This Investment Management Trust Agreement
(this “Agreement”) is made effective as of November 18, 2020 by and between Consonance-HFW Acquisition
Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust
Company, a New York corporation (the “Trustee”).


 


WHEREAS, the Company’s registration
statement on Form S-1, File No. (333-249394) (the “Registration Statement”) and prospectus (the “Prospectus”)
for the initial public offering of the Company’s units (the “Units”), each of which consists of
one of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”),
and one-third of one redeemable warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share (such initial
public offering hereinafter referred to as the “Offering”), has been declared effective as of the date
hereof by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; and


 


WHEREAS, the Company has entered into an
Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representative
(the “Representative”) of the underwriter (the “Underwriter”) named therein;
and


 


WHEREAS, as described in the Prospectus,
$80,000,000 of the gross proceeds of the Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement)
(or $92,000,000 if the Underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised in full) will be delivered to the Trustee to be deposited
and held in a segregated trust account located at all times in the United States (the “Trust Account”)

provided (the amount to be delivered to the Trustee (and any interest subsequently earned thereon) is referred to herein as the
 “Property,” the shareholders for whose benefit the Trustee shall hold the Property will be referred to
as the “Public Shareholders,” and the Public Shareholders and the Company will be referred to together

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement,
a portion of the Property equal to $2,800,000, or $3,220,000 if the Underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised in full,
is attributable to deferred underwriting discounts and commissions that will be payable by the Company to the Underwriter upon
the consummation of the Business Combination (as defined below) (the “Deferred Discount”); and


 


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


 


NOW THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:


 


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



 


		(a)	Hold the Property in trust for the Beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in the Trust Account established
by the Trustee located in the United States at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (or at another U.S. chartered commercial bank with

is reasonably satisfactory to the Company;



 


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



 






    1


     


    

 


(c)            In a timely manner, upon the written instruction of the Company, invest and reinvest the Property in United States
government securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, having a maturity
of 185 days or 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 Representative 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 following (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 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 income taxes, if any, (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses),
only as directed in the Termination Letter and the other documents referred to therein, or (y) upon the date which is the later
of (1) 24 months after the closing of the Offering and (2) such later date as may be approved by the Company’s shareholders
in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, if a Termination Letter has
not been received by the Trustee prior to such date, in which case the Trust Account shall be liquidated in accordance with the
procedures set forth in the Termination Letter attached as Exhibit B and the Property in the Trust Account, including interest
earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its income taxes, if any, (less
up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), shall be distributed to the Public Shareholders of record as of such date;


 


(j)             Upon written request from the Company, which may be given from time to time in a form substantially similar to that
attached hereto as Exhibit C (a “Tax Payment Withdrawal Instruction”), withdraw from the Trust
Account and distribute to the Company the amount of interest earned on the Property requested by the Company to cover any tax obligation
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, so long as there is no reduction in the principal amount per share initially deposited
in the Trust Account; 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 per share initially deposited in
the Trust Account (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;


 






    2


     


    

 


(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 Shareholders redeeming Ordinary Shares the amount required to pay
redeemed Ordinary Shares from Public Shareholders pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles
of association; and


 


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

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


 


(b)            Subject to Section 4 hereof, hold the Trustee harmless and indemnify the Trustee from and against any and
all reasonable and documented expenses, including reasonable 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 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) and as may be provided in Section 2(b) hereof;


 






    3


     


    

 


(d)            In connection with any vote of the Company’s shareholders regarding a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition,
share 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 shareholder
meeting verifying the vote of such shareholders regarding such Business Combination;


 


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


 


(f)             Unless otherwise agreed between the Company and the Representative, ensure that any Instruction Letter (as defined
in Exhibit A) delivered in connection with a Termination Letter in the form of Exhibit A expressly provides that
the Deferred Discount is paid directly to the account or accounts directed by the Representative on behalf of the Underwriter prior
to any transfer of the funds held in the Trust Account to the Company or any other person;


 


(g)            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;


 


(h)            If the Company seeks to amend any provisions of its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A)
to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of the Ordinary Shares the right to have
their shares redeemed in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Ordinary Shares
if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within the time period set forth therein or (B) with respect
to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Ordinary Shares (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 Shareholders who exercise their redemption option
and properly tender their shares in connection with such Amendment; and


 


(i)             Within five (5) business days after the Underwriter exercise the over-allotment option (or any unexercised portion
thereof) or such over-allotment option expires, provide the Trustee with a notice in writing of the total amount of the Deferred
Discount, which shall in no event be less than $2,800,000.


