PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT


 


THIS
PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of [·], 2021 (as it may
from time to time be amended, this “Agreement”), is entered into by and between Disruptive Acquisition
Corporation I, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), and
Disruptive Acquisition Sponsor I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”).


 


WHEREAS, the Company
intends to consummate an initial public offering of the Company’s units (the “Public Offering”),
each unit consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (an “Ordinary Share”),
and one-third of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Ordinary Share at an exercise price
of $11.50 per Ordinary Share. The Purchaser has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 4,666,667 warrants (or 5,166,667 in the aggregate
if the over-allotment option in connection with the Public Offering is exercised in full) (the “Private Placement Warrants”),
each Private Placement Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject
to adjustment.


 


NOW THEREFORE, in consideration
of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby, intending legally to be bound, agree as follows:

as a “Closing Date”), the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase
from the Company, up to an aggregate of 500,000 additional Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant for an aggregate
purchase price of up to $750,000 (if the over-allotment option in connection with the Public Offering is exercised in full) (the

Section 3.          Representations
and Warranties of the Purchaser. As a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement and issue and sell
the Private Placement Warrants to the Purchaser, the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company (which representations
and warranties shall survive each Closing Date) that:


 


A.          Organization
and Requisite Authority. The Purchaser possesses all requisite power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.


 


B.          Authorization;
No Breach.


 


(i)          This
Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting
creditors’ rights and to general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or law).


 


(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 conflict with or result in a breach by the Purchaser of the terms, conditions or
provisions of any agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which the Purchaser is subject.


 


C.          Investment
Representations.


 


(i)          The
Purchaser is acquiring the Private Placement Warrants and, upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, the Shares issuable
upon such exercise (collectively, 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
ultimate parent of the Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D,
and the ultimate parent of 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) 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.


 


(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


 




    3


    


    

register
the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption
thereunder. While the Purchaser understands that Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell
companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company,
the Purchaser understands that Rule 144 includes an exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met: (i) the
issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company; (ii) the issuer of the securities
is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”); (iii) the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed,
as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials),
other than Form 8-K reports; and (iv) at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information
with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.


 


(viii)      The
Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, knows 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 investment in the Securities.
