                      INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TRUST AGREEMENT
 
                  This Agreement is made as of ___________, 2005 by and between
International Metal Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company") and Continental Stock
Transfer & Trust Company ("Trustee").
 
                  WHEREAS, the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1, No.
333-_______ ("Registration Statement"), for its initial public offering of
securities ("IPO") has been declared effective as of the date hereof by the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("Effective Date"); and
 
                  WHEREAS, Sunrise Securities Corp. ("Sunrise") is acting as the
representative of the underwriters in the IPO; and
 
                  WHEREAS, as described in the Company's Registration Statement,
and in accordance with the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, $164,850,000
of the gross proceeds of the IPO ($190,230,000 if the underwriters
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 and the
holders of the Company's common stock, par value $.0001 per share, issued in the
IPO as hereinafter provided and in the event the Units are registered in
Colorado, pursuant to Section 11-51-302(6) of the Colorado Revised Statutes. A
copy of the Colorado Statute is attached hereto and made a part hereof (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 and the Company will be referred to together as the
"Beneficiaries"); 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;
 
                  IT IS AGREED:
 
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 the terms of Section
11-51-302(6) of the Colorado Statute, in a segregated trust account ("Trust
Account") established by the Trustee at a branch of JPMorgan Chase NY Bank
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) Promptly notify the Company 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 Company to do so;
 
                  (h) Render to the Company and to Sunrise, 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; and
 
                  (i) Commence liquidation of the Trust Account only after
receipt of and only in accordance with the terms of a letter ("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 Chief Executive
Officer or President and Secretary, and complete the liquidation of the Trust
Account and distribute the Property in the Trust Account only as directed in the
Termination Letter and the other documents referred to therein.
 
2.  Agreements and Covenants of the Company. The Company hereby agrees and
covenants to:
 
                  (a) Give all instructions to the Trustee hereunder in writing,
signed by the Company's Chief Executive Officer or President. In addition,
except with respect to its duties under paragraph 1(i) above, the Trustee shall
be entitled to rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, any verbal or
telephonic advice or instruction which it in good faith believes to be given by
any one of the persons authorized above to give written instructions, provided
that the Company shall promptly confirm such instructions in writing;
 
                  (b) Hold the Trustee harmless and indemnify the Trustee from
and against, any and all expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and
disbursements, or loss suffered by the Trustee in connection with any action,
suit or other proceeding brought against the Trustee involving any claim, or in
connection with any claim or demand which in any way arises out of or relates to
this Agreement, the services of the Trustee hereunder, or the Property or any
income earned from investment of the Property, except for expenses and losses
resulting from the Trustee's gross 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; and
 
                  (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 on the 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 Fund. 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).
 
3.  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 paragraph 1 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

compliance with paragraph 1(c);
 
                  (d) Refund any depreciation in principal of any Property;

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; and
 
                  (h) Pay any taxes on behalf of the Trust Account (it being
expressly understood that the Property shall not be used to pay any such taxes
and that such taxes, if any, shall be paid by the Company from funds not held in
the Trust Account).
 
4.  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
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;
 
                  (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); or
 
                  (c) On such date after _________, 2006 when the Trustee
deposits the Property with the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York in the event that, prior to such date, the Trustee has not
received a Termination Letter from the Company pursuant to paragraph 1(i).
