6.     The text of Article TWELFTH, Subsection B is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows:

 

“B.     Immediately after the Offering, a certain amount of the net offering proceeds received by the Corporation in the Offering (including the proceeds of any exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option) and certain other amounts specified in the Corporation’s registration statement on Form S-1, as initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 22, 2018, as amended (the “Registration Statement”), shall be deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), established for the benefit of the Public Stockholders (as defined below) pursuant to a trust agreement described in the Registration Statement. Except for the withdrawal of interest to pay (i) income or other tax obligations, (ii) up to $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support, and (iii) up to $50,000 for liquidation expenses, none of the funds held in the Trust Account (including the interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account) will be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of shares in connection with a vote seeking to amend any provisions of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity (as described in subsection L hereof) or (iii) the redemption of 100% of the Offering Shares (as defined below) if the Corporation is unable to complete its initial Business Combination on or before 5:00 p.m., Houston time, on August 21, 2020, or such earlier date as determined by the Board. Holders of shares of the Common Stock included as part of the units sold in the Offering (the “Offering Shares”) (whether such Offering Shares were purchased in the Offering or in the secondary market following the Offering and whether or not such holders are affiliates of the Sponsor) are referred to herein as “Public Stockholders.”
