Manage, supervise and administer the Trust Account subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;

distributed to the Public Shareholders;

(j)                
Upon written request from the Company, which may be given from time to time in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto
as Exhibit C (a “Tax Payment Withdrawal Instruction”), withdraw from the Trust Account and distribute
to the Company the amount of interest earned on the Property requested by the Company to cover any tax obligation owed by the Company
as a result of assets of the Company or interest or other income earned on the Property, which amount shall be delivered directly to the
Company by electronic funds transfer or other method of prompt payment, and the Company shall forward such payment to the relevant taxing
authority, as applicable; provided, however, that to the extent there is not sufficient cash in the Trust Account to pay
such tax obligation, the Trustee shall liquidate such assets held in the Trust Account as shall be designated by the Company in writing
to make such distribution so long as there is no reduction in the principal amount per share initially deposited in the Trust Account
(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 referenced above shall constitute presumptive evidence that the Company is entitled
to said funds, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to look beyond said request;


 


(k)              
Upon written request from the Company, which may be given from time to time in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto

Company the amount requested by the Company to be used to redeem Ordinary Shares from Public Shareholders properly submitted in connection
with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to
modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its public Ordinary Shares if the Company has not consummated
an initial Business Combination within such time as is described in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of
association. The written request of the Company referenced above shall constitute presumptive evidence that the Company is entitled to
distribute said funds, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to look beyond said request;


 


(l)                Only release the Property in accordance with a written instruction, signed by an Authorized Representative of the Company substantially
in the form attached as Exhibit A, B, C or D, as applicable, attached hereto (each, a “Written

(m)             
 Not make any withdrawals or distributions from the Trust Account other than pursuant to Section 1(i), (j) or (k)
above.

2.                 
Agreements and Covenants of the Company. The Company hereby agrees and covenants to:


 


(a)              
Give all instructions to the Trustee hereunder in writing, signed by an Authorized Representative of the Company. In addition,
except with respect to its duties under Sections 1(i), (j) or (k) hereof, the 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 and with reasonable care,
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 Section 4 hereof, hold the Trustee harmless and indemnify the Trustee from and against any and all reasonable
and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable outside counsel fees and disbursements, or losses suffered by the Trustee
in connection with any action taken by it hereunder and in connection with any 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 interest earned on the Property, except for expenses and losses resulting from the Trustee’s
gross negligence, fraud 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 Section 2(b), it shall
notify the Company in writing of such claim (hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnified Claim”); provided
that no failure or delay by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall relieve the Company from its obligations under this Agreement,
except as and to the extent it is found, in a final, unappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, that such failure or
delay actually and materially prejudiced the Company. 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 or delayed. The Trustee may not agree to settle any Indemnified Claim without the prior
written consent of the Company, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Company may participate in such
action with its own counsel and at its sole cost and expense;

and transaction processing fee which fees shall be subject to modification by the parties from time to time. It is expressly understood
that the Property shall not be used to pay such fees unless and until it is distributed to the Company pursuant to Sections 1(i)
through 1(k) hereof. The Company shall pay the Trustee the initial acceptance fee and the first annual administration fee at the
consummation of the Offering. The Company shall not be responsible for any other fees or charges of the Trustee except as set forth in
this Section 2(c), Schedule A and as may be provided in Section 2(b) hereof;


 


(d)               In
connection with any vote of the Company’s shareholders regarding any merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, share
purchase, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses or
entities (a “Business Combination”), provide to the Trustee an affidavit or certificate of the inspector
of elections for the shareholder meeting verifying the vote of such shareholders regarding such Business Combination;

or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Trustee with written notification to the Company, which counsel may be the Company’s

not limited to, income tax obligations, except pursuant to Section 1(j) hereof; or


 


(l)                
Verify calculations, qualify or otherwise approve the Company’s written requests for distributions pursuant to Sections
1(i), 1(j) or 1(k) hereof.

    6 


     


    

 


4.                  Trust Account Waiver. The Trustee has no right of set-off or any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”)
to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account, and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account that it
may have now or in the future. In the event the Trustee has any Claim against the Company under this Agreement, including, without limitation,
under Section 2(b) or Section 2(c) hereof, the Trustee shall pursue such Claim solely against the Company and its assets
outside the Trust Account and not against the Property or any monies in the Trust Account.


 


5.                 
Termination. This Agreement shall terminate as follows:


 


(a)              
If the Trustee gives written notice to the Company that it desires to resign under this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable
efforts to locate a successor trustee, pending which the Trustee shall continue to act in accordance with this Agreement. At such time
that the Company notifies the Trustee that a successor trustee has been appointed by the Company and has agreed to become subject to the
terms of this Agreement (whether following the Trustee giving notice that it desires to resign under this Agreement or the Company otherwise
electing to replace the Trustee under this Agreement), the Trustee shall transfer the management of the Trust Account to the successor
trustee, including but not limited to the transfer of copies of the reports and statements relating to the Trust Account, whereupon this
Agreement shall terminate; provided, however, that in the event that the Company does not locate a successor trustee within
ninety (90) days of receipt of the resignation notice from the Trustee, the Trustee may submit an application to have the Property deposited
with any court in the State of New York or with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and upon such deposit,
the Trustee shall be immune from any liability whatsoever; or


 


(b)              
At such time that the Trustee has completed the liquidation of the Trust Account and its obligations in accordance with the provisions
of Section 1(i) hereof and distributed the Property in accordance with the provisions of the Termination Letter, this Agreement
shall terminate except with respect to Section 2(b).


 


(c)              
If the Offering is not consummated within ten (10) business days of the date of this Agreement, in which case any funds received
by the Trustee from the Company or TradeUP Global Sponsor LLC, as applicable, shall be returned promptly following the receipt by the
Trustee of written instructions from the Company.


 


6.                 
Miscellaneous.


 


(a)               The
Company and the Trustee each acknowledge that the Trustee will follow the security procedures set forth herein with respect to funds
transferred from the Trust Account. The Company and the Trustee will each restrict access to confidential information relating to
such security procedures to authorized persons. Each party must notify the other party immediately if it has reason to believe
unauthorized persons may have obtained access to such confidential information, or of any change in its authorized personnel. In
executing funds transfers, the Trustee shall rely upon all information supplied to it by the Company, including, account names,
account numbers, and all other identifying information relating to a Beneficiary, Beneficiary’s bank or intermediary bank.
Except for any liability arising out of the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, the Trustee shall not be
liable for any loss, liability or out-of-pocket expense resulting from any error in the information or transmission of the
funds.


 






    7 


     


    

 


(b)               This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, applicable
to contracts wholly performed within the borders of such state and without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result
in application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. This Agreement may be executed in several original or facsimile counterparts,
each one of which shall constitute an original, and together shall constitute but one instrument.


 


(c)               This
Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except
for Sections 1(i) through (m)1(j) hereof (which sections may not be modified, amended or deleted without the affirmative
vote of sixty-five percent (65%) of the then outstanding Ordinary Shares and Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share,
of the Company, voting together as a single class; provided that no such amendment will affect any shareholder of the Company
who has validly elected to redeem his, her or its Ordinary Shares in connection with a shareholder vote sought to amend this
Agreement, this Agreement or any provision hereof may only be changed, amended or modified (other than to correct a typographical
error) by a writing signed by each of the parties hereto.


 


(d)              
The parties hereto consent to the jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court located in the City of New York, State of
New York, for purposes of resolving any disputes hereunder. AS TO ANY CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT,
EACH PARTY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Each of the Company and the Trustee hereby represents that it has the full right and power and has been duly authorized to enter
into this Agreement and to perform its respective obligations as contemplated hereunder. The Trustee acknowledges and agrees that it shall

Property, the Trustee is hereby expressly authorized, in its reasonable discretion, to comply with all writs, orders or decrees so
entered or issued, or which it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing is binding upon it. In the event that the Trustee
obeys or complies with any such writ, order or decree it shall not be liable to any of the Parties or to any other person, firm or

(l)                
The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligation under this Agreement
arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts
of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; wars; acts of terrorism; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemic; riots; interruptions, loss
or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications services; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or
military authority or governmental action (any such event, a “Force Majeure Event”). Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, for purposes of all services provided pursuant to this Agreement (the “Services”),
Trustee shall continuously maintain business continuity and disaster recovery plans (including regular updates) that are consistent with
then-current industry standards applicable to similarly situated providers of services comparable to the Services. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the business continuity and/or disaster recovery plans will cover the computer software, computer hardware,
telecommunications capabilities and other similar or related items of automated, computerized, software system(s) and network(s) or system(s)
and will be designed, among other things, to permit the ongoing operation and functionality of the Services on a continuous basis and/or
to facilitate the continuation and/or resumption of, the Services. In the event of disruption in the Services for any reason including
the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event that causes Trustee to be required to allocate limited resources between or among Trustee’s
affected customers, Trustee shall not do so in a manner that is intended to treat the Company less favorably than other similarly situated
affected customers generally. In addition, in the event Trustee has knowledge that there is, or has been, an incident affecting the integrity
or availability of Trustee’s business continuity and disaster recovery system (the “System”), Trustee
shall endeavor to notify the Company in writing, as promptly as practicable, of the incident.


 


(m)            
The Trustee shall be entitled to consult with legal counsel in the event that a question or dispute arises with regard to the construction
of any of the provisions hereof, and shall incur no liability and shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with the advice or
opinion of such counsel.
