Such engagement shall be on terms on and conditions to be set forth in a separate written agreement, which agreement will be based on Cantor’s customary form for similar engagements, and in any event shall provide for a fee payable to Cantor upon the closing of any business combination relating to such engagement of $3.8 million. Such right shall not extend to any capital raising transaction following the consummation of Dune’s initial business combination.
