Re: Initial Public Offering


 


Ladies and Gentlemen:


 


This letter (this “Letter Agreement”) is
being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) entered
into by and among Iron Spark I Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Oppenheimer & Co. Inc.,
(the “Underwriter”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “Public Offering”),
of 20,125,000 of the Company’s units (including up to 2,625,000 units that may be purchased to cover over-allotments, if any) (the
 “Units”), each comprised of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share
(the “Common Stock”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant (each, a “Warrant”)
entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units will
be sold in the Public Offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 and prospectus (the “Prospectus”)
filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and the Company has
applied to have the Units listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 12 hereof.


 


In order to induce the Company and the Underwriter
to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the Public Offering and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each of Iron Spark I LLC (the “Sponsor”) and the undersigned
individuals, each of whom is a member of the Company’s board of directors and/or management team (each, an “Insider”
and collectively, the “Insiders”), hereby agrees with the Company as follows:


 


1. The Sponsor and each Insider
agrees that if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, then in connection with such proposed Business
Combination, it, he or she shall (i) vote any shares of Capital Stock owned by it, him or her in favor of any proposed Business Combination
and (ii) not redeem any shares of Capital Stock owned by it, him or her in connection with such stockholder approval. If the Company
engages in a tender offer in connection with any proposed Business Combination, the Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it, he or she
will not seek to sell its, his or her shares of Capital Stock to the Company in connection with such tender offer.


 






     


     


    

 


2. The Sponsor and each Insider
hereby agrees that in the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public
Offering, or such later period approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated
certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”), the Sponsor and each Insider shall take all reasonable steps to
cause the Company to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible
but not more than 10 Business Days thereafter, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the Common Stock sold as part
of the Units in the Public Offering (the “Offering Shares”), at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to
the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (as defined below), including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust
Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (as described in the Prospectus) (less up to $100,000 of interest
to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish all
Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject
to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s
remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s
obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. The Sponsor and each Insider
agrees not to propose any amendment to the Charter to modify (i) the substance or timing of the ability of holders of Offering Shares
to seek redemption in connection with a Business Combination or the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if
the Company does not complete a Business Combination by the date set forth in the Charter or (ii) the other provisions relating to
stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activities, unless the Company provides Public Stockholders with the opportunity
to redeem their shares of Common Stock upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate
amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released
to the Company to pay its taxes (as described in the Prospectus), divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares.


 


The Sponsor and each Insider
acknowledges that, with respect to the Founder Shares held by it, him or her, it, he or she has no right, title, interest or claim of
any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of any liquidation of the Company (although the Sponsor, the Insiders
and their respective affiliates shall be entitled to redemption and liquidation rights with respect to any Offering Shares it or they
hold if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Charter). The Sponsor and each
Insider hereby further waives, with respect to any shares of Capital Stock held by it, him or her, if any, any redemption rights it, he
or she may have in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, including, without limitation, any such rights available
in the context of a stockholder vote to approve such Business Combination or a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Charter
to (i) modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company has
not consummated a Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Charter or in the context of a tender offer made by the
Company to purchase shares of Capital Stock or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or
pre-initial Business Combination activity.


 


3. During the period commencing
on the effective date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 180 days after such date, the Sponsor and each Insider shall not, without
the prior written consent of the Underwriter, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any
option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Units, shares of Common Stock, Founder
Shares, Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock owned by it, him or her,
(ii) establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations
of the Commission promulgated thereunder, with respect to any Units, shares of Common Stock, Founder Shares, Warrants or any securities
convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock owned by it, him or her, (iii) enter into any swap
or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Units, shares
of Common Stock, Founder Shares, Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock
owned by it, him or her, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iv) publicly
announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii). Each of the Insiders and the Sponsor acknowledges
and agrees that, prior to the effective date of any release or waiver of the restrictions set forth in this paragraph 3 or paragraph 7
below, the Company shall announce the impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service at least two Business
Days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted shall only be effective two Business Days after
the publication date of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if the release or waiver is effected solely
to permit a transfer not for consideration and the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Letter
Agreement to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

4. In the event of the liquidation
of the Trust Account upon the failure of the Company to consummate its initial Business Combination within the time period set forth in
the Charter, the Sponsor (the “Indemnitor”) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any and
all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, whether pending or threatened) to which the Company may become
subject as a result of any claim by (i) any third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company or (ii) any prospective
target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business
Combination agreement (a “Target”); provided, however, that such indemnification of the Company by the Indemnitor
(x) shall apply only to the extent necessary to ensure that such claims by a third party or a Target do not reduce the amount of
funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Offering Share and (ii) the actual amount per Offering Share
held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Offering Share is then held
in the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less interest earned on the Trust Account which may be withdrawn
to pay taxes, (y) shall not apply to any claims by a third party or a Target which executed a waiver of any and all rights to the
monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) and (z) shall not apply to any claims under the Company’s
indemnity of the Underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Indemnitor
shall have the right to defend against any such claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Company if, within 15
days following written receipt of notice of the claim to the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor notifies the Company in writing that it shall
undertake such defense.


