		(viii)	"guarantee" means (other than in Clause 13 (Guarantee)) any guarantee, letter of credit, bond, indemnity or similar assurance against loss, or any obligation, direct or indirect, actual or contingent, to purchase or assume any indebtedness of any person or to make an investment in or loan to any person or to purchase assets of any person where, in each case, such obligation (including any indemnity) is assumed in order to maintain or assist the ability of such person to meet its indebtedness;

		(xii)	a provision of law is a reference to that provision as amended or re-enacted; the singular includes the plural and vice versa; and

		(xiii)	a time of day is a reference to London time, unless expressly provided otherwise.

		(b)	Section, Clause and Schedule headings are for ease of reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.

		(d)	Unless a contrary indication appears, a term used in any other Transaction Document or in any notice given under or in connection with any Transaction Document has the same meaning in that Transaction Document or notice as in this Agreement.

		(e)	A Default (other than an Event of Default) is "continuing" if it has not been remedied or waived in writing and an Event of Default is "continuing" if it has not been waived in writing.

	1.3.	Third party rights

Except for the Buyer’s creditors or financiers to whom the rights of the Buyer under this Agreement may be assigned:

The Buyer may release any Seller from this Agreement and compound with or otherwise vary or agree to vary the liability of, or to grant time or indulgence to or make other arrangements with any one or more of them or any other person without prejudicing or affecting the Buyer's rights against the other Sellers.
	1.5.	Obligors' Agent

		(a)	Each Obligor (other than GeoPark SAS) by its execution of this Agreement irrevocably appoints GeoPark SAS (acting through one or more authorised signatories) to act on its behalf as its agent in relation to the Transaction Documents and irrevocably authorises:

		(i)	GeoPark SAS on its behalf to supply all information concerning itself contemplated by this Agreement to the Buyer and to give all notices and instructions (including, in the case of a Seller, Utilisation Requests), to execute on its behalf any other agreement or deed, to make such agreements and to effect the relevant amendments, supplements and variations in each case, however fundamental, capable of being given, made or effected by any Obligor notwithstanding that they may affect the Obligor, without further reference to or the consent of that Obligor; and

		(ii)	the Buyer to give any notice, demand or other communication to that Obligor pursuant to the Transaction Documents to GeoPark SAS,

4

		(b)	Every act, omission, agreement, deed, undertaking, settlement, waiver, amendment, supplement, variation, notice or other communication given or made by GeoPark SAS or given to GeoPark SAS under any Transaction Document on behalf of another Obligor or in connection with any Transaction Document (whether or not known to any other Obligor and whether occurring before or after such other Obligor became an Obligor under any Transaction Document) shall be binding for all purposes on that Obligor as if that Obligor had expressly made, given or concurred with it.

		(iv)	lastly, towards reimbursement of any other sum due but unpaid by the Sellers to the Buyer under the Transaction Documents. 

		(e)	Notwithstanding Clause 6.1(b), the Buyer is not obliged to deduct the Due Sum from the Commodity Price in the event the Commodities delivered do not comply with the terms of the Commercial Contract and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer may choose not to deduct the Due Sum from the Commodity Price if any Commodity does not meet the quality or specifications set forth in the Commercial Contract, in which case the Sellers shall reimburse the Due Sum through a cash payment on or before the due date for reimbursement or payment of such Due Sum. 

	6.2.	Reimbursement 

		(a)	The Sellers shall reimburse each Reimbursement Instalment (primarily through delivery of the Commodities in accordance with the Commercial Contract, and corresponding deduction in accordance with Clause 6.1 or, if required, through a cash payment) no later than the Reimbursement Date applicable to such Reimbursement Instalment (except in relation to an amount payable pursuant to Clause 6.1(c)(ii), in which case such amounts shall be paid no later than the date specified in Clause 6.1(c)(ii)) and in any event the Outstanding Amount shall be reimbursed by the Sellers in full prior to expiry of the Due Date.

		(c)	It is acknowledged and agreed by the Sellers that the occurrence of an Excusable Event or Force Majeure shall not in any way limit the obligations of the Sellers under the Prepayment Agreement in relation to reimbursement of any Reimbursement Instalment

	6.4.	Effect of voluntary prepayment on scheduled reimbursements

In the event that the Seller prepays an Advance in accordance with Clause 7.4 (Voluntary prepayment), the outstanding amount of such Advance shall be contemporaneously reduced by the amount of such prepayment, and the Reimbursement Instalments for such Advance then calculated shall be reduced on a pro-rata basis.
	6.5.	Due Date

7.1.2         Parties agree that if the illegality for the Buyer to perform its obligations by this Agreement or to fund, issue or maintain the Advances does not relate to any act or omission from any Seller and or its Affiliates, the Buyer shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate the circumstances resulting in such illegality through itself or via a third party in order to attempt to maintain the Agreement in full force and effect. 
7.1.3         For the avoidance of doubt:

8

​
​
		(c)	At any time after a Change of Control, if the Buyer is not satisfied (acting reasonably) with the Change of Control, upon the Buyer’s first written demand (at its sole discretion), the Sellers shall immediately reimburse or pay the Outstanding Amount in cash.

		(a)	guarantees to the Buyer punctual performance by each Seller of all that Seller's obligations under the Transaction Documents;

		(c)	agrees with the Buyer that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify the Buyer within two (2) Business Days on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of a Seller not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Transaction Document on the date when it would have been due.  The amount payable by a Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 13 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by any Obligor under the Transaction Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

	13.4.	Waiver of defences

The obligations of the Guarantor under this Clause 13 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 13 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or the Buyer) including:
		(a)	any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor or other person;

14

		(b)	the release of any other Obligor or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any member of the Group;

		(c)	the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any Obligor or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;

		(d)	any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of an Obligor or any other person;

The Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring the Buyer (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from that Guarantor under this Clause 13.  This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Transaction Document to the contrary.
	13.6.	Appropriations

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Transaction Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, the Buyer (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:

		(b)	hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Guarantor or on account of any Guarantor's liability under this Clause 13.

	13.7.	Deferral of Guarantor’s rights

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Transaction Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Buyer otherwise directs, the Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Clause 13:
		(a)	to be indemnified by any Seller;

15

		(b)	to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Obligor's obligations under the Transaction Documents; 

		(c)	to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Buyer under the Transaction Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Transaction Documents by the Buyer;

		(d)	to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Obligor to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which any Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Clause 13.1 (Guarantee and indemnity);

		(e)	to exercise any right of set-off against any Obligor; and/or

		(f)	to claim or prove as a creditor of any Obligor in competition with the Buyer.

If the Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Buyer by the Obligors under or in connection with the Transaction Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Buyer and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Buyer or as the Buyer may direct for application in accordance with Clause 6.1(d).

 Exhibit 4.5 

DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES 

REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE 

SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 

As of March 31, 2021, Zanite Acquisition Corp. has three classes of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”): (1) our units; (2) our Class A common stock; and (3) our warrants. 

The following description of our units, Class A common stock, and warrants is a summary and does not purport to be complete. It is
subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, each of which are incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form
10-K of which this Exhibit 4.5 is a part. 
 Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meaning assigned to them in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of which this Exhibit 4.5 is a part. 

Description of Units 
 Units 

Each unit has an offering price of $10.00 and consists of one share of Class A common stock and
one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described in our
initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) prospectus (“Prospectus”). Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of the shares of Company’s Class A
common stock. This means only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder. For example, if a warrant holder holds one-half or two-thirds of
one warrant to purchase a share of Class A common stock, such warrant will not be exercisable. If a warrant holder holds two-halves of one warrant, such whole warrant will be exercisable for one share of
Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. 
 Description of Class A Common Stock 

Stockholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Holders of Class A
common stock and holders of Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders except as required by law. Unless specified in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation,
or as required by applicable provisions of the DGCL or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of our shares of common stock that are voted is required to approve any such matter voted on by our stockholders. 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 stockholders are entitled to receive ratable dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors out of funds
legally available therefor. 
 Because our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 100,000,000
shares of Class A common stock, 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 shares of Class A common stock which we are authorized to
issue at the same time as our stockholders vote on the business combination to the extent we seek stockholder 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 stockholders) serving a three-year term. 
  

