Account as shall be designated by the Company in writing to make such distribution (it being acknowledged and agreed that any such amount
in excess of interest income earned on the Property shall not be payable from the Trust Account). The written request of the Company

to look beyond said request.

Give all instructions to the Trustee hereunder in writing, signed by the Company’s Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer,

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 Sections 5 and 7(g) 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 loss suffered by the Trustee in connection with any claim,
potential claim, action, suit or other proceeding brought against the Trustee involving any claim, or in connection with any claim or
demand which in any way arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services of the Trustee hereunder, or the Property or any income
earned from investment of the Property, except for expenses and losses resulting from the Trustee’s 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”); provided, however, that the Trustee’s failure to provide such
notice shall not relieve the Company of its liability hereunder, except to the extent that it is materially prejudiced by such failure.
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
or delayed. The Company may participate in such action with its own counsel;

expressly understood that the Property shall not be used to pay such fees and further agreed that any fees owed to the Trustee shall
be deducted by the Trustee from the disbursements made to the Company pursuant to Sections 1(i) solely in connection with the consummation
of a Business Combination, or pursuant to Section 2(b). The Company shall pay the Trustee the initial acceptance fee and first year’s
fee at the consummation of the IPO and thereafter on the anniversary of the Effective Date;


 


(d)
In connection with any vote of the Company’s shareholders regarding a Business Combination, provide to the Trustee an affidavit

	 	Re:	Trust
    Account - Termination Letter


 


Dear
Mr. Wolf and Ms. Gonzalez:


 


Pursuant
to paragraph 1(i) of the Investment Management Trust Agreement between Kairous Acquisition Corp. Limited (“Company”) and
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Trustee”), dated as of [*], 2021 (“Trust Agreement”), this is
to advise you that the Company has entered into an agreement with [__________________] (“Target Business”) to consummate
a business combination with Target Business (“Business Combination”) on or about [insert date]. The Company shall
notify you at least seventy-two (72) hours in advance of the actual date of the consummation of the Business Combination (“Consummation
Date”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Trust Agreement.


 


In
accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, we hereby authorize you to liquidate the Trust Account investments and to transfer
the proceeds to the above-referenced account at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to the effect that, on the Consummation Date, all of funds
held in the Trust Account will be immediately available for transfer to the account or accounts that the Company shall direct on the
Consummation Date. It is acknowledged and agreed that while the funds are on deposit in the trust account awaiting distribution, the
Company will not earn any interest or dividends.


 


On
the Consummation Date (i) counsel for the Company shall deliver to you written notification that the Business Combination has been consummated,
and (ii) the Company shall deliver to you a certificate of the Chief Executive Officer which verifies the vote of the Company’s
shareholders in connection with the Business Combination if a vote is held and (b) joint written instructions from the Company and Maxim
Group LLC with respect to the transfer of the funds held in the Trust Account, which must provide for the disbursement of no less than
$10.10 per share plus the amount per share deposited in the Trust Account per Extension Letter to redeeming Public Shareholders (“Instruction
Letter”). You are hereby directed and authorized to transfer the funds held in the Trust Account immediately upon your receipt
of the counsel’s letter and the Instruction Letter, in accordance with the terms of the Instruction Letter. In the event that certain
deposits held in the Trust Account may not be liquidated by the Consummation Date without penalty, you will notify the Company of the
same and the Company shall direct you as to whether such funds should remain in the Trust Account and distributed after the Consummation
Date to the Company. Upon the distribution of all the funds in the Trust Account pursuant to the terms hereof, the Trust Agreement shall
be terminated.


 


In
the event that the Business Combination is not consummated on the Consummation Date described in the notice thereof and we have not notified
you on or before the original Consummation Date of a new Consummation Date, then upon receipt by the Trustee of written instructions
from the Company, the funds held in the Trust Account shall be reinvested as provided in the Trust Agreement on the business day immediately
following the Consummation Date as set forth in the notice.


 


	 	Very
    truly yours,
