RECITALS:

WHEREAS, the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, No. 333-149404 (“Registration Statement”), for its initial public offering (“IPO”) of its units, each comprised of one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock, has been declared effective as of the date hereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission; 

WHEREAS, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. is acting as the representative (the “Representative”) of the underwriters in the IPO (the “Underwriters”) pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated on or about the date hereof between the Company and the Underwriters (the “Underwriting Agreement”); 

WHEREAS, as described in the Company’s Registration Statement, and in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, $247,750,000 of the net proceeds of the IPO and the proceeds of the sale to Orbit Holdings, LLC of warrants to purchase shares of common stock ($284,125,000 if the Underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) will be delivered to the Account Agent (the “Account Property”) to be deposited and held in a trust account for the benefit of the Company, the Underwriters and the holders of the Company’s securities issued and sold in the IPO as hereinafter provided (the “Public Stockholders,” and collectively with the Underwriters and the Company, the “Beneficiaries”); 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, a portion of the Account Property equal to $10,000,000 (or $11,500,000 if the Underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full or a pro rata portion thereof pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement if the Underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised in part, but not in full, prior to the time of its expiration) is attributable to deferred underwriting discounts and commissions (the “Deferred Discount”) that will become payable by the Company to the Underwriters upon the consummation of an initial business combination with a target business or target businesses as described in the Registration Statement (a “Business
Combination”), which shall be reduced pro rata pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement by the exercise by Public Stockholders of any conversion rights in connection with an Extension or a Business Combination; and 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to enter into this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Account Agent shall hold the Account Property;

The Account Agent is hereby instructed to establish a segregated trust account (Account Number                 ) (the “Trust Account”) at The Bank of New York, as Trust Account Agent. The Company shall cause the Account Property to be delivered to the Account Agent in connection with the closing of the IPO by no later than 12:00 noon eastern time and the Account Agent is hereby instructed to hold the Account Property in the Trust Account in accordance with this Agreement. The Account Agent shall acknowledge receipt of the Account Property.

Ladies and Gentlemen: 

Pursuant to the Trust Account Agreement between Orbit Acquisition Corp. (“Company”) and The Bank of New York (“Account Agent”), dated as of [__________, 200_] (“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. 

Not later than two business days prior to the Consummation Date, 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”), which shall include instructions for the distribution of funds to Public Stockholders who exercised their conversion option in connection with a Business Combination and for the distribution of the Deferred Discount to the Representative on behalf of the Underwriters. 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 (a) on or before the Consummation Date, we have notified you that the Business Combination has not been or will not be 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. In the event that (a) on or before the Consummation Date, we have notified you that the Business Combination has not been or will not be consummated on the Consummation Date described in the notice thereof and (b) we have notified you on or before the original Consummation Date of a new Consummation Date, then you shall continue to liquidate the Trust Account to the effect that, on
the new Consummation Date, all of the funds held in the Trust Account will be immediately available for transfer to the account or accounts that the Company shall direct on the new Consummation Date.

referred to as the “Termination Date”), Orbit Holdings, LLC shall make available to the Company, at 623 Fifth Avenue, 19th Floor, New York, New York 10022 (or any successor location of Orbit Holdings, LLC), office space, secretarial and administrative services as may be required by the Company from time to time. In exchange therefor, the Company shall pay Orbit Holdings, LLC the sum of $10,000 per month, commencing on the Listing Date and continuing monthly thereafter until the Termination Date.
