The Company hereby further agrees to pay Sellers’ legal fees and expenses in connection with enforcement of Sellers’ rights under this Agreement.

 

(i)        Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

 

(j)        Execution and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement or any counterpart may be executed via facsimile transmission, and any such facsimile copy shall be treated as an original.

 

(k)       Trust Fund Waiver. The Company has approximately $40,181,685 (as of November 30, 2008) in a trust fund for the benefit of its public stockholders (the “Trust Fund”), invested in U.S. government securities in a trust account at JPMorgan Asset Management (Europe) (the “Trust Account”), held in trust by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”) pursuant to an Investment Management Trust Account Agreement between the Company and Trustee (the “Trust Agreement”). Seller hereby irrevocably waives any and all claims it may have, now or in the future against the Trust Fund (prior to the consummation of the Acquisition), and will not seek recourse against the Trust Fund for any reason whatsoever in respect thereof; provided, however, that each Seller shall maintain any rights it possesses as a shareholder of the Company during the period for which it continues to own Ordinary Shares of the Company, including its right to receive its proportion of its respective equity interest in the Trust Fund in the event that the Company is subsequently liquidated and dissolved.
