The Securities will bear the following Legends and appropriate "stop transfer" instructions:

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (A) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (B) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (IF AVAILABLE) OR (C) PURSUANT TO ANY OTHER EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.

THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO A LOCK UP AGREEMENT, WHICH IS FILED WITH THE COMPANY’S CORPORATE BOOKS AND RECORDS.

4.2 Subscriber's Compliance. Nothing in this Section 4 shall affect in any way the Subscriber's obligations and agreement to comply with all applicable securities laws upon resale of the Securities.

4.3 Company’s Refusal to Register Transfer of Securities. The Company shall refuse to register any transfer of the Securities, not made in accordance with (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, or (ii) pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

5. Lock up.

The Subscriber shall, as specified in a Letter Agreement which the Company, Cowen and Company, LLC and Maxim Group LLC will enter into with the Subscriber, lock up the Subscriber’s Warrants for a period commencing on the date of the Letter Agreement and ending on the earlier of (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the Company’s dissolution and liquidation. As used herein, a “Business Combination” shall mean any acquisition by merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase or other similar business combination consummated by the Company with one or more small- to mid-market U.S. and/or European based operating companies engaged in the delivery of Information Technology and Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES), Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and/or Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO), whose operations are particularly suitable for operational and productivity improvements, which would include leveraging delivery centers located in offshore countries such as India (as described more fully in the Registration Statement).

6. Waiver of Liquidation Distributions.

In connection with the Subscriber’s Warrants purchased pursuant to this Agreement, the Subscriber hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any liquidating distributions by the Company in the event of a liquidation of the Company upon the Company's failure to timely complete a Business Combination. For purposes of clarity, in the event the Subscriber purchases shares of Common Stock in the IPO or in the aftermarket such shares shall be eligible to receive any liquidating distributions by the Company. The Subscriber shall have no conversion rights (as described in the Registration Statement) in connection with a Business Combination.

7. Rescission Right Waiver and Indemnification

7.1 The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act requires that there be no general solicitation of purchasers of the Warrants. In this regard, if the offering of the units in the Company’s initial public offering were deemed to be a general solicitation with respect to the Subscriber’s Warrants, the offer and sale of such Warrants may not be exempt from registration and, if not, the Subscriber may have a right to rescind its purchases of the Subscriber’s Warrants. In order to facilitate the completion of the placement contemplated hereby and in order to protect the Company, its stockholders and the trust account described in the Registration Statement from claims that may adversely affect the Company or the interests of its stockholders, the Subscriber hereby agrees to waive, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any claims, right to sue or rights in law or arbitration, as the case may be, to seek rescission of its purchase of the Warrants. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is being made in order to induce the Company to sell the Warrants to the Subscriber. The Subscriber agrees that the foregoing waiver of rescission rights shall apply to any and all known or unknown actions, causes of action, suits, claims, or proceedings (collectively, “Claims”) and related losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, whether compensatory, consequential or exemplary, and expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ and expert witness fees and disbursements and all other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any Claims, whether pending or threatened, in connection with any present or future actual or asserted right to rescind the purchase of the Warrants hereunder or relating to the purchase of the Warrants and the transactions contemplated hereby.

7.2 The Subscriber agrees not to seek recourse against the trust account described in the Registration Statement for any reason whatsoever in connection with its purchase of the Warrants or any Claim that may arise now or in the future.

7.3 The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the stockholders of the Company are and shall be third-party beneficiaries of the foregoing provisions of this Agreement.

7.4 The Subscriber agrees that to the extent any waiver of rights under this Section 7 is ineffective as a matter of law, the Subscriber has offered such waiver for the benefit of the Company as an equitable right that shall survive any statutory disqualification or bar that applies to a legal right. The Subscriber acknowledges the receipt and sufficiency of consideration received from the Company hereunder in this regard.

8. Registration Rights.

The Subscriber shall have registration rights with respect to the Securities pursuant to the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement to be entered into among the Company and certain of its security holders (including the Subscriber).

9. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed wholly within said State, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof. The Subscriber irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York located in New York County and the United District Court for the Southern District of New York. The parties hereto hereby waive any right to a jury trial in connection with any litigation pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

10.4 Binding Upon Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and to their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.

11. Notices; Indemnity

11.1 Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein, any notice or other communication to a party hereunder shall be sufficiently given if in writing and personally delivered or sent by facsimile with copy sent in another manner herein provided or sent by courier (which for all purposes of this Agreement shall include Federal Express or other recognized overnight courier) or mailed to said party by certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address provided for herein or such other address as either may designate for itself in such notice to the other and communications shall be deemed to have been received when delivered personally, on the scheduled arrival date when sent by next day or 2-day courier service, or if sent by facsimile upon receipt of confirmation of transmittal or, if sent by mail, then three days after deposit in the mail.

11.2 Indemnification. Each party shall indemnify the other against any loss, cost or damages (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) incurred as a result of such party's breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement.

12. Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be enforceable against the parties actually executing such counterparts, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
