“Executive” or “you”) and FLYWIRE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and replaces and supersedes the offer letter between the Executive and Company,
dated January 29, 2015 (as may have been amended from time to time, the “Prior Agreement”). 
 1. Duties and Scope of
Employment. 
 (a) Position. For the term of his or her employment under this Agreement (the “Employment”), the Company
agrees to employ the Executive in the position of General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer. The Executive shall report to the President and Chief Operating Officer. 

(b) Obligations to the Company. During his or her Employment, the Executive (i) shall devote his or her full business efforts and
time to the Company, (ii) shall not engage in any other employment, consulting or other business activity that would create a conflict of interest with the Company, (iii) shall not assist any person or entity in competing with the Company
or in preparing to compete with the Company and (iv) shall materially comply with the Company’s policies and rules, as they may be in effect from time to time. 

(c) No Conflicting Obligations. The Executive represents and warrants to the Company that he or she is under no obligations or
commitments, whether contractual or otherwise, that are inconsistent with his or her obligations under this Agreement. The Executive represents and warrants that he or she will not use or disclose, in connection with his or her Employment, any trade
secrets or other proprietary information or intellectual property in which the Executive or any other person has any right, title or interest and that his Employment will not infringe or violate the rights of any other person. 

(d) Definitions. Certain capitalized terms are defined in Section 11. 

2. Cash and Incentive Compensation. 

(a) Salary. The Company shall pay the Executive as compensation for his services a base salary at a gross annual rate of $295,000 (as
may be adjusted, the “Base Salary”). Such salary shall be payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedures and shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the Company’s executive compensation policies in effect
from time to time. 
 (b) Bonus. You will be eligible for an annual discretionary performance bonus subject to achievement of targets
as approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) or its Compensation Committee (the “Committee”). Performance bonus goals and attainment of such goals will be evaluated and approved by the Committee and paid on
an annual basis, with such payment, to the extent earned, to be made within 2 1⁄2 months following the close of the applicable fiscal year, but only if you are
still employed by the Company as of the date of payment. The determinations of the Board or Committee with respect to your bonus will be final and binding. 
  












 3. Executive Benefits. During his or her Employment, the Executive shall be eligible
for paid time off in accordance with the Company’s PTO policy, as in effect from time to time. During his or her Employment, the Executive shall also be eligible to participate in the executive benefit plans maintained by the Company, subject
in each case to the generally applicable terms and conditions of the plan in question and to the determinations of any person or committee administering such plan. 

4. Term of Employment. 

(a) Employment at Will. The Executive’s Employment with the Company shall be “at will,” meaning that either the Executive
or the Company shall be entitled to terminate the Executive’s Employment at any time and for any reason, with or without Cause. Any contrary representations that may have been made to the Executive shall be superseded by this Agreement. This
Agreement shall constitute the full and complete agreement between the Executive and the Company on the “at will” nature of the Executive’s Employment. Although Executive’s job duties, title, compensation and benefits, as well as
the Company’s personnel policies and procedures, may change from time to time, the “at will” nature of the Executive’s employment may only be changed in an express written agreement signed by the Executive and a duly authorized
officer of the Company (other than the Executive). The termination of the Executive’s Employment shall not limit or otherwise affect his or her obligations under Sections 6 and/or 7 below or his or her rights under Section 5 below. 

(b) Rights upon Termination. Except as expressly provided in Section 5 below, upon the termination of the Executive’s
Employment, the Executive shall only be entitled to the compensation and benefits that the Executive has earned under this Agreement before the effective date of the termination. The payments under this Agreement shall fully discharge all
responsibilities of the Company to the Executive (other than payments of accrued and vested executive benefits, if any, under the Company’s executive benefit plans). 

5. Termination Benefits. 

(a) General. If you are subject to an Involuntary Termination, then you will be entitled to the benefits described in Section 5(b).
However, Section 5(b) will not apply unless you (i) have returned all Company property in your possession, and (ii) have executed a general release of all claims (with applicable carve-out for
continued indemnification, non-disparagement and other customary exceptions) that you may have against the Company or persons affiliated with the Company. You must execute and return the release on or before
the date specified by the Company in the prescribed form (the “Release Deadline”). The Release Deadline will in no event be later than 50 days after your Separation. If you fail to return the release on or before the Release Deadline, or
if you revoke the release, then you will not be entitled to the benefits described in Section 5(b). Your obligation to provide the release will be waived and treated as satisfied if the Company has not delivered the initial form of release to
you within ten days after your employment ends.

