NOW THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:


 


1.            
Agreements and Covenants of Trustee. The Trustee hereby agrees and covenants to:


 


(a)          
Hold the Property in trust for the Beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in the Trust Account established
by the Trustee in the United States at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and at a brokerage institution selected by the Trustee that
is reasonably satisfactory to the Company;


 


(b)          
Manage, supervise and administer the Trust Account subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;


 


(c)          
In a timely manner, upon the written instruction of the Company, invest and reinvest the Property in United States government securities

less, or in money market funds meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7
promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (or any successor rule), which invest only in direct U.S. government
treasury obligations, as determined by the Company; the Trustee may not invest in any other securities or assets, it being understood
that the Trust Account will earn no interest while account funds are uninvested awaiting the Company’s instructions hereunder
and the Trustee may earn bank credits or other consideration;


 



    	 	 	 



     


    




 





(d)          
Collect and receive, when due, all principal, interest or other income arising from the Property, which shall become part of the
 “Property,” as such term is used herein;


 


(e)          
Promptly notify the Company and the Underwriter of all communications received by the Trustee with respect to any Property requiring
action by the Company;


 


(f)           
Supply any necessary information or documents as may be requested by the Company (or its authorized agents) in connection with
the Company’s preparation of the tax returns relating to assets held in the Trust Account;


 


(g)          
Participate in any plan or proceeding for protecting or enforcing any right or interest arising from the Property if, as and when
instructed by the Company to do so;


 


(h)          
Render to the Company monthly written statements of the activities of, and amounts in, the Trust Account reflecting all receipts
and disbursements of the Trust Account;


 


(i)           
Commence liquidation of the Trust Account only after and promptly after (x) receipt of, and only in accordance with, the terms
of a letter from the Company (“Termination Letter”) in a form substantially similar to that attached
hereto as either Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as applicable, signed on behalf of the Company by its Chief Executive
Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary or Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”)
or other authorized officer of the Company, and complete the liquidation of the Trust Account and distribute the Property in the
Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay
its franchise and income taxes (and up to $100,000 of interest that may be released to the Company to pay dissolution expenses,
if applicable), only as directed in the Termination Letter and the other documents referred to therein, or (y) upon the date
which is 24 months after the closing of the Offering, if a Termination Letter has not been received by the Trustee prior to such
date, in which case the Trust Account shall be liquidated in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Termination Letter
attached as Exhibit B and the Property in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Company
to pay its franchise and income taxes (up to $100,000 of interest that may be released to the Company to pay dissolution expenses)
shall be distributed to the Public Stockholders of record as of such date; provided, however, that in the event the
Trustee receives a Termination Letter in a form substantially similar to Exhibit B hereto, or if the Trustee begins
to liquidate the Property because it has received no such Termination Letter by the date which is 24 months after the closing of
the Offering, the Trustee shall keep the Trust Account open until twelve (12) months following the date the Property has been distributed
to the Public Stockholders. It is acknowledged and agreed that there should be no reduction in the principal amount initially deposited
in the Trust Account;


 


(j)           
Upon written request from the Company, which may be given from time to time in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto
as Exhibit C (a “Withdrawal Instruction”), withdraw from the Trust Account and distribute
to the Company the amount of interest earned on the Property requested by the Company to cover any franchise or income tax obligations
owed by the Company as a result of assets of the Company or interest or other income earned on the Property, which amount shall
be delivered directly to the Company by electronic funds transfer or other method of prompt payment, and the Company shall forward
such payment to the relevant taxing authority, if such distribution is for a tax obligation; provided, however, that
to the extent there is not sufficient cash in the Trust Account to pay such tax obligation, the Trustee shall liquidate such assets
held in the Trust Account as shall be designated by the Company in writing to make such distribution; so long as there is no reduction
in the principal amount initially deposited in the Trust Account; provided, however, that if the tax to be paid is
a franchise tax, the written request by the Company to make such distribution shall be accompanied by a copy of the franchise tax
bill from the State of Delaware for the Company and a written statement from the principal financial officer of the Company setting
forth the actual amount payable (it being acknowledged and agreed that any such amount in excess of interest income earned on the
Property shall not be payable from the Trust Account). The written request of the Company referenced above shall constitute presumptive
evidence that the Company is entitled to said funds, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to look beyond said request;


 



    	 	 	 



     


    




 


