WARRANT AGREEMENT    

        This Warrant Agreement (this "Warrant Agreement") is made as of
[    •    ], 2008 by and between Wattles Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, as Warrant Agent (the "Warrant
Agent"). 

        WHEREAS,
the Company has filed a registration statement (File No. [    •    ]) (the "Registration
Statement") with the Securities Exchange Commission for the initial public offering of units (the "Initial Public Offering"),
each unit ("Unit") consisting of one share of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Common
Stock"), and one warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. 

        WHEREAS,
the Company has agreed to issue (i) in a private placement to occur immediately prior to the consummation of the Company's Initial Public Offering, 5,750,000 warrants to
the Company's sponsor, Wattles Capital, LLC (the "Sponsor"), with each such warrant representing the right of the holder thereof to purchase one share
of Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share (the "Insider Warrants") and (ii) in connection with the Initial Public Offering of the
Units, up to 23,000,000 warrants to public investors with each such warrant representing the right of the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock (the "Public
Warrants" and together with the Insider Warrants, the "Warrants"). The shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of the
Warrants are referred to as the "Warrant Shares"). 

        WHEREAS,
the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing to so act, in connection with the issuance, transfer, exchange and
exercise of Warrants and other matters as provided herein; 

        NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

        SECTION
1.    Appointment of Warrant Agent.    The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the
Company in accordance with the instructions set forth hereinafter in this Warrant Agreement, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment. 

        SECTION
2.    Warrant Certificates.    The certificates evidencing the Warrants (the "Warrant
Certificates") to be delivered pursuant to this Warrant Agreement shall be in registered form only and shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A attached
hereto and the warrant certificates for the Insider Warrants shall bear the legend set forth in Exhibit B except as set forth herein. 

        SECTION
3.    Execution of Warrant Certificates.    Warrant Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the Company by
its Chairman of the Board or its President or Chief Executive Officer or a Vice President and by its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary. Each such signature upon the Warrant Certificates may be in
the form of a facsimile signature of the present or any future Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Executive Officer, Vice President, Secretary or Assistant Secretary and may be imprinted or
otherwise reproduced on the Warrant Certificates and for that purpose the Company may adopt and use the facsimile signature of any person who shall have been Chairman of the Board, President, Chief
Executive Officer, Vice President, Secretary or Assistant Secretary, notwithstanding the fact that at the time the Warrant Certificates shall be countersigned and delivered or disposed of he or she
shall have ceased to hold such office. 

        In
case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Warrant Certificates shall cease to be such officer before the Warrant Certificates so signed shall have been
countersigned by the Warrant Agent, or disposed of by the Company, such Warrant Certificates nevertheless may be countersigned and delivered or disposed of as though such person had not ceased to be
such officer of the Company; and any Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of such Warrant Certificate, shall be a proper
officer of the Company to sign such Warrant Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Warrant Agreement any such person was not such officer. 

        Warrant
Certificates shall be dated the date of countersignature by the Warrant Agent. 

 

        SECTION
4.    Registration and Countersignature.    Warrant Certificates shall be countersigned by the Warrant Agent
and shall not be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned. The Warrant Agent shall, upon written instructions of the Chairman of the Board, the President or Chief Executive Officer, a Vice
President, the Treasurer or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, countersign, issue and deliver Warrants as provided in this Warrant Agreement. 

        The
Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered holder(s) of the Warrant Certificates as the absolute owner(s) thereof (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or
other writing thereon made by anyone), for all purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 

        SECTION
5.    Registration of Transfers and Exchanges; Transfer Restrictions.    The Warrant Agent shall from time to
time, subject to the limitations of this Section 5, register the transfer of any outstanding Warrant Certificates upon the records to be maintained by it for that purpose, upon surrender
thereof duly endorsed or accompanied (if so required by the Warrant Agent) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, duly executed by the registered
holder or holders thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney. Upon any such registration of transfer, a new Warrant Certificate shall be issued to
the transferee(s) and the surrendered Warrant Certificate shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. Cancelled Warrant Certificates shall thereafter be disposed of by the Warrant Agent in its customary
manner. 

        Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Warrant Agent shall not register for transfer any Insider Warrants until one year after the consummation of an Initial Business
Combination, except for (a) transfers of Insider Warrants resulting from the death of the holder thereof, (b) transfers by operation of law, (c) any transfer for estate planning
purposes to persons immediately related to the transferor by blood, marriage or adoption, or (d) transfers to any trust solely for the benefit of such transferor and/or the persons described in
the preceding clause, on condition that prior to such registration for transfer, the Warrant Agent shall be presented with written documentation pursuant to which each permitted transferee
("Permitted Transferee") or the trustee or legal guardian for each Permitted Transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of the escrow agreement to be
entered into by the Company and the Sponsor (the "Escrow Agreement") and the letter agreement to the representatives of the underwriters of the Initial
Public Offering and the Company, executed by the Sponsor and filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (the "Insider Letter"). The certificates
evidencing the Insider Warrants shall bear the legend set forth on Exhibit B hereto. 

        The
holders of any Insider Warrants or Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of any Insider Warrants further agree prior to any transfer of such securities, to give written notice to the
Company expressing its desire to effect such transfer and describing briefly the proposed transfer. Upon receiving such notice, the Company shall present copies thereof to its counsel and the holder
agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of such securities unless and until: 

        (a)   there
is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such
registration statement, in which case the legends set forth in Exhibit B or Section 6(c) hereof, as the case may be (collectively the
"Legends") with respect to such securities sold pursuant to such registration statement shall be removed; or 

        (b)   if
reasonably requested by the Company, (i) the holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that
such disposition will not require registration of such Securities under the Securities Act, (ii) the Company shall have received customary representations and warranties regarding the
transferee that are reasonably satisfactory to the Company signed by the proposed transferee and (iii) the Company shall have received an agreement by such transferee to the restrictions
contained in the Legends. 

2

 

        Each
Public Warrant shall initially be issued together with one share of Common Stock as a Unit. The shares of Common Stock and Public Warrants comprising a Unit shall not be separately
transferable before the later of 10 Business Days following the earlier to occur of: (a) the expiration of the underwriters' over-allotment option included in the underwriting
agreement with respect to the publicly offered Units, (b) the exercise of such option in full or (c) the announcement by the underwriters of their intention not to exercise all or any
remaining portion of the over-allotment option, subject to (i) the preparation of an audited balance sheet reflecting the Company's receipt of the gross proceeds of the offering of
the Units and the filing by the Company of such audited balance sheet with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a Current Report on Form 8-K or similar form and (ii) the
Company issuing a press release announcing when such separate trading will begin (the later of such dates, the "Detachment Date"). Prior to the
Detachment Date, Public Warrants may be transferred or exchanged only together with the Unit in which such Public Warrant is included, and only for the purpose of effecting, or in conjunction with, a
transfer or exchange of such Unit. Furthermore, prior to the Detachment Date, each transfer of a Public Unit on the register relating to such Units shall operate also to transfer the Public Warrant
included in such Unit. 

        Subject
to the terms of this Warrant Agreement, Warrant Certificates may be exchanged at the option of the holder(s) thereof, when surrendered to the Warrant Agent at its principal
corporate trust office, which is currently located at the address listed in Section 17 hereof, for another Warrant Certificate or other Warrant Certificates of like tenor and representing in
the aggregate a like number of Warrants. Any holder desiring to exchange a Warrant Certificate shall deliver a written request to the Warrant Agent, and shall surrender, duly endorsed or accompanied
(if so required by the Warrant Agent) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, the Warrant Certificate or Certificates to be so exchanged. Warrant
Certificates surrendered for exchange shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. Such cancelled Warrant Certificates shall then be disposed of by such Warrant Agent in its customary manner. 

        The
Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5 and of Section 4 hereof, the new Warrant Certificates required
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5. 

        SECTION
6.    Terms of Warrants.    

        (a)    Exercise Price and Exercise Period.    

        The
initial exercise price per share that Warrant Shares shall be purchasable upon the exercise of Warrants (the "Exercise Price") shall
be $7.50 per share, and each Warrant shall be initially exercisable to purchase one share of Common Stock. 

        Subject
to the terms of this Warrant Agreement (including without limitation Section 6(d) below), each Warrant holder shall have the right, which may be exercised commencing at
the opening of business on the first day of the applicable Warrant Exercise Period set forth below and until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last day of such Warrant Exercise Period, to
receive from the Company the number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares which the holder may at the time be entitled to receive on exercise of such Warrants and payment of the Exercise
Price then in effect for such Warrant Shares. No adjustments as to dividends will be made upon exercise of the Warrants. 

        The
"Warrant Exercise Period" shall commence (subject to Section 6(d) below) on the later of: (i) the date that is
12 months from the date of the final prospectus for the Initial Public Offering and (ii) the date on which the Company completes its initial business combination, as that term is
described in the Registration Statement (the "Initial Business Combination"), and shall end on the earlier of: (i) the date that is four years
from the date of the Company's final prospectus for the Initial Public Offering and (ii) the Business Day (as defined in Section 11) preceding the date on which such Warrants are
redeemed pursuant to Section 6(b) below or expire pursuant to Section 6(c) below. Each 

3

 

Warrant
not exercised prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last day of the Warrant Exercise Period shall become void and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under
this Warrant Agreement shall cease as of such time. 

        (b)    Redemption of Warrants    

        The
Company may call the Warrants for redemption, in whole and not in part, at a price of $.01 per Warrant, upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice of redemption to each
Warrant holder, at any time after such Warrants have become exercisable pursuant to Section 6(a), if, and only if, (a) the Closing Price has equaled or exceeded $14.25 per share for any
20 trading days within a 30-trading-day period ending on the third Business Day (as defined in Section 11) prior to the notice of redemption to Warrant holders and
(b) at all times between the date of such notice of redemption and the redemption date a registration statement is in effect covering the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
and a current prospectus relating to those Warrant Shares is available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Insider Warrants shall be redeemable at the option of the Company so long as they are held by
the Sponsor or its Permitted Transferees, provided that the fact that one or more Insider Warrants are non redeemable because of the reason
described above shall not affect the Company's right to redeem the Public Warrants and the Insider Warrants that are not held by the Sponsor or its Permitted Transferees. 

        (c)    Exercise Procedure.    

        A
Warrant may be exercised upon surrender to the Company at the principal stock transfer office of the Warrant Agent, which is currently located at the address listed in
Section 17 hereof, of the certificate or certificates evidencing the Warrants to be exercised with the form of election to purchase on the reverse thereof duly filled in and signed and such
other documentation as the Warrant Agent may reasonably request, and upon payment to the Warrant Agent for the account of the Company of the Exercise Price (adjusted as herein provided if applicable)
for the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which such Warrants are then exercised. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be made: 

          (i)  in
cash or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company in New York Clearing House Funds, or the equivalent thereof; or 

         (ii)  with
respect to any Insider Warrants held by the Sponsor or its Permitted Transferees and exercised after the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, by
surrendering such Insider Warrants for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such
Insider Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the Exercise Price of the Insider Warrants and the "Fair Market Value" (as defined below) by (y) the Fair Market Value; provided, however,
that the Fair Market Value is greater than the Exercise Price of the Insider Warrants. Solely for the purpose for this Section 6(c)(ii), the "Fair Market
Value" shall mean the average last reported sale price for the regular trading session of the Common Stock on the principal securities exchange or market on which the shares of
Common Stock are then listed for the five trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date on which the Insider Warrants are exercised. 

        In
no event will any Warrants be settled on a net cash basis. 

        Subject
to the provisions of Section 7 hereof, upon such surrender of Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price, the Company shall issue and cause to be delivered with all
reasonable dispatch to and in such name or names as the Warrant holder may designate, a certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Warrants
together with cash as provided in Section 12 hereof. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to
have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the date of the surrender of such Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price. 

4

 

        The
Warrants shall be exercisable, at the election of the holders thereof, either in full or from time to time in part and, in the event that a certificate evidencing Warrants is
exercised in respect of fewer than all of the Warrant Shares issuable on such exercise at any time prior to the date of expiration of the Warrants, a new certificate evidencing the remaining Warrant
or Warrants will be issued, and the Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to countersign and to deliver the required new Warrant Certificate or Certificates pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 6 and of Section 4 hereof, and the Company, whenever required by the Warrant Agent, shall supply the Warrant Agent with Warrant Certificates duly executed on behalf of the
Company for such purpose. The Warrant Agent may assume that any Warrant presented for exercise is permitted to be so exercised under applicable law and shall have no liability for acting in reliance
on such assumption. 

        All
Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise of Warrants shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. Such cancelled Warrant Certificates shall then be disposed of by the Warrant Agent
in its customary manner. The Warrant Agent shall account promptly to the Company with respect to Warrants exercised and concurrently pay to the Company all monies received by the Warrant Agent for the
purchase of the Warrant Shares through the exercise of such Warrants. 

        The
Warrant Agent shall keep copies of this Warrant Agreement and any notices given or received hereunder available for inspection by the holders with reasonable prior written notice
during normal business hours at its office. The Company shall supply the Warrant Agent from time to time with such numbers of copies of this Warrant Agreement as the Warrant Agent may request. 

        Certificates
evidencing Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of a Insider Warrant shall contain the following legend: 

        THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR
OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE. 

        SECURITIES
EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WILL BE ENTITLED TO REGISTRATION RIGHTS UNDER A REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT TO BE EXECUTED BY THE COMPANY. 

        (d)    Registration Requirement.    Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 6, no Warrants (including any
Insider Warrants) may be exercised unless at the time of exercise (i) a registration statement covering the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise (other than Warrant Shares to be issued
upon exercise of any Insider Warrant) is effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and (ii) a prospectus thereunder
relating to the Warrant Shares (other than Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise of any Insider Warrant) is current. The Company shall use its best efforts to have a registration statement in
effect covering Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (other than Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise of any Insider Warrant) from the date the Warrants become exercisable and to
maintain a current prospectus relating to those Warrant Shares until the Warrants expire or are redeemed. In the event that, at the end of the Warrant Exercise Period, a registration statement
covering the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise (other than Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise of any Insider Warrant) is not effective under the Act, all the rights of holders hereunder
shall terminate and all of the Warrants shall expire unexercised and worthless, and as a result purchasers of the Units will have paid the full Unit price solely for the share of Common Stock included
in each Unit. In no event shall the Warrants be settled on a net cash basis nor shall the Company be required to issue unregistered shares upon the exercise of any Warrant that is not a Insider
Warrant. 

5

 

        (e)    Expiry Upon Liquidation of Trust Account.    If the Company is dissolved because it fails to effect an Initial
Business Combination, all of the rights of holders hereunder shall terminate and all of the Warrants shall expire unexercised and worthless and as a result purchasers of the Units will have paid the
full Unit purchase price solely for the share of Common Stock included in each Unit. 

        SECTION
7.    Payment of Taxes.    The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial
issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in
the issue of any Warrant Certificates or any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder of a Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the exercise of a Warrant, and
the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such Warrant Certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such
tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. 

        SECTION
8.    Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates.    In case any of the Warrant Certificates shall be
mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue and the Warrant Agent shall countersign, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant Certificate, or
in lieu
of and substitution for the Warrant Certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent number of Warrants, but only upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent of such loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant Certificate and indemnity, also satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent. Applicants for
such new Warrant Certificates must pay such reasonable charges as the Company may prescribe. 

        SECTION
9.    Reservation of Warrant Shares.    The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, free from
preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or its authorized and issued Common Stock held in its treasury, for the purpose of enabling it to satisfy any
obligation to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of Warrants, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may then be deliverable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants. The Warrant
Agent shall have no duty to verify availability of such shares set aside by the Company. 

6

   
        The Company or, if appointed, the transfer agent for the Common Stock (the "Transfer Agent") and every subsequent transfer agent for any
shares of the Company's Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of any of the Warrants will be irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to reserve such number of authorized shares as shall be
required for such purpose. The Company will keep a copy of this Warrant Agreement on file with the Transfer Agent and with every subsequent transfer agent for any shares of the Company's Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants. The Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to requisition from time to time from such Transfer Agent the stock certificates required to honor
outstanding Warrants upon exercise thereof in accordance with the terms of this Warrant Agreement. The Company will supply such Transfer Agent with duly executed certificates for such purposes and
will provide or otherwise make available any cash which may be payable as provided in Section 12 hereof. The Company will furnish such Transfer Agent a copy of all notices of adjustments and
certificates related thereto, transmitted to each holder pursuant to Section 13 hereof. 

        Before
taking any action which would cause an adjustment pursuant to Section 11 hereof to reduce the Exercise Price below the then par value (if any) of the Warrant Shares, the
Company will take any commercially reasonable corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel (which may be counsel employed by the Company), be necessary in order that the Company may
validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares at the Exercise Price as so adjusted. 

        The
Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon exercise of Warrants will, upon payment of the Exercise Price therefor and issue, be fully paid, nonassessable,
free of preemptive rights and free from all taxes, liens, charges and security interests with respect to the issue thereof. 

        SECTION
10.    Obtaining Stock Exchange Listings; State Registration.    The Company will from time to time take all
commercially reasonable actions which may be necessary so that the Warrant Shares, immediately upon their issuance upon the exercise of Warrants, will be listed on the principal securities exchanges
and markets within the United States of America, if any, on which other shares of Common Stock are then listed. To the extent that the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange or
there is no exemption from state "blue sky" securities laws for the issuance of the Warrant Shares, the Company will take all commercially reasonable actions which may be necessary so that the Warrant
Shares are registered in all states in which the holders of the Warrants reside. 

        SECTION
11.    Adjustment of Number of Warrant Shares.    

        The
number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of the events enumerated in this Section 11.
For purposes of this Section 11, "Common Stock" means shares now or hereafter authorized of any class of common stock of the Company and any
other stock of the Company, however designated, that has the right (subject to any prior rights of any class or series of preferred stock) to participate in any distribution of the assets or earnings
of the Company without limit as to per share amount. 

        (a)    Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock.    

        If
the Company: 

          (i)  pays
a dividend or makes a distribution on its Common Stock in either case in shares of its Common Stock; 

         (ii)  subdivides
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares; 

        (iii)  combines
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; 

        (iv)  makes
a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its capital stock other than Common Stock; or 

7

 

         (v)  issues
by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of its capital stock, then the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant
immediately prior to such action shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised shall receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of capital stock of the
Company which he would have owned immediately following such action if such Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such action. The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the
record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. Such adjustment shall be made successively
whenever any event listed above shall occur. 

        (b)    Adjustment for Rights Issue.    

        If
the Company distributes any rights, options or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Closing
Price per share on the Business Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such distribution of rights, options or warrants, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula:

	 	N'	 	=	 	N	 	×	 	O+A
 O+(A × P/M)

where:

	 	N'	 	=	 	the adjusted number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant.
	

 	

N	
 	

=	
 	

the current number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant.
	

 	

O	
 	

=	
 	

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date for such distribution.
	

 	

A	
 	

=	
 	

the number of additional shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights or warrants.
	

 	

P	
 	

=	
 	

the purchase price per share of the additional shares.
	

 	

M	
 	

=	
 	

the Closing Price per share of Common Stock on the record date.

        The
adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive the rights, options or warrants. If at the end of the period during which such rights, options or warrants are exercisable, not all rights, options or warrants shall
have been exercised, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant shall be immediately readjusted to what it would have been if "N" in the above formula had been the
number of shares actually issued. 

        (c)    Adjustment for Other Distributions.    

        If
the Company distributes to all holders of its Common Stock any of its assets (including cash) or debt securities or any rights, options or warrants to purchase debt securities, assets
or other securities 

8

 

of
the Company (other than Common Stock), the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted in accordance with the
formula:

	 	N'	 	=	 	N	 	×	 	M
 M - F

where:

	 	N'	 	=	 	the adjusted number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant.
	

 	

N	
 	

=	
 	

the current number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant.
	

 	

M	
 	

=	
 	

the Closing Price per share of Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such distribution.
	

 	

F	
 	

=	
 	

the fair market value on the ex-dividend date for such distribution of the assets, securities, rights or warrants distributable to one share of Common Stock after taking into account, in the case of any rights, options or warrants, the consideration
required to be paid upon exercise thereof. The Board of Directors of the Company shall reasonably determine the fair market value in good faith.

        The
adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such distribution. 

        This
subsection (c) does not apply to regular quarterly cash dividends including increases thereof or rights, options or warrants referred to in subsection (b) of this
Section 11. If any adjustment is made pursuant to this subsection (c) as a result of the issuance of rights, options or warrants and at the end of the period during which any such
rights, options or warrants are exercisable, not all such rights, options or warrants shall have been exercised, the Warrant shall be immediately readjusted as if "F" in the above formula was the fair
market value on the ex-dividend date for such distribution of the indebtedness or assets actually distributed upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants divided by the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding on the ex-dividend date for such distribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection (c), if "M-F" in the
above formula is less than $1.00, the Company may elect to, and if "M-F" or is a negative number, the Company shall, in lieu of the adjustment otherwise required by this subsection (c),
distribute to the holders of the Warrants, upon exercise thereof, the evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights, options or warrants (or
the proceeds thereof) which would have been distributed to such holders had such Warrants been exercised immediately prior to the record date for such distribution. 

        (d)    Adjustment for Common Stock Issue.    

        If
the Company issues shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Closing Price per share on the date the Company fixes the offering price of such additional
shares, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula:

	 	N'	 	=	 	N	 	×	 	A
 O + P/M

9

 

where:

	 	N'	 	=	 	the adjusted number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant.
	

 	

N	
 	

=	
 	

the current number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant.
	

 	

O	
 	

=	
 	

the number of shares outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such additional shares.
	

 	

P	
 	

=	
 	

the aggregate consideration received for the issuance of such additional shares.
	

 	

M	
 	

=	
 	

the Closing Price per share on the date of issuance of such additional shares.
	

 	

A	
 	

=	
 	

the number of shares outstanding immediately after the issuance of such additional shares.

        The
adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such issuance is made, and shall become effective immediately after such issuance. 

        This
subsection (d) does not apply to: 

          (i)  any
of the transactions described in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 11, 

         (ii)  the
exercise of Warrants, or the conversion or exchange of other securities convertible or exchangeable for Common Stock, or the issuance of Common Stock upon the
exercise of rights or warrants issued to the holders of Common Stock, 

        (iii)  Common
Stock (and options exercisable therefor) issued to the Company's employees, officers, directors, consultants or advisors (whether or not still in such capacity
on the date of exercise) under bona fide employee benefit plans or stock option plans adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company and approved by the holders of Common Stock when required by law,
if such Common Stock would otherwise be covered by this subsection (d), 

        (iv)  Common
Stock issued in a bona fide public offering for cash, 

         (v)  Common
Stock issued in a bona fide private placement to non-affiliates of the Company, including without limitation the issuance of equity as consideration
or partial consideration for acquisitions from persons that are not affiliates of the Company. 

        (e)    Adjustment for Convertible Securities Issue.    

        If
the Company issues any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (other than securities issued in transactions described in subsections (b) and (c) of
this Section 11) for a consideration per share of Common Stock initially deliverable upon conversion or exchange of such securities less than the Closing Price per share on the date of issuance
of such securities, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted in accordance with this
formula:

	 	N'	 	=	 	N	 	×	 	O+D
 O+P × P/M

10

 

where:

	 	N'	 	=	 	the adjusted number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant.
	

 	

N	
 	

=	
 	

the current number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant.
	

 	

O	
 	

=	
 	

the number of shares outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such securities.
	

 	

P	
 	

=	
 	

the aggregate consideration received for the issuance of such securities.
	

 	

M	
 	

=	
 	

the Closing Price per share on the date of issuance of such securities.
	

 	

D	
 	

=	
 	

the maximum number of shares deliverable upon conversion or in exchange for such securities at the initial conversion or exchange rate.

        The
adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such issuance is made, and shall become effective immediately after such issuance. 

        If
all of the Common Stock deliverable upon conversion or exchange of such securities have not been issued when such securities are no longer outstanding, then the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant shall promptly be readjusted to what it would have been had the adjustment upon the issuance of such securities been made on the basis of the actual
number of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion or exchange of such securities. 

        This
subsection (e) does not apply to: 

          (i)  convertible
securities issued in a bona fide public offering for cash; or 

         (ii)  convertible
securities issued in a bona fide private placement to non-affiliates of the Company, including the issuance of convertible securities as
consideration or partial consideration for acquisitions from persons that are not affiliates of the Company. 

        (f)    Adjustment for Tender or Exchange Offer.    

        If
the Company or any of its subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the Common Stock, if the cash and value of any other consideration included
in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the trading day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such
tender or exchange offer, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant will be increased based on the following formula: 

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	AC +
	 	N'	 	=	 	No	 	×	 	(SP' × OS')
 OSo × SP'

11

 

where,

	 	N'	 	=	 	the adjusted number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant;
	

 	

No	
 	

=	
 	

the current number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each warrant;
	

 	

AC	
 	

=	
 	

the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) paid or payable for shares purchased in such tender or exchange offer;
	

 	

OSo	
 	

=	
 	

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
	

 	

OS'	
 	

=	
 	

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires; and
	

 	

SP'	
 	

=	
 	

the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the trading day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

        The
adjustment shall be made successively and shall become effective immediately following the date such tender or exchange offer expires. 

        (g)    Consideration Received.    

        For
purposes of any computation respecting consideration received pursuant to subsections (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 11, the following shall apply: 

          (i)  in
the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock for cash, the consideration shall be the amount of such cash, provided that in no case shall any deduction be made
for any commissions, discounts or other expenses incurred by the Company for any underwriting or other sale or disposition of the issue or otherwise in connection therewith; 

         (ii)  in
the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be
the fair market value thereof as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (irrespective of the accounting treatment thereof) and described in a Board resolution which shall be
filed with the Warrant Agent; and 

        (iii)  in
the case of the issuance of securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares, the aggregate consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the
consideration received by the Company for the issuance of such securities plus the additional minimum consideration, if any, to be received by the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof for
the maximum number of shares used to calculate the adjustment (the consideration in each case to be determined in the same manner as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) of this subsection). 

        (h)    Defined Terms; When De Minimis Adjustment May Be Deferred.    

        As
used in this section 11: 

          (i)  "Closing Price" of the Common Stock on any date of determination means: the closing sale price for the regular trading
session (without considering after hours or other trading outside regular trading session hours) of the Common Stock (regular way) on the American Stock Exchange on that date (or, if no closing price
is reported, the last reported sale price during that regular trading session), (i) if the Common Stock is not listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange on that date, as reported in the
composite transactions for the principal United States 

12

 

securities
exchange on which the Common Stock is so listed, (ii) if the Common Stock is not so reported, the last quoted bid price for the Common Stock in the
over-the-counter market as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board, the National Quotation Bureau or similar organization, or (iii) if the Common Stock is not so quoted, the
average of the mid-point of the last bid and ask prices for the Common Stock from at least three nationally recognized investment-banking firms that the Company selects for
this purpose. 

         (ii)  "ex-dividend date" means the first date on which the shares of Common Stock trade on the applicable exchange
or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive the issuance or distribution in question; 

        (iii)  "trading day" means, with respect to the Common Stock or any other security, a day during which (A) trading in
the Common Stock or such other security generally occurs, (B) there is no market disruption event (as defined below) and (C) a Closing Price for the Common Stock or such other security
(other than a Closing Price referred to in the next to last clause of such definition) is available for such day; provided that if the Common Stock or such other security is not admitted for trading
or quotation on or by any exchange, bureau or other organization, "trading day" will mean any Business Day; 

        (iv)  "market disruption event" means, with respect to the Common Stock or any other security, the occurrence or existence of
more than one-half hour period in the aggregate or any scheduled trading day for the Common Stock or such other security of any suspension or limitation imposed on trading (by reason of
movements in price exceeding limits permitted by the stock exchange or otherwise) in the Common Stock or such other security or in any options, contract, or future contracts relating to the Common
Stock or such other security, and such suspension or limitation occurs or exists at any time before 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on such day; and 

         (v)  "Business Day" means, any day on which the American Stock Exchange is open for trading and which is not a Saturday, a
Sunday or any other day on which banks in the City of New York, New York, are authorized or required by law to close. 

        No
adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant need be made unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in
such number. Any adjustments that are not made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. 

        All
calculations under this Section 11 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. 

        (i)    When No Adjustment Required.    

        No
adjustment need be made for a transaction referred to in subsections (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) of this Section 11 if Warrant holders are to participate, without
requiring the Warrants to be exercised, in the transaction on a basis and with notice that the Board of Directors of the Company reasonably determines to be fair and appropriate in light of the basis
and notice on which holders of Common Stock participate in the transaction. 

        No
adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par value of the Common Stock. 

        To
the extent the Warrants become convertible into cash, no adjustment need be made thereafter as to the amount of cash into which such Warrants are exercisable. Interest will not accrue
on the cash. 

        (j)    Notice of Adjustment.    

        Whenever
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant is adjusted, the Company shall provide the notices required by Section 13 hereof. 

13

 

        (k)    Notice of Certain Transactions.    

        If:

          (i)  the
Company takes any action that would require an adjustment in the Exercise Price pursuant to subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) of this
Section 11 and if the Company does not arrange for Warrant holders to participate pursuant to subsection (i) of this Section 11; 

         (ii)  the
Company takes any action that would require a supplemental Warrant Agreement pursuant to subsection (l) of this Section 11; or 

        (iii)  there
is a liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the Company shall mail to Warrant holders a notice stating the proposed record date for a dividend or
distribution or the proposed effective date of a subdivision, combination, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, lease, liquidation or dissolution. The Company shall mail the notice at
least 15 days before such date. Failure to mail the notice or any defect in it shall not affect the validity of the transaction. 

        (l)    Reorganization of Company.    

        If
the Company consolidates or merges with or into, or transfers or leases all or substantially all its assets to, any person, upon consummation of such transaction the Warrants shall
automatically become exercisable for the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets which the holder of a Warrant would have owned immediately after the consolidation, merger, transfer or
lease if such holder had exercised the Warrant immediately before the effective date of the transaction; provided that (a) if the holders of Common Stock were entitled to exercise a right of
election as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other assets receivable upon such consolidation or merger, then the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets for which each Warrant
shall become exercisable shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the kind and amount received per share by the holders of Common Stock in such consolidation or merger that affirmatively make
such election or (b) if a tender or exchange offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of Common Stock under circumstances in which, upon completion of such tender or exchange
offer, the maker thereof, together with members of any group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) of
which such maker is a part, and together with any affiliate or associate of such maker (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and any members of any such group of
which any such affiliate or associate is a part, own beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock,
the holder of a Warrant shall be entitled to receive the highest amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would actually have been entitled as a shareholder if such Warrant
holder had exercised the Warrant prior to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, accepted such offer and all of the Common Stock held by such holder had been purchased pursuant to such
tender or exchange offer, subject to adjustments (from and after the
consummation of such tender or exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section 11. Concurrently with the consummation of any such transaction,
the corporation or other entity formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger if other than the Company, or the person to which such sale or conveyance shall have been made, shall enter into
a supplemental Warrant Agreement so providing and further providing for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practical to the adjustments provided for in this Section. The
successor Company shall mail to Warrant holders a notice describing the supplemental Warrant Agreement. 

        If
the issuer of securities deliverable upon exercise of Warrants under the supplemental Warrant Agreement is an affiliate of the formed, surviving, transferee or lessee corporation,
that issuer shall join in the supplemental Warrant Agreement. 

        If
this subsection (l) applies, subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 11 do not apply. 

14

 

        (m)    Warrant Agent's Disclaimer.    

        The
Warrant Agent has no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Section 11 should be made, how it should be made or what it should be. The Warrant Agent has no duty to
determine whether any provisions of a supplemental Warrant Agreement under subsection (l) of this Section 11 are correct. The Warrant Agent makes no representation as to the validity or
value of any securities or assets issued upon exercise of Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for the Company's failure to comply with this Section. 

        (n)    When Issuance or Payment May Be Deferred.    

        In
any case in which this Section 11 shall require that an adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant be made effective as of a
record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the holder of any Warrant exercised after such record date the Warrant Shares
and other capital stock of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the Warrant Shares and other capital stock of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis
of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant and (ii) paying to such holder any amount in cash in lieu of a fractional share pursuant to Section 12
hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such holder's right to receive such additional Warrant Shares, other
capital stock and cash upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment. 

15

   
        (o)    Adjustment in Exercise Price.    

        Upon
each event that provides for an adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant pursuant to this Section 11, each Warrant
outstanding prior to the making of the adjustment shall thereafter have an adjusted Exercise Price (calculated to the nearest ten millionth) obtained from the following formula: 

	E'	=	E  ×	 	N
 N'

	

where:
	

E'	

=	
 	

the adjusted Exercise Price.
	

E	

=	
 	

the Exercise Price prior to adjustment.
	

N'	

=	
 	

the adjusted number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant by payment of the adjusted Exercise Price.
	

N	

=	
 	

the number of Warrant Shares previously issuable upon exercise of a Warrant by payment of the Exercise Price prior to adjustment.

        Following
any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 11, the amount payable, when adjusted and together with any consideration allocated to the issuance of the
Warrants, shall never be less than the par value per Warrant Share at the time of such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur. 

        (p)    Form of Warrants.    

        Irrespective
of any adjustments in the number or kind of shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants or the Exercise Price, Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued may continue
to express the same number and kind of shares and Exercise Price as are stated in the Warrants initially issuable pursuant to this Warrant Agreement. 

        (q)    Other Dilutive Events.    

        In
case any event shall occur affecting the Company, as to which the provisions of this Section 11 are not strictly applicable, but would impact the holders of Warrants adversely
as compared to holders of Common Stock, and the failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights represented by the Warrants in accordance with the essential intent and
principles of this Section then, in each such case, the Company shall appoint a firm of independent public accountants, investment banking or other appraisal firm of recognized national standing which
shall give their opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established in this Section 11, necessary to preserve, without dilution, the
purchase rights represented by the Warrants. 

        The
provisions of this Section 11 shall not apply until issuance of the Public Warrants. 

        SECTION
12.    Fractional Interests.    The Company shall not be required to issue fractional Warrant Shares on the
exercise of Warrants. If more than one Warrant shall be presented for exercise in full at the same time by the same holder, the number of full Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the exercise
thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares
purchasable on exercise of the Warrants so presented. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 12, be issuable on the exercise of any Warrants (or
specified portion thereof), the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the fair market value on the day immediately preceding the date the Warrant is presented for exercise, multiplied by such
fraction. 

        SECTION
13.    Notices to Warrant Holders.    Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 11,
the Company shall promptly thereafter, and in any event within five days, (a) cause to be 

16

 

filed
with the Warrant Agent a certificate executed by the Chief Financial Officer or principal financial officer of the Company setting forth the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of
each Warrant after such adjustment and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculations are based, and (b) cause to be given to each of
the registered holders of the Warrant Certificates at his address appearing on the Warrant register written notice of such adjustments by first-class mail, postage prepaid. Where appropriate, such
notice may be given in advance and included as a part of the notice required to be mailed under the other provisions of this Section 13. The Warrant Agent shall be fully protected in relying on
any such certificate and on any adjustment therein contained and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of such adjustment unless and until it shall have received such certificate. 

        In
case: 

        (a)   the
Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of shares of Common Stock of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or
of any other subscription rights or warrants; or 

        (b)   the
Company shall authorize the distribution to all holders of shares of Common Stock of evidences of its indebtedness or assets (other than regular cash dividends or
dividends payable in shares of Common Stock or distributions referred to in subsection (b) of Section 11 hereof); or 

        (c)   of
any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any shareholders of the Company is required, or of the conveyance or transfer of
the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety, or of any reclassification or change of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (other than a change in par value, or
from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock; or 

        (d)   of
the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; or 

        (e)   the
Company proposes to take any action not specified above which would require an adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 11 hereof; then the
Company shall cause to be filed with the Warrant Agent and shall cause to be given to each of the registered holders of the Warrant Certificates at his address appearing on the Warrant register, at
least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record date hereinafter specified, or as promptly as practicable under the circumstances in the case of events for which there is no record date, by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, a written notice stating (i) the date as of which the holders of record of shares of Common Stock to be entitled to receive any such rights, options, warrants
or distribution are to be determined, or (ii) the initial expiration date set forth in any tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, or (iii) the date on which any such
consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective or consummated, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of record of
shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange such shares for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up. The failure to give the notice required by this Section 13 or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of any distribution, right,
option, warrant, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, or the vote upon any action. 

        Nothing
contained in this Warrant Agreement or in any of the Warrant Certificates shall be construed as conferring upon the holders thereof the right to vote or to consent or to receive
notice as shareholders in respect of the meetings of shareholders or the election of Directors of the Company or any other matter, or any rights whatsoever as shareholders of the Company. 

        SECTION
14.    Merger, Consolidation or Change of Name of Warrant Agent.    Any corporation into which the Warrant
Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation 

17

 

resulting
from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust or agency business of the Warrant
Agent, shall be the successor to the Warrant Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that such corporation
would be eligible for appointment as a successor warrant agent under the provisions of Section 16. In case at the time such successor to the Warrant Agent shall succeed to the agency created by
this Warrant Agreement, and in case at that time any of the Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, any such successor to the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature
of the original Warrant Agent; and in case at that time any of the Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, any successor to the Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrant Certificates
either in the name of the predecessor Warrant Agent or in the name of the successor to the Warrant Agent; and in all such cases such Warrant Certificates shall have the full force and effect provided
in the Warrant Certificates and in this Warrant Agreement. 

