	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”) to be entered into by and among Live Oak Mobility
Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Jefferies LLC and BofA Securities, Inc., as representatives (each, a “Representative” and collectively, the
“Representatives”) of the several underwriters (each, an “Underwriter” and collectively, the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the
“Public Offering”), of up to 25,300,000 of the Company’s units (including up to 3,300,000 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-fifth 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and the Units have been approved to be listed
on the New York Stock Exchange. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 11 hereof. 
 In order to induce the Company
and the Underwriters 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, Live Oak Mobility Sponsor Partners,
LLC (the “Sponsor”) and each of 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 vote any shares of Capital Stock owned by it, him or her in favor of any proposed Business
Combination. If the Company engages in a tender offer in connection with any proposed Business Combination, each Insider agrees that it, he or she will not seek to sell its, his or her shares of Common 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 the timeframe set forth in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Charter”), the Sponsor and each Insider shall take all reasonable steps to
cause the Company to (a) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (b) 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, including interest earned on the funds held in the
Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (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 of the Company (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (c) 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 agree not to propose any amendment to the Charter (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide for the redemption of the Offering Shares in
connection with an initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of such shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within such time as is described in the Charter or (ii) with respect to any other material
provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides its Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Offering Shares 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, divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares. 
 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 Representatives, (a) offer, sell, contract to sell, grant any
option to sell (including any short sale), pledge, transfer, establish an open “put equivalent position” within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(h) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Units, shares of Capital Stock, Warrants or any other securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock currently or
hereafter owned either of record or beneficially, or publicly announce an intention to do any of the foregoing; provided, however, that the Company may (1) issue and sell the Private Placement Warrants, (2) issue and sell the additional
Units to cover the Underwriters’ over-allotment option (if any), (3) register with the Commission pursuant to an agreement to be entered into concurrently with the issuance and sale of the securities in the Public Offering, the resale of the
Private Placement Warrants and shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Founder Shares and (4) issue securities in connection with an initial Business Combination. 

4. In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, the Sponsor (which for purposes of clarification shall not extend to any other
shareholders, members or managers of the Sponsor) 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, or any claim whatsoever) to which the Company may become subject as a result of any claim by (a) any third party (other than the
Company’s independent accountants) for services rendered or products sold to the Company or (b) a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or
Business Combination agreement (a “Target”); provided, however, that such 

  
 2 













 
indemnification of the Company by the Sponsor shall apply only to the extent necessary to ensure that such claims by a third party for services rendered (other than the Company’s independent
public accountants) or products sold to the Company 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 or (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, due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, except as to any claims by a third party (including a Target) who executed a
waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Sponsor 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 Sponsor, the Sponsor notifies the Company in writing that it shall undertake such defense. 
 5. To the extent that the Underwriters do
not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 3,300,000 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 825,000 multiplied by a fraction, (a) the numerator of which is 3,300,000 minus the number of Units purchased by the Underwriters upon the exercise of their over-allotment option, and (b) the denominator of
which is 3,300,000. The forfeiture will be adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the Underwriters 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) [Reserved]. 

(b) The Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (i) the Underwriters 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, 7(a), 7(b), and 9 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 (i) one year after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or (ii) subsequent to the Company’s initial Business Combination, (x) if the reported closing 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 consummation of 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”). 

  
 3 













 (b) The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it, he or she shall not Transfer any Private
Placement Warrants (or shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) until 30 days after the completion of a 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, Private Placement Warrants and
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 (i) to the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliates or family members of any of the Company’s officers or directors, any members of the Sponsor or any affiliates of the Sponsor; (ii) 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;
(iii) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of such individual; (iv) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (v) by private sales or transfers
made in connection with any forward purchase agreement or similar arrangement or in connection with the consummation of an initial Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the shares or warrants were originally purchased;
(vi) in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to the completion of an initial Business Combination; or (vii) by virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware or the organizational documents of the Sponsor upon dissolution of the
Sponsor; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (i) through (v) or (vii), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement with the Company agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions herein and the
other restrictions contained in this Letter Agreement and by the same agreements entered into by the Sