WHEREAS, the Company desires to sell in a private placement to the Purchasers (the “Placement”) an aggregate of 133,333 units (the “Placement Units”) substantially identical to the Units being issued in the IPO pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof and as set forth in the Registration Statement, except that the Placement Units, Common Stock and Warrants to be issued in the Placement shall not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); and
 
WHEREAS, each Purchaser desires to acquire the number of Placement Units set forth opposite his name on Schedule A hereto; and
 
WHEREAS, the Warrants included in the Placement Units shall be governed by the Warrant Agreement filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement; and
 
WHEREAS, the Purchasers are entitled to registration rights with respect to the Common Stock and the Warrants comprising the Placement Units and the Common Stock underlying such Warrants (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”) on the terms set forth in this Agreement;
 
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:
 
1.  Purchase of Units. The Purchasers hereby agree, directly or through nominees, to purchase an aggregate of 133,333 Placement Units at a purchase price of $6.00 per Placement Unit, or an aggregate of $800,000 (the “Purchase Price”). Such purchases shall be in the names and amounts set forth on Schedule A hereto.
 
2.  Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Placement Units (the “Closing”) will take place at such time and place as the parties may agree (the “Closing Date”), but in no event later than the date on which the SEC declares the Registration Statement effective, provided the underwriting agreement is signed and executed with lead underwriter (the “Effective Date”). On the Effective Date, the Purchasers shall pay the Purchase Price by wire transfer of funds to the trust account at JPMorgan Chase NY Bank, maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”). The certificates for the Common Stock and Warrants comprising the Placement Units shall be delivered to the Purchasers promptly after the payment of the Purchase Price.
 
3.  Voting of Shares . If the Company solicits approval of its stockholders of a Business Combination, the Purchasers shall vote all of the shares of the Common Stock acquired by the Purchasers (i) pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in the IPO and (iii) in the aftermarket in accordance with the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock voted by the public stockholders and therefore waive any redemption rights they might have with respect to certain of such shares.

5.  Lock-Up Agreement. Prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, the Purchasers shall not (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file (or participate in the filing of) a registration statement with the SEC in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”) with respect to, any Placement Units and the shares and warrants comprising the Placement Units, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares, or warrants or other rights to purchase shares or any such securities, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Placement Units or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares, or warrants or other rights to purchase shares or any such securities, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of shares or such other securities, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise (collectively “Transfer”), provided, however, that the following Transfers shall be allowed, on condition that prior to such Transfer, each permitted transferee or the trustee or legal guardian for each permitted transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement: (a) transfers resulting from the death of any of the Purchasers, (b) transfers by operation of law, (c) any transfer for estate planning purposes to persons immediately related to the transferor by blood, marriage or adoption, or (d) transfers to any trust solely for the benefit of such transferor and/or the persons described in the preceding clause.
