is entered into by and between Hunt Companies Acquisition Corp. I, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”),
and Hunt Companies 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 Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (each, a “Share”), and one-half of
one redeemable warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Share, as set
forth in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”),
File Number 333-254542 (the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”).


 


WHEREAS, the Purchaser has
agreed to purchase an aggregate of 8,000,000 warrants (or up to 8,900,000 warrants if the underwriters in the Public Offering exercise
their option to purchase additional units in full) (the “Private Placement Warrants”), each Private Placement
Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Share, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, subject
to adjustment.

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:

or any agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which the Purchaser is subject, except for any filings required after the date

C.            
Investment Representations.


 


(i)                
The Purchaser is acquiring the Private Placement Warrants and, upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, the Shares issuable
upon such exercise (collectively, the “Securities”) for its own account, for investment purposes only and not
with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, any public sale or distribution thereof.


 





(ii)             
 The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D
and has not experienced a disqualifying event as enumerated pursuant to Rule 506(d) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.


 


(iii)           
The Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and will be sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from
the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and
accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth herein in order
to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire such Securities.


 






    4


    


    

 


(iv)            
The Purchaser did not decide to enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within
the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act.


 


(v)              
The Purchaser has been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials
relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by the Purchaser. The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity
to ask questions of the executive officers and directors of the Company. The Purchaser understands that its investment in the Securities
involves a high degree of risk and has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed
investment decision with respect to the acquisition of the Securities.


 


(vi)            
The Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed
on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities by the
Purchaser nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.


 


(vii)         
The Purchaser understands that (a) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred, unless (1) subsequently registered thereunder or
(2) sold in reliance on an exemption therefrom, and (b) except as specifically set forth in the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement,
neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities
laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. In this regard, the Purchaser understands that the SEC has
taken the position that promoters or affiliates of a blank check company and their transferees, both before and after an initial business
combination, are deemed to be “underwriters” under the Securities Act when reselling the securities of a blank check company.
Based on that position, Rule 144 adopted pursuant to the Securities Act would not be available for resale transactions of the Securities
despite technical compliance with the requirements of Rule 144 adopted pursuant to the Securities Act, and the Securities can be resold
only through a registered offering or in reliance upon another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.


 





(viii)       
 The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, knowledge of the high degree of risk associated
with investments in the securities of companies in the development stage such as the Company, is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of an investment in the Securities and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities in the amount contemplated
hereunder for an indefinite period of time. The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current financial needs and contingencies
and will have no current or anticipated future needs for liquidity which would be jeopardized by the investment in the Securities. The
Purchaser can afford a complete loss of its investments in the Securities.


 






    5


    


    

 


(ix)            
The Purchaser understands that the Private Placement Warrants shall bear the legend substantially in the form set forth in the
Warrant Agreement.
