(b)    Prior to the Effective Time, SPAC shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the Company Stockholders and for exchange in accordance with this Section 2.6 through the Exchange Agent, evidence of Class A Common Stock in book-entry form representing the portion of the Merger Consideration issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(vii) in exchange for the Company Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. All shares in book-entry form representing the portion of the Merger Consideration issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(vii) deposited with the Exchange Agent shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Exchange Fund”. SPAC shall cause the Exchange Agent pursuant to irrevocable instructions, to deliver that portion of the Merger Consideration consisting of SPAC Common Stock out of the Exchange Fund in accordance with this Agreement. Except as contemplated by this Section 2.6 hereof, the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(c)    Each Company Stockholder whose Company Shares have been converted into the right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(vii) shall be entitled to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration to which he, she or it is entitled on the date provided in Section 2.6(d) upon (i) surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss, in lieu thereof, in the form required by the Exchange Agent) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any documents or agreements required by the Exchange Agent) to the Exchange Agent, or (ii) delivery of an “agent’s message” in the case of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any documents or agreements required by the Exchange Agent) to the Exchange Agent.

(d)    If any Certificates (or affidavit of loss, in lieu thereof, in the form required by the Exchange Agent) or an “agent’s message”, as applicable, is delivered to the Exchange Agent in accordance with Section 2.6(c) (i) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, then SPAC and the Company shall take all necessary actions to cause the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration to be issued to the applicable Company Stockholder in book-entry form on the Closing Date, or (ii) less than one (1) Business Day prior to or on or after the Closing Date, then SPAC and the Company (or the Surviving Corporation) shall take all necessary actions to cause the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration to be issued to the Company Stockholder in book-entry form within two (2) Business Days after such delivery.

shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer, or such Company Shares in book-entry form shall be properly transferred, and (ii) the Person requesting such consideration pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or similar Taxes required as a result of such consideration being issued to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Company Shares in book-entry form, or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such transfer or similar Taxes have been paid or are not payable.

(f)    No interest will be paid or accrued on the Merger Consideration (or any portion thereof). From and after the Effective Time, until surrendered or transferred, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 2.6, each Company Share (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company Shares cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(viii)) shall solely represent the right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration to which such Company Share is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(vii).

(g)    At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no transfers of Company Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(h)    Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the Company Stockholders twelve (12) months following the Closing Date shall be delivered to SPAC or as otherwise instructed by SPAC, and any Company Stockholder who has not exchanged his, her or its Company Shares for the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.6 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to SPAC for the issuance of the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon. None of SPAC, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates shall be liable to any Person in respect of any consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, unclaimed property, escheat or similar Law. Any portion of the Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed by the Company Stockholders immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of SPAC free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(i)    None of the Exchange Agent, SPAC, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Affiliates shall be liable to any holder of SPAC Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law in accordance with this Section 2.6.

(j)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fractional shares of SPAC Common Stock will be issued, and the number of shares of SPAC Common Stock each holder of shares of SPAC Common Stock or Company Shares, as applicable, is entitled to receive pursuant to Article 2 will be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

SPAC, the Exchange Agent and any of their Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement and any Ancillary Document, such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld under applicable Tax Law; provided, however, that before making any deduction or withholding pursuant to this Section 2.7, other than in connection with any deduction or withholding attributable to either (i) payments that are compensatory in nature or (ii) a failure of the Company to comply with Section 2.6(k)(ii), SPAC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give the Company at least three (3) days prior written notice of any anticipated deduction or withholding to provide the Company with sufficient opportunity to provide any forms or other documentation from the applicable equity holders or take such other steps in order to avoid such deduction or withholding and shall reasonably consult and cooperate with the Company in good faith to attempt to reduce or eliminate any amounts that would otherwise be deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 2.7. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.8.    Dissenting Stockholders. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any Person who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares (the “Dissenting Shares”) pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL shall not be converted into the right to receive such Persons’ portions of the Merger Consideration, but rather the holders of such Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to payment by the Surviving Corporation of the “fair value” of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for, the right to receive the Merger Consideration (for the avoidance of doubt, without any interest thereon), upon proper delivery to the Exchange Agent of such Person’s Certificates (or affidavit of loss, in lieu thereof, in the form required by the Exchange Agent) or an “agent’s message”, as applicable (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any documents or agreements required by the Exchange Agent). The Company shall provide prompt notice to SPAC of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL received by the Company. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, SPAC shall have the opportunity to participate with the Company in

The advancement, indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of the SPAC Parties’ Governing Documents or in other applicable agreements in effect as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall not, during such six (6)-year period, be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Effective Time in any manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time or at any time prior to such time, were directors or

officers of any SPAC Party (the “SPAC D&O Persons”) to receive advancement, be so indemnified, have their liability limited or be exculpated with respect to any act, error or omission occurring on or prior to the Effective Time by reason of the fact that such SPAC D&O Person was a director or officer of any SPAC Party prior to the Effective Time, unless such amendment, repeal or other modification is required by applicable Law. If any claims are made or asserted within such six (6)-year period, all rights in respect of any such claims will continue until the full disposition of all such claims.

(b)    SPAC shall not have any obligation under this Section 5.14 to any SPAC D&O Person when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine (and such determination shall have become final and non-appealable) that the indemnification of such SPAC D&O Person in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

Section 5.15.    Company Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a)    Each Party agrees that (i) all rights to advancement, indemnification, limitations on liability or exculpation now existing in favor of the directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as provided in any indemnification agreements or in the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ Governing Documents in effect as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, in

81

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, during such six (6)-year period, SPAC shall advance, or caused to be advanced, expenses in connection with such indemnification as provided in the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ Governing Documents or other applicable agreements in effect as of the date hereof. The advancement, indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ Governing Documents or in other applicable agreements in effect as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall not, during such six (6)-year period, be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Effective Time in any manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time or at any time prior to such time, were directors or officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Company D&O Persons”) to receive advancement, be so indemnified, have their liability limited or be exculpated with respect to any act, error or omission occurring on or prior to the Effective Time by reason of the fact that such Company D&O Person was a director or officer of the Company prior to the Effective Time, unless such amendment, repeal or other modification is required by applicable Law. If any claims are made or asserted within such six (6)-year period, all rights in respect of any such claims will continue until the full disposition of all such claims.

(b)    None of SPAC, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall have any obligation under this Section 5.15 to any Company D&O Person when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine (and such determination shall have become final and non-appealable) that the indemnification of such Company D&O Person in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

(c)    The Company shall purchase, at or prior to the Effective Time, and SPAC shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, in effect for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, without lapses in coverage, a “tail” policy or policies providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the benefit of those Persons who are currently covered by any comparable insurance policies of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to any acts, errors or omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Time (the “Company D&O Tail Policy”). Such Company D&O Tail Policy shall provide coverage on terms (with respect to coverage and amount) that are substantially the same as (and no less favorable in the aggregate to the insured than) the coverage provided under the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay a premium for such “tail” policy or policies in excess of three hundred seventy-five percent (375%) of the most recent premium paid by the Company or its Subsidiary prior to the Effective Time and, if the requisite cover is not available for such a premium, the Company shall purchase the maximum coverage available for three hundred seventy-five percent (375%) of the most recent premium paid by the Company prior to the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 5.15(c), the Company in its sole discretion, in lieu of purchasing the Company D&O Tail Policy, may choose to maintain (and if so chosen, SPAC shall maintain or cause to be maintained) for a period of six (6) years after the Closing, without any lapses in coverage, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for the benefit

82

of those Persons who are currently covered by any comparable insurance policies of the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to any acts, errors or omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Time. Such insurance policies shall provide coverage on terms (with respect to coverage and amount) that are substantially the same as (and no less favorable in the aggregate to the insured than) the coverage provided under the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d)    If, following the Closing, SPAC (i) shall merge or consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the surviving or continuing corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets as an entity in one or a series of related transactions to any Person, then in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors or assigns of SPAC shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.15.

The members of the SPAC Board are the Persons determined in accordance with Section 5.16(b), Section 5.16(c) and Section 5.16(d), and such other directors mutually approved by SPAC and the Company that satisfy the requirements hereof and of applicable Law.

The Officers are the Persons determined in accordance with Section 5.16(e). In the event that the Parties determine to have a “classified board” (as defined by Nasdaq), the class of each director shall be determined by mutual agreement between SPAC and the Company.

(b)    The two (2) individuals identified on Section 5.16(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedules shall be directors on the SPAC Board immediately after the Effective Time (the “Company Designees”). SPAC shall take all such action within its power as may be necessary or appropriate (including, as applicable, (i) by including the applicable Company Designees’ names on the recommended slate of directors that are up for election at SPAC’s annual meeting of stockholders in SPAC’s proxy statement to its stockholders containing proposals for consideration by stockholders at such meeting and (ii) nominating the Company Designees for election to the SPAC Board) to give effect to the Company’s director designations (and its own designations, pursuant to Section 5.16(c)) as of immediately after the Effective Time.

(g)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.16 to the contrary, in the event that any Person identified, nominated, designated, elected or appointed pursuant to this Section 5.16 is unwilling or unable (whether due to death, disability or otherwise) to serve, then, no later than the later of (i) twenty (20) days prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement or (ii) five (5) Business Days after the Party who so identified, nominated or designated such Person becomes aware of such unwillingness or inability of such Person to serve, such Person may, subject to applicable listing rules of Nasdaq and applicable Law and the consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned), replace such individual with another individual in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 5.16.

Section 5.17.    PIPE Subscriptions.

(a)    Without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned), SPAC shall not (other than changes that are solely ministerial) permit any amendment or modification to be made to, permit any waiver (in whole or

84

in part) of, or provide consent to modify (including consent to terminate), any provision or remedy under, or any replacements of, any of the Subscription Agreements, in each case, other than any assignment or transfer expressly permitted thereby (without any further amendment, modification or waiver to such assignment or transfer provision). Subject to the immediately preceding sentence and in the event that all conditions in the Subscription Agreements have been satisfied, SPAC shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or to cause to be taken, all actions required, necessary or that it otherwise deems to be proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements on the terms described therein.

None of the SPAC Parties may rely on the failure of any

Section 8.7.    Construction; Interpretation. The term “this Agreement” means this Business Combination Agreement together with the Schedules and Exhibits hereto, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated in accordance with the terms hereof. The headings set forth in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. No Party, nor its respective counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Agreement for purposes of construing the provisions hereof, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed according to their fair meaning and not strictly for or against any Party. Unless otherwise indicated to the contrary herein by the context or use thereof (a) the words, “herein,” “hereto,” “hereof” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the Schedules and Exhibits, and not to any particular section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause set forth in this Agreement, (b) masculine gender shall also include the feminine and neutral genders, and vice versa, (c) words importing the singular shall also include the plural, and vice versa, (d) the words “include,” “includes” or “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”, (e) references to “$” or “dollar” or “US$” shall be references to United States dollars, (f) the word “or” is disjunctive but not necessarily exclusive, (g) the words “writing”, “written” and comparable terms refer to printing, typing and other means of reproducing words (including electronic media) in a visible form, (h) the word “day” means calendar day unless Business Day is expressly specified, (i) the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”, (j) all references to Articles, Sections, Exhibits or Schedules are to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules of this Agreement, (k) the

93

words “provided” or “made available” or words of similar import (regardless of whether capitalized or not) shall mean, when used with reference to documents or other materials required to be provided or made available to any SPAC Party, any documents or other materials posted to the Datasite electronic data room maintained by or on behalf of the Company as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, at least one (1) day prior to the date of this Agreement, (l) all references to any Law will be to such Law as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified or re-enacted from time to time, and (m) all references to any Contract are to such Contract as amended or modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof (subject to any restrictions on amendments or modifications set forth in this Agreement). If any action under this Agreement is required to be done or taken on a day that is not a Business Day, then such action shall be required to be done or taken not on such day but on the first succeeding Business Day thereafter.

Section 8.8.    Exhibits and Schedules. All Exhibits and Schedules, or documents expressly incorporated into this Agreement, are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and are hereby made a part hereof as if set out in full in this Agreement. The Schedules shall be arranged in sections and subsections corresponding to the numbered and lettered Sections and subsections set forth in this Agreement. Any item disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedules or in the SPAC Disclosure Schedules corresponding to any Section or subsection of Article 3 (in the case of the Company Disclosure Schedules) or Article 4 (in the case of the SPAC Disclosure Schedules) shall be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to every other Section and subsection of Article 3 (in the case of the Company Disclosure Schedules) or Article 4 (in the case of the SPAC Disclosure Schedules), as applicable, where the relevance of such disclosure to such other Section or subsection is reasonably apparent on the face of the disclosure. The information and disclosures set forth in the Schedules that correspond to the Sections or subsections of Article 3 or 4 may not be limited to matters required to be disclosed in the Schedules, and any such additional information or disclosure is for informational purposes only and does not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the fact that any disclosure on any of the Schedules is not required to be disclosed in order to render the applicable representation or warranty to which it relates true, or that the absence of such disclosure on the Schedules would not constitute a breach of such representation or warranty, (i) shall not be deemed or construed to expand the scope of any representation or warranty hereunder or to establish a standard of materiality disclosure in respect of any representation or warranty or create any covenant and (ii) shall not constitute, or be deemed to be, an admission to any third party concerning such item or an admission of default or breach under any agreement or document.

Section 8.9.    Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and its successors and permitted assigns and, except as provided in Section 5.14 and Section 5.15 and, with respect thereto, this Section 8.9 and Section 8.14, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. The Sponsor shall be an express third-party beneficiary of Section 8.2, Section 8.3 and Section 8.13 and, with respect thereto, this Section 8.9 and Section 8.14. RG shall be an express third-party beneficiary of Section 8.19 and, with respect thereto, this Section 8.9 and Section 8.14.

Section 8.10.    Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable

94

Law, then all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 8.11.    Counterparts; Electronic Signatures; Effectiveness. This Agreement and each Ancillary Document (including any of the Closing deliverables contemplated hereby) may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement or any Ancillary Document (including any of the Closing deliverables contemplated hereby) by e-mail, or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement or any such Ancillary Document or Closing deliverable.

Section 8.12.    Knowledge of Company; Knowledge of SPAC. For all purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “to the Company’s knowledge” and “known by the Company” and any derivations thereof shall mean, as of the applicable date, the actual knowledge of the individuals set forth on Section 8.12 of the Company Disclosure Schedules. For all purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “to SPAC’s knowledge” and “to the knowledge of SPAC” and any derivations thereof shall mean, as of the applicable date, the actual knowledge of the individuals set forth on Section 8.12 of the SPAC Disclosure Schedules. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the individuals set forth on Section 8.12 of the Company Disclosure Schedules or the SPAC Disclosure Schedules shall have any personal Liability or obligations regarding such knowledge.

Section 8.13.    No Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any action for breach of this Agreement or related to the transactions contemplated hereby, may only be made against, the Parties (and then only with respect to the specific obligations of such Parties, as set forth herein), and none of the Representatives of any SPAC Party (including the Sponsor) or the Company (and including the Parties’ stockholders) shall have any Liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including with respect to any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of this Agreement or in respect of any written or oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, as expressly provided herein. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 8.13 shall limit the enforcement of, or recovery under, Ancillary Documents.

Section 8.14.    Extension; Waiver. The Company (prior to the Closing) or the Sponsor (after the Closing) may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the SPAC Parties set forth herein, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the SPAC Parties set forth herein or (c) waive compliance by the SPAC Parties with any of the agreements or conditions set forth herein. SPAC may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the Company set forth herein, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the Company set forth herein or (iii) waive compliance by the Company with any of the agreements or conditions set forth herein. Any agreement on the part of any such Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set

95

forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such Party. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights, powers or privileges hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such rights, powers or privileges, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

Section 8.15.    Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES EACH HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY PROCEEDING (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY ANCILLARY DOCUMENT (OTHER THAN THE EXCLUDED AGREEMENTS, WITH RESPECT TO WHICH, FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, THE FOREGOING APPLIES SOLELY AS AMONG THE PARTIES AND NOT TO ANY OTHER PARTY THERETO), OR (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY DOCUMENT (OTHER THAN THE EXCLUDED AGREEMENTS, WITH RESPECT TO WHICH, FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, THE FOREGOING APPLIES SOLELY AS AMONG THE PARTIES AND NOT TO ANY OTHER PARTY THERETO) OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO OR ANY FINANCING IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES EACH HEREBY AGREE AND CONSENT THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.15.

Section 8.16.    Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the purposes of any Proceeding (a) arising under this Agreement or under any Ancillary Document (other than the Excluded Agreements, with respect to which, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing applies solely as among the Parties and not to any other party thereto), or (b) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document (other than the Excluded Agreements, with respect to which, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing applies solely as among the Parties and not to any other party thereto) or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such Proceeding in any such court, and further irrevocably

96

and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Proceeding (i) arising under this Agreement or under any Ancillary Document (other than the Excluded Agreements, with respect to which, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing applies solely as among the Parties and not to any other party thereto), or (ii) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document (other than the Excluded Agreements, with respect to which, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing applies solely as among the Parties and not to any other party thereto) or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (A) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts as described in this Section 8.16 for any reason, (B) that it or its property is exempt or immune from the jurisdiction of any such court or from any Proceeding commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (C) that (x) the Proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (y) the venue of such Proceeding is improper or (z) this Agreement, or any Ancillary Document (other than the Excluded Agreements, with respect to which, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing applies solely as among the Parties and not to any other party thereto), or the subject matter hereof or thereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each Party agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to such Party’s respective address set forth in Section 8.4 shall be effective service of process for any such Proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may seek the remedies contemplated by Section 8.17 in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 8.17.    Remedies. 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 such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages, and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that (a) the other Parties have an adequate remedy at law, or (b) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity.

Section 8.18.    Trust Account Waiver. Reference is made to the final prospectus of SPAC, filed with the SEC (File No. 333-259491) on October 8, 2021 (the “Prospectus”). The Company acknowledges, agrees and understands that SPAC has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and certain proceeds of the private placement (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of

(d)    SPAC agrees on behalf of itself and the other members of the SPAC Group, (i) to the extent that SPAC or, after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation receives or takes physical possession of any RG Privileged Communications, (A) such physical possession or receipt shall not, in any way, be deemed a waiver by the Company or the Company’s pre-closing stockholders of the privileges or protections described in this Section 8.19, and (B) neither SPAC nor the SPAC Group shall assert any claim that the Company, or the Company’s pre-closing stockholders or any other Person waived the attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection or any other right or expectation of client confidence applicable to any such materials or communications, (ii) not to access or use the RG Privileged Communications, including by way of review of any electronic data, communications or other information, by seeking to have the Company or the Company’s pre-closing stockholders waive the attorney-client or other privilege or otherwise and (iii) not to seek to obtain the RG Privileged Communications from RG so long as such RG Privileged Communications would be subject to a privilege or protection if they were being requested in a proceeding by an unrelated third party.

(e)    To the extent that files or other materials maintained by RG constitute property of its clients, such property rights (and the attorney/client privilege, attorney work-product protection, and the expectation of client confidence with respect thereto) shall survive the Merger and belong to the pre-Closing stockholders of the Company after the Closing, and shall not pass to or be claimed or controlled by the Surviving Corporation or any other member of the SPAC Group, and RG shall have no duty to reveal or disclose to any Person any such files or other materials or any RG Privileged Communications, so long as such files or other materials would be subject to a privilege or protection if they were being requested in a proceeding by an unrelated third party.

Once effective, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act at all times until the

-6-

expiration of the Effectiveness Period (as defined below). In the event that the Company files a Form S-l pursuant to this Section 2.1, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-l to a Form S-3 promptly after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3. The Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall provide that the Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Investors, including the registration of the distribution to its shareholders, partners, members or other affiliates.

2.1.2    Notification and Distribution of Materials. The Company shall promptly notify the Investors in writing of the effectiveness of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and shall furnish to them, without charge, such number of copies of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement (including any amendments, supplements and exhibits), the prospectus contained therein (including each preliminary prospectus and all related amendments and supplements) and any documents incorporated by reference in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or such other documents as the Investors may reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale of the Registrable Securities in the manner described in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement.

2.1.3    Amendments and Supplements. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.1.1 above, the Company shall promptly prepare and file with the Commission from time to time such amendments and supplements to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all the Registrable Securities during the Effectiveness Period (as defined below).

2.1.4    Reduction of Shelf Offering. Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 2.1, in the event the Commission informs the Company (the “Rule 415 Notice”) that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file an amendment or amendments to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement as required by the Commission and/or (ii) withdraw the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”), in either case covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Commission, on Form S-1, Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, the Company shall be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with any publicly available written or oral guidance, comments, requirements or requests of the Commission staff (the “SEC Guidance”), including, without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a

-7-

greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro rata basis, subject to a determination by the Commission that certain Investors must be reduced first based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such Investors. In the event the Company amends the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-l, Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement. If the Company shall not be able to register for resale all of the Registrable Securities on the Resale Shelf Registration Statement within three (3) months following the date of the Company’s receipt of the Commission’s Notice, then, until such Resale Shelf Registration Statement is effective, each of the Investors shall be entitled to demand registration rights pursuant to Section 2.2 below as long as the demand request is a proposal to sell Registrable Securities with an aggregate market price at the time of request of not less than $5,000,000 (the “Shelf Demand Right”). Shelf Demand Rights shall not be counted as Demand Registrations under Section 2.2.

No Investor shall be named as an “underwriter” in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2 without the Investor’s prior written consent; provided that if the Commission requests that an Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, then such Investor will have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, to either (i) have the opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement upon its prompt written request to the Company, in which case the Company’s obligation to register such Investor’s Registrable Securities shall be deemed satisfied or (ii) be included as such in the Registration Statement. Each Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided to (and shall be subject to the approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, of) the Investors prior to its filing with, or other submission to, the Commission.

2.1.5    Notice of Certain Events. The Company shall promptly notify the Investors in writing of any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to, or additional information in connection with, the Resale Shelf Registration Statement required to be prepared and filed hereunder (or prospectus relating thereto). The Company shall promptly notify each Investor, or their representatives, in writing of the filing of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or any prospectus, amendment or supplement related thereto or any post-effective amendment to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and the effectiveness of any post-effective amendment.

2.1.6    Underwritten Takedown. If the Company shall receive a request (a “Takedown Demand”) from the (i) holders of Registrable Securities with an estimated market value of at least $5,000,000 or (ii) the holders of Registrable Securities registered under the Resale Shelf Registration Statement that own in the aggregate at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding Class A Common Stock requesting a registration of at least $5,000,000 (either an “Initiating Holder”) that the Company effect an Underwritten Takedown of all or any portion of the requesting holder’s Registrable Securities covered under the Resale Shelf Registration Statement,

At any time and from time to time after the expiration of any lock-up to which an Investor’s shares are subject, if any, provided compliance by the Investors with Section 3.4, and provided further there is not an effective Resale Shelf Registration Statement available for the resale of all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 (and subject to the right of holders to effect Underwritten Takedowns under Section 2.1), (i) SPAC Investors who hold a majority of the Registrable Securities held by all SPAC Investors or (ii) Intrinsic Investors who hold a majority of the Registrable Securities held by all Intrinsic Investors, may make a written demand for Registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities on Form S-l or any similar long-form Registration or, if then available, on Form S-3. Each registration requested pursuant to this Section 2.2.1 is referred to herein as a “Demand Registration.” Any demand for a Demand Registration shall specify the number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The Company will within five (5) Business Days after receiving such demand, notify all Investors that are holders of Registrable Securities of the demand, and each such holder of Registrable Securities who wishes to include all or a portion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the Demand Registration (each such holder including shares of Registrable Securities in such registration, a “Demanding Holder”) shall so notify the Company within five (5) Business Days after the receipt by the holder of the notice from the Company. Upon any such request, the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in the Demand Registration, subject to Section 2.2.4 and the provisos set forth in Section 3.1.1. The Company shall not be obligated to effect (a) more than two (2) Demand Registration during any twelve-month period (not including any Underwritten Takedown); (b) any Demand Registration at any time there is an effective Resale Shelf Registration Statement on file with the Commission pursuant to Section 2.1 that is not subject to a reduction of registered shares under Section 2.1.4 (and subject to the obligation to effect Underwritten Takedowns as set forth in Section 2.1); or (c) more than three (3) Underwritten Demand Registrations in respect of all Registrable Securities held by SPAC Investors.

-10-

2.2.2    Effective Registration. A Registration will not count as a Demand Registration until the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration has been declared effective and the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, however, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration is interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission or any other governmental agency or court, the Registration Statement with respect to such Demand Registration will be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders thereafter elect to continue the offering; provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated to file a second Registration Statement until a Registration Statement that has been filed is counted as a Demand Registration or is terminated.

2.2.3    Underwritten Demand Registration. If the Demanding Holders so elect and such holders so advise the Company as part of their written demand for a Demand Registration, the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an Underwritten Demand Registration. In such event, the right of any holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Demanding Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such underwriting by the holders initiating the Demand Registration, and subject to the approval of the Company. The parties agree that, in order to be effected, any Underwritten Demand Registration must result in aggregate proceeds to the selling shareholders of at least $5,000,000.

2.2.4    Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Underwritten Demand Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company and the Demanding Holders in writing that, in such Underwriter’s or Underwriters’ opinion, the dollar amount or number of shares of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell and the shares of Class A Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by other shareholders of the Company who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Shares”), then the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the Registrable Securities as to which Demand Registration has been requested by the Demanding Holders (pro rata in accordance with the number of shares that each such person has requested be included in such registration, regardless of the number of shares held by each such person (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause

-11-

(i), the shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), any shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons, as to which “piggy-back” registration has been requested by the holders thereof that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.

2.2.5    Withdrawal. A Demanding Holder shall have the right to withdraw all or any portion of its Registrable Securities included in an Underwritten Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 for any reason or no reason whatsoever upon written notice to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters of its intention to withdraw from such Underwritten Demand Registration prior to the pricing of such Underwritten Demand Registration; provided, however, that such withdrawn amount shall still be considered an Underwritten Demand Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the registration expenses incurred in connection with an Underwritten Demand Registration prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.2.5.

2.3    Piggy-Back Registration.

2.3.1    Piggy-Back Rights. If the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by the Company for its own account or for shareholders of the Company for their account (or by the Company and by shareholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.2.1), other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option, employee stock purchase, or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing shareholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company, (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, (v) effected pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2 (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is addressed in and subject to the rights set forth therein), then the Company shall (x) give written notice of such proposed filing to the holders of Registrable Securities with respect to shares not subject to any lock-up, as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, of the offering, and (y) offer to the holders of Registrable Securities in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of shares of Registrable Securities as such holders may request in writing within five (5) Business Days following receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). The foregoing rights shall not be available to any Investor at such time as (i) there is an effective Resale Shelf Registration Statement available for the resale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is addressed in and subject to the rights set forth in, Section 2.1 and 2.2 hereof and there was no reduction in registered shares as set forth in Section 2.1.4 or (ii) such Registration is solely to be used for the offering of securities by the Company for its own account. The Company shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration, provided compliance by the Investors with Section 3.4, and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to

-12-

be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All holders of Registrable Securities proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an Underwriter or Underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration.

2.3.2    Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Piggy-Back Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Class A Common Stock that the Company desires to sell, taken together with shares of Class A Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been demanded pursuant to written contractual arrangements with persons other than the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder and the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested under this Section 2.3, exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, then the Company shall include in any such registration:

(a)    If the registration is undertaken for the Company’s account, (A) first, the shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities, if any, comprising Registrable Securities, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the terms hereof, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares, Pro Rata; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and

(b)    If the registration is a “demand” registration undertaken at the demand of persons other than either the holders of Registrable Securities or the Company (other than as provided in Section 2.2 that, for the avoidance of doubt, is addressed in and subject to the rights set forth in, Section 2.2 hereof), (A) first, the shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities for the account of the demanding persons that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities, if any, comprising Registrable Securities, Pro Rata, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the terms hereof, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.

-13-

2.3.3    Withdrawal. Any holder of Registrable Securities may elect to withdraw such holder’s request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration by giving written notice to the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, if such offering is pursuant to a Demand Registration, or prior to the public announcement of the offering, if such offering is pursuant to an Underwritten Takedown. The Company (whether on its own determination or as the result of a withdrawal by persons making a demand pursuant to written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred by the holders of Registrable Securities in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration as provided in Section 3.3.

2.3.4    Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Demand registered effected under Section 2.2 hereof.

3.1    Filings; Information. Whenever the Company is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof as expeditiously as reasonably possible, and in connection with any such request:

3.1.1    Filing Registration Statement. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, as expeditiously as possible after receipt of a request for a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1, prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on any form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of all Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep it effective for the Effectiveness Period (as defined below); provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to defer any Demand Registration for up to forty-five (45) days, and any Piggy-Back Registration for such period as may be applicable to deferment of any Demand Registration to which such Piggy-Back Registration relates, in each case if the Company shall furnish to the holders a certificate signed by the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Company Board”), it would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure; provided, further, however, that the Company shall not have the right to exercise the right set forth in the immediately preceding proviso twice, or for more than sixty (60) total calendar days in any 360-day period.

3.1.2    Copies. The Company shall, prior to filing a Registration Statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration, and such holders’ legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case, including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by

3.1.3    Amendments and Supplements. The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until the date on which all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or such securities have been withdrawn (the “Effectiveness Period”).

3.1.4    Notification. After the filing of a Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly, and in no event more than two (2) Business Days after such filing, notify the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement of such filing, and shall further notify such holders promptly and confirm such advice in writing in all events within two (2) Business Days of the occurrence of any of the following: (i) when such Registration Statement becomes effective; (ii) when any post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement becomes effective; (iii) the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission of any stop order (and the Company shall take all actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered); and (iv) any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or any prospectus relating thereto or for additional information or of the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the securities covered by such Registration Statement, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and promptly make available to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement any such supplement or amendment; except that before filing with the Commission a Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference, the Company shall furnish to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement and to the legal counsel for any such holders, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed sufficiently in advance of filing to provide such holders and legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and comment thereon.

3.1.5    Securities Laws Compliance. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may reasonably request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to

-15-

enable the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph or subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction.

The Company shall enter into customary agreements (including, if applicable, an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Company in any underwriting agreement that are made to or for the benefit of any Underwriters, to the extent applicable, shall also be made to and for the benefit of the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement, and the representations, warranties and covenants of the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement in any underwriting agreement that are made to or for the benefit of any Underwriters, to the extent applicable, shall also be made to and for the benefit of the Company.

3.1.7    Comfort Letter. In the event of an Underwritten Takedown or an Underwritten Demand Registration, the Company shall obtain a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an underwritten offering, and a customary “bring-down” thereof, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters, as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating holders.

3.1.8    Opinions and Negative Assurance Letters. In the event of an Underwritten Takedown or an Underwritten Demand Registration, on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to any Registration, the Company shall obtain an opinion and negative assurances letter, each dated such date, of one (1) counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, including an opinion of local counsel if applicable, addressed to the holders, the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to such Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the holders, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the participating holders.

-16-

3.1.11    Records. Upon execution of confidentiality agreements, the Company shall make available for inspection by the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement any Underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement or any Underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, as shall be necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information requested by any of them in connection with such Registration Statement.

Upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3.1.4(iv), or, upon any suspension by the Company, pursuant to a good faith reasonable determination of the board of directors of the Company that the offer or sale of Registrable Securities would require the Company to disclose Adverse Disclosure, each holder of Registrable Securities included in any registration shall immediately discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such holder receives the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3.1.4(iv) or the restriction on the ability of “insiders” to transact in the Company’s securities is removed, as applicable, and, if so directed by the Company, each such holder will deliver to the Company or destroy all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such holder’s possession, of the most recent prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice. The foregoing right to delay or suspend may be exercised by the Company for no longer than sixty (60) days in any consecutive 12-month period.

3.4    Information. The holders of Registrable Securities shall promptly provide such information as may reasonably be requested by the Company, or the managing Underwriter, if any, in connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement, including amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act and in connection with the Company’s obligation to comply with Federal and applicable state securities laws.

3.5    Other Obligations.

3.5.1    At any time and from time to time after the expiration of any lock-up to which such shares are subject, if any, in connection with a sale or transfer of Registrable Securities exempt from registration under the Securities Act or through any broker-dealer transactions described in the plan of distribution set forth within any prospectus and pursuant to the Registration Statement of which such prospectus forms a part, the Company shall, subject to the receipt of customary documentation required from the applicable holders in connection therewith, (i) promptly instruct its transfer agent to remove any restrictive legends applicable to the Registrable Securities being sold or transferred and (ii) cause its legal counsel to deliver the necessary legal opinions, if any, to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under subclause (i). In addition, the Company shall cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by, such holders in connection with the aforementioned sales or transfers.

