With respect to the Business Combination Vote, the Company shall cause all of the Initial Stockholders to vote the shares of Common Stock owned by them immediately prior to this Offering in accordance with the vote of the holders of a majority of the IPO Shares. At the time the Company seeks approval of any potential Business Combination, the Company will offer each of holders of the Company's Common Stock issued in this Offering ("IPO Shares") the right to convert their IPO Shares at a per share price equal to the amount in the Trust Fund (inclusive of any interest income therein) on the record date ("Conversion Price") for determination of stockholders entitled to vote upon the proposal to approve such Business Combination ("Record Date") divided by the total number of IPO Shares.

If the Company elects to so proceed, it will convert shares, based upon the Conversion Price, from those holders of IPO Shares who affirmatively requested such conversion and who voted against the Business Combination. Only holders of IPO Shares shall be entitled to receive liquidating distributions and the Company shall pay no liquidating distributions with respect to any other shares of capital stock of the Company. If holders of 20% or more in interest of the IPO Shares vote against approval of any potential Business Combination, the Company will not proceed with such Business Combination and will not convert such shares.
