1.3. Initial
Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of 276,500 Units shall take place simultaneously with the closing of the IPO (the “Initial

up to an aggregate of 18,750 Units in consideration of the payments of the Over-allotment Purchase Price (as defined below) and in the
same proportion as the amount of the over-allotment option in connection with the IPO is exercised. On the Over-allotment Closing Date,
the Company shall, at its option, deliver to the Subscriber the certificates representing the Securities purchased or effect such delivery
in book-entry form.


 




     


     


    

 


1.5. Purchase
Price. The Subscriber shall pay up to $187,500 (if the over-allotment option in connection with the IPO is exercised in full) (the
“Over-allotment Purchase Price”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds or by such other method as may be reasonably
acceptable to the Company, to the Trust Account on the date of the consummation of the closing of the over-allotment option, and concurrently
with the consummation thereof, or on such earlier time and date as may be mutually agreed by the Company and the Subscriber (each such

a “Closing Date”).


 


1.6. Over-Allotment
Closing. The Over-allotment Closing Date shall take place at the offices of Loeb & Loeb LLP, 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York

1.7. Termination.
This Agreement and each of the obligations of the undersigned shall be null and void and without effect if a Closing does not occur prior
to December 31, 2021.


 


2. Representations and Warranties of Subscriber


 


Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company
that:


 


2.1. No Government
Recommendation or Approval. Subscriber understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement
of the Company or the Offering of the Securities.


 


2.2. Accredited
Investor. Subscriber represents that it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation
D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and acknowledges that the sale contemplated hereby
is being made in reliance, among other things, on a private placement exemption to “accredited investors” under the Securities
Act and similar exemptions under state law.


  


2.3. Intent.
Subscriber is purchasing the Securities solely for investment purposes, for Subscriber’s own account (and/or for the account or
benefit of its members or affiliates, as permitted, pursuant to the terms of an agreement (the “Insider Letter”) to be entered
into with respect to the Securities between, among others, Subscriber and the Company, as described in the Registration Statement), and
not with a view to the distribution thereof and Subscriber has no present arrangement to sell the Securities to or through any person
or entity except as may be permitted under the Insider Letter. Subscriber shall not engage in hedging transactions with regard to the
Securities unless in compliance with the Securities Act.


 


2.4. Restrictions
on Transfer. Subscriber acknowledges and understands the Units are being offered in a transaction not involving a public offering
in the United States within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and, if
in the future Subscriber decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Securities, such Securities may be offered, resold,
pledged or otherwise transferred only (A) pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, (B) pursuant
to an exemption from registration under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, if available, or (C) pursuant to any other
available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each case in accordance with any applicable securities
laws of any state or any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscriber acknowledges and understands the Securities are
subject to transfer restrictions as described in Section 8 hereof. Subscriber agrees that if any transfer of its Securities
or any interest therein is proposed to be made, as a condition precedent to any such transfer, Subscriber may be required to deliver to
the Company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company with respect to such transfer. Absent registration or another available
exemption from registration, Subscriber agrees it will not resell the Securities (unless otherwise permitted pursuant to the Insider Letter,
as described in the Registration Statement). Subscriber further acknowledges that because the Company is a shell company, Rule 144 may
not be available to Subscriber for the resale of the Securities until the one year anniversary following consummation of the initial Business
Combination of the Company, despite technical compliance with the requirements of Rule 144 and the release or waiver of any contractual
transfer restrictions.

2.5. Sophisticated
Investor.


 


(i) Subscriber
is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Securities.


 


(ii) Subscriber
is aware that an investment in the Securities is highly speculative and subject to substantial risks because, among other things, the
Securities are subject to transfer restrictions and have not been registered under the Securities Act and therefore cannot be sold unless
subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Subscriber is able to bear the economic
risk of its investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time.


 


2.6. Independent
Investigation. Subscriber, in making the decision to purchase the Units, has relied upon an independent investigation of the Company
and has not relied upon any information or representations made by any third parties or upon any oral or written representations or assurances
from the Company, its officers, directors or employees or any other representatives or agents of the Company, other than as set forth
in this Agreement. Subscriber is familiar with the business, operations and financial condition of the Company and has had an opportunity
to ask questions of, and receive answers from the Company’s officers and directors concerning the Company and the terms and conditions
of the offering of the Units and has had full access to such other information concerning the Company as Subscriber has requested. Subscriber
confirms that all documents that it has requested have been made available and that Subscriber has been supplied with all of the additional
information concerning this investment which Subscriber has requested.


 


2.7. Organization
and Authority. Subscriber is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and it
possesses all requisite power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.


 


2.8. Authority.
This Agreement has been validly authorized, executed and delivered by Subscriber and is a valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance
with its terms, subject to the general principles of equity and to bankruptcy or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights generally.


 


2.9. No Conflicts.
The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by Subscriber of the transactions contemplated hereby do
not violate, conflict with or constitute a default under (i) Subscriber’s charter documents, (ii) any agreement or instrument
to which Subscriber is a party or (iii) any law, statute, rule or regulation to which Subscriber is subject, or any agreement, order,
judgment or decree to which Subscriber is subject.


 


2.10. No Legal
Advice from Company. Subscriber acknowledges it has had the opportunity to review this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and the other agreements entered into between the parties hereto with Subscriber’s own legal counsel and investment
and tax advisors. Except for any statements or representations of the Company made in this Agreement and the other agreements entered
into between the parties hereto, Subscriber is relying solely on such counsel and advisors and not on any statements or representations
of the Company or any of its representatives or agents for legal, tax or investment advice with respect to this investment, the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or the securities laws of any jurisdiction.


 


2.11. Reliance
on Representations and Warranties. Subscriber understands the Units are being offered and sold to Subscriber in reliance on exemptions
from the registration requirements under the Securities Act, and analogous provisions in the laws and regulations of various states, and
that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings
of Subscriber set forth in this Agreement in order to determine the applicability of such provisions.


 




    3


     


    

 


2.12. No General
Solicitation. Subscriber is not subscribing for the Units as a result of or subsequent to any general solicitation or general advertising,
including but not limited to any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar
media or broadcast over television or radio, or presented at any seminar or meeting or in a registration statement with respect to the
IPO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).


 


2.13. Legend.
Subscriber acknowledges and agrees the certificates evidencing each of the Securities shall bear a restrictive legend (the “Legend”),
in form and substance substantially as set forth in Section 4 hereof.

    4


     


    

 


3.5. No Conflicts.
The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby
do not (i) result in a violation of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws, (ii) conflict with, or constitute
a default under any agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or (iii) conflict with any law statute, rule or regulation
to which the Company is subject or any agreement, order, judgment or decree to which the Company is subject. Other than any SEC or state
securities filings which may be required to be made by the Company subsequent to any Closing Date, and any registration statement which

the Company consummates the Business Combination, (ii) in connection with any tender offer conducted by the Company prior to a Business
Combination, (iii) upon the Company’s redemption of shares of Common Stock sold in the Company’s IPO upon the Company’s
failure to timely complete the Business Combination or (iv) in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s
amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100%

the Business Combination; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, this sentence shall not apply to any founder shares (as described in the
