NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, representations, warranties and the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree
as follows:


 


1. Sale
and Purchase.


 


(a) Securities.


 


(i)  Subject
to the terms and conditions hereof, the Purchaser hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company, and the
Company agrees to issue and sell to the Purchaser, the number of Private Placement Warrants equal to [7.5%]2 of the Private
Placement Warrants to be sold by the Company in connection with the IPO, at a purchase price of $1.50 per warrant (the “Initial
Purchase Price”).


 


(ii) On
the Business Combination Closing (as defined below), the Purchaser shall purchase from the Sponsor, and the Sponsor shall transfer and
sell to the Purchaser, the greater of: (A) 25% of the Initial Subscriber Founder Shares (the “Minimum Share Amount”)
and (B) the Initial Subscriber Founder Shares, less such number of shares subject to any Ownership Reduction (as defined below) and any
Change in Investment Reduction (as defined below). For purposes of this Agreement, the number of “Initial Subscriber Founder
Shares” shall be equal to [5.5%]3 of all of the Founder Shares issued and outstanding upon consummation of the
IPO, subject to adjustment as described herein. The purchase price for the Initial Subscriber Founder Shares shall be $0.006 per share,
and shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds or other means approved by the Sponsor. If the Business Combination
Closing has not occurred by the date that is 24 months from the IPO Closing or any stockholder-approved extension period, then no such
purchases shall occur pursuant to this Section 1(a)(ii).


 


(iii)  The
Purchaser acknowledges that the Subscribed Securities, and any securities of the Company that may be distributed to the Purchaser on
account of the Subscribed Securities (collectively, the “Securities”), will be subject to restrictions on transfer
as set forth in this Agreement.


 


(iv)  The
Company shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the anticipated date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (the “Effective
Date”) at least three (3) Business Days (as defined below) prior to the Effective Date, and the Purchaser shall remit
the balance of the Initial Purchase Price for the Private Placement Warrants to the Company’s transfer agent (to be held in escrow
pending the IPO Closing), by wire transfer of immediately available funds or other means approved by the Company, on the date that is
one (1) Business Day prior to the Effective Date, or such other date as the Company and the Purchaser may agree upon in writing; provided,
however, that if the actual number of Public Units offered and sold in the IPO is less than 15,000,000 or greater than 60,000,000,
then the Purchaser shall not be obligated to remit the Initial Purchase Price as set forth in Section 1(a)(i) and any of the Purchaser,
the Company or the Sponsor may in its sole discretion terminate this Agreement which shall be of no further force or effect. As used
herein, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day
on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law or regulation to close in the City of New York, New York. If
the IPO Closing has not occurred by the date that is seven (7) Business Days after the date on which the Purchaser remitted the
balance of its Initial Purchase Price to the Company’s transfer agent, then, unless the Purchaser otherwise agrees in writing,
the Company will promptly cause its transfer agent to return such amounts to the Purchaser. If the IPO Closing has not occurred by September
30, 2021, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

(v)  In
the event that the underwriters’ over-allotment option in connection with the IPO (the “Over-allotment Option”)
is exercised, the Purchaser agrees to purchase an additional number of Private Placement Warrants equal to [7.5%]4 of the
Private Placement Warrants to be sold by the Company in connection with the Over-allotment Option at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The
Company shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the anticipated date of each closing of the exercise of the Over-allotment Option, if
any (each, an “Over-allotment Closing”) at least three (3) Business Days prior to such Over-allotment Closing, and
the Purchaser shall pay the purchase price for the Private Placement Warrants to be purchased in connection with such Over-allotment
Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds or other means approved by the Company on that date that is one (1) Business
Day prior to such Over-allotment Closing (to be held in escrow pending such Over-allotment Closing), or such other date as the Company
and the Purchaser may agree upon in writing. If the Over-allotment Closing has not occurred by the date that is seven (7) Business
Days after the date on which the Purchaser remitted the purchase price for the Private Placement Warrants to be purchased in connection
with such Over-allotment Closing, then, unless the Purchaser otherwise agrees in writing, the Company will promptly cause its transfer
agent to return such amounts to the Purchaser.


 







(vi)  On
the date of the IPO Closing, the Company shall issue to the Purchaser the number of Private Placement Warrants that it has purchased
pursuant to Section 1(a)(i). On the date of each Over-allotment Closing, if any, the Company shall issue to Purchaser the number
of Private Placement Warrants that it has purchased pursuant to Section 1(a)(v). On each of the IPO Closing, an Over-allotment
Closing and the Business Combination Closing, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Company a schedule setting forth the number of Founder
Shares and Private Placement Warrants, as applicable, to be purchased by the Purchaser at such closing.


 


(vii)  The
Company or the Sponsor shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the anticipated date of the Business Combination Closing (as defined
below) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of the Business Combination Closing, and the Purchaser shall remit the balance
of the purchase price payable for the applicable number of Initial Subscriber Founder Shares as set forth in and pursuant to Section
1(a)(ii), by wire transfer of immediately available funds or other means approved by the Sponsor, on the date that is one (1) Business
Day prior to the date of the Business Combination Closing, or such other date as the Sponsor and the Purchaser may agree upon in writing;
provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, such number of Initial Subscriber Founder Shares shall in no event be less than the
Minimum Share Amount. If the Business Combination Closing has not occurred by the date that is seven (7) Business Days after the
date on which the Purchaser remitted the balance of its purchase price payable in respect of the Initial Subscriber Founder Shares, then,
unless the Purchaser otherwise agrees in writing, the Sponsor and/or the Company will promptly return, or cause to be returned, such
amounts to the Purchaser. If the Business Combination Closing has not occurred by the date that is 24 months from the IPO Closing or
any stockholder-approved extension period, then no such purchases shall occur.


 


(b)  Closing
Conditions. The Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Subscribed Securities and the Sponsor’s and the Company’s
obligation to sell the Subscribed Securities to the Purchaser is conditioned upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent
(any or all of which may be waived by the Company, the Sponsor and the Purchaser in its sole discretion with respect to the other parties’
conditions):


 


		(i)	On
                                            the IPO Closing or the Business Combination Closing, as applicable, no legal, administrative
                                            or regulatory action, suit or proceeding shall be pending which seeks to restrain or prohibit
                                            the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and



 


		(ii)	The
                                            representations and warranties of the Company, the Sponsor and the Purchaser, contained in
                                            this Agreement shall have been true and correct on the date of this Agreement and shall be
                                            true and correct on the IPO Closing or the Business Combination Closing, as applicable, as
                                            if made on the date of such closing (other than the representations and warranties set forth
                                            in Sections 4(b) and 4(h), which shall be true and correct as of the IPO Closing).

(c) Delivery
of Securities.


 


(i)  The
Company shall register the Purchaser as the owner of the Private Placement Warrants with the Company’s transfer agent by book entry
on or prior to the date of the IPO Closing (provided that prior to the Company’s appointment of a transfer agent it shall register
the Purchaser as the owner of such securities in the Company’s stock ledger upon issuance thereof).


 


(ii) Each
register and book entry for the Securities shall contain a notation, and each certificate (if any) evidencing the Securities shall be
stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend (in addition to any other required legends, as applicable), in substantially the following
form:


 


“THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES
LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN VIOLATION OF SUCH ACT AND LAWS.


 


THE
SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION, OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN SUBSCRIPTION
AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG THE HOLDER AND THE OTHER PARTIES THERETO. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO
THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”


 


(d) Legend
Removal. Following the expiration of the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 6(a), if the Securities are
eligible to be sold without restriction under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
or if they are registered for resale under the Securities Act pursuant to a shelf registration statement, then the Company will use its
best efforts to cause the Company’s transfer agent to remove the legend set forth in Section 1(c)(ii), subject to compliance
by the Purchaser with the reasonable and customary procedures for such removal required by the Company or its transfer agent. In connection
therewith, if required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company will promptly cause an opinion of counsel to be delivered to
and maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer
agent that authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Securities without any such legend.


 


(e) Registration
Rights. On the Effective Date, the Company shall enter into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”)
with the Sponsor and certain other parties thereto, in substantially the form provided to the Purchaser prior to the date hereof. The
Registration Rights Agreement shall provide the Purchaser with registration rights with respect to the Subscribed Securities that are
no less favorable to the Purchaser than the registration rights of the Sponsor set forth therein.


 


2. Potential
Forfeiture. 


 


(a)  If
the Purchaser does not purchase at least [9.9%]5 of the Public Shares sold by the Company in the IPO, then the Purchaser
shall automatically forfeit its right to purchase any of the Initial Subscriber Founder Shares and shall forfeit all right, title or
interest in, the Initial Subscriber Founder Shares.


 


(b)  If
either (A) the sum of (x) the Public Shares the Purchaser and its affiliates beneficially own or hold, directly or indirectly, and (y)
the number of shares of Class A Common Stock for which the Purchaser and its affiliates have executed a binding commitment to purchase
in connection with the closing of the Business Combination at a price equal to or greater than $10.00 per share (or, for the avoidance
of doubt, equivalent securities of the target of the Business Combination or the successor registrant of the Company, in each case at
price equivalent to at least $10.00 per share of Class A Common Stock) (such sum, the “Total Closing Investment Shares”)
does not equal or exceed the number of shares that is 4.9% of the Public Shares (the “Forfeiture Threshold”) as of
either (i) the date of the vote by the Company’s stockholders to approve the Business Combination or (ii) the Business Day immediately
prior to the closing of the Business Combination or (B) the Purchaser and/or its affiliates redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares
in connection with the Business Combination that results in the Total Closing Investment Shares being less than the Forfeiture Threshold,
then the number of Initial Subscriber Founder Shares that the Purchaser may purchase pursuant to Section 1(a)(ii) shall be reduced
pro rata by a fraction, the numerator of which shall equal the Forfeiture Threshold less the Total Closing Investment Shares after giving
effect to any redemptions of the Public Shares by the Purchaser and its affiliates and the denominator shall equal the Forfeiture Threshold
(the “Ownership Reduction”). By way of example and without limiting the foregoing, in the event the Total Closing
Investment Shares equals 2.45% of the Public Shares (after giving effect to any redemptions of the Purchaser’s and its affiliates’
Public Shares), the Purchaser shall forfeit 50% of its Initial Subscriber Founder Shares, in which case the Ownership Reduction shall
equal 50% of the Initial Subscriber Founder Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, no Ownership Reduction shall result in the Purchaser
having to forfeit or transfer any Private Placement Warrants.

(c)  The
Purchaser agrees that if, prior to a Business Combination, the Sponsor’s managing members deem it necessary in order to facilitate
a Business Combination by the Company for the Sponsor to forfeit, transfer, exchange or amend the terms of all or any portion of the
Founder Shares and/or the Private Placement Warrants or to enter into any other arrangements with respect to the Founder Shares and/or
the Private Placement Warrants (including, without limitation, a transfer of the Sponsor’s membership interests representing an
interest in any of the foregoing) to facilitate the consummation of such Business Combination (each, a “Change in Investment”),
such Change in Investment shall apply pro rata to Purchaser (the “Change in Investment Reduction”) and the Sponsor
based on the relative number of Founder Shares and/or Private Placement Warrants held by each. By way of example and without limiting
the foregoing, in the event 50% of the Sponsor’s Founder Shares and/or Private Placement Warrants are forfeited or transferred
by the Sponsor as part of such Business Combination, the Purchaser shall forfeit or transfer 50% of its Initial Subscriber Founder Shares
and/or Private Placement Warrants on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Sponsor, in which case the Change in Investment
Reduction shall equal 50% of the Initial Subscriber Founder Shares.


