Exhibit 4.4

 

WARRANT
AGREEMENT

 

THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT
(this “Agreement”), dated as of January __, 2021, is by and between VectoIQ Acquisition Corp. II,
a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New
York corporation, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent” and, in its capacity as transfer agent, referred
to herein as the “Transfer Agent”).

 

WHEREAS, on January __, 2021, the Company entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement with VectoIQ Holdings II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the
 “Sponsor”), pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to purchase an aggregate of 900,000 units (the “Private
Placement Units”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit. Each Private Placement Unit is comprised
of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (as defined below) and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant (each whole warrant,
a “Private Placement Warrant”), bearing the legend set forth in Exhibit B hereto, in a private
placement transaction to occur simultaneously with the closing of the Offering. Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder
thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock (as defined below) at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described
herein;

 

WHEREAS, in order to finance the
Company’s transaction costs in connection with an intended initial merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock
purchase, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar business combination involving the Company and one or more
businesses (a “Business Combination”), the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the
Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as the Company may require, of
which up to $1,500,000 of such loans made to the Company may be convertible into units at a price of $10.00 per unit (the
 “Working Capital Units”), each Working Capital Unit comprised of one share of the Company’s
Common Stock and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant (the “Working Capital Warrants”);

 

WHEREAS, the Company
is engaged in an initial public offering (the “Offering”) of units of the Company’s equity securities,
each such unit comprised of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common
Stock”), and one-fifth of one redeemable Public Warrant (as defined below) (the “Public Units”
and together with the Private Placement Units and the Working Capital Units, the “Units”) and, in connection
therewith, has determined to issue and deliver 6,000,000 warrants (or up to 6,900,000 warrants if the Over-allotment Option (as
defined below) is exercised in full) to public investors in the Offering (the “Public Warrants” and,
together with the Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants, the “Warrants”). Each
whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as
described herein. Only whole Warrants are exercisable. A holder of the Public Warrants will not be able to exercise any fraction
of a Warrant;

 

WHEREAS, the Company
has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on
Form S-1 (File No. 333-251510) and a prospectus (the “Prospectus”), for the registration under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the Public Units and the Public Warrants
and the Common Stock included in the Public Units;

 

WHEREAS, the Company
desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing to so act, in connection with the issuance,
registration, transfer, exchange, redemption and exercise of the Warrants;

 

WHEREAS, the Company
desires to provide for the form and provisions of the Warrants, the terms upon which they shall be issued and exercised, and the
respective rights, limitation of rights, and immunities of the Company, the Warrant Agent, and the holders of the Warrants; and

 

WHEREAS, all acts and
things have been done and performed which are necessary to make the Warrants, when executed on behalf of the Company and countersigned
by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent (if a physical certificate is issued), as provided herein, the valid, binding and legal obligations
of the Company, and to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

 

    1 

     

    

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.           Appointment
of Warrant Agent.

 

The Company hereby
appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company for the Warrants, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment
and agrees to perform the same in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

 

2.           Warrants.

 

2.1          Form of
Warrant. Each Warrant shall initially be issued in registered form only.

 

2.2          Effect
of Countersignature. If a physical certificate is issued, unless and until countersigned by the Warrant Agent pursuant to
this Agreement, a Warrant certificate shall be invalid and of no effect and may not be exercised by the holder thereof.

 

2.3          Registration.

 

2.3.1        Warrant
Register. The Warrant Agent shall maintain books (the “Warrant Register”) for the registration of
original issuance and the registration of transfer of the Warrants. Upon the initial issuance of the Warrants in book entry form,
the Warrant Agent shall issue and register the Warrants in the names of the respective holders thereof in such denominations and
otherwise in accordance with instructions delivered to the Warrant Agent by the Company. Ownership of beneficial interests in
the Public Warrants shall be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership shall be effected through, records maintained by institutions
that have accounts with The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”) (such institution, with respect
to a Warrant in its account, a “Participant”).

 

If the Depositary subsequently
ceases to make its book-entry settlement system available for the Public Warrants, the Company may instruct the Warrant Agent regarding
making other arrangements for book-entry settlement. In the event that the Public Warrants are not eligible for, or it is no longer
necessary to have the Public Warrants available in, book-entry form, the Warrant Agent shall provide written instructions to the
Depositary to deliver to the Warrant Agent for cancellation each book-entry Public Warrant, and the Company shall instruct the
Warrant Agent to deliver to the Depositary definitive certificates in physical form evidencing such Warrants (“Definitive
Warrant Certificates”) which shall be in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A.

 

Physical certificates,
if issued, shall be signed by, or bear the facsimile signature of, the President, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial
Officer, the Secretary or other principal officer of the Company. In the event the person whose facsimile signature has been placed
upon any Warrant shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Warrant before such Warrant is issued,
it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance.

 

2.3.2        Registered
Holder. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and
treat the person in whose name such Warrant is registered in the Warrant Register (the “Registered Holder”)
as the absolute owner of such Warrant and of each Warrant represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other
writing on any physical certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Warrant Agent), for the purpose of any exercise
thereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

2.4          Detachability
of Warrants. The Common Stock and Public Warrants comprising the Public Units shall begin separate trading on the 52nd day
following the date of the Prospectus or, if such 52nd day is not on a day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday, on
which banks in New York City are generally open for normal business (a “Business Day”), then on the
immediately succeeding Business Day following such date, or earlier (the “Detachment Date”) with the
consent of Cowen and Company, LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters, but in
no event shall the Common Stock and the Public Warrants comprising the Public Units be separately traded until (A) the Company
has filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Commission containing an audited balance sheet reflecting the receipt by
the Company of the gross proceeds of the Offering, including the proceeds received by the Company from the exercise by the underwriters
of their right to purchase additional Public Units in the Offering (the “Over-allotment Option”), if
the Over-allotment Option is exercised prior to the filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K, and (B) the Company issues
a press release announcing when such separate trading shall begin.

 

    2 

     

    

 

2.5          No
Fractional Warrants Other Than as Part of Units. The Company shall not issue fractional Warrants other than as part of
the Units, each of which is comprised of one share of Common Stock and one-fifth of one Warrant. If, upon the detachment of Warrants
from the Units or otherwise, a holder of Warrants would be entitled to receive a fractional Warrant, the Company shall round down
to the nearest whole number the number of Warrants to be issued to such holder.

 

2.6          Private
Placement Warrants; Working Capital Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants shall be identical
to the Public Warrants, except that so long as they are held by the Sponsor or their Permitted Transferees (as defined below)
the Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants: (i) may be exercised for cash or on a “cashless basis,”
pursuant to subsection 3.3.1(c) hereof, (ii) including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Private Placement Warrants or the Working Capital Warrants, may not be transferred, assigned or sold until the date that is thirty
(30) days after the completion by the Company of an initial Business Combination, and (iii) shall not be redeemable by the
Company; provided, however, that in the case of clause (ii), the Private Placement Warrants, the Working Capital
Warrants and any shares of Common Stock held by the Sponsor or its Permitted Transferees that are issued upon exercise of the
Private Placement Warrants or Working Capital Warrants may be transferred by the holders thereof:

 

(a)            to
any persons or entities (including their affiliates and members) participating in the private placement of the Private Placement
Units;

 

(b)            to
the Company’s directors or officers, any affiliates or family members of any of the Company’s directors or officers,
any members of the Sponsor or any affiliates of the Sponsor;

 

(c)            in
the case of an entity, as a distribution to its partners, stockholders or members upon liquidation;

 

(d)            in
the case of an individual, by gift to a member of such individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which
is a member of such individual’s immediate family, for estate planning purposes or to a charitable organization;

 

(e)            in
the case of an individual, by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death of such individual;

 

(f)            in
the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order;

 

(g)            by
certain pledges to secure obligations incurred in connection with purchases of the Company’s securities;

 

(h)            by
private sales or transfers made in connection with the consummation of an initial Business Combination at prices no greater than
the price at which the securities were originally purchased;

 

(i)             in
the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination;

 

(j)            to
the Company for no value for cancellation in connection with the completion of its initial Business Combination; or

 

(k)            in
the event of the Company’s liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction which
results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities
or other property subsequent to the Company’s completion of its initial Business Combination;

 

provided, however, that,
in each case of clauses (a) through (h), these transferees (the “Permitted Transferees”) must enter
into a written agreement with the Company agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions in this Agreement.

 

    3 

     

    

 

3.           Terms
and Exercise of Warrants.

 

3.1          Warrant
Price. Each Warrant shall entitle the Registered Holder thereof, subject to the provisions of such Warrant and of this Agreement,
to purchase from the Company the number of shares of Common Stock stated therein, at the price of $11.50 per share, subject to
the adjustments provided in Section 4 hereof and in the last sentence of this Section 3.1. The term “Warrant
Price” as used in this Agreement shall mean the price per share (including in cash or by payment of Warrants pursuant
to a “cashless exercise,” to the extent permitted hereunder) at which shares of Common Stock may be purchased at the
time a Warrant is exercised. The Company in its sole discretion may lower the Warrant Price (including by allowing “cashless
exercise”) at any time prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below) for a period of not less than twenty (20) Business
Days, provided, that the Company shall provide at least twenty (20) Business Days prior written notice of such reduction to Registered
Holders of the Warrants and, provided further that any such reduction shall be identical among all of the Warrants.

 

3.2          Duration
of Warrants. A Warrant may be exercised only during the period (the “Exercise Period”) (A) commencing
on the later of: (i) the date that is thirty (30) days after the first date on which the Company completes a Business Combination,
and (ii) the date that is twelve (12) months from the date of the closing of the Offering, and (B) terminating at 5:00
p.m., New York City time on the earliest to occur of (x) the date that is five (5) years after the date on which the
Company completes its initial Business Combination, (y) the liquidation of the Company in accordance with the Company’s
amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended from time to time, or (z) other than with respect to the Private
Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants to the extent then held by the Sponsor or its Permitted Transferees, the Redemption
Date (as defined below) as provided in Section 6.3 hereof (the “Expiration Date”);
provided, however, that the exercise of any Warrant shall be subject to the satisfaction of any applicable conditions,
as set forth in subsection 3.3.2 below, with respect to an effective registration statement or a valid exemption therefrom
being available. Except with respect to the right to receive the Redemption Price (as defined below) (other than with respect
to a Private Placement Warrant or a Working Capital Warrant then held by the Sponsor or its Permitted Transferees) in the event
of a redemption (as set forth in Section 6 hereof), each Warrant (other than a Private Placement Warrant or a Working
Capital Warrant then held by the Sponsor or its Permitted Transferees in the event of a redemption) not exercised on or before
the Expiration Date shall become null and void, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement
shall cease at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. The Company in its sole discretion may extend the duration
of the Warrants by delaying the Expiration Date; provided, that the Company shall provide at least twenty (20) days prior
written notice of any such extension to Registered Holders of the Warrants and, provided further that any such extension shall
be identical in duration among all the Warrants.

 

3.3          Exercise
of Warrants.

 

3.3.1        Payment.
Subject to the provisions of the Warrant and this Agreement, a Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder thereof by delivering
to the Warrant Agent at its corporate trust department (i) the Definitive Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrants to be
exercised, or, in the case of a Warrant represented by a book-entry, the Warrants to be exercised (the “Book-Entry
Warrants”) on the records of the Depositary to an account of the Warrant Agent at the Depositary designated
for such purposes in writing by the Warrant Agent to the Depositary from time to time, (ii) an election to purchase (“Election
to Purchase”) any share of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant, properly completed and executed by
the Registered Holder on the reverse of the Definitive Warrant Certificate or, in the case of a Book-Entry Warrant, properly delivered
by the Participant in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures, and (iii) the payment in full of the Warrant Price
for each share of Common Stock as to which the Warrant is exercised and any and all applicable taxes due in connection with the
exercise of the Warrant, the exchange of the Warrant for the shares of Common Stock and the issuance of such shares of Common Stock,
as follows:

 

(a)            in
lawful money of the United States, in good certified check or wire payable to the Warrant Agent;

 

(b)            in
the event of a redemption pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof in which the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”)
has elected to require all holders of the Warrants to exercise such Warrants on a “cashless basis,” by surrendering
the Warrants for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the
product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “Fair Market Value”
(as defined in this subsection 3.3.1(b)) over the Warrant Price by (y) the Fair Market Value and (B) 0.361. Solely
for purposes of this subsection 3.3.1(b), Section 6.2 and Section 6.4, the “Fair Market
Value” shall mean the average last reported sale price of the Common Stock for the ten (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 the Warrants, pursuant to
Section 6 hereof;

 

    4 

     

    

 

(c)            with
respect to any Private Placement Warrant or Working Capital Warrant, so long as such Private Placement Warrant or Working Capital
Warrant is held by the Sponsor or its Permitted Transferees, by surrendering the Warrants for that number of shares of Common Stock
equal (i) if in connection with a redemption of Private Placement Warrants or Working Capital Warrants pursuant to Section 6.2
hereof, as provided in Section 6.2 hereof with respect to a Make-Whole Exercise (as defined below) and (ii) in
all other scenarios, to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying
the Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “Sponsor Exercise Fair Market Value”, as defined in this subsection
3.3.1(c), over the Warrant Price by (y) the Sponsor Exercise Fair Market Value. Solely for purposes of this subsection
3.3.1(c), the “Sponsor Exercise Fair Market Value” shall mean the average last reported sale price
of the Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which notice of exercise
of the Private Placement Warrant or Working Capital Warrant is sent to the Warrant Agent;

 

(d)           on
a cashless basis, as provided in Section 6.2 hereof with respect to a Make-Whole Exercise; or

 

(e)            on
a cashless basis, as provided in Section 7.4 hereof.

 

3.3.2        Issuance
of Shares of Common Stock upon Exercise. As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant and the clearance of the
funds in payment of the Warrant Price (if payment is pursuant to subsection 3.3.1(a)), the Company shall issue to the Registered
Holder of such Warrant a book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which
he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it, and if such Warrant shall not
have been exercised in full, a new book-entry position or countersigned Warrant, as applicable, for the number of shares of Common
Stock as to which such Warrant shall not have been exercised. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated
to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant and shall have no obligation to settle such Warrant
exercise unless (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying
the Public Warrants is then effective and (b) a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company’s satisfying
its obligations under Section 7.4 or a valid exemption from registration being available. No Warrant shall be exercisable
and the Company shall not be obligated to issue shares of Common Stock upon exercise of a Warrant unless the Common Stock issuable
upon such Warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt from registration or qualification under the securities
laws of the state of residence of the Registered Holder of the Warrants. Subject to Section 4.6 of this Agreement,
a Registered Holder of Public Warrants may exercise its Public Warrants only for a whole number of shares of Common Stock. The
Company may require holders of Public Warrants to settle the Warrant on a “cashless basis” pursuant to Section 7.4.
If, by reason of any exercise of Warrants on a “cashless basis”, the holder of any Warrant would be entitled, upon
the exercise of such Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round down to the
nearest whole number, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to such holder.

 

3.3.3        Valid
Issuance. All shares of Common Stock issued upon the proper exercise of a Warrant in conformity with this Agreement shall be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

3.3.4        Date
of Issuance. Each person in whose name any book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for shares of Common Stock is
issued shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock on the date on which
the Warrant, or book-entry position representing such Warrant, was surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price was made, irrespective
of the date of delivery of such certificate in the case of a certificated Warrant, except that, if the date of such surrender and
payment is a date when the share transfer books of the Company or book-entry system of the Warrant Agent are closed, such person
shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares of Common Stock at the close of business on the next succeeding date on
which the share transfer books or book-entry system are open.

 

    5 

     

    

 

3.3.5        Maximum
Percentage. A holder of a Warrant may notify the Company in writing in the event he, she or it elects to be subject to the
provisions contained in this subsection 3.3.5; however, no holder of a Warrant shall be subject to this subsection
3.3.5 unless he, she or it makes such election. If the election is made by a holder, the Warrant Agent shall not effect the
exercise of the holder’s Warrant, and such holder shall 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) (the “Maximum
Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes
of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such person and his, her or its
affiliates or any such other person or group shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock that
would be issuable upon (x) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of the Warrant beneficially owned by such person
and his, her or its affiliates and (y) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities
of the Company beneficially owned by such person and his, her or its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible
notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation
contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be
calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”). For purposes of the Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the holder
may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Annual Report
on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Commission
as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the
Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written request
of the holder of the Warrant, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days, confirm orally and in writing to such holder
the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be
determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of equity securities of the Company by the holder and his, her or
its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to
the Company, the holder of a Warrant may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage applicable to such holder
to any other percentage specified in such notice; provided, however, that any such increase shall not be effective
until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company.

 

4.           Adjustments.

 

4.1          Stock
Dividends.

 

4.1.1        Split-Ups.
If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 below, the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock is increased by a stock capitalization or stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a split-up of shares
of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock capitalization or stock dividend, split-up or
similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such
increase in the outstanding shares of Common Stock. A rights offering to holders of the Common Stock entitling holders to purchase
shares of Common Stock at a price less than the “Historical Fair Market Value” (as defined below) shall be deemed
a stock dividend of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of 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 the Common Stock) and (ii) one (1) minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of Common
Stock paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the Historical Fair Market Value. For purposes of this subsection 4.1.1,
(i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, in determining the price payable
for Common Stock, there shall 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 the Common Stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first
date on which the shares of Common Stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the
right to receive such rights. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued at less than their par value.

 

    6 

     

    

 

4.1.2        Extraordinary
Dividends. If the Company, at any time while the Warrants are outstanding and unexpired, shall pay a dividend or make a distribution
in cash, securities or other assets to all or substantially all of the holders of the Common Stock on account of such shares of
Common Stock (or other shares of the Company’s capital stock into which the Warrants are convertible), other than (a) as
described in subsection 4.1.1 above, (b) Ordinary Cash Dividends (as defined below), (c) to satisfy the redemption
rights of the holders of the Common Stock in connection with a proposed initial Business Combination, (d) to satisfy the
redemption rights of the holders of Common Stock in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and
restated certificate of incorporation to (i) modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption
in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the shares of Common Stock included in
the Units sold in the Offering if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within the time period set forth
in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended from time to time or (ii) with respect
to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity or (e) in connection
with the redemption of the shares of Common Stock included in the Units sold in the Offering upon the failure of the Company to
complete its initial Business Combination and any subsequent distribution of its assets upon its liquidation (any such non-excluded
event being referred to herein as an “Extraordinary Dividend”), then the Warrant Price shall be decreased,
effective immediately after the effective date of such Extraordinary Dividend, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value
(as determined by the Board in good faith) of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Common Stock in respect of
such Extraordinary Dividend. For purposes of this subsection 4.1.2, “Ordinary Cash Dividends”
means any cash dividend or cash distribution which, when combined on a per share basis with the per share amounts of all other
cash dividends and cash distributions paid on the Common Stock during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of
such dividend or distribution (as adjusted to appropriately reflect any of the events referred to in other subsections of this
Section 4 and excluding cash dividends or cash distributions that resulted in an adjustment to the Warrant Price or
to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant) does not exceed $0.50 (being 5% of the offering
price of the Units in the Offering).

 

4.2          Aggregation
of Shares. If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 hereof, the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Common
Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification
or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to
such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

4.3          Adjustments
in Exercise Price.

 

4.3.1        Whenever
the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is adjusted, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted
(to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator
of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such
adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

 

4.3.2        If
(x) the Company issues additional shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for
shares of Common Stock for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue
price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Common Stock, with such issue price or effective issue price to
be determined in good faith by the Board (and in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking
into account any shares of Class B common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B
common stock”), held by the Sponsor or its 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 an initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of
such initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Stock
during the twenty (20) trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates an initial
Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the Warrant Price 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 prices (as described in Section 6.1) will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal
to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

4.4          Replacement
of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock (other than a change under Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 hereof or that solely affects the par value
of such shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or conversion
of the Company as another entity (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and
that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any
sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of the Company as an entirety or substantially
as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the holders of the Warrants shall 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 shares
of Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented
thereby, the kind and amount of shares of 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 his, her or its Warrant(s) immediately prior to such event (the “Alternative
Issuance”); provided, however, that (i) if the holders of the Common Stock 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 constituting the Alternative Issuance for which each Warrant shall
become exercisable shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the kind and amount received per share by the holders of the
Common Stock in such consolidation or merger that affirmatively make such election, and (ii) if a tender, exchange or redemption
offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of the Common Stock (other than a tender, exchange or redemption offer
made by the Company in connection with redemption rights held by stockholders of the Company as provided for in the Company’s
amended and restated certificate of incorporation or as a result of the repurchase of shares of Common Stock by the Company if
a proposed initial Business Combination is presented to the stockholders 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 (or any successor rule)) 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 (or any successor rule)) 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 (or any successor rule)) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the holder of a Warrant
shall be entitled to receive as the Alternative Issuance, the highest amount of cash, securities or other property to which such
holder would actually have been entitled as a stockholder 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 Common Stock held by such holder had been purchased pursuant
to such tender or exchange offer, subject to adjustments (from and after the consummation of such tender or exchange offer) as
nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4; provided, further,
that if less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of the Common Stock in the applicable event is payable in
the form of 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 properly exercises the Warrant within thirty (30) days following the public disclosure of the consummation of
such applicable event by the Company pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission, the Warrant Price
shall be reduced by an amount (in dollars) (but in no event less than zero) equal to the difference of (i) the Warrant Price
in effect prior to such reduction minus (ii) (A) the Per Share Consideration (as defined below) minus (B) the Black-Scholes
Warrant Value (as defined below). The “Black-Scholes Warrant Value” means the value of a Warrant immediately
prior to the consummation of the applicable event based on the Black-Scholes Warrant Model for a Capped American Call on Bloomberg
Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”). For purposes of calculating such amount, (1) Section 6
of this Agreement shall be taken into account, (2) the price of each share of Common Stock shall be the volume weighted
average price of the Common Stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the
effective date of the applicable event, (3) the assumed volatility shall be the 90 day volatility obtained from the HVT function
on Bloomberg determined as of the trading day immediately prior to the day of the announcement of the applicable event, and (4) the
assumed risk-free interest rate shall correspond to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of the Warrant.
 “Per Share Consideration” means (i) if the consideration paid to holders of the Common Stock consists
exclusively of cash, the amount of such cash per share of Common Stock, and (ii) in all other cases, the volume weighted
average price of the Common Stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the
effective date of the applicable event. If any reclassification or reorganization also results in a change in shares of Common
Stock covered by subsection 4.1.1, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to subsection 4.1.1 or Sections
4.2, 4.3 and this Section 4.4. The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly apply to
successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers. In no event will the Warrant
Price be reduced to less than the par value per share issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.

 

    8 

     

    

 

 

4.5          Notices
of Changes in Warrant. Upon every adjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of a Warrant, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Warrant Agent, which notice shall state the Warrant Price resulting
from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable at such price upon
the exercise of a Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation
is based. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4, the Company
shall give written notice of the occurrence of such event to each holder of a Warrant, at the last address set forth for such
holder in the Warrant Register, of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect
therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.

 

4.6          No
Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not issue
fractional shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants. If, by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4,
the holder of any Warrant would be entitled, upon the exercise of such Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share, the
Company shall, upon such exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to
such holder.

 

4.7          Form of
Warrant. The form of Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4, and Warrants
issued after such adjustment may state the same Warrant Price and the same number of shares of Common Stock as is stated in the
Warrants initially issued pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company may at any time in its sole discretion
make any change in the form of Warrant that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof, and
any Warrant thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant or otherwise, may
be in the form as so changed.

 

4.8          Other
Events. In case any event shall occur affecting the Company as to which none of the provisions of the preceding subsections
of this Section 4 are strictly applicable, but which would require an adjustment to the terms of the Warrants in order
to (i) avoid an adverse impact on the Warrants and (ii) effectuate the intent and purpose of this Section 4,
then, in each such case, the Company shall appoint a firm of independent registered public accountants, investment banking or
other appraisal firm of recognized national standing, which shall give its opinion as to whether or not any adjustment to the
rights represented by the Warrants is necessary to effectuate the intent and purpose of this Section 4 and, if they
determine that an adjustment is necessary, the terms of such adjustment; provided, however, that under no circumstances
shall the Warrants be adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.8 as a result of any issuance of securities in connection
with a Business Combination. The Company shall adjust the terms of the Warrants in a manner that is consistent with any adjustment
recommended in such opinion.

 

4.9          No
Adjustment. For the avoidance of doubt, no adjustment shall be made to the terms of the Warrants solely as a result of an
adjustment to the conversion ratio of the Class B common stock into shares of Common Stock or the conversion of the shares
of Class B common stock into shares of Common Stock, in each case, pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated certificate
of incorporation, as further amended from time to time.

 

5.            Transfer
and Exchange of Warrants.

 

5.1          Registration
of Transfer. The Warrant Agent shall register the transfer, from time to time, of any outstanding Warrant upon the Warrant
Register, upon surrender of such Warrant for transfer, in the case of certificated Warrants, properly endorsed with signatures
properly guaranteed and accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant representing
an equal aggregate number of Warrants shall be issued and the old Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. In the case
of certificated Warrants, the Warrants so cancelled shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company from time to time upon
request.

 

5.2          Procedure
for Surrender of Warrants. Warrants may be surrendered to the Warrant Agent, together with a written request for exchange
or transfer, and thereupon the Warrant Agent shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as requested by the Registered
Holder of the Warrants so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants; provided, however, that except as otherwise
provided herein or with respect to any Book-Entry Warrant, each Book-Entry Warrant may be transferred only in whole and only to
the Depositary, to another nominee of the Depositary, to a successor depository, or to a nominee of a successor depository; provided
further, however that in the event that a Warrant surrendered for transfer bears a restrictive legend (as in the case of the Private
Placement Warrants), the Warrant Agent shall not cancel such Warrant and issue new Warrants in exchange thereof until the Warrant
Agent has received an opinion of counsel for the Company stating that such transfer may be made and indicating whether the new
Warrants must also bear a restrictive legend.

 

    9

     

    

 

5.3          Fractional
Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange which shall result in
the issuance of a warrant certificate or book-entry position for a fraction of a warrant, except as part of the Units.

 

5.4          Service
Charges. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrants.

 

5.5          Warrant
Execution and Countersignature. The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign and to deliver, in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, the Warrants required to be issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5, and the
Company, whenever required by the Warrant Agent, shall supply the Warrant Agent with Warrants duly executed on behalf of the Company
for such purpose.

 

5.6          Transfer
of Warrants. Prior to the Detachment Date, the Public Warrants may be transferred or exchanged only together with the Unit
in which such Warrant is included, and only for the purpose of effecting, or in conjunction with, a transfer or exchange of such
Unit. Furthermore, each transfer of a Unit on the register relating to such Units shall operate also to transfer the Warrants
included in such Unit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 5.6 shall have no effect on any
transfer of Warrants on and after the Detachment Date.

 

6.            Redemption.

 

6.1          Redemption
of Warrants When the Price per Share of Common Stock Equals or Exceeds $18.00. Subject to Section 6.5 hereof,
not less than all of the outstanding Warrants may be redeemed, at the option of the Company, at any time during the Exercise Period,
at the office of the Warrant Agent, upon notice to the Registered Holders of the Warrants, as described in Section 6.3
below, at a Redemption Price of $0.01 per Warrant, provided that (a) the Reference Value (as defined below) equals or
exceeds $18.00 per share (subject to adjustment in compliance with Section 4 hereof) and (b) there is an effective
registration statement covering the issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and a current
prospectus relating thereto, available throughout the 30-day Redemption Period (as defined in Section 6.3 below) or
the Company has elected to require the exercise of the Warrants on a “cashless basis” pursuant to subsection 3.3.1.

 

6.2          Redemption
of Warrants When the Price per Share of Common Stock Equals or Exceeds $10.00. Subject to Section 6.5 hereof,
not less than all of the outstanding Warrants may be redeemed, at the option of the Company, at any time during the Exercise Period,
at the office of the Warrant Agent, upon notice to the Registered Holders of the Warrants, as described in Section 6.3
below, at a Redemption Price of $0.10 per Warrant, provided that (a) the Reference Value equals or exceeds $10.00 per
share (subject to adjustment in compliance with Section 4 hereof) and (b) there is an effective registration
statement covering the issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and a current prospectus
relating thereto, available throughout the 30-day Redemption Period (as defined in Section 6.3 below). During the
30-day Redemption Period in connection with a redemption pursuant to this Section 6.2, Registered Holders of the Warrants
may elect to exercise their Warrants on a “cashless basis” pursuant to subsection 3.3.1 and receive a number
of shares of Common Stock determined by reference to the table below, based on the Redemption Date (calculated for purposes of
the table as the period to expiration of the Warrants) and the “Redemption Fair Market Value” (as such term is defined
in this Section 6.2) (a “Make-Whole Exercise”). Solely for purposes of this Section 6.2,
the “Redemption Fair Market Value” shall mean the volume weighted average price of the shares of Common
Stock for the ten (10) trading days immediately following the date on which notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 6.2
is sent to the Registered Holders. In connection with any redemption pursuant to this Section 6.2, the Company
shall provide the Registered Holders with the Redemption Fair Market Value no later than one (1) Business Day after the ten
(10) trading day period described above ends.

The exact Redemption
Fair Market Value and Redemption Date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case, if the Redemption 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 shares of
Common Stock to be issued for each Warrant exercised in a Make-Whole Exercise will be determined by a straight-line interpolation
between the number of shares set forth for the higher and lower Redemption Fair Market Values and the earlier and later redemption
dates, as applicable, based on a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable.

 

The stock prices set forth in the column
headings of the table above shall be adjusted as of any date on which the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant
is adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof. In the event of a Warrant Price adjustment pursuant to Section 4.3.1,
the adjusted stock prices in the column headings shall equal the stock 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 above shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the number of shares issuable upon exercise
of a Warrant. In no event will the number of shares issued in connection with a Make-Whole Exercise exceed 0.361 shares of Common
Stock per Warrant (subject to adjustment).

 

6.3          Date
Fixed for, and Notice of, Redemption; Redemption Price; Reference Value. In the event that the Company elects to redeem the
Warrants, pursuant to Sections 6.1 or 6.2, the Company shall fix a date for the redemption (the “Redemption
Date”). Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by the Company not less than
thirty (30) days prior to the Redemption Date (the “30-day Redemption Period”) to the Registered Holders
of the Warrants to be redeemed at their last addresses as they shall appear on the registration books. Any notice mailed in the
manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the Registered Holder received such
notice. As used in this Agreement, (a) “Redemption Price” shall mean the price per Warrant at which
any Warrants are redeemed pursuant to Sections 6.1 or 6.2 and (b) “Reference Value”
shall mean the last reported sales price of the shares of Common Stock for any twenty (20) trading days within the thirty (30)
trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which notice of the redemption is given.

 

    11

     

    

 

6.4          Exercise
After Notice of Redemption. The Warrants may be exercised, for cash (or on a “cashless basis” in accordance with
subsection 3.3.1(b) or Section 6.2 of this Agreement) at any time after notice of redemption shall have
been given by the Company pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof and prior to the Redemption Date. In the event that the Company
determines to require all holders of Warrants to exercise their Warrants on a “cashless basis” pursuant to subsection
3.3.1, the notice of redemption shall contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of Common Stock
to be received upon exercise of the Warrants, including the Fair Market Value (as such term is defined in subsection 3.3.1(b) hereof)
in such case. On and after the Redemption Date, the record holder of the Warrants shall have no further rights except to receive,
upon surrender of the Warrants, the Redemption Price.

 

6.5          Exclusion
of Private Placement Warrants; Working Capital Warrants. The Company agrees that the redemption rights provided in Sections
6.1 and 6.2 hereof shall not apply to the Private Placement Warrants or the Working Capital Warrants if at the time
of the redemption such Private Placement Warrants or Working Capital Warrants continue to be held by the Sponsor or its Permitted
Transferees. However, once such Private Placement Warrants or Working Capital Warrants are transferred (other than to Permitted
Transferees in accordance with Section 2.6 hereof), the Company may redeem the Private Placement Warrants and the
Working Capital Warrants pursuant to Sections 6.1 or 6.2 hereof, provided that the criteria for redemption are met,
including the opportunity of the holder of such Private Placement Warrants or Working Capital Warrants to exercise the Private
Placement Warrants or Working Capital Warrants prior to redemption pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof. Private Placement
Warrants that are transferred to persons other than Permitted Transferees shall upon such transfer cease to be Private Placement
Warrants and Working Capital Warrants that are transferred to persons other than Permitted Transferees shall, upon such transfer,
cease to be Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants, and shall become Public Warrants under this Agreement, including
for purposes of Section 9.8 hereof.

 

7.             Other
Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Warrants.

 

7.1          No
Rights as Stockholder. A Warrant does not entitle the Registered Holder thereof to any of the rights of a stockholder of the
Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights
to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of the meetings of stockholders or the election of directors
of the Company or any other matter.

 

7.2          Lost,
Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Warrants. If any Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Company and the Warrant
Agent may on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as they may in their discretion impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated
Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination, tenor, and date as the Warrant so lost, stolen,
mutilated, or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or
not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

 

7.3          Reservation
of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued shares
of Common Stock that shall be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement.

 

7.4          Registration
of Common Stock; Cashless Exercise at Company’s Option.

 

7.4.1            Registration
of the Common Stock. The Company agrees that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than twenty (20) Business Days
after the closing of its initial Business Combination, it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission
a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the Warrants. The Company shall use its 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 or redemption of the Warrants
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. If any such registration statement has not been declared effective by the
ninetieth (90th) Business Day following the closing of the Business Combination, holders of the Warrants shall have
the right, during the period beginning on the ninety-first (91st) Business Day after the closing of the Business Combination
and ending upon such registration statement being declared effective by the Commission, and during any other period when the Company
shall fail to have maintained an effective registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants, to exercise such Warrants on a “cashless basis,” pursuant to subsection 3.3.1, by exchanging
the Warrants (in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act (or any successor rule) or another exemption)
for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product
of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “Fair Market Value”
(as defined below) over the Warrant Price by (y) the Fair Market Value and (B) 0.361. Solely for purposes of this subsection
7.4.1, “Fair Market Value” shall mean the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock as reported
during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the date that notice of exercise is received by
the Warrant Agent from the holder of such Warrants or his, her or its securities broker or intermediary. The date that notice
of cashless exercise is received by the Warrant Agent shall be conclusively determined by the Warrant Agent. In connection with
the “cashless exercise” of a Public Warrant, the Company shall, upon request, provide the Warrant Agent with an opinion
of counsel for the Company (which shall be an outside law firm with securities law experience) stating that (i) the exercise
of the Warrants on a cashless basis in accordance with this subsection 7.4.1 is not required to be registered under the
Securities Act and (ii) the shares of Common Stock issued upon such exercise shall be freely tradable under United States
federal securities laws by anyone who is not an affiliate (as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or
any successor statute)) of the Company and, accordingly, shall not be required to bear a restrictive legend. Except as provided
in subsection 7.4.2, for the avoidance of doubt, unless and until all of the Warrants have been exercised or have expired,
the Company shall continue to be obligated to comply with its registration obligations under the first three sentences of this
subsection 7.4.1.

 

    12

     

    

 

7.4.2            Cashless
Exercise at Company’s Option. If the Common Stock is at the time of any exercise of a Warrant not listed on a national
securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of
the Securities Act (or any successor statute), the Company may, at its option, (i) require holders of Public Warrants who
exercise Public Warrants to exercise such Public Warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of
the Securities Act (or any successor statute) as described in subsection 7.4.1 and (ii) in the event the Company so
elects, the Company shall (x) not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement for the registration,
under the Securities Act, of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary and (y) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify for sale the Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Public Warrant under applicable blue sky laws of the state of residence of the holder to the extent an exemption
is not available.

 

8.            Concerning
the Warrant Agent and Other Matters.

 

8.1          Payment
of Taxes. The Company shall from time to time promptly pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company or the
Warrant Agent in respect of the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants, but the Company
shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in respect of the Warrants or such shares of Common Stock.

