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 JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (or at another U.S. chartered commercial bank with consolidated assets of $100 billion
or more) in the United States, maintained by the Trustee 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;

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, 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 considerations;


 


(d) Collect and receive,
when due, all 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 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, President,
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 not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000
of interest that may be released to the Company 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
(or 27 months from the closing of the Offering if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive
agreement for a business combination within 24 months from the closing of the Offering) and (2) such later date as may be approved
by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, 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 (less 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;


 






    2


     


    

 


(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 income or franchise 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; provided, further, 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. 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 “Stockholder Redemption Withdrawal Instruction”), the Trustee shall distribute on behalf
of the Company the amount requested by the Company to be used to redeem shares of Common Stock from Public Stockholders properly
submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate
of incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares
of Common Stock if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within such time as is described in the Company’s
amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The written request of the Company referenced above shall constitute presumptive
evidence that the Company is entitled to distribute said funds, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to look beyond said
request; and


 


(l) Not make any withdrawals
or distributions from the Trust Account other than pursuant to Section 1(i), 1(j) or 1(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 Chairperson of the Board, President, Chief Executive Officer,
Chief Financial Officer or Secretary. In addition, except with respect to its duties under Sections 1(i), 1(j) and 1(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 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 a 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) Provide the Representatives
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;


 






    4


     


    

 


(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 Underwriters 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; and


 


(h) Within four (4) business
days after the Underwriters 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 $10,500,000.


 


3. Limitations

(a) Imply obligations, perform
duties, inquire or otherwise be subject to the provisions of any agreement or document other than this Agreement and that which

(d) Refund any depreciation
in principal of any Property;


 


(e) Assume that the authority
of any person designated by the Company to give instructions hereunder shall not be continuing unless provided otherwise in such
designation, or unless the Company shall have delivered a written revocation of such authority to the Trustee;


 


(f) 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, 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;


 






    5

file tax reports, income or other tax returns and pay any taxes with respect to any income generated by, and activities relating

to, income tax obligations, except pursuant to Section 1(j) hereof; or


 


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


 


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

notifies the Trustee that a successor trustee has been appointed 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


 






    6


     


    

 


(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.

par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company, voting together as a single class; provided that no such amendment will affect any
Public Stockholder who has properly elected to redeem his, her or its shares of Common Stock in connection with a stockholder vote
to approve an amendment to this Agreement that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem
100% of its public shares of Common Stock if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within the time frame
specified in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation), 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 Spartan Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”)
and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”), dated as of November 24, 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 [ ], 20[    ]. The Company shall notify you at least seventy-two (72) hours
in advance of the actual date 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 [ ] 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 Company shall direct on the Consummation
Date (including as directed to it by the Representative on behalf of the Underwriters (with respect to the Deferred Discount)).
It is acknowledged and agreed that while the funds are on deposit in the trust operating account at [ ] awaiting distribution,
the Company will not 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 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 of the Company, which verifies that
the Business Combination has been approved by a vote of the Company’s stockholders, 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 stockholders 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.


 






    Exhibit A-1


     


    

 


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 written instructions as soon
thereafter as possible.
