A copy of Section 11-51-302(6) of the CRS is attached hereto and made a part hereof; and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Trustee desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Trustee shall hold the Property.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:
1. Agreements and Covenants of Trustee. The Trustee hereby agrees and covenants to:
(a) Hold the Property in trust for the Beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation, the terms of Section 11-51-302(6) of the CRS, in a segregated trust account (“Trust Account”) established by the Trustee at a branch of XX Xxxxxx Xxxxx NY Bank selected by the Trustee;
(b) Manage, supervise and administer the Trust Account subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;
(c) In a timely manner, upon the instruction of the Company, to invest and reinvest the Property in any “Government Security.” As used herein, Government Security means any Treasury Xxxx issued by the United States, having a maturity of one hundred and 180 days or less or in any open ended investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of paragraphs (c)(2), (c)(3) and (c)(4) under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940;
(d) Collect and receive, when due, all principal and income arising from the Property, which shall become part of the “Property,” as such term is used herein;
(e) Notify the Company of all communications received by it with respect to any Property requiring action by the Company;
(f) Supply any necessary information or documents as may be requested by the Company in connection with the Company’s preparation of the tax returns for the Trust Account;
(g) Participate in any plan or proceeding for protecting or enforcing any right or interest arising from the Property if, as and when instructed by the Company and/or Chardan to do so;
(h) Render to the Company, and to such other person as the Company may instruct, monthly written statements of the activities of and amounts in the Trust Account reflecting all receipts and disbursements of the Trust Account; and
(i) As of the date of the consummation of a business combination (“Business Combination”), commence liquidation of the Trust Account upon receipt of the Officers’ Certificate signed by the Chairman or Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Operating Officer in accordance with the terms of a letter (“Termination Letter”), in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit A or Exhibit B, signed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman or Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Operating Officer, and complete the liquidation of the Trust Account and distribute the Property in the Trust Account only as directed in the Termination Letter and the other documents referred to therein. The Trustee understands and agrees that disbursements from the Trust Account shall be made only pursuant to a duly executed Termination Letter, together with the other documents referenced herein, including, without limitation, an independently certified oath and report of inspector of election in respect of the stockholder vote in favor of the Business Combination; and
(j) As of the date 18 months from the date of this Agreement (the “LOI Termination Date”) (or 24 months from the date hereof in the event the Company has executed the Letter of Intent (defined below) prior to the LOI Termination Date but failed to consummate a Business Combination (“Second Termination Date”)), commence liquidation of the Trust Account. The Trustee, upon consultation with the Company and Chardan, shall deliver a notice to Public Stockholders of record as of the LOI Termination Date or Second Termination Date, whichever the case may be, by U.S. mail or via the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), within five days of the LOI Termination Date or Second Termination Date, to notify the Public Stockholders of such event and take such other actions as it may deem necessary to inform the Beneficiaries. The Trustee shall deliver to each Public Stockholder its ratable share of the Property against satisfactory evidence of delivery of the stock certificates by the Public Stockholders to the Company through DTC, its Deposit Withdraw Agent Commission (DWAC) system or as otherwise presented to the Trustee; provided, however, that in the event that a Termination Letter has not been received by the LOI Termination Date or the Second Termination Date, whichever the case may be, the Trust Account shall be liquidated as part of the Company’s plan of dissolution and distribution approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Termination Letter to the stockholders of record on the record date; provided, further, that the record date shall be within ten
(10) days of the LOI Termination Date or the Second Termination Date, whichever the case may be, or as soon thereafter as is practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee receives a bona fide, executed letter of intent or engagement letter (the “Letter of Intent”) for a Business Combination prior to the LOI Termination Date accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate as described in paragraph 3(e) hereof, then the Trustee shall forego or suspend any liquidation of the Trust Account until the earlier of a Business Combination or the Second Termination Date.
2. Limited Distributions of Income on Property.
(a) If there is any income or other tax obligation relating to the income from the Property in the Trust Account as determined by the Company, then, from time to time, at the written instruction of the Company, the Trustee shall promptly to the extent there is not sufficient cash in the Trust Account to pay such tax obligation, liquidate such assets held in the Trust Account as shall be designated by the Company in writing, and disburse to the Company by wire transfer, out of the Property in the Trust Account, the amount indicated by the Company as owing in respect of such income tax obligation; and
(b) Upon one or more written requests from the Company, which may be given not more than once in any calendar month period, the Trustee shall distribute to the Company interest earned on the Trust Account, net of taxes payable, up to a maximum of $950,000. The distributions requested by the Company may be for any amount, provided that (i) in the aggregate, all distributions under this Section 2(b) may not exceed $950,000 and (ii) that such distributions may only be made if and to the extent that interest has been earned on the amount initially deposited into the Trust Account.
(c) Except as provided in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, no other distributions from the Trust Account shall be permitted except in accordance with Sections 1(i) and 1(j) hereof.
3. Agreements and Covenants of the Company. The Company hereby agrees and covenants to:
(a) Provide all instructions to the Trustee hereunder in writing, signed by the Company’s Chairman or Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Operating Officer. In all cases, the Company shall provide Chardan with a copy of any Termination Letters, Officers’ Certificates and/or any other correspondence that it sends the Trustee with respect to any proposed withdrawal from the Trust Account promptly after it issues same. In addition, except with respect to its duties under Sections 1(i) and (j) above, 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 believes to be given by any one of the persons authorized above to give written instructions, provided that the Company and/or Chardan shall promptly confirm such instructions in writing; and
(b) Hold the Trustee harmless and indemnify the Trustee from and against, any and all expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, or loss suffered by the Trustee 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 income earned from investment of the Property, except for expenses and losses resulting from the Trustee’s gross negligence 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 paragraph, it shall notify the Company 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 Company with respect to the selection of counsel, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company may participate in such action with its own counsel; and
(c) Pay the Trustee an initial acceptance fee, an annual fee and a transaction processing fee for each disbursement made pursuant to Sections 2(a) and 2(b) as set forth on Schedule A hereto, which fees shall be subject to modification by the parties from time to time. (It is expressly understood that the Property shall not be used to pay such fee). The Company shall pay the Trustee the initial acceptance fee and first year’s fee at the consummation of the IPO and thereafter on the anniversary of the Effective Date. The Trustee shall refund to the Company the fee (on a pro rata basis) with respect to any period after the liquidation of the Trust Fund. The Company shall not be responsible for any other fees or charges of the Trustee except as may be provided in Section 2(b) hereof (it being expressly understood that the Property shall not be used to make any payments to the Trustee under such section); and
(d) In the event that the Company consummates a Business Combination and the Trust Account is liquidated in accordance with Section 1(i) hereof, an independent party designated by Chardan shall act as the inspector of election to certify the results of the stockholder vote; and
(e) The Officers’ Certificate referenced in Sections 1(i) and (j) hereof shall require the Chairman or Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Operating Officer of the Company to each certify the following (wherever applicable): (1) prior to the LOI Termination Date, the Company has entered into a bona fide Letter of Intent with a target business; and/or (2) prior to the LOI Termination Date, the Company has entered into a definitive acquisition agreement with a target business with respect to a Business Combination, the terms of which are consistent with the requirements set forth in the Registration Statement; and/or (3) prior to the Second Termination Date, the Company has entered into a definitive acquisition agreement with a target business with respect to a Business Combination, the terms of which are consistent with the requirements set forth in the Registration Statement; and (4) resolutions duly adopted by the Board of Directors approving (where applicable): (i) the Business Combination; and/or (ii) Letter of Intent or acquisition agreement. A copy of such resolutions shall be attached as an exhibit to the Officers’ Certificate.
4. 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 its own gross negligence 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 unless and until it shall have received written instructions from the Company given as provided herein to do so and the Company shall have advanced or guaranteed to it funds sufficient to pay any expenses incident thereto;

