The number of Director Founder's Units or Director Additional Founder's Warrants to be purchased assumes that the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering are $300,000,000 (prior to the exercise of the over-allotment option).

If the gross proceeds that the Company receives from the Initial Public Offering is greater than $300,000,000 (prior to the exercise of the over-allotment option), the Company, through the Seller and the Seller's Option, may dividend additional Director Founder's Units to each Director and increase the number of Director Additional Founder's Warrants to be sold to each Purchaser. The Seller shall cause the Company to deliver certificates evidencing the Director Founder's Units, Director Founder's Shares, Director Initial Founder's Warrants and Director Additional Founder's Warrants to be purchased by each Purchaser hereunder, in each case registered in the Purchaser's name, upon the payment by the Purchaser of the Director Founder's Units Purchase Price and Director Additional Founder's Warrants Purchase Price by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds to Steel Partners, Ltd. for the benefit of Seller. With respect to the payment of the Director Additional Founder's Warrants Purchase Price, each Purchaser agrees to deliver payment of the purchase price to the Seller upon five (5) days notice of the Seller. Each Purchaser agrees that in the event such Purchaser fails to purchase the number of Director Additional Founder's Warrants set forth on Schedule A hereto, such Purchaser shall forfeit to Seller the number of Director Founder's Units set forth on Schedule A hereto. C. Terms of the Director Founder's Units, Director Founder's Shares, Director Initial Founder's Warrants and Director Additional Founder's Warrants.

Without limiting the foregoing, each Purchaser hereby expressly agrees that if the Company consummates the Initial Public Offering, then (i) in connection with the stockholder vote required to approve a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or assets (a "Business Combination"), each Purchaser agrees to vote the Director Founder's Shares in accordance with a majority of the shares of common stock voted by holders of shares of common stock issued in the Initial Public Offering and (ii) each Purchaser agrees to waive any right to participate in any liquidation distribution to the extent set forth in Section 2.D of this Agreement. 2 (iii) Director Initial Founder's Warrants: The Director Initial Founder's Warrants shall have the terms set forth in the Warrant Agreement set forth as EXHIBIT C hereto. (iv) Director Additional Founder's Warrants: The Director Additional Founder's Warrants shall have the terms set forth in the Warrant Agreement as set forth as EXHIBIT C hereto including, but not limited to the provision that if the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, then the Director Additional Founder's Warrants Purchase Price will be part of the liquidating distribution to the Company's public stockholders, and the Director Additional Founder's Warrants will expire worthless. (v) Transfer Restrictions: In addition to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 5 hereof, the Purchasers shall not sell or transfer the Director Founder's Units, Director Founder's Shares, Director Initial Founder's Warrants and Director Additional Founder's Warrants and the Shares underlying the Director Initial Founder's Warrants and Director Additional Founder's Warrants (collectively, the "Securities") for a period of one year from the date the Company completes its initial business combination (or until after the Company completes a business combination with respect to the Director Additional Founder's Warrants and the Shares underlying the Director Additional Founder's Warrants) except to a Permitted Transferee (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) who agrees in writing with the Company to be subject to such transfer restrictions, vote the Director Founder's Shares as provided in (ii) above; waive any right to participate in any liquidation distribution as provided in (ii) above and agrees to the forfeiture of the Director Founder's Units, Director Founder's Shares and Director Initial Founder's Warrants as provided in (vi) below.

If dividends are declared and payable in Shares, such dividends will also be subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 1.C.(v). (vi) Registration Rights: In connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company, the Seller and the Purchasers shall enter into an agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") granting the Seller and the Purchasers registration rights with respect to the Securities.