 (b) Severance Payment. If you are subject to an Involuntary Termination, then the
Company will (i) continue to pay you the Base Salary for 6 months following your Separation (the “Severance Period”), and (ii) pay a lump sum payment equal to your accrued and unpaid annual bonus if you are terminated after the
end of a fiscal year, but prior to payment of such bonus. The salary continuation payments will commence on the first payroll date following expiration of the applicable revocation period of the release provided for in Section 5(a) and
thereafter on the Company’s normal payroll schedule. In the event you are subject to an Involuntary Termination in the three (3) months prior to a Change in Control, on a Change in Control or in the twelve (12) months following a
Change in Control, then the Company will pay you a lump sum cash payment equal to (i) 1 times the sum of (x) Base Salary plus (y) annual target bonus, subject to execution of the release. However, if the
50-day period described in Section 5(a) spans two (2) calendar years, then the salary continuation payments or, if applicable, the lump sum payment will commence or be paid on the first payroll date
following expiration of the applicable revocation period in the second calendar year. The Company’s obligation to make payments during the Severance Period will cease immediately upon your material breach of the PIIA (as defined below) after
being provided written notice of such breach and 30 days’ opportunity to cure. 
 (c) Equity Awards. In the event you are subject
to an Involuntary Termination in the three (3) months prior to a Change in Control, on a Change in Control or in the twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, then all of your outstanding and unvested option shares and equity
awards that are subject to time-based vesting shall be 100% vested and non-forfeitable. 
 (d)
COBRA. If you are subject to an Involuntary Termination and you elect to continue your health insurance coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) following your Separation, then the Company will
continue pay the same percentage of your monthly premium under COBRA, which is understood to potentially be higher than said premium for active employees, for the 6 months following your Separation (12 months if the Involuntary Termination is in
connection with a Change in Control). 
 (e) Accrued Rights. You will be entitled to receive the following upon termination of
employment for any reason: (i) accrued and unpaid Base Salary through the date of termination of employment; (ii) reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses; and (iii) such employee benefits, if any, to which the Executive
may be entitled under the applicable Company plans upon termination of employment. 
 6. Documents and Company Property. The Executive
is prohibited from keeping in his or her possession in any way any correspondence, documents, other information carriers, copies thereof, and other goods made available by the Company or its affiliates to him (including, but not limited to, credit
cards, mobile communication devices, keys, documents, handbooks, financial data, plans, USB sticks or other information carriers, access cards and laptop computer), except to the extent that this is necessary for the performance of his or her work
for the Company. In any event, the Executive is obliged to immediately hand over such documents and other goods made available to him at the end of this Agreement or upon suspension of his or her active duties for any reason other than documents
relating to his own employment and compensation.

(e) 280G. Parachute Payments. If any payment or benefit that you would receive in connection with a Change in Control from the Company
or otherwise (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the
Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the
Excise Tax, or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the
highest applicable marginal rate), results in your receipt of the greatest economic benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute
payments” is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, any reduction shall be applied first, on a pro rata basis, to amounts that constitute deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and,
in the event that the reductions pursuant to this Section 12(e) exceed payments that are subject to Section 409A of the Code, the remaining reductions shall be applied, on a pro rata basis, to any other remaining payments , first
with respect to amounts payable in cash before being made in respect to any payments to be provided in the form of benefits or equity award acceleration, and in the form of benefits before being made with respect to equity award acceleration.

all claims relating to your employment with the Company will be settled by final and binding arbitration. The arbitration will take place in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration
Association under its National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. Any award or finding will be confidential. You and the Company agree to provide one another with reasonable access to documents and witnesses in connection with the
resolution of the dispute. You and the Company will share the costs of arbitration equally up to, for you, the filing fee to bring a civil action in the state courts of Massachusetts. Each party will be responsible for its own attorneys’ fees,
and the arbitrator may not award attorneys’ fees unless a statute or contract at issue specifically authorizes such an award. This Section 12(f) does not apply to claims for workers’ compensation benefits or unemployment insurance
benefits. This Section 12(f) also does not apply to claims concerning the ownership, validity, infringement, misappropriation, disclosure, misuse or enforceability of any confidential information, patent right, copyright, mask work, trademark
or any other trade secret or intellectual property held or sought by either you or the Company (whether or not arising under the Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement between you and the Company). 

(g) Choice of Law and Severability. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
(except its provisions governing the choice of law). If any provision of this Agreement becomes or is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any applicable jurisdiction by reason of the scope, extent or duration of its coverage or any other
reason, then such provision shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to conform to applicable law so as to be valid and enforceable or, if such provision cannot be so amended without materially altering the intention of the parties,
then such provision shall be stricken and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. If any provision of this Agreement is rendered illegal by any present or future statute, law, ordinance or regulation (collectively
the “Law”), then such provision shall be curtailed or limited only to the minimum extent necessary to bring such provision into compliance with the Law. All the other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect without impairment or limitation. 
 (h) No Assignment. This Agreement and all rights and obligations of the Executive
hereunder are personal to the Executive and may not be transferred or assigned by the Executive at any time. The Company may assign its rights under this Agreement to any entity that assumes the Company’s obligations hereunder in connection
with any sale or transfer of all or a substantial portion of the Company’s assets to such entity. 
 (i) Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
