Each Warrant evidences the right of the holder thereof to purchase one ordinary share for $10.00, subject to adjustment, as described in the Warrant Agreement dated as of __________, 2012 by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Warrant Agent; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Placement Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of ____________, 2012, among the Company and the Initial Shareholders, the Company will issue [_____] warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to purchase ordinary shares in a private placement that will occur immediately prior to the closing of the IPO (the “Private Placement”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of ____________, 2012, (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) among the Company, Chardan, PrinceRidge and Maxim, the Company will issue 170,000 ordinary shares (the “Underwriter Shares”) in a private placement that will occur immediately prior to the closing of the IPO (the “Underwriter Share Purchase”);

WHEREAS, the Initial Shareholders have agreed, as a condition of the Underwriters’ obligation to purchase the Units pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and to offer them to the public, to deposit all of the Class C Shares (the “Insider Shares”) owned by the Initial Shareholders prior to the consummation of the Public Offering and the Private Placement in escrow as hereinafter provided; and

WHEREAS, Chardan, PrinceRidge and Maxim have agreed, as a condition to the purchase of the Underwriter Shares, to deposit all of the Underwriter Shares (the Insider Shares and Underwriter Shares, collectively, the “Escrow Securities”; provided, however, that if Chardan does not exercise the over-allotment option in full, the Escrow Securities will equal such lesser amount as remains after the cancellation of such Insider Shares held in escrow pursuant to Section 3.1), in escrow as hereinafter provided; and

WHEREAS, the Company, the Initial Shareholders, Chardan, PrinceRidge and Maxim desire that the Escrow Agent accept the Escrow Securities, in escrow, to be held and disbursed as hereinafter provided.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:

1.             Appointment of Escrow Agent.  The Company, the Initial Shareholders, Chardan, PrinceRidge and Maxim hereby appoint the Escrow Agent to act in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to act in accordance with and subject to such terms.

2.             Deposit of Escrow Securities.  Prior to the date of the consummation of the Private Placement and the Public Offering, the Initial Shareholders, Chardan, PrinceRidge and Maxim shall deliver to the Escrow Agent certificates representing his or her respective Escrow Securities to be held and disbursed subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  The Initial Shareholders, Chardan, PrinceRidge and Maxim acknowledge and agree that the certificates representing their respective Escrow Securities will be legended to reflect the deposit of such Escrow Securities under this Agreement.

3.             Disbursement of the Escrow Securities.

3.1             The Escrow Securities.  The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Securities listed under “Share Escrow” on Schedule A until it receives a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company stating that 24 months have elapsed from the effective date of the Company’s registration statement relating the Public Offering (the “Escrow Period”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Escrow Period shall be extended if the Company has completed an Acquisition Transaction without liquidating the trust account established at the time of the Public Offering, until such trust account has been liquidated as described in the prospectus relating to the Public Offering.  Following the termination of the Escrow Period, the Escrow Agent shall, upon written instructions from each of the Initial Shareholders, Chardan, PrinceRidge, Maxim and/or their Permitted Transferees (as defined in Section 4.3 below), as applicable, disburse the applicable Escrow Securities to the Initial Shareholders, Chardan, PrinceRidge, Maxim and/or such Permitted Transferees; provided however, that if, after the Company consummates an Acquisition Transaction, it (or the surviving entity) subsequently consummates a liquidation, merger, share exchange or if there is a tender offer for the Company’s securities, or other similar transaction which results in all of the shareholders of such entity having the right to exchange their Escrow Securities for cash, securities or other property, then the Escrow Agent will, upon receipt of a certificate, executed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company, in form reasonably acceptable to the Escrow Agent, stating that such transaction is then being consummated, release the Escrow Securities to the Initial Shareholders, Chardan, PrinceRidge, Maxim or their Permitted Transferees immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction so that they can similarly participate; provided further, that if the Escrow Agent is notified by the Company pursuant to Section 6.7 hereof that the Company is being liquidated at any time during the Escrow Period, then the Escrow Agent shall promptly destroy the certificates representing the Escrow Securities; and provided further, that if the Escrow Agent is notified by the Company that Chardan did not exercise its over-allotment option (as further described in the Registration Statement) or exercised it in part, an amount such that the remaining Insider Shares included in the Escrow Securities shall not exceed 20% of the sum of the Insider Shares and the shares sold in the Public Offering (but in no event more than [_____] Insider Shares) shall be forfeited by the Initial Shareholders and any Permitted Transferee and cancelled by the Company and the Escrow Agent shall promptly destroy the certificates representing such Insider Shares. For purposes of this Agreement, an “Acquisition Transaction” shall mean an acquisition of one or more operating businesses by a merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase or other similar acquisition transaction, or control and pursuant to which holders of Units sold in the Public Offering have been granted redemption rights with respect to such Units.

3.2             Company Covenants.  The Company hereby covenants and agrees to (i) cause its officers to act in good faith regarding the release of the Escrow Securities pursuant to Section 3.1, and (ii) to promptly release the Escrow Securities after the end of the Escrow Period.
