If funds held in the Trust Account are released to the Client, interest or dividends earned on such funds up to the date of release may be released to the Client.
	(f)	The Client may receive up to 10% of the proceeds remaining after payment of underwriting commissions, underwriting expenses and dealer allowances permitted by Rule 419(b)(2)(i) of the Securities Act exclusive of interest or dividends, as those proceeds are deposited into the Trust Account.

The identity of the Beneficiary shall be included on the stock certificates or other documents evidencing such securities.
