merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their

Warrants shall have been reserved for issuance. Upon issuance in accordance with, and payment pursuant to, the terms hereof and
the Warrant Agreement, and upon registration in the Company’s register of members, each Purchaser will have good title to
the Private Placement Units purchased by it, and the Private Placement Warrants and Shares included in the Private Placement Units,

Section
3. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. As a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement

and Requisite Authority. Each Purchaser possesses all requisite power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions

B.              Authorization;
No Breach.

 

(i)  This Agreement
constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting
creditors’ rights and to general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or law).

 

(ii) The execution

does not and shall not (a) conflict with or result in a breach by such Purchaser of the terms, conditions or provisions of, (b)

or any material law, statute, rule or regulation to which the Purchaser is subject, or any agreement, instrument, order, judgment
or decree to which the Purchaser is subject, except for any filings required after the date hereof under federal or state securities
laws.

 

C.              Investment
Representations.

 

(i)  Such Purchaser
is acquiring the Private Placement Units, the Shares and Private Placement Warrants included in the Private Placement Units and,
upon exercise of such Private Placement Warrants, the Shares issuable upon such exercise (collectively, the “Securities”)
for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, any public sale
or distribution thereof.

 

(ii) Such Purchaser
is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D under the Securities
Act, and the Purchaser has not experienced a disqualifying event as enumerated pursuant to Rule 506(d) of Regulation D under the
Securities Act.

 

(iii) Such Purchaser
understands that the Securities are being offered and will be sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration
requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy
of, and such Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations and warranties of such Purchaser set forth herein in order
to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire such Securities.

 

(iv) Such Purchaser
did not decide to enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of
Rule 502(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

 

(v) Such Purchaser
has been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to
the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by such Purchaser. Such Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity
to ask questions of the executive officers and directors of the Company. The Purchaser understands that its investment in the Securities
involves a high degree of risk and it has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an
informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of the Securities.

 

(vi) Such Purchaser
understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made
any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities by such
Purchaser nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.

 

    	 	 	 3/9

     

    

 

(vii) Such Purchaser
understands that: (a) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities
laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (1) subsequently registered thereunder or (2) sold
in reliance on an exemption therefrom; and (b) except as specifically set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, neither the
Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities
laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. In this regard, such Purchaser understands that the
SEC has taken the position that promoters or affiliates of a blank check company and their transferees, both before and after an
initial Business Combination, are deemed to be “underwriters” under the Securities Act when reselling
the securities of a blank check company. Based on that position, Rule 144 adopted pursuant to the Securities Act would not be available
for resale transactions of the Securities despite technical compliance with the requirements of such Rule, and the Securities can
be resold only through a registered offering or in reliance upon another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act.

 

(viii) Such Purchaser
has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, knowledge of the high degree of risk associated with investments
in the securities of companies in the development stage such as the Company, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an
investment in the Securities and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities in the amount contemplated
hereunder for an indefinite period of time. Such Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current financial needs and
contingencies and will have no current or anticipated future needs for liquidity which would be jeopardized by the investment in
the Securities. Such Purchaser can afford a complete loss of its investments in the Securities.

 

(ix) Such Purchaser
understands that the Private Placement Units and the Shares included in the Private Placement Units shall bear the following legend
and appropriate “stop transfer restrictions”:

 

“THE SECURITIES
REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES
LAWS, AND NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT
PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND
SUCH LAWS WHICH, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL, IS AVAILABLE. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO LOCKUP
PROVISIONS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF DURING THE TERM OF THE LOCKUP.”

 

(x) Such Purchaser
understands that the Private Placement Warrants shall bear the legend substantially in the form set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

    	 	 	 4/9

contemplated by this Agreement or the Warrant Agreement.

Section
9. Rescission Right Waiver and Indemnification.

 

A.            
No General Solicitation. Purchaser understands and acknowledges an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act requires there be no general solicitation of purchasers of the Securities. In this regard, if the IPO were deemed to be a general
solicitation with respect to the Securities, the offer and sale of such Securities may not be exempt from registration and, if
not, Purchaser may have a right to rescind its purchase of the Securities. In order to facilitate the completion of the Offering
and in order to protect the Company, its shareholders and the amounts in the Trust Account from claims that may adversely affect
the Company or the interests of its shareholders, Purchaser hereby agrees to waive, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable
law, any claims, right to sue or rights in law or arbitration, as the case may be, to seek rescission of its purchase of the Securities.
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees this waiver is being made in order to induce the Company to sell the Warrants to Purchaser. Purchaser
agrees the foregoing waiver of rescission rights shall apply to any and all known or unknown actions, causes of action, suits,
claims or proceedings (collectively, “Claims”) and related losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages,
whether compensatory, consequential or exemplary, and expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ and
expert witness fees and disbursements and all other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against
any Claims, whether pending or threatened, in connection with any present or future actual or asserted right to rescind the purchase
of the Warrants hereunder or relating to the purchase of the Warrants and the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

B.            
No Recourse Against Trust Account. Purchaser agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever
in connection with its purchase of the Warrants or any Claim that may arise now or in the future.

 

C.             
Third Party Beneficiaries. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the shareholders of the Company are and shall be third-party
beneficiaries of this Section 9.

 

    	 	 	 5/9

     

    

 

D.            
Survival of Waiver. Purchaser agrees that to the extent any waiver of rights under this Section 9 is ineffective as a matter
of law, Purchaser has offered such waiver for the benefit of the Company as an equitable right that shall survive any statutory
disqualification or bar that applies to a legal right. Purchaser acknowledges the receipt and sufficiency of consideration received
from the Company hereunder in this regard.

 

Section 10. Miscellaneous.

 

E.             
Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all covenants and agreements contained in
this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors of
the parties hereto whether so expressed or not. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the parties may
not assign this Agreement, other than assignments by the Purchaser to affiliates thereof (including, without limitation one or
more of its members).

 

F.            
Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective
and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable
law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder
of this Agreement.

 

G.            
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, none of which need contain the
signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. A signed
copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same
legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.

 

H.             Descriptive
Headings; Interpretation. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute
a substantive part of this Agreement. The use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example
rather than by limitation.

 

I.              
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of New York and for
all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts
of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

 

J.              
Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument
executed by all parties hereto.

 Twist Investment Corporation 

9440 Santa Monica Blvd 
 Suite 301 

Beverly Hills, CA 90210 
 Re: Initial Public Offering 

Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 This letter (this “Letter
Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) to be entered into by and between Twist Investment Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as representative (the “Representative”) of the underwriters (collectively, the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten
initial public offering (the “Public Offering”), of 20,125,000 of the Company’s units (including up to 2,625,000 units that may be purchased to cover over-allotments, if any) (the “Units”), each
comprised of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and one-third of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant
(each, a “Warrant”) entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units shall be sold in the Public Offering pursuant to a registration statement
on Form S-1 and prospectus (the “Prospectus”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and the Company shall apply to
have the Units listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 11 hereof. 
 In order to induce the
Company and the Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the Public Offering and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Twist Capital Investment
Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and each of the undersigned individuals, each of whom is a director or member of the Company’s board of directors and/or management team (each, an
“Insider” and collectively, the “Insiders”), hereby agrees with the Company as follows: 
 1. It is
acknowledged and agreed that the Company shall not enter into a definitive agreement regarding a proposed Business Combination without the prior consent of the Sponsor. The Sponsor and each Insider agrees with the Company that if the Company seeks
stockholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, then in connection with such proposed Business Combination, it, he or she shall (i) vote any shares of Capital Stock owned by it, him or her in favor of any proposed Business Combination
and (ii) not redeem any shares of Capital Stock owned by it, him or her in connection with such stockholder approval. 
 2. The Sponsor and each
Insider hereby agrees with the Company that in the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, or such later period approved by the Company’s stockholders in
accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the Sponsor and each Insider shall take all reasonable steps to cause the Company to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up,
(ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the Common Stock sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering (the “Offering
Shares”), at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not
previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish all Public Stockholders’
rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and
the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of other applicable law. The Sponsor and each Insider
agrees to not propose any amendment (i) to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of 

 
the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete a
Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering or (ii) with respect to any other provision of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides its Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of Common Stock upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to
pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares. 
 The Sponsor and each Insider acknowledges that it, he or she has no right,
title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or any other asset of the Company as a result of any liquidation of the Company with respect to the Founder Shares held by it, him or her. The Sponsor and each
Insider hereby further waives, with respect to any shares of Common Stock held by it, him or her, if any, any redemption rights it, he or she may have in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, including, without limitation, any
such rights available in the context of a stockholder vote to approve such Business Combination or in the context of a tender offer made by the Company to purchase shares of Common Stock (although the Sponsor and the Insiders and their respective
affiliates shall be entitled to redemption and liquidation rights with respect to any Offering Shares they hold if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24 months from the date of the closing of the Public Offering). The
Sponsor and each Insider hereby further waives, with respect to any shares of Common Stock held by it, him or her, if any, any redemption rights it, he or she may have in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the
Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of
the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity. 
 3. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in 7(a) and (b) below, during the
period commencing on the effective date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 180 days after such date, the Sponsor and each Insider shall not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or
agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within
the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, with respect to any Units,
shares of Common Stock, Founder Shares, Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock owned by it, him or her, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another,
in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Units, shares of Common Stock, Founder Shares, Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock owned by it, him or
her, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction, including the filing of a registration statement, specified in clause
(i) or (ii). The provisions of this paragraph will not apply (i) to the transfer of Founder Shares to any independent director appointed or elected to the Company’s board of directors after the Public Offering or (ii) if the
release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and, in each case the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Letter Agreement to the extent and for the duration that such
terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer. In addition, the provisions of this paragraph will not in any way limit the ability of the Sponsor to enter into agreements with employees of the Sponsor or any of its affiliates or employees of
Twist Capital LLC or any of its affiliates relating to the transfer of direct or indirect interests in the Founder Shares to such persons, provided that such transfer is not effected until the expiration of the Founder Shares Lock-Up Period (as defined below), or admitting such persons as members of the Sponsor, as long as, to the extent any reporting obligation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act is triggered as a result of such
agreements, any related filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act includes a practical explanation as to the nature of such agreement. 
 4. In the
event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, the Sponsor (which for purposes of clarification shall not extend to any other shareholders, members or managers of the Sponsor) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any and all
loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any 

 
litigation, whether pending or threatened, or any claim whatsoever) to which the Company may become subject as a result of any claim by (i) any third party for services rendered (other than
the Company’s independent public accountants) or products sold to the Company or (ii) a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement (a “Target”);
provided, however, that such indemnification of the Company by the Sponsor shall apply only to the extent necessary to ensure that such claims by a third party for services rendered (other than the Company’s independent public
accountants) or products sold to the Company or a Target do not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per Offering Share or (ii) such lesser amount per Offering Share held in the Trust Account due to reductions in
the value of the trust assets as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, in each case, net of the amount of interest earned on the property in the Trust Account which may be withdrawn to pay its taxes, except as to any claims by a third
party (including a Target) who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In the event that any such executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against such third party, the Sponsor shall not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Sponsor
shall have the right to defend against any such claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Company if, within 15 days following written receipt of notice of the claim to the Sponsor, the Sponsor notifies the Company in writing
that it shall undertake such defense. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Company’s officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties, including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target
businesses. 
 5. To the extent that the Underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 2,625,000 Units within 45
days from the date of the Prospectus (and as further described in the Prospectus), the Sponsor agrees to forfeit, at no cost, a number of Founder Shares in the aggregate equal to 656,250 multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is
2,625,000 minus the number of Units purchased by the Underwriters upon the exercise of their over-allotment option, and (ii) the denominator of which is 2,625,000. The forfeiture will be adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment option is
not exercised in full by the Underwriters so that the number of Founder Shares will equal an aggregate of 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Capital Stock after the Public Offering. To the extent that the size of the Public Offering
is increased or decreased, the Company will effect a stock dividend, share contribution back to capital or other appropriate mechanism, as applicable, with respect to the Founder Shares immediately prior to the consummation of the Public Offering in
such amount as to maintain the number of Founder Shares prior to the Public Offering at 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Capital Stock of the Public Offering. In connection with such increase or decrease in the size of the Public
Offering, then (A) the references to 2,625,000 in the numerator and denominator of the formula in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be changed to a number equal to 15% of the number of shares included in the Units issued in the Public
Offering and (B) the reference to 656,250 in the formula set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be adjusted to such number of Founder Shares that the Sponsor would have to return to the Company in order for the number of Founder
Shares to equal an aggregate of 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Capital Stock after the Public Offering. 
 6. The Sponsor and each
Insider hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (i) the Underwriters and the Company would be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by such Sponsor or Insider of its, his or her obligations under paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7(a), 7(b), and 9
of this Letter Agreement (ii) monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for such breach and (iii) the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy
that such party may have in law or in equity, in the event of such breach. 
 7. (a) The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it, he or she shall not
Transfer any Founder Shares (or shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) until the earliest to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination; (B) subsequent to the
Company’s initial Business Combination, if the last reported sale price of the shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20
trading days with any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Company’s initial Business Combination; and (C) the date following the completion of the Company’s initial
Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s Public Stockholders having the right to exchange
their share of common stock for cash, securities or other property (the “Founder Shares Lock-up Period”). 

 (b) The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it, he or she shall not Transfer any Private Placement Warrants
(or shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion of the Private Placement Warrants), until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination (the “Private Placement Warrants Lock-up Period”, together with the Founder Shares Lock-up Period, the “Lock-up Periods”). 

