What is a Power Of Attorney Agreement?
A power of attorney agreement is a legal document that allows one person to make decisions for another. This can be done in general or specific cases, and there are two types: limited and durable. The former only covers the scope given within the contract, while the latter has no expiration date.
When making business deals, many different contracts need to be signed before anything gets started. For example, a power of attorney agreement can give a party a great deal of power over another, so it’s important to consider the needs of this contract.

| 1) |
To execute and file for and on behalf of me,
in my capacity as one or more of an officer, director, or significant
stockholder of Hicks Acquisition Company II, Inc. or any of its subsidiaries
(collectively, the “Company”), reports or other
filings under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the rules thereunder, including without limitation, Forms 3, 4 and
5, including any amendments, corrections, supplements or other changes
thereto;
|
| 2) |
To do and perform any and all acts for and on
behalf of me which you (in your sole discretion) determine may be necessary or
desirable to complete and execute any such reports or other filings and timely
file same with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and any
stock exchange or similar authority; and
|
| 3) |
To take any other action of any type
whatsoever in connection with the foregoing which, in the sole opinion of such

on behalf of me pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and

such Attorney-in-Fact’s discretion.
|
I hereby grant to each Attorney-in-Fact full power and authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite, necessary, or proper to be done (in such Attorney-in-Fact’s sole discretion) in the exercise of any of the rights and powers herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as I might or could do if personally present, with full power of substitution or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that the Attorneys-in-Fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Power of Attorney and the rights and powers herein granted. I acknowledge that the Attorneys-in-Fact, in serving in such capacity at my request, are not assuming, nor is the Company assuming, any of my responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Prior to law school, I earned a master’s degree in computer science, which gives me the background and experience to understand technology, software, and the Internet better than most attorneys, and so my practice focuses on these areas.
