NOW THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:


 


1.           Agreements
and Covenants of Trustee. The Trustee hereby agrees and covenants to:


 


(a)          Hold
the Property in trust for the Beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in the Trust Account established by
the Trustee in the United States at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and at a brokerage institution selected by the Trustee that is reasonably
satisfactory to the Company;


 


(b)          Manage,
supervise and administer the Trust Account subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;


 




    	 	 	 



     


    

  


(c)          In
a timely manner, upon the written instruction of the Company, invest and reinvest the Property in United States government securities
within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, having a maturity of 180 days or less,
or in money market funds meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 promulgated under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (or any successor rule), which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations,
as determined by the Company; the Trustee may not invest in any other securities or assets, it being understood that the Trust
Account will earn no interest while account funds are uninvested awaiting the Company’s instructions hereunder and the Trustee
may earn bank credits or other consideration during such periods;


 


(d)          Collect
and receive, when due, all interest or other income arising from the Property, which shall become part of the “Property,”
as such term is used herein;


 


(e)          Promptly
notify the Company and the Representative of all communications received by the Trustee with respect to any Property requiring
action by the Company;


 


(f)           Supply
any necessary information or documents as may be requested by the Company (or its authorized agents) in connection with the Company’s
preparation of the tax returns relating to assets held in the Trust Account;


 


(g)          Participate
in any plan or proceeding for protecting or enforcing any right or interest arising from the Property if, as and when instructed
by the Company to do so;


 


(h)          Render
to the Company monthly written statements of the activities of, and amounts in, the Trust Account reflecting all receipts and disbursements
of the Trust Account;


 


(i)           Commence
liquidation of the Trust Account only after and promptly after (x) receipt of, and only in accordance with, the terms of a letter
from the Company (“Termination Letter”) in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as either
Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as applicable, signed on behalf of the Company by its Chief Executive Officer, President,
Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President, Secretary or Chairman of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”)
or other authorized officer of the Company, and complete the liquidation of the Trust Account and distribute the Property in the
Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of any taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay
dissolution expenses), only as directed in the Termination Letter and the other documents referred to therein, or (y) upon the
date which is the later of (i) 21 months after the closing of the Offering or, in the event that the Company extended the period
of time to complete a Business Combination by implementing the Extension, 24 months after the closing of the Offering, and (ii)
such later date as may be approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated
certificate of incorporation if a Termination Letter has not been received by the Trustee prior to such date, in which case the
Trust Account shall be liquidated in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Termination Letter attached as Exhibit
B and the Property in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of any taxes payable, and less up
to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), shall be distributed to the Public Stockholders of record as of such date;
provided, however, that in the event the Trustee receives a Termination Letter in a form substantially similar to
Exhibit B hereto, or if the Trustee begins to liquidate the Property because it has received no such Termination Letter
by the date specified in clause (y) of this Section 1(i), the Trustee shall keep the Trust Account open until twelve (12)
months following the date the Property has been distributed to the Public Stockholders;


 


(j)           Upon
written request from the Company, which may be given from time to time in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto
as Exhibit C, withdraw from the Trust Account and distribute to the Company the amount of interest earned on the Property
requested by the Company to cover any tax obligation, including any franchise tax obligations, owed by the Company as a result
of assets of the Company or interest or other income earned on the Property, which amount shall be delivered directly to the Company
by electronic funds transfer or other method of prompt payment, and the Company shall forward such payment to the relevant taxing
authority, as applicable; provided, however, that to the extent there is not sufficient cash in the Trust Account
to pay such tax obligation, the Trustee shall liquidate such assets held in the Trust Account as shall be designated by the Company
in writing to make such distribution so long as there is no reduction in the principal amount initially deposited in the Trust
Account; provided, further, that if the tax to be paid is a franchise tax, the written request by the Company to
make such distribution shall be accompanied by a copy of the franchise tax bill from the State of Delaware for the Company and
a written statement from the principal financial officer of the Company setting forth the actual amount payable (it being acknowledged
and agreed that any such amount in excess of interest income earned on the Property shall not be payable from the Trust Account).
The written request of the Company referenced above shall constitute presumptive evidence that the Company is entitled to said
funds, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to look beyond said request;


 




    	 	2	 



     


    

  


(k)          Upon
written request from the Company, which may be given from time to time in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto
as Exhibit D, the Trustee shall distribute to the Public Stockholders of record as of such date the amount requested by
the Company to be used to redeem shares of Common Stock from Public Stockholders properly submitted pursuant to the provisions
of Section 9.7 of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation; and


 


(l)           Upon
receipt of an extension letter (“Extension Letter”) in a form substantially similar to that attached
hereto as Exhibit E at least five (5) days prior to the Business Combination Deadline, signed on behalf of the Company by
its Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President, Secretary or Chairman of the Board,
and receipt of the dollar amount specified in the Extension Letter on or prior to the Business Combination Deadline, to follow
the instructions set forth in the Extension Letter; and


 


(m)          Not
make any withdrawals or distributions from the Trust Account other than pursuant to Section 1(i), (j) or (k)
above.


 


2.           Agreements
and Covenants of the Company. The Company hereby agrees and covenants to:


 


(a)          Give
all instructions to the Trustee hereunder in writing, signed by the Company’s Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Executive
Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President or Secretary. In addition, except with respect to its duties under Sections
1(i), 1(j) and 1(k) hereof, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, any
verbal or telephonic advice or instruction which it, in good faith and with reasonable care, believes to be given by any one of
the persons authorized above to give written instructions, provided that the Company shall promptly confirm such instructions in
writing;


 


(b)          Subject
to Section 4 hereof, hold the Trustee harmless and indemnify the Trustee from and against any and all expenses, including
reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, or losses suffered by the Trustee in connection with any action taken by it hereunder
and in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding brought against the Trustee involving any claim, or in connection with
any claim or demand, which in any way arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services of the Trustee hereunder, or the
Property or any interest earned on the Property, except for expenses and losses resulting from the Trustee’s gross negligence,
fraud or willful misconduct. Promptly after the receipt by the Trustee of notice of demand or claim or the commencement of any
action, suit or proceeding, pursuant to which the Trustee intends to seek indemnification under this Section 2(b),
it shall notify the Company in writing of such claim (hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnified Claim”).
The Trustee shall have the right to conduct and manage the defense against such Indemnified Claim; provided that the Trustee
shall obtain the consent of the Company with respect to the selection of counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. The Trustee may not agree to settle any Indemnified Claim without the prior written consent of the Company, which such
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Company may participate in such action with its own counsel;


 


(c)          Pay
the Trustee the fees set forth on Schedule A hereto, including an initial acceptance fee, annual administration fee, and
transaction processing fee which fees shall be subject to modification by the parties from time to time. It is expressly understood
that the Property shall not be used to pay such fees unless and until it is distributed to the Company pursuant to Sections
1(i) through 1(k) hereof. The Company shall pay the Trustee the initial acceptance fee and the first annual administration
fee at the consummation of the Offering. The Trustee shall refund to the Company the monthly fee (on a pro rata basis) with respect
to any period after the liquidation of the Trust Account. The Company shall not be responsible for any other fees or charges of
the Trustee except as set forth in this Section 2(c), Schedule A and as may be provided in Section 2(b) hereof;

(d)          In
connection with any vote of the Company’s stockholders regarding a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase,
recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses (a “Business
Combination”), provide to the Trustee an affidavit or certificate of the inspector of elections for the stockholder
meeting verifying the vote of such stockholders regarding such Business Combination;

or such over-allotment option expires, provide the Trustee with a notice in writing of the total amount of the M&A Fee, which
shall in no event be less than $5,250,000 (or $6,037,500 if the Underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full);

    	 	4	 



     


    

  


(f)           The
other parties hereto or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted,
in good faith and in the Trustee’s reasonable best judgment, except for the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful
misconduct. The Trustee may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion
or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Trustee, which counsel may be the Company’s counsel), statement, instrument,
report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also
as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained) which the Trustee believes, in good faith and with reasonable
care, to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Trustee shall not be bound by any notice
or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement or any of the terms hereof, unless evidenced

are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto;


 


(g)          Verify
the accuracy of the information contained in the Registration Statement;


 


(h)          Provide
any assurance that any Business Combination entered into by the Company or any other action taken by the Company is as contemplated

(j)           Prepare,
execute and file tax reports, income or other tax returns and pay any taxes with respect to any income generated by, and activities
relating to, the Trust Account, regardless of whether such tax is payable by the Trust Account or the Company, including, but not
limited to, franchise and income tax obligations, except pursuant to Section 1(j) hereof; or


 


(k)          Verify
calculations, qualify or otherwise approve the Company’s written requests for distributions pursuant to Sections 1(i),
1(j) and 1(k) hereof.


 


4.           Trust
Account Waiver. The Trustee has no right of set-off or any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”)
to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account, and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account
that it may have now or in the future. In the event the Trustee has any Claim against the Company under this Agreement, including,
without limitation, under Section 2(b) or Section 2(c) hereof, the Trustee shall pursue such Claim solely against
the Company and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the Property or any monies in the Trust Account.


 


5.           Termination.
This Agreement shall terminate as follows:


 


(a)          If
the Trustee gives written notice to the Company that it desires to resign under this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable
efforts to locate a successor trustee, pending which the Trustee shall continue to act in accordance with this Agreement. At such
time that the Company notifies the Trustee that a successor trustee has been appointed and has agreed to become subject to the
terms of this Agreement, the Trustee shall transfer the management of the Trust Account to the successor trustee, including but
not limited to the transfer of copies of the reports and statements relating to the Trust Account, whereupon this Agreement shall
terminate; provided, however, that in the event that the Company does not locate a successor trustee within ninety
(90) days of receipt of the resignation notice from the Trustee, the Trustee may submit an application to have the Property deposited
with any court in the State of New York or with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and upon
such deposit, the Trustee shall be immune from any liability whatsoever; or


 


(b)          At
such time that the Trustee has completed the liquidation of the Trust Account and its obligations in accordance with the provisions
of Section 1(i) hereof and distributed the Property in accordance with the provisions of the Termination Letter, this Agreement
shall terminate except with respect to Section 2(b).


 




    	 	5	 



     


    

  


6.           Miscellaneous.


 


(a)          The
Company and the Trustee each acknowledge that the Trustee will follow the security procedures set forth below with respect to funds
transferred from the Trust Account. The Company and the Trustee will each restrict access to confidential information relating
to such security procedures to authorized persons. Each party must notify the other party immediately if it has reason to believe
unauthorized persons may have obtained access to such confidential information, or of any change in its authorized personnel. In
executing funds transfers, the Trustee shall rely upon all information supplied to it by the Company, including, account names,
account numbers, and all other identifying information relating to a Beneficiary, Beneficiary’s bank or intermediary bank.
Except for any liability arising out of the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, the Trustee shall not
be liable for any loss, liability or expense resulting from any error in the information or transmission of the funds.


 


(b)          This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving
effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. This
Agreement may be executed in several original or facsimile counterparts, each one of which shall constitute an original, and together
shall constitute but one instrument.


 


(c)          This
Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. This
Agreement or any provision hereof may only be changed, amended or modified (other than to correct a typographical error) by a writing
signed by each of the parties hereto.


 


(d)          This
Agreement or any provision hereof may only be changed, amended or modified pursuant to Section 6(c) hereof with the Consent
of the Stockholders, it being the specific intention of the parties hereto that each of the Company’s stockholders is, and
shall be, a third party beneficiary of this Section 6(d) with the same right and power to enforce this Section 6(d)
as the other parties hereto. For purposes of this Section 6(d), the “Consent of the Stockholders”
means receipt by the Trustee of a certificate from the inspector of elections of the stockholder meeting certifying that either
(i) the Company’s stockholders of record as of a record date established in accordance with Section 213(a) of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, as amended (“DGCL”) (or any successor rule), who hold sixty-five percent (65%)
or more of all then outstanding shares of the Common Stock have voted in favor of such change, amendment or modification, including
a corresponding change to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or (ii) the Company’s stockholders
of record as of the record date who hold sixty-five percent (65%) or more of all then outstanding shares of the Common Stock have
delivered to such entity a signed writing approving such change, amendment or modification. No such amendment will affect any Public
Stockholder who has otherwise indicated his election to redeem his share of Common Stock in connection with a stockholder vote
sought to amend this Agreement, including a corresponding change to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
Except for any liability arising out of the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, the Trustee may rely
conclusively on the certification from the inspector or elections referenced above and shall be relieved of all liability to any
party for executing the proposed amendment in reliance thereon.


 


(e)          The
parties hereto consent to the jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court located in the City of New York, State of New
York, for purposes of resolving any disputes hereunder. AS TO ANY CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY WAY RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.


 


(f)           Any
notice, consent or request to be given in connection with any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing
and shall be sent by express mail or similar private courier service, by certified mail (return receipt requested), by hand delivery

In accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement,
we hereby authorize you to commence to liquidate all of the assets of the Trust Account on [insert date], and to transfer
the proceeds into a segregated account held by you on behalf of the Beneficiaries to the effect that, on the Consummation Date,
all of the funds held in the Trust Account will be immediately available for transfer to the account or accounts that the Company
shall direct on the Consummation Date. It is acknowledged and agreed that while the funds are on deposit in the trust checking
account at [JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.] awaiting distribution, the Company will not earn any interest or dividends.


 


On the Consummation Date (i) counsel for the
Company shall deliver to you written notification that the Business Combination has been consummated, or will be consummated substantially
concurrently with your transfer of funds to the accounts as directed by the Company (the “Notification”)
and (ii) the Company shall deliver to you (a) [an affidavit] [a certificate] of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, which
verifies that the Business Combination has been approved by a vote of the Company’s stockholders, if a vote is held and (b)
a written instruction signed by the Company with respect to the transfer of the funds held in the Trust Account, including payment
of the M&A Fee from the Trust Account (the “Instruction Letter”). You are hereby directed and authorized
to transfer the funds held in the Trust Account immediately upon your receipt of the Notification and the Instruction Letter, in
accordance with the terms of the Instruction Letter. In the event that certain deposits held in the Trust Account may not be liquidated
by the Consummation Date without penalty, you will notify the Company in writing of the same and the Company shall direct you as
to whether such funds should remain in the Trust Account and be distributed after the Consummation Date to the Company. Upon the
distribution of all the funds, net of any payments necessary for reasonable unreimbursed expenses related to liquidating the Trust
Account, your obligations under the Trust Agreement shall be terminated.


 


In the event that the Business Combination is
not consummated on the Consummation Date described in the notice thereof and we have not notified you on or before the original
Consummation Date of a new Consummation Date, then upon receipt by the Trustee of written instructions from the Company, the funds
held in the Trust Account shall be reinvested as provided in Section 1(c) of the Trust Agreement on the business day immediately
following the Consummation Date as set forth in such written instruction as soon thereafter as possible.
