institution referred to in 1(a) above to place the Property in a cash demand deposit account; it being understood that unless the
Company instructs the Trustee to do either of the foregoing, the Trust Account will earn no interest while account funds are uninvested
awaiting the Company’s instructions hereunder and the Trustee may earn bank credits or other consideration during such periods;

against any and all expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, or losses suffered by the Trustee in
connection with any claim, potential claim, action, suit, or other proceeding brought against the Trustee 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

    3


     


    

 


(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 (provided, that with respect to its duties
under Sections 1(i), 1(j), and 2(a) above, the Trustee shall take no action except as set
forth in written instructions from the Company, confirmed by telephone, in accordance with Section 3(a)), except for
its gross negligence, fraud 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 (provided, that
with respect to its duties under Sections 1(i), 1(j), and 2(a) above, the Trustee shall
take no action except as set forth in written instructions from the Company, confirmed by telephone, in accordance with Section
3(a)). 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;


 


(g) Verify the correctness
of the information set forth in the Registration Statement or to confirm or assure that any Business Combination consummated by
the Company or any other action taken by it is as contemplated by the Registration Statement;

to the Company documenting the taxes, if any, payable by the Company or the Trust Account, relating to the income earned on the
Property;


 


(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 and that such
taxes, if any, shall be paid by the Company from funds not held in the Trust Account or released to it under Section 2(a)
hereof);


 


(j) Imply obligations,
perform duties, inquire, or otherwise be subject to the provisions of any agreement or document other than this agreement and that

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


 


(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.


 






    4


     


    

 


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.
Except for any liability arising out of the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct, 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 a majority 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 Representative.
The Trustee may require from Company counsel an opinion as to the propriety of any proposed amendment.


 


(e) Any notice, consent
or request to be given in connection with any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent
