 Void After ____________, 2025 

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, [INVESTOR], with its principal
office at __________________________, or assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to subscribe for and purchase at the Exercise Price (defined below) from QUANERGY SYSTEMS, INC.,
a Delaware corporation, with its principal office at 433 Lakeside Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94085 (the “Company”) up to the Exercise Shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”)
(as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like). 
 This warrant (the “Warrant”) is
being issued pursuant to that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated February __, 2020 by and among the Company and the Investors (as defined therein) (the “Purchase Agreement”). Terms used herein and capitalized
but not defined shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement. 
 1. DEFINITIONS. As used
herein, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings: 
 (a) “Exercise Period” shall mean
the period commencing with the 90th day following the Initial Closing (the “Warrant Vest Date”) and ending five (5) years later, unless sooner terminated as provided
below. 
 (b) “Exercise Price” shall mean US$0.01 per Exercise Share, subject to adjustment pursuant to
Section 6 below. 
 (c) “Exercise Shares” shall mean
[____]1 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms herein, including but not limited to adjustment pursuant to Section 6 below. 

 

	1 	 To equal the Purchase Price of the applicable note multiplied by the Warrant Ratio, rounded down to the nearest
whole share, per Section 1(b) of the Purchase Agreement. 



  
 1. 













 2. EXERCISE OF WARRANT. The
rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part with respect to the Exercise Shares at any time during the Exercise Period, by delivery of the following to the Company at its address set forth above (or at such other address
as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder): 
 (a) An executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto; 

(b) Payment of the Exercise Price in cash, by check or by a wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts
designated by the Company; and 
 (c) This Warrant. 

Upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the Exercise Shares so purchased, registered in
the name of the Holder or persons affiliated with the Holder, if the Holder so designates, shall be issued and delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised, but in any
event no more than thirty (30) days after such exercise. 
 The person in whose name any certificate or certificates for Exercise
Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date of
delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close
of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exercise of this
Warrant pursuant to this Section 2 shall be subject to any filings required under, and compliance with any other applicable requirements of, the Hart Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR
Act”). Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, the Company and the Holder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all clearances, consents, authorizations, approvals, actions, or
non-actions required under the HSR Act for the exercise of this Warrant. 
 3.
NET EXERCISE. Upon the earlier of (i) the closing of a Liquidation Event (including an Asset Transfer and Acquisition) (each as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, as may be amended and/or restated from time to time (the “Restated Certificate”)) and (ii) the effective date of a registration statement filed under the Act for Qualified IPO (as defined in the Restated
Certificate), if the fair market value of one share of the Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares
equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in which event the Company
shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula: 
 X = Y (A-B) 
             A 

Where    X =      the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder 

  
 2. 














	 	Y =	 the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is
being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being cancelled (at the date of such calculation) 


  

	 	A =	 the fair market value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)



  

	 	B =	 Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation) 



For purposes of the above calculation, in the event that this Warrant is exercised in connection with a Liquidation Event, the fair market
value per share shall be the value of the consideration payable for each share of Common Stock in such Liquidation Event, and in the event that this Warrant is exercised pursuant to a Qualified IPO, the fair market value per share shall be the per
share offering price to the public of the Company’s initial public offering. 
 4. COVENANTS OF
THE COMPANY. 
 4.1 Covenants as to Exercise Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that
all Exercise Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will
at all times during the Exercise Period, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. If at any time during the
Exercise Period the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes. 
 4.2 Notices
of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend which is the
same as cash dividends paid in previous quarters) or other distribution, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified herein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for
the purpose of such dividend or distribution. 
 5. REPRESENTATIONS OF HOLDER. 

5.1 Acquisition of Warrant for Personal Account. The Holder represents and warrants that it is acquiring the Warrant and the
Exercise Shares solely for its account for investment and not with a view to or for sale or distribution of said Warrant or Exercise Shares or any part thereof. The Holder also represents that the entire legal and beneficial interests of the Warrant
and Exercise Shares the Holder is acquiring is being acquired for, and will be held for, its account only. 
 5.2 Securities Are Not
Registered. 
 (a) The Holder understands that the Warrant and the Exercise Shares have not been registered under the Act
pursuant to an exemption on the basis that no distribution or public offering of the stock of the Company is to be effected. The Holder realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding its representations, the Holder
has a present intention of acquiring the securities for distribution. The Holder has no such present intention. 

  
 3. 













 (b) The Holder recognizes that the Warrant and the Exercise Shares must be held
indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder recognizes that the Company has no obligation to register the Warrant or the Exercise Shares of the Company, or to
comply with any exemption from such registration. 
 (c) The Holder is aware that neither the Warrant nor the Exercise Shares may be
sold pursuant to Rule 144 adopted under the Act unless certain conditions are met, including, among other things, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale
following the required holding period under Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold during any three month period not exceeding specified limitations. Holder is aware that the conditions for resale set forth in Rule 144 have not been satisfied
and that the Company presently has no plans to satisfy these conditions in the foreseeable future. 
 5.3 Disposition of Warrant and
Exercise Shares. 
 (a) The Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any part of the Warrant or Exercise
Shares unless and until: 
 (i) The Company shall have received a letter secured by the Holder from the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) stating that no action will be recommended to the Commission with respect to the proposed disposition; 

(ii) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in
accordance with said registration statement; or 
 (iii) The Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and
shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Company, the Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, for the Holder to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of such Warrant or Exercise Shares under the Act or any applicable state securities laws. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5.3(a)(ii) and 5.3(a)(iii) hereof, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be
required (a) for any transfer of the Warrant or Exercise Shares in compliance with SEC rule 144 or Rule 144A; or (b) for any transfer of the Warrant or any Exercise Shares by a Holder that is a partnership or a corporation without payment
of consideration to a Permitted Transferee. 
 (b) The Holder understands and agrees that all certificates evidencing the shares to
be issued to the Holder may bear the following legend: 
 THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, MORTGAGED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATION S, PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN


  
 4. 













 
COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. IN ADDITION, NO HEDGING TRANSACTION MAY BE CONDUCTED WITH RESPECT TO THESE SECURITIES UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS IN COMPLIANCE
WITH THE ACT. INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME. 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON PUBLIC RESALE AND TRANSFER AS SET FORTH IN A NOTE AND
WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER. SUCH PUBLIC SALE AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE
SECURITIES. 
 5.4 Taxes. The Holder has reviewed with its own tax advisors the U.S. federal, state and local
and non-U.S. tax consequences of the issuance of this Warrant and the transactions contemplated by this Warrant. With respect to such matters, the Holder relies solely on any such advisors and not on any
statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents, written or oral. The Holder understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for all taxes that may arise as a result of the issuance of this Warrant and the
transactions contemplated by this Warrant. The Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to the Holder pursuant to this Warrant such amounts as the Company may be required to deduct or
withhold therefrom under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax law, and shall promptly pay such withheld amounts to the appropriate tax authorities on behalf of the Holder.
To the extent any amount is so deducted or withheld, such amount shall be treated for all purposes under this Warrant as having been paid to the Holder. Holder further agrees to deliver a validly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, W-8 or similar form, as applicable, as reasonably requested by the Company to exercise its rights as set forth in this Section 5.4. 

6. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. In the event of changes in the
outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason of stock dividends, split-ups, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or the
like, the number and class of shares available under the Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of the Warrant, on exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class,
and kind of shares as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment; provided, however, that such adjustment
shall not be made with respect to, and this Warrant shall terminate if not exercised prior to, the events set forth in Section 8 below. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of Exercise Shares
subject to this Warrant. 
 7. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the
issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in
cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then current fair market value of an Exercise Share by such fraction. 
 8.
TERMINATION. Upon the earliest of (i) the closing of a Liquidation Event and (ii) the effective date of a registration statement filed under the Act for Qualified IPO, this Warrant shall terminate immediately;
provided, however that such termination shall be subject to the net-exercise provisions of Section 3 hereof. 

  
 5. 













 9. MARKET
STAND-OFF AGREEMENT. The Holder hereby agrees that the Holder shall not sell, dispose of, transfer, make any short sale of, grant
any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, any shares of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Holder (other than those included in the
registration) during the 180-day period following the effective date of the initial public offering (as the underwriters or the Company shall request in order to facilitate compliance with FINRA Rule 2241 or
any successor or similar rule or regulation). The foregoing provisions of this Section 9 shall apply only to the initial public offering, shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, and
shall only be applicable to the Holder if all officers, directors and greater than one percent (1%) stockholders of the Company enter into similar agreements. The underwriters in connection with the initial public offering are intended third party
beneficiaries of this Section 9 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. The Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the
underwriters in the initial public offering that are consistent with this Section 9 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. Any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of any or all of such agreements by the
Company or the underwriters shall apply to the Holder subject to such agreements pro rata based on the number of shares subject to such agreements. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with
respect to such Common Stock (or other securities) until the end of such period. Holder agrees that any transferee of the Warrant of the Company held by Holder shall be bound by this Section 9. 

10. NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. This Warrant in and of itself shall not entitle the
Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. 
 11. TRANSFER OF
WARRANT. Other than any transfers to affiliates for no consideration or at cost, subject to approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, applicable laws, the restriction on transfer set forth on the first page of this
Warrant, and any restrictions applicable to the transfer of shares set forth in the Company’s bylaws, as they may be amended from time to time, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, by the Holder in person or by duly
authorized attorney, upon delivery of this Warrant and the form of assignment attached hereto to any transferee designated by Holder. The transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and substance satisfactory to the Company. 

12. LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED
WARRANT. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender
thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen,
mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone. 
 13. NOTICES, ETC.
All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed email, telex or facsimile if sent during normal
business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day, (c) twenty (20) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) five (5) days after deposit
with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the Company at the address listed on the signature page and to Holder at the address provided on
the first page of this Warrant or at such other address as the Company or Holder may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice to the other parties hereto. 

  
 6. 













 14. ACCEPTANCE. Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall
constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein. 
 15. GOVERNING
LAW. This Warrant and all rights, obligations and liabilities hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.
