This KEY COMPANY STOCKHOLDER FORWARD PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Purchase Agreement”) is entered into on April 28, 2022, by and between Ignyte Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Ignyte”), and the undersigned subscriber (the “Investor”).

WHEREAS, this Purchase Agreement is being entered into in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Transaction Agreement”), by and between Ignyte, Ignyte Korea Co., Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Korea (“Merger Sub”) and Peak Bio Co., Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Korea (the “Company,” and together with Ignyte and Merger Sub, the “Parties”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Parties desire to enter into a business combination transaction (such transaction, together with the other transactions contemplated by, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Transaction Agreement, collectively, the “Transaction”) structured as a comprehensive share swap whereby (i) the stockholders of the Company will transfer their respective shares of common stock of the Company, par value KRW 500 per share (the “Company Common Stock”), to Merger Sub in exchange for shares of common stock of Ignyte, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ignyte Common Stock”) held by Merger Sub, and (ii) in the course of such share swap, Merger Sub will contribute the shares of Company Common Stock to Ignyte in consideration of Ignyte Common Stock (which will in-turn be distributed to the stockholders of the Company as described in (i) above);

WHEREAS, in connection with the Transaction, Ignyte is seeking commitments from interested investors to purchase shares of Ignyte Common Stock (the “Shares”), in a private placement for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Per Share Subscription Price”);

WHEREAS, substantially concurrently with the execution of this Purchase Agreement, Ignyte is entering into separate subscription agreements with certain investors, and subsequent to the date hereof but prior to the consummation of the Transaction, Ignyte may enter into additional subscription agreements with certain additional investors (collectively, the “Other Investors”); and

WHEREAS, in the event the aggregate purchase price of the Other Investors is less than $30,000,000 as of the date that is five (5) business days prior to the Transaction Closing Date (as defined below) (the “Other Investors’ Aggregate PIPE Investment Amount”) and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions specified below, the Investor will purchase Shares with an aggregate purchase price equal to the lesser of (i) $10,000,000 and (ii) the amount by which the Other Investors’ Aggregate PIPE Investment Amount is less than $30,000,000 (the “Subscription Amount”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, each of the Investor and Ignyte acknowledges and agrees as follows:

1. Subscription. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 3 below, in the event the Other Investors’ Aggregate PIPE Investment Amount is less than $30,000,000 as of the date that is five (5) business days prior to the Transaction Closing Date (as defined below) and subject to the satisfaction of the closing conditions specified below, including but not limited to securing the Margin Loan (as defined below), the Investor hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from Ignyte, and Ignyte agrees to issue and sell to the Investor, the number of Shares determined by dividing the Investor Forward Subscription Amount by the Per Share Purchase Price, on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for herein.


2. Closing. The closing of the sale of the Shares contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall occur on a closing date (the “Closing Date”) specified in the Closing Notice (as defined below), and the Closing shall be conditioned upon the prior or substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction and satisfaction of the conditions set forth above and below (the closing date of the Transaction, the “Transaction Closing Date”). Upon delivery of written notice from (or on behalf of) Ignyte to the Investor (the “Closing Notice”), that Ignyte reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transaction to be satisfied or waived on an expected Transaction Closing Date that is not less than five (5) business days from the date on which the Closing Notice is delivered to the Investor, the Investor shall deliver the Subscription Amount three (3) business days prior to the expected Closing Date by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by Ignyte in the Closing Notice. On the Closing Date, Ignyte shall issue the Shares to the Investor and subsequently cause the Shares to be registered in book entry form in the name of the Investor and will provide to the Investor, upon request by the Investor, evidence of such issuance from Ignyte’s transfer agent. For purposes of this Purchase Agreement, “business day” shall mean a day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York are authorized or required by law to close. Prior to or at the Closing, the Investor shall deliver to Ignyte a duly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or appropriate Form W-8. In the event the Transaction Closing Date does not occur within two (2) business days after the Closing Date under this Purchase Agreement, Ignyte shall promptly (but not later than two (2) business days thereafter) return the Subscription Amount to the Investor by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Investor, and any book-entries for the Shares shall be deemed cancelled; provided that, unless this Purchase Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Section 9 hereof, such return of funds shall not terminate this Purchase Agreement or relieve the Investor of its obligation to purchase the Shares at the Closing in the event Ignyte delivers a subsequent Closing Notice in accordance with this Section 2.

3. Closing Conditions.

2


(e) This Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Ignyte and, assuming that this Purchase Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Investor, this Purchase Agreement is enforceable against Ignyte in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, or (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

(f) The issuance and sale by Ignyte of the Shares pursuant to this Purchase Agreement will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of Ignyte or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which Ignyte or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Ignyte or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of Ignyte is subject that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of Ignyte and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”), or materially and adversely affect the validity of the Shares or the legal authority of Ignyte to comply in all material respects with its obligations under this Purchase Agreement; (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of Ignyte; or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over Ignyte or any of its properties that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or materially and adversely affect the validity of the Shares or the legal authority of Ignyte to comply in all material respects with its obligations under this Purchase Agreement.

(g) As of their respective filing dates, or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment, which shall be deemed to supersede such original filing, all reports required to be filed by Ignyte with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) since January 28, 2021 (the “SEC Reports”) complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder. None of the SEC Reports filed under the Exchange Act included, when filed or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment with respect to those disclosures that are amended, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, that Ignyte makes no such representation or warranty with respect to any registration statement or any proxy statement/prospectus to be filed by Ignyte with respect to the Transaction or any other information relating to the Company or any of its affiliates Ignyte included in any SEC Report or filed as an exhibit thereto. Ignyte has timely filed with the SEC each SEC Report that Ignyte was required to file with the SEC. As of the date hereof, there are no material outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters received by Ignyte from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the SEC with respect to any of the SEC Reports. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this representation and warranty shall not apply to any statement or information in the SEC Reports that relates to (i) the topics referenced in the SEC’s “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies” on April 12, 2021 or any subsequent guidance, statements or interpretations issued by the SEC or the Staff (collectively, the “SEC Statement”) or (ii) the Company’s outstanding redeemable shares as temporary, as opposed to permanent, equity (“Redeemable Share Classification Changes”). Neither any correction, amendment or restatement of Ignyte’s financial statements due to the SEC Statement, Redeemable Share Classification Changes or to other accounting matters related to initial public offering securities or expenses, nor any changes in accounting or disclosure related thereto, shall be deemed to be a breach of any representation or warranty by Ignyte.

(h) Ignyte is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or other person in connection with the issuance of the Shares pursuant to this Purchase Agreement, other than (i) filings with the SEC, (ii) in connection with or as a result of the SEC Statement or Redeemable Share Classification Changes, (iii) filings required by applicable state securities laws, (iv) the filings required in accordance with Section 13 of this Purchase Agreement; (v) those required by the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq, as applicable, including with respect to obtaining approval of Ignyte’s stockholders, (vi) the filing of a notification under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, if applicable, and (vii) the failure of which to obtain would not be reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(i) As of the date hereof, Ignyte has not received any written communication from a governmental authority that alleges that Ignyte is not in compliance with or is in default or violation of any applicable law, except where such non-compliance, default or violation would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(j) Assuming the accuracy of the Investor’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 6 of this Purchase Agreement, no registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), is required for the offer and sale of the Shares by Ignyte to the Investor.

(k) Neither Ignyte nor any person acting on its behalf has offered or sold the Shares by any form of general solicitation or general advertising in violation of the Securities Act.

(l) As of the date hereof, the issued and outstanding shares of Ignyte Common Stock are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on Nasdaq. There is no suit, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of Ignyte, threatened against Ignyte by Nasdaq or the SEC with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister the Shares or prohibit or terminate the listing of the Shares on Nasdaq, excluding, for the purposes of clarity, the customary ongoing review by Nasdaq in connection with the Transaction. Ignyte has taken no action that is designed to terminate the registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act prior to the Closing.

(m) Ignyte is not under any obligation to pay any broker’s fee or commission in connection with the sale of the Shares.

(n) The Other Subscription Agreements reflect the same Per Share Subscription Price and other terms with respect to the purchase of the Shares that are not materially more favorable to such Other Investor thereunder than the terms of this Purchase Agreement, other than terms particular to the regulatory requirements of such Other Investor or its affiliates or related funds.

6. Investor Representations and Warranties. The Investor represents and warrants to Ignyte that:

The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares will be subject to the foregoing transfer restrictions and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, the Investor may not be able to readily offer, resell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares will not immediately be eligible for offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, and that the provisions of Rule 144(i) will apply to the Shares.

(d) The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor has received such information as the Investor deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares, including, with respect to Ignyte, the Transaction and the business of the Company and its subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed Ignyte’s filings with the SEC. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor and the Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as the Investor and the Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares.

(f) The Investor acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Shares, including those set forth in Ignyte’s filings with the SEC. The Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, and the Investor has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Investor has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision.

Nothing in this Section 7 shall prohibit (x) any other investment portfolios or departments or groups of Investor that have no knowledge of this Purchase Agreement or of the Investor’s participation in this transaction and have not been informed by the Investor of the Transaction (including Investor’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any short sales or engaging in other hedging transactions or (y) any portfolio company or third-party investment manager engaged by Investor that may engage in any short sales or hedging transactions on Investor’s behalf, if such portfolio company or third-party investment manager has not been directed or instructed to engage in short sales or hedging transactions with respect to the Shares by the Investor or any of the persons that are subject to the foregoing.

8. Registration Rights.

(a) Ignyte agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days following the Closing Date (such deadline, the “Filing Deadline”), Ignyte will submit to or file with the SEC a registration statement for a shelf registration on Form S-1 or Form S-3 (if Ignyte is then eligible to use a Form S-3 shelf registration) (the “Registration Statement”), in each case, covering the resale of the Shares acquired by the Investor pursuant to this Purchase Agreement which are eligible for registration (determined as of two (2) business days prior to such submission or filing) (the “Registrable Shares”) and Ignyte shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 90th calendar day following the filing date thereof if the SEC notifies Ignyte that it will “review” the Registration Statement and (ii) the 10th business day after the date Ignyte is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, however, that Ignyte’s obligations to include the Registrable Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Investor furnishing in writing to Ignyte such information regarding the Investor or its permitted assigns, the securities of Ignyte held by the Investor and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Shares (which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings) as shall be reasonably requested by Ignyte to effect the registration of the Registrable Shares, and the Investor shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Ignyte may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that Ignyte shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement, if applicable, as permitted hereunder; provided that the Investor shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Registrable Shares. For as long as the Investor holds Shares, Ignyte will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports for so long as the condition in Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) is required to be satisfied, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the undersigned to resell the Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (in each case, when Rule 144 under the Securities Act becomes available to the Investor). Any failure by Ignyte to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Deadline shall not otherwise relieve Ignyte of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 8.

7


(b) At its expense Ignyte shall:

(i) except for such times as Ignyte is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which Ignyte determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to the Investor, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (A) the Investor ceases to hold any Registrable Shares, (B) the date all Registrable Shares held by the Investor may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 under the Securities Act and without the requirement for Ignyte to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) under the Securities Act, and (C) two (2) years from the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The period of time during which Ignyte is required hereunder to keep a Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “Registration Period”;

(ii) during the Registration Period, advise the Investor, as expeditiously as possible:

(1) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC;

(2) after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

(3) of the receipt by Ignyte of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

(4) subject to the provisions in this Purchase Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Ignyte shall not, when so advising the Investor of such events, provide the Investor with any material, nonpublic information regarding Ignyte other than to the extent that providing notice to the Investor of the occurrence of the events listed in (1) through (4) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding Ignyte;

8


(iii) during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

(iv) during the Registration Period, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 8(b)(ii)(4) above, except for such times as Ignyte is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, Ignyte shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(v) during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Shares have been listed;

(vi) during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow the Investor to review disclosure regarding the Investor in the Registration Statement; and

(vii) during the Registration Period, otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Investor, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in connection with the registration of the Registrable Shares.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Purchase Agreement, Ignyte shall be entitled to delay the filing or effectiveness of, or suspend the use of, the Registration Statement if it determines (i) that in order for the Registration Statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, (x) an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act or (y) the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by Ignyte or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event Ignyte’s board of directors reasonably believes would require additional disclosure by Ignyte in the Registration Statement of material information that Ignyte has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of Ignyte’s board of directors to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements, or (ii) such delay or suspension arises out of, or is a result of, or is related to or is in connection with the SEC Statement, Redeemable Share Classification Changes or other accounting matters, or any related disclosure or other matters (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that Ignyte may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than three occasions or for more than ninety (90) consecutive calendar days, or more than one hundred and twenty (120) total calendar days in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from Ignyte of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in light of the circumstances under which they were made, in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, the Investor agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until the Investor receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which Ignyte agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by Ignyte that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by Ignyte unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by Ignyte, the Investor will deliver to Ignyte or, in the Investor’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Shares in the Investor’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Shares shall not apply (A) to the extent Investor is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (1) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (2) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (B) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

(d) Indemnification.

9


(i) Ignyte agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, the Investor (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), its directors, officers, partners, managers, members, stockholders, agents and each person who controls the Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act), to the extent permitted by law, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees of one law firm) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement (“Prospectus”) or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or 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 a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to Ignyte by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein.

(ii) In connection with any Registration Statement in which the Investor is participating, the Investor shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to Ignyte in writing such information and affidavits as Ignyte reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify Ignyte, its directors and officers and each person or entity who controls Ignyte (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or 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 a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the liability of the Investor shall be several and not joint with any other investor and shall be limited to the net proceeds received by the Investor from the sale of Registrable Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(iii) Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (A) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (B) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(iv) The indemnification provided for under this Purchase Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

10


(v) If the indemnification provided under this Section 8(d) from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that the liability of the Investor shall be limited to the net proceeds received by the Investor from the sale of Registrable Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 8(d)(i), (ii) and (iii) above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d)(v) from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(vi) If the Shares acquired hereunder are either eligible to be sold (i) pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or (ii) without restriction under, and without Ignyte being in compliance with the current public information requirements of, Rule 144 under the Securities Act, then at the Investor’s request, Ignyte will reasonably cooperate with Ignyte’s transfer agent, such that any remaining restrictive legend set forth on such Shares will be removed in connection with a sale of such shares.

9. Termination. This Purchase Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Purchase Agreement, (c) if the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 3 of this Purchase Agreement are not satisfied at, or are not capable of being satisfied on or prior to, the Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Purchase Agreement will not be or are not consummated at the Closing and (d) the Outside Date (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) if the closing of the Transaction has not occurred on or before such date; provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful breach. Ignyte shall notify the Investor of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement. Upon the termination of this Purchase Agreement in accordance with this Section 9, any monies paid by the Investor to Ignyte in connection herewith shall be promptly (and in any event within two (2) business days after such termination) returned to the Investor.

10. Trust Account Waiver. The Investor acknowledges that Ignyte is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving Ignyte and one or more businesses or assets. The Investor further acknowledges that, as described in Ignyte’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated January 27, 2021 (the “IPO Prospectus”) available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of Ignyte’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of Ignyte’s initial public offering and private placement of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of Ignyte, its public stockholders and the underwriter of Ignyte’s initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to Ignyte to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the IPO Prospectus. For and in consideration of Ignyte entering into this Purchase Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Investor hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind it has or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Purchase Agreement; provided, that nothing in this Section 10 shall be deemed to limit the Investor’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of the Investor’s record or beneficial ownership of Ignyte Common Stock acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Purchase Agreement.

11


11. Miscellaneous.

(a) Purchase Neither this Purchase Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Investor hereunder (other than the Shares acquired hereunder, if any) may be transferred or assigned, other than an assignment to any fund or account managed by the same investment manager as the Investor or an affiliate thereof, subject to, if such transfer or assignment is prior to the Closing, such transferee or assignee, as applicable, executing a joinder to this Purchase Agreement or a separate subscription agreement in substantially the same form as this Purchase Agreement, including with respect to the Purchase Amount and other terms and conditions, provided, that, in the case of any such transfer or assignment, the initial party to this Purchase Agreement shall remain bound by its obligations under this Purchase Agreement in the event that the transferee or assignee, as applicable, does not comply with its obligations to consummate the purchase of Shares contemplated hereby. Neither this Purchase Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to Ignyte hereunder or any of Ignyte’s obligations may be transferred or assigned other than pursuant to the Transaction.

(b) Ignyte may request from the Investor such additional information as Ignyte may deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Shares and in connection with the inclusion of the Shares in the Registration Statement, and the Investor shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested, to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with its internal policies and procedures. The Investor acknowledges that Ignyte may file a form of this Purchase Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to a current or periodic report or a registration statement of Ignyte.

(c) The Investor acknowledges that Ignyte will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Purchase Agreement. Prior to the Closing, the Investor agrees to promptly notify Ignyte if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Investor set forth herein are no longer accurate.

(d) Ignyte and the Investor are each entitled to rely upon this Purchase Agreement and each is irrevocably authorized to produce this Purchase Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

(e) All of the representations and warranties contained in this Purchase Agreement shall survive the Closing. All of the covenants and agreements made by each party hereto in this Purchase Agreement shall survive the Closing until the applicable statute of limitations or in accordance with their respective terms, if a shorter period.

(f) This Purchase Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 9 above) except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto and, to the extent required by the Transaction Agreement, the Company. No failure or delay of either party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties and third-party beneficiaries hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.

(g) This Purchase Agreement (including the schedule hereto) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as set forth in Section 8(d), Section 11(c) and Section 11(d) with respect to the persons referenced therein, this Purchase Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successor and assigns.

(h) Except as otherwise provided herein, this Purchase Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

(i) If any provision of this Purchase Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Purchase Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

12


(j) Each party shall pay all of its own costs and expenses incurred in anticipation of, relating to and in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, whether or not such transactions are consummated.

(k) This Purchase Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.

(l) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Purchase Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Purchase Agreement, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Purchase Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.

(m) THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURT OF CHANCERY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE (OR, TO THE EXTENT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE) SOLELY IN RESPECT OF THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND THE DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO IN THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND IN RESPECT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND HEREBY WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT, AS A DEFENSE IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING FOR INTERPRETATION OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR ANY SUCH DOCUMENT THAT IS NOT SUBJECT THERETO OR THAT SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING MAY NOT BE BROUGHT OR IS NOT MAINTAINABLE IN SAID COURTS OR THAT VENUE THEREOF MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE OR THAT THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT OR ANY SUCH DOCUMENT MAY NOT BE ENFORCED IN OR BY SUCH COURTS, AND THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED BY SUCH A DELAWARE STATE OR FEDERAL COURT. THE PARTIES HEREBY CONSENT TO AND GRANT ANY SUCH COURT JURISDICTION OVER THE PERSON OF SUCH PARTIES AND OVER THE SUBJECT MATTER OF SUCH DISPUTE AND AGREE THAT MAILING OF PROCESS OR OTHER PAPERS IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 11(m) OF THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT OR IN SUCH OTHER MANNER AS MAY BE PERMITTED BY LAW SHALL BE VALID AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE THEREOF. THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER STATE.

(n) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (II) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (III) SUCH PARTY MAKES THE FOREGOING WAIVER VOLUNTARILY; AND (IV) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11(n).

13


12. Non-Reliance and Exculpation. The Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, Ignyte and any of its affiliates, any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents, representatives, legal counsel, financial advisors or accountants), other than the statements, representations and warranties of Ignyte expressly contained in Section 5 of this Purchase Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in Ignyte. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that none of (i) the Other Investors pursuant to this Purchase Agreement or any Other Subscription Agreement related to the private placement of the Shares (including the Other Investors’ respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), (ii) any other party to the Transaction Agreement (other than Ignyte), or (iii) any affiliates, or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of Ignyte, the Company or any other party to the Transaction Agreement shall be liable to the Investor, or to any Other Investor, pursuant to this Purchase Agreement or any Other Subscription Agreement related to the private placement of the Shares, the negotiation hereof or thereof or the subject matter hereof or thereof, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Shares.

13. Press Releases. Ignyte shall, by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first business day immediately following the date of this Purchase Agreement, issue one or more press releases or furnish or file with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K (collectively, the “Disclosure Document”) disclosing, to the extent not previously publicly disclosed, the PIPE investments related hereto, all material terms of the Transaction and any other material, non-public information that Ignyte, or any of its officers, employees or agents on behalf of Ignyte, has provided to the Investor at any time prior to the filing of the Disclosure Document. From and after the disclosure of the Disclosure Document, the Investor shall no longer be subject to any confidentiality or similar obligations under any current agreement, whether written or oral, with Ignyte or any of its affiliates, and, to the knowledge of Ignyte, the Investor shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information received from Ignyte or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents. All press releases or other public communications relating to the transactions contemplated hereby between Ignyte and the Investor, and the method of the release for publication thereof, shall be subject to the prior approval of (i) Ignyte, and (ii) the Investor to the extent such press release or public communication references the Investor or its affiliates or investment advisers by name or any trademark owned by the Investor, its affiliates or its investment advisers. The restriction in this Section 13 shall not apply to the extent the public announcement is required by applicable securities law, any governmental authority or stock exchange rule; provided, that in such an event, the applicable party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other party in advance as to its form, content and timing.

14. Notices. All notices and other communications among the parties shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when delivered in person, (ii) when delivered after posting in the United States mail having been sent registered or certified mail return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) when delivered by FedEx or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or (iv) when delivered by email (in each case in this clause (iv), solely if receipt is confirmed, but excluding any automated reply, such as an out-of-office notification), addressed as follows:
