 Exhibit 4.5 

FORM OF PRIVATE WARRANT AGREEMENT 

THIS PRIVATE WARRANT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of [ ], 2021, is by and between M3-Brigade Acquisition III Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York limited purpose trust company, as
warrant agent (in such capacity, the “Warrant Agent”).  
 WHEREAS, on [ ], 2021,
the Company entered into that certain Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement with M3-Brigade Sponsor III LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Sponsor”) and Cantor
Fitzgerald & Co., the representative of the underwriters in the Offering, as defined below (the “Representative”), pursuant to which the Sponsor and the Representative will purchase an aggregate of 7,046,667 warrants
simultaneously with the closing of the Offering, as defined below (and the closing of the Over-Allotment Option (as defined below), if applicable), bearing the legend set forth in Exhibit A hereto (the “Private Placement
Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant; 
 WHEREAS, in order to finance the Company’s
transaction costs in connection with an intended initial merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Company and one or more businesses (a “Business
Combination”), the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan to the Company funds as the Company may require, of which up to $1,500,000 of such
loans may be convertible into up to an additional 1,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant (the “Working Capital Warrants” and, together with the Private Placement Warrants, the
“Warrants”); 
 WHEREAS, the Company is engaged in an initial public offering (the
“Offering”) of units of the Company’s equity securities, each such unit comprised of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and one-third of one redeemable Warrant (the “Public Warrants”, which, with the Common Stock, comprise the “Units”) and, in connection therewith, has determined to issue
and deliver up to 9,583,333 warrants to public investors in the Offering; 
 WHEREAS, the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-1, File No. 333-256017 (the “Registration
Statement”) and prospectus (the “Prospectus”) for the registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the Units, the warrants and the shares of Common
Stock included in the Units; 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is
willing to so act, in connection with the issuance, registration, transfer, exchange and exercise of the Warrants; 
 WHEREAS, the Company
desires to provide for the form and provisions of the Warrants, the terms upon which they shall be issued and exercised, and the respective rights, limitation of rights, and immunities of the Company, the Warrant Agent, and the holders of the
Warrants; and 
  












 WHEREAS, all acts and things have been done and performed which are necessary to make the
Warrants, when executed on behalf of the Company and countersigned by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent (in the case of definitive physical warrant certificates) or otherwise registered (in the case of book entry warrants), as provided herein, the
valid, binding and legal obligations of the Company, and to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Appointment of Warrant Agent. The
Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company for the Warrants, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the same in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

 2. Warrants. 
 2.1.
Form of Warrant. Each Warrant shall initially be issued in registered form only. 
 2.2. Effect of Countersignature. If a
physical definitive certificate is issued, unless and until countersigned by the Warrant Agent, either by manual or facsimile signature, pursuant to this Agreement, a Warrant certificate shall be invalid and of no effect and may not be exercised by
the holder thereof. 
 2.3. Registration. 

2.3.1. Warrant Register. The Warrant Agent shall maintain books (the “Warrant Register”) for the registration
of the initial issuance of the Warrants and the registration of transfer of the Warrants in book-entry form. Upon the initial issuance of the Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall issue and register the Warrants in the names of the respective holders
thereof in such denominations and otherwise in accordance with instructions delivered to the Warrant Agent by the Company. If requested, the Registered Holder (as defined below) shall be issued a definitive certificate in physical form evidencing
such Warrants which shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Definitive Warrant Certificate”). 
 Physical
definitive certificates, if issued, shall be signed by, or bear the facsimile signature of, the Chairman of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, the President, the Treasurer
or the Secretary or other principal officer of the Company. In the event the person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Warrant shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Warrant before the Warrant is
issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance. 

  
 2 













 2.3.2. Registered Holder. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of
any Warrant, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name such Warrant is registered in the Warrant Register (the “Registered Holder”) as the absolute owner of such Warrant and of each Warrant
represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on any physical definitive certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Warrant Agent) for the purpose of any exercise thereof, and for all other purposes,
and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
 2.4. Fractional Warrants. The
Company shall not issue fractional Warrants other than as part of the Units, each of which is comprised of one share of Common Stock and one-third of one Public Warrant. 

2.5. Working Capital Warrants. The Working Capital Warrants shall be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. 

3. Terms and Exercise of Warrants. 

3.1. Warrant Price. Each Warrant shall entitle the Registered Holder thereof, subject to the provisions of such Warrant and of this
Agreement, to purchase from the Company the number of shares of Common Stock stated therein, at the price of $11.50 per share, subject to the adjustments provided in Section 4 hereof and in the last sentence of this
Section 3.1. The term “Warrant Price” as used in this Agreement shall mean the price per share (including in cash or by payment for the Warrants pursuant to a “cashless exercise,” to the extent permitted
hereunder) at which each share of Common Stock may be purchased at the time a Warrant is exercised. The Company in its sole discretion may lower the Warrant Price at any time prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below) for a period of not less
than twenty (20) Business Days; provided, that the Company shall provide at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of such reduction to Registered Holders of the Warrants; and provided further, that any such reduction shall be
identical among all of the Warrants. 
 3.2. Duration of Warrants. A Warrant may be exercised only during the period (the
“Exercise Period”) (A) commencing on the later of (i) the date that is thirty (30) days after the first date on which the Company completes Business Combination, and (ii) the date that is twelve
(12) months from the date of the closing of the Offering, and (B) terminating upon the earliest to occur of (x) at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is five (5) years after the date on which the Company
completes its initial Business Combination and (y) the liquidation of the Company, in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (as further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to
time, the “Certificate of Incorporation”), if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination (the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, that the exercise of any Warrant shall be subject to the
satisfaction of any applicable conditions, as set forth in subsection 3.3.2 with respect to an effective registration statement or a valid exemption being available. Each Warrant not exercised on or before the Expiration
Date shall become null and void, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Expiration Date. The Company in its sole discretion may extend the duration of
the Warrants by delaying the Expiration Date; provided, however, that the Company shall provide at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of any such extension to Registered Holders of the Warrants, provided, further, that any such
extension shall be identical in duration among all of the Warrants. 

  
 3 













 3.3. Exercise of Warrants. 

3.3.1. Payment. Subject to the provisions of the Warrant and this Agreement, a Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder
thereof by delivering to the Warrant Agent at its corporate trust department (i) the Definitive Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrants to be exercised, or, in the case of a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, the Warrants to be exercised (the
“Book-Entry Warrants”) on the records of the Depository to an account of the Warrant Agent at the Depositary designated for such purposes in writing by the Warrant Agent to the Depository from time to time, (ii) an
election to purchase (“Election to Purchase”) shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant, properly completed and executed by the Registered Holder on the reverse of the Definitive Warrant Certificate or, in
the case of a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, properly delivered by the Participant in accordance with the Depository’s procedures, and (iii) payment in full of the Warrant Price for each full share of Common Stock as to which the Warrant
is exercised and any and all applicable taxes due in connection with the exercise of the Warrant, the exchange of the Warrant for the shares of Common Stock and the issuance of such shares of Common Stock, as follows: 

(a) in lawful money of the United States, in good certified check or good bank draft payable to the order of the Warrant Agent
or by wire transfer of immediately available funds; 
 (b) by surrendering the Warrants for that number of shares of Common
Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “Sponsor Fair Market Value” (as defined in this
subsection 3.3.1(b)) less the Warrant Price by (y) the Sponsor Fair Market Value. Solely for purposes of this subsection 3.3.1(b) the “Sponsor Fair Market Value” shall mean the
volume-weighted average last reported sale price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which notice of exercise of the Private Placement Warrant or Working Capital Warrant is sent
to the Warrant Agent; 
 The Warrant Agent shall forward funds received for warrant exercises in a given month by the (5th) business day of the following month by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company. 

