NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and Subscribers hereby agree as follows:

1. Agreement to Subscribe

1.1. Purchase and Issuance of the Units. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Subscribers hereby agree to purchase from the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to sell to Subscribers, on the Closing Date (as defined below), an aggregate of 515,000 Units (or 560,000 Units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) in consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price (as defined below). On the Closing Date, the Company shall, at its option, deliver to Subscribers the certificates representing the Securities purchased or effect such delivery in book-entry form.

1.2. Purchase Price. Subscribers shall pay $5,150,000 (or $5,600,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) (the “Purchase Price”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds or by such other method as may be reasonably acceptable to the Company and I-Bankers, to the trust account (the “Trust Account”) at a financial institution to be chosen by the Company, maintained by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee (“AST”), one (1) business day prior to the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement or at such time as the Company and I-Bankers agree. It is agreed that Sponsor will be responsible for $4,250,000 (or $4,700,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) of such Purchase Price and I-Bankers will be responsible for $900,000 of such Purchase Price.

Date”). The closing of such Units shall take place at the offices of Shearman & Sterling LLP, Bank of America Tower, 800 Capital Street, Suite 2200, Houston, Texas 77002, or such other place as may be agreed upon by the parties hereto.

1.7 Termination. This Agreement and each of the obligations of the undersigned shall be null and void and without effect if a Closing does not occur prior to ______ __, 202_.

1.8 FINRA. I-Bankers acknowledges and agrees that the Units and their component parts and the related registration rights will be deemed compensation by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and will therefore, pursuant to Rule 5110(e) of the FINRA Manual, be subject to lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of effectiveness or commencement of sales in the IPO, subject to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2). Additionally, the Units and their component parts and the related registration rights held by I-Bankers may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated during the foregoing 180 day period following the effective date of the Registration Statement except to any underwriter or selected dealer participating in the IPO and the bona fide officers or partners of I-Bankers and any such participating underwriter or selected dealer. Additionally, the Units and their component parts and the related registration rights held by I-Bankers will not be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of such securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of effectiveness or commencement of sales in the IPO. Additionally, I-Bankers may not exercise demand or piggyback rights with respect to the Units and their components parts after five (5) and seven (7) years, respectively, from the effective date of the Registration Statement and may not exercise demand rights on more than one occasion, all in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110.05.

2. Representations and Warranties of Subscribers

Each of Subscribers (severally, but not jointly) represents and warrants to the Company that:

2.1. No Government Recommendation or Approval. Each of Subscribers understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Company or the Offering of the Securities.

2.2. Accredited Investor. Each of Subscribers represent that it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and acknowledges that the sale contemplated hereby is being made in reliance, among other things, on a private placement exemption to “accredited investors” under the Securities Act and similar exemptions under state law.

2.3. Intent. Each of Subscribers is purchasing the Securities solely for investment purposes, for such Subscriber’s own account (and/or for the account or benefit of its members or affiliates, as permitted, pursuant to the terms of an agreement (the “Insider Letter”) to be entered into with respect to the Securities between, among others, each of Subscribers and the Company, as described in the Registration Statement), and not with a view to the distribution thereof and each of Subscribers has no present arrangement to sell the Securities to or through any person or entity except as may be permitted under the Insider Letter. Subscribers shall not engage in hedging transactions with regard to the Securities unless in compliance with the Securities Act.

2.4. Restrictions on Transfer. Each of Subscribers acknowledges and understands the Units are being offered in a transaction not involving a public offering in the United States within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and, if in the future each of Subscribers decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Securities, such Securities may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only (A) pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, (B) pursuant to an exemption from registration under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, if available, or (C) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state or any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Subscribers acknowledges and understands the Securities are subject to transfer restrictions as described in Section 8 hereof. Each of Subscribers agrees that if any transfer of its Securities or any interest therein is proposed to be made, as a condition precedent to any such transfer, a Subscriber may be required to deliver to the Company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company with respect to such transfer. Absent registration or another available exemption from registration, each of Subscribers agrees it will not resell the Securities (unless otherwise permitted pursuant to the Insider Letter, as described in the Registration Statement). Each of Subscribers further acknowledges that because 

the Company is a shell company, Rule 144 may not be available to Subscribers for the resale of the Securities until the one year anniversary following consummation of the initial Business Combination of the Company, despite technical compliance with the requirements of Rule 144 and the release or waiver of any contractual transfer restrictions.

2.5. Sophisticated Investor.

(i) Each of Subscribers is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Securities.

(ii) Each of Subscribers is aware that an investment in the Securities is highly speculative and subject to substantial risks because, among other things, the Securities are subject to transfer restrictions and have not been registered under the Securities Act and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Each of Subscribers is able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time.

2.6. Independent Investigation. Each of Subscriber, in making the decision to purchase the Units, has relied upon an independent investigation of the Company and has not relied upon any information or representations made by any third parties or upon any oral or written representations or assurances from the Company, its officers, directors or employees or any other representatives or agents of the Company, other than as set forth in this Agreement. Each of Subscribers is familiar with the business, operations and financial condition of the Company and has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from the Company’s officers and directors concerning the Company and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Units and has had full access to such other information concerning the Company as such Subscriber has requested. Each of Subscribers confirms that all documents that it has requested have been made available and that such Subscriber has been supplied with all of the additional information concerning this investment which such Subscriber has requested.

2.7 Organization and Authority. Each of Subscribers is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and it possesses all requisite power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

2.8. Authority. This Agreement has been validly authorized, executed and delivered by Subscribers and is a valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the general principles of equity and to bankruptcy or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

2.9. No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by Subscribers of the transactions contemplated hereby do not violate, conflict with or constitute a default under (i) Subscribers’ respective charter documents, (ii) any agreement or instrument to which Subscribers are a party or (iii) any law, statute, rule or regulation to which Subscribers are subject, or any agreement, order, judgment or decree to which Subscribers are subjects.

2.10. No Legal Advice from Company. Each of Subscribers acknowledges it has had the opportunity to review this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other agreements entered into between the parties hereto with each of Subscribers’ own legal counsel and investment and tax advisors. Except for any statements or representations of the Company made in this Agreement and the other agreements entered into between the parties hereto, each of Subscribers is relying solely on such review, counsel and advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its representatives or agents for legal, tax or investment advice with respect to this investment, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the securities laws of any jurisdiction.

2.11. Reliance on Representations and Warranties. Each of Subscribers understands the Units are being offered and sold to Subscribers in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements under the Securities Act, and analogous provisions in the laws and regulations of various states, and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Subscribers set forth in this Agreement in order to determine the applicability of such provisions.  

2.12. No General Solicitation. Each of Subscribers is not subscribing for the Units as a result of or subsequent to any general solicitation or general advertising, including but not limited to any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or presented at any seminar or meeting or in a registration statement with respect to the IPO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

2.13. Legend. Each of Subscribers acknowledges and agrees the certificates evidencing each of the Securities shall bear a restrictive legend (the “Legend”), in form and substance substantially as set forth in Section 4 hereof.
