Agreement


 


1.  
Sale and Purchase.


 


(a)   
Forward Purchase Units. 


 




    1 


     


    

(i)   
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall
purchase from the Company, 2,500,000 Forward Purchase Shares for a purchase price of $10.00 per Forward Purchase Share (the “Forward
Purchase Price”), or $25,000,000 in the aggregate.


 


(ii)  
As soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event less than twenty (20) Business Days after the Company has identified a target
for the Business Combination and that target has indicated a willingness to enter into definitive negotiations for the Business Combination,
the Company shall provide the Purchaser with notice (the “Initial Company Notice”). Along with delivery of the Initial
Company Notice, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with all pertinent information related to the Business Combination, including:
(1) the identity of the counterparty or parties to the Business Combination (the “Target”); (2) audited financial
documents (at a minimum, income statements, balance sheets, statements of cash flow, and general ledgers) of the Target for each fiscal
for each of the previous three (3) fiscal years (if such audited financial documents are commercially reasonably obtainable by the Company;
if audited financial documents are not commercially reasonably obtainable, then unaudited financial documents); (3) the complete terms
of the Business Combination (including identification of other Forward Purchase Agreements and the amounts thereof, any debt being utilized
by the Company in furtherance of the Business Combination, and capitalization tables for the Company immediately prior to and following
the Business Combination); (4) the proposed timeline for the Business Combination; and (5) such other information as the Purchaser (or
any applicable Transferee pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof) may reasonably request. The Company shall keep the Purchaser informed of the
progress of the negotiations with the target of the Business Combination, and shall update the information provided to the Purchaser
as reasonably necessary to keep the Purchaser informed of the status of the target and the Business Combination.


 


(B)  
The Company shall inform the Purchaser of the entry into definitive agreements with the Target for the Business Combination. Prior
to the later of twenty (20) Business Days after this notification to the Purchaser or twenty (20) business days before the Business Combination
Closing, the Purchaser shall provide the Company with notice of the decision of its investment committee as to the approval or non-approval
of the purchase of Forward Purchase Shares. If approved, this notice shall constitute the binding obligation of the Purchaser to purchase
the Forward Purchase Shares, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The determination of the Purchaser’s investment
committee as to whether the Forward Purchase Shares offered to the Purchaser are to be purchased by the Purchaser shall be made in the
committee’s reasonable business judgement.


 


(iii)  
At least ten (10) Business Days before the Business Combination Closing, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with an updated
notice (the “Final Company Notice”) including:


 


(A)  
the anticipated date of the Business Combination Closing; and


 


(B)  
instructions for wiring the Forward Purchase Price.


 


(iv)  
The closing of the sale of Forward Purchase Shares (the “Forward Closing”) shall be held on the same date and

least three (3) Business Days prior to the Forward Closing Date, the Purchaser shall deliver the Forward Purchase Price for the Forward
Purchase Shares by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company in such notice
(which shall be an escrow account maintained by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company LLC, acting as escrow agent) to be held in
escrow until the Forward Closing. Immediately prior to the Forward Closing on the Forward Closing Date, (i) 


 




    2

Price shall be released from escrow automatically and without further action by the Company or the Purchaser, and (ii) upon such release,
the Company shall issue the Forward Purchase Shares to the Purchaser in book-entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions
whatsoever (other than those arising under state or federal securities laws), registered in the name of the Purchaser (or its nominee
in accordance with its delivery instructions), or to a custodian designated by the Purchaser, as applicable. In the event the Business
Combination Closing does not occur within five (5) Business Days of the date scheduled for closing, the Forward Closing shall not occur
and the Company shall promptly (but not later than one (1) Business Day thereafter) return the Forward Purchase Price to the Purchaser.
For purposes of this Agreement, “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.

delivered by the Purchaser, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser

and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating
to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, or (iii) to the extent the indemnification
provisions contained in the Registration Rights (as defined below) may be limited by applicable federal or state securities laws.

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.


 


(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 


 




    3 


     


    

Agreement will not
result in any violation or default (i) of any provisions of its organizational documents, (ii) of 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) of 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 or its 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 Forward Purchase
Shares 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 to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to any third Person, with respect
to any of the Forward Purchase Shares. 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

affairs and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Forward Purchase Shares, 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 Forward Purchase Shares to the Purchaser
has not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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 Forward Purchase Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and
that, pursuant to these laws, the Purchaser must hold the Forward Purchase Shares 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 Forward Purchase Shares for resale, except for the Registration
Rights. 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 Forward Purchase Shares,
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 will file the Registration Statement for its proposed IPO.
The Purchaser understands that the offering of the Forward Purchase Shares is not, and is 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 the Forward Purchase Shares.


 


(h)   
No Public Market; IPO and Related Transactions. The Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Forward
Purchase Shares, and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Forward Purchase Shares. The
Purchaser further understands that the terms of the proposed IPO and each of the transactions related thereto described herein, including
but not limited to the 


 




    4 


     


    

number and price of
securities sold as well as their structure and terms, are subject to adjustment and change in the discretion of the Company and its affiliates.


 


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

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


 


(k)

Survival of Representations and Warranties. All of the representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the

Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any documents, instruments and writings that are delivered pursuant hereto
or referenced herein, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of its subject matter and supersedes
all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, to the extent they relate in
any way to the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby.


 


(e)   
Successors. All of the terms, agreements, covenants, representations, warranties, and conditions of this Agreement are
binding upon, and inure to the benefit of and are enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors. Nothing in this
Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and
assigns any rights, 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 (including via e-signature) 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 dispute 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 (i) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the state courts of
New York and to the jurisdiction of 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 


 




    11 


     


    

upon this Agreement,
(ii) agree not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement except in state courts of
New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and (iii) hereby waive, and agree not to assert,
by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to
the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action
or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement
or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court.


 


(k)   
Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereto hereby waive any right to a jury trial in connection with any litigation pursuant
to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.


 


(l)   
Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision except with the prior
written consent of the Company and the Purchaser.


 


(m)  
Severability. The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision
will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided, that if any provision of this Agreement,
as applied to any party hereto or to any circumstance, is adjudged by a governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator not to be enforceable
in accordance with its terms, the parties hereto agree that the governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator making such 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 enforced.


 


(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 agents, representatives, financial advisors, legal counsel and accountants. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer
agent; stamp taxes and all of The Depository Trust Company’s fees associated with the issuance of the Forward Purchase Shares.


 


(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.


 




    12 


     


    

(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. The Purchaser agrees that irreparable damage may occur in the event any provision of this Agreement
was not performed by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Company shall be entitled to specific performance
of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.
