Administrative Services Agreement
The Company has agreed, commencing on May 12, 2022, to pay Sponsor A up to $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and shared personnel support services. However, pursuant to the terms of such agreement, the Company may delay payment of such monthly fee upon a determination by the audit committee that there are insufficient funds held outside the trust to pay actual or anticipated expenses in connection with the initial business combination. Any such unpaid amount will accrue without interest and be due and payable no later than the date of the consummation of the initial business combination. This arrangement will terminate upon the earlier of (a) completion of an initial business combination or (b) twelve months after the completion of the IPO. The Company incurred $106,129 and $76,129, respectively, in fees for these services, of which $106,129 and $76,129 were included in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
