consummate an initial public offering of the Company’s units (the “Public Offering”), each
unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (each, a
 “Share”), and one-third of one redeemable warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder to
purchase one Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Share, as set forth in the Company’s Registration Statement on
Form S-1, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), File Numbers
333-252595 and 333-253279 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

WHEREAS, the Purchaser has agreed to purchase
an aggregate of 6,466,666 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), each Private Placement Warrant
entitling the holder to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Share, subject to adjustment, at a price of $1.50
per warrant ($9,700,000 in the aggregate).

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual
promises contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby

the Private Placement Warrants to the Purchaser.

 

B.                
Purchase and Sale of the Private Placement Warrants. On the date of the consummation of the Public Offering

one (1) business day prior to the IPO Closing Date; provided, however, that if the underwriters of
the Public Offering exercise their option to purchase additional units, in whole or in part, the amount in clause (ii) shall instead
be equal to 2% of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering, including such option, and the amount in clause (i) shall instead
be equal to the difference between (x) $9,700,000 and (y) 2% of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering.

 

On the IPO Closing Date, subject to the

(ii)             
On the IPO Closing Date, the Company and the Purchaser shall enter into a registration and shareholder rights agreement

registration rights to the Purchaser relating to the Private Placement Warrants and the Shares underlying the Private Placement
Warrants.

sale of the Private Placement Warrants, the issuance of the Shares upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and the fulfillment

of the Purchaser. As a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement and issue and sell the Private Placement

Authorization; No Breach.

 

(i)                
This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms,
subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating

(ii)             
The execution and delivery by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the fulfillment of and compliance with the terms

or any agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which the Purchaser is subject, except for any filings required after
the date hereof under federal or state securities laws.

 

C.                
Investment Representations.

 

(i)                
The Purchaser is acquiring the Private Placement Warrants and, upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, the
Shares issuable upon such exercise (collectively, the “Securities”) for its own account, for investment
purposes only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, any public sale or distribution thereof.

 

(ii)             
The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of
Regulation D, and the Purchaser has not experienced a disqualifying event as enumerated pursuant to Rule 506(d) of Regulation D
under the Securities Act.

 

(iii)           
The Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and will be sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions
from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon
the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth
herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire such Securities.

 

(iv)            
The Purchaser did not decide to enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising
within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act.

 

(v)              
The Purchaser has been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company
and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by the Purchaser. The Purchaser has been
afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the executive officers and directors of the Company. The Purchaser understands that
its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk and it has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has
considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of the Securities.

 

    4 

     

    

 

(vi)            
The Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency
has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the
Securities by the Purchaser nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.

 

(vii)         
The Purchaser understands that: (a) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities
Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (1) subsequently registered
thereunder or (2) sold in reliance on an exemption therefrom; and (b) except as specifically set forth in the Registration
and Shareholder Rights Agreement, neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Securities under
the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. In this
regard, the Purchaser understands that the SEC has taken the position that promoters or affiliates of a blank check company and
their transferees, both before and after an initial Business Combination, are deemed to be “underwriters”
under the Securities Act when reselling the securities of a blank check company. Based on that position, Rule 144 adopted pursuant
to the Securities Act would not be available for resale transactions of the Securities despite technical compliance with the requirements
of such Rule, and the Securities can be resold only through a registered offering or in reliance upon another exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act.

 

(viii)       
The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, knowledge of the high degree of
risk associated with investments in the securities of companies in the development stage such as the Company, is capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities
in the amount contemplated hereunder for an indefinite period of time. The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current
financial needs and contingencies and will have no current or anticipated future needs for liquidity which would be jeopardized
by the investment in the Securities. The Purchaser can afford a complete loss of its investments in the Securities.

 

(ix)            
The Purchaser understands that the Private Placement Warrants shall bear the legend substantially in the form set
forth in the Warrant Agreement.

 

Section 4. Conditions of the Purchaser’s

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter will confirm our agreement

services as may be required by the Company from time to time, situated at 150 Greenwich Street, 29th Floor, New York, New

$10,000 per month on the Effective Date and continuing monthly thereafter until the Termination Date. The Sponsor hereby
agrees that it does not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (a “Claim”) in or to
any monies that may be set aside in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) that may be established

any reason whatsoever.

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

 

The parties may not assign this letter agreement
and any of their rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the consent of the other party.

 

This letter agreement shall be governed

of laws principles that will apply the laws of another jurisdiction.

 

This letter agreement may be executed in
one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute
