In connection with the stockholder vote for the Company's plan of dissolution and distribution, if any, required as a result of the Company's failure to consummate a Business Combination by the Termination Date, the undersigned shall vote any shares of Common Stock then owned by the undersigned in favor of such dissolution and distribution.
(d) The undersigned and any affiliate of the undersigned will not be entitled to receive from the Company, and will not accept from the Company, any compensation (including finder's or consulting fees) for services rendered to the Company prior to or in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination (except as described in the registration statement filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the IPO (the "Registration Statement").

(b) This letter 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. The undersigned hereby (i) agrees that any action, proceeding or claim against him arising out of or relating in any way to this letter agreement (a "Proceeding") shall be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be exclusive, and (ii) waives any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.
