(a)            From the date hereof until the Expiration Time, at any meeting of the holders of SPAC Ordinary Shares, however called (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), or in any other circumstance in which the vote, consent or other approval of the holders of SPAC Ordinary Shares is sought, each Insider shall (x) appear at each such meeting, in person or by proxy, or otherwise cause all of its SPAC Ordinary Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum and (y) vote (or cause to be voted), or execute and deliver a written consent (or cause a written consent to be executed and delivered) covering, all of its SPAC Ordinary Shares:

(i)           in favor of the SPAC Shareholder Approval Matters;

(iv)         against any proposal, action or agreement that would (A) materially impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify any provision of this Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement or the Transactions, (B) result in a breach in any respect of any covenant, representation, warranty or any other obligation or agreement of SPAC under the Business Combination Agreement or (C) result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VII of the Business Combination Agreement not being fulfilled.

(b)           From the date hereof until the Expiration Time, each Insider hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees it, as applicable, shall:

(i)           not commit or agree to take any action inconsistent with the foregoing covenants set forth in Section 1.04(a); and

3

(ii)          not redeem any SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares owned by the Insider in connection with the exercise of Redemption rights in connection with the Transactions or an Extension (if any).

No Insider shall commit or agree to take any action inconsistent with the foregoing. The obligations under this Section 1.04 shall apply whether or not the SPAC Board or other governing body or any committee or subgroup thereof recommends any of the SPAC Shareholder Approval Matters and regardless of any SPAC Change in Recommendation.

Section 1.05          Sponsor Earnout. Effective as of the Closing, an aggregate of 500,000 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock held by the Sponsor (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not include any of the Sponsor Forfeited Shares or Discretionary Founder Shares (each as defined below)) (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”) will be subject to vesting and will vest upon the first to be satisfied of any of the following conditions:

(a) in the event that the sum of (x) the funds contained in the Trust Account as of immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time, plus (y) the aggregate cash proceeds received by SPAC or Pubco in respect of any Transaction Financing, minus (z) the aggregate amount of cash proceeds that will be required to satisfy the Redemption (and, for the avoidance of doubt, before the payment of any Expenses) equals or exceeds $200,000,000, all of the Sponsor Earnout Shares shall immediately vest;

(b) if, at any time during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing (the “Earnout Period”), the closing price of the Pubco Class A Common Stock as reported on the Stock Exchange is greater than or equal to $15.00 (the “Earnout Price”) for a period of at least 20 days (which need not be consecutive) out of 30 consecutive trading days, all of the Sponsor Earnout Shares shall immediately vest; and

(c) in the event that there is a Sale of Pubco during the Earnout Period, and the holders of Pubco Common Stock receive a Sale Price that is greater than or equal to the Earnout Price, all of the Sponsor Earnout Shares shall immediately vest.

In the event that there is a Sale of Pubco during the Earnout Period, and immediately prior to (but subject to) the consummation of the Sale, the holders of Pubco Common Stock receive a Sale Price that is less than the Earnout Price, (i) if such Sale Price is payable in cash or in the form of privately held securities or other consideration other than publicly tradable securities, then all of the Sponsor Earnout Shares shall be deemed forfeited and cancelled for no consideration or (ii) if such price is payable in the form of publicly tradable securities, then Pubco shall cause the acquiror in such Sale to provide for the conversion of all of the Sponsor Earnout Shares into the kind and amount of such publicly tradable securities receivable upon such Sale of Pubco that the holders of Pubco Common Stock receive in such Sale and shall provide that the Earnout Shares, as so converted, shall remain subject to vesting as set forth in this Section 1.05, with an appropriate adjustment to the Earnout Price to provide to the Sponsor the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

In the event Pubco shall at any time during the Earnout Period pay any dividend on Pubco Common Stock by the issuance of additional shares of Pubco Common Stock, or effect a subdivision, recapitalization, split, or combination, exchange or consolidation of the outstanding Pubco Comon Stock (by reclassification or otherwise) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Pubco Common Stock, then in each such case, in respect of the Sponsor Earnout Shares (i) the number of Sponsor Earnout Shares shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Pubco Common Stock (including any other shares so reclassified as Pubco Common Stock) outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Pubco Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event, and (ii) the Earnout Price set forth in Section 1.05(b) above shall be appropriately adjusted to provide to the Sponsor the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

4

Further, for so long as any Sponsor Earnout Share remains subject to the vesting conditions specified in this Section 1.05, (i) the holder thereof will not be entitled to exercise the voting rights carried by such Sponsor Earnout Share and (ii) the holder thereof will not be entitled to receive any dividends or other distributions in respect of such Sponsor Earnout Share; provided, that any dividends or distributions paid or made in respect of such Sponsor Earnout Share will be retained by Pubco and invested as and to the extent determined by Pubco, and such dividends or distributions (together with any earnings thereon) will be paid or made to the holder of such Sponsor Earnout Share only when and to the extent that such Sponsor Earnout Share vests in accordance with this Section 1.05.

If, upon the expiration of the Earnout Period, the vesting of the Sponsor Earnout Shares has not occurred in accordance with this Section 1.05, then the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be forfeited to Pubco for no consideration, and no Person (other than Pubco) will have any further right with respect thereto.

Sponsor agrees that it shall not Transfer any Sponsor Earnout Shares, until after such shares vest, if at all, in accordance with this Section 1.05. Sponsor acknowledges and agrees that during the Earnout Period, until such Sponsor Earnout Shares become fully vested in accordance with Section 1.05, Pubco shall issue stop-transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to the applicable Sponsor Earnout Shares and Pubco shall not be required to (a) transfer on its books any Sponsor Earnout Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of this Agreement or (b) treat as owner of such shares, or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends, to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such shares have been so transferred.

As used herein:

Sale” means (a) any transaction or series of related transactions (whether by merger, consolidation, tender offer, exchange offer, stock transfer or otherwise) that (A) results in any Person acquiring beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, of equity securities of Pubco that represent more than 50% of (i) the issued and outstanding Pubco Common Stock or the equity interests of the Company Surviving Subsidiary or (B) in which holders of equity securities of Pubco own less than 50% of the surviving entities’ (or direct or indirect parent of surviving entities’) equity securities immediately after the transaction, or (ii) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting equity securities of Pubco, or (b) any sale, transfer or other disposition to a Person of all or substantially all of the assets (by book value), of Pubco and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis based on the most recent annual audited financial statements of Pubco (other than licensing, partnering or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business).

Sale Price” means the price per share of Pubco Common Stock paid or payable to the holders of outstanding Pubco Common Stock in a Sale, inclusive of the net present value of any contingent deferred purchase price or earnouts; provided that, if and to the extent such price is payable in whole or in part in the form of consideration other than cash, the price for such non-cash consideration shall be with respect to any securities, (i) pursuant to the methodology of valuation of securities in the definitive agreement for the Sale, (ii) if such methodology is not available, the volume weighted average of the closing prices of the sales of such securities on all securities exchanges on which such securities are then listed over a period of at least 20 days (which days need not be consecutive) out of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date of determination, or (iii) in the absence of (i) and if the information contemplated by the preceding clause (ii) is not practically available, then the fair value of such securities as of the date of valuation as determined by an independent, nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by the board of directors of Pubco, on the basis of an orderly sale to a willing, unaffiliated buyer in an arm’s-length transaction, taking into account all factors determinative of value as the investment banking firm determines relevant (and giving effect to any transfer Taxes payable in connection with such sale).

SPAC is authorized to deliver any notices required to be delivered to its transfer agent and take such further actions in order to accept, terminate and/or cancel any Sponsor Forfeited Shares and Discretionary Founder Shares that have been forfeited as provided in this Section 1.06.

The Law of the State of New York shall govern (a) all claims or matters related to or arising from this Agreement (including any tort or non-contractual claims) and (b) any questions concerning the construction, interpretation, validity and enforceability of this Agreement, and the performance of the obligations imposed by this Agreement, in each case without giving effect to any choice-of-law or conflict-of-law rules or provisions (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

Section 3.03          Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)            Each party hereto submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of first, the New York Supreme Court, Commercial Division, located in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, in the State of New York or if such court declines jurisdiction, then to any court of the State of New York or the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York, in any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, agrees that all claims in respect of the Proceeding shall be heard and determined in any such court and agrees not to bring any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other courts. Nothing in this Section 3.03, however, shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law or at equity. Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any Proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law or at equity.

(b)           WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES (WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS OR THE RELATIONSHIPS ESTABLISHED AMONG THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT SUCH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT SUCH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.

Section 3.04          Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that, except in connection with a Permitted Transfer, no party hereto will assign its rights or delegate any or all of its obligations under this Agreement, including by merger, consolidation, operation of law or otherwise, without the express prior written consent of the other parties hereto. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 3.04 shall be void, in addition to constituting a material breach of this Agreement.

Section 3.05          Specific Performance. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that irreparable injury for which monetary damages (even if available) would not be an adequate remedy would occur if any party hereto does not perform any provision of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breaches such provisions. Accordingly, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, prior to a valid termination, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches by the parties hereto of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, including its failure to take all actions required under the express terms of this Agreement to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and that prior to a valid termination of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall be entitled to specific performance of such agreements and covenants in such event and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of any such injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other party hereto has an adequate remedy at Law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity. Each party hereto hereby waives any requirement to provide any bond or other security in connection with such order or injunction.

10

Section 3.06          Amendments, Waivers and Remedies. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument or instruments in writing and mutually signed by each of the parties hereto. Each party hereto may, only by an instrument in writing, waive compliance by any other party hereto with any term or provision of this Agreement on the part of such other party hereto to be performed or complied with. The waiver by a party hereto of a breach of any term or provision of this Agreement by another party hereto shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. Neither any failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or in requiring satisfaction of any condition herein nor any course of dealing shall constitute a waiver of or prevent any party hereto from enforcing any right or remedy or from requiring satisfaction of any condition. No notice to or demand on a party hereto waives or otherwise affects any obligation of that party hereto or impairs any right of the party hereto giving such notice or making such demand, including any right to take any action without notice or demand not otherwise required by this Agreement. No exercise of any right or remedy with respect to a breach of this Agreement shall preclude exercise of any other right or remedy, as appropriate to make the aggrieved party whole with respect to such breach, or subsequent exercise of any right or remedy with respect to any other breach. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon any party hereto, and the exercise by a party hereto of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no party hereto shall seek, nor shall any party hereto be liable for, punitive or exemplary damages under any tort, contract, equity or other legal theory with respect to any breach (or alleged breach) of this Agreement or any provision hereof or any matter otherwise relating hereto or arising in connection herewith.

Section 3.07          Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such a determination, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 3.08          Notices. Any notice or other communication hereunder shall be sent in writing, addressed as specified below, and shall be deemed given: (a) if by hand or recognized courier service, by 5:00 PM on a Business Day, addressee’s day and time, on the date of delivery, and otherwise on the first Business Day after such delivery; (b) if by email, on the date of transmission; or (c) five (5) days after mailing by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.