 In accordance with Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, we are not required to hold an
annual meeting until no later than one year after our first full fiscal year end following our listing on Nasdaq. Under Section 211(b) of the DGCL, we are, however, required to hold an annual meeting of stockholders for the purposes of electing
directors in accordance with our bylaws, unless such election is made by written consent in lieu of such a meeting. We may not hold an annual meeting of stockholders to elect new directors prior to the consummation of our initial business
combination, and thus we may not be in compliance with Section 211(b) of the DGCL, which requires an annual meeting. Therefore, if our stockholders want us to hold an annual meeting prior to the consummation of our initial business combination,
they may attempt to force us to hold one by submitting an application to the Delaware Court of Chancery in accordance with Section 211(c) of the DGCL. 

We will provide our public stockholders 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 (net of permitted withdrawals), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in the trust
account is initially anticipated to be $10.10 per public share. Such amount will be increased by an anticipated $0.10 per public share pursuant to our Sponsor’s purchase of additional private placement warrants for each 6 month extension of our
time to consummate an initial business combination our Sponsor elects to effectuate. 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. Our initial stockholders, Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and public shares they
hold in connection with the completion of our initial business combination. Unlike many special purpose acquisition companies that hold stockholder 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 stockholder vote is not required by law and we do not decide to hold a stockholder vote for
business or other legal reasons, we will, pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, 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 certificate of incorporation requires these tender offer documents to contain substantially the same financial and other information about our initial business combination and the redemption
rights as is required under the SEC’s proxy rules. If, however, a stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or we decide to obtain stockholder approval for business or other legal reasons, we will, like many special purpose
acquisition 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 stockholder approval, we will complete our initial business combination only if
a majority of the shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of our initial business combination. However, the participation of our Sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or their affiliates in privately-negotiated transactions (as described in
the Prospectus), if any, could result in the approval of our initial business combination even if a majority of our public stockholders vote, or indicate their intention to vote, against such initial business combination. For purposes of seeking
approval of the majority of our outstanding shares of common stock, non-votes will have no effect on the approval of our initial business combination once a quorum is obtained. 

  
 2 

 If we seek stockholder 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 certificate of incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any
other person with whom such stockholder 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 stockholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against our initial business combination. Our stockholders’ inability to redeem the Excess Shares will reduce their
influence over our ability to complete our initial business combination, and such stockholders could suffer a material loss in their investment if they sell such Excess Shares on the open market. Additionally, such stockholders will not receive
redemption distributions with respect to the Excess Shares if we complete our initial business combination. And, as a result, such stockholders 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 stockholder approval in connection with our
initial business combination, our initial stockholders, Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to vote any founder shares they hold and any public shares purchased during or after the Public Offering in favor of our initial business
combination. As a result, in addition to our initial stockholders’ founder shares, we would need 7,500,001, or 37.5%, of the 20,000,000 public shares sold in the Initial Public Offering to be voted in favor of an initial business combination in
order to have our initial business combination approved (assuming all outstanding shares are voted and the over-allotment option is not exercised). Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their public shares irrespective of whether
they vote for or against the proposed transaction. 
 Pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, if we do not
complete our initial business combination within the completion window, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no 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 (net of
permitted withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the
right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve,
subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Our initial stockholders have entered into agreements with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive
their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their founder shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the completion window. However, if our initial stockholders or management team
acquire public shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such public shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed
time period. 
 In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company after a business combination, our stockholders 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 common stock. Our stockholders have no
preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock, except that we will provide our public stockholders 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 (net of permitted withdrawals), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, upon the completion of our
initial business combination, subject to the limitations described herein.

 Description of Warrants 

1. Public Shareholders’ Warrants 

Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to
adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering and 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination, provided in each case that we have an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or we permit holders to exercise their warrants on a
cashless basis under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement) and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. Pursuant to the warrant
agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Class A common stock. 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 common stock 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 common stock 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. No warrant will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue a share of
Class A common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless the share of Class A common stock 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 warrants issued to our Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of working capital loans, provided that such conversion of founder shares will never occur on a less
than one-for-one basis. 
 With certain limited
exceptions, the founder shares are not transferable, assignable or salable (except to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with our Sponsor, each of whom will be subject to 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
share of Class A common stock underlying such unit. 
 We have agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen
(15) business days after the closing of our initial business combination, we will use our best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A common stock issuable upon
exercise of the warrants. We will use our best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in
accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60th) business day after the closing of
our 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. Notwithstanding the above, if our Class A common stock 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, and in the event we do not so elect, we will use
our best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

 Redemption of warrants for cash 

Once the warrants become exercisable, we may call the warrants for redemption for cash: 

 

	 	•	 	 in whole and not in part; 

 

	 	•	 	 at a price of $0.01 per warrant; 

 

	 	•	 	 upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption
(the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and 

  

	 	•	 	 if, and only if, the closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock
splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before we send to the notice of
redemption to the warrant holders. 

