As Representatives of the several Underwriters

Dear Sirs:

1. INTRODUCTORY. Roth CH Acquisition II Co., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to sell, pursuant to the terms of this Underwriting Agreement (the “Agreement”), to the several underwriters named in Schedule A hereto (the “Underwriters,” and each an “Underwriter”), an aggregate of 10,000,000 units of the Company (the “Firm Units”) at a purchase price (net of discounts and commissions) of $9.90 per Firm Unit. Each Firm Unit consists of one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock” and the shares of Common Stock included in the Firm Units, the “Firm Shares”) of the Company and one-half of one warrant (collectively, the “Firm Warrants”), of which each whole Firm Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock under the terms further described below. The Company also proposes to sell to the several Underwriters, upon the terms and conditions set forth in Section 3 hereof, up to an additional 1,500,000 units (the “Optional Units”), each unit consisting of one share of Common Stock (collectively, the “Optional Shares”) and three-quarters of one warrant as described above (collectively, the “Optional Warrants”). The Firm Units and the Optional Units are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the “Public Units”; the Firm Shares and the Optional Shares as the “Public Shares”; and the Firm Warrants and the Optional Warrants as the “Public Warrants.” Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”) and Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC (“Craig-Hallum”) are acting as representatives of the several Underwriters and in such capacity are hereinafter referred to as the “Representatives.” The several Underwriters propose initially to offer the Public Units for sale upon the terms set forth in the Prospectus (as defined below).

The Public Shares and the Public Warrants included in the Firm Units and any Optional Units will not be separately tradable until the 90^th day after the date hereof unless the Representatives inform the Company of their decision to allow earlier separate trading, subject to the Company filing a Current Report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) containing an audited balance sheet reflecting the Company’s receipt of gross proceeds from the initial public offering contemplated by this Agreement (the “Offering”) and issuing a press release announcing when such separate trading will begin. Each whole Public Warrant entitles its holder to purchase one share of Common Stock for $11.50 per share during the period commencing thirty (30) days after the completion of an initial Business Combination, and (ii) expiring at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the fifth anniversary of the completion of an initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption; provided that no fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued in respect of the Public Warrants. As used herein, the term “Business Combination,” as described more fully in the Registration Statement (as defined below), shall mean a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities and involving the Company.

In February 2019, the Company issued an aggregate of 100 shares of Common Stock (the “Insider Shares”) to CR Financial Holdings, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. In June 2020, the Company effected a dividend of 43,125 shares for each share outstanding resulting in there being an aggregate of 4,312,500 Insider Shares outstanding. In August 2020, CR Financial Holdings, Inc. transferred 1,437,500 shares of common stock back to the Company for nominal consideration, which shares were cancelled. That same day, CHLM Sponsor-1 LLC, an entity affiliated with Craig-Hallum, and certain of the Company’s directors, officers and affiliates of the Company’s management team purchased from CR Financial Holdings, Inc. an aggregate of 745,840 Insider Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $6,485.56. The Insider Shares include an aggregate of up to 375,000 shares of Common Stock subject to forfeiture to the extent the Over-Allotment Option (as defined below) is not exercised in full, so that the holders of the Insider Shares will collectively own 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock after the Offering (excluding the sale of Private Units (as defined below) and assuming that holders of the Insider Shares do not purchase Public Units in the Offering).

The holders of the Insider Shares affiliated with any Underwriter will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate any of the Insider Shares for a period of 360 days pursuant to FINRA Conduct Rule 5110(e)(1) following the effective date of the Registration Statement to anyone other than (i) the Representatives or an Underwriter or selected dealer in connection with the Offering, or (ii) a bona fide officer or partner of the Representatives or of any such Underwriter or selected dealer. Additionally, pursuant to FINRA Conduct Rule 5110(e), the Insider Shares will not be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 360 days immediately following the effective date of the Registration Statement. The certificates for the Insider Shares shall contain legends to reflect the above FINRA and contractual transfer restrictions. The holders of the Insider Shares shall have registration rights as provided for in the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below) which will be in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110.05.

The Company has entered into certain Subscription Agreements for Private Units (the “Private Unit Subscription Agreements”) dated as of December 10, 2020, with certain of the holders of Insider Shares (collectively, the “Private Unit Subscribers”), substantially in the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. Pursuant to the Private Unit Subscription Agreements, the Private Unit Subscribers have agreed to purchase from the Company an aggregate of 260,000 units (or up to 275,000 units depending on the extent to which the Over-Allotment Option is exercised) (the “Private Units” and, together with the Public Units, the “Units”), each unit consisting of one share of Common Stock (collectively, the “Private Shares” and, together with the Public Shares, the “Shares”) and three-quarters of one warrant (collectively, the “Private Warrants” and, together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”). The Private Units, Private Shares and Private Warrants are substantially similar to the Public Units, Public Shares and Public Warrants, respectively, except to the extent contemplated in the General Disclosure Package (as defined below) and the Prospectus.

The Company has entered into an Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“CST”), as trustee, substantially in the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (the “Trust Agreement”), pursuant to which the proceeds from the sale of the Private Units and a portion of the proceeds from the Offering will be deposited and held in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of the Company, the Underwriters and the holders of the Public Units.

The Company has entered into a Warrant Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, with respect to the Warrants with CST, as warrant agent, substantially in the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (the “Warrant Agreement”), pursuant to which CST will act as warrant agent in connection with the issuance, registration, transfer, exchange, redemption and exercise of the Warrants.

The Company has entered into an Escrow Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, with CST, as escrow agent, substantially in the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (the “Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which the Insider Shares will be placed in escrow with CST until the fulfillment of certain conditions set forth therein.

The Company has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, with the holders of the Insider Shares and the Private Unit Subscribers (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), substantially in the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, pursuant to which the Company has granted certain registration rights in respect of, among other securities, the Insider Shares, the Private Units and the securities underlying the Private Units.

The Company has entered into letter agreements (the “Insider Letters”), dated as of the date hereof, with the Company’s initial stockholders, officers and directors, substantially in the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, pursuant to which the initial stockholders, officers and directors agree to certain actions described in the Prospectus.

The Company confirms that it has engaged EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EBC”), and EBC confirms its agreement with the Company, to render services as a “qualified independent underwriter” within the meaning of Rule 5121 of the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) with respect to the Offering. EBC, solely in its capacity as a qualified independent underwriter with respect to the Offering, and not otherwise, is referred to herein as the “QIU.”

3. PURCHASE, SALE AND DELIVERY OF OFFERED SECURITIES. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters agree, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company the respective number of Firm Units set forth opposite the names of the Underwriters in Schedule A hereto.

The purchase price per share to be paid by the Underwriters to the Company for the Firm Units will be (net of discounts and commissions to the Underwriters) $9.90 per Unit (the “Purchase Price”).

The Company will deliver the Firm Units to the Representatives for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters, through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or, at the election of the Representatives, in the form of definitive certificates, in each such case, issued in such names and in such denominations as the Representatives may direct by notice in writing to the Company given at or prior to 12:00 Noon, New York time, on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date against payment of the aggregate Purchase Price therefor by wire transfer in federal (same day) funds to the Trust Account and such other account(s) as may be specified by the Company. Time shall be of the essence, and delivery at the time and place specified pursuant to this Agreement is a condition of the obligations of each Underwriter hereunder. The time and date of the delivery and closing shall be at 12:00 Noon, New York time, on December 15, 2020, in accordance with Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act.

The number of Optional Units to be sold to each Underwriter shall be the number which bears the same proportion to the aggregate number of Optional Units being purchased as the number of Firm Units set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter on Schedule A hereto bears to the total number of Firm Units (subject, in each case, to such adjustment as the Representatives may determine to eliminate fractional shares).

Each date and time for delivery of and payment for Optional Units (which may be the Initial Closing Date, but not earlier) is herein called the “Option Closing Date” and shall in no event be earlier than two (2) business days nor later than five (5) business days after written notice of exercise is given.

The Option Closing Date and the location of delivery of, and the form of payment for, the Optional Units may be varied by agreement between the Company and the Representatives.

        (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 7 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; and, provided, further, that the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7. If any such action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (which counsel shall not, except with the written consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party). After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such action, except as provided herein, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under Section 7 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense of such action other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense of such action but the fees and expenses of such counsel (other than reasonable costs of investigation) shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized in writing by the Company in the case of a claim for indemnification under Section 7(a) or the Representatives in the case of a claim for indemnification under Section 7(b), (ii) such indemnified party shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be one or more actual or potential legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) such indemnified party is a QIU Indemnified Party and shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be one or more actual or potential legal defenses available to the QIU Indemnified Parties which are different from or additional to those available to other indemnified parties or (iv) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party within a reasonable period of time after notice of the commencement of the action or the indemnifying party does not diligently defend the action after assumption of the defense, in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of (or, in the case of a failure to diligently defend the action after assumption of the defense, to continue to defend) such action on behalf of such indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall be responsible for legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense of such action; provided, however, that except in the circumstances described in clauses (iii) or (iv) of this Section 7(c), the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties (in addition to any local counsel), which firm shall be designated in writing by the Representatives if the indemnified parties under this Section 7 consist of any Underwriter Indemnified Party or by the Company if the indemnified parties under this Section 7 consist of any Company Indemnified Parties. Subject to this Section 7(c), the amount payable by an indemnifying party under Section 7 shall include, but not be limited to, (x) reasonable legal fees and expenses of counsel to the indemnified party and any other expenses in investigating, or preparing to defend or defending against, or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with, any action, investigation, proceeding or claim and (y) all amounts paid in settlement of any of the foregoing. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to any pending or threatened action or any claim whatsoever, in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 7 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. Subject to the provisions of the following sentence, no indemnifying party shall be liable for settlement of any pending or threatened action or any claim whatsoever that is effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with its written consent, if its consent has been unreasonably withheld or delayed or if there be a judgment for the plaintiff in any such matter, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. In addition, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested that an indemnifying party reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 7(a) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than forty-five (45) days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the request for reimbursement, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least thirty (30) days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 7(a) or 7(b), then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid, payable or otherwise incurred by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (or any action, investigation or proceeding in respect thereof), as incurred, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Public Units or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) of this Section 7(d) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to it in clause (i) of this Section 7(d) but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other with respect to the statements, omissions, acts or failures to act which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (or any action, investigation or proceeding in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Public Units purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to the Public Units purchased under this Agreement, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement, omission, act or failure to act; provided that the parties hereto agree that the written information furnished to the Company through the Representatives by or on behalf of the Underwriters for use in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, consists solely of the Underwriters’ Information.

(e) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to Section 7(d) above were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to Section 7(d) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding referred to in Section 7(d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with, any such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, none of the Underwriters and the QIU shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions or other fee received by such person with respect to the Offering exceeds the amount of any damages which the person has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission, act or alleged act or failure to act. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

8. TERMINATION. The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be terminated by the Representatives, in their absolute discretion, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Firm Units if, prior to that time, any of the events described in Sections 6(i), 6(j) or 6(k) have occurred or if the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Firm Units for any reason permitted under this Agreement.

