between Aldel Financial Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), having its principal place of business

WHEREAS, the Company
desires to sell to the Subscriber on a private placement basis (the “Placement”) an aggregate of 500,000
units (or 515,000 units if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full) (the “Units”) of
the Company, each Unit comprised of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share
(“Common Stock”) and one-half of one warrant, each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one share of
Common Stock (“Warrant”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. The shares of Common Stock underlying
the Warrants are hereinafter referred to as the “Warrant Shares.” The shares of Common Stock underlying
the Units (excluding the Warrant Shares) are hereinafter referred to as the “Placement Shares.” The
Warrants underlying the Units are hereinafter referred to as the “Placement Warrants.” The Units,
Placement Shares, Placement Warrants and Warrant Shares, collectively, are hereinafter referred to as the

Company’s initial public offering of units (the “IPO”) and (ii) 30 days following the consummation
of the Company’s initial business combination (the “Business Combination”), as such term is defined
in the registration statement in connection with the IPO, as amended at the time it becomes effective (the
 “Registration Statement”), and expiring on the fifth anniversary of the consummation of the Business
Combination; and


 


WHEREAS, the Subscriber wishes
to purchase up to 515,000 Units, and the Company wishes to accept such subscription from the Subscriber.


 


NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Subscriber hereby agree as follows:


 


		1.	Agreement to Subscribe



 


1.1.          Purchase and Issuance of the Units. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Subscriber hereby
agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to sell to the Subscriber, on the Closing Date (as defined below)
the Units in consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price (as defined below). On the Closing Date, the Company shall, at
its option, deliver to the Subscriber the certificates representing the Securities purchased or effect such delivery in book-entry
form.


 


1.2.          Purchase Price. As payment in full for the Units being purchased under this Agreement, the Subscriber shall pay $10.00 per
Unit (the “Purchase Price”), or an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000 for 500,000 Units, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds or by such other method as may be reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the trust account (the “Trust
Account”) at a financial institution to be chosen by the Company, maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company,
acting as trustee (“Continental”) one (1) business day prior to the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
The undersigned hereby agrees that it will purchase an additional amount of Units (“Over-Allotment Units”), up to a
maximum of 15,000 Over-Allotment Units, or a maximum purchase price of $150,000, in the event underwriters exercise their over-allotment
option, such that the amount held in the trust account (as described in the Registration Statement) does not fall below $10.10
per share for each share of Common Stock sold in the IPO.


 


1.3.          Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Units shall take place simultaneously with the closing of the IPO (the
 “Closing Date”). The closing of the purchase and sale of the Units shall take place at the offices of Loeb &
Loeb LLP, 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10154, or such other place as may be agreed upon by the parties hereto.





    1 


     


    




1.4.          Termination. This Agreement and each of the obligations of the undersigned shall be null and void and without effect if
a Closing does not occur prior to June 30, 2021.


 


		2.	Representations and Warranties of the Subscriber



 


The Subscriber represents and warrants that:


 


2.1.          No Government Recommendation or Approval. The Subscriber understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon or
made any recommendation or endorsement of the Company or the Placement of the Securities.


 


2.2.          Accredited Investor. The Subscriber represents that it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in
Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and acknowledges
that the sale contemplated hereby is being made in reliance, among other things, on a private placement exemption to “accredited
investors” under the Securities Act and similar exemptions under state law.


 


2.3.          Intent. The Subscriber is purchasing the Securities solely for investment purposes, for Subscriber’s own account (and/or
for the account or benefit of its members or affiliates, as permitted, pursuant to the terms of an agreement (the “Insider
Letter”) to be entered into with respect to the Securities between, among others, the Subscriber and the Company, as
described in the Registration Statement), and not with a view to the distribution thereof and the Subscriber has no present arrangement
to sell the Securities to or through any person or entity except as may be permitted under the Insider Letter. the Subscriber shall
not engage in hedging transactions with regard to the Securities unless in compliance with the Securities Act.


 


2.4.          Restrictions on Transfer. The Subscriber acknowledges and understands the Units are being offered in a transaction not involving
a public offering in the United States within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Securities have not been registered under
the Securities Act and, if in the future the Subscriber decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Securities,
such Securities may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only (A) pursuant to an effective registration statement
filed under the Securities Act, (B) pursuant to an exemption from registration under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act, if available, or (C) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and
in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state or any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Subscriber acknowledges and understands the Securities are subject to transfer restrictions as described in Section 8 hereof.
The Subscriber agrees that if any transfer of its Securities or any interest therein is proposed to be made, as a condition precedent
to any such transfer, the Subscriber may be required to deliver to the Company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company
with respect to such transfer. Absent registration or another available exemption from registration, the Subscriber agrees it will
not resell the Securities (unless otherwise permitted pursuant to the Insider Letter, as described in the Registration Statement).
The Subscriber further acknowledges that because the Company is a shell company, Rule 144 may not be available to the Subscriber
for the resale of the Securities until the one year anniversary following consummation of the initial Business Combination of the
Company, despite technical compliance with the requirements of Rule 144 and the release or waiver of any contractual transfer restrictions.


 


		2.5.	Sophisticated Investor.



 


(i)          The Subscriber is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in
the Securities.


 


(ii)         The
Subscriber is aware that an investment in the Securities is highly speculative and subject to substantial risks
because, among other things, the Securities are subject to transfer restrictions and have not been registered under the
Securities Act and therefore cannot be sold
unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Subscriber is
able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time.






    2 


     


    




2.6.         Independent Investigation. The Subscriber, in making the decision to purchase the Units, has relied upon an independent
investigation of the Company and has not relied upon any information or representations made by any third parties or upon any oral
or written representations or assurances from the Company, its officers, directors or employees or any other representatives or
agents of the Company, other than as set forth in this Agreement. The Subscriber is familiar with the business, operations and
financial condition of the Company and has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from the Company’s
officers and directors concerning the Company and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Units and has had full access
to such other information concerning the Company as the Subscriber has requested. The Subscriber confirms that all documents that
it has requested have been made available and that the Subscriber has been supplied with all of the additional information concerning
this investment which the Subscriber has requested.


 


2.7.         Organization and Authority. The Subscriber is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Delaware and it possesses all requisite power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.


 


2.8.         Authority. This Agreement has been validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Subscriber and is a valid and binding
agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the general principles of equity and to bankruptcy or other laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.


 


2.9.         No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by the Subscriber of the transactions
contemplated hereby do not violate, conflict with or constitute a default under (i) the Subscriber’s charter documents, (ii)
any agreement or instrument to which the Subscriber is a party or (iii) any law, statute, rule or regulation to which the Subscriber
is subject, or any agreement, order, judgment or decree to which the Subscriber is subject.


 


2.10.       No Legal Advice from Company. The Subscriber acknowledges it has had the opportunity to review this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the other agreements entered into between the parties hereto with the Subscriber’s own
legal counsel and investment and tax advisors. Except for any statements or representations of the Company made in this Agreement
and the other agreements entered into between the parties hereto, the Subscriber is relying solely on such counsel and advisors
and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its representatives or agents for legal, tax or investment
advice with respect to this investment, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the securities laws of any jurisdiction.


 


2.11.       Reliance on Representations and Warranties. The Subscriber understands the Units are being offered and sold to the Subscriber
in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements under the Securities Act, and analogous provisions in the laws and
regulations of various states, and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties,
agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Subscriber set forth in this Agreement in order to determine the applicability
of such provisions.


 


2.12.       No General Solicitation. The Subscriber is not subscribing for the Units as a result of or subsequent to any general solicitation
or general advertising, including but not limited to any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any
newspaper, magazine, or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or presented at any seminar or meeting or in a registration
statement with respect to the IPO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).


 


2.13.       Legend. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees the certificates (if any) evidencing each of the Securities shall bear a
restrictive legend (the “Legend”), in form and substance substantially as set forth in Section 4 hereof.
