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

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

letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for a Business Combination has been executed on or prior to the First Date but the Business Combination has not been consummated by the First Date, the Trust Account shall be
liquidated as part of the Company’s plan of dissolution and distribution approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Termination Letter attached as Exhibit B hereto to the stockholders of
record on the record date established by the Company for such purpose. The Company shall set the record date to be within ten days of the Last Date, or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable and legally permissible. In all cases, the Trustee

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 

  

 2

certificate of a firm regularly engaged in the business of tabulating stockholder votes (which firm may be the Trustee) verifying the vote of the Company’s stockholders regarding such dissolution and liquidation. 
  
 3. Limitations of Liability. The Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability to:

  
 (a) Take any action with respect to the Property, other than
as directed in paragraph 1 hereof and the Trustee shall have no liability to any party except for liability arising out of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct; 
  
 (b) 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; 
  
 (c) Change the investment of
any Property, other than in compliance with paragraph 1(c); 
  
 (d) Refund any depreciation in principal of any Property;

 (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, except for its gross negligence 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. 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; 
  

 3 

 (g) Verify the correctness of the information set forth in the Registration Statement or to confirm or
assure that any acquisition made by the Company or any other action taken by it is as contemplated by the Registration Statement; and 
  
 (h) 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). 
  
 4. 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. 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 days of
receipt of the resignation notice from the Trustee, the Trustee may submit an application to have the Property deposited 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 paragraphs 1(i) and 2(f) hereof, and distributed the Property in accordance with the provisions of the Termination Letter, this Agreement shall terminate
except with respect to Paragraph 2(b). 
  
 5. 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. Upon receipt of written instructions, the Trustee will confirm such instructions with an Authorized Individual at an Authorized Telephone Number listed
on the attached Exhibit C. The Company and the Trustee will each restrict access to confidential information relating to such security procedures 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 account numbers or other identifying numbers of a beneficiary,
beneficiary’s bank or intermediary bank, rather than names. The Trustee shall not be liable for any loss, liability or expense resulting from any error in an account number or other identifying number, provided it has accurately transmitted the
numbers provided. 
  

 4 

 (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 conflict of laws. It may be executed in several counterparts, each one of which shall constitute an original, and together shall constitute but one instrument. 
  
 (c) This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. 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 Brenner. As to any claim, cross-claim or counterclaim in any way relating to this Agreement, each party waives the right to trial by jury. 
  
 (d) The parties hereto consent to the jurisdiction and venue of any state or
federal court located in the City of New York for purposes of resolving any disputes hereunder. 
  
 (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
