Exhibit 10.3
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TRUST AGREEMENT
This Agreement is made as of [●], 2022 by and between XX Xxxxxx Acquisition Corporation I (the “Company”), and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”).
WHEREAS, the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1, File No. 333-264314 (the “Registration Statement”), and prospectus (the “Prospectus”) for its initial public offering of securities (“IPO”) of the Company’s units (the “Units”), each of which consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), one redeemable warrant, each warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock and one right to receive 1/8 of one share of common stock upon the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination, has been declared effective as of the date hereof (“Effective Date”) by the Securities and Exchange Commission (capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Registration Statement); and
WHEREAS, the Company has entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with XX Xxxxxx division of Benchmark Investments, LLC as the representative of the underwriters in the IPO (the “Representative”); and
WHEREAS, as described in the Prospectus, and in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, an aggregate of $101,000,000 of the proceeds of the IPO ($116,150,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) and the proceeds of a private placement of units occurring simultaneously with the closing of the purchase of the Company’s units in the IPO, plus any amounts to be deposited in connection with an Extension (as defined below), will be delivered to the Trustee to be deposited and held in a segregated trust account for the benefit of the Company and the holders of the Common Stock included in the Units issued in the IPO as hereinafter provided (the proceeds to be delivered to the Trustee (and any interest subsequently earned thereon) will be referred to herein as the “Property”; the stockholders for whose benefit the Trustee shall hold the Property will be referred to as the “Public Stockholders,” and the Public Stockholders and the Company will be referred to together as the “Beneficiaries”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, a portion of the Property equal to $3,500,000, or $4,025,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full, is attributable to deferred underwriting discounts and commissions that will be payable by the Company to the underwriters upon and concurrently with the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Deferred Discount”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, we will have until 9 months from the closing of this offering to consummate a Business Combination (the “Initial Deadline”). However, if we anticipate that we may not be able to consummate a Business Combination within 9 months, we may extend the period of time to consummate a business combination up to nine times, each by an additional one-month period (an “Extension”) for a total of up to 18 months to complete a business combination. Pursuant to the terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, in order to extend the time available for us to consummate our initial business combination, our sponsor or its affiliates or designees, upon five days advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, must deposit into the trust account $500,000 (or $575,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full), or $0.05 per share for each one-month extension, on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, or up to an aggregate of $4,500,000 (or $5,175,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full), or $0.45 per share if we extend for the full nine months; and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Trustee desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Trustee shall hold the Property.
NOW THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:
1. Agreements and Covenants of Trustee. The Trustee hereby agrees and covenants to:
(a) Hold the Property in trust for the Beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in a segregated trust account (“Trust Account”) established by the Trustee at X.X.

The Trustee shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement or any of the terms hereof, unless evidenced by a written instrument delivered to the Trustee signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Trustee are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto;

In the event the Trustee has any Claim against the Company under this Agreement, including, without limitation, under Section 3(b) or Section 3(c) hereof, the Trustee shall pursue such Claim solely against the Company and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the Property or any monies in the Trust Account.
