(a)           The undersigned hereby waives any
right to receive distributions (other than with respect to Common Stock or any
shares of Common Stock underlying units the undersigned may purchase in
connection with the IPO or in the after market) upon the liquidation of the
Trust Fund (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (as
amended, the “Certificate”; capitalized terms used herein but not
defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Certificate)), or as part of
any plan of dissolution and distribution required in the event the Company does

(b)           The undersigned hereby waives any
right set forth in the Certificate to demand conversion of the undersigned’s
shares of Common Stock into cash (other than with respect to Common Stock or

with the IPO or in the after market) in the event a Business Combination is
approved by the Company’s stockholders.


 


(c)           In connection with the stockholder
vote required to approve a Business Combination, the undersigned shall vote any
shares of Common Stock then owned by the undersigned in accordance with the
majority of the shares of Common Stock voted by the Company’s public
stockholders. In connection with the stockholder vote for the Company’s plan of
dissolution and distribution, if any, required as a result of the Company’s
failure to consummate a Business Combination by the Termination Date, the
undersigned shall vote any shares of Common Stock then owned by the undersigned
in favor of such dissolution and distribution.


 


(d)           The undersigned and any affiliate of
the undersigned will not be entitled to receive from the Company, and will not
accept from the Company, any compensation (including finder’s or consulting
fees) for services rendered to the Company prior to or in connection with the consummation
of a Business Combination (except as described in the registration statement
filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission in
connection with the IPO (the “Registration Statement”).


 


(e)           The undersigned will escrow the
shares of Common Stock owned by the undersigned immediately prior to the IPO
pursuant to a stock escrow agreement until the earliest of (i) one year from

Stock for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the Company’s
consummating a Business Combination.


 


(f)            The undersigned further agrees that

which results in all the Company's Stockholders having the right to exchange
their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property subsequent

2.             Agreements of
Directors and Officers


 


(a)           In the event that the Company does
not consummate a Business Combination by the Termination Date, in the event the
undersigned is a director of the Company, the undersigned, in his capacity as a
Director of the Company, (i) acknowledges the requirement set forth in the
Certificate that the Board of Directors of the Company shall adopt, within 15
days after the Termination Date, a resolution finding the dissolution of the
Company advisable and provide notices to the Company’s stockholders as required
by § 275(a) of the Delaware General Corporate Law as soon as reasonably
practicable thereafter and (ii) will take all reasonable actions within the
undersigned’s power to effect such dissolution of the Company under the
circumstances contemplated by the Certificate provided that at the time of such
liquidation and dissolution the undersigned is a director.


 


(b)           In order to minimize potential
conflicts of interest which may arise from multiple affiliations, in the event
the undersigned is an officer of the Company, the undersigned, in his capacity
as an officer of the Company, agrees to present to the Company for its
consideration, prior to presentation to any other person or entity, any suitable
opportunity to

acquire an operating business, until the
earlier of the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination, the
liquidation of the Company or until such time as the undersigned is not an
officer of the Company, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary and contractual
obligations the undersigned might have.


 


(c)           The undersigned intends to be the
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company until the earlier of the
consummation by the Company of a Business Combination or the liquidation of the
Company. The undersigned’s biographical information set forth in the
Registration Statement is true and accurate in all respects, does not omit any
material information with respect to the undersigned’s background and contains
all of the information required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 401 of
Regulation S-K, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. The undersigned’s
Director’s and Officer’s Questionnaire furnished to the Company in connection
with the Registration Statement is true and accurate in all respects. The
undersigned represents and warrants that, except as disclosed in the
undersigned’s Director’s and Officer’s Questionnaire:


 


i.              the undersigned is
not subject to or a respondent in any legal action for, any injunction,
cease-and-desist order or order or stipulation to desist or refrain from any
act or practice relating to the offering of securities in any jurisdiction;


 


ii.             the undersigned
has never been convicted of or pleaded guilty to any crime (i) involving any
fraud or (ii) relating to any financial transaction or handling of funds of
another person, or (iii) pertaining to any dealings in any securities, and is
not currently a defendant in any such criminal proceeding; and


 


iii.            the undersigned

(d)           The undersigned has full right and
power, without violating any agreement by which he is bound, to enter into this

3.             Reimbursement of
Vendor Obligations


 


If the Trust Fund is liquidated before completion
of a Business Combination, the undersigned agrees to reimburse the Company for
the Company’s Vendor Obligations. For purposes of this paragraph, “Vendor
Obligations” shall mean the debts of the Company to vendors from whom the
Company does not obtain a valid and enforceable waiver of such vendor’s rights
against or claims to the Trust Fund for services rendered or products sold to
the Company in excess of the net proceeds of the IPO not held in the Trust Fund
at the time of its liquidation, to the extent that such debts or obligations
(i) actually reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Fund that are
distributable to the Company’s stockholders and (ii) are not reimbursed by any
insurance procured by the Company to cover such claims made against the Trust
Fund. For the avoidance of doubt, Vendor Obligations do not include (x) any
debts or obligations to vendors that do not represent service fees (and related
disbursements) or product purchase prices, (y) any debts or obligations to
prospective target businesses if a Business Combination is not


 


3





















 


consummated with such prospective target
businesses or (z) any debts or obligations owed to any entity other than a
vendor.


 


4.             Miscellaneous


 


(a)           The undersigned has full right and
power, without violating any agreement by which the undersigned is bound, to
enter into this letter agreement.


 


(b)           This letter 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
undersigned hereby (i) agrees that any action, proceeding or claim against him
arising out of or relating in any way to this letter agreement (a “Proceeding”)
shall be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York of the
United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and irrevocably
submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be exclusive, and (ii)
waives any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts
represent an inconvenient forum. If for any reason such agent is unable to act
as such, the undersigned will promptly notify the Company and the Underwriters
and appoint a substitute agent acceptable to the Underwriters within 30 days
and nothing in this letter will affect the right of either party to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law.
