NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:


 


1.            Appointment
of Warrant Agent. The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company for the Warrants, and the Warrant
Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the same in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.


 


2.            Warrants.


 


2.1          Form of
Warrant. Each Warrant shall be issued in registered form only, and, if a physical certificate is issued, shall be in substantially
the form of Exhibit A hereto, the provisions of which are incorporated herein and shall be signed by, or bear the facsimile
signature of, the Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary or other principal officer
of the Company. In the event the person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Warrant shall have ceased to serve in the capacity
in which such person signed the Warrant before such Warrant is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased
to be such at the date of issuance.


 


2.2          Effect
of Countersignature. If a physical certificate is issued, unless and until countersigned by the Warrant Agent pursuant to this Agreement,
a Warrant certificate shall be invalid and of no effect and may not be exercised by the holder thereof.


 






    	 	2	 



     


    

 


2.3          Registration.


 


2.3.1            Warrant
Register. The Warrant Agent shall maintain books (the “Warrant Register”) for the registration of original
issuance and the registration of transfer of the Warrants. Upon the initial issuance of the Warrants in book entry from, the Warrant Agent
shall issue and register the Warrants in the names of the respective holders thereof in such denominations and otherwise in accordance
with instructions delivered to the Warrant Agent by the Company. All of the Public Warrants shall initially be represented by one or more
book-entry certificates (each, a “Book-Entry Warrant Certificate”) deposited with The Depository Trust Company
(the “Depositary”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., a nominee of the Depositary. Ownership
of beneficial interests in the Public Warrants shall be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership shall be effected through, records
maintained by (i) the Depositary or its nominee for each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, or (ii) institutions that have accounts
with the Depositary (each such institution, with respect to a Warrant in its account, a “Participant”).


 


If the Depositary subsequently
ceases to make its book-entry settlement system available for the Public Warrants, the Company may instruct the Warrant Agent regarding
making other arrangements for book-entry settlement. In the event that the Public Warrants are not eligible for, or it is no longer necessary
to have the Public Warrants available in, book-entry form, the Warrant Agent shall provide written instructions to the Depositary to deliver
to the Warrant Agent for cancellation each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, and the Company shall instruct the Warrant Agent to deliver
to the Depositary definitive certificates in physical form evidencing such Warrants (“Definitive Warrant Certificate”).
Such Definitive Warrant Certificate shall be in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A, with appropriate insertions, modifications
and omissions, as provided above.


 


2.3.2            Registered
Holder. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat
the person in whose name such Warrant is registered in the Warrant Register (the “Registered Holder”) as the
absolute owner of such Warrant and of each Warrant represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on
a Definitive Warrant Certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Warrant Agent), for the purpose of any exercise thereof,
and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


2.4          Detachability
of Warrants. The Common Stock and Public Warrants comprising the Units shall begin separate trading on the 52nd day following
the date of the Prospectus or, if such 52nd day is not on a day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday, on which
banks in New York City are generally open for normal business (a “Business Day”), then on the immediately succeeding
Business Day following such date, or earlier (the “Detachment Date”) with the consent of EF Hutton, division
of Benchmark Investments, LLC, as representative of the several underwriters (the “Representative”), but in
no event shall the Common Stock and the Public Warrants comprising the Units be separately traded until (A) the Company has filed
a current report on Form 8-K with the Commission containing an audited balance sheet reflecting the receipt by the Company of the
gross proceeds of the Offering, including the proceeds received by the Company from the exercise by the underwriters of their right to
purchase additional Units in the Offering (the “Over-Allotment Option”), if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised
prior to the filing of the current report on Form 8-K, and (B) the Company issues a press release and files with the Commission
a current report on Form 8-K announcing when such separate trading shall begin.


 






    	 	3	 



     


    

 


2.5          No
Fractional Warrants Other Than as Part of Units. The Company shall not issue fractional Warrants other than as part of the Units,
each of which is comprised of one share of Common Stock and one-half of one Public Warrant. If, upon the detachment of Public Warrants
from Units or otherwise, a holder of Warrants would be entitled to receive a fractional Warrant, the Company shall round down to the nearest
whole number the number of Warrants to be issued to such holder.


 


2.6          Private
Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants shall be identical
to the Public Warrants, except that so long as they are held by the Sponsor or any Permitted Transferees (as defined below), as applicable,
the Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants: (i) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, (ii) may
not be transferred, assigned or sold until after the completion by the Company of an initial Business Combination (as defined below),
and (iii) shall not be redeemable by the Company; provided, however, during such period the Private Placement Warrants and the Working
Capital Warrants and any shares of Common Stock held by the Sponsor or any of its Permitted Transferees, as applicable, and issued upon
exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants may be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders thereof:


 


(a)            to
the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliate or family member of any of the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliate
of the Sponsor or to any member(s) of the Sponsor or any of their affiliates, officers, directors and direct and indirect equityholders;


 


(b)            in
the case of an individual, by gift to a member such individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member
of such individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such individual or to a charitable organization;


 


(c)            in
the case of an individual, by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death of such person;


 


(d)            in
the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order;


 


(e)            by
private sales or transfers made in connection with the consummation of an initial Business Combination at prices no greater than the price
at which the Warrants were originally purchased;


 


(f)            in
the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to consummation of the Company’s Business Combination; or


 


(g)            by
virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware or the Sponsor’s limited liability company agreement upon dissolution of the Sponsor;


 


(h)            in
the event of the Company’s liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction which results
in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property subsequent
to the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination (as defined below);


 






    	 	4	 



     


    

 


provided, however, that, in each
case these permitted transferees (the “Permitted Transferees”) must enter into a written agreement with the
Company agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions in this Agreement.


 


2.7          Working
Capital Warrants. The Working Capital Warrants shall be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.


 


2.8          Post-IPO
Warrants. The Post-IPO Warrants, when and if issued, shall have the same terms and be in the same form as the Public Warrants.


 


3.            Terms
and Exercise of Warrants.


 


3.1          Warrant
Price. Each Warrant shall entitle the Registered Holder thereof, subject to the provisions of such Warrant and of this Agreement,
to purchase from the Company the number of shares of Common Stock stated therein, at the price of $11.50 per share, subject to the adjustments
provided in Section 4 hereof and in the last sentence of this Section 3.1. The term “Warrant Price”
as used in this Agreement shall mean the price per share at which shares of Common Stock may be purchased at the time a Warrant is exercised.
The Company in its sole discretion may lower the Warrant Price at any time prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below) for a period
of not less than twenty (20) Business Days, provided, that the Company shall provide at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of
such reduction to Registered Holders of the Warrants and, provided further that any such reduction shall be identical among all of the
Warrants.


 


3.2          Duration
of Warrants. A Warrant may be exercised only during the period (the “Exercise Period”) commencing on the
later of: (i) the date that the Company completes a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization
or similar business combination, involving the Company and one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”),
or (ii) the date that is twelve (12) months from the date of the closing of the Offering, and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time on the earlier to occur of: (x) the date that is five (5) years after the date on which the Company completes its
initial Business Combination, (y) the liquidation of the Company if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination, or (z) 5:00
p.m., New York City time on the Redemption Date (as defined below) as provided in Section 6.2 hereof (the “Expiration
Date”); provided, however, that the exercise of any Warrant shall be subject to the satisfaction of any applicable
conditions, as set forth in subsection 3.3.2 below with respect to an effective registration statement or a valid exemption therefrom
being available. Except with respect to the right to receive the Redemption Price (as defined below) in the event of a redemption (as
set forth in Section 6 hereof), each outstanding Warrant not exercised on or before the Expiration Date shall become void,
and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the
Expiration Date. The Company in its sole discretion may extend the duration of the Warrants by delaying the Expiration Date; provided,
that the Company shall provide at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of any such extension to Registered Holders of the Warrants
and, provided further that any such extension shall be identical in duration among all the Warrants.

3.3          Exercise
of Warrants.


 


3.3.1            Payment.
Subject to the provisions of the Warrant and this Agreement, a Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder thereof by delivering
to the Warrant Agent at its corporate trust department (i) the Definitive Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrants to be exercised,
or, in the case of a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, the Warrants to be exercised (the “Book-Entry Warrants”)
on the records of the Depositary to an account of the Warrant Agent at the Depositary designated for such purposes in writing by the Warrant
Agent to the Depositary from time to time, (ii) an election to purchase (“Election to Purchase”) shares
of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant, properly completed and executed by the Registered Holder on the reverse of the
Definitive Warrant Certificate or, in the case of a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, properly delivered by the Participant in accordance
with the Depositary’s procedures, and (iii) payment in full of the Warrant Price for each full share of Common Stock as to
which the Warrant is exercised and any and all applicable taxes due in connection with the exercise of the Warrant, the exchange of the
Warrant for the shares of Common Stock and the issuance of such shares of Common Stock, as follows:


 





(a)            in
lawful money of the United States, by good certified check or wire payable to the Warrant Agent;


 


(b)            in
the event of a redemption pursuant to Section 6 hereof in which the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”)
has elected to require all holders of the Warrants to exercise such Warrants on a “cashless basis,” by surrendering the Warrants
for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common
Stock underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the Warrant Price and the “Fair Market Value”, as defined
in this subsection 3.3.1(b) by (y) the Fair Market Value. Solely for purposes of this subsection 3.3.1(b) and
Section 6.3, the “Fair Market Value” shall mean the average last reported sale price of the Common Stock for the
ten (10) trading days ending on the third day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the Warrants,
pursuant to Section 6 hereof;


 


(c)            Intentionally
Omitted; or


 


(d)            on
a cashless basis, as provided in Section 7.4 hereof.


 






    	 	6	 



     


    

 


3.3.2            Issuance
of Shares of Common Stock on Exercise. As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant and the clearance of the funds in
payment of the Warrant Price (if payment is pursuant to subsection 3.3.1(a)), the Company shall issue to the Registered Holder
of such Warrant a book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which he, she or
it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it, and if such Warrant shall not have been exercised
in full, a new book-entry position or countersigned Warrant, as applicable, for the number of shares of Common Stock as to which such
Warrant shall not have been exercised. If fewer than all the Warrants evidenced by a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate are exercised, a notation
shall be made to the records maintained by the Depositary, its nominee for each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, or a Participant, as appropriate,
evidencing the balance of the Warrants remaining after such exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated
to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant and shall have no obligation to settle such Warrant exercise
unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants is then effective
and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company’s satisfying its obligations under Section 7.4 or a
valid exemption from registration is available. No Warrant shall be exercisable and the Company shall not be obligated to issue shares
of Common Stock upon exercise of a Warrant unless the Common Stock issuable upon such Warrant exercise has been registered, qualified
or deemed to be exempt from registration or qualification under the securities laws of the state of residence of the Registered Holder
of the Warrants, except pursuant to Section 7.4. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences
are not satisfied with respect to a Warrant, the holder of such Warrant shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrant and such Warrant
may have no value and expire worthless, in which case the purchaser of a Unit containing such Warrants shall have paid the full purchase
price for the Unit solely for the shares of Common Stock underlying such Unit. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle
the Warrant exercise. The Company may require holders of Warrants to settle the Warrant on a “cashless basis” pursuant to
subsection 3.3.1(b) and Section 7.4. If, by reason of any exercise of Warrants on a “cashless basis”,
the holder of any Warrant would be entitled, upon the exercise of such Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share of Common
Stock, the Company shall round down to the nearest whole number, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to such holder.


 


3.3.3            Valid
Issuance. All shares of Common Stock issued upon the proper exercise of a Warrant in conformity with this Agreement shall be validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable.


 


3.3.4            Date
of Issuance. Each person in whose name any book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for shares of Common Stock is issued
shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock on the date on which the Warrant,
or book-entry position representing such Warrant, was surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price was made, irrespective of the date
of delivery of such certificate in the case of a certificated Warrant, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date
when the share transfer books of the Company or book-entry system of the Warrant Agent are closed, such person shall be deemed to have
become the holder of such shares of Common Stock at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the share transfer books
or book-entry system are open.


 






    	 	7	 



     


    

 


3.3.5            Maximum
Percentage. A holder of a Warrant may notify the Company in writing in the event it elects to be subject to the provisions contained
in this subsection 3.3.5; however, no holder of a Warrant shall be subject to this subsection 3.3.5 unless he, she
or it makes such election. If the election is made by a holder, the Warrant Agent shall not effect the exercise of the holder’s
Warrant, and such holder shall not have the right to exercise such Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such
person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the Warrant Agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess
of 4.9% or 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify)(the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock beneficially owned by such person and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock
that would be issuable upon (x) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of the Warrant beneficially owned by such person and
its affiliates and (y) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially
owned by such person and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants)
subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence,
for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). For purposes of the Warrant, in determining the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the
Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly report on Form 10-Q, current report on Form 8-K or other
public filing with the Commission as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other
notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time,
upon the written request of the holder of the Warrant, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days, confirm orally and in writing
to such holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall
be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of equity securities of the Company by the holder and its affiliates since
the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, the holder of a
Warrant may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage applicable to such holder to any other percentage specified
in such notice; provided, however, that any such increase shall not be effective until the sixty-first (61st)
day after such notice is delivered to the Company.


 


4.            Adjustments.


 


4.1          Stock
Dividends.


 


4.1.1            Split-Ups.
If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 below, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a split-up of shares of Common Stock or other similar event,
then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise
of each Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of Common Stock. A rights offering to holders
of the Common Stock entitling holders to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price less than the “Fair Market Value” (as
defined below) shall be deemed a stock dividend of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares
of Common Stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that
are convertible into or exercisable for the Common Stock) and (ii) one (1) minus the quotient of (x) the price per share
of Common Stock paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the Fair Market Value. For purposes of this subsection 4.1.1,
(i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, in determining the price payable for
Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon
exercise or conversion and (ii) “Fair Market Value” means the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock as reported
during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of Common Stock trade
on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.


 






    	 	8	 



     


    

 


4.1.2            Extraordinary
Dividends. If the Company, at any time while the Warrants are outstanding and unexpired, shall pay a dividend or make a distribution
in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of the Common Stock on account of such shares of Common Stock (or other shares of the
Company’s capital stock into which the Warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described in subsection 4.1.1 above,
(b) Ordinary Cash Dividends (as defined below), (c) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of the Common Stock in connection
with a proposed initial Business Combination, (d) as a result of the repurchase of shares of Common Stock by the Company if a proposed
Business Combination is presented to the stockholders of the Company for approval, (e) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders
of Common Stock in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to
modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares of Common Stock if the Company does
not complete the Business Combination within the period set forth in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation
or (f) in connection with the redemption of public shares of Common Stock upon the failure of the Company to complete its initial
Business Combination and any subsequent distribution of its assets upon its liquidation (any such non-excluded event being referred to
herein as an “Extraordinary Dividend”), then the Warrant Price shall be decreased, effective immediately after
the effective date of such Extraordinary Dividend, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value (as determined by the Board, in
good faith) of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Common Stock in respect of such Extraordinary Dividend. For purposes
of this subsection 4.1.2, “Ordinary Cash Dividends” means any cash dividend or cash distribution which,
when combined on a per share basis, with the per share amounts of all other cash dividends and cash distributions paid on the Common Stock
during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution (as adjusted to appropriately reflect any
of the events referred to in other subsections of this Section 4 and excluding cash dividends or cash distributions that resulted
in an adjustment to the Warrant Price or to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant) does not exceed
$0.50 (being 5% of the offering price of the Units in the Offering).


 


4.2          Aggregation
of Shares. If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 hereof, the number of outstanding shares
of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other
similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event,
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding
shares of Common Stock.


 


4.3          Adjustments
in Exercise Price.


 


4.3.1            Whenever
the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is adjusted, as provided in subsection 4.1.1
or Section 4.2 above, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Warrant Price immediately
prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon
the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares
of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.


 






    	 	9	 



     


    

 


4.3.2            If
(i) the Company issues additional shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares
of Common Stock for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective
issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Common Stock, with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith
by the Board (and in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held
by such holder or affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “New Issuance Price”), (ii) the
aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for
the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation thereof (net of redemptions) and (iii) the volume
weighted average trading price of the Common Stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which
the Company consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per
share, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the New Issuance
Price and the Redemption Trigger Price (as defined below) shall be adjusted to equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the
Newly Issued Price.


 


4.4          Replacement
of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the issued and outstanding shares
of Common Stock (other than a change under subsections 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 or Section 4.2 hereof or that solely affects
the par value of such shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity
or conversion of the Company as another entity (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation
and is not a subsidiary of any entity whose shareholders did not own all or substantially all of the Common Stock in substantially the
same proportions immediately prior to such transaction and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another entity of the assets or other property of the Company as
an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is liquidated or dissolved, the holders of the Warrants
shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Warrants and
in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights
represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification,
reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the Warrants would
have received if such holder had exercised his, her or its Warrant(s) immediately prior to such event. If any reclassification or
reorganization also results in a change in shares of Common Stock covered by Section 4.1 or 4.2, then such adjustment
shall be made pursuant to Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.3, and this Section 4.4.
The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations,
sales or other transfers. In no event will the Warrant Price be reduced to less than the par value per share issuable upon exercise of
the Warrant.

4.5          Notices
of Changes in Warrant. Upon every adjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
a Warrant, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Warrant Agent, which notice shall state the Warrant Price resulting from
such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable at such price upon the exercise
of a Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Upon the
occurrence of any event specified in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4, the Company shall give written notice
of the occurrence of such event to each holder of a Warrant, at the last address set forth for such holder in the Warrant Register, of
the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality
or validity of such event.


 


4.6          No
Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not issue fractional
shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants. If, by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4, the
holder of any Warrant would be entitled, upon the exercise of such Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company shall,
upon such exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to such holder.


 


4.7          Form of
Warrant. The form of Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4, and Warrants issued
after such adjustment may state the same Warrant Price and the same number of shares of Common Stock as is stated in the Warrants initially
issued pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in
the form of Warrant that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof, and any Warrant thereafter issued
or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.


 


4.8          Other
Events. In case any event shall occur affecting the Company as to which none of the provisions of preceding subsections of this Section 4
are strictly applicable, but which would require an adjustment to the terms of the Warrants in order to (i) avoid an adverse impact
on the Warrants and (ii) effectuate the intent and purpose of this Section 4, then, in each such case, the Company shall
appoint a firm of independent public accountants, investment banking or other appraisal firm of recognized national standing, which shall
give its opinion as to whether or not any adjustment to the rights represented by the Warrants is necessary to effectuate the intent and
purpose of this Section 4 and, if they determine that an adjustment is necessary, the terms of such adjustment, provided,
however, that under no circumstances shall the Warrants be adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.8 as a result of any issuance
of securities in connection with the Business Combination. The Company shall adjust the terms of the Warrants in a manner that is consistent
with any adjustment recommended in such opinion. For the avoidance of doubt, all adjustments made pursuant to this Section 4.8
shall be made equally to all outstanding Warrants.


 


4.9          No
Adjustment. For the avoidance of doubt, no adjustment shall be made to the terms of the Warrants solely as a result of an adjustment
to the conversion ratio of the Company’s Class B common stock (the “Class B Common Stock”) into
shares of Common Stock or the conversion of the shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Common Stock, in each case, pursuant
to the Company’s Charter, as amended from time to time.

5.            Transfer
and Exchange of Warrants.


 


5.1          Registration
of Transfer. The Warrant Agent shall register the transfer, from time to time, of any outstanding Warrant upon the Warrant Register,
upon surrender of such Warrant for transfer, in the case of certificated Warrants, properly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed
and accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant representing an equal aggregate number
of Warrants shall be issued and the old Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. In the case of certificated Warrants, the Warrants
so cancelled shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company from time to time upon request.


 


5.2          Procedure
for Surrender of Warrants. Warrants may be surrendered to the Warrant Agent, together with a written request for exchange or transfer,
and thereupon the Warrant Agent shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as requested by the Registered Holder of the
Warrants so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants; provided, however, that except as otherwise provided
herein or in any Book-Entry Warrant Certificate or Definitive Warrant Certificate, each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate and Definitive
Warrant Certificate may be transferred only in whole and only to the Depositary, to another nominee of the Depositary, to a successor
depository, or to a nominee of a successor depository; provided further, however, that in the event that a Warrant surrendered
for transfer bears a restrictive legend (as in the case of the Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants), the Warrant
Agent shall not cancel such Warrant and issue new Warrants in exchange thereof until the Warrant Agent has received an opinion of counsel
for the Company stating that such transfer may be made and indicating whether the new Warrants must also bear a restrictive legend.


 


5.3          Fractional
Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange which shall result in the issuance
of a warrant certificate or book-entry position for a fraction of a warrant.


 


5.4          Service
Charges. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrants.


 


5.5          Warrant
Execution and Countersignature. The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign and to deliver, in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement, the Warrants required to be issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5, and the Company, whenever
required by the Warrant Agent, shall supply the Warrant Agent with Warrants duly executed on behalf of the Company for such purpose.


 


5.6          Transfer
of Warrants. Prior to the Detachment Date, the Public Warrants may be transferred or exchanged only together with the Unit in which
such Warrant is included, and only for the purpose of effecting, or in conjunction with, a transfer or exchange of such Unit. Furthermore,
each transfer of a Unit on the register relating to such Units shall operate also to transfer the Warrants included in such Unit. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 5.6 shall have no effect on any transfer of Warrants on and after the Detachment
Date.

6.            Redemption.


 


6.1          Redemption.
Subject to Section 6.4 hereof, not less than all of the outstanding Warrants may be redeemed, at the option of the
Company, at any time while they are exercisable and prior to their expiration, at the office of the Warrant Agent, upon notice to the
Registered Holders of the Warrants, as described in Section 6.2 below, at the price of $0.01 per Warrant (the “Redemption
Price”), provided that the last sales price of the Common Stock reported has been at least $18.00 per share (subject to
adjustment in compliance with Section 4 hereof) (the “Redemption Trigger Price”), on each of twenty
(20) trading days within the thirty (30) trading-day period ending on the third day prior to the date on which notice of the redemption
is given and provided that there is an effective registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants, and a current prospectus relating thereto, available throughout the 30-day Redemption Period (as defined in Section 6.2
below) unless the Company has elected to require the exercise of the Warrants on a “cashless basis” pursuant to subsection
3.3.1; provided, however, that if and when the Warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may not exercise such redemption
right if the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable
state blue sky laws or the Company is unable to effect such registration or qualification.


 


6.2          Date
Fixed for, and Notice of, Redemption. In the event that the Company elects to redeem all of the Warrants, the Company shall fix a
date for the redemption (the “Redemption Date”). Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail, postage
prepaid, by the Company not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Redemption Date (the “30-day Redemption Period”)
to the Registered Holders of the Warrants to be redeemed at their last addresses as they shall appear on the registration books. Any notice
mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the Registered Holder received
such notice.


 


6.3          Exercise
After Notice of Redemption. The Warrants may be exercised, for cash (or on a “cashless basis” in accordance with subsection
3.3.1(b) of this Agreement) at any time after notice of redemption shall have been given by the Company pursuant to Section 6.2
hereof and prior to the Redemption Date. In the event that the Company determines to require all holders of Warrants to exercise their
Warrants on a “cashless basis” pursuant to subsection 3.3.1, the notice of redemption shall contain the information
necessary to calculate the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of the Warrants, including the “Fair Market
Value” (as such term is defined in subsection 3.3.1(b) hereof) in such case. On and after the Redemption Date, the record
holder of the Warrants shall have no further rights except to receive, upon surrender of the Warrants, the Redemption Price.


 


6.4          Exclusion
of Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants. The Company agrees that the redemption rights provided in this Section 6 shall
not apply to the Private Placement Warrants or the Working Capital Warrants if at the time of the redemption such Private Placement Warrants
or the Working Capital Warrants continue to be held by the Sponsor or any Permitted Transferees, as applicable. However, once such Private
Placement Warrants or Working Capital Warrants are transferred (other than to Permitted Transferees under Section 2.6),
the Company may redeem the Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants, provided that the criteria for redemption are
met, including the opportunity of the holder of such Private Placement Warrants or the Working Capital Warrants to exercise the Private
Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants prior to redemption pursuant to Section 6.3. Private Placement Warrants
and Working Capital Warrants that are transferred to persons other than Permitted Transferees shall upon such transfer cease to be Private
Placement Warrants or Working Capital Warrants and shall become Public Warrants under this Agreement.

7.            Other
Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Warrants.


 


7.1          No
Rights as Stockholder. A Warrant does not entitle the Registered Holder thereof to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company,
including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to vote or to consent
or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of stockholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other
matter.


 


7.2          Lost,
Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Warrants. If any Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Company and the Warrant Agent
may on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as they may in their discretion impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant,
include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination, tenor, and date as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated, or
destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost,
stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.


 


7.3          Reservation
of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock that shall be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement.


 


7.4          Registration
of Common Stock; Cashless Exercise at Company’s Option.


 


7.4.1            Registration
of the Common Stock. The Company agrees that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the
closing of its initial Business Combination, it shall use its best efforts to file with the Commission a registration statement for the
registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company shall use its
best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus
relating thereto, until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. If any such registration statement
has not been declared effective by the 60th Business Day following the closing of the Business Combination, holders of the Warrants shall
have the right, during the period beginning on the 61st Business Day after the closing of the Business Combination and ending
upon such registration statement being declared effective by the Commission, and during any other period when the Company shall fail to
have maintained an effective registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, to exercise
such Warrants on a “cashless basis,” by exchanging the Warrants (in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities
Act (or any successor rule) or another exemption) for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing
(x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the Warrant
Price and the “Fair Market Value” (as defined below) by (y) the Fair Market Value. Solely for purposes of this subsection
7.4.1, “Fair Market Value” shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock as reported during the ten
(10) trading day period ending on the third day prior to the date that notice of exercise is received by the Warrant Agent from the
holder of such Warrants or its securities broker or intermediary. The date that notice of cashless exercise is received by the Warrant
Agent shall be conclusively determined by the Warrant Agent. In connection with the “cashless exercise” of a Warrant, the
Company shall, upon request, provide the Warrant Agent with an opinion of counsel for the Company (which shall be an outside law firm
with securities law experience) stating that (i) the exercise of the Warrants on a cashless basis in accordance with this subsection
7.4.1 is not required to be registered under the Securities Act and (ii) the shares of Common Stock issued upon such exercise
shall be freely tradable under United States federal securities laws by anyone who is not an affiliate (as such term is defined in Rule 144
under the Securities Act (or any successor statute)) of the Company and, accordingly, shall not be required to bear a restrictive legend.
Except as provided in subsection 7.4.2, for the avoidance of any doubt, unless and until all of the Warrants have been exercised
or have expired, the Company shall continue to be obligated to comply with its registration obligations under the first three sentences
of this subsection 7.4.1.


 






    	 	14	 



     


    

 


7.4.2            Cashless
Exercise at Company’s Option. If the Common Stock is at the time of any exercise of a Warrant not listed on a national securities
exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities
Act (or any successor statute), the Company may, at its option, (i) require holders of Warrants who exercise Warrants to exercise
such Warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act (or any successor statute)
as described in subsection 7.4.1 and (ii) in the event the Company so elects, the Company shall not be required to file or
maintain in effect a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the Warrants, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary. If the Company does not elect at the time of exercise to
require a holder of Warrants who exercises Warrants to exercise such Warrants on a “cashless basis,” it agrees to use its
best efforts to register or qualify for sale the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant under the blue sky laws of the state
of residence of the exercising Warrant holder to the extent an exemption is not available.


 


8.            Concerning
the Warrant Agent and Other Matters.


 


8.1          Payment
of Taxes. The Company shall from time to time promptly pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company or the Warrant
Agent in respect of the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants, but the Company shall not be
obligated to pay any transfer taxes in respect of the Warrants or such shares of Common Stock.


 






    	 	15	 



     


    

 


8.2          Resignation,
Consolidation, or Merger of Warrant Agent.


 


8.2.1            Appointment
of Successor Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may resign its duties and be discharged
from all further duties and liabilities hereunder after giving sixty (60) days’ notice in writing to the Company. If the office
of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall appoint in writing a successor
Warrant Agent in place of the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of thirty (30) days after
it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the Warrant Agent or by the holder of a Warrant (who shall, with
such notice, submit his Warrant for inspection by the Company), then the holder of any Warrant may apply to the Supreme Court of the State
of New York for the County of New York for the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent at the Company’s cost. Any successor Warrant
Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such court, shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of
New York, in good standing and having its principal office in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, and authorized under
such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. After appointment,
any successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations of its predecessor
Warrant Agent with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but if for any reason
it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument
transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the authority, powers, and rights of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and upon
request of any successor Warrant Agent the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all instruments in writing for
more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties,
and obligations.


 


8.2.2            Notice
of Successor Warrant Agent. In the event a successor Warrant Agent shall be appointed, the Company shall give notice thereof to the
predecessor Warrant Agent and the Transfer Agent for the Common Stock not later than the effective date of any such appointment.


 


8.2.3            Merger
or Consolidation of Warrant Agent. Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated
or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party shall be the successor Warrant
Agent under this Agreement without any further act.


 


8.3          Fees
and Expenses of Warrant Agent.


 


8.3.1            Remuneration.
The Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent reasonable remuneration for its services as such Warrant Agent hereunder and shall, pursuant
to its obligations under this Agreement, reimburse the Warrant Agent upon demand for all reasonable and documented third party expenditures
that the Warrant Agent may reasonably incur in the execution of its duties hereunder.


 


8.3.2            Further
Assurances. The Company agrees to perform, execute, acknowledge, and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged, and
delivered all such further and other acts, instruments, and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Warrant Agent for the carrying
out or performing of the provisions of this Agreement.


 


8.4          Liability
of Warrant Agent.


 


8.4.1            Reliance
on Company Statement. Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or
desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact
or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established
by a statement signed by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Executive Vice
President, Vice President, Secretary or Chairman of the Board of the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may
rely upon such statement for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.


 






    	 	16	 



     


    

 


8.4.2            Indemnity.
The Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith, or breach of this
Agreement. The Company agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments,
costs and reasonable counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Agreement, except for any
amounts arising out of, in connection with or resulting from the Warrant Agent’s fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad
faith, or breach of this Agreement.


 


8.4.3            Exclusions.
The Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the validity of this Agreement or with respect to the validity or execution
of any Warrant (except its countersignature thereof). The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any breach by the Company of any
covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any Warrant. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible to make any adjustments
required under the provisions of Section 4 hereof or responsible for the manner, method, or amount of any such adjustment
or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such adjustment; nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make
any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement
or any Warrant or as to whether any shares of Common Stock shall, when issued, be valid and fully paid and non-assessable.


 


8.5          Acceptance
of Agency. The Warrant Agent hereby accepts the agency established by this Agreement and agrees to perform the same upon the terms
and conditions herein set forth and among other things, shall account promptly to the Company with respect to Warrants exercised and concurrently
account for, and pay to the Company, all monies received by the Warrant Agent for the purchase of shares of Common Stock through the exercise
of the Warrants.


 


8.6          Waiver.
The Warrant Agent has no right of set-off or any other right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”)
in, or to any distribution of, the Trust Account (as defined in that certain Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of the date
hereof, by and between the Company and the Warrant Agent as trustee thereunder) and hereby agrees not to seek recourse, reimbursement,
payment or satisfaction for any Claim against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever. The Warrant Agent hereby irrevocably waives
any and all Claims against the Trust Account, including any monies therein or any distribution therefrom and any and all rights to seek
access to the Trust Account.


 


9.            Miscellaneous
Provisions.


 


9.1          Successors.
All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for the benefit of the Company or the Warrant Agent shall bind and inure to the
benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

9.3          Applicable
Law and Exclusive Forum. The validity, interpretation, and performance of this Agreement and of the Warrants shall be governed in
all respects by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application
of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. The Company hereby agrees that any action, proceeding or claim against it arising out
of or relating in any way to this Agreement shall be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York, and irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be exclusive
forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. The Company hereby waives any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts
represent an inconvenient forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this paragraph will not apply to suits brought to enforce
any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America
are the sole and exclusive forum.


 






    	 	18	 



     


    

 


Any person or entity purchasing
or otherwise acquiring any interest in the Warrants shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provisions in
this Section 9.3. If any action, the subject matter of which is within the scope the forum provisions above, is filed in a
court other than a court located within the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
(a “foreign action”) in the name of any warrant holder, such warrant holder shall be deemed to have consented
to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of New York or the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions (an
 “enforcement action”), and (y) having service of process made upon such warrant holder in any such enforcement
action by service upon such warrant holder’s counsel in the foreign action as agent for such warrant holder.


 


9.4          Persons
Having Rights under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to confer upon, or give to, any person or corporation
other than the parties hereto and the Registered Holders of the Warrants and, for purposes of Sections 7.4, 9.4 and 9.9,
the Representatives, any right, remedy, or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or of any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise,
or agreement hereof. All covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises, and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be for the sole
and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and, for purposes of Sections 7.4, 9.4 and 9.9, the Representatives,
and their successors and assigns and of the Registered Holders of the Warrants.


 


9.5          Examination
of the Warrant Agreement. A copy of this Agreement shall be available at all reasonable times at the office of the Warrant Agent in
the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, for inspection by the Registered Holder of any Warrant. The Warrant Agent may require
any such holder to submit such holder’s Warrant for inspection by the Warrant Agent.


