2
any other correspondence that it receives with respect to any proposed
withdrawal from the Trust Account promptly after it receives same. As used in
this Agreement, the term "BUSINESS COMBINATION" means the acquisition by the
Company, through merger, capital stock exchange, asset or stock acquisition of,

Stockholder its ratable share of the Property against satisfactory evidence of
delivery to the Company (through DTC, its Deposit Withdraw Agent Commission
(DWAC) system or as otherwise presented to the Trustee) by the Public
Stockholder of the stock certificates representing the Units it holds.
(ii) If the Trustee receives a bona fide, executed letter of
intent, agreement in principle or engagement letter (a "LETTER OF INTENT") or a
definitive agreement for a Business Combination prior to the LOI Termination
Date, accompanied by an Officer's Certificate, as described in Section 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

to be filed on behalf of the Trust Account in respect of income earned on the
Property held therein and (ii) any State of Delaware franchise tax required to
be paid by the Company, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company for submission

authorities pursuant to this Section 2(a) exceed the income in respect of which
such taxes are due and owing.
(b) Upon the written request of the Company containing a certification
by an authorized officer of the Company that such distribution pursuant to this
Section 2(b) shall only be used to fund the repayment of up to $200,000 of an
additional officer loan to be made on or prior to the closing of the Offering by
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx (such loan to be repaid within 90 days of the closing of the
Offering) the Trustee shall distribute to the Company an amount required to
repay such loan; provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate amount
of all such disbursements pursuant to this Section 2(b) exceed $200,000.
(c) Upon the written request of the Company containing a certification
by an authorized officer of the Company that such distribution pursuant to this
Section 2(c) shall only be used to fund the working capital requirements of the
Company and the costs related to identifying and researching a prospective
target business, in each case as described in the
3
Registration Statement, the Trustee shall distribute to the Company an amount
equal to up to $1,825,000 ($1,925,000 if the Underwriters' Over-allotment Option

Company's written request. It is agreed that the first $125,000 of interest
earned on the funds held in the Trust Account shall, when earned, be immediately
released to the Company to fund working capital requirements of the Company
(which amount shall be credited towards the $1,825,000 or $1,925,000 amounts
referred to in this Section 2(b)). From and after the time that such $125,000 in
Trust Account interest is earned, if the Over-allotment Option is exercised by
the Underwriters, the Company shall be prohibited from drawing any amounts from
the Trust Account as provided for hereunder until $180,000 of interest shall
have been earned thereon (or a lesser amount if less than the full
Over-allotment is exercised, pro rata based on the amount of the Over-allotment
Option exercised).
(d) Upon receipt by the Trustee of a written request from the Company
for distributions from the Trust Account in connection with a plan of
dissolution and liquidation, accompanied by an Officer's Certificate signed by
the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Management Officer of the Company
certifying as true, accurate and complete: (i) a statement of the amount of
actual expenses incurred or, where known with reasonable certainty, imminently
to be incurred by the Company in connection with its dissolution and
distribution, including any fees and expenses incurred or imminently to be
incurred by the Company in connection with seeking stockholder approval of the
Company's plan of dissolution and distribution, and (ii) any amounts due to pay
creditors or required to reserve for payment to creditors, the Trustee shall
distribute to the Company an amount equal to the income earned on the Property
through the last day of the month immediately preceding the date of receipt of
the Company's written request (subject to the amount limitations set forth in
Section 2(c) above); provided, however, that any distribution pursuant to this
Section 2(d) shall only be used to fund the amount of actual expenses incurred
or imminently to be incurred by the Company in connection with its dissolution
and liquidation, including any fees and expenses incurred or imminently to be
incurred by the Company in connection with seeking stockholder approval of the
Company's plan of dissolution and liquidation.

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

Company in writing of such claim (the "INDEMNIFIED CLAIM"). The Company shall
have the right to conduct and manage the defense against such Indemnified Claim,
provided that the Company shall obtain the consent of the Trustee with respect
to the selection of counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. The Company may not agree to settle any Indemnified Claim without the
prior written consent of the Trustee, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. The Trustee may participate in such action with its own
counsel at its own expense;

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 Delaware, without giving effect to

Maxim, who, along with each other Underwriter, the parties specifically agree,
is and shall be a third party beneficiary for purposes of this Agreement; and
provided further, any amendment to Section 1(j) shall require the consent of all
of the Public Stockholders. As to any claim, cross-claim or counterclaim in any
way relating to this Agreement, each party waives the right to trial by jury.

state or federal court located in the State and County of New York for purposes
of resolving any disputes hereunder. The parties hereto irrevocably submit to
such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be exclusive, and hereby waive any
objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and accept such venue, and waive any
objection that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.
(e) 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

In accordance with paragraph A of Article SIXTH of the Amended and Restated

approved by the stockholders of the Company and by the Public Stockholders
holding a majority of the IPO Shares, and Public Stockholders holding less than
35% of the IPO Shares have voted against the Business Combination and given
notice of exercise of their redemption rights described in paragraph A of
Article 6 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the
Company. Pursuant to Section 2(e) of the Trust Agreement, we are providing you
with an affidavit or a certificate of __________, which verifies the vote of the
Company's stockholders in connection with the Business Combination. In
accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, we hereby authorize you to
commence liquidation of the Trust Account to the effect that, on the

in writing on the Consummation Date.
On the Consummation Date (i) counsel for the Company shall deliver to you

the Trust Account pursuant to the terms hereof, 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 the
funds held in the Trust Account shall be reinvested as provided in the Trust
