	 	Re:	Initial Public Offering



 


Ladies and Gentlemen:


 


This letter (“Letter Agreement”)
is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”)
entered into by and between Ignyte Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and EarlyBirdCapital,
Inc. as representative (the “Representative”) of the several underwriters named in Schedule I thereto
(the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “IPO”)
of the Company’s units (the “Units”), each Unit comprised of one share of the Company’s common
stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and one-half of one warrant (“Warrant”),
each whole Warrant exercisable for one share of Common Stock. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 12
hereof.


 


In order to induce the Company and the Underwriters
to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the IPO, and in recognition of the benefit that such IPO will confer
upon the undersigned, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the undersigned hereby agrees, severally but not jointly, with the Company as follows:


 


1. If the Company solicits approval of its stockholders
of a Business Combination, the undersigned will vote all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him, her, or it, whether
acquired before, in, or after the IPO, in favor of such Business Combination.


 


2. (a) In the event that the Company fails to
consummate a Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), the undersigned will,
as promptly as possible, take all necessary actions to cause the Company to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of
winding up, (ii) not more than ten (10) business days thereafter, redeem the IPO shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash,
equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned funds held in the Trust Account (less
up to $50,000 to pay liquidation expenses and net of interest released to the Company to pay taxes as permitted pursuant to the
Trust Agreement), divided by the number of then outstanding IPO Shares, which redemption will extinguish public stockholders’
rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) following such redemption,
subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and
liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims
of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.


 


(b) The undersigned hereby waives any and all
right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distribution of the Trust Account (“Claim”)
with respect to the Founders’ Shares owned by the undersigned and hereby waives any Claim the undersigned may have in the
future as a result of, or arising out of, any contracts or agreements with the Company and will not seek recourse against the Trust
Account for any reason whatsoever. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that there will be no distribution from the Trust Account
with respect to any Warrants, all rights of which will terminate on the Company’s liquidation.


 


3. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that
prior to entering into a Business Combination with a target business that is affiliated with any Insiders of the Company or their
affiliates, such transaction must be approved by a majority of the Company’s disinterested independent directors and the
Company must obtain an opinion from an



    	 



    	



    

independent investment banking firm, or another independent entity
that commonly renders valuation opinions, that such Business Combination is fair to the Company’s unaffiliated stockholders
from a financial point of view.


 


4. Neither the undersigned nor any affiliate
of the undersigned will be entitled to receive and will not accept any compensation, finder fee or other cash payment prior to,
or for services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of the Business Combination; provided that the Company shall
be allowed to make the payments set forth in the Registration Statement under the caption “Prospectus Summary – The
Offering – Limited payments to insiders.”


 


5. (a) The undersigned will place into escrow
all Founders’ Shares owned by the undersigned pursuant to the terms of a Stock Escrow Agreement which the Company will enter
into with the undersigned and an escrow agent.


 


(b) The undersigned agrees that until after
the Company consummates a Business Combination, all Private Warrants owned by the undersigned will be subject to the transfer restrictions
described in the Subscription Agreement relating to the undersigned’s Private Warrants.


 


6. (a) In order to minimize potential conflicts
of interest that may arise from multiple corporate affiliations, the undersigned hereby agrees that until the earliest of the Company’s
initial Business Combination or liquidation, the undersigned shall present to the Company for its consideration, prior to presentation
to any other entity, any suitable target business, subject to any fiduciary or contractual obligations the undersigned might have.


 


(b) The undersigned hereby agrees and acknowledges
that (i) each of the Underwriters and the Company may be irreparably injured in the event of a breach of any of the obligations
contained in this Letter Agreement, (ii) monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for such breach and (iii) the non-breaching
party shall be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy that such party may have in law or in equity, in
the event of such breach.