 


9.6          No
Waiver of Rights, Powers and Remedies. No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement,
and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party. No single
or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps
to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such
party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Agreement shall entitle
the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver

Warrant Certificate


 


This Warrant Certificate
certifies that                          
, or registered assigns, is the registered holder of warrant(s) evidenced hereby (the “Warrants”
and each, a “Warrant”) to purchase shares of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common
Stock”), of Monterey Capital Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).
Each Warrant entitles the holder, upon exercise during the period set forth in the Warrant Agreement referred to below, to receive from
the Company that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as set forth below, at the exercise price (the “Exercise
Price”) as determined pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, payable in lawful money (or through “cashless exercise”
as provided for in the Warrant Agreement) of the United States of America upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate and payment of the
Exercise Price at the office or agency of the Warrant Agent referred to below, subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the
Warrant Agreement. Defined terms used in this Warrant Certificate but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the
Warrant Agreement.


 


Each Warrant is initially
exercisable for one fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of any Warrant.
If, upon the exercise of Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share of Common Stock, the Company
will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Warrant holder. The
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events
set forth in the Warrant Agreement.


 


The initial Exercise Price
per share of Common Stock for any Warrant is equal to $11.50 per whole share. The Exercise Price is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence
of certain events set forth in the Warrant Agreement.


 






    	 	Exhibit A-1	 



     


    

 


Subject to the conditions
set forth in the Warrant Agreement, the Warrants may be exercised only during the Exercise Period and to the extent not exercised by the
end of such Exercise Period, such Warrants shall become void.


 


Reference is hereby made to
the further provisions of this Warrant Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof and such further provisions shall for all purposes
have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place.


 


This Warrant Certificate shall
not be valid unless countersigned by the Warrant Agent, as such term is used in the Warrant Agreement.


 


This Warrant Certificate shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles
thereof.

[Form of Warrant Certificate]


 


[Reverse]


 


The Warrants evidenced by
this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly authorized issue of Warrants entitling the holder on exercise to receive shares of Common
Stock and are issued or to be issued pursuant to a Warrant Agreement dated as of ___________, 2022 (the “Warrant Agreement”),
duly executed and delivered by the Company to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, as warrant
agent (the “Warrant Agent”), which Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part
of this instrument and is hereby referred to for a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities
thereunder of the Warrant Agent, the Company and the holders (the words “holders” or “holder”
meaning the Registered Holders or Registered Holder, respectively) of the Warrants. A copy of the Warrant Agreement may be obtained by
the holder hereof upon written request to the Company. Defined terms used in this Warrant Certificate but not defined herein shall have
the meanings given to them in the Warrant Agreement.


 


Warrants may be exercised
at any time during the Exercise Period set forth in the Warrant Agreement. The holder of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate
may exercise them by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the form of election to purchase set forth hereon properly completed
and executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price as specified in the Warrant Agreement (or through “cashless exercise”
as provided for in the Warrant Agreement) at the principal corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent. In the event that upon any exercise
of Warrants evidenced hereby the number of Warrants exercised shall be less than the total number of Warrants evidenced hereby, there
shall be issued to the holder hereof or his, her or its assignee, a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Warrants not exercised.


 


Notwithstanding anything else
in this Warrant Certificate or the Warrant Agreement, no Warrant may be exercised unless at the time of exercise (i) a registration
statement covering the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise is effective under the Securities Act and (ii) a prospectus
thereunder relating to the shares of Common Stock is current, except through “cashless exercise” as provided for in the Warrant
Agreement.


 


The Warrant Agreement provides
that upon the occurrence of certain events the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants set forth on the
face hereof may, subject to certain conditions, be adjusted. If, upon exercise of a Warrant, the holder thereof would be entitled to receive
a fractional interest in a share of Common Stock, the Company shall, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of shares of
Common Stock to be issued to the holder of the Warrant.


 


Warrant Certificates, when
surrendered at the principal corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent by the Registered Holder thereof in person or by legal representative
or attorney duly authorized in writing, may be exchanged, in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement,
but without payment of any service charge, for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor evidencing in the aggregate
a like number of Warrants.


 






    	 	Exhibit A-4	 



     


    

 


Upon due presentation for
registration of transfer of this Warrant Certificate at the office of the Warrant Agent a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates
of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants shall be issued to the transferee(s) in exchange for this
Warrant Certificate, subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, without charge except for any tax or other governmental
charge imposed in connection therewith.


 


The Company and the Warrant
Agent may deem and treat the Registered Holder(s) hereof as the absolute owner(s) of this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding
any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone), for the purpose of any exercise hereof, of any distribution to the
holder(s) hereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary. Neither the Warrants nor this Warrant Certificate entitles any holder hereof to any rights of a stockholder of the Company.
