writing to make such distribution; provided further that if the tax to be paid is a
franchise tax, the written request by the Subsidiary to make such distribution shall be accompanied
by a copy of the franchise tax xxxx from the State of Delaware for the Company or the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts for the Subsidiary and a written statement from the principal financial officer of

entitled to said funds, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to look beyond said
request;
(k) Upon written request from the Subsidiary given after distribution of the Property to the
Public Stockholders, which may be given from time to time in a form substantially similar to
that attached hereto as Exhibit D (a “Tax Refund Instruction”), distribute to the

in full (or, if the over-allotment option is not exercised in full, but is exercised in part, the
amount in interest income (net of franchise and income taxes payable) to be released shall be
increased proportionally in relation to the proportion of the over-allotment option which was
exercised);
(m) Upon written request from the Subsidiary, which may be given from time to time in a form
substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit F (a “Permitted Purchase of Shares
Withdrawal Instruction”), the Trustee shall distribute to the Company the amount
3
requested by the Subsidiary to be used to purchase up to 2,250,000 shares of the Common Stock,
in the event the underwriters’ over-allotment option in the Offering is not exercised in full or up
to 2,587,500 shares of the Common Stock in the event the underwriters’ over-allotment option in the
Offering is exercised in full, not to exceed the per share amount then held in the Trust Account
(or, if the over-allotment option is not exercised in full, but is exercised in part, the number of
shares that may be purchased shall be increased proportionally in relation to the proportion of the
over-allotment option which was exercised) (such purchase hereinafter referred to as the “Permitted
Purchases”); provided, however, that to the extent there is not sufficient cash in
the Trust Account to make such distribution the Trustee shall liquidate such assets held in the
Trust Account, as shall be designated by the Subsidiary in writing to make such distribution; and

Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer. In addition,
except with respect to its duties under Sections 1(i) through 1(m) hereof, the
Trustee shall be entitled to rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, any verbal or
telephonic advice or instruction which it, in good faith and with reasonable care, believes to be

from and against any and all expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, or
losses suffered by the Trustee in connection with any action taken by it hereunder and in
connection with any action, suit or other proceeding brought against the Trustee involving any
claim, or in connection with any claim or demand, which in any way arises out of or relates to this
Agreement, the services of the Trustee hereunder, or the Property or any interest earned on the
Property, except for expenses and losses resulting from the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or
willful misconduct. Promptly after the receipt by the Trustee of notice of demand or claim or the
commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, pursuant to which the Trustee intends to seek
indemnification under this Section 2(b), it shall notify the Company and the Subsidiary in
writing of such claim (hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnified Claim”). The Trustee shall have
the right to conduct and manage the defense against such Indemnified Claim; provided that
the Trustee shall obtain the consent of the Subsidiary with respect to the selection of counsel,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Trustee may not agree to settle any
Indemnified Claim without the prior written consent of the Subsidiary, which such consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld. The Subsidiary may participate in such action with its own counsel;

the Trustee as paying agent (“Paying Agent”) pursuant to Section 1(k) hereof, which fees
shall be subject to
4
modification by the parties from time to time. It is expressly understood that the Property
shall not be used to pay such fees unless and until it is distributed to the Company or the
Subsidiary pursuant to Sections 1(j) through 1(m) hereof. The Subsidiary shall pay
the Trustee the initial acceptance fee and the first annual fee at the consummation of the Offering
and thereafter on the anniversary of the Effective Date. The Trustee shall refund to the Subsidiary
the annual fee (on a pro rata basis) with respect to any period after the liquidation of the Trust
Account. Neither the Company nor the Subsidiary shall be responsible for any other fees or charges
of the Trustee except as set forth in this Section 2(c) and as may be provided in
Section 2(b) hereof;
(d) In connection with any vote of the Public Stockholders regarding a merger, capital stock
exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination

an affidavit or certificate of the inspector of elections for the stockholder meeting verifying the
vote of the Public Stockholders regarding such Business Combination;
(e) Provide Citigroup Global Markets Inc. with a copy of any Termination Letter(s) and/or any
other correspondence that is sent to the Trustee with respect to any proposed withdrawal from the

income tax obligation, and promptly after the amount of such refund is determined on a final basis,
provide the Trustee with notice in writing (with a copy to Citigroup Global Markets Inc.) of the
amount of such income tax refund; and
(g) Instruct the Trustee to make only those distributions that are permitted under this
Agreement, and refrain from instructing the Trustee to make any distributions that are not
permitted under this Agreement.
3. Limitations of Liability. The Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability
to:
(a) Take any action with respect to the Property, other than as directed in Section
1 hereof, and the Trustee shall have no liability to any party except for liability arising out
of the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct;
(b) Institute any proceeding for the collection of any principal and income arising from,
or institute, appear in or defend any proceeding of any kind with respect to, any of the Property

to do so and the Subsidiary shall have advanced or guaranteed to it funds sufficient to pay any
expenses incident thereto;
(c) Refund any depreciation in principal of any Property;
(d) Assume that the authority of any person designated by the Subsidiary to give instructions
hereunder shall not be continuing unless provided otherwise in such designation, or unless the
Subsidiary shall have delivered a written revocation of such authority to the Trustee;
(e) The other parties hereto or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted by it, or any
action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith and in the Trustee’s best judgment,
except for the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. The Trustee may rely
conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion
or advice of counsel (including
5
counsel chosen by the Trustee, which counsel may be Subsidiary’s counsel), 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 the Trustee believes, in good faith and with reasonable care, to be
genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Trustee shall not be
bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this

Trustee, signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Trustee are
affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto;

(g) Provide any assurance that any Business Combination entered into by the Company or any
other action taken by the Company is as contemplated by the Registration Statement;

to, income tax obligations, except pursuant to Section 1(j) hereof; or
(j) Verify calculations, qualify or otherwise approve the Subsidiary’s written requests for
distributions pursuant to Sections 1(j) through 1(m) hereof.
4. Trust Account Waiver. The Trustee has no right of set-off or any right, title,
interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”) to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account, and hereby
irrevocably waives any Claim to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account that it may have in the
future. In the event the Trustee has any Claim against the Company or the Subsidiary under this
Agreement, including, without limitation, under Section 2(b) hereof, the Trustee shall
pursue such Claim solely against the Company or the Subsidiary and not against the Property or any
monies in the Trust Account.
5. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate as follows:
(a) If the Trustee gives written notice to the Company and the Subsidiary that it desires to
resign under this Agreement, the Company and the Subsidiary shall use their reasonable efforts to
locate a successor trustee, pending which the Trustee shall continue to act in accordance with
this Agreement. At such time that the Company and the Subsidiary notifies the Trustee that a
successor trustee has been appointed and has agreed to become subject to the terms of this
Agreement, the Trustee shall transfer the management of the Trust Account to the successor trustee,
including but not limited to the transfer of copies of the reports and statements relating to the
Trust Account, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate; provided, however, that in
the event that the Company and the Subsidiary do not locate a successor trustee within ninety (90)
days of receipt of the resignation notice from the Trustee, the Trustee may submit an application
to have the Property deposited with any court in the State of New York or with the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York and upon such deposit, the Trustee shall be
immune from any liability whatsoever; or
6
(b) At such time that the Trustee has completed the liquidation of the Trust Account and its
obligations in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(i) hereof (which section may not
be amended under any circumstances) and distributed the Property in accordance with the provisions
of the Termination Letter, thereafter this Agreement shall terminate except with respect to
Section 2(b).
6. Miscellaneous.
(a) The Subsidiary and the Trustee each acknowledge that the Trustee will follow the security
procedures set forth below with respect to funds transferred from the Trust Account. The Subsidiary
and the Trustee will each restrict access to confidential information relating to such security
procedures to authorized persons. Each party must notify the other party immediately if it has
reason to believe unauthorized persons may have obtained access to such confidential information,
or of any change in its authorized personnel. In executing funds transfers, the Trustee shall rely
upon all information supplied to it by the Subsidiary, including, account names, account numbers,
and all other identifying information relating to a Beneficiary, Beneficiary’s bank or intermediary
bank. Except for any liability arising out of the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful
misconduct, the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss, liability or expense resulting from any
error in the information or transmission of the funds.
(b) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in
the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. It may be executed in several
original or facsimile counterparts, each one of which shall constitute an original, and together
shall constitute but one instrument.
(c) This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof. Except for Section 1(i) hereof (which section may not
be amended under any circumstances), this Agreement or any provision hereof may only be changed,
amended or modified (other than to correct a typographical error) by a writing signed by each of
the parties hereto.
(d) This Agreement or any provision hereof may only be changed, amended or modified pursuant
to Section 6(c) hereof with the Consent of the Public Stockholders; provided,
however, that no such change, amendment or modification may be made to Section 1(i)
hereof (which section may not be amended under any circumstances), it being the specific intention
of the parties hereto that each Public Stockholder is, and shall be, a third party beneficiary of
this Section 6(d) with the same right and power to enforce this Section 6(d) as the
other parties hereto. For purposes of this Section 6(d), the “Consent of the
Public Stockholders” means receipt by the Trustee of a certificate from the inspector of elections
of the stockholder meeting certifying that either (i) the Public Stockholders of record as of a
record date established in accordance with Section 213(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
as amended (“DGCL”) who hold sixty-five percent (65%) or more of all then outstanding
shares of the Common Stock, have voted in favor of such change, amendment or modification, or (ii)
the Public Stockholders of record as of the record date who hold sixty-five percent (65%) or more
of all then outstanding shares of the Common Stock, have delivered to such entity a signed writing
approving such change, amendment or modification. Except for any liability arising out of the
7
Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, the Trustee may rely conclusively on
the certification from the inspector or elections referenced above and shall be relieved of all
liability to any party for executing the proposes amendment in reliance thereon.
(e) The parties hereto consent to the jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court
located in the City of New York, State of New York, for purposes of resolving any disputes
hereunder. AS TO ANY CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT,
EACH PARTY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
(f) Any notice, consent or request to be given in connection with any of the terms or
provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by express mail or similar
private courier service, by certified mail (return receipt requested), by hand delivery or by
facsimile transmission:

forty-eight (48) hours in advance of the actual date of the consummation of the Business
Combination (“Consummation Date”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meanings set forth in the Trust Agreement.
In accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, we hereby authorize you to commence to
liquidate all of the assets of the Trust Account on [insert date], and to transfer the proceeds
into the trust checking account at XX Xxxxxx Xxxxx, N.A. to the effect that, on the Consummation

account or accounts that the Subsidiary shall direct on the Consummation Date. It is acknowledged
and agreed that while the funds are on deposit in the trust checking account at XX Xxxxxx Chase,
N.A. awaiting distribution, the Subsidiary will not earn any interest or dividends.
On the Consummation Date (i) counsel for the Subsidiary shall deliver to you written
notification that the Business Combination is in the process of being consummated (the
“Notification”) and (ii) the Subsidiary shall deliver to you a written instruction signed by the
Subsidiary and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. with respect to the transfer of the funds held in the
Trust Account, (“Instruction Letter”). You are hereby directed and authorized to transfer the funds
held in the Trust Account immediately upon your receipt of the Notification and the Instruction
Letter, in accordance with the terms of the Instruction Letter. In the event that certain deposits
held in the Trust Account may not be liquidated by the Consummation Date without penalty, you will
notify the Subsidiary in writing of the same and the Subsidiary shall direct you as to whether such
funds should remain in the Trust Account and be distributed after the Consummation Date to the
Company. Upon the distribution of all the funds, net of any payments necessary for reasonable
unreimbursed expenses related to liquidating the Trust Account, your obligations under the Trust
Agreement shall be terminated.
In the event that the Business Combination is not consummated on the Consummation Date
described in the notice thereof and we have not notified you on or before the original Consummation
Date of a new Consummation Date, then upon receipt by the Trustee of written instructions from the
Company, the funds held in the Trust Account shall be reinvested as provided in Section 1(c) of the
