Holders of shares of the Common Stock included as part of the shares sold in the Offering (the “Offering Shares”) (whether such Offering Shares were purchased in the Offering or in the secondary market following the Offering and whether or not such holders are the Sponsor or officers or directors of the Corporation, or affiliates of any of the foregoing) are referred to herein as “Public Stockholders.”

4. The Charter is hereby amended by deleting Article IX, Section 9.2(a) in its entirety and inserting the following in lieu thereof:

(a) Prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, the Corporation shall provide all holders of Offering Shares with the opportunity to have their Offering Shares redeemed, upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination pursuant to, and subject to the limitations of, Section 9.2(b) and Section 9.2(c) (such rights of such holders to have their Offering Shares redeemed pursuant to such Sections, the “Redemption Rights”) for cash equal to the applicable redemption price per share determined in accordance with Section 9.2(b) (the “Redemption Price”).

5. The Charter is hereby amended by deleting Article IX, Section 9.2(d) in its entirety and inserting the following in lieu thereof:

(d) In the event that the Corporation has not consummated an initial Business Combination by the Termination Date, the Corporation shall (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten Business Days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the Offering Shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Corporation to pay its taxes, less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses, by (B) the total number of then outstanding Offering Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the Public Stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Corporation’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

6. The Charter is hereby amended by deleting Article IX, Section 9.2(e) in its entirety and inserting the following in lieu thereof:

(e) If the Corporation offers to redeem the Offering Shares in conjunction with a stockholder vote on an initial Business Combination, the Corporation shall consummate the proposed initial Business Combination only if such initial Business Combination is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Common Stock that are voted at a stockholder meeting held to consider such initial Business Combination.

7. The Charter is hereby amended by deleting Article IX, Section 9.2(f) in its entirety.

8. The Charter is hereby amended by deleting Article IX, Section 9.4 in its entirety and inserting the following in lieu thereof:

Section 9.4: Share Issuances. Prior to the consummation of the Corporation’s initial Business Combination, the Corporation shall not issue any additional shares of capital stock of the Corporation that would entitle the holders thereof to (a) receive funds from the Trust Account or (b) vote as a class with the Class A Common Stock (i) on any initial Business Combination or (ii) to approve an amendment to this Amended and Restated Certificate to (x) extend the time the Corporation has to consummate its initial Business Combination beyond the Termination Date or (y) amend this Article IX.

9. The Charter is hereby amended by deleting Article IX, Section 9.7 in its entirety and inserting the following in lieu thereof:

Section 9.7 Additional Redemption Rights. If, in accordance with Section 9.1(a), any amendment is made to this Amended and Restated Certificate (a) to modify the substance or timing of the Corporation’s obligation to allow redemptions in connection with the Corporation’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Corporation has not consummated an initial Business Combination by the Termination Date, or (b) with respect to any other provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate relating to stockholder’s rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, the Public Stockholders shall be provided with the opportunity to redeem their Offering Shares upon the approval of any such amendment, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses, including interest not previously released to the Corporation to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Certificate of Amendment on this day of December 7, 2022.
