                                         shares transferred, assigned, sold or forfeited in connection with our initial business

                                         to the date of our initial business combination, GEPT will receive a number of Class

                                         into Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the terms thereof and after giving effect to

                                         in the open market);

 

		●	“Public
                                         Shareholders” are to the holders of our Public Shares, including our Sponsor and

                                         holders of the issued shares entitled to vote on such matter;

 

		●	“Sponsor”
                                         are to Authentic Equity Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company; and

 

		●	“we,”
                                         “us,” “our,” “company” or “our company”
                                         are to Authentic Equity Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company.

 

We
are a Cayman Islands exempted company and our affairs are governed by our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association,
the Companies Law and the common law of the Cayman Islands. Pursuant to our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association,
which was adopted prior to the consummation of of our initial public offering, we are authorized to issue 300,000,000 Class A
ordinary shares and 30,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, as well as 1,000,000 preference shares, $0.0001 par value each. The following
description summarizes the material terms of our shares as set out more particularly in our Amended and Restated Memorandum and
Articles of Association. Because it is only a summary, it may not contain all the information that is important to you.

 

    2

     

    

 

Units

 

Each
unit has an offering price of $10.00 and consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole
warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment
as described in our final prospectus related to our initial public offering. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder
may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of the company’s Class A ordinary shares. This means only a whole warrant
may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder.

 

Our units, Class A ordinary shares and warrants are each traded
on the Nasdaq. Our units commenced public trading on January 15, 2021 under the symbol “AEACU.” Our Class A ordinary
shares and warrants began separate trading on March 8, 2021, under the symbols “AEAC” and “AEACW,” respectively.

 

Holders
will have the option to continue to hold units or separate their units into the component securities. Holders will need to have
their brokers contact our transfer agent in order to separate the units into Class A ordinary shares and warrants. No fractional
warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless you purchase at least
two units, you will not be able to receive or trade a whole warrant.

 

We
filed a Current Report on Form 8-K which includes this audited balance sheet and a second Current Report on Form 8-K was filed
to provide updated financial information to reflect the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option.

 

Additionally,
the units will automatically separate into their component parts and will not be traded after completion of our initial business
combination.

 

Ordinary
Shares

 

As
of the date of this Report, there were 7,000,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding, 6,900,000 of which were held
of record by our Sponsor and 100,000 of which were held of record by our independent directors, so that such holders own 20% of
our issued and outstanding shares.

 

Ordinary
shareholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Except as described
below, holders of Class A ordinary shares and holders of Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters
submitted to a vote of our shareholders except as required by law. Unless specified in our Amended and Restated Memorandum and
Articles of Association, or as required by applicable provisions of the Companies Law or applicable stock exchange rules, the
affirmative vote of a simple majority of our Ordinary Shares that are voted is required to approve any such matter voted on by
our shareholders. Approval of certain actions will require a Special Resolution under Cayman Islands law, and pursuant to our
Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association; such actions include amending our Amended and Restated Memorandum
and Articles of Association and approving a statutory merger or consolidation with another company. Our board of directors is
divided into three classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of three years with only one class of directors being
elected in each year. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders
of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Our shareholders are entitled
to receive ratable dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor. Prior
to our initial business combination, only holders of our Founder Shares will have the right to vote on the election of directors.
Holders of our Public Shares will not be entitled to vote on the election of directors during such time; provided, however, that
if all of the Founder Shares are converted prior to the date of our initial business combination, the holders of our Class A ordinary
shares will have the right to vote on the election of directors. In addition, prior to the completion of an initial business combination,
holders of a simple majority of our Founder Shares may remove a member of the board of directors for any reason. The provisions
of our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association governing the appointment or removal of directors prior to
our initial business combination may only be amended by a Special Resolution passed by not less than 90% of our Ordinary Shares
who attend and vote at our shareholder meeting.

 

    3

     

    

 

Because
our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association authorize the issuance of up to 300,000,000 Class A ordinary shares,
if we were to enter into a business combination, we may (depending on the terms of such a business combination) be required to
increase the number of Class A ordinary shares which we will be authorized to issue at the same time as our shareholders vote
on the business combination to the extent we seek shareholder approval in connection with our initial business combination.

 

Our
board of directors is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except
for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting of shareholders) serving a three-year term. In accordance with
the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq, we are not required to hold an annual meeting until one year after our first
fiscal year end following our listing on Nasdaq. There is no requirement under the Companies Law for us to hold annual or general
meetings to elect directors. We may not hold an annual meeting of shareholders to elect new directors prior to the consummation
of our initial business combination. Prior to the completion of an initial business combination, any vacancy on the board of directors
may be filled by a nominee chosen by holders of a majority of our Founder Shares. In addition, prior to the completion of an initial
business combination, holders of a simple majority of our Founder Shares may remove a member of the board of directors for any
reason.

 

We
will provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion
of our initial business combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the
trust account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, including interest
earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our income taxes, if any, divided by the
number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in the trust account is
initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share. The per share amount we will distribute to investors who properly redeem
their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions we will pay to the underwriters. The redemption rights
will include the requirement that a beneficial owner must identify itself in order to valid redeem its shares. Our Sponsor and
each member of our Management Team have entered into an agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption
rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with (i) the completion of our initial
business combination and (ii) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of
Association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares
the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares
if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this our initial public offering or
(B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares. Unlike many blank check
companies that hold shareholder votes and conduct proxy solicitations in conjunction with their initial business combinations
and provide for related redemptions of Public Shares for cash upon completion of such initial business combinations even when
a vote is not required by law, if a shareholder vote is not required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements,
if a shareholder vote is not required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and we do not decide to hold a
shareholder vote for business or other reasons, we will, pursuant to our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association,
conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC, and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing
our initial business combination. Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association require these tender offer documents
to contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial business combination and the redemption rights
as is required under the SEC’s proxy rules. If, however, a shareholder approval of the transaction is required by applicable
law or stock exchange listing requirements, or we decide to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, we will,
like many blank check companies, offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and
not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If we seek shareholder approval, we will complete our initial business combination only
if a majority of the Ordinary Shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, voted at a shareholder meeting
are voted in favor of the business combination. However, the participation of our Sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or their
affiliates in privately-negotiated transactions (as described in the final prospectus), if any, could result in the approval of
our initial business combination even if a majority of our Public Shareholders vote, or indicate their intention to vote, against
such initial business combination. For purposes of seeking approval of the majority of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares,
non-votes will have no effect on the approval of our initial business combination once a quorum is obtained. Our Amended and Restated
Memorandum and Articles of Association require that at least five days’ notice will be given of any shareholder meeting.

If
we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our
initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of
Association provide that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom
such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be
restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to Excess Shares, without our prior consent. However, we would not be
restricting our shareholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against our initial
business combination. Our shareholders’ inability to redeem the Excess Shares will reduce their influence over our
ability to complete our initial business combination, and such shareholders could suffer a material loss in their investment
if they sell such Excess Shares on the open market. Additionally, such shareholders will not receive redemption distributions
with respect to the Excess Shares if we complete our initial business combination. And, as a result, such shareholders will
continue to hold that number of shares exceeding 15% and, in order to dispose such shares would be required to sell their
shares in open market transactions, potentially at a loss.

 

If
we seek shareholder approval, we will complete our initial business combination only if a majority of the Ordinary Shares,
represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, voted at a shareholder meeting are voted in favor of the
business combination. In such case, our Sponsor and each member of our Management Team have agreed to vote their Founder
Shares and Public Shares in favor of our initial business combination. As a result, in addition to our initial
shareholders’ Founder Shares, we would need 8,000,001, or 34.8% (assuming all issued and outstanding shares are voted
and the over-allotment option is not exercised), of the 23,000,000 Public Shares sold in this our initial public offering to
be voted in favor of an initial business combination in order to have our initial business combination approved.
Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or
against the proposed transaction or vote at all.

 

Pursuant
to our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, if we have not consummated an initial business combination
within 24 months from the closing of this initial public offering, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of
winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 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 and not previously released to us to pay our income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000
of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the 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 our remaining shareholders
and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to our obligations under Cayman
Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Our Sponsor and each member of our
Management Team have entered into an agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating
distributions from the trust account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if we fail to consummate an initial business
combination within 24 months from the closing of initial public offering (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions
from the trust account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if we fail to complete our initial business combination within
the prescribed time frame). Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association will provide that, if a resolution
of the company’s shareholders is passed pursuant to the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands to commence the voluntary liquidation
of the company, we will follow the foregoing procedures with respect to the liquidation of the trust account as promptly as reasonably
possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, subject to applicable Cayman Islands law.

 

In
the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company after a business combination, our shareholders are entitled
to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is
made for each class of shares, if any, having preference over the Ordinary Shares. Our shareholders have no preemptive or other
subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the Ordinary Shares, except that we will provide our Public
Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares for cash at a per share price 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 us to pay our income taxes, if any, divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, upon the completion of our
initial business combination, subject to the limitations described herein.

Founder
Shares

 

The
Founder Shares are designated as Class B ordinary shares and, except as described below, are identical to the Class A ordinary
shares included in the units being sold in our initial public offering and holders of Founder Shares have the same shareholder
rights as Public Shareholders, except that: (a) prior to our initial business combination, only holders of the Founder Shares
have the right to vote on the election of directors and holders of a majority of our Founder Shares may remove a member of the
board of directors for any reason; (b) the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail
below; (c) our Sponsor and each member of our Management Team have entered into an agreement with us, pursuant to which they have
agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares (ii) to waive their redemption rights with respect
to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to our Amended and Restated
Memorandum and Articles of Association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our
Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem
100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial
public offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares; and
(iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if we
fail to consummate an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering (although
they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if we fail
to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame); (d) the Founder Shares will automatically convert
into our Class A ordinary shares at the time of our initial business combination or earlier at the option of the holders thereof
as described herein; and (e) the Founder Shares are entitled to registration rights. If we seek shareholder approval, we will
complete our initial business combination only if a majority of the Ordinary Shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled
to vote thereon, voted at a shareholder meeting are voted in favor of the business combination. In such case, our Sponsor and
each member of our Management Team have agreed to vote their Founder Shares and Public Shares in favor of our initial business
combination.

 

The
Founder Shares are designated as Class B ordinary shares and will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares. At the time
of our initial business combination or earlier at the option of the holders thereof at a ratio such that the number of Class A
ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of
the sum of (i) the total number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding upon completion of our initial public offering (less
the total number of Class B ordinary shares forfeited (if any) by the Sponsor to the extent less than 5,000,000 units are purchased
under the Forward Purchase Agreement) and the number of Class A ordinary shares that may be sold pursuant to the Forward Purchase
Agreement, if any, plus (ii) the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or
exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to
the consummation of the initial business combination, excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable
for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, deemed issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial business
combination and any Private Placement Warrants issued to our Sponsor, its affiliates or any member of our Management Team upon
conversion of working capital loans and any Forward Purchase Warrants. In no event will the Class B ordinary shares convert into
Class A ordinary shares at a rate of less than one-to-one.

 

Except
as described herein, our Sponsor and our directors and executive officers have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their
Founder Shares until earliest of (A) one year after the completion of our initial business combination and (B) subsequent to our
initial business combination, (x) if the closing price of our Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted
for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading
day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination, or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation,
merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of our Public Shareholders having the right to exchange
their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property. We refer to such transfer restrictions throughout the final prospectus
as the lock-up. Any permitted transferees would be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of our Sponsor and our
directors and executive officers with respect to any Founder Shares.

 

    6

     

    

 

Prior
to our initial business combination, only holders of our Founder Shares will have the right to vote on the election of directors.
Holders of our Public Shares will not be entitled to vote on the election of directors during such time; provided, however, that
if all of the Founder Shares are converted prior to the date of our initial business combination, the holders of our Class A ordinary
shares will have the right to vote on the election of directors. In addition, prior to the completion of an initial business combination,
holders of a simple majority of our Founder Shares may remove a member of the board of directors for any reason. These provisions
of our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association may only be amended by a Special Resolution passed by not less
than 90% of our Ordinary Shares who attend and vote at our shareholder meeting. With respect to any other matter submitted to
a vote of our shareholders, including any vote in connection with our initial business combination, except as required by law,
holders of our Founder Shares and holders of our Public Shares will vote together as a single class, with each share entitling
the holder to one vote.

 

Register
of Members

 

Under
Cayman Islands law, we must keep a register of members and there will be entered therein:

 

		●	the
                                         names and addresses of the members, a statement of the shares held by each member, and
                                         of the amount paid or agreed to be considered as paid, on the shares of each member and
                                         the voting rights of shares (and whether such voting rights are conditional);

 

		●	the
                                         date on which the name of any person was entered on the register as a member; and

 

		●	the
                                         date on which any person ceased to be a member.

 

Under
Cayman Islands law, the register of members of our company is prima facie evidence of the matters set out therein (i.e., the register
of members will raise a presumption of fact on the matters referred to above unless rebutted) and a member registered in the register
of members will be deemed as a matter of Cayman Islands law to have legal title to the shares as set against its name in the register
of members. Upon the closing of our initial public offering, the register of members was immediately updated to reflect the issue
of shares by us. The shareholders recorded in the register of members will be deemed to have legal title to the shares set against
their name. However, there are certain limited circumstances where an application may be made to a Cayman Islands court for a
determination on whether the register of members reflects the correct legal position. Further, the Cayman Islands court has the
power to order that the register of members maintained by a company should be rectified where it considers that the register of
members does not reflect the correct legal position. If an application for an order for rectification of the register of members
were made in respect of our Ordinary Shares, then the validity of such shares may be subject to re-examination by a Cayman Islands
court.

 

Preference
Shares

 

Our
Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association authorize 1,000,000 preference shares and provide that preference
shares may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our board of directors are authorized to fix the voting rights,
if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications,
limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. Our board of directors is able to, without shareholder
approval, issue preference shares with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of
the holders of the Ordinary Shares and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of our board of directors to issue preference
shares without shareholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or the
removal of existing management. We have no preference shares issued and outstanding at the date hereof. Although we do not currently
intend to issue any preference shares, we cannot assure you that we will not do so in the future. No preference shares are being
issued or registered in our initial public offering.

Warrants

 

Public
Shareholders’ and Forward Purchase Warrants

 

Each
whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to
adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of one year from the closing of our initial public offering
and 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination, except as discussed in the immediately succeeding paragraph.
Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of Class A ordinary shares.
This means only a whole warrant may be exercised at a given time by a warrant holder. No fractional warrants will be issued upon
separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless you purchase at least two units, you will not
be able to receive or trade a whole warrant. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of our initial business
combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

 

We
will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation
to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A ordinary
shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations
described below with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable
and we will not be obligated to issue a Class A ordinary share upon exercise of a warrant unless the Class A ordinary share issuable
upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence
of the registered holder of the warrants. 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 will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant
may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration
statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full
purchase price for the unit solely for the Class A ordinary share underlying such unit.

 

A
holder of a warrant may notify us in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will 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 9.8% (or such other amount as
a holder may specify) of the Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

 

We
have agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than twenty business days after the closing of our initial business
combination, we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration,
under the Securities Act, of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and we will use our commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of our initial business combination,
and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares
until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement; provided that if our Class A ordinary shares
are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition
of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of public
warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities
Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but we will
use our commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption
is not available. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not
effective by the 60th day after the closing of the initial business combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there
is an effective registration statement and during any period when we will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement,
exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption,
but we will use our commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent
an exemption is not available. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number
of Class A ordinary shares equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class
A ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) less
the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value and (B) 0.365. The “fair market value” as used in
this paragraph shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Class A ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the
trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent.

 

Redemption
of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00.

 

    8

     

    

 

Once
the warrants become exercisable, we may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private
Placement Warrants):

 

		●	in
                                         whole and not in part;

 

		●	at
                                         a price of $0.01 per warrant;

 

		●	upon
                                         a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder;
                                         and

 

		●	if,
                                         and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00
                                         per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise
                                         or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading “— Warrants
                                         — Public Shareholders’ and Forward Purchase Warrants — Anti-Dilution
                                         Adjustments”) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three
                                         trading days before we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

 

We
will not redeem the warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance
of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those
Class A ordinary shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us,
we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all
applicable blue sky laws. Any exercise of the warrants by a warrant holder prior to redemption would not be on a cashless basis
and would require the exercising holder to pay the exercise price for each warrant being exercised.

 

We
have established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time
of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and we issue a notice
of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its warrant prior to the scheduled
redemption date. However, the price of the Class A ordinary shares may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted
for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading
“— Warrants — Public Shareholders’ and Forward Purchase Warrants — Anti-dilution Adjustments”)
as well as the $11.50 (for whole shares) warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

 

Redemption
of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00.

 

Commencing
90 days after the warrants become exercisable, we may redeem the outstanding warrants:

 

		●	in
                                         whole and not in part;

 

		●	at
                                         a price of $0.10 per warrant;

 

		●	upon
                                         a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption;

 

		●	if,
                                         and only if, the closing price of our Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00
                                         per Public Share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise
                                         or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading “— Warrants
                                         — Public Shareholders’ and Forward Purchase Warrants — Anti-Dilution
                                         Adjustments”) for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending three
                                         trading days before we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and•
                                         if the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares for any 20 trading days within a
                                         30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we send
                                         the notice of redemption to the warrant holders is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted
                                         for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price
                                         of a warrant as described under the heading “— Warrants — Public Shareholders’
                                         and Forward Purchase Warrants — Anti-dilution Adjustments”), the Private
                                         Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms
                                         as the outstanding public warrants, as described above;

 

provided
that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares
determined by reference to the table below, based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of our Class
A ordinary shares (as defined below) except as otherwise described below. In no event will the warrants be exercisable in connection
with this redemption feature for more than 0.365 Class A ordinary shares per warrant (subject to adjustment).

 

    9

     

    

 

This
redemption feature differs from the typical warrant redemption features used in other blank check offerings.

 

Beginning
on the date the notice of redemption is given until the warrants are redeemed or exercised, holders may elect to exercise their
warrants on a cashless basis. The numbers in the table below represent the number of Class A ordinary shares that a warrant holder
will receive upon such cashless exercise in connection with a redemption by us pursuant to this redemption feature, based on the
“fair market value” of our Class A ordinary shares on the corresponding redemption date (assuming holders elect to
exercise their warrants and such warrants are not redeemed for $0.10 per warrant), determined for these purposes based on volume
weighted average price of our Class A ordinary shares during the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice
of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants, and the number of months that the corresponding redemption date precedes the
expiration date of the warrants, each as set forth in the table below. We will provide our warrant holders with the final fair
market value no later than one business day after the 10-trading day period described above ends.

 

Pursuant
to the warrant agreement, references above to Class A ordinary shares shall include a security other than Class A ordinary shares
into which the Class A ordinary shares have been converted or exchanged for in the event we are not the surviving company in our
initial business combination. The numbers in the table below will not be adjusted when determining the number of Class A ordinary
shares to be issued upon exercise of the warrants if we are not the surviving entity following our initial business combination.

 

The
share prices set forth in the column headings of the table below will be adjusted as of any date on which the number of shares
issuable upon exercise of a warrant or the exercise price of a warrant is adjusted as set forth under the heading “—
Anti-dilution Adjustments” below. If the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a warrant is adjusted, the adjusted
share prices in the column headings will equal the share prices immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the number of shares deliverable upon exercise of a warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and
the denominator of which is the number of shares deliverable upon exercise of a warrant as so adjusted. The number of shares in
the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a
warrant. If the exercise price of a warrant is adjusted, (a) in the case of an adjustment pursuant to the fifth paragraph under
the heading “— Anti-dilution Adjustments” below, the adjusted share prices in the column headings will equal
the unadjusted share price multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued
Price as set forth under the heading “— Anti-dilution Adjustments” and the denominator of which is $10.00 and
(b) in the case of an adjustment pursuant to the second paragraph under the heading “— Anti-dilution Adjustments”
below, the adjusted share prices in the column headings will equal the unadjusted share price less the decrease in the exercise
price of a warrant pursuant to such exercise price adjustment.

The
exact fair market value and redemption date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case, if the fair market value is
between two values in the table or the redemption date is between two redemption dates in the table, the number of Class A ordinary
shares to be issued for each warrant exercised will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of shares
set forth for the higher and lower fair market values and the earlier and later redemption dates, as applicable, based on a 365
or 366-day year, as applicable. For example, if the volume weighted average price of our Class A ordinary shares during the 10
trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the warrants is $11.00
per share, and at such time there are 57 months until the expiration of the warrants, holders may choose to, in connection with
this redemption feature, exercise their warrants for 0.277 Class A ordinary shares for each whole warrant. For an example where
the exact fair market value and redemption date are not as set forth in the table above, if the volume weighted average price
of our Class A ordinary shares during the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is
sent to the holders of the warrants is $13.50 per share, and at such time there are 38 months until the expiration of the warrants,
holders may choose to, in connection with this redemption feature, exercise their warrants for 0.298 Class A ordinary shares for
each whole warrant. Finally, as reflected in the table above, if the warrants are out of the money and about to expire, they cannot
be exercised on a cashless basis in connection with a redemption by us pursuant to this redemption feature, since they will not
be exercisable for any Class A ordinary shares.

 

This
redemption feature is structured to allow for all of the outstanding warrants to be redeemed when the Class A ordinary shares
are trading at or above $10.00 per Public Share, which may be at a time when the trading price of our Class A ordinary shares
is below the exercise price of the warrants. We have established this redemption feature to provide us with the flexibility to
redeem the warrants without the warrants having to reach the $18.00 per share threshold set forth above under “— Redemption
of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00.” Holders choosing to exercise their warrants
in connection with a redemption pursuant to this feature will, in effect, receive a number of shares for their warrants based
on an option pricing model with a fixed volatility input as of the time of the final prospectus. This redemption right provides
us with an additional mechanism by which to redeem all of the outstanding warrants, and therefore have certainty as to our capital
structure as the warrants would no longer be outstanding and would have been exercised or redeemed. We will be required to pay
the applicable redemption price to warrant holders if we choose to exercise this redemption right and it will allow us to quickly
proceed with a redemption of the warrants if we determine it is in our best interest to do so. As such, we would redeem the warrants
in this manner when we believe it is in our best interest to update our capital structure to remove the warrants and pay the redemption
price to the warrant holders.

 

As
stated above, we can redeem the warrants when the Class A ordinary shares are trading at a price starting at $10.00, which is
below the exercise price of $11.50, because it will provide certainty with respect to our capital structure and cash position
while providing warrant holders with the opportunity to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis for the applicable number
of shares. If we choose to redeem the warrants when the Class A ordinary shares are trading at a price below the exercise price
of the warrants, this could result in the warrant holders receiving fewer Class A ordinary shares than they would have received
if they had chosen to wait to exercise their warrants for Class A ordinary shares if and when such Class A ordinary shares were
trading at a price higher than the exercise price of $11.50.

 

No
fractional Class A ordinary shares will be issued upon exercise. If, upon exercise, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional
interest in a share, we will round down to the nearest whole number of the number of Class A ordinary shares to be issued to the
holder. If, at the time of redemption, the warrants are exercisable for a security other than the Class A ordinary shares pursuant
to the warrant agreement (for instance, if we are not the surviving company in our initial business combination), the warrants
may be exercised for such security. At such time as the warrants become exercisable for a security other than the Class A ordinary
shares, the Company (or surviving company) will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register under the Securities Act the
security issuable upon the exercise of the warrants.

 

If
the number of outstanding Class A ordinary shares is increased by a capitalization or share dividend payable in Class A ordinary
shares, or by a split-up of Ordinary Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such capitalization or share
dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased
in proportion to such increase in the outstanding Ordinary Shares. A rights offering made to all or substantially all holders
of Ordinary Shares entitling holders to purchase Class A ordinary shares at a price less than the “historical fair market
value” (as defined below) will be deemed a share dividend of a number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the product of
(i) the number of Class A ordinary shares 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 Class A ordinary shares) and (ii) one minus the quotient
of (x) the price per Class A ordinary share paid in such rights offering and (y) the historical fair market value. For these purposes,
(i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A ordinary shares, in determining the price
payable for Class A ordinary shares, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any
additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) “historical fair market value” means the volume weighted
average price of Class A ordinary shares as reported during the 10 trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first
date on which the Class A ordinary shares trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the
right to receive such rights.

 

    11

     

    

 

In
addition, if we, at any time while the warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash,
securities or other assets to all or substantially all of the holders of the Class A ordinary shares on account of such Class
A ordinary shares (or other securities into which the warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above, (b) any cash
dividends or cash distributions which, when combined on a per share basis with all other cash dividends and cash distributions
paid on the Class A ordinary shares during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution
does not exceed $0.50 (as adjusted to appropriately reflect any other adjustments and excluding cash dividends or cash distributions
that resulted in an adjustment to the exercise price or to the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable on exercise of each
warrant) but only with respect to the amount of the aggregate cash dividends or cash distributions equal to or less than $0.50
per share, (c) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of Class A ordinary shares in connection with a proposed initial
business combination, (d) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of Class A ordinary shares in connection with a shareholder
vote to amend our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation
to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business
combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from
the closing of our initial public offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our
Class A ordinary shares, or (e) in connection with the redemption of our Public Shares upon our failure to complete our initial
business combination, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such
event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each Class A ordinary share
in respect of such event.

 

If
the number of outstanding Class A ordinary shares is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse share split or reclassification
of Class A ordinary shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse share
split, reclassification or similar event, the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable on exercise of each warrant will be decreased
in proportion to such decrease in outstanding Class A ordinary shares.

 

Whenever
the number of Class A ordinary shares purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant
exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x)
the numerator of which will be the number of Class A ordinary shares purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately
prior to such adjustment and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of Class A ordinary shares so purchasable immediately
thereafter.

 

In
addition, if (x) we issue additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection
with the closing of our initial business combination (excluding any Forward Purchase Securities) at an issue price or effective
issue price of less than $9.20 per ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith
by our board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to our Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account
any Founder Shares held by our Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”),
(y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon,
available for the funding of our initial business combination on the date of the consummation of our initial business combination
(net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of our Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day
period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which we consummate our initial business combination (such price, the “Market
Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal
to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described
above under “— Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00” and
“— Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00” will be adjusted
(to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 per share
redemption trigger price described above under “— Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share
equals or exceeds $10.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly
Issued Price.

 

    12

     

    

 

In
case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares (other than those described above or
that solely affects the par value of such Class A ordinary shares), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of us with or
into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which we are the continuing corporation and that does not result
in any reclassification or reorganization of our outstanding Class A ordinary shares), or in the case of any sale or conveyance
to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection
with which we are dissolved, the holders of the warrants will 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 Class A ordinary shares immediately theretofore
purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of Class A ordinary shares
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 their warrants immediately prior to such event. However, if such holders were entitled to exercise a right of election
as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other assets receivable upon such consolidation or merger, then the kind and amount
of securities, cash or other assets for which each warrant will become exercisable will be deemed to be the weighted average of
the kind and amount received per share by such holders in such consolidation or merger that affirmatively make such election,
and if a tender, exchange or redemption offer has been made to and accepted by such holders (other than a tender, exchange or
redemption offer made by the company in connection with redemption rights held by shareholders of the company as provided for
in the company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association or as a result of the redemption of Class A
ordinary shares by the company if a proposed initial business combination is presented to the shareholders of the company for
approval) under circumstances in which, upon completion of such tender or exchange offer, the maker thereof, together with members
of any group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) of which such maker is a part, and together with
any affiliate or associate of such maker (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and any members of any such
group of which any such affiliate or associate is a part, own beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
Act) more than 50% of the issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, the holder of a warrant will be entitled to receive
the highest amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would actually have been entitled as a shareholder
if such warrant holder had exercised the warrant prior to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, accepted such offer
and all of the Class A ordinary shares held by such holder had been purchased pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, subject
to adjustment (from and after the consummation of such tender or exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments
provided for in the warrant agreement. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of Class A ordinary shares
in such a transaction is payable in the form of Class A ordinary shares in the successor entity that is listed for trading on
a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted
immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within thirty days
following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the warrant agreement
based on the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the warrant agreement) of the warrant. The purpose of such exercise price reduction
is to provide additional value to holders of the warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period
of the warrants pursuant to which the holders of the warrants otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the warrants.
The purpose of such exercise price reduction is to provide additional value to holders of the warrants when an extraordinary transaction

The
warrants were issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant
agent, and us. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder
for the purpose of (i) curing any ambiguity or correct any mistake, including to conform the provisions of the warrant agreement
to the description of the terms of the warrants and the warrant agreement set forth in the final prospectus, or defective provision
(ii) amending the provisions relating to cash dividends on Ordinary Shares as contemplated by and in accordance with the warrant
agreement or (iii) adding or changing any provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the warrant agreement
as the parties to the warrant agreement may deem necessary or desirable and that the parties deem to not adversely affect the
rights of the registered holders of the warrants, provided that the approval by the holders of at least 65% of the then-outstanding
public warrants is required to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders. You should review
a copy of the warrant agreement, which was filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which the final prospectus is
a part, for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the warrants.

 

The
warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Ordinary Shares and any voting rights until they exercise their
warrants and receive Class A ordinary shares. After the issuance of Class A ordinary shares upon exercise of the warrants, each
holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders.

 

No
fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. If, upon exercise of the warrants,
a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole
number the number of Class A ordinary shares to be issued to the warrant holder.

 

We
have agreed that, subject to applicable law, any action, proceeding or claim against us arising out of or relating in any way
to the warrant agreement will 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 we irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction will be the exclusive
forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. See “Risk Factors — Our warrant agreement designates the courts
of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York as the sole and exclusive forum
for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by holders of our warrants, which could limit the ability of
warrant holders to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with our company.” This provision applies to claims under
the Securities Act but does not apply to claims under the Exchange Act or any claim for which the federal district courts of the
United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum.

Private
Placement Warrants

 

Except
as described below, the Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the warrants being
sold as part of the units in our initial public offering. The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A ordinary shares
issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after
the completion of our initial business combination (except pursuant to limited exceptions as described under “Principal
Shareholders — Transfers of Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants,” to our officers and directors and other
persons or entities affiliated with the initial purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants) and they will not be redeemable
by us (except as described under “— Warrants — Public Shareholders’ and Forward Purchase Warrants —
Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00”) so long as they are held by
our Sponsor or its permitted transferees (except as otherwise set forth herein). Our Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, has
the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders
other than our Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by us in all redemption
scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units being sold in our initial public
offering. Any amendment to the terms of the Private Placement Warrants or any provision of the warrant agreement with respect
to the Private Placement Warrants will require a vote of holders of at least 65% of the number of the then outstanding Private
Placement Warrants.

 

Except
as described above under “— Public Shareholders’ and Forward Purchase Warrants — Redemption of warrants
when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00,” if holders of the Private Placement Warrants elect
to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its warrants for that number
of Class A ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A ordinary shares
underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “Sponsor fair market value” (defined below) over the exercise
price of the warrants by (y) the Sponsor fair market value. For these purposes, the “Sponsor fair market value” shall
mean the average reported closing price of the Class A ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day
prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent. The reason that we have agreed that these
warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by our Sponsor, GEPT and their permitted transferees
is because it is not known at this time whether they will be affiliated with us following a business combination. If they remain
affiliated with us, their ability to sell our securities in the open market will be significantly limited. We expect to have policies
in place that restrict insiders from selling our securities except during specific periods of time. Even during such periods of
time when insiders will be permitted to sell our securities, an insider cannot trade in our securities if he or she is in possession
of material non-public information. Accordingly, unlike Public Shareholders who could exercise their warrants and sell the Class
A ordinary shares received upon such exercise freely in the open market in order to recoup the cost of such exercise, the insiders
could be significantly restricted from selling such securities. As a result, we believe that allowing the holders to exercise
such warrants on a cashless basis is appropriate.

 

In
order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination,
our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds
as may be required. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post business combination entity at
a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

 

Dividends

 

We
have not paid any cash dividends on our Ordinary Shares to date and do not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion
of our initial business combination. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings,
if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of our initial business combination. The
payment of any cash dividends subsequent to our initial business combination will be within the discretion of our board of directors
at such time. If we increase the size of our initial public offering, we will effect a share capitalization or other appropriate
mechanism immediately prior to the consummation of our initial public offering in such amount as to maintain the number of Founder
Shares, on an as-converted basis, at 20% of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares upon the consummation of our initial public
offering plus the number of Class A ordinary shares that may be sold pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement. Further, if we
incur any indebtedness in connection with a business combination, our ability to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive
covenants we may agree to in connection therewith.

Our
Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent

 

The
transfer agent for our Ordinary Shares and warrant agent for our warrants is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. We

agents and each of its shareholders, directors, officers and employees against all claims and losses that may arise out of acts
performed or omitted for its activities in that capacity, except for any claims and losses due to any gross negligence or intentional
misconduct of the indemnified person or entity.

Certain
Differences in Corporate Law

 

Cayman
Islands companies are governed by the Companies Law. The Companies Law is modeled on English Law but does not follow recent English
Law statutory enactments, and differs from laws applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below
is a summary of the material differences between the provisions of the Companies Law applicable to us and the laws applicable
to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders.

 

Mergers
and Similar Arrangements. In certain circumstances, the Companies Law allows for mergers or consolidations between two Cayman
Islands companies, or between a Cayman Islands exempted company and a company incorporated in another jurisdiction (provided that
is facilitated by the laws of that other jurisdiction).

 

Where
the merger or consolidation is between two Cayman Islands companies, the directors of each company must approve a written plan
of merger or consolidation containing certain prescribed information. That plan or merger or consolidation must then be authorized
by (a) a Special Resolution of the shareholders of each company; and (b) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified
in such constituent company’s articles of association. No shareholder resolution is required for a merger between a parent
company (i.e., a company that holds issued shares that together represent at least 90% of the votes at a general meeting of the
subsidiary company) and its subsidiary company, if a copy of the plan of merger is given to every member of each subsidiary company
to be merged unless that member agrees otherwise. The consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest of a constituent
company must be obtained, unless the court waives such requirement. If the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies is satisfied
that the requirements of the Companies Law (which includes certain other formalities) have been complied with, the Registrar of
Companies will register the plan of merger or consolidation.

 

Where
the merger or consolidation involves a foreign company, the procedure is similar, save that where the surviving or consolidated
company is the Cayman Islands exempted company, the Cayman Island Registrar of Companies is required to be satisfied in respect
of any constituent overseas company that: (i) that the merger or consolidation is permitted or not prohibited by the constitutional
documents of the foreign company and by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the foreign company is incorporated, and that those
laws and any requirements of those constitutional documents have been or will be complied with; (ii) that no petition or other
similar proceeding has been filed and remains outstanding or order made or resolution adopted to wind up or liquidate the foreign
company in any jurisdictions; (iii) that no receiver, trustee, administrator or other similar person has been appointed in any
jurisdiction and is acting in respect of the foreign company, its affairs or its property or any part thereof; (iv) that no scheme,
order, compromise or other similar arrangement has been entered into or made in any jurisdiction whereby the rights of creditors
of the foreign company are and continue to be suspended or restricted; (v) that the foreign company is able to pay its debts as
they fall due and that the merger or consolidation is bona fide and not intended to defraud unsecured creditors of the foreign
company; (vi) that in respect of the transfer of any security interest granted by the foreign company to the surviving or consolidated
company (a) consent or approval to the transfer has been obtained, released or waived; (b) the transfer is permitted by and has
been approved in accordance with the constitutional documents of the foreign company; and (c) the laws of the jurisdiction of
the foreign company with respect to the transfer have been or will be complied with; (vii) that the foreign company will, upon
the merger or consolidation becoming effective, cease to be incorporated, registered or exist under the laws of the relevant foreign
jurisdiction; and (viii) that there is no other reason why it would be against the public interest to permit the merger or consolidation.
The requirements set out in sections (i) to (vii) above shall be met by a director of the Cayman Islands exempted company making
a declaration to the effect that, having made due inquiry, they are of the opinion that such requirements have been met, such
declaration to include a statement of the assets and liabilities of the foreign company made up to the latest practicable date
before making the declaration.

 

    15

     

    

 

Where
the above procedures are adopted, the Companies Law provides for a right of dissenting shareholders to be paid a payment of the
fair value of their shares upon their dissenting to the merger or consolidation if they follow a prescribed procedure. In essence,
that procedure is as follows: (a) the shareholder must give their written objection to the merger or consolidation to the constituent
company before the vote on the merger or consolidation, including a statement that the shareholder proposes to demand payment
for their shares if the merger or consolidation is authorized by the vote; (b) within 20 days following the date on which the
merger or consolidation is approved by the shareholders, the constituent company must give written notice to each shareholder
who made a written objection; (c) a shareholder must within 20 days following receipt of such notice from the constituent company,
give the constituent company a written notice of their intention to dissent including, among other details, a demand for payment
of the fair value of their shares; (d) within seven days following the date of the expiration of the period set out in paragraph
(b) above or seven days following the date on which the plan of merger or consolidation is filed, whichever is later, the constituent
company, the surviving company or the consolidated company must make a written offer to each dissenting shareholder to purchase
their shares at a price that the company determines is the fair value and if the company and the shareholder agree the price within
30 days following the date on which the offer was made, the company must pay the shareholder such amount; and (e) if the company
and the shareholder fail to agree a price within such 30 day period, within 20 days following the date on which such 30 day period
expires, the company (and any dissenting shareholder) must file a petition with the Cayman Islands Grand Court to determine the
fair value and such petition must be accompanied by a list of the names and addresses of the dissenting shareholders with whom
agreements as to the fair value of their shares have not been reached by the company. At the hearing of that petition, the court
has the power to determine the fair value of the shares together with a fair rate of interest, if any, to be paid by the company
upon the amount determined to be the fair value. Any dissenting shareholder whose name appears on the list filed by the company
may participate fully in all proceedings until the determination of fair value is reached. These rights of a dissenting shareholder
are not available in certain circumstances, for example, to dissenters holding shares of any class in respect of which an open
market exists on a recognized stock exchange or recognized interdealer quotation system at the relevant date or where the consideration
for such shares to be contributed are shares of any company listed on a national securities exchange or shares of the surviving
or consolidated company.

 

Moreover,
Cayman Islands law has separate statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction or amalgamation of companies in certain
circumstances, schemes of arrangement will generally be more suited for complex mergers or other transactions involving widely
held companies, commonly referred to in the Cayman Islands as a “scheme of arrangement” which may be tantamount to
a merger. In the event that a merger was sought pursuant to a scheme of arrangement (the procedures for which are more rigorous
and take longer to complete than the procedures typically required to consummate a merger in the United States), the arrangement
in question must be approved by a majority in number of each class of shareholders and creditors with whom the arrangement is
to be made and who must in addition represent three-fourths in value of each such class of shareholders or creditors, as the case
may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meeting summoned for that purpose. The convening
of the meetings and subsequently the terms of the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While
a dissenting shareholder would have the right to express to the court the view that the transaction should not be approved, the
court can be expected to approve the arrangement if it satisfies itself that:

 

		●	the
                                         company is not proposing to act illegally or beyond the scope of its corporate authority
                                         and the statutory provisions as to dual majority vote have been complied with;

 

		●	the
                                         shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question;

 

		●	the
                                         arrangement is such as a businessman would reasonably approve; and

 

		●	the
                                         arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision
                                         of the Companies Law or that would amount to a “fraud on the minority.”

If
a scheme of arrangement or takeover offer (as described below) is approved, any dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable
to appraisal rights (providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares), which would
otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of United States corporations.

 

Squeeze-out
Provisions. When a takeover offer is made and accepted by holders of 90% of the shares to whom the offer relates within four
months, the offeror may, within a two-month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares on the
terms of the offer. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, but this is unlikely to succeed unless
there is evidence of fraud, bad faith, collusion or inequitable treatment of the shareholders.

 

Further,
transactions similar to a merger, reconstruction and/or an amalgamation may in some circumstances be achieved through means other
than these statutory provisions, such as a share capital exchange, asset acquisition or control, or through contractual arrangements
of an operating business.

 

Shareholders’
Suits. Our Cayman Islands counsel is not aware of any reported class action having been brought in a Cayman Islands court.
Derivative actions have been brought in the Cayman Islands courts, and the Cayman Islands courts have confirmed the availability
for such actions. In most cases, we will be the proper plaintiff in any claim based on a breach of duty owed to us, and a claim
against (for example) our officers or directors usually may not be brought by a shareholder. However, based both on Cayman Islands
authorities and on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority and be applied by a court in
the Cayman Islands, exceptions to the foregoing principle apply in circumstances in which:

 

		●	a
                                         company is acting, or proposing to act, illegally or beyond the scope of its authority;

 

		●	the
                                         act complained of, although not beyond the scope of the authority, could be effected
                                         if duly authorized by more than the number of votes which have actually been obtained;
                                         or

 

		●	those
                                         who control the company are perpetrating a “fraud on the minority.”

 

A
shareholder may have a direct right of action against us where the individual rights of that shareholder have been infringed or
are about to be infringed.

 

Enforcement
of Civil Liabilities. The Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws as compared to the United States and provides
less protection to investors. Additionally, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the Federal courts of
the United States.

 

We
have been advised by our Cayman Islands legal counsel that the courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce
against us judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws
of the United States or any state; and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against us
predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state, so far as the
liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement
in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce
a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that
a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been
given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be
final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman
Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, and or be of a kind
the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple
damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands Court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent
proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

Special
Considerations for Exempted Companies. We are an exempted company with limited liability (meaning our Public Shareholders
have no liability, as members of the company, for liabilities of the company over and above the amount paid for their shares)
under the Companies Law. The Companies Law distinguishes between ordinary resident companies and exempted companies. Any company
that is registered in the Cayman Islands but conducts business mainly outside of the Cayman Islands may apply to be registered
as an exempted company. The requirements for an exempted company are essentially the same as for an ordinary company except for
certain exemptions and privileges including those listed below:

 

		●	annual
                                         reporting requirements are minimal and consist mainly of a statement that the company
                                         has conducted its operations mainly outside of the Cayman Islands and has complied with
                                         the provisions of the Companies Law;

 

		●	an
                                         exempted company’s register of members is not open to inspection and can be kept
                                         outside of the Cayman Islands;

 

		●	an
                                         exempted company does not have to hold an annual general meeting;

 

		●	an
                                         exempted company may issue shares with no par value;

 

		●	an
                                         exempted company may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation
                                         (such undertakings are usually given for 30 years in the first instance); • an exempted
                                         company may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered
                                         in the Cayman Islands;

 

		●	an
                                         exempted company may register as a limited duration company; and

 

		●	an
                                         exempted company may register as a segregated portfolio company.

 All Securities of any one Series need not be issued at the same time and may be issued from
time to time, consistent with the terms of this Indenture, if so provided by or pursuant to the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate referred to above. 

Section 2.3 Execution and Authentication. 

An Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. 

If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall
nevertheless be valid. 
 A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating
agent. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 The Trustee shall at any
time, and from time to time, authenticate Securities for original issue in the principal amount provided in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate, upon receipt by the Trustee of a Company Order. Each
Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
 The aggregate principal amount of Securities of any Series outstanding at any
time may not exceed any limit upon the maximum principal amount for such Series set forth in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2, except as provided in
Section 2.8. 
 Prior to the issuance of Securities of any Series, the Trustee shall have received and (subject to Section 7.2)
shall be fully protected in relying on: (a) the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate establishing the form of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series and the terms of the
Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series, (b) an Officer’s Certificate complying with Section 10.4, and (c) an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 10.4. 

  
 8 

 The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities of
such Series: (a) if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not be taken lawfully; or (b) if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee or a trust committee of
directors and/or vice-presidents or a committee of Responsible Officers shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any then outstanding Series of Securities. 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate
Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of
the Company. 
 Section 2.4 Registrar and Paying Agent. 

The Company shall maintain, with respect to each Series of Securities, at the place or places specified with respect to such Series pursuant to
Section 2.2, an office or agency where Securities of such Series may be presented or surrendered for payment (“Paying Agent”), where Securities of such Series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
(“Registrar”) and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such Series and this Indenture may be delivered (“Notice Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register with respect
to each Series of Securities and to their transfer and exchange. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address, and any change in the name or address, of each Registrar, Paying Agent or Notice Agent. If at any
time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required Registrar, Paying Agent or Notice Agent or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the name and address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands; provided, however, that any appointment of the Trustee as the Notice Agent shall
exclude the appointment of the Trustee or any office of the Trustee as an agent to receive the service of legal process on the Company. 

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more co-registrars, additional paying agents
or additional notice agents and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligations to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent and Notice
Agent in each place so specified pursuant to Section 2.2 for Securities of any Series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the name or address
of any such co-registrar, additional paying agent or additional notice agent. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar; the term “Paying
Agent” includes any additional paying agent; and the term “Notice Agent” includes any additional notice agent. The Company or any of its Affiliates may serve as Registrar or Paying Agent. 

The Company hereby appoints the Trustee the initial Registrar, Paying Agent and Notice Agent for each Series unless another Registrar, Paying
Agent or Notice Agent, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities of that Series are first issued.

 Section 2.5 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust, for the
benefit of Securityholders of any Series of Securities, or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Series of Securities, and will notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company
in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon
payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold
in a separate trust fund for the benefit of Securityholders of any Series of Securities all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying
Agent for the Securities. 
 Section 2.6 Securityholder Lists. 

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
Securityholders of each Series of Securities and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least ten days before each interest payment date and at such other times
as the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Securityholders of each Series of Securities. 

Section 2.7 Transfer and Exchange. 

Where Securities of a Series are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to
register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same Series, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of
transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the Company may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.6 or
9.6). 
 Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange Securities of any
Series for the period beginning at the opening of business fifteen days immediately preceding the sending of a notice of redemption of Securities of that Series selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day such notice is
sent, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any Series selected, called or being called for redemption as a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such Securities selected, called or being called for redemption in
part. 

  
 10 

 Section 2.8 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 

If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Security and (ii) such security or indemnity bond as may be required by each of them to hold itself and any of its agents harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon receipt of a Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and
principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security
has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 

Every new Security of any Series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an
original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with
any and all other Securities of that Series duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to
the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 

Section 2.9 Outstanding Securities. 

The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to
it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest on a Global Security effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this Section as not outstanding. 

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.8, it ceases to be outstanding until the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that
the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company) holds on the Maturity of Securities of a Series money sufficient to pay such Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities of the Series cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to
accrue. 

  
 11 

 The Company may purchase or otherwise acquire the Securities, whether by open market
purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security (but see Section 2.10 below). 

In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities have given any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the principal amount of a Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such
determination upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.2. 
 Section 2.10 Treasury
Securities. 
 In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of a Series have concurred in any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, Securities of a Series owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be
protected in relying on any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver only Securities of a Series that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 

Section 2.11 Temporary Securities. 

Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities upon a
Company Order. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the
Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order shall authenticate definitive Securities of the same Series and date of maturity in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, temporary securities shall have the same rights under this Indenture
as the definitive Securities. 
 Section 2.12 Cancellation. 

The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee
any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy such canceled Securities
(subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act and the Trustee) and deliver a certificate of such cancellation to the Company upon written request of the Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that
it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 Section 2.13 Defaulted Interest. 

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on a Series of Securities, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus, to the extent permitted
by law, any interest payable on the defaulted 

  
 12 

 
interest, to the persons who are Securityholders of the Series on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix the record date and payment date. At least 10 days before the special
record date, the Company shall send to the Trustee and to each Securityholder of the Series a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of interest to be paid. The Company may pay defaulted interest in any other
lawful manner. 
 Section 2.14 Global Securities. 

2.14.1 Terms of Securities. A Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate shall establish whether
the Securities of a Series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities. 

2.14.2 Transfer and Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.7 of the Indenture and in
addition thereto, any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Indenture for Securities registered in the names of Holders other than the Depositary for such Security or its nominee only if (i) such Depositary
notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company fails to
appoint a successor Depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act within 90 days of such event or (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that such Global Security
shall be so exchangeable. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Securities registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct in writing in an aggregate principal amount equal to
the principal amount of the Global Security with like tenor and terms. 
 Except as provided in this Section 2.14.2, a Global Security
may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary with respect to such Global Security to a nominee of such Depositary, by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by the Depositary or any
such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a successor Depositary. 
 2.14.3 Legends. Any Global Security issued
hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 
 “THIS SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE
INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF THE DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY. THIS SECURITY IS EXCHANGEABLE FOR SECURITIES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITARY OR ITS NOMINEE ONLY IN THE
LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY, BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE
DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY.” 

  
 13 

 In addition, so long as the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) is the Depositary,
each Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 
 “UNLESS THIS
GLOBAL NOTE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION (“DTC”), TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY GLOBAL NOTE ISSUED IS
REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF
DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.” 

2.14.4 Acts of Holders. The Depositary, as a Holder, may appoint agents and otherwise authorize participants to give or take any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under the Indenture. 

2.14.5 Payments. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 2.2, payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on any Global Security shall be made to the Holder thereof. 
 2.14.6
Consents, Declaration and Directions. The Company, the Trustee and any Agent shall treat a person as the Holder of such principal amount of outstanding Securities of such Series represented by a Global Security as shall be specified in a
written statement of the Depositary or by the applicable procedures of such Depositary with respect to such Global Security, for purposes of obtaining any consents, declarations, waivers or directions required to be given by the Holders pursuant to
this Indenture. 
 Section 2.15 CUSIP Numbers. 

The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use
“CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any
notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other elements of identification printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

 Section 3.1
Notice to Trustee. 
 The Company may, with respect to any Series of Securities, reserve the right to redeem and pay the Series of
Securities or may covenant to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or any part thereof prior to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and on such terms as provided for in such Securities. If a Series of Securities is redeemable and the Company
wants or is obligated to redeem prior to the Stated Maturity thereof all or part of the Series of Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date and the principal amount of Series
of Securities to be redeemed. The Company shall give the notice at least 15 days before the redemption date, unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the Trustee. 

Section 3.2 Selection of Securities to be Redeemed. 

Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate, if
less than all the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Securities of the Series to be redeemed will be selected as follows: (a) if the Securities are in the form of Global Securities, in accordance with the procedures of the
Depositary, (b) if the Securities are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed, or (c) if not otherwise
provided for under clause (a) or (b) in the manner that the Trustee deems fair and appropriate, including by lot or other method, unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements, subject, in the case of Global
Securities, to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Securities to be redeemed shall be selected from Securities of the Series outstanding not previously called for redemption. Portions of the principal of Securities of the
Series that have denominations larger than $1,000 may be selected for redemption. Securities of the Series and portions of them it selected for redemption shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 or, with respect to Securities of
any Series issuable in other denominations pursuant to Section 2.2.10, the minimum principal denomination for each Series and the authorized integral multiples thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities of a Series called
for redemption also apply to portions of Securities of that Series called for redemption. 
 Section 3.3 Notice of Redemption.

 Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate,
at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall send or cause to be sent by first-class mail or electronically, in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose
Securities are to be redeemed. 
 The notice shall identify the Securities of the Series to be redeemed and shall state: 

(a) the redemption date; 

  
 15 

 (b) the redemption price; 

(c) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

(d) if any Securities are being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed and
that, after the redemption date and upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Security shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the
original Security; 
 (e) that Securities of the Series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to
collect the redemption price; 
 (f) that interest on Securities of the Series called for redemption ceases to accrue on and
after the redemption date unless the Company defaults in the deposit of the redemption price; 
 (g) the CUSIP number, if
any; and 
 (h) any other information as may be required by the terms of the particular Series or the Securities of a Series
being redeemed. 
 At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its
expense, provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least 10 days (unless a shorter time shall be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the notice date, an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such
notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice. 
 Section 3.4 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once notice of redemption is sent as provided in Section 3.3, Securities of a Series called for redemption become due and payable on the
redemption date and at the redemption price. Except as otherwise provided in the supplemental indenture, Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate for a Series, a notice of redemption may not be conditional. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent,
such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price plus accrued interest to the redemption date.

To the extent any Securities of a Series are outstanding, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 15 days after it files them with the
SEC copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents, and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant
to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of TIA § 314(a). Reports, information and documents filed with the SEC via the EDGAR system will be deemed to be delivered to the Trustee
as of the time of such filing via EDGAR for purposes of this Section 4.2. 
 Delivery of reports, information and documents to the
Trustee under this Section 4.2 are for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive or actual notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information
contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). 

Section 4.3 Compliance Certificate. 

To the extent any Securities of a Series are outstanding, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each

determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his/her knowledge the Company has kept,
observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions hereof (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which the Officer may have knowledge). 
 Section 4.4 Stay, Extension
and Usury Laws. 
 The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or
in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which 

  
 17 

 
may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture or the Securities; and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such
law and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

 SUCCESSORS 

Section 5.1 When Company May Merge, Etc. 

The Company shall not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and

and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor person has been named as the Company herein; provided, however, that the predecessor Company in the case of a sale, conveyance or
other disposition (other than a lease) shall be released from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities.

 ARTICLE VI. 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 

Section 6.1 Events of Default. 

“Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any Series, means any one of the following events,
unless in the establishing Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officer’s Certificate, it is provided that such Series shall not have the benefit of said Event of Default: 

(a) default in the payment of any interest on any Security of that Series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of
such default for a period of 30 days (unless the entire amount of such payment is deposited by the Company with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
30th day of such period); or 
 (b) default in the payment of principal
of any Security of that Series at its Maturity; or 
 (c) default in the performance or breach of any covenant or warranty of
the Company in this Indenture (other than defaults pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) above or pursuant to a covenant or warranty that has been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of Series of Securities other than that Series),
which default continues uncured for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of that Series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or 

(d) the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 

(i) commences a voluntary case, 

(ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, 

(iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, 

(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or 

(v) generally is unable to pay its debts as the same become due; or 

(e) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 

(i) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case, 

  
 19 

 (ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or for all or substantially all of
its property, or 
 (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company, and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for
60 days; or 
 (f) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that Series, which is specified in a
Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate, in accordance with Section 2.2.18. 
 The term
“Bankruptcy Law” means title 11, U.S. Code or any similar Federal or State law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any
Bankruptcy Law. 
 The Company will provide the Trustee written notice of any Default or Event of Default within 30 days of becoming aware
of the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default, which notice will describe in reasonable detail the status of such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof. 

Section 6.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any Series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of
Default referred to in Section 6.1(d) or (e)) then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series may declare the principal amount (or, if any Securities of
that Series are Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the Securities of that Series to be due and payable immediately, by
a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of
Default specified in Section 6.1(d) or (e) shall occur, the principal amount (or specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable
without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 
 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with
respect to any Series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of
that Series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that Series, other than the
non-payment of the principal and interest, if any, of Securities of that Series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.13.

 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

  
 20 

 Section 6.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

 The Company covenants that if 

(a) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default
continues for a period of 30 days, or 
 (b) default is made in the payment of principal of any Security at the Maturity
thereof, or 
 (c) default is made in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, if any, when and as due by the terms of a
Security, then, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest and, to the extent that payment of
such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and any overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the
costs and expenses of collection, including the compensation, reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 

If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may
institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys
adjudged or deemed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated. 

If an Event of Default with respect to any Securities of any Series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to
protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such Series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement
of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 

Section 6.4 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other
judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due
and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in
such proceeding or otherwise, 
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and
unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the compensation, reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 

  
 21 

 (b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments
to the 
 Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount
due it for the compensation, reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7. 

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

Section 6.5 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. 

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of
any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after
provision for the payment of the compensation, reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

 Section 6.6 Application of Money Collected. 

Any money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by
the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money or property on account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

 First: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7; and 

Second: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and interest on the Securities in respect of which or for the
benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and 

Third: To the Company. 

  
 22 

 Section 6.7 Limitation on Suits. 

No Holder of any Security of any Series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless 
 (a) such Holder has
previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that Series; 

(b) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series shall have made written
request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 

(c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs,
expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by the Trustee in compliance with such request; 
 (d) the Trustee for 60
days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
 (e)
no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series; 

it being understood, intended and expressly covenanted by the Holder of every Security with every other Holder and the Trustee that no one or more of such
Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference
over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders of the applicable Series. 

Section 6.8 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest. 

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to
receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Security on the Maturity of such Security, including the Stated Maturity expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date) and to institute suit for
the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 6.9
Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 
 If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under
this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the
Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 

  
 23 

 Section 6.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in Section 2.8,
no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every
other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not, to the extent permitted by law, prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 6.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall
impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often
as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 Section 6.12 Control by Holders. 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series shall have the right to direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such Series, provided that 

(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, 

(b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, 

(c) subject to the provisions of Section 7.1, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if
the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability, and 

(d) prior to taking any action as directed under this Section 6.12, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnity
satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 

  
 24 

 Section 6.13 Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may on behalf of the Holders of all the
Securities of such Series, by written notice to the Trustee and the Company, waive any past Default hereunder with respect to such Series and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security of such
Series (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration).
Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair
any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 6.14 Undertaking for Costs. 

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court
may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit
of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of
the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding
in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security on or after the Maturity of
such Security, including the Stated Maturity expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date). 
 ARTICLE
VII. 
 TRUSTEE 

Section 7.1 Duties of Trustee. 

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by
this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 

(i) The Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others. 

(ii) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon Officer’s Certificates or Opinions of Counsel furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; 

  
 25 

 
however, in the case of any such Officer’s Certificates or Opinions of Counsel which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall
examine such Officer’s Certificates and Opinions of Counsel to determine whether or not they conform to the form requirements of this Indenture. 

(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own
willful misconduct, except that: 
 (i) This paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section. 

(ii) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved
that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. 
 (iii) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to
any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it with respect to Securities of any Series in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series relating to
the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such Series in accordance with
Section 6.12. 
 (d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraph
(a), (b) and (c) of this Section.

unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in performing such duty or exercising such right or power. 

(f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with
the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

(g) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability
in the performance of any of its duties, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if adequate indemnity against such risk is not assured to the Trustee in its satisfaction. 

(h) The Paying Agent, the Registrar and any authenticating agent shall be entitled to the protections and immunities as are set
forth in paragraphs (e), (f) and (g) of this Section and in Section 7.2, each with respect to the Trustee. 

  
 26 

 Section 7.2 Rights of Trustee. 

(a) The Trustee may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any document (whether in its
original or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. 

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or
both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. 

(c) The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed
with due care. No Depositary shall be deemed an agent of the Trustee and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any act or omission by any Depositary. 

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized
or within its rights or powers, provided that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or negligence. 

(e) The Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder without willful misconduct or negligence, and in reliance thereon. 

(f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the
request or direction of any of the Holders of Securities unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such
request or direction. 
 (g) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further
inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit. 
 (h) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice
of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee, and such notice references the Securities generally or the Securities of a particular Series and this Indenture. 

(i) In no event shall the Trustee be liable to any person for special, punitive, indirect, consequential or incidental loss or
damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage. 

  
 27 

 (j) The permissive right of the Trustee to take the actions permitted by
this Indenture shall not be construed as an obligation or duty to do so. 
 Section 7.3 Individual Rights of Trustee. 

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 

Section 7.4 Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the
Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities other than its authentication. 

Section 7.5 Notice of Defaults. 

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any Series and if it is known to a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall send to each Securityholder of the Securities of that Series notice of a Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs or, if later, after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge of
such Default or Event of Default. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Security of any Series, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as its corporate trust committee or a
committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Securityholders of that Series. 

Section 7.6 Reports by Trustee to Holders. 

Within 60 days after each [ ] commencing [ ], [ ], the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Securityholders, as their names and addresses
appear on the register kept by the Registrar, a brief report dated as of such anniversary date, in accordance with, and to the extent required under, TIA § 313. 

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders of any Series shall be filed with the SEC and each national securities
exchange on which the Securities of that Series are listed. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing when Securities of any Series are listed on any national securities exchange. 

Section 7.7 Compensation and Indemnity. 

The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its services as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time
agree upon in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by it.
Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 

  
 28 

 The Company shall indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee (including for
the cost of defending itself) against any cost, expense or liability, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred by it except as set forth in the next paragraph in the performance
of its duties under this Indenture as Trustee or Agent. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations
hereunder, unless and to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced thereby. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have one separate counsel and the Company shall pay the
reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. This indemnification shall apply to officers, directors, employees, shareholders and
agents of the Trustee. 
 The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee or
by any officer, director, employee, shareholder or agent of the Trustee through willful misconduct or negligence. 
 To secure the
Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities of any Series on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of and interest on
particular Securities of that Series. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.1(d) or (e) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture. 

Section 7.8 Replacement of Trustee. 

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s
acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section. 
 The Trustee may resign with respect to the Securities of one or more Series by so
notifying the Company at least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed resignation. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee with respect to that Series by so notifying the Trustee and
the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of one or more Series if: 
 (a) the Trustee fails
to comply with Section 7.10; 
 (b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered
with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; 
 (c) a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its
property; or 
 (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

  
 29 

 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any
reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the
successor Trustee appointed by the Company. 
 If a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any one or more Series does not take

covenants specified in a supplemental indenture for such Series of Securities or a Board Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 (and the failure to comply with any such covenants shall not constitute a
Default or Event of Default with respect to such Series under Section 6.1) and the occurrence of any event specified in a supplemental indenture for such Series of Securities or a Board Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate delivered
pursuant to Section 2.2 and designated as an Event of Default shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default hereunder, with respect to the Securities of such Series, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such

analogous payments) of and interest on all the Securities of such Series on the dates such installments of principal or interest are due;

another person. 
 Section 8.6 Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money deposited with respect to Securities of any Series in accordance with
Section 8.1 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the obligations of the Company under this Indenture
with respect to the Securities of such Series and under the Securities of such Series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.1 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to
apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.1; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of principal of or interest on [or any Additional Amounts with respect to] any Securities because of the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent after payment in full to the
Holders.

respect to the Securities of one or more Series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee; or 

(k) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA.

 Section 9.2 With Consent of Holders. 

The Company and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of each Series affected by such supplemental indenture (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series), for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Securityholders of each such Series. Except as provided in Section 6.13, the
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series by notice to the Trustee (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series) may waive
compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities with respect to such Series. 
 It shall not be necessary
for the consent of the Holders of Securities under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After a supplemental
indenture or waiver under this section becomes effective, the Company shall send to the Holders of Securities affected thereby, a notice briefly describing the supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure by the Company to send such notice, or any
defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver. 

  
 36 

 Section 9.3 Limitations. 

Without the consent of each Securityholder affected, an amendment or waiver may not: 

(a) reduce the principal amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 

(b) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any Security; 

(c) reduce the principal or change the Stated Maturity of any Security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for,
the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation; 
 (d) reduce the principal amount of Discount Securities payable
upon acceleration of the maturity thereof; 
 (e) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or
interest, if any, on any Security (except a rescission of acceleration of the Securities of any Series by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series and a waiver of the payment default that
resulted from such acceleration); 
 (f) make the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security payable in any currency
other than that stated in the Security; 
 (g) make any change in Sections 6.8, 6.13 or 9.3 (this sentence); or 

(h) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Security, provided that such redemption is made at the Company’s
option. 
 Section 9.4 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 

Every amendment to this Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture hereto that complies
with the TIA as then in effect. 
 Section 9.5 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

Until an amendment is set forth in a supplemental indenture or a waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a
continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such
Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date of the supplemental indenture or the date the waiver becomes effective. 

  
 37 

 Any amendment or waiver once effective shall bind every Securityholder of each Series
affected by such amendment or waiver unless it is of the type described in any of clauses (a) through (h) of Section 9.3. In that case, the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every
subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security. 
 The
Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a
record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the second immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke
any consent previously given or take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date. 

Section 9.6 Notation on or Exchange of Securities. 

The Company or the Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Security of any Series thereafter
authenticated. The Company in exchange for Securities of that Series may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon receipt of a Company Order in accordance with Section 2.3 new Securities of that Series that reflect the amendment or waiver.

 Section 9.7 Trustee Protected. 

In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby
of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both complying with
Section 10.4. The Trustee shall sign all supplemental indentures upon delivery of such an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel or both, except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental indenture that adversely affects its
rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture.

Section 10.15 Securities in a Foreign Currency. 

Unless otherwise specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to
Section 2.2 of this Indenture with respect to a particular Series of Securities, whenever for purposes of this Indenture any action may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of Securities of all Series
or all Series affected by a particular action at the time outstanding and, at such time, there are outstanding Securities of any Series which are denominated in more than one currency, then the principal amount of Securities of such Series which

a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Indenture with respect to a particular Series of Securities, such conversion shall be at the spot rate for the

as may be selected in good faith by the Company) on any date of determination. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply in determining the equivalent principal amount in respect of Securities of a Series denominated in currency other than

 ARTICLE XI. 

SINKING FUNDS 
 Section 11.1
Applicability of Article. 
 The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of the
Securities of a Series if so provided by the terms of such Securities pursuant to Section 2.2 and except as otherwise permitted or required by any form of Security of such Series issued pursuant to this Indenture. 

The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the Securities of any Series is herein referred to as a
“mandatory sinking fund payment” and any other amount provided for by the terms of Securities of such Series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of Securities of
any Series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 11.2. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any Series as provided for by the terms of the
Securities of such Series. 
 Section 11.2 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 

The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of any Series to be made
pursuant to the terms of such Securities (1) deliver outstanding Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable (other than any of such Securities previously called for mandatory sinking fund redemption) and
(2) apply as credit Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable and which have been repurchased by the Company or redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Series of Securities
(except pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund) or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments or other optional redemptions pursuant to the terms of such Securities, provided that such Securities have not been previously so
credited. Such Securities shall be received by the Trustee, together with an Officer’s Certificate with respect thereto, not later than 15 days prior to the date on which the Trustee begins the process of selecting Securities for redemption,
and shall be credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. If as a result of the
delivery or credit of Securities in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 11.2, the principal amount of Securities of such Series to be redeemed in order to exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee
need not call Securities of such Series for redemption, except upon receipt of a Company Order that such action be taken, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment,
provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall from time to time upon receipt of a Company Order pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Company to
the Trustee of Securities of that Series purchased by the Company having an unpaid principal amount equal to the cash payment required to be released to the Company.

 Section 11.3 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 

Not less than 45 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate in
respect of a particular Series of Securities) prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking
fund payment for that Series pursuant to the terms of that Series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that
Series pursuant to Section 11.2, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 30 days
(unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture in respect of a particular Series of Securities) before each such sinking fund payment date the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking
fund payment date will be selected in the manner specified in Section 3.2 and the Company shall send or cause to be sent a notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in
and in accordance with Section 3.3. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6.
