from time to time on or after the date the Company consummates the Business Combination, the Holders of at least a majority in
interest of the then-outstanding number of Registrable Securities (the “Demanding Holders”) may make
a written demand for Registration of all or part of their Registrable Securities, which written demand shall describe the amount
and type of securities to be included in such Registration and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof (such written
demand a “Demand Registration”). The Company shall, within five (5) days of the Company’s
receipt of the Demand Registration, notify, in writing, all other Holders of Registrable Securities of such demand, and each Holder
of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in a
Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration (each such Holder that includes all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable
Securities in such Registration, a “Requesting Holder”) shall so notify the Company, in writing, within
three (3) business days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company. Upon receipt by the Company of any
such written notification from a Requesting Holder(s) to the Company, such Requesting Holder(s) shall be entitled to
have their Registrable Securities included in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration and the Company shall effect, as
soon thereafter as practicable, but not more than forty five (45) days immediately after the Company’s receipt of the Demand
Registration, the Registration of all Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders pursuant
to such Demand Registration. Under no circumstances shall the Company be obligated to effect more than an aggregate of three (3) Registrations
pursuant to a Demand Registration under this subsection 2.1.1 with respect to any or all Registrable Securities; provided,
however, that a Registration shall not be counted for such purposes unless a Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration
statement that may be available at such time (“Form S-1”) has become effective and all of the Registrable
Securities requested by the Requesting Holders to be registered on behalf of the Requesting Holders in such Form S-1 Registration
have been sold, in accordance with Section 3.1 of this Agreement; provided, further, that an Underwritten
Shelf Takedown shall not count as a Demand Registration.

 

    4

     

    

 

2.1.2        Effective
Registration. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 2.1.1 above or any other part of this Agreement, a Registration
pursuant to a Demand Registration shall not count as a Registration unless and until (i) the Registration Statement filed
with the Commission with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration has been declared effective by the Commission
and (ii) the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided,
further, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, an offering of Registrable Securities in
a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration is subsequently interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission,
federal or state court or any other governmental agency the Registration Statement with respect to such Registration shall be deemed
not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise
terminated and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Demand Registration thereafter affirmatively
elect to continue with such Registration and accordingly notify the Company in writing, but in no event later than five (5) days,
of such election; provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated or required to file another Registration
Statement until the Registration Statement that has been previously filed with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration
becomes effective or is subsequently terminated.

 

2.1.3        Underwritten
Offering. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.1.4 and Section 2.4 hereof, if a majority-in-interest
of the Demanding Holders so advise the Company as part of their Demand Registration that the offering of the Registrable Securities
pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering, then the right of such Demanding Holder
or Requesting Holder (if any) to include its Registrable Securities in such Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s
participation in such Underwritten Offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten
Offering to the extent provided herein. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten
Offering under this subsection 2.1.3 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriters
selected for such Underwritten Offering by the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating the Demand Registration.

 

2.1.4        Reduction
of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration, in
good faith, advise the Company, the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or
number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together
with all other Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and the Common Stock, if any, as to which
a Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders
who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten
Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success
of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number
of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as follows: (i) first, the Registrable
Securities of the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable
Securities that each Demanding Holder and Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Registration
and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders have requested be included
in such Underwritten Registration (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be
sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities
has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell,
which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number
of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Common Stock or other equity securities of
other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register in a Registration pursuant to separate written contractual
arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

 

2.1.5         Demand
Registration Withdrawal. A majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating a Demand Registration or a majority-in-interest
of the Requesting Holders (if any), pursuant to a Registration under subsection 2.1.1 shall have the right to withdraw from
a Registration pursuant to such Demand Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and
the Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement filed with the Commission with respect to the Registration of their Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred
in connection with a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.1.5.

 

    5

     

    

 

2.2          Piggyback
Registration.

 

2.2.1        Piggyback
Rights. If, at any time on or after the date the Company consummates a Business Combination, the Company proposes to file a
Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations
exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of stockholders
of the Company (or by the Company and by the stockholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1
hereof), other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan,
(ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing stockholders, (iii) for an
offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then
the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable
but not less than seven (7) days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement, which notice shall (A) describe
the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of
the proposed managing Underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities
the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within three
(3) days after receipt of such written notice (such Registration a “Piggyback Registration”). The
Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its
best efforts to cause the managing Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested
by the Holders pursuant to this subsection 2.2.1 to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions
as any similar securities of the Company included in such Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable
Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All such Holders proposing to distribute their
Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.2.1 shall enter into an underwriting
agreement in customary form with the Underwriters selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company. The notice periods set
forth in this subsection 2.2.1 shall not apply to an Underwritten Shelf Takedown conducted in accordance with subsection
2.3.3.

 

2.2.2        Reduction

(other than Underwritten Shelf Takedown), in good faith, advise the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating
in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of the shares of Common Stock that the Company desires
to sell, taken together with (i) the Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been demanded pursuant to separate
written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (ii) the
Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant Section 2.2 hereof, and (iii) the
Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration
rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

 

(a)            If
the Registration is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first,
the Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number
of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause
(A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection
2.2.1, Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the
Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Common Stock, if any, as to
which Registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the
Company, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum
Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the Common Stock or other equity securities
for the account of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual
arrangements with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

 

    6

     

    

 

(b)            If
the Registration is pursuant to a request by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company
shall include in any such Registration (A) first, the Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting
persons or entities, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of
Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause
(A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection
2.2.1, Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the
Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Common Stock or other equity
securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth,
to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the
Common Stock or other equity securities for the account of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register
pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum
Number of Securities.

 

2.2.3        Piggyback
Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration
for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention
to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission
with respect to such Piggyback Registration. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request
for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with
the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred
in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.2.3.

 

2.2.4        Unlimited
Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof
shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration effected under Section 2.1 hereof.

 

2.3          Shelf
Registrations.

 

2.3.1       The
Holders of Registrable Securities may at any time, and from time to time, request in writing that the Company, pursuant to Rule 415
under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), register the resale of any or all
of their Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or similar short form registration statement that may be available at such time
(“Form S-3”), or if the Company is ineligible to use Form S-3, on Form S-1; a registration
statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.3.1 (a “Shelf”) shall provide for the resale of
the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested
by, any Holder. Within three (3) days of the Company’s receipt of a written request from a Holder or Holders of
Registrable Securities for a Registration on a Shelf, the Company shall promptly give written notice of the proposed Registration
to all other Holders of Registrable Securities, and each Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all
or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration shall so notify the Company, in writing, within
three (3) days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company. As soon as practicable thereafter, but not
more than ten (10) days after the Company’s initial receipt of such written request for a Registration on a Shelf, the
Company shall register all or such portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities as are specified in such written request,
together with all or such portion of Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified
in the written notification given by such Holder or Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect
any such Registration pursuant to this subsection 2.3.1 if the Holders of Registrable Securities, together with the Holders
of any other equity securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such Registration, propose to sell the Registrable Securities
and such other equity securities (if any) at any aggregate price to the public of less than $10,000,000. The Company shall maintain
each Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective
amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep such Shelf continuously effective, available for use and in compliance
with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities included on such Shelf.
In the event the Company files a Shelf on Form S-1, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the
Form S-1 to a Form S-3 as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3.

 

    7

     

    

 

2.3.2        If
any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities included thereon
are still outstanding, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause
such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending
the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable
amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such
Shelf or file an additional registration statement (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”) registering the
resale of all Registrable Securities including on such Shelf, and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available
to, and requested by, any Holder. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably
practicable after the filing thereof and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective, available for
use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities
included thereon. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to
use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on another appropriate form. In the event that any Holder
holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, the Company, upon request of
a Holder shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered
by either, at the Company’s option, a Shelf (including by means of a post-effective amendment) or a Subsequent Shelf Registration
and cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf Registration
shall be subject to the terms hereof; provided, however, the Company shall only be required to cause such Registrable
Securities to be so covered once annually after inquiry of the Holders.

 

2.3.3       At
any time and from time to time after a Shelf has been declared effective by the Commission, the Sponsor may request to sell all
or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf (each, an “Underwritten
Shelf Takedown”); provided that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown
if such offering shall include securities with a total offering price (including piggyback securities and before deduction of underwriting
discounts) reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $10,000,000. All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be
made by giving written notice to the Company at least 48 hours prior to the public announcement of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown,
which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown and
the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. The Company shall
include in any Underwritten Shelf Takedown the securities requested to be included by any holder (each a “Takedown
Requesting Holder”) at least 24 hours prior to the public announcement of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant
to written contractual piggyback registration rights of such holder (including to those set forth herein). The Sponsor shall have
the right to select the underwriter(s) for such offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized
investment banks), subject to the Company’s prior approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to this subsection 2.3.3 shall not be counted as a Registration
pursuant to a Demand Registration effected under Section 2.1 hereof.

 

2.3.4        If
the managing Underwriters in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith, advises the Company, the Sponsor and the Takedown Requesting
Holders (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Sponsor and the Takedown Requesting
Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires
to sell, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, as follows:
(i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Sponsor that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;
(ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the
Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number
of Securities; and (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing
clauses (i) and (ii), the Common Stock or other equity securities of the Takedown Requesting Holders, if any, that can be
sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities, determined Pro Rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities
that each Takedown Requesting Holder has so requested to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown.

 

2.3.5       The
Sponsor shall have the right to withdraw from an Underwritten Shelf Takedown for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification
to the Company and the Underwriters (if any) of its intention to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown prior to the public
announcement of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall
be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with an Underwritten Shelf Takedown prior to a withdrawal under
this subsection 2.3.5.

 

    8

     

    

 

2.4          Restrictions
on Registration Rights. If (A) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s
good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date
of, a Company initiated Registration and provided that the Company has delivered written notice to the Holders prior to receipt
of a Demand Registration pursuant to subsection 2.1.1 and it continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts
to cause the applicable Registration Statement to become effective; (B) the Holders have requested an Underwritten Registration
and the Company and the Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite the offer; or (C) in
the good faith judgment of the Board such Registration would be seriously detrimental to the Company and the Board concludes as
a result that it is essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement at such time, then in each case the Company shall
furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board
it would be seriously detrimental to the Company for such Registration Statement to be filed in the near future and that it is
therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement. In such event, the Company shall have the right to defer
such filing for a period of not more than thirty (30) days; provided, however, that the Company shall not defer its obligation
in this manner more than once in any 12-month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no
Registration shall be effected or permitted and no Registration Statement shall become effective, with respect to any Registrable
Securities held by any Holder, until after the expiration of the Founder Shares Lock-Up Period or the Private Placement Lock-Up
Period, as the case may be.

 

Article III

COMPANY PROCEDURES

 

3.1          General
Procedures. If at any time on or after the date the Company consummates a Business Combination the Company is required to
effect the Registration of Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its best efforts to effect such Registration to permit
the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended plan of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto the
Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:

 

3.1.1        prepare
and file with the Commission as soon as practicable a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use
its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective until all Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold;

 

3.1.2        prepare
and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement, and such supplements
to the Prospectus, as may be requested by the Holders or any Underwriters of Registrable Securities or as may be required by the
rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company or by the Securities Act or rules and
regulations thereunder to keep the Registration Statement effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration
Statement are sold in accordance with the intended plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement
to the Prospectus;

 

3.1.3        prior
to filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the Underwriters,
if any, and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration, and such Holders’ legal counsel, copies
of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case
including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement
(including each preliminary Prospectus), and such other documents as the Underwriters and the Holders of Registrable Securities
included in such Registration or the legal counsel for any such Holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the
Registrable Securities owned by such Holders;

 

3.1.4        prior
to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities
covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United
States as the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution)
may request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement
to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations
of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable
Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction
where it would not otherwise be required to qualify or take any action to which it would be subject to general service of process
or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise so subject;

 

    9

     

    

 

3.1.5         cause
all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities
issued by the Company are then listed;

 

3.1.6          provide
a transfer agent or warrant agent, as applicable, and registrar for all such Registrable Securities no later than the effective

each seller of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance
of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening
of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to
obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued;

 

3.1.8         at
least five (5) days prior to the filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such
Registration Statement or Prospectus (other than by way of a document incorporated by reference) furnish a copy thereof to each
seller of such Registrable Securities or its counsel;

 

3.1.9         notify
the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect,
includes a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof;

 

3.1.10       permit
a representative of the Holders, the Underwriters, if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriters
to participate, at each such person’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause the Company’s
officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriters, attorney
or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives or Underwriters enter
into a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure
of any such information;

 

3.1.11       obtain
a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten
Registration, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters
as the managing Underwriters may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating
Holders;

 

3.1.12       on
the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion, dated such date, of
counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Holders, the placement agent or sales
agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such
opinion is being given as the Holders, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriters may reasonably request and as are customarily
included in such opinions and negative assurance letters, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the participating
Holders;

 

3.1.13       in
the event of any Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary
form, with the managing Underwriters of such offering;

 

3.1.14       make
available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve
(12) months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration
Statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any
successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission);

 

    10

     

    

 

3.1.15        if
the Registration involves the Registration of Registrable Securities involving gross proceeds in excess of $50,000,000, use its
reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations
that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriters in any Underwritten Offering; and

 

3.1.16       otherwise,
in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in connection
with such Registration.

 

3.2          Registration
Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders
that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’
commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration
Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

 

3.3         Requirements
for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities
of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s
securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes
all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary
documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

 

3.4         Suspension
of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus
contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received
copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants
to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised
in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use
of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure
or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for
reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders,
delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time,
but in no event more than thirty (30) days, determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event
the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of
the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to
sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it
exercised its rights under this Section 3.4.

 

3.5         Reporting
Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting
company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable
grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings. The Company further covenants
that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable
such Holder to sell shares of the Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation
of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter
by the Commission, to the extent that such rule or such successor rule is available to the Company), including providing
any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly
authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

Article IV

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

 

4.1         Indemnification.

 

4.1.1         The
Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors
and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any
Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or
alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except
insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly
for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such Underwriters
(within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification
of the Holder.

 

4.1.2         In
connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish
to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such
Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers
and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of
material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement
thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing
by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not
joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities
shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant
to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors
and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the
foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.

 

4.1.3         Any
person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with
respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s
right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless
in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties
may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability
for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An
indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees
and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless
in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other
of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party,
consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money
(and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include
as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability
in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

4.1.4         The
indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by
or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive
the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make
such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s
or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

 

    12

     

    

 

4.1.5         If
the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to
hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then
the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified
party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to
state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the
indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct
or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall
be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount
paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject
to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges
or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that
it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation
or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection
4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.

 

Article V

STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS

 

5.1          Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at any time and from time to time on or after the date that the Company consummates
a Business Combination and for so long as the Sponsor holds any Registrable Securities:

 

5.1.1         The
Sponsor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate three individuals to be appointed or nominated, as the case
may be, for election to the Board (including any successor, each, a “Nominee”) by giving written notice
to the Company on or before the time such information is reasonably requested by the Board or the Nominating Committee of the Board,
as applicable, for inclusion in a proxy statement for a meeting of stockholders provided to the Sponsor.

 

5.1.2         The
Company will, as promptly as practicable, use its best efforts to take all necessary and desirable actions (including, without
limitation, calling special meetings of the Board and the stockholders and recommending, supporting and soliciting proxies) so
that there are three Sponsor Directors serving on the Board at all times.

 

5.1.3         The
Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, use its best efforts to take all actions necessary to ensure
that: (i) each Nominee is included in the Board’s slate of nominees to the stockholders of the Company for each election
of Directors; and (ii) each Nominee is included in the proxy statement prepared by management of the Company in connection
with soliciting proxies for every meeting of the stockholders of the Company called with respect to the election of members of
the Board, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the stockholders
of the Company or the Board with respect to the election of members of the Board.

 

5.1.4         If
a vacancy occurs because of the death, disability, disqualification, resignation, or removal of a Sponsor Director or for any other
reason, the Sponsor shall be entitled to designate such person’s successor, and the Company will, as promptly as practicable
following such designation, use its best efforts to take all necessary and desirable actions, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, within its control such that such vacancy shall be filled with such successor Nominee.

 

5.1.5         If
a Nominee is not elected because of such Nominee’s death, disability, disqualification, withdrawal as a nominee or for any
other reason, the Sponsor shall be entitled to designate promptly another Nominee and the Company will take all necessary and desirable
actions within its control such that the director position for which such Nominee was nominated shall not be filled pending such
designation or the size of the Board shall be increased by one and such vacancy shall be filled with such successor Nominee as
promptly as practicable following such designation.

 

    13

     

    

 

5.1.6         As
promptly as reasonably practicable following the request of any Sponsor Director, the Company shall enter into an indemnification
agreement with such Sponsor Director, in the form entered into with the other members of the Board. The Company shall pay the reasonable,
documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Sponsor Director in connection with his or her services provided to or on behalf
of the Company, including attending meetings or events attended explicitly on behalf of the Company at the Company’s request.

 

5.1.7         The
Company shall (i) purchase directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in an amount determined by the Board to
be reasonable and customary and (ii) for so long as a Sponsor Director serves as a Director of the Company, maintain such
coverage with respect to such Sponsor Director; provided that upon removal or resignation of such Sponsor Director for any
reason, the Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to extend such directors’ and officers’ liability insurance
coverage for a period of not less than six years from any such event in respect of any act or omission occurring at or prior to
such event.

 

5.1.8         For
so long as a Sponsor Director serves as a Director of the Company, the Company shall not amend, alter or repeal any right to indemnification
or exculpation covering or benefiting any Director nominated pursuant to this Agreement as and to the extent consistent with applicable
law, whether such right is contained in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated
bylaws, each as amended, or another document (except to the extent such amendment or alteration permits the Company to provide
broader indemnification or exculpation rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto).

 

5.1.9         Each
Nominee may, but does not need to qualify as “independent” pursuant to listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange
(or such other national securities exchange upon which the Company’s securities are then listed).

 

5.1.10       Any
Nominee will be subject to the Company’s customary due diligence process, including its review of a completed questionnaire
and a background check. Based on the foregoing, the Company may object to any Nominee provided (a) it does so in good faith,
and (b) such objection is based upon any of the following: (i) such Nominee was convicted in a criminal proceeding or
is a named subject of a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses), (ii) such Nominee
was the subject of any order, judgment, or decree not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated of any court of competent jurisdiction,
permanently or temporarily enjoining such proposed director from, or otherwise limiting, the following activities: (A) engaging
in any type of business practice, or (B) engaging in any activity in connection with the purchase or sale of any security
or in connection with any violation of federal or state securities laws, (iii) such Nominee was the subject of any order,
judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any federal or state authority barring, suspending or otherwise
limiting for more than 60 days the right of such person to engage in any activity described in clause (ii)(B), or to be associated
with persons engaged in such activity, (iv) such proposed director was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil
action or by the Commission to have violated any federal or state securities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding
by the Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, or (v) such proposed director was the subject
of, or a party to any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed,
suspended or vacated, relating to a violation of any federal or state securities laws or regulations. In the event the Board reasonably
finds the Nominee to be unsuitable based upon one or more of the foregoing clauses (i) through (v) and reasonably objects
to the identified director, Sponsor shall be entitled to propose a different nominee to the Board within 30 calendar days of the
Company’s notice to Sponsor of its objection to the Nominee and such replacement Nominee shall be subject to the review process
outlined above.

 

5.1.11       The
Company shall take all necessary action to cause a Nominee chosen by the Sponsor, at the request of such Nominee to be elected
to the board of directors (or similar governing body) of each material operating subsidiary of the Company. The Nominee, as applicable,
shall have the right to attend (in person or remotely) any meetings of the board of directors (or similar governing body or committee
thereof) of each subsidiary of the Company.

This Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or of any other term or provision hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid
or unenforceable term or provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part of this Agreement a provision
as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible that is valid and enforceable.

 

6.4          Counterparts.

Agreement. This Agreement (including all agreements entered into pursuant hereto and all certificates and instruments delivered

6.6          Governing
Law; Venue. NOTWITHSTANDING THE PLACE WHERE THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE EXECUTED BY ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, THE PARTIES
EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AS APPLIED TO AGREEMENTS
AMONG NEW YORK RESIDENTS ENTERED INTO AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS
OF SUCH JURISDICTION.