(d) Refund any depreciation in principal of any Property;

except for its gross negligence 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 counsel chosen by the Trustee), 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 Trustee, in good faith, 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 agreement or any of the terms hereof, unless evidenced by a written instrument delivered to the 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) Verify the correctness of the information set forth in the Registration Statement or to confirm or assure that any acquisition made by the Company or any other action taken by it is as contemplated by the Registration Statement, unless an officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof, written notice of such event is sent to the Trustee or as otherwise required under Section 1(i) hereof;
(h) Prepare, execute and file tax reports, income or other tax returns and pay any taxes with respect to income and activities relating to the Trust Account, regardless of whether such tax is payable by the Trust Account or the Company (including but not limited to income tax obligations), it being expressly understood that as set forth in Section 1(i), if there is any income or other tax obligation relating to the Trust Account or the Property in the Trust Account, as determined from time to time by the Company and regardless of whether such tax is payable by the Company or the Trust, at the written instruction of the Company, the Trustee shall make funds available in cash from the Property in the Trust Account an amount specified by the Company as owing to the applicable taxing authority, which amount shall be paid directly to the Company by electronic funds transfer, account debit or other method of payment, and the Company shall forward such payment to the taxing authority; and
(i) Verify calculations, qualify or otherwise approve Company requests for distributions pursuant to Section 1(i), 2(a) or 2(b) above.
5. Certain Rights Of Trustee.
(a) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or opinion of counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or opinion of counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.
(b) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care.
(c) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement.

6. No Right of Set-Off. The Trustee waives any right of set-off or any right, title, interest or claim of any kind that the Trustee may have against the Property held in the Trust Account. In the event that the Trustee has a claim against the Company under this Agreement, including, without limitation, under paragraph 3(b), the Trustee will pursue such claim solely against the Company and not against the Property held in the Trust Account.
7. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate as follows:
(a) If the Trustee gives written notice to the Company that it desires to resign under this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to locate a successor trustee. At such time that the Company notifies the Trustee that a successor trustee has been appointed by the Company 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 does not locate a successor trustee within ninety days of receipt of the resignation notice from the Trustee, the Trustee may submit an application to have the Property deposited 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 that arises due to any actions or omissions to act by any party after such deposit; or
(b) At such time that the Trustee has completed the liquidation of the Trust Account in accordance with the provisions of Sections 1(i) and (j) hereof, and distributed the Property in accordance with the provisions of the Termination Letter, this Agreement shall terminate except with respect to Section 2(b) hereof; or

8. Miscellaneous.
(a) The Company 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 Company 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 information, or of any change in its authorized personnel. In executing funds transfers, the Trustee will rely upon account numbers or other identifying numbers of a beneficiary, beneficiary’s bank or intermediary bank. The Trustee shall not be liable for any loss, liability or expense resulting from any error in an account number or other identifying number, provided it has accurately transmitted the numbers provided.
(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 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. This Agreement or any provision hereof may only be changed, amended or modified by a writing signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that no such change, amendment or modification may be made without the prior written consent of Chardan, who,
along with the other underwriters, the parties specifically agree, are and shall be third party beneficiaries for purposes of this Agreement; and provided further, any amendment to Section 1(j) shall require the consent of all of the Public Stockholders.