9. REIMBURSEMENT OF UNDERWRITERS’ EXPENSES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if (a) this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Sections 8 or 10, (b) the Company shall fail to tender the Firm Units for delivery to the Underwriters for any reason not permitted under this Agreement, (c) the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Firm Units for any reason permitted under this Agreement or (d) the sale of the Firm Units is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth herein is not satisfied or because of the refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or to satisfy any condition or to comply with the provisions hereof, then in addition to the payment of amounts in accordance with Section 5, the Company shall reimburse the Underwriters, pro rata based on the number of Firm Units each Underwriter agreed to sell hereunder, for the fees and expenses of Underwriters’ counsel and for such other out-of-pocket expenses as shall have been reasonably incurred by them in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Firm Units, including travel and lodging expenses of the Underwriters, and upon demand the Company shall pay the full amount thereof to the Representatives; provided that if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10 by reason of the default of one or more Underwriters, the Company shall not be obligated to reimburse any defaulting Underwriter on account of expenses to the extent incurred by such defaulting Underwriter, and provided further that the foregoing shall not limit any reimbursement obligation of the Company to any non-defaulting Underwriter under this Section 9.

10. SUBSTITUTION OF UNDERWRITERS. If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall default in its or their obligations to purchase Public Units hereunder on any Closing Date and the aggregate number of shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total number of Units to be purchased by all Underwriters on such Closing Date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Units which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such Closing Date. If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall so default and the aggregate number of Units with respect to which such default or defaults occur is more than ten percent (10%) of the total number of Units to be purchased by all Underwriters on such Closing Date and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such Units by other persons are not made within forty-eight (48) hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate.

If the remaining Underwriters or substituted Underwriters are required hereby or agree to take up all or part of the Public Units of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters on such Closing Date as provided in this Section 10, (i) the Company shall have the right to postpone such Closing Date for a period of not more than five (5) full business days in order that the Company may effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees promptly to file any amendments to the Registration Statement or supplements to the Prospectus which may thereby be made necessary and (ii) the respective numbers of Units to be purchased by the remaining Underwriters or substituted Underwriters shall be taken as the basis of their underwriting obligation for all purposes of this Agreement. Nothing herein contained shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability to the Company or the other Underwriters for damages occasioned by its default hereunder. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except that the representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities, agreements and other statements set forth in Section 2, the obligations with respect to expenses to be paid or reimbursed pursuant to Sections 5 and 9 and the provisions of Section 7 and Sections 11 through 21, inclusive, shall not terminate and shall remain in full force and effect.

11. ABSENCE OF FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP. The Company acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) each Underwriter’s responsibility to the Company is solely contractual in nature, the QIU’s responsibility is solely contractual in nature, the Representatives have been retained solely to act as underwriter in connection with the sale of the Public Units and no fiduciary, advisory or agency duty or relationship between the Representatives, any other Underwriter or the QIU, on the one hand, and the Company or any other party, on the other hand, has been created as a result of this Agreement or in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, irrespective of whether the Representative, any other Underwriter or the QIU has advised or is advising the Company on other matters;

(b) the price of the Public Units set forth in this Agreement was established by the Company following discussions and arm’s-length negotiations with the Representatives, and the Company is capable of evaluating and understanding, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(c) it has been advised that the Representatives and their affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Company and that the Representatives have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Company by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and

(d) it waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against the Representatives or the QIU for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that each of the Representatives and the QIU shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Company, including stockholders, employees or creditors of the Company.

12. SUCCESSORS; PERSONS ENTITLED TO BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the several Underwriters, the Company and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, other than the persons mentioned in the preceding sentence, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement, or any provisions herein contained, this Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof being intended to be and being for the sole and exclusive benefit of such persons and for the benefit of no other person; except that the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and indemnities of the Company contained in this Agreement shall also be for the benefit of the Underwriter Indemnified Parties and the QIU Indemnified Parties, and the indemnities of the several Underwriters shall be for the benefit of the Company Indemnified Parties. No purchaser of any of the Public Units from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

13. SURVIVAL OF INDEMNITIES, REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, ETC. The respective indemnities, covenants, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Company or any person controlling any of them and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Public Units. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, including any termination pursuant to Sections 8 or 10, the indemnities, covenants, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements set forth in Sections 2, 5, 7 and 9 and Sections 11 through 21, inclusive, of this Agreement shall not terminate and shall remain in full force and effect at all times until the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations, at which time the representations, warranties and agreements shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.
