PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT


 


THIS PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT,
dated as of [_______], 2021 (as it may from time to time be amended, this “Agreement”), is entered into by and between
Macondray Capital Acquisition Corp. I, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), and Macondray, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (the “Purchaser”).


 


WHEREAS:


 


The Company intends to consummate an initial public
offering of the Company’s units (the “Public Offering”), each unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share
of the Company, of par value $0.0001 per share (each, a “Share”), and three-quarters of one redeemable warrant;


 


Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase
one Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Share; and the Purchaser has agreed to purchase, at a price of $1.50 per warrant, an aggregate
of 4,666,667 warrants (or up to 5,191,667 warrants if the over-allotment option in connection with the Public Offering is exercised in
full) (the “Private Placement Warrants”), each Private Placement Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Share
at an exercise price of $11.50 per Share.


 


NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual
promises contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the parties to this Agreement hereby, intending legally to be bound, agree as follows:

Over-allotment Purchase Price, as directed by the Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Trust Account
maintained by Continental or to the Company at least one (1) business day prior to the Over-allotment Closing Date. On the
Over-allotment Closing Date, upon the payment by the Purchaser of the Over-allotment Purchase Price to the Company, the Company
shall, at its option, deliver a certificate evidencing the Private Placement Warrants purchased on such date duly registered in the
Purchaser’s name to the Purchaser or effect such delivery in book-entry form.

in connection with the Public Offering (the “Warrant Agreement”).

Private Placement Warrants shall be terminated upon the dissolution of the Company or in the event that the Company does not consummate
an initial business combination within the time period set forth in the Company’s memorandum and articles of association, as the
same may be amended from time to time.




 


Section 2.          Representations
and Warranties of the Company. As a material inducement to the Purchaser to enter into this
Agreement and purchase the Private Placement Warrants, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser (which representations
and warranties shall survive each Closing Date) that:


 


A.            Incorporation
and Corporate Power. The Company is an exempted company duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the Cayman Islands and is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected
to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, operating results or assets of the Company. The Company possesses all requisite

and Warranties of the Purchaser. As a material inducement to the Company to enter into this

by this Agreement.


 


B.            Authorization;

Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’
rights and to general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or law).


 


(ii)           The
execution and delivery by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the fulfillment of and compliance with the terms hereof by the Purchaser
does not and shall not as of each Closing Date conflict with or result in a breach by the Purchaser of the terms, conditions or provisions
of any agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which the Purchaser is subject.


 


C.            Investment
Representations.


 


(i)            The
Purchaser is acquiring the Private Placement Warrants and, upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, the Shares issuable upon
such exercise (collectively, the “Securities”), for the Purchaser’s own account, for investment purposes only
and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, any public sale or distribution thereof.


 


(ii)           The
Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D under the Securities
Act and the Purchaser has not experienced a disqualifying event as enumerated pursuant to Rule 506(d) of Regulation D under
the Securities Act.


 


(iii)          The
Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and will be sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration
requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and
the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the
availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire such Securities.


 






    4


     


    

 


(iv)          The
Purchaser decided to enter into this Agreement not as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning
of Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act.


 


(v)           The
Purchaser has been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating
to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by the Purchaser. The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to
ask questions of the executive officers and directors of the Company. The Purchaser understands that its investment in the Securities
involves a high degree of risk and it has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed
investment decision with respect to the acquisition of the Securities.


 


(vi)          The
Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made
any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities by the Purchaser
nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.


 


(vii)         The
Purchaser understands that: (a) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (1) subsequently registered thereunder or
(2) sold in reliance on an exemption therefrom; and (b) except as specifically set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement,
neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities
laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. The Private Placement Warrants will bear a legend and appropriate
 “stop transfer” instructions (or an appropriate notation if the warrants are issued in book entry form) relating to the foregoing.
The Purchaser further understands that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has taken the position that
promoters or affiliates of a blank check company and their transferees, both before and after an initial business combination, are deemed
to be “underwriters” under the Securities Act when reselling the securities of a blank check company. Based on that position,
Rule 144 adopted pursuant to the Securities Act would not be available for resale transactions of the Securities until the one-year
anniversary following consummation of an initial business combination despite technical compliance with the requirements of such Rule.


 


(viii)        The
Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, knows of the high degree of risk associated with investments
in the securities of companies in the development stage such as the Company, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment
in the Securities and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities in the amount contemplated hereunder for an
indefinite period of time. The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current financial needs and contingencies and will have
no current or anticipated future needs for liquidity which would be jeopardized by the investment in the Securities. The Purchaser can
afford a complete loss of its investment in the Securities.
