Re: | Forward Purchase Contract |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The initial public offering (the IPO) of PTK Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the Company) is expected, as of the date hereof, to generate aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $100,000,000 (or $115,000,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full by the underwriters) by selling Units, each currently contemplated to consist of one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the Shares), and one redeemable warrant to acquire 1⁄2 of a Share, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. The precise structure of the Units will be determined by the Company prior to the IPO. We acknowledge that Primerose Development Group Ltd. (the Subscriber or you) have/has expressed an intention to purchase up to 1,000,000 Units in the IPO (the IPO Securities) which Units will include up to 1,000,000 Shares (the IPO Shares).
We are pleased to hereby accept the offer you have made to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 Shares, consisting of the IPO Shares and a number of shares equal to the difference between 1,000,000 and the number of IPO Shares actually purchased in the IPO (the Additional Shares). You agree that you will continue to hold the IPO Shares and any Additional Shares on the date of the Subscription Notice (as defined below) in connection with the consummation of the Companys initial business combination (the Business Combination) and will not redeem any IPO Shares. The number of Shares and warrants being purchased hereunder being the sum of the IPO Securities and the Additional Shares, collectively, are hereinafter referred to as the Securities. The terms on which the Company is willing to sell the Securities to the Subscriber, and the Companys and the Subscribers agreements regarding such Securities, are set forth in this agreement (this Agreement) and are as follows:
1. Purchase of the Securities. The purchase price for the Additional Shares (the Purchase Price) shall be $10.00 multiplied by the number of Additional Shares purchased hereunder, for an aggregate Purchase Price of, when considered together with any IPO Securities purchased by the Subscriber, up to $10,000,000. In exchange for the Purchase Price, the Company agrees to sell the Additional Shares to the Subscriber and the Subscriber hereby agrees to purchase the Additional Shares either in a private placement from the Company or in open market purchases arranged by the Company or its advisors, subject to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or any other form of electronic delivery, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.
6.14 Construction. The words include, includes, and including will be deemed to be followed by without limitation. Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words this Agreement, herein, hereof, hereby, hereunder, and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.
7. Indemnification. Each party shall indemnify the others against any reasonable loss, cost or damages (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) incurred as a result of such partys breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement.

In the event the Subscriber has any Claim against the Company under this Agreement, the Subscriber shall pursue such Claim solely against the Company and its assets outside the Trust
