As
more fully described in, and subject to the terms and conditions described in, the Company’s final prospectus for its initial
public offering dated                   ,
2021, the holder(s) of this certificate shall be entitled to receive a pro-rata portion of certain funds held in the trust
account established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering only in the event that (i) the Company
redeems the shares of Common Stock sold in the Company’s initial public offering and liquidates because it does not consummate
an initial business combination by the date set forth in the Charter, as the same may be amended from time to time (such date
being referred to herein as the “Last Date”), (ii) the Company redeems the shares of Common Stock sold in its
initial public offering properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Charter to modify the substance
or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Common Stock if it does not consummate an initial business combination
by the Last Date or with respect to any other provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination
activity, or (iii) if the holder(s) seek(s) to redeem for cash his, her or its respective shares of Common Stock
in connection with a tender offer (or proxy solicitation, solely in the event the Company seeks stockholder approval of the proposed
initial business combination) setting forth the details of a proposed initial business combination. In no other circumstances
shall the holder(s) have any right or interest of any kind in or to the trust account.
