THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT
(this “Agreement”), dated January 20, 2021, is by and between Authentic Equity Acquisition Corp., a Cayman
Islands exempted company (the “Company”), and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a
New York corporation, as warrant agent (in such capacity, the “Warrant Agent”).


 


WHEREAS, the Company
is engaged in an initial public offering (the “Offering”) of units, each such unit comprised of one Class
A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), and one-half of
one Public Warrant (as defined below) (the “Units”);


 


WHEREAS, in connection
with the Offering, the Company has determined to issue and deliver up to 11,500,000 redeemable warrants (including up to 1,500,000
redeemable warrants subject to the exercise by the underwriters in the Offering of their Over-allotment Option (as defined below))
to public investors in the Offering (the “Public Warrants”);


 


WHEREAS, the Company
has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on
Form S-1, File No. 333-251575, and a prospectus (the “Prospectus”), for the registration, under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the Units, the Public Warrants and the Ordinary Shares
included in the Units;


 


WHEREAS, in connection
with the consummation of the Offering, the Company will enter into that certain Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement with
Authentic Equity Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), pursuant to which
the Sponsor will purchase an aggregate of 6,000,000 warrants bearing the legend set forth in Exhibit B hereto (or up to
6,600,000 warrants if the underwriters in the Offering exercise their Over-allotment Option ) simultaneously with the closing of
the Offering (and the closing of the Over-allotment Option, if applicable), for an aggregate purchase price of $5,175,500 (or up
to $5,775,500 if the underwriters in the Offering exercise their Over-allotment Option) (such warrants, the “Sponsor
Private Placement Warrants”);


 


WHEREAS, in connection
with the consummation of the Offering, the Company will enter into that certain Forward Purchase Agreement with General Electric
Pension Trust ( “GEPT”), pursuant to which (A) GEPT may purchase, in its discretion, an amount designated

of the pro forma equity outstanding at the time of the Business Combination Closing, including but not limited to, any Ordinary
Shares issued in connection with this offering, the Forward Purchase Agreement or any private placement or other offering or to
any seller in the initial Business Combination (the “Forward Purchase Units”), with each unit consisting
of one Ordinary Share and 0.425 of one redeemable warrant bearing the legend set forth in Exhibit B hereto (the “Forward
Purchase Warrants”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per unit, in a private placement transaction to occur concurrently

Warrants” and, such Private Placement Warrants, together with the Public Warrants and the Forward Purchase Warrants,
the “Warrants”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share at a price
of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described herein;


 






    1


     


    

 


WHEREAS, in order to
finance the Company’s transaction costs in connection with an intended initial merger, share exchange, asset acquisition,
share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Company and one or more businesses (a “Business
Combination”), the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors
may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as the Company may require, of which up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be
convertible into up to an additional 1,500,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant;


 


WHEREAS, the Company
desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing to so act, in connection with the issuance,
registration, transfer, exchange, redemption and exercise of the Warrants;


 


WHEREAS, the Company
desires to provide for the form and provisions of the Warrants, the terms upon which they shall be issued and exercised, and the
respective rights, limitation of rights, and immunities of the Company, the Warrant Agent and the holders of the Warrants; and


 


WHEREAS, all acts and
things have been done and performed which are necessary to make the Warrants, when executed on behalf of the Company and countersigned
by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent (if a physical certificate is issued), as provided herein, the valid, binding and legal obligations
of the Company, and to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement.


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:


 


1.
Appointment of Warrant Agent. The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company for the
Warrants, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the same in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.


 


2.
Warrants.


 


2.1 Form of Warrant.
Each Warrant shall initially be issued in registered form only.


 


2.2 Effect of Countersignature.
If a physical certificate is issued, unless and until countersigned by the Warrant Agent pursuant to this Agreement, a certificated
Warrant shall be invalid and of no effect and may not be exercised by the holder thereof.


 


2.3 Registration.


 


2.3.1 Warrant
Register. The Warrant Agent shall maintain books (the “Warrant Register”), for the registration of
original issuance and the registration of transfer of the Warrants. Upon the initial issuance of the Warrants in book-entry form,
the Warrant Agent shall issue and register the Warrants in the names of the respective holders thereof in such denominations and
otherwise in accordance with instructions delivered to the Warrant Agent by the Company. Ownership of beneficial interests in the
Public Warrants shall be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership shall be effected through, records maintained by institutions
that have accounts with The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”) (such institution, with respect
to a Warrant in its account, a “Participant”).


 






    2


     


    

 


If the Depositary subsequently
ceases to make its book-entry settlement system available for the Public Warrants, the Company may instruct the Warrant Agent regarding
making other arrangements for book-entry settlement. In the event that the Public Warrants are not eligible for, or it is no longer
necessary to have the Public Warrants available in, book-entry form, the Warrant Agent shall provide written instructions to the
Depositary to deliver to the Warrant Agent for cancellation each book-entry Public Warrant, and the Company shall instruct the
Warrant Agent to deliver to the Depositary definitive certificates in physical form evidencing such Warrants (“Definitive
Warrant Certificates”) which shall be in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A.


 


Physical certificates,
if issued, shall be signed by, or bear the facsimile signature of, the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President,
Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Secretary or other principal officer of the Company. In the event
the person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Warrant shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such
person signed the Warrant before such Warrant is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to
be such at the date of issuance.


 


2.3.2 Registered
Holder. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and
treat the person in whose name such Warrant is registered in the Warrant Register (the “Registered Holder”)
as the absolute owner of such Warrant and of each Warrant represented thereby, for the purpose of any exercise thereof, and for
all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


2.4 Detachability
of Warrants. The Ordinary Shares and Public Warrants comprising the Units shall begin separate trading on the 52nd day following
the date of the Prospectus or, if such 52nd day is not on a day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday, on which banks
in New York City are generally open for normal business (a “Business Day”), then on the immediately succeeding
Business Day following such date, or earlier (the “Detachment Date”) with the consent of Jefferies LLC
and BMO Capital Markets Corp., as representatives of the several underwriters, but in no event shall the Ordinary Shares and the
Public Warrants comprising the Units be separately traded until (A) the Company has filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the
Commission containing an audited balance sheet reflecting the receipt by the Company of the gross proceeds of the Offering, including
the proceeds then received by the Company from the exercise by the underwriters of their right to purchase additional Units in
the Offering (the “Over-allotment Option”), if the Over-allotment Option is exercised prior to the filing
of the Current Report on Form 8-K, and (B) the Company issues a press release announcing when such separate trading shall begin.


 


2.5 No Fractional
Warrants Other Than As Part of Units and Forward Purchase Units. The Company shall not issue fractional Warrants other than
as part of the Units, each of which is comprised of one Ordinary Share and one-half of one whole Public Warrant, and the Forward
Purchase Units, each of which will be comprised of one Ordinary Share and 0.425 of one whole Forward Purchase Warrant. If, upon
the detachment of Public Warrants or Forward Purchase Warrants from the Units or Forward Purchase Units, as applicable, or otherwise,
a holder of Warrants would be entitled to receive a fractional Warrant, the Company shall round down to the nearest whole number
the number of Warrants to be issued to such holder.

2.6 Private Placement
Warrants; Forward Purchase Warrants.


 


2.6.1 The
Private Placement Warrants shall be identical to the Public Warrants, except that so long as they are held by the Sponsor, GEPT
or any of their respective Permitted Transferees (as defined below), the Private Placement Warrants: (i) may be exercised for cash
or on a “cashless basis” pursuant to subsection 3.3.1(b), (ii) including the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise
of the Private Placement Warrants, may not be transferred, assigned or sold until thirty (30) days after the completion by the
Company of an initial Business Combination, (iii) shall not be redeemable by the Company pursuant to Section 6.1 and (iv)
shall only be redeemable by the Company pursuant to Section 6.2 if the Reference Value (as defined below) is less than $18.00
per share (subject to adjustment in compliance with Section 4); provided, however, that in the case of (ii), the Private
Placement Warrants and any Ordinary Shares issued upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants may be transferred by the holders
thereof:


 


(a) to the Company’s
officers or directors, any affiliates or family members of any of the Company’s officers or directors, any members or partners
of the Sponsor or their affiliates, any affiliates of the Sponsor, or any employees of such affiliates;


 


(b) in the case of
an individual, by gift to a member of one of the individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is
a member of one of the individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization;


 


(c) in the case of
an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual;


 


(d) in the case of
an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order;


 


(e) by private sales
or transfers made in connection with any forward purchase agreement or similar agreement or in connection with the consummation
of the Company’s Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the Private Placement Warrants or Ordinary
Shares, as applicable, were originally purchased (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant and
$10.00 per Ordinary Share);


 


(f) by virtue of the
laws of the Cayman Islands or the Sponsor’s organizational documents upon liquidation or dissolution of the Sponsor;


 


(g) to the Company
for no value for cancellation in connection with the consummation of our initial Business Combination;


 


(h) in the event of
the Company’s liquidation prior to the completion of its initial Business Combination; or


 


(i) in the event of
the Company’s completion of a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the
public shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the
completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination;


 


provided, however, that, in the case of
clauses (a) through (f), these permitted transferees (the “Permitted Transferees”) must enter into a
written agreement with the Company agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions in this Agreement.


 


2.6.2 Forward Purchase
Warrants. The Forward Purchase Warrants shall have the same terms and be in the same form as the Public Warrants.

3.
Terms and Exercise of Warrants.


 


3.1 Warrant Price.
Each whole Warrant shall entitle the Registered Holder thereof, subject to the provisions of such Warrant and of this Agreement,
to purchase from the Company the number of Ordinary Shares stated therein, at the price of $11.50 per share, subject to the adjustments
provided in Section 4 and in the last sentence of this Section 3.1. The term “Warrant Price”
as used in this Agreement shall mean the price per share (including in cash or by payment of Warrants pursuant to a “cashless
exercise,” to the extent permitted hereunder) described in the prior sentence at which Ordinary Shares may be purchased at
the time a Warrant is exercised. The Company in its sole discretion may lower the Warrant Price at any time prior to the Expiration
Date (as defined below) for a period of not less than fifteen Business Days (unless otherwise required by the Commission, any national
securities exchange on which the Warrants are listed or applicable law); provided that the Company shall provide at least five
days’ prior written notice of such reduction to Registered Holders of the Warrants; and provided further, that any such reduction
shall be identical among all of the Warrants.


 


3.2 Duration
of Warrants. A Warrant may be exercised only during the period (the “Exercise Period”) (A) commencing
on the later of: (i) the date that is thirty (30) days after the first date on which the Company completes a Business Combination,
and (ii) the date that is twelve (12) months from the date of the closing of the Offering, and (B) terminating at the earliest
to occur of (x) 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is five (5) years after the date on which the Company completes
its initial Business Combination, (y) the liquidation of the Company in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated
memorandum and articles of association (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Charter”)
if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination, and (z) other than with respect to the Private Placement Warrants then
held by the Sponsor, GEPT or their respective Permitted Transferees in connection with a redemption pursuant to (x) Section
6.1 or (y) if the Reference Value equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (subject to adjustment in compliance with Section 4),
Section 6.2, 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date (as defined below) as provided in Section 6.3
(the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, that the exercise of any Warrant shall be subject to the
satisfaction of any applicable conditions, as set forth in subsection 3.3.2 below, with respect to an effective registration
statement or a valid exemption therefrom being available. Except with respect to the right to receive the Redemption Price (as
defined below) (other than with respect to a Private Placement Warrant then held by the Sponsor, GEPT or their respective Permitted
Transferees in connection with a redemption pursuant to (x) Section 6.1 or (y) if the Reference Value equals or exceeds
$18.00 per share (subject to adjustment in compliance with Section 4), Section 6.2), in the event of a redemption
(as set forth in Section 6), each Warrant (other than a Private Placement Warrant then held by the Sponsor, GEPT or their
respective Permitted Transferees in the event of a redemption pursuant to (x) Section 6.1 or (y) if the Reference Value
equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (subject to adjustment in compliance with Section 4), Section 6.2) not exercised
on or before the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement
shall cease at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. The Company in its sole discretion may extend the duration
of the Warrants by delaying the Expiration Date; provided that the Company shall provide at least twenty (20) days prior written
notice of any such extension to Registered Holders of the Warrants and any such extension shall be identical in duration among
all the Warrants.

3.3 Exercise of Warrants.


 


3.3.1 Payment.
Subject to the provisions of the Warrant and this Agreement, a Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder thereof by delivering
to the Warrant Agent at its corporate trust department (i) the Definitive Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrants to be exercised,
or, in the case of a Warrant represented by a book-entry (the “Book-Entry Warrants”), the Warrants to
be exercised on the records of the Depositary to an account of the Warrant Agent at the Depositary designated for such purposes
in writing by the Warrant Agent to the Depositary from time to time, (ii) an election to purchase (“Election to Purchase”)
any Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant, properly completed and executed by the Registered Holder on the reverse
of the Definitive Warrant Certificate or, in the case of a Book-Entry Warrant, properly delivered by the Participant in accordance
with the Depositary’s procedures, and (iii) the payment in full of the Warrant Price for each Ordinary Share as to which
the Warrant is exercised and any and all applicable taxes due in connection with the exercise of the Warrant, the exchange of the
Warrant for the Ordinary Shares and the issuance of such Ordinary Shares, as follows:


 


(a) in lawful money
of the United States, in good certified check or wire payable to the Warrant Agent;


 


(b) with respect to
any Private Placement Warrant, so long as such Private Placement Warrant is held by the Sponsor, GEPT or any of their respective
Permitted Transferees, by surrendering the Warrants for that number of Ordinary Shares equal to (i) if in connection with a redemption
of Private Placement Warrants pursuant to Section 6.2, as provided in Section 6.2 with respect to a Make-Whole Exercise,
and (ii) in all other scenarios, the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Ordinary Shares underlying
the Private Placement Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “Sponsor Exercise Fair Market Value”
(as defined in this subsection 3.3.1(b)) less the Warrant Price by (y) the Sponsor Exercise Fair Market Value. Solely for
purposes of this subsection 3.3.1(b), the “Sponsor Fair Market Value” shall mean the average last
reported sale price of the Ordinary Shares for the ten (10) trading days ending on the third (3rd) trading day prior
to the date on which notice of exercise of the Private Placement Warrant is sent to the Warrant Agent;


 


(c) as provided in
Section 6.2 with respect to a Make-Whole Exercise; or


 


(d) as provided in
Section 7.4.


 


3.3.2 Issuance
of Ordinary Shares on Exercise. As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant and the clearance of the funds in
payment of the Warrant Price (if payment is pursuant to subsection 3.3.1(a)), the Company shall issue to the Registered
Holder of such Warrant a book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for the number of Ordinary Shares to which he, she
or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it on the register of members of the Company,
and if such Warrant shall not have been exercised in full, a new book-entry position or countersigned Warrant, as applicable, for
the number of shares as to which such Warrant shall not have been exercised. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not
be obligated to deliver any Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant and shall have no obligation to settle such Warrant
exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Ordinary Shares underlying the Public Warrants
is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company’s satisfying its obligations under
Section 7.4 or a valid exemption from registration is available. No Warrant shall be exercisable and the Company shall not
be obligated to issue Ordinary Shares upon exercise of a Warrant unless the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such Warrant exercise
have been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt from registration or qualification under the securities laws of the state
of residence of the Registered Holder of the Warrants. Subject to Section 4.6, a Registered Holder of Warrants may exercise
its Warrants only for a whole number of Ordinary Shares. The Company may require holders of Public Warrants to settle the Warrant
on a “cashless basis” pursuant to Section 7.4. If, by reason of any exercise of Warrants on a “cashless
basis”, the holder of any Warrant would be entitled, upon the exercise of such Warrant, to receive a fractional interest
in an Ordinary Share, the Company shall round down to the nearest whole number, the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to such
holder.


 






    6


     


    

 


3.3.3 Valid Issuance.
All Ordinary Shares issued upon the proper exercise of a Warrant in conformity with this Agreement shall be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.


 


3.3.4 Date of Issuance.
Each person in whose name any book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for Ordinary Shares is issued and who is registered
in the register of members of the Company shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Ordinary
Shares on the date on which the Warrant, or book-entry position representing such Warrant, was surrendered and payment of the Warrant
Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate in the case of a certificated Warrant, except that, if
the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the register of members of the Company or book-entry system of the Warrant
Agent are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding
date on which the share transfer books or book-entry system are open.


 


3.3.5 Maximum Percentage.
A holder of a Warrant may notify the Company in writing in the event it elects to be subject to the provisions contained in this
subsection 3.3.5; provided, however, no holder of a Warrant shall be subject to this subsection 3.3.5 unless he,
she or it makes such election. If the election is made by a holder, the Warrant Agent shall not effect the exercise of the holder’s
Warrant, and such holder shall not have the right to exercise such Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise,
such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the Warrant Agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own
in excess of 9.8% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving
effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by
such person and its affiliates shall include the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant with respect to
which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude Ordinary Shares that would be issuable upon (x) exercise
of the remaining, unexercised portion of the Warrant beneficially owned by such person and its affiliates and (y) exercise or conversion
of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such person and its affiliates
(including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred shares or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion
or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph,
beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”). For purposes of the Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares,
the holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Annual Report
on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Commission as the case
may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or Continental Stock Transfer &
Trust Company, as transfer agent (in such capacity, the “Transfer Agent”), setting forth the number of
Ordinary Shares outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written request of the holder of the Warrant, the Company shall,
within two (2) Business Days, confirm orally and in writing to such holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. In any
case, the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise
of equity securities of the Company by the holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of issued and outstanding
Ordinary Shares was reported. By written notice to the Company, the holder of a Warrant may from time to time increase or decrease
the Maximum Percentage applicable to such holder to any other percentage specified in such notice; provided, however, that any
such increase shall not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company.

4.
Adjustments.


 


4.1 Share Capitalizations.


 


4.1.1 Sub-Divisions.
If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 below, the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary
Shares is increased by a capitalization or share dividend of Ordinary Shares, or by a sub-division of Ordinary Shares or other
similar event, then, on the effective date of such share capitalization, sub-division or similar event, the number of Ordinary
Shares issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the issued and outstanding Ordinary
Shares. A rights offering made to all or substantially all holders of Ordinary Shares entitling holders to purchase Ordinary Shares
at a price less than the “Historical Fair Market Value” (as defined below) shall be deemed a capitalization of a number
of Ordinary Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Ordinary Shares actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable
under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for the Ordinary Shares)
multiplied by (ii) one (1) minus the quotient of (x) the price per Ordinary Share paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the
Historical Fair Market Value. For purposes of this subsection 4.1.1, (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible
into or exercisable for Ordinary Shares, in determining the price payable for Ordinary Shares, there shall be taken into account
any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) “Historical
Fair Market Value” means the volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares during the ten (10) trading day
period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the Ordinary Shares trade on the applicable exchange or in the
applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights. No Ordinary Shares shall be issued at less than their
par value.


 


4.1.2 Extraordinary
Dividends. If the Company, at any time while the Warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pays to all or substantially all of
the holders of the Ordinary Shares a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets on account of such Ordinary
Shares (or other shares into which the Warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described in subsection 4.1.1 above,
(b) Ordinary Cash Dividends (as defined below), (c) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of the Ordinary Shares in connection
with a proposed initial Business Combination, (d) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of the Ordinary Shares in connection
with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s Charter (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation
to provide holders of Ordinary Shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the Company’s initial Business
Combination or to redeem 100% of the Company’s public shares if it does not complete its initial Business Combination within
the time period required by the Company’s Charter or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders
of Ordinary Shares, (e) as a result of the repurchase of Ordinary Shares by the Company if a proposed initial Business Combination
is presented to the shareholders of the Company for approval or (f) in connection with the redemption of public shares upon the
failure of the Company to complete its initial Business Combination and any subsequent distribution of its assets upon its liquidation
(any such non-excluded event being referred to herein as an “Extraordinary Dividend”), then the Warrant
Price shall be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such Extraordinary Dividend, by the amount of cash
and/or the fair market value (as determined by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”),
in good faith) of any securities or other assets paid on each Ordinary Share in respect of such Extraordinary Dividend. For purposes
of this subsection 4.1.2, “Ordinary Cash Dividends” means any cash dividend or cash distribution
which, when combined on a per share basis, with the per share amounts of all other cash dividends and cash distributions paid on
the Ordinary Shares during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution to the extent
it does not exceed $0.50 (which amount shall be adjusted to appropriately reflect any of the events referred to in other subsections
of this Section 4 and excluding cash dividends or cash distributions that resulted in an adjustment to the Warrant Price
or to the number of Ordinary Shares issuable on exercise of each Warrant).


 






    8


     


    

 


4.2 Aggregation of
Shares. If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6, the number of issued and outstanding
Ordinary Shares is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse share split or reclassification of Ordinary Shares or other
similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse share split, reclassification or similar
event, the number of Ordinary Shares issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in
issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares.


 


4.3 Adjustments
in Exercise Price. Whenever the number of Ordinary Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is adjusted, as provided
in subsection 4.1.1 or Section 4.2 above, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying
such Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of Ordinary
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall
be the number of Ordinary Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter.


 


4.4 Raising of the
Capital in Connection with the Initial Business Combination. If (x) the Company issues additional Ordinary Shares or equity-linked
securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue price or
effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Ordinary Share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in
good faith by the Board and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any
Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior
to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent
more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the Company’s initial Business
Combination on the date of the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the
volume-weighted average trading price of Ordinary Shares during the twenty (20) trading day period starting on the trading day
prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”)
is below $9.20 per share, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market
Value and the Newly Issued Price, the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described in Section 6.1 and Section
6.2 shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price
and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger price described in Section 6.2 shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be
equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

4.5 Replacement
of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the issued and outstanding Ordinary
Shares (other than a change under Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 or that solely affects the par value of such Ordinary
Shares), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation
or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization
of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the
assets or other property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is
dissolved, the holders of the Warrants shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms
and conditions specified in the Warrants and in lieu of the Ordinary Shares of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable
and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares or stock or other securities
or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution
following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the Warrants would have received if such holder had exercised his, her
or its Warrant(s) immediately prior to such event (the “Alternative Issuance”); provided, however, that
(i) if the holders of the Ordinary Shares were entitled to exercise a right of election as to the kind or amount of securities,
cash or other assets receivable upon such consolidation or merger, then the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets
constituting the Alternative Issuance for which each Warrant shall become exercisable shall be deemed to be the weighted average
of the kind and amount received per share by the holders of the Ordinary Shares in such consolidation or merger that affirmatively
make such election, and (ii) if a tender, exchange or redemption offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of the
Ordinary Shares (other than a tender, exchange or redemption offer made by the Company in connection with redemption rights held
by shareholders of the Company as provided for in the Company’s Charter or as a result of the repurchase of Ordinary Shares
by the Company if a proposed initial Business Combination is presented to the shareholders of the Company for approval) under circumstances
in which, upon completion of such tender or exchange offer, the maker thereof, together with members of any group (within the meaning
of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) of which such maker is a part, and together with any affiliate or associate of such
maker (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and any members of any such group of which any such affiliate or
associate is a part, own beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) more than 50% of the issued and
outstanding Ordinary Shares, the holder of a Warrant shall be entitled to receive as the Alternative Issuance, the highest amount
of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would actually have been entitled as a shareholder if such Warrant holder
had exercised the Warrant prior to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, accepted such offer and all of the Ordinary
Shares held by such holder had been purchased pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, subject to adjustments (from and after
the consummation of such tender or exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section
4; provided further that if less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of the Ordinary Shares in the applicable
event is payable in the form of shares in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or
is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event,
and if the Registered Holder properly exercises the Warrant within thirty (30) days following the public disclosure of the consummation
of such applicable event by the Company pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission, the Warrant Price shall
be reduced by an amount (in dollars) equal to the difference of (i) the Warrant Price in effect prior to such reduction minus (ii)
(A) the Per Share Consideration (as defined below) (but in no event less than zero) minus (B) the Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as
defined below). The “Black-Scholes Warrant Value” means the value of a Warrant immediately prior to the
consummation of the applicable event based on the Black-Scholes Warrant Model for a Capped American Call on Bloomberg Financial
Markets (assuming zero dividends) (“Bloomberg”). For purposes of calculating such amount, (i) Section
6 shall be taken into account, (ii) the price of each Ordinary Share shall be the volume weighted average price of the Ordinary
Shares during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the effective date of the applicable event, (iii)
the assumed volatility shall be the 90 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg determined as of the trading
day immediately prior to the day of the announcement of the applicable event and (iv) the assumed risk-free interest rate shall
correspond to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of the Warrant. “Per Share Consideration”
means (i) if the consideration paid to holders of the Ordinary Shares consists exclusively of cash, the amount of such cash per
Ordinary Share, and (ii) in all other cases, the volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares during the ten (10) trading
day period ending on the trading day prior to the effective date of the applicable event. If any reclassification or reorganization
also results in a change in Ordinary Shares covered by subsection 4.1.1, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to
subsection 4.1.1 or Sections 4.2, 4.3 and this Section 4.4. The provisions of this Section 4.4
shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers. In
no event shall the Warrant Price be reduced to less than the par value per share issuable upon exercise of such Warrant.

4.6 Notices of Changes
in Warrant. Upon every adjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, the Company
shall give written notice thereof to the Warrant Agent, which notice shall state the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment
and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of a Warrant, setting
forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Upon the occurrence of
any event specified in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 or 4.5, the Company shall give written notice
of the occurrence of such event to each holder of a Warrant, at the last address set forth for such holder in the Warrant Register,
of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the
legality or validity of such event.


 


4.7 No Fractional
Shares. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not issue fractional shares
upon the exercise of Warrants. If, by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4, the holder of any Warrant
would be entitled, upon the exercise of such Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company shall, upon such
exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to such holder.


 


4.8 Form of Warrant.
The form of Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4, and Warrants issued after
such adjustment may state the same Warrant Price and the same number of shares as is stated in the Warrants initially issued pursuant
to this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of Warrant
that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof, and any Warrant thereafter issued or countersigned,
whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.


 


5.
Transfer and Exchange of Warrants.


 


5.1 Registration of
Transfer. The Warrant Agent shall register the transfer, from time to time, of any outstanding Warrant upon the Warrant Register,
upon surrender of such Warrant for transfer, properly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed and accompanied by appropriate
instructions for transfer. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants shall be issued
and the old Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. In the case of certificated Warrants, the Warrants so cancelled shall
be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company from time to time upon request.


 


5.2 Procedure for
Surrender of Warrants. Warrants may be surrendered to the Warrant Agent, together with a written request for exchange or transfer,
and thereupon the Warrant Agent shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as requested by the Registered Holder
of the Warrants so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants; provided, however, that except as otherwise
provided herein or with respect to any Book-Entry Warrant, each Book-Entry Warrant may be transferred only in whole and only to
the Depositary, to another nominee of the Depositary, to a successor depository, or to a nominee of a successor depository; provided
further, however that in the event that a Warrant surrendered for transfer bears a restrictive legend (as in the case of the Private
Placement Warrants and the Forward Purchase Warrants), the Warrant Agent shall not cancel such Warrant and issue new Warrants in
exchange thereof until the Warrant Agent has received an opinion of counsel for the Company stating that such transfer may be made
and indicating whether the new Warrants must also bear a restrictive legend.


 


5.3 Fractional Warrants.
The Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange which shall result in the issuance of
a warrant certificate or book-entry position for a fraction of a warrant, except as part of the Units.


 


5.4 Service Charges.
No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrants.


 


5.5 Warrant Execution
and Countersignature. The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign and to deliver, in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, the Warrants required to be issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5, and the Company, whenever
required by the Warrant Agent, shall supply the Warrant Agent with Warrants duly executed on behalf of the Company for such purpose.


 






    11


     


    

 


5.6 Transfer of Public
Warrants. Prior to the Detachment Date, the Public Warrants may be transferred or exchanged only together with the Unit in
which such Public Warrant is included, and only for the purpose of effecting, or in conjunction with, a transfer or exchange of
such Unit. Furthermore, each transfer of a Unit on the register relating to such Units shall operate also to transfer the Public
Warrants included in such Unit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 5.6 shall have no effect on
any transfer of Public Warrants on and after the Detachment Date.


 


6.
Redemption.


 


6.1 Redemption of
Warrants for Cash. Subject to Section 6.5, not less than all of the outstanding Warrants may be redeemed, at the option
of the Company, at any time during the Exercise Period, at the office of the Warrant Agent, upon notice to the Registered Holders
of the Warrants, as described in Section 6.3 below, at a Redemption Price of $0.01 per Warrant; provided that (a) the Reference
Value equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (subject to adjustment in compliance with Section 4) and (b) there is an effective
registration statement covering the issuance of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and a current prospectus
relating thereto, available throughout the 30-day Redemption Period (as defined in Section 6.3 below).


 


6.2 Redemption
of Warrants for Ordinary Shares. Subject to Section 6.5, not less than all of the outstanding Warrants may be redeemed,
at the option of the Company, commencing 90 days after the beginning of the Exercise Period, at the office of the Warrant Agent,
upon notice to the Registered Holders of the Warrants, as described in Section 6.3 below, at a Redemption Price of $0.10
per Warrant; provided that (i) the Reference Value equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (subject to adjustment in compliance with
Section 4) and (ii) if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (subject to adjustment in compliance with Section
4), the Private Placement Warrants are also concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Warrants.
During the 30-day Redemption Period in connection with a redemption pursuant to this Section 6.2, Registered Holders of
the Warrants may elect to exercise their Warrants on a “cashless basis” pursuant to subsection 3.3.1 and receive
a number of Ordinary Shares determined by reference to the table below, based on the Redemption Date (calculated for purposes of
the table as the period to expiration of the Warrants) and the “Redemption Fair Market Value” (as such term is defined
in this Section 6.2) (a “Make-Whole Exercise”). Solely for purposes of this Section 6.2,
the “Redemption Fair Market Value” shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares
for the ten (10) trading days immediately following the date on which notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 6.2
is sent to the Registered Holders. In connection with any redemption pursuant to this Section 6.2, the Company shall provide
the Registered Holders with the Redemption Fair Market Value no later than one (1) Business Day after the ten (10) trading day
period described above ends.

The exact Redemption
Fair Market Value and Redemption Date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case, if the Redemption Fair Market Value
is between two values in the table or the Redemption Date is between two redemption dates in the table, the number of Ordinary
Shares to be issued for each Warrant exercised in a Make-Whole Exercise shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between
the number of shares set forth for the higher and lower Redemption Fair Market Values and the earlier and later redemption dates,
as applicable, based on a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable.


 


The share prices set
forth in the column headings of the table above shall be adjusted as of any date on which the number of shares issuable upon exercise
of a Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 4. If the number of shares issuable upon exercise of
a Warrant is adjusted pursuant to Section 4, the adjusted share prices in the column headings shall equal the share prices
immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares deliverable upon
exercise of a Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the number of shares deliverable upon
exercise of a Warrant as so adjusted. The number of shares in the table above shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same
time as the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant. If the Exercise Price of a warrant is adjusted, (a) in the case
of an adjustment pursuant to Section 4.4, the adjusted share prices in the column headings shall equal the share prices
immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the higher of the Market Value and the
Newly Issued Price and the denominator of which is $10.00 and (b) in the case of an adjustment pursuant to Section 4.1.2,
the adjusted share prices in the column headings shall equal the share prices immediately prior to such adjustment less the decrease
in the Exercise Price pursuant to such Exercise Price adjustment. In no event shall the number of shares issued in connection with
a Make-Whole Exercise exceed 0.361 Ordinary Shares per Warrant (subject to adjustment)


 


6.3 Date Fixed for,
and Notice of, Redemption; Redemption Price; Reference Value. In the event that the Company elects to redeem the Warrants pursuant
to Sections 6.1 or 6.2, the Company shall fix a date for the redemption (the “Redemption Date”).
Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by the Company not less than thirty (30) days prior
to the Redemption Date (the “30-day Redemption Period”) to the Registered Holders of the Warrants to
be redeemed at their last addresses as they shall appear on the registration books. Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided
shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the Registered Holder received such notice. As used in this
Agreement, (a) “Redemption Price” shall mean the price per Warrant at which any Warrants are redeemed
pursuant to Sections 6.1 or 6.2 and (b) “Reference Value” shall mean the last reported
sales price of the Ordinary Shares for any twenty (20) trading days within the thirty (30) trading-day period ending on the third
trading day prior to the date on which notice of the redemption is given.