 


(d)  Solely
by way of example to illustrate the provisions of Section 2, in the event the Sponsor forfeited or transferred 50% of
its Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants to facilitate the consummation of a Business Combination, the Ownership Reduction is
50% and the Change in Investment Reduction is 50%, then the percentage of the Initial Subscriber Founder Shares to be purchased by the
Purchaser shall be reduced 100% to zero; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall still have the right to purchase the
Minimum Share Amount. In addition, the Purchaser shall forfeit or transfer 50% of its Private Placement Warrants.


 


3. Representations
and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company as follows, as of the date hereof:


 


(a) Organization
and Power. The Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
formation and has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted.


 


(b) Authorization. 
The Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Purchaser,
will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms,
except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and any other laws
of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability
of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.


 


(c) Governmental
Consents and Filings. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration
or filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority is required on the part of the Purchaser in connection with the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for filings pursuant to applicable securities laws, rules or
regulations.


 


(d) Compliance
with Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation by
the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in any violation or default (i) under any provisions
of its organizational documents, (ii) under any instrument, judgment, order, writ or decree to which it is a party or by which it
is bound, (iii) under any note, indenture or mortgage to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (iv) under any lease,
agreement, contract or purchase order to which it is a party or by which it is bound or (v) under any provision of federal or state
statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Purchaser, in each case (other than clause (i)), which would have a material adverse
effect on the Purchaser’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) Purchase
Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with the Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser’s representation
to the Company, which by the Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby confirms, that the Securities to be
acquired by the Purchaser will be acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not
with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of any state or federal securities laws, and that the
Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of
law. By executing this Agreement, the Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser does not presently have any contract,
undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person (other than the Company) to sell, transfer or grant participations to such
Person or to any third Person, with respect to any of the Securities. For purposes of this Agreement, “Person”
means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated
organization, any other entity or any government or any department or agency thereof.


 


(f) Disclosure
of Information. The Purchaser has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management, financial
affairs and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities, as well as the terms of the Company’s proposed IPO,
with the Company’s management.


 


(g) Restricted
Securities. The Purchaser understands that the offer and sale of the Securities to the Purchaser has not been and will not
be registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act
which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s
representations as expressed herein. The Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” under
applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Purchaser must hold the Securities
indefinitely unless they are registered with the SEC and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and
qualification requirements is available. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the
Securities except pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. The Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from
registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the
time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Securities, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside
of the Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy. The Purchaser
acknowledges that the Company has confidentially submitted the Registration Statement for its proposed IPO. The Purchaser
understands that the offering of Securities and transactions contemplated hereunder are not and are not intended to be part of the
IPO, and that the Purchaser will not be able to rely on the protection of Section 11 of the Securities Act with respect to its
purchase of Securities hereunder.


 


(h) No
Public Market. The Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Securities, and that the Company has not
made any assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Securities.


 


(i)  High
Degree of Risk. The Purchaser understands that the purchase of the Private Placement Warrants involves a high degree of risk
which could cause the Purchaser to lose all or part of its investment.


 


  (j)  Accredited
Investor. The Purchaser is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act.


 


(k) No
General Solicitation. Neither the Purchaser, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders or partners
has either directly or indirectly, including, through a broker or finder (i) to its knowledge, engaged in any general solicitation,
or (ii) published any advertisement in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities.


 


(m)       Adequacy
of Financing. The Purchaser will, when such funds are due hereunder, have sufficient funds to satisfy its obligations under
this Agreement.


 


(o) No
Other Representations and Warranties; Non-Reliance. Except for the specific representations and warranties contained in
this Section 3 and in any certificate or agreement delivered pursuant hereto, none of the Purchaser nor any
person acting on behalf of the Purchaser nor any of the Purchaser’s affiliates (the “Purchaser Parties”)
has made, makes or shall be deemed to make any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Purchaser and
this offering, and the Purchaser Parties disclaim any such representation or warranty. Except for the specific representations and
warranties expressly made by the Company in Section 4 of this Agreement and in any certificate or agreement
delivered pursuant hereto, the Purchaser Parties specifically disclaim that they are relying upon any other representations or
warranties that may have been made by the Company, any person on behalf of the Company or any of the Company’s affiliates
(collectively, the “Company Parties”) with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, or other laws of general application
relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability

the Private Placement Warrants will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations.

6.  Additional
Agreements and Acknowledgements of the Purchaser.


 


(a) Transfer
Restrictions. The Purchaser agrees that it shall not Transfer (as defined below) (i) any Founder Shares (or any shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Founder Shares) until the earlier of (A) one year after the closing of the Business Combination
(the “Business Combination Closing”) and (B) the date following the Business Combination Closing on which the
Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the
Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their Common Stock for cash, securities or other property (such period, the
“Lock-up Period”) or (ii) any Private Placement Warrants (or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Private Placement Warrants) until 30 days after the Business Combination Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if subsequent to
a Business Combination, the closing price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits,
share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day
period commencing at least one hundred and fifty (150) days after the Business Combination Closing, the Founder Shares shall be released
from the lockup referenced in this Section 6(a). Notwithstanding the first sentence hereinabove, Transfers of the Securities are
permitted (i) to any other person or entity that holds Common Stock prior to the consummation of the IPO; (ii) to the Company’s
officers, directors or employees; (iii) in the case of an entity, as a distribution to its partners, stockholders or members upon
liquidation; (iv) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate family, to a trust, the
beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family, or an affiliate or such person, or to a charitable organization;
(v) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (vi) in the case
of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (vii) by pledges to secure obligations incurred in connection
with purchases of the Company’s securities; (viii) by private sales or transfers made in connection with the consummation
of a Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the applicable Securities were originally purchased; (ix) in
the event of the Company’s liquidation, bankruptcy or dissolution prior to the completion of a Business Combination; (x) to
the Purchaser’s affiliates, to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the Purchaser, or to any investment
manager or investment advisor of the Purchaser or an affiliate of any such investment manager or investment advisor or to any investment
fund or other entity controlled or managed by such persons; (xi) to a nominee or custodian of a person or entity to whom a disposition
or transfer would be permissible under clauses (i) through (x) above; and (xii) pursuant to the provisions of Section 2
of this Agreement (each of the foregoing, a “Permitted Transferee”); provided, however, that in
the case of clauses (i) through (xi), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by the
terms of this Agreement, including the forfeiture provisions of Section 2 and these transfer restrictions. As used in this
Agreement, “Transfer” shall mean the (x) sale or assignment of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell,
hypothecate, pledge, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agreement to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establishment
or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease of a call equivalent position (within the meaning
of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and
regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder) with respect to, any of the Securities; (y) entry into any swap or other arrangement
that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any of the Securities, whether any such
transaction is to be settled by delivery of such Securities, in cash or otherwise, or (z) public announcement of any intention to
effect any transaction specified in clause (x) or (y); provided, further, that this Section 6(a) shall not
prohibit the Purchaser from effecting a Short Sale (as defined below) with securities that do not constitute “Securities”
under this Agreement.


 


(b) Trust
Account.


 


(i)  The
Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is aware that the Company will establish the Trust Account for the benefit of its public stockholders
upon the IPO Closing. The Purchaser hereby agrees that it has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held
in the Trust Account, or any other asset of the Company as a result of any liquidation of the Company, except for redemption and liquidation
rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in respect of any Public Shares held by it.


 


(ii) The
Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall have no right of set-off or any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”)
to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account, and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account that it
may have now or in the future, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in respect of any Public
Shares held by it. In the event the Purchaser has any Claim against the Company under this Agreement, the Purchaser shall pursue such
Claim solely against the Company and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the property or any monies in the Trust Account,
except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in respect of any Public Shares held by it.

