      STOCK ESCROW  AGREEMENT,  dated as of , 2005  ("Agreement"),  by and among
VICEROY  ACQUISITION  CORPORATION,  a  Delaware  corporation  ("Company"),   the
undersigned  parties  listed under Initial  Stockholders  on the signature  page
hereto  (collectively  "Initial  Stockholders") and CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER &
TRUST COMPANY, a New York corporation ("Escrow Agent").

      WHEREAS, the Company has entered into an Underwriting  Agreement,  dated ,
2005  ("Underwriting  Agreement"),  with The Shemano  Group,  Inc. (the "Shemano
Group") acting as representative of the several underwriters (collectively,  the
"Underwriters"),  pursuant to which, among other matters,  the Underwriters have
agreed to purchase 20,000,000 units ("Units") of the Company. Each Unit consists
of one share of the Company's  Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share, and one
Warrant,  each Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock,  all as more fully
described  in the  Company's  final  Prospectus,  dated  ,  2005  ("Prospectus")
comprising  part of the Company's  Registration  Statement on Form S-1 (File No.
333-______)  under  the  Securities  Act  of  1933,  as  amended  ("Registration
Statement"), declared effective on , 2005 ("Effective Date").

      WHEREAS,  the Initial  Stockholders have agreed as a condition of the sale
of the Units to deposit  their  shares of Common  Stock of the  Company,  as set
forth opposite their respective names in EXHIBIT A attached hereto (collectively
"Escrow Shares"), in escrow as hereinafter provided.

      WHEREAS,  the Company and the Initial  Stockholders desire that the Escrow
Agent  accept  the  Escrow  Shares,  in  escrow,  to be held  and  disbursed  as
hereinafter provided.

      IT IS AGREED:

      1.    Appointment   of  Escrow   Agent.   The   Company  and  the  Initial
Stockholders  hereby  appoint  the Escrow  Agent to act in  accordance  with and
subject to the terms of this  Agreement and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such
appointment and agrees to act in accordance with and subject to such terms.

      2.    Deposit of Escrow Shares.  On or before the Effective  Date, each of
the  Initial  Stockholders  shall  deliver  to  the  Escrow  Agent  certificates
representing his respective  Escrow Shares,  to be held and disbursed subject to
the  terms  and  conditions  of  this   Agreement.   Each  Initial   Stockholder
acknowledges that the certificate  representing his Escrow Shares is legended to
reflect the deposit of such Escrow Shares under this Agreement.

      3.    Disbursement  of the Escrow Shares.  The Escrow Agent shall hold the
Escrow  Shares  until the  third  anniversary  of the  Effective  Date  ("Escrow
Period"),  on which date it shall,  upon written  instructions from each Initial
Stockholder,  disburse each of the Initial  Stockholder's  Escrow Shares to such
Initial Stockholder;  provided, however, that if the Escrow Agent is notified by
the Company  pursuant to Section 6.7 hereof that the Company is being liquidated
at any time  during the Escrow  Period,  then the Escrow  Agent  shall  promptly
destroy the  certificates  representing  the Escrow  Shares;  provided  further,
however, that if, after the Company consummates a Business  Combination,  it (or
the surviving  entity)  subsequently  consummates a liquidation,  merger,  stock
exchange or other similar  transaction  which results in all of the stockholders
of such entity  having the right to exchange  their  shares of Common  Stock for
cash, securities or other property,  then the Escrow Agent will, upon receipt of
a  certificate,  executed  by the Chief  Executive  Officer  or Chief  Financial
Officer of the Company, in form reasonably  acceptable to the Escrow Agent, that
such  transaction  is then being  consummated,  release the Escrow Shares to the
Initial  Stockholders  upon  consummation  of the  transaction  so that they can
similarly  participate.  The Escrow Agent shall have no further duties hereunder
after the  disbursement  or destruction of the Escrow Shares in accordance  with
this Section 3.

                                       1

      4.    Rights of Initial Stockholders in Escrow Shares.

            4.1   Voting  Rights as a  Stockholder.  Subject to the terms of the
Insider  Letter  described in Section 4.4 hereof and except as herein  provided,
the Initial Stockholders shall retain all of their rights as stockholders of the
Company during the Escrow Period,  including,  without limitation,  the right to
vote such shares.

            4.2   Dividends  and Other  Distributions  in  Respect of the Escrow
Shares.  During the Escrow Period, all dividends payable in cash with respect to
the Escrow Shares shall be paid to the Initial  Stockholders,  but all dividends
payable in stock or other  non-cash  property  ("Non-Cash  Dividends")  shall be
delivered to the Escrow Agent to hold in accordance  with the terms  hereof.  As
used herein,  the term "Escrow  Shares"  shall be deemed to include the Non-Cash
Dividends distributed thereon, if any.

