delivered a Termination Letter to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust
Company, its Trustee, in which it has informed Continental that it will not
complete a business combination within the time frame specified in the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation. The letter instructs Continental
to commence liquidation of the Trust Account as promptly as practicable.
Continental has also been appointed as Arcade's Paying Agent, and in such
capacity has been instructed to distribute the proceeds as promptly after
May 21, 2009 as practicable to the stockholders of record on such date.
Upon the payment of all the funds in the Trust Account, the Trust Agreement

Account as of the record date, when such funds are determined not to be
