PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of [          ], 2021 (as it may from time to time be amended, this “Agreement”), is entered into by and between Black Mountain Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Black Mountain 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 (the “Common Stock”), and one warrant as set forth in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-[          ]) (the “Registration Statement”), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Purchaser has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 6,000,000 warrants (or up to 6,600,000 warrants if the over-allotment option in connection with the Public Offering is exercised in full) (the “Private Placement Warrants”), each Private Placement Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock 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:
