, the number of shares of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such underwritten offering exceeds the largest
number of shares that can be sold without having an adverse effect on such offering, including the price at which such shares can
be sold (the “Maximum Offering Size”), the Company shall include in such underwritten offering, up to the Maximum
Offering Size, Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Takedown by all participating Holders and allocated
pro rata among the Holders on the basis of the relative number of Registrable Securities held by each such Holder at such time
(it being understood that for the purposes of calculating the relative number of Registrable Securities held by any participating
Holder, in the event such Holder owns any security of the Company that may be converted, exercised or exchanged into Registrable
Securities, the relative number of Registrable Securities held by such Holder shall be determined as if such Holder exercised such
equity security on a cashless exercise basis)…
2.3 Restrictions
on Shelf Offerings.
(a) The Company may
suspend, for a period of up to sixty (60) days from the date of delivery of a Suspension Notice below (a “Suspension Period”),
the use of a prospectus that is part of a Shelf Registration Statement (and therefore suspend sales of the Shelf Registrable Securities)
by providing written notice to the Holders of Registrable Securities if the Company’s board of directors determines in its
reasonable good faith judgment that the offer or sale of Registrable Securities would reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company to engage in any material acquisition of assets or stock (other than in the
ordinary course of business) or any material merger, consolidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar
transaction involving the Company; provided that in such event, the Holders of Registrable Securities shall be entitled
to withdraw such request for an Underwritten Takedown and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such
Underwritten Takedown. The Company may extend the Suspension Period of a Shelf Registration Statement for an additional consecutive
sixty (60) days with the consent of the Requisite Holders. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Company may not suspend
usage of a Registration Statement in this manner more than a total of ninety (90) days in any twelve-month period.
(b) In the case of an
event that causes the Company to suspend the use of a Shelf Registration Statement as set forth in paragraph (a) above or
pursuant to Section 6.10 (a “Suspension Event”), the Company shall give a notice to the Holders
of Registrable Securities registered pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement (a “Suspension Notice”) to
suspend sales of the Registrable Securities and such notice shall state generally the basis for the notice and that such suspension
shall continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing. A Holder shall not effect any sales of the
Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement (or such filings) at any time after it has received a Suspension
Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice. Each Holder agrees that such Holder shall treat as
confidential the receipt of the Suspension Notice and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such Suspension Notice
without the prior written consent of the Company until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to
the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by the Holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement. The Holders
may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (or such filings) following
further written notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company, which End of Suspension
Notice shall be given by the Company to the Holders and to the Holders’ counsel, if any, promptly following the conclusion
of any Suspension Event and its effect.
(c) Notwithstanding
any provision herein to the contrary, if the Company shall give a Suspension Notice with respect to any Shelf Registration Statement
pursuant to this Section 2.3, the Company agrees that it shall extend the period of time during which such Shelf Registration
Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from the date of receipt
by the Holders of the Suspension Notice to and including the date of receipt by the Holders of the End of Suspension Notice and
provide copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus necessary to resume sales, with respect to each Suspension Event; provided
that such period of time shall not be extended beyond the date that there are no longer Registrable Securities covered by such
Shelf Registration Statement.
2.4 Selection of
Underwriters. In an Underwritten Takedown, the Requisite Holders who requested such Underwritten Takedown shall have the right
to select an underwriter or underwriters to administer the Underwritten Takedown, which underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Company. In connection with an underwritten offering (including an Underwritten Takedown), the Company shall
enter into customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as are reasonably
required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities in such underwritten offering, including,
if necessary, the engagement of a “qualified independent underwriter” in connection with the qualification of the underwriting
arrangements with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
2.5 Other Registration
Rights. Except as provided in this Agreement, the Company shall not grant to any persons the right to request the Company or
any subsidiary to register any capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary, or any securities convertible or exchangeable into
or exercisable for such securities, without the prior written consent of the Requisite Holders, provided that such consent shall
not be required with respect to an agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company related to
the filing of a resale shelf registration statement to register shares issued to such holder or prospective holder in an acquisition,
if and only if such resale shelf registration statement does not permit underwritten offerings.
(a) Other than in connection
with a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 promulgated by the SEC and any successor or similar forms, if at any time the Company proposes
to register any of its Ordinary Shares and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities
(a “Piggyback Registration”), then as soon as practicable but not less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the
filing of such Registration Statement, the Company shall give prompt written notice of its intention to effect such a registration
to the Holders (a “Piggyback Notice”), and subject to Sections 3.2 and 3.3, shall use its reasonable
best efforts to include in such Piggyback Registration (and in all related registrations or qualifications under blue sky laws
and in any related underwritten offering) such number of Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received
written requests for inclusion therein within twenty (20) Business Days. Prior to the commencement of any “road show,”
any Holder shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any registration by giving
written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw and such withdrawal shall be irrevocable and, after making such withdrawal,
such Holder shall no longer have any right to include Registrable Securities in the Piggyback Registration as to which such withdrawal
was made.
The Company shall have
the right to terminate or withdraw any registration or offering initiated by it under this Section 3.1 before the effective
date of such registration or the completion of such offering, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities
in such registration or offering. The expenses of such withdrawn registration or offering shall be borne by the Company in accordance
with Section 5.
All Holders of Registrable
Securities proposing to include their Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration initiated as an underwritten offering
shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting
by the Company.
3.2 Priority on Primary
Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary offering on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriter
informs the Company that the number of shares held by the Holders requested to be included exceeds the amount which can be sold
in such offering without adversely affecting the distribution of the shares being offered, the Company shall include, (i) first,
all of the shares the Company has proposed to register; (ii) second, as many of the Registrable Securities, allocated pro rata
among the Holders thereof on the basis of the relative number of Registrable Securities held by each such Holder at such time,
as can be included without adversely affecting such distribution (it being understood that for the purposes of calculating the
relative number of securities held by any participating holder, in the event such holder owns any security of the Company that
may be converted, exercised or exchanged into Ordinary Shares, the relative number of Ordinary Shares held by such holder shall
be determined as if such holder exercised such equity security on a cashless exercise basis); (iii) third, as many of the Ordinary
Shares issued by the Company in the private placement taking place simultaneously with the closing of the Investment Agreement
(the “Business Combination Registrable Securities”), allocated pro rata among the holders thereof on the basis
of the relative number of Business Combination Registrable Securities held by each such holder at such time, as can be included
without adversely affecting such distribution (it being understood that for the purposes of calculating the relative number of
securities held by any participating holder, in the event such holder owns any security of the Company that may be converted, exercised
or exchanged into Ordinary Shares, the relative number of Ordinary Shares held by such holder shall be determined as if such holder
exercised such equity security on a cashless exercise basis); and (iv) fourth, any other Ordinary Shares proposed to be included
in such offering. Registrable Securities beneficially owned by any executive officer of the Company shall not be eligible to be
included in any primary offering of Ordinary Shares without the Company’s consent.
