RE: Securities Subscription Agreement 


 


Ladies and Gentlemen:


 


This agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into
on September 30, 2021 by and between ABRI Ventures 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Subscriber” or
“you”), and ABRI SPAC 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “we” or
“us”). Pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company hereby accepts the offer the Subscriber has made to purchase 2,875,000
shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share of the Company (the “Shares”), up to 375,000 of which are subject
to forfeiture by you if the underwriters of the initial public offering (“IPO”) of units (“Units”)
of the Company, do not fully exercise their over-allotment option (the “Over-allotment Option”). The Company and the
Subscriber’s agreements regarding such Shares are as follows:


 


1. Purchase of Securities.


 


1.1. Purchase of Shares. For
the sum of $25,000 (the “Purchase Price”), which the Company acknowledges receiving in cash, the Company hereby issues
the Shares to the Subscriber, and the Subscriber hereby purchases the Shares from the Company, subject to forfeiture, on the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.  Concurrently with the Subscriber’s
execution of this Agreement, the Company shall, at its option, deliver to the Subscriber a certificate registered in the Subscriber’s
name representing the shares (the “Original Certificate”), or effect such delivery in book-entry form.


 


2. Representations, Warranties and Agreements.


 


2.1. Subscriber’s Representations,
Warranties and Agreements. To induce the Company to issue the Shares to the Subscriber, the Subscriber hereby represents and warrants
to the Company and agrees with the Company as follows:


 


2.1.1. No Government Recommendation or
Approval. The Subscriber understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of
the offering of the Shares.


 


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


 


2.1.3. Organization and Authority.
The Subscriber is a Delaware limited liability company, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware and possesses
all requisite power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Upon execution and delivery
by you, this Agreement is a legal, valid and binding agreement of Subscriber, enforceable against Subscriber in accordance with its terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought
in a proceeding at law or in equity).


 






     


     


    

 


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


 


2.1.5. Access to Information; Independent
Investigation. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Subscriber 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, Subscriber has relied solely on Subscriber’s own knowledge and understanding of the Company and
its business based upon Subscriber’s own due diligence investigation and the information furnished pursuant to this paragraph. Subscriber
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 Subscriber 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.


 


2.1.6. Regulation D Offering. Subscriber
represents that it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and acknowledges the sale contemplated hereby is being made in reliance
on a private placement exemption to “accredited investors” within the meaning of Section 501(a) of Regulation D under the
Securities Act or similar exemptions under state law.


 


2.1.7. Investment Purposes. The Subscriber
is purchasing the Shares solely for investment purposes, for the Subscriber’s own account and not for the account or benefit of
any other person, and not with a view towards the distribution or dissemination thereof. The Subscriber 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.


 


2.1.8. Restrictions on Transfer; Shell
Company. Subscriber understands the Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving a public offering within the meaning of
the Securities Act. Subscriber understands the Shares will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3)
under the Securities Act, and Subscriber understands that the certificates or book-entries representing the Shares will contain a legend
in respect of such restrictions. If in the future the Subscriber decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Shares, such
Shares may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only pursuant to: (i) registration under the Securities Act, or (ii) an
available exemption from registration. Subscriber agrees that if any transfer of its Shares or any interest therein is proposed to be
made, as a condition precedent to any such transfer, Subscriber may be required to deliver to the Company an opinion of counsel satisfactory
to the Company. Absent registration or an exemption, the Subscriber agrees not to resell the Shares. Subscriber further acknowledges that
because the Company is a shell company, Rule 144 may not be available to the Subscriber for the resale of the Shares until one year following
consummation of the initial business combination of the Company, despite technical compliance with the requirements of Rule 144 and the
release or waiver of any contractual transfer restrictions.


 


2.1.9. No Governmental Consents. No
governmental, administrative or other third party consents or approvals are required, necessary or appropriate on the part of Subscriber
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

2.2. Company’s Representations,
Warranties and Agreements. To induce the Subscriber to purchase the Shares, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Subscriber
and agrees with the Subscriber as follows:


 


2.2.1. Organization and Corporate Power.
The Company is a Delaware corporation and is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably
be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, operating results or assets of the Company. The Company possesses
all requisite corporate power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.


 


2.2.2. No Conflicts. The execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby do not violate,
conflict with or constitute a default under (i) the Certificate of Incorporation or By Laws of the Company, (ii) any agreement, indenture
or instrument to which the Company is a party or (iii) any law, statute, rule or regulation to which the Company is subject, or any agreement,
order, judgment or decree to which the Company is subject.


 


2.2.3. Title to Securities. Upon issuance
in accordance with, and payment pursuant to, the terms hereof, the Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Upon issuance in accordance with, and payment pursuant to, the terms hereof, the Subscriber will have or receive good title to the Shares,
free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances of any kind, other than (a) transfer restrictions hereunder and other agreements
to which the Shares may be subject which have been notified to the Subscriber in writing, (b) transfer restrictions under federal and
state securities laws, and (c) liens, claims or encumbrances imposed due to the actions of the Subscriber.


 


2.2.4. No Adverse Actions. There are
no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending, threatened against or affecting the Company which: (i) seek to restrain, enjoin,
prevent the consummation of or otherwise affect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) question the validity or legality
of any transactions or seeks to recover damages or to obtain other relief in connection with any transactions.


 


3. Forfeiture of Shares.


 


3.1. Partial or No Exercise of the
Over-allotment Option. In the event the Over-allotment Option granted to the underwriters of the IPO is not exercised in full, the
Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it (or, if applicable, it and any transferees of Shares) shall forfeit any and all rights to such
number of Shares (up to an aggregate of 187,500 Shares and pro rata based upon the percentage of the Over-allotment Option exercised)
such that immediately following such forfeiture, the Subscriber (and all other initial stockholders prior to the IPO, if any) will own
an aggregate number of Shares, not including Shares issuable upon exercise of any warrants or any Common Stock purchased by Subscriber
in the IPO or in the aftermarket equal to 20% of the issued and outstanding Shares immediately following the IPO.


 


3.2. Termination of Rights as Stockholder.
If any of the Shares are forfeited in accordance with this Section 3, then after such time the Subscriber (or successor in interest),
shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such forfeited Shares, and the Company shall take such action as is appropriate to cancel
such forfeited Shares.


 


3.3. Share Certificates. In
the event an adjustment to the Original Certificates, if any, is required pursuant to this Section 3, then the Subscriber shall return
such Original Certificates to the Company or its designated agent as soon as practicable upon its receipt of notice from the Company advising
Subscriber of such adjustment, following which a new certificate (the “New Certificate”), if any, shall be issued in
such amount representing the adjusted number of Shares held by the Subscriber. The New Certificate, if any, shall be returned to the Subscriber
as soon as practicable. Any such adjustment for any uncertificated securities held by the Subscriber shall be made in book-entry form.


 


4. Waiver of Liquidation Distributions; Redemption Rights.
In connection with the Shares purchased pursuant to this Agreement, the Subscriber hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or
claim of any kind in or to any distributions by the Company from the trust account which will be established for the benefit of the Company’s
public stockholders and into which substantially all of the proceeds of the IPO will be deposited (the “Trust Account”),
in the event of a liquidation of the Company upon the Company’s failure to timely complete an initial business combination. For
purposes of clarity, in the event the Subscriber purchases Shares in the IPO or in the aftermarket, any additional Shares so purchased
shall be eligible to receive any liquidating distributions by the Company. However, in no event will the Subscriber have the right to
redeem any Shares into funds held in the Trust Account upon the successful completion of an initial business combination.


 






    3


     


    

 


5. Restrictions on Transfer.


 


5.1. Securities Law Restrictions.
In addition to any restrictions to be contained in that certain letter agreement (commonly known as an “Insider Letter”)
to be dated as of the closing of the IPO by and between Subscriber and the Company, Subscriber agrees not to sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate
or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Shares unless, prior thereto (a) a registration statement on the appropriate form under
the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws with respect to the Shares proposed to be transferred shall then be effective
or (b) the Company has received an opinion from counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such registration is not required
because such transaction is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission thereunder and with all applicable state securities laws. 


 


5.2. Lock-up.
Subscriber acknowledges that the Securities will be subject to lock-up provisions (the “Lock-up”) contained in the
Insider Letter.


 


5.3. Restrictive Legends.
Any certificates representing the Shares shall have endorsed thereon legends substantially as follows:


 


“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED,
SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS
OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS WHICH, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL, IS AVAILABLE.”


 


“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO
A LOCKUP AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED DURING THE TERM OF THE LOCKUP.”


 


5.4. Additional Shares or Substituted
Securities. In the event of the declaration of a share dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other
than Shares, a spin-off, a share split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s
outstanding Shares without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities or other property which are by reason
of such transaction distributed with respect to any Shares subject to this Section 5 or into which such Shares thereby become convertible
shall immediately be subject to this Section 5 and Section 3. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the distribution of such securities or
property shall be made to the number and/or class of Shares subject to this Section 5 and Section 3.


 


5.5. Registration Rights. Subscriber
acknowledges that the Shares are being purchased pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and
will become freely tradable only after certain conditions are met or they are registered pursuant to a registration rights agreement to
be entered into with the Company prior to the closing of the IPO.


 


6. Other Agreements.


 


6.1. Further Assurances. Subscriber
agrees to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this
Agreement.


 


6.2. Notices. All notices, statements
or other documents which are required or contemplated by this Agreement shall be: (i) in writing and delivered personally or sent by first
class registered or certified mail, overnight courier service or facsimile or electronic transmission to the address designated in writing,
(ii) by facsimile to the number most recently provided to such party or such other address or fax number as may be designated in writing
by such party and (iii) by electronic mail, to the electronic mail address most recently provided to such party or such other electronic
mail address as may be designated in writing by such party. Any notice or other communication so transmitted shall be deemed to have been
given on the day of delivery, if delivered personally, on the business day following receipt of written confirmation, if sent by facsimile
or electronic transmission, one (1) business day after delivery to an overnight courier service or five (5) days after mailing if sent
by mail.

6.3. Entire Agreement. This
Agreement, together with the Insider Letter and the Registration Rights Agreement, each substantially in the form to be filed as an exhibit
to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 associated with the Company’s IPO, embodies the entire agreement and understanding between
the Subscriber and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements and understandings
relating to the subject matter hereof. No statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of any kind not expressly set forth
in this Agreement shall affect, or be used to interpret, change or restrict, the express terms and provisions of this Agreement. 


 


6.4. Modifications and Amendments.
The terms and provisions of this Agreement may be modified or amended only by written agreement executed by all parties hereto.


 


6.5. Waivers and Consents. The
terms and provisions of this Agreement may be waived, or consent for the departure therefrom granted, only by a written document executed
by the party entitled to the benefits of such terms or provisions. No such waiver or consent shall be deemed to be or shall constitute
a waiver or consent with respect to any other terms or provisions of this Agreement, whether or not similar. Each such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it was given, and shall not constitute a continuing waiver
or consent.


 


6.6. Assignment. The rights
and obligations under this Agreement may not be assigned by either party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party.


 


6.7. Benefit. All statements,
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall be binding on the parties hereto and shall inure to the
benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each party hereto. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create
any rights or obligations except among the parties hereto, and no person or entity shall be regarded as a third-party beneficiary of this
Agreement.


 


6.8. Governing Law. This Agreement
and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of New York applicable
to contracts wholly performed within the borders of such state, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.


 


6.9. 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.


 


6.10. 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.


 


6.11. 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.


 






    5


     


    

 


6.12. No Broker or Finder. Each
of the parties hereto represents and warrants to the other that no broker, finder or other financial consultant has acted on its behalf
in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in such a way as to create any liability on the other. Each
of the parties hereto agrees to indemnify and save the other harmless from any claim or demand for commission or other compensation by
any broker, finder, financial consultant or similar agent claiming to have been employed by or on behalf of such party and to bear the
cost of legal expenses incurred in defending against any such claim.


 


6.13. 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.


 


6.14. 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.


 


6.15. 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. 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.


 


6.16. Mutual Drafting. This
Agreement is the joint product of the Subscriber 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. Voting and Tender of Shares. Subscriber agrees
to vote the Shares in favor of an initial business combination that the Company negotiates and submits for approval to the Company’s
stockholders and shall not seek redemption with respect to such Shares. Additionally, the Subscriber agrees not to tender any Shares in
connection with a tender offer presented to the Company’s stockholders in connection with an initial business combination negotiated
by the Company.


 


8.  Indemnification.
Each party shall indemnify the other 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.
