AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

ZI TOPRUN ACQUISITION CORP.

Purpose

The purposes of the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors (“Board”) of ZI TOPRUN ACQUISITION CORP., a Delaware corporation (“Company”) are to assist the Board in monitoring: (1) the integrity of the annual, quarterly, and other financial statements of the Company, (2) the independent auditor’s qualifications and independence, (3) the performance of the Company’s independent auditor, and (4) the compliance by the Company with legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee also shall review and approve all related-party transactions.

The Audit Committee shall prepare the report required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) to be included in the Company’s annual proxy statement.

Committee Membership

The Committee shall consist of three or more directors, each of whom shall satisfy the independence, financial literacy, and other qualifications required by Section 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”), subject to any phase-in periods or cure periods permitted by Rule 10A-3(b)(1)(iv)(A) under the Exchange Act and the Nasdaq listing standards. At least one member of the Committee shall be an “audit committee financial expert” (as defined by the SEC). Determinations of independence, financial literacy, experience and expertise shall be made by the Board as the Board interprets such qualifications in its business judgment.

Members of the Committee shall be appointed by the Board on the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee or a majority of the independent directors. Members of the Committee may be removed at any time by action of the Board; provided, however, that if removing a member or members of the Committee would cause the Committee to have fewer than three members, then the Board must, based upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or a majority of the independent directors, at the same time appoint enough additional members to the Committee so that the Committee will have at least three qualified members. The Committee’s chairperson shall be designated by the Board on the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee or a majority of the independent directors or, if not so designated, the members of the Committee shall elect a chairperson by a vote of the majority of the full Committee. The Chairman of the Audit Committee shall be a member of the Audit Committee and, if present, shall preside at each meeting of the Audit Committee. The Chairman shall advise and counsel with the executives of the Company, and shall perform such other duties as may from time to time be assigned to him by the Audit Committee or the Board of Directors.

Meetings

The Audit Committee shall meet as often as it determines, but not less frequently than quarterly. The Audit Committee shall meet periodically with management and the independent auditor in separate executive sessions. The Audit Committee may request any officer or employee of the Company or the Company’s outside counsel or independent auditor to attend a meeting of the Audit Committee or to meet with any members of, or consultants to, the Audit Committee.