 

8.2          Resignation,
Consolidation, or Merger of Warrant Agent.

 

8.2.1            Appointment
of Successor Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may resign its duties and be discharged
from all further duties and liabilities hereunder after giving sixty (60) days’ notice in writing to the Company. If the
office of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall appoint in writing
a successor Warrant Agent in place of the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of
thirty (30) days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the Warrant Agent or by the holder
of a Warrant (who shall, with such notice, submit his, her or its Warrant for inspection by the Company), then the holder of any
Warrant may apply to the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York for the appointment of a successor
Warrant Agent at the Company’s cost. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such court, shall
be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York, in good standing and having its principal office
in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and
subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. After appointment, any successor Warrant Agent shall be vested
with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like effect
as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but if for any reason it becomes necessary
or appropriate, the predecessor Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument transferring
to such successor Warrant Agent all the authority, powers, and rights of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and upon request
of any successor Warrant Agent the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all instruments in writing for
more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities,
duties, and obligations.

 

    13

     

    

 

8.2.2            Notice
of Successor Warrant Agent. In the event a successor Warrant Agent shall be appointed, the Company shall give notice thereof
to the predecessor Warrant Agent and the Transfer Agent for the Common Stock not later than the effective date of any such appointment.

 

8.2.3            Merger
or Consolidation of Warrant Agent. Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated
or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party shall be the successor
Warrant Agent under this Agreement without any further act.

 

8.3          Fees
and Expenses of Warrant Agent.

 

8.3.1            Remuneration.
The Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent reasonable remuneration for its services as such Warrant Agent hereunder and shall,
pursuant to its obligations under this Agreement, reimburse the Warrant Agent upon demand for all expenditures that the Warrant
Agent may reasonably incur in the execution of its duties hereunder.

 

8.3.2            Further
Assurances. The Company agrees to perform, execute, acknowledge, and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged,
and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments, and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Warrant Agent
for the carrying out or performing of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

8.4          Liability
of Warrant Agent.

 

8.4.1            Reliance
on Company Statement. Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary
or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder,
such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively
proved and established by a statement signed by the President, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Secretary
or the Chairman of the Board of the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may rely upon such statement
for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

8.4.2            Indemnity.
The Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or bad faith. The Company
agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, out-of-pocket
costs and reasonable outside counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Agreement,
except as a result of the Warrant Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or bad faith.

 

8.4.3            Exclusions.
The Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the validity of this Agreement or with respect to the validity
or execution of any Warrant (except its countersignature thereof). The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any breach by
the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any Warrant. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible
to make any adjustments required under the provisions of Section 4 hereof or responsible for the manner, method, or
amount of any such adjustment or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such adjustment; nor shall
it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any shares
of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Warrant or as to whether any shares of Common Stock shall, when
issued, be valid and fully paid and non-assessable.

 

8.5          Acceptance
of Agency. The Warrant Agent hereby accepts the agency established by this Agreement and agrees to perform the same upon the
terms and conditions herein set forth and among other things, shall account promptly to the Company with respect to Warrants exercised
and concurrently account for, and pay to the Company, all monies received by the Warrant Agent for the purchase of shares of Common
Stock through the exercise of the Warrants.

 

    14

     

    

 

8.6          Waiver.
The Warrant Agent has no right of set-off or any other right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”)
in, or to any distribution of, the Trust Account (as defined in that certain Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of
the date hereof, by and between the Company and the Warrant Agent as trustee thereunder) and hereby agrees not to seek recourse,
reimbursement, payment or satisfaction for any Claim against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever. The Warrant Agent hereby
waives any and all Claims against the Trust Account and any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account.

 

9.            Miscellaneous

9.3          Applicable
Law. The validity, interpretation, and performance of this Agreement and of the Warrants shall be governed in all respects
by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application

out of or relating in any way to this Agreement may 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 irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction. The Company hereby
waives any objection to such jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.

Warrant Certificate

 

This Warrant Certificate certifies that
                     , or registered
assigns, is the registered holder of                     
warrant(s) evidenced hereby (the “Warrants” and each, a “Warrant”) to purchase shares
of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of VectoIQ Acquisition Corp. II,
a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Each Warrant entitles the holder, upon exercise during the period set
forth in the Warrant Agreement referred to below, to receive from the Company that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares
of Common Stock as set forth below, at the exercise price (the “Exercise Price”) as determined pursuant to the
Warrant Agreement, payable in lawful money (or through “cashless exercise” as provided for in the Warrant Agreement)
of the United States of America upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate and payment of the Exercise Price at the office or agency
of the Warrant Agent referred to below, subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant Agreement. Defined terms
used in this Warrant Certificate but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Warrant Agreement.

 

Each whole Warrant is initially exercisable
for one fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of any Warrant.
If, upon the exercise of Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share of Common Stock, the
Company will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
holder. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence
of certain events as set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

 

The initial Exercise Price per share of
Common Stock for any Warrant is equal to $11.50 per whole share. The Exercise Price is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence
of certain events as set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

 

Subject to the conditions set forth in the
Warrant Agreement, the Warrants may be exercised only during the Exercise Period and to the extent not exercised by the end of
such Exercise Period, such Warrants shall become null and void. The Warrants may be redeemed, subject to certain conditions, as
set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

 

Reference is hereby made to the further
provisions of this Warrant Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof and such further provisions shall for all purposes have
the same effect as though fully set forth at this place.

 

This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid
unless countersigned by the Warrant Agent, as such term is used in the Warrant Agreement.

[Reverse]

 

The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate
are part of a duly authorized issue of Warrants entitling the holder on exercise to receive             
shares of Common Stock and are issued or to be issued pursuant to a Warrant Agreement dated as of [•], 2021 (the “Warrant
Agreement”), duly executed and delivered by the Company to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New
York corporation, as warrant agent (or successor warrant agent) (collectively, the “Warrant Agent”), which Warrant
Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part of this instrument and is hereby referred to for a description
of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Warrant Agent, the Company and the holders
(the words “holders” or “holder” meaning the Registered Holders or Registered Holder, respectively)
of the Warrants. A copy of the Warrant Agreement may be obtained by the holder hereof upon written request to the Company. Defined
terms used in this Warrant Certificate but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Warrant Agreement.

 

Warrants may be exercised at any time during
the Exercise Period set forth in the Warrant Agreement. The holder of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may exercise
them by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the form of Election to Purchase set forth hereon properly completed and executed,
together with payment of the Exercise Price as specified in the Warrant Agreement (or through “cashless exercise” as
provided for in the Warrant Agreement) at the designated office(s) of the Warrant Agent. In the event that upon any exercise
of Warrants evidenced hereby the number of Warrants exercised shall be less than the total number of Warrants evidenced hereby,
there shall be issued to the holder hereof or his, her or its assignee, a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Warrants
not exercised.

 

Notwithstanding anything else in this Warrant
Certificate or the Warrant Agreement, no Warrant may be exercised unless at the time of exercise (i) a registration statement
covering the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise is effective under the Securities Act and (ii) a prospectus
thereunder relating to the shares of Common Stock is current, except through “cashless exercise” as provided for in
the Warrant Agreement.

 

The Warrant Agreement provides that upon
the occurrence of certain events the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants set forth on the face
hereof may, subject to certain conditions, be adjusted. If, upon exercise of a Warrant, the holder thereof would be entitled to
receive a fractional interest in a share of Common Stock, the Company shall, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number
of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the holder of the Warrant.

 

Warrant Certificates, when surrendered at
the designated office(s) of the Warrant Agent by the Registered Holder thereof in person or by legal representative or attorney
duly authorized in writing, may be exchanged, in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, but
without payment of any service charge, for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor evidencing in the
aggregate a like number of Warrants.

