XPAC Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the "Company"), proposes to issue and sell to the underwriter listed in Schedule I hereto (the "Underwriter"), an aggregate of 20,000,000 units of the Company (the "Underwritten Securities") (the "Offering"). The Company also proposes to grant to the Underwriter an option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional units to cover over-allotments (the "Option Securities"; the Option Securities, together with the Underwritten Securities, being hereinafter called the "Securities"). Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined are defined in Section 23 hereof.

Each Security consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the "Class A Ordinary Share(s)") and one-third of one redeemable warrant, where each whole warrant (the "Warrant(s)") entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share. The Class A Ordinary Shares and the Warrants included in the Securities will not trade separately until the 52^nd day following the date of the Prospectus (as defined herein) (or, if such date is not a business day, the following business day) unless the Underwriter informs the Company of its decision to allow earlier separate trading, subject to (a) the preparation of an audited balance sheet of the Company reflecting receipt by the Company of the proceeds of the Offering, (b) the filing by the Company of such audited balance sheet with the Commission (as defined herein) on a Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Closing Form 8-K") and (c) the issuance by the Company of a press release announcing when such separate trading will begin. No fractional Warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole Warrants will trade. Each whole Warrant entitles its holder, upon exercise, to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50, subject to certain adjustments, during the period commencing on the later of thirty (30) days after the completion by the Company of its Initial Business Combination (as defined below) and twelve (12) months from the date of the consummation of the Offering and terminating on the five-year anniversary of the completion by the Company of its Initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation of the Trust Account (as defined herein). As used herein, the term "Initial Business Combination" (as described more fully in the Registration Statement) shall mean any merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses involving the Company (collectively, a "Target Business").

Pursuant to the Securities Subscription Agreement, dated March 19, 2021 (the "Securities Subscription Agreement"), the Company issued to XPAC Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the "Sponsor") an aggregate of 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (such shares, as well as the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion thereof, where applicable, the "Founder Shares") in a private placement for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 in cash. Up to 750,000 of the Founder Shares are subject to forfeiture to the extent the Underwriter does not exercise its over-allotment option.

The Company has entered into a Sponsor Warrants Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the "Warrant Purchase Agreement"), with the Sponsor, a form of which is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, pursuant to which the Sponsor has agreed to purchase from the Company an aggregate of 4,000,000 warrants (or up to 4,400,000 warrants depending on the extent to which the Underwriter exercises its right to purchase Option Securities), each entitling the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share (the "Private Placement Warrants") at a price of $1.50 per warrant ($6,000,000 in the aggregate, or $6,600,000 in the aggregate if the Underwriter exercises its right to purchase Option Securities in full) in a private placement that will occur simultaneously with the consummation of the Offering. The Private Placement Warrants are substantially similar to the Warrants included in the Securities, except as described in the Prospectus.

The Company has entered into a Warrant Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, with respect to the Warrants, the Private Placement Warrants and certain warrants that may be issued to the Company's officers or directors, the Sponsor or their permitted transferees or affiliates upon conversion of working capital loans made to the Company (the "Working Capital Warrants") with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, in substantially the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (the "Warrant Agreement"), pursuant to which Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company will act as warrant agent in connection with the issuance, registration, transfer, exchange, redemption and exercise of the Warrants, Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants.

The Company has entered into an Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee (the "Trustee"), in substantially the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (the "Trust Agreement"), pursuant to which a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants and certain proceeds of the Offering will be deposited and held in a trust account (the "Trust Account") for the benefit of the Company, the Underwriter and holders of the Securities.

The Company has issued a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note for an aggregate amount of up to $300,000 to the Sponsor dated March 19, 2021 (as amended, the "Promissory Note"), in exchange for the payment of the equivalent amount by the Sponsor to the Company. These monies may be used to cover a portion of the expenses relating to the Offering. The Promissory Note will be payable on the earlier to occur of December 31, 2021 or the date of the closing of the Offering.

The Company has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, in substantially the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company has granted certain registration rights in respect of the Founder Shares, the Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants (and any Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or the Working Capital Warrants and upon the conversion of the Founder Shares).

The Company has caused the Sponsor and each of the Company's directors and officers to enter into a letter agreement, in substantially the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (the "Insider Letter").

The Company has entered into an Administrative Services Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, with the Sponsor, in substantially the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (the "Administrative Services Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company will pay to the Sponsor an aggregate monthly fee of $10,000 for certain office space, administrative and support services and other expenses and obligations of the Sponsor from the Effective Date until the earlier of the consummation of an Initial Business Combination and the Company's liquidation.

(a) The Company agrees to pay the costs and expenses relating to the following matters:  (i) the preparation, printing or reproduction and filing with the Commission of the Registration Statement (including financial statements and exhibits thereto), each Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, and each amendment or supplement to any of them; (ii) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery (including postage, air freight charges and charges for counting and packaging) of such copies of the Registration Statement, each Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus and all amendments or supplements to any of them, as may, in each case, be reasonably requested for use in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities; (iii) the preparation, printing, authentication, issuance and delivery of certificates, if any, for the Securities, including any stamp or transfer taxes in connection with the original issuance and sale of the Securities; (iv) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery of this Agreement, and all other agreements or documents printed (or reproduced) and delivered in connection with the Offering; (v) the registration of the Securities under the Exchange Act and the listing of the Securities on the Nasdaq; (vi) the printing and delivery of a preliminary blue sky memorandum, any registration or qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of the several U.S. states (including filing fees and the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriter relating to such registration and qualification); (vii) any filings required to be made with FINRA (including filing fees and the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriter relating to such filings in an aggregate amount up to $40,000); (viii) the transportation and other expenses incurred by the Company and its officers (and not the Underwriter) in connection with presentations to prospective purchasers of the Securities; (ix) the fees and expenses of the Company's accountants and the fees and expenses of counsel (including U.S. and Cayman Islands counsel) for the Company; and (x) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder; (b) if the Offering is consummated and any Securities are issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Underwriter shall reimburse the Company in an amount equal to 30% of the underwriting discounts and commissions payable to the Underwriter under this Agreement which is equal to the financial advisory fee payable by the Company to XP Investimentos Corretora de Câmbio, Títulos e Valores Mobiliários S.A. ("XP Investimentos") with such amounts payable, net of applicable taxes, if any, in two parts: (1) $1,200,000 (or up to $1,380,000 if the Underwriter exercises its over-allotment option in full), will be paid upon the closing of the Offering, which is equal to the initial amount of the financial advisory fee payable by the Company to XP Investimentos (less (A) 30% of the Underwriter’s reasonable and documented expenses in connection with the Offering not covered or otherwise reimbursed by the Company pursuant to Section 5(i)(a) of this Agreement, and (B) 30% of the fees paid by the Underwriter to its counsel, Shearman & Sterling LLP, in connection with the Offering) and (2) $2,100,000 (or up to $2,415,000 if the Underwriter exercises its over-allotment option in full) will be paid upon the consummation of an Initial Business Combination, if any, which is equal to the remaining amount of the financial advisory fee payable by the Company to XP Investimentos, such amount to be paid from the Deferred Compensation held in the Trust Account.  If the Company fails to consummate its Initial Business Combination within the time period prescribed in the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Deferred Discount will not be paid to the Underwriter and will, instead, be included in the liquidation distribution of the proceeds held in the Trust Account made to the Public Shareholders.  In connection with any such liquidation distribution, the Underwriter will forfeit any rights or claims to the Deferred Discount. Accordingly, if the Company fails to consummate its Initial Business Combination, the remaining financial advisory fee will not be payable by the Company to XP Investimentos and, accordingly, no reimbursement of the remaining financial advisory fee shall be made by the Underwriter to the Company.

(j)            Use of Free Writing Prospectus. The Company agrees that it will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a "free writing prospectus" (as defined in Rule 405) required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433.

(k)            Maintenance of Registration. For a period of five (5) years from the Effective Date, or until such earlier time upon which the Company is required to be liquidated, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the registration of the Class A Ordinary Shares (or such other security into which such Class A Ordinary Shares may be exchanged in connection with an Initial Business Combination) under the provisions of the Exchange Act, except after giving effect to a going private transaction after the completion of an Initial Business Combination. During such applicable period, the Company will not deregister the Securities, Class A Ordinary Shares or Warrants under the Exchange Act (except in connection with an exchange pursuant to an Initial Business Combination or a going private transaction after the completion of an Initial Business Combination) without the prior consent of the Underwriter.

