Re:    Initial Public Offering  

Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 This letter
(“Letter Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) entered into by and between Embrace Change Acquisition Corp., a Cayman
Islands exempted company (the “Company”), and EF Hutton, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC as representative (the “Representative”) of the several underwriters named in Schedule I thereto (the
“Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “IPO”) of the Company’s units (the “Units”), each Unit comprised of one ordinary share of the
Company, par value $0.0001 (the “Ordinary Shares”), and one warrant, each whole warrant exercisable for one Ordinary Share (each, a “Warrant”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in
paragraph 12 hereof. 
 In order to induce the Company and the Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the
IPO, and in recognition of the benefit that such IPO will confer upon the undersigned, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees, severally but not
jointly, with the Company as follows: 
 1. If the Company solicits approval of its shareholders of a Business Combination, the undersigned
will (i) vote all Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by him, her, or it, whether acquired before, in, or after the IPO, in favor of such Business Combination and (ii) not redeem any Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by him, her, or it in
connection with such shareholder approval. 
 2. (a) In the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the
time period set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Articles of Association”), the undersigned will, as promptly as
possible, take all necessary actions to cause the Company to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) not more than five (5) business days thereafter, redeem the IPO shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned funds held in the Trust Account (less up to $50,000 to pay liquidation expenses and net
of interest released to the Company to pay taxes as permitted pursuant to the Trust Agreement), divided by the number of then outstanding IPO Shares, which redemption will extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the
right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in
the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. 

(b) The undersigned hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distribution of the Trust Account
(“Claim”) with respect to the shares of Founders’ Ordinary Shares owned by the undersigned and hereby waives any Claim the undersigned may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any contracts or agreements
with the Company and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that there will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to any Warrants, all rights of which will
terminate on the Company’s liquidation. 












 [(c) In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, Wuren Fubao Inc. agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company for any debts and obligations to target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to the Company, but only to the
extent necessary to ensure that such debt or obligation does not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account below $10.15 per share; provided that such indemnity shall not apply (i) if such vendor or prospective target business executed an
agreement waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, or (ii) as to any claims under the Company’s obligation to indemnify the Underwriters against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).] 1 

3.    The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that prior to entering into a Business Combination with a target business
that is affiliated with any Insiders of the Company or their affiliates, such transaction must be approved by a majority of the Company’s disinterested independent directors and the Company must obtain an opinion from an independent investment
banking firm, or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions, that such Business Combination is fair to the Company’s unaffiliated shareholders from a financial point of view. 

4.    Neither the undersigned nor any affiliate of the undersigned will be entitled to receive and will not accept any
compensation, finder fee or other cash payment prior to, or for services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of the Business Combination; provided that the Company shall be allowed to make the payments set forth in the Registration
Statement under the caption “Prospectus Summary – The Offering – Limited payments to insiders.” 

5.    (a) The undersigned agree that they shall not Transfer any Founders’ Ordinary Shares (the “Founder Shares Lock-up”) until the earlier of (A) one (1) year after the completion of an initial Business Combination and (B) the date following the completion of an initial Business Combination on which the
Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property (the “Founder
Shares Lock-up Period”). 
 (b)    The undersigned agree that they shall
not effectuate any Transfer of Private Securities or Ordinary Shares underlying the Private Warrants until thirty (30) days after the completion of an initial Business Combination. 

(c)    Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraphs 5(a) and (b), Transfers of the Founders’ Ordinary
Shares, Private Securities and Ordinary Shares underlying the Private Securities are permitted (a) to the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliates or family members of any of the Company’s officers or directors, any members or
partners of our sponsor, Wuren Fubao Inc. (the “Sponsor”), and the Representatives, or any of their affiliates or any employees of such affiliates; (b) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of one of the individual’s
immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization; (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and
distribution upon death of the individual; (d) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (e) by private sales or Transfers made in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination at prices
no greater than the price at which the Founders’ Ordinary Shares, Private Securities or Ordinary Shares, as applicable, were originally purchased; (f) by virtue of the Sponsor’s or the Representatives’ organizational documents
upon liquidation or dissolution of the Sponsor or the Representatives, as applicable; (g) in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to the completion of a Business Combination; or (h) in the event of completion of a liquidation,
merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the completion of an initial Business
Combination; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) through (f) these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by these Transfer restrictions and the other restrictions contained in this Letter
Agreement. 
 1 For Indemnifying Entity affiliate letter only.

 (d) During the period commencing on the effective date of the Underwriting Agreement and
ending one hundred and eighty (180) days after such date, the undersigned shall not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, Transfer any Units, Ordinary Shares, Warrants or any other securities convertible into, or
exercisable or exchangeable for, Ordinary Shares held by it, her or him, as applicable, except as permitted hereunder. 

6.    (a) In order to minimize potential conflicts of interest that may arise from multiple corporate affiliations, the
undersigned hereby agrees that until the earlier of the Company’s initial Business Combination or liquidation, the undersigned shall present to the Company for its consideration, prior to presentation to any other entity, any suitable target
business, subject to any fiduciary or contractual obligations the undersigned might have. 
 (b) The undersigned hereby agrees and
acknowledges that (i) each of the Underwriters and the Company may be irreparably injured in the event of a breach of any of the obligations contained in this Letter Agreement, (ii) monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for such
breach and (iii) the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy that such party may have in law or in equity, in the event of such breach.
