1.    Commitment 

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Purchaser hereby commits to purchase, and the Company agrees to
issue and sell to the Purchaser, [•] Class A Shares, at a purchase price equal to $10.00 per Forward Purchase Share (the “Forward Purchase Shares”).

2.    Representations, Warranties and Agreements 

(a)    Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. To induce the Company to issue the Forward Purchase Shares
to the Purchaser, the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company and agrees with the Company as follows: 

(i)    Organization and Authority. The Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted. The Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement. This
Agreement, when executed and delivered by each of the parties hereto, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except (A) as limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (B) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific
performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies or (C) to the extent the indemnification provisions contained in the Registration Rights (as defined below) may be limited by applicable federal or state securities laws. 

(ii)    No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by the
Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby do not violate, conflict with or constitute a default under (A) the formation and governing documents of the Purchaser, (B) any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Purchaser is
a party, (C) any law, statute, rule or regulation to which the Purchaser is subject, or (D) any agreement, order, judgment or decree to which the Purchaser is subject.

 (iv)    Adequacy of Financing. At the time of the Closing, the
Purchaser will have available to it sufficient funds to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement. 

(v)    Experience, Financial Capability and Suitability. The Purchaser is: (A) sophisticated in financial
matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Forward Purchase Shares and (B) able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Forward Purchase Shares for an indefinite period of time because the Forward
Purchase Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration
is available. The Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its own interests. The Purchaser must bear the economic risk of this investment until the Forward Purchase
Shares are sold pursuant to: (1) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (2) an exemption from registration available with respect to such sale. The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risks of an investment in
the Forward Purchase Shares and to afford a complete loss of the Purchaser’s investment in the Forward Purchase Shares. 

(vi)    Access to Information; Independent Investigation. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser
has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from representatives of the Company concerning an investment in the Company, as well as the finances, operations, business and prospects of the Company, and the opportunity to obtain
additional information to verify the accuracy of all information so obtained. In determining whether to make this investment, the Purchaser has relied solely on the Purchaser’s own knowledge and understanding of the Company and its business
based upon the Purchaser’s own due diligence investigation and the information furnished pursuant to this paragraph. The Purchaser understands that no person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations which were
not furnished pursuant to this Section 2 and the Purchaser has not relied on any other representations or information in making its investment decision, whether written or oral, relating to the Company, its operations
and/or its prospects. 
 (vii)    Investment Purposes. The Purchaser is purchasing the Forward Purchase Shares
solely for investment purposes and not with a view towards the further distribution or dissemination thereof. Accredited Investor. The Purchaser is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act. 
 (viii)    No Bad Actor. After due inquiry, neither the Purchaser, nor any person who for
purposes of Rule 506(d) and Rule 506(e) (collectively, the “Bad Actor Rule”) of the Securities Act beneficially owns or will beneficially own an interest in the Purchaser (or any other person described in the first paragraph of
clause (1) of Rule 506(d)) is, or has been subject to any conviction, order, judgment, decree, suspension, expulsion, bar or other matter described in the Bad Actor Rule, whether it occurred or was issued before, on or after
September 23, 2013. 
 (ix)    No General Solicitation. 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 under the Securities Act.

 (x)    No Government Recommendation or Approval. The Purchaser
understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the offering of the Forward Purchase Shares. 

(xi)    No Public Market. The Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Forward Purchase
Shares, and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Forward Purchase Shares. 

(xii)    High Degree of Risk. The Purchaser understands that its agreement to purchase the Forward Purchase Shares
involves a high degree of risk which could cause the Purchaser to lose all or part of its investment, and that it will be contractually obligated to vote any Class A Shares held by it in favor of the Business Combination as provided herein.

 (xiii)    Restrictions on Transfer; Shell Company. The Purchaser understands the Forward Purchase Shares are
being offered in a transaction not involving a public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Purchaser understands the Forward Purchase Shares will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the
Securities Act and the Purchaser understands that any certificates representing the Forward Purchase Shares will contain a legend in respect of such restrictions. If in the future the Purchaser decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer
the Forward Purchase Shares, such securities may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only pursuant to: (A) registration under the Securities Act or (B) an available exemption from registration. The Purchaser agrees that if
any transfer of its Forward Purchase Shares or any interest therein is proposed to be made, as a condition precedent to any such transfer, the Purchaser may be required to deliver to the Company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company.
Absent registration or an exemption, the Purchaser agrees not to resell the Forward Purchase Shares. The Purchaser further acknowledges that because the Company is a shell company (i.e., a company with no or nominal operations and assets, other than
cash or cash equivalents), Rule 144 may not be available to the Purchaser for the resale of the Forward Purchase Shares until one (1) year following the filing of a Form 8-K announcing the consummation of
the Business Combination. 
 (xiv)    Residence. The Purchaser’s principal place of business is the office
or offices located at the address of the Purchaser set forth on the signature page hereof. If different from the Purchaser’s place of business, the Purchaser has also indicated on the signature page the address of the offices at which Purchaser
has executed and delivered this Agreement and made its investment decision.

Members. The Purchaser is neither a person associated nor affiliated with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC. Upon request of the Company, the Purchaser shall confirm this representation with respect to any other member of the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) that is participating in the IPO. 
 (xvi)    No Other
Representations and Warranties; Non-Reliance. Except for the specific representations and warranties contained in this Section 2 and in any certificate or agreement delivered
pursuant hereto, none of the Purchaser nor any person acting on behalf of the Purchaser nor any of the Purchaser’s affiliates (the “Purchaser Parties”) has made, makes or shall be deemed to make any other express or implied
representation or warranty with respect to the Purchaser and this offering, and the Purchaser Parties disclaim any such representation or warranty. Except for the specific representations and warranties expressly made by the Company in
Section 2 of this Agreement and in any certificate or agreement delivered pursuant hereto, the Purchaser Parties specifically disclaim that they are relying upon any other representations or warranties that may have been
made by the Company, any person on behalf of the Company or the Sponsor or any of the Company’s other affiliates (collectively, the “Company Parties”).

(l)    Jurisdiction. The parties (i) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the
state courts of New York for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement, (ii) 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 and (iii) 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. 
 (m)    Severability. In the event that any court of
competent jurisdiction shall determine that any provision, or any portion thereof, contained in this Agreement shall be unreasonable or unenforceable in any respect, then such provision shall be deemed limited to the extent that such court deems it
reasonable and enforceable, and as so limited shall remain in full force and effect. In the event that such court shall deem any such provision, or portion thereof, wholly unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless
remain in full force and effect. 
 (n)    No Waiver of Rights, Powers and Remedies. No failure or delay by a
party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party. No single or partial exercise of any right,
power or remedy under this Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Agreement
shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any
circumstances without such notice or demand. 
 (o)    Survival of Representations and Warranties. All
representations and warranties made by the parties hereto in this Agreement or in any other agreement, certificate or instrument provided for or contemplated hereby, shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and any investigations made by or
on behalf of the parties. 
 (p)    Headings and Captions. The headings and captions of the various subdivisions
of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way modify or affect the meaning or construction of any of the terms or provisions hereof. 

(q)    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which when taken together
shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that
any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or any other form of electronic delivery, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and
effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

 (r)    Construction. 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. 

(s)    Mutual Drafting. This Agreement is the joint product of the Purchaser and the Company and each provision
hereof has been subject to the mutual consultation, negotiation and agreement of such parties and shall not be construed for or against any party hereto. 

7.    Indemnification Each party shall indemnify the others against any loss, cost or damages (including reasonable
attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred as a result of such party’s breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement. 

8.    Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing: 

(a)    by mutual written consent of the Company and the Purchaser; 

(b)    automatically: 

(i)    if the IPO is not consummated on or prior to December 31, 2020; 

(ii)    if the Business Combination is not consummated within 24 months from the IPO Closing, or such longer period as
gives effect to any extensions beyond such term effected pursuant to Charter; or 
 (iii)    if the Purchaser or the
Company becomes subject to any voluntary or involuntary petition under the United States federal bankruptcy laws or any state, non-US or other applicable insolvency law, in each case which is not withdrawn
within sixty (60) days after being filed, or a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer is appointed by a court for business or property of the Purchaser or the Company, in each case which is not removed, withdrawn or terminated within sixty
(60) days after such appointment. 
 In the event of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 8, the Purchase Price (and interest thereon, if any), if previously paid, and all Purchaser’s funds paid in connection herewith shall be promptly returned to the Purchaser, and thereafter this Agreement shall
forthwith become null and void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of the Purchaser or the Company and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, or shareholders and all rights and obligations of
each party shall cease; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 8 shall relieve either party from liabilities or damages arising out of any fraud or willful breach by such party of any of its
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

 9.    Disclosure The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that
(a) the terms of this Agreement will be disclosed in the Registration Statement, (b) this Agreement will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and (c) the Company will disclose the terms of this Agreement
to potential IPO investors and to potential Business Combination targets. 
 10.    Waiver of Claims Against Trust
The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is aware that the Company will establish a Trust Account for the benefit of its public shareholders upon the IPO Closing. The Purchaser, for itself and its affiliates, hereby agrees that it has no right,
title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, or any other asset of the Company as a result of any liquidation of the Company. The Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall have no right of set-off or any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”) to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account, and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account that it
may have now or in the future. In the event the Purchaser has any Claim against the Company under this Agreement, the Purchaser 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.