3.3 Priority on Secondary
Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary offering on behalf of holders of the Company’s
securities (for the avoidance of doubt, other than Holders hereunder or the holders of the Business Combination Registrable Securities),
and the managing underwriter informs the Company that the number of shares required to be included in such registration exceeds
the amount which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the distribution of the shares being offered, the Company
shall include, (i) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the holders initially requesting such registration
(for the avoidance of doubt, other than Holders hereunder) and the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration,
allocated pro rata among the holders thereof on the basis of the relative number of securities held by each such holder at such
time, as can be included without adversely affecting such distribution (it being understood that for the purposes of calculating
the relative number of securities held by any participating holder, in the event such holder owns any security of the Company that
may be converted, exercised or exchanged into Ordinary Shares, the relative number of Ordinary Shares held by such holder shall
be determined as if such holder exercised such equity security on a cashless exercise basis); (ii) second, the Business Combination
Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, allocated pro rata among the holders thereof on the basis
of the relative number of securities held by each such holder at such time, as can be included without adversely affecting such
distribution (it being understood that for the purposes of calculating the relative number of securities held by any participating
holder, in the event such holder owns any security of the Company that may be converted, exercised or exchanged into Ordinary Shares,
the relative number of Ordinary Shares held by such holder shall be determined as if such holder exercised such equity security
on a cashless exercise basis); and (iii) third, any other Ordinary Shares proposed to be included in such offering.
4.1 Holders of Registrable
Securities. In connection with any underwritten Public Offering of Registrable Securities, each Holder of Registrable Securities
agrees to enter into any holdback, lockup or similar agreement requested by the underwriters managing such Public Offering in such
form as agreed to by the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities participating in such Public Offering; provided,
however, that each of the Company’s directors and officers shall have entered into such holdback, lockup or similar
agreement.
4.2 The Company.
In connection with any underwritten Public Offering of Registrable Securities, the Company (i) shall not effect any public sale
or distribution of its equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities,
during the period commencing on the earlier of the date on which the Company gives notice to the Holders of Registrable Securities
that a preliminary prospectus has been circulated for such Public Offering or the “pricing” of such offering and continuing
to the date that is 90 days following the date of the final prospectus for such Public Offering (the “Holdback
Period”), unless the underwriters managing the Public Offering otherwise agree in writing and (ii) shall use its reasonable
best efforts to cause (A) each holder of at least five percent (5%) (on a fully-diluted basis) of its Ordinary Shares, or any securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Ordinary Shares, purchased from the Company at any time after the date of this
Agreement (other than in a Public Offering) and (B) each of its directors and executive officers to agree to not effect any public
sale or distribution of the Company’s equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable
for such securities, during the Holdback Period, except as part of such underwritten registration, if otherwise permitted, unless
the underwriters managing the Public Offering otherwise agree in writing.

Registration Procedures. |
The Company shall keep
each Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of the registrations described in Sections and
3 and as to the completion thereof. Whenever the Holders of Registrable Securities have requested that any Registrable Securities
be registered pursuant to this Agreement or have initiated an Underwritten Takedown, the Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition
thereof held by a Holder of Registrable Securities requesting registration, and pursuant thereto the Company shall at its expense:
6.1 upon written request,
before filing any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto with the SEC, furnish to the Holders
copies of all such documents proposed to be filed and use reasonable efforts to reflect in each such document when so filed with
the SEC such comments as the Holders reasonably shall propose within one Business Day of the delivery of such copies to the Holders;
6.2 subject to Section
2.3 and Section 6.10, prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each Shelf Registration
Statement as may be necessary to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective for the Effectiveness Period; cause
the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to
Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) under the Securities Act; and use reasonable efforts to comply with the provisions
of the Securities Act applicable to it;
6.3 prior to any Public
Offering of Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered
by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as
the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution)
may request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be
registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations
of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable
Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction
where it would not otherwise be required to qualify or take any action to which it would be subject to general service of process
or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise so subject;
6.4 cause all such Registrable
Securities registered pursuant hereto to be listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market;
6.5 provide a transfer
agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities no later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;
6.6 as promptly as reasonably
practicable, but within three (3) Business Days in any event, give notice to the Holders (1) when any Prospectus, Prospectus
supplement, Registration Statement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement has been filed with the SEC and, with
respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has been declared effective (provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required by this clause (1) to notify the Holders of the filing of a Prospectus
supplement that does nothing more substantive than name one or more Holders as selling security holders), and (2) of any request,
following the effectiveness of a Registration Statement under the Securities Act, by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental
authority for amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information;
6.7 in the case of a
Shelf Registration Statement, notify the Holders in writing of the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement and furnish
to the Holders, without charge, such number of copies of the Shelf Registration Statement (including any amendments, supplements
and exhibits), the Prospectus contained therein (including each preliminary prospectus and all related amendments and supplements)
and such other documents as the Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale of the Registrable Securities in
the manner described in the Shelf Registration Statement;
6.8 in the case of a
Shelf Registration Statement, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3 above and Section 6.10 below, the Company
shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC from time to time such amendments and supplements to the Shelf Registration Statement
and Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective and to comply
with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all the Registrable Securities during the Effectiveness
Period;
6.9 give notice to the
Holders within one (1) Business Day following notice to the Company (1) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or
state governmental authority of any stop order or injunction suspending or enjoining the use of any Prospectus or the effectiveness
of a Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for that purpose, (2) of the receipt by the
Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and (3) of the happening
of any event that makes any statement made in a Registration Statement or the related Prospectus untrue in any material respect
or that requires changes in order to make the statements therein not misleading;
6.10 Subject to Section
2.3, at the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, prepare and file a post-effective
amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference,
or file any other required document that would be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement and Prospectus, so
that such Registration Statement does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that such Prospectus does not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and, in the case of a post-effective amendment
to a Registration Statement, subject to Section 2.3, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause it to be declared effective
as promptly as is reasonably practicable, and give to the Holders listed as selling security holders in such Prospectus a Suspension
Notice, and, upon receipt of any Suspension Notice, each such Holder agrees not to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to
the Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus or until it receives
an End of Suspension Notice, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed
incorporated by reference in such Prospectus. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any
order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement as promptly as possible (and promptly notify in writing each Holder
covered by such Registration Statement of the withdrawal of any such order), except to the extent provided in Section 2.3.
