Exhibit 4.4

 

FORM OF WARRANT AGREEMENT 

 

THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”),
dated as of                     ,
2021, is by and between HH&L Acquisition Co., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”),
and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, as warrant agent (in such capacity, the “Warrant
Agent,” and also referred to herein as the “Transfer Agent”).

 

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 Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”) and
one-half of a redeemable Public Warrant (as defined below) (the “Units”) and, in connection therewith,
has determined to issue and deliver up to 15,000,000 warrants (or up to 17,250,000 warrants if the Over-allotment Option (as defined
below) is exercised in full) to public investors in the Offering (the “Public Warrants”);

 

WHEREAS, the Company entered into that
certain Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement with HH&L Investment Co., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Sponsor”),
pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to purchase an aggregate of 8,000,000 private placement warrants (or up to 8,900,000 private
placement warrants if the Over-allotment Option is exercised in full) simultaneously with the closing of the Offering (the “Private
Placement Warrants”), each bearing the legend set forth in Exhibit A hereto;

 

WHEREAS, in order to finance the Company’s
transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination (as defined below), the Sponsor or an affiliate of
the Sponsor or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan to the Company funds as the Company
may require, of which up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into up to an additional 1,500,000 warrants at a price
of $1.00 per warrant, which will be identical to the Private Placement Warrants (the “Working Capital Warrants,”
and, together with the Private Placement Warrants and the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”);

 

WHEREAS, each Warrant entitles the holder
thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described herein;

 

WHEREAS, the Company has filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-1, File
No. 333-[    ] (the “Registration Statement”) and prospectus (the “Prospectus”),
for the registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the Units,
the Public Warrants and the Ordinary Shares included in the 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, as provided herein, the valid, binding and legal obligations of the Company, and to authorize the
execution and delivery of this Agreement.

 

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 be issued in registered form only, and, if a physical certificate is issued, shall be in substantially the form
of Exhibit B hereto, the provisions of which are incorporated herein and shall be signed by, or bear the facsimile
signature of, the Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, 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. All of the Public Warrants shall
initially be represented by one or more book-entry certificates (each, a “Book-Entry Warrant
Certificate”).

 

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, 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. All of the Public Warrants shall initially be represented by one or more Book-Entry
Warrant Certificates deposited with The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”) and registered in
the name of Cede & Co., a nominee of the Depositary. 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 (i) the Depositary or its nominee
for each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, or (ii) institutions that have accounts with the Depositary (each 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 Warrant Certificate, and the Company shall instruct the Warrant
Agent to deliver to the Depositary definitive certificates in physical form evidencing such Warrants (“Definitive Warrant
Certificate”). Such Definitive Warrant Certificate shall be in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B, with
appropriate insertions, modifications and omissions, as provided above.

 

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 a
Definitive Warrant 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
Ordinary Shares and Public Warrants comprising the 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 Goldman
Sachs (Asia) L.L.C. and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters, but in no event shall
the Ordinary Shares and the Public Warrants comprising the 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 Units in the Offering (the “Over-allotment Option”), if the Over-allotment Option is exercised
prior to the filing of the Form 8-K, and (B) the Company issues a press release and files with the Commission a current report
on Form 8-K announcing when such separate trading shall begin.

 

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 Ordinary Share and one-half of one Public Warrant. If, upon the detachment of Public Warrants from 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 and 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 any of its Permitted Transferees (as defined below), as applicable, the
Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants: (i) shall not be redeemable by the Company; (ii) may not
(including the Ordinary Shares issued upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants) be transferred,
assigned or sold until the date that is thirty (30) days after the completion by the Company of an initial Business Combination
(as defined below); and (iii) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, pursuant to subsection 3.3.1(c) hereof;
provided, however, that in the case of (ii), the Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants and any Ordinary
Shares held by the Sponsor or any of its Permitted Transferees, as applicable, and issued upon exercise of the Private Placement
Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants may be transferred by the holders thereof:

 

(a) to the Company’s officers or
directors, any affiliate or family member of any of the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliate of the Sponsor or
to any shareholder(s) of the Sponsor or any of their affiliates;

 

(b) 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, an affiliate of such individual or to a charitable organization;

 

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

 

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

 

(e) by private sales or transfers made
in connection with any forward purchase agreement or similar arrangement or in connection with the consummation of an initial Business
Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the Ordinary Shares or Warrants were originally purchased;

 

(f) by virtue of the laws of the Cayman
Islands or the memorandum and articles of association of the Sponsor upon termination or dissolution of the Sponsor;

 

(g) in the event of the Company’s
liquidation prior to the consummation of a Business Combination; and

 

(h) in the event that, subsequent to the
consummation of an initial Business Combination, the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction
which results in all of its shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property;
provided, however, that, in the case of clauses (a) through (f), these transferees (the “Permitted Transferees”)
enter into a written agreement with the Company agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions in this Agreement and the other
restrictions contained in the letter agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company, the Sponsor and the Company’s
officers and directors.

 

2.7 Working Capital Warrants. Each
of the Working Capital Warrants shall be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

 

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 Ordinary Shares 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 at which the Ordinary Shares may be purchased at the time a Warrant is
exercised. The Company in its sole discretion may lower the Warrant Price 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) 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”) commencing on the later of:
(i) the date that is thirty (30) days after the first date on which the Company completes a merger, share exchange,
asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Company and one or more
businesses (a “Business Combination”), or (ii) the date that is twelve (12) months from
the date of the closing of the Offering, and terminating on the earlier to occur of: (x) at 5:00 p.m., New York City
time on 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, and (z) other than with respect to the Private Placement Warrants and the
Working Capital Warrants, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the Redemption Date (as defined below) as provided in Section 6.2
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. 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) in the event of a redemption (as
set forth in Section 6 hereof), each outstanding Warrant (other than a Private Placement Warrant or a Working
Capital Warrant in the event of a redemption) not exercised on or before the Expiration Date shall become 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 Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, 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”)
Ordinary Shares 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 Certificate, properly delivered by the Participant
in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures, and (iii) payment in full of the Warrant Price for each Ordinary Share
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 Ordinary Shares and the issuance of such Ordinary Shares, as follows:

 

(a) in lawful money of the United States,
in good certified check or good bank draft payable to the Warrant Agent or by wire transfer of immediately available funds;

 

(b) in the event of a redemption pursuant
to Section 6 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 Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Ordinary Shares
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. Solely for purposes of this subsection 3.3.1(b) and Section 6.3,
the “Fair Market Value” shall mean the average reported closing price of the Ordinary Shares 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;

 

(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 Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing (x) the product of the number of Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “Fair
Market Value,” as defined in this subsection 3.3.1(c), over the Warrant Price by (y) the Fair Market Value. Solely
for purposes of this subsection 3.3.1(c), the “Fair Market Value” shall mean the average reported closing price
of the Ordinary Shares for the ten (10) trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which notice of
exercise of the Warrant is sent to the Warrant Agent; or

 

(d) as provided in Section 7.4
hereof.

 

     

     

    

 

3.3.2 Issuance of Ordinary Shares
on 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 Ordinary Shares 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 Ordinary Shares as to
which such Warrant shall not have been exercised. If fewer than all the Warrants evidenced by a Book-Entry Warrant
Certificate are exercised, a notation shall be made to the records maintained by the Depositary, its nominee for each
Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, or a Participant, as appropriate, evidencing the balance of the Warrants remaining after such
exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Ordinary Shares pursuant to the
exercise of a Warrant and shall have no obligation to settle such Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the
Securities Act with respect to the Ordinary Shares underlying the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating
thereto is current, subject to the Company’s satisfying its obligations under Section 7.4. No Warrant shall
be exercisable and the Company shall not be obligated to issue Ordinary Shares upon exercise of a Warrant unless the Ordinary
Shares issuable upon such Warrant exercise have 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. In the event that
the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a Warrant, the holder of such
Warrant shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrant and such Warrant may have no value and expire worthless, in which case
the purchaser of a Unit containing such Public Warrant shall have paid the full purchase price for the Unit solely for the
Ordinary Share underlying such Unit. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Warrant exercise. 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 an Ordinary Share, the Company shall round down to the
nearest whole number, the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to such holder.

 

3.3.3 Valid Issuance. All Ordinary
Shares issued upon the proper exercise of a Warrant in conformity with this Agreement and the Amended and Restated Memorandum and
Articles of Association of the Company 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 Ordinary Shares is issued shall for all purposes be deemed
to have become the holder of record of such Ordinary Shares 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 Ordinary Shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the share transfer books or book-entry system
are open.

 

3.3.5 Maximum Percentage. A
holder of a Warrant may notify the Company in writing in the event it elects to be subject to the provisions contained in
this subsection 3.3.5; provided, 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 4.9% or 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may
specify)(the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving
effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned
by such person and its affiliates shall include the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant with
respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude Ordinary Shares that would be issuable
upon (x) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of the Warrant beneficially owned by such person and 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 its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or
convertible preferred shares 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 Ordinary
Shares, the holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares 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 Ordinary Shares 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 Ordinary Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares
shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of equity securities of the Company by the holder and
its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding Ordinary Shares 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 Share Capitalizations.

 

4.1.1 Sub-Divisions. If after the
date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 below, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares is increased
by a share capitalization payable in Ordinary Shares, or by a sub-division of Ordinary Shares or other similar event, then, on
the effective date of such share capitalization, sub-division or similar event, the number of Ordinary Shares issuable on exercise
of each Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding Ordinary Shares. A rights offering to holders
of the Ordinary Shares entitling holders to purchase Ordinary Shares at a price less than the “Fair Market Value” (as
defined below) shall be deemed a share capitalization of a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the product of (i) the number
of Ordinary Shares actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering
that are convertible into or exercisable for Ordinary Shares) and (ii) one (1) minus the quotient of (x) the price per
Ordinary Share paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the Fair Market Value. For purposes of this subsection 4.1.1,
(i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Ordinary Shares, in determining the price payable
for Ordinary Shares, 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) “Fair Market Value” means the volume weighted average price of the Ordinary
Shares as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the Ordinary
Shares trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights. No
Ordinary Shares shall be issued at less than their par value.

 

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 the holders of Ordinary Shares on account of such Ordinary Shares (or
other of the Company’s share capital 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
Ordinary Shares in connection with a proposed initial Business Combination, (d) to satisfy the redemption rights of the
holders of Ordinary Shares in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum
and articles of association (as amended from time to time, the “Charter”) (A) to modify the
substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination
or to redeem 100% of the Ordinary Shares included in the Units sold in the Offering (the “Public
Shares”) if the Company does not complete the Business Combination within the period set forth in the
Charter or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial
Business Combination activity or (e) in connection with the redemption of Public Shares 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
Ordinary Share 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 Ordinary Shares 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 Ordinary Shares issuable on exercise of each Warrant) does
not exceed $0.50 (being 5% of the offering price of the Units in the Offering) but only with respect to the amount of the
aggregate cash dividends or cash distributions equal to or less than $0.50. Solely for purposes of illustration, if the
Company, at a time while the Warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pays a cash dividend of $0.35 and previously paid an
aggregate of $0.40 of cash dividends and cash distributions on the Ordinary Shares during the 365-day period ending on the
date of declaration of such $0.35 dividend, then the Warrant Price will be decreased, effectively immediately after the
effective date of such $0.35 dividend, by $0.25 (the absolute value of the difference between $0.75 (the aggregate amount of
all cash dividends and cash distributions paid or made in such 365-day period, including such $0.35 dividend) and $0.50 (the
greater of (x) $0.50 and (y) the aggregate amount of all cash dividends and cash distributions paid or made in such
365-day period prior to such $0.35 dividend)).

 

     

     

    

 

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

 

4.3 Adjustments in Warrant Price.

 

4.3.1 Whenever the number of Ordinary
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is adjusted, as provided in subsection 4.1.1 or Section 4.2
above, 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 Ordinary Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants
immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of Ordinary Shares so purchasable
immediately thereafter.

 

4.3.2 If (x) the Company issues additional
Ordinary Shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business
Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Ordinary Share (with such issue price or effective
issue price to be determined in good faith by the Board and, in the case of any such issuance to the initial shareholders (as defined
in the Prospectus) or their affiliates, without taking into account any Class B Ordinary Shares (as defined below) held by
such shareholders or their 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 funding the initial Business Combination, and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Ordinary
Shares during the 10 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the Business
Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the Warrant Price shall 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 last sales price
of the Ordinary Shares that triggers the Company’s right to redeem the Warrants pursuant to Section 6.1 below
shall 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 Ordinary Shares (other than a
change under subsections 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 or Section 4.2 hereof or that solely affects the par value
of such Ordinary Shares), 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 is not a subsidiary of another entity whose shareholders did not own all or substantially all of the Ordinary
Shares of the Company in substantially the same proportions immediately before such transaction and that does not result in
any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Ordinary Shares), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to
another 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 Ordinary Shares of the Company
immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount
of shares or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or
consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the Warrants would have received
if such holder had exercised his, her or its Warrant(s) immediately prior to such event (the “Alternative
Issuance”); provided, however, that (i) if the holders of the Ordinary Shares 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 Ordinary Shares 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 Ordinary
Shares (other than a tender, exchange or redemption offer made by the Company in connection with redemption rights held by
shareholders of the Company as provided for in the Charter or as a result of the redemption of Ordinary Shares by the Company
if a proposed initial Business Combination is presented to the shareholders of the Company for approval) under circumstances
in which, upon completion of such tender or exchange offer, the maker thereof, together with members of any group (within the
meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act (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 65% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, 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 shareholder if such Warrant holder had exercised the Warrant prior
to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, accepted such offer and all of the Ordinary Shares 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 Ordinary Shares in the applicable
event is payable in the form of capital stock or shares in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national
securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted
immediately following such event, and if the Registered Holder 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) equal to the difference (but
in no event less than zero) 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 Ordinary Share shall be the volume weighted average price
of the Ordinary Shares 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 Ordinary Shares consists exclusively of cash, the amount of such cash per Ordinary Share, and (ii) in
all other cases, the volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares 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 Ordinary Shares 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.

 

     

     

    

 

4.5 Notices of Changes in Warrant.
Upon every adjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of Ordinary Shares 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 Ordinary Shares 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 Ordinary Shares 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 Ordinary Shares 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 Ordinary Shares 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 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 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. 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 Company’s Class B ordinary shares (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”) into Ordinary
Shares or the conversion of the Class B Ordinary Shares into Ordinary Shares, in each case, pursuant to the Charter.

 

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 a certificated Warrant, 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 in any
Book-Entry Warrant Certificate or Definitive Warrant Certificate, each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate and Definitive Warrant Certificate
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 and the Working Capital 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.

 

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. Subject to Section 6.4
hereof, not less than all of the outstanding Warrants may be redeemed, at the option of the Company, at any time while they are
exercisable and prior to their expiration, at the office of the Warrant Agent, upon notice to the Registered Holders of the Warrants,
as described in Section 6.2 below, at the price of $0.01 per Warrant (the “Redemption Price”);
provided that the closing price of the Ordinary Shares reported has been at least $18.00 per share (subject to adjustment
in compliance with Section 4 hereof), on each of twenty (20) trading days within the thirty (30) trading-day
period ending on the third Business Day prior to the date on which notice of the redemption is given; provided further that
there is an effective registration statement covering the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and a current
prospectus relating thereto, available throughout the 30-day Redemption Period (as defined in Section 6.2 below) or
the Company has elected to require the exercise of the Warrants on a “cashless basis” pursuant to subsection 3.3.1
and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

 

6.2 Date Fixed for, and Notice of, Redemption.
In the event that the Company elects to redeem all of the Warrants, 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 (such period, the “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.

 

6.3 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) of
this Agreement) at any time after notice of redemption shall have been given by the Company pursuant to Section 6.2
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 Ordinary Shares 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.

 

6.4 Exclusion of Private Placement Warrants
and Working Capital Warrants. The Company agrees that the redemption rights provided in this Section 6 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 any of its Permitted Transferees, as applicable. However,
once such Private Placement Warrants or Working Capital Warrants are transferred (other than to Permitted Transferees under Section 2.6),
the Company may redeem the Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants, 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 and the Working Capital Warrants prior to redemption pursuant to Section 6.3. 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 or Working Capital Warrants and shall become Public Warrants under this Agreement.

 

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

 

7.1 No Rights as Shareholder. A
Warrant does not entitle the Registered Holder thereof to any of the rights of a shareholder 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 shareholders in respect of the meetings of shareholders 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 Ordinary Shares.
The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares that shall be
sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement.

 

7.4 Registration of Ordinary Shares;
Cashless Exercise at Company’s Option.

 

7.4.1 Registration of the Ordinary
Shares. The Company agrees that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the
closing of its initial Business Combination, it shall use its best efforts to file with the Commission a registration statement
registering, under the Securities Act, the issuance of the Ordinary Shares 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 of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
If any such registration statement has not been declared effective by the 60th Business Day following the closing of the Business
Combination, holders of the Warrants shall have the right, during the period beginning on the 61st 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 Ordinary Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, to exercise such Warrants on a “cashless basis,” 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
Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Ordinary Shares 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. Solely for purposes of this subsection 7.4.1, “Fair Market Value” shall mean the average
last reported sales price of the Ordinary Shares for 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 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 Ordinary Shares 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 rule)) 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 any 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.

 

7.4.2 Cashless Exercise at Company’s
Option. If the Ordinary Shares are at the time of any exercise of a Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such
that they satisfy the definition of “covered securities” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act (or any
successor rule), the Company may, at its option, 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
rule) as described in subsection 7.4.1 and (i) in the event the Company so elects, the Company shall not be required
to file or maintain in effect a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Ordinary Shares issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary or (ii) if the Company does not
so elect, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to register or qualify for sale the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise
of the Public Warrants under the blue sky laws of the state of residence of the exercising Public Warrant 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 Ordinary Shares 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 Ordinary Shares.

 

     

     

    

 

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.

 

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 Ordinary Shares 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 Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Executive Vice President, Vice President,
Secretary or 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 or bad faith. The Company agrees to indemnify the
Warrant Agent and save it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs and reasonable 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 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 Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Warrant or as to whether any Ordinary
Shares 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 Ordinary Shares through the exercise
of the Warrants.

 

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 Provisions.

 

9.1 Successors. All the covenants
and provisions of this Agreement by or for the benefit of the Company or the Warrant Agent shall bind and inure to the benefit
of their respective successors and assigns.

 

9.2 Notices. Any notice, statement

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. The Company hereby agrees that any action, proceeding or claim against it arising out of or relating in any way to
this Agreement shall 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, which jurisdiction shall be exclusive. The Company
hereby waives any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the provisions of this paragraph will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the
Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive
forum.

 

Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest
in the Warrants shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provisions in this Section 9.3. If any action,
the subject matter of which is within the scope of the forum provisions above, is filed in a court other than a court located within
the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (a “foreign action”)
in the name of any warrant holder, such warrant holder shall be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the
state and federal courts located within the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions (an “enforcement action”),
and (y) having service of process made upon such warrant holder in any such enforcement action by service upon such warrant holder’s
counsel in the foreign action as agent for such warrant holder.

 

9.4 Persons Having Rights under this
Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to confer upon, or give to, any person or corporation other than the
parties hereto and the Registered Holders of the Warrants any right, remedy, or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or of
any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise, or agreement hereof. All covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises, and agreements
contained in this Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns
and of the Registered Holders of the Warrants.

 

9.5 Examination of the Warrant Agreement.
A copy of this Agreement shall be available at all reasonable times at the office of the Warrant Agent in the Borough of Manhattan,
City and State of New York, for inspection by the Registered Holder of any Warrant. The Warrant Agent may require any such holder
to submit such holder’s Warrant for inspection by the Warrant Agent.

 

9.6 Counterparts. This 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.

 

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

 

9.8 Amendments. This Agreement may

Warrant Certificate

 

This Warrant Certificate certifies that                 ,
or registered assigns, is the registered holder of                warrants
evidenced hereby (the “Warrants” and each, a “Warrant”) to purchase Class A Ordinary
Shares, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of HH&L Acquisition Co., a Cayman Islands exempted
company (the “Company”). Each Warrant entitles the holder, upon exercise during the Exercise Period set forth
in the Warrant Agreement referred to below, to receive from the Company that number of fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares
as set forth below, at the exercise price (the “Warrant 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 Warrant 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 Ordinary Share. 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 an Ordinary Share, the Company will, upon
exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to the Warrant holder. The number of
Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events set forth
in the Warrant Agreement.

