WHEREAS, the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1, File
No. 333-249138 (“Registration Statement”) for its initial public offering of securities (“IPO”) has been declared effective as of the date hereof (“Effective
Date”) by the Securities and Exchange Commission (capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Registration Statement); and 

WHEREAS, the Company has entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Citigroup Global Markets

WHEREAS, as described in the Registration Statement, and in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, $300,000,000 (or $345,000,000 if the Underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) will be delivered to the Trustee to be deposited and held in a segregated trust account located at all times in the United States (the
“Trust Account”) for the benefit of the Company and the holders of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), issued in the IPO as hereinafter provided (the proceeds
to be delivered to the Trustee (and any income 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”); and 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, a portion of the Property equal to $10,500,000, or $12,075,000 if the Underwriters’
over-allotment option is exercised in full, is attributable to deferred underwriting discounts and commissions that may be payable by the Company to the Underwriters upon the consummation of the Business Combination (as defined below) (the
“Deferred Discount”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Company and the Trustee desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth the
terms and conditions pursuant to which the Trustee shall hold the Property; 
 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 initially at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (or at another U.S. chartered commercial bank with consolidated assets of $100 billion or more), maintained by Trustee, and at a brokerage institution selected by the
Company that is reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; 
 (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 in a form substantially similar to that
attached hereto as Exhibit A, either (a) invest and reinvest the Property in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
“Investment Company Act”), having a maturity of 185 days or less, and/or in any open ended investment company registered under the Investment Company Act that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting
the conditions of paragraph (d) of Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations or (b) cause the brokerage institution
referred to in 1(a) above to place the Property in a cash demand deposit account; it being understood that unless the Company instructs the Trustee to do either of the foregoing, 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 and income arising from the Property, which
shall become part of the “Property,” as such term is used herein; 
 (e) Promptly notify the Company and the Representative of all
communications received by the Trustee with respect to any Property requiring action by the Company; 
 (f) Supply any necessary information
or documents as may be requested by the Company in connection with the Company’s preparation of its tax returns; 
 (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 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 B or Exhibit C, as applicable, signed on behalf
of the Company by an authorized officer and complete the liquidation of the Trust Account and distribute the Property in the Trust Account only as directed in the Termination Letter and the other documents referred to therein; provided, however,
that in the event that a Termination Letter has not been received by the Trustee within the period of time (the “Last Date”) provided in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as the same may be
amended from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), the Trust Account shall be liquidated in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Termination Letter attached as Exhibit C hereto and
distributed to the Public Stockholders as of the Last Date (excluding up to $100,000 of interest which may be used for dissolution expenses); and 

(j) Upon receipt of a letter (an “Amendment Notification Letter”) in the form of Exhibit D, signed on behalf of
the Company by an authorized officer, distribute to Public Stockholders who properly exercised their redemption rights in connection with an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (an
“Amendment”) (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with its initial Business Combination or an Amendment or to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company does
not complete an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO or (ii) with respect to any other provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business
combination activity, an amount equal to the pro rata share of the Property relating to the Common Stock for which such Public Stockholders have properly exercised redemption rights in connection with such Amendment. 

2. Limited Distributions of Income from Trust Account. 

(a) Upon written request from the Company, which may be given from time to time in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto

accordance with Sections 1(i) or 1(j) hereof. 
 3. Agreements and Covenants of the Company. The Company
agrees and covenants to: 
 (a) Give all instructions to the Trustee hereunder in writing, signed by any one of the Company’s authorized
officers. In addition, except with respect to its duties under Sections 1(i), 1(j) and 2(a) above, 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 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 the provisions of Section 5 of this Agreement, 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 claim, potential claim, action, suit, or other proceeding

Trustee’s fraud, gross negligence 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 paragraph, 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 consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company may participate in such action with its own counsel; 

(c) Pay the Trustee an initial acceptance fee, an annual fee, and a transaction processing fee for each disbursement made pursuant
to Section 2(a) as set forth on Schedule A hereto, 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 and
further agreed that any fees remaining owed to the Trustee at the consummation of a business combination (a “Business Combination”) shall be deducted by the Trustee pursuant to Section 1(i) solely in connection with
the consummation of the Business Combination. The Company shall pay the Trustee the initial acceptance fee and first year’s fee at the consummation of the IPO and the next annual fee on the anniversary of the Effective Date; 

(d) In connection with any vote of the Company’s stockholders regarding a Business Combination, provide to the Trustee an affidavit or
certificate of a firm regularly engaged in the business of soliciting proxies and/or tabulating stockholder votes verifying the vote of the Company’s stockholders regarding such Business Combination; 

(e) The Company agrees that it will not direct the Trustee to make any payments that are not specifically authorized by this Agreement;

(g) Provide the Representative with a copy of any Termination Letter, Amendment Notification Letter, and/or any other correspondence that it
issues to the Trustee with respect to any proposed withdrawal from the Trust Account promptly after such issuance; and

provide in any Instruction Letter (as defined in Exhibit B) delivered in connection with a Termination Letter in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit B that the Deferred Discount be paid
directly to the account or accounts directed by the Representative on behalf of the Underwriters; 
 4. 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 Sections
1 and 2 hereof, and the Trustee shall have no liability to any party except for liability arising out of its own fraud, gross negligence 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(c); 












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

(e) Assume that the authority of any person designated by the Company to give instructions hereunder shall not be continuing unless provided

 (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 exercise of its own best judgment, except for its fraud, gross negligence 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), 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, 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 local, state, and/or
federal tax returns or information returns with any taxing authority on behalf of the Trust Account or deliver payee statements to the Company documenting the taxes, if any, payable by the Company or the Trust Account, relating to the income earned
on the Property; 
 (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

 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 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 fraud, gross negligence 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. 
 (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), 1(j) and (2) (which sections may not be modified, amended or deleted without the affirmative vote of sixty five percent (65%) of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock and shares of the
Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, voting together as a single class; provided that no such amendment will affect any Public Stockholder who has otherwise properly indicated his, her or its election to redeem his,
her or its shares of Common Stock in connection with a vote sought to amend this Agreement), 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; 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 be sent by express mail or similar private courier service, by certified mail (return receipt requested), by hand delivery, by email or by facsimile transmission:
