By executing this Agreement, Subscriber agrees to notify the Company of any material changes affecting Subscriber’s status prior to the Company’s acceptance of the subscription.

(b)

Subscriber understands that the Securities are not presently registered and the Company has no obligation to register the Securities or assist Subscriber in obtaining an exemption from registration except as described in the Registration Statement. Subscriber understands that the Private Placement Warrants and Founder Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act on the basis that the issuance of the Private Placement Warrants and Founder Shares is exempt under either Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering and that, in the view of the SEC, the statutory basis for the exemption claimed may not be present if any of the representations and warranties of Subscriber contained in (a) through (d) of this Section 2 are untrue or, notwithstanding Subscriber’s representations and warranties, Subscriber currently contemplates acquiring any of the Securities for resale.

(c)

Subscriber is purchasing and acquiring the Securities for investment purposes and not with a view to distribution or resale, nor with the intention of selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of all or any part thereof for any particular price, or at any particular time, or upon the happening of any particular event or circumstance, except selling, transferring, or disposing the Securities made in full compliance with all applicable provisions of the Securities Act, the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder, and applicable state securities laws; and Subscriber understands that an investment in the Securities is not a liquid investment.

(d)

Subscriber acknowledges that there exists no public market for the Securities, that no such public market may develop in the future, the Securities, when sold or issued, will be “restricted securities” and as a result, Subscriber acknowledges that the Securities may be required to be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available. Subscriber is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permit resales of securities purchased in a private placement subject to certain limitations and to the satisfaction of certain conditions provided for thereunder, including, among other things, the existence of a public market for the securities, the availability of certain current public information about the company issuing the securities, the resale occurring not less than six months after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sale being effected through a “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a “market maker” and the number of securities being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations. Subscriber further acknowledges that the Securities will be subject to certain lock-up restrictions, as described in this Agreement, and may only be transferred pursuant to the terms of such lock-up. Subscriber also acknowledges that Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company and that Rule 144 will provide an exception to this prohibition only if (i) the Company has then ceased to be a shell company; (ii) the Company is then subject to the

reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”); (iii) the Company has then filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the Company was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and (iv) at least one year has elapsed from the time that the Company filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

Subscriber acknowledges that Subscriber has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from the Company or any authorized person acting on its behalf concerning the Company’s proposed business plan and to obtain any additional information, to the extent possessed by the Company (or to the extent it could have been acquired by the Company without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify the accuracy of the information received by Subscriber. In connection therewith, Subscriber acknowledges that Subscriber has had the opportunity to discuss the Company’s proposed business, management and financial affairs with the Company’s management or any authorized person acting on its behalf. Subscriber has received and reviewed all the information concerning the Securities and the Company’s business, management, financial affairs, prospects and risks, both written and oral, that Subscriber desires. In determining whether to make this investment, Subscriber has relied solely on (i) Subscriber’s own knowledge and understanding of the Company and its proposed business based upon Subscriber’s own due diligence investigations and the information furnished pursuant to this paragraph, (ii) the information described in subparagraph 2(g) below and (iii) the representations and warranties of the Company made to Subscriber in this Agreement.

(h)

There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending against Subscriber or Subscriber’s assets before any court or governmental agency (nor, to Subscriber’s knowledge, is there any threat thereof) which would impair in any way Subscriber’s ability to enter into and fully perform Subscriber’s commitments and obligations under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(i)

The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with this Agreement and the sale and issuance of the Securities will not result in any violation of, or conflict with, or constitute a default under, any of Subscriber’s articles of incorporation, by-laws, operating agreement, partnership agreement, or trust agreement, if applicable, or any agreement to which Subscriber is a party or by which it is bound.

(j)

Subscriber acknowledges that an investment in the Securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk and that Subscriber can bear the economic risk of the purchase of the Securities, including a total loss of its investment. Subscriber acknowledges and understands and agrees that in the event the

Company is unable to consummate a Business Combination within a certain period of time following the closing of the IPO, then Subscriber may lose its entire investment.

(k)

Subscriber understands that the officers and directors of the Company, and other similarly situated individuals, may receive better terms than those being offered to Subscriber hereby, which have been disclosed to Subscriber.

