      The
        undersigned, in consideration of Morgan Joseph & Co. Inc. (“Morgan
        Joseph”)
        entering into a letter of intent (the “Letter
        of Intent”)
        to
        underwrite an initial public offering (the “IPO”)
        of the
        securities of the Company and embarking on, undertaking and continuing to
        participate in the IPO process, hereby agrees as follows (certain capitalized
        terms used herein are defined in paragraph XV hereof):

    

    I. 
      (1)   In the event the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination
      within 24 months from the effective date (the “Effective
      Date”)
      of the
      registration statement relating to the IPO (the “Termination
      Date”),
      the
      undersigned shall, in accordance with all applicable requirements of the
      Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”),
      (i)
      cause the Trustee to liquidate the Trust Account to the holders of the IPO
      Shares and (ii) take all reasonable actions within his power to cause the
      Company to liquidate as soon as reasonably practicable.

    

    (2)
        Except with respect to any of the IPO Shares acquired by the undersigned
      in connection with or following the IPO, the undersigned hereby (a) waives
      any
      and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind (a “Claim”)
      in or
      to all funds in the Trust Account and any remaining net assets of the Company
      upon liquidation of the Trust Account and dissolution of the Company, (b) waives
      any Claim the undersigned may have in the future as a result of, or arising
      out
      of, any contracts or agreements with the Company and (c) agrees the undersigned
      will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason
      whatsoever.

    

    II. 
In
      order to minimize potential conflicts of interest which may arise from multiple
      affiliations, the undersigned agrees, in accordance with the Right of First
      Refusal Agreement, to present to the Company for its consideration, prior
      to presentation to any other person or entity, any suitable opportunity to
      acquire an operating business, until the earlier of (i) the consummation by
      the
      Company of a Business Combination, (ii) the dissolution of the Company or (iii)
      such time as the undersigned ceases to be a director of the Company, subject
      to
      any pre-existing fiduciary and contractual obligations the undersigned might
      have.

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    III. 
      The undersigned acknowledges and agrees the Company will not consummate any
      Business Combination which involves a company which is affiliated with any

      the
      Business Combination is fair to the Company’s stockholders from a financial
      perspective.

    

    IV. 
      (1)   Neither the undersigned, any member of the family of the undersigned,

      (b)
      upon the consummation of a Business Combination.

    

    V. 
      Neither the undersigned, any member of the family of the undersigned, nor any
      Affiliate will be entitled to receive or accept a finder’s fee or any other
      compensation in the event the undersigned, any member of the family of the
      undersigned or any Affiliate originates a Business Combination.

    

    VI.