        In
case at any time the name of the Warrant Agent shall be changed and at such time any of the Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, the Warrant Agent
whose name has been changed may adopt the countersignature under its prior name, and in case at that time any of the Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, the Warrant Agent may
countersign such
Warrant Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name, and in all such cases such Warrant Certificates shall have the full force and effect provided in the Warrant Certificates and in
this Warrant Agreement. 

        SECTION
15.    Warrant Agent.    The Warrant Agent undertakes the duties and obligations imposed by this Warrant
Agreement (and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Warrant Agreement against the Warrant Agent) upon the following terms and conditions, by all of which the Company and the
holders of Warrants, by their acceptance thereof, shall be bound: 

        (a)   The
statements contained herein and in the Warrant Certificates shall be taken as statements of the Company and the Warrant Agent assumes no responsibility for the
correctness of any of the same except such as describe the Warrant Agent or action taken or to be taken by it. The Warrant Agent assumes no responsibility with respect to the distribution of the
Warrant Certificates except as herein otherwise provided. 

        (b)   The
Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants contained in this Warrant Agreement or in the Warrant
Certificates to be complied with by the Company. 

        (c)   The
Warrant Agent may consult at any time with counsel of its own selection (who may be counsel for the Company) and the Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or
responsibility to the Company or to any holder of any Warrant Certificate in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion or the
advice of such counsel. The Warrant Agent may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or through agents or attorneys and the Warrant Agent shall
not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder. 

        (d)   The
Warrant Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished
to the Warrant Agent and conforming to the requirements of this Warrant Agreement. The Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any holder of any Warrant
Certificate for any action taken in reliance on any Warrant Certificate, certificate of shares, notice, resolution, waiver, consent, order, certificate, or other paper, document or instrument (whether
in its original or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or presented by the proper party or parties. 

18

 

        (e)   The
Company agrees to pay to the Warrant Agent such compensation for all services rendered by the Warrant Agent in the administration and execution of this Warrant
Agreement as the Company and
the Warrant Agent shall agree in writing to reimburse the Warrant Agent for all expenses, taxes and governmental charges and other charges of any kind and nature incurred by the Warrant Agent in the
execution of this Warrant Agreement (including fees and expenses of its counsel) and to indemnify the Warrant Agent (and any predecessor Warrant Agent) and save it harmless against any and all claims
(whether asserted by the Company, a holder or any other person), damages, losses, expenses (including taxes other than taxes based on the income of the Warrant Agent), liabilities, including
judgments, costs and counsel fees and expenses, for anything done or omitted by the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Warrant Agreement except as a result of its negligence or willful misconduct.
The provisions of this Section 15(e) shall survive the expiration of the Warrants and the termination of this Warrant Agreement. 

        (f)    The
Warrant Agent shall be under no obligation to institute any action, suit or legal proceeding or to take any other action likely to involve expense unless the Company
or one or more registered holders of Warrant Certificates shall furnish the Warrant Agent with security and indemnity satisfactory to it for any costs and expenses which may be incurred, but this
provision shall not affect the power of the Warrant Agent to take such action as it may consider proper, whether with or without any such security or indemnity. All rights of action under this Warrant
Agreement or under any of the Warrants may be enforced by the Warrant Agent without the possession of any of the Warrant Certificates or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding
relative thereto, and any such action, suit or proceeding instituted by the Warrant Agent shall be brought in its name as Warrant Agent and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of
the registered holders of the Warrants, as their respective rights or interests may appear. 

        (g)   The
Warrant Agent, and any stockholder, director, officer or employee of it, may buy, sell or deal in any of the Warrants or other securities of the Company or become
pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Warrant Agent
under this Warrant Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity. 

        (h)   The
Warrant Agent shall act hereunder solely as agent for the Company, and its duties shall be determined solely by the provisions hereof. The Warrant Agent shall not be
liable for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Warrant Agreement except for its own negligence or willful misconduct. The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for any
error of judgment made in good faith by it, unless it shall be proved that the Warrant Agent was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant Agreement to
the contrary, in no event shall the Warrant Agent be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if
the Warrant Agent has been advised of the likelihood of the loss or damage and regardless of the form of the action. 

        (i)    The
Warrant Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any holder of any Warrant Certificate to make or cause to be made any adjustment of the
Exercise Price or number of the Warrant Shares or other securities or property deliverable as provided in this Warrant Agreement, or to determine whether any facts exist which may require any of such
adjustments, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustments, when made, or with respect to the method employed in making the same. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable with
respect to the validity or value or the kind or amount of any Warrant Shares or of any securities or property which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the exercise of any Warrant or with
respect to whether any such Warrant Shares or other securities will when issued 

19

 

be
validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, and makes no representation with respect thereto. 

        (j)    Notwithstanding
anything in this Warrant Agreement to the contrary, neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall have any liability to any holder of a Warrant
Certificate or other Person as a result of its inability to perform any of its obligations under this Warrant Agreement by reason of any preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree or
ruling issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or commission, or any statute, rule, regulation or executive order promulgated or enacted
by any governmental authority prohibiting or otherwise restraining performance of such obligation; provided that (i) the Company must use its reasonable best efforts to have any such order,
decree or ruling lifted or otherwise overturned as soon as possible and (ii) nothing in this Section 15(j) shall affect the Company's obligation under Section 6(d) to use its best
efforts to have a registration statement in effect covering the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those Warrant Shares. 

        (k)   Any
application by the Warrant Agent for written instructions from the Company may, at the option of the Warrant Agent, set forth in writing any action proposed to be
taken or omitted by the Warrant Agent under this Warrant Agreement and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Warrant Agent shall not be
liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Warrant Agent in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be
less than three Business Days after the date any officer of the Company actually receives such application, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to
taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Warrant Agent shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken
or omitted. 

        (l)    No
provision of this Warrant Agreement shall require the Warrant Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of
any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of its rights. 

        (m)  In
addition to the foregoing, the Warrant Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for, or in respect of, any action taken or omitted by it in connection
with its administration of this Warrant Agreement if such acts or omissions are not the result of the Warrant Agent's reckless disregard of its
duty, gross negligence or willful misconduct and are in reliance upon (i) the proper execution of the certification concerning beneficial ownership appended to the form of assignment and the
form of the election attached hereto unless the Warrant Agent shall have actual knowledge that, as executed, such certification is untrue, or (ii) the non-execution of such
certification including, without limitation, any refusal to honor any otherwise permissible assignment or election by reason of such non-execution. 

        (n)   The
Warrant Agent hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind ("Claim") in or to any
distribution of the Trust Account (as defined in that certain Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between the Company and the Warrant Agent as trustee
thereunder), and hereby agrees not to seek recourse, reimbursement, payment or satisfaction for any Claim against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever. 