(k)          
Upon written request from the Company, which may be given from time to time in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto
as Exhibit D (a “Shareholder Redemption Withdrawal Instruction”), the Trustee shall distribute
to the remitting brokers on behalf of Public Stockholders redeeming Class A Common Stock the amount required to pay redeemed
Class A Common Stock from Public Stockholders; and


 





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


 


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


 


(a)          
Give all instructions to the Trustee hereunder in writing, signed by the Company’s Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive
Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Secretary. In addition, except with respect to its duties under Sections 1(i), (j) and
(k) hereof, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, any verbal or telephonic
advice or instruction which it, in good faith and with reasonable care, believes to be given by any one of the persons authorized
above to give written instructions, provided that the Company shall promptly confirm such instructions in writing;


 


(b)          
Subject to Section 4 hereof, hold the Trustee harmless and indemnify the Trustee from and against any and all expenses,
including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, or losses suffered by the Trustee in connection with any action taken by it
hereunder and in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding brought against the Trustee involving any claim, or in connection
with any claim or demand, which in any way arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services of the Trustee hereunder, or
the Property or any interest earned on the Property, except for expenses and losses resulting from the Trustee’s gross negligence,
fraud or willful misconduct. Promptly after the receipt by the Trustee of notice of demand or claim or the commencement of any
action, suit or proceeding, pursuant to which the Trustee intends to seek indemnification under this Section 2(b),
it shall notify the Company in writing of such claim (hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnified Claim”).
The Trustee shall have the right to conduct and manage the defense against such Indemnified Claim; provided that the Trustee
shall obtain the consent of the Company with respect to the selection of counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
The Trustee may not agree to settle any Indemnified Claim without the prior written consent of the Company, which such consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company may participate in such action with its own counsel;


 


(c)          
Pay the Trustee the fees set forth on Schedule A hereto, including an initial acceptance fee, annual administration fee,
and transaction processing fee which fees shall be subject to modification by the parties from time to time. It is expressly understood
that the Property shall not be used to pay such fees unless and until it is distributed to, or on behalf of, the Company pursuant
to Sections 1(i) through 1(k) hereof. The Company shall pay the Trustee the initial acceptance fee and
the first annual administration fee at the consummation of the Offering. The Company shall not be responsible for any other fees
or charges of the Trustee except as set forth in this Section 2(c), Schedule A and as may be provided in Section 2(b) hereof;


 


(d)          
In connection with any vote of the Company’s stockholders regarding merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock
purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses (the “Business
Combination”), provide to the Trustee an affidavit or certificate of the inspector of elections for the stockholder
meeting verifying the vote of such stockholders regarding such Business Combination;


 


(e)          
In connection with the Trustee acting as Paying/Disbursing Agent pursuant to Exhibit B, the Company will not give the
Trustee disbursement instructions which would be prohibited under this Agreement;


 


(f)           
Provide the Underwriter with a copy of any Termination Letter(s) and/or any other correspondence that is sent to the Trustee
with respect to any proposed withdrawal from the Trust Account promptly after it issues the same;

Instruct the Trustee to make only those distributions that are permitted under this Agreement, and refrain from instructing the
Trustee to make any distributions that are not permitted under this Agreement;

Expressly provide in any Instruction Letter (as defined in Exhibit A) delivered in connection with a Termination Letter
in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit A that the Deferred Discount be paid directly to
the account or accounts directed by the Underwriter prior to any transfer of the funds held in the Trust Account to the Company
or any other person;


 


(i)           
Instruct the Trustee to make only those distributions that are permitted under this Agreement, and refrain from instructing the
Trustee to make any distributions that are not permitted under this Agreement;


 


(j)           
Within five business days after the Underwriter exercises the over-allotment option (or any unexercised portion thereof) or such
over-allotment option expires, provide the Trustee with a notice in writing (with a copy to the Underwriter) of the total amount
of the Deferred Discount;


 


(k)           
In the event the Company is entitled to receive a tax refund on its income tax obligation, and promptly after the amount of such
refund is determined on a final basis, provide the Trustee with notice in writing (with a copy to the Underwriter) of the amount
of such income tax refund; and


 


(l)          
If the Company seeks to amend any provisions of its certificate of incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the
Company’s Public Stockholders’ ability to convert or sell their shares to the Company in connection with a Business
Combination or which would adversely affect the rights of holders of the Class A Common Stock, (in each case, an “Amendment”),
the Company will provide the Trustee with a letter (an “Amendment Notification Letter”) in the form of
Exhibit D providing instructions for the distribution of funds to Public Stockholders who exercise their conversion
option in connection with such Amendment.

to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account, and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account
that it may have now or in the future. In the event the Trustee has any Claim against the Company under this Agreement, including,
without limitation, under Section 2(b) or (c) hereof, the Trustee shall pursue such Claim solely against
the Company and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the Property or any monies in the Trust Account.


