to time on or after the date the Company consummates the Business Combination, the Holders of at least a majority in interest of the
then-outstanding number of Registrable Securities (the “Demanding Holders”) may make a written
demand for Registration of all or part of their Registrable Securities, which written demand shall describe the amount and type of
securities to be included in such Registration and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof (such written demand a
“Demand Registration”). The Company shall, within five (5) days of the Company’s receipt of
the Demand Registration, notify, in writing, all other Holders of Registrable Securities of such demand, and each Holder of
Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in a
Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration (each such Holder that includes all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable
Securities in such Registration, a “Requesting Holder”) shall so notify the Company, in writing,
within three (3) business days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company. Upon receipt by the Company of any
such written notification from a Requesting Holder(s) to the Company, such Requesting Holder(s) shall be entitled to have their
Registrable Securities included in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration and the Company shall effect, as soon thereafter
as practicable, but not more than forty five (45) days immediately after the Company’s receipt of the Demand Registration, the
Registration of all Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders pursuant to such Demand
Registration. Under no circumstances shall the Company be obligated to effect more than an aggregate of three (3) Registrations
pursuant to a Demand Registration under this subsection 2.1.1 with respect to any or all Registrable Securities; provided, however,
that a Registration shall not be counted for such purposes unless a Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration statement that
may be available at such time (“Form S-1”) has become effective and all of the Registrable
Securities requested by the Requesting Holders to be registered on behalf of the Requesting Holders in such Form S-1 Registration
have been sold, in accordance with Section 3.1.1 of this Agreement; provided, further, that an Underwritten
Shelf Takedown shall not count as a Demand Registration.


 






    5


     


    

 


2.1.2       
Effective Registration. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 2.1.1 above or any other part of this
Agreement, a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration shall not count as a Registration unless and until (i) the Registration Statement
filed with the Commission with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration has been declared effective by the Commission
and (ii) the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, further,
that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, an offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant
to a Demand Registration is subsequently interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission, federal or state court or
any other governmental agency the Registration Statement with respect to such Registration shall be deemed not to have been declared effective,
unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the
Demanding Holders initiating such Demand Registration thereafter affirmatively elect to continue with such Registration and accordingly
notify the Company in writing, but in no event later than five (5) days, of such election; provided, further, that the Company
shall not be obligated or required to file another Registration Statement until the Registration Statement that has been previously filed
with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration becomes effective or is subsequently terminated.


 


2.1.3        Underwritten
Offering. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.1.4 and Section 2.4 hereof, if a majority-in-interest of the
Demanding Holders so advise the Company as part of their Demand Registration that the offering of the Registrable Securities
pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering, then the right of such Demanding Holder or
Requesting Holder (if any) to include its Registrable Securities in such Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s
participation in such Underwritten Offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten
Offering to the extent provided herein. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an
Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.1.3 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the
Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating the Demand
Registration.


 






    6


     


    

 


2.1.4       
Reduction of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration pursuant
to a Demand Registration, in good faith, advises the Company, the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) in writing that
the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken
together with all other Ordinary Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and the Ordinary Shares, if any, as
to which a Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other shareholders
who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering
without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering
(such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”),
then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders
and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder and
Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Registration and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities
that the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders have requested be included in such Underwritten Registration (such proportion is referred

or other equity securities of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register in a Registration pursuant to separate
written contractual arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

majority-in-interest of the Requesting Holders (if any), pursuant to a Registration under subsection 2.1.1 shall have the

to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Registration prior to the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to the Registration of their Registrable
Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be

2.2         
Piggyback Registration


 


2.2.1

proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or
other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of shareholders
of the Company (or by the Company and by the shareholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1

exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing shareholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible

filing date of such Registration Statement, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering,
the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, in such offering, and
(B) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities
as such Holders may request in writing within three (3) business days after receipt of such written notice (such Registration a “Piggyback

Registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit
the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this subsection 2.2.1 to be included in a Piggyback Registration
on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such Registration and to permit the sale or other
disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All such Holders proposing
to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.2.1 shall enter into an underwriting

of the Company, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

If the Registration is pursuant to a request by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the

any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its
intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the
Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of

filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration

2.3         
Shelf Registrations


 


