and the Company hereby agrees to sell to Subscriber, on the Closing Date (as defined below) the Initial Units in consideration

2. Representations
and Warranties of Subscriber


 


Subscriber represents
and warrants to the Company that:


 


2.1. No Government
Recommendation or Approval. Subscriber understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or
endorsement of the Company or the Offering of the Securities.


 


2.2. Accredited Investor.
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 that the sale contemplated hereby
is being made in reliance, among other things, on a private placement exemption to “accredited investors” under the
Securities Act and similar exemptions under state law.


 


2.3. Intent. Subscriber
is purchasing the Securities solely for investment purposes, for Subscriber’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, Subscriber and the Company, as described in the Registration
Statement), and not with a view to the distribution thereof and Subscriber has no present arrangement to sell the Securities to
or through any person or entity except as may be permitted under the Insider Letter. Subscriber shall not engage in hedging transactions
with regard to the Securities unless in compliance with the Securities Act.


 


2.4. Restrictions on
Transfer. Subscriber acknowledges and understands the Units are being offered in a transaction not involving a public offering
in the United States within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act
and, if in the future Subscriber decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Securities, such Securities may be
offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only (A) pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities
Act, (B) pursuant to an exemption from registration under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, if available, or (C) pursuant
to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each case in accordance with
any applicable securities laws of any state or any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscriber acknowledges and
understands the Securities are subject to transfer restrictions as described in Section 8 hereof. Subscriber agrees that if any
transfer of its Securities 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 with respect to such transfer. Absent
registration or another available exemption from registration, Subscriber agrees it will not resell the Securities (unless otherwise
permitted pursuant to the Insider Letter, as described in the Registration Statement). Subscriber further acknowledges that because
the Company is a shell company, Rule 144 may not be available to Subscriber for the resale of the Securities until the one-year
anniversary following consummation of the Business Combination of the Company, despite technical compliance with the requirements
of Rule 144 and the release or waiver of any contractual transfer restrictions.


 


2.5. Sophisticated
Investor.


 


(i) Subscriber is
sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Securities.


 


(ii) Subscriber is
aware that an investment in the Securities is highly speculative and subject to substantial risks because, among other things,
the Securities are subject to transfer restrictions and have not been registered under the Securities Act and therefore cannot
be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Subscriber
is able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time.


 


2.6. Independent Investigation.
Subscriber, in making the decision to purchase the Units, has relied upon an independent investigation of the Company and has not
relied upon any information or representations made by any third parties or upon any oral or written representations or assurances
from the Company, its officers, directors or employees or any other representatives or agents of the Company, other than as set
forth in this Agreement. Subscriber is familiar with the business, operations and financial condition of the Company and has had
an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from the Company’s officers and directors concerning the Company
and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Units and has had full access to such other information concerning the Company
as Subscriber has requested. Subscriber confirms that all documents that it has requested have been made available and that Subscriber
has been supplied with all of the additional information concerning this investment which Subscriber has requested.


 


2.7 Organization and
Authority. Subscriber is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and it possesses
all requisite power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.


 






    	2



     


    

 


2.8. Authority. This
Agreement has been validly authorized, executed and delivered by Subscriber and is a valid and binding agreement enforceable in
accordance with its terms, subject to the general principles of equity and to bankruptcy or other laws affecting the enforcement
of creditors’ rights generally.


 


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


 


2.10. No Legal Advice
from Company. Subscriber acknowledges it has had the opportunity to review this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and the other agreements entered into between the parties hereto with Subscriber’s own legal counsel and investment
and tax advisors. Except for any statements or representations of the Company made in this Agreement and the other agreements entered
into between the parties hereto, Subscriber is relying solely on such counsel and advisors and not on any statements or representations
of the Company or any of its representatives or agents for legal, tax or investment advice with respect to this investment, the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the securities laws of any jurisdiction.


 


2.11. Reliance on Representations
and Warranties. Subscriber understands the Units are being offered and sold to Subscriber in reliance on exemptions from the registration
requirements under the Securities Act, and analogous provisions in the laws and regulations of various states, and that the Company
is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Subscriber
set forth in this Agreement in order to determine the applicability of such provisions.


 


2.12. No General Solicitation.
Subscriber is not subscribing for the Units as a result of or subsequent to any general solicitation or general advertising, including
but not limited to any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media
or broadcast over television or radio, or presented at any seminar or meeting or in a registration statement with respect to the
IPO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).


 


2.13. Legend. Subscriber
acknowledges and agrees the certificates evidencing each of the Securities shall bear a restrictive legend (the “Legend”),
in form and substance substantially as set forth in Section 4 hereof.

5. Waiver of Liquidation
Distributions.


 


In connection with
the Securities purchased pursuant to this Agreement, Subscriber hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any
kind in or to any distributions of the amounts in the Trust Account with respect to the Securities, whether (i) in connection with
the exercise of redemption rights if the Company consummates the Business Combination, (ii) in connection with any tender offer
conducted by the Company prior to a Business Combination, (iii) upon the Company’s redemption of shares of Common Stock sold
in the Company’s IPO upon the Company’s failure to timely complete the Business Combination or (iv) in connection with

any additional shares so purchased shall be eligible to receive the redemption value of such shares of Common Stock upon the same

Warrants.


 


6.1 Terms. Each Placement
Warrant shall have the terms set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

Rights as Holder. If the Placement Warrants are terminated in accordance with Section 6.1, then after such time Subscriber (or
its successor in interest) shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such Placement Warrants and the Company shall take such

attorney for the purpose of effectuating the foregoing and agrees to take any and all measures reasonably requested by the Company
necessary to effect the foregoing.


 


7. Rescission Right
Waiver and Indemnification.


 


7.1. Subscriber understands
and acknowledges an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act requires there be no general solicitation
of purchasers of the Units. In this regard, if the IPO were deemed to be a general solicitation with respect to the Units, the
offer and sale of such Units may not be exempt from registration and, if not, Subscriber may have a right to rescind its purchase
of the Units. In order to facilitate the completion of the Offering and in order to protect the Company, its stockholders and the
amounts in the Trust Account from claims that may adversely affect the Company or the interests of its stockholders, Subscriber
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 Units. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees this waiver is being made
in order to induce the Company to sell the Units to Subscriber. Subscriber agrees 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 Units hereunder or relating to the purchase of the
Units and the transactions contemplated hereby.


 


7.2. Subscriber agrees
not to seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever in connection with its purchase of the Units or any Claim
that may arise now or in the future.


 


7.3. Subscriber acknowledges
and agrees that the stockholders of the Company are and shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 7.


 






    	5



     


    

 


7.4. Subscriber agrees
that to the extent any waiver of rights under this Section 7 is ineffective as a matter of law, Subscriber 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. Subscriber acknowledges the receipt and sufficiency of consideration received from the Company hereunder in this regard.


 


8. Terms of the
Units and Placement Warrants


 


8.1 The Units and their
component parts are substantially identical to the units to be offered in the IPO except that: (i) the Units and component parts
will be subject to transfer restrictions, except in limited circumstances, until 30 days following the consummation of the Business
Combination, (ii) the Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by Subscriber (or any of its permitted
transferees), and may be exercisable on a “cashless” basis if held by Subscriber or its permitted transferees, as further