(l)            Form 8-K. The Company shall, on the date hereof, retain its independent registered public accounting firm to audit the balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (the "Audited Balance Sheet") reflecting the receipt by the Company of the proceeds of the Offering on the Closing Date. As soon as the Audited Balance Sheet becomes available, the Company shall promptly, but not later than four (4) Business Days after the Closing Date, file the Closing Form 8-K with the Commission, which shall contain the Company's Audited Balance Sheet.

(m)            Review of Financial Statements. For a period commencing on the Effective Date and ending five (5) years from the date of the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or until such earlier time at which the Company is required to be liquidated or the Class A Ordinary Shares and Warrants cease to be publicly traded, the Company, at its expense, shall cause its regularly engaged independent registered public accounting firm to review (but not audit) the Company's financial statements for each of the first three fiscal quarters prior to the announcement of quarterly financial information, the filing of the Company's Form 10-Q quarterly report and the mailing, if any, of quarterly financial information to shareholders.

Any financial statements and reports filed on the Commission's EDGAR website or otherwise available on the Company's website will be considered furnished for purposes of this section.

(o)            Affiliate Transactions. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Company shall not pay the Sponsor, any of the Company's directors or officers, or any of the Company's or their respective affiliates any fees or compensation of any kind (including finder's and consulting fees reimbursement, monies in respect of any payment of a loan or other compensation paid by the Company to the Sponsor, the Company's officers, directors or any of their respective affiliates, except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement) for services rendered to the Company prior to, or in connection with, the consummation of the Initial Business Combination.

(p)            Net Proceeds. The Company will apply the net proceeds from the Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants received by it in a manner consistent with the applications described under the caption "Use of Proceeds" in the Statutory Prospectus and the Prospectus.

The Company also agrees that proper disclosure of such arrangement or potential arrangement will be made in the tender offer materials or proxy statement, as applicable, which the Company may file in connection with the Initial Business Combination for purposes of offering redemption of shares held by its shareholders or for soliciting shareholder approval, as applicable.

(2)            The Company shall advise the Underwriter and its counsel if it is aware that any 10% or greater shareholder of the Company becomes an affiliate or associated person of a Member participating in the distribution of the Company's Securities.

(r)            Investment Company. The Company shall cause the proceeds of the Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants to be held in the Trust Account to be invested only in United States "government securities" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as set forth in the Trust Agreement and disclosed in the Statutory Prospectus and the Prospectus. The Company will otherwise conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become required to register under the Investment Company Act. Furthermore, once the Company consummates the Initial Business Combination, it will be engaged in a business other than that of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading securities.

(s)            Reservation of Shares. The Company will reserve and keep available that maximum number of its authorized but unissued securities which are issuable upon the exercise of any of the Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants outstanding from time to time and the conversion of the Founder Shares.

Prior to the earlier of the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or the liquidation of the Trust Account, the Company shall not issue (other than in replacement for lost, stolen or mutilated certificates, if applicable) any Class A Ordinary Shares, Warrants or any options or other securities convertible into Class A Ordinary Shares, or any preferred shares, in each case, which participate in any manner in the Trust Account or which vote as a class with the Class A Ordinary Shares on an Initial Business Combination.

(u)            Independent Director Review of Expenses. Prior to the earlier of the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or the liquidation of the Trust Account, the Company's audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments made to the Sponsor, any of the Company's directors or officers, or any of the Company's or their respective affiliates, with any interested directors abstaining from such review and approval.

(v)            Rule 419. The Company agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the Company from becoming subject to Rule 419 under the Act prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including, but not limited to, using commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any of the Company's outstanding securities from being deemed to be a "penny stock" as defined in Rule 3a-51-1 under the Exchange Act during such period.

(w)            Internal Controls. To the extent required by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, the Company will maintain "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) and a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that: (1) transactions are executed in accordance with management's general or specific authorization, (2) transactions are recorded as necessary in order to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets, (3) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general or specific authorization, and (4) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

(z)            Transfer and Warrant Agent. For a period commencing on the Effective Date and ending five (5) years from the date of the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or until such earlier time at which the Company is required to be liquidated or the Class A Ordinary Shares and Warrants cease to be publicly traded, the Company shall retain a transfer and warrant agent.

(aa)          Initial Business Combination.

(1)            Trust Account Waiver Acknowledgment. The Company will seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than independent accountants), prospective target businesses or other entities with which it does business enter into agreements waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of the Public Shareholders. If a prospective target business or vendors, service providers or third party were to refuse to enter into such a waiver, management may enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party's engagement would be significantly more beneficial than any alternative.

(2)            Initial Business Combination/Distribution Procedure. The Company, subject to any applicable provision of Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, may consummate the Initial Business Combination and conduct redemptions of Class A Ordinary Shares for cash upon consummation of such Initial Business Combination without a shareholder vote pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act, including the filing of tender offer documents with the Commission. Such tender offer documents will contain substantially the same financial and other information about the Initial Business Combination and the redemption rights as is required under the Commission's proxy rules and will provide each shareholder of the Company with the opportunity prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination to redeem the Class A Ordinary Shares held by such shareholder for an amount of cash equal to (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two (2) Business Days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination representing (x) the proceeds held in the Trust Account from the Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants and (y) any interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to pay taxes, divided by (B) the total number of Public Shares then outstanding. In the event the Company conducts redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company's offer to redeem will remain open for at least twenty (20) Business Days, in accordance with Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act, and the Company will not be permitted to complete the Initial Business Combination until the expiration of the tender offer period. If, however, the Company elects not to file such tender offer documents, a shareholder vote is required by law or stock exchange listing requirement in connection with the Initial Business Combination, or the Company decides to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will submit such Initial Business Combination to the Company's shareholders for their approval ("Business Combination Vote"). The Company intends to give not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior written notice of any such meeting, if required, at which a Business Combination Vote shall be taken. With respect to the Business Combination Vote, the Sponsor and the Company's initial shareholders, officers and directors have agreed to vote all of their Founder Shares and Public Shares in favor of the Company's Initial Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Initial Business Combination, the Company will offer to each Public Shareholder holding shares of Class A Ordinary Shares the right to have its shares redeemed in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules of the Commission at a per share redemption price (the "Redemption Price") equal to (I) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two (2) Business Days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination representing (1) the proceeds held in the Trust Account from the Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants and (2) any interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to pay taxes, divided by (II) the total number of Public Shares then outstanding. If the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Initial Business Combination, the Company may proceed with such Initial Business Combination only if a majority of the shares voted are voted to approve such Initial Business Combination. If, after seeking and receiving such shareholder approval, the Company elects to so proceed, it will redeem shares, at the Redemption Price, from those Public Shareholders who validly and affirmatively requested (and did not validly withdraw) such redemption. Only Public Shareholders holding Class A Ordinary Shares who properly exercise their redemption rights, in accordance with the applicable tender offer or proxy materials related to such Initial Business Combination, shall be entitled to receive distributions from the Trust Account in connection with an Initial Business Combination, and the Company shall pay no distributions with respect to any other holders or shares of the Company in connection therewith. In the event that the Company does not effect an Initial Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) Business Days thereafter, redeem 100% of the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to pay taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company's remaining shareholders and the Company's board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company's obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Only Public Shareholders holding Class A Ordinary Shares included in the Securities shall be entitled to receive such redemption amounts and the Company shall pay no such redemption amounts or any distributions in liquidation with respect to any other shares of the Company. The Company will not propose any amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to modify the substance or timing of the Company's obligation to provide for the redemption of the Public Shares in connection with an Initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if it does not complete its Initial Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, unless it provides its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment, as described in the Statutory Prospectus and Prospectus.

(3)            In the event that the Company desires or is required by an applicable law or regulation to cause an announcement ("Business Combination Announcement") to be placed in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times or any other news or media publication or outlet or to be made via a public filing or submission with the Commission announcing the consummation of the Initial Business Combination that indicates that the Underwriter was the underwriter in the Offering, the Company shall supply the Underwriter with a draft of the Business Combination Announcement and provide the Underwriter with a reasonable advance opportunity to comment thereon, subject to the agreement of the Underwriter to keep confidential such draft announcement in accordance with the Underwriter's standard policies regarding confidential information.

(bb)      Deferred Compensation. Upon the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, the Company will cause the Trustee to pay to the Underwriter, the Deferred Discount. Payment of the Deferred Discount will be made with proceeds of the Offering held in the Trust Account. Subject to the mechanisms set forth in Section 5(i)(b) hereof, the Underwriter shall have no claim to payment of any interest earned on the portion of the proceeds held in the Trust Account representing the Deferred Discount. If the Company fails to consummate its Initial Business Combination within the time period prescribed in the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Deferred Discount will not be paid to the Underwriter and will, instead, be included in the liquidation distribution of the proceeds held in the Trust Account made to the Public Shareholders. In connection with any such liquidation distribution, the Underwriter will forfeit any rights or claims to the Deferred Discount.

