      Ladies and Gentlemen:

       

      In connection with the proposed business combination (the “Transaction”) between AMCI Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),

        and Advent Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Target”), pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 12, 2020 (as amended by the First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger on October 19, 2020 (the
        “First Amendment”), and as it may further be amended, the “Transaction Agreement”), by and among, the Company, Target and certain other parties named therein, the Company is seeking commitments to purchase shares of the Company’s
        Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Purchase Price”), in a private placement to be conducted by the Company (the “Offering”).  In connection
        therewith, the undersigned subscriber (“Subscriber”) and the Company agree in this subscription agreement (this “Subscription Agreement”) as follows:

       

      1.          Subscription. 

          As of the date written above (the “Subscription Date”), the Subscriber hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company such number of shares of Common Stock as is set forth on the signature page of this
          Subscription Agreement (the “Shares”) at the Purchase Price per Share and on the terms provided for herein.

       

      2.          Closing; Delivery of
              Shares.

      

      

      (a)          The closing of the sale of Shares contemplated hereby (the “Closing”,
          and the date that the Closing actually occurs, the “Closing Date”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction (the “Transaction Closing”). The Closing shall occur on the date of, and immediately
          prior to, the Transaction Closing.

      

      

      (b)          The Company shall provide written notice (which may be via email) to the
          Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”) that the Company reasonably expects the Transaction Closing to occur on a date specified in the notice (the “Scheduled Closing Date”) that is not less than three (3) business days from the date of
          the Closing Notice, which Closing Notice shall contain the Company’s wire instructions for an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) established by the Company with a third party escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) to be identified in
          the Closing Notice.  At least two (2) business days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date (unless otherwise agreed to with the Company), the Subscriber shall deliver to the Escrow Account the aggregate Purchase Price for the Shares subscribed by
          wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds.  Upon the Closing, the Company shall provide instructions to the Escrow Agent to release the funds in the Escrow Account to the Company against delivery to the Subscriber of
          the Shares, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those arising under state or federal securities laws), in book-entry form as set forth in Section 2(c) below.  If this Subscription Agreement is
          terminated prior to the Closing and any funds have already been sent by the Subscriber to the Escrow Account, then promptly after such termination, the Company will instruct the Escrow Agent to promptly return such funds to the Subscriber.

      
        
          

      

      
      (c)          On the Closing Date, promptly after the Closing, the Company shall deliver (or
          cause the delivery of) the Shares in book-entry form with restrictive legends in the amount as set forth on the signature page to the Subscriber as indicated on the signature page or to a custodian designated by the Subscriber, as applicable, as
          indicated below.

      

      

      3.          Closing Conditions.

      (ii)          no applicable governmental authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated,

          restraining or prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and no governmental authority shall have instituted or threatened in writing a proceeding seeking to impose any such restraint or prohibition; and

          as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, which representations and warranties shall be true in all respects) as of such date), and consummation of the Closing, shall constitute a reaffirmation by the Subscriber of each of the

      4.          Company Representations
              and Warranties.  The Company represents and warrants to the Subscriber that:

       

      (a)          As of the date hereof, the Company is a corporation duly organized, validly
          existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.  Immediately following the Transaction Closing under the Transaction Agreement, the Company will be validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
          organization.  The Company has the corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted and to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement.

       

      (b)          The Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to the
          Subscriber against full payment therefor in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will not have been issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive or
          similar rights created under the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or under the laws of the State of Delaware.

       

      (c)          This Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered
          by the Company and is enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or
          affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

       

      (d)          The issuance and sale of the Shares and the compliance by the Company with all
          of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions herein will be done in accordance with the NASDAQ marketplace rules and will not conflict with or result in a material breach or material violation of any
          of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a material default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms
          of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, license, lease or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which
          any of the property or assets of the Company is subject, which would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial condition, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company (a “Material Adverse Effect”)

          or materially affect the validity of the Shares or the legal authority of the Company to comply in all material respects with the terms of this Subscription Agreement; (ii) result in any material violation of the provisions of the organizational
          documents of the Company; or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties
          that would have a Material Adverse Effect or materially affect the validity of the Shares or the legal authority of the Company to comply with this Subscription Agreement; subject, in the case of the foregoing clauses (i) and (iii) with respect
          to the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated.

       

      (e)          The Company has not entered into any agreement or arrangement entitling any
          agent, broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other person to any broker’s or finder’s fee or any other commission or similar fee in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement for which the Subscriber
          could become liable.  Other than Jefferies LLC and Fearnley Securities, Inc. (together with its affiliate Fearnley Securities AS) (collectively, the “Placement Agents”), the Company is not aware of any person that has been or will be paid
          (directly or indirectly) remuneration for solicitation of purchasers in connection with the sale of any shares of Common Stock in the Offering.

      (f)          The Company is not, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Shares,
          will not be, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

      

      

      (g)          Assuming the accuracy of the Subscriber’s representations and warranties set
          forth in Section 5, in connection with the offer, sale and delivery of the Shares in the manner contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, it is not necessary to register the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities

            Act”).

      

      

      (h)          The Company understands that the foregoing representations and warranties
          shall be deemed material to and have been relied upon by the Subscriber.

      

      

      5.          Subscriber
              Representations, Warranties and Covenants.  The Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company that:

       

      (a)          The Subscriber hereby represents and warrants to the Company that it is either
          a U.S. investor or non-U.S. investor as set forth under its name on the signature page hereto, and accordingly represents the applicable additional matters under clause (i) or (ii) below:

      

      

      (i)          Applicable to U.S. investors:  At the time the Subscriber was offered the
          Shares, it was, and as of the date hereof, the Subscriber is (A) a “qualified institutional buyer” (within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the
          Securities Act) as indicated in the questionnaire attached as Exhibit A hereto, and (B) is acquiring the Shares only for its own account and (C) not for the account of others, and not on behalf of any other account or person or with a
          view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act.  The Subscriber is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares.

      

      

      (ii)          Applicable to non-U.S. investors:  The Subscriber understands that the sale
          of the Securities is made pursuant to and in reliance upon Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”). The Subscriber is not a U.S. Person (as defined in Regulation S), it is acquiring the Securities in an offshore
          transaction in reliance on Regulation S, and it has received all the information that it considers necessary and appropriate to decide whether to acquire the Securities hereunder. The Subscriber is not relying on any statements or representations
          made in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby other than representations contained in this Subscription Agreement. The Subscriber understands and agrees that Securities sold pursuant to Regulation S may be subject to restrictions
          thereunder, including compliance with the distribution compliance period provisions therein.

       

      (b)          The Subscriber understands that the Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the
        Securities Act and that the Shares delivered at the Closing have not been registered under the Securities Act. The Subscriber understands that the Shares may not be resold, transferred, pledged (except in ordinary course prime brokerage
        relationships to the extent permitted by applicable law) or otherwise disposed of by the Subscriber absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act except (i) to the Company or a subsidiary thereof, (ii) to non-U.S. persons
        pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act or (iii) pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each of
        cases (i) and (iii) in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states and other jurisdictions of the United States, and that any certificates (if any) or any book-entry shares representing the Shares delivered at the Closing shall
        contain a legend or restrictive notation to such effect. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Shares will not be eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act.  The Subscriber understands and agrees that the Shares,
        until registered under an effective registration statement, will be subject to transfer restrictions and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, the Subscriber may not be able to readily resell the Shares and may be required to bear the
        financial risk of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time. The Subscriber understands that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of any of the Shares. 

      

      
        4

        
          

      

      (c)          The Subscriber understands and agrees that the Subscriber is purchasing Shares
          directly from the Company. The Subscriber further acknowledges that there have been no representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made to the Subscriber by the Company, or any of its officers or directors, expressly (other than those
          representations, warranties, covenants and agreements included in this Subscription Agreement) or by implication.

       

      (d)          The Subscriber’s acquisition and holding of the Shares will not constitute or
          result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any applicable similar law.

       

      (e)          The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Subscriber has received such
          information as the Subscriber deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Subscriber acknowledges that it has received and carefully reviewed the
          following items (collectively, the “Disclosure Documents”): (i) the final prospectus of the Company, dated as of November 15, 2018 and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (File No. 333-227994) on
          November 16, 2018 (the “Prospectus”), (ii) each filing made by the Company with the SEC following the filing of the Prospectus through the date of this Agreement, and (iii) the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on
          October 16, 2020 and October 20, 2020, which contain the Transaction Agreement (including the First Amendment) and key ancillary documents and the updated investor presentation by the Company and the Target.  The undersigned understands the
          significant extent to which certain of the disclosures contained in items (i) and (ii) above shall not apply following the Transaction Closing.  The Subscriber represents and agrees that the Subscriber and the Subscriber’s professional
          advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask the Company’s management questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as the Subscriber and such Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make
          an investment decision with respect to the Shares.  The Subscriber has conducted its own investigation of the Company, the Target and the Shares and the Subscriber has made its own assessment and have satisfied itself concerning the relevant tax
          and other economic considerations relevant to its investment in the Shares.  The Subscriber further acknowledges that the information contained in the Disclosure Documents is subject to change, and that any changes to the information contained in
          the Disclosure Documents, including any changes based on updated information or changes in terms of the Transaction, shall in no way affect the Subscriber’s obligation to purchase the Shares hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein.

       

      (f)          The Subscriber became aware of this Offering of the Shares solely by means of direct contact between the Subscriber and the Company, the
        Placement Agents or a representative of the Company or the Placement Agents, and the Shares were offered to the Subscriber solely by direct contact between the Subscriber and the Company, the Placement Agents or a representative of the Company or
        the Placement Agents.  The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company represents and warrants that the Shares (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a
        public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws.  The Subscriber has a substantive pre-existing relationship with the Company, Target or their respective affiliates or the Placement
        Agents for this Offering of the Shares. Neither the Subscriber, nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, stockholders or partners has either directly or indirectly, including through a broker or finder, (i) to its knowledge, engaged
        in any general solicitation, or (ii) published any advertisement in connection with the Offering. 

      

      
        5

        
          

      

      (g)          The Subscriber acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks
          incident to the purchase and ownership of the Shares, including those set forth in the Disclosure Documents and in the Company’s filings with the SEC.  The Subscriber is able to fend for itself in the transactions contemplated herein and has such
          knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, and the Subscriber has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Subscriber has considered
          necessary to make an informed investment decision.

       

      (h)          Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), the Subscriber has
          adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Shares and determined that the Shares are a suitable investment for the Subscriber and that the Subscriber is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the
          economic risk of a total loss of the Subscriber’s investment in the Company. The Subscriber acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

       

      (i)          In making its decision to purchase the Shares, the Subscriber has relied
          solely upon independent investigation made by the Subscriber and the representations and warranties of the Company set forth herein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Subscriber has not relied on any statements or other
          information provided by the Placement Agents concerning the Company, Target or the Shares or the offer and sale of the Shares.

      

      

      (j)          The Subscriber understands and agrees that no federal or state agency has
          passed upon or endorsed the merits of this Offering of the Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment or the accuracy or adequacy of the Company SEC Filings.

       

      (k)          The Subscriber has been duly formed or incorporated and is validly existing in
          good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation.

       

      (l)          The execution, delivery and performance by the Subscriber of this Subscription
          Agreement are within the powers of the Subscriber, have been duly authorized and will not constitute or result in a breach or default under or conflict with any federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Subscriber, any order,
          ruling or regulation of any court or other tribunal or of any governmental commission or agency, or any agreement or other undertaking, to which the Subscriber is a party or by which the Subscriber is bound, and, if the Subscriber is not an
          individual, will not violate any provisions of the Subscriber’s charter documents, including its incorporation or formation papers, bylaws, indenture of trust or partnership or operating agreement, as may be applicable. The signature on this
          Subscription Agreement is genuine, and the signatory, if the Subscriber is an individual, has legal competence and capacity to execute the same or, if the Subscriber is not an individual the signatory has been duly authorized to execute the same,
          and this Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Subscriber, enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance with its terms.

       

      (m)          Neither the due diligence investigation conducted by the Subscriber in
          connection with making its decision to acquire the Shares nor any representations and warranties made by the Subscriber herein shall modify, amend or affect the Subscriber’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Company’s
          representations and warranties contained herein.

       

      (n)          The Subscriber is not (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially
          Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC
            List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program, (ii) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, or (iii) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services
          indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank (collectively, a “Prohibited Investor”). The Subscriber agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that the Subscriber is
          permitted to do so under applicable law. If the Subscriber is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, and its implementing regulations (collectively, the
          “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), the Subscriber maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. To the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for
          the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List. To the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by the Subscriber and used to purchase the
          Shares were legally derived.

      
        6

        
          

      

      (o)          As of the date hereof and as of the date of the Closing, neither the
          Subscriber, nor, to the extent it has them, any of its Rule 506(d) Related Parties (collectively with the Subscriber, the “Covered Persons”), are subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d) under the
          Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3).  The Subscriber has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification
          Event.  The acquisition of Shares by the Subscriber will not subject the Company to any Disqualification Event.  “Rule 506(d) Related Parties” shall mean a person that is a beneficial owner of Subscriber’s securities for purposes of Rule
          506(d) under the Securities Act.

      

      

      (p)          No disclosure or offering document has been prepared by the Placement Agents
          in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares.  The Placement Agents and each of their respective members, directors, officers, employees, representatives and controlling persons have made no independent investigation with respect to the
          Company or the Shares or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of any information supplied to the Subscriber by the Company.  In connection with the issue and purchase of the Shares, the Placement Agents have not acted as the Subscriber’s
          financial advisor or fiduciary.

      

      

      (q)          The Subscriber acknowledges its obligations under applicable securities laws
          with respect to the treatment of non-public information relating to the Company.

       

      6.          Registration Rights.

      

      

      (a)          The Company agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days after the
          Transaction Closing, the Company will file with the SEC (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Shares (the “Registration Statement”), and the Company shall use its commercially
          reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day following the filing date (or the 90th calendar day if the SEC
          notifies the Company (orally or in writing) that it will “review” the Registration Statement) and (ii) the 10th business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be
          “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review.

      

      

      (b)          The Company agrees that the Company will cause such Registration Statement or
          another registration statement (which may be a “shelf” registration statement) to remain effective until the earlier of (i) two years from the issuance of the Shares, (ii) the date on which the Subscriber ceases to hold the Shares covered by such
          Registration Statement, or (iii) on the first date on which the Subscriber can sell all of its Shares (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such
          securities that may be sold.  The Subscriber agrees to disclose its beneficial ownership, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of the Shares to the Company (or
          its successor) upon request to assist the Company in making the determination described above. The Company’s obligations to include the Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Company
          such information regarding the Subscriber, the securities of the Company held by the Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Shares, and
          shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations.  If the SEC prevents the Company from including any or all of the Shares
          proposed to be registered for resale under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Company’s securities by the applicable shareholders or otherwise, (i) such Registration
          Statement shall register for resale such number of Company securities which is equal to the maximum number of Company securities as is permitted by the SEC and (ii) the number of Company securities to be registered for each selling shareholder
          named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders.  The Company will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to the Subscriber for review reasonably in advance of filing the Registration
          Statement.  In no event shall the Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the SEC; provided, that if the SEC requests that the Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in
          the Registration Statement, the Subscriber will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement.