3.3.2. Issuance of Shares of Common Stock on Exercise. As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant and the clearance of
the funds in payment of the Warrant Price (if payment is pursuant to subsection 3.3.1(a)), the Company shall issue to the Registered Holder of such Warrant a book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for the number
of full shares of Common Stock to which he, she or it is 

  
 4 













 
entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it, and if such Warrant shall not have been exercised in full, a new book-entry position or countersigned physical
definitive Warrant, as applicable, for the number of shares of Common Stock as to which such Warrant shall not have been exercised. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to
the exercise of a Warrant and shall have no obligation to settle such Warrant exercise unless either (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants is then
effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current or (b) a valid exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available. No Warrant shall be exercisable and the Company shall not be obligated to issue shares of
Common Stock upon exercise of a Warrant unless the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Warrant exercise have been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt from registration or qualification under the securities laws of the state of
residence of the Registered Holder of the Warrants. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Warrant exercise. If, by reason of any exercise of Warrants on a “cashless basis”, the holder of any Warrant would be
entitled, upon the exercise of such Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round down to the nearest whole number of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to such holder. 

3.3.3. Valid Issuance. All shares of Common Stock issued upon the proper exercise of a Warrant in conformity with this Agreement shall
be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. 
 3.3.4. Date of Issuance. Each person in
whose name any book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for shares of Common Stock is issued shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock on the date on which the Warrant, or
book-entry position representing such Warrant, was surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate in the case of a certificated Warrant, except that, if the date of such surrender and
payment is a date when the share transfer books of the Company or book-entry system of the Warrant Agent are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares of Common Stock at the close of business on the next succeeding
date on which the share transfer books or book-entry system are open. 
 3.3.5. Maximum Percentage. A holder of a Warrant may notify
the Company in writing in the event it elects to be subject to the provisions contained in this subsection 3.3.5; however, no holder of a Warrant shall be subject to this subsection 3.3.5 unless
he, she or it makes such election. If the election is made by a holder, the Warrant Agent shall not effect the exercise of the holder’s Warrant, and such holder shall not have the right to exercise such Warrant, to the extent that after giving
effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates) to the Warrant Agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) (the “Maximum
Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For 

  
 5 













 
purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such person and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon (x) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of the Warrant
beneficially owned by such person and its affiliates and (y) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such person and its affiliates (including, without
limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this
paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). For purposes of the Warrant, in
determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Commission as the case may be,
(2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written request of the
holder of the Warrant, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days, confirm orally and in writing to such holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be
determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of equity securities of the Company by the holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the
Company, the holder of a Warrant may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage applicable to such holder to any other percentage specified in such notice; provided, however, that any such increase shall not be effective
until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company. 
 4. Adjustments. 

4.1. Stock Dividends. 

4.1.1. Split-Ups. If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of
Section 4.6 below, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a split-up of shares of Common Stock or
other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be increased in proportion to
such increase in the outstanding shares of Common Stock. A rights offering to holders of the Common Stock entitling holders to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price less than the Fair Market Value shall be deemed a stock dividend of a number of
shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable
for the Common Stock) multiplied by (ii) one (1) minus 

  
 6 













 
the quotient of (x) the price per share of Common Stock paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the Fair Market Value. For purposes of this subsection 4.1.1,
(i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, in determining the price payable for Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any
additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) “Fair Market Value” means the volume-weighted average last reported sale price of the Common Stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period
ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of Common Stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights. 

4.1.2. Extraordinary Dividends. If the Company, at any time while the Warrants are outstanding and unexpired, shall pay a dividend or
make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of the Common Stock on account of such shares of Common Stock (or other shares of the Company’s capital stock into which the Warrants are convertible), other than
(a) as described in subsection 4.1.1, (b) Ordinary Cash Dividends (as defined below) (c) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of the Common Stock in connection with a proposed initial Business
Combination, (d) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of Common Stock in connection with a stockholder approval of an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation, or (e) in
connection with the redemption of shares of Common Stock included in the Units sold in the Offering upon the failure of the Company to complete its initial Business Combination and any subsequent distribution of its assets upon its liquidation (any
such non-excluded event being referred to herein as an “Extraordinary Dividend”) then the Warrant Price shall be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such
Extraordinary Dividend, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value (as determined by the Board, in good faith) of any securities or other assets paid on each shares of Common Stock in respect of such Extraordinary Dividend. For purposes of
this subsection 4.1.2, “Ordinary Cash Dividends” means any cash dividend or cash distribution which, when combined on a per share basis, with the per share amounts of all other cash dividends and
cash distributions paid on the shares of Common Stock during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution (as adjusted to appropriately reflect any of the events
referred to in other subsections of this Section 4 and excluding cash dividends or cash distributions that resulted in an adjustment to the Warrant Price or to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of
each Warrant) does not exceed $0.50 (being 5% of the offering price of the Units in the Offering). 
 4.2. Aggregation of Shares. If
after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 hereof, the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification
of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall
be decreased in proportion to such decrease in issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. 

