Agreement 
 1.
Sale and Purchase. 
  

	 	(a)	 Forward Purchase Units. 



(i) Subject to Sections 1(a)(ii), (iii) and (iv), the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the
Company, up to a maximum of 10,000,000 Forward Purchase Units (the “Maximum Units”) for a purchase price of $10.00 per Forward Purchase Unit (the “Forward Purchase Price”), or up to a maximum of
$100,000,000 in the aggregate. Each Forward Purchase Warrant and its underlying Series A Share will have the same terms as the Warrants and their underlying Series A Shares to be issued in the IPO. Each Forward Purchase Warrant will be subject to
the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement to be entered into between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Warrant Agent, in connection with the IPO. 

(ii) The number of Forward Purchase Units to be issued and sold by the Company and purchased by the Purchaser hereunder shall be determined as
follows: 
 (A) As soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Company’s entry
into the Definitive Agreement, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with notice (the “Initial Company Notice”) of the number of Forward Purchase Units that it desires the Purchaser to purchase pursuant to this Agreement,
which shall be equal to its good faith estimate of that number which, after payment of the aggregate Forward Purchase Price by the Purchaser, will result in gross proceeds to the Company equal to the amount of funds necessary for the Company to
satisfy the Cash Requirements less the Available Cash; provided, however, that such number shall in no event exceed the Maximum Units; 

(iii) At least two (2) Business Days before the Partnering Transaction Closing, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with an updated
notice (the “Final Company Notice”) including: 
 (A) its determination, based on the actual number of Public Shares
validly submitted for redemption or other changes in the Cash Requirements, of the number of Forward Purchase Units that it requires the Purchaser to purchase pursuant to this Agreement; 

(B) the anticipated date of the Partnering Transaction Closing; and 

(C) instructions for wiring the Forward Purchase Price. 

(iv) In the event that any Definitive Agreement is terminated or the transaction contemplated thereby is abandoned, the procedures completed
pursuant to clause (ii) and (iii) above to determine the number of Forward Purchase Units to be purchased by the Purchaser in connection with such Definitive Agreement shall be disregarded and the provisions of clause (ii) and clause
(iii) above must be separately completed for each Definitive Agreement entered into by the Company.

 (v) The closing of the sale of Forward Purchase Units (the “Forward
Closing”) shall be held on the same date and concurrently with the Partnering Transaction Closing (such date being referred to as the “Forward Closing Date”). At least one (1) Business Day prior to the
Forward Closing Date, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Company the Forward Purchase Price for the Forward Purchase Units by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company in such notice to be
held in escrow until the Forward Closing. Immediately prior to the Forward Closing on the Forward Closing Date, (i) the Forward Purchase Price shall be released from escrow automatically and without further action by the Company or the
Purchaser, and (ii) upon such release, the Company shall issue the Forward Purchase Units to the Purchaser in book-entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those arising under state or federal
securities laws), registered in the name of the Purchaser (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions), or to a custodian designated by the Purchaser, as applicable. In the event the Partnering Transaction Closing does not occur
within five (5) Business Days of the date scheduled for closing, the Forward Closing shall not occur and the Company shall promptly (but not later than one (1) Business Day thereafter) return the Forward Purchase Price to the Purchaser.

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE 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 FORWARD PURCHASE

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, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable
remedies, or (iii) to the extent the indemnification provisions contained in the Registration Rights (as defined below) may be limited by applicable federal or state securities laws.

 (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. 
 (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) of any provisions of its organizational documents, (ii) of 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) of 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 or its 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 Forward Purchase 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 to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to any of the Forward Purchase 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.

affairs and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Forward Purchase Units, 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 Forward Purchase Units to the Purchaser has not
been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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 Forward Purchase Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable
U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Purchaser must hold the Forward Purchase 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 Forward Purchase Securities, or any Series A Shares into which the Forward Purchase Securities may be
converted or exercised, for resale, except for the Registration Rights. 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 Forward Purchase 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 filed the Registration Statement for its proposed IPO. The Purchaser understands that the offering of the Forward Purchase Securities is not, and is 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 the Forward Purchase Securities.

the Forward Purchase Securities, and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Forward Purchase Securities.

of risk which could cause the Purchaser to lose all or part of its investment. 
 (j) Accredited Investor. The Purchaser is an
accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. 
 (k) No General Solicitation.

in connection with the offer and sale of the Forward Purchase Units. 
 (l) Residence. The Purchaser’s principal place of
business is the office or offices located at the address of the Purchaser set forth on the signature page hereof.

Company. 
 (n) Adequacy of Financing. At the time of the Forward Closing, the Purchaser will have available to it 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 2 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 3 of this Agreement and in any certificate or

“Transferee”). Upon any such assignment: 
 (i) the applicable Transferee shall execute a signature page to this
Agreement, substantially in the form of the Purchaser’s signature page hereto (the “Joinder Agreement”), which shall reflect the number of Forward Purchase Units to be purchased by such Transferee (the

within twenty-four (24) months from the closing of the IPO but has not completed the Partnering Transaction within such twenty-four (24) month period), or such later date as may be approved by the Company’s stockholders.

interest thereon, if any), if previously paid, and all Purchaser’s funds paid in connection herewith shall be promptly returned to the Purchaser, and thereafter this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and have no effect, without any
liability on the part of the Purchaser or the Company and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, or stockholders and all rights and obligations of each party shall cease; provided, however, that nothing
contained in this Section 8 shall relieve either party from liabilities or damages arising out of any fraud or willful breach by such party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

and inure to the benefit of and are enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors
and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. 

(f) Assignments. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no party hereto may assign either this Agreement or any of its
rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other party.

 11 













 (h) Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for
convenience only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 (i) Governing Law. This Agreement,
the entire relationship of the parties hereto, and any dispute between the parties (whether grounded in contract, tort, statute, law or equity) shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of
New York, without giving effect to its choice of laws principles. 
 (j) Jurisdiction. The parties (i) hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the state courts of New York and to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or
based upon this Agreement, (ii) agree not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement except in state courts of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York,
and (iii) hereby waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property
is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be
enforced in or by such court. 
 (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 contemplated hereby. 
 (l) Amendments. This Agreement may not be
amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision except with the prior written consent of the Company and the Purchaser. 
 (m)
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. 
 (n) 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 Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including all fees and expenses of agents, representatives, financial advisors, legal
counsel and accountants. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent; stamp taxes and all of The Depository Trust Company’s fees associated with the issuance of the Forward Purchase Securities and the securities issuable
upon conversion or exercise of the Forward Purchase Securities. 
 (o) 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 

  
 12 













 
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. 

(p) 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. 

(q) Specific Performance. The Purchaser agrees that irreparable damage may occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not
performed by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Company shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.
