as of [●], 2021, is entered into by and between Iconic Sports Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”),
and Iconic Sports Management LLC, a Cayman Islands 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

File Number 333-260096 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).


 


WHEREAS, the Purchaser has agreed to purchase
an aggregate of 12,750,000 warrants (and up to 1,687,500 additional redeemable 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.

promises contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,

to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, up to 1,687,500 Private Placement Warrants (or, to the extent the
option to purchase additional units is not exercised in full, a lesser number of Private Placement Warrants in proportion to the portion
of the option that is exercised) at a price of $1.00 per warrant for an aggregate purchase price of up to $1,687,500 (the “Option
Purchase Price”). The Purchaser shall pay the Option Purchase Price in accordance with the Company’s wire instruction
by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Trust Account, at least one (1) business day prior to the Option Closing
Date. On the Option Closing Date, subject to the receipt of funds pursuant to the immediately prior sentence, the Company shall, at its
option, deliver a certificate evidencing the Private Placement Warrants purchased on such date duly registered in the Purchaser’s

or any agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which the Purchaser is subject, except for any filings required after the
date hereof under federal or state securities laws.


 


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 the Purchaser 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 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 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 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.


 


(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