(viii) Seller Repurchase: Each Purchaser agrees that if at any time prior to the consummation of the Company's initial business combination such Purchaser resigns from, or is removed for cause from, the board of directors of the Company then concurrently therewith such Purchaser shall sell to the Seller all Director Founder's Units and Director Additional Founder's Warrants owned by him at a price per Unit equal to the Director Founder's Units Purchase Price per Unit in the case of the Director Founder's Units and the Director Additional Founder's Warrants Purchase Price per Warrant in the case of the Director Additional Founder's Warrants, respectively. 3 Section 2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS. As a material inducement to the Company and the Seller to enter into this Agreement and for the Seller to sell the Director Founder's Units and Director Additional Founder's Warrants, each Purchaser severally and not jointly hereby represents and warrants to the Seller and the Company that: A. Capacity and State Law Compliance. Such Purchaser has engaged in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement within a state in which the offer and sale of the Director Founder's Units and Director Additional Founder's Warrants is permitted under applicable securities laws. B. Authorization. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms. C. Investment Representations. (i) Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for his own account, for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, any public sale or distribution thereof. (ii) Such Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D. (iii) Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and will be sold to him in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Seller and the Company are relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Purchaser's compliance with, the representations and warranties of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire such Securities. (iv) Such Purchaser did not decide to enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). (v) Such Purchaser has been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by such Purchaser. Such Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the executive officers and directors of the Company. Such Purchaser understands that his investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. Such Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as such Purchaser has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to such Purchaser's acquisition of the Securities. (vi) Such Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities by such Purchaser nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities. (vii) Such Purchaser understands that: (a) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder or (B) sold in reliance on an exemption therefrom; and (b) except as specifically set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. In this regard, such Purchaser understands that the Securities and 4 Exchange Commission has taken the position that promoters or affiliates of a blank check company and their transferees, both before and after a Business Combination, are deemed to be "underwriters" under the Securities Act when reselling the securities of a blank check company. Based on that position, Rule 144 adopted pursuant to the Securities Act would not be available for resale transactions of the Securities despite technical compliance with the requirements of such Rule, and the Securities can be resold only through a registered offering or in reliance upon another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of his investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time. (viii) Such Purchaser has such knowledge and expertise in financial and business matters, knows of the high degree of risk associated with investments generally and particularly investments in the securities of companies in the development stage such as the Company, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities in the amount contemplated hereunder. Such Purchaser has adequate means of providing for his current financial needs and contingencies and will have no current or anticipated future needs for liquidity which would be jeopardized by the investment in the Securities. Such Purchaser can afford a complete loss of his investment in the Securities. D. Waiver of Right to Amounts in the Trust Account and Indemnification. (i) Such Purchaser hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distribution of the trust account established by the Company for the deposit of proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Additional Founder's Warrants, as a result of any liquidation of the trust account, with respect to the Director Founder's Shares ("Claim") and hereby waives any Claim he 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 account for any reason whatsoever except for any amounts to which he may be entitled upon liquidation of the Company in respect of such Purchaser's ownership of Shares other than the Director Founder's Shares. (ii) Such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the stockholders of the Company, including those who purchase the units in the Initial Public Offering, are and shall be third-party beneficiaries of the foregoing provisions of Section 2.D. of this Agreement. (iii) Such Purchaser agrees that to the extent any waiver of rights under this Section 2.D. is ineffective as a matter of law, such Purchaser has offered such waiver for the benefit of the Seller and the Company as an equitable right that shall survive any statutory disqualification or bar that applies to a legal right. Such Purchaser acknowledges the receipt and sufficiency of consideration received from the Seller and the Company hereunder in this regard. Section 3. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All of the representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the purchase of the Securities hereunder. Section 4. DEFINITIONS.

Upon receiving such notice, the Company shall present copies thereof to its counsel and each Purchaser agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until: (a) there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement, in which case the legends set forth above with respect to the Securities sold pursuant to such registration statement shall be removed; or (b) if reasonably requested by the Company, (A) each Purchaser shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration of such Securities under the Securities Act, (B) the Company shall have received customary representations and warranties regarding the transferee that are reasonably satisfactory to the Company signed by the proposed transferee and (C) the Company shall have received an agreement by such transferee to the restrictions contained in the legends referred to in (i) hereof.
