This Agreement is made as of ___________, 2006 by and between Crossfire Capital Corporation (the "Company") and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the "Trustee").

 

WHEREAS, the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1, No. 333-______ (the "Registration Statement"), for its initial public offering of securities (the "IPO") has been declared effective as of the date hereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Effective Date");

 

WHEREAS, Ferris, Baker Watts, Incorporated (“FBW”) is acting as the representative of the underwriters in the IPO;

 

WHEREAS, as described in the Company's Registration Statement, $57,750,000 of the gross proceeds of the IPO as herein provided ($66,300,000) if the underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full) will be delivered to the Trustee to be deposited and held in a trust account for the benefit of the Company, FBW and the holders of the Company's common stock, par value $.0001 per share, issued in the IPO (the amount to be delivered to the Trustee will be referred to herein as the "Property"; the stockholders for whose benefit the Trustee shall hold the Property will be referred to as the "Public Stockholders," and the Public Stockholders, FBW and the Company will be referred to together as the "Beneficiaries") and in the event the securities offered in the IPO are registered in Colorado, pursuant to Section 11-51-302(6) of the Colorado Revised Statutes (the “CRS”). A copy of Section 11-51-302(6) of the CRS is attached hereto and made a part hereof;

 

WHEREAS, a portion of the Property consists of $1,350,000 (or $1,350,000 if the underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full) attributable to the underwriter's discount and non-accountable expenses allowance which FBW has agreed to deposit in the Trust Account (defined below); and

 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Trustee desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Trustee shall hold the Property.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.   AGREEMENTS AND COVENANTS OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee hereby agrees and covenants to:

 

(a)   hold the Property in trust for the Beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the terms of Section 11-51-302(6) of the CRS, in a segregated trust account (the "Trust Account") established by the Trustee at a branch of Lehman Brothers Inc. selected by the Trustee;

 

(b)   manage, supervise and administer the Trust Account subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;


 

(c)   in a timely manner, upon the instruction of the Company, to invest and reinvest the Property in any "Government Security." As used herein, Government Security means any Treasury Bill issued by the United States, having a maturity of one hundred and eighty days or less;

 

(d)   collect and receive, when due, all principal and income arising from the Property, which shall become part of the "Property," as such term is used herein;

 

(e)   notify the Company and FBW of all communications received by it with respect to any Property requiring action by the Company;

 

(f)   supply any necessary information or documents as may be requested by the Company in connection with the Company's preparation of the tax returns for the Trust Account;

 

(g)   participate in any plan or proceeding for protecting or enforcing any right or interest arising from the Property if, as and when instructed by the written instructions of the Company to do so;

 

(h)   render to the Company and to FBW, and to such other person as the Company may instruct, monthly written statements of the activities of and amounts in the Trust Account reflecting all receipts and disbursements of the Trust Account;

 

(i)   as of the date of the consummation of a business combination (the “Business Combination”), commence liquidation of the Trust Account upon receipt of the Officers’ Certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and in accordance with the terms of a letter (the "Termination Letter"), in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit A , signed on behalf of the Company by its President, Chief Financial Officer or Chairman of the Board and Secretary or Assistant Secretary. The Trustee shall complete the liquidation of the Trust Account and distribute the Property in the Trust Account to the Beneficiaries as directed in the Termination Letter and the other documents referred to therein. The Trustee understands and agrees that disbursements from the Trust Account shall be made only pursuant to a duly executed Termination Letter, together with the other documents referenced herein, including, without limitation, an independently certified oath and report of inspector of election in respect of the shareholder vote in favor of the Business Combination. In all cases, the Trustee shall provide FBW with a copy of any Termination Letters, Officers’ Certificates and/or any other correspondence that it receives with respect to any proposed withdrawal from the Trust Account promptly after it receives same; and

 

(j)   as of the date, 18 months from the date of this Agreement (the “LOI Termination Date”) (or 24 months from the date hereof in the event the Company has executed the Letter of Intent (defined below) prior to the LOI Termination Date, but failed to consummate a Business Combination (the “Second Termination Date”)), commence liquidation of the Trust Account. The Trustee, upon consultation with the Company and FBW, shall deliver a notice to Public Stockholders of record as of the LOI Termination Date or Second Termination Date, whichever the case may be, by U.S. mail or via the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), within five days of the LOI Termination Date or Second Termination Date, to notify the Public Stockholders of such event and take such other actions as it may deem necessary to inform the Beneficiaries. The Trustee shall deliver to each Public Stockholder its ratable share of the Property against satisfactory evidence of delivery of the stock certificates through DTC, its Deposit Withdraw Agent Commission (DWAC) system or as otherwise presented to the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee receives a bona fide, executed letter of intent or engagement letter (the “Letter of Intent”) for a Business Combination prior to the LOI Termination Date accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate as described in Section 2(e) hereof, then the Trustee shall forego or suspend any liquidation of the Trust Account until the earlier of a Business Combination or the Second Termination Date.