 

Upon due presentation for registration of
transfer of this Warrant Certificate at the office(s) of the Warrant Agent a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates
of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants shall be issued to the transferee(s) in exchange for
this Warrant Certificate, subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, without charge except for any tax or other
governmental charges imposed in connection therewith.

 

The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem
and treat the Registered Holder(s) hereof as the absolute owner(s) of this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation
of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone), for the purpose of any exercise hereof, of any distribution to the holder(s) hereof,
and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither
the Warrants nor this Warrant Certificate entitles any holder hereof to any rights of a stockholder of the Company.

Election to Purchase

 

(To Be Executed Upon Exercise of Warrant)

 

The undersigned hereby irrevocably elects
to exercise the right, represented by this Warrant Certificate, to receive             
shares of Common Stock and herewith tenders payment for such shares of Common Stock to the order of VectoIQ Acquisition Corp. II
(the “Company”) in the amount of $                    
in accordance with the terms hereof. The undersigned requests that a certificate for such shares of Common Stock be registered
in the name of                     ,
whose address is                     
and that such shares of Common Stock be delivered to whose address is                     .
If said number of shares of Common Stock is less than all of the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder, the undersigned
requests that a new Warrant Certificate representing the remaining balance of such shares of Common Stock be registered in the
name of                     ,
whose address is                     ,
and that such Warrant Certificate be delivered to                     ,
whose address is                     .

 

In the event that the Warrant has been called
for redemption by the Company pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 of the Warrant Agreement and the Company
has required cashless exercise pursuant to Section 6.4 of the Warrant Agreement, the number of shares of Common Stock
that this Warrant is exercisable for shall be determined in accordance with subsection 3.3.1(b) and Section 6.4
of the Warrant Agreement.

 

In the event that the Warrant is a Private
Placement Warrant that is to be exercised on a “cashless” basis pursuant to subsection 3.3.1(c) of the
Warrant Agreement, the number of shares of Common Stock that this Warrant is exercisable for shall be determined in accordance
with subsection 3.3.1(c) of the Warrant Agreement.

 

In the event that the Warrant is to be exercised
on a “cashless” basis pursuant to Section 7.4 of the Warrant Agreement, the number of shares of Common
Stock that this Warrant is exercisable for shall be determined in accordance with Section 7.4 of the Warrant Agreement.

 

In the event that the Warrant may be exercised,
to the extent allowed by the Warrant Agreement, through cashless exercise (i) the number of shares of Common Stock that this
Warrant is exercisable for would be determined in accordance with the relevant section of the Warrant Agreement which allows for
such cashless exercise and (ii) the holder hereof shall complete the following: The undersigned hereby irrevocably elects
to exercise the right, represented by this Warrant Certificate, through the cashless exercise provisions of the Warrant Agreement,
to receive shares of Common Stock. If said number of shares of Common Stock is less than all of the shares of Common Stock purchasable
hereunder (after giving effect to the cashless exercise), the undersigned requests that a new Warrant Certificate representing
the remaining balance of such shares of Common Stock be registered in the name of                     ,
whose address is                     ,
and that such Warrant Certificate be delivered to                     ,

	Re:	Initial Public Offering

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This
letter (this “Letter Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement
(the “Underwriting Agreement”) by and between VectoIQ Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), and Cowen and Company, LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as the representatives
(the “Representatives”) of the several underwriters named therein (each an “Underwriter”
and collectively, the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “Public
Offering”), of 34,500,000 of the Company’s units (including up to 4,500,000 units that may be purchased to
cover the Underwriters’ option to purchase additional units, if any) (the “Units”), each Unit comprised
of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common
Stock”), and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant (each whole warrant, a “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. The Units will be sold in the Public Offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 and prospectus (the
 “Prospectus”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).
Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 11 hereof.

 

In
order to induce the Company and the Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the Public Offering
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, VectoIQ Holdings
II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and each of the undersigned individuals,
each of whom is a member of the Company’s board of directors and/or management team (each such other undersigned individual,
an “Insider” and collectively, the “Insiders”), hereby agrees, severally but
not jointly, with the Company as follows:

 

1.           The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, then
in connection with such proposed Business Combination, it, he or she shall (i) vote any Shares owned by it, him or her in
favor of any proposed Business Combination (including any proposals recommended by the Company’s Board of Directors in connection
with such Business Combination) and (ii) not redeem any Shares owned by it, him or her in connection with such stockholder
approval. If the Company seeks to consummate a proposed Business Combination by engaging in a tender offer, the Sponsor and each
Insider agrees that it, he or she will not sell any Shares owned by it, him or her in connection therewith.

 

2.           The Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees that in the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within
24 months from the closing of the Public Offering (or 27 months from the closing of the Public Offering if the Company has
executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination within 24 months
from the closing of the Public Offering), or such later period approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with
the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the Sponsor and each Insider shall take all reasonable steps
to cause the Company to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible
but not more than 10 business days thereafter, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the shares of Class
A Common Stock sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering (the “Offering 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 the Company to fund its working capital requirements (subject to a limit
of $250,000 per year) and/or to pay its taxes (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and less up to $100,000 of interest
to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish
all Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any),
subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the
Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case
to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the other requirements of applicable
law. The Sponsor and each Insider agree to not propose any amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of
incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the
Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete its initial
Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering (or 27 months from the closing of the Public Offering
if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination
within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’
rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides its Public Stockholders with the opportunity to
redeem their Offering Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate
amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously
released to the Company to fund its working capital requirements (subject to a limit of $250,000 per year) and/or to pay its taxes
(which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares.

 

    

     

    

 

The
Sponsor and each Insider acknowledges that it, he or she has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any
monies held in the Trust Account or any other asset of the Company as a result of any liquidation of the Company with respect to
the Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares held by it, him or her; provided, that the foregoing waiver shall not apply
with respect to liquidation distributions from the Trust Account made in connection with any Offering Shares purchased by the Sponsor,
any Insider or its, his or her Affiliates in the Public Offering or on the open market after the completion of the Public Offering
if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within 24 months of the completion of the Public Offering (or 27 months
from the closing of the Public Offering if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement
for an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering). The Sponsor and each Insider hereby
further waives, with respect to any Shares held by it, him or her, if any, any redemption rights it, he or she may have in connection
with (x) the consummation of a Business Combination, including, without limitation, any such rights available in the context of
a stockholder vote to approve such Business Combination or in the context of a tender offer made by the Company to purchase shares
of Class A Common Stock and (y) a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate
of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemptions in connection with
the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company has not consummated its
initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering (or 27 months from the closing of the Public
Offering if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial Business
Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’
rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity (although the Sponsor and the Insiders shall be entitled to redemption and
liquidation rights with respect to any Offering Shares it or they hold if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination
within 24 months from the date of the closing of the Public Offering).

 

3.            Notwithstanding
the provisions set forth in paragraphs 7(a) and (b) below, during the period commencing on the effective date of the Underwriting
Agreement and ending 180 days after such date, the Sponsor and each Insider shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Representatives, (i) offer, sell, contract to sell, hypothecate, pledge or grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of
(or enter into any transaction that is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by
actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise)), directly or indirectly, or establish
or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Commission
promulgated thereunder, with respect to, any Units, shares of Common Stock, Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable,
or exchangeable for, Common Stock, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part,
any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Units, shares of Common Stock, Warrants or any securities convertible into,
or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock owned by it, him or her, whether any such transaction is to be settled
by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction.
Each of the Sponsor and the Insiders acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the effective date of any release or waiver, of the
restrictions set forth in this paragraph 3 or paragraph 7 below, the Company shall announce the impending release or waiver by
press release through a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any
release or waiver granted shall only be effective two business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions
of this paragraph will not apply if (i) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer of securities that is not
for consideration and (ii) each transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Letter Agreement
to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

 

    

     

    

 

4.            In
the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, the Sponsor (which for purposes of clarification shall not extend to any other
stockholders, members or managers of the Sponsor) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any and all loss,
liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, whether pending or threatened, or any claim whatsoever)
to which the Company may become subject as a result of any claim by (i) any third party (other than the Company’s independent
registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company or (ii) a prospective target business
with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement (a “Target”); provided,
however, that such indemnification of the Company by the Sponsor shall apply only to the extent necessary to ensure that
such claims by a third party for services rendered (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm)
or products sold to the Company or a Target do not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per
Offering Share or (ii) such lesser amount per Offering Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the
Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case, net of the amount of interest earned on the property
in the Trust Account which may be withdrawn to pay taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), except
as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as
to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In the event that any such executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against such
third party, the Sponsor shall not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Sponsor shall
have the right to defend against any such claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Company if, within 15
days following written receipt of notice of the claim to the Sponsor, the Sponsor notifies the Company in writing that it shall
undertake such defense.

 

5.           To the extent that the Underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase up to an additional 4,500,000 Units within 45
days from the date of the Prospectus (and as further described in the Prospectus), the Sponsor agrees that it shall forfeit,
at no cost, a number of Founder Shares in the aggregate equal to 1,125,000 multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of
which is 4,500,000 minus the number of Units purchased by the Underwriters upon the exercise of their option to purchase
additional Units and (ii) the denominator of which is 4,500,000. All references in this Letter Agreement to Founder Shares of
the Company being forfeited shall take effect as a contribution of such Founder Shares to the Company’s capital as a
matter of Delaware law. The forfeiture will be adjusted to the extent that the option to purchase additional Units is not
exercised in full by the Underwriters so that the number of Founder Shares will equal an aggregate of 20.0% of the
Company’s issued and outstanding Shares after the Public Offering (not including the Private Placement Shares). The
Sponsor further agrees that to the extent that the size of the Public Offering is increased or decreased, the Company will
effect a capitalization or stock repurchase or redemption, as applicable, immediately prior to the consummation of the Public
Offering in such amount as to maintain the number of Founder Shares at 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding
Shares upon the consummation of the Public Offering (not including the Private Placement Shares). In connection with such
increase or decrease in the size of the Public Offering, then (A) the references to 4,500,000 in the numerator and
denominator of the formula in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be changed to a number equal to 15.0% of the number
of shares of Class A Common Stock included in the Units issued in the Public Offering, (B) the reference to 1,125,000 in the
formula set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be adjusted to the total number of Founder Shares that the
Sponsor would have to return to the Company in order for the number of Founder Shares that the Sponsor owns (together with
the Insiders) to equal an aggregate of 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares after the Public Offering
(not including the Private Placement Shares).

   

6.           The Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (i) the Underwriters and the Company would be irreparably injured
in the event of a breach by the Sponsor or such Insider of its, his or her obligations under paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7(a), 7(b)
and 9 gof this Letter Agreement (ii) monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for such breach and (iii) the non-breaching
party shall be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy that such party may have in law or in equity, in
the event of such breach.

 

    

     

    

 

7.            (a) The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it, he or she shall not Transfer (as defined below) any Founder Shares (or shares
of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of the Company’s
initial Business Combination and (B) subsequent to the Business Combination, (x) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation,
merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Stockholders having the right
to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property or (y) if the last reported sale price
of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations,
recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the
Company’s initial Business Combination (the “Founder Shares Lock-Up Period”).

 

(b)         The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it, he or she shall not Transfer any Private Placement Units, including the Private
Placement Shares and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant (“Private Placement Warrants”) included therein
or any shares of Class A Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, until
30 days after the completion of a Business Combination (the “Private Placement Units Lock-Up Period”,
together with the Founder Shares Lock-Up Period, the “Lock-Up Periods”).

  

(c)          Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraphs 7(a) and (b), Transfers of the Founder Shares, Private Placement
Units, Private Placement Shares, Private Placement Warrants and shares of Class A Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise
or conversion of the Private Placement Warrants or the Founder Shares and that are held by the Sponsor or any Insider or any of
their permitted transferees (that have complied with this paragraph 7(c)), are permitted (i) to any persons or entities (including
their affiliates and members) participating in the private placement of the Private Placement Units; (ii) to the Company’s
officers or directors, any affiliates or family members of any of the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliate of the
Sponsor or any employees of such affiliates, or to any member(s) of the Sponsor or any affiliates of such members; (iii) in the
case of an entity, as a distribution to its, partners, stockholders or members upon liquidation; (iv) in the case of an individual,
by bona fide gift to a member of the individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of
the individual’s immediate family, or for estate planning purposes or to a charitable organization; (v) in the case of an
individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (vi) in the case of an individual, pursuant
to a qualified domestic relations order; (vii) by certain pledges to secure obligations incurred in connection with purchases of
the Company’s securities; (viii) by private sales or transfers made in connection with the consummation of the Company’s
initial Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the securities were originally purchased; (ix) in the
event of the Company’s liquidation prior to the Company’s completion of an initial Business Combination; (x) to the
Company for no value for cancellation in connection with the completion of its initial Business Combination; or (xi) in the event
of the Company’s completion of a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction
which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities
or other property subsequent to the Company’s completion of its initial Business Combination; provided, however,
that in each case of clauses (i) through (ix), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement with the Company
agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions and other applicable restrictions in this Letter Agreement.

 

8.           The Sponsor and each Insider represents and warrants that it, he or she has never been suspended or expelled from membership in
any securities or commodities exchange or association or had a securities or commodities license or registration denied, suspended
or revoked. Each Insider’s biographical information furnished to the Company (including any such information included in
the Prospectus), is true and accurate in all respects and does not omit any material information with respect to such Insider’s
background. The Sponsor and each Insider’s questionnaire furnished to the Company is true and accurate in all respects. The

and it, he or she is not currently a defendant in any such criminal proceeding.

 

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

 

    

     

    

 

10.         The Sponsor and each Insider has full right and power, without violating any agreement to which it is bound (including, without
limitation, any non-competition or non-solicitation agreement with any employer or former employer), to enter into this Letter
Agreement and, as applicable, to serve as an officer and/or a director on the board of directors of the Company and hereby consents
to being named in the Prospectus as an officer and/or a director of the Company.

as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to, any security, (b) entry

13.         No party hereto may assign either this Letter Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior

3, which such paragraph shall not be amended or modified without the written consent of the Representatives.

 

    

     

    

 

15.         This Letter Agreement may be executed in any number of original or facsimile counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for
all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

16.         This Letter Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not

any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part of this Letter
Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid and enforceable.

 

17.         This Letter Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. The

Agreement shall be brought and enforced in the courts of New York City, in the State of New York, and irrevocably submit to such
jurisdiction and venue, which jurisdiction and venue shall be exclusive and (ii) waive any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction
and venue or that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.

 

18.         Any notice, consent or request to be given in connection with any of the terms or provisions of this Letter Agreement shall be
in writing and shall be sent by express mail or similar private courier service, by certified mail (return receipt requested),

19.          Each party hereto shall not be liable for any breaches or misrepresentations contained in this Letter Agreement by any other
