  THIS CERTIFIES THAT [●] is the owner of [●] Units.

  Each Unit (“Unit”) consists of one (1) share of Class A common stock, $0.001
      par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Riverview Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), and one-half of one warrant (each, a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder
      to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock for $11.50 per share (subject to adjustment). Each Warrant will become exercisable on the later of: (i) thirty (30) days after the Corporation’s consummation of a merger, capital stock exchange, asset
      acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Corporation and one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”), or (ii) twelve (12) months from the completion of the Corporation’s initial
      public offering (excluding any overallotment exercise), and will expire unless exercised before 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on the date that is five (5) years after the date on which the Corporation consummates its initial Business Combination, or
      earlier upon redemption of all outstanding shares of Common Stock included in the Units sold in the initial public offering by the Corporation of the Units (the “IPO”) or liquidation of the Corporation (the “Expiration Date”).

      The Warrant included in this Unit will not become exercisable and will expire worthless in the event the Corporation fails to consummate a Business Combination within 18 months of the date of the completion of the Corporation’s IPO (excluding any
      overallotment exercise).

   

  The shares of Common Stock and Warrants comprising the Units represented by this certificate
      are not transferable separately prior to the 52nd day following the date of the final prospectus relating to the IPO unless Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., acting as underwriter, elects to allow separate trading earlier, subject to the Corporation’s
      filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission containing an audited balance sheet reflecting the Corporation’s receipt of the gross proceeds of the offering and issuing a press release announcing when separate
      trading will begin. The terms of the Warrants are governed by a Warrant Agreement, dated as of July [●], 2021, between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Warrant Agent, and are subject to the terms and provisions contained therein,
      all of which terms and provisions the holder of this certificate consents to by acceptance hereof. Copies of the Warrant Agreement are on file at the office of the Warrant Agent at 1 State Street, 30th Floor, New York, New York 10004, and are
      available to any Warrant holder on written request and without cost.

   

  This certificate is not valid unless countersigned by the Transfer Agent and Registrar of the Corporation.
