PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT


 


THIS PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT,
dated as of November 30, 2021 (as it may from time to time be amended, this “Agreement”), is entered into by and between
Capitalworks Emerging Markets Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), and CEMAC Sponsor
LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (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, par value $0.0001 per share (each, an “Ordinary Share”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant;


 


Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase
one Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Ordinary Share; and


 


The Purchaser has agreed to purchase an aggregate
of 10,500,000 warrants (or up to 11,700,000 warrants depending on the extent to which the underwriters in the Public Offering exercise
their over-allotment option) (the “Sponsor Warrants”), each whole Sponsor Warrant entitling the holder to purchase
one Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Ordinary 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:

the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, 10,500,000 Sponsor Warrants at a
price of $1.00 per warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $10,500,000 (the “Purchase Price”), which shall be paid
to a segregated trust account located at all times in the United States (the “Trust Account”) by wire transfer of immediately
available funds at least one (1) day prior to the IPO Closing Date in accordance with the Company’s wiring instructions. On the
IPO Closing Date, following the payment by the Purchaser of the Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the

Closing Date (if any) and the IPO Closing Date, a “Closing Date”), the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser,
and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, up to 1,200,000 Sponsor Warrants (or, to the extent the over-allotment option is not
exercised in full, a lesser number of Sponsor Warrants in proportion to the portion of the over-allotment option that is exercised) at
a price of $1.00 per warrant for an aggregate purchase price of up to $1,200,000 (the “Over-allotment Purchase Price”).
The Purchaser shall pay the Over-allotment Purchase Price to the Trust Account by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance

Closing Date, following the payment by the Purchaser of the Over-allotment Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds

Agreement”).


 






     


     


    

 


(ii) At the time of, or prior to, the closing of

(whether considered in a proceeding in equity or law).


 


(ii) The execution and delivery by the Purchaser

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 Sponsor Warrants
and, upon exercise of the Sponsor Warrants, the Ordinary 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 of 1933, as amended (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.


 


(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) of Regulation D 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) in a registered transaction 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. In this
regard, the Purchaser 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 a 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 the Business Combination despite technical compliance with the requirements of such Rule, and the Securities
can be resold only through a registered offering or in reliance upon another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act.


 


(viii) The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience
in financial and business matters, knowledge 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 investments
in the Securities.


 


(ix) The Purchaser understands that the Sponsor Warrants
shall bear the legend substantially in the form set forth in the Warrant Agreement.


 


Section 4. Conditions of the Purchaser’s

each Closing Date, of each of the following conditions:


 


A. Representations and Warranties.

of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement.

the internal laws of the State of New York.


 


F. Amendments. This Agreement
may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto.