6.11 in the event of
any underwritten public offering of Registrable Securities, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement,
in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting
shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an underwriting agreement. The Company shall, if requested by the
managing underwriter or underwriters or any Holder of Registrable Securities included in such offering, promptly incorporate in
a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as such managing underwriter or underwriters or any Holder
of Registrable Securities reasonably requests to be included therein, and which is reasonably related to the offering of such Registrable
Securities, including, without limitation, with respect to the Registrable Securities being sold by such Holder to such underwriter
or underwriters, the purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriter or underwriters and any other terms of an underwritten
offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering, and the Company shall promptly make all required filings of
such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;
6.12 furnish to each
Holder a signed counterpart, addressed to such Holder, of (1) any opinion of counsel to the Company delivered to any underwriter
dated the effective date of the Registration Statement or, in the event of an underwritten offering, the date of the closing under
the applicable underwriting agreement, in customary form, scope, and substance, at a minimum to the effect that the Registration
Statement has been declared effective and that no stop order is in effect, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory
to a majority of the Holders and their counsel and (2) any comfort letter from the Company’s independent public accountants
delivered to any underwriter in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by comfort letters as
the managing underwriter or underwriters reasonably request. In the event no legal opinion is delivered to any underwriter, the
Company shall furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, at any time that such Holder
elects to use a Prospectus, an opinion of counsel to the Company to the effect that the Registration Statement containing such
Prospectus has been declared effective and that no stop order is in effect;
6.13 fully cooperate,
and cause each of its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, and all other officers
and members of the management to fully cooperate in any offering of Registrable Securities
hereunder, which cooperation shall include, without limitation, the preparation of the Registration Statement with respect to such
offering and all other offering materials and related documents, and participation in meetings with underwriters, attorneys, accountants
and potential stockholders;
6.14 make available
for inspection by the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (subject to receipt of a reasonable
confidentiality undertaking), any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement and any
attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement
or any underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause all
of the Company’s officers, directors, and employees and the independent public accountants who have certified its financial
statements to make themselves available to discuss the business of the Company and to supply all information reasonably requested
by any such Holder, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such Registration Statement as shall be necessary
to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, and employees
to supply all information reasonably requested by any of them in connection with such Registration Statement;
6.15 cooperate with
each Holder of Registrable Securities and each underwriter or agent, if any, participating in the disposition of such Registrable
Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc., and use its reasonable best efforts to make or cause to be made any filings required to be made by an issuer with
the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. in connection with the filing of any Registration Statement;
6.16 in the event of
any underwritten Public Offering of Registrable Securities, cause senior executive officers of the Company to participate in customary
“road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the managing underwriter in any such underwritten offering
and otherwise to facilitate, cooperate with, and participate in each proposed offering contemplated herein and customary selling
efforts related thereto;
6.17 if the Company
files an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement covering any Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to remain
a WKSI (and not become an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act)) during the period during which such
Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is required to remain effective;
6.18 if the Company
does not pay the filing fee covering the Registrable Securities at the time an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is filed,
pay such fee at such time or times as the Registrable Securities are to be sold;
6.19 during the Effectiveness
Period, if at any time when the Company is required to re-evaluate its WKSI status the Company determines that it is not a WKSI,
use its reasonable best efforts to refile the Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and, if such form is not available,
Form S-1 or Form F-1, and keep such registration statement effective during the Effectiveness Period; and
6.20 otherwise, in good
faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in connection
with such registration.
7.1 The Company agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, members, officers, directors, stockholders, legal counsel and accountants
of each Holder and any other person, if any, who controls each Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities
Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred,
arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or
any amendment thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
in order to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact included in any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission
or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that this Section
7 shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission
or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information about any Holder furnished
to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or any
preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
7.2 Each Holder agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15
of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act severally and not jointly against any and all loss, liability, claim,
damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 7.1, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements
or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any preliminary
prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
about such Holder furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any
amendment thereto) or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
7.3 Each party entitled
to indemnification under this Section 7 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required
to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge
of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim
or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such
claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be withheld unreasonably)
and shall not without the consent of the Indemnified Party, be counsel to the Indemnifying Party. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified
Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel to participate in the defense of such proceeding, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall
have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses
available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (iv) the named parties
in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation
of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interest between them. It is understood
and agreed that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction,
be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel which shall be
limited to one firm in any jurisdiction) for all Indemnified Parties, and that all such reasonable fees and expenses shall be paid
or reimbursed as they are incurred upon receipt from the Indemnified Party of a written request for payment thereof accompanied
by a written statement with reasonable supporting detail of such fees and expenses. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give
notice as provided herein shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 7 only if such failure
is materially prejudicial to the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend such action, and such failure shall in no event relieve
the Indemnifying Party of any liability that he or it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Section 7.
No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party,
consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement unless such settlement (x) includes as an unconditional term thereof
the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such claim or
litigation, and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf
of any Indemnified Party.
7.4 If the indemnification
provided under this Section 7 hereof from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified
Party in respect of any loss, liability, claim, damage and expense 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
loss, liability, claim, damage and expense 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 Holder under this Section 7.4 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds
received by such Holder 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 Sections 7.1,
7.2 and 7.3 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 7.4 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 7.4. 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 7.4 from any
person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
7.5 The indemnification
obligations set forth in this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

8. |
Information by Holders and Other Shareholders. |
Each Holder shall furnish
to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably
request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any Registration Statement.
With a view to making available
the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC that may permit the sale of the Ordinary Shares to the public without
registration, the Company shall for so long as Registrable Securities are outstanding:
(a) make and keep public
information available as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
(b) file with the SEC
in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange
Act; and
(c) so long as any Holder
owns any securities constituting or representing Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder upon request a written statement
by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, and of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange
Act.
If requested by a Holder,
the Company shall cooperate with such Holder and the Company’s transfer agent to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery
of certificates (or execution of a book entry transfer) representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant
to the Registration Statement, which certificates or transfer shall be free, to the extent permitted by applicable law and permissible
under the terms of the Investment Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such
denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders may reasonably request.
|
11. |
Underwritten Offerings. |
11.1 Underwriting
Arrangements. No Holder of Registrable Securities may participate in any offering hereunder which is underwritten unless such
Holder (i) agrees to sell such Holder’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the
person or persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (including, without limitation, pursuant to any over-allotment
or “green shoe” option requested by the underwriters; provided that no Holder of Registrable Securities shall
be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities such Holder has requested to include) and (ii) completes and
executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, custody agreements, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required
under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall execute and deliver such other agreements
as may be reasonably requested by the Company and the lead managing underwriter(s) that are consistent with such Holder’s
obligations under Section 4 and this Section 11.1 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.
11.2 Price and Underwriting
Discounts. In the case of an Underwritten Takedown requested by Holders pursuant to this Agreement, the price, underwriting
discount and other financial terms of the related underwriting agreement for the Registrable Securities shall be determined by
the Requisite Holders who requested such underwritten offering.
12.1 Notices.
All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand delivery, by electronic
facsimile transfer or by courier guaranteeing overnight delivery, and shall be deemed given (i) when made, if made by hand
delivery, (ii) upon confirmation, if made by electronic facsimile transfer, (iii) one (1) Business Day after being deposited
with such courier, if made by overnight courier, to the parties as follows:
(a) if to a Holder,

12.2 Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be governed and construed under the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws and
principles thereof. All disputes arising under this Agreement shall be handled in accordance with Section 10.12 of the Investment
Agreement.
12.3 Successors and
Assigns. Subject to any Lock-Up Period to which a Holder may be subject, the rights of a Holder hereunder may be assigned and
transferred to any transferee acquiring Registrable Securities from such Holder constituting at least 100,000 Registrable Securities
(as adjusted for any share dividend, share split, combination or other similar recapitalization); provided, however,
that no transferee may be assigned and transferred any of the foregoing rights unless the Company is given a written notice by
the assigning and transferring party (not later than the time of such assignment and transfer) stating the name and address of
the transferee and identifying the securities of the Company as to which the rights in question are being assigned and transferred.
Such transferee shall succeed to all of the rights and obligations of a “Holder of Registrable Securities” under this
Agreement by obtaining an executed Addendum Agreement to this Agreement from such Person in the form of Exhibit A attached
hereto (an “Addendum Agreement”). Upon the execution and delivery of an Addendum Agreement by such Person, the
Ordinary Shares acquired by such Person shall constitute Registrable Securities and such Person shall be a Holder of Registrable
Securities under this Agreement with respect to the acquired Ordinary Shares, and the Company shall add such Person’s name
and address to the Schedule of Investors hereto and circulate such information to the parties to this Agreement.
12.4 Additional Parties.
Subject to the prior written consent of the Company, any Person who acquires Ordinary Shares or rights to acquire Ordinary Shares
from an existing Holder after the date hereof shall become a party to this Agreement and succeed to all of the rights and
obligations of a “Holder of Registrable Securities” under this Agreement by executing an Addendum Agreement. Upon the
execution and delivery of an Addendum Agreement by such Person, the Ordinary Shares acquired by such Person shall constitute Registrable
Securities and such Person shall be a Holder of Registrable Securities under this Agreement with respect to the acquired Ordinary
Shares, and the Company shall add such Person’s name and address to the Schedule of Investors hereto and circulate
such information to the parties to this Agreement.
12.5 Captions.
The captions of the several sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are included for reference only and shall not limit or otherwise
affect the meaning thereof.
12.6 Amendments
and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived only
with the prior written consent of the Company and Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities; provided that no
such amendment, modification or waiver that would materially and adversely affect a Holder or group of Holders of Registrable
Securities in a manner materially different than any other Holder or group of Holders of Registrable Securities (other than amendments
and modifications required to implement the provisions of Section 12.4), shall be effective against such Holder or group
of Holders of Registrable Securities without the consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities that are held
by the group of Holders that is materially and adversely affected thereby. The failure or delay of any Person to enforce any of
the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of
such Person thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. A waiver or consent
to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement
shall not be deemed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same
or any other obligations of that Person under this Agreement.
12.7 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which taken together
shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
12.8 Remedies.
The parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce their rights under this Agreement specifically (without posting a bond
or other security), to recover damages caused by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other
rights existing in their favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that a breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable
harm and money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach and that, in addition to any other rights and remedies
existing hereunder, any party shall be entitled to specific performance and/or other injunctive relief from any court of law or
equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent violation of the provisions
of this Agreement.
12.9 Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder
of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way
be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, and the parties hereto shall use their reasonable best efforts to find and employ
an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant
or restriction, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties hereto shall be enforceable to the fullest
extent permitted by law.
12.10 No Recourse.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees and acknowledges
that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement, shall be had
against any current or future director, officer, employee, general or limited partner or member of any Holder of Registrable Securities
or of any Affiliate or assignee thereof, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding,
or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability
whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any current or future officer, agent or employee of any Holder
of Registrable Securities or any current or future member of any Holder of Registrable Securities or any current or future director,
officer, employee, partner or member of any Holder of Registrable Securities or of any Affiliate or assignee thereof, as such for
any obligation of any Holder of Registrable Securities under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection
with this Agreement for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation.
12.11 Entire Agreement.
This Agreement is intended by the parties hereto as a final expression of their agreement and is intended to be a complete and
exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein
and the registration rights granted by the Company with respect to the Registrable Securities.
12.12 Other
Registration Rights. The Company represents and warrants that no person, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities, has
any right to require the Company to register any securities of the Company for sale or to include such securities of the Company
in any registration filed by the Company for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other person.
This Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or similar agreement with any Holder, including, without limitation,
the Prior Agreement, and the Prior Agreement is hereby terminated. After the date of this Agreement, subject to Section 2.5,
the Company shall not enter into any agreement with any Holder or prospective Holder of any securities of the Company that would
grant such Holder registration rights on a parity with or senior to those granted to the Holders hereunder without the prior written
consent of the Holders at the time in question.
12.13 Further Assurances.
At any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the parties hereto agree to cooperate with each other, and at the request
of any other party, to execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further action as the other
party may reasonably request in order to evidence or effect the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and to otherwise
carry out the intent of the parties hereunder.
12.14 No Inconsistent
Agreements. The Company shall not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with
or violates the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement.

Exhibit 10.3
ESCROW
AGREEMENT
THIS
ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated __________, 20__, is entered into by and among GARNERO GROUP ACQUISITION
COMPANY, a Cayman Islands company (“GGAC”), __________ and __________, acting as the Committee (as such term
is defined in the Investment Agreement (as defined below)), ALVARO JABUR MALUF JUNIOR, acting as the representative (the “Representative”)
of the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders (as such terms are defined in that Investment Agreement), and CONTINENTAL STOCK
TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”). Capitalized terms used herein that are
not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Investment Agreement.
WHEREAS,
GGAC, Q1 Comercial de Roupas S.A. (the “Company”), the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders (collectively,
the “Owners” and together with their permitted transferees, the “Owner Parties”) have entered
into that certain Investment Agreement, dated as of August 26, 2015 (the “Investment Agreement”), pursuant
to which the Owners have contributed to GGAC all of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Company in exchange for certain ordinary
shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of GGAC (“GGAC Ordinary Shares”).
WHEREAS,
pursuant to the Investment Agreement, GGAC is to be indemnified in certain respects by the Owners.
WHEREAS,
pursuant to the Investment Agreement, a portion of the GGAC Ordinary Shares issued to the Owners are required to be surrendered
to GGAC for cancellation in the event that the Company does not attain certain financial performance targets.
WHEREAS,
the parties desire to establish an escrow fund as collateral security for the foregoing obligations, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein.
The
parties agree as follows:
1. (a) Concurrently
with the execution hereof, an aggregate of six hundred thousand (600,000) GGAC Ordinary Shares issued to the Owners at the Closing
pursuant to the Investment Agreement, registered in the name of and allocated among the Owners in the amounts set forth on Schedule
A attached hereto, together with two (2) instruments of assignment executed in blank by each such Owner, shall be delivered
to the Escrow Agent to be held in escrow pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The GGAC Ordinary Shares so delivered by the
Owners to the Escrow Agent are herein referred to in the aggregate as the “Escrow Fund.” The Escrow Agent shall
maintain a separate account for each Owner’s, and, subsequent to any transfer permitted pursuant to Section 1(d) hereof,
each Owner Party’s, portion of the Escrow Fund.
(a) The
parties hereto hereby appoint the Escrow Agent to act, and the Escrow Agent hereby agrees to act, as escrow agent and to hold,
safeguard and disburse the Escrow Fund pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof. It shall treat the Escrow Fund as a trust
fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and not as the property of GGAC. The Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder
shall terminate upon its distribution of the entire Escrow Fund in accordance with this Agreement.
(b) Except
as herein provided, the Owners shall retain all of their rights as shareholders of GGAC with respect to the GGAC Ordinary Shares
constituting the Escrow Fund during the period the Escrow Fund is held by the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Period”),
including, without limitation, the right to vote their GGAC Ordinary Shares included in the Escrow Fund.
(c) During
the Escrow Period, all dividends payable in cash, shares (except as provided in the following sentence) or other non-cash property
with respect to the GGAC Ordinary Shares included in the Escrow Fund shall be paid to the Owners. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if after the date hereof, the number of outstanding GGAC Ordinary Shares is increased by a share dividend payable without any
further consideration in GGAC Ordinary Shares, or by a split up of the GGAC Ordinary Shares, or other similar event, then all
such GGAC Ordinary Shares issued in respect of the GGAC Ordinary Shares then comprising the Escrow Fund as a result of such action
(“Dividend Shares”) shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent to hold in accordance with the terms hereof. As
used herein, the term “Escrow Fund” shall be deemed to include the Dividends Shares distributed thereon, if any.
(d) During
the Escrow Period, no sale, transfer or other disposition, including any pledge or grant of a security interest, may be made of
any or all of the GGAC Ordinary Shares in the Escrow Fund, unless the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and
conditions of the applicable provisions of the Investment Agreement and to appoint the Representative to take any and all actions
and make any decisions required or permitted to be taken on the behalf of the transferee under the Investment Agreement and this
Agreement. In connection with and as a condition to each such transfer, the transferee shall deliver to the Escrow Agent an instrument
of assignment executed by the transferring Owner Party, or where applicable, an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, evidencing
the transfer of shares to the transferee, together with two (2) instruments of assignment executed in blank by the transferee,
with respect to the shares transferred to the transferee. Upon receipt of such documents, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to GGAC’s
transfer agent the instrument of assignment executed by the transferring Owner Party, and shall request that transfer agent transfer
the shares to the transferee. GGAC, the transferring Owner Party and the transferee shall cooperate in all respects with the Escrow
Agent in documenting each such transfer and in effectuating the result intended to be accomplished thereby.
2. (a) GGAC,
acting through the Committee, may make a claim for indemnification pursuant to the Investment Agreement (“Indemnification
Claim”) against the Escrow Fund by giving notice (a “Notice”) to the Representative (the party against
whom a claim is being made, the “Indemnifying Party”), with a copy to the Escrow Agent, specifying (i) the
provision contained in the Investment Agreement which it asserts has been breached or otherwise entitles such party to indemnification,
(ii) in reasonable detail, the nature and dollar amount of any Indemnification Claim, and (iii) whether the Indemnification Claim
results from a Third Party Claim. Furthermore, if the Indemnification Claim results from a Third Party Claim, the Notice shall
specify whether the Loss may be covered (in whole or in part) under any insurance and the estimated amount of such Loss which
may be covered under such insurance. The party giving Notice (the “Claimant”) also shall deliver to the Escrow
Agent (with a copy to the Indemnifying Party), concurrently with its delivery to the Escrow Agent of the Notice, a certification
as to the date on which the Notice was delivered to the Indemnifying Party.
(b) If
the Indemnifying Party shall give a notice to the Claimant (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) (a “Counter Notice”),
within 30 days following the date of receipt (as specified in the Claimant’s certification) by the Indemnifying Party of
a copy of the Notice, disputing whether the Indemnification Claim is indemnifiable under the Investment Agreement, the Committee
and the Representative shall attempt to resolve such dispute by voluntary settlement as provided in Section 2(c) below. If no
Counter Notice with respect to an Indemnification Claim is received by the Escrow Agent from the Indemnifying Party within such
30-day period, the Indemnification Claim shall be deemed to be an Established Claim (as hereinafter defined) for purposes of this
Agreement.
(c) If
the Indemnifying Party delivers a Counter Notice to the Claimant and the Escrow Agent, the Committee and the Representative shall,
during the period of 60 days following the delivery of such Counter Notice or such greater period of time as the parties may agree
to in writing (with a copy to the Escrow Agent), attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute with respect to which the Counter
Notice was given. If the Committee and the Representative shall reach a settlement with respect to any such dispute, they shall
jointly deliver written notice of such settlement to the Escrow Agent specifying the terms thereof. If the Committee and the Representative
shall be unable to reach a settlement with respect to a dispute, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to Section
2(d) below.