Forfeiture If Subscriber Does Not Purchase IPO Allocation. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it shall either forfeit (or the Company shall cancel), or, at the election of the Company in its sole discretion, transfer to the Sponsor, a number of Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants determined in accordance with this Section 5(d) if Subscriber purchases less than a number of Class A Common Stock equal to the IPO Allocation (the “Required Number”) in the IPO (with the number of Public Shares purchased in the IPO being referred to herein as the “Subscriber’s Number”). Subscriber shall not forfeit any shares if the Subscriber’s Number equals or exceeds the Required Number immediately following the IPO. However, if immediately following the IPO the Subscriber’s Number is less than the Required Number, then the number of Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants the Subscriber shall be entitled to retain will be equal to the number of Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants purchased pursuant to Section 1(d) multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the Subscriber’s Number and (ii) the denominator of which is the Required Number.

(e)

Forfeiture If Subscriber Breaches Lockup or Redeems.

(i)

transferred, assigned or solid in violation of Section 5(b)(ii) being the “Breach Number”). If the Breach Number is greater than zero, (A) then the number of Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants the Subscriber shall be entitled to retain will be equal to the number of Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants purchased pursuant to Section 1(d) multiplied by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the Subscriber’s Number less the Breach Number and (y) the denominator of which is the Subscriber’s Number and (B) Subscriber shall forfeit any corresponding Warrants which were issued with the Class A Common Stock as part of the Public Units purchased in the IPO that were sold or transferred by Subscriber in violation of Section 5(b)(ii); provided that if the Warrants to be forfeited pursuant to this Section 5(e)(i) have already been sold or transferred by Subscriber to a third-party, Subscriber shall be required to pay to the Company the value of such Warrants so transferred based on the valuation report provided by the Company for the fiscal quarter immediately following the date of such sale; provided, further, for the avoidance of doubt, Subscriber shall not be required to forfeit any securities of the Company pursuant to this Section 5(e)(i) to the extent such securities were purchased after the IPO.

(ii)

Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it shall either forfeit (or the Company shall cancel), or, at the election of the Company in its sole discretion, transfer to the Sponsor, a number of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants determined in accordance with this Section 5(e)(ii) if Subscriber redeems any of its Class A Shares in violation of Section 5(h) (with the aggregate number of Class A Common Stock redeemed in violation of Section 5(h) being the “Redemption Breach Number”). If the Redemption Breach Number is greater than zero, (A) then the number of Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants the Subscriber shall be entitled to retain will be equal to the number of Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants purchased pursuant to Section 1(d) multiplied by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the Subscriber’s Number less the Redemption Breach Number and (y) the denominator of which is the Subscriber’s Number and (B) Subscriber shall forfeit any corresponding Warrants which were issued with the Class A Common Stock as part of the Public Units purchased in the IPO that were redeemed by Subscriber in violation of Section 5(h); provided that if the Warrants to be forfeited pursuant to this Section 5(e)(ii) have already been sold or transferred by Subscriber to a third-party, Subscriber shall be required to pay to the Company the value of such Warrants so transferred based on the valuation report provided by the Company for the fiscal quarter immediately following the date of such sale; provided, further, for the avoidance of doubt, Subscriber shall not be required to forfeit any securities of the Company pursuant to this Section 5(e)(ii) to the extent such securities were purchased after the IPO.

(f)

Changes in Connection with Business Combination. Subscriber agrees that if, in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor decides (i) to forfeit, transfer to a third person, exchange, subject to transfer, vesting or conditional forfeiture provisions, or amend the terms of all or any portion of the Founder Shares and/or the Private Placement Warrants (or the Sponsor’s membership interests representing an interest in any of the foregoing) or (ii) to enter into any other arrangements with respect to the Founder Shares and/or the Private Placement Warrants (or the Sponsor’s membership interests representing an interest in any of the foregoing), to facilitate the consummation of such Business Combination (each, a “Change in Investment”), such Change in Investment shall apply pro rata to the Founder Shares and/or Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor and Subscriber based on the relative number of Founder Shares and/or Private Placement Warrants to be held by each at the consummation of the Business Combination; provided, that in each case Subscriber has been given notice at least two (2) Business Days prior to any proposed Change in Investment. Subscriber agrees to take all steps and execute all such agreements as may be necessary or reasonably requested by the Sponsor to effectuate such Change in Investment on the same terms as applicable to the Sponsor.

