PRIVATE PLACEMENT
WARRANTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT


 


THIS PRIVATE
PLACEMENT WARRANTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of August 6, 2020 (as it may from time to time be amended and including all exhibits
referenced herein, this “Agreement”), is entered into by and between Vistas Media Acquisition Company Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Vistas Media Sponsor, 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 share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (each, a “Share”),
and one redeemable warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Share. The
Purchaser has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 warrants (or 548,610 warrants in the aggregate to the extent the over-allotment
option in connection with the Public Offering is exercised) (the “Private Placement Warrants”), each Private
Placement Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Share.


 


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:


 


AGREEMENT

to the Purchaser.

Company (the “Initial Closing Date”), the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall
purchase from the Company, an aggregate of 500,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant for an aggregate
purchase price of $500,000 (the “Purchase Price”), which shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the Company in accordance with the Company’s wiring instructions at least one business day prior to the date of
effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-239819) filed in connection with the Public Offering. On

purchased by the Purchaser on such date duly registered in the Purchaser’s name to the Purchaser, or effect such delivery
in book-entry form. On the date of the consummation of the closing of the over-allotment option in connection with the Public Offering
or on such earlier time and date as may be mutually agreed by the Purchaser and the Company (each such date, an “Over-allotment
Closing Date,” and each Over-allotment Closing Date (if any) and the Initial Closing Date being sometimes referred to
herein 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 48,610 Private Placement Warrants, in the same proportion as the amount of the over-allotment
option that is exercised, at a price of $1.00 per warrant for an aggregate purchase price of up to $48,610 (if the over-allotment
option in connection with the Public Offering is exercised in full) (the “Over-allotment Purchase Price”), which
shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company in accordance with the Company’s wiring instructions.
On the Over-allotment Closing Date, upon the payment by the Purchaser of the Over-allotment Purchase Price payable by it by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the Company, the Company shall either, at its option, deliver certificates evidencing
the Private Placement Warrants purchased by the Purchaser on such date duly registered in the Purchaser’s name to the Purchaser,
or effect such delivery in book-entry form.

Private Placement Warrants shall have their terms set forth in a Warrant Agreement to be entered into by the Company and a warrant
agent, in connection with the Public Offering (a “Warrant Agreement”).


 


(ii) At
or prior to the time of the Initial Closing Date, the Company and the Purchaser shall enter into a registration rights agreement
(the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company will grant certain registration rights to
the Purchaser relating to the Private Placement Warrants and the Shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants.

A. Organization

Authorization; No Breach.

execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized and approved by the Purchaser. 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 that would materially impact
its ability to perform its obligations hereunder.


 


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 (and/or for the account
or benefit of its members or affiliates, as permitted, pursuant to the terms of an agreement (the “Insider Letter”)
to be entered into with respect to the Securities between, among others, Purchaser and the Company, as described in the registration
statement in connection with the Public Offering), 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 under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), 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) 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,
(2) sold in reliance on an exemption therefrom or (3) except as otherwise permitted pursuant to the Insider Letter; 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. While the Purchaser understands that Rule 144 under the Securities Act 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 knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, understands 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.

Section 6. Rescission Right
Waiver and Indemnification


 


6.1. Purchaser understands
and acknowledges that an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act requires there be no general solicitation
of purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants. In this regard, if the Public Offering were deemed to be a general solicitation
with respect to the Private Placement Warrants, the offer and sale of such Private Placement Warrants may not be exempt from registration
and, if not, Purchaser may have a right to rescind its purchase of the Private Placement Warrants. In order to facilitate the completion
of the Public Offering and in order to protect the Company, its stockholders and the amounts in the trust account (the “Trust
Account”) from claims that may adversely affect the Company or the interests of its stockholders, Purchaser hereby agrees
to waive, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any claims, right to sue or rights in law or arbitration, as the case
may be, to seek rescission of its purchase of the Private Placement Warrants. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees this waiver is
being made in order to induce the Company to sell the Private Placement Warrants to Purchaser. Purchaser agrees that the foregoing
waiver of rescission rights shall apply to any and all known or unknown actions, causes of action, suits, claims or proceedings
(collectively, “Claims”) and related losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, whether compensatory,
consequential or exemplary, and expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ and expert witness fees
and disbursements and all other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any Claims, whether
pending or threatened, in connection with any present or future actual or asserted right to rescind the purchase of the Private
Placement Warrants hereunder or relating to the purchase of the Private Placement Warrants and the transactions contemplated hereby.


 


6.2. Purchaser agrees
not to seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever in connection with its purchase of the Private Placement
Warrants or any Claim that may arise now or in the future.


 


6.3. Purchaser acknowledges
and agrees that the stockholders of the Company are and shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.


 


6.4. Purchaser agrees
that to the extent any waiver of rights under this Section 6 is ineffective as a matter of law, Purchaser has offered such waiver
for the benefit of the Company as an equitable right that shall survive any statutory disqualification or bar that applies to a
legal right. Purchaser acknowledges the receipt and sufficiency of consideration received from the Company hereunder in this regard.


 


Section
7. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time after December 31, 2020 upon the election by either the Company
or the Purchaser upon written notice to the other party if the closing of the Public Offering does not occur prior to such date.


 


Section
8. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All of the representations and warranties contained herein shall survive
each Closing Date.


 


Section
9. Definitions. Terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in
the registration statement on Form S-1, File No. 333-239819, as amended, which the Company has filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission.


 


Section 10. Miscellaneous.


 


A. Successors
and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or
on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors of the parties hereto whether
so expressed or not. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the parties may not assign this Agreement
without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, other than assignments by the Purchaser to its affiliates (including,
without limitation, one or more of its members).


 


B. Severability.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable
law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement.


 


C. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, none of which need contain the signatures of more than
one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. In the event that any signature
is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “pdf” format data file, 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 facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

D. Descriptive
Headings; Interpretation. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute
a substantive part of this Agreement. The use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example
rather than by limitation.


 


E. Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of New York and for all purposes shall
be construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.


 


F. Amendments.

all parties hereto.
