    2

     

    

 

4.                 
Failure to Consummate a Business Combination; Trust Account Waiver.

 

(a)              
The Sponsor and each Insider hereby agree, with respect to itself, herself or himself, that in the event that the
Company fails to consummate its initial Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Charter, the Sponsor and each
Insider shall take all reasonable steps to cause the Company to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up;
(ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the Public Shares, at a per-share
price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds
held in the Trust Account (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and net of taxes payable), divided by the
number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders
(including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following
such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject
in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors

Shares in connection with an initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete
an initial Business Combination within the required time period set forth in the Charter unless the Company provides its Public
Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable
in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the
Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares.

 

(b)              
The Sponsor and each Insider, with respect to itself, herself or himself, acknowledges that it, she or he has no
right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or any other asset of the Company as

of the Insiders hereby further waive, with respect to any Public Shares and Founder Shares held by it, her or him, as applicable,
any redemption rights it, she or he may have in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, including, without
limitation, any such rights available in the context of a shareholder vote to approve such Business Combination or a shareholder
vote to approve an amendment to the Charter to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide for
the redemption of the Public Shares in connection with an initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if
the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Charter or in the context
of a tender offer made by the Company to purchase Public Shares (although the Sponsor and the Insiders shall be entitled to redemption
and liquidation rights with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within
the required time period set forth in the Charter).

following the completion of an initial Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange
or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary
Shares for cash, securities or other property (the “Founder Shares Lock-up Period”). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if, subsequent to a Business Combination, the closing price of the Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per
share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, share consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and

officers or directors, any affiliate or family member of any of the Company’s officers or directors, any members of the Sponsor

immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of
such person or to a charitable organization; (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon
death of the 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 a Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the shares or warrants were originally purchased; (f) by
virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware or the Sponsor’s limited liability company agreement upon dissolution of the

shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the 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 agreeing to be bound by these transfer restrictions.

    4

     

    

 

6.                  Remedies.
The Sponsor and each of the Insiders hereby agree and acknowledge that (i) each of the Underwriters and the Company would be
irreparably injured in the event of a breach by the Sponsor or such Insider of its, her or his obligations, as applicable
under paragraphs 3, 4, 5, 7, 10 and 11, (ii) monetary damages may not be an
adequate remedy for such breach and (iii) the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to any
other remedy that such party may have in law or in equity, in the event of such breach.

 

7.                 
Payments by the Company. Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, neither the Sponsor nor any affiliate of the
Sponsor nor any director or officer of the Company nor any affiliate of the officers shall receive from the Company any finder’s
fee, reimbursement, consulting fee, monies in respect of any payment of a loan or other compensation prior to, or in connection
with any services rendered in order to effectuate the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination (regardless
of the type of transaction that it is).

 

8.                 
Director and Officer Liability Insurance. The Company will maintain an insurance policy or policies providing

Account upon the failure of the Company to consummate its initial Business Combination within the time period set forth in
the Charter, the Sponsor (the “Indemnitor”) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company
against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all legal
or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, whether pending or
threatened) to which the Company may become subject as a result of any claim by (i) any third party for services rendered or
products sold to the Company or (ii) any prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter
of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement (a
 “Target”); provided, however, that such indemnification of the Company by the
Indemnitor (x) shall apply only to the extent necessary to ensure that such claims by a third party for services rendered or
products sold to the Company or a Target do not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i)
$10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the
liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets,
less taxes payable, (y) shall not apply to any claims by a third party or Target who executed a waiver of any and all rights
to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) and (z) shall not apply to any claims

Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Indemnitor shall have the right to defend against any such claim with counsel of its

immediately prior to the consummation of the Public Offering in such amount as to maintain the number of Founder Shares at
20% of the sum of the total number of Ordinary Shares and Founder Shares outstanding at such time plus the number of Ordinary
Shares to be sold pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement.