(g)

Automatic Conversion of Founder Shares. The Founder Shares acquired by Subscriber shall automatically convert into Class A Common Stock of the Company on the Business Day following the

closing of the Business Combination. For the avoidance of doubt, Subscriber (i) shall be prohibited from converting any acquired Founder Shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and (ii) hereby irrevocably waives, with respect to the Founder Shares any redemption rights it may have in connection with (A) the consummation of a Business Combination, including, without limitation, any such rights available in the context of a shareholder vote to approve such Business Combination and (B) any shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Charter that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Class A Shares sold in the IPO if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Company’s charter or in the context of a tender offer made by the Company to purchase Class A Shares.

(h)

Voting and Redemption. If the Company seeks shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, then in connection with such proposed Business Combination, Subscriber shall vote any Class B Shares and Class A Shares owned by it on the applicable record date in favor of any proposed Business Combination. The Subscriber shall not redeem any of its Class A Common Stock. Subscriber acknowledges that the board of directors of the Company may make any amendments to the terms of warrant agreement entered into in connection with the issuance of the Warrants that are necessary in the good faith determination of the Company’s board of directors (taking into account then existing market precedents) to allow for the Warrants to be classified as equity in the Company’s financial statements without a vote of the holders of the Warrants (provided that no such amendment may increase the exercise price or shorten the exercise period). For the avoidance of doubt, the Subscriber shall retain its redemptions rights with respect to its Class A Common Stock in the event of a liquidation of the Company if no initial Business Combination has been consummated.

(i)

Right to Participate in Future Offerings. In the event the Company contemplates an additional offering of securities in anticipation of the Business Combination, and if at the time of such additional offering of securities the Subscriber’s Number is equal to or greater than the Required Number the Company shall offer Subscriber, the right to participate in such offering pro rata in the same percentage of Public Units subscribed or purchased by Subscriber at the time of the IPO Closing.

(j)

Independent Nature of Rights and Obligations. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any party pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute Subscriber and the Sponsor as, and the Sponsor acknowledges that Subscriber and the Sponsor do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that Subscriber and the Sponsor are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters, and the Sponsor acknowledges that Subscriber and the Sponsor are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Sponsor shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(k)

Accredited Investor Questionnaire

☐	A natural person whose individual net worth, or joint net worth with that person’s spouse, at the time of 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 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 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.

☐	A natural person who had an individual income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with that person’s spouse or spousal equivalent in excess of $300,000 in each of those years and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year. For purposes hereof the term “income” is not limited to “adjusted gross income” as that term is defined for federal income tax purposes, but rather includes certain items of income which are deducted in computing “adjusted gross income.” For investors who are salaried employees, the gross salary of such investor, minus any significant expenses personally incurred by such investor in connection with earning the salary, plus any income from any other source including unearned income, is a fair measure of “income” for purposes hereof. For investors who are self-employed, “income” is generally construed to mean total revenues received during the calendar year minus significant expenses incurred in connection with earning such revenues.

☐	A trust, with assets in excess of $5,000,000, not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities, whose purchase is directed by a sophisticated person as described in Rule 506(b)(2) (ii) of Regulation D of the Securities Act.

☐	Any entity in which all of the equity owners are Accredited Investors.

☐	A director or officer of the Company.

☐	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.

☐	A natural person who is a “knowledgeable employee” as defined in Rule 3c-5(a)(4) under the Investment Company Act, of the issuer of the securities being offered or sold where the issuer would be an investment company, as defined in section 3 of the Investment Company Act, but for the exclusion provided by either section 3(c)(1) or section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act;

☐	An investment adviser registered pursuant to section 203 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Investment Advisers Act”) or registered pursuant to the laws of a state, or an investment adviser relying on the exemption from registering with the SEC under the section 203(l) or (m) of the Investment Advisers Act;
