foregoing, Purchaser hereby expressly agrees that if the Company consummates the
Initial Public Offering, then (i) in connection with the stockholder vote
required to approve a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other
similar business combination with one or more businesses or assets (a "Business
Combination"), Purchaser agrees to vote the Steel Founder's Shares in accordance
with a majority of the shares of common stock voted by holders of shares of
common stock issued in the Initial Public Offering and (ii) Purchaser agrees to
waive any right to participate in any liquidation distribution to the extent set
forth in Section 2.D of this Agreement.
(iii) Steel Initial Founder's Warrants: The Steel Initial Founder's
Warrants shall have the terms set forth in the Warrant Agreement set forth as

the Steel Founder's Units, Steel Founder's Shares, Steel Initial Founder's
Warrants and the Shares underlying the Steel Initial Founder's Warrants
(collectively, the "Securities") for a period of one year from the date the

Transferee (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) who agrees in writing with the
Company to be subject to such transfer restrictions; vote the Steel Founder's
Shares as provided in (ii) above; waive any right to participate in any
liquidation distribution as provided in (ii) above and agrees to the forfeiture
of the Steel Founder's Units, Steel Founder's Shares and Steel Initial Founder's

Permitted Transferees shall retain all other rights of holders of Shares,
including, without limitation, the right to vote their Shares (except as
described above with respect to a Business Combination) and the right to receive
cash dividends, if declared. If dividends are declared and payable in Shares,
such dividends will also be subject to the restrictions contained in this

(v) Registration Rights: In connection with the closing of the
Initial Public Offering, the Company and the Purchaser shall enter into an
agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") granting the Purchaser
registration rights with respect to the Securities.

Purchaser for Steel Founder's Units.

