THIS PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS PURCHASE
AGREEMENT, effective as of [●], 2020 (as it may from time to time be amended, this “Agreement”), is entered
into by and between Aequi Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Aequi 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 (each, a “Share”), and one-third of one
redeemable warrant as set forth in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”), File Number 333-249337 (the “Registration Statement”), under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);


 


Each whole warrant entitles the holder
to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Share; and


 


The Purchaser has agreed to purchase an
aggregate of 5,333,333 redeemable warrants (or up to 5,933,333 redeemable warrants if the over-allotment option in connection with
the Public Offering is exercised in full) (the “Private Placement Warrants”), each whole Private Placement Warrant
entitling the holder to purchase one Share 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:

the Initial Closing Date in accordance with the Company’s wiring instructions; provided, however, that the Purchase Price
shall be reimbursed to the Purchaser if the Initial Closing Date does not occur on the day following such wire payment. On the
Initial Closing Date, following the payment by the Purchaser of the Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds

Date”), the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, an aggregate
of up to 600,000 Private Placement Warrants, in the same proportion as the amount of the over-allotment option that is then so
exercised, at a price of $1.50 per warrant for an aggregate purchase price of up to $900,000 (if the over-allotment option in connection
with the Public Offering is exercised in full) (the “Over-allotment Purchase Price”), which shall be paid by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company at least one day prior to such Over-allotment Closing Date in accordance
with the Company’s wiring instructions; provided, however, that the Over-allotment Purchase Price shall be reimbursed to
the Purchaser if such Over-allotment Closing Date does not occur on the day following such wire payment. On the Over-allotment
Closing Date, following the payment by the Purchaser of the Over-allotment Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the Company, the Company shall, at its option, deliver a certificate evidencing the Private Placement Warrants purchased
on such date duly registered in the Purchaser’s name to the Purchaser, or effect such delivery in book-entry form.

Section 3. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser.
As a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement and issue and sell the Private Placement Warrants to the Purchaser,
the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company (which representations and warranties shall survive each Closing Date)
that:


 


A. Organization and Requisite Authority.
The Purchaser possesses all requisite power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.


 


B. Authorization; No Breach.


 


(i) This Agreement constitutes a valid
and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights
and to general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or law).


 


(ii) The execution and delivery by the
Purchaser of this Agreement and the fulfillment of and compliance with the terms hereof by the Purchaser does not and shall not
as of each Closing Date conflict with or result in a breach by the Purchaser of the terms, conditions or provisions of any agreement,
instrument, order, judgment or decree to which the Purchaser is subject.


 


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 the Purchaser’s 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 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.


 


(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 it 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 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 a 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 such Rule, 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.

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 investment in the Securities.


 


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