pursuant to, the terms hereof, the Warrant Agreement and the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and upon registration in the Company’s register of members, the Purchaser will have good title to the Private Placement Warrants purchased by

Section 3. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. As a material inducement to the Company to enter
into this Agreement and issue and sell the Private Placement Warrants to the Purchaser, the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company (which representations and warranties shall survive each Closing Date) that: 

A. Organization and Requisite Authority. The Purchaser possesses all requisite power and authority necessary to carry out the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 B. No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby do not violate, conflict with or constitute a default under (i) the Purchaser’s organizational documents, (ii) any agreement or instrument to which the Purchaser is
a party or (iii) any law, statute, rule or regulation to which the Purchaser is subject, or any agreement, order, judgment or decree to which the Purchaser is subject, except as would not be material to the Purchaser’s performance of its
obligations hereunder. 
 C. Investment Representations. 

(i) The Purchaser is acquiring its Private Placement Warrants and, upon exercise of such Private Placement Warrants, the Shares issuable upon
such exercise (collectively, the “Securities”), for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, any public sale or distribution thereof. 

(ii) The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D under the
Securities Act. 

  
 - 4 - 

 (iii) The Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and will be sold to it
in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the
representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire such Securities. 

(iv) The Purchaser did not decide to enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within the
meaning of Rule 502(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. 
 (v) The Purchaser has been furnished with all materials relating to the
business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by the Purchaser. The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the executive officers
and directors of the Company. The Purchaser understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk and it has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment
decision with respect to the acquisition of the Securities. 
 (vi) The Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency
or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities by the Purchaser nor have such authorities passed upon or
endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities. 
 (vii) The Purchaser understands that: (a) the Securities have not been and are
not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (1) subsequently registered thereunder or (2) sold in reliance on an exemption therefrom; and
(b) except as specifically set forth in the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement, neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to
comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. In this regard, the Purchaser understands that the SEC has taken the position that promoters or affiliates of a blank check company and its transferees, both before and after an
initial Business Combination, are deemed to be “underwriters” under the Securities Act when reselling the securities of a blank check company. Based on that position, Rule 144 adopted pursuant to the Securities Act would not
be available for resale transactions of the Securities despite technical compliance with the requirements of such Rule, and the Securities can be resold only through a registered offering or in reliance upon another exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act. While the Purchaser understands that Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been
at any time previously a shell company, the Purchaser understands that Rule 144 includes an exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met: (i) the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a
shell company; (ii) the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); (iii) the issuer of the
securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding twelve (12) months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and (iv) at least one (1) year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

  
 - 5 - 

 (viii) The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters,
knowledge of the high degree of risk associated with investments in the securities of companies in the development stage such as the Company, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and is able to bear the
economic risk of an investment in the Securities in the amount contemplated hereunder for an indefinite period of time. 
 (ix) The Purchaser
understands that the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, if transferred pursuant to Section 6(B) prior to the end of the lock-up period, shall bear the following legend and
appropriate “stop transfer restrictions”: 
 “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED
STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS WHICH, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL, IS AVAILABLE. 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO LOCKUP PROVISIONS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE
DISPOSED OF DURING THE TERM OF THE LOCKUP.” 
 (x) The Purchaser understands that the Private Placement Warrants shall bear the legend
substantially in the form set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company will grant certain registration rights to the Purchaser relating to
the Private Placement Warrants and the Shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants. 
 Section 2. Representations
and Warranties of the Company. As a material inducement to the Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and purchase the Private Placement Warrants, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser (which representations and warranties
shall survive each Closing Date) that: 
 A. Incorporation and Corporate Power. The Company is an exempted company duly incorporated,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands and is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition, operating results or assets of the Company. The Company possesses all requisite corporate power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Warrant Agreement. 

B. Authorization; No Breach. 

(i) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Private Placement Warrants have been duly authorized by the Company as of
the Closing Dates. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general
applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or law). Upon issuance in accordance with, and payment pursuant to, the terms of the Warrant Agreement
and this Agreement, the Private Placement Warrants will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms as of the Closing Dates. 

(ii) The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the Private Placement Warrants, the issuance and sale of the Private
Placement Warrants, the issuance of the Shares upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and the fulfillment of, and compliance with, the respective terms hereof and thereof by the Company, do not and will not as of each Closing Date
(a) conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, (b) constitute a default under, (c) result in the creation of any lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance upon the Company’s shares or
assets under, (d) result in a violation of, or (e) require any authorization, consent, approval, exemption or other action by or notice or declaration to, or filing with, any court or administrative or governmental body or agency pursuant
to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company (in effect on the date hereof or as may be amended prior to completion of the contemplated Public Offering) (the “Memorandum and Articles of
Association”), or any material law, statute, rule or regulation to which the Company is subject, or any agreement, order, judgment or decree to which the Company is subject, except for any filings required after the date hereof under
federal or state securities laws. 

  
 - 3 - 

 C. Title to Securities. Upon issuance in accordance with, and payment pursuant to,
the terms hereof and the Warrant Agreement, and upon registration in the Company’s register of members, the Private Placement Warrants and the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will be duly and validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable. On the date of issuance of the Private Placement Warrants, the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants shall have been reserved for issuance. Upon issuance in accordance with, and payment
pursuant to, the terms hereof, the Warrant Agreement and the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and upon registration in the Company’s register of members, the Purchaser will have good title to the Private Placement Warrants purchased by
it and the Shares issuable upon exercise of such Private Placement Warrants, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances of any kind, other than (i) transfer restrictions hereunder and under the other agreements contemplated hereby,
(ii) transfer restrictions under federal and state securities laws, and (iii) liens, claims or encumbrances imposed due to the actions of the Purchaser. 

D. Governmental Consents. No permit, consent, approval or authorization of, or declaration to or filing with, any governmental authority
is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement or the consummation by the Company of any other transactions contemplated hereby. 

E. Additional Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 2 of that
certain Underwriting Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between the Company and the Purchaser, as representative of the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriting Agreement”), are hereby incorporated herein.

 Section 3. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. As a material inducement to the Company to enter
into this Agreement and issue and sell the Private Placement Warrants to the Purchaser, the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company (which representations and warranties shall survive each Closing Date) that: 

A. Organization and Requisite Authority. The Purchaser possesses all requisite power and authority necessary to carry out the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 B. No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby do not violate, conflict with or constitute a default under (i) the Purchaser’s organizational documents, (ii) any agreement or instrument to which the Purchaser is
a party or (iii) any law, statute, rule or regulation to which the Purchaser is subject, or any agreement, order, judgment or decree to which the Purchaser is subject, except as would not be material to the Purchaser’s performance of its
obligations hereunder. 
 C. Investment Representations. 

(i) The Purchaser is acquiring its Private Placement Warrants and, upon exercise of such Private Placement Warrants, the Shares issuable upon
such exercise (collectively, the “Securities”), for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, any public sale or distribution thereof. 

  
 - 4 - 

 (ii) The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is
defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. 
 (iii) The Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered
and will be sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance
with, the representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire such Securities. 

(iv) The Purchaser did not decide to enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within the
meaning of Rule 502(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. 
 (v) The Purchaser has been furnished with all materials relating to the
business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by the Purchaser. The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the executive officers
and directors of the Company. The Purchaser understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk and it has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment
decision with respect to the acquisition of the Securities. 
 (vi) The Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency
or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities by the Purchaser nor have such authorities passed upon or
endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities. 
 (vii) The Purchaser understands that: (a) the Securities have not been and are
not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (1) subsequently registered thereunder or (2) sold in reliance on an exemption therefrom; and
(b) except as specifically set forth in the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement, neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to
comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. In this regard, the Purchaser understands that the SEC has taken the position that promoters or affiliates of a blank check company and its transferees, both before and after an
initial Business Combination, are deemed to be “underwriters” under the Securities Act when reselling the securities of a blank check company. Based on that position, Rule 144 adopted pursuant to the Securities Act would not
be available for resale transactions of the Securities despite technical compliance with the requirements of such Rule, and the Securities can be resold only through a registered offering or in reliance upon another exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act. While the Purchaser understands that Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or

  
 - 5 - 

 
issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company, the Purchaser understands that Rule 144 includes an exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met: (i) the
issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company; (ii) the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”); (iii) the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding twelve (12) months (or such shorter period that
the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and (iv) at least one (1) year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type
information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company. 
 (viii) The Purchaser has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters, knowledge of the high degree of risk associated with investments in the securities of companies in the development stage such as the Company, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an
investment in the Securities and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities in the amount contemplated hereunder for an indefinite period of time. 

