​
3.1       Initial Term. The employment relationship pursuant to this Agreement shall be for an initial term commencing on the Effective Date and shall continue in effect for a period through June 30, 2023 (the “Initial Term"), unless sooner terminated in accordance with Section 7.
​
3.2       Renewal. Upon expiration of the Initial Term and each Renewal Term, this Agreement will automatically renew for subsequent one (1) year terms (each a “Renewal Term”) unless either party provides ninety (90) days' advance written notice to the other that Orbis or Executive does not wish to renew the Agreement for a subsequent Renewal Term. In the event either party gives notice of nonrenewal pursuant to this Section 3.2, this Agreement will expire at the end of the then current term. The Initial Term and each subsequent Renewal Term are referred to collectively as the “Term”.
​
4.         Compensation.
​
4.1       Base-Salary. As compensation for Executive’s performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, effective beginning on the Effective Date Orbis shall pay to Executive an initial Base Salary a the rate of Two Hundred Ninety-Four Thousand Eighty-One and 58/100 Dollars ($294,081.58) per year, payable in accordance with the normal payroll practices of Orbis, less required deductions for state and federal withholding tax, social security and all other employment taxes and payroll deductions. Executives Base Salary shall be reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee of GCE (the “Compensation Committee”) and adjustments, if any will be made at that time.

Executive's Target Bonus shall be reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee, and adjustments, if any, will be made at that time. The Compensation Committee will determine the actual amount of the bonus earned by Executive for any year, which may be more or less than the Target Bonus, and will base such determination upon both Orbis's achievement of overall performance metrics for the year and Executive's achievement of individual performance metrics as agreed upon by the Compensation Committee and Executive. Earned bonus amounts, if any, shah be paid within two and one-half months following the end of the applicable Orbis fiscal year.
​

For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause is defined as: (a) acts or omissions constituting gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of Executive with respect to Executive’s ' obligations or otherwise relating to the business of Orbis; (b) Executive’s material breach of this Agreement including, without limitation, any breach of Section 8, Section 9 or Section 11; (c) Executive’s breach of Orbis's Employee Nondisclosure and Assignment Agreement (a copy of which has been executed and delivered to Orbis with this Agreement) (the “Nondisclosure Agreement”); (d) Executive's conviction or entry of a plea of nolo contendere for fraud misappropriation or embezzlement or any felony or crime of moral turpitude; (e) Executive's inability to perform the essential functions of Executive’s position with or without reasonable accommodation due to a mental or physical disability; (f) Executive’s willful neglect of duties as determined in the sole and exclusive discretion of GCE, provided that Executive has received written notice of the action or omission giving rise to such determination and has failed to remedy such situation to the satisfaction of GCE within thirty (30) days following receipt of such written notice, unless Executive’s action or omission is not subject to cure, in which case no such notice shall be required; or (g) Executive's death. In the event Executive's employment is terminated in accordance with this Section 7 1, Executive shall be entitled to receive only Executive's Base Salary then in effect, prorated to the date of Executive s termination of employment with Orbis (the “Termination Date”), and all amounts and benefits earned or incurred pursuant to Sections 5 and 6 through the Termination Date.

7.2       Termination Without Cause by Orbis. Orbis may terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement without Cause at any time upon written notice to Executive. In the event of such termination, Executive will receive Executive’s Base Salary then in effect, prorated to the Termination Date, and all amounts and benefits earned or incurred pursuant to Sections 5 and 6 through the Termination Date. In addition, subject to Sections 7.7 and 7.9, Executive will be entitled to receive a “Severance Package” that shall consist of:
​
(a)        severance in an amount equal to the sum of (i) twelve (12) months of Executive’s Base Salary then in effect on the Termination Date, and (ii) 100% of Executive’s Target Bonus for the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs, with the total of such amounts to be payable over twelve (12) months in equal installments in accordance with Orbis’s regular payroll cycle, commencing with the first payroll date occurring on or after the 60th day following the Termination Date;

(b)        payment by Orbis of the premiums required to continue Executive’s group health care coverage under the applicable provisions of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) for a period (the “COBRA Payment Period”) ending on the earlier of (i) twelve (12) months following the Termination Date or (ii) the date on which Executive becomes eligible for health coverage through another employer, provided in any event that Executive timely elects to continue and remains eligible for these benefits under COBRA; and
(c)        acceleration of the vesting of any outstanding time-based Equity Awards to the extent that such Equity Awards would have vested in accordance with their terms had Executive’s employment with Orbis continued uninterrupted until the first anniversary of the Termination Date.
Notwithstanding Section 7.2(b), if Orbis determines, in its sole discretion, that the payment of the COBRA premiums would result in a violation of the nondiscrimination rules of Section 105(h)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any statute or regulation of similar effect (including but not limited to the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act), then in lieu of providing the COBRA premiums, Orbis, in its sole discretion, may elect to instead pay Executive on the first day of each month of the COBRA Payment Period, a fully taxable cash payment equal to the COBRA premiums for that month, subject to applicable tax withholdings (such amount, the “Special Severance Payment,” which shall be treated as part of the Severance Package), for the remainder of the COBRA Payment Period. Executive may, but is not obligated to, use such Special Severance Payment toward the cost of COBRA premiums.

​
7.5          Termination After a Change in Control.
​
(a)        Severance Payment; Equity Award Acceleration. If, upon or within twelve (12) months after a Change in Control (as that term is defined below), Executive’s employment is terminated by Orbis other than for Cause (as defined in Section 7.1) or Executive resigns for Good Reason (as defined in Section 7.3), then Executive shall be entitled to receive Executive’s Base Salary then in effect, prorated to the Termination Date, and all amounts and benefits earned or incurred pursuant to Sections 5 and 6 through the Termination Date. In addition, subject to Sections 7.7 and 7.9, Executive will be entitled to receive (i) the Severance Package described in Section 7.2 and (ii) to the extent not yet vested, but subject to the terms of any agreement governing any such Equity Award, any outstanding Equity Awards granted to Executive by GCE shall vest in full as of the Termination Date. All other GCE or Orbis obligations to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will be automatically terminated and completely extinguished as of the Termination Date, but will be subject to the surviving provisions of this Agreement set forth in Section 13.8.
​
(b)        Parachute Payments.
​
(i)        Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment or benefit Executive would receive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (collectively, the “Payments”) would constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and, but for this sentence, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any similar or successor provision (the “Excise Tax”), then the aggregate amount of the Payments will be either (i) the largest portion of the Payments that would result in no portion of the Payments (after reduction) being subject to the Excise Tax or (ii) the entire Payments, whichever amount after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from a deduction of such state and local taxes), results in Executive's receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of the Payments. Any reduction in the Payments required by this Section will be made in the following order: (A) reduction of cash payments; (B) reduction of accelerated vesting of Equity Awards other than stock options; (C) reduction of accelerated vesting of stock options; and (D) reduction of other benefits paid or provided to Executive. In the event that acceleration of vesting of Equity Awards is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting will be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of such Equity Awards. If two or more Equity Awards are granted on the same date, the accelerated vesting of each award will be reduced on a pro-rata basis.
​
(ii)        The professional firm engaged by GCE for general tax purposes as of the day prior to the date of the event that might reasonably be anticipated to result in Payments that would otherwise be subject to the Excise Tax will perform the foregoing calculations. If the tax firm so engaged by GCE is serving as accountant or auditor for the acquiring company, GCE will appoint a nationally recognized tax firm to make the determinations
​

required by this Section. GCE will bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by the tax firm required to be made by this Section. GCE and Executive shall furnish the tax firm such information and documents as the tax firm may reasonably request in order to make its required determination. The tax firm will provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to GCE and Executive as soon as practicable following its engagement. Any good faith determinations of the tax firm made hereunder will be final, binding and conclusive upon GCE, Orbis and Executive.
​
(c)        Change in Control. A Change in Control is defined as any one of the following occurrences:
​
(i)        Any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), becomes the “beneficial owner” (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of GCE representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total combined voting power of GCE’s then outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; provided, however, that a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred if such degree of beneficial ownership results from any of the following: (A) an acquisition of securities by any person who on the Effective Date is the beneficial owner of more than fifty percent (50%) of such voting power, (B) any acquisition of securities directly from GCE, including, without limitation, pursuant to or in connection with a public offering of securities, (C) any acquisition of securities by GCE, (D) any acquisition of securities by a trustee or other fiduciary under an employee benefit plan of GCE, or (E) any acquisition of securities by an entity owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of GCE in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the voting securities of GCE; or
​
(ii)         the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of GCE's assets (other than a sale or disposition to one or more subsidiaries of Orbis), or any transaction having similar effect is consummated; or
​
(iii)       GCE is party to a merger or consolidation that results in the holders of voting securities of GCE outstanding immediately prior thereto failing to continue to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of GCE or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or
​
(iv)       the dissolution or liquidation of GCE.
​
7.6       Termination of Employment Upon Nonrenewal. In the event either party decides not to renew this Agreement for a subsequent term in accordance with Section 3.2, this Agreement will expire automatically upon completion of the then effective Term, and Executive’s employment with Orbis will thereupon terminate. Executive will be entitled to receive only Executive's Base Salary then in effect, prorated to the Termination Date, and all amounts and benefits earned or incurred pursuant to Sections 5 and 6 through the Termination Date. All other Orbis obligations to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will be automatically terminated and completely extinguished. Executive will not be entitled to receive the Severance Package described in Section 7.2, but will be subject to the surviving provisions of this Agreement as set forth in Section 13.8.
​
7.7       Conditions to Severance Package. Executive will only be entitled to receive the Severance Package if, on or before the 60th day following the Termination Date, Executive
​

​
executes a full general release, releasing all claims, known or unknown, that Executive may have against Orbis and its officers, directors, employees and affiliated companies arising out of or any way related to Executive's employment or termination of employment with Orbis, and the period for revocation, if any, of such release has lapsed without the release having been revoked. In the event that Executive breaches any of the covenants contained in Sections 9 (“Other Covenants”), 10 (“Confidentiality and Proprietary Rights”) or 11 (“Non-Competition; Nonsolicitation of Orbis Employees”), Orbis shall have the right to (a) terminate further provision of any portion of the Severance Package not yet paid or provided, and (b) seek reimbursement from Executive for any and all portions of the Severance Package previously paid or provided to Executive.
​
7.8       Resignation of Board or Other Positions. Executive agrees that should Executive's employment terminate for any reason, Executive will immediately resign all other positions (including board membership) Executive may hold on behalf of GCE or Orbis.
​
7.9       Application of Section 409A.
​
(a)         Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, no amount payable pursuant to this Agreement on account of Executive's termination of employment with Orbis which constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations issued pursuant to Section 409A of the Code (the “Section 409A Regulations”) shall be paid unless and until Executive has incurred a “separation from service” within the meaning of the Section 409A Regulations. Furthermore, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of the Section 409A Regulations as of the date of Executive's separation from service, no amount that constitutes a deferral of compensation which is payable on account of Executive's separation from service shall be paid to Executive before the date (the “Delayed Payment Date”) which is first day of the seventh month after the date of Executive's separation from service or, if earlier, the date of Executive’s death following such separation from service. All such amounts that would, but for this Section 7.9(a), become payable prior to the Delayed Payment Date will be accumulated and paid on the Delayed Payment Date.
​
(b)        It is the intent of Orbis and Executive that any right of Executive to receive installment payments hereunder shall, for all purposes of Section 409A of the Code, be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.
​
(c)        Orbis intends that income provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will not be subject to taxation under Section 409A of the Code. The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in favor of satisfying any applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code. However, Orbis does not guarantee any particular tax effect for income provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement. In any event, except for Orbis's responsibility to withhold applicable income and employment taxes from compensation paid or provided to Executive, Orbis shall not be responsible for the payment of any applicable taxes incurred by Executive on compensation paid or provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement.
​
8.         No Violation of Rights of Third Parties. Executive represents and warrants to Orbis that Executive is not currently a party, and will not become a party, to any other agreement that is in conflict with, or will prevent Executive from complying with, this Agreement. Executive further represents and warrants to Orbis that Executive's performance of all of the terms of this Agreement as an employee of Orbis does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence any proprietary information, knowledge, or data acquired by Executive in confidence or trust prior to Executive’s employment with Orbis.

9.         Other Covenants. Executive hereby makes the following covenants, each of which Executive acknowledges and agrees are a material part of this Agreement:
​
9.1       During the Term, Executive will not (a) breach any agreement to keep in confidence any confidential or proprietary information, knowledge or data acquired by Executive prior to Executive’s employment with Orbis, or (b) disclose to GCE or Orbis, or use or induce GCE or Orbis to use, any confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any previous employer or any other third party.

If Orbis believes such a conflict exists during the Term, Orbis may ask Executive to choose to discontinue the other work or activity or resign employment with Orbis.
​
9.3       During the Term and after the termination thereof, neither Executive nor Orbis will disparage each other, or Orbis's products, services, agents or employees.
​
9.4       During the Term and after the termination thereof, at Orbis's expense and upon its reasonable request, Executive will cooperate and assist Orbis in its defense or prosecution of any disputes, differences, grievances, claims, charges, or complaints between Orbis and any third party, which assistance will include testifying on Orbis's behalf in connection with any such matter or performing any other task reasonably requested by Orbis in connection therewith.

Executive further acknowledges that the business of GCE and Orbis is national in scope and that GCE and Orbis, in the course of such business compete with other companies located throughout the United States. Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing, Executive agrees that, during the Term, and during the twelve-month (12) month period following the Term, Executive shall not directly or indirectly anywhere within the United States of America (a) own (except ownership of less than 1% of any class of securities which are listed for trading on any securities exchange or which are traded in the over-the-counter market), manage, control, participate in, consult with, render services for, be employed by, or in any manner engage in the operation of (i) any business that develops or administers educational services to degree-granting institutions of higher education, or (ii) any other business of GCE or Orbis in which Executive had significant involvement prior to Executive's separation; (b) induce or attempt to induce any employee of GCE or Orbis to leave the employ of Orbis, or in any way interfere with the relationship between GCE or Orbis and any employee thereof, or (c) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee or other business relation of GCE or Orbis to cease doing

​
12.       Injunctive Relief. Executive acknowledges that Executive's breach of the covenants contained in Sections 9, 10 and 11 hereof (collectively “Covenants”) would cause irreparable injury to GCE and Orbis and agrees that in the event of any such breach, GCE and Orbis shall be entitled to seek temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security in addition to any other relief to which GCE or Orbis may be entitled and other remedies Orbis may exercise under this Agreement or otherwise.

Vistas Media Acquisition Company Inc.

30 Wall Street, 8th Floor

New York, NY 10022

 

		Re:	Initial Public Offering

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter (this “Letter
Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting
Agreement”) entered into by and between Vistas Media Acquisition Company Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
and I-Bankers Securities, Inc., as representative (the “Representative”) of the several underwriters
(each, an “Underwriter” and collectively, the “Underwriters”), relating to
an underwritten initial public offering (the “Public Offering”) of up to 11,500,000
of the Company’s units (including up to 1,500,000 units that may be purchased to cover over-allotments, if any) (the “Units”),
each comprised of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A
Common Stock”), and one redeemable warrant. Each warrant (each, a “Warrant”)
entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment
as described in the Prospectus (as defined below). The Units will be sold in the Public Offering pursuant to a registration statement
on Form S-1 and prospectus (the “Prospectus”) filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) and the Company has applied to have the Units listed on The Nasdaq Capital
Market. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 11 hereof.

 

In order to induce
the Company and the Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the Public Offering and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each of Vistas Media Sponsor, LLC
(the “Sponsor”) and the undersigned (each, an “Insider” and collectively, the
“Insiders”), hereby agrees with the Company as follows:

 

		1.	Each of the Sponsor and the Insiders agrees that if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a
proposed Business Combination, then in connection with such proposed Business Combination, it, he or she shall (i) vote any shares
of Common Stock (as defined below) owned by it, him or her in favor of any proposed Business Combination and (ii) not redeem any
shares of Common Stock owned by it, him or her in connection with such stockholder approval. If the Company seeks to consummate
a proposed Business Combination by engaging in a tender offer, each of the Sponsor and the Insiders agrees that it, he or she will
not sell or tender any shares of Common Stock owned by it, him or her in connection therewith.

 

		2.	Each of the Sponsor and the Insiders
hereby agrees that in the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 12 months from the closing
of the Public Offering or, in the event that the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination in accordance with the Company's second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (as it may be
amended from time to time, the “Charter”), within 18 months from the date of the closing of the Public
Offering, or such later period approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the Charter, the Sponsor and each Insider
shall take all reasonable steps to cause the Company to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as
promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the shares of Class A Common Stock
sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering (the “Offering Shares”), at a per-share price, payable
in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (as defined below), including interest earned on the
funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to
pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish
all Public Stockholders’ (as defined below) rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions,
if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s
remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s
obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. Each of the Sponsor
and the Insiders agrees to not propose any amendment to the Charter to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation
to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the required time period
set forth in the Charter or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial
business combination activity, unless the Company provides its Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Offering
Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit
in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company
to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares.

 

    

     

    

 

Each of the Sponsor and the Insiders
acknowledges that it, he or she 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 with respect to the Founder Shares held by it,
him or her. Each of the Sponsor and the Insiders hereby further waives, with respect to any shares of Common Stock held by it,
him or her, if any, any redemption rights it, he or she may have in connection with (A) the consummation of a Business Combination,
including, without limitation, any such rights available in the context of a stockholder vote to approve such Business Combination,
or (B) a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Charter to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation
to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company has not consummated a Business Combination within the time period set forth
in the Charter or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business
combination activity or in the context of a tender offer made by the Company to purchase Offering Shares (although the Sponsor,
the Insiders and their respective affiliates shall be entitled to redemption and liquidation rights with respect to any Offering
Shares it or they hold if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Charter).

 

		3.	During the period commencing on the effective date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 180
days after such date, each of the Sponsor and the Insiders shall not, without the prior written consent of the Representative,
(i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or
agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call
equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, with respect to, any Units, shares
of Common Stock (including, but not limited to, Founder Shares), Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or
exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock owned by it, him or her, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers
to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Units, shares of Common Stock (including,
but not limited to, Founder Shares), Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of
Common Stock owned by it, him or her, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or
otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii). Each of the Insiders
and the Sponsor acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the effective date of any release or waiver of the restrictions set forth
in this paragraph 3 or paragraph 7 below, the Company shall announce the impending release or waiver by press release through a
major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted
shall only be effective two business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph will
not apply to any transfer permitted under paragraph 7(c) hereof or if the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer
not for consideration and the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Letter Agreement
to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

 

    2

     

    

 

		4.	In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account upon the failure of the Company to consummate
its initial Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Charter, the Sponsor (the “Indemnitor”)
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including,
but not limited to, any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any
litigation, whether pending or threatened) to which the Company may become subject as a result of any claim by (i) any third party
for services rendered or products sold to the Company or (ii) any prospective target business with which the Company has entered
into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement (a “Target”);
provided, however, that such indemnification of the Company by the Indemnitor (x) shall apply only to the extent
necessary to ensure that such claims by a third party or a Target do not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below
the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Offering Share and (ii) the actual amount per Offering Share held in the Trust Account as of the date
of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Offering Share is then held in the Trust Account due to reductions
in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, (y) shall not apply to any claims by a third party or a Target which executed
a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) and (z) shall
not apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Indemnitor shall have the right to defend against any such claim with counsel
of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Company if, within 15 days following written receipt of notice of the claim to the
Indemnitor, the Indemnitor notifies the Company in writing that it shall undertake such defense.

 

		5.	To the extent that the Underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase up
to an additional 1,500,000 Units within 30 days from the date of the Prospectus (and as further described in the Prospectus), the
Sponsor agrees to forfeit, at no cost, a number of Founder Shares in the aggregate equal to 375,000 multiplied by a fraction, (i)
the numerator of which is 1,500,000 minus the number of Units purchased by the Underwriters upon the exercise of their over-allotment
option, and (ii) the denominator of which is 1,500,000. The forfeiture will be adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment option
is not exercised in full by the Underwriters so that the Founder Shares will represent an aggregate of 20.0% of the Company’s
issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock after the Public Offering (not including shares of Class A Common Stock underlying
the Warrants or Private Placement Securities). The Sponsor further agrees that to the extent that the size of the Public Offering
is increased or decreased, the Company will purchase or sell Units or effect a share repurchase or share capitalization, as applicable,
immediately prior to the consummation of the Public Offering in such amount as to maintain the ownership of the initial shareholders
prior to the Public Offering at 20.0% of its issued and outstanding Capital Shares upon the consummation of the Public Offering.
In connection with such increase or decrease in the size of the Public Offering, then (A) the references to 1,500,000 in the numerator
and denominator of the formula in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be changed to a number equal to 15% of the number
of Public Shares included in the Units issued in the Public Offering and (B) the reference to 375,000 in the formula set forth
in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be adjusted to such number of Founder Shares that the Sponsor would have to surrender
to the Company in order for the initial shareholders to hold an aggregate of 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding
shares of Class A Common Stock after the Public Offering (not including shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Warrants
or Private Placement Securities).

 

		6.	The Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (i) the Underwriters and the
Company would be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by such Sponsor or an Insider of its, his or her obligations under
paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7(a), and 7(b), as applicable, of 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.

 

		7.	(a)The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it, he or she shall not Transfer any Founder Shares
(or any shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion
of the Company’s initial Business Combination and (B) subsequent to the Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of
the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations
and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Company’s initial
Business Combination or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization
or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares
of Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property (the “Founder Shares Lock-up Period”).

 

    3

     

    

 

(b)       The
Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it, he or she shall not Transfer any Private Placement Securities (or any securities underlying
the Private Placement Securities, including the shares of Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants included in the Private Placement
Units and the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants), until 30 days after
the completion of a Business Combination (the “Private Placement Securities Lock-up Period”, together
with the Founder Shares Lock-up Period, the “Lock-up Periods”).

 

(c)       Notwithstanding
the provisions set forth in paragraphs 7(a) and (b), Transfers of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Securities, component securities
of Private Placement Securities and shares of Class A Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Private
Placement Warrants or the Founder Shares and that are held by the Sponsor, any Insider or any of their permitted transferees (that
have complied with this paragraph 7(c)), are permitted (a) to the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliate or family
member of any of the Company’s officers or directors, any members or partners of the Sponsor or their affiliates, any affiliates
of the Sponsor, or any employees of such affiliates; (b) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of such individual’s
immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of such individual’s immediate family, an affiliate
of such individual or to a charitable organization; (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution
upon death of such 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 any forward purchase agreement or similar arrangement or in connection with the consummation
of an initial 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 an initial Business Combination; (g) by virtue of the laws
of the State of Delaware or the Sponsor’s limited liability company agreement upon dissolution of the Sponsor; or (h) in
the event of the Company’s liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all
of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other
property subsequent to the Company’s completion of an initial Business Combination; provided, however, that
in the case of clauses (a) through (e) or (g), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement with the Company
agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions and the other restrictions contained herein and by the same agreements entered
into by the Sponsor or the Insider with respect to such securities (including provisions relating to voting, the trust account
and liquidation distributions).

 

		8.	Each of the Sponsor and the Insiders represents and warrants that it, he or she has never been
suspended or expelled from membership in any securities or commodities exchange or association or had a securities or commodities
license or registration denied, suspended or revoked. Each Insider’s biographical information furnished to the Company (including
any such information included in the Prospectus) is true and accurate in all respects and does not omit any material information
with respect to the Insider’s background. Each of the Sponsor’s and the Insiders’ questionnaire furnished to
the Company is true and accurate in all respects. Each of the Sponsor and the Insiders represents and warrants that: it, he or
she is not subject to or a respondent in any legal action for, any injunction, cease-and-desist order or order or stipulation to
desist or refrain from any act or practice relating to the offering of securities in any jurisdiction; it, he or she has never
been convicted of, or pleaded guilty to, any crime (i) involving fraud, (ii) relating to any financial transaction or handling
of funds of another person, or (iii) pertaining to any dealings in any securities; and it, he or she is not currently a defendant
in any such criminal proceeding.

 

    4

     

    

 

		9.	Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, neither the Sponsor nor any officer, nor any affiliate of
the Sponsor or any officer, nor any director of the Company, shall receive from the Company any finder’s fee, reimbursement,
consulting fee, non-cash payments, monies in respect of any repayment of a loan or other compensation prior to, or in connection
with any services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination (regardless
of the type of transaction that it is), other than the following, none of which will be made from the proceeds held in the Trust
Account prior to the completion of the initial Business Combination: repayment of a loan and advances up to an aggregate of $300,000
made to the Company by the Sponsor; payments to the Sponsor for certain office space, secretarial and administrative services as
may be reasonably required by the Company of $10,000 per month; reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related
to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing an initial Business Combination, and repayment of loans, if any, and
on such terms as to be determined by the Company from time to time, made by the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or any of
the Company’s officers or directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination,
provided that, if the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination, a portion of the working capital held outside
the Trust Account may be used by the Company to repay such loaned amounts so long as no proceeds from the Trust Account are used
for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of
the lender. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise
period of the underlying warrants. In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the Sponsor hereby waives its right to be repaid
for any loan the Sponsor has made to the Company, including loans to extend the period of time during which the Company must
consummate a Business Combination (other than from funds available to the Company not held in the Trust Account, including
interest permitted to be withdrawn).

 

		10.	Each of the Sponsor and the Insiders has full right and power, without violating any agreement
to which it is bound (including, without limitation, any non-competition or non-solicitation agreement with any employer or former
employer), to enter into this Letter Agreement and, as applicable, to serve as an officer and/or director on the board of directors
of the Company and hereby consents to being named in the Prospectus as an officer and/or director of the Company.

 

		11.	As used herein: (i) “Business Combination” shall mean a merger,
                                                               capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving the
                                                               Company and one or more businesses; (ii) “Common Stock” shall mean the Class A common stock and
                                                               Class B common stock; (iii) “Founder Shares” shall mean the 2,875,000 shares of Class B common

                                                               over-allotment option is not exercised by the Underwriters); (iv) “Initial Stockholders” shall mean
                                                               the Sponsor and any Insider that holds Founder Shares; (v) “Private Placement Securities” shall
                                                               mean the Private Placement Units and the Private Placement Warrants, (vi) “Private Placement Units”
                                                               shall mean the aggregate of 295,000 Units (or 316,389 Units if the over-allotment option is exercised in full) that the

		13.	This Letter Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto
in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the
parties hereto, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated

to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto.

 

		14.	No party hereto may assign either this Letter Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall

Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their successors, heirs, personal representatives
and assigns and permitted transferees.

of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but
one and the same instrument.

 

		17.	This Letter Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any
term or provision hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Letter Agreement or of any other term or provision
hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall
be added as a part of this Letter Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be
possible and be valid and enforceable.

 

		18.	This Letter Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York. The parties hereto (i) all agree that any action, proceeding, claim or dispute arising out of, or relating
in any way to, this Letter Agreement shall be brought and enforced in the courts of New York City, in the State of New York, and
irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction and venue, which jurisdiction and venue shall be exclusive and (ii) waive any objection
to such exclusive jurisdiction and venue or that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.

 

		19.	Any notice, consent or request to be given in connection with any of the terms or provisions of
this Letter Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by express mail or similar private courier service, by certified mail
(return receipt requested), by hand delivery or facsimile transmission.

 

		20.	This Letter Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Lock-up Periods
