AGREEMENT

1. Sale and Purchase.

(a) Forward Purchase Shares.

(i) The Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company the Forward Purchase Shares, in accordance with clause 1(a)(ii), for $10.00 per Forward Purchase Share, or an aggregate of $25,000,000.

(ii) The Forward Purchase Shares shall be issued and sold by the Company and purchased by the Purchaser as follows:

(A) At least seven (7) days prior to any vote of the Company’s board of directors to approve a definitive agreement (a “Definitive Agreement”) for a Business Combination with a specific target business (a “Target”), written notice (the “Transaction Notification”) shall be delivered by the Company to the Purchaser (such date of delivery, the “Notice Date”) of the Company’s intention to hold such a board vote. Such Transaction Notification shall set forth the material terms and such other information as may be reasonably necessary for the Purchaser to evaluate the terms of such Business Combination.

(B) The Purchaser shall have until five (5) days after the Notice Date (such date five (5) days after the Notice Date, the “Notification Deadline”) to deliver written notice to the Company, which written notice shall state either (i) it desires to purchase hereunder the Forward Purchase Shares (a “Purchase Notice”) or (ii) that it has decided not to purchase the Forward Purchase Shares for any reason (an “Excusal Notice”).

(C) If the Purchaser fails to deliver either a Purchase Notice or an Excusal Notice by the Notification Deadline, the Purchaser shall be excused from its obligation to purchase the Forward Purchase Shares in connection with a specific Business Combination. After the Notification Deadline, the Company will no longer have any obligation to accept a Purchase Notice form the Purchaser or sell the Forward Purchase Shares to the Purchaser with respect to a Business Combination with such Target and after the execution of the Definitive Agreement, any rights of any party related to any change in the condition of the Target’s business will be set forth in and controlled by the Definitive Agreement between the Company and the Target. Each Purchase Notice shall constitute an irrevocable undertaking and agreement by the Purchaser to purchase the Forward Purchase Shares at the Forward Closing (as defined below).

(iii) If the Purchaser delivers a Purchase Notice as set forth in Section 1(a)(ii), the Company shall require the Purchaser to purchase the Forward Purchase Shares by delivering notice to the Purchaser (the “Closing Notice”), at least two (2) Business Days before the Business Combination Closing, specifying the date of the Business Combination Closing, the aggregate Forward Purchase Price and instructions for wiring the Forward Purchase Price. The closing of the sale of Forward Purchase Shares (the “Forward Closing”) shall be on the same date and immediately prior to the Business Combination Closing (such date and time being referred to as the “Forward Closing Date”). At the Forward Closing, the Company will issue to the Purchaser the Forward Purchase Shares, each registered in the name of the Purchaser, against delivery of the Forward Purchase Price in cash via wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company in the Closing Notice.

(iv) The Purchaser acknowledges and understands that in order to receive information possessed by the Company related to such Targets, the Purchaser will be required to enter into or be joined to confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements on customary and reasonable terms with such Targets restricting the use and disclosure of such information, and that, under certain circumstances, the Purchaser may come into possession of material, nonpublic information regarding a publicly traded company, including the Company.

(v) For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law or regulation to close in the City of New York, New York.

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN VIOLATION OF SUCH ACT AND LAWS. THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION, OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN FORWARD PURCHASE AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG THE HOLDER AND THE COMPANY. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER OF THE COMPANY.”

(b) Authorization. The Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Purchaser, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, or (iii) to the extent the indemnification provisions contained in the Registration Rights (as defined below) may be limited by applicable federal or state securities laws.

(c) Governmental Consents and Filings. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority is required on the part of the Purchaser in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Compliance with Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in any violation or default (i) of any provisions of its organizational documents, (ii) of any instrument, judgment, order, writ or decree to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (iii) under any note, indenture or mortgage to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (iv) under any lease, agreement, contract or purchase order to which it is a party or by which it is bound or (v) of any provision of federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Purchaser, in each case (other than clause (i)), which would have a material adverse effect on the Purchaser or its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with the Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser’s representation to the Company, which by the Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby confirms, that the Forward Purchase Shares to be acquired by the Purchaser will be acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of any state or federal securities laws, and that the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of law. By executing this Agreement, the Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to any of the Forward Purchase Shares.

(g) Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands that the offer and sale of the Forward Purchase Shares to the Purchaser has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. The Purchaser understands that the Forward Purchase Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Purchaser must hold the Forward Purchase Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the SEC and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Forward Purchase Shares, or any shares of Common Stock for which they may be exercised, for resale, except as provided herein (the “Registration Rights”). The Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Forward Purchase Shares, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has confidentially submitted the Registration Statement for its proposed IPO. The Purchaser understands that the offering of Forward Purchase Shares and transactions contemplated hereunder are not and are not intended to be part of the IPO, and that the Purchaser will not be able to rely on the protection of Section 11 of the Securities Act.

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

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

(l) No General Solicitation. Neither the Purchaser, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders or partners has either directly or indirectly, including, through a broker or finder (i) engaged in any general solicitation, or (ii) published any advertisement in connection with the offer and sale of the Forward Purchase Shares.

(b) Indemnification.

(i) The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser (to the extent a seller under the Forward Registration Statement), the officers, directors, agents, partners, members, managers, stockholders, affiliates, employees and investment advisers of the Purchaser, each person who controls the Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, stockholders, agents, affiliates, employees and investment advisers of each such controlling person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (A) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Forward Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Forward Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (B) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 4, except to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based solely upon information regarding the Purchaser furnished in writing to the Company by the Purchaser expressly for use therein. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Purchaser. The Company shall notify the Purchaser promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 4 of which the Company is aware.

(ii) The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or that are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Forward Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Forward Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding the Purchaser furnished in writing to the Company by the Purchaser expressly for use therein.

(c) Transfer. The rights, duties and obligations of the Purchaser under this Section 4 may be assigned or delegated by the Purchaser in conjunction with and to the extent of any permitted transfer or assignment of Registrable Securities by the Purchaser to any transferee or assignee pursuant to Section 9(f).

5. Additional Agreements and Acknowledgements of the Purchaser.

(a) At-Risk Capital. In connection with the IPO Closing, the Purchaser shall enter into a purchase agreement with the same terms as that entered into by DD3 Sponsor Group, LLC (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which it will agree to purchase 32,000 Private Placement Units (or 35,000 if the IPO Option is exercised in full) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit ($320,000 in the aggregate, or $350,000 if the IPO Option is exercised in full) in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the IPO Closing, and the Company will agree to issue and sell to the Purchaser such number of Private Placement Units having the same terms as the Private Placement Units to be purchased by the Sponsor in connection with the IPO Closing, as described in the Registration Statement. The number of Private Placement Units purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will reduce the number of Private Placement Units purchased by the Sponsor by an equivalent amount so that the Purchaser purchases a number of Private Placement Units equal to 10% of the total Private Placement Units purchased by the Sponsor and the Purchaser in connection with the IPO Closing.. The Purchaser’s Private Placement Units will be subject to certain transfer restrictions until the Business Combination Closing, on the same terms as the Private Placement Units purchased by the Sponsor. In the event the Purchaser does not purchase the Forward Purchase Shares in connection with the Business Combination Closing, the Purchaser shall promptly sell to the Sponsor all Private Placement Units purchased by the Purchaser at their original purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit.

(b) Founder Shares. At the Forward Closing, the Sponsor shall sell to the Purchaser a portion of the Founder Shares owned by the Sponsor, pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement of even date herewith between the Sponsor and the Purchaser. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that any such Founder Shares acquired by it shall be subject to the same lock up, transfer restrictions and escrow arrangements as the Founder Shares owned by the Sponsor.

(c) Indication of Interest. The Purchaser hereby indicates an interest in purchasing up to 9.9% of the Public Units offered in the IPO for a maximum of $10,000,000. This indication of interest is not a binding agreement or commitment to purchase and the Purchaser may elect not to purchase any Public Units in the IPO.

(d) Right of First Refusal. The Company hereby grants the Purchaser a right of first refusal with respect to any additional third-party equity financing required by the Company in connection with any Business Combination. The Company shall notify the Purchaser of the principal terms of any proposed issuance of equity to one or more third parties (excluding the Target or the equityholders of the Target) in connection with the Business Combination. If the Purchaser chooses to accept, the Purchaser shall have five (5) Business Days from the date of such notice to enter into a definitive subscription agreement providing for such financing. In the event the Purchaser does not elect to purchase such equity securities, the Company shall be free to sell such equity securities to one or more third-party purchasers on the terms contained in such notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Purchaser shall irrevocably waive such right of first refusal, and such right of first refusal shall no longer be applicable, if the Purchaser delivers an Excusal Notice, or if the Purchaser fails to deliver a Purchase Notice prior to the Notification Deadline.

(e) Trust Account.

(i) The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is aware that the Company will establish the Trust Account for the benefit of its public stockholders upon the IPO Closing. The Purchaser, for itself and its affiliates, hereby agrees that it has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, or any other asset of the Company as a result of any liquidation of the Company, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in respect of any Public Shares held by it.

(ii) The Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall have no right of set-off or any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”) to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account, and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account that it may have now or in the future, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in respect of any Public Shares held by it. In the event the Purchaser has any Claim against the Company under this Agreement, the Purchaser shall pursue such Claim solely against the Company and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the property or any monies in the Trust Account, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in respect of any Public Shares held by it.

(f) Voting. The Purchaser hereby agrees that if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, then in connection with such proposed Business Combination, the Purchaser shall vote any shares of Common Stock owned by it in favor of any proposed Business Combination.

(g) No Short Sales. The Purchaser hereby agrees that neither it, nor any person or entity acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it, will engage in any Short Sales with respect to securities of the Company prior to the Business Combination Closing. For purposes of this Section, “Short Sales” shall include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges (other than pledges in the ordinary course of business as part of prime brokerage arrangements), forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers.

(f) Assignments. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no party hereto may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other party.

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

(h) Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

(i) Governing Law. This Agreement, the entire relationship of the parties hereto, and any litigation between the parties (whether grounded in contract, tort, statute, law or equity) shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its choice of laws principles.

(m) Severability. The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided that if any provision of this Agreement, as applied to any party hereto or to any circumstance, is adjudged by a governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator not to be enforceable in accordance with its terms, the parties hereto agree that the governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator making such determination will have the power to modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision will then be enforceable and will be enforced.

The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent; stamp taxes and all The Depository Trust Company fees associated with the issuance of the Forward Purchase Shares.

(o) Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign law will be deemed also to refer to law as amended and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

(p) Waiver. No waiver by any party hereto of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent occurrence.

(q) Specific Performance. The Purchaser agrees that irreparable damage may occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Company shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.

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