(e)     That the Termination Letter referenced in Section 1(j) hereof shall require the Company’s Chief Executive Officer to certify to either of the following (as applicable) that (A) prior to the Termination Date, the Company has consummated a Business Combination, the terms of which are consistent with the requirements set forth in the Registration Statement and (B) the Board of Directors of the Company has approved the Business Combination.

(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 do so and the Company shall have advanced or guaranteed to it funds sufficient to pay any expenses incident thereto;

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.

7. 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.

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 4(b).

8.   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 the Representative, who, along with each other Underwriter, the parties specifically agree, are and shall be third party beneficiaries for purposes of this Agreement and shall be entitled to enforce the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if they were parties hereto; 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 8(c) with the same right and power to enforce this Section 8(c) as either of the parties hereto. For purposes of this Section 8(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.

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 conversion rights described in paragraph 3 of Article 6 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company. Pursuant to Section 4(g) 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, which accounts may include the accounts of Public Stockholders exercising their conversion rights or the accounts of Public Stockholders whose securities have been purchased by the Company.

On the Consummation Date (i) counsel for the Company shall deliver to you written notification that 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 (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 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.