(d) If
the Committee and the Representative cannot resolve a dispute prior to expiration of the 60-day period referred to in Section
2(c) above (or such longer period as the parties may have agreed to in writing), then such dispute shall be submitted (and either
party may submit such dispute) for resolution in accordance with Section 8.
(e) As
used in this Agreement, “Established Claim” means any (i) Indemnification Claim deemed established pursuant
to the last sentence of Section 2(b) above, (ii) Indemnification Claim resolved in favor of a Claimant by settlement and joint
delivery of notice to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 2(c) above, resulting in a dollar award to the Claimant, or (iii) Indemnification
Claim sustained by a final determination of an arbitration panel in accordance with Section 8 (after exhaustion of any appeals
to a court of competent jurisdiction or expiration of the time period for filing any such appeal); provided that, notwithstanding
anything herein, no Indemnification Claim by GGAC shall become an Established Claim (x) unless the indemnifiable Losses with respect
to such Indemnification Claim exceed $30,000 (the “De Minimis Amount”) and (y) unless and until the aggregate
amount of indemnification Losses exceeds the Deductible, in which event the full amount of such Established Claim(s) shall be
payable, in each case, with respect to Indemnification Claims subject to such limitations pursuant to the terms of the Investment
Agreement.
(f) (i) Promptly
after an Indemnification Claim becomes an Established Claim, the Committee shall deliver a Claim Certification & Instructions
in accordance with Section 3(b) below directing the Escrow Agent to pay to the Claimant, and the Escrow Agent promptly shall pay
from the Escrow Fund to the Claimant in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3(b) below, a whole number of shares
(as calculated pursuant to Section 2(f)(ii) below) representing the dollar amount (as rounded pursuant to Section 2(f)(ii) below)
of the Established Claim (or, if at such time there remains in the Escrow Fund less than the full amount so payable, the full
amount remaining in the Escrow Fund).
(ii) Payment
to GGAC of an Established Claim shall be made from Escrow Shares on a pro rata basis in whole, not fractional, shares, as rounded
pursuant to the following sentence, from the accounts maintained on behalf of each Owner Party. For purposes of each indemnification
payment, (x) such shares shall be valued at the “Fair Market Value” (as defined below) and (y) to the extent that
an Owner Party’s pro rata portion of an Established Claim which is payable after taking into account the Deductible and
the De Minimis Amount results in a fractional number of GGAC Ordinary Shares, any fraction of such GGAC Ordinary Share that is
less than one half of a share will be rounded down to the next whole share and any fraction of such GGAC Ordinary Share that is
equal to or more than one half of a share will be rounded up to the next whole share. However, in no event shall the Escrow Agent
be required to calculate Fair Market Value or make a determination of the number of shares to be delivered or released in satisfaction
of any Established Claim; rather, such calculation shall be included in and made part of the Claim Certification & Instructions.
The Escrow Agent shall transfer out of the Escrow Fund that number of GGAC Ordinary Shares necessary to satisfy each Established
Claim (after taking into account the Deductible and the De Minimis Amount), as set out in the Claim Certification & Instructions.
Any dispute between the Committee and the Representative concerning the calculation of Fair Market Value or the number of shares
necessary to satisfy any Established Claim, or any other dispute regarding a Claim Certification & Instructions, shall be
resolved between the Committee and the Representative in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 2(d) above, and shall
not involve the Escrow Agent. Each transfer of shares in satisfaction of an Established Claim shall be made by the Escrow Agent
delivering to the Claimant GGAC Ordinary Shares held in each Owner Party’s account evidencing not less than such Owner Party’s
pro rata portion of the aggregate number of shares specified in the Claim Certification & Instructions, by delivery to GGAC’s
transfer agent of instruments of assignment completed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with instructions included in the Claim
Certification & Instructions. The parties hereto (other than the Escrow Agent) agree that the foregoing right to make payments
of Established Claims in GGAC Ordinary Shares may be made notwithstanding any other agreements restricting or limiting the ability
of any Owner Party to sell any GGAC Ordinary Shares or otherwise. The Committee and the Representative shall be required to exercise
utmost good faith in all matters relating to the preparation and delivery of the Claim Certification & Instructions and Pending
Claim Objection Notice, as applicable. As used herein, “Fair Market Value” means the average reported closing
price for the GGAC Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq for the thirty trading days ending on the last trading day prior to (x) the day the
Established Claim is paid with respect to Indemnification Claims paid on or before the Escrow Termination Date and (y) the Escrow
Termination Date with respect to shares constituting the Pending Claims Reserve (as hereinafter defined), as applicable.
(iii) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, at such time as an Indemnification Claim has become an Established Claim, the Owner Parties shall
have the right but not the obligation to substitute for the Escrow Shares that otherwise would be paid in satisfaction of such
claim (the “Claim Shares”), cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Claim Shares (“Substituted
Cash”). In such event, within the ten (10) day objection period following delivery of the Claim Certification &
Instructions, (i) the Representative shall deliver a written notice to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to the Committee) describing
the substitution of Substituted Cash for the Claim Shares, and (ii) substantially contemporaneously with the delivery of such
notice, the Owner Parties shall cause currently available funds to be delivered to the Escrow Agent in an amount equal to the
Substituted Cash. Upon receipt of such notice and Substituted Cash, the Escrow Agent shall (y) in payment of the Established Claim
described in the Claim Certification & Instructions, deliver the Substituted Cash to GGAC in lieu of the Claim Shares, and
(z) cause the Claim Shares to be returned to the Owners.
3. (a) On
the Basic Indemnity Escrow Termination Date, upon the Escrow Agent’s receipt of a notice jointly delivered by the Representative
and the Committee (a “Joint Notice”), the Escrow Agent shall (i) distribute and deliver (A) to GGAC, the number
of GGAC Ordinary Shares specified in such Joint Notice, pro rata in whole, not fractional, shares, as rounded pursuant to Section
2(f)(ii), from the accounts maintained on behalf of the Owner Parties and (B) to each Owner Party, the GGAC Ordinary Shares then
in such Owner Party’s account in the Escrow Fund (after taking into account any distribution to GGAC pursuant to the foregoing
clause (A)), in each case, as instructed in the Joint Notice; and (ii) shall continue to hold in accordance with the instructions
in the Joint Notice (A) the number of shares in the Pending Claims Reserve allocated to such Owner Party’s account, with
respect to Indemnification Claims pursuant to which Notices have been received but which have not been resolved pursuant to Section
2 hereof or in respect of which the Escrow Agent has not been notified of, and received a copy of, a final determination of an
arbitration panel in accordance with Section 8 (after exhaustion of any appeals to a court of competent jurisdiction or expiration
of the time period for filing any such appeal), as the case may be (in either case, “Pending Claims”), and
which, if resolved or finally determined in favor of a Claimant, would result in a payment to Claimant, having a Fair Market Value
equal to the dollar amount for which indemnification is sought in such Indemnification Claim, allocated pro rata from the account
maintained on behalf of each Owner Party, and (B) the remaining Tax Indemnity Shares allocated to such Owner Party’s account.
The Committee and the Representative shall certify to the Escrow Agent the Fair Market Value to be used in calculating the Pending
Claims Reserve and the number of GGAC Ordinary Shares to be retained therefor.
(b) At
any time and from time to time, if any Pending Claim becomes an Established Claim, the Committee shall deliver to the Escrow Agent
(with a copy to the Representative) a certification by the Committee that such Pending Claim has become an Established Claim and
instructions (a “Claim Certification & Instructions”) directing the Escrow Agent to deliver to the Claimant
the number of shares in the Pending Claims Reserve in respect thereof determined in accordance with Section 2(f) above and to
deliver to each Owner Party the remaining shares in the Pending Claims Reserve allocated to such Pending Claim, all as specified
in such notice. If, within ten (10) days following the date of receipt of the Claim Certification & Instructions, the Representative
delivers to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to the Committee) written notice disputing such Claim Certification & Instructions
(a “Pending Claim Objection Notice”), then the Committee and the Representative shall attempt in good faith
to resolve such dispute by voluntary settlement within fifteen (15) days following the delivery of such Pending Claim Objection
Notice and shall follow the procedures set forth in the last two sentences of Section 2(c) above. If no Pending Claim Objection
Notice is received by the Escrow Agent from the Representative within such ten (10) day period, then the Escrow Agent shall distribute
the shares in the Pending Claims Reserve pursuant to the Claim Certification & Instructions. If any Pending Claim is resolved
against GGAC, the Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to the Committee) a certification by the Representative
that such Pending Claim has been resolved against GGAC and instructions directing the Escrow Agent to pay to each Owner Party
its pro rata portion of the number of shares allocated to such Pending Claim in the Pending Claims Reserve, except to the extent
any such shares constitute Tax Indemnity Shares. If, within ten (10) days following the date of receipt of the Representative’s
certification and instructions, the Committee delivers to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to the Representative) a Pending Claim
Objection Notice, then the Committee and the Representative shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute by voluntary settlement
within fifteen (15) days following the delivery of such Pending Claim Objection Notice and shall follow the procedures set forth
in the last two sentences of Section 2(c) above. If no Pending Claim Objection Notice is received by the Escrow Agent from the
Committee within such ten (10) day period, then the Escrow Agent shall distribute the shares to the Owner Parties pursuant to
the certification and instructions provided by the Representative.
(c) On
the Tax Indemnity Escrow Termination Date, upon receipt of instructions from, and a certification by, the Representative (a “Release
Certification & Instructions”) (which shall be delivered by the Representative to the Escrow Agent (with a copy
to the Committee)), certifying as to the date on which the Company delivered to GGAC its 2017 audited financial statements, the
Escrow Agent shall distribute and deliver to each Owner Party the GGAC Ordinary Shares then in such Owner Party’s account
in the Escrow Fund that are Tax Indemnity Shares as instructed in the Release Certification & Instructions other than Tax
Indemnity Shares in the Pending Claims Reserve; provided, however, that if, within ten (10)
days of the Committee’s receipt of a copy of the Release Certification & Instructions, the Committee delivers a written
objection to such Release Certification & Instructions (a “Release Objection Notice”) to the Escrow Agent
(with a copy to the Representative), the Committee and the Representative shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute
by voluntary settlement as provided in Section 3(e) below; and provided, further, that the Escrow Agent shall not
make any distributions under this Section 3(b) until expiration of the ten (10) day objection period for which no Release Objection
Notice has been delivered. Thereafter, if any Pending Claim becomes an Established Claim or is resolved or finally determined
against GGAC, the parties hereto shall follow the Pending Claim procedures set forth in Section 3(b) above.
(d) As
used herein, the “Pending Claims Reserve” shall mean, at the time any such determination is made, that number
of GGAC Ordinary Shares in the Escrow Fund having a Fair Market Value equal to the sum of the aggregate dollar amounts claimed
to be due with respect to all Pending Claims.
(e) If
the Committee delivers a Release Objection Notice to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 3(c) above, the Committee and the Representative
shall promptly attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute with respect to which such Release Objection Notice was given. If
the Committee and the Representative shall reach a settlement on such dispute, they shall jointly deliver notice of such agreement
to the Escrow Agent. If the Committee and the Representative shall be unable to reach agreement with respect to a dispute within
five (5) Business Days of the Representative’s receipt of a copy of the Release Objection Notice, then the dispute shall
be submitted (and either party may submit such dispute) for resolution in accordance with Section 8.
4. The
Escrow Agent, the Committee and the Representative shall cooperate in all respects with one another in the calculation of any
amounts determined to be payable to GGAC and the Owners in accordance with this Agreement and in implementing the procedures necessary
to effect such payments.
5. (a) The
Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein. It is understood that the Escrow Agent
is not a trustee or fiduciary and is acting hereunder merely in a ministerial capacity.
(b) The
Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment,
and may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel
(including counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due
execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information
therein contained) which is believed by the Escrow Agent in good faith to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper
person or persons. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission
of this Agreement unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the
duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall have given its prior written consent thereto.
(c) The
Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility upon receipt of any notice requiring any payment to GGAC or release of GGAC Ordinary
Shares to the Owners, in each case, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or, if a notice is disputed, the settlement with respect
to any such dispute, whether by virtue of joint resolution or determination of an arbitration panel or a court of competent jurisdiction,
is to pay or release, after the conditions for payment set forth herein have been met, to GGAC or the Owners, as applicable, the
amount specified in such notice, and the Escrow Agent shall have no duty to determine the validity, authenticity or enforceability
of any specification or certification made in such notice.
(d) The
Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the rights
or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement, and may consult with counsel of its own choice and shall have full and complete
authorization and indemnification under Section 5(g), below, for any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and
in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.
