“Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); 

WHEREAS, the Purchaser has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 700,000 Shares (or 760,000 Shares in the aggregate if the over-allotment option
in connection with the Public Offering is exercised in full) (the “Private Placement Shares”), at a purchase price of $10.00 per Class A share.

 (ii) The execution and delivery by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the fulfillment of
and compliance with the terms hereof by the Purchaser does not and shall not as of each Closing Date (a) conflict with or result in a breach by the Purchaser of the terms, conditions or provisions of, (b) constitute a default under,

date hereof under federal or state securities laws. 
 C. Investment Representations. 

(i) The Purchaser is acquiring the Private Placement Shares (the “Securities”), for the Purchaser’s own account, for
investment purposes only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, any public sale or distribution thereof. 
 (ii) The
Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D, and the Purchaser has not experienced a disqualifying event as enumerated pursuant to Rule 506(d) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

 (iii) The Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and will be sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the
registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth
herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire such Securities. 
 (iv)
The Purchaser did not decide to enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. 

(v) The Purchaser has been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials
relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by the Purchaser. The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the executive officers and directors of the Company. The Purchaser understands that its
investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk and it has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of the Securities. 

(vi) The Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or
made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities by the Purchaser nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities. 

  
 4 













 (vii) The Purchaser understands that: (a) the Securities have not been and are not
being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (1) subsequently registered thereunder or (2) sold in reliance on an exemption therefrom; and
(b) except as specifically set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the
terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. In this regard, the Purchaser understands that the SEC has taken the position that promoters or affiliates of a blank check company and their transferees, both before and after an initial Business
Combination, are deemed to be “underwriters” under the Securities Act when reselling the securities of a blank check company. Based on that position, Rule 144 adopted pursuant to the Securities Act would not be available for resale
transactions of the Securities despite technical compliance with the requirements of such Rule, and the Securities can be resold only through a registered offering or in reliance upon another exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act. 
 (viii) The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, knowledge of the high degree of
risk associated with investments in the securities of companies in the development stage such as the Company, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in
the Securities in the amount contemplated hereunder for an indefinite period of time. The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current financial needs and contingencies and will have no current or anticipated future needs for liquidity
which would be jeopardized by the investment in the Securities. The Purchaser can afford a complete loss of its investments in the Securities. 

(ix) The Purchaser understands that the Private Placement Shares shall bear the legend substantially in the form set forth below: 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE 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. THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION, OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN PRIVATE PLACEMENT
SHARES PURCHASE AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG THE HOLDER AND THE COMPANY. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”

F. Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument
executed by all parties hereto.