  
 7 













 4.3. Adjustments in Warrant Price. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is adjusted, as provided in subsection 4.1.1 or Section 4.2 above, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such
Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter. 
 4.4. Replacement of Securities
upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change under subsections 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 or Section 4.2
hereof or that solely affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock) or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or conversion of the Company into another type of entity in which any
“person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) acquires more than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the Company’s securities, or, in the case of any sale or conveyance
to another entity of the assets or other property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the holders of the Warrants shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive,
upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Warrants and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and
amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the Warrants
would have received if such holder had exercised his, her or its Warrant(s) immediately prior to such event (the “Alternative Issuance” ); provided, however, that: (i) if the holders of the shares of Common
Stock were entitled to exercise a right of election as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other assets receivable upon such consolidation or merger, then the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets constituting the Alternative
Issuance for which each Warrant shall become exercisable shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the kind and amount received per share by the holders of the shares of Common Stock in such consolidation or merger that affirmatively make such
election; (ii) if a tender, exchange or redemption offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of the shares of Common Stock (other than a tender, exchange or redemption offer made by the Company in connection with redemption
rights held by stockholders of the Company as provided for in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation or as a result of the redemption of the shares of Common Stock by the Company if a proposed initial Business
Combination is presented to the stockholders of the Company for approval) under circumstances in which, upon completion of such tender or exchange offer, the maker thereof, together with members of any group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) of which such maker is a part, and together with any affiliate or associate of such maker (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the
Exchange Act) and any members of any such group of which any such affiliate or associate is a part, own beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) securities representing more than
50% of the aggregate voting power, including the power to vote on the election of 

  
 8 













 
directors of the Company, of the issued and outstanding equity securities of the Company, and (for the avoidance of doubt) such tender offer results in a change of control of the Company, the
holder of a Warrant shall be entitled to receive as the Alternative Issuance, the highest amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would actually have been entitled as a stockholder if such Warrant holder had exercised the
Warrant prior to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, accepted such offer and all of the shares of Common Stock held by such holder had been purchased pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, subject to adjustments (from and after the
consummation of such tender or exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4; and (iii) if less than seventy percent (70%) of the consideration receivable by the
holders of the shares of Common Stock in the applicable event is payable in the form of common stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established
over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the Registered Holder properly exercises the Warrant within
thirty (30) days following the public disclosure of the consummation of such applicable event by the Company pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission, the Warrant Price shall be
reduced by an amount (in dollars) equal to the difference, if positive, of (i) the Warrant Price in effect prior to such reduction minus (ii) (A) the Per Share Consideration (as defined below) minus (B) the Black-Scholes Warrant Value
(as defined below) (which amount determined under this clause (ii) shall not be less than zero). The “Black-Scholes Warrant Value” means the value of a Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of the applicable
event based on the Black-Scholes model as calculated by an accounting, appraisal, investment banking firm or consultant of nationally recognized standing that is, in the good faith judgment of the Board, qualified to make such calculation.
“Per Share Consideration” means (i) if the consideration paid to holders of the shares of Common Stock consists exclusively of cash, the amount of such cash per share of Common Stock, and (ii) in all other cases,
the volume weighted average price of the shares of Common Stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the effective date of the applicable event. If any reclassification or reorganization also
results in a change in shares of Common Stock covered by subsection 4.1.1, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to subsection 4.1.1 or Sections 4.2, 4.3 and this Section 4.4. The
provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers. In no event will the Warrant Price be reduced to less than the par
value per share issuable upon exercise of the Warrant. 
 4.5. Notices of Changes in Warrant. Upon every adjustment of the Warrant
Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Warrant Agent, which notice shall state the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or
decrease, if any, in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable at such price upon the exercise of a Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based; provided, however,
that no adjustment to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Warrant shall be required until cumulative adjustments amount to one percent (1%) or more of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a
Warrant as 

  
 9 













 
last adjusted; provided, further, that any such adjustments that are not made are carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all such
carried forward adjustments shall be made (i) in connection with any subsequent adjustment that (taken together with such carried forward adjustments) would result in a change of at least one percent (1%) in the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of a Warrant and (ii) on the exercise date of any Warrant. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4, in connection with which an adjustment
is made to the Warrant Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall give written notice of the occurrence of such event to each holder of a Warrant, at the last address set forth for such
holder in the Warrant Register, of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event. 

4.6. No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not issue
fractional shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants. If, by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4, the holder of any Warrant would be entitled, upon the exercise of such Warrant, to receive a
fractional interest in a share, the Company shall, upon such exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to such holder. 

4.7. Form of Warrant. The form of Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to this
Section 4, and Warrants issued after such adjustment may state the same Warrant Price and the same number of shares of Common Stock as is stated in the Warrants initially issued pursuant to this Agreement; provided,
however, that the Company may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of Warrant that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof, and any Warrant thereafter issued or countersigned,
whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed. 
 4.8. No Adjustment.
For the avoidance of doubt, no adjustment shall be made to the terms of the Warrants solely as a result of an adjustment to the conversion ratio of the Company’s Class B common stock (the
“Class B Common Stock”) into shares of Common Stock or the conversion of the shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Common Stock, in each case, pursuant to the Certificate of
Incorporation. 
 5. Transfer and Exchange of Warrants. 

5.1. Transferability. Subject to compliance with applicable law, the Warrants may be transferred, assigned or sold to any person. For
the avoidance of doubt, the Warrants shall not become Public Warrants as a result of any transfer of the Warrants, regardless of the transferee. 

  
 10 













 5.2. Registration of Transfer. The Warrant Agent shall register the transfer, from
time to time, of any outstanding Warrant upon the Warrant Register, upon surrender of such Warrant for transfer, in the case of a certificated Warrant, properly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed and accompanied by appropriate instructions
for transfer. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants shall be issued and the old Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. In the case of certificated Warrants, the Warrants so cancelled shall
be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company from time to time upon request. 
 5.3. Procedure for Surrender of Warrants. Warrants
may be surrendered to the Warrant Agent, together with a written request for exchange or transfer, and thereupon the Warrant Agent shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as requested by the Registered Holder of the Warrants so
surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants; provided, however, that except as otherwise provided herein or in any Book-Entry Warrant Certificate or Definitive Warrant Certificate, each Book-Entry Warrant
Certificate and Definitive Warrant Certificate may be transferred only in whole; provided further, however, that in the event that a Warrant surrendered for transfer bears a restrictive legend (as in the case of the Private
Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants) the Warrant Agent shall not cancel such Warrant and issue new Warrants in exchange thereof until the Warrant Agent has received an opinion of counsel for the Company stating that such transfer may
be made and indicating whether the new Warrants must also bear a restrictive legend. 
 5.4. Fractional Warrants. The Warrant Agent
shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange which shall result in the issuance of a warrant certificate or book-entry position for a fraction of a warrant. 

5.5. Service Charges. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrants. 

5.6. Warrant Execution and Countersignature. The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign and to deliver, in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, the Warrants required to be issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5, and the Company, whenever required by the Warrant Agent, shall supply the Warrant Agent with Warrants duly
executed on behalf of the Company for such purpose. 
 6. Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Warrants. 