SHO under the Exchange Act, and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges (other than pledges in the ordinary course of business
as part of prime brokerage arrangements), forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on
a total return basis).


 


(d)
Use of Purchaser’s Name. Neither the Company nor the Sponsor will, without the written consent of the Purchaser in each
instance, use in advertising, publicity or otherwise the name of the Purchaser or any of its affiliates, or any director, officer or
employee of the Purchaser, nor any trade name, trademark, trade device, service mark, symbol or any abbreviation, contraction or simulation
thereof owned by the Purchaser or its affiliates or any information relating to the business or operations of the Purchaser or its affiliates
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, any investment vehicles, funds or accounts managed thereby). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company may disclose (i) Purchaser’s name and information concerning the Purchaser (A) to the extent required by law,
regulation or regulatory request, including in the Registration Statement or (B) to the Company’s lawyers, independent accountants
and to other advisors and service providers who reasonably require Purchaser’s information in connection with the provision of
services to the Company, are advised of the confidential nature of such information and are obligated to keep such information confidential,
and (ii) Purchaser’s name and the terms of this Agreement to the other Subscription Parties. The Company and the Sponsor agree
to provide to the Purchaser for Purchaser’s review any disclosure in any registration statement, proxy statement or other document
in advance of the submission, filing or disclosure of such document in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
with respect to the Purchaser or any of its affiliates, and will not make any such submission, filing or disclosure without including
any revisions reasonably requested in writing by the Purchaser or to the extent the Purchaser has a good faith objection to such submission,
filing or disclosure.

 


(e)
Stock Exchange Listing. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect and maintain the listing of the Class A
Common Stock and Warrants on The Nasdaq Capital Market (or another national securities exchange) until the third anniversary of the Business
Combination Closing.

remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this
Agreement.


 


(f)
Assignments. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no party hereto may assign either this Agreement or
any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other party.


 


(g) Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which together will
constitute one and the same instrument.


 


(h) Headings.
The section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not affect in any way the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement.


 


(i)  Governing
Law. This Agreement, the entire relationship of the parties hereto, and any litigation between the parties (whether grounded
in contract, tort, statute, law or equity) shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and interpreted pursuant to the laws of
the State of New York, without giving effect to its choice of laws principles. 


 


(j) Jurisdiction.
The parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submit to the jurisdiction of the state courts of New York and the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising
out of or based upon this Agreement, (ii) agree not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based

determination will have the power to modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable,
and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision will then be enforceable and will be

(n) Expenses.
Each of the Company and the Purchaser will bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution
and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including all fees and expenses of

(o) Construction. 
The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent
or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of
proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Any reference
to any federal, state, local, or foreign law will be deemed also to refer to law as amended and all rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including”
will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed
to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context
otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,”
and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The
parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party
hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation,
warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has
not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or
covenant.


 


(p) Waiver.
No waiver by any party hereto of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or
not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or
affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent occurrence.


 


(q) Specific
Performance. Each party hereto agrees that irreparable damage may occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not
performed by the other party hereto in accordance with the terms hereof and that the such party shall be entitled to specific performance
of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.


 


(r) Confidentiality.
Except as may be required by law, regulation or applicable stock exchange listing requirements (but subject in any case to the
provisions of Section 6(d) hereof), unless and until the transactions contemplated hereby and the terms hereof are
publicly announced or otherwise publicly disclosed by the Company, the parties hereto shall keep confidential and shall not publicly
disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser shall be permitted to disclose
any information to its affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, advisors, director or indirect
owners, agents and representatives, in each case so long as such person or entity has been advised of the confidentiality
obligations hereunder; provided that the Purchaser shall be liable for any breach of such confidentiality obligations by any
such person or entity.