3.5.2    The stock certificates evidencing the Registrable Securities (and/or book entries representing the Registrable Securities) held by each Investor shall not contain or be subject to any legend restricting the transfer thereof (and the Registrable Securities shall not be subject to any stop transfer or similar instructions or notations) (A) while a Registration Statement covering the sale or resale of such securities is effective under the Securities Act, or (B) if such Investor provides customary paperwork to the effect that it has sold such shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (C) if such Registrable Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1) as set forth in customary non-affiliate paperwork provided by such Investor, or (D) if at any time on or after the

-18-

date that is one year after the Form 10 Disclosure Filing Date such Investor certifies that it is not an affiliate of the Company and that such Investor’s holding period for purposes of Rule 144 in respect of such Registrable Securities is at least six (6) months, or (E) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) as determined in good faith by counsel to the Company or set forth in a legal opinion delivered by nationally recognized counsel to the Investor (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). The Company agrees that following the date that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission or at such time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met or such legend is otherwise no longer required, it will, no later than two (2) Business Days following the delivery by an Investor to the Company or its transfer agent of a certificate representing any Registrable Securities issued with a restrictive legend (or, in the case of Registrable Securities represented by book entries, delivery by an Investor to the Company or its transfer agent of a legend removal request), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Investor a certificate or, at the request of such Investor, deliver or cause to be delivered such Registrable Securities to such Investor by crediting the account of such Investor’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, in each case free from all restrictive and other legends and stop transfer or similar instructions or notations. If any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met at the time of issuance of any Registrable Securities (e.g., upon exercise of warrants), then such securities shall be issued free of all legends. Each Investor shall have the right to pursue any remedies available to it hereunder, or otherwise at law or in equity, including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief, with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Class A Common Stock without legend as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

3.5.3    As long as Registrable Securities remain outstanding, the Company shall (a) cause the Class A Common Stock to be eligible for clearing through DTC, through its DWAC system; (b) be eligible and participating in the Direct Registration System (DRS) of DTC with respect to the Class A Common Stock; (c) ensure that the transfer agent for the Class A Common Stock is a participant in, and that the Class A Common Stock is eligible for transfer pursuant to, DTC’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (or successor thereto); and (d) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Class A Common Stock to not at any time be subject to any DTC “chill,” “freeze” or similar restriction with respect to any DTC services, including the clearing of shares of Common Stock through DTC, and, in the event the Class A Common Stock becomes subject to any DTC “chill,” “freeze” or similar restriction with respect to any DTC services, use its reasonable best efforts to cause any such “chill,” “freeze” or similar restriction to be removed at the earliest possible time.

4.1    Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Investor and each other holder of Registrable Securities, and each of their respective officers, employees, affiliates, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents, and each person, if any, who controls an Investor and each other holder of Registrable Securities (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each, an “Investor Indemnified Party”), from and against any expenses, losses, judgments, claims, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, (including reasonable and documented costs of investigation and legal expenses and any indemnity and contribution

-19-

payments made to underwriters) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or allegedly untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, or arising out of or based upon any omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration; and the Company shall promptly reimburse the Investor Indemnified Party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Investor Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending any such expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability is finally judicially determined to have arisen out of or resulted from any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing, by such selling holder expressly for use therein or to the extent related to any selling holder’s violation of the federal securities laws (including Regulation M) or failure to sell the Registrable Securities in accordance with the plan of distribution contained in the prospectus.

4.2    Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each selling holder of Registrable Securities will, in the event that any Registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held by such selling holder, indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law the Company, each of its directors and officers, and each other selling holder of Registrable Securities and each other person, if any, who controls such other selling holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities, only insofar as such losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, if the statement or omission was made expressly in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such selling holder in writing expressly for use therein, or (ii) such selling holder’s failure to sell the Registrable Securities in accordance with the plan of distribution contained in the prospectus, and shall reimburse the Company, its directors and officers, and each other selling folder or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigation or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Each selling holder’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received by such selling holder upon the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligations.

4.3    Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Sections 4.1 or 4.2, such person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel, which counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.

4.4    Contribution.

4.4.1    If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

-21-

4.4.2    The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 4.4.1.

4.4.3    The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities that gave rise to such contribution obligation. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

5.1    Rule 144. The Company covenants that it shall timely file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action as the holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon reasonable prior written request, the Company shall deliver to the Investors a customary written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

6.1    Investor Lock-Up. Without limiting the terms of any other Ancillary Document or any other contract, agreement or understanding entered into by any Investor, each Investor agrees that it shall not Transfer any shares of Class A Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable (directly or indirectly) for shares of Class A Common Stock (including New Securities) until the Lock-Up Release Date; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall (i) not apply to any shares of Class A Common Stock purchased by an Investor in the PIPE Financing, (ii) with respect to the Non-Redemption Investors, only apply to shares of Class A Common Stock received by the Non-Redemption Investors pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreements and (iii) with respect to the Sponsor, not apply to the Subject SPAC Equity Securities (as defined in the Sponsor Support Agreement) purchased by the Sponsor in the private placement that closed simultaneously with the Company’s initial public offering provided that such securities are distributed in a Sponsor In-Kind Distribution (as defined in the Sponsor Support Agreement) to its members for no additional consideration following the Closing, in accordance with the terms of the Sponsor Support Agreement. The foregoing restriction is

-22-

expressly agreed to preclude each Investor from engaging in any hedging or other transaction that is designed to or that reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of such Investor’s shares of Class A Common Stock even if such shares of Class A Common Stock would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned until the Lock-Up Release Date. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include without limitation any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to any of the Investor’s shares of Class A Common Stock or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from such shares of Class A Common Stock. The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to Transfers made: (i) pursuant to a bona fide gift or charitable contribution; (ii) by will or intestate succession upon the death of an Investor; (iii) to any Permitted Transferee; (iv) pursuant to a court order or settlement agreement related to the distribution of assets in connection with the dissolution of marriage or civil union; (v) in the case of any Investor that is not a natural person, pro rata to the direct or indirect partners, members or shareholders of an Investor or any related investment funds or vehicles controlled or managed by such persons or their respective affiliates in connection with the liquidation or dissolution thereof; or (vi) in the event of the Company’s completion of a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of its shareholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property; provided that in the case of (i) through (vi), the recipient of such Transfer must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, including the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 6.1.

The foregoing notwithstanding, to the extent any Investor is granted a release or waives from the restrictions contained in this Section 6 prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Release Date, then all Investors shall be automatically granted a release or waiver from the restrictions contained in this Section 6 to the same extent, on substantially the same terms as and on a pro rata basis with, the Investor to which such release or waiver is granted.

8.1    Other Registration Rights and Arrangements. The Company represents and warrants that no person, other than a holder of the Registrable Securities and the investors of the PIPE Financing, has any right to require the Company to register any of the Company’s capital stock for sale or to include the Company’s capital stock in any registration filed by the Company for the sale of capital stock for its own account or for the account of any other person. The parties hereby terminate the Prior Agreements, each of which shall be of no further force and effect and is hereby superseded and replaced in its entirety by this Agreement. The Company shall not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with or violates the rights granted to the holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement and in the event of any conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

8.2    Assignment; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by the Company in whole or in part. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the holders of

-23-

Registrable Securities hereunder may be freely assigned or delegated by such holder of Registrable Securities in conjunction with and to the extent of any permitted transfer of Registrable Securities by any such holder to a Permitted Transferee. This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and the holders of Registrable Securities and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is not intended to confer any rights or benefits on any persons that are not party hereto other than as expressly set forth in Section 4 and this Section 8.2. The rights of a holder of Registrable Securities under this Agreement may be transferred by such a holder to a transferee who acquires or holds Registrable Securities; provided, however, that such transferee has executed and delivered to the Company a properly completed agreement to be bound by the terms of this Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (an “Addendum Agreement”), and the transferor shall have delivered to the Company, no later than fifteen (15) days following the date of the transfer, written notification of such transfer setting forth the name of the transferor, the name and address of the transferee, and the number of Registrable Securities so transferred. The execution of an Addendum Agreement shall constitute a permitted amendment of this Agreement.