      
        7

        
          

      

      (c)          The Company may delay filing or suspend the use of any such registration
          statement if it determines that in order for the registration statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, or if such filing or use could materially affect a bona fide business or financing
          transaction of the Company or would require premature disclosure of information that could materially adversely affect the Company (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, that the Company shall use commercially reasonable
          efforts to make such registration statement available for the sale by the Subscriber of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter.  Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any Suspension Event during the
          period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be
          stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, the Subscriber  agrees that it will (i) immediately discontinue offers and sales
          of the Shares under the Registration Statement until the Subscriber receives (A) (x) copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and (y) notice that any post-effective
          amendment has become effective or (B) notice from the Company that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by
          applicable law.  If so directed by the Company, the Subscriber will deliver to the Company or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares in the Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy
          all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares shall not apply to (i) the extent the Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (A) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional
          requirements or (B) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

      

      

      (d)          From and after the Closing, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold
          Subscriber, each person, if any, who controls Subscriber within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of Subscriber within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act,
          and each broker, placement agent or sales agent to or through which Subscriber effects or executes the resale of any Shares (collectively, the “Subscriber Indemnified Parties”), harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages and
          liabilities (including any out-of-pocket legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by the Subscriber Indemnified Parties directly
          that are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any other registration statement which covers the Shares (including, in each case, the prospectus contained therein)
          or any amendment thereof (including the prospectus contained therein) or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of
          the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading, except to the extent insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by Subscriber expressly for use therein. 
          Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Company’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be
          unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

      
        8

        
          

      

      (e)          From and after the Closing, the Subscriber agrees to, severally and not
          jointly with any other selling shareholders using the applicable registration statement, indemnify and hold the Company, and the officers, employees, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents of the Company, each person, if any, who
          controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act (collectively, the “Company
            Indemnified Parties”), harmless against any and all Losses incurred by the Company Indemnified Parties directly that are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement
          or any other registration statement which covers the Shares (including, in each case, the prospectus contained therein) or any amendment thereof (including the prospectus contained therein) or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state
          therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading, to the extent insofar as the same are caused by or contained in
          any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by Subscriber expressly for use therein.  Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Subscriber’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses
          if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

      

      

      7.          Termination.
          This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon
          the earlier to occur of:  (a) the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement; (b) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; or (c) written
          notice by either party to the other party to terminate this Subscription Agreement if the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated on or prior to February 22, 2021; provided
          that (i) nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising
          from such breach. The Company shall notify the Subscriber of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement and (ii) the provisions of Sections 7 through 10 of this Subscription Agreement
          will survive any termination of this Subscription Agreement and continue indefinitely.

       

      8.          Trust Account Waiver. 

          The Subscriber hereby represents and warrants that it has read the Prospectus and understands that the Company has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”)
          and the overallotment shares acquired by its underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders
          (including overallotment shares acquired by the Company’s underwriters, the “Public Stockholders”), and that, except as otherwise described in the Prospectus, the Company may disburse monies from the Trust Account only:  (a) to the Public
          Stockholders in the event they elect to redeem their Company shares in connection with the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination (as such term is used in the Prospectus) (the “Business Combination”) or in connection
          with an extension of its deadline to consummate a Business Combination, (b) to the Public Stockholders if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 18 months after the closing of the IPO, which has since been extended to
          February 22, 2021, and is subject to further extension by amendment to the Company’s organizational documents, (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, amounts necessary to pay for any taxes and up to
          $100,000 in dissolution expenses, or (d) to the Company after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination.  For and in consideration of the Company entering into this Subscription Agreement, and for other good and valuable
          consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Subscriber hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its affiliates that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, neither the Subscriber
          nor any of its affiliates do now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any
          distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Subscription Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between the Company or its
          Representatives, on the one hand, and the Subscriber or its Representatives, on the other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively,
          the “Released Claims”).  The Subscriber on behalf of itself and its affiliates hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that the Subscriber or any of its affiliates may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions
          therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with the Company or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for
          any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of this Subscription Agreement or any other agreement with the Company or its affiliates).  The Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this
          Subscription Agreement and specifically relied upon by the Company and its affiliates to induce the Company to enter in this Subscription Agreement, and the Subscriber further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and
          enforceable against the Subscriber and each of its affiliates under applicable law.  To the extent the Subscriber or any of its affiliates commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter
          relating to the Company or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against the Company or its Representatives, the Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Subscriber’s and its affiliates’ sole
          remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit the Subscriber or its affiliates (or any person claiming on any of their behalves or in lieu of any of them) to have any claim against the Trust
          Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein.  In the event the Subscriber or any of its affiliates commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter
          relating to the Company or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or the Public Stockholders, whether in the form of money damages or injunctive
          relief, the Company and its Representatives, as applicable, shall be entitled to recover from the Subscriber and its affiliates the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such action in the event the Company or its
          Representatives, as applicable, prevails in such action or proceeding.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8, shall not affect any rights of Subscriber or its affiliates as a Public Stockholder to receive distributions from the
          Trust Account in its capacity as a Public Stockholder.  For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Representatives” with respect to any person shall mean such person’s affiliates and its and its affiliate’s respective directors,
          officers, employees, consultants, advisors, agents and other representatives.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Subscription Agreement, the provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the Closing or any
          termination of this Subscription Agreement and last indefinitely.

      
        9

        
          

      

      9.          Miscellaneous.

       

      (a)          Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the
          Subscriber hereunder (other than the Shares acquired hereunder, if any, subject to applicable securities laws) may be transferred or assigned by the Subscriber without the prior written consent of the Company, and any purported transfer or
          assignment without such consent shall be null and void ab initio.

       

      (b)          The Company may request from the Subscriber such additional information as the
          Company may reasonably deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of the Subscriber to acquire the Shares, and the Subscriber shall provide such information to the Company as may be reasonably requested, it being understood by the Subscriber that
          the Company may without any liability hereunder reject the Subscriber’s subscription prior to the Closing Date in the event the Subscriber fails to provide such additional information requested by the Company to evaluate the Subscriber’s
          eligibility or the Company determines that the Subscriber is not eligible.

       

      (c)          The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company, the Placement Agents, the Target
          and others will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement as if they were made directly to them.  Prior to the Closing, the Subscriber agrees
          to promptly notify the Company if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties set forth herein are no longer accurate. The Subscriber agrees that the purchase by the Subscriber of Shares from the Company
          will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein (as modified by any such notice) by the Subscriber as of the time of such purchase.  The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees
          that each of the Placement Agents and the Target is a third-party beneficiary of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Subscriber contained in Section 5 of this Subscription Agreement, and that the Target is otherwise an express
          third party beneficiary of this Agreement, entitled to enforce the terms hereof against Subscriber as if it were an original party hereto.  Except as expressly set forth herein, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies
          upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successor and assigns.

      
        10

        
          

      

      (d)          The Company is entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and is
          irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby to the extent required by law or
          regulatory bodies or applicable stock exchange requirements.  The Subscriber shall not issue any press release or make any other similar public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of
          the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

       

      (e)          All the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto
          in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.

      

      

      (f)          This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified, waived or terminated
          except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such modification, waiver, or termination is sought.

       

      (g)          This Subscription Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes
          all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof (other than any confidentiality agreement entered into by the Company and the
          Subscriber in connection with the Offering).

      

      

      (h)          This Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of
          the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made
          by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

       

      (i)          If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or
          unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

       

      (j)          This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts
          (including by facsimile or electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed
          together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.

      
        11

        
          

      

      
      (k)          The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that
          any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent
          breaches of this Subscription Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or
          otherwise.

       

      (l)          THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT SHALL BE
          GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER STATE. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES
          ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LITIGATION PURSUANT TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

      

      

      (m)          All notices, consents, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in
          writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when delivered in person, (ii) when delivered by facsimile or email, with affirmative confirmation of receipt, (iii) one business day after being sent, if sent by reputable, internationally
          recognized overnight courier service or (iv) three (3) business days after being mailed, if sent by registered or certified mail, prepaid and return receipt requested, in each case to the applicable party at the following addresses (or at such
          other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice):

      (n)          The headings set forth in this Subscription Agreement are for convenience of
          reference only and shall not be used in interpreting this Subscription Agreement.  In this Subscription Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (i) whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Subscription Agreement shall
          include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa; (ii) “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting
          the generality of any description preceding or succeeding such term and shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”; and (iii) the words “herein”, “hereto” and “hereby” and other words of similar import in this
          Subscription Agreement shall be deemed in each case to refer to this Subscription Agreement as a whole and not to any particular portion of this Subscription Agreement.  As used in this Subscription Agreement, the term:  (x) “business day” shall
          mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday on which commercial banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized to close for business (excluding as a result of “stay at home”, “shelter-in-place”, “non-essential
          employee” or any other similar orders or restrictions or the closure of any physical branch locations at the direction of any governmental authority so long as the electronic funds transfer systems, including for wire transfers, of commercially
          banking institutions in New York, New York are generally open for use by customers on such day); (y) “person” shall refer to any individual, corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company or other entity or association, including any
          governmental or regulatory body, whether acting in an individual, fiduciary or any other capacity; and (z) “affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any specified person, any other person or group of persons acting together that, directly or
          indirectly, through one or more intermediaries controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such specified person (where the term “control” (and any correlative terms) means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct
          or cause the direction of the management and policies of such person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise).  For the avoidance of doubt, any reference in this Subscription Agreement to an affiliate of the
          Company will include the Company’s sponsor, AMCI Sponsor, LLC.

      

      

      (o)          At Closing, the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional
          documents and take such additional actions as the parties may reasonably deem practical and necessary in order to consummate the Offering as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

      

      

      10.          Non-Reliance and
              Exculpation. The Subscriber acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person other than the statements, representations and warranties contained in this
          Subscription Agreement in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company.  The Subscriber agrees that neither (i) any other purchaser pursuant to other subscription agreements entered into in connection with the Offering (including
          the controlling persons, members, officers, directors, partners, agents, or employees of any such other purchaser) nor (ii) the Placement Agents, their respective affiliates or any of their or their affiliates’ respective control persons,
          officers, directors or employees, shall be liable to the Subscriber pursuant to this Subscription Agreement for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Shares.  The
          Subscriber acknowledges that neither the Placement Agents, nor their respective Representatives (a) shall be liable to the Subscriber for any improper payment made in accordance with the information provided by the Company; (b) makes any
          representation or warranty, or has any responsibilities as to the validity, accuracy, value or genuineness of any information, certificates or documentation delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement or the Transaction
          Agreement (together with any related documents, the “Transaction Documents”); or (c) shall be liable to the Subscriber (x) for any action taken, suffered or omitted by any of them in good faith and reasonably believed to be authorized or
          within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement or any Transaction Document or (y) for anything which any of them may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction Document, except for
          their gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

      

      

      11.          Cutback. 
          Notwithstanding anything contrary herein, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to reduce the number of Shares to be issued to the Subscriber pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, as long as the Company is reducing the
          number of shares to be issued and sold to all investors pursuant to the other subscription agreements, on a pro rata basis.  The Company or the Placement Agents shall notify the Subscriber in writing at least two (2) business days in advance of
          Closing if the Company elects to reduce the number of Shares to be issued and sold to the Subscriber pursuant to this Section 11.

      Exhibit A

      Accredited Investor Questionnaire

      

      

      Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Exhibit A shall have the meanings given in the Subscription Agreement to which this Exhibit A is attached.

      

      

      The undersigned represents and warrants that the undersigned is an “accredited investor” (an “Accredited Investor”) as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of
        Regulation D under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for one or more of the reasons specified below (please check all
        boxes that apply):

      
        

        

        
          	
                  _______  (i)

                	
                  A natural person whose net worth, either individually or jointly with such person’s spouse or spousal equivalent, at the time of the Subscriber’s purchase,
                    exceeds $1,000,000;

                

        

         

        

        The term “net worth” means the excess of total assets over total liabilities (including personal and real property, but excluding the estimated fair market value of the Subscriber’s
          primary home).  For the purposes of calculating joint net worth with the person’s spouse or spousal equivalent, joint net worth can be the aggregate net worth of the Subscriber and spouse or spousal equivalent; assets need not be held jointly to
          be included in the calculation.  There is no requirement that securities be purchased jointly.  A spousal equivalent means a cohabitant occupying a relationship generally equivalent to a spouse.

         

        

        
          	
                  _______  (ii)

                	
                  A natural person who had an individual income in excess of $200,000, or joint income with the Subscriber’s spouse or spousal equivalent in excess of $300,000,
                    in each of the two most recent years and reasonably expects to reach the same income level in the current year;

                

        

         

        

        In determining individual “income,” the Subscriber should add to the Subscriber’s individual taxable adjusted gross income (exclusive of any spousal or spousal equivalent income) any amounts
          attributable to tax exempt income received, losses claimed as a limited partner in any limited partnership, deductions claimed for depletion, contributions to an IRA or Keogh retirement plan, alimony payments, and any amount by which income from
          long-term capital gains has been reduced in arriving at adjusted gross income.

         

        

        
          	
                  _______  (iii)

                	
                  A director or executive officer of the Company;

                

           

          

        

        
          	
                  _______  (iv)

                	
                  A natural person holding in good standing with one or more professional certifications or designations or other credentials from an accredited educational
                    institution that the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has designated as qualifying an individual for accredited investor status;

                

        

         

        

        The SEC has designated the General Securities Representative license (Series 7), the Private Securities Offering Representative license (Series 82) and the Licensed Investment Adviser
          Representative (Series 65) as the initial certifications that qualify for accredited investor status.

         

        

        
          
            	
                    _______  (v)

                  	
                    A natural person who is a “knowledgeable employee” as defined in Rule 3c-5(a)(4) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”),

                      of the Investment Company Act;

                  

          

        

      

      
        
          
            

        

      

      
        
          
            	
                    _______  (vi)

                  	
                    A bank as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act, or any savings and loan association or other institution as defined in Section 3(a)(5)(A) of the
                      Securities Act, whether acting in its individual or fiduciary capacity;

                    _______  (viii)

Each Unit (“Unit”) consists of one

share (subject to adjustment) for $11.50 per share (subject to adjustment). Only whole Warrants are exercisable. Each Warrant will

asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses (each a “Business
Combination”), and (ii) twelve (12) months from the closing of the Company’s initial public offering, and will
expire unless exercised before 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on the date that is five (5) years after the date on which the Company

comprising the Units represented by this certificate will begin separate trading on the 52nd day following the date of the prospectus
that is filed in connection with the offering of the Units (or, if such date is not a business day, the following business day)
unless Citigroup Global Markets Inc. elects to allow earlier separate trading, subject to the Company’s filing of a Current
Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission containing an audited balance sheet reflecting the Company’s
receipt of the gross proceeds of its initial public offering and issuing a press release announcing when separate trading will
begin. No fractional Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units. The terms of the Warrants are governed by a Warrant
Agreement, dated as of [·], 2021, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer

the holder of this certificate consents to by acceptance hereof. Copies of the Warrant Agreement are on file at the office of the
Warrant Agent at One State Street, 30th Floor, New York, New York 10004, and are available to any Warrant holder on written request
