an economic interest in 250,000 Founder Shares (287,500 shares if the underwriters’ over-allotment is exercised), each registered in the name of the Purchaser. In connection with the execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser is executing and

 (i) The Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase
from the Company, the Forward Purchase Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $40,000,000 (the “FPS Purchase Price”). 

(ii) Each Forward Purchase Unit will have the same terms as each Public Unit sold in the IPO, except the Forward Purchase Units are being
offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended the “Securities Act”). Each Forward Purchase Unit will consist of one Class A Share and one-half of one Warrant. Each Warrant sold as part of the Forward Purchase Units will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement to be entered into between the Company and Continental Stock
Transfer & Trust Company, as Warrant Agent, in connection with the IPO (the “Warrant Agreement”) and will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to
adjustment as described in the Warrant Agreement, and only whole Warrants will be exercisable. The Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the Business Combination Closing, and will expire five years after the Business Combination Closing or
earlier upon redemption or the liquidation of the Company, as described in the Warrant Agreement. 
 (iii) As soon as reasonably
practicable, but in no event less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Company’s entry into a definitive agreement for the Business Combination (the “Business Combination Agreement”), the Company shall provide the
Purchaser with notice (the “Initial Company Notice”) that it intends to enter into a the Business Combination Agreement and the Company shall provide the Purchaser with such other information as the Purchaser may reasonably request
so that the Purchaser may seek the approval of its investment committee to consummate the purchase of the Forward Purchase Units hereunder. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Initial Company Notice, the Purchaser shall provide
the Company with notice (the “Purchaser Notice”) of the approval of its investment committee, which notice shall constitute the binding obligation of the Purchaser to purchase the Forward Purchase Units, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. 
 (iv) The Company shall require the Purchaser to purchase the Forward Purchase Units by delivering notice to
the Purchaser, at least five (5) Business Days before the funding of the FPS Purchase Price to the Escrow Account (defined below), specifying the anticipated date of the Business Combination Closing and instructions for wiring the FPS Purchase
Price to an account of a third-party escrow agent (the “Escrow Account”) which shall be the Company’s transfer agent (the “Escrow Agent”) pursuant to an escrow agreement between the Company and the Escrow Agent
(the “Escrow Agreement”). At least two (2) Business Days before the anticipated date of the Business Combination Closing specified in such notice, the Purchaser shall deliver the FPS Purchase Price in cash via wire transfer to
the account specified in such notice, to be held in escrow pending the Business Combination Closing. If the Business Combination Closing does not occur within thirty (30) days after the Purchaser delivers the FPS Purchase Price to the Escrow
Agent, the Escrow Agreement will provide that the Escrow Agent shall automatically return to the Purchaser the FPS Purchase Price, provided that the return of the FPS Purchase Price placed in escrow shall not terminate the Agreement or
otherwise relieve either party of any of its obligations hereunder. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking
institutions are generally authorized or required by law or regulation to close in the City of New York, New York.

Closing”) shall be held on the same date and immediately prior to the Business Combination Closing (such date being referred to as the “Closing Date”). At the FPS Closing, the Company will issue to the Purchaser the
Forward Purchase Units, each registered in the name of the Purchaser, against (and concurrently with) release of the FPS Purchase Price by the Escrow Agent to the Company.

(i) The Company shall register the Purchaser as the owner of the Forward Purchase Units purchased by the Purchaser hereunder (individually or
collectively, the “Securities”) with the Company’s transfer agent by book entry on or promptly after (but in no event more than two (2) Business Days after) the date of the FPS Closing. 

(ii) Each register and book entry for the Securities shall contain a notation, and each certificate (if any) evidencing the Securities shall
be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend, in substantially the following form: 
 “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN VIOLATION OF SUCH ACT AND LAWS.” 

(d) Legend Removal. If the Securities are eligible to be sold without restriction under, and without the Company being in compliance
with the current public information requirements of, Rule 144 under the Securities Act, then at the Purchaser’s request, the Company will cause the Company’s transfer agent to remove the legend set forth in
Section 1(c)(ii). In connection therewith, if required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company will promptly cause an opinion of counsel to be delivered to and maintained with its transfer agent, together with any
other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent that authorize and direct the transfer agent to transfer such Securities without any such legend; provided, however, that the Company will not be required
to deliver any such opinion, authorization or certificate or direction if it reasonably believes that removal of the legend could result in or facilitate transfers of Securities in violation of applicable law.

All of the terms, agreements, covenants, representations, warranties, and conditions of this Agreement are binding upon, and inure to the benefit of and are enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors. Nothing in this

provided in this Agreement. 
 (f) Assignments. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no party hereto may assign either

(g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which
together will constitute one and the same instrument.

 (h) Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for
convenience only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 (i) Governing Law. This Agreement,
the entire relationship of the parties hereto, and any dispute between the parties (whether grounded in contract, tort, statute, law or equity) shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of
New York, without giving effect to its choice of laws principles. 
 (j) Jurisdiction. The parties (i) hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the state courts of New York and to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or
based upon this Agreement, (b) agree not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement except in state courts of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York,
and (c) hereby waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is
exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be
enforced in or by such court. 
 (k) Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereto hereby waive any right to a jury trial in connection
with any litigation pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 (l) Amendments. This Agreement may not be
amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except with the prior written consent of the Company, the Sponsor and the Purchaser. 

(m) Severability. The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will
not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided that if any provision of this Agreement, as applied to any party hereto or to any circumstance, is adjudged by a governmental authority, arbitrator, or
mediator not to be enforceable in accordance with its terms, the parties hereto agree that the governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator making such determination will have the power to modify the provision in a manner consistent with its
objectives such that it is enforceable, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision will then be enforceable and will be enforced. 

(n) Expenses. The Company will bear its own and the Purchaser’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation,
execution and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including all fees and expenses of agents, representatives, financial advisors, legal counsel and accountants. The Company shall be responsible
for the fees of its transfer agent; stamp taxes and all of The Depository Trust Company’s fees associated with the issuance of the Forward Purchase Units.

 (o) Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and
drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any
party hereto because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign law will be deemed also to refer to law as amended and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the
context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter
genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,”
“herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The
parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that
there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party
hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant. 
 (p) Waiver. No waiver by any party hereto of any default,
misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights
arising because of any prior or subsequent occurrence. 
 (q) Confidentiality. Except as may be required by law, regulation or
applicable stock exchange listing requirements, unless and until the transactions contemplated hereby and the terms hereof are publicly announced or otherwise publicly disclosed by the Company, the parties hereto shall keep confidential and shall
not publicly disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement. 
 (r) Specific Performance. The Purchaser agrees that irreparable
damage may occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Company shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy
at law or equity.
