( 1 )The filing of this Form 4 shall not be construed as an admission that Fir Tree, L.L.C., Fir Tree, Inc. or Jeffrey Tannenbaum (collectively, the "Reporting Persons") is or was for the purposes of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise the beneficial owner of any of the shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of RLJ Acquisition, Inc. (the "Issuer") owned by Fir Tree Value Master Fund, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership ("Fir Tree Value"). Pursuant to Rule 16a-1, the Reporting Persons disclaim such beneficial ownership.

Fir Tree, L.L.C. receives a performance-based allocation and Fir Tree, Inc. receives an asset-based fee from Fir Tree Value.