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraphs 7(a) and (b), Transfers of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and shares of Common
Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Private Placement Warrants or the Founder Shares and that are held by the Sponsor, Insider or any of their permitted transferees (that have complied with this paragraph 7(c)), are
permitted (a) to the Company’s officers, directors or employees, any affiliates or family members of any of the Company’s officers, directors or employees, any members or employees of the Sponsor, or any affiliates of the Sponsor;
(b) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family or an affiliate of such person, or to a charitable
organization; (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (d) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (e) by private sales or
transfers made in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the securities were originally purchased; (f) in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to the completion of an
initial Business Combination; (g) by virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware or the Sponsor’s limited liability company agreement upon dissolution of the Sponsor; and (h) in the event of the Company’s liquidation, merger,
capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the completion
of the Company’s initial Business Combination; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) through (e), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by the restrictions herein. 

8. The Sponsor and each Insider represents and warrants that it, he or she has never been suspended or expelled from membership in any securities or
commodities exchange or association or had a securities or commodities license or registration denied, suspended or revoked. Each Insider’s biographical information furnished to the Company (including any such information included in the
Prospectus) is true and accurate in all respects and does not omit any material information with respect to such Insider’s background. The Sponsor’s and each Insider’s questionnaire furnished to the Company is true and accurate in all
respects. The Sponsor and each Insider represents and warrants that: it, he or she is not subject to or a respondent in any legal action for, any injunction,
cease-and-desist order or order or stipulation to desist or refrain from any act or practice relating to the offering of securities in any jurisdiction; it, he or she
has never been convicted of, or pleaded guilty to, any crime (i) involving fraud, (ii) relating to any financial transaction or handling of funds of another person, or (iii) pertaining to any dealings in any securities and it, he or
she is not currently a defendant in any such criminal proceeding. 
 9. Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, neither the Sponsor nor any Insider nor any
affiliate of the Sponsor or any Insider, shall receive from the Company any finder’s fee, reimbursement, consulting fee, monies in respect of any repayment of a loan or other compensation prior to, or in connection with any services rendered in
order to effectuate the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is), other than the following, none of which will be made from the proceeds held in the Trust Account prior to the
completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination: repayment of a loan and advances of up to an aggregate of $300,000 made to the Company by the Sponsor to cover offering-related and organizational expenses; payment to an affiliate of
the Sponsor for office space, administrative and support services for a total of $14,583.33 per month; reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses related to
identifying, investigating and consummating an initial Business Combination; and repayment of loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined by the Company from time to time, made by the Sponsor or any of the Company’s officers or
directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, provided, that, if the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination, a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account
may be used by the Company to repay such loaned amounts so long as no proceeds from the Trust Account are used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of
$1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. 

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

11. As used herein, (i) “Business Combination” shall mean a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase,
reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Company and one or more businesses; (ii) “Capital Stock” shall mean, collectively, the Common Stock and the Founder Shares; (iii) “Founder
Shares” shall mean the 5,031,250 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (up to 656,250 of which are subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the over-allotment option is not
exercised by the Underwriters); (iv) “Private Placement Warrants” shall mean the Warrants to purchase up to 3,290,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company (or 3,640,000 shares of Common Stock if the over-allotment
option is exercised in full) that the Sponsor has agreed to purchase for an aggregate purchase price of $4,935,000 in the aggregate (or $5,460,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full), or $1.50 per Warrant, in a private placement that
shall occur simultaneously with the consummation of the Public Offering; (v) “Public Stockholders” shall mean the holders of securities issued in the Public Offering; (vi) “Trust Account”
shall mean the trust fund into which a portion of the net proceeds of the Public Offering shall be deposited; and (vii) “Transfer” shall mean the (a) sale of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell, hypothecate,
pledge, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agreement to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establishment or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease of a call equivalent position
within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to, any security, (b) entry into any swap or other arrangement that
transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (c) public announcement of any
intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (a) or (b). 
 12. This Letter Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of
the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or
the transactions contemplated hereby. This Letter Agreement may not be changed, amended, modified or waived (other than to correct a typographical error) as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto.

 13. No party hereto may assign either this Letter Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent
of the other party. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee. This Letter Agreement shall be binding on the
Sponsor and each Insider and their respective successors, heirs and assigns and permitted transferees. 
 14. This Letter Agreement shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. The parties hereto (i) all
agree that any action, proceeding, claim or dispute arising out of, or relating in any way to, this Letter Agreement shall be brought and enforced in the courts of New York City, in the State of New York, and irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction
and venue, which jurisdiction and venue shall be exclusive and (ii) waive any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and venue or that such courts represent an inconvenient forum. 

15. Any notice, consent or request to be given in connection with any of the terms or provisions of this Letter Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
sent by express mail or similar private courier service, by certified mail (return receipt requested), by hand delivery or facsimile transmission. 
 16.
This Letter Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Lock-up Periods and (ii) the liquidation of the Company; provided, however, that this Letter Agreement shall earlier
terminate in the event that the Public Offering is not consummated and closed by [•], 2021; provided further that paragraph 4 of this Letter Agreement shall survive such liquidation.