 


5.            
Termination. This Agreement shall terminate as follows:


 


(a)          
If the Trustee gives written notice to the Company that it desires to resign under this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable

subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee shall transfer the management of the Trust Account to the successor trustee,
including but not limited to the transfer of copies of the reports and statements relating to the Trust Account, whereupon this
Agreement shall terminate; provided, however, that in the event that the Company does not locate a successor trustee within ninety
(90) days of receipt of the resignation notice from the Trustee, the Trustee may submit an application to have the Property deposited
with any court in the State of New York or with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and upon
such deposit, the Trustee shall be immune from any liability whatsoever; or


 


(b)          
At such time that the Trustee has completed the liquidation of the Trust Account and its obligations in accordance with the provisions
of Section 1(i) hereof and distributed the Property in accordance with the provisions of the Termination Letter,
this Agreement shall terminate except with respect to Section 2(b).


 


6.            
Miscellaneous.


 


(a)          
The Company and the Trustee each acknowledge that the Trustee will follow the security procedures set forth below with respect
to funds transferred from the Trust Account. The Company and the Trustee will each restrict access to confidential information
relating to such security procedures to authorized persons. Each party must notify the other party immediately if it has reason
to believe unauthorized persons may have obtained access to such confidential information, or of any change in its authorized
personnel. In executing funds transfers, the Trustee shall rely upon all information supplied to it by the Company, including,
account names, account numbers, and all other identifying information relating to a Beneficiary, Beneficiary’s bank or intermediary
bank. Except for any liability arising out of the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, the Trustee shall
not be liable for any loss, liability or expense resulting from any error in the information or transmission of the funds.


 



    	 	 	 



     


    







 


(b)          
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving
effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. This
Agreement may be executed in several original or facsimile counterparts, each one of which shall constitute an original, and together
shall constitute but one instrument.


 


(c)          
This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.
This Agreement or any provision hereof may only be changed, amended or modified (other than to correct a typographical error) by
a writing signed by each of the parties hereto.


 


(d)          
This Agreement or any provision hereof may only be changed, amended or modified pursuant to Section 6(c) hereof
with the Consent of the Stockholders, it being the specific intention of the parties hereto that each of the Company’s stockholders
is, and shall be, a third party beneficiary of this Section 6(d) with the same right and power to enforce this
Section 6(d) as the other parties hereto. For purposes of this Section 6(d), the “Consent
of the Stockholders” means receipt by the Trustee of a certificate from the inspector of elections of the stockholder
meeting certifying that either (i) the Company’s stockholders of record as of a record date established in accordance
with Section 213(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (or any successor rule), who hold sixty-five
percent (65%) or more of all then outstanding voting power of the Class A Common Stock and Class B common stock, par
value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), of the Company voting together as a single class,
have voted in favor of such change, amendment or modification, or (ii) the Company’s stockholders of record as of the
record date who hold sixty-five percent (65%) or more of all then outstanding voting power of the Class A Common Stock and
Class B Common Stock voting together as a single class, have delivered to such entity a signed writing approving such change,
amendment or modification. No such amendment will affect any Public Stockholder who has otherwise indicated his election to redeem
his shares of Class A Common Stock in connection with a stockholder vote sought to amend this Agreement. Except for any liability
arising out of the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, the Trustee may rely conclusively on the certification
from the inspector or elections referenced above and shall be relieved of all liability to any party for executing the proposed
amendment in reliance thereon.


 


(e)          
The parties hereto consent to the jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court located in the City of New York, State of
New York, for purposes of resolving any disputes hereunder. AS TO ANY CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY WAY RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.


 


(f)

In accordance with the terms of the Trust
Agreement, we hereby authorize you to commence to liquidate all of the assets of the Trust Account, and to transfer the proceeds
into the trust operating account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. to the effect that, on the Consummation Date, all of funds held
in the Trust Account will be immediately available for transfer to the account or accounts that the Company shall direct on the
Consummation Date.  It is acknowledged and agreed that while the funds are on deposit in the trust operating account at J.P.