        SECTION
16.    Change of Warrant Agent.    The Warrant Agent may at any time resign as Warrant Agent upon
60 days' written notice to the Company. If the Warrant Agent shall become incapable of acting as Warrant Agent, the Company shall appoint a successor to such Warrant Agent. If the Company shall
fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or of such incapacity by the Warrant Agent or by the registered holder of a
Warrant Certificate, then the registered holder of any Warrant Certificate or the Warrant Agent may 

20

 

apply,
at the expense of the Company, to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor to the Warrant Agent. Pending appointment of a successor to such Warrant Agent, either
by the Company or by such a court, the duties of the Warrant Agent shall be carried out by the Company. The holders of a majority of the unexercised Warrants shall be entitled at any time to remove
the Warrant Agent and appoint a successor to such Warrant Agent. If a Successor Warrant Agent shall not have been appointed within 30 days of such removal, the Warrant Agent may apply, at the
expense of the Company, to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor to the Warrant Agent. Such successor to the Warrant Agent need not be approved by the Company or the
former Warrant Agent. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such court, shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York, in good
standing and having its principal office in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority. After appointment the successor to the Warrant Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally
named as Warrant Agent without further act or deed; but the former Warrant Agent upon payment of all fees and expenses due it and its agents and counsel shall deliver and transfer to the successor to
the Warrant Agent any property at the time held by it hereunder and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose. Failure to give any notice provided
for in this Section 16, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the appointment of a successor to the Warrant Agent. 

        SECTION
17.    Notices to Company and Warrant Agent.    Any notice or demand authorized by this Warrant Agreement to
be given or made by the Warrant Agent or by the registered holder of any Warrant Certificate to or on the Company shall be sufficiently given or made when and if deposited in the mail,

18.    Supplements and Amendments.    The Company and the Warrant Agent may from time to time supplement or
amend this Warrant Agreement without the approval of any holders of Warrant Certificates in order to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein which may be
defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising hereunder which the Company and the 

21

 

Warrant
Agent may deem necessary or desirable and which shall not in any way adversely affect the interests of the holders of Warrant Certificates theretofore issued. Upon the delivery of a
certificate from an appropriate officer of the Company that states that the proposed supplement or amendment is in compliance with the terms of this Section 18, the Warrant Agent shall execute
such supplement or amendment. Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant Agreement to the contrary, the prior written consent of the Warrant Agent must be obtained in connection with any supplement or
amendment that alters the rights or duties of the Warrant Agent. The Company and the Warrant Agent may amend any provision herein with the consent of the holders of Warrants exercisable for a majority
of the Warrant Shares issuable on exercise of all outstanding Warrants that would be affected by such amendment; provided that any amendment affecting the Public Warrants must be approved by the
holders of a majority of the Public Warrants. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the issuance of any Public Warrants, this Warrant Agreement (including Exhibit A hereto)
may be amended by the Company and the Warrant Agent, without the consent of any holder of Insider Warrants, to modify in any way or provide for the terms of the Public Warrants. 

        SECTION
19.    Successors.    All the covenants and provisions of this Warrant Agreement by or for the benefit of the
Company or the Warrant Agent shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns hereunder. 

        SECTION
20.    Termination.    This Agreement will terminate on any earlier date if all Warrants have been exercised
or expired without exercise. The provisions of Section 13 hereof shall survive such termination. 

        SECTION
21.    Governing Law.    This Agreement and each Warrant Certificate issued hereunder shall be deemed to be a
contract made under the laws of the State of New York and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of said State. The parties agree that, all actions and proceedings
arising out of this Warrant Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or in a New York State
Court in the County of New York and that, in connection with any such action or proceeding, submit to the jurisdiction of, and venue in, such court. Each of the parties hereto also irrevocably waives
all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of this Warrant Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. 

        SECTION
22.    Benefits of This Agreement.    Nothing in this Warrant Agreement shall be construed to give to any
person or corporation other than the Company, the Warrant Agent and the registered holders of the Warrant Certificates any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Warrant Agreement,
and this Warrant Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company, the Warrant Agent and the registered holders of the Warrant Certificates. 

        SECTION
23.    Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such
counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 

        SECTION
24.    Force Majeure.    In no event shall the Warrant Agent be responsible or liable for any failure or delay
in the performance of its obligations under this Warrant 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 interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or

    FORM OF WARRANT CERTIFICATE (FACE)    
    
    Warrant    
    
    WATTLES ACQUISITION CORP.    

        This
Warrant Certificate certifies that [    •    ], or registered assigns, is the registered holder of
[    •    ] warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase shares of Common Stock, $.0001 par value (the
"Common Stock"), of Wattles Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). Each Warrant
entitles the holder, upon exercise during the period set forth in the Warrant Agreement referred to below, to receive from the Company that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock (each, a "Warrant Share") as set forth below at the exercise price (the "Exercise Price") as
determined pursuant to the Warrant Agreement payable in lawful money of the United States of America upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate and payment of the Exercise Price at the office or
agency of the Warrant Agent, but only subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant Agreement. 

        Each
Warrant is initially exercisable for one share of Common Stock. The number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of
certain events set forth in the Warrant Agreement. 

        The
initial Exercise Price per share of Common Stock for any Warrant is equal to $7.50 per share. The Exercise Price is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events set
forth in the Warrant Agreement. 

        Warrants
may be exercised only during the Warrant Exercise Period subject to the conditions set forth in the Warrant Agreement and to the extent not exercised by the end of such Warrant
Exercise Period such Warrants shall become void. 

        Reference
is hereby made to the further provisions of this Warrant Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof and such further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as
though fully set forth at this place. 

        This
Warrant Certificate shall not be valid unless countersigned by the Warrant Agent, as such term is used in the Warrant Agreement. 

        This
Warrant Certificate shall be governed and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.

Form of Warrant Certificate (Reverse)    
    

        The
Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly authorized issue of Warrants entitling the holder on exercise to receive shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001
per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock"), and are issued or to be issued pursuant to a Warrant Agreement dated as of
[    •    ], 2008 (the "Warrant Agreement"), duly executed and delivered by the Company to
American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, as warrant agent (the "Warrant Agent"), which Warrant Agreement is hereby
incorporated by reference in and made a part of this instrument and is hereby referred to for a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the
Warrant Agent, the Company and the holders (the words "holders" or "holder" meaning the registered holders or registered holder) of the Warrants. A copy of the Warrant Agreement may be obtained by the
holder hereof upon written request to the Company. Defined terms used in this Warrant Certificate but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Warrant Agreement. 

        Warrants
may be exercised at any time during the Warrant Exercise Period set forth in the Warrant Agreement. The holder of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may exercise
them by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the form of election to purchase set forth hereon properly completed and executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price as specified in the
Warrant Agreement at the principal corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent. In the event that upon any exercise of Warrants evidenced hereby the number of Warrants exercised shall be less than the
total number of Warrants evidenced hereby, there shall be issued to the holder hereof or his assignee a new
Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Warrants not exercised. No adjustment shall be made for any dividends on any Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. 

        Notwithstanding
anything else in this Warrant Certificate or the Warrant Agreement, no Warrant may be exercised unless at the time of exercise (i) a registration statement
covering the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise (other than Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise of any Insider Warrant) is effective under the Act and (ii) a prospectus thereunder
relating to the Warrant Shares (other than Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise of any Insider Warrant) is current. In no event shall the Warrants be settled on a net cash basis during the
Warrant Exercise Period nor shall the Company be required to issue unregistered shares upon the exercise of any Warrant that is not an Insider Warrant. 

        The
Warrant Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of certain events the number of Warrant Shares set forth on the face hereof may, subject to certain conditions, be adjusted. No
fractions of a share of Common Stock will be issued upon the exercise of any Warrant, but the Company will pay the cash value thereof determined as provided in the Warrant Agreement. 

        Warrant
Certificates, when surrendered at the principal corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent by the registered holder thereof in person or by legal representative or attorney duly
authorized in writing, may be exchanged, in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, but without payment of any service charge, for another Warrant Certificate or
Warrant Certificates of like tenor evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants. 

        Upon
due presentation for registration of transfer of this Warrant Certificate at the office of the Warrant Agent a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor and
evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants shall be issued to the transferee(s) in exchange for this Warrant Certificate, subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement,
without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith. 