(e) The
Escrow Agent may resign at any time and be discharged from its duties as escrow agent hereunder by its giving the other parties
hereto written notice and such resignation shall become effective as hereinafter provided. Such resignation shall become effective
at such time that the Escrow Agent shall turn over the Escrow Fund to a successor escrow agent appointed jointly by the Committee
and the Representative. If no new escrow agent is so appointed within the 60 day period following the giving of such notice of
resignation, the Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent
or for other appropriate relief, and deposit the Escrow Fund with such successor escrow agent appointed thereby.
(f) The
Escrow Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless by GGAC from and against any expenses, including counsel fees and disbursements,
or loss actually incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding involving any claim which
in any way, directly or indirectly, arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services of the Escrow Agent hereunder, or
the Escrow Fund held by it hereunder, other than (i) expenses or losses finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent or (ii) any settlement entered into by the
Escrow Agent without GGAC’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Promptly after the receipt by the
Escrow Agent of notice of any demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, the Escrow Agent shall notify
the other parties hereto in writing. In the event of the receipt of such notice, the Escrow Agent, in its sole discretion, may
commence an action in the nature of interpleader in the any state or federal court located in New York County, State of New York.
(g) The
Escrow Agent shall be entitled to reasonable compensation from GGAC for all services rendered by it hereunder or set forth on
Schedule B attached hereto. The Escrow Agent shall also be entitled to reimbursement from GGAC for all reasonable, documented
out-of pocket expenses paid or incurred by it in the administration of its duties hereunder including, but not limited to, all
counsel, advisors’ and agents’ fees and disbursements and all taxes or other governmental charges.
(h) From
time to time on and after the date hereof, GGAC, the Committee and the Representative shall deliver or cause to be delivered to
the Escrow Agent such further documents and instruments and shall do or cause to be done such further acts as the Escrow Agent
shall reasonably request to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Agreement, to evidence compliance herewith
or to assure itself that it is protected in acting hereunder.
(i) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Escrow Agent shall not be relieved from liability hereunder for its own gross negligence
or its own willful misconduct.
6. This
Agreement expressly sets forth all the duties of the Escrow Agent with respect to any and all matters pertinent hereto. No implied
duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by the provisions
of any agreement among the parties hereto except this Agreement and shall have no duty to inquire into the terms and conditions
of any agreement made or entered into in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Investment Agreement.
7. This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and their respective heirs, successors, assigns and legal
representatives shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of New York applicable to contracts made and to
be performed therein. This Agreement cannot be changed or terminated except by a writing signed by GGAC, the Committee, the Representative
and the Escrow Agent.
8. All
disputes arising under this Agreement between GGAC, the Committee and/or the Representative, including a dispute arising from
a party’s failure or refusal to sign a Joint Notice, shall be handled in accordance with Section 10.12 of the Investment
Agreement.
9. All

Exhibit 99.1
Garnero Group (NASDAQ: GGAC) to Merge
with Grupo Colombo
NEW YORK, August 27, 2015 -- Garnero Group Acquisition Company
(NASDAQ: GGAC), a public investment vehicle formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, acquisition or similar business combination,
and Grupo Colombo (“Grupo Colombo” or “GC”), a leading apparel retailer in Brazil, announced today that
they have entered into a definitive investment agreement to merge the companies in a transaction valued at approximately $330 million.
The combined company will remain listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market and be renamed “Garnero Colombo Inc.”
Headquartered in São Paulo, Grupo Colombo is one of
Brazil’s leading retailers focusing on menswear, with over 400 stores throughout the country. Founded in 1917, Grupo Colombo
is the largest retailer of men’s shirts and suits in Brazil with net revenues of R$550 million ($234 million1)
and EBITDA2 of R$133 million ($57 million) in 2014.
GC has recently diversified from formalwear into smart casual clothes and has strengthened its online presence to become one of
the three most valuable brands within the Brazilian apparel retail sector.
Transaction Summary
Pursuant to the terms of the proposed business merger, GGAC
will become the owner of 100% of the equity of GC by issuing 6,000,000 GGAC shares to GC’s existing shareholders. After the
closing of the transaction, the current shareholders and management of GC will own approximately 25%3
of the combined company.
In connection with the transaction, the companies have engaged
a syndicate of global investment banks to raise up to $100 million in a private placement of new GGAC shares to close simultaneously
with the business combination. Additionally in support for the transaction, the shareholders of GC have committed to purchase $30
million of GGAC shares in the public market or through the private placement.
Mario Garnero will remain Executive Chairman of Garnero Colombo
Inc. and Alvaro Jabur Jr., GC’s Chief Executive Officer, will be appointed as Member of the Board of the merged company.
Mr. Jabur will keep his role as Chief Executive Officer to manage the operation in Brazil with the current senior management of
Grupo Colombo.
The boards of directors of both GGAC and Grupo Colombo have
unanimously approved the terms of the transaction, which is expected to be completed by year’s end. The transaction is subject
to GGAC shareholder approval, applicable regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
“I created GGAC to pursue business opportunities that
would provide long term growth and shareholder value,” said Mario Garnero, Executive Chairman of GGAC. “The Colombo
brand is highly regarded and we believe the cash infusion, without further changes to operations, will result in immediate and
significant improvement in bottom line results.”
“We are excited to partner with
the GGAC team and to be a public company with access to public markets,” said Alvaro Jabur Jr., CEO of Grupo Colombo. “A
stronger balance sheet will improve our pricing, our operating results and provide the capital we need to grow through additional
store openings and acquisitions.”
UBS Investment Bank is acting as M&A advisor to Grupo
Colombo and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. is acting as M&A advisor to GGAC. McDermott Will & Emery and Souza, Cescon, Barrieu
& Flesch are acting as legal advisors to Grupo Colombo and Graubard Miller and Maples & Calder are acting as legal advisors
to GGAC.
The description of the transaction
contained herein is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the definitive agreement relating to the transaction,
a copy of which will be filed by GGAC with the SEC as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K. Interested parties should visit

The GGAC shares offered in the private placement have not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration
or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation
of an offer to buy GGAC shares, nor shall it constitute an offer or solicitation in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation
is unlawful.

EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes depreciation and amortization) is a non-GAAP financial measure
as defined by Regulation G promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Accordingly, such information
may be materially different when presented in GGAC’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. GGAC and GC believe
that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure provides information that is useful to investors as it indicates more
clearly the ability of GC to meet capital expenditures and working capital requirements and otherwise meet its obligations as
they become due. EBITDA was derived by taking earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as adjusted for certain
one-time non-recurring items and exclusions.
