to the applicable taxing authority may be provided to the Company for inclusion
with its tax returns) by electronic funds transfer, account debit or other
method of payment; provided,
however, (i) such distributions may only be made if and to the extent

Account sufficient to pay for such tax obligation (it being expressly understood
that the principal of the Property shall not be used to pay any such tax
obligation) and (ii) that if a taxing authority will not accept payment in such
manner, then any payment which would have been made directly to the taxing

option is exercised in full), as specified by the Company in its written request
to the Trustee, net of taxes payable. The distributions requested by the Company
may be for any amount, provided 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 in the amount requested by the Company; and

the Trustee harmless and indemnify the Trustee from and against any and all
expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, or loss suffered

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 Trustee may not agree to settle any Indemnified Claim
without the prior written consent of the Company. The Company may
participate in such action with its own counsel;

fee). The Company shall pay the Trustee the initial acceptance fee

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
for accountable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by the Trustee acting
as Trustee of the Property in accordance with this Agreement;

amount of the Deferred Compensation, which shall in no event be less than
$1,008,000; and
(e) In
connection with any vote of the Company’s shareholders regarding a Business
Combination, provide to the Trustee an affidavit or certificate of a firm
regularly engaged in the business of soliciting proxies and tabulating
shareholder votes verifying the vote of the Company’s shareholders and the
Company’s Public Shareholders regarding such Business Combination.
3. Limitations of
Liability. The Trustee shall have no responsibility or
liability to:

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

thereto;
(c) Change
the investment of any Property, other than in compliance with Section
1(c);
(d) Refund

delivered a written revocation of such authority to the Trustee;
(f) 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
exercise of its own best judgment, 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, or written notice of such event is
sent to the Trustee or as otherwise required under Section 1(j) hereof;
and
4
(h) Pay
any taxes on behalf of the Trust Account (it being expressly understood that, as
set forth in Section 1(i), if there is any income tax obligation relating to the
income of the Property in the Trust Account, then, at the written instruction of
the Company, the Trustee shall make available by check or in cash for transfer
by account debit or wire transfer directly to the taxing authorities designated
by the Company, the amount indicated by the Company as owing to each such taxing
authority).
4. Certain Rights Of
Trustee.
(a) Before
the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s
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 Officer’s
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.
(d) The
Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the
validity or adequacy of this Agreement; it shall not be accountable for the
Company’s use of the proceeds from the Trust Account. Notwithstanding the
effective date of this Agreement or anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, the Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for any act or
event relating to this Agreement or the transactions related thereto which occur
prior to the date of this Agreement, and shall have no contractual obligations
to the Beneficiaries until the date of this Agreement.
5. 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 Section 2(b), the Trustee will pursue such claim solely
against the Company and not against the Property held in the Trust
Account.
6. 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
5
(b) At
such time that the Trustee has completed the liquidation of the Trust Account in
accordance with the provisions of Section 1(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).
7. Miscellaneous.
(a) 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, rather than
names. 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 (other than to correct a typographical or
similar technical error) may be made to Sections 1(i), 1(j), 1(k) and 1(l)
hereof without the consent of the holders of 80% of the IPO Shares, it being the
specific intention of the parties hereto that each Public Shareholder is and
shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Section 7(c) with the same right and
power to enforce this Section 7(c) as either of the parties
hereto. For purposes of this Section 7(c), the “consent of the
holders of 80% of the IPO Shares” shall mean receipt by the Trustee of a
certificate from an entity certifying that (i) such entity regularly engages in
the business of serving as inspector of elections for companies whose securities
are publicly traded, and (ii) either (a) the holders of record of 80% of the IPO
Shares of record as of a record date established in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the Companies Law (2009 Revision) of the Cayman Islands
(the “Companies Law”), have voted in favor of such amendment or modification or
(b) the holders of record of 80% of the IPO Shares of record as of a record date
established in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Companies Law
have delivered to such entity a signed writing approving such amendment or
modification.
(d) As
to any claim, cross-claim or counterclaim in any way relating to this Agreement,
each party waives the right to trial by jury.
(e) The
parties hereto consent to the jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal
court located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for purposes of
resolving any disputes hereunder.
(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:
