and, in connection therewith, will issue and deliver an aggregate of 219,750 warrants underlying such units (the “Private
Warrants), each such Private Warrant entitling its holder to purchase one-half (1/2) of one Ordinary Share;


 


WHEREAS,
the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Registration Statement on Form S-l,
No. 333- (“Registration Statement”), for the registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”)
of, among other securities, the Public Warrants;


 


WHEREAS,
the Company will issue and deliver 250,000 warrants (or 287,500 warrants if the over-allotment option is exercised in full) underlying

issues from time to time hereunder, the “Warrants”);


 


WHEREAS,
the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing to so act, in connection with
the issuance, registration, transfer, exchange, redemption and exercise of the Warrants;


 


WHEREAS,
the Company desires to provide for the form, terms and provisions of the Warrants, including the terms upon which they shall be issued

to authorize the execution and delivery of this Warrant Agreement.


 


NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:


 


	1.	Appointment
    of Warrant Agent. The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company for the Warrants, and
    the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the same in accordance with the terms and conditions set
    forth in this Warrant Agreement.


 






    	 



    	 



    

 


	2.	Warrants.


 


2.1
Form of Warrant. Each Warrant shall be: (a) issued in registered form only, (b) in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto,
the provisions of which are incorporated herein and (c) signed by, or bear the facsimile signature of, the Chairman of the Board, the
Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. In the event the person whose facsimile signature has been placed
upon any Warrant shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Warrant before such Warrant is issued, it
may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance.


 


2.2
Uncertificated Warrants. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Warrant, or portion thereof, may be issued as part
of, and be represented by, a Unit, Private Unit or Working Capital Unit, and any Warrant may be issued in uncertificated or book-entry
form through the Warrant Agent and/or the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (the “Depository”) or other book-entry
depositary system, in each case as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or by an authorized committee thereof. Any Warrant
so issued shall have the same terms, force and effect as a certificated Warrant that has been duly countersigned by the Warrant Agent
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.


 


2.3
Effect of Countersignature. Except with respect to uncertificated Warrants as described in Section 2.2 above, unless and
until countersigned by the Warrant Agent pursuant to this Warrant Agreement, a Warrant shall be invalid and of no effect and may not
be exercised by the holder thereof.


 


2.4
Registration.


 


2.4.1
Warrant Register. The Warrant Agent shall maintain books (the “Warrant Register”), for the registration
of the original issuance and transfers of the Warrants. Upon the initial issuance of the Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall issue and
register the Warrants in the names of the respective holders thereof in such denominations and otherwise in accordance with instructions
delivered to the Warrant Agent by the Company.


 


2.4.2
Registered Holder. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Company and the Warrant Agent may
deem and treat the person in whose name such Warrant shall be registered upon the Warrant Register (“Registered Holder “)
as the absolute owner of such Warrant and of each Warrant represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other
writing on the Warrant certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Warrant Agent), for the purpose of any exercise thereof,
and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


2.5
Detachability of Public Warrants. Each of the securities comprising the Public Units will begin to trade separately on (i) the
fifty-second (52nd) day after the date of the prospectus, or (ii) such earlier date as Maxim Group LLC, as representative of the underwriters
(the “Representative”), shall determine is acceptable (such date, the “Detachment Date”). In no
event will separate trading of the securities comprising the Public Units commence until the Company (i) files a Current Report on Form
8-K with the SEC including audited balance sheet reflecting our receipt of the gross proceeds of this Public Offering and (ii) issues
a press release announcing when such separate trading will begin.


 


2.6
Private Warrants and Working Capital Warrants. The Private Warrants and Working Capital Warrants will be issued in the
same form as the Public Warrants except that they (i) will be exercisable either for cash or on a cashless basis at the holder’s
option pursuant to Section 3.3, (ii) will not be redeemable by the Company, in either case as long as the Private Warrants or Working
Capital Warrants, as the case may be, are held by the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees (as prescribed
in the Subscription Agreement), and (iii) will be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth below. The provisions of this Section
2.6 may not be modified, amended or deleted without the prior written consent of the Representative. Prior to the consummation by the
Company of an initial business combination, the Private Warrants and Working Capital Warrants may only be transferred by the holders
thereof: (i) to the Company’s officers, directors or their respective affiliates (including for transfers to an entity’s
members upon its liquidation), (ii) to relatives and trusts for estate planning purposes, (iii) by virtue of the laws of descent and
distribution upon death, (iv) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (v) by certain pledges to secure obligations incurred
in connection with purchases of our securities, (vi) by private sales made at or prior to the consummation of an initial business combination
at prices no greater than the price at which the shares were originally purchased or (vii) to the Company for no value for cancellation
in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, in each case, except for clause (vii), on the condition that such transfers
may be implemented only upon the respective transferee’s written agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

2.7
Representative Warrants. Subject to compliance with FINRA Rule 5110, the Representative Warrants shall have the same terms and
be in the same form as the Public Warrants.


 


	3.	Terms
    and Exercise of Warrants.


 


3.1
Warrant Price. Each Warrant shall, when countersigned by the Warrant Agent (except with respect to Uncertificated Warrants), entitle
the Registered Holder thereof, subject to the provisions of such Warrant and of this Warrant Agreement, to purchase from the Company
the number of Ordinary Shares stated therein, at $11.50 per lull share, subject to the adjustments provided in Section 4 hereof. The
term “Warrant Price” as used in this Warrant Agreement refers to the price per whole share at which Ordinary Shares
may be purchased at the time such Warrants are exercised. The Company will not issue fractional shares. As a result, such Registered
Holder must exercise Warrants in multiples of two at the Warrant Price (subject to adjustment) in order to validly exercise his, her
or its Warrants.


 


3.2
Duration of Warrants. A Warrant may be exercised only during the period (“Exercise Period”) commencing on the
later to occur of (i) the completion of the Company’s initial business combination and (ii) 12 months following the closing of
the Public Offering, and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the earlier to occur of (i) five years after the completion
of the initial business combination, and (ii) the date fixed for redemption of the Warrants as provided in Section 6 of this Warrant
Agreement (“Expiration Date”), provided however, that for as long as any of the Representative Warrants are held by
the Representative or its designees or affiliates, such Representative Warrants may not be exercised after five years from the effective
date of the Registration Statement. Except with respect to the right to receive the Redemption Price (as set forth in Section 6 hereunder),
each Warrant not exercised on or before the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof
under this Warrant Agreement shall cease at the close of business on the Expiration Date. The Company may extend the duration of the
Warrants by delaying the Expiration Date; provided, however, that the Company will provide written notice of not less than 10 days to
Registered Holders of such extension and that such extension shall be identical in duration among all of the then outstanding Warrants.


 


3.3
Exercise of Warrants.


 


3.3.1
Cash Exercise. Subject to the provisions of the Warrant and this Warrant Agreement, a Warrant, when countersigned by the Company,
may be exercised by the Registered Holder thereof by surrendering it at the office of the Warrant Agent, or at the office of its successor
as Warrant Agent, currently being:


 


American
Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC


6201
15th Avenue


Brooklyn,
NY 11219


 


with
the subscription form, as set forth in the Warrant, duly executed, and by paying in full, in lawful money of the United States, by certified
or bank cashier’s check payable to the order of the Warrant Agent or by wire transfer to the Warrant Agent’s JPMorgan bank
account, the Warrant Price for each whole Warrant Share as to which the Warrant is exercised and any and all applicable taxes due in
connection with the exercise of the Warrant, the exchange of the Warrant for the Warrant Shares, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares
(such exercise, a “Cash Exercise”). A Cash Exercise in accordance with this Section 3.3.1 is available to the Registered
Holder only during such times that there is an effective registration statement registering the Warrant Shares, with the prospectus contained
therein being available for the resale of the Warrant Shares.


 




    	3



    	 



    

 


3.3.2
Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if there is no effective registration statement
registering the Warrant Shares on any day the Registered Holder desires to exercise the Warrants and more than 90 days have passed since
the Company complete its initial business combination, the Registered Holder may exercise the Warrants in whole or in part in lieu of
making a cash payment, by providing notice to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company in a subscription form of its election to utilize
cashless exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:


 


X
= Y[(A-B)/A]


 


where:


 


X
= the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.


 


Y
= the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.


 


A
= the fair market value of one Ordinary Share.


 


B
= the Warrant Price.


 


The
Registered Holder may not exercise any Warrants in the absence of a registration statement except pursuant to this Section 3.3.2.
For purposes of this Section 3.3.2 and Section 4,1, the fair market value of one Ordinary Share is defined as follows:


 


	 	(i)	if
    the Company’s Ordinary Shares are listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, the NASDAQ Global Select
    Market, the NASDAQ Global Market or the NASDAQ Capital Market (each, a “Trading Market”), the fair market value
    shall be deemed the average of the closing price on such Trading Market for the 20 trading days ending on the third trading day immediately
    prior to the date the subscription form is submitted to the Company in connection with the exercise of the Warrant; or
	 	 	 
	 	(ii)	if
    the Company’s Ordinary Shares are not listed on a Trading Market, but is traded in the over-the-counter market, the fair market
    value shall be deemed to be the average of the bid price on such Trading Market for the 10 trading day ending on the third trading
    day immediately prior to the date the subscription form is submitted in connection with the exercise of the Warrant; or
	 	 	 
	 	 (iii)	if
    there is no active public market for the Company’s Ordinary Shares, the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares shall be determined
    in good faith by the Company’s board of directors.


 


3.3.3
Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Warrant Agreement, the Company shall not be
required to issue any fraction of a Warrant Share in connection with the exercise of Warrants, and in any case where the Registered Holder
would be entitled under the terms of the Warrants to receive a fraction of a Warrant Share upon the exercise of such Registered Holder’s
Warrants, issue or cause to be issued only the largest whole number of Warrant Shares issuable on such exercise (and such fraction of
a Warrant Share will be disregarded); provided, that if more than one Warrant certificate is presented for exercise at the same time
by the same Registered Holder, the number of whole Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof shall be computed
on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares issuable on exercise of all such Warrants.


 


3.3.4
Issuance of Certificates. No later than three (3) business days following the exercise of any Warrant and the clearance of the
funds in payment of the Warrant Price pursuant to Section 3.3.1 or cashless exercise pursuant to Section 3.3.2, the Company shall issue,
or cause to be issued, to the Registered Holder of such Warrant a certificate or certificates representing (or at the option of the Registered
Holder, deliver electronically through the facilities of the Depository Trust Corporation) the number of full Ordinary Shares to which
he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it, and, if such Warrant shall not have
been exercised or surrendered in full, a new countersigned Warrant for the number of shares as to which such Warrant shall not have been
exercised or surrendered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not deliver, or cause to be delivered, any securities without
applicable restrictive legend pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant unless (a) a registration statement under the Act with respect to
the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to the Ordinary Shares issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants is available for delivery to the Registered Holder of the Warrant or (b) in the opinion of counsel to the
Company, the exercise of the Warrants is exempt from the registration requirements of the Act and such securities are qualified for sale
or exempt from qualification under applicable securities laws of the states or other jurisdictions in which the Registered Holder resides.
Warrants may not be exercised by, or securities issued to, any Registered Holder in any state in which such exercise or issuance would
be unlawful. In addition, in no event will the Company be obligated to pay such Registered Holder any cash consideration upon exercise
or otherwise “net cash settle” the Warrant.


 




    	4



    	 



    

 


3.3.5
Valid Issuance. All Ordinary Shares issued upon the proper exercise or surrender of a Warrant in conformity with this Warrant
Agreement shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.


 


3.3.6
Date of Issuance. Each person or entity in whose name any such certificate for Ordinary Shares is issued shall, for all purposes,
be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Warrant
Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a
date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at
the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.


 


3.3.7
Maximum Percentage. A holder of a Warrant may notify the Company in writing in the event it elects to be subject to the provisions
contained in this subsection 3.3.7; however, no holder of a Warrant shall be subject to this subsection 3.3.7 unless he, she or it makes
such election. If the election is made by a holder, the Warrant Agent shall not effect the exercise of the holder’s Warrant, and
such holder shall not have the right to exercise such Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together
with such person’s affiliates), to the Warrant Agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 9.8% (the “Maximum
Percentage”) of the Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing
sentence, the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by such person and its affiliates shall include the number of Ordinary
Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude
Ordinary Shares that would be issuable upon (x) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of the Warrant beneficially owned by such
person and its affiliates and (y) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
beneficially owned by such person and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred shares
or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the
preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). For purposes of the Warrant, in determining the number
of outstanding Ordinary Shares, the holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (1) the Company’s
most recent annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly report on Form 10-Q, current report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC
as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Warrant Agent
setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written request of the holder of the Warrant,
the Company shall, within two (2) business days, confirm orally and in writing to such holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding.
In any case, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of equity
securities of the Company by the holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding Ordinary Shares was
reported. By written notice to the Company, the holder of a Warrant may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage
applicable to such holder to any other percentage specified in such notice; provided, however, that any such increase shall not be effective
until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company.


 


	4.	Adjustments.


 


4.1
Stock Dividends, Splits. If, after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.5 below, the number of outstanding
Ordinary Shares is increased by a stock dividend payable in Ordinary Shares, or by a forward or reverse split of Ordinary Shares, or
other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split or similar event, the number of Ordinary Shares issuable
on exercise of each Warrant shall be increased or decreased in proportion to such increase or decrease in outstanding Ordinary Shares.
A rights offering to all holders of the Ordinary Shares entitling holders to purchase Ordinary Shares at a price less than the Fair Market
Value shall be deemed a stock dividend of a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Ordinary Shares actually
sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or
exercisable for the Ordinary Shares) multiplied by (ii) one (1) minus the quotient of (x) the price per Ordinary Share paid in such rights
offering divided by (y) the Fair Market Value. For purposes of this subsection 4.1, (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible
into or exercisable for Ordinary Shares, in determining the price payable for the Ordinary Shares, there shall be taken into account
any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) “Fair
Market Value” shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares for the 20 trading days ending on the third trading
day prior to the date on which the notice.


 




    	5



    	 



    

 


4.2
Aggregation of Shares. If, after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6, the number of outstanding Ordinary
shares is decreased by a consolidation, combination or reclassification of Ordinary shares or other similar event, then, on the effective
date of such consolidation, combination, reclassification or similar event, the number of Ordinary shares issuable on exercise of each
Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding Ordinary shares.


 


4.3
Extraordinary Dividends. If the Company, at any time while the Warrants (or rights to purchase the Warrants) are outstanding and
unexpired, shall pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of the Ordinary Shares on account
of such Ordinary Shares (or other shares of the Company’s capital stock into which the Warrants are convertible), other than (a)
as described in subsection 4.1 above, (b) Ordinary Cash Dividends (as defined below), (c) to satisfy the conversion rights of the holders
of the Ordinary Shares in connection with a proposed initial Business Combination, (d) as a result of the repurchase of Ordinary Shares
by the Company in connection with an initial Business Combination or as otherwise permitted by the Investment Management Trust Agreement
between the Company and the Warrant Agent dated of even date herewith (e) or as a result of the issuance of Ordinary Shares as a result
of conversion of the Rights issued in the Public Offering, or (f) in connection with the Company’s liquidation and the distribution
of its assets upon its failure to consummate a Business Combination (any such non-excluded event being referred to herein as an “Extraordinary
Dividend”), then the Warrant Price shall be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such Extraordinary Dividend,
by the amount of cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Company’s board of directors, in good faith) of any securities
or other assets paid on each Ordinary Share in respect of such Extraordinary Dividend. For purposes of this subsection 4.3, “Ordinary
Cash Dividends” means any cash dividend or cash distribution which, when combined on a per share basis with the per share amounts
of all other cash dividends and cash distributions paid on the Ordinary Shares during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration
of such dividend or distribution (as adjusted to appropriately reflect any of the events referred to in other subsections of this Section
4 and excluding cash dividends or cash distributions that resulted in an adjustment to the Warrant Price or to the number of Ordinary
Shares issuable on exercise of each Warrant) does not exceed $0.50 (being 5% of the offering price of the Units in the Offering).


 


4.4
Adjustments in Exercise Price.


 


4.4.1
Whenever the number of Ordinary Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is adjusted, as provided in Sections 4.1 and 4.2
above, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Warrant Price, immediately prior to such adjustment,
by a fraction, (a) the numerator of which shall be the number of Ordinary Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately
prior to such adjustment, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the number of Ordinary Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter.


 


4.4.2
If (i) the Company issues additional Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares
for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial business combination at an issue price or effective issue
price of less than $9.50 per share of Common Stock, with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by
the Board, (ii) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon,
available for funding the initial business combination, and (iii) the volume weighted average trading price of the Ordinary Shares during
the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the initial business combination
(the “Market Value”) is below $9.50 per share, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal
to 115% of the Market Value, and the last sales price of the Ordinary Shares that triggers the Company’s right to redeem the Warrants
pursuant to Section 6.1 below shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 165% of the Market Value.


 




    	6



    	 



    

 


4.5
Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding
Ordinary Shares (other than a change under Sections 4.1 or 4.2 hereof or one that solely affects the par value of such Ordinary Shares),
or, in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or conversion of the Company as another entity
(other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification
or reorganization of the outstanding Ordinary Shares), or, in the case of any sale or conveyance to another entity of the assets or other
property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Registered
Holders shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Warrants
and in lieu of the Ordinary Shares of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights
represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification,
reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the Registered Holder would
have received if such Registered Holder had exercised his, her or its Warrant(s) immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification
also results in a change in Ordinary Shares covered by Sections 4.1 or 4.2, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to Sections 4.1,
4.2, 4.3 and this Section 4.4. The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations,
mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers.


 


4.6
Notices of Changes in Warrant. Upon every adjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of shares issuable upon exercise
of a Warrant, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Warrant Agent, which notice shall state the Warrant Price resulting
from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of a Warrant,
setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Upon the occurrence
of any event specified in Sections 4.1 through 4.5 the Company shall give written notice to each Registered Holder, at the last address
set forth for such Registered Holder in the Warrant Register, of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give
such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.


 


4.7
Form of Warrant. The form of Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4, and Warrants issued
after such adjustment may state the same Warrant Price and the same number of shares as is stated in the Warrants initially issued pursuant
to this Warrant Agreement. However, the Company may, at any time, in its sole discretion, make any change in the form of Warrant that
the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof, and any Warrant thereafter issued or countersigned,
whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.


 


4.8
Notice of Certain Transactions. In the event that the Company shall (a) offer to holders of all its Ordinary Shares rights to
subscribe for or to purchase any securities convertible into Ordinary Shares or shares of stock of any class or any other securities,
rights or options, (b) issue any rights, options or warrants entitling all the holders of Ordinary Shares to subscribe for Ordinary Shares,
or (c) make a tender offer, redemption offer or exchange offer with respect to the Ordinary Shares, the Company shall send to the Registered
Holders a notice of such action or offer. Such notice shall be mailed to the Registered Holders at their addresses as they appear in
the Warrant Register, which shall specify the record date for the purposes of such dividend, distribution or rights, or the date such
issuance or event is to take place and the date of participation therein by the holders of Ordinary Shares, if any such date is to be
fixed, and shall briefly indicate the effect of such action on the Ordinary Shares and on the number and kind of any other shares of
stock and on other property, if any, and the number of Ordinary Shares and other property, if any, issuable upon exercise of each Warrant
and the Warrant Price after giving effect to any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 which would be required as a result of such action.
Such notice shall be given as promptly as practicable after the Company has taken any such action.


 


4.9
Other Events. In case any event shall occur affecting the Company as to which none of the provisions of preceding subsections
of this Section 4 are strictly applicable, but which would require an adjustment to the terms of the Warrants in order to (i) avoid an
adverse impact on the Warrants and (ii) effectuate the intent and purpose of this Section 4, then, in each such case, the Company shall
appoint a firm of independent public accountants, investment banking or other appraisal firm of recognized national standing, which shall
give its opinion as to whether or not any adjustment to the rights represented by the Warrants is necessary to effectuate the intent
and purpose of this Section 4 and, if such firm determines that an adjustment is necessary, the terms of such adjustment. The Company
shall adjust the terms of the Warrants in a manner that is consistent with any adjustment recommended in such opinion

	5.	Transfer
    and Exchange of Warrants.


 


5.1
Transfer of Public Warrants. Prior to the Detachment Date, the Public Warrants may be transferred or exchanged only together with
the Unit in which such Public Warrant is included, and only for the purpose of effecting, or in conjunction with, a transfer or exchange
of such Unit. Furthermore, each transfer of a Unit on the register relating to such Units shall operate also to transfer the Public Warrants
included in such Unit. From and after the Detachment Date, this Section 5.1 will have no further force and effect.


 


5.2
Registration of Transfer. The Warrant Agent shall register the transfer, from time to time, of any outstanding Warrant into the
Warrant Register, upon surrender of such Warrant for transfer, properly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed and accompanied
by appropriate instructions for transfer. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants shall
be issued and the old Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent, in the case of certified warrants. The Warrants so cancelled shall
be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company from time to time upon the Company’s request.


 


5.3
Procedure for Surrender of Warrants. Warrants may be surrendered to the Warrant Agent, together with a written request for exchange
or transfer, and, thereupon, the Warrant Agent shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as requested by the Registered
Holder of the Warrants so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants; provided, however, that, in the event a Warrant
surrendered for transfer bears a restrictive legend, the Warrant Agent shall not cancel such Warrant and shall issue new Warrants in
exchange therefor until the Warrant Agent has received an opinion of counsel for the Company stating that such transfer may be made and
indicating whether the new Warrants must also bear a restrictive legend.


 


5.4
Fractional Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange which will result
in the issuance of a warrant certificate for a fraction of a warrant.


