    Ladies
      and Gentlemen:

    


    The
      undersigned officer of Global Alternative Asset Management, Inc. (“Company”), in
      consideration of EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EBC”) entering into a letter of intent
      (“Letter of Intent”) to underwrite an initial public offering of the securities
      of the Company (“IPO”) and embarking on the IPO process, hereby agrees as
      follows (certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 14
      hereof):

    


    1.  If
      the
      Company solicits approval of its stockholders of a Business Combination, the
      undersigned will vote all Insider Shares beneficially owned by him in accordance
      with the majority of the shares of common stock voted by the public
      stockholders. 

     

    2.  In
      the
      event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24
      months from the effective date (“Effective Date”) of the registration statement
      relating to the IPO, the undersigned will (i) cause the trust account
      established by the Company for the benefit of the public securityholders (the
      “Trust Account”) to be liquidated and distributed to the holders of IPO Shares
      and (ii) take all reasonable actions within his power to cause the Company
      to
      liquidate as soon as reasonably practicable. The undersigned hereby waives
      any
      and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distribution
      of
      the Trust Fund and any remaining net assets of the Company as a result of such
      liquidation with respect to his Insider Shares (“Claim”) and hereby waives any
      Claim the undersigned may have in the future as a result of, or arising out
      of,
      any contracts or agreements with the Company and will not seek recourse against
      the Trust Fund for any reason whatsoever. 

     

    3.  In
      order
      to minimize potential conflicts of interest which may arise from multiple
      affiliations, the undersigned 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 ceases to be an officer or
      director of the Company, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary and contractual
      obligations the undersigned might have.

     

    4.  The
      undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not consummate any
      Business Combination which involves a company which is affiliated with any
      of
      the Insiders unless the Company obtains an opinion from an independent
      investment banking firm reasonably acceptable to EBC that the business
      combination is fair to the Company’s stockholders from a financial
      perspective.

      (“Affiliate”) of the undersigned will be entitled to receive and will not accept
      any compensation for services rendered to the Company prior to or in connection
      with the consummation of the Business Combination; provided that the undersigned
      shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for his out-of-pocket
      expenses incurred in connection with seeking and consummating a Business
      Combination

     

    6.  Neither

      Combination.

    10.  The
      undersigned hereby agrees to not propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment
      to
      the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to extend the period of time in which
      the Company must consummate a Business Combination prior to its liquidation.
      Should such a proposal be put before stockholders other than through actions
      by
      the undersigned, the undersigned hereby agrees to vote against such proposal.
      This paragraph may not be modified or amended under any
      circumstances.

     

    11.  In
      the
      event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination and must
      liquidate and its remaining net assets are insufficient to complete such
      liquidation, the undersigned agrees to advance such funds necessary to complete
      such liquidation and agrees not to seek repayment for such
      expenses.

     

    12.  The
      undersigned authorizes any employer, financial institution, or consumer credit
      reporting agency to release to EBC and its legal representatives or agents
      (including any investigative search firm retained by EBC) any information they
      may have about the undersigned’s background and finances (“Information”).
      Neither EBC nor its agents shall be violating the undersigned’s right of privacy
      in any manner in requesting and obtaining the Information and the undersigned
      hereby releases EBC and its agents from liability for any damage whatsoever
      in
      that connection.

     

    13.  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, (ii) waives any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction
      and
      that such courts represent an inconvenient forum and (iii) irrevocably agrees
      to
      appoint Graubard Miller as agent for the service of process in the State of
      New
      York to receive, for the undersigned and on his behalf, service of process
      in
      any Proceeding. If for any reason such agent is unable to act as such, the
      undersigned will promptly notify the Company and EBC and appoint a substitute
      agent acceptable to each of the Company and EBC 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.