        The
Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered holder(s) thereof as the absolute owner(s) of this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or
other writing hereon made by anyone), for the purpose of any exercise hereof, of any distribution to the 

3

 

holder(s)
hereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the Warrants nor this Warrant Certificate entitles
any holder hereof to any rights of a stockholder of the Company.

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 of
counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company may participate in such action with its own counsel; 

        (c)   Pay
the Trustee an initial acceptance fee of $1,000 and an annual fee of $3,000 (it being expressly understood that the Property shall not be used to pay such fee). The
Company shall pay the Trustee the initial acceptance fee and first year's fee at the consummation of the IPO and thereafter shall pay the annual fee on each anniversary of the Effective Date. The
Trustee shall refund to the Company the 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 may be provided in paragraph 2(b) hereof (it being expressly understood that the Property
shall not be used to make any payments to the Trustee under such paragraph); 

        (d)   Within
five business days after the Underwriters' over-allotment option (or any unexercised portion thereof) expires or is exercised in full, provide the
Trustee with a notice in writing (with a copy to the Representatives) of the total amount of the Deferred Discount, which shall in no event be less than $7,000,000; 

        (e)   In
connection with any vote of the Company's stockholders on whether to approve an Initial Business Combination, provide to the Trustee an affidavit or certificate of a
firm regularly engaged in the business of soliciting proxies and tabulating stockholder votes (which firm may be the Trustee) verifying the vote of the Company's stockholders regarding such Initial
Business Combination; and 

        (f)    In
all cases, provide the Representatives with a copy of any Termination Letters and/or any other correspondence that it sends to the Trustee with respect to any
proposed withdrawal from the Trust Account promptly after it issues the same. 

        3.     LIQUIDATION
AND DISTRIBUTION OF TRUST ACCOUNT PROPERTY. 

        (a)   The
Trustee shall commence liquidation of the Trust Account only upon receipt of, and only in accordance with the terms of a 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 Chairman and Chief Executive Officer or President and affirmed by the Vice
Chairman of the Board of Directors, and complete the liquidation of the Trust Account and distribute the Property in the Trust Account only as directed in the Termination Letter and any other
documents referred to therein; provided, however, that the Trustee shall disburse such funds from the Trust Account (i) from time to time as may be necessary timely to pay any taxes incurred as
a result of interest or other income earned on the Property held in the Trust Account or State of Delaware franchise taxes, only upon receipt and in accordance with the terms of a letter in form
substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit C (a "Tax Disbursement Letter"), signed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer or President and copied to Authorized Counsel (as defined below), as evidenced by his or her countersignature thereto, and complete the disbursement of funds from the Trust
Account and distribute such funds only as directed in the Tax Disbursement Letter and any other documents referred to therein, and (ii) from time to time as may be necessary for working capital
purposes, only upon receipt and in accordance with the terms of a letter in form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit D (a "Disbursement
Letter"), signed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and copied to Authorized Counsel, as evidenced by his or her countersignature thereto, the
Trustee shall disburse to the Company such amount as may be requested by the Company as directed in the Disbursement Letter and the other documents referred to therein, provided, however, that the
aggregate amount distributed by the Trustee to the Company pursuant to this paragraph 3(ii) may not exceed the lesser of (y) the aggregate amount of interest and any other income
actually received or paid on amounts in the Trust Account less an amount equal to estimated taxes that are or will be due on such income at an assumed rate of 40% and (z) $2,500,000, provided
further, however, if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full, the Company shall not be permitted to draw such amounts until
$[    •    ] (or a lesser amount if less than the full Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised, pro rata based on the
amount of the Underwriters' over-allotment option exercised) of interest income shall have been earned on the trust account with the resulting effect that there shall be a minimum of
$[    •    ] per-share held in the Trust Account. For purposes of this Agreement, "Authorized Counsel" shall mean, at any date, the
attorney retained and authorized by the Company to perform such functions. 

3

 

        (b)   The
limited distributions referred to in Sections 3(a) above shall be made only from interest and any other income collected on the Property. Except as provided in
Section 3(a) above, no other distributions from the Trust Account shall be permitted except in accordance with Section 1(i) hereof. 

        4.     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 paragraphs 1 and 3 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; 

        (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 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; 

        (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; or 

        (h)   Subject
to the requirements of paragraph 3 of this Agreement, pay any taxes on behalf of the Trust Account to any governmental entity or taxing authority. 

        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. 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 

4

 

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 that arises due to any actions or omissions to act by any party after such deposit; or 

        (b)   At
such time that the Trustee has completed the liquidation of the Trust Account in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 1(i) 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). 

        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. 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 E. 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. 

        (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 the Representatives. 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. 

5

 

        (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 express mail or
similar private courier service, by certified mail (return receipt requested), by hand delivery or by facsimile transmission:

Trustee waives any right of set-off or any right, title, interest or claim of any kind that the Trustee may have against the Property held in the Trust
Account, and acknowledges and agrees that it shall not make any claims or proceed against the Trust Account, including by way of set-off, and shall not be entitled to any funds in the

a
claim against the Company under this Agreement, including, without limitation, under Section 2(b), the Trustee will pursue such claim solely against the Company and not against the Property
held in the Trust Account.

Trustee acknowledges and agrees that it is the specific intention of the parties hereto that each of the Representatives is and shall be a third-party beneficiary of
the provisions of this Agreement pertaining to the Deferred Discount (including Section6(c)) and the Trustee's obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto (but solely of those provisions and
solely with respect to such obligations of the Trustee) with the same right and power to enforce those provisions as either of the parties hereto.

	Re:
	Trust Account No. [    •    ] Termination Letter

Gentlemen:

Pursuant
to paragraph 1(i) of the Investment Management Trust Agreement between Wattles Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") and American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company (the "Trustee"), dated as of [    •    ], 2008 (the
"Trust Agreement"), this is to advise you that the Company has entered into an agreement (the "Business
Agreement") with [    •    ] (the "Target Business") to consummate a
business combination with the Target Business (the "Business Combination") on or about
[    •    ]. The Company shall notify you at least 48 hours in advance of the actual date of the consummation of the Business Combination
(the "Consummation Date"). 

Pursuant
to Paragraph 2(e) of the Trust Agreement, we are providing you with [an affidavit] [a certificate] verifying the vote of the Company's
stockholders duly approving the Business Combination in accordance with the terms of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. 

The
[affidavit] [certificate] includes the identities of the public stockholders who voted against the Business Combination and properly exercised their
conversion rights in connection therewith. 

In
accordance with the terms of the Trust 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) counsel for 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 other than the Deferred Discount (the "Instruction Letter") and
(iii) the Representatives shall deliver to you written instructions for delivery of the Deferred Discount. You are hereby directed and authorized to transfer the funds held in the Trust Account
immediately upon your receipt of written notice from counsel and the Instruction Letter (a) to public stockholders who exercised their redemption rights in connection with the Business
Combination, in an amount equal to their pro rata share of the amounts in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the Consummation Date (including the Deferred Discount and any income
actually received on the Trust Account balance and held in the Trust Account, but less an amount equal to estimated taxes that are or will be due on such income at an assumed rate of 40%);
(b) to the Representatives in an amount equal to the Deferred Discount as so directed by them, and (c) the remainder 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 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 or be distributed immediately and the penalty incurred. Upon the distribution of all the
funds in the Trust Account pursuant to the terms hereof, the Trust Agreement shall be terminated and the Trust Account closed. 

A-1

 

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 the funds held in the Trust Account shall be reinvested as provided in the Trust Agreement on the business day immediately following the Consummation Date as set forth in the
notice.
