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:


 


AGREEMENT


 


1. Sale and Purchase.


 


(a) Securities.


 


(i) On the date hereof, (A) the Company shall
issue to the Purchaser the number of Founder Shares set forth on Schedule A hereto, in consideration for the Purchaser’s
payment of the portion of the Initial Purchase Price applicable to such Founder Shares, as set forth on Schedule A hereto,
by wire transfer of immediately available funds or other means approved by the Company, and (B) the Sponsor shall forfeit to the
Company for cancellation, for no consideration, and have no further right, title or interest in, an equal number of Founder Shares. If
the IPO Closing has not occurred by August 31, 2021, then the Company will promptly redeem the Purchaser’s Founder Shares issued
pursuant to this Section 1(a)(ii) for a cash payment equal to the Initial Purchase Price paid by the Purchaser in respect of such Founder
Shares, and this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.


 


(ii) 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. 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.


 


(b)  Delivery of Securities.


 


(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 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.”


 


(c) Legend Removal. Following the expiration
of the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 5(a), if the Securities are eligible to be sold without restriction
under, and without the Company being in compliance with the current public information requirements of, 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 at the Purchaser’s written request, the Company will use best efforts to cause the Company’s
transfer agent to remove the legend set forth in Section 1(b)(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.


 






    2


     


    

 


(d)  Registration Rights. On the Effective
Date, the Company shall enter into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Sponsor,
the Subscribing Parties 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 Securities that are no less
favorable to the Purchaser than the registration rights of the Sponsor set forth therein.


  


2.  Potential Forfeiture.


 


(a)   In the event that the Purchaser submits
an indication of interest of less than 9.9% of the Public Units to be sold in the IPO or fails to pay for the Public Units allocated to
Purchaser, the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it (or, if applicable, it and any transferees of Securities) shall forfeit back
to the Sponsor any and all rights to the Founder Shares. However, should the Purchaser be allocated less than 9.9% of the Public Units
to be sold in the IPO, the allocation of Founder Shares shall not be reduced. Furthermore, the Purchaser will not be required to purchase
more than 1,732,500 Public Units (9.9% of 17,500,000 Public Units) without first having the opportunity to purchase additional Founder
Shares in an amount proportional to any increase in the Purchaser’s order at the same price per Founder Share as detailed on Schedule
A attached hereto.


 


(b) The parties hereto hereby agree that the number
of Founder Shares allocated to Purchaser shall not be subject to forfeitures, surrenders, transfers, disposals, exchanges or earn-outs
for any reason, including as part of negotiating a Business Combination.


   


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.

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 Securities involves a high degree of risk which could cause the Purchaser to lose all or part of
its investment.


 


(j)  Qualification.  The Purchaser
is (i) an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, or (ii) a “qualified
institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act).


 


(k)  No General Solicitation.  Neither
the Purchaser, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, or agents, 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.


 


(l) [Reserved].


 


(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

hereby.

Purchaser agrees that it shall not Transfer (as defined below) any Founder Shares until the earlier of (A) one year after the closing
of the Business Combination (the “Business Combination Closing”) or (B) the date following the Business Combination
Closing on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange 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”). 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 5(a). Any extension
of the Lock-up Period beyond what is detailed herein shall not apply to the Purchaser’s Founder Shares. 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,
for estate planning purposes; (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 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 of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell,
hypothecation, 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 5(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.

the Company nor the Sponsor will, without the prior 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 Subscribing 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.

(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

(m) Equal Treatment. As of the date hereof,
the Company has entered into other subscription agreements substantially similar to this Agreement with other subscribers (each an “Other
Subscriber”). Except as previously disclosed to the Purchaser, the Company has not entered into any subscription agreement, side
letter or other agreement with any Other Subscriber relating to such Other Subscriber’s direct or indirect investment in the Company

not been amended in any material respect following the date of this Agreement, except to the extent that this Subscription Agreement is
also amended.


 


(n) 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.


 


(o) 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

Depository Trust Company’s fees associated with the issuance of the Securities and the securities issuable upon conversion or exercise
of the Securities.


 


(p) 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.


 


(q) 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.


 


(r) 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 seek specific performance of the terms hereof,
in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.


 


(s) 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 5(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.