(ix) The Purchaser understands that the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, if transferred pursuant to
Section 6(A) prior to the end of the lock-up period, shall bear the following legend and appropriate “stop transfer restrictions”: 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE
SECURITIES LAWS, AND NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS WHICH, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL, IS AVAILABLE. 
 THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE
ARE SUBJECT TO LOCKUP PROVISIONS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF DURING THE TERM OF THE LOCKUP.” 

(x) The Purchaser understands that the Private Placement Warrants shall bear the legend substantially in the form set forth in the Warrant
Agreement. 
 Section 4. Conditions of the Purchaser’s Obligations. The obligations of the Purchaser to
purchase and pay for the Private Placement Warrants are subject to the fulfillment, on or before each Closing Date, of each of the following conditions:

transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Warrant Agreement.

 E. No Injunction. No litigation, statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree,
ruling or injunction shall have been enacted, entered, promulgated or endorsed by or in any court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction or any self-regulatory organization having authority over the matters contemplated hereby, which
prohibits the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Warrant Agreement. 
 F. Warrant Agreement and
Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement. The Company shall have entered into the Warrant Agreement and the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement. 

Section 6. Terms of the Private Placement Warrants. 

A. Lock-Up Period. The Purchaser agrees that it will not Transfer any Private Placement Warrants
(or ordinary shares of the Company issued or issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination; provided, however, that Transfers of such securities are permitted
(a) to the Company’s or Purchaser’s officers or directors, any affiliates or family members of any of the Company’s or Purchaser’s officers or directors, any members or partners of the Purchaser or any of their respective
affiliates or employees of such affiliates; (b) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of 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 laws of descent and distribution upon death of such individual; (d) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic
relations order; (e) by private sales or transfers made in connection with any forward purchase agreement or similar arrangement or in connection with the consummation of an initial Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at
which the shares or warrants were originally purchased; (f) by virtue of the Purchaser’s organizational documents upon liquidation or dissolution of the Purchaser; (g) to the Company for no value for cancellation in connection with
the consummation of an initial Business Combination; (h) in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to the completion of an initial Business Combination; or (i) in the event of the Company’s completion of a
liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of its public shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property subsequent to its completion of
an initial Business Combination; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) through (f), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement with the Company agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions herein and the
other restrictions contained in this Agreement and by the same agreements entered into by the Purchaser with respect to such securities. 

B. FINRA Requirements. Notwithstanding subsection A above, the Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that the Private Placement
Warrants and the underlying ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will be deemed compensation by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and will therefore, pursuant to Rule
5110(e)(1) of the FINRA Manual, be subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the commencement of sales of the Public Offering. The Private Placement Warrants and underlying ordinary
shares may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of such securities by any person during the
foregoing 180-day period except as permitted in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2)(B). Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants may not be exercised more than five (5) years after the effective
date of the Registration Statement and the related registration rights will comply with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8). 

  
 - 8 - 

 Section 7. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any
time after March 31, 2021 upon the election by either the Company or the Purchaser upon written notice to the other party if the closing of the Public Offering does not occur prior to such date. 

Section 8. Miscellaneous. 

A. Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or
on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors of the parties hereto whether so expressed or not. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the parties may not assign
this Agreement, other than assignments by the Purchaser to its affiliates (including, without limitation, one or more of its members). Any transfer or assignment made other than as provided in this Section 8(A) shall be null and void. 

B. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of
this Agreement. 
 C. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, none of which needs to
contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signatures to this Agreement transmitted via facsimile or e-mail in a
“pdf” format data file shall be valid and effective to bind the party so signing with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “pdf” signature page were an original thereof. 

D. Descriptive Headings; Interpretation. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not
constitute a substantive part of this Agreement. The use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than by limitation. 

E. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of Delaware and
for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. All actions arising out
of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Delaware federal court; provided, however, that if such federal court does not have jurisdiction over such action, such action shall be heard and
determined exclusively in any Delaware state court. The parties hereby irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the
above-named courts, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the 

  
 - 9 - 

 
action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. 
 F. Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except by a written
instrument executed by the parties hereto. 
 G. Waiver of Claims Against Trust Account. The Purchaser agrees not to seek recourse
against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever in connection with its purchase of the Warrants or any claim that may arise now or in the future, provided that nothing herein shall preclude the Purchaser from making any claim or seeking recourse
against the Company’s funds held outside of the Trust Account or seeking to enforce the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, dated as of [●], 2020, by and between the Purchaser and the Company.
