In exchange therefor, the Company shall pay Mercato a sum of $15,000 within two business days of the Effective Date and once per month thereafter until the Termination Date. Mercato hereby agrees that it does not have any right, title, interest, cause of action or claim of any kind (a “Claim”) as a result of or arising out of this letter agreement in or to any monies set aside in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) established for the benefit of the public stockholders of the Company in connection with the consummation of the IPO and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim against the Trust Account it may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this letter agreement for any reason whatsoever.

This letter agreement may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto.

No party hereto may assign this letter agreement and any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee.