 If and when the warrants become redeemable by us for cash, we may exercise our
redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. 

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 common stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50
warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued. 
 Redemption procedures and cashless exercise 

If we call the warrants for redemption as described above, our management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise his, her or its
warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis,” our management will consider, among other factors, our cash position, the number of warrants
that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on our stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of our warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, all holders of
warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A common stock underlying the
warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of our Class A common stock (defined below) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market

  
 5 

 
value” will mean the average closing price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is
sent to the holders of warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of Class A common stock to be received upon exercise of the
warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a warrant redemption. We believe this feature is
an attractive option to us if we do not need the cash from the exercise of the warrants after our initial business combination. If we call our warrants for redemption and our management does not take advantage of this option, the holders of the
private placement warrants and their permitted transferees would still be entitled to exercise their private placement warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that other warrant holders would have been
required to use had all warrant holders been required to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, as described in more detail below. 

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 4.9% or 9.8% (as
specified by the holder) of the Class A common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. 
 If the number of
outstanding shares of Class A common stock is increased by a share capitalization payable in shares of Class A common stock, or by a split-up of common stock or other similar event, then,
on the effective date of such share capitalization, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion
to such increase in the outstanding shares of common stock. A rights offering to holders of common stock entitling holders to purchase Class A common stock at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a share capitalization of a
number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Class A common stock 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 common stock) and (ii) one minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of Class A common stock paid in such rights offering and (y) the fair market value. For these purposes
(i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Class A common stock, in determining the price payable for Class A common stock, 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) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of shares of Class A common stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day
period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the Class A common stock trades on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights. 

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 the holders of Class A common stock on account of such Class A common stock (or other securities into which the warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above, (b) certain ordinary cash dividends,
(c) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of Class A common stock in connection with a proposed initial business combination or extension of the time period in which we must complete an initial business combination, or
(d) 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 share of Class A common stock in respect of such event. 

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

 Whenever the number of shares of Class A common stock 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 shares of
Class A common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Class A common stock so purchasable immediately thereafter. 

In addition, if (x) we issue additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in
connection with the closing of our initial business combination, at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (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 initial stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by our initial stockholders 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 common stock 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, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under “Redemption of warrants for cash” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued
Price. 
 In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Class A common stock (other than those described above
or that solely affects the par value of such Class A common stock), 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 common stock), 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
common stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of Class A common stock 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. If
less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of Class A common stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of Class A common stock 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 Warrant 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 warrants will be 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 to correct any
defective provision or 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 Prospectus, (ii) adjusting the provisions relating to cash
dividends on shares of common stock 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 50% of the then-outstanding public
warrants is required to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants, and, solely with respect to any amendment to the terms of the private placement warrants, 50% of the then outstanding private
placement warrants. You should review a copy of the warrant agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which the Prospectus is a part, for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the
warrants. 
 The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of
the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank
check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive Class A common stock.
After the issuance of Class A common stock 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 stockholders. 

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. 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 shares of Class A common stock 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 our
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. 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. 
 2. Private Placement Warrants 

The private placement warrants (including the Class A common stock 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, among other limited exceptions as described under 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 for cash so long as they are held by the initial stockholders or their permitted transferees. The initial purchasers, or their permitted transferees, have
the option to exercise the private placement warrants on a cashless basis. Except as described in this section, the private placement warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the warrants being sold as part of the units in
the Initial Public Offering, including that they may be redeemed for shares of Class A common stock. If the private placement warrants are held by holders other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the private placement
warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units being sold in Initial Public Offering.

 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 shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A common stock
underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of our Class A common stock (defined below) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” will
mean the average closing price of the Class A common stock 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 the initial purchasers or 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 prohibit 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 stockholders who could exercise their warrants and sell the shares of Class A common stock 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 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. 
 Our initial stockholders have agreed not to
transfer, assign or sell any of the private placement warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of any of these warrants) until the date that is 30 days after the date we complete our initial business combination,
except that, among other limited exceptions as described in our Prospectus transfers can be made to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the Sponsor.