 






    13


     


    

 


6.4 Exercise After
Notice of Redemption. The Warrants may be exercised, for cash (or on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section
6.2) at any time after notice of redemption shall have been given by the Company pursuant to Section 6.3 and prior to
the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date, the record holder of the Warrants shall have no further rights except to
receive, upon surrender of the Warrants, the Redemption Price.


 


6.5 Exclusion of Private
Placement Warrants. The Company agrees that (a) the redemption rights provided in Section 6.1 shall not apply to the
Private Placement Warrants if at the time of the redemption such Private Placement Warrants continue to be held by the Sponsor,
GEPT or any of their respective Permitted Transferees and (b) if the Reference Value equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (subject
to adjustment in compliance with Section 4), the redemption rights provided in Section 6.2 shall not apply to the
Private Placement Warrants if at the time of the redemption such Private Placement Warrants continue to be held by the Sponsor,
GEPT or their respective Permitted Transferees. However, once such Private Placement Warrants are transferred (other than to a
Permitted Transferee in accordance with Section 2.6), the Company may redeem the Private Placement Warrants pursuant to
Section 6.1 or 6.2; provided that the criteria for redemption are met, including the opportunity of the holder of
such Private Placement Warrants to exercise the Private Placement Warrants prior to redemption pursuant to Section 6.4.
Private Placement Warrants that are transferred to persons other than Permitted Transferees shall upon such transfer cease to be
Private Placement Warrants and shall become Public Warrants under this Agreement, including for purposes of Section 9.8.


 


7.
Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Warrants.


 


7.1 No Rights as Shareholder.
A Warrant does not entitle the Registered Holder thereof to any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including, without
limitation, the right to receive dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to vote or to consent or to
receive notice as shareholders in respect of the meetings of shareholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other
matter.


 


7.2 Lost, Stolen,
Mutilated, or Destroyed Warrants. If any Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Company and the Warrant Agent
may on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as they may in their discretion impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated
Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination, tenor, and date as the Warrant so lost, stolen,
mutilated, or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not
the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.


 


7.3 Reservation of
Ordinary Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued Ordinary
Shares that shall be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement.


 






    14


     


    

 


7.4 Registration of
Ordinary Shares; Cashless Exercise at Company’s Option.


 


7.4.1 Registration
of the Ordinary Shares. The Company agrees that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than twenty (20) Business Days
after the closing of its initial Business Combination, it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission
a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.
The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within sixty (60) Business Days
following the closing of its initial Business Combination and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and
a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration or redemption of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement. If any such registration statement has not been declared effective by the sixtieth (60th) Business Day
following the closing of the Business Combination, holders of the Warrants shall have the right, during the period beginning on
the sixty-first (61st) Business Day after the closing of the Business Combination and ending upon such registration
statement being declared effective by the Commission, and during any other period when the Company shall fail to have maintained
an effective registration statement covering the issuance of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, to exercise
such Warrants on a “cashless basis,” by exchanging the Warrants (in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities
Act or another exemption) for that number of Ordinary Shares equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the
product of the number of Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “Fair Market Value”
(as defined below) less the Warrant Price by (y) the Fair Market Value and (B) 0.361. Solely for purposes of this subsection
7.4.1, “Fair Market Value” shall mean the volume-weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares as
reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the date that notice of exercise is received
by the Warrant Agent from the holder of such Warrants or its securities broker or intermediary. The date that notice of “cashless
exercise” is received by the Warrant Agent shall be conclusively determined by the Warrant Agent. In connection with the
“cashless exercise” of a Public Warrant, the Company shall, upon request, provide the Warrant Agent with an opinion
of counsel for the Company (which shall be an outside law firm with securities law experience) stating that (i) the exercise of
the Warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with this subsection 7.4.1 is not required to be registered
under the Securities Act and (ii) the Ordinary Shares issued upon such exercise shall be freely tradable under United States federal
securities laws by anyone who is not an affiliate (as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the Company
and, accordingly, shall not be required to bear a restrictive legend. Except as provided in subsection 7.4.2, for the avoidance
of doubt, unless and until all of the Warrants have been exercised or have expired, the Company shall continue to be obligated
to comply with its registration obligations under the first three sentences of this subsection 7.4.1.


 


7.4.2 Cashless Exercise
at Company’s Option. If the Ordinary Shares are at the time of any exercise of a Public Warrant not listed on a national
securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities
Act, the Company may, at its option, (i) require holders of Public Warrants who exercise Public Warrants to exercise such Public
Warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act as described in subsection
7.4.1 and (ii) in the event the Company so elects, the Company shall (x) not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration
statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants,
notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and (y) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify
for sale the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrant under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption
is not available.


 


8.
Concerning the Warrant Agent and Other Matters.


 


8.1 Payment of Taxes.
The Company shall from time to time promptly pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company or the Warrant Agent
in respect of the issuance or delivery of Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of the Warrants, but the Company shall not be obligated
to pay any transfer taxes in respect of the Warrants or such shares.

8.2 Resignation, Consolidation,
or Merger of Warrant Agent.


 


8.2.1 Appointment
of Successor Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may resign its duties and be discharged
from all further duties and liabilities hereunder after giving sixty (60) days’ notice in writing to the Company. If the
office of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall appoint in writing
a successor Warrant Agent in place of the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of
thirty (30) days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the Warrant Agent or by the holder
of a Warrant (who shall, with such notice, submit his, her or its Warrant for inspection by the Company), then the holder of any
Warrant may apply to the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York for the appointment of a successor Warrant
Agent at the Company’s cost. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such court, shall be a corporation
or other entity organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York, in good standing and having its principal office
in the United States of America, and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority. After appointment, any successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with all the authority,
powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like effect as if originally named as
Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor
Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument transferring to such successor Warrant Agent
all the authority, powers, and rights of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and upon request of any successor Warrant Agent
the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting
in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations.