8.3    Amendments and Modifications. Upon the written consent of the Company and the Investors of at least a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities at the time in question, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects an Investor, solely in his, her or its capacity as a holder of the shares of capital stock of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from other Investors (in such capacity) shall require the consent of such Investor so affected; provided, further, however, that any waiver, amendment or repeal of the restrictions set forth in Section 6.1 (or of this Section 8.3 in respect of this proviso) shall require the prior written consent of the Sponsor. No course of dealing between any Investor or the Company and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of an Investor or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Investor or the Company. No single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party.

8.4    Term. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the date of this Agreement or (ii) the date as of which there shall be no Registrable Securities outstanding; provided, further, that with respect to any Investor, such Investor will have no rights under this Agreement and all obligations of the Company to such Investor under this Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (x) the date at least one year after the date hereof that such Investor ceases to hold at least one percent (1%) of the Registrable Securities outstanding on the date hereof or (y) if such Investor is a director or an executive officer of the Company, the date such Investor no longer serves as a director or an executive officer of the Company; provided, however, that such termination as to an Investor shall not apply to the following provisions until such Investor no longer holds any Registrable Securities: Sections 3.1.4, 3.1.5, 3.1.10, 3.1.12, 3.1.14, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 8.3, 8.5 and Articles IV and V. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the piggy-back registration rights provided for in Section 2.3 of this Agreement shall terminate no later than the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement.

All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals or other communications (collectively, “Notices”) required or permitted to be given hereunder or that are given with respect to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be personally served, delivered by reputable air courier service with charges prepaid, or transmitted by facsimile or email, addressed as set forth below, or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by written notice. Notice shall be deemed given (i) on the date of service or transmission if personally served or transmitted by email or facsimile; provided, that if such service or transmission is not on a Business Day or is after normal business hours, then such notice shall be deemed given on the next Business Day or (ii) one (1) Business Day after being deposited with a reputable courier service with an order for next-day delivery, to the parties as follows:

FORM OF SPONSOR SUPPORT AGREEMENT

See attached.

Exhibit B

SPONSOR SUPPORT AGREEMENT

This SPONSOR SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of October 30, 2022, is made by and among Phoenix Biotech Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”) as the sole holder of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), of Phoenix Biotech Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“SPAC”), solely for purposes of Section 5 of this Agreement, the other Persons party hereto as “Other SPAC Insiders” set forth on the signature pages hereto (the “Other SPAC Insiders,” and together with the Sponsor, collectively, the “SPAC Insiders”), SPAC, and Intrinsic Medicine, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). The Sponsor, SPAC and the Company shall be referred to herein from time to time collectively as the “Parties.” Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, SPAC, the Company and OM Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), entered into that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Business Combination Agreement”);

WHEREAS, as of the date of this Agreement, the Sponsor owns 4,596,250 shares of Class B Common Stock; and

WHEREAS, the Business Combination Agreement contemplates that the Parties will enter into this Agreement concurrently with the entry into the Business Combination Agreement by the parties thereto, pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor will vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Merger).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, each intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1. Agreement to Vote.

(a)    For so long as this Agreement is in effect, the Sponsor hereby agrees to vote at any meeting of the stockholders of SPAC, and in any action by written resolution of the stockholders of SPAC, all of the Sponsor’s shares of Class B Common Stock (together with any other Equity Securities of SPAC that the Sponsor holds of record or beneficially, as of the date of this Agreement, or of which the Sponsor acquires record or beneficial ownership after the date hereof, collectively, the “Subject SPAC Equity Securities”) in favor of the Required Transaction Proposals, and against any proposal that conflicts or materially impedes or interferes with any Required Transaction Proposals, including any SPAC Acquisition Proposal, or that would adversely affect or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. The Sponsor shall validly execute and deliver to SPAC, on (or effective as of) the fifth (5^th) Business Day following the date that the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is disseminated by SPAC to SPAC’s stockholders (following the date that the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement becomes effective), a properly completed voting proxy in the form distributed by or on behalf of SPAC in favor of the Required Transaction Proposals. In the event of any equity dividend or distribution, or any change in the equity interests of SPAC by reason of any equity dividend or distribution, equity split, recapitalization, combination, conversion, exchange of equity interests or the like prior to the Closing, the term “Subject SPAC Equity Securities” shall be deemed to refer to and include the Subject SPAC Equity Securities as well as all such equity dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of the Subject SPAC Equity Securities may be changed or exchanged or which are received in such transaction.

2.    Waivers.

(a)    The Sponsor hereby waives, subject to, and conditioned upon, the occurrence of the Closing (for himself, herself or itself and for his, her or its, successors, heirs and assigns), to the fullest extent permitted by Law and the Governing Documents of SPAC, and agrees not to assert or perfect, any rights to adjustment or other anti-dilution protections with respect to the rate that the shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Sponsor convert into shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of SPAC in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing waiver does not waive the Sponsor’s rights under Section 4.03 of the SPAC Certificate of Incorporation, that provide that in no event may any Class B Common Stock convert into shares of Class A Common Stock at a ratio that is less than one-for-one.

(b)    The Sponsor hereby waives any and all Redemption Rights in respect to the Required Transaction Proposals and shall not elect to cause SPAC to redeem any Subject SPAC Equity Securities beneficially owned or owned of record by the Sponsor in connection with the Required Transaction Proposals.

(c)    The Sponsor hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distribution of the Trust Account with respect to the Subject SPAC Equity Securities.

3.    Transfer of Shares.

(a)    From the date hereof until the earlier of (i) the Closing or (ii) the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6, the Sponsor hereby agrees that the Sponsor shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) sell, assign, transfer (including by operation of law), place a lien on, pledge, dispose of or otherwise encumber any of his, her or its Subject SPAC Equity Securities or otherwise agree to do any of the foregoing (each, a “Transfer”), (ii) deposit any of the Sponsor’s Subject SPAC Equity Securities into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect to any of the Sponsor’s Subject SPAC Equity Securities that conflicts with any of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, (iii) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect sale, assignment, transfer (including by operation of law) or other disposition of any of the Sponsor’s Subject SPAC Equity Securities, (iv) engage in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to, or which would (either alone or in connection with one or more events or developments (including the satisfaction or waiver of any conditions precedent)), result in a sale or disposition of the Sponsor’s Subject SPAC Equity Securities or (v) take any action that would have the effect of preventing or materially delaying the performance of the Sponsor’s obligations hereunder, except (A) as affirmatively permitted by the Business Combination Agreement or (B) any Transfer that would be permitted pursuant to Section 3(d) of that certain Letter Agreement, dated as of October 5, 2021 (the “Insider Letter”), by and among SPAC and the SPAC Insiders.

(b)    From the Closing until the earlier of (i) the Lock-Up Release Date (as defined below) or (ii) the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6, the Sponsor hereby agrees that the Sponsor shall not, directly or indirectly, Transfer any of the Sponsor’s Subject SPAC Equity Securities; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Transfer (A) to SPAC’s officers or directors, any affiliates or family member of any of SPAC’s officers or directors, any members or partners of the Sponsor or their affiliates, any affiliates of the Sponsor, or any employees of such affiliates; (B) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of one of the individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family, an Affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization; (C) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (D) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (E) by

2

private sales or transfers made in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; and (F) by virtue of the Sponsor’s organizational documents upon liquidation or dissolution of the Sponsor; provided, that any transferee of any Transfer of the type set forth in clauses (A) through (F) must enter into a written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company agreeing to be bound by this Agreement prior to the occurrence of such Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sponsor shall be permitted to distribute those Subject SPAC Equity Securities purchased by it in the private placement that closed simultaneously with the SPAC’s initial public offering to its members for no additional consideration following the Closing (a “Sponsor In-Kind Distribution”); provided, however, that (i) any public disclosure or reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) concerning the Sponsor In-Kind Distribution shall so indicate that such Subject SPAC Equity Securities were distributed to members of the Sponsor for no additional consideration, and (ii) no subsequent sales or transfer of such Subject SPAC Equity Securities prior to the Lock-up Release Date (as defined below) shall be permitted by the recipients of the Sponsor In-Kind Distribution, if such sale or transfer would require any public disclosure or report to be filed with the SEC. The Sponsor shall cause any and all recipients of Subject SPAC Equity Securities pursuant to the Sponsor In-Kind Distribution to agree to the restrictions in the previous sentence and shall permit the Company to rely on and enforce such agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Lock-Up Release Date” means the earliest of (A) 180 days after the date of the Closing and (B) subsequent to the Closing, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30 consecutive trading day period commencing after the Closing, or (y) the date upon completion of a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the public stockholders of SPAC having the right to exchange their SPAC Common Stock for cash, securities or other property.

(c)    In furtherance of the foregoing, SPAC hereby agrees to (i) place a revocable stop order on all Subject SPAC Equity Securities subject to Section 3(a) and Section 3(b), including those which may be covered by a registration statement, and (ii) notify SPAC’s transfer agent in writing of such stop order and the restrictions on such Subject SPAC Equity Securities under Section 3(a) and Section 3(b) and direct SPAC’s transfer agent not to process any attempts by the Sponsor to Transfer any Subject SPAC Equity Securities except in compliance with Section 3(a) and Section 3(b); for the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of SPAC under this Section 3(c) shall be deemed to be satisfied by the existence of any similar stop order and restrictions currently existing on the Subject SPAC Equity Securities.

4.    Other Covenants. The Sponsor hereby agrees to be bound by and subject to (i) Sections 5.3(a) (Confidentiality and Access to Information) and 5.4(a) (Public Announcements) of the Business Combination Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, as if the Sponsor is directly a party thereto, and (ii) Section 5.6(c) (Exclusive Dealing) of the Business Combination Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to SPAC as if the Sponsor is directly a party thereto.

5.    Termination of SPAC Class B Common Stock Lock-up Period. Each SPAC Insider and SPAC hereby agree that effective as of the consummation of the Closing (and not before), Section 3 of the Insider Letter shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“3. Reserved.”

The amendment and restatement of the Insider Letter set forth in this Section 5 shall be void and of no force and effect if the Business Combination Agreement shall be terminated for any reason in accordance with its terms.

3

6.    Termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate, without any notice or other action by any Party, and be void ab initio upon the earlier of (a) the Effective Time; and (b) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms. Upon termination of this Agreement as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, none of the Parties shall have any further obligations or Liabilities under, or with respect to, this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6(b) shall not affect any Liability on the part of any Party for a Willful Breach of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement prior to such termination or Fraud, (ii) Sections 2, 3(b), 5 and 10 (solely to the extent related to the foregoing Sections 2 or 5) shall each survive the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6(a), and (iii) Sections 7, 8, 9 and 10 (solely to the extent related to the following Sections 7 or 9) shall survive any termination of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 6, (x) “Willful Breach” means an intentional and willful breach, or an intentional and willful failure to perform, in each case that is the consequence of an act or omission by a Party with the knowledge that the taking of such act or failure to take such act would cause a breach of this Agreement and (y) “Fraud” means an act or omission by a Party consisting of a false or incorrect representation or warranty expressly set forth in this Agreement with the intent that another Party rely on such representations and warranties, coupled with such other Party’s detrimental reliance on such representations and warranties under circumstances that constitute common law fraud under the Laws of the State of New York. For the avoidance of doubt, “Fraud” does not include any claim for equitable fraud, promissory fraud, unfair dealings fraud, or any torts based on negligence or recklessness.

7.    No Recourse. Except for claims pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement or any other Ancillary Document by any party(ies) thereto against any other party(ies) thereto, each Party agrees that (a) this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any action for breach of this Agreement may only be made against, the Parties, and no claims of any nature whatsoever (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising under or relating to this Agreement, the negotiation hereof or its subject matter, or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be asserted against any non-party affiliate of the Company or SPAC, as applicable (other than the SPAC Insiders named as parties hereto, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein), and (b) none of the Company’s non-party affiliates or SPAC’s non-party affiliates (other than the SPAC Insiders named as parties hereto, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein) shall have any Liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the negotiation hereof or its subject matter, or the transactions contemplated hereby, including with respect to any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of this Agreement or in respect of any written or oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, as expressly provided herein, or for any actual or alleged inaccuracies, misstatements or omissions with respect to any information or materials of any kind furnished in connection with this Agreement, the negotiation hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby.

8.    Fiduciary Duties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) the Sponsor makes no agreement or understanding herein in any capacity other than in the Sponsor’s capacity as a record holder and beneficial owner of the Subject SPAC Equity Securities, and not in the Sponsor’s (or any of its representatives’) capacity as a director, officer or employee of any SPAC Party, and (b) Subject to Section 5.8 (SPAC Stockholder Approval) of the Business Combination Agreement, nothing herein will be construed to limit or affect any action or inaction by the Sponsor or any representative of the Sponsor serving as a member of the board of directors (or other similar governing body) of any SPAC Party or as an officer, employee or fiduciary of any SPAC Party, in each case, acting in such person’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or fiduciary of such SPAC Party.

9.    No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not intended, nor shall be construed, to give any Person, other than the Parties and their respective successors and assigns, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever in connection with the matters governed by this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Parent and the Holders agree as follows:

Section 1.    Agreement to Vote Shares.

(a)    Each Holder, solely in their capacity as a stockholder of the Company, agrees that, unless the Expiration Date (as defined below) has occurred, it shall validly execute and deliver to the Company, within forty eight (48) hours after the date that the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is disseminated by the Company to the Company’s stockholders following the date that the Registration Statement becomes effective, a written consent approving the Business Combination Agreement, the Merger, and any other matters necessary or reasonably requested by the Company for consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement in respect of the Shares. In addition, unless the Expiration Date has occurred, each Holder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that at any

meeting of the holders of Company Shares, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, or in connection with any written consent of the holders of Company Shares, with respect to the Business Combination Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, such Holder shall:

(i)    appear at any such meeting or otherwise cause the Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum; and

(ii)    vote (or cause to be voted) (i) in favor of adoption and approval of the Business Combination Agreement, the Merger, and any other matters necessary or reasonably requested by the Company for consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, and (ii) against any proposal that would constitute a breach thereof or that conflicts or materially impedes or interferes therewith, including any Company Acquisition Proposal, or would adversely affect or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

(b)    Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Parent, each Holder hereby irrevocably appoints Parent or any individual designated by Parent as such Holder’s agent, attorney-in-fact and proxy (with full power of substitution and resubstituting), for and in the name, place and stead of such Holder, up to the Expiration Date, to attend on behalf of such Holder any meeting of the Company Stockholders with respect to the matters described in Section 1(a)(ii), to include the Shares held by such Holder in any computation for purposes of establishing a quorum at any such meeting of the Company Stockholders, to vote (or cause to be voted) such Shares or consent (or withhold consent) with respect to any of the matters described in Section 1(a)(ii) in connection with any meeting of the Company Stockholders or any action by written consent by the Company Stockholders (including the Company Stockholder Written Consent), in each case, only in the event and to the extent that the Holder fails to timely perform or otherwise comply with the covenants, agreements or obligations set forth in Section 1(a). The proxyholder may not exercise the proxy granted pursuant to this Section 1(b) on any matter except those provided in Section 1(a), and each Holder may vote its, his or her Shares on all other matters, subject to the other applicable covenants, agreements and obligations set forth in this Agreement.

(c)    The proxy granted by each Holder pursuant to Section 1(b) (i) will be automatically revoked upon the Expiration Date, (ii) is coupled with an interest sufficient in Law to support, subject to clause (i), an irrevocable proxy and is granted in consideration for Parent entering into the Business Combination Agreement and agreeing to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, and (iii) is a durable proxy and shall survive the bankruptcy, dissolution, death, incapacity or other inability to act by such Holder and shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by such Holder with respect to the Shares held by such Holder. The vote or consent of the proxyholder in accordance with Section 1(b) and with respect to the matters in Section 1(a)(ii) shall control in the event of any conflict between such vote or consent by such proxyholder and a vote or consent by each Holder (or any other Person with the power to vote the Shares held by such Holder) with respect to the matters in Section 1(a)(ii).

(d)    Prior to the Expiration Date, except as expressly set forth herein, no Holder shall enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement (whether written or oral) with any Person to vote or give instructions in any manner inconsistent with this Section 1. Any such vote shall be cast, or consent shall be given, in accordance with such procedures relating thereto so as to ensure that it is duly counted for purposes of determining that a quorum is present and for purposes of recording the results of such vote or consent.

(e)    In the event of any equity dividend or distribution, or any change in the equity interests of the Company by reason of any equity dividend or distribution, equity split, recapitalization, combination, conversion, exchange of equity interests or the like prior to the Closing (including the transactions

2

contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement), the term “Shares” shall be deemed to refer to and include the Shares as well as all such equity dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of the Shares may be changed or exchanged or that are received in such transaction (including the SPAC Common Stock received as result of the consummation of the Merger pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the term “Shares” be deemed to refer to or include any securities issued to any Holder pursuant to any Subscription Agreement.

Section 2.    Transfer of Shares.

(a)    Each Holder agrees that, prior to the Expiration Date, he, she or it shall not sell, assign, transfer (including by operation of law), place a lien on, pledge, dispose of or otherwise encumber any of his, her or its Shares or otherwise agree to do any of the foregoing (collectively, a “Transfer”), except (a) in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities Laws, (b) in compliance with the Governing Documents of the Company (it being understood and agreed than any waiver or consent to any Transfer pursuant to the Governing Documents of the Company shall require the mutual consent of Parent and the Company), (c) in compliance with the Business Combination Agreement and (d) if, prior to such Transfer, each transferee signs a counterpart to this Agreement pursuant to which such transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and to be a “Holder” hereunder; provided that, any subsequent transfer of the Shares by any such transferee shall also be made pursuant to, and in accordance with, all of the provisions of this Section 2 to the same extent as if each such transferee were a Holder. Each Holder shall not, directly or indirectly,

(i)    pledge, encumber or create a Lien on any Shares or enter into any contract, option, commitment or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the foregoing;

(ii)    grant any proxies or powers of attorney or enter into a voting agreement or other arrangement with respect to any of such Holder’s Shares;

(iii)    enter into, or deposit any of such Holder’s Shares into, a voting trust or take any other action which would, or would reasonably be expected to, result in a diminution of the voting power represented by any of such Holder’s Shares; or

(iv)    commit or agree to take any of the foregoing actions.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Expiration Date” shall mean the earliest to occur of (i) the Effective Time, (ii) such date and time as the Business Combination Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Article 7 thereof and (iii) upon mutual written agreement of the Parties.

(b)    From the Effective Time until the earlier of (i) the Lock-Up Release Date (as defined below) or (ii) the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13 (the “Lock-Up Period”), each Holder hereby agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, Transfer any of the Shares (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the SPAC Common Stock received as result of the consummation of the Merger pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Transfer (A) to such Holder’s officers or directors, any affiliates or family members thereof or any of their affiliates; (B) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of one of the individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization; (C) in the case of an individual, by virtue of Laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (D) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (E) by private sales or transfers made in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; (F) pro rata to the direct or indirect partners, members or shareholders of such Holder or any related investment funds or vehicles controlled or managed

3

by such persons or their respective affiliates in connection with the liquidation or dissolution thereof, and (G) by virtue of such Holder’s organizational documents upon liquidation or dissolution thereof; provided, that any transferee of any Transfer of the type set forth in clauses (A) through (G) must enter into a written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent agreeing to be bound by this Agreement prior to the occurrence of such Transfer. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Lock-Up Release Date” means the earliest of (A) 180 days after the date of the Closing and (B) subsequent to the Closing, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30 consecutive trading day period commencing after the Closing, or (y) the date upon completion of a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the public stockholders of Parent having the right to exchange their SPAC Common Stock for cash, securities or other property. In furtherance of the foregoing, Parent hereby agrees to (i) place a revocable stop order on all Shares subject to this Section 2(b), including those that may be covered by a registration statement, and (ii) notify Parent’s transfer agent in writing of such stop order and the restrictions on such Shares under this Section 2(b) and direct Parent’s transfer agent not to process any attempts by any Holder to Transfer any Shares except in compliance with this Section 2(b).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Holder is granted a release or waiver to a substantially similar lockup to those set forth in the restrictions contained in this Section 2 prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, then all Holders subject to such restrictions shall be automatically granted a release or waiver from the restrictions contained in this Section 2 to the same extent, on substantially the same terms as and on a pro rata basis with, the Holder to which such release or waiver is granted.

Section 3.    Certain Covenants of the Holder.

(a)    Each Holder and the Company hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any such agreement, (i) each of the agreements set forth on Schedule 2 hereto shall be automatically terminated and of no further force and effect (including any provisions of any such agreement that, by its terms, survive such termination) effective as of, and subject to and conditioned upon the occurrence of, the Effective Time and (ii) upon such termination neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall have any further obligations or any Liability under or with respect to each such agreement.

(b)    Each Holder hereby agrees to be bound by and subject to (i) Sections 5.3(a) (Confidentiality) and 5.4(a) (Public Announcements) of the Business Combination Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, as if such Holder is directly party thereto, and (ii) Section 5.6(a) (Exclusive Dealing) of the Business Combination Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to the Company, as if the Holder is directly party thereto.

Section 4.    Representations and Warranties of Holders. Each Holder hereby represents and warrants to Parent as follows:

(a)    such Holder has the full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform such Holder’s obligations hereunder;

(b)    this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Holder and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other Parties, constitutes a valid, legal and binding agreement with respect to such Holder, enforceable against such Holder in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity;

4

(c)    if such Holder is the beneficial owner of any Shares held in trust, no consent of any beneficiary of such trust is required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Business Combination Agreement;

(d)    such Holder beneficially owns the number of Shares indicated opposite such Holder’s name on Schedule 1 hereto, free and clear of any Liens (other than Liens created by this Agreement, applicable securities laws, the Company’s Governing Documents, that certain Registration Rights Agreement made as of August 31, 2021 by and among the Company and certain of its stockholders (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), that certain Stockholders Agreement made as of May 22, 2019 by and among the Company and certain of its stockholders (the “Stockholders Agreement”), and Permitted Liens), and has sole, and otherwise unrestricted, voting and investment power with respect to such Shares; none of the Shares are subject to any voting trust or other agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to the voting of the Shares (other than the Stockholders Agreement); and no Person has any right to acquire from such Holder any of the Shares indicated opposite such Holder’s name on Schedule 1 hereto;

(e)    such Holder agrees to promptly notify Parent in writing of any changes or updates to Schedule 1 hereto as it relates to such Holder after the date hereof;

(f)    such Holder understands that, at the Effective Time, each outstanding Share shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement;

(g)    the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Holder, the consummation by such Holder of the transactions contemplated hereunder and the performance by such Holder of his, her or its obligations hereunder do not and will not conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) under, any Contract or any judgment to which such Holder is a party or by which such Holder is bound, or any Law to which such Holder is subject or, in the event that such Holder is a corporation, company, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, association, trust, business trust or other entity, any Governing Document of such Holder;

(h)    the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Holder, the consummation by such Holder of the transactions contemplated hereunder and the performance by such Holder of his, her or its obligations hereunder do not and will not require any consent, approval, qualification, order or authorization of, registration, declaration or filing with, or notice to, any Governmental Entity by such Holder except for applicable requirements, if any, of the Exchange Act, and except where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals, qualifications, orders or authorizations or registrations, declarations or filings, would not prevent or impair in any material respect the performance by such Holder of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement; and

(i)    no investment banker, broker, finder, consultant or intermediary or other Person is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of such Holder in connection with its entering into this Agreement.

Section 5.    Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, the Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction

5

or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity.

No waiver of any breach of this Agreement extended by Parent to a Holder shall be construed as a waiver of any rights or remedies of Parent with respect to any other Holder or with respect to any subsequent breach of such Holder or any other such Holder. No waiver of any provisions hereof by either Party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provisions hereof by any such Party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such Party.

Section 7.    Appraisal Rights; Claims.

Section 8.    Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Business Combination Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with or related to this Agreement and the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not such transactions are consummated.

Section 9.    Trust Account Waiver. Reference is made to the final prospectus of Parent, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (File No. 333-259491) on October 8, 2021 (the “Prospectus”). The Holder acknowledges, agrees and understands that Parent has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering and certain proceeds of the private placement (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of Parent’s public stockholders. The Holder hereby agrees that it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any assets held in the Trust Account, and shall not make any claim against the Trust Account, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or any proposed or actual business relationship between Parent or any of its Representatives or Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Holder or any of its Representatives or Affiliates, on the other hand or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Released Claims”). The Holder hereby agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability.
