(b) Institute

other parties hereto or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted by the Trustee, or any action suffered by the Trustee to be taken
or omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of the Trustee’s best judgment, except for the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud

opinion, or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Trustee), 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 is believed by the Trustee, 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 correctness of the information set forth in the Registration Statement or to confirm or assure that any Business Combination consummated
by the Company or any other action taken by it is as contemplated by the Registration Statement;


 


(h) File

the Property;


 






    3 


     


    

 


(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 or released to it under Section 2(a)
hereof);


 


(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 Company requests for distributions pursuant to Sections 1(i), 1(j), or 2(a)
above.


 


5. 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 3(b) or Section 3(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.


 


6. 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 during which time the Trustee shall 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 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 3(b) and Section 5.


 


7. Miscellaneous.


 


(a) The
Company and the Trustee will each restrict access to confidential information relating to funds being transferred to or from the Trust
Account 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 information, or of any change in its authorized personnel. In executing funds transfers, the Trustee will
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 supplied to it or funds transferred based on such information.


 


(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. The parties hereto
consent to the jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, 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.


 


(c) 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.


 






    4 


     


    

 


(d) This
Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except for
Sections 1(i) and 1(j) (which sections may not be modified, amended or deleted without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
two thirds of the then outstanding Ordinary Shares in respect of which votes are cast at a duly convened general meeting of the Company;
provided that no such amendment will affect any Public Shareholder who has otherwise indicated his, her or its election to convert his,
her or its shares of Ordinary Shares in connection with a shareholder vote sought to amend this Agreement, including a corresponding change
to the Company’s MAA), this Agreement or any provision hereof may only be changed, amended or modified by a writing signed by each
of the parties hereto; provided, however, that no such change, amendment or modification may be made without the prior written consent
of the Representative. The Trustee may require from Company counsel an opinion as to the propriety of any proposed amendment.


 


(e) Any
notice, consent or request to be given in connection with any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall
