owed to the Trustee shall be deducted by the Trustee from the disbursements made to the Company pursuant to Section 2(b)
or pursuant to Section 1(i) solely in connection with the consummation of a business combination (a “Business Combination”).

(f) The
other parties hereto or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted,
in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee
may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion, or advice of counsel
(including counsel chosen by the Trustee), statement, instrument, report, or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution
and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained)
which is believed by the Trustee, in good faith, to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The
Trustee shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination, or rescission of this Agreement or
any of the terms hereof, unless evidenced by a written instrument delivered to the Trustee signed by the proper party or parties
and, if the duties or rights of the Trustee are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto;


 



    4


     


    




 


(g) Verify

(i) Pay
any taxes on behalf of the Trust Account (it being expressly understood that the Property shall not be used to pay any such taxes

or 2(b) above.


 


5. Trust
Account Waiver. The Trustee has no right of set-off or any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”)
to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account, and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account
that it may have now or in the future. In the event the Trustee has any Claim against the Company under this Agreement, including,
without limitation, under Section 3(b) or Section 3(c) hereof, the Trustee shall pursue such Claim solely against
the Company and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the Property or any monies in the Trust Account.


 


		6.	Termination. This Agreement shall terminate as follows:



 


(a) If
the Trustee gives written notice to the Company that it desires to resign under this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable
efforts to locate a successor trustee during which time the Trustee shall act in accordance with this Agreement. At such time that
the Company notifies the Trustee that a successor trustee has been appointed by the Company and has agreed to become subject to
the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee shall transfer the management of the Trust Account to the successor trustee, including
but not limited to the transfer of copies of the reports and statements relating to the Trust Account, whereupon this Agreement
shall terminate; provided, however, that, in the event that the Company does not locate a successor trustee within ninety (90)
days of receipt of the resignation notice from the Trustee, the Trustee may submit an application to have the Property deposited
with any court in the State of New York or with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and upon
such deposit, the Trustee shall be immune from any liability whatsoever; or


 



    5


     


    




 


(b) At
such time that the Trustee has completed the liquidation of the Trust Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(i)
hereof, and distributed the Property in accordance with the provisions of the Termination Letter, this Agreement shall terminate
except with respect to Section 3(b) and Section 5.


 


		7.	Miscellaneous.



 


(a) The
Company and the Trustee will each restrict access to confidential information relating to funds being transferred to or from the
Trust Account to authorized persons. Each party must notify the other party immediately if it has reason to believe unauthorized
persons may have obtained access to such information, or of any change in its authorized personnel. In executing funds transfers,
the Trustee will rely upon all information supplied to it by the Company, including account names, account numbers, and all other
identifying information relating to a beneficiary, beneficiary’s bank, or intermediary bank. The Trustee shall not be liable
for any loss, liability, or expense resulting from any error in the information supplied to it or funds transferred based on such
information.


 


(b) This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving
effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. The
parties hereto consent to the jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court located in the City of New York, Borough of
Manhattan, for purposes of resolving any disputes hereunder. As to any claim, cross-claim, or counterclaim in any way relating
to this Agreement, each party waives the right to trial by jury.


 


(c) This
Agreement may be executed in several original or facsimile counterparts, each one of which shall constitute an original, and together
shall constitute but one instrument.


 


(d) This
Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except
for Sections 1(i) and 1(j) (which sections may not be modified, amended or deleted without the affirmative vote of sixty five percent
(65%) of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company; provided that no such amendment will affect any Public Stockholder
who has otherwise indicated his, her or its election to redeem his, her or its shares of Common Stock in connection with a vote
sought to amend this Agreement), this Agreement or any provision hereof may only be changed, amended or modified by a writing signed
by each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that no such change, amendment or modification may be made without the prior
written consent of the Representatives. The Trustee may require from Company counsel an opinion as to the propriety of any proposed
amendment.
