NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Appointment
of Warrant Agent.
The

bear
the facsimile signature of, the Chairman of the Board or Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Secretary or Assistant Secretary of
the
Company and shall bear a facsimile of the Company’s seal. In the event the
person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Warrant shall have

had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance.
2.2 Effect
of Countersignature.
Unless
and until countersigned by the Warrant Agent pursuant to this Agreement, a
Warrant shall be invalid and of no effect and may not be exercised by the holder
thereof.
2.3 Registration.
2.3.1 Warrant
Register.
The
Warrant Agent shall maintain books (“Warrant Register”) for the registration of
original issuance and the registration of transfer of the Warrants. Upon the
initial issuance of the Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall issue and register
the
Warrants in the names of the respective holders thereof in such denominations
and otherwise in accordance with instructions delivered to the Warrant Agent
by
the Company.
2.3.2 Registered
Holder.
Prior
to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Company
and
the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name such Warrant
shall
be registered upon the Warrant Register (“registered holder”), as the absolute
owner of such Warrant and of each Warrant represented thereby (notwithstanding
any notation of ownership or other writing on the Warrant Certificate made
by
anyone other than the Company or the Warrant Agent), for the purpose of any
exercise thereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the
Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
2.4 Detachability
of Warrants.
The
securities comprising the Units will not be separately transferable until the
earlier to occur of the expiration of the underwriters’ over-allotment option or
20 trading days after the exercise in full by the underwriters of such option

trading, but in no event will Xxxxxxxx allow separate trading of the securities
comprising the Units until the Company files a Current Report on Form 8-K,
which
includes an audited balance sheet reflecting the receipt by the Company of
the
gross proceeds of the Public Offering including the proceeds received by the
Company from the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, if the
over-allotment option is exercised prior to the filing of the Form
8-K.
2.5 Public
Warrants, Representative’s Warrants and Placement Warrants.
The
Representative’s Warrants shall have the same terms and be in the same form as
the Public Warrants except with respect to the Warrant Price as set forth below

the
same form as the Public Warrants except with respect to the transfer
restrictions set forth below in Section 5.6.
2
3. Terms
and Exercise of Warrants
3.1 Warrant
Price.
Each
Public Warrant and Placement Warrant shall, when countersigned by the Warrant
Agent, entitle the registered holder thereof, subject to the provisions of
such
Public Warrant and Placement Warrant and of this Warrant Agreement, to purchase
from the Company the number of shares of Common Stock stated therein, at the
price of $5.00 per whole share, subject to the adjustments provided in Section
4
hereof and in the last sentence of this Section 3.1. Each Representative’s
Warrant shall, when countersigned by the Warrant Agent, entitle the registered
holder thereof, subject to the provisions of such Representative’s Warrant and
of this Warrant Agreement, to purchase from the Company the number of shares
of
Common Stock stated therein, at the price of $6.25 per whole share, subject
to
the adjustments provided in Section 4 hereof and in the last sentence of this
Section 3.1. The term “Warrant Price” as used in this Warrant Agreement refers
to the price per share at which Common Stock may be purchased at the time a
Warrant is exercised. The Company in its sole discretion may lower the Warrant
Price at any time prior to the Expiration Date.
3.2 Duration
of Warrants.
A
Warrant may be exercised only during the period (“Exercise Period”) commencing
on the later of the consummation by the Company of a merger, capital stock
exchange, asset or stock acquisition or other similar business combination
(as
described more fully in the Registration Statement, “Business Combination”) or
__________, 2007 and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the earlier
to occur of (i)__________, 2010 or (ii) the date fixed for redemption of the
Warrants as provided in Section 6 of this Agreement (“Expiration Date”). Except
with respect to the right to receive the Redemption Price (as set forth in
Section 6 hereunder), each Warrant not exercised on or before the Expiration
Date shall become void, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect
thereof under this Agreement shall cease at the close of business on the
Expiration Date. The Company in its sole discretion may extend the duration
of
the Warrants by delaying the Expiration Date.
3.3 Exercise
of Warrants.
3.3.1 Payment.
Subject
to the provisions of the Warrants and this Warrant Agreement, a Warrant, when
countersigned by the Warrant Agent, may be exercised by the registered holder
thereof by surrendering it, at the office of the Warrant Agent, or at the office
of its successor as Warrant Agent, in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State
of New York, with the subscription form, as set forth in the Warrants, duly
executed, and by paying in full, in lawful money of the United States, in cash,
good certified check or good bank draft payable to the order of the Company,
the
Warrant Price for each full share of Common Stock as to which the Warrant is
exercised and any and all applicable taxes due in connection with the exercise
of the Warrant, the exchange of the Warrant for the Common Stock, and the
issuance of the Common Stock.
3.3.2 Issuance
of Certificates.
As soon
as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant and the clearance of the funds
in payment of the Warrant Price, the Company shall issue to the registered
holder of such Warrant a certificate or certificates for the number of full
shares of Common Stock to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such
name or names as may be directed by him, her or it, and if such Warrant shall
not have been exercised in full, a new countersigned Warrant for the number
of
shares as to which such Warrant shall not have been exercised. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any securities
pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant unless (i) a registration statement under
the Act with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise is
effective and a current prospectus is available, or (ii) in the opinion of
counsel to the Company the exercise of the Warrants is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Act and such securities are qualified for
sale
or exempt from qualification under applicable securities laws of the states
or
other jurisdictions in which the registered holders reside. Warrants may not
be
exercised by, or securities issued to, any registered holder in any state in
which such exercise or issuance would be unlawful. In no event will the
registered holder of a Warrant be entitled to receive a net-cash settlement,
net-share settlement or other consideration in lieu of physical settlement
in
shares of Common Stock, regardless of whether the Common Stock underlying
the Warrants is registered pursuant to an effective registration statement
or a
current prospectus is available.
3
3.3.3 Valid
Issuance.
All
shares of Common Stock issued upon the proper exercise of a Warrant in
conformity with this Agreement shall be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.
3.3.4 Date
of Issuance.
Each
person in whose name any such certificate for shares of Common Stock is issued
shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such
shares on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and payment of the
Warrant Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such
certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date
when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall
be
deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on
the
next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.
4. Adjustments.
4.1 Stock
Dividends Split Ups.
If
after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 below,
the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend
payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a split up of shares of Common Stock,
or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend,
split up or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on
exercise of each Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase
in
outstanding shares of Common Stock.
4.2 Aggregation
of Shares.
If
after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6, the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation,
combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Common Stock
or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation,
combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be
decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common
Stock.
4.3 Adjustments
in Exercise Price.
Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise
of
the Warrants is adjusted, as provided in Section 4.1 and 4.2 above, the Warrant
Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Warrant Price
immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise
of
the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator
of
which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately
thereafter.
4.4 Replacement
of Securities upon Reorganization, etc.
In case
of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock (other than a change covered by Section 4.1 or 4.2 hereof or that solely
affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any
merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other
than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing
corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or
conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property
of
the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with
which the Company is dissolved, the Warrant holders shall thereafter have the
right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions
specified in the Warrants and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the
Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise
of
the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other
securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification,
reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any
such sale or transfer, that the Warrant holder would have received if such
Warrant holder had exercised his, her or its Warrant(s) immediately prior to
such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change in shares
of
Common Stock covered by Section 4.1 or 4.2, then such adjustment shall be made
pursuant to Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and this Section 4.4. The provisions of
this
Section 4.4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications,
reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other
transfers.
4
4.5 Notices
of Changes in Warrant.
Upon
every adjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of shares issuable on
exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the
Warrant Agent, which notice shall state the Warrant Price resulting from such
adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares
purchasable at such price upon the exercise of a Warrant, setting forth in
reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such
calculation is based. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Sections
4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4, then, in any such event, the Company shall give written
notice to the Warrant holder, at the last address set forth for such holder
in
the Warrant Register, of the record date or the effective date of the event.
Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the
legality or validity of such event.
4.6 No
Fractional Shares.
Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Warrant Agreement to the
contrary, the Company shall not issue fractional shares upon exercise of
Warrants. If, by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4,
the
holder of any Warrant would be entitled, upon the exercise of such Warrant,
to
receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company shall, upon such exercise,
round up to the nearest whole number the number of the shares of Common Stock
to
be issued to the Warrant holder.
4.7 Form
of Warrant.
The
form of Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to this
Section 4, and Warrants issued after such adjustment may state the same Warrant
Price and the same number of shares as is stated in the Warrants initially
issued pursuant to this Agreement. However, the Company may at any time in
its
sole discretion make any change in the form of Warrant that the Company may
deem
appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof, and any Warrant
thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for
an
outstanding Warrant or otherwise, may be in the form as so
changed.
5
5. Transfer
and Exchange of Warrants.
5.1 Registration
of Transfer.
The
Warrant Agent shall register the transfer, from time to time, of any outstanding
Warrant upon the Warrant Register, upon surrender of such Warrant for transfer,
properly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed and accompanied by
appropriate instructions for transfer. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant
representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants shall be issued and the
old
Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. The Warrants so cancelled
shall
be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company from time to time upon
request.
5.2 Procedure
for Surrender of Warrants.
Warrants may be surrendered to the Warrant Agent, together with a written
request for exchange or transfer, and thereupon the Warrant Agent shall issue
in
exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as requested by the registered holder
of the Warrants so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of
Warrants; provided,
however,
that in
the event that a Warrant surrendered for transfer bears a restrictive legend,
the Warrant Agent shall not cancel such Warrant and issue new Warrants in
exchange therefor until the Warrant Agent has received an opinion of counsel
for
the Company stating that such transfer may be made and indicating whether the
new Warrants must also bear a restrictive legend.
5.3 Fractional
Warrants.
The
Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer
or
exchange which will result in the issuance of a warrant certificate for a
fraction of a warrant.
5.4 Service
Charges.
No
service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of
Warrants.
5.5 Warrant
Execution and Countersignature.
The
Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign and to deliver, in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, the Warrants required to be issued pursuant
to
the provisions of this Section 5, and the Company, whenever required by the
Warrant Agent, will supply the Warrant Agent with Warrants duly executed on
behalf of the Company for such purpose.
5.6 Placement
Warrants.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Warrant Agent shall not
register for transfer any Placement Warrants until after the consummation of
the
Company’s initial business combination, except for (a) transfers of
Placement Warrants resulting from the death of any of the holders thereof,
(b) transfers by operation of law, (c) any transfer for estate planning
purposes to persons immediately related to the transferor by blood, marriage
or
adoption, or (d) transfers to any trust solely for the benefit of such
transferor and/or the persons described in the preceding clause, on condition
that prior to such registration for transfer, the Warrant Agent shall be
presented with written documentation pursuant to which each permitted transferee
or the trustee or legal guardian for each permitted transferee agrees to be
bound by the terms of the Placement Agreement.
6. Redemption.
6.1 Redemption.
Subject
to Section 6.4 hereof, not less than all of the outstanding Warrants may be
redeemed, at the option of the Company, at any time after they become
exercisable and prior to their expiration, at the office of the Warrant Agent,
upon the notice referred to in Section 6.2, at the price of $.01 per Warrant
(“Redemption Price”), provided that the last sales price of the Common Stock has
been equal to or greater than $8.50 per share, on each of twenty (20) trading
days within any thirty (30) trading day period ending on the third business
day
prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Registration Statement must be current and a current prospectus
must be available for delivery to the warrant holders in order for the Company
to exercise its redemption rights pursuant to this Section 6.
6
6.2 Date
Fixed for, and Notice of, Redemption.
In the
event the Company shall elect to redeem all of the Warrants, the Company shall
fix a date for the redemption. Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first
class mail, postage prepaid, by the Company not less than 30 days prior to
the
date fixed for redemption to the registered holders of the Warrants to be
redeemed at their last addresses as they shall appear on the Warrant Register.
Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed
to have been duly given whether or not the registered holder received such
notice.
6.3 Exercise
After Notice of Redemption.
The
Warrants may be exercised in accordance with Section 3 of this Warrant Agreement
at any time after notice of redemption shall have been given by the Company
pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof and prior to the time and date fixed for
redemption. On and after the redemption date, the record holder of the Warrants
shall have no further rights except to receive, upon surrender of the Warrants,
the Redemption Price.
6.4 Outstanding
Warrants Only.
The
Company understands that the redemption rights provided for by this Section
6
apply only to outstanding Warrants. To the extent a person holds rights to
purchase Warrants, such purchase rights shall not be extinguished by redemption.
However, once such purchase rights are exercised, the Company may redeem the
Warrants issued upon such exercise provided that the criteria for redemption
are
met, including the opportunity of the Warrant holder to exercise prior to
redemption pursuant to Section 6.3.
7. Other
Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Warrants.
7.1 No
Rights as Stockholder.
A
Warrant does not entitle the registered holder thereof to any of the rights
of a
stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive
dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to vote or
to
consent or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of
stockholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other
matter.
7.2 Lost,
Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Warrants.
If any
Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Company and the Warrant
Agent may on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as they may in their
discretion impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include
the
surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination, tenor, and date
as
the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed. Any such new Warrant
shall
constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not
the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Warrant shall be at any
time
enforceable by anyone.
7
7.3 Reservation
of Common Stock.
The
Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized
but unissued shares of Common Stock that will be sufficient to permit the
exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to this Warrant
Agreement.
7.4 Registration
of Common Stock.
The
Company agrees that prior to the commencement of the Exercise Period, it will
use its best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC a post-effective amendment
to the Registration Statement, or a new registration statement, for the
registration, under the Act of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants, and it shall take such action as is necessary to qualify for sale,
in
those states in which the Warrants were initially offered by the Company, the
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. In either case, the Company
will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective on or prior
to
the commencement of the Exercise Period and to maintain the effectiveness of
such registration statement and have a current prospectus available for delivery
to the warrant holders until the earlier of the Redemption Date or the
Expiration Date in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant Agreement.
In
addition, the Company agrees to use its reasonable efforts to register such
securities under the blue sky laws of the states of residence of exercising
warrant holders, if permitted by the blue sky laws of such jurisdictions, in
the
event that an exemption is not available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
Warrant may expire worthless, unexercised and unredeemed regardless of whether
a
registration statement is current under the Act and a current prospectus is
available with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants. In no event will the registered holder of a Warrant be entitled to
receive a net-cash settlement, shares net-share settlement or other
consideration in lieu of physical settlement in shares of Common Stock,
regardless of whether the Company complies with this Section
7.4.
8. Concerning
the Warrant Agent and Other Matters.
8.1 Payment
of Taxes.
The
Company will from time to time promptly pay all taxes and charges that may
be
imposed upon the Company or the Warrant Agent in respect of the issuance or
delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants, but the
Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in respect of the
Warrants or such shares.
8.2 Resignation,
Consolidation, or Merger of Warrant Agent.
8.2.1 Appointment
of Successor Warrant Agent.
The
Warrant Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may resign its duties
and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder after giving
sixty (60) days’ notice in writing to the Company. If the office of the Warrant
Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the
Company shall appoint in writing a successor Warrant Agent in place of the
Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a
period of 30 days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation
or
incapacity by the Warrant Agent or by the holder of the Warrant (who shall,
with
such notice, submit his Warrant for inspection by the Company), then the holder
of any Warrant may apply to the Supreme Court of the State of New York for
the
County of New York for the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent at the
Company’s cost. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or
by such court, shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws
of
the State of New York, in good standing and having its principal office in
the
Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, and authorized under such
laws
to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination
by
federal or state authority. After appointment, any successor Warrant Agent
shall
be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and
obligations of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like effect as if originally
named as Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but if for
any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor Warrant Agent
shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument
transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the authority, powers, and
rights of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and upon request of any
successor Warrant Agent the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge, and
deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually
vesting in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority,
powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations.
8
8.2.2 Notice
of Successor Warrant Agent.
In the
event a successor Warrant Agent shall be appointed, the Company shall give
notice thereof to the predecessor Warrant Agent and the transfer agent for
the
Common Stock not later than the effective date of any such
appointment.
8.2.3 Merger
or Consolidation of Warrant Agent.
Any
corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may
be
consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation
to
which the Warrant Agent shall be a party shall be the successor Warrant Agent
under this Warrant Agreement without any further act.
8.3 Fees
and Expenses of Warrant Agent.
8.3.1 Remuneration.
The
Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent reasonable remuneration for its services
as such Warrant Agent hereunder as set forth on Exhibit A hereto, and will
reimburse the Warrant Agent upon demand for all expenditures that the Warrant
Agent may reasonably incur in the execution of its duties
hereunder.
8.3.2 Further
Assurances.
The
Company agrees to perform, execute, acknowledge, and deliver or cause to be
performed, executed, acknowledged, and delivered all such further and other
acts, instruments, and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Warrant
Agent for the carrying out or performing of the provisions of this Warrant
Agreement.
8.4 Liability
of Warrant Agent.
8.4.1 Reliance
on Company Statement.
Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Warrant Agreement, the
Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter
be
proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action
hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be
herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and
established by a statement signed by the Chief Executive Officer, Chairman
of
the Board or Chief Financial Officer of the Company and delivered to the Warrant
Agent. The Warrant Agent may rely upon such statement for any action taken
or
suffered in good faith by it pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant
Agreement.
8.4.2 Indemnity.
The
Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own negligence, willful
misconduct or bad faith. The Company agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent
and
save it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs
and
reasonable counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Warrant Agent
in
the execution of this Warrant Agreement except as a result of the Warrant
Agent’s negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith.
8.4.3 Exclusions.
The
Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the validity of
this
Warrant Agreement or with respect to the validity or execution of any Warrant
(except its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any
breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Warrant
Agreement or in any Warrant; nor shall it be responsible to make any adjustments
required under the provisions of Section 4 hereof or responsible for the manner,
method, or amount of any such adjustment or the ascertaining of the existence
of
facts that would require any such adjustment; nor shall it by any act hereunder
be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or
reservation of any shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Warrant
Agreement or any Warrant or as to whether any shares of Common Stock will when
issued be valid and fully paid and nonassessable.
9
8.5 Acceptance
of Agency.

Warrant Agent hereby accepts the agency established by this Warrant Agreement
and agrees to perform the same upon the terms and conditions herein set forth
and among other things, shall account promptly to the Company with respect

Company or the Warrant Agent shall bind and inure to the benefit of their
respective successors and assigns.

9.3 Applicable
law.
The
validity, interpretation, and performance of this Warrant Agreement and of
the
Warrants shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New

a
copy thereof by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage
prepaid, addressed to it at the address set forth in Section 9.2 hereof. Such
mailing shall be deemed personal service and shall be legal and binding upon
