PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

THIS PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS PURCHASE
AGREEMENT, dated as of February 5, 2021 (as it may from time to time be amended, this “Agreement”),
is entered into by and between HH&L Acquisition Co., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”),
and HH&L Investment Co., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Purchaser”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company intends to consummate
an initial public offering of the Company’s units (the “Public Offering”), each unit consisting
of one Class A Ordinary Share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (an “Ordinary Share”),
and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Ordinary Share at an exercise price
of $11.50 per Ordinary Share. The Purchaser has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 9,200,000 warrants (or 10,280,000 in the aggregate
if the over-allotment option in connection with the Public Offering is exercised in full) (the “Private Placement Warrants”),
each Private Placement Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Share.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the
mutual promises contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby, intending legally to be bound, agree as follows:

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.            Authorization;
No Breach.

 

(i)            This
Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, 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).

 

(ii)           The
execution and delivery by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the fulfillment of and compliance with the terms hereof by the Purchaser
does not and shall not as of each Closing Date conflict with or result in a breach by the Purchaser of the terms, conditions or
provisions of any agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which the Purchaser is subject.

 

C.            Investment
Representations.

 

(i)            The
Purchaser is acquiring the Private Placement Warrants and, upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, the Shares issuable
upon such exercise (collectively, the “Securities”), for the Purchaser’s 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, and the
Purchaser has not experienced a disqualifying event as enumerated pursuant to Rule 506(d) 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) under the Securities Act.

 

    3

     

    

 

(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 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. 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 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 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, knows 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. The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current financial
needs and contingencies and will have no current or anticipated future needs for liquidity which would be jeopardized by the investment
in the Securities. The Purchaser can afford a complete loss of its investment in the Securities.

 

Section 4. Conditions of the Purchaser’s

on or before each Closing Date, of each of the following conditions:

Re: Services Agreement

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter agreement
(this “Agreement”) by and between HH&L Acquisition Co. (the “Company”) and HH&L Investment
Co. (the “Sponsor”), dated as of the date hereof, will confirm our agreement that, commencing on the date the
securities of the Company are first listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Listing Date”), pursuant to
a Registration Statement on Form S-1 and prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Registration
Statement”) and continuing until the earlier of the consummation by the Company of an initial business combination or
the Company’s liquidation (in each case as described in the Registration Statement) (such earlier date hereinafter referred
to as the “Termination Date”):

 

1.            The
Sponsor shall make available, or cause to be made available, to the Company, at Suite 3508, One Exchange Square, 8 Connaught
Place, Central, Hong Kong (or any successor location), office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative services,
as may be reasonably required by the Company. In exchange therefor, the Company shall pay the Sponsor $15,000 per month on the
Listing Date and continuing monthly thereafter until the Termination Date;

 

2.            The
Sponsor hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title, interest, causes of action and claims of any kind as a result of, or
arising out of, this Agreement (each, a “Claim”) in or to, and any and all right to seek payment of any amounts
due to it out of, the trust account established for the benefit of the public shareholders of the Company and into which substantially
all of the proceeds of the Company’s initial public offering will be deposited (the “Trust Account”),
and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim it may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement, which Claim
would reduce, encumber or otherwise adversely affect the Trust Account or any monies or other assets in the Trust Account, and
further agrees not to seek recourse, reimbursement, payment or satisfaction of any Claim against the Trust Account or any monies
or other assets in the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever.

 

This Agreement constitutes
the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of its subject matter and supersedes all prior understandings,
agreements, or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject
matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

This Agreement may
not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto.

 

No party hereto may
assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the
other party. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer
or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee.

 

     

     

    

 

This Agreement shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York for agreements made and to be wholly performed
within such state, without regards to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.
