Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, in this letter agreement (this “Amendment”) shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.
The Parties desire to make certain modifications to the Agreement as further set forth in this Amendment. Pursuant to Section 15 of the Agreement, any term of the Agreement may be amended with an executed written agreement by all of the Parties. Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

set forth below (with certain changes shown in blackline form, with bold and underlined text representing additions and

Lock-Up. The Insider Letter provides in
Section 7 thereof for certain restrictions on Transfer of Founder Shares and Class A Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion thereof until
the expiration of certain time periods or the happening of certain prior events. Notwithstanding, and in precedence to, the Insider Letter,
from and after the time and date of the Domestication, (i) references
in the Insider Letter to the Class A Shares and Class B Shares (including by reference to Units, Founder Shares and Warrants, among other
things) shall include the shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of such Class A Shares and Class B Shares in connection
with the Domestication, and (ii) 35% of the number of such
Class B Shares of Sponsor (such shares, together with the shares of Class A Common
Stock issued upon conversion of such shares in connection with the Domestication, the “Earn-Out Shares”), as further set forth
under the heading “Number of Earn-Out Shares” on Exhibit A
attached
hereto opposite Sponsor’s name on such Exhibit (assuming no stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split,
combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event occurs between the date hereof and the Closing), shall continue to be subject
to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Insider Letter, and shall also be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 2(c),
and the remaining 65% of such Class B Shares (and the shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion
of such shares in connection with the Domestication) and Warrants (and the shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon exercise of such
Warrants) shall continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 7 of the Insider Letter for the time periods
set forth therein. Earn-Out Shares shall continue to be Earn-Out Shares following their transfer to any permitted transferee under Section
7(c) of the Insider Letter.
b. Sections 2(c) and 2(d) of the Agreement are hereby deleted.
c. Exhibit A of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth on Exhibit A of this Amendment.
2. No Other Amendments. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all of the respective terms and conditions of the Agreement remain unchanged and continue in full force and effect. This Amendment is limited precisely as written and shall not be deemed to be an amendment to any other term or condition of the Agreement or any of the documents referred to therein.
3. Effect of Amendment. This Amendment shall form a part of the Agreement for all purposes, and each Party shall be bound hereby. From and after the execution of this Amendment by the Parties, any reference to the Agreement shall be deemed a reference to the Agreement as amended hereby. This Amendment shall be deemed to be in full force and effect from and after the execution of this Amendment by the Parties.
4. Amendment. This Amendment may be amended, modified or supplemented only in writing signed by the Parties.
5. Miscellaneous. The provisions of Sections 11, 12, 13 and 16 of the Agreement will apply to this Amendment mutatis mutandis.