 


5.5
Service Charges. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrants.


 


5.6
Warrant Execution and Countersignature. The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign and to deliver, in accordance

whenever required by the Warrant Agent, will supply the Warrant Agent with Warrants duly executed on behalf of the Company for such purpose.


 


5.7
Private Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall not register any transfer of Private Warrants or Working Capital Warrants until after
the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination, except for transfers made in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof, on the condition
that prior to such registration for transfer, the Warrant Agent shall be presented with written documentation pursuant to which each
transferee or the trustee or legal guardian for such transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of the Subscription Agreement and any
other applicable agreement the transferor is bound by.


 


	6.	Redemption.


 


6.1
Redemption. Subject to the second sentence of this Section 6.1, all (and not less than all) of the outstanding Warrants may be
redeemed, in whole and not in part, at the option of the Company, at any time from and after the Warrants become exercisable, and prior
to their expiration, at the office of the Warrant Agent, upon the notice referred to in Section 6.2, at the price of $0.01 per Warrant
(“Redemption Price”); provided that the last sales price of the Ordinary Shares has been equal to or greater than
$16.50 per share (subject to adjustment for splits, dividends, recapitalizations and other similar events), for any twenty (20) trading
days within a thirty (30) trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given
and provided further that (i) there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the Ordinary Shares underlying the
Warrants for each day in the 30-Day Trading Period and continuing each day thereafter until the Redemption Date (defined below) or (ii)
the cashless exercise of the Warrants pursuant to Section 3.3.2 is exempt from the registration requirements under the Act. For
avoidance of doubt, if and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company under this Section, the Company may exercise its redemption
right, even if it is unable to register or qualify the Warrant Shares for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

6.2
Date Fixed for, and Notice of. Redemption. In the event the Company shall elect to redeem all of the Warrants that are subject
to redemption, the Company shall fix a date for the redemption (the “Redemption Date”). Notice of redemption shall
be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by the Company not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Registered
Holders of the Warrants to be redeemed at their last addresses as they shall appear on the Warrant Register. Any notice mailed in the
manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Registered Holder received such notice.


 


6.3
Exercise After Notice of Redemption. The Warrants may be exercised in accordance with Section 3 of this Warrant Agreement at any
time after notice of redemption shall have been given by the Company pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof and prior to the Redemption Date;
provided that the Company may require the Registered Holder who desires to exercise the Warrant to elect cashless exercise as set forth
under Section 3.3.2, and such Registered Holder must exercise the Warrants on a cashless basis if the Company so requires. On and after
the Redemption Date, the Registered Holder of the Warrants shall have no further rights except to receive, upon surrender of the Warrants,
the Redemption Price.


 


6.4
No Other Rights to Cash Payment. Except for a redemption in accordance with this Section 6, no Registered Holder of any
Warrant shall be entitled to any cash payment whatsoever from the Company in connection with the ownership, exercise or surrender of
any Warrant under this Warrant Agreement.


 


6.5
Exclusion of Certain Warrants. The Company agrees that the redemption rights provided for by this Section 6 apply only to outstanding
Warrants. To the extent a person holds rights to purchase Warrants, such purchase rights shall not be extinguished by redemption. However,
once such purchase rights are exercised, the Company may redeem the Warrants issued upon such exercise provided that the criteria for
redemption is met. Additionally, any of the Private Warrants or Working Capital Warrants shall not be redeemable by the Company as long
as such Private Warrants or Working Capital Warrants continue to be held by initial purchasers and affiliates or their permitted transferees
(as prescribed in Section 5.7 hereof). However, once such Private Warrants or Working Capital Warrants are no longer held by the initial
purchasers or their affiliates or permitted transferees, such Private Warrants or Working Capital Warrants shall then be redeemable by
the Company pursuant to Section 6 hereof. The provisions of this Section 6.5 may not be modified, amended or deleted without the prior
written consent of the Representative.


 


	7.	Other
    Provisions Relating to Rights of Registered Holders of Warrants.

the Company or any other matter.


 


7.2
Lost, Stolen Mutilated or Destroyed Warrants. If any Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company and the Warrant
Agent may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as they may in their discretion impose (which terms shall, in the case of a mutilated
Warrant, include the surrender thereof, issue a new Warrant of like denomination, tenor and date as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated

lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.


 


7.3
Reservation of Ordinary Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued

business days after the closing of a Business Combination, it shall use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement

and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of
the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In addition, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to register
the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants under state blue sky laws, to the extent an exemption is not available.
