by the Company to the Underwriters upon and concurrently with the consummation of the Business Combination (as defined below)
(the “Deferred Discount”); and


 


WHEREAS,
the Company and the Trustee desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Trustee
shall hold the Property.


 


NOW
THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:


 


1. Agreements
and Covenants of Trustee. The Trustee hereby agrees and covenants to:


 


(a)
Hold the Property in trust for the Beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in the Trust Account established
by the Trustee in the United States at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and at a brokerage institution selected by the Trustee that
is reasonably satisfactory to the Company;


 


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


 


(c)
In a timely manner, upon the written instruction of the Company, invest and reinvest the Property solely in United States government
securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, having a maturity of
185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 promulgated
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (or any successor rule), which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury
obligations, as determined by the Company; it being understood that the Trust Account will earn no interest while account funds
are uninvested awaiting the Company’s written instructions hereunder and the Trustee may earn bank credits or other consideration;


 


(d)
Collect and receive, when due, all principal, interest or other income arising from the Property, which shall become part of the
“Property,” as such term is used herein; 


 






    1


     


    

 


(e)
Promptly notify the Company and the Representative of all communications received by the Trustee with respect to any Property
requiring action by the Company;


 


(f)
Supply any necessary information or documents as may be requested by the Company (or its authorized agents) in connection with
the Company’s preparation of the tax returns relating to assets held in the Trust Account;


 


(g)
Participate in any plan or proceeding for protecting or enforcing any right or interest arising from the Property if, as and when
instructed by the Company to do so;


 


(h)
Render to the Company monthly written statements of the activities of, and amounts in, the Trust Account reflecting all receipts
and disbursements of the Trust Account;


 


(i)
Commence liquidation of the Trust Account only after and promptly after (x) receipt of, and only in accordance with, the
terms of a letter from the Company (“Termination Letter”) in a form substantially similar to that attached
hereto as either Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as applicable, signed on behalf of the Company
by its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Secretary or Chairman of the board of directors of the Company
(the “Board”) or other authorized officers of the Company, and complete the liquidation of the Trust
Account and distribute the Property in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its
taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest that may be released to the Company to pay dissolution expenses), only as directed in the
Termination Letter and the other documents referred to therein, or (y) upon the date which is, the later of (1) 18 months after
the closing of the Offering and (2) such later date as may be approved by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with
the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association if a Termination Letter has not been received
by the Trustee prior to such date, in which case the Trust Account shall be liquidated in accordance with the procedures set forth
in the Termination Letter attached as Exhibit B and the Property in the Trust Account, including interest not previously
released to the Company to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest that may be released to the Company to pay dissolution
expenses) shall be distributed to the Public Shareholders of record as of such date; provided, however,
that in the event the Trustee receives a Termination Letter in a form substantially similar to Exhibit B hereto,
or if the Trustee begins to liquidate the Property because it has received no such Termination Letter by the date specified in
clause (y) of this Section 1(i) the Trustee shall keep the Trust Account open until twelve (12) months following the date
the Property has been 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, 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; 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 initially deposited in 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
as Exhibit D, the Trustee shall distribute on behalf of the 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 ability of
Public Shareholders to seek redemption in connection with an initial Business Combination or 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 Section 1(i) of the Agreement. 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; and


 


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

Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President or Secretary. In addition, except with respect to its duties under Sections
1(i), 1(j) and 1(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 expenses, including reasonable 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”).
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 such
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company may participate in such action with its own counsel;


 


(c)
Pay the Trustee the fees set forth on Schedule A hereto, including an initial acceptance fee, annual administration
fee, 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 the closing of the Business Combination (defined

of the Offering. The Trustee shall refund to the Company the annual administration fee (on a pro rata basis) with respect to any
period after the liquidation of the Trust Account. 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 a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase,
reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses (the “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;


 


(e)
Provide the Representative with a copy of any Termination Letter(s) and/or any other correspondence that is sent to the Trustee
with respect to any proposed withdrawal from the Trust Account promptly after it issues the same;


 


(f)
Unless otherwise agreed between the Company and the Representative, ensure that any Instruction Letter (as defined in Exhibit
A) delivered in connection with a Termination Letter in the form of Exhibit A expressly provides that the Deferred Discount is
paid directly to the account or accounts directed by the Representative on behalf of the Underwriters prior to any transfer of
the funds held in the Trust Account to the Company or any other person;


 


(g)
Instruct the Trustee to make only those distributions that are permitted under this Agreement, and refrain from instructing the
Trustee to make any distributions that are not permitted under this Agreement; and


 


(h)
Within four (4) business days after the Underwriters exercise the over-allotment option (or any unexercised portion thereof)
or such over-allotment expires, provide the Trustee with a notice in writing of the total amount of the Deferred Discount, which
shall in no event be less than $4,375,000.

any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement or any of the terms hereof, unless

Letter, this Agreement shall terminate except with respect to Section 2(b).


 


6. Miscellaneous.

The Company and the Trustee each acknowledge that the Trustee will follow the security procedures set forth below 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 modified, amended or deleted without the affirmative vote of sixty five percent (65%) of the then issued and 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 Public Shareholder who has otherwise indicated his election to redeem his 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.
Except for any liability arising out of the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, the Trustee may rely
conclusively on the certification from the inspector or elections referenced above and shall be relieved of all liability to any
party for executing the proposed amendment in reliance thereon.

Re: Trust
Account No.              Termination Letter


 


Ladies
and Gentlemen:


 


Pursuant
to Section 1(i) of the Investment Management Trust Agreement between Malacca Straits Acquisition Company Limited (the
“Company”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”),
dated as of ____,2020 (the “Trust Agreement”), this is to advise you that the Company has entered into
an agreement with                     
(the “Target Business”) to consummate a business combination with Target Business (the “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 (the “Consummation Date”). Capitalized
terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Trust Agreement.


 


In
accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, we hereby authorize you to commence to liquidate all of the assets of the Trust
Account, and to transfer the proceeds to a segregated account held by you on behalf of the Beneficiaries to the effect that, on
the Consummation Date, all of the 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 (including as directed to it by the Representative on behalf of
the Underwriters (with respect to the Deferred Discount)). It is acknowledged and agreed that while the funds are on deposit
in the trust operating account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. 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, or will be consummated concurrently with your transfer of funds to the accounts as directed by the Company
(the “Notification”) and (ii) the Company shall deliver to you (a) a certificate of the Chief Executive
Officer, which verifies that the Business Combination has been approved by a vote of the Company’s shareholders, if a vote
is held and (b) a joint written instruction signed by the Company and the Representative with respect to the transfer of
the funds held in the Trust Account, including payment of amounts owed to public shareholders who have properly exercised their
redemption rights and payment of the Deferred Discount to the Representative from the Trust Account (the “Instruction
Letter”). You are hereby directed and authorized to transfer the funds held in the Trust Account immediately
upon your receipt of the Notification 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 in writing of the same and the Company shall direct you as to whether such funds should remain in the
Trust Account and be distributed after the Consummation Date to the Company. Upon the distribution of all the funds, net
of any payments necessary for reasonable unreimbursed expenses related to liquidating the Trust Account, your obligations under
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 Section 1(c) of
the Trust Agreement on the business day immediately following the Consummation Date as set forth in the notice as soon thereafter
as possible.
