NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES
 
Terminated Transaction Fee Arrangements
 
The Company entered into fee arrangements with certain service providers and advisors pursuant to which certain fees incurred by the Company in connection with a Terminated Business Combination would be deferred and become payable only if the Company consummated such Terminated Business Combination. If the Terminated Business Combination did not occur, the Company would not be required to pay these contingent fees. Effective October 26, 2015, all efforts related to such Terminated Business Combination were terminated and, accordingly, all contingent fees that had been previously incurred are no longer due or payable.
 
Potential Transaction Fee Arrangements
 
The Company has entered into fee arrangements with certain service providers and advisors pursuant to which certain fees incurred by the Company in connection with another potential Business Combination will be deferred and become payable only if the Company consummates such potential Business Combination. If the potential Business Combination does not occur, the Company will not be required to pay these contingent fees. As of June 30, 2016, the Company incurred approximately $811,000 of fees, of which approximately $60,000 has been paid, approximately $495,000 is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed balance sheet and $256,000 has not been accrued since it is contingent upon the closing of the proposed Business Combination. The Company anticipates incurring a significant amount of additional costs. There can be no assurances that the Company will complete this or any other Business Combination.
 
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. The Company paid $30,000 in fees during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and paid $60,000 in fees during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.
 
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 were 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.
