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


 


(i)                
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 J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (or at another U.S. chartered commercial bank with consolidated assets
of $100 billion or more) in the United States, maintained by the Trustee and at a brokerage institution selected by the Trustee that is
reasonably satisfactory to the Company;


 


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


 


(iii)               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; 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;


 


(iv)             
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;


 


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


 


(vi)             
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;


 


(vii)             
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;

of the Trust Account;


 






     


     


    

 


3


 


(ix)               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, Chief Financial Officer or
other authorized officer of the Company, and, in the case of the Termination Letter attached hereto as Exhibit A,
acknowledged and agreed to by the Representatives, and complete the liquidation of the Trust Account and distribute the Property in
the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to
pay its taxes (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 (1) twenty-four (24) months after the closing of the
Offering and (2) such later date as may be approved by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the Company’s
amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, 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 hereto as Exhibit B and the Property in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust
Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses),
shall be distributed to the Public Shareholders of record as of such date. It is acknowledged and agreed that there should be no
reduction in the principal amount per share initially deposited in the Trust Account;


 


(x)               
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 (a “Tax Payment Withdrawal Instruction”), 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 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, so long as there is no reduction in the principal amount per share initially deposited in the Trust Account; 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 (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); 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 relevant taxing authority for the Company. 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;


 


(xi)              
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 (a “Shareholder Redemption Withdrawal Instruction”), the Trustee shall distribute to the
remitting brokers on behalf of Public Shareholders redeeming Ordinary Shares the amount required to pay redeemed Ordinary Shares from
Public Shareholders pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association; and


 


(xii)             
Not make any withdrawals or distributions from the Trust Account other than pursuant to Section 1(ix), (x) or (xi)

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


 


(i)                
Give all instructions to the Trustee hereunder in writing, signed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial
Officer or other authorized officer of the Company. In addition, except with respect to its duties under Sections 1(ix), (x)
or (xi), 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;


 


(ii)                Subject
to Section 4, 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(ii), it shall notify the Company in writing of such claim (an
 “Indemnified Claim”). The Trustee shall have the right to conduct and manage the defense against such Indemnified
Claim; provided, however, that the Trustee shall obtain the consent of the Company with respect to the selection of counsel,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 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. The Company may participate in such action with its own
counsel;


 


(iii)               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(ix) through 1(xi).
The Company shall pay the Trustee the initial acceptance fee and the first annual administration fee at the consummation of the Offering.
The Company shall not be responsible for any other fees or charges of the Trustee except as set forth in this Section 2(iii) and
as may be provided in Section 2(ii);


 


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


 






     


     


    

 


5


 





(v)                Provide the Representatives with a copy of any Termination Letter(s) and/or any other correspondence that is sent to the Trustee
with respect to any proposed withdrawal from the Trust Account promptly after it issues the same;


 


(vi)             
Unless otherwise agreed between the Company and the Representatives, ensure that any Instruction Letter (as defined in Exhibit
A) delivered in connection with a Termination Letter in the form of Exhibit A expressly provides that the Deferred Discount
is paid directly to the account or accounts directed by the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters prior to any transfer of the
funds held in the Trust Account to the Company or any other person;


 


(vii)             
Instruct the Trustee to make only those distributions that are permitted under this Agreement, and refrain from instructing the
Trustee to make any distributions that are not permitted under this Agreement;


 


(viii)             If
the Company seeks to amend any provisions of its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance
or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of the Ordinary Shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection
with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Ordinary Shares if the Company does not complete its initial
Business Combination within the time period set forth therein or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders
of the Ordinary Shares (in each case, an “Amendment”), the Company will provide the Trustee with a letter (an
 “Amendment Notification Letter”) in the form of Exhibit D providing instructions for the distribution
of funds to Public Shareholders who exercise their redemption option in connection with such Amendment; and


 


(ix)              
Within five (5) business days after the Underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional units (or any unexercised portion
thereof) or such option to purchase additional units expires, provide the Trustee with a notice in writing of the total amount of the
Deferred Discount.


 


3.                 
Limitations of Liability. The Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability to:


 


(i)                 Imply

(vii)          
    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 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 by a written instrument delivered to the Trustee, signed

thereto;

Verify the accuracy of the information contained in the Registration Statement;

(xii)              
Verify calculations, qualify or otherwise approve the Company’s written requests for distributions pursuant to Sections

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(ii) or Section 2(iii), 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:


 


(i)                
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


 


(ii)               
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(ix) and distributed the Property in accordance with the provisions of the Termination Letter, this Agreement shall
terminate except with respect to Section 2(ii).


 


6.                 
Miscellaneous.


 


(i)                
The Company and the Trustee each acknowledge that the Trustee shall 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

vote of sixty-five percent (65%) of the then outstanding Ordinary Shares and Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of
the Company, voting together as a single class; provided, however, that no such amendment will affect any Public Shareholder

		Re:	Trust Account No. [ ] – Termination Letter



 


Dear Mr. Wolf and Ms. Gonzalez:


 


Pursuant to Section 1(ix)
of the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of [], 2021 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time,
the “Trust Agreement”), by and between Aperture Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) and
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”), this is to advise you that the Company has entered
into an agreement with [insert name] (the “Target Business”) to consummate a business combination with Target
Business (the “Business Combination”) on or about [insert date]. The Company shall notify you at least seventy-two
(72) hours (or such shorter period as you may agree) in advance of the actual date of the consummation of the Business Combination (the
 “Consummation Date”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the
Trust Agreement.


 


In accordance with the terms
of the Trust Agreement, we hereby authorize you to commence the liquidation of all of the assets of the Trust Account and to transfer
the proceeds to the trust operating account at JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. 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 (including as directed to it by the Representatives with respect to the Deferred Discount). It is acknowledged and agreed that, while
the funds are on deposit in the trust operating 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 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 or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, which verifies that the Business Combination has been
