("Company"), in consideration of Chardan Capital Markets ("Chardan") entering into a letter of intent ("Letter of Intent") to underwrite an initial public offering of the securities of the Company ("IPO") and embarking on the IPO process, hereby agrees as follows (certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 10 hereof): 1. If the Company solicits approval of its stockholders of a Business Combination, IACP II will vote all Insider Shares owned by it and all shares of Common Stock of the Company acquired by it in the IPO or aftermarket in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the holders of the IPO Shares. 2. In the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 18 months from the effective date ("Effective Date") of the registration statement relating to the IPO or 24 months under the circumstances described in the prospectus relating to the IPO (such later date being referred to herein as the "Termination Date"), IACP II shall (i) take all such action reasonably within its power as is necessary to (a) dissolve the Company and liquidate the Trust Fund to holders of IPO Shares as soon as reasonably practicable, and after approval of the Company's stockholders and subject to the requirements of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "GCL"), including voting for the adoption of a resolution by the board of directors, prior to such Termination Date, pursuant to Section 275(a) of the GCL, which shall deem the dissolution of the Company advisable and (b) cause to be prepared such notices as are required by said Section 275(a) of the GCL as promptly thereafter as possible, and (ii) vote its shares in favor of any plan of dissolution and distribution recommended by the Company's board of directors. If the Company does not consummate a Business Combination by the Termination Date, the IACP II hereby agrees, with respect to any  plan of dissolution and distribution, to take all such action reasonably within its power to (x) cause the board of directors to convene, adopt a plan of dissolution and distribution, which IACP II will vote to recommend to stockholders, and (y) on such date cause the Company to prepare and file a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") setting out the plan of dissolution and distribution. If the Company seeks approval from its stockholders to consummate a Business Combination within 90 days of the expiration of 24 months from the Effective Date, IACP II agrees to take all such action reasonably within its power to ensure that the proxy statement related to such Business Combination will also seek stockholder approval for the plan of dissolution and distribution in the event the stockholders do not approve the Business Combination. If no proxy statement seeking the approval of the stockholders for a Business Combination has been filed within 30 days prior to the date which is 24 months from the date of the IPO, IACP II agrees, prior to such date to take all such action reasonably within its power as is necessary to convene and adopt a plan of dissolution and distribution and on such date file a proxy statement with the SEC seeking stockholder approval for such plan. IACP II hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distribution of the Trust Fund (as defined in the Letter of Intent) and any remaining net assets of the Company as a result of such liquidation with respect to its Insider Shares ("Claim") and hereby waives any Claim IACP II 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 Fund for any reason whatsoever. 3. IACP II acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not consummate any Business Combination which involves a company which is affiliated with any of the Insiders. 4. Neither IACP II, any Control Person, nor any affiliate ("Affiliate") of IACP II or any Control Person will be entitled to receive and will not accept any compensation for services rendered to the Company prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.
