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) Forward
Purchase Shares.


 


(i) Subject
to Sections 1(a)(ii), (iii), and (iv) hereof, the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser or Purchasers, determined
as set forth in Section 1(a)(ii)(B) hereof, and the Purchaser or Purchasers shall purchase from the Company, up to an aggregate
maximum of 7,500,000 Forward Purchase Shares (the “Maximum Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per Forward Purchase
Share (the “Forward Purchase Price”), or up to a maximum of $75,000,000 in the aggregate.


 


(ii) The
number of Forward Purchase Shares to be issued and sold by the Company and purchased by each Purchaser hereunder shall be determined as
follows:


 


(A) As soon as reasonably practicable, but in
no event less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Company’s entry into the Definitive Agreement, the Company shall provide
the Advisor with notice (the “Initial Company Notice”) of the number of Forward Purchase Shares desired to be issued
and sold by the Company pursuant to this Agreement. Such number of Forward Purchase Shares shall be determined by the Company, in its
sole discretion, based on, but not limited to, the Cash Requirements and the Available Cash; provided, however, that such
number shall in no event exceed the Maximum Shares. Following delivery of the Initial Company Notice, the Company shall provide the Advisor
with such other information as the Advisor (or any applicable Transferee pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof) may reasonably request
so that the Advisor may appropriately determine the allocation of the Forward Purchase Shares pursuant to Section 1(a)(ii)(C) hereof.


 


(B) Subject
to Section 1(a)(ii)(C) hereof, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Initial Company Notice, the Advisor shall (i) allocate
to one or more Clients or, in lieu of allocating to a Client, assign to one or more third parties (together with the Clients, the “Purchasers”
and individually, a “Purchaser”), in whole or in part, the obligation to purchase the Forward Purchase Shares set forth
in the Initial Company Notice and (ii) provide the Company with notice (the “Initial Purchaser Notice”) of the identity
of each Purchaser and the number of Forward Purchase Shares it has allocated or assigned to each Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement,
if any, which shall not exceed the Maximum Shares. Upon such allocation or assignment:


 


1. such
Purchaser shall execute a signature page to this Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (a “Purchaser
Joinder”), which shall reflect the number of Forward Purchase Shares to be purchased by such Purchaser and
shall constitute the binding obligation of such Purchaser to purchase such Forward Purchase Shares, subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, and, upon such execution, such Purchaser shall have all the rights and obligations of a Purchaser hereunder
with respect to such Forward Purchase Shares and shall make all of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of a Purchaser
hereunder, and references herein to the “Purchaser” shall be deemed to refer to such Purchaser and to its Forward Purchase
Shares; provided, that any representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of such Purchaser and any other Purchaser shall
be several and not joint and shall be made as to such Purchaser or any other Purchaser, as applicable, as to itself only; provided,
further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent the Company proposes to obtain alternative
financing to fund the initial Business Combination in the form of an offering of New Equity Securities (“Alternative Financing”)
and a Purchaser participates in such Alternative Financing pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the aggregate commitment hereunder shall
be reduced by the amount of such Purchaser’s participation in such Alternative Financing; and


 






    2 


     


    

 


2. upon
a Purchaser’s execution and delivery of a Purchaser Joinder, the number of Forward Purchase Shares to be purchased by such Purchaser
hereunder shall be reflected in Schedule A to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement need not be amended and
restated in its entirety, but only Schedule A need be completed by each of the Purchaser and the Company upon the occurrence of
any such allocation of the Forward Purchase Shares.


 


(C) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor
shall only be obligated to allocate the purchase of some or all of the number of Forward Purchase Shares set forth in the Initial Company
Notice to any Client if and only if: (i) the initial Business Combination is proposed to be consummated with a company engaged in a business
that is within the investment objectives of such Client; and (ii) the initial Business Combination, including the target assets or business,
and the terms of the initial Business Combination, are reasonably acceptable to such Client, as determined by the Advisor in its sole
discretion (it being understood that the Advisor may consider many of the same criteria as the Company will consider, but will also consider
whether the investment is an appropriate investment for such Client, including whether the investment complies with any guidelines, restrictions
or conflicts of interest provisions applicable to such Client), and if not all of the Forward Purchase Shares set forth in the Initial
Company Notice are allocated to Clients, the Advisor may, but shall not be obligated to, assign the obligation to purchase such Forward
Purchase Shares to one or more third parties. The Company acknowledges that this Agreement is neither a commitment nor an obligation of
any Client to purchase any Forward Purchase Shares, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by such Client by execution and delivery
of a Purchaser Joinder.


 


(iii) At
least two (2) Business Days before the Business Combination Closing, the Company shall provide each Purchaser with an updated notice
(the “Final Company Notice”) including:


 


(A) its determination
of the number of Forward Purchase Shares that it desires each Purchaser to purchase pursuant to this Agreement;


 


(B) the anticipated
date of the Business Combination Closing; and


 


(C) instructions for
wiring the aggregate Forward Purchase Price for each such Purchaser’s Forward Purchase Shares.


 


(iv) At
least one (1) Business Day before the Business Combination Closing, each Purchaser shall provide the Company with an updated notice
(the “Final Purchaser Notice”) of the number of Forward Purchase Shares it will be obligated to purchase pursuant to
this Agreement, with no further notification or confirmation necessary from the Company, which number shall not be less than the lesser
of (A) the number of Forward Purchase Shares that such Purchaser was obligated to purchase pursuant to such Purchaser’s Purchaser
Joinder and (B) the number of Forward Purchase Shares that the Company desires the Purchaser to purchase as specified in the Final
Company Notice.


 


(v) The
closing of the sale of Forward Purchase Shares (the “Forward Closing”) shall be held on the same date and concurrently
with the Business Combination 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 aggregate Forward Purchase Price for the Forward
Purchase Shares 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 aggregate
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 Shares 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 Business Combination 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 aggregate Forward
Purchase Price to the Purchaser. For purposes of this Agreement, “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.

register and book entry for the Forward Purchase Shares shall contain a notation, and each certificate (if any) evidencing the Forward
Purchase Shares shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend, in substantially the following form:

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 Shares 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

(g) Restricted
Securities. The Purchaser understands that the offer and sale of the Forward Purchase Shares 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
Shares 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 Shares 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 Shares, or any Class A Shares into which the Forward Purchase Shares 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 Shares, 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 Shares 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 Shares.


 


(h) No
Public Market. The Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Forward Purchase Shares, and that the Company has
made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Forward Purchase Shares.

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. Neither the Purchaser, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders or partners has either
directly or indirectly, including, through a broker or finder (i) engaged in any general solicitation, or (ii) published any
advertisement in connection with the offer and sale of the Forward Purchase Shares.


 






    5 


     


    

 


(l) Residence.

Information. The Purchaser acknowledges its obligations under applicable securities laws with respect to the treatment of non-public
information relating to the Company.

under this Agreement.

any of the Company’s affiliates (collectively, the “Company Parties”).


 


4.
Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the Advisor and
the Purchaser as follows:


 


(a) Incorporation
and Corporate Power. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing and in good standing as a corporation under

in any certificate or agreement delivered pursuant hereto, the Company Parties specifically disclaim that they are relying upon any other
representations or warranties that may have been made by the Purchaser Parties.


 


5. Right
of First Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5, if, in connection with
or prior to the Business Combination Closing, the Company proposes to issue any equity securities, or securities convertible into, exchangeable
or exercisable for equity securities, other than the Public Units (and their component Public Shares and Public Warrants) and the Excluded
Securities (as defined below) (“New Equity Securities”), or offer or seek commitments for any New Equity Securities
to backstop any such capital raise, the Company shall first make an offer of the New Equity Securities to the Advisors on behalf of their
respective Clients or other Purchasers in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 5:


 


(a) Offer
Notice.


 


(i) The
Company shall give written notice (the “Offering Notice”) to the Advisors stating its bona fide intention to offer
the New Equity Securities and specifying the number of New Equity Securities and the material terms and conditions, including the price,
pursuant to which the Company proposes to offer the New Equity Securities and the applicable pro rata share of such New
Equity Securities offered to each of the Advisors pursuant to such Offering Notice, which shall be 50% of such New Equity Securities. 


 






    7 


     


    

 


(ii) The
Offering Notice shall constitute the Company’s offer to sell the New Equity Securities to Clients managed by the Advisors or other
Purchasers, which offer shall be irrevocable for a period of ten (10) Business Days (the “ROFO Notice Period”).


 


(b) Exercise
of Right of First Offer.


 


(i) Upon
receipt of the Offering Notice, the Advisors shall have until the end of the ROFO Notice Period to accept the Company’s offer to
purchase, in whole or in part, its pro rata share of the New Equity Securities by delivering a written notice (a “ROFO
Notice”) to the Company stating that it accepts, on behalf of one or more specified Clients or other Purchasers, the Company’s
offer to purchase such New Equity Securities on the terms specified in the Offering Notice and in the amounts specified in the ROFO Notice.
Any ROFO Notice signed by the Clients or other Purchasers named therein and so delivered shall be binding upon delivery and irrevocable
by such Clients or other Purchasers.


 


(ii) If
one of the Advisors does not deliver a ROFO Notice during the ROFO Notice Period accepting all of the New Equity Securities offered to
it, it shall be deemed to have waived on behalf of its Clients or other Purchasers all rights to purchase the New Equity Securities offered
pursuant to the Offering Notice under this Section 5 that were not included in the ROFO Notice (the “Waived New Equity
Securities”). Thereafter, to the extent the other Advisor has delivered a ROFO Notice to the Company during the ROFO Notice
Period accepting the Company’s initial offer to purchase all of the New Equity Securities offered to it, the Company shall, within
five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the ROFO Notice Period, give an Offering Notice to such Advisor, informing it that it has
the right to increase the number of New Equity Securities that it accepted pursuant to the initial ROFO Notice by up to the number of
Waived New Equity Securities. Such Advisor shall then have two (2) Business Days (the “Subsequent Offering Period”)
in which to accept such second offer, by giving notice of acceptance (the “Subsequent ROFO Notice”) to the Company
prior to the expiration of the Subsequent Offering Period, as to portion of the Waived New Equity Securities it accepts for purchase on
behalf of one or more specified Clients or other Purchasers.


 


(iii) If
the Subsequent Offer Notice is not delivered to the Company prior to the expiration of the Subsequent Offering Period accepting for purchase
all of the Waived New Equity Securities, the applicable Advisor shall be deemed to have waived on behalf of its Clients and other Purchasers
all rights to purchase such Waived New Equity Securities in such second offer by the Company that it did not accept for purchase. The
Company shall thereafter be free to sell or enter into an agreement to sell the unaccepted portion of such Waived New Equity Securities
to any third party without any further obligation to the Advisors pursuant to this Section 5 within the ninety (90) day period
thereafter (and with respect to an agreement to sell, consummate such sale at any time thereafter) on terms and conditions not more favorable
to the third party than those set forth in any Offering Notice. If the Company does not sell or enter into an agreement to sell the unaccepted
portion of the New Equity Securities within such period, the rights provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and the New Equity
Securities shall not be offered to any third party unless first re-offered to the Advisors in accordance with this Section 5.


 


(c) Excluded
Securities. For purposes hereof, the term “Excluded Securities” means Class B Shares (and Class A Shares for which
such Class B Shares are convertible) issued to the Sponsor prior to the IPO, private placement warrants issued by the Company in connection
with the IPO for $1.50 per warrant for an aggregate of $11,600,000 (or $13,040,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is
exercised in full) and which have the same exercise price as the Warrants (“Private Placement Warrants”) issued pursuant
to a private placement agreement by and among the Company and the parties thereto (the “Private Placement Warrant Agreement”),
working capital loans to the Company to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination to the extent
they may be convertible at the option of the lender into warrants of the post- initial Business Combination entity (“Working
Capital Loans”)), warrants issued upon the conversion of Working Capital Loans, any securities issued by the Company as consideration
to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Class A Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement or the Other Forward Contract. 


 






    8 


     


    

 


(d) Additional
Private Placements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, prior to the IPO, the Company will not issue or agree
to issue any securities (other than Forward Purchase Shares contemplated by this Agreement, the Other Forward Contract, the Private Placement
Warrants and the Public Units) without the Advisors’ prior written consent.


 


6.
Registration Rights; Transfer


 


(a) Registration
Rights. Each Purchaser shall be granted registration rights by the Company with respect to the Forward Purchase Shares pursuant to
the registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) to be entered into by the Company in connection
with its IPO, a form of which has been filed with the registration statement relating to the Company’s IPO (the “Registration
Rights”). Upon a Purchaser’s entry into a Purchaser Joinder, such Purchaser shall execute a joinder to the Registration
Rights Agreement.


 


(b) Transfer.
This Agreement and all of the Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder (including the Purchaser’s obligation to purchase
the Forward Purchase Shares) may be transferred or assigned, at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, to a Forward Contract
Party or one or more third parties (each such transferee, a “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 “Transferee Joinder Agreement”), which shall reflect the number of Forward Purchase Shares to be purchased
by such Transferee (the “Transferee Securities”), and, upon such execution, such Transferee shall have all the same
rights and obligations of the Purchaser hereunder with respect to the Transferee Securities, and references herein to the “Purchaser”
shall be deemed to refer to and include any such Transferee with respect to such Transferee and to its Transferee Securities; provided,
that any representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Purchaser and any such Transferee shall be several and not joint
and shall be made as to the Purchaser or any such Transferee, as applicable, as to itself only; and


 


(ii) upon a Transferee’s execution and delivery
of a Transferee Joinder Agreement, the number of Forward Purchase Shares to be purchased by the Purchaser hereunder shall be reduced
by the total number of Forward Purchase Shares to be purchased by the applicable Transferee pursuant to the applicable Transferee Joinder
Agreement, which reduction shall be evidenced by the Purchaser and the Company amending Schedule A and Schedule B to this
Agreement to reflect each transfer and updating the “Number of Forward Purchase Shares” and “Aggregate Purchase Price
for Forward Purchase Shares” on the Purchaser’s signature page hereto to reflect such reduced number of Forward Purchase
Shares, and the Purchaser shall be fully and unconditionally released from its obligation to purchase such Transferee Securities hereunder.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement need not be amended and restated in its entirety, but only Schedule A and Schedule
B and the Purchaser’s signature page hereto need be so amended and updated and executed by each of the Purchaser and the Company
upon the occurrence of any such transfer of Transferee Securities.

Additional Agreements, Acknowledgements and Waivers of the Purchaser.


 


(a) Lock-up; Transfer
Restrictions. The Purchaser agrees that it shall not Transfer any Forward Purchase Shares until 30 days after the completion of
the initial Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Transfers of the Forward Purchase Shares are permitted (any such
transferees, the “Permitted Transferees”): (A) to the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliates or
family members of any of the Company’s officers or directors, any members of the Purchaser, or any affiliates of the
Purchaser; (B) 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 individual’s immediate family or an affiliate of such person, or to a charitable
organization; (C) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual;
(D) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (E) 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 securities were
originally purchased; (F) in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to the completion of a Business Combination;
(G) in the event of the Company’s liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar
transaction which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their Class A Shares for
cash, securities or other property subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination; (H) as a distribution to
limited partners, members or stockholders of the Purchaser; (I) to the Purchaser’s affiliates, to any investment fund or
other entity controlled or managed by the Purchaser or any of its affiliates, or to any investment manager or investment advisor of
the Purchaser or an affiliate of any such investment manager or investment advisor; (J) to a nominee or custodian of a person
or entity to whom a disposition or transfer would be permissible under clauses (A) through (I) above; (K) to the Purchaser
or any Transferee hereunder; (L) by virtue of the laws of the Purchaser’s jurisdiction of formation or its organizational
documents upon dissolution of the Purchaser; and (M) pursuant to an order of a court or regulatory agency; provided, however,
that in the case of clauses (A) through (E) and (H) through (L), these Permitted Transferees must enter into a written
agreement agreeing to be bound by these transfer restrictions. “Transfer” shall mean the (x) sale or
assignment 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 Exchange Act,
and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder) with respect to, any of the Forward Purchase Shares (excluding any
pledges in the ordinary course of business for bona fide financing purposes or as part of prime brokerage arrangements), (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 Forward Purchase Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such Forward Purchase Shares, in
cash or otherwise, or (z) public announcement of any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (x) or
(y).


 


(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, for itself and its affiliates, 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.


 


8. Nasdaq
Listing. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the listing of the Units, Class A
Shares and Public Warrants on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) (or another national securities exchange) at the
time of the Business Combination Closing.


 


9.

terms as of a specified date, which shall be true and correct as of such specified date), except where the failure to be so true and correct
would not have a material adverse effect on the Purchaser or its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

administrative authority or any court, tribunal, or judicial, or arbitral body, and no other legal restraint or prohibition shall be in

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.

Agreement. This Agreement, together with any documents, instruments and writings that are delivered pursuant hereto or referenced

the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby.


 


(e) Successors.
All of the terms, agreements, covenants, representations, warranties, and conditions of this Agreement are binding upon, 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.


 






    12 


     


    

 


(g) Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute
one and the same instrument.


 


(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 Shares.


 


(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 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.