2.3.1       
The Holders of Registrable Securities may at any time, and from time to time, request in writing that the Company, pursuant
to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), register the resale of any or all
of their Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or similar short form registration statement that may be available at such time (“Form
S-3”), or if the Company is ineligible to use Form S-3, on Form S-1; a registration statement filed pursuant to this
subsection 2.3.1 (a “Shelf”) shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein
pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder. Within three (3) days of the Company’s
receipt of a written request from a Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities for a Registration on a Shelf, the Company shall promptly
give written notice of the proposed Registration to all other Holders of Registrable Securities, and each Holder of Registrable Securities
who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration shall so notify the
Company, in writing, within three (3) business days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company. As soon as practicable
thereafter, but not more than ten (10) days after the Company’s initial receipt of such written request for a Registration on a
Shelf, the Company shall register all or such portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities as are specified in such written request,
together with all or such portion of Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in
the written notification given by such Holder or Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to
effect any such Registration pursuant to this subsection 2.3.1 if the Holders of Registrable Securities, together with the Holders
of any other equity securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such Registration, propose to sell the Registrable Securities and
such other equity securities (if any) at any aggregate price to the public of less than $10,000,000. The Company shall maintain each Shelf
in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and
supplements as may be necessary to keep such Shelf continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of
the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities included on such Shelf. In the event the Company
files a Shelf on Form S-1, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 to a Form S-3 as soon as
practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3.


 






    10


     


    

 


2.3.2        If
any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities included thereon
are still outstanding, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause
such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the
effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend
such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or
file an additional registration statement (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”) registering the resale of
all Registrable Securities including on such Shelf, and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and
requested by, any Holder. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
(i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable
after the filing thereof and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective, available for use and in
compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities included
thereon. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form.
Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on another appropriate form. In the event that any Holder holds Registrable
Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, the Company, upon request of a Holder shall promptly
use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at the
Company’s option, a Shelf (including by means of a post-effective amendment) or a Subsequent Shelf Registration and cause the
same to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be subject
to the terms hereof; provided, however, the Company shall only be required to cause such Registrable Securities to be
so covered once annually after inquiry of the Holders.


 


2.3.3        At
any time and from time to time after a Shelf has been declared effective by the Commission, the Sponsor may request to sell all or
any portion of its Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf (each, an
“Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an
Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering shall include securities with a total offering price (including piggyback securities
and before deduction of underwriting discounts) reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $10,000,000. All requests for
Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company at least 48 hours prior to the public
announcement of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to
be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such
Underwritten Shelf Takedown. The Company shall include in any Underwritten Shelf Takedown the securities requested to be included by
any holder (each a “Takedown Requesting Holder”) at least 24 hours prior to the public announcement of
such Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to written contractual piggyback registration rights of such holder (including to those
set forth herein). The Sponsor shall have the right to select the underwriter(s) for such offering (which shall consist of one or
more reputable nationally recognized investment banks), subject to the Company’s prior approval which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to this subsection
2.3.3 shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration effected under Section 2.1 hereof.


 






    11


     


    

 


2.3.4       
If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith, advises the Company, the Sponsor
and the Takedown Requesting Holders (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Sponsor and
the Takedown Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other Ordinary Shares or other equity securities that
the Company desires to sell, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown,
as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Sponsor that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;
(ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the Ordinary Shares
or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and
(iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Ordinary
Shares or other equity securities of the Takedown Requesting Holders, if any, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of
Securities, determined Pro Rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Takedown Requesting Holder has so requested
to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown.


 


2.3.5       
The Sponsor shall have the right to withdraw from an Underwritten Shelf Takedown for any or no reason whatsoever upon written
notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of its intention to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown
prior to the public announcement of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with an Underwritten Shelf Takedown prior to a withdrawal
under this subsection 2.3.5.


