WHEREAS, the Company desires to sell to the Subscriber on a private placement basis (the “Offering”) an aggregate of 610,000 units
(the “ Initial Units” and, together with the Additional Units (as defined below), the “Units”) of the Company (or up to 632,500 Units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option in connection with the IPO (as defined below)

initial business combination (the “Business Combination”), as such term is defined in the registration statement in connection with the IPO, as amended, at the time it becomes effective (the “Registration Statement”), and

WHEREAS, the Subscriber wishes to purchase 610,000 Units (or up to 632,500 Units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised
in full), and the Company wishes to accept such subscription from Subscriber. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the
mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and Subscriber hereby agree as follows: 

1. Agreement to Subscribe 
 1.1.
Purchase and Issuance of the Units. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Subscriber hereby agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to sell to the Subscriber, on the Closing Date (as
defined below) the Units in consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price (as defined below). On the Closing Date, the Company shall, at its option, deliver to the Subscriber the certificates representing the Securities purchased or effect such

 1.2. Purchase Price. 
  

	 	(i)	 As payment in full for the Units being purchased under this Agreement, the Subscriber shall pay $6,100,000 (the

Company, maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee (“Continental”), one (1) business day prior to the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement. 



 

	 	(ii)	 In the event that the over-allotment option is exercised in full or in part, Subscriber shall purchase up to an
additional 22,500 Units (the “Additional Units”), in the same proportion as the amount of the over-allotment option that is exercised, and simultaneously with such purchase of Additional Units, as payment in full for the Additional
Units being purchased hereunder, and at least one (1) business day prior to the closing of all or any portion of the over-allotment option, Purchaser shall pay $10.00 per Additional Unit, up to an aggregate amount of $225,000, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds or by such other method as may be reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the Trust Account. 



1.3. Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Units shall take place simultaneously with the closing of the IPO (the “
Initial Closing Date”). The closing of the purchase and sale of the Additional Units, if applicable, shall take place simultaneously with the closing of all or any portion of the over-allotment option (such closing date, together with the
Initial Closing Date, the “Closing Dates” and each, a “Closing Date”). The closing of the purchase and sale of each of the Initial Units and the Additional Units shall take place at the offices of Ellenoff Grossman &
Schole LLP, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 11th Floor, New York, New York, 10105, or such other place as may be agreed upon by the parties hereto. 












 1.4 Termination. This Agreement and each of the obligations of the undersigned shall
be null and void and without effect if a Closing Date does not occur prior to December 31, 2021. 
 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 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. 












 2.5. 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. 
 2.8.
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 (“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.
