WHEREAS, the Company and the Trustee desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Trustee shall hold the Property.







NOW THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:







1.           Agreements and Covenants of Trustee.  The Trustee hereby agrees and covenants to:







(a)      Hold the Property in trust for the Beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in a segregated trust account (“Trust Account”) established by the Trustee at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and at a brokerage institution selected by the Company that is satisfactory to the Trustee;







(b)      Manage, supervise and administer the Trust Account subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;


 


(c)      In a timely manner, upon the instruction of the Company, to invest and reinvest the Property in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 having a maturity of 180 days or less, and/or in any open ended investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of paragraphs (c)(2), (c)(3) and (c)(4) of Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as determined by the Company.









  





  











  






(d)      Collect and receive, when due, all principal and income arising from the Property, which shall become part of the “Property,” as such term is used herein;







(e)      Notify the Company of all communications received by it with respect to any Property requiring action by the Company;







(f)      Supply any necessary information or documents as may be requested by the Company in connection with the Company’s preparation of its tax returns;







(g)      Participate in any plan or proceeding for protecting or enforcing any right or interest arising from the Property if, as and when instructed by the Company to do so, so long as the Company shall have advanced funds sufficient to pay the Trustee’s expenses incident thereto.







(h)      Render to the Company, and to such other person as the Company may instruct, monthly written statements of the activities of, and amounts in, the Trust Account, reflecting all receipts and disbursements of the Trust Account; and







(i)      Commence liquidation of the Trust Account only after and promptly after receipt of, and only in accordance with, the terms of a letter (“Termination Letter”), in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as either Exhibit A or Exhibit B hereto, signed on behalf of the Company by its Chief Executive Officer, President or Chairman of the Board and Secretary or Assistant Secretary, and complete the liquidation of the Trust Account and distribute the Property in the Trust Account only as directed in the Termination Letter and the other documents referred to therein; provided, however, that in the event that a Termination Letter has not been received by the Trustee by the 21-month anniversary of the Effective Date of the Registration Statement, the Trust Account shall be liquidated in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Termination Letter attached as Exhibit B hereto and distributed to the Public Shareholders of record on such 21-month anniversary date.  In the event the Trustee receives a Termination Letter in a form substantially similar to Exhibit B hereto, or if the Trustee begins to liquidate the Property because it has received no such Termination Letter by the 21-month anniversary of the Effective Date of the Registration Statement, following the liquidation of the Property, the Trustee shall keep the Trust Account open until twelve (12) months following the date the Property has been distributed to the Public Shareholders.  The provisions of this paragraph 1(i) may not be modified, amended or deleted under any circumstances.







2.           Limited Distributions of Income from Trust Account.







(a)      Upon written request from the Company, which may be given from time to time in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit C, the Trustee shall distribute to the Company from the Trust Account the amount necessary to cover any tax obligation owed by the Company and, to the extent there is not sufficient cash in the Trust Account to pay such tax obligation, liquidate such assets held in the Trust Account as shall be designated by the Company in writing to make such distribution.  The written request of the Company referenced above shall constitute presumptive evidence that the Company is entitled to said funds, and the Trustee has no responsibility to look beyond said request.







(b)      Upon written request from the Company, which shall be given from time to time in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit D, the Trustee shall distribute to the Company the amount requested by the Company to cover expenses related to investigating and selecting a target business and any other working capital requirements; provided, however, that the Company will not be allowed to withdraw interest income earned on the trust account unless there are sufficient funds available to pay the Company’s tax obligations on such interest income on the date hereof or when otherwise due.  A representation to such effect contained in the written request of the Company referenced above shall constitute presumptive evidence that the Company is entitled to said funds, and the Trustee has no responsibility to look beyond said request.









  





2











  






(c)      The limited distributions referred to in paragraph 2(a) above shall be made only from income collected on the Property, and in no event shall the payments authorized by paragraph 2(a) and 2(b) cause the amount in the Trust Account to fall below the amount initially deposited into the Trust Account.  Except as provided in paragraph 2(a) and 2(b) above, no other distributions from the Trust Account shall be permitted except in accordance with paragraph 1(i) hereof.







(d)      In all cases, the Company shall promptly provide Cohen & Company with a copy of any Termination Letters and/or any other correspondence that it issues to the Trustee with respect to any proposed withdrawal from the Trust Account promptly after such issuance.

(b)      Subject to the provisions of paragraph 5 of this Agreement, hold the Trustee harmless and indemnify the Trustee from and against, any and all expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, or loss suffered by the Trustee in connection with any action taken by the Trustee hereunder or any claim, potential claim, action, suit or other proceeding brought against the Trustee involving any claim, or in connection with any claim or demand which in any way arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services of the Trustee hereunder, or the Property or any income earned from investment of the Property, except for expenses and losses resulting from the Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Promptly after the receipt by the Trustee of notice of demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, pursuant to which the Trustee intends to seek indemnification under this paragraph, it shall notify the Company in writing of such claim (hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnified Claim”).  The Trustee shall have the right to conduct and manage the defense against such Indemnified Claim, provided, that the Trustee shall obtain the consent of the Company with respect to the selection of counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The Trustee may not agree to settle any Indemnified Claim without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The Company may participate in such action with its own counsel;







(c)      Pay the Trustee the fees set forth on Schedule A hereto, including an initial acceptance fee, an annual fee and a transaction processing fee for each disbursement made pursuant to paragraph 2(a), which fees shall be subject to modification by the parties from time to time.

The Company shall pay the Trustee the initial acceptance fee and first year’s fee at the consummation of the IPO and thereafter on the anniversary of the Effective Date;







(d)      In connection with the vote, if any, of the Public Shareholders regarding a Business Transaction, provide to the Trustee an affidavit or certificate of a firm regularly engaged in the business of soliciting proxies and/or tabulating shareholder votes verifying the vote of the Public Shareholders regarding such Business Transaction; and







(e)      In connection with the Trustee acting as Paying/Disbursing Agent pursuant to Exhibit B, Exhibit C or Exhibit D, the Company will not give the Trustee disbursement instructions which would be prohibited under this Agreement.







(f)      Promptly after the Deferred Fee shall become determinable on a final basis, to provide the Trustee notice in writing (with a copy to Cohen & Company) of the total amount of the Deferred Fee.
