Each Unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), one warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase three-quarters (3/4) of a share of the Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share, all as more fully described in the Company’s final Prospectus, dated _________, 2020 (“Prospectus”), comprising part of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-[•]) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Registration Statement”), declared effective on _____________, 2020 (“Effective Date”).

WHEREAS, the Sponsor has agreed as a condition of the sale of the Units to deposit all of the Insider Shares (as defined in the Prospectus), in escrow as hereinafter provided.

WHEREAS, the Company may issue shares of Common Stock to its employees (“Incentive Shares”) who shall contribute such Incentive Shares to a newly formed Delaware limited liability company that is managed by the Manager of the Sponsor and whose sole members are such Company employees (“Incentive LLC”) and as a condition of such sale and contribution of shares of Common Stock to deposit all of the Incentive Shares (collectively, together with the Insider Shares, “Escrow Shares”), in escrow as hereinafter provided.

WHEREAS, the Company and the Sponsor desire that the Escrow Agent accept the Escrow Shares, in escrow, to be held and disbursed as hereinafter provided.

IT IS AGREED:

1. Appointment of Escrow Agent. The Company and the Sponsor hereby appoint the Escrow Agent to act in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to act in accordance with and subject to such terms.

2. Deposit of Escrow Shares. On or prior to the date hereof, the Sponsor delivered to the Escrow Agent certificates representing the Insider Shares, together with applicable share powers, to be held and disbursed subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Following the date here, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent certificates representing any Incentive Shares, together with applicable share powers, to be held and disbursed subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Company and the Sponsor acknowledge that the certificate(s) representing the Escrow Shares are legended to reflect the deposit of such Escrow Shares under this Agreement.

3. Disbursement of the Escrow Shares.

3.1 The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Shares during the period (the “Escrow Period”) commencing on the date hereof and (i) for 50% of the Escrow Shares, ending on the earlier of (x) six months after the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination (as described in the Registration Statement, hereinafter a “Business Combination”) and (y) the date on which the closing price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after the Company’s initial Business Combination and (ii) for the remaining 50% of the Escrow Shares, ending six months after the date of the consummation of an initial Business Combination. The Company shall promptly provide notice of the consummation of a Business Combination to the Escrow Agent. Upon completion of the Escrow Period, the Escrow Agent shall disburse such amount of the Escrow Shares (and any applicable share power) to the Sponsor and Incentive LLC, as applicable; provided, however, that if the Escrow Agent is notified by the Company pursuant to Section 6.7 hereof that the Company is being

liquidated at any time during the Escrow Period, then the Escrow Agent shall promptly destroy the certificates representing the Escrow Shares; provided further, however, that if, within six months after the Company consummates an initial Business Combination, the Company (or the surviving entity) subsequently consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the shareholders of such entity having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property, then the Escrow Agent will, upon receipt of a notice executed by the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer or other authorized officer of the Company, in form reasonably acceptable to the Escrow Agent, certifying that such transaction is then being consummated or such conditions have been achieved, as applicable, release the Escrow Shares to the Sponsor and Incentive LLC, as applicable. The Escrow Agent shall have no further duties hereunder after the disbursement or destruction of the Escrow Shares in accordance with this Section 3.1.

3.2 Notwithstanding Section 3.1, if the Underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,500,000 Units of the Company in full within 45 days of the date of the Prospectus (as described in the Underwriting Agreement), the Sponsor agrees that the Escrow Agent shall return to the Company for cancellation, at no cost, the number of Escrow Shares determined by multiplying (a) the product of (i) 375,000 multiplied by (ii) a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is 1,500,000 minus the number of shares of Common Stock purchased by the Underwriters upon the exercise of their over-allotment option, and (ii) the denominator of which is 1,500,000. The Company shall promptly provide notice to the Escrow Agent of the expiration or termination of the Underwriters’ over-allotment option and the number of Units, if any, purchased by the Underwriters in connection with their exercise thereof.

4. Rights of Sponsor and Incentive LLC in Escrow Shares.

4.2 Dividends and Other Distributions in Respect of the Escrow Shares. During the Escrow Period, all dividends payable in cash with respect to the Escrow Shares shall be paid to the Sponsor and Incentive LLC, as applicable, but all dividends payable in stock or other non-cash property (“Non-Cash Dividends”) shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent to hold in accordance with the terms hereof. As used herein, the term “Escrow Shares” shall be deemed to include the Non-Cash Dividends distributed thereon, if any.