 

The initial Warrant Price per Ordinary
Share for any Warrant is equal to $11.50 per share. The Warrant Price is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events
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 void.

 

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.

 

This Warrant Certificate shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant
Certificate are part of a duly authorized issue of Warrants entitling the holder on exercise to receive Ordinary Shares and are
issued or to be issued pursuant to a Warrant Agreement dated as of [    ] (the “Warrant Agreement”),
duly executed and delivered by the Company to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, as warrant
agent (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 Warrant Price as specified in the Warrant Agreement (or through “cashless exercise” as
provided for in the Warrant Agreement) at the principal corporate trust office 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 Ordinary Shares to be issued upon exercise is effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and (ii) a
prospectus thereunder relating to the Ordinary Shares 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 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the 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 an Ordinary Share, the Company shall, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of
Ordinary Shares to be issued to the holder of the Warrant.

 

Warrant Certificates, when surrendered
at the principal corporate trust office 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 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
charge 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 shareholder of the Company.

for shall be determined in accordance with subsection 3.3.1(b) and Section 6.3 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 Ordinary Shares 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

is exercisable for would be determined in accordance with the relevant section of the Warrant Agreement which allows for such cashless

Further, by acceptance of this Award. Participant agrees to hold the Restricted Shares for a minimum of two (2) years following the Vesting Date (other than such shares used to cover tax withholding hereunder), unless Participant’s Termination of Employment occurs prior to the end of such period.

​
SECTION 4 – TAXES
​
(a)The Participant agrees, as a condition to this Award, not to make an election under Internal Revenue Code Section 83(b) to be taxed at the Grant Date on the Fair Market Value of the Restricted Shares at that time. Rather, Participant acknowledges that taxes will be due on the Fair Market Value of the Restricted Shares at each Vesting Date.  The Participant must make arrangements sat­isfactory to the Committee to pay to the Company any federal, state or local taxes required to be withheld with respect to the Restricted Shares prior to the Vesting Date.  The Participant’s acceptance of this Award constitutes the Participant’s instruction and authorization to the Company to retain for its own account (i) first from the deferred dividends owed on the vesting shares, and then, to the extent such dividends are not sufficient, (ii) from the shares to be released from escrow at a Vesting Date, that number of shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value at the Vesting Date, in each case in a total amount equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld for Federal state and local income taxes as well as FICA and Medicare taxes, unless the Participant timely elects to satisfy the tax withholding in accordance with Section 4(b) below.
​
(b)At any time up to and including the day prior to the Vesting Date, the Participant may notify the Company of the Participant’s election to pay the tax withholding by one of the means set forth in the withholding election attached hereto on Annex 1, which shall include: (i) pay in cash, or (ii) pay by tendering already-owned shares, or (iii) have taxes withheld from other wages, or (iv) some combination of these payment choices. 
​
SECTION 5 – RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS
​
(a)Participant specifically acknowledges and agrees that Participant is and will remain subject to certain restrictive covenants, clawback rights, reduction in total payments after a Change of Control and dispute resolution (arbitration) terms set forth in either an Employment Agreement or a Change in Control Severance Agreement between Participant and the Company and Bank dated January 27, 2021 and that this Award is also subject to such terms. 
​

– 3 –

(b)The Company and the Participant each acknowledge and agree that any breach of those covenants would cause irreparable harm to the Company or its subsidiaries.  In the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Participant of these covenants, the Company shall be entitled to, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies available to it, declare the Restricted Shares forfeited.  Any electronic/book-entry shares and/or stock certificates representing such Restricted Shares shall be returned to the Company.  The Company and the Participant further agree that upon breach, the Company is entitled to recover, and the Participant will disgorge to the Company, any profits realized from the prior disposition of the Restricted Shares. 
​
(c)The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Award and will be construed as independent of any other provision of this Award, and the existence of any claim or cause of action by the Participant against the Company, whether predicated on this Award or otherwise, will not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of such covenants and agreements.  If any provision of this Award, including this Section, is invalid in part or in whole, it will be deemed to have been amended, whether as to time, area covered or otherwise, as and to the extent required for its validity under applicable law and, as so amended, will be enforceable.  The parties will execute all documents necessary to evidence such amendment.
​
SECTION 6 – ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
​
The Participant acknowledges receipt contemporaneously herewith of a copy of the Plan, and the Participant represents that he is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof and hereby accepts the Award herein subject to all the terms and provisions thereof.  The Participant acknowledges that nothing contained in the Plan or this Award shall (a) confer upon the Participant any additional rights to continued employment by the Company or any corporation related to the Company; or (b) interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the Participant’s employment or change the Participant’s compensation at any time. 
​
​
SECTION 7 – AMENDMENT
​
The Committee may amend the terms and conditions of this Award as provided in the Plan; provided, however, no amendment may impair the rights of the Participant without the consent of the Participant.  
​
SECTION 8 – TERM OF AWARD
​
This Award shall terminate (except with respect to Section 5) upon the earlier of (i) failure of the Participant to execute an electronic acceptance of the Agreement via the Company-provided website, or, if a Company-provided website is not available, return a counter-signed copy of this Award to the Company within thirty (30) calendar days after its presentation to Participant; (ii) release from restrictions on or   the forfeiture of all Restricted Shares; (iii) mutual agreement of the parties.

ANNEX 1
​
Alternative Withholding Election for Restricted Shares that are Vesting
INSTRUCTIONS: You do not need to submit this form if you want any accumulated dividends on vesting Shares, plus, if deferred dividends are not sufficient, shares that would otherwise vest to be deemed tendered back to the Company in an amount equal (based on their fair market value on the Vesting Date) to the minimum tax withholding due, with the net number of vested shares remaining after that withholding issued in your name.  If you prefer to satisfy your withholding obligation in a different way, please check the appropriate line below and return this form with any required other materials (cash or check, or a stock power or other stock certificates, if you elect Method No. 1 or No. 2 in whole or part). No matter what you elect below, taxes on dividends related to vested shares will be deducted from the dividends themselves before they are paid, such that this election will apply to just those taxes related to the Restricted Shares’ value.
Depending on the choice elected, cash or other documents need to accompany the election  The amount remitted or withheld will be a reasonable estimate of the tax withholding obligations due by reason of the vesting of the Restricted Shares, and your notice must acknowledge and allow debit from your next paycheck any reconciliation of that estimate to the exact tax withholding due, as soon as such amount is precisely calculable by the Company.  For example, if our stock is trading at $26 when you submit your election, and you have 100 shares vesting (total value of $2,600), and you remit 28% of that amount (or $728) to cover the estimated current tax withholding rate, and it turns out that the shares trade at $26.50 on the vesting date, we will debit the additional $140 in withholding from your next paycheck.
Method No. 1
	____ 
	I elect to pay withholding in cash.  Attached is a check for __%1 of the value of the shares that are vesting as of the latest close of the market before I submitted this form.  I understand that the Bank will determine the actual market value of the shares at the close of the market on the Vesting Date, and if any more or less tax withholding is due, will reconcile that amount by either issuing me a check for the difference, or taking the additional taxes due from my next paycheck, and I authorize that deduction.

Method No. 2
	____
	I elect to pay the taxes due by tendering other shares of stock that I already own.  Attached is a stock certificate, signed on the back to tender, or a stock power to authorize the transfer agent to transfer the shares that I think will be sufficient to pay the withholding, based on the actual market value of the shares at the close of the market on the vesting date, and a ___%2 withholding rate.  If any more or less tax withholding is due, I authorize the Bank to reconcile the value of the shares I have tendered and either issue me a check for the difference, or take the additional taxes due from my next paycheck.

1 Consult with the Bank’s payroll department regarding the required withholding rate in effect, at the time this election is made, and insert that percentage here
2 See prior footnote
​

​

Method No. 3
	____
	I authorize the Bank to withhold the taxes related to this vesting of Restricted Stock from my next regular paycheck.  I understand that, if one paycheck will not be large enough to cover these taxes and all other regular deductions, the Bank will debit any difference by issuing to me fewer than the total number of vested shares (the number subtracted will depend on the amount of taxes still due and the fair market value of the shares on the vesting date).

Method No. 4
	____
	I elect a combination of the above methods, as follows  (please describe):________________________________________________________________
