(i) Subject to Sections 1(a)(ii), (iii) and (iv) and the other terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, up to a maximum of 1,000,000 Forward Purchase Shares (the “Maximum Shares”) for a purchase price of $10.00 USD per Forward Purchase Share (the “Forward Purchase Price”), or $10,000,000 USD in the aggregate.

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

(A) As soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event less than twenty (20) Business Days (as defend below) after the Company has identified a target for the initial Business Combination and that target has indicated a willingness to enter into definitive negotiations for the initial Business Combination, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with written notice (the “Initial Company Notice”) setting forth (i) the number of Forward Purchase Shares that it desires to offer to the Purchaser for purchase pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that such number shall in no event exceed the Maximum Shares, provided, further, however, that the number of Forward Purchase Shares that the Company elects to offer to the Purchaser for purchase shall be determined by the Company’s independent directors comprising the Company’s audit committee; provided, further, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company may elect to offer no Forward Purchase Shares for purchase by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) the identity of the counterparty or parties to the initial Business Combination (the “Target”), and (iii) the proposed timeline for the initial Business Combination. Along with delivery of the Initial Company Notice, the Company shall provide the Purchaser such other information related to the initial Business Combination that the Company determines is appropriate, including such other information as the Purchaser (or any applicable Transferee pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof) may request in writing. The Company shall keep the Purchaser informed of the progress of the negotiations with the Target, and shall regularly update the information provided to the Purchaser as may be necessary to keep the Purchaser fully informed of the status of the Target and the initial Business Combination.

(B) The Company shall deliver written notice to the Purchaser of the entry into one or more definitive binding agreements with the Target for the initial Business Combination promptly following the entry into such definitive binding agreements. Prior to the later of twenty (20) Business Days after this written notification to the Purchaser or twenty (20) Business Days before the Business Combination Closing, the Purchaser shall provide the Company with written notice of the decision of its investment committee or other committee with decision-making authority (the “Investment Committee”) as to the approval or non-approval of the purchase of Forward Purchase Shares, and, in the case of approval, the amount of Forward Purchase Shares that the Purchaser intends to purchase. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Purchaser provides the Company with written notice of the decision of its Investment Committee as to the non-approval of Forward Purchase Shares, the Purchaser shall have no obligation to purchase Forward Purchase Shares hereunder and shall not purchase Forward Purchase Shares hereunder. Written notice to the Company of Purchaser’s approval of the purchase of the specified amount of Forward Purchase Shares shall constitute the binding obligation of the Purchaser to purchase the Forward Purchase Shares indicated in its written notice to the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The determination of the Purchaser’s Investment Committee as to whether, and how much, of the Forward Purchase Shares offered to the Purchaser are to be purchased by the Purchaser shall be made in the Investment Committee’s sole and absolute discretion.

(iii) At least ten (10) Business Days before the Business Combination Closing, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with an updated written notice (the “Final Company Notice”) including:

(A) its determination of the number of Forward Purchase Shares that it desires the Purchaser to purchase pursuant to this Agreement, which shall not exceed the number of Forward Purchase Shares indicated on the Purchaser’s notice of the decision of its Investment Committee, or its determination that it does not desire the Purchaser to purchase any Forward Purchase Shares pursuant to this Agreement;

(B) the anticipated date of the Business Combination Closing; and

(C) instructions for wiring the Forward Purchase Price in the manner set forth in Section 1(a)(iv).

(iv) The closing of the sale of Forward Purchase Shares if Forward Purchase Shares are to be sold pursuant to this Agreement (the “Forward Closing”) shall be held on the same date and concurrently with the Business Combination Closing (such date being referred to as the “Forward Closing Date”). At least one (1) Business Day prior to the Forward Closing Date, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Company the Forward Purchase Price for the Forward Purchase Shares by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company in such written notice to be held in escrow without the payment of interest thereon until the Forward Closing on the Forward Closing Date. Immediately prior to the Forward Closing on the Forward Closing Date, (i) the Forward Purchase Price shall be released from escrow automatically and without further action by the Company or the Purchaser, and (ii) upon such release, the Company shall issue the Forward Purchase Shares to the Purchaser in book-entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those arising under state or federal securities laws), registered in the name of the Purchaser (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions), or to a custodian designated by the Purchaser, as applicable. In the event the Business Combination Closing does not occur within five (5) Business Days of the date scheduled for closing, the Forward Closing shall not occur and the Company shall promptly (but not later than one (1) Business Day thereafter) return the Forward Purchase Price to the Purchaser. 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 excluding as a result of “stay at home”, “shelter-in-place”, “non-essential employee” or any other similar orders or restrictions or the closure of any physical branch locations at the direction of any governmental authority so long as the electronic funds transfer systems, including for wire transfers, of commercially banking institutions in the City of New York, New York are generally open for use by customers on such day.

(b) Legends. Each register and book entry for the Forward Purchase Shares shall contain a notation, and each certificate (if any) evidencing the Forward Purchase Shares shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend, in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN VIOLATION OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR SUCH OTHER LAWS. THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION, OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED FORWARD PURCHASE AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF FEBRUARY 11, 2022, BY AND BETWEEN THE HOLDER AND THE COMPANY. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”

(c) Legend Removal. If the Forward Purchase Shares are eligible to be sold without restriction under, and without the Company being in compliance with the current public information requirements of, Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), then, at the Purchaser’s request, the Company will, at its sole expense, cause the Company’s transfer agent to remove the legend set forth in Section 1(b) hereof. In connection therewith, if required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company will promptly cause an opinion of counsel to be delivered to and maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent, that authorize and direct the transfer agent to transfer such Forward Purchase Shares without any such legend; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to deliver any such opinion, authorization or certificate or direction if it reasonably believes that removal of the legend could reasonably be expected to result in or facilitate transfers of Forward Purchase Shares in violation of applicable law.

(d) Registration Rights. The Purchaser shall have registration rights with respect to the Forward Purchase Shares as set forth the registration rights agreement referenced in Section 4 hereof (the “Registration Rights”).

The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company filed the Registration Statement.
