NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual representations and covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

1. SUBSCRIPTION FOR NOTES AND REPRESENTATIONS BY AND COVENANTS OF THE SUBSCRIBER

The purchase price is payable by wire transfer to the Company. The Company shall hold an amount equal to the purchase price in escrow with CST, (also acting as the “Funds Escrow Agent”), until the closing of the Business Combination, and will be immediately available to the Company upon the closing of the Business Combination in accordance with and subject to the terms of the escrow agreement by and among the Company, the Placement Agent (as defined below) and the Funds Escrow Agent, dated as of the date hereof (the “Funds Escrow Agreement”); provided, however, in the event the Business Combination does not close by November 15, 2023, the purchase price shall be promptly returned to the Subscriber and the Notes and Parent Notes shall be canceled.

The Notes and the Conversion Shares are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Securities”.

1.2 The Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise set forth in Section 3.2 herein or as otherwise required by law, the Subscriber is not entitled to cancel, terminate or revoke this Agreement and that this Agreement shall survive the death or disability of the Subscriber and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

1.3 The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of the Securities involves a high degree of risk including, but not limited to, the following: (a) the Company has a limited operating history; (b) an investment in the Company is highly speculative, and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Securities;

1.4 At the time the Subscriber was offered the Securities either (a) his, her or it was, and as of the date hereof his, her or it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, as indicated by the Subscriber’s responses to the questions contained in Section 7 hereof, and the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities.

1.5 The Subscriber hereby acknowledges and represents that (a) the Subscriber has adequate means of providing for the Subscriber’s current financial needs and contingencies, (b) the Subscriber has knowledge and experience in business and financial matters, prior investment experience, including investment in securities that are non-listed, unregistered and/or not traded on a national securities exchange or the Subscriber has employed the services of a “purchaser representative” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D), attorney and/or accountant to read all of the documents furnished or made available by the Company both to the Subscriber and to all other prospective investors in the Securities to evaluate the merits and risks of such an investment on the Subscriber’s behalf; (c) the Subscriber recognizes the highly speculative nature of this investment; (d) the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk that the Subscriber hereby assumes; and (e) the Subscriber can afford a complete loss of such investment in the Securities.

The Subscriber hereby represents that the Subscriber has been furnished by the Company the terms and conditions of the Offering and has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Company concerning the Company and the terms and conditions of the Offering; provided, however that no investigation performed by or on behalf of the Subscriber shall limit or otherwise affect its right to rely on the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein.

1.7 (a) In making the decision to invest in the Securities, the Subscriber has relied solely upon the information provided by the Company in this Agreement, the share escrow agreement (the “Share Escrow Agreement”), and the Notes (the “Transaction Documents”). To the extent necessary, the Subscriber has retained, at his, her or its own expense, except that the Company shall pay $25,000 toward each Subscriber’s legal fees in connection with the Transaction, and relied upon appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits and consequences of this Agreement and the purchase of the Securities hereunder.

The Subscriber understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities or “blue sky” laws and agrees not to sell, pledge, assign or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Securities unless they are registered under the Securities Act and under any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available.

In connection with the foregoing, the Subscriber hereby represents that the Subscriber is purchasing the Securities for the Subscriber’s own account for investment and not with a view toward the resale or distribution to others; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall constitute an agreement by the Subscriber to hold the Securities for any particular length of time and the Company acknowledges that the Subscriber shall at all times retain the right to dispose of his, her or its property as he, she or it may determine in his, her or its sole discretion, subject to any restrictions imposed by applicable law. The Subscriber, if an entity, further represents that it was not formed for the purpose of purchasing the Securities.

1.10 The Subscriber consents to the placement of a legend on the Notes it acquires hereunder and any certificate or other document evidencing the Conversion Shares into which Note may be converted, that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof contained in this Agreement. The Subscriber is aware that the Company will make a notation in its appropriate records with respect to the restrictions on the transferability of such securities. The legend to be placed on all of the Notes sold in the Offering shall be in form substantially similar to the following:

“THIS CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE OR OTHER SECURITIES LAW. NO SALE OR DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED EXCEPT (1) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR (2) WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER, SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT AND UNDER SAID LAWS.”

1.11 The Subscriber hereby represents that the address of the Subscriber furnished by the Subscriber on the Investor Questionnaire is the Subscriber’s principal residence if Subscriber is an individual or its principal business address if it is a corporation or other entity.

1.12 The Subscriber represents that the Subscriber has full power and authority (corporate, statutory and otherwise) to execute and deliver this Agreement and to purchase the Notes.

1.13 If the Subscriber is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, employee benefit plan, individual retirement account, Xxxxx Plan, or other tax-exempt entity, it is authorized and qualified to invest in the Company and the person signing this Agreement on behalf of such entity has been duly authorized by such entity to do so.

1.14 The Subscriber agrees not to issue any public statement with respect to the Offering, Subscriber’s investment or proposed investment in the Company or the terms of any agreement or covenant between him, her or it and the Company without the Company’s prior written consent, except such disclosures as may be required under applicable law.

1.15 The Subscriber acknowledges that the information contained in the Transaction Documents or otherwise made available to the Subscriber is confidential and non-public and agrees that all such information shall be kept in confidence by the Subscriber and neither used by the Subscriber for the Subscriber’s personal benefit (other than in connection with this subscription) nor disclosed to any third party for any reason, notwithstanding that the Subscriber’s subscription may not be accepted by the Company; provided, however, that (a) the Subscriber may disclose such information to his, her or its affiliates and advisors who may have a need for such information in connection with providing advice to the Subscriber with respect to his, her or its investment in the Company so long as such affiliates and advisors have an obligation of confidentiality, and (b) this obligation shall not apply to any such information that

(i) is part of the public knowledge or literature and readily accessible at the date hereof,

(ii) becomes part of the public knowledge or literature and readily accessible by publication (except as a result of a breach of this provision) or (iii) is received from third parties without an obligation of confidentiality (except third parties who disclose such information in violation of any confidentiality agreements or obligations, including, without limitation, any subscription or other similar agreement entered into with the Company).

1.16 The Subscriber understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to him, her or it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Subscriber’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgements and understandings of the Subscriber set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Subscriber to acquire the Securities. The Subscriber agrees to supply the Company, within five (5) days after the Subscriber receives the request therefor from the Company, with such additional information concerning the Subscriber as the Company deems necessary or advisable.

1.17 If the Subscriber is purchasing the Securities in a fiduciary capacity for another person or entity, including without limitation a corporation, partnership, trust or any other entity, the Subscriber has been duly authorized and empowered to execute this Agreement and all other subscription documents, and such other person fulfills all the requirements for purchase of the Securities as such requirements are set forth herein, concurs in the purchase of the Securities and agrees to be bound by the obligations, representations, warranties and covenants contained herein.

7.4 This Agreement, together with the Exhibits hereto, and the Note delivered by the Company to the Subscriber contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules. The Placement Agent shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of the representations and warranties and covenants made by the Company and the Subscribers in this Agreement.

7.5 Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Subscriber and the Company, this Agreement shall become a binding obligation of the Subscriber with respect to the purchase of Notes as herein provided, subject, however, to the right hereby reserved by the Company to enter into similar agreements with other subscribers for Notes.

7.6 All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Notes (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of the Notes), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding.

7.7 In order to discourage frivolous claims, the parties agree that unless a claimant in any proceeding arising out of this Agreement succeeds in establishing his claim and recovering a judgment against another party (regardless of whether such claimant succeeds against one of the other parties to the action), the other party shall be entitled to recover from such claimant all of its/their reasonable legal costs and expenses relating to such proceeding and/or incurred in preparation therefor.

7.8 The holding of any provision of this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced in whole or in part, such provision shall be interpreted so as to remain enforceable to the maximum extent permissible consistent with applicable law and the remaining conditions and provisions or portions thereof shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect and enforceable to the extent they are valid, legal and enforceable, and no provisions shall be deemed dependent upon any other covenant or provision unless so expressed herein.

7.9 The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the delivery of the Notes for the applicable statute of limitations.

7.10 It is agreed that a waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate, or be construed, as a waiver of any subsequent breach by that same party.

7.11 The Company agrees to execute and deliver all such further documents, agreements and instruments and take such other and further action as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

7.12 This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

7.13 Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any rights in any person or entity not a party to this Agreement, except as set forth in Section 5.5 and Section 6.4.

7.14 In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Subscriber and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under this Agreement. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
