This letter is being delivered to

“Company”), Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Deutsche
Bank Securities Inc., as representatives (the
“Representatives”) of the underwriters named in
Schedule I thereto (the “Underwriters”), relating to an
underwritten initial public offering (the “IPO”) of the
Company’s units (the “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 11 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:

Combination within 24 months from the effective date (the

the Company to liquidate as soon as reasonably practicable (the

both satisfied being the “Liquidation Date”). The
undersigned agrees that in
connection with any cessation of

in accordance with Section 281(b) of the Delaware General
Corporation Law or any successor provision thereto.
2. [(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 and the
Private Placement 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 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”).