 


8.2.2 Notice of
Successor Warrant Agent. In the event a successor Warrant Agent shall be appointed, the Company shall give notice thereof to
the predecessor Warrant Agent and the Transfer Agent for the Ordinary Shares not later than the effective date of any such appointment.


 


8.2.3 Merger or
Consolidation of Warrant Agent. Any entity into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated
or any entity resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party shall be the successor Warrant
Agent under this Agreement without any further act.


 


8.3 Fees and Expenses
of Warrant Agent.


 


8.3.1 Remuneration.
The Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent reasonable remuneration for its services as such Warrant Agent hereunder and shall,
pursuant to its obligations under this Agreement, reimburse the Warrant Agent upon demand for all expenditures that the Warrant
Agent may reasonably incur in the execution of its duties hereunder.


 


8.3.2 Further Assurances.
The Company agrees to perform, execute, acknowledge, and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged, and delivered
all such further and other acts, instruments, and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Warrant Agent for the carrying
out or performing of the provisions of this Agreement.


 


8.4 Liability of Warrant
Agent.


 


8.4.1 Reliance on
Company Statement. Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary
or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder,
such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively
proved and established by a statement signed by the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Financial Officer, Chief
Operating Officer, the Secretary or the Chairman of the Board of the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent
may rely upon such statement for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.


 






    16


     


    

 


8.4.2 Indemnity.
The Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or bad faith. The Company
agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, out-of-pocket
costs and reasonable outside counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Agreement,
except as a result of the Warrant Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or bad faith.


 


8.4.3 Exclusions.
The Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the validity of this Agreement or with respect to the validity or
execution of any Warrant (except its countersignature thereof). The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any breach by the
Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any Warrant. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible
to make any adjustments required under the provisions of Section 4 or responsible for the manner, method, or amount of any
such adjustment or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such adjustment; nor shall it by any act hereunder
be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant
to this Agreement or any Warrant or as to whether any Ordinary Shares shall, when issued, be valid and fully paid and nonassessable.


 


8.5 Acceptance of
Agency. The Warrant Agent hereby accepts the agency established by this Agreement and agrees to perform the same upon the terms
and conditions herein set forth and among other things, shall account promptly to the Company with respect to Warrants exercised
and concurrently account for, and pay to the Company, all monies received by the Warrant Agent for the purchase of Ordinary Shares
through the exercise of the Warrants.


 


8.6 Waiver. The
Warrant Agent has no right of set-off or any other right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”)
in, or to any distribution of, the Trust Account (as defined in that certain Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of
the date, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company as trustee thereunder) and hereby
agrees not to seek recourse, reimbursement, payment or satisfaction for any Claim against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever.
The Warrant Agent hereby waives any and all Claims against the Trust Account and any and all rights to seek access to the Trust
Account.


 


9.

9.3 Applicable Law
and Exclusive Forum. The validity, interpretation, and performance of this Agreement and of the Warrants shall be governed
in all respects by the laws of the State of New York. Subject to applicable law, the Company hereby agrees that any action, proceeding
or claim against it arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement shall be brought and enforced in the courts of the
State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction,
which jurisdiction shall be exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. The Company hereby waives any objection to
such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions
of this paragraph will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim
for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum.


 


Any person or entity
purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in the Warrants shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum
provisions in this Section 9.3. If any action, the subject matter of which is within the scope the forum provisions above,
is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York (a “foreign action”) in the name of any warrant holder, such warrant holder shall
be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of New York
or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in connection with any action brought in any such court
to enforce the forum provisions (an “enforcement action”), and (y) having service of process made upon
such warrant holder in any such enforcement action by service upon such warrant holder’s counsel in the foreign action as
agent for such warrant holder.


 


9.4 Persons Having
Rights under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to confer upon, or give to, any person, corporation
or other entity other than the parties hereto and the Registered Holders of the Warrants any right, remedy, or claim under or by
reason of this Agreement or of any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise, or agreement hereof. All covenants, conditions, stipulations,
promises, and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their
successors and assigns and of the Registered Holders of the Warrants.


 


9.5 Examination of
the Warrant Agreement. A copy of this Agreement shall be available at all reasonable times at the office of the Warrant Agent
in the United States of America, for inspection by the Registered Holder of any Warrant. The Warrant Agent may require any such
holder to submit such holder’s Warrant for inspection by the Warrant Agent.


 






    18


     


    

 


9.6 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of original or facsimile counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all
purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.


 


9.7 Effect of Headings.
The section headings herein are for convenience only and are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the interpretation
thereof.


 


9.8 Amendments.
This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto without the consent of any Registered Holder for the purpose of (i) curing
any ambiguity or to correct any mistake, including to conform the provisions hereof to the description of the terms of the Warrants
and this Agreement set forth in the Prospectus, or defective provision contained herein, (ii) amending the definition of “Ordinary
Cash Dividend” as contemplated by and in accordance with the second sentence of subsection 4.1.2 or (iii) adding or
changing any provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement as the parties may deem necessary or
desirable and that the parties deem shall not adversely affect the rights of the Registered Holders under this Agreement. All other
modifications or amendments, including any modification or amendment to increase the Warrant Price or shorten the Exercise Period
and any amendment to the terms of only the Private Placement Warrants, shall require the vote or written consent of the Registered
Holders of 65% of the then-outstanding Public Warrants and Forward Purchase Warrants and, solely with respect to any amendment
to the terms of the Private Placement Warrants or any provision of this Agreement with respect to the Private Placement Warrants,
65% of the then-outstanding Private Placement Warrants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may lower the Warrant Price
or extend the duration of the Exercise Period pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, without the consent
of the Registered Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, after the issuance of the Forward Purchase Warrants
and prior to the effectiveness of a registration statement covering the resale of the Forward Purchase Warrants and the Ordinary
Shares underlying such Forward Purchase Warrants, any modification or amendment to the terms of the Forward Purchase Warrants shall
require the vote or written consent of the Registered Holders of 65% of the then-outstanding Forward Purchase Warrants. Upon effectiveness
of the registration statement covering the resale of the Forward Purchase Warrants and the Ordinary Shares underlying such Forward
Purchase Warrants, the Public Warrants and Forward Purchase Warrants will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted
to a vote of the holders of the Warrants


 


9.9 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 and be valid and enforceable.