 


2.4         
Restrictions on Registration Rights


 


If (A) during the period
starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on
a date one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date of, a Company initiated Registration and provided that the Company
has delivered written notice to the Holders prior to receipt of a Demand Registration pursuant to subsection 2.1.1 and it
continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Registration Statement to become
effective; (B) the Holders have requested an Underwritten Registration and the Company and the Holders are unable to obtain the
commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite the offer; or (C) in the good faith judgment of the Board such Registration would be
seriously detrimental to the Company and the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer the filing of such
Registration Statement at such time, then in each case the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the
Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be seriously detrimental to the Company for such
Registration Statement to be filed in the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration
Statement. In such event, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than thirty (30) days;
provided, however, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any 12-month period.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Registration shall be effected or permitted and no
Registration Statement shall become effective, with respect to any Registrable Securities held by any Holder, until after the
expiration of the Founder Shares Lock-Up Period or the Private Placement Lock-Up Period, as the case may be.

COMPANY PROCEDURES


 


3.1         
General Procedures

and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective until all Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold;


 


3.1.2       
prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement, and such
supplements to the Prospectus, as may be requested by the Holders or any Underwriter of Registrable Securities or as may be required by
the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company or by the Securities Act or rules and regulations
thereunder to keep the Registration Statement effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement are sold
in accordance with the intended plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;


 


3.1.3       
prior to filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to

copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case
including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement
(including each preliminary Prospectus), and such other documents as the Underwriters and the Holders of Registrable Securities included
in such Registration or the legal counsel for any such Holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities
owned by such Holders;


 


3.1.4        prior
to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered
by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the
Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may
request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be
registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of
the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable
Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such
jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any
jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify or take any action to which it would be subject to general service
of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise so subject;


 






    13


     


    

 


3.1.5       
cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar
securities issued by the Company are then listed;

advise each seller of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of
the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening
of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain
its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued;


 


3.1.8       
at least five (5) days prior to the filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to
such Registration Statement or Prospectus (other than by way of a document incorporated by reference) furnish a copy thereof to each seller
of such Registrable Securities or its counsel;


 


3.1.9       
notify the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under
the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then
in effect, includes a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof;


 


3.1.10   
permit a representative of the Holders, the Underwriters, if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders
or Underwriter to participate, at each such person’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause the
Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter,
attorney or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives or Underwriters
enter into a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure
of any such information;


 


3.1.11    obtain
a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an
Underwritten Registration, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort”
letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the
participating Holders;


 






    14


     


    

 


3.1.12   
on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion, dated such
date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Holders, the placement agent or sales
agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion
is being given as the Holders, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in
such opinions and negative assurance letters, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the participating Holders;


 


3.1.13   
in the event of any Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual

make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of
at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of
the Registration Statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor
rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission);


 


3.1.15   
if the Registration involves the Registration of Registrable Securities involving gross proceeds in excess of $50,000,000,
use its reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations
that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in any Underwritten Offering; and


 


3.1.16   
otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the
Holders, in connection with such Registration.


 


3.2         
Registration Expenses


 


The Registration Expenses
of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling
expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter
marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses
of any legal counsel representing the Holders.


 


3.3         
Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings


 


No person may participate
in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless
such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company
and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements,
underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.


 






    15


     


    

 



 


3.4             
Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure


 


Upon receipt of written notice
from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue
disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement
(it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the
time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. If the filing, initial
effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require the Company to make
an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the
Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders,
delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no
event more than thirty (30) days, determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises
its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above,
their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company
shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4.


 


3.5             
Reporting Obligations


 


As long as any Holder shall
own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file
timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company
after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete
copies of all such filings. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request,
all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Ordinary Shares held by such Holder without registration under
the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor
rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission, to the extent that such rule or such successor rule is available to the Company), including
providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly
authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.


 


Article
IV 

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION


 


4.1             
Indemnification


 


4.1.1        The
Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and
each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
expenses (including attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any
Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or
alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except
insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for
use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such
Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the
indemnification of the Holder.


 






    16 


     


    

 


4.1.2       
In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder
shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with
any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers
and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained
in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that
such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use
therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders
of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the
net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable
Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning
of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.


 


4.1.3        Any
person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect
to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to
indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such
indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist
with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any
settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying
party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of
more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable
judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified
parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry
of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so
paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional
term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such
claim or litigation.


 






    17 


     


    

 


4.1.4       
The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive
the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such
provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such
Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.


