WHEREAS, the Company has entered into an Underwriting Agreement, dated [               ], 2008 (“Underwriting Agreement”) with UBS Securities LLC (“UBS) and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. (“Ladenburg” and together with UBS, the “Representatives”) acting as representatives of the several underwriters (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which, among other matters, the Underwriters have agreed to purchase 20,000,000 units (not including the underwriters’ over-allotment option) (“Units”) of the Company. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and one warrant (“Warrant”), each Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock, all as more fully described in the Company’s definitive Prospectus, dated [                   ], 2008 (“Prospectus”) comprising part of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-                ) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Registration Statement”), declared effective on [              ], 2008 (the “Effective Date”);

WHEREAS, the Initial Stockholder have agreed, as a condition of the Underwriters’ obligation to purchase the Units pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and to offer them to the public, to deposit all its shares of Common Stock, as set forth opposite its name in Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively the “Escrow Shares”), in escrow as hereinafter provided;

WHEREAS, the Company has entered into a Subscription Agreement with the Initial Stockholder (the “Initial Warrantholder,” and together with status as Initial Stockholder, the “Initial Holder”), dated                   , 2007 (the “Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which the Initial Warrantholder has agreed to purchase 5,750,000 of the Company’s warrants (the “Private Warrants”) in a private placement transaction;

WHEREAS, the Initial Warrantholder has agreed as a condition of the sale of the Private Warrants to deposit the Private Warrants (together with the Escrow Shares, the “Escrow Securities”), with the Escrow Agent as hereinafter provided; and

WHEREAS, the Company and the Initial Holder desire that the Escrow Agent accept the Escrow Securities, in escrow, to be held and disbursed as hereinafter provided.

IT IS AGREED:

1.             Appointment of Escrow Agent. The Company and the Initial Holders hereby appoint the Escrow Agent to act in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement

and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to act in accordance with and subject to such terms.

2.             Deposit of Escrow Securities. On or before the Effective Date, the Initial Holder shall deliver to the Escrow Agent certificates representing its Escrow Securities, to be held and disbursed subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Initial Holder acknowledges and agrees that the certificates representing the Escrow Securities will bear a legend to reflect the deposit of such Escrow Securities under this Agreement.

3.             Disbursement of the Escrow Securities.

3.1.          The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Shares and the Private Warrants until the termination of their respective Escrow Period (as defined below). The “Escrow Period” for the Escrow Shares shall be the period beginning on the date the certificates representing the Shares are deposited with the Escrow Agent and ending on the date that is the earlier of twelve (12) months following the consummation of the initial Business Combination (as such term is defined in the Registration Statement) or two (2) years from the Effective Date, except that if the over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part, up to 750,000 shares of common stock may be released from escrow for cancellation. For the Private Warrants, the “Escrow Period” shall be the period beginning on the date the certificates representing the Private Warrants are deposited with the Escrow Agent and ending 30 days after the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination. On the termination date of the applicable Escrow Period, the Escrow Agent shall, upon written instructions from the Initial Holder, disburse the Initial Holder’s applicable Escrow Securities to such Initial Holder; provided, however, that if the Escrow Agent is notified by the Company pursuant to Section 6.7 hereof that the Company is being liquidated at any time during the Escrow Period, then the Escrow Agent shall promptly destroy the certificates representing the Escrow Securities; provided further, that if, after the Company consummates a Business Combination (as such term is defined in the Registration Statement), it (or the surviving entity) subsequently consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of its stockholders of such entity having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property, then the Escrow Agent will, upon receipt of a notice, executed by the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company, in form reasonably acceptable to the Escrow Agent, certifying that such transaction is then being consummated, release the Escrow Securities to the Initial Holder so that they can similarly participate. The Escrow Agent shall have no further duties hereunder after the disbursement or destruction of the Escrow Securities in accordance with this Section 3.

4.             Rights of Initial Holders in Escrow Securities.

4.1.          Voting Rights as a Stockholder.

4.2.          Dividends and Other Distributions in Respect of the Escrow Securities. During the Escrow Period, all dividends payable in cash with respect to the Escrow Securities shall be paid to the Initial Stockholder, but all dividends payable in stock or other non-cash property (“Non-Cash Dividends”) shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent to hold in accordance with the terms hereof. As used herein, the term “Escrow Securities” shall be deemed to include the Non-Cash Dividends distributed thereon, if any.

During the Escrow Period, the Initial Holder shall not pledge or grant a security interest in the Escrow Securities or grant a security interest in their rights under this Agreement.