 


5. To the extent that the Underwriter does not exercise its over-allotment
option to purchase up to an additional 2,625,000 Units within 45 days from the date of the Prospectus (and as further described in the
Prospectus), the Sponsor agrees to forfeit, at no cost, a number of Founder Shares in the aggregate equal to 656,250 multiplied by a fraction,
(i) the numerator of which is 2,625,000 minus the number of Units purchased by the Underwriter upon the exercise of their over-allotment
option, and (ii) the denominator of which is 2,625,000. The forfeiture will be adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment option is
not exercised in full by the Underwriter so that the Initial Stockholders will own an aggregate of 20.0% of the Company’s issued
and outstanding shares of Capital Stock after the Public Offering.


 


6. (a) The Sponsor and
the Insiders, other than Joshua L. Spear, hereby agree not to participate in the formation of, or become an officer or director of, any
special purpose acquisition company with a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act, other than the Company, until the Company
has entered into a definitive agreement regarding an initial Business Combination or the Company has failed to complete an initial Business
Combination within 24 months after the closing of the Public Offering, as such period may be extended by Company stockholder approval.


 


(b) The Sponsor and each
Insider hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (i) the Underwriter and the Company would be irreparably injured in the event of a
breach by the Sponsor or an Insider of its, his or her obligations under paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6(a), 7(a), 7(b), and 9, as
applicable, of this Letter Agreement (ii) monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for such breach and (iii) the
non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy that such party may have in law or in
equity, in the event of such breach.

7. (a) The Sponsor and
each Insider agrees that it, he or she shall not Transfer any Founder Shares (or shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof)
until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent
to the Company’s initial Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00
per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within
any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Company’s initial Business Combination or (y) the date on
which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in
all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property
(the “Founder Shares Lock-up Period”).


 


(b) The Sponsor and each
Insider agrees that it, he or she shall not Transfer any Private Placement Warrants (or shares of Common Stock underlying such
Private Placement Warrants), until 30 days after the Company’s completion of its initial Business Combination (the
 “Private Placement Warrants Lock-up Period”, together with the Founder Shares Lock-up Period, the
 “Lock-up Periods”).


 


(c) Notwithstanding the
provisions set forth in paragraphs 7(a) and (b), Transfers of the Founder Shares, the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of
Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Private Placement Warrants or the Founder Shares and that are held
by the Sponsor, any Insider or any of their permitted transferees (that have complied with this paragraph 7(c)), are permitted (a) to
the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliate or family member of any of the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliate
of the Sponsor or any member of the Sponsor; (b) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of such individual’s immediate
family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of such individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such individual
or to a charitable organization; (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of such
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 consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which
the Founder Shares, shares of Common Stock or Private Placement Warrants were originally purchased; (f) in the event of the Company’s
liquidation prior to the completion of an initial Business Combination; or (g) by virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware or
the Sponsor’s limited liability company agreement upon dissolution of the Sponsor; provided, however, that in the case of clauses
(a) through (e) or (g), any such permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement with the Company agreeing to be bound
by the transfer restrictions in this paragraph 7(c) and the other restrictions contained in this Letter Agreement.


 


8. The Sponsor and each Insider
represents and warrants that it, he or she has never been suspended or expelled from membership in any securities or commodities exchange
or association or had a securities or commodities license or registration denied, suspended or revoked. Each Insider’s biographical
information furnished to the Company (including any such information included in the Prospectus) is true and accurate in all respects
and does not omit any material information with respect to the Insider’s background. Each Insider’s questionnaire furnished
to the Company is true and accurate in all respects. Each Insider represents and warrants that: it, he or she is not subject to or a respondent
in any legal action for, any injunction, cease-and-desist order or order or stipulation to desist or refrain from any act or practice
relating to the offering of securities in any jurisdiction; it, he or she has never been convicted of, or pleaded guilty to, any crime
(i) involving fraud, (ii) relating to any financial transaction or handling of funds of another person, or (iii) pertaining
to any dealings in any securities and it, he or she is not currently a defendant in any such criminal proceeding.

9. Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, neither the Sponsor nor any
officer, nor any affiliate of the Sponsor or any officer, nor any director of the Company, shall receive from the Company any finder’s
fee, reimbursement, consulting fee, monies in respect of any repayment of a loan or other compensation prior to, or in connection with
any services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination (regardless of the
type of transaction that it is), other than the following, none of which will be made from the proceeds held in the Trust Account prior
to the completion of the initial Business Combination: repayment of a loan and advances up to an aggregate of $50,000 made to the Company
by the Sponsor; payment to an affiliate of the Sponsor for certain office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support
as may be reasonably required by the Company for a total of $10,000 per month; reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
related to identifying, investigating and consummating an initial Business Combination; and repayment of loans, if any, and on such terms
as to be determined by the Company from time to time, made by the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or any of the Company’s
officers or directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, provided, that, if the
Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination, a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account may be used
by the Company to repay such loaned amounts so long as no proceeds from the Trust Account are used for such repayment. Up to $1,000,000
of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical
to the Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period.

non-solicitation agreement with any employer or former employer), to enter into this Letter Agreement and, as applicable, to serve as
an officer or director of the Company and hereby consents to being named in the Prospectus as an officer or director of the Company.

by the Underwriter) outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Public Offering; (v) “Initial Stockholders”
shall mean the Sponsor and any Insider that holds Founder Shares prior to the consummation of the Public Offering; (vi) “Private

that shall occur simultaneously with the consummation of the Public Offering; (vii) “Public Stockholders”

to effect any transaction specified in clause (a) or (b).


 


13. The Company will maintain

request to be given in connection with any of the terms or provisions of this Letter Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by
express mail or similar private courier service, by certified mail (return receipt requested), by hand delivery or facsimile transmission.
