disbursements made pursuant to Section 4(g) hereof, shall not be used to make any payments to the Account Agent under this paragraph);

 (a) The Account Agent shall not be liable or responsible hereunder to anyone for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith, except for its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction).

Agent shall be obligated to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement. No implied covenants or obligations shall be inferred from this Agreement against the Account Agent, nor shall the Account Agent be bound by the

Account Agent or one of its affiliates), 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 Account Agent, in good faith, to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Account Agent 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 Account Agent signed on behalf of the Company by its Chief Executive Officer, President or Chief Financial Officer.

without the Company’s consent in accordance with such a proposal on or after the date specified therein; provided, that the specified date shall be at least five (5) business days after the Company receives the Account Agent’s
request for instructions and its proposed course of action; and provided, further, that, prior to so acting, the Account Agent has not received from the Company the written instructions so requested and the Account Agent’s actions
are not inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
 (e) In the event of ambiguity in the provisions governing the
Account Property or uncertainty on the part of the Account Agent as to how to proceed, such that the Account Agent, in its sole and absolute judgment, deems it necessary for its protection so to do, the Account Agent may refrain from taking any
action other than: (i) to retain custody of the Account Property deposited hereunder until it shall have received written instructions, which in the judgment of the Account Agent clarify the ambiguity, or (ii) to deposit the Account
Property with a court of competent jurisdiction and thereupon to have no further duties or responsibilities in connection therewith.

action.

under this Agreement arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or
natural catastrophes or acts of God, and widespread interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software or hardware) services.

delivery hereof (except the due execution hereof by the Account Agent); nor shall it be liable or responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement (including without
limitation the Company’s failure to provide the Account Agent with any written instructions or notices required to be provided by the Company to the Account Agent under this Agreement) or for determining the applicability of or whether the
Company has complied with any federal or state “blue sky” or securities laws or any other applicable laws, all of which shall be the Company’s responsibility. 
 (j) The Company will from time to time perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be delivered, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such
further and other acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Account Agent for the carrying out or performing by the Account Agent of the provisions of this Agreement. 
 (k) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Account Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of its rights hereunder. 
 Section 8. Resignation of Account Agent.

 (a) The Account Agent may resign by giving written notice to the Company. Such resignation shall take effect upon delivery of the Account
Property, and all documentation relating thereto in possession of the Account Agent or its affiliates, to a successor Account Agent designated in writing by the Company, and the Account Agent shall thereupon be discharged from all obligations under
this Agreement, and shall have no further duties or responsibilities in connection herewith. 
 (b) In the event the Account Agent fails to
perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Company may remove the Account Agent upon written notice to the Account Agent. Such removal shall take effect upon delivery of the Account Property, and all documentation relating thereto in
possession of the Account Agent or its affiliates, to a successor Account Agent designated in writing by the Company, and the Account Agent shall thereupon be discharged from all obligations under this Agreement, and shall have no further duties or
responsibilities in connection herewith. The Account Agent shall deliver the Account Property, and all documentation relating thereto in possession of the Account Agent or its affiliates, without unreasonable delay after receiving the Company’s
designation of a successor Account Agent. 
 (c) If after 30 days from the date of delivery of its written notice of intent to resign or of
the Company’s notice of removal the Account Agent has not received a written designation of a successor Account Agent, the Account Agent’s sole responsibility shall be in its sole discretion either to retain custody of the Account Property
without any obligation to invest or reinvest any such Account Property until it receives such designation, or to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor Account Agent and after such appointment to have no further
duties or responsibilities in connection herewith. 
 (d) The Company shall, at its own expense, promptly notify each of the Public
Stockholders of the resignation or removal of the Account Agent and of the designation of a successor Account Agent. 
 Section 9.
Termination of Agreement. 
 (a) This Agreement shall terminate at such time that the Account Agent has completed the liquidation of
the Trust Account in accordance with this Agreement, and distributed the Account Property in accordance with the provisions of the Termination Letter. 
 (b) Sections 5(b), 5(c) and 5(d), Section 6(a) and Sections 7(a), 7(f), 7(g), 7(i) and 7(k) shall survive the termination of this Agreement or any resignation or removal of the Account Agent.

 Section 10. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) The Company and the Account Agent each acknowledge that the Account Agent will follow the security procedures set forth below with respect to funds
transferred from the Trust Account. Upon receipt of written instructions, the Account Agent will confirm such instructions with an Authorized Individual at an Authorized Telephone Number listed on the attached Exhibit D. The Company and the
Account Agent 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 Account Agent will rely upon account numbers or other identifying numbers of a recipient, recipient’s bank or intermediary bank, rather
than names. 
 (b) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to
contracts formed and to be performed entirely within the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of law provisions thereof to the extent such provisions would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. 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, waived, amended or modified by a writing signed by each of
the parties hereto; provided, that this Agreement may not be materially changed, waived, amended or modified without the consent of each of the Public Stockholders adversely affected thereby; provided, further, that this Agreement may
not be amended in such a manner as to adversely affect the right of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. to receive the Deferred Discount without the written consent of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. As to any claim, cross-claim or counterclaim in any way
relating to this Agreement, each party waives the right to trial by jury. For purposes of this Agreement, the Account Agent may rely on a list of Public Stockholders provided to it by the Company from time to time as to the identities of the Public
Stockholders. 
 (d) The parties hereto consent to the exclusive 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 by overnight delivery or similar private courier service, by first-class, certified mail (return receipt requested) postage prepaid, by hand delivery or by electronic or
facsimile transmission:

 Gentlemen: 
 Pursuant to Section 3 of the
Trust Account Agreement between Sapphire Industrials Corp. (“Company”) and Mellon Bank, N.A. (“Account Agent”), dated as of January 17, 2008 (“Trust Account Agreement”), this is to advise you
that the Company has entered into an agreement (“Business Agreement”) with
                             (“Target Business”) to consummate a business
combination with the Target Business (“Business Combination”) on or about [insert date]. The Company shall notify you at least two business days in advance of the actual date of the consummation of the Business Combination
(“Consummation Date”). Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have their respective meanings set forth in the Trust Account Agreement. 
 In accordance with the terms of the Trust Account Agreement, we hereby authorize you to commence liquidation of the Trust Account 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. 
 On the
Consummation Date, (i) the Company shall deliver to you written notification that the Business Combination has been consummated, (ii) the Company shall deliver to you written instructions with respect to the transfer of the funds held in
the Trust Account, including such instructions as may be necessary to ensure compliance with any applicable law relating to the treatment of the proceeds of the IPO, including without limitation any law which requires notice to any governmental
entity with respect to the release of the Account Property from the Trust Account (“Instruction Letter”), and (iii) Citigroup Global Markets Inc. shall deliver to you written instructions for delivery of the Deferred Discount.
The Instruction Letter shall include instructions for the distribution of funds to any Public Stockholders (as defined in the Trust Account Agreement) who exercised their conversion option in connection with a Business Combination. You are hereby
directed and authorized to transfer the funds held in the Trust Account on the Consummation Date upon your receipt of the Instruction Letter, in accordance with the terms of the Instruction Letter. In the event that certain deposits or investments
held in the Trust Account may not be liquidated by the Consummation Date without penalty, you will notify the Company 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 in the Trust Account pursuant to the terms hereof, the Trust Account Agreement shall be terminated and the Trust Account closed. 
 In the event that the Business Combination is not consummated on the Consummation Date described in the notice thereof and (b) we have not notified
you on or before the original Consummation Date of a new Consummation Date, then the funds held in the Trust Account shall be reinvested as provided in the Trust Account Agreement on the business day immediately following the Consummation Date as
set forth in the notice.
