WHEREAS, the Company has filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a draft registration statement on Form S-1 (the

(the “Public Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, each comprised of one Class A Share of

share (the “Warrant(s)”);

 

WHEREAS, following the closing of the IPO
(the “IPO Closing”), the Company will seek to identify and consummate a Business Combination; and

 

WHEREAS, the parties wish to enter into
this Agreement, pursuant to which concurrently with the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination (the “Business

from the Trust Account (after giving effect to any redemptions of Public Shares) and any other equity or debt financing obtained

for working capital or other purposes (the “Cash Requirements”);

 

     

     

    

 

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:

 

		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 Purchasers, and the Purchasers
shall purchase from the Company, in the aggregate, 14,000,000 Forward Purchase Units, or such lesser amount calculated in accordance
with Section 1(a)(ii) below, for a purchase price of $10.00 per Forward Purchase Unit. Each Forward Purchase Warrant
will have the same terms as each Warrant sold as part of the public units in the IPO, and 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 (the “Warrant Agreement”), mutatis mutandis. Each Forward Purchase
Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment
as described in the Warrant Agreement and only whole Forward Purchase Warrants will be exercisable. The Forward Purchase Warrants
will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the Business Combination Closing and 12 months from the IPO Closing, and
will expire five years after the Business Combination Closing or earlier upon redemption or the liquidation of the Company, as
described in the Warrant Agreement.

 

(ii)          The
number of Forward Purchase Units to be issued and sold by the Company and purchased by the Purchasers hereunder, and the aggregate
purchase price to be paid for the Forward Purchase Units, shall be determined as follows:

 

A.          In
no event later than Twenty (20) Business Days prior to the Company’s entry into the Definitive Agreement, the Company shall
provide the Purchasers with notice (the “Initial Company Notice”) of the contemplated counterparty to the Definitive
Agreement and the Cash Requirements for the consummation of the Business Combination. Following delivery of the Initial Company
Notice, the Company shall provide the Purchasers with such other information as they may reasonably request so that they may determine
the number of Forward Purchase Units to purchase pursuant to this Agreement and seek the approval of their investment committees
with respect thereto.

 

    2

     

    

 

B.           Within
five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Initial Company Notice, the Purchasers shall provide the Company with notice
(the “Purchase Notice”) of the aggregate number of Forward Purchase Units the Purchasers will acquire
pursuant to this Agreement, if any, which aggregate number shall be no greater than 14,000,000 (the “Final Forward
Purchase Amount”), and the aggregate purchase price to be paid by the Purchasers to acquire the Final Forward Purchase
Amount or Forward Purchase Units, which shall be the product of (x) the Final Forward Purchase Amount multiplied by
(y) $10.00 (such product, the “Forward Purchase Price”), which notice shall constitute the binding
obligation of the Purchasers to purchase, and the Company to sell to the Purchasers, the Final Forward Purchase Amount of Forward
Purchase Units, for the Forward Purchase Price, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

(iii)         At
least eleven (11) Business Days before the Business Combination Closing, the Company shall provide the Purchasers with notice of:

 

		A.	the anticipated date of the Business Combination Closing; and

 

		B.	instructions for wiring the Forward Purchase Price.

 

(iv)         At
least two (2) Business Days before the Business Combination Closing, the Purchasers shall provide the Company with an allocation
notice (the “Allocation Notice”) of the number of Forward Purchase Units to be purchased, and portion
of the Forward Purchase Price to be paid, by each Purchaser, with the aggregate amount of Forward Purchase Units being the Final
Forward Purchase Amount and the aggregate amount to be paid being the Forward Purchase Price.

 

(v)          The
closing of the sale of Forward Purchase Units (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 Purchasers 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 Purchasers, and (ii) upon such release, the Company shall issue the Forward Purchase Units to the Purchasers
in accordance with the Allocation Notice 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 Purchasers (or their nominees in accordance
with their delivery instructions) in accordance with the Allocation Notice, or to a custodian designated by each 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 Forward Purchase Price to the Purchasers. 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.

 

		(b)	Delivery of Forward Purchase Units.

 

(i)           The
Company shall register the Purchasers, in accordance with the Allocation Notice, as the owners of the Forward Purchase Units purchased
by the Purchasers hereunder in the register of members of the Company and with the Company’s transfer agent by book entry
on or promptly after (but in no event more than two (2) Business Days after) the date of the Forward Closing.

 

    3

     

    

 

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

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. 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 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 AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE HOLDER AND THE COMPANY. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT
MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY”

 

(c)          Legend
Removal. If the Forward Purchase Securities are eligible to be sold without restriction under, and without the Company being
in compliance with the current public information requirements of, Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
 “Securities Act”), then at any Purchaser’s request, the Company will, at its sole expense, cause
the Company’s transfer agent to remove the legend set forth in Section 1(b)(ii) hereof. In connection therewith,
if required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company will promptly cause an opinion of counsel to be delivered to and
maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer
agent, that authorize and direct the transfer agent to transfer such Forward Purchase Securities without any such legend; provided,
however, that the Company will not be required to deliver any such opinion, authorization or certificate or direction if
it reasonably believes that removal of the legend could reasonably be expected to result in or facilitate transfers of Forward
Purchase Securities in violation of applicable law.

 

(d)          Registration
Rights. The Purchasers shall have registration rights with respect to the Forward Purchase Securities as set forth on Exhibit A
(the “Registration Rights”).

 

2.           Representations
and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company
on behalf of itself as follows, as of the date hereof:

 

(a)          Organization
and Power. Such Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of
its formation (if the concept of “good standing” is a recognized concept in such jurisdiction) and has all requisite
power and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted.

 

    4

     

    

 

(b)          Authorization.
Such Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by such Purchaser,
will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchasers, enforceable 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 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 such Purchaser in connection with
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(d)          Compliance
with Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation by
such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in any violation or default (i) of any provisions
of its organizational documents, if applicable, (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 such Purchaser, in each case (other than clause (i)), which would
have a material adverse effect on such Purchaser or its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(e)          Purchase
Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with each Purchaser in reliance upon such Purchaser’s representations
to the Company, which by such Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, such Purchaser hereby confirms, that the Forward
Purchase Securities to be acquired by such Purchaser will be acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own accounts, not
as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that such Purchaser has no present
intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of law. By executing this
Agreement, such Purchaser further represents that such 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. If such Purchaser was formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Forward Purchase
Securities, each of its equity owners is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated
under the Securities Act. 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.

and the terms and conditions of the offering and sale of the Forward Purchase Units, as well as the terms of the IPO, with the
Company’s management.

 

(g)          Restricted
Securities. Each Purchaser understands that the offer and sale of the Forward Purchase Units to such Purchaser has not been,
and will not be, registered under 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 such Purchaser’s
representations as expressed herein. Such 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, such Purchaser may be required to 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. Such Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has
no obligation to register or qualify the Forward Purchase Securities, or any Class A Shares which the Forward Purchase Securities
may be converted into or exercised for, for resale, except pursuant to the Registration Rights. Such 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 requirements relating
to the Company which are outside of such Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be
able to satisfy. Such Purchaser acknowledges that the Company filed the Registration Statement for the IPO with the SEC. Such Purchaser
understands that the offering of the Forward Purchase Securities hereunder is not, and is not intended to be, part of the IPO,
and that such Purchaser will not be able to rely on the protection of Section 11 of the Securities Act with respect to such
offering of the Forward Purchase Securities.

 

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

 

(i)           High
Degree of Risk. Each Purchaser understands that its agreement to purchase the Forward Purchase Securities involves a high degree
of risk which could cause such Purchaser to lose all or part of its investment.

 

(j)           Accredited
Investor. Each Purchaser is an “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated
under the Securities Act.

 

(k)          Foreign
Investors. If any Purchaser is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the U.S. Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended), that Purchaser hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws
of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Forward Purchase Units or any use of this Agreement,
including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Forward Purchase Units, (ii) any
foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained,
and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale,
or transfer of the Forward Purchase Units. Such Purchaser’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership
of the Forward Purchase Units will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Purchaser’s jurisdiction.

in the nature of a finder’s or broker’s fee arising out of this transaction (and the costs and expenses of defending
against such liability or asserted liability) for which such Purchaser or any of its officers, employees or representatives is
responsible. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Purchasers from any liability for any commission or
compensation in the nature of a finder’s or broker’s fee arising out of this transaction (and the costs and expenses
of defending against such liability or asserted liability) for which the Company or any of its officers, employees or representatives
is responsible.

 

(c)          Survival

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

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 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 consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Purchaser may
assign and delegate all or a portion of its rights and obligations to purchase the Forward Purchase Securities to one or more other
persons upon the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed); provided,
however, that no consent of the Company shall be required if such assignment or delegation is to an affiliate of such Purchaser;
provided, further, that no such assignment or delegation shall relieve such Purchaser of its obligations hereunder
(including its obligation to purchase the Number of Forward Purchase Shares and the Number of Forward Purchase Warrants hereunder)
and the Company shall be entitled to pursue all rights and remedies against such Purchaser subject to the terms and conditions
hereof.

 

(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.

 

    14

     

    

 

(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 (i)  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 Purchasers.

 

(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 Purchasers will be responsible for payment of 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
and resale of the Forward Purchase Securities and the securities issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Forward Purchase
Securities.

 

    15

     

    

 

(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)          Confidentiality.
Except as may be required by law, regulation or applicable stock exchange listing requirements, unless and until the transactions
contemplated hereby and the terms hereof are publicly announced or otherwise publicly disclosed by the Company, the parties hereto
shall keep confidential and shall not publicly disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement.

 

(r)           Specific
Performance. Each Purchaser agrees that irreparable damage may occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed
by such 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.

Exhibit A

 

Registration Rights

 

1.            Within
thirty (30) days after the Business Combination Closing, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts (i) to file a registration
statement on Form S-3 for a secondary offering (including any successor registration statement covering the resale of the
Registrable Securities, a “Resale Shelf”) of (x) the Forward Purchase Shares and Forward Purchase
Warrants (and underlying Class A Shares) comprising the Forward Purchase Securities and (y) any other equity security
of the Company issued or issuable with respect to the securities referred to in clause (x) by way of a share capitalization
or share split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or reorganization (collectively,
for so long as such securities are held by any Purchaser or its assignees under the Agreement (each, a “Holder”),
the “Registrable Securities”) pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act; provided that if Form S-
3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate
form and undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, (ii) to cause
the Resale Shelf to be declared effective under the Securities Act promptly thereafter, but in no event later than sixty (60) days
after the initial filing of the Resale Shelf, and (iii) to maintain the effectiveness of such Resale Shelf with respect to
the Registrable Securities until the earliest of (A) the date on which such securities are no longer Registrable Securities
and (B) the date all of the Registrable Securities covered by the Resale Shelf can be sold publicly without restriction or
limitation under Rule 144 under the Securities Act and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) under
the Securities Act.

 

2.            The
Holders may, after the Resale Shelf becomes effective, deliver a written notice to the Company (the “Underwritten
Offering Notice”) specifying that the sale of some or all of the Registrable Securities subject to the Resale
Shelf is intended to be conducted through a firm commitment underwritten offering (an “Underwritten
Offering”); provided, however, that the Holders of Registrable Securities may not, without the
Company’s prior written consent, (i) launch an Underwritten Offering the anticipated gross proceeds of
which shall be less than $10,000,000 (unless the Holders are proposing to sell all of their remaining Registrable
Securities), (ii) launch more than three Underwritten Offerings at the request of the Holders within any three-hundred
sixty-five (365) day-period or (iii) launch an Underwritten Offering within the period commencing fourteen (14) days
prior to and ending two (2) days following the Company’s scheduled earnings release date for any fiscal quarter or
year. In the event of an Underwritten Offering, the Holders representing a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities
to be included in such Underwritten Offering shall select the managing underwriter(s) for the Underwritten Offering; provided
that the choice of such managing underwriter(s) shall be subject to the consent of the Company, which is not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the underwriter(s) for any Underwritten Offering pursuant to this
paragraph 2 of this exhibit A (each, a “Secondary Offering”) advise the Company and the Holders
that, in their good faith opinion, marketing factors require a limitation on the number of securities that may be included in
such Secondary Offering, the number of securities to be so included shall be allocated as follows: (i) first, to the
Holders that have requested to participate in such Secondary Offering, allocated pro rata among such Holders on the
basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Secondary Offering by such Holders,
and (ii) second, to the holders of any other securities of the Company that have been requested to be so included.

 

    A-1

     

    

 

3.            Upon
receipt of prior written notice by any Holder that they intend to effect a sale of Registrable Securities held by them as are then
registered pursuant to the Resale Shelf, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate in such sale (whether or
not such sale constitutes an Underwritten Offering), including by amending or supplementing the prospectus related to such Resale
Shelf as may be reasonably requested by such Holder for so long as such Holder holds Registrable Securities.

 

4.            In
the event the Company is prohibited by applicable rule, regulation or interpretation by the staff (the “Staff”)
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) from registering all of the Registrable Securities
on the Resale Shelf or the Staff requires that any Holder be specifically identified as an “underwriter” in order to
permit such registration statement to become effective, and such Holder does not consent in writing to being so named as an underwriter
in such registration statement, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on the Resale Shelf will be reduced on a
pro rata basis among all Holders to be so included, unless otherwise required by the Staff, so that the number of Registrable Securities
to be registered is permitted by the Staff and such Holder is not required to be named as an “underwriter”; provided,
that any Registrable Securities not registered due to this paragraph 4 shall thereafter as soon as allowed by the SEC guidance
be registered to the extent the prohibition no longer is applicable.

 

5.            If
at any time the Company proposes to file a registration statement (a “Registration Statement”) on its
own behalf, or on behalf of any other Persons who have registration rights (“Other Holders”), relating
to an Underwritten Offering of ordinary shares (a “Company Offering”), then the Company will provide
the Holders with notice in writing (an “Offer Notice”) at least three (3) Business Days prior to
such filing, which Offer Notice will offer to include in the Registration Statement the Registrable Securities held by each Holder
(the “Piggyback Securities”). Within three (3) Business Days after receiving the Offer Notice, each
Holder may make a written request (a “Piggyback Request”) to the Company to include some or all of such
Holder’s Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement. If the underwriter(s) for any Company Offering advise
the Company that, in their good faith opinion, marketing factors require a limitation on the number of securities that may be included
in the Company Offering, the number of securities to be so included shall be allocated as follows: (i) first, to the Company
and the Other Holders, if any; and (ii) second, to the Holders and any other holders of similar piggyback rights, based pro
rata on the value of the securities requested to be sold in such Company Offering by each requesting holder.

 

6.            In
connection with any Underwritten Offering, the Company shall enter into such customary agreements and take all such other actions
in connection therewith (including those requested by Holders representing a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities
to be included in such Underwritten Offering) in order to facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities as are reasonably
necessary or required, and in such connection enter into a customary underwriting agreement that provides for customary opinions,
comfort letters and officer’s certificates and other customary deliverables.

 

    A-2

     

    

 

7.            The
Company shall pay all fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with its obligation to prepare, file and maintain
the Resale Shelf (including the fees of its counsel and accountants). The Company shall also pay all Registration Expenses. For
purposes of this paragraph 7, “Registration Expenses” shall mean the out-of-pocket expenses of any Secondary
Offering and any Company Offering, including, without limitation, the following: (i) all registration and filing fees
(including fees with respect to filings required to be made with FINRA and any securities exchange on which the Registrable Securities
are then listed); (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements
of counsel for the underwriters in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities); (iii) printing,
messenger, telephone and delivery expenses; (iv) reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company; (v) reasonable
fees and disbursements of all independent registered public accountants of the Company; and (vi) reasonable fees and expenses
of one (1) legal counsel selected by Holders representing a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities participating
in any such Secondary Offering not to exceed $75,000 per Secondary Offering, but shall not include any incremental selling expenses
relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, underwriter
marketing costs and, other than as set forth in clause (vi) of this paragraph 7, the fees and expenses of any legal counsel
representing the Holders; and provided that the Company shall only be responsible for expenses under clause (vi) with respect
to two Secondary Offerings in any consecutive three-hundred sixty-five (365) day-period.

 

8.            The
Company may suspend the use of a prospectus included in the Resale Shelf by furnishing to the Holders a written notice (“Suspension
Notice”) stating that in the good faith judgment of the Company, it would be either (i) prohibited by the Company’s
insider trading policy (as if the Holders were covered by such policy) or (ii) materially detrimental to the Company and its
shareholders for such prospectus to be used at such time. The Company’s right to suspend the use of such prospectus under
clause (ii) of the preceding sentence may be exercised for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after the date of such
notice to the Holders; provided such period may be extended for an additional thirty (30) days with the consent of Holders representing
a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided further, that
such right to suspend the use of a prospectus shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any twelve (12) month period.
The Holders shall not effect any sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Shelf at any time after they have received
a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined below). The Holders may recommence
effecting sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Shelf following further written notice to such effect (an
 “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company to the Holders. The Company shall act in good faith to permit
any suspension period contemplated by this paragraph 8 of this exhibit A to be concluded as promptly as reasonably practicable.

 

9.            The
Holders agree that, except as required by applicable law, the Holders shall treat as confidential the receipt of any Suspension
Notice (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material nonpublic information of the Company) hereunder and shall
not disclose or use the information contained in such Suspension Notice without the prior written consent of the Company until
such time as the information contained therein is or becomes public, other than as a result of disclosure by a Holder of Registrable
Securities in breach of the terms of this Agreement.

 

    A-3

     

    

 

10.          The
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Holders, their respective directors and officers, partners, members, managers, employees,
agents, and representatives and each person, if any, who controls a Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act and any agent thereof (collectively, “Indemnified Persons”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, costs (including reasonable costs of preparation
and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising
from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which
any Indemnified Person may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, under the Securities Act or otherwise
(collectively, “Losses”), promptly as incurred, arising out of, based upon or resulting from any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Resale Shelf (or any amendment or supplement thereto),
the related prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of, are based upon or resulting from the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable
in any such case or to any Indemnified Person to the extent that any such Loss arises out of, is based upon or results from an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission or so made in reliance upon or in conformity with
information furnished by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person in writing specifically for use in the preparation of the Resale
Shelf, the related prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless
of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person, and shall survive the transfer of such securities by any
Purchaser.

 

11.          The

in writing such information as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with the Resale Shelf, the related prospectus,

in the Resale Shelf, the related prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such
untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for inclusion in
such Resale Shelf, related prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, as applicable; provided that the obligation to indemnify
shall be individual, not joint and several, and shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by the applicable Holder
from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Shelf.

 

12.          The
Company shall cooperate with the Holders, to the extent the Registrable Securities become freely tradable, to facilitate the timely
preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered
pursuant to a Resale Shelf and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Holders
may reasonably request and registered in such names as each Holder may request.

13.          If
requested by Holders representing a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall as soon as practicable,
subject to any Suspension Notice, (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information
as each Holder reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including,
without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price
being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make
all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated

long as Registrable Securities are outstanding, the Company, at all times while it shall be reporting under the Exchange Act, covenants
to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be
filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and to promptly furnish
the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings, unless filed through the SEC’s EDGAR system. The Company further
covenants that it shall take such further action as the Holders may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to
time, to enable the Holders to sell the Forward Purchase Shares and Forward Purchase Warrants held by the Holders without registration
under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act,
including providing any legal opinions, to the extent such exemption is available to the Holder at such time. Upon the request
of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has

EMCORE CORPORATION

FISCAL 2021 BONUS PLAN

 

This EMCORE Corporation Fiscal 2021 Bonus
Plan (this “Bonus Plan”) sets forth the terms of the fiscal 2021 annual incentive bonus opportunity for eligible
employees of EMCORE Corporation (the “Corporation”) selected to participate in this Bonus Plan (each, a “Participant”).

 

		1.	ADMINISTRATION

 

This Bonus
Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) of the
Corporation. The Committee shall act as the Administrator of this Bonus Plan, and shall have the authority to construe and interpret
this Bonus Plan, to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Bonus Plan, and to authorize the Corporation’s
Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) or his delegates to make determinations under this Bonus Plan for Participants
who are not executive officers of the Corporation (the “Other Participants”). Any powers of the Administrator
pursuant to this Bonus Plan may also be exercised by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

 

		2.	AWARDS

 

Each Participant
will be granted an “Award” under this Bonus Plan.

 

For Participants
who are executive officers of the Corporation (the “Executive Officers”), subject to the terms and conditions
of this Bonus Plan, each Award represents the opportunity to receive a cash payment (the “Bonus”) for the Corporation’s
2021 fiscal year (the “Performance Period”). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Bonus Plan, Awards
for certain Other Participants selected by the CEO or his delegates may also represent the opportunity to receive a Bonus for the
Performance Period.

 

Each Participant
will have a Target Bonus Amount for the Performance Period. As used herein and unless otherwise determined by the CEO for certain
Other Participants, “Target Bonus Amount” with respect to an Award means the amount obtained by multiplying
(i) the rate of regular base salary (without giving effect to any overtime compensation and based solely on a 40-hour work week)
payable to the Participant for the Performance Period as of the end of the Performance Period, by (ii) the Participant’s
target bonus opportunity, expressed as a percentage of such rate of base salary, as established by the Committee for Executive
Officers or by the CEO or his delegates for the Other Participants. If determined by the CEO for certain Other Participants at
a Grade Level 6 or below, “Target Bonus Amount” with respect to an Award shall mean the fixed target bonus amount established
by the CEO with respect to such Other Participant.

 

		3.	BONUS DETERMINATION

 

For each of
the CEO and the Corporation’s Chief Financial Officer, SVP Engineering and SVP Operations, 100% of the Target Bonus Amount
shall become payable based upon the Corporation’s performance during the Performance Period as determined pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 3.

 

For the Other
Participants, their Target Bonus Amount for the Performance Period shall become payable based upon any of (i) the Corporation’s
performance and/or (ii) the Other Participant’s business unit’s performance, in such percentages as determined by the
CEO or his delegates, and in each case as determined pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.

 

    1 

     

    

 

(a)           Corporation
Performance

 

The Corporation’s
performance shall be measured using the Corporation’s Non-GAAP Operating Profit (as defined below) for the Performance
Period. For Participants at a Grade Level 10 or higher, if the Corporation’s Non-GAAP Operating Profit achieved does
not meet or exceed 80% of the target level established by the Committee for the Performance Period (the “Non-GAAP
Operating Profit Target”), the amount of Bonus payable to a Participant with respect to the Corporation’s
performance (the “Corporation Performance Bonus Amount”) for the Performance Period will be zero. If the
Corporation’s Non-GAAP Operating Profit achieved meets or exceeds 80% of the Non-GAAP Operating Profit Target for the
Performance Period, the Corporation Performance Bonus Amount, if any, payable to such Participant for the Performance Period
will be determined by multiplying (i) the amount of the Participant’s Target Bonus Amount tied to the
Corporation’s performance, if any by (ii) the funding percentage as set forth in the following table:

 

	Non-GAAP Operating Profit Achieved 

(% of Target)	Corporation Performance Bonus Amount Funding Percentage (%)
	80%	60%
	90%	80%
	95%	95%
	100%	100%
	120%	120%

 

If the Corporation’s Non-GAAP
Operating Profit percentage achieved for the Performance Period is between the percentage levels listed in the table above, the
funding percentage shall be pro-rated on a straight-line basis between the closest two percentages listed in the table above. The
maximum funding percentage for the Performance Period shall be 120% and no additional Corporation Performance Bonus Amount shall
be paid for the Performance Period if the Corporation achieves Non-GAAP Operating Profit above 120% of the Non-GAAP Operating Profit
Target.

 

For Participants between a Grade
Level 7 and Grade Level 9, if the Corporation’s Non-GAAP Operating Profit achieved for the Performance Period does not meet
or exceed 50% of the Non-GAAP Operating Profit Target, the Corporation Performance Bonus Amount for the Performance Period will
be zero, and if the Corporation’s Non-GAAP Operating Profit achieved for the Performance Period meets or exceeds 50% of the
Non-GAAP Operating Profit Target for the Performance Period, the Corporation Performance Bonus Amount, if any, payable to such
Participant for the Performance Period will be determined by multiplying (i) the amount of the Participant’s Target Bonus
Amount tied to the Corporation’s performance, if any, by (ii) the funding percentage as set forth in the following table:

 

	Non-GAAP Operating Profit Achieved 

(% of Target)	Corporation Performance Bonus Amount Funding Percentage (%)
	50%	50%
	60%	60%
	70%	70%
	80%	80%
	90%	90%
	100%	100%
	110%	110%
	120%	120%

 

    2 

     

    

 

If the Corporation’s Non-GAAP
Operating Profit percentage achieved for the Performance Period is between the percentage levels listed in the table above, the
funding percentage shall be pro-rated on a straight-line basis between the closest two percentages listed in the table above. The
maximum funding percentage for the Performance Period shall be 120% and no additional Corporation Performance Bonus Amount shall
be paid for the Performance Period if the Corporation achieves a Non-GAAP Operating Profit above 120% of the Non-GAAP Operating
Profit Target.

 

For purposes of this Bonus Plan,
 “Non-GAAP Operating Profit” means the operating profit for the Performance Period, as determined under generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States, with adjustments approved by the Compensation Committee that are consistent
with the description included in the Corporation’s quarterly earnings news releases under the section “Use of Non-GAAP
Financial Measures” and the associated reconciliation schedules included in both the Corporation’s quarterly earnings
news releases and in the quarterly Board of Director meetings and Audit Committee calls. The adjusted items included in these reconciliations
generally include stock-based compensation expense; acquisition-related items including expenses incurred by or on behalf of the
Strategy Committee of the Board of Directors, including in connection with proposed acquisitions or divestitures; restructuring,
severance/separation, and transition charges; litigation expenses associated with any material arbitration or litigation matters,
gain or loss on the sale of assets; and other non-recurring operating net gains or losses and any other items consistent with the
description included in the Corporation’s quarterly earnings news releases under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial
Measures.

 

(b)           Business
Unit Performance.

 

In the case
of Other Participants, the CEO or his delegates shall determine the business unit performance goals for the Performance Period
for each Other Participant and shall communicate such goals to each Other Participant. At the end of the Performance Period, the
CEO or his delegates shall evaluate, or cause to be evaluated, the business unit performance of each Other Participant during the
Performance Period and shall determine the percentage by which the Other Participant achieved his or her business unit performance
goals for the Performance Period (the “Business Unit Performance Bonus Funding Percentage”). The Business Unit
Performance Bonus Funding Percentage may range from 0% to 120%. The amount of Bonus payable to each Other Participant with respect
to such Participant’s business unit performance during the Performance Period (the “Business Unit Performance Bonus
Amount”) shall be determined by multiplying (i) the amount of the Other Participant’s Target Bonus Amount tied
to the Other Participant’s business unit’s performance by (ii) the Business Unit Performance Bonus Funding Percentage.
For certain Other Participants, the CEO or his delegates may determine that the Business Unit Performance Bonus Funding Percentage
is 0% for the Performance Period if the Corporation’s Non-GAAP Operating Profit achieved does not meet or exceed 80% of the
Non-GAAP Operating Profit Target for the Performance Period, or if the Other Participant does not meet other individual performance
goals.

 

(d)           Bonus
Amount.

 

The amount of the Bonus payable
to a Participant for the Performance Period shall equal the sum of any applicable (i) Corporation Performance Bonus Amount and
(ii) Business Unit Performance Bonus Amount for the Performance Period.

 

		(e)	Bonus Certification; Payment.

 

For the Executive Officers,
as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of the Performance Period, the Administrator shall determine the Non-GAAP Operating
Profit achieved by the Corporation for the Performance Period and the amount of each Executive Officer’s Bonus payable pursuant
to this Bonus Plan. Any Bonuses becoming payable to the Executive Officers pursuant to this Bonus Plan shall be paid in cash as
soon as reasonably practicable following the determination of the Bonus pursuant to this Section 3(e), with all such Bonuses to
be paid no later than March 15, 2022.

 

For the Other
Participants, the CEO or his delegates shall determine the amount of each Participant’s Bonus payable pursuant to this
Bonus Plan for the Performance Period, provided that the payment of such Bonuses shall also be subject to the approval of the
Committee if determined to be appropriate by the Committee. Any Bonuses becoming payable to Other Participants pursuant to
this Bonus Plan shall be paid in cash as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of the Performance Period, with all
Bonuses to be paid no later than March 15, 2022.

be eligible to be selected as a Participant in this Bonus Plan for the Performance Period, any person whose employment with the
Corporation begins after commencement of the Performance Period must be employed by the Corporation on or prior to June 30, 2021.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Participant is selected to participate in this Bonus Plan after June 30, 2021, the Administrator
shall have the discretion to make appropriate pro-rata adjustments to the amount of the Participant’s Bonus based on the
number of complete months or days the Participant was employed by the Corporation during the Performance Period.

 

		5.	CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT REQUIREMENT

provided in a Participant’s employment agreement, severance benefits agreement, or similar agreement with the Corporation,
a Participant must remain in good standing and continuously employed by the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries through the
Bonus payment date in order for any Bonus to become payable pursuant to this Bonus Plan. Unless otherwise provided in a Participant’s
employment agreement, severance benefits agreement, or similar agreement with the Corporation, if a Participant terminates employment
with the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries for any reason prior to the Bonus payment date, all of the Participant’s
rights under this Bonus Plan will automatically terminate.

becoming payable pursuant to this Bonus Plan shall be subject to the terms of the Corporation’s recoupment, clawback or similar
policy as it may be in effect from time to time, as well as any similar provisions of applicable law, any of which could in certain
circumstances require repayment or forfeiture of the Bonuses or other cash or property received with respect to the Bonuses.
