result of such distribution, or to any other amounts distributed in connection with a liquidating distribution of the Company with respect to its Initial Founders’ Shares, and hereby waives any Claim the undersigned may have now or in the
future as a result of, or arising out of, any contracts or agreements with the Company, and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any IPO Shares acquired by the
undersigned. The undersigned hereby agrees that the Company shall be entitled to reimbursement from the undersigned for any distribution of the Trust Account or any other amounts distributed by the Company in connection with a liquidating
distribution received by the undersigned in respect of any Initial Founders’ Shares. 
 3. The undersigned agrees not to sell or
transfer any Initial Founders’ Shares that it currently owns or may acquire hereafter for a period of one year from the date of the completion of the Initial Business Combination except to a Permitted Transferee who agrees in writing with the
Company to be subject to such transfer restrictions. 
 4. The undersigned agrees that any Founders’ Warrants that it currently owns or
may acquire hereafter and any shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereof, are subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

connection with seeking and consummating an Initial Business Combination. 
 7. Neither the undersigned nor any affiliate of the undersigned
will accept a finder’s fee, consulting fee or any other compensation or fees from any

such Initial Business Combination. 
 8. The undersigned represents and warrants that, except as described in the Registration Statement,
there are no claims, payments, arrangements, contracts, agreements or understandings relating to the payment of a brokerage commission or finder’s, consulting, origination or similar fee by such holder with respect to the sale of the securities
pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement or any other arrangements, agreements or understandings by such holder or such director or officer that may affect the Underwriters’ compensation, as determined by the NASD. 
 9. The undersigned’s NASD questionnaire furnished to the Company and the Underwriters and attached hereto as Exhibit A is true and accurate in all
respects. The undersigned represents and warrants that:

the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 This letter agreement shall be binding
on the undersigned and such person’s respective successors, personal representatives and assigns. This letter agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the consummation of an Initial Business Combination and (ii) the Liquidation

 This letter agreement shall be governed by and interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts formed and to be performed entirely within the State of New York,
without regard to the conflicts of law provisions thereof to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

“Units”), each composed of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and one warrant, which is exercisable for one share of Common Stock (the “Warrants”). Certain
capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 14 hereof. 
 In order to induce the Company and the Underwriters to enter into the
Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the IPO, and in recognition of the benefit that such IPO will confer upon the undersigned officer and/or director of the Company, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees with the Company as follows: 
 1. If the Company seeks approval of its
stockholders of an Initial Business Combination, the undersigned will vote any IPO Shares owned directly or indirectly by it in favor of the Initial Business Combination. In addition, in connection with the shareholder vote required to approve the
Initial Business Combination, the undersigned hereby expressly agrees to vote any Initial Founders’ Shares held by him or her in accordance with a majority of the shares of common stock voted by holders of IPO shares. 
 2. In the event that the Company fails to consummate an Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the effective date (the “Effective
Date”) of the registration statement relating to the IPO (the “Registration 

  

 1 

 
Statement”), the undersigned will take all reasonable actions within his or her power to (a) cause the Trust Account to be liquidated and
distributed to the holders of the IPO Shares as soon as reasonably practicable and (b) cause the Company to liquidate as soon as reasonably practicable (the earliest date on which the conditions in clauses (a) and (b) are both
satisfied being the “Liquidation Date”). The undersigned hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind (any “Claim”), in or to any distributions of the Trust Account as a result of such distribution, or to
any other amounts distributed in connection with a liquidating distribution of the Company with respect to its Initial Founders’ Shares, and hereby waives any Claim the undersigned may have now or in the future as a result of, or arising out
of, any contracts or agreements with the Company, and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any IPO Shares acquired by the undersigned. The undersigned hereby
agrees that the Company shall be entitled to reimbursement from the undersigned for any distribution of the Trust Account or any other amounts distributed by the Company in connection with a liquidating distribution received by the undersigned in
respect of any Initial Founders’ Shares. The undersigned also agrees that in connection with any cessation of corporate existence of the Company on
                    , 2009, he or she will cause the Company to adopt a plan of dissolution and distribution in accordance with
Section 281(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law or any successor provision thereto. 
 3. The undersigned agrees not to sell or

with the Company to be subject to such transfer restrictions. 
 4. The undersigned agrees that any Founders’ Warrants that he or she
currently owns or may acquire hereafter and any shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereof, are subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Warrant Agreement. 
 5. [(a) The undersigned agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, jointly and severally with the other parties who have provided such an
indemnity, against claims made by third parties, but only if, and to the extent, the claims reduce the amounts in the Trust Account available for payment to holders of the IPO Shares in the event of a liquidation and the claims are made by a vendor
for services rendered, or products sold, to the Company, or by a prospective target business arising out of any negotiations, contracts or agreements with the Company, provided that such indemnity shall not apply to any claimed amounts owed
to a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to the Trust Account, or as to any claims 

  

 2 

 
under the Company’s obligation to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”). To the extent there is no accrued interest (in an amount of up to $75,000) available from the Trust Account to pay the Company’s costs and expenses associated with implementing its plan of dissolution
and liquidation, or should those funds be insufficient to pay such costs, all as described in the Registration Statement, the undersigned further agrees to reimburse the Company for its out-of-pocket costs associated with its dissolution and
liquidation, excluding any special, indirect or consequential costs, such as litigation, pertaining to the dissolution and liquidation.] 1

reimbursement from the Company for his or her out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with seeking and consummating an Initial Business Combination. 
 8. Neither the undersigned, nor any member of the family of the undersigned nor any affiliate of the undersigned will accept a finder’s fee, consulting fee or any other compensation or fees from any other entity
in connection with an Initial Business Combination, other than any compensation or fees that may be received for any services provided following such Initial Business Combination.
