WHEREAS, the Company’s registration
statement on Form S-1, File No. 333-249354 (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 share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”),
and one-half of one redeemable warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock (such
initial public offering hereinafter referred to as the “Offering”), has been declared effective as of
the date hereof (the “Effective Date”) by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (capitalized terms
used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Registration Statement);


 


WHEREAS, the Company has entered into an
Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Morgan
Stanley & Co. LLC, as representatives (the “Representatives”) of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”)
named therein;


 


WHEREAS, as described in the Prospectus,
and in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as the same may be amended from time
to time (the “Charter”), $202,000,000 of the proceeds of the Offering and sale of the Private Placement
Warrants (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) (or $232,300,000, if the Underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised
in full) and the proceeds from any loans in connection with an Extension (as defined below), if any, 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”)
for the benefit of the Company and the holders of the Common Stock included in the Units issued in the Offering as hereinafter
provided (the amount to be delivered to the Trustee (and any interest subsequently earned
thereon) is referred to herein as the “Property,” the stockholders for whose benefit the Trustee shall
hold the Property will be referred to as the “Public Stockholders,” and the Public Stockholders and the
Company will be referred to together as the “Beneficiaries”);


 


WHEREAS, if a Business Combination (as defined
herein) is not consummated within the initial 18 month period following the closing of the IPO, the Company may extend such period
by six months (the “Extension”), for up to a maximum of 24 months in the aggregate, subject to the Company’s
sponsor Cascade Acquisition Holdings LLC (the “Sponsor”) or its affiliates or permitted designees depositing
$2,000,000 (or $2,300,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) into the Trust Account no later
than the 18 month anniversary of the IPO (the “Deadline”), in exchange for which the Sponsor will receive
a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note that will be repaid only if the Company completes a Business Combination by the
Deadline;


 


WHEREAS, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement,
a portion of the Property equal to $5,804,750, or $6,854,750 if the Underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full,
is attributable to deferred underwriting discounts and commissions that will be payable by the Company to the Underwriters upon
and concurrently with 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 in the United States at J.P. Morgan
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;


 


(c) In a timely manner, upon the written instruction
of the Company, invest and reinvest the Property solely 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 during such periods;


 


(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 Representatives
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 the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Secretary or
Chairman of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) or other authorized officer of the Company,
and, in the case of Exhibit A, acknowledged and agreed to by the Representatives, 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 tax obligations
(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) 18 months after the closing
of the Offering, (2) such later date upon an Extension effectuated pursuant to the terms hereof and (3) such later date as may
be approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the Charter 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 tax obligations (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; provided, however, that the Trustee has no
obligation to monitor or question the Company’s position that an allocation has been made for taxes payable;


 






    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, 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,
including any franchise 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, as applicable; 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; 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 (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, the Trustee shall distribute
to the remitting brokers on behalf of Public Stockholders redeeming shares of Common Stock the amount required to pay redeemed
shares of Common Stock from Public Stockholders;


 


(l) Upon receipt of an extension letter (“Extension
Letter”) substantially similar to Exhibit E hereto at least five business days prior to the Deadline, signed on behalf
of the Company by an executive officer, and receipt of the dollar amount specified in the Extension Letter on or prior to the Deadline,
follow the instructions set forth in the Extension Letter; and


 


(m) Not make any withdrawals or distributions
from the Trust Account other than pursuant to Sections 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 Chairman of the Board, either Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief
Operating 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;


 






    3


     


    

 


(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 the disbursements are made to the Company pursuant to Section 1(i) solely in connection with the completion
of a Business Combination (defined below). The Company shall pay the Trustee the initial acceptance fee and the first annual administration
fee at the consummation of the Offering and thereafter on the anniversary of the Effective Date. 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 (which inspector of elections
may be the Trustee) 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;


 


(f) Unless otherwise agreed between the Company
and the Representatives, 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 Representatives 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) 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;


 


(h) In the event the Company is entitled to
receive a tax refund on its 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 Representatives) of the amount of such tax refund;


 


(i) If the Company seeks to amend any provisions
of its Charter 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 with respect to any other provisions relating to
the rights of holders of the 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; and


 


(j) Within five (5) business days after the
Representatives, on behalf of 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 (with a copy to the Representatives) of the total amount
of the Deferred Discount.

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


 


(a) Take any action with respect to the Property,
other than as directed in Section 1 hereof, and the Trustee shall have no liability to any third party except for liability arising
out of the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct;


 


(b) Institute any proceeding for the collection
of any principal and income arising from, or institute, appear in or defend any proceeding of any kind with respect to, any of
the Property unless and until it shall have received instructions from the Company given as provided herein to do so and the Company
shall have advanced or guaranteed to it funds sufficient to pay any expenses incident thereto;


 


(c) Change the investment of any Property,
other than in compliance with Section 1 hereof;


 


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

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;


 


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

(i) Pay any taxes on behalf of the Trust Account
(it being expressly understood that the Property shall not be used to pay any such taxes and that such taxes, if any, shall be
paid by the Company from funds not held in the Trust Account, except in accordance with Section 1(j));


 


(j) Imply obligations, perform duties, inquire
or otherwise be subject to the provisions of any agreement or document other than this agreement and that which is expressly set
forth herein; or


 


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


     


    

 


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 (which section
may not be amended under any circumstances) and distributed the Property in accordance with the provisions of the Termination Letter,
this Agreement shall terminate except with respect to Section 2(b) and Section 4.


 


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. For purposes of
this Section 6(d), the “Consent of the Stockholders” means (i) receipt by the Trustee of a certificate
from the inspector of elections of the stockholder meeting certifying that 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 shares of the Common Stock and Class B common stock, par value
$0.0001 per share, 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 shares of the Common Stock and Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company voting together as
a single class, have delivered to the Trustee a signed writing approving such change, amendment or modification. No such amendment
will affect any Public Stockholder who has otherwise indicated his, her or its election to redeem his, her or its shares of Common
Stock in connection with a stockholder vote sought to amend this Agreement, including a corresponding change to the Charter. 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.

BY JURY.

Re: Trust Account - Termination Letter


 


Mr. Wolf and Ms. Gonzalez:


 


Pursuant to Section 1(i) of the Investment
Management Trust Agreement between Cascade Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) and Continental Stock Transfer
& Trust Company (the “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 the Target Business (the “Business Combination”) on or about
[insert date]. The Company shall notify you at least seventy-two (72) hours in advance (or such shorter time as you may agree)
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 transfer the proceeds to
a segregated account held by you on behalf of the Beneficiaries to the effect that, on the Consummation Date, all of the funds
held in the Trust Account at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. 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 Representatives 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 Account
at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. 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
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, 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 Representatives 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 to account
or accounts directed by the Representatives 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
