SECURITIES ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT


 


This Securities Assignment Agreement is dated as
of May 24, 2021 (this “Assignment”), by and among TradeUp 88 Sponsor LLC, a Cayman limited liability company (the “Seller”),
and the parties identified on the signature page hereto (each a “Buyer” and collectively, the “Buyers”).


 


WHEREAS, on the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in this Assignment, the Seller wishes to assign to the Buyers Class B ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value (“Class B
Shares”), of TradeUp 88 Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), a newly-organized blank
check company, or special purpose acquisition company, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition,
stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (a “Business
Combination”), and the Buyers wish to purchase and receive such Shares (as defined below) from the Seller.


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises,
representations, warranties and the mutual covenants contained in this Assignment, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as
follows:


 


Section 1.           Assignment of Shares. Seller hereby assigns 20,000 Class B Shares to each of the Buyers (collectively,
the “Shares”) for a total of 60,000 Class B Shares. Each Buyer has paid to the Seller an aggregate amount of One Hundred
Ninety Eight Dollars ($198), for an aggregate purchase price of Five Hundred Ninety Four Dollars ($594) (the “Purchase Price”),
in consideration of the assignment of the Shares.


 


Section 2.          Potential Forfeiture of Shares.


 


(a) In the event that the Company determines for
any reason not to nominate, elect or appoint any Buyer as a member of the board of directors of the Company, or if any Buyer otherwise
does not become a member of the board of directors of the Company for any reason, on or prior to the closing of the Public Offering (as
defined below), or if the Public Offering is not consummated on or prior to December 31, 2021, such Buyer shall automatically forfeit
all of the Shares held by such Buyer, which Shares shall automatically be assigned and returned to the Seller, and the Seller shall promptly
return the applicable portion of the Purchase Price to such Buyer.


 


(b)       In
the event that, following the closing of the Public Offering and prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, any Buyer resigns
or otherwise ceases to serve as a member of the board of the directors for any reason, Seller (or its designee(s)) shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to purchase from the Buyer fifty percent (50%) of the Shares purchased by such Buyer hereunder, for a purchase
price equal to the per-share purchase price paid by such Buyer for such Shares hereunder. Such right shall be exercisable by Seller at
any time prior to the consummation of a Business Combination by providing written notice of such exercise to the applicable Buyer.

(c)        The
applicable Buyer shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate any forfeiture or sale contemplated by this Section
2, including entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments and consents as may be deemed by Seller to be necessary
or appropriate, and the applicable Buyer hereby grants to Seller and any representative designated by Seller without further action by
such Buyer a limited irrevocable power of attorney to effect any forfeiture or transfer contemplated hereby on behalf of such Buyer, which
power of attorney shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest.


 


Section 3.           No Conflicts. Each party represents
and warrants that neither the execution and delivery of this Assignment by such party, nor the consummation or performance by such party
of any of the transactions contemplated hereby, will with or without notice or lapse of time, constitute, create or result in a breach
or violation of, default under, loss of benefit or right under or acceleration of performance of any obligation required under any agreement
to which it is a party.


 


Section 4.           Investment Representations. Each
Buyer represents and warrants, with respect to himself or herself only, as set forth herein. Such Buyer hereby acknowledges that an investment
in the Shares involves certain significant risks. Such Buyer has no need for liquidity in its investment in the Shares for the foreseeable
future and is able to bear the risk of that investment for an indefinite period. Such Buyer acknowledges and hereby agrees that the Shares
will not be transferable under any circumstances unless registered by the Company in accordance with federal and state securities laws
or sold in compliance with an exemption under such laws and such transfer complies with all applicable lock-up restrictions on such Buyer
(as described in the Company’s draft registration statement on Form S-1, as may be amended (the “Registration Statement”),
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to a contemplated underwritten public offering by
the Company (the “Public Offering”)). Such Buyer further understands and agrees that Buyer will be required to execute
and deliver (a) a letter agreement including, among other provisions, the foregoing transfer restrictions, and (b) a stock escrow agreement
with respect to such shares, in each case as described in the Registration Statement, and that any certificates evidencing the Shares
bear a legend referring to such transfer restrictions.


 


The Shares are being acquired solely for such Buyer’s
own account, for investment purposes only, and are not being purchased with a view to or for the resale, distribution, subdivision or
fractionalization thereof; and such Buyer has no present plans to enter into any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement for such
resale, distribution, subdivision or fractionalization. Such Buyer has been given the opportunity to (i) ask questions of and receive
answers from the Seller and the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Shares, and the business and financial condition of
the Company and (ii) obtain any additional information that the Seller possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense
that is necessary to assist such Buyer in evaluating the advisability of the purchase of the Shares and an investment in the Company.
Such Buyer is not relying on any oral representation made by any person as to the Company or its operations, financial condition or prospects.
Such Buyer is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under
the Act. In the event such Buyer does not join the Board of Directors of the Company upon the consummation of the Public Offering (whether
and either at the election of the Company or such Buyer for any reason), then the Buyer shall promptly return the Shares to the Company.
