an initial public offering of the Company’s units (the “Public Offering”), each unit consisting of one
share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (each, a “Share”), and one half
of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Share.
The Purchaser has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 7,500,000 warrants (or up to 8,250,000 warrants if the over-allotment option
in connection with the Public Offering is exercised in full) (the “Private Placement Warrants”), each Private
Placement Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Share.

promises contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby, intending legally to be bound, agree as follows:

as the amount of the over-allotment option that is exercised, at a price of $1.00 per warrant for an aggregate purchase price of
up to $750,000 (if the over-allotment option in connection with the Public Offering is exercised in full) (the “Over-allotment
Purchase Price”), which shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company in accordance with
the Company’s wiring instructions. On the Over-allotment Closing Date, upon the payment by the Purchaser of the Over-allotment
Purchase Price payable by it by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company, the Company shall either, at its option,
deliver a certificate evidencing the Private Placement Warrants purchased by the Purchaser on such date duly registered in the

 C. Investment Representations.


  


(i) The Purchaser is acquiring the Private
Placement Warrants and, upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, the Shares issuable upon such exercise (collectively,
the “Securities”), for the Purchaser’s own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view towards,
or for resale in connection with, any public sale or distribution thereof.


  


(ii) The Purchaser is an “accredited
investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”).


 


(iii) The Purchaser understands that the
Securities are being offered and will be sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the
United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s
compliance with, the representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of
such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire such Securities.


  


(iv) The Purchaser did not enter into this
Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the Securities
Act.


  


(v) The Purchaser has been furnished with
all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of
the Securities which have been requested by the Purchaser. The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of
the executive officers and directors of the Company. The Purchaser understands that its investment in the Securities involves a
high degree of risk and it has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed
investment decision with respect to the acquisition of the Securities.


  



    3


     


    

 


(vi) The Purchaser understands that no United
States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement
of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities by the Purchaser nor have such authorities
passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.


  


(vii) The Purchaser understands that: (a)
the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be
offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (1) subsequently registered thereunder or (2) sold in reliance on an exemption
therefrom; and (b) except as specifically set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, neither the Company nor any other person
is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the
terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. While such Purchaser understands that Rule 144 under the Securities Act is not
available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies)
or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company, such Purchaser understands that Rule 144 includes an exception
to this prohibition if the following conditions are met: (i) the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has
ceased to be a shell company; (ii) the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); (iii) the issuer of the securities
has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter
period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and (iv) at least one year
has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity
that is not a shell company.


  


(viii) The Purchaser has such knowledge
and experience in financial and business matters, knowledge of the high degree of risk associated with investments in the securities
of companies in the development stage such as the Company, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the
Securities and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities in the amount contemplated hereunder for an
indefinite period of time. The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current financial needs and contingencies and
will have no current or anticipated future needs for liquidity which would be jeopardized by the investment in the Securities.
The Purchaser can afford a complete loss of its investment in the Securities.
