fees, reimbursements or
         cash payments" made by you to your sponsor, directors or officers, or
any of their
         affiliates other than what appears in the bullet points on page 31.
Please revise to clarify
         how you distinguish between activities traditionally compensated as
finders fees from the
         reimbursement in the carve-out bullet point for "identifying,
investigating, negotiating and
         completing an initial business combination." Please also clarify
whether any material
         private placement advisory services or other material fees associated
with the initial
         business combination fall under the introductory statement or the
exceptions in the bullet
         points.