 


4.1.5       
If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient
to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party
as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the
indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including
any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates
to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however,
that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such
Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities
referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3
above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined
by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in
this subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities
Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.

V


SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS


 


Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, at any time and from time to time on or after the date that the Company consummates a Business Combination and for
so long as the Sponsor holds any Registrable Securities:


 


5.1.1       
The Sponsor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate three individuals to be appointed or nominated, as
the case may be, for election to the Board (including any successor, each, a “Nominee”) by giving written notice
to the Company on or before the time such information is reasonably requested by the Board or the Nominating Committee of the Board, as
applicable, for inclusion in a proxy statement for a meeting of shareholders provided to the Sponsor.


 


5.1.2       
The Company will, as promptly as practicable, use its best efforts to take all necessary and desirable actions (including,
without limitation, calling special meetings of the Board and the shareholders and recommending, supporting and soliciting proxies) so
that there are three Sponsor Directors serving on the Board at all times.


 


5.1.3       
The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, use its best efforts to take all actions necessary
to ensure that: (i) each Nominee is included in the Board’s slate of nominees to the shareholders of the Company for each election
of Directors; and (ii) each Nominee is included in the proxy statement prepared by management of the Company in connection with soliciting
proxies for every meeting of the shareholders of the Company called with respect to the election of members of the Board, and at every
adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the shareholders of the Company or the Board
with respect to the election of members of the Board.


 


5.1.4       
If a vacancy occurs because of the death, disability, disqualification, resignation, or removal of a Sponsor Director or
for any other reason, the Sponsor shall be entitled to designate such person’s successor, and the Company will, as promptly as practicable
following such designation, use its best efforts to take all necessary and desirable actions, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
within its control such that such vacancy shall be filled with such successor Nominee.


 


5.1.5       
If a Nominee is not elected because of such Nominee’s death, disability, disqualification, withdrawal as a nominee
or for any other reason, the Sponsor shall be entitled to designate promptly another Nominee and the Company will take all necessary and
desirable actions within its control such that the director position for which such Nominee was nominated shall not be filled pending
such designation or the size of the Board shall be increased by one and such vacancy shall be filled with such successor Nominee as promptly
as practicable following such designation.


 


5.1.6        As
promptly as reasonably practicable following the request of any Sponsor Director, the Company shall enter into an indemnification
agreement with such Sponsor Director, in the form entered into with the other members of the Board. The Company shall pay the
reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Sponsor Director in connection with his or her services provided to or
on behalf of the Company, including attending meetings or events attended explicitly on behalf of the Company at the Company’s
request.


 






    19 


     


    

 


5.1.7       
The Company shall (i) purchase directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in an amount determined by the Board
to be reasonable and customary and (ii) for so long as a Sponsor Director serves as a Director of the Company, maintain such coverage
with respect to such Sponsor Director; provided that upon removal or resignation of such Sponsor Director for any reason, the Company
shall take all actions reasonably necessary to extend such directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for a period
of not less than six years from any such event in respect of any act or omission occurring at or prior to such event.


 


5.1.8       
[Reserved].


 


5.1.9       
Each Nominee may, but does not need to qualify as “independent” pursuant to listing standards of the New York
Stock Exchange (or such other national securities exchange upon which the Company’s securities are then listed).


 


5.1.10   
Any Nominee will be subject to the Company’s customary due diligence process, including its review of a completed
questionnaire and a background check. Based on the foregoing, the Company may object to any Nominee provided (a) it does so in good faith,
and (b) such objection is based upon any of the following: (i) such Nominee was convicted in a criminal proceeding or is a named subject
of a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses), (ii) such Nominee was the subject of any order,
judgment, or decree not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily
enjoining such proposed director from, or otherwise limiting, the following activities: (A) engaging in any type of business practice,
or (B) engaging in any activity in connection with the purchase or sale of any security or in connection with any violation of federal
or state securities laws, (iii) such Nominee was the subject of any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or
vacated, of any federal or state authority barring, suspending or otherwise limiting for more than 60 days the right of such person to
engage in any activity described in clause (ii)(B), or to be associated with persons engaged in such activity, (iv) such proposed director
was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commission to have violated any federal or state securities
law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, or (v)
such proposed director was the subject of, or a party to any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding,
not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to a violation of any federal or state securities laws or regulations. In the
event the Board reasonably finds the Nominee to be unsuitable based upon one or more of the foregoing clauses (i) through (v) and reasonably
objects to the identified director, Sponsor shall be entitled to propose a different nominee to the Board within 30 calendar days of the
Company’s notice to Sponsor of its objection to the Nominee and such replacement Nominee shall be subject to the review process
outlined above.


