NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES
 
Administrative Services Agreement
 
The Company entered into an Administrative Services Agreement commencing on October 24, 2014 pursuant to which the Company pays an affiliate of the Hydra Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial support. Upon the completion of a Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees.
 
Related Party Loans
 
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsors have each committed $250,000, for an aggregate of $500,000, in accordance with the unsecured promissory notes the Company will issue to the Sponsors pursuant to an expense advance agreement between the Company and the Sponsors, to be provided to the Company in the event that funds held outside of the Trust Account are insufficient to fund its expenses after the Initial Public Offering and prior to a Business Combination (including investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements) and the Sponsors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company additional funds as may be required. If the Company consummates a Business Combination, the Company expects to repay such non-interest bearing loaned amounts. In the event that the Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,000,000 of all loans made to the Company are convertible at the option of the lender into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $0.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.
 
Contingent Forward Purchase Contract
 
On October 24, 2014, the Macquarie Sponsor entered into a contingent forward purchase contract with the Company (the “Contingent Forward Purchase Contract”) to purchase, in a private placement for gross proceeds of approximately $20,000,000 to occur concurrently with the consummation of the Business Combination, 2,000,000 Units on the same terms as the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering at $10.00 per Unit (which includes 2,000,000 rights which will be exchanged for 200,000 shares of Common Stock) (“Private Placement Units”), and 500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock on the same terms as the sale of the founder shares to the Sponsors prior to the Initial Public Offering (“Private Placement Shares”). The funds from the sale of the Private Placement Units and the Private Placement Shares will be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the Business Combination; any excess funds from the Private Placement Units will be used for working capital in the post-transaction company. This commitment is independent of the percentage of stockholders electing to redeem their public shares.
 
As a closing condition to the Contingent Forward Purchase Contract, the Company has agreed not to consummate a Business Combination without the Macquarie Sponsor’s consent; provided, however, that if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period, and the Company’s board of directors (other than the Macquarie Sponsor designee) unanimously votes in favor of a proposed Business Combination and the Macquarie Sponsor decides to withhold its vote on the Business Combination, the Macquarie Sponsor will be, subject to customary conditions, obligated to pay a $740,000 fee to the Hydra Sponsor. In such event, the Private Placement Warrants purchased by the Macquarie Sponsor and the Hydra Sponsor will expire worthless. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Macquarie Sponsor withholds consent to consummate a Business Combination because of regulatory reasons or the Business Combination involves a competitor to the Macquarie Sponsor, its affiliates, or an entity in which the Macquarie Sponsor or an affiliate has an equity interest, then the Macquarie Sponsor is not obligated to pay the $740,000 fee, the Company may proceed with such Business Combination, the Macquarie Sponsor will be permitted to sell its Private Placement Warrants and founder shares (provided that the transferee agrees to be bound by the transfer restrictions, lock-up provisions, registration rights, voting obligations and other such restrictions and rights of the transferred Private Placement Warrants and founder shares), the Hydra Sponsor will use its best efforts to facilitate a sale of the Macquarie Sponsor’s Private Placement Warrants and founder shares, and the term of the Macquarie Sponsor’s nominee for the Board of Directors will automatically terminate and such board seat will remain vacant until filled by a successor duly appointed by the Hydra Sponsor.
 
Right of First Refusal
 
Pursuant to an agreement dated October 24, 2014, the Company has granted Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc. (“Macquarie Capital”), an affiliate of the Macquarie Sponsor, a right of first refusal for a period of 36 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to provide certain financial advisory, underwriting, capital raising, and other services for which they may receive fees. The amount of fees the Company pays to Macquarie Capital will be based upon the prevailing market for similar services rendered by global full-service investment banks for such transactions, and will be subject to the review of the Company’s Audit Committee pursuant to the Audit Committee’s policies and procedures relating to transactions that may present conflicts of interest.
 
Registration Rights
 
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on October 24, 2014 with the Company’s initial stockholders and purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants and the Contingent Forward Purchase Contract, the Company is required to register certain securities for sale under the Securities Act. Each of the Sponsors will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities for sale under the Securities Act and to have the securities covered thereby registered for resale pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by the Company. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable Lock Up Period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
 
Underwriting Agreement
 
The underwriters are entitled to an underwriting discount of up to 6.0%, of which two and one-half percent (2.5%), or $2,000,000, was paid in cash at the closing of the Initial Public Offering on October 29, 2014, and up to three and one-half percent (3.5%), or $2,800,000, has been deferred. The deferred fee will be payable in cash upon the closing of a Business Combination. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
