(d)            Collect
and receive, when due, all interest or other income arising from the Property, which shall become part of the “Property,”

(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

Trust Account (net of amounts withdrawn in accordance with this Agreement (including up to $500,000 per annum for working capital
purposes) and less up to $100,000 of interest that may be released to the Company 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) 24
months after the closing of the Offering or 27 months from the closing of the Offering if the Company has executed a letter of
intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of

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 such payment
the Company shall forward to the relevant taxing authority; 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 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;

(k)            Upon

and distribute to the Company the amount of interest earned on the Property requested by the Company to fund working capital compliance
requirements (a “Working Capital Withdrawal”), which amount shall be delivered directly to the Company; provided, however,
that to the extent there is not sufficient cash in the Trust Account to fund such Working Capital Withdrawal, 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.
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; provided, further, that Working Capital
Withdrawal shall not exceed $500,000 per annum;


 


(l)             Upon
written request from the Company, which may be given from time to time in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto

from Public Stockholders properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s
amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem
100% of its public shares of Common Stock if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within such time as
is described in the Company’s amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation or with respect to any other material provisions
relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. The written request of the Company referenced
above shall constitute presumptive evidence that the Company is entitled to distribute said funds, and the Trustee shall have no
responsibility to look beyond said request; and


 


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


 


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

Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Secretary. In addition, except with respect to its duties under Sections 1(i), 1(j), 1(k) and
1(l) hereof, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, any such written instructions
and, further, 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 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, or its representatives’,
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 shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned, or delayed; provided, further that the Company may conduct and manage the defense against
any Indemnified Claim if the Trustee does not promptly take reasonable steps to mount such a defense. The Trustee may not agree
to settle any Indemnified Claim without the prior written consent of the Company. The Company may participate in any such action
with its own counsel;

fee at the consummation of the Offering. The Trustee shall refund to the Company the annual administration 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

to the accounts as directed by the Representatives prior to any transfer of the funds held in the Trust Account to the Company
or any other person;


 


(g)            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; and

in no event be less than $5,250,000, or $6,037,500 if the underwriters’ overallotment option is exercised in full.

(e)            Refund

(f)            Assume

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,

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

(k)             Prepare,

limited to, franchise and income tax obligations, except pursuant to Section 1(j) hereof; or

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
and Replacement of Trustee. 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 and any other reasonable transfer requests that the Company
may make, 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


 




    5 


     


    

(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).


 


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, or its representatives’, 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)            Sections 1(i) and
1(l) 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 and Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of
the Company voting together as a single class, have voted in favor of such change, amendment or modification, 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 and Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company voting together as a single
class, 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 the Certificate of Incorporation. Except for any liability arising out of the Trustee’s,
or its representatives’, 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, County
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.

Dear Mr. ____ 


 


Pursuant to Section 1(i) of the
Investment Management Trust Agreement between Bilander Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) and American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (the “Trustee”), dated as of        ,
2021 (the “Trust Agreement”), 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 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 to liquidate all of the assets of the Trust Account, and to transfer the proceeds
into 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 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 joint written instruction signed by the Company and the Representatives with respect to the transfer of the funds
held in the Trust Account, including payment of amounts owed to public stockholders who have properly exercised their redemptions
rights and payment of amounts of the Deferred Discount to the underwriter 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.