 


5.1.11   
 The Company shall take all necessary action to cause a Nominee chosen by the Sponsor, at the request of such Nominee to
be elected to the board of directors (or similar governing body) of each material operating subsidiary of the Company. The Nominee, as
applicable, shall have the right to attend (in person or remotely) any meetings of the board of directors (or similar governing body or
committee thereof) of each subsidiary of the Company.

or assignment made other than as provided in this Section 6.2 shall be null and void.


 


6.3             
Severability


 


This Agreement shall be deemed
severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this
Agreement or of any other term or provision hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the parties
hereto intend that there shall be added as a part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision
as may be possible that is valid and enforceable.


 


6.4             
Counterparts


 


This Agreement may be executed
in multiple counterparts (including facsimile or PDF counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together
shall constitute the same instrument, but only one of which need be produced.


 


6.5             
Entire Agreement


 


This Agreement (including
all agreements entered into pursuant hereto and all certificates and instruments delivered pursuant hereto and thereto) constitute the
entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations,
understandings, negotiations and discussions between the parties, whether oral or written.


 


6.6             
Governing Law; Venue


 


NOTWITHSTANDING THE PLACE
WHERE THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE EXECUTED BY ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY

ENTIRELY WITHIN NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS OF SUCH JURISDICTION.


 


6.7             
WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY


 


EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT,

6.8             
Amendments and Modifications


 


Upon the written consent of
the Company and the Holders of at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities at the time in question, compliance with
any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions
may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely
affects one Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of the shares of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from the
other Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Holder so affected. No course of dealing between any Holder or the Company
and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of a Holder or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this
Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Holder or the Company. No single or partial exercise of any rights
or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder
or thereunder by such party.


 


6.9             
Titles and Headings


 


Titles and headings of sections
of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of any provision of this Agreement.


 


6.10         
Waivers and Extensions


 


Any party to this Agreement
may waive any right, breach or default which such party has the right to waive, provided that such waiver will not be effective against
the waiving party unless it is in writing, is signed by such party, and specifically refers to this Agreement. Waivers may be made in
advance or after the right waived has arisen or the breach or default waived has occurred. Any waiver may be conditional. No waiver of
any breach of any agreement or provision herein contained shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof nor of
any other agreement or provision herein contained. No waiver or extension of time for performance of any obligations or acts shall be
deemed a waiver or extension of the time for performance of any other obligations or acts.


 


6.11         
Remedies Cumulative


 


In the event that the Company
fails to observe or perform any covenant or agreement to be observed or performed under this Agreement, the Holders may proceed to protect
and enforce its rights by suit in equity or action at law, whether for specific performance of any term contained in this Agreement or
for an injunction against the breach of any such term or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Agreement or to enforce any
other legal or equitable right, or to take any one or more of such actions, without being required to post a bond. None of the rights,
powers or remedies conferred under this Agreement shall be mutually exclusive, and each such right, power or remedy shall be cumulative
and in addition to any other right, power or remedy, whether conferred by this Agreement or now or hereafter available at law, in equity,
by statute or otherwise.

6.12         
Other Registration Rights


 


The Company represents and
warrants that no person, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities, has any right to require the Company to register any securities
of the Company for sale or to include such securities of the Company in any Registration filed by the Company for the sale of securities
for its own account or for the account of any other person. Further, the Company represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes
any other registration rights agreement or agreement with similar terms and conditions and in the event of a conflict between any such
agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.


 


6.13         
Term


 


This Agreement shall terminate
upon the earlier of (i) the tenth anniversary of the date of this Agreement and (ii) the date as of which no Registrable Securities remain
outstanding. The provisions of Section 3.5 and Article IV shall survive any termination.