(cc)      The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect and maintain the listing of (1) the Class A Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq (or another national securities exchange) for a period commencing on the Effective Date and ending five (5) years from the date of the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or until such earlier time at which the liquidation occurs or the Class A Ordinary Shares ceases to be publicly traded, and (2) maintain the listing of the Securities on Nasdaq (or another national securities exchange) until the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or until such earlier time at which the liquidation of the Trust Account occurs.

(dd)      If at any time following the distribution of any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, any event occurs as a result of which such Written Testing-the-Waters Communication would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made at such time not misleading, the Company will (i) notify promptly the Underwriter so that use of the Written Testing-the-Waters Communication may cease until it is amended or supplemented; (ii) amend or supplement the Written Testing-the-Waters Communication to correct such statement or omission; and (iii) supply any amendment or supplement to the Underwriter in such quantities as may be reasonably requested.

(ee)      The Company will promptly notify the Underwriter if the Company ceases to be an Emerging Growth Company at any time prior to the later of (a) completion of the distribution of the Securities within the meaning of the Act and (b) completion of the 180-day restricted period referred to in Section 5(g) hereof.

(ff)      Upon the earlier to occur of the expiration or termination of the Underwriter's over-allotment option, the Company shall cancel or otherwise effect the forfeiture of Founder Shares from the Sponsor, in an aggregate amount equal to the number of Founder Shares determined by multiplying (a) 750,000 by (b) a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is 3,000,000 minus the number of Option Securities purchased by the Underwriter upon the exercise of its over-allotment option, and (ii) the denominator of which is 3,000,000. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Underwriter exercises its over-allotment option in full, the Company shall not cancel or otherwise effect the forfeiture of the Founder Shares pursuant to this subsection.

(gg)      The Company will deliver to the Underwriter executed copies of the Trust Agreement, the Warrant Agreement, the Securities Subscription Agreement, the Warrant Purchase Agreement, the Administrative Services Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Insider Letter.

(hh)      In no event will the amounts payable by the Company under the Administrative Services Agreement be more than $10,000 per month in the aggregate for office space, administrative and support services from the date hereof until the earlier of the consummation of an Initial Business Combination and the Company's liquidation.

(a)            The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of the Underwriter, each person who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other U.S. federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any "road show" as defined in Rule 433(h) of the Act or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Underwriter consists of the information described in the last sentence of Section 8(b) hereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have.

(b)            The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to the Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriter specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Underwriter may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the statements set forth in (i) the last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of Securities and, (ii) in the section entitled “Underwriting” of the Statutory Prospectus and Prospectus, the 16th and 17th paragraphs concerning the purchase and sale of Securities in the open market and other stabilizing transactions by the underwriters and penalty bids, constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Underwriter for inclusion in any Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus.

(c)            Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof and appoint counsel of the indemnifying party's choice at the indemnifying party's expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party's election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d)            In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b)  of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Underwriter severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively, "Losses") to which the Company and the Underwriter may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Underwriter on the other from the Offering. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Underwriter severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriter on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Underwriter shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions actually received by the Underwriter, as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriter on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), in no event shall the Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter with respect to the Offering exceeds the amount of any damages that the Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee, affiliate and agent of the Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as the Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

9.            [RESERVED]

10.            Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Underwriter, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such delivery and payment (i) trading in the Company's Securities, Class A Ordinary Shares or Warrants shall have been suspended by the Commission or the Nasdaq (or successor trading market) or trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq (or successor trading market) shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such exchange or trading market, (ii) the Company shall not have obtained authorization for quotation of the Securities, Class A Ordinary Shares, or Warrants on the Nasdaq (or successor trading market), (iii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by U.S. federal or New York State authorities, (iv) there shall have occurred a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other national or international calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Underwriter, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Statutory Prospectus or the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

11.            Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(a)            In the event that the Underwriter is a Covered Entity and becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from the Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b)            In the event that the Underwriter is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of the Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against the Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

12.            Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Underwriter set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriter or the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.