            4.3   Restrictions on Transfer.  During the Escrow Period,  no sale,
transfer  or other  disposition  may be made of any or all of the Escrow  Shares
except (i) by gift to a member of Initial Stockholder's immediate family or to a
trust,  the  beneficiary  of which is an Initial  Stockholder  or a member of an
Initial  Stockholder's  immediate family,  (ii) by virtue of the laws of descent
and distribution upon death of any Initial  Stockholder,  or (iii) pursuant to a
qualified  domestic  relations order;  provided,  however,  that such permissive
transfers  may be  implemented  only upon the  respective  transferee's  written
agreement to be bound by the terms and  conditions of this  Agreement and of the
Insider Letter signed by the Initial Stockholder transferring the Escrow Shares.
During the Escrow Period,  the Initial  Stockholders shall not pledge or grant a
security  interest  in the Escrow  Shares or grant a security  interest in their
rights under this Agreement.

            4.4   Insider Letters. Each of the Initial Stockholders has executed
a letter agreement with the Shemano Group and the Company, dated as indicated on
EXHIBIT A hereto, and which is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement
("Insider  Letter"),  respecting  the rights  and  obligations  of such  Initial
Stockholder in certain  events,  including but not limited to the liquidation of
the Company.

      5.    Concerning the Escrow Agent.

            5.1   Good Faith Reliance.  The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for
any action  taken or omitted by it in good faith and in the  exercise of its own
best judgment,  and 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 Escrow  Agent),  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 Escrow Agent to be
genuine  and to be signed or  presented  by the proper  person or  persons.  The
Escrow  Agent  shall  not be bound  by any  notice  or  demand,  or any  waiver,
modification,  termination or rescission of this Agreement unless evidenced by a
writing delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and,
if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are  affected,  unless it shall have
given its prior written consent thereto.

            5.2   Indemnification.  The Escrow  Agent shall be  indemnified  and
held  harmless by the Company from and against any expenses,  including  counsel
fees and disbursements,  or loss suffered by the Escrow Agent in connection with
any  action,  suit or other  proceeding  involving  any claim  which in any way,
directly or indirectly, arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services
of the Escrow Agent hereunder, or the Escrow Shares held by it hereunder,  other
than expenses or losses arising from the gross negligence or willful  misconduct
of the Escrow Agent. Promptly after the receipt by the Escrow Agent of notice of
any demand or claim or the commencement of any action,  suit or proceeding,  the
Escrow Agent shall notify the other parties  hereto in writing.  In the event of
the  receipt of such  notice,  the Escrow  Agent,  in its sole  discretion,  may
commence  an action in the nature of  interpleader  in an  appropriate  court to
determine  ownership or  disposition  of the Escrow Shares or it may deposit the
Escrow  Shares  with the clerk of any  appropriate  court or it may  retain  the
Escrow Shares pending receipt of a final, non-appealable order of a court having
jurisdiction  over all of the parties  hereto  directing  to whom and under what
circumstances  the  Escrow  Shares  are  to  be  disbursed  and  delivered.  The
provisions  of this  Section  5.2 shall  survive in the event the  Escrow  Agent
resigns or is discharged pursuant to Sections 5.5 or 5.6 below.

            5.3   Compensation. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to reasonable
compensation  from the Company for all services  rendered by it  hereunder.  The
Escrow  Agent shall also be entitled to  reimbursement  from the Company for all
expenses paid or incurred by it in the  administration  of its duties  hereunder
including,  but not  limited to, all  counsel,  advisors'  and agents'  fees and
disbursements and all taxes or other governmental charges.

hereof,  the Company and the Initial  Stockholders  shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Escrow Agent such further  documents and  instruments and shall
do or cause to be done such further  acts as the Escrow  Agent shall  reasonably
request  to carry out more  effectively  the  provisions  and  purposes  of this
Agreement,  to  evidence  compliance  herewith  or to assure  itself  that it is
protected in acting hereunder.

            5.5   Resignation.  The  Escrow  Agent may resign at any time and be
discharged  from its duties as escrow  agent  hereunder  by its giving the other
parties  hereto written notice and such  resignation  shall become  effective as
hereinafter provided.  Such resignation shall become effective at such time that
the Escrow Agent shall turn over to a successor  escrow  agent  appointed by the
Company,  the  Escrow  Shares  held  hereunder.  If no new  escrow  agent  is so
appointed  within the sixty (60) day period  following the giving of such notice
of resignation, the Escrow Agent may deposit the Escrow Shares with any court it
reasonably deems appropriate.

            5.6   Discharge of Escrow  Agent.  The Escrow Agent shall resign and
be  discharged  from its duties as escrow  agent  hereunder  if so  requested in
writing at any time by the Company  and a majority of the Initial  Stockholders,
jointly,  provided,  however,  that such resignation shall become effective only
upon  acceptance  of  appointment  by a  successor  escrow  agent as provided in
Section 5.5.

            5.7   Liability.  Notwithstanding  anything  herein to the contrary,
the Escrow  Agent shall not be relieved  from  liability  hereunder  for its own
gross negligence or its own willful misconduct.