 


		3.	Limitations of Liability. The Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability to:

other than this Agreement and that which is expressly set forth herein;


 


(b)            Take

(g)            The other parties hereto or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to
be taken or omitted, in good faith and in the Trustee’s best judgment, except for the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud
or willful misconduct. The Trustee may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate,
opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Trustee with written notification to the Company, which counsel may
be the Company’s counsel), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and
the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained)
which the Trustee believes, in good faith and with reasonable care, to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person
or persons. The Trustee shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this
Agreement or any of the terms hereof, unless evidenced by a written instrument delivered to the Trustee, signed by the proper party
or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Trustee are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto;


 


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

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


 






    5


     


    

 


4.          Trust Account Waiver. The Trustee has no right of set-off or any right, title, interest or claim of any kind
(“Claim”) to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account, and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim to, or
to any monies in, the Trust Account that it may have now or in the future. In the event the Trustee has any Claim against the Company
under this Agreement, including, without limitation, under Section 2(b) or Section 2(c) hereof, the Trustee shall
pursue such Claim solely against the Company and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the Property or any monies
in the Trust Account.


 


		5.	Termination. This Agreement shall terminate as follows:



 


(a)            If the Trustee gives written notice to the Company that it desires to resign under this Agreement, the Company shall
use its reasonable efforts to locate a successor trustee, pending which the Trustee shall continue to act in accordance with this
Agreement. At such time that the Company notifies the Trustee that a successor trustee has been appointed by the Company and has
agreed to become subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee shall transfer the management of the Trust Account to the
successor trustee, including but not limited to the transfer of copies of the reports and statements relating to the Trust Account,
whereupon this Agreement shall terminate; provided, however, that in the event that the Company does not locate a
successor trustee within 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 herein
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,

(c)            This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof. Except for Section 1(i), 1(j) and 1(k) hereof (which sections may not be modified, amended
or deleted without the affirmative vote of sixty-five percent (65%) of the then outstanding Ordinary Shares and Class B ordinary
shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company, voting together as a single class; provided that no such amendment
will affect any Public Shareholder who has properly elected to redeem his or her Ordinary Shares in connection with a shareholder
vote for an Amendment, 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.

		Re:	Trust Account - Termination Letter



 


Dear Mr. Wolf and Ms. Gonzalez:


 


Pursuant to Section 1(i) of the Investment
Management Trust Agreement between Consonance-HFW Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) and Continental Stock Transfer
 & Trust Company (“Trustee”), dated as of [●], 2020 (the “Trust Agreement”), this is to advise
you that the Company has entered into an agreement with [_____] (the “Target Business”) to consummate a business combination
with Target Business (the “Business Combination”) on or about [_____]. The Company shall notify you at least seventy-two
(72) hours in advance of the actual date (or such shorter time period as you may agree) of the consummation of the Business Combination
(the “Consummation Date”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the
Trust Agreement.


 


In accordance with the terms of the Trust
Agreement, we hereby authorize you to commence to liquidate all of the assets of the Trust Account, and to transfer the proceeds
into the trust operating account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. to the effect that, on the Consummation Date, all of the funds
held in the Trust Account will be immediately available for transfer to the account or accounts that the Representative (with
respect to the Deferred Discount) and the Company shall direct on the Consummation Date. It is acknowledged and agreed that while
the funds are on deposit in said trust operating account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. awaiting distribution, neither the Company
nor the Representative will earn any interest or dividends.


 


On the Consummation Date (i) counsel for
the Company shall deliver to you written notification that the Business Combination has been consummated, or will be consummated
substantially concurrently with your transfer of funds to the accounts as directed by the Company (the “Notification”),
and (ii) the Company shall deliver to you (a) a certificate of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or other authorized
officer of the Company, which verifies that the Business Combination has been approved by a vote of the Company’s shareholders,
if a vote is held and (b) a joint written instruction signed by the Company and the Representative with respect to the transfer
of the funds held in the Trust Account, including payment of amounts owed to public shareholders who have properly exercised their
redemption rights and payment of the Deferred Discount directly to the account or accounts directed by the Representative from
the Trust Account (the “Instruction Letter”). You are hereby directed and authorized to transfer the funds held in
the Trust Account immediately upon your receipt of the Notification and the Instruction Letter, in accordance with the terms of
the Instruction Letter. In the event that certain deposits held in the Trust Account may not be liquidated by the Consummation
Date without penalty, you will notify the Company in writing of the same and the Company shall direct you as to whether such funds
should remain in the Trust Account and be distributed after the Consummation Date to the Company. Upon the distribution of all
the funds, net of any payments necessary for reasonable unreimbursed expenses related to liquidating the Trust Account, your obligations
under the Trust Agreement shall be terminated.


 






    


     


    

 


In the event that the Business Combination
is not consummated on the Consummation Date described in the notice thereof and we have not notified you on or before the original
Consummation Date of a new Consummation Date, then upon receipt by the Trustee of written instructions from the Company, the funds
held in the Trust Account shall be reinvested as provided in Section 1(c) of the Trust Agreement on the business day immediately
following the Consummation Date as set forth in such notice as soon thereafter as possible.


 


	 	Very truly yours,
	 
	 	Consonance-HFW Acquisition Corp.
	 
	 	By:
	 	Name:
	 	Title

In accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, we hereby