 

6.7          WAIVER
OF TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,
SUIT, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH OR RELATING
TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, OR THE ACTIONS OF THE SPONSOR IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE

6.8          Amendments
and Modifications. Upon the written consent of the Company and the Holders of at least a majority in interest of the Registrable
Securities at the time in question, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement
may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding
the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of
the shares of capital stock of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders (in such capacity)
shall require the consent of the Holder so affected. No course of dealing between any Holder or the Company and any other party
hereto or any failure or delay on the part of a Holder or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement
shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Holder or the Company. No single or partial exercise of any rights
or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies
hereunder or thereunder by such party.

 

6.9         Titles
and Headings. Titles and headings of sections of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction
of any provision of this Agreement.

 

6.10        Waivers
and Extensions. Any party to this Agreement may waive any right, breach or default which such party has the right to waive,
provided that such waiver will not be effective against the waiving party unless it is in writing, is signed by such party, and
specifically refers to this Agreement. Waivers may be made in advance or after the right waived has arisen or the breach or default
waived has occurred. Any waiver may be conditional. No waiver of any breach of any agreement or provision herein contained shall
be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof nor of any other agreement or provision herein contained. No
waiver or extension of time for performance of any obligations or acts shall be deemed a waiver or extension of the time for performance
of any other obligations or acts.

 

6.11       Remedies
Cumulative. In the event that the Company fails to observe or perform any covenant or agreement to be observed or performed
under this Agreement, the Holders may proceed to protect and enforce its rights by suit in equity or action at law, whether for
specific performance of any term contained in this Agreement or for an injunction against the breach of any such term or in aid
of the exercise of any power granted in this Agreement or to enforce any other legal or equitable right, or to take any one or
more of such actions, without being required to post a bond. None of the rights, powers or remedies conferred under this Agreement
shall be mutually exclusive, and each such right, power or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right, power
or remedy, whether conferred by this Agreement or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

any right to require the Company to register any securities of the Company for sale or to include such securities of the Company
in any Registration filed by the Company for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other person.
Further, the Company represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or agreement
with similar terms and conditions and in the event of a conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement,

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”) entered into by and among Star Peak Corp II, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”)
and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as representatives (the “Representatives”)
of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering
(the “Public Offering”) of 35,000,000 of the Company’s units (including 5,250,000 units that may
be purchased pursuant to the Underwriters’ option to purchase additional units, the “Units”),
each consisting of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common
Stock”), and one-fourth of one warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant
entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of 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 a prospectus (the “Prospectus”)
filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Certain capitalized
terms used herein are defined in paragraph 1 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, Star Peak Sponsor II LLC (the “Sponsor”)
and each of the undersigned (each, an “Insider” and, collectively, the “Insiders”)
hereby agree with the Company as follows:

 

1.            Definitions.
As used herein, (i) “Business Combination” shall mean a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition,
stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Company and one or more businesses; (ii) “Founder
Shares” shall mean the 10,062,500 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share,
outstanding prior to the consummation of the Public Offering; (iii) “Private Placement Warrants”
shall mean the warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company that will be acquired by the Sponsor for an aggregate
purchase price of $12,056,909 (or up to $13,106,909 if the Underwriters’ exercise their option to purchase additional units),
or $2.00 per Warrant, in a private placement that shall close simultaneously with the consummation of the Public Offering (including
Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof); (iv) “Public Stockholders” shall mean the holders
of Common Stock included in the Units issued in the Public Offering; (v) “Public Shares” shall
mean the Common Stock included in the Units issued in the Public Offering; (vi) “Trust Account”
shall mean the trust account into which a portion of the net proceeds of the Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement
Warrants shall be deposited; (vii) “Transfer” shall mean the (a) sale of, offer to sell, contract
or agreement to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agreement to dispose of,
directly or indirectly, or establishment or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease of
a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and
regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to, any security, (b) entry into any swap or other arrangement
that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, whether any such
transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (c) public announcement of any intention
to effect any transaction specified in clause (a) or (b); and (viii) “Charter” shall mean
the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as the same may be amended from time to time.

 

2.            Representations
and Warranties.

 

(a)            The
Sponsor and each Insider, with respect to itself, herself or himself, represent and warrant to the Company that it, she or he
has the full right and power, without violating any agreement to which it, she or he is bound (including, without limitation,
any non-competition or non-solicitation agreement with any employer or former employer), to enter into this Letter Agreement,
as applicable, and to serve as an officer of the Company and/or a director on the Company’s Board of Director (the “Board”),
as applicable, and each Insider hereby consents to being named in the Prospectus, road show and any other materials as an officer
and/or director of the Company, as applicable.

 

    

     

    

 

(b)            Each
Insider represents and warrants, with respect to herself or himself, that such Insider’s biographical information furnished
to the Company (including any such information included in the Prospectus) is true and accurate in all material respects and does
not omit any material information with respect to such Insider’s background. The Insider’s questionnaire furnished
to the Company is true and accurate in all material respects. Each Insider represents and warrants that such Insider is not subject
to or a respondent in any legal action for, any injunction, cease-and-desist order or order or stipulation to desist or refrain
from any act or practice relating to the offering of securities in any jurisdiction; such Insider has never been convicted of,
or pleaded guilty to, any crime (i) involving fraud, (ii) relating to any financial transaction or handling of funds
of another person, or (iii) pertaining to any dealings in any securities and such Insider is not currently a defendant in
any such criminal proceeding; and such Insider 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.

 

3.            Business
Combination Vote. It is acknowledged and agreed that the Company shall not enter into a definitive agreement regarding a proposed
Business Combination without the prior consent of the Sponsor. The Sponsor and each Insider, with respect to itself or herself
or himself, agrees that if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination, then in connection
with such proposed initial Business Combination, it, she or he, as applicable, shall vote all Founder Shares and any Public Shares
held by it, her or him, as applicable, in favor of such proposed initial Business Combination (including any proposals recommended
by the Board in connection with such Business Combination) and not redeem any Public Shares held by it, her or him, as applicable,
in connection with such stockholder approval.

 

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

 

(a)            The
Sponsor and each Insider hereby agree, with respect to itself, herself or himself, that in the event that the Company fails to
consummate its initial Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Charter, the Sponsor and each Insider shall
take all reasonable steps to cause the Company to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as
promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the Public Shares, at a per-share
price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds
held in the Trust Account and not previously release to the Company to pay income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay
dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public
Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as
promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders
and the Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations
under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law. The
Sponsor and each Insider agree not to propose any amendment to the Charter (i) that would modify the substance or timing
of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of the Public Shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection
with an initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete an initial Business
Combination within the required time period set forth in the Charter or (ii) with respect to any provision relating to the
rights of holders of Public Shares unless the Company provides its Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public
Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit
in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company
to pay taxes, if any, divided by the number of then-outstanding Public Shares.

 

(b)            The
Sponsor and each Insider, with respect to itself, herself or himself, acknowledges that it, she or he has no right, title, interest
or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of any liquidation of the Company with respect
to the Founder Shares held by it, her or him, if any. The Sponsor and each of the Insiders hereby further waive, with respect
to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it, her or him, as applicable, any redemption rights it, she or he may have in
connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, including, without limitation, any such rights available in the context
of a stockholder vote to approve such Business Combination or a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Charter (i) that
would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of the Public Shares the right to have
their shares redeemed in connection with an initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company
has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Charter or (ii) with respect
to any provision relating to the rights of holders of Public Shares (although the Sponsor and the Insiders shall be entitled to
liquidation rights with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within
the required time period set forth in the Charter).

 

    2

     

    

 

5.            Lock-up;
Transfer Restrictions.

 

(a)            The
Sponsor and the Insiders agree that they shall not Transfer any Founder Shares (the “Founder Shares Lock-up”)
until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of an initial Business Combination and (B) the date following
the completion of an initial Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange,
reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange
their Common Stock for cash, securities or other property (the “Founder Shares Lock-up Period”). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if, subsequent to a Business Combination, the closing price of the 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
a 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Company’s initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares
shall be released from the Founder Shares Lock-up.

 

(b)            The
Sponsor and Insiders agree that they shall not effectuate any Transfer of Private Placement Warrants or Common Stock underlying
such Warrants until 30 days after the completion of an initial Business Combination.