6.1. No Rights as Stockholder. A Warrant does not entitle the Registered Holder thereof to any of the rights of a stockholder of the
Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to vote or to consent or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of stockholders or the election of
directors of the Company or any other matter.

 6.2. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Warrants. If any Warrant is lost, stolen,
mutilated, or destroyed, the Company and the Warrant Agent may on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as they may in their discretion impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof) issue a new Warrant of
like denomination, tenor, and date as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, and countersigned by the Warrant Agent. Any such new Warrant shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the
allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone. The Warrant Agent may, at its option, countersign replacement Warrants for mutilated certificates upon presentation thereof without such indemnity.

 6.3. Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock that shall be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement. 

6.4. Registration of the Common Stock. The Company agrees that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen
(15) Business Days after the closing of its initial Business Combination, it shall use its best efforts to file with the Commission a registration statement registering, under the Securities Act, the issuance of the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of
the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 
 7. Concerning the Warrant Agent and Other Matters. 

7.1. Payment of Taxes. The Company shall from time to time promptly pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company or
the Warrant Agent in respect of the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants, but the Company and the Warrant Agent shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in respect of the Warrants or such shares of
Common Stock. 
 7.2. Resignation, Consolidation, or Merger of Warrant Agent. 

7.2.1. Appointment of Successor Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may resign its duties and
be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder after giving sixty (60) days’ notice in writing to the Company. If the office of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company
shall appoint in writing a successor Warrant Agent in place of the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of thirty (30) days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by
the Warrant Agent or by the holder of a Warrant (who shall, with such notice, submit the holder’s Warrant for inspection by the Company) then the holder of any Warrant may apply to the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County
of New York for the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent at the Company’s cost. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such court, shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State
of New York, in good standing and having its principal office in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal
or state

authority. After appointment, any successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like
effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an
instrument transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the authority, powers, and rights of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and upon request of any successor Warrant Agent the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any
and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations. 

7.2.2. Notice of Successor Warrant Agent. In the event a successor Warrant Agent shall be appointed, the Company shall give notice
thereof to the predecessor Warrant Agent and the Transfer Agent for the Common Stock not later than the effective date of any such appointment. 

7.2.3. Merger or Consolidation of Warrant Agent. Any entity into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be
consolidated or any entity resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party shall be the successor Warrant Agent under this Agreement without any further act. 

7.3. Fees and Expenses of Warrant Agent. 

7.3.1. Remuneration. The Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent reasonable remuneration for its services as such Warrant Agent
hereunder and shall, pursuant to its obligations under this Agreement, reimburse the Warrant Agent upon demand for all expenditures that the Warrant Agent may reasonably incur in the execution of its duties hereunder. 

7.3.2. Further Assurances. The Company agrees to perform, execute, acknowledge, and deliver or cause to be performed, executed,
acknowledged, and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments, and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Warrant Agent for the carrying out or performing of the provisions of this Agreement. 

7.4. Liability of Warrant Agent. 

7.4.1. Reliance on Company Statement. Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall deem it
necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed
to be conclusively proved and established by a statement signed by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Executive Vice President, Vice President, Secretary or Chairman of the Board of the Company and delivered to the
Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may rely upon such statement for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. 

  
 13 













 7.4.2. Indemnity. The Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross
negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Company agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs and reasonable counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Warrant
Agent in the execution of this Agreement, except as a result of the Warrant Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. 

7.4.3. Exclusions. The Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the validity of this Agreement or with respect to the
validity or execution of any Warrant (except its countersignature thereof). The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any Warrant. The Warrant Agent shall
not be responsible to make any adjustments required under the provisions of Section 4 hereof or responsible for the manner, method, or amount of any such adjustment or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would
require any such adjustment; nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Warrant or as to
whether any shares of Common Stock shall, when issued, be valid and fully paid and non-assessable. 

7.5. Acceptance of Agency. The Warrant Agent hereby accepts the agency established by this Agreement and agrees to perform the same upon
the terms and conditions herein set forth and among other things, shall account promptly to the Company with respect to Warrants exercised and concurrently account for, and pay to the Company, all monies received by the Warrant Agent for the
purchase of shares of Common Stock through the exercise of the Warrants. 
 7.6. Waiver. The Warrant Agent has no right of set-off or any other right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”) in, or to any distribution of, the Trust Account (as defined in that certain Investment Management Trust Agreement,
dated as of the date hereof, by and between the Company and the Warrant Agent as trustee thereunder) and hereby agrees not to seek recourse, reimbursement, payment or satisfaction for any Claim against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever.
The Warrant Agent hereby waives any and all Claims against the Trust Account and any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account. 

8. Miscellaneous Provisions.

8.3. Applicable Law; Exclusive Forum. The validity, interpretation, and performance of this Agreement and of the Warrants shall be
governed in all respects by 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 Company hereby agrees that any action,
proceeding or claim against it arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement shall be brought and enforced in the courts of the 

  
 15 













 
State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be the exclusive
forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. The Company hereby waives any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this paragraph will not
apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum. 

Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in the Warrants shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to
the forum provisions in this Section 8.3. If any action, the subject matter of which is within the scope the forum provisions above, is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of New York or the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (a “ Foreign Action”) in the name of any warrant holder, such warrant holder shall be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of
the state and federal courts located within the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions (an
“Enforcement Action”) and (y) having service of process made upon such warrant holder in any Enforcement Action by service upon such warrant holder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such warrant holder.

 8.4. Persons Having Rights under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to confer upon, or give to, any
person or corporation other than the parties hereto and the Registered Holders of the Warrants and, for purposes of Sections 7.4, 9.4 and 9.8, the Representative, any right, remedy, or claim under or by reason
of this Agreement or of any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise, or agreement hereof. All covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises, and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties
hereto and, for purposes of Sections 7.4, 9.4 and 9.8, the Representative, and their successors and assigns and of the Registered Holders of the Warrants. 

8.5. Examination of the Warrant Agreement. A copy of this Agreement shall be available at all reasonable times at the office of the
Warrant Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, for inspection by the Registered Holder of any Warrant. The Warrant Agent may require any such holder to submit such holder’s Warrant for inspection by the Warrant
Agent. 
 8.6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of original or facsimile counterparts and each of such
counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 

8.7. Effect of Headings. The section headings herein are for convenience only and are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect
the interpretation thereof. 

  
 16 













 8.8. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto without the
consent of any Registered Holder for the purpose of (i) curing any ambiguity, or curing, correcting or supplementing any mistake, including to conform the provision of the Warrants and this Agreement to the description of the terms of the
Warrants and this Agreement set forth in the Prospectus, or any defective provision contained herein, (ii) adding or changing any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement as the parties may deem
necessary or desirable and that the parties deem shall not adversely affect the rights of the Registered Holders under the Warrants and this agreement and (iii) to provide for the delivery of Alternative Issuance pursuant to
Section 4.4, to reflect changes to the definition of “Ordinary Cash Dividend” or to reflect other adjustments required by Section 4. All other modifications or amendments, including any
modification or amendment to increase the Warrant Price or shorten the Exercise Period shall require the vote or written consent of the Registered Holders of fifty percent (50%) of the number of the then outstanding Warrants. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company may lower the Warrant Price or extend the duration of the Exercise Period pursuant to, and in accordance with, Sections 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, without the consent of the Registered Holders. The Company
covenants and agrees to not lower the Warrant Price or extend the duration of the Exercise Period of the Warrants without taking the same actions with respect to the Public Warrants. 

8.9. Severability. This Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or of any other term or provision hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part of
this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid and enforceable.

 Warrant Certificate

 This Warrant Certificate certifies that [___________], or registered assigns, is the registered holder of [___________]
warrant(s) (the “Warrants” and each, a “Warrant”) to purchase shares of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value (“Common Stock”) of
M3-Brigade Acquisition III Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Each Warrant entitles the holder, upon exercise during the period set forth in the Warrant Agreement
referred to below, to receive from the Company that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as set forth below, at the exercise price (the “Warrant Price”) as
determined pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, payable in lawful money of the United States of America upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate and payment of the Warrant Price (or through “cashless exercise” as provided for in the
Warrant Agreement) at the office or agency of the Warrant Agent referred to below, subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant Agreement. Defined terms used in this Warrant Certificate but not defined herein shall have the meanings
given to them in the Warrant Agreement. 
 Each whole Warrant is initially exercisable for one fully paid and
non-assessable share of Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of any Warrant. If, upon the exercise of Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share
of Common Stock, the Company shall, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Warrant holder. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is
subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events as set forth in the Warrant Agreement. 












 The initial Warrant Price per share of Common Stock for any Warrant is equal to $11.50 per
share. The Exercise Price is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events as set forth in the Warrant Agreement. 
 Subject
to the conditions set forth in the Warrant Agreement, the Warrants may be exercised only during the Exercise Period and to the extent not exercised by the end of such Exercise Period, such Warrants shall become null and void. The Warrants may be
redeemed, subject to certain conditions, as set forth in the Warrant Agreement. 
 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of
this Warrant Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof and such further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place. 

This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid unless countersigned by the Warrant Agent, as such term is used in the Warrant Agreement. This
Warrant Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

 [Reverse of Warrant Certificate] 

The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly authorized issue of Warrants entitling the holder on exercise to receive
[shares of Common Stock and are issued or to be issued pursuant to the Private Warrant Agreement dated as of , [ ], 2021 ( as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Warrant Agreement”) duly
executed and delivered by the Company to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York limited purpose trust company, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”) which Warrant Agreement is hereby
incorporated by reference in and made a part of this instrument and is hereby referred to for a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Warrant Agent, the Company and the holders (the
words “holders” or “holder” meaning the Registered Holders or Registered Holder, respectively) of the Warrants. A copy of the Warrant Agreement may be obtained by the holder hereof upon written request
to the Company. Defined terms used in this Warrant Certificate but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Warrant Agreement. 

Warrants may be exercised at any time during the Exercise Period set forth in the Warrant Agreement. The holder of Warrants evidenced by this
Warrant Certificate may exercise them by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the form of Election to Purchase set forth hereon properly completed and executed, together with payment of the Warrant Price as specified in the Warrant Agreement
(or through “cashless exercise” as provided for in the Warrant Agreement) at the designated office of the Warrant Agent. In the event that upon any exercise of Warrants evidenced hereby the number of Warrants exercised shall be less
than the total number of Warrants evidenced hereby, there shall be issued to the holder hereof or his, her or its assignee, a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Warrants not exercised. 

Notwithstanding anything else in this Warrant Certificate or the Warrant Agreement, no Warrant may be exercised unless at the time of exercise
(i) a registration statement covering the issuance of the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise is effective under the Securities Act and (ii) a prospectus thereunder relating to the shares of Common Stock is current, except
through “cashless exercise” as provided for in the Warrant Agreement or if a valid exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available. 

The Warrant Agreement provides that, upon the occurrence of certain events the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants and the Warrant Price set forth on the face hereof may, subject to certain conditions, be adjusted. If, upon exercise of a Warrant, the holder thereof would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share of Common Stock, the
Company shall, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the holder of the Warrant. 

Warrant Certificates, when surrendered at the designated office of the Warrant Agent by the Registered Holder thereof in person or by legal
representative or attorney duly authorized in writing, may be exchanged, in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, but without payment of any service charge, for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant
Certificates of like tenor evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants. 












 Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of this Warrant Certificate at the office
of the Warrant Agent a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants shall be issued to the transferee(s) in exchange for this Warrant Certificate, subject to the limitations
provided in the Warrant Agreement, without charge except for any tax or other third party charge imposed in connection therewith. 
 The
Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Registered Holder(s) hereof as the absolute owner(s) of this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other -writing hereon made by anyone) for the purpose of any exercise
hereof, of any distribution to the holder(s) hereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the Warrants nor this Warrant Certificate entitles any holder
hereof to any rights of a stockholder of the Company.
