by the Company to the Underwriter upon the consummation of the Business Combination (as defined below) (the “Deferred Discount”);
and


 


WHEREAS,
the Company and the Trustee desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Trustee shall
hold the Property.


 


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
located in the United States at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (or at another U.S. chartered commercial bank with consolidated assets of $100
billion) and at a brokerage institution selected by the Trustee that is 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 only in U.S. government treasury bills
with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations; it being understood that the Trust Account
will earn no interest while account funds are uninvested awaiting the Company’s instructions hereunder; while on deposit, the Trustee
may earn bank credits or other consideration;


 


(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 Underwriter 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 its 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 (i) receipt of, and only in accordance with, the terms of a letter
from the Company (a “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 or Chairman of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) or other authorized officer of the Company,
and, in the case of a Termination Letter in a form substantially similar to the attached hereto as Exhibit A, acknowledged
and agreed to by the Underwriter 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 (ii) upon the date which is the later of (A) 24 months after the closing of the Offering and (B) 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 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;


 


(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
(a “Tax Payment Withdrawal Instruction”), withdraw from the Trust Account and distribute to the Company the amount
of interest earned on the Trust Account requested by the Company to cover any taxes 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; 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. 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
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 on behalf of the Company the
amount requested by the Company to be used to redeem Ordinary Shares from Public Shareholders properly submitted in connection with a
shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (i) to
modify the substance or timing of the Company’ obligation to redeem 100% of its Ordinary Shares if it does not complete its initial
merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, or reorganization or engaging in any other similar business combination
with one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”) within 24 months from the closing of the Offering
or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity (in each
case, an “Amendment”). 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

hereby agrees and covenants to:



 


(a)          Give

Chief Financial Officer, or other authorized officer of the Company. In addition, except with respect to its duties under Sections 1(i),
(j) or (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 reasonable and documented
expenses, including reasonable outside 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. 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;


 


(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

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 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 as may be provided in Section 2(b) hereof;


 


(d)        In
connection with any vote of the Company’s shareholders regarding a Business Combination, provide to the Trustee an affidavit or

the Trustee) verifying the vote of the Company’s shareholders regarding such Business Combination;


 


(e)           Provide
the Underwriter 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;


 


(f)           Unless
otherwise agreed between the Company and the Underwriter, ensure that any Instruction Letter (as defined in Exhibit A) delivered

to the account or accounts directed by the Underwriter on behalf of the several underwriters prior to any transfer of the funds held
in the Trust Account to the Company or any other person;


 






    3

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

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

and that which is expressly set forth herein;


 


(b)           Take
any action with respect to the Property, other than as directed in Sections 1 and 2 hereof, and the Trustee shall have no liability to
any third party except for liability arising out of the Trustee’s own gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct;


 


(c)           Institute
any proceeding for the collection of any principal and income arising from, or institute, appear in or defend any proceeding of any kind
with respect to, any of the Property unless and until it shall have received written instructions from the Company given as provided
herein to do so and the Company shall have advanced or guaranteed to it funds sufficient to pay any expenses incident thereto;


 


(d)           Change
the investment of any Property, other than in compliance with Section 1 hereof;


 


(e)           Refund
any depreciation in principal of any Property;


 


(f)            Assume
that the authority of any person designated by the Company to give instructions hereunder shall not be continuing unless provided otherwise
in such designation, or unless the Company shall have delivered a written revocation of such authority to the Trustee;


 


(g)          The
other parties hereto or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted by the Trustee, or any action suffered by the Trustee to be taken
or omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of the Trustee’s own 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), 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
by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Trustee are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent
thereto;


 


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


 


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


 


(j)          File
information returns with respect to the Trust Account with any local, state or federal taxing authority or provide periodic written statements

(k)          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,
income tax obligations, except pursuant to Section 1(j) hereof; or


 


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


 






    4 


     


    

 


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 during which time the Trustee shall act in accordance with this Agreement. At such time that the
Company notifies the Trustee that a successor trustee has been appointed by the Company 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 six (6) months 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 for any events occurring or actions taken after such deposit;


 


(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); or


 


(c)          Upon
written notice from the Company to the Trustee in the event that the Trustee has committed any act of gross negligence, fraud or willful
misconduct.


 


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 will
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, 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. Except for
Section 1(i), 1(j) and 1(k) hereof (which sections may not be modified, amended or deleted without the affirmative vote
of the holders of at least two thirds of the then outstanding Ordinary Shares in respect of which votes are cast at a duly convened
general meeting of the Company; provided that no such amendment will affect any Public Shareholder who has otherwise indicated his, her
or its election to redeem his, her or its Ordinary Shares in connection with a shareholder vote sought to amend this Agreement), 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)          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.

		Re:	Trust Account - Termination Letter



 


Dear Mr. Wolf and Ms. Gonzalez:


 


Pursuant to Section 1(i) of
the Investment Management Trust Agreement between Galata Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) and Continental Stock Transfer &
Trust Company (the “Trustee”), dated as of [●], 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”), this is to
advise you that the Company has entered into an agreement with [•] (the “Target Business”) to consummate a Business
Combination with the Target Business on or about [insert date]. The Company shall notify you at least 72 hours in advance of the actual
date (or such shorter time period as you may agree) of the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Consummation Date”).
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined 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 to 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 B. Riley Securities, Inc.
(the “Underwriter”) (with respect to the Deferred Discount) and the Company shall direct on the Consummation Date.
It is acknowledged and agreed that while the funds are on deposit in the trust account at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. awaiting distribution,
neither the Company nor the Underwriter will earn any interest or dividends.


 


On the Consummation Date
(i) counsel for the Company shall deliver to you written notification (the “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 Underwriter (with respect to the Deferred Discount) and the Company and (ii) the Company shall deliver to you (a) a
certificate of the Chief Executive Officer, which verifies the vote of the Company’s shareholders in connection with the Business
Combination if a vote is held and (b) joint written instructions (the “Instruction Letter”) signed by the Company
and the Underwriter with respect to the transfer of the funds held in the Trust Account, including payment of the Deferred Discount from
the Trust Account. 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 in the Trust Account pursuant to the terms hereof, 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 the Trust Agreement on the business day immediately following the
Consummation Date as set forth in the notice.