 

(c)            Notwithstanding
the provisions set forth in paragraphs 5(a) and (b), Transfers of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants
and Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants are permitted (a) to the Company’s employees, officers or
directors, any affiliates or family members of any of the Company’s officers or directors, any employees, officers, directors
or members of the Sponsor (or former Sponsor if such transfer occurs after a dissolution of the Sponsor) or their affiliates,
or any affiliates of the Sponsor (or former Sponsor if such transfer occurs after a dissolution of the Sponsor); (b) in the
case of an individual, by gift to a member of one of the individual’s immediate family, an estate planning vehicle or to
a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such person or to a
charitable organization; (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the
individual; (d) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (e) by private sales
or transfers made in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the
Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants or Common Stock, as applicable, were originally purchased; (f) by pro rata distributions
from the Sponsor to its members, partners, or shareholders pursuant to the Sponsor’s organizational documents; (g) by
virtue of the laws of Delaware or the Sponsor’s organizational documents upon liquidation or dissolution of the Sponsor;
(h) to the Company for no value for cancellation in connection with the consummation of an initial Business Combination,
(i) in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to the completion of a Business Combination; or (j) in the
event of completion of a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction which results
in all of the Company’s Public Stockholders having the right to exchange their Common Stock for cash, securities or other
property subsequent to the completion of an initial Business Combination; provided, however, that in the case of
clauses (a) through (g) these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by these
transfer restrictions.

 

(d)            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, Transfer any Units, Common Stock, Warrants or
any other securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Common Stock held by it, her or him, as applicable,
subject to certain exceptions enumerated in Section 6(h) of the Underwriting Agreement.

 

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

 

    3

     

    

 

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

 

8.            Director
and Officer Liability Insurance. The Company will maintain an insurance policy or policies providing directors’ and
officers’ liability insurance, and the Insiders shall be covered by such policy or policies, in accordance with its or their
terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any of the Company’s directors or officers.

 

9.            Termination.
This Letter Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Founder Shares Lock-up Period and (ii) the
liquidation of the Company.

 

10.          Indemnification.
In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account upon the failure of the Company to consummate its initial Business Combination
within the time period set forth in the Charter, the Sponsor (the “Indemnitor”) agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Company against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited
to, any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, whether
pending or threatened) to which the Company may become subject as a result of any claim by (i) any third party for services
rendered or products sold to the Company (except for the Company’s independent auditors) or (ii) any 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 Indemnitor (x) shall apply only to the extent necessary to
ensure that such claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company or a Target do not reduce the amount
of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public
Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per Public Share due
to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of interest that may be withdrawn to pay the Company’s
tax obligations, (y) shall not apply to any claims by a third party or Target who executed a waiver of any and all rights
to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) and (z) shall not apply to any claims
under the Company’s indemnity of the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. The Indemnitor 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 Indemnitor, the Indemnitor
notifies the Company in writing that it shall undertake such defense.

 

11.          Forfeiture
of Founder Shares. To the extent that the Underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase additional Units within 45
days from the date of the Prospectus in full (as further described in the Prospectus), the Sponsor agrees to automatically surrender
to the Company for no consideration, for cancellation at no cost, an aggregate number of Founder Shares so that the number of
Founder Shares will equal of 20% of the sum of the total number of Common Stock and Founder Shares outstanding at such time. The
Sponsor and Insiders further agree that to the extent that the size of the Public Offering is increased or decreased, the Company
will effect a stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split or stock repurchase, as applicable, with respect to the Founder
Shares immediately prior to the consummation of the Public Offering in such amount as to maintain the number of Founder Shares
at 20% of the sum of the total number of Common Stock and Founder Shares outstanding at such time.

 

12.          Entire
Agreement. This Letter Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the
subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties hereto,
written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby. This
Letter Agreement may not be changed, amended, modified or waived (other than to correct a typographical error) as to any particular
provision, except by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto.

 

13.          Assignment.
No party hereto may assign either this Letter Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of the other parties. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual
and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee. This Letter Agreement shall be binding
on the Sponsor, each of the Insiders and each of their respective successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns and
permitted transferees.

14.          Counterparts.

for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

15.          Effect
of Headings. The paragraph headings herein are for convenience only and are not part of this Letter Agreement and shall not
affect the interpretation thereof.

 

16.          Severability.
This Letter Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall
not affect the validity or enforceability of this Letter Agreement or of any other term or provision hereof. Furthermore, in lieu
of 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.          Governing
Law. This Letter Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New
York, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another
jurisdiction. The parties hereto (i) all agree that any action, proceeding, claim or dispute arising out of, or relating
in any way to, this Letter 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.          Notices.
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),
