FORM OF SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT 


AMONG THE REGISTRANT AND THE SPONSOR


 


Neo Technology Acquisition Corporation 800 3rd Avenue, Suite 2800,


New York, NY 10022


 


Ladies and Gentlemen:


 


Neo Technology Acquisition Corporation
(the “Company”), a blank check company formed for the purpose of acquiring one or more businesses or entities (a “Business
Combination”), intends to register its securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”),
in connection with its initial public offering (“IPO”), pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (“Registration
Statement”).


 


The undersigned hereby commits
that it will purchase 294,400 units (or up to 318,400 units if the over-allotment option is exercised in full by Maxim Group LLC) of the
Company (“Private Units”), each Private Unit consisting of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value
$0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of Common Stock (each
a “Right”), at $10.00 per Private Unit, for a purchase price of $2,944,000 (or up to $3,184,000 if the over-allotment
option is exercised in full by Maxim Group LLC) (the “Private Unit Purchase Price”).


 


At least twenty-four (24) hours
prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement, the undersigned will cause the Private Unit Purchase Price to be delivered
to the Company by wire transfer as set forth in the instructions attached as Exhibit A to hold in a non-interest bearing account
until the Company consummates the IPO.


 


The consummation of the purchase
and issuance of the Private Units shall occur simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO. Simultaneously with the consummation of
the IPO, the Company shall deposit the Private Unit Purchase Price, without interest or deduction, into the trust fund (“Trust
Fund”) established by the Company for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders as described in the Registration
Statement. If the Company does not complete the IPO within ten (10) days from the date of this letter, the Private Unit Purchase Price
(without interest or deduction) will be returned to the undersigned.


 


The Private Units will be identical
to the units to be sold by the Company in the IPO. Additionally, the undersigned agrees:


 


	 	●	to vote the shares of Common Stock included in the Private Units in favor of any proposed Business Combination;


 


	 	●	not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Company’s Common Stock sold in the IPO if the Company does not complete an initial Business Combination within 12 months from the closing of the IPO (or up to 21 months, as applicable), unless the Company provides the holders of Common Stock sold in the IPO with the opportunity to redeem their Common Stock upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount of the Trust Fund, including interest earned on Trust Fund and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Common Stock sold in the IPO;


 






     


     


    

 


	 	●	not to convert any Common Stock included in the Private Units into the right to receive cash from the Trust Fund in connection with a shareholder vote to approve either a Business Combination or an amendment to the provisions of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and not to tender the Private Units in connection with a tender offer conducted prior to the closing of a Business Combination;


 


	 	●	the undersigned will not participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to the Private Units (but will participate in liquidation distributions with respect to any units or Common Stock purchased by the undersigned in the IPO or in the open market) if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination;


 


	 	●	the Private Units will include any additional terms or restrictions as is customary in other similarly structured blank check company offerings or as may be reasonably required by the underwriters in the IPO in order to consummate the IPO, each of which will be set forth in the Registration Statement.


 


Further, the undersigned agrees
that its Private Units, and any underlying securities are not transferable or salable until the completion of the Company’s initial
Business Combination, except in each case (a) to the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliates or family members of any of
the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliate of the undersigned, any members of the undersigned, or any of their affiliates,
officers, directors, direct and indirect equity holders, (b) 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 of such
person, or to a charitable organization; (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of
the individual; (d) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (e) 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 securities were originally
purchased; (f) in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination;
or (g) by virtue of the laws of Delaware or the undersigned’s limited liability company agreement upon dissolution of the undersigned,
provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) through (e), or (g) these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement
agreeing to be bound by these transfer restrictions.


 


The undersigned acknowledges
and agrees that the purchaser of the Private Units will execute agreements in form and substance typical for transactions of this nature
necessary to effectuate the foregoing agreements and obligations prior to the consummation of the IPO as are reasonably acceptable to
the undersigned, including but not limited to an insider letter.