Steel Founder's Units that Purchaser is receiving pursuant to this Agreement
shall be determined if and when the over-allotment option has been exercised or
has expired and any adjustments to be received by the Company's directors has
been made using the following formula:
S
U = -------------- x (Y - F)
T + S
U = The number of Steel Founder's Units that Purchaser shall purchase
T = Total Proceeds of the Initial Public Offering (Including the
Over-Allotment, If Exercised)
Y = The number of Founder's Units issued to the Seller by the Company
(taking into account any adjustments made as a result of the
exercise of the over-allotment option)
F = Number of Founder's Units Issued to the Company's Directors
S = Total Amount of the Co-Investment
(b) Alternate Purchaser of Steel Founder's Units. In the event that
Purchaser is unable to make the Co-Investment (as defined herein), the Seller
shall return the Steel Founder's Units purchased under this Agreement to the
Seller for the Steel Founders Units Purchase Price.
(vii) Forfeiture of Steel Founder's Units, Steel Founder's Shares
and Steel Initial Founder's Warrants: In the event that the Purchaser or the
Seller fails to purchase an aggregate of 3,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00
per Unit ($30.0 million in the aggregate) in a private placement that will occur
immediately prior to the consummation of a Business Combination (the
"Co-Investment") by the Company pursuant to the terms of a Co-Investment
Agreement to be entered into among the Company and Steel Partners II, L.P.,
Purchaser agrees to surrender and forfeit all of its Steel Founders' Units,
Steel Founder's Shares and Steel Initial Founder's Warrants to the Company.
Section 2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASER.
As a material inducement to the Company and the Seller to enter into this
Agreement and for the Seller to sell the Steel Founder's Units, Purchaser hereby
represents and warrants to the Seller and the Company that:
A. Capacity and State Law Compliance. Such Purchaser has engaged in the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement within a state in which the offer
and sale of the Steel Founder's Units is permitted under applicable securities
laws.
B. Authorization. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
C. Investment Representations.
(i) Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for its own account,
for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection
with, any public sale or distribution thereof.
(ii) Such Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as such term is
defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D.
(iii) Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are being
offered and will be sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the
registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws
and that the Seller and the Company are relying upon the truth and accuracy of,
and such Purchaser's compliance with, the representations and warranties of such
Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such
exemptions and the eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire such Securities.
(iv) Such Purchaser did not decide to enter into this Agreement as a
result of any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of
Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
(v) Such Purchaser has been furnished with all materials relating to
the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to
the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by such
Purchaser. Such Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of
the executive officers and directors of the Company. Such Purchaser understands
that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. Such
Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as such Purchaser has
considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to
such Purchaser's acquisition of the Securities.
(vi) Such Purchaser understands that no United States federal or
state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or
made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or
suitability of the investment in the Securities by such Purchaser nor have such
authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the
Securities.
(vii) Such Purchaser understands that: (a) the Securities have not
been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred
unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder or (B) sold in reliance on an
exemption therefrom; and (b) except as specifically set forth in the
Registration Rights Agreement, neither the Company nor any other person is under
any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption
thereunder. In this regard, such Purchaser understands that the Securities and
Exchange Commission has taken the position that promoters or affiliates of a
blank check company and their transferees, both before and after a Business
Combination, are deemed to be "underwriters" under the Securities Act when
reselling the securities of a blank check company. Based on that position, Rule
144 adopted pursuant to the Securities Act would not be available for resale
transactions of the Securities despite technical compliance with the
requirements of such Rule, and the Securities can be resold only through a
registered offering or in reliance upon another exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic
risk of its investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time.
(viii) Such Purchaser has such knowledge and expertise in financial
and business matters, knows of the high degree of risk associated with
investments generally and particularly investments in the securities of
companies in the development stage such as the Company, is capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and is able to bear the
economic risk of an investment in the Securities in the amount contemplated
hereunder. Such Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current
financial needs and contingencies and will have no current or anticipated future
needs for liquidity which would be jeopardized by the investment in the
Securities. Such Purchaser can afford a complete loss of its investment in the
Securities.
D. Waiver of Right to Amounts in the Trust Account and Indemnification.
(i) Such Purchaser hereby waives any and all right, title, interest
or claim of any kind in or to any distribution of the trust account established
by the Company for the deposit of proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and
the sale of the Additional Founder's Warrants (as defined in the Securities
Purchase Agreement), as a result of any liquidation of the trust account, with
respect to the Steel Founder's Shares ("Claim") and hereby waives any Claim it
may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any contracts or
agreements with the Company and will not seek recourse against the trust account
for any reason whatsoever except for any amounts to which it may be entitled
upon liquidation of the Company in respect of such Purchaser's ownership of
Shares other than the Steel Founder's Shares.
(ii) Such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the stockholders of
the Company, including those who purchase the units in the Initial Public
Offering, are and shall be third-party beneficiaries of the foregoing provisions
of Section 2.D. of this Agreement.
(iii) Such Purchaser agrees that to the extent any waiver of rights
under this Section 2.D. is ineffective as a matter of law, such Purchaser has
offered such waiver for the benefit of the Seller and the Company as an
equitable right that shall survive any statutory disqualification or bar that
applies to a legal right. Such Purchaser acknowledges the receipt and
sufficiency of consideration received from the Seller and the Company hereunder
in this regard.
Section 3. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
All of the representations and warranties contained herein shall survive
the purchase of the Securities hereunder.
Section 4. DEFINITIONS.
Terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the
meaning assigned such terms in the Registration Statement.
Section 5. MISCELLANEOUS.
A. Legends.
(i) The certificates evidencing the Steel Founder's Units and the
Steel Founder's Shares will include the legend set forth on EXHIBITS A AND B
hereto, respectively, which Purchaser has read and understands. The Steel
Initial Founder's Warrants and Shares issued upon exercise of the Steel Initial
Founder's Warrants (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) will include the legend
set forth in EXHIBIT B to the Warrant Agreement in the case of the Warrants and
in the Warrant Agreement in the case of the Shares, which Purchaser has read and
understands.
(ii) By accepting the Securities, Purchaser agrees, prior to any
transfer of the Securities, to give written notice to the Company expressing its
desire to effect such transfer and describing briefly the proposed transfer.
Upon receiving such notice, the Company shall present copies thereof to its
counsel and Purchaser agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion
of the Securities unless and until:
(a) there is then in effect a registration statement under the
Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made
in accordance with such registration statement, in which case the legends set
forth above with respect to the Securities sold pursuant to such registration
statement shall be removed; or
(b) if reasonably requested by the Company, (A) Purchaser shall have
furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, that such disposition will not require registration of such Securities
under the Securities Act, (B) the Company shall have received customary
representations and warranties regarding the transferee that are reasonably
satisfactory to the Company signed by the proposed transferee and (C) the
Company shall have received an agreement by such transferee to the restrictions
contained in the legends referred to in (i) hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser also understands and acknowledges
that the transfer of the Steel Founder's Units, Steel Founder's Shares and the
Steel Initial Founder's Warrants and exercise of the Steel Initial Founder's
Warrants are subject to the specific conditions to such transfer or exercise as
outlined herein and the Warrant Agreement as to which Purchaser specifically
assents by its execution hereof.
(iii) The Company may, from time to time, make stop transfer
notations in its records and deliver stop transfer instructions to its transfer
agent to the extent its counsel considers it necessary to ensure compliance with
federal and state securities laws and the transfer restrictions contained
elsewhere in this Agreement and the Warrant Agreement.
B. Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
all covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any
of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective
successors of the parties hereto whether so expressed or not. Notwithstanding
the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the parties may not assign
this Agreement.
C. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall
be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid
under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of
such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this
Agreement.
D. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or
more counterparts, none of which need contain the signatures of more than one
party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the
same agreement.
E. Descriptive Headings; Interpretation. The descriptive headings of this
Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a substantive
part of this Agreement. The use of the word "including" in this Agreement shall
be by way of example rather than by limitation.
F. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract made
under the laws of the State of New York and for all purposes shall be construed
in accordance with the internal laws of said State. The parties agree that, all
actions and proceedings arising out of this Agreement or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby, shall be brought in the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York or in a New York State Court in the County of
New York and that, in connection with any such action or proceeding, submit to
the jurisdiction of, and venue in, such court. Each of the parties hereto also
irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or
counterclaim arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby.
