NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
 
1.           Option.  Seller hereby sells to Buyer and Buyer hereby purchases from Seller, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, at a price of *** per Share (the “Option Price”), an option (the “Purchase Option”) to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Shares from Seller at any time prior to the Termination of this Agreement.  On execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall pay to the order of Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the instructions set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, the aggregate Option Price.  Seller shall have confirmed none of the Shares are being lent by Seller, an affiliate of Seller (as such term is defined in Section 501(b) of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended) or Seller’s broker, to any third party immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement.
 
2.           Purchase.  If the Buyer exercises the Purchase Option in accordance with Section 4 then at the Closing (as defined hereinafter), Seller shall sell to Buyer and Buyer shall purchase from Seller, the Shares at a price per share (the “Purchase Price”) equal to that certain pro rata portion of the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Amount”) due its public stockholders as set forth in the Company’s final definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the Business Combination.
 
3.           Agreement to Vote and Redeem prior to Exercise of the Purchase Option.
 
(a)           Vote Against; Redemption.  In further consideration of the Option Price and unless withdrawn and revoked pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Seller hereby agrees that within 1 business day after execution of this Agreement, Seller will send an electronic and written instruction through its prime broker holding the Shares requesting the prime broker to: (i) exercise its Redemption Rights, (ii) vote the Shares against the Business Combination, and (iii) vote the Shares against any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, each in the manner set forth in the Company’s respective proxy statement(s) filed with the SEC, as applicable and in a timely manner provided, further, that in all applicable cases, Seller shall take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by Buyer.
 
(b)           Prior Votes.  If Seller has already voted in connection with any such Business Combination or amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, Seller shall either (i) send an electronic and written instruction through its prime broker holding the Shares requesting the prime broker to withdraw and revoke Seller’s vote in favor of such Business Combination or amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the Shares or (ii) continue to vote the Shares, against any Business Combination or amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation; provided, further, that in all applicable cases, Seller shall exercise, or continue to exercise, its Redemption Rights in accordance with the proxy statement(s) and take such other actions in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by Buyer.

(c)           Appointment of Proxy.
 
(i)           Subject to the limitations of Section 3(c)(ii), Seller hereby appoints Kenneth J. Abdalla as its true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to vote all of the Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  The proxy and power of attorney granted herein shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable, and shall survive the death, disability, incompetency, bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of Seller. Furthermore, Seller will, from time to time as reasonably requested by Buyer, execute and deliver such further instruments, ancillary agreements or other documents or take such other actions as may be necessary or advisable to give effect to, confirm, evidence or effectuate the purposes of the proxy granted by this Section 3(c).  Upon the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 10, this Section 3(c) shall be of no further force and effect.
 
(ii)           This Section 3(c) shall become effective only if: (i) Seller fails to vote the Shares in accordance with this Agreement, and/or (ii) Buyer notifies Seller of its intent to exercise the Purchase Option in accordance with Section 4 and payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price has been made to the Escrow Agent (as defined in Section 5).
 
(d)           Evidence of Vote.  Seller shall provide further evidence of both (i) its vote against any such Business Combination or amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation, and (ii) its exercise of Redemption Rights, within one (1) business day of any reasonable request by Buyer for such evidence.
 
4.           Exercise of Purchase Option.  Buyer shall exercise the Purchase Option by delivering to Seller written notice, by electronic mail, facsimile or otherwise, at the address set forth in Section 20, such that it is received by Seller (i) at least two business days prior to the Meeting or any stockholder vote taken by written consent or (ii) at least one business day prior to the date set by Seller’s prime broker as the date it must receive votes with respect to the Meeting or any stockholder vote taken by written consent (the later of (i) or (ii), the “Minimum Exercise Time”), containing (A) an acknowledgement of Buyer’s intent to exercise the Purchase Option and (B) whether Seller should vote the Shares in favor of, against or abstain from voting upon, each proposal to be presented at the Meeting or upon any such action by written consent.  The exercisability of the Purchase Option shall terminate in accordance with Section 10 hereof.
 
5.           Agreement to Vote upon Exercise of the Purchase Option.  Upon the exercise of the Purchase Option and receipt by the mutually agreed upon escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) of: (i) the Aggregate Purchase Price and (ii) a letter in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto: Seller shall send an electronic and written instruction through its prime broker holding the Shares requesting the prime broker to: (1) withdraw and revoke its exercise of Redemption Rights and (2) vote in favor of, or abstain from voting upon, the Business Combination and the other proposals set forth in the Proxy Statement and/or any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation and take such other actions in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by Buyer.  Until such time the Shares have settled in the account specified by Buyer, Seller shall promptly execute all necessary documents and take all actions as, in each case, are reasonably requested by Buyer in furtherance of such required action and revocation, with respect to the proposals to be submitted (i) by written consent of the stockholders of Company, or (ii) at the special (or annual) meeting, or adjournment thereof, each as called for by the Company or the consenting stockholders to vote upon (A) the Business Combination or (B) any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (the “Meeting”).  If, (i) Buyer exercises the Purchase Option prior to the expiration of the Minimum Exercise Time and Seller does not comply with the provisions of Section 5 as a result of circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Seller then Buyer’s sole remedy shall be the return of the Option Price and the Aggregate Purchase Price received by the Seller from the Escrow Agent or Buyer (if any) for such subject Shares within one (1) business day of the Meeting and Seller shall not be obliged to deliver such subject Shares to Buyer pursuant to Section 6, or (ii) if Buyer exercises the Purchase Option after the expiration of the Minimum Exercise Time, then Seller shall use reasonable efforts to comply with this Section 5; provided, however, Seller shall have no liability whatsoever in connection therewith and should Seller be unable to comply with this Section 5, Seller shall not be obliged to deliver any non-complying Shares to Buyer pursuant to Section 6.

(a)           Closing.  If Buyer exercises the Purchase Option, the closing of the purchase and sale of the Shares (“Closing”) will occur simultaneously with the delivery of the Shares pursuant to Section 6(b).
 
(b)           Closing Procedures.   As soon as reasonably practicable and in any event, within one (1) business day after the exercise of the Purchase Option and the Escrow Agent’s confirmation of receipt of the Aggregate Purchase Price and a letter substantially in the form of Exhibit B, Seller shall deliver the Shares to Buyer electronically to an account specified by Buyer.  Upon the settlement of the Shares, the Escrow Agent shall pay to the order of Seller the aggregate Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by Seller in accordance with Exhibit B.  It shall be a condition to the obligation of Buyer on the one hand and Seller on the other hand, to consummate the transfer of the Shares contemplated hereunder that the other party’s representations and warranties are true and correct as of the Closing with the same effect as though made on such date, unless waived in writing by the party to whom such representations and warranties are made.
 
7.           Representations and Warranties of the Seller.  Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer on the date hereof and on the Closing that:
 
(a)           Sophisticated Seller.  Seller is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits attendant to the sale of Shares to Buyer.
 
(b)           Independent Investigation.  Seller, in making the decision to sell the Shares to Buyer, has not relied upon any oral or written representations or assurances from Buyer or any of its officers, directors or employees or any other representatives or agents of Buyer.  Seller has had access to all of the filings made by the Company with the SEC, pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in each case to the extent available publicly via the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system.