Warrant Certificate


 


This Warrant
Certificate certifies that [          ], or registered assigns, is the
registered holder of [          ] warrant(s) (the “Warrants”
and each, a “Warrant”) to purchase Class A ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value (“Ordinary
Shares”), of Authentic Equity Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”).
Each Warrant entitles the holder, upon exercise during the period set forth in the Warrant Agreement referred to below, to receive
from the Company that number of fully paid and nonassessable Ordinary Shares as set forth below, at the exercise price (the “Exercise
Price”) as determined pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, payable in lawful money (or through “cashless exercise”
as provided for in the Warrant Agreement) of the United States of America upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate and payment
of the Exercise Price at the office or agency of the Warrant Agent referred to below, subject to the conditions set forth herein
and in the Warrant Agreement. Defined terms used in this Warrant Certificate but not defined herein shall have the meanings given
to them in the Warrant Agreement.


 


Each whole Warrant
is initially exercisable for one fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Share. Fractional shares shall not be issued upon exercise
of any Warrant. If, upon the exercise of Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in an Ordinary Share,
the Company shall, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to the Warrant
holder. The number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain
events as set forth in the Warrant Agreement.


 


The initial Exercise
Price per one Ordinary Share for any Warrant is equal to $11.50 per share. The Exercise Price is subject to adjustment upon the
occurrence of certain events as set forth in the Warrant Agreement.


 


Subject to the conditions
set forth in the Warrant Agreement, the Warrants may be exercised only during the Exercise Period and to the extent not exercised
by the end of such Exercise Period, such Warrants shall become void. The Warrants may be redeemed, subject to certain conditions,
as set forth in the Warrant Agreement.


 


Reference is hereby
made to the further provisions of this Warrant Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof and such further provisions shall for
all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place.


 






     


     


    

 


This Warrant Certificate
shall not be valid unless countersigned by the Warrant Agent, as such term is used in the Warrant Agreement. This Warrant Certificate
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

[Form of Warrant Certificate]


 


[Reverse]


 


The Warrants evidenced
by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly authorized issue of Warrants entitling the holder on exercise to receive [         ]
Ordinary Shares and are issued or to be issued pursuant to a Warrant Agreement dated as of January 20, 2021 (the “Warrant
Agreement”), duly executed and delivered by the Company to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a
New York corporation, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”), which Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated
by reference in and made a part of this instrument and is hereby referred to for a description of the rights, limitation of rights,
obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Warrant Agent, the Company and the holders (the words “holders”
or “holder” meaning the Registered Holders or Registered Holder, respectively) of the Warrants. A copy
of the Warrant Agreement may be obtained by the holder hereof upon written request to the Company. Defined terms used in this Warrant
Certificate but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Warrant Agreement.


 


Warrants may be exercised
at any time during the Exercise Period set forth in the Warrant Agreement. The holder of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate
may exercise them by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the form of Election to Purchase set forth hereon properly completed
and executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price as specified in the Warrant Agreement (or through “cashless exercise”
as provided for in the Warrant Agreement) at the principal corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent. In the event that upon
any exercise of Warrants evidenced hereby the number of Warrants exercised shall be less than the total number of Warrants evidenced
hereby, there shall be issued to the holder hereof or his, her or its assignee, a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the number
of Warrants not exercised.


 


Notwithstanding anything
else in this Warrant Certificate or the Warrant Agreement, no Warrant may be exercised unless at the time of exercise (i) a registration
statement covering the issuance of the Ordinary Shares to be issued upon exercise is effective under the Securities Act and (ii)
a prospectus thereunder relating to the Ordinary Shares is current, except through “cashless exercise” as provided
for in the Warrant Agreement.


 


The Warrant Agreement
provides that upon the occurrence of certain events the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants set forth
on the face hereof may, subject to certain conditions, be adjusted. If, upon exercise of a Warrant, the holder thereof would be
entitled to receive a fractional interest in an Ordinary Share, the Company shall, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole
number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to the holder of the Warrant.


 


Warrant Certificates,
when surrendered at the principal corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent by the Registered Holder thereof in person or by
legal representative or attorney duly authorized in writing, may be exchanged, in the manner and subject to the limitations provided
in the Warrant Agreement, but without payment of any service charge, for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of
like tenor evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants.


 


Upon due presentation
for registration of transfer of this Warrant Certificate at the office of the Warrant Agent a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant
Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants shall be issued to the transferee(s) in exchange
for this Warrant Certificate, subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, without charge except for any tax or
other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.


 


The Company and the
Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Registered Holder(s) hereof as the absolute owner(s) of this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding
any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone), for the purpose of any exercise hereof, of any distribution
to the holder(s) hereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice
to the contrary. Neither the Warrants nor this Warrant Certificate entitles any holder hereof to any rights of a shareholder of
the Company.

requests that a certificate for such Ordinary Shares be registered in the name of [         ],
whose address is [          ] and that such Ordinary Shares be delivered to [          ]
whose address is [          ]. If said [          ]

Certificate representing the remaining balance of such Ordinary Shares be registered in the name of [         ],
whose address is [          ] and that such Warrant Certificate be delivered
to [          ], whose address is [         ].


 


In the event that the
Warrant has been called for redemption by the Company pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Warrant Agreement and a holder thereof elects
to exercise its Warrant pursuant to a Make-Whole Exercise, the number of Ordinary Shares that this Warrant is exercisable for shall
be determined in accordance with subsection 3.3.1(c) or Section 6.2 of the Warrant Agreement, as applicable.


 


In the event that the
Warrant is a Private Placement Warrant that is to be exercised on a “cashless” basis pursuant to subsection 3.3.1(c)
of the Warrant Agreement, the number of Ordinary Shares that this Warrant is exercisable for shall be determined in accordance
with subsection 3.3.1(c) of the Warrant Agreement.


 


In the event that the
Warrant is to be exercised on a “cashless” basis pursuant to Section 7.4 of the Warrant Agreement, the number of Ordinary
Shares that this Warrant is exercisable for shall be determined in accordance with Section 7.4 of the Warrant Agreement.


 


In the event that the
Warrant may be exercised, to the extent allowed by the Warrant Agreement, through cashless exercise (i) the number of Ordinary
Shares that this Warrant is exercisable for would be determined in accordance with the relevant section of the Warrant Agreement
which allows for such cashless exercise and (ii) the holder hereof shall complete the following: The undersigned hereby irrevocably
elects to exercise the right, represented by this Warrant Certificate, through the cashless exercise provisions of the Warrant
Agreement, to receive Ordinary Shares. If said number of shares is less than all of the Ordinary Shares purchasable hereunder (after
giving effect to the cashless exercise), the undersigned requests that a new Warrant Certificate representing the remaining balance
of such Ordinary Shares be registered in the name of [         ], whose address is
[          ] and that such Warrant Certificate be delivered to [          ],
whose address is [          ].
