This Investment Management Trust Agreement
(this “Agreement”) is made effective as of [●], 2014 by and between WL Ross Holding Corp., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation
(the “Trustee”).


 


WHEREAS, the Company’s registration
statement on Form S-1, No. 333-195854 (the “Registration Statement”) and prospectus (the “Prospectus”)
for the initial public offering of the Company’s units (the “Units”), each of which consists of
one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and
one warrant, each warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one-half of one share of Common Stock (such initial public offering
hereinafter referred to as the “Offering”), has been declared effective as of the date hereof by the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; and


 


WHEREAS, the Company has entered into an
Underwriting Agreement with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as representatives
of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”) named therein (the “Underwriting Agreement”);
and


 


WHEREAS, as described in the Registration
Statement, $400,000,000 of the gross proceeds of the Offering and sale of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined in the Underwriting
Agreement) (or $460,000,000 if the Underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) will be delivered to the Trustee
to be deposited and held in a segregated trust account located in the United States (the “Trust Account”)
for the benefit of the Company and the holders of the Company’s Common Stock included in the Units issued in the Offering
as hereinafter provided (the amount to be delivered to the Trustee (and any interest subsequently earned thereon) is referred to
herein as the “Property,” the stockholders for whose benefit the Trustee shall hold the Property
will be referred to as the “Public Stockholders,” and the Public Stockholders and the Company will be
referred to together as the “Beneficiaries”); and


 


WHEREAS, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement,
a portion of the Property equal to $14,000,000, or $16,100,000 if the Underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in
full is attributable to deferred underwriting discounts and commissions that may be payable by the Company to the Underwriters
upon the consummation of the Business Combination (as defined below) (the “Deferred Discount”); and


 


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 the Trust Account established by the Trustee at JP Morgan Chase
Bank, N.A. and at a brokerage institution selected by the Trustee that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company;


 


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


 


(c) In a timely manner, upon the written
instruction of the Company, 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, as amended, having a maturity of 180 days or less, or in money market funds meeting
the conditions of paragraphs (c)(2), (c)(3), (c)(4) and (c)(5) of Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company; it being understood
that the Trust Account will earn no interest while account funds are uninvested awaiting the Company’s instructions hereunder;


 


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


 






    	 



    	 



    

 


(e) Promptly notify the Company and Deutsche
Bank Securities Inc. of all communications received by the Trustee with respect to any Property requiring action by the Company;


 


(f) Supply any necessary information or
documents as may be requested by the Company (or its authorized agents) in connection with the Company’s preparation of the
tax returns relating to assets held in the Trust Account;


 


(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;


 


(h) Render to the Company monthly written
statements of the activities of, and amounts in, the Trust Account reflecting all receipts and disbursements of the Trust Account;


 


(i) Commence liquidation of the Trust Account
only after and promptly after (x) receipt of, and only in accordance with, the terms of a letter from the Company (“Termination
Letter”) in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as either Exhibit A or Exhibit B signed on behalf
of the Company by its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Chairman of the board of directors (the “Board”)
or other authorized officer of the Company, and complete the liquidation of the Trust Account and distribute the Property in the
Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of any taxes payable and less up to $50,000 of interest that may
be released to the Company to pay dissolution expenses), only as directed in the Termination Letter and the other documents referred
to therein, or (y) [●], 2016, if a Termination Letter has not been received by the Trustee prior to such date, in which case
the Trust Account shall be liquidated in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Termination Letter attached as Exhibit
B and the Property in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of any taxes payable and less up to $50,000
of interest that may be released to the Company to pay dissolution expenses), shall be distributed to the Public Stockholders of
record as of such date; provided, however, that 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 [●], 2016, the Trustee shall keep the Trust Account open until twelve (12) months following the date the Property has
been distributed to the Public Stockholders;


 


(j) 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 (a “Tax Payment
Withdrawal Instruction”), withdraw from the Trust Account and distribute to the Company the amount of interest earned
on the Property requested by the Company to cover any tax obligation owed by the Company as a result of assets of the Company or
interest or other income earned on the Property, which amount shall be delivered directly to the Company by electronic funds transfer
or other method of prompt payment, and the Company shall forward such payment to the relevant taxing authority; provided,
however, that to the extent there is not sufficient cash in the Trust Account to pay such tax obligation, the Trustee shall
liquidate such assets held in the Trust Account as shall be designated by the Company in writing to make such distribution; so
long as there is no reduction in the principal amount initially deposited in the Trust Account; provided, however,
that if the tax to be paid is a franchise tax, the written request by the Company to make such distribution shall be accompanied
by a copy of the franchise tax bill from the State of Delaware for the Company and a written statement from the principal financial
officer of the Company setting forth the actual amount payable (it being acknowledged and agreed that any such amount in excess
of interest income earned on the Property shall not be payable from the Trust Account). The written request of the Company referenced
above shall constitute presumptive evidence that the Company is entitled to said funds, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility
to look beyond said request;


 


(k) Not make any withdrawals or distributions
from the Trust Account other than pursuant to Section 1(i) or (j) above; and


 


(l) Within four (4) business days after
the Underwriters exercise the over-allotment option (or any unexercised portion thereof) or such over-allotment expires, provide
the Trustee with a notice in writing of the total amount of the Deferred Discount, which shall in no event be less than $14,000,000.


  



 


2. Agreements and Covenants of the Company.
The Company hereby agrees and covenants to:


 


(a) Give all instructions to the Trustee
hereunder in writing, signed by the Company’s Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial
Officer. In addition, except with respect to its duties under Sections 1(i) and 1(j) hereof, the Trustee shall be
entitled to rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, any verbal or telephonic advice or instruction which it, in good faith
and with reasonable care, believes to be given by any one of the persons authorized above to give written instructions, provided
that the Company shall promptly confirm such instructions in writing;


 






    	 



    	 



    

 


(b) Subject to Section 4 hereof, hold the
Trustee harmless and indemnify the Trustee from and against any and all expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements,
or losses suffered by the Trustee in connection with any action taken by it hereunder and in connection with any 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 interest earned on the Property,
except for expenses and losses resulting from the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud 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 Section 2(b), 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 such 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, annual administration fee, and transaction processing fee which fees
shall be subject to modification by the parties from time to time. It is expressly understood that the Property shall not be used
to pay such fees unless and until it is distributed to the Company pursuant to Sections 1(i) through 1(j) hereof.
The Company shall pay the Trustee the initial acceptance fee and the first annual administration fee at the consummation of the
Offering. The Trustee shall refund to the Company the monthly fee (on a pro rata basis) with respect to any period after the liquidation
of the Trust Account. The Company shall not be responsible for any other fees or charges of the Trustee except as set forth in
this Section 2(c) and as may be provided in Section 2(b) hereof;


 


(d) In connection with any vote of the
Company’s stockholders regarding a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar
business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”), provide
to the Trustee an affidavit or certificate of the inspector of elections for the stockholder meeting verifying the vote of such
stockholders regarding such Business Combination;


 


(e) Provide Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.
with a copy of any Termination Letter(s) and/or any other correspondence that is sent to the Trustee with respect to any proposed
withdrawal from the Trust Account promptly after it issues the same; and


 


(f) Instruct the Trustee to make only those
distributions that are permitted under this Agreement, and refrain from instructing the Trustee to make any distributions that
are not permitted under this Agreement.


 


3. Limitations of Liability. The Trustee
shall have no responsibility or liability to:


 


(a) Imply obligations, perform duties,
inquire or otherwise be subject to the provisions of any agreement or document other than this agreement and that which is expressly
set forth herein;


 


(b) Take any action with respect to the
Property, other than as directed in Section 1 hereof, and the Trustee shall have no liability to any party except for liability
arising out of the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct;


 


(c) Institute any proceeding for the collection
of any principal and income arising from, or institute, appear in or defend any proceeding of any kind with respect to, any of
the Property unless and until it shall have received instructions from the Company given as provided herein to do so and the Company
shall have advanced or guaranteed to it funds sufficient to pay any expenses incident thereto;


 


(d) Refund any depreciation in principal
of any Property;


  







    	 



    	 



    

 





(e) Assume that the authority of any person
designated by the Company to give instructions hereunder shall not be continuing unless provided otherwise in such designation,
or unless the Company shall have delivered a written revocation of such authority to the Trustee;


 


(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 Trustee’s
best judgment, except for the Trustee’s 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, which counsel may be the Company’s counsel), 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 the Trustee believes, in good faith and with reasonable care, 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;


 


(g) Verify the accuracy of the information
contained in the Registration Statement;


 


(h) Provide any assurance that any Business
Combination entered into by the Company or any other action taken by the Company is as contemplated by the Registration Statement;


 


(i) File information returns with respect
to the Trust Account with any local, state or federal taxing authority or provide periodic written statements to the Company documenting
the taxes payable by the Company, if any, relating to any interest income earned on the Property;


 


(j) Prepare, execute and file tax reports,
income or other tax returns and pay any taxes with respect to any income generated by, and activities relating to, the Trust Account,
regardless of whether such tax is payable by the Trust Account or the Company, including, but not limited to, income tax obligations,
except pursuant to Section 1(j) hereof; or


 


(k) Verify calculations, qualify or otherwise
approve the Company’s written requests for distributions pursuant to Sections 1(i) and 1(j) hereof.


 


4. 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 2(b) or Section 2(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.


 


5. 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, pending which the Trustee shall continue to act in accordance with this Agreement. At such time that the Company notifies
the Trustee that a successor trustee has been appointed 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 and its obligations in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(i) hereof (which section
may not be amended under any circumstances) and distributed the Property in accordance with the provisions of the Termination Letter,
this Agreement shall terminate except with respect to Section 2(b).


 






    	 



    	 



    




 


6. Miscellaneous.


 


(a) The Company and the Trustee each acknowledge
that the Trustee will follow the security procedures set forth below with respect to funds transferred from the Trust Account.
The Company and the Trustee will each restrict access to confidential information relating to such security procedures to authorized

shall 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

Gentlemen:


 


Pursuant to Section 1(i) of the Investment Management
Trust Agreement between WL Ross Holding Corp. (“Company”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust
Company (“Trustee”), dated as of [●], 2014 (“Trust Agreement”), this
is to advise you that the Company has entered into an agreement with (“Target Business”) to consummate
a business combination with Target Business (“Business Combination”) on or about [insert date].
The Company shall notify you at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance of the actual date of the consummation of the Business
Combination (“Consummation Date”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings
set forth in the Trust Agreement.


 


In accordance with the terms of the Trust
Agreement, we hereby authorize you to commence to liquidate all of the assets of the Trust Account on [insert date], and
to transfer the proceeds into the trust checking account at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. to the effect that, on the Consummation
Date, all of funds held in the Trust Account will be immediately available for transfer to the account or accounts that the Company
shall direct on the Consummation Date. It is acknowledged and agreed that while the funds are on deposit in the trust checking
account at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. awaiting distribution, the Company will not earn any interest or dividends.


 


On the Consummation Date (i) counsel for
the Company shall deliver to you written notification that the Business Combination has been consummated, or will be consummated
concurrently with your transfer of funds to the accounts as directed by the Company (the “Notification”)
and (ii) the Company shall deliver to you (a) [an affidavit] [a certificate] of the Chief Executive Officer, which verifies that
the Business Combination has been approved by a vote of the Company’s stockholders, if a vote is held and (b) joint written
instruction signed by the Company and [●] with respect to the transfer of the funds held in the Trust Account, including
payment of the Deferred Discount from the Trust Account (the “Instruction Letter”). You are hereby directed
and authorized to transfer the funds held in the Trust Account immediately upon your receipt of the Notification and the Instruction
Letter, in accordance with the terms of the Instruction Letter. In the event that certain deposits held in the Trust Account may
not be liquidated by the Consummation Date without penalty, you will notify the Company in writing of the same and the Company
shall direct you as to whether such funds should remain in the Trust Account and be distributed after the Consummation Date to
the Company. Upon the distribution of all the funds, net of any payments necessary for reasonable unreimbursed expenses related
to liquidating the Trust Account, your obligations under the Trust Agreement shall be terminated.


 


In the event that the Business Combination
is not consummated on the Consummation Date described in the notice thereof and we have not notified you on or before the original
Consummation Date of a new Consummation Date, then upon receipt by the Trustee of written instructions from the Company, the funds
held in the Trust Account shall be reinvested as provided in Section 1(c) of the Trust Agreement on the business day immediately
following the Consummation Date as set forth in the notice as soon thereafter as possible.
