[●], 2024
Mountain Lake Acquisition Corp.
930 Tahoe Blvd STE 802 PMB 45
Incline Village, NV 89451
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Mountain Lake Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), a blank check company newly incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”), intends to register its securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), in connection with its initial public offering (“IPO”). The Company currently anticipates selling units (“Units”) in the IPO, each comprising of one Class A ordinary share (“Ordinary Share”) and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Ordinary Share (each, a “Right”).
The undersigned hereby commits to purchase an aggregate of 745,000 units of the Company (the “Initial Private Units”), each unit consisting of one Ordinary Share (the “Private Shares”) and one Right (the “Private Rights”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per unit and an aggregate purchase price of $7,450,000 (the “Initial Purchase Price”). Additionally, if the underwriters in the IPO (the “Underwriters”) exercise their over-allotment option in full or in part, the undersigned further commits to purchase up to an additional 60,000 units (the “Additional Private Units” and together with the Initial Private Units, the “Private Units”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per unit, for an aggregate additional purchase price of up to $600,000 (the “Over-Allotment Purchase Price” and together with the Initial Purchase Price, the “Purchase Price”). The undersigned shall pay, at least one (1) business day prior to the closing date of the IPO (the “IPO Closing Date”), the Initial Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to accounts designated by the Company, including to the trust account (the “Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, in accordance with the Company’s wiring instructions. On the IPO Closing Date, subject to receipt of funds pursuant to the immediately prior sentence, the Company shall effect delivery of the Initial Private Units to the undersigned in book-entry form.
Simultaneously with the consummation of all or any part of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, the undersigned shall pay the pro-rata portion of the Over-Allotment Purchase Price, based upon the amount of the over-allotment option that has been exercised, without interest or deduction, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company or the Trust Account (as set forth in the wire instructions). On each applicable over-allotment closing date, subject to receipt of funds pursuant to the immediately prior sentence, the Company shall effect delivery of the Additional Private Units to the undersigned in book-entry form.
The undersigned agrees that if the size of the IPO is increased or decreased for any reason, the amount of the undersigned’s investment will be either increased or decreased, as applicable, so that the undersigned’s percentage of the aggregate investment in Private Units made by the undersigned and other investors of the Company remains the same. If the size of the offering is increased, the undersigned agrees that it will deliver the purchase price for such additional Private Units as promptly as is reasonably practicable following the increase if it is on the IPO Closing Date. If the size of the offering is decreased, the unused portion of the Purchase Price shall be returned to the undersigned.
The consummation of the purchase and issuance of the Initial Private Units and Additional Private Units (if any) shall occur simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO and over-allotment option, respectively. If the Company does not complete the IPO within thirty (30) days from the effective date of the Company’s registration statement filed in connection with the IPO (the “Registration Statement”), the Purchase Price (without interest or deduction) will be returned to the undersigned.
The Private Units will be identical to the Units sold by the Company in the IPO, except that:
| ● | the undersigned agrees to vote the Private Shares in favor of any proposed Business Combination; |
| ● | the undersigned agrees not to seek conversion, or seek to sell such shares in any tender offer, in connection with any amendment to the Company’s memorandum and articles of association or any proposed Business Combination with respect to the Private Shares; |
| ● | the Private Units and underlying securities will not be transferable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination (subject to certain exceptions described in the Registration Statement); |
| ● | the Private Units and underlying securities will have customary registration rights, pursuant to a registration rights agreement on terms agreed upon by the Company and the undersigned to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement); |
| ● | the undersigned will not participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to the Private Units or the underlying securities (but will participate in liquidation distributions with respect to any Units or Ordinary Shares purchased by the undersigned in the IPO or in the open market after the IPO) if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination; and |
| ● | the Private Units and underlying securities will include any additional terms or restrictions as is customary in other similarly structured blank check company offerings or as may be reasonably required by the Underwriters in order to consummate the IPO, which terms or restrictions will be described in the Registration Statement. |
