liquidate such assets held in the Trust Account as shall be designated by the
Company in writing; and
(j) Commence

and
only in accordance with, the terms of a letter (“Termination Letter”), in a form
substantially similar to that attached hereto as either Exhibit

signed on behalf of the Company by its President or Chairman of the Board and
Secretary or Assistant Secretary, and complete the liquidation of the Trust

the
Termination Letter and the other documents referred to therein; provided,
however, that in the event that a Termination Letter has not been received
by
the Trustee by the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the

The provisions of this Section 1(j) may not be modified, amended or deleted
under any circumstances.
2.
Limited
Distributions of Income on Property.
(a)
If there is any income tax obligation relating to the income from

and acquiring a prospective target business, including, without limitation,
the
expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s dissolution, the Trustee
shall distribute to the Company an amount up to $1,200,000 of the interest
earned and collected on the Property in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable,

of
the Company’s written request.
(c) Upon
receipt of the Termination Letter, the Trustee shall liquidate the Trust Account
in accordance with Section 1(j).
(d) Except
as
provided in this Section 2, no other distributions from the Trust Account shall
be permitted.
3.
Agreements
and Covenants of the Company.
The
Company hereby agrees and covenants:
(a)
To provide all instructions to the Trustee hereunder in writing,
signed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. In
addition, except with respect to its duties under paragraphs 1(i) and 1(j),
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 Pali shall promptly confirm such instructions
in writing;
(b) To

Subject to the provisions of Section 5 hereof, to hold the Trustee
harmless and indemnify the Trustee from and against any and all expenses,

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 Trustee may not agree to settle any Indemnified Claim without the prior
written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The Company may participate in such action with its own counsel
at its own expense;
(d)
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 fees and further agreed that said
transaction processing fees shall be deducted by the Trustee from the
disbursements made to the Company pursuant to Section 2(b). 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 annual fee (on a pro rata basis)
with respect to any period after the liquidation of the Trust Account. The
Company shall not be responsible for any other fees or charges of the Trustee
except as set forth in this Section 3(c) and as may be provided in Section
3(b)
hereof (it being expressly understood that the Property shall not be used to
make any payments to the Trustee under such Sections);
(e)
That, in the event the Company consummates a Business Combination
and the Trust Account is liquidated in accordance with Section 1(j) hereof,
an
independent party designated by Pali shall act as the inspector of election
to
certify the results of the stockholder vote. 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, or similar business
combination with, one or more operating businesses, as more fully described
in
the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement;
(f)
That the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer shall each certify the following (wherever applicable): (1) prior to
the
Last Date, the Company has entered into a Business Combination with a target
business, the terms of which are consistent with the requirements set forth
in
the Registration Statement; and (2) the Board of Directors (the “Board”)
pursuant to the unanimous written consent of the Board has approved the Business
Combination. A copy of such consent and the definitive agreement relating to
the
Business Combination so approved shall be attached as an exhibit to the
Officer’s Certificate;
(h)
Within five business days after the Underwriters’ over-allotment option (or any
unexercised portion thereof) expires or is exercised in full, to provide the
Trustee notice in writing (with a copy to the Underwriters) of the total amount
of the Deferred Discount, which shall in no event be less than $1,440,000;
and
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 Sections 1 and 2 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

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

(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,
written notice of such event is sent to the Trustee or as otherwise required
under Section 1(j) hereof;
(h)
Prepare, execute and file tax reports, income or other tax returns,
pay any taxes on behalf of the Trust Account 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 the Trustee’s sole
obligation with respect to taxes shall be to issue the checks with respect
thereto provided for by Section 2(a) hereof. 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.
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 the Trustee has a claim against the Company under this
Agreement, including, without limitation, under Section 3(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 during which time the Trustee shall continue to
act
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. At such time 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 the Company does not locate
a
successor trustee within ninety days of receipt of the resignation notice from
the Trustee, the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, 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 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
3(b).
7.
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, 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
conflict of laws 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. Facsimile signatures shall constitute original
signatures for all purposes of this Agreement.
(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
Pali,
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
vote or consent of holders of 95% of the shares of Common Stock sold in the
IPO
(the “Public Stockholders”), it being the specific intention of the parties
hereto that each Public Stockholder is and shall be a third-party beneficiary
of
this Section 6(c) with the same right and power to enforce this Section 6(c)
as
either of the parties hereto. For purposes of this Section 6(c), the “consent of
95% of the Public Stockholders” 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) 95% of the Public Stockholders of
record as of the record date established in accordance with Section 213(a)
of
the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the “DGCL”), have voted in
favor of such amendment or modification or (b) 95% of the Public Stockholders
of
record as of the record date established in accordance with Section 213(b)
of
the DGCL has delivered to such entity a signed writing approving such amendment
or modification. As to any claim, cross-claim or counterclaim in any way
relating to this Agreement, each party waives the right to trial by jury.
(d)
The parties hereto consent to the jurisdiction and venue of any
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
sent by express mail or similar private courier service, by certified mail
(return receipt requested), by hand delivery or by facsimile

the full right and power and has been duly authorized to enter into this
Agreement and to perform its respective obligations as contemplated hereunder.
The Trustee acknowledges and agrees that it shall not make any claims or proceed
against the Trust Account, including by way of set-off, and shall not be
entitled to any funds in the Trust Account under any circumstance. The Trustee
hereby consents to the inclusion of Continental Stock Transfer & Trust
Company in the Registration Statement and other materials relating to the

Pursuant

__________________ (“Target Business”) to consummate a business combination with

shall notify you at least 48 hours in advance of the actual date of the
consummation of the Business Combination (“Consummation Date”). Capitalized
words used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed
to
them in the Trust Agreement.
In
accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 6 of the Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation of the Company, the Business Combination has been approved
by
the stockholders of the Company and by the Public Stockholders holding a
majority of the IPO Shares cast at the meeting relating to the Business
Combination, and Public Stockholders holding less than 30% of the IPO Shares
have voted against the Business Combination and given notice of exercise of
their redemption rights described in paragraph 3 of Article 6 of the Amended
and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company. Pursuant to Section 3(f)
of the Trust Agreement, we are providing you with [an affidavit] [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 Consummation Date, all of funds held in
the
Trust Account will be immediately available for transfer to the account or
accounts that the Company shall direct in writing on the Consummation
Date.
On
the
Consummation Date (i) counsel for the Company shall deliver to you written
notification that (a) the Business Combination has been consummated or will,
concurrently with your transfer of funds to the accounts as directed by the
Company, be consummated, and (b) the provisions of Section 11-51-302(6) and
Rule
51-3.4 of the CRS have been met, to the extent applicable, and (ii) the Company
shall deliver to you written instructions with respect to the transfer of the
funds held in the Trust Account (“Instruction Letter”). You are hereby directed
and authorized to transfer the funds held in the Trust Account immediately
upon
your receipt of the counsel’s letter and the Instruction Letter in
accordance with the terms of the Instruction Letter. In the event that certain
deposits held in the Trust Account may not be liquidated by the Consummation
Date without penalty, you will notify the Company of the same and the Company
shall direct you as to whether such funds should remain in the Trust Account
and
be distributed after the Consummation Date to the Company or be distributed
immediately and the penalty incurred. Upon the distribution of all the funds
in
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 upon receipt by
the
Trustee of written instructions, the funds held in the Trust Account shall
be
reinvested as provided in the Trust Agreement on the business day immediately
following the Consummation Date as set forth in the notice.
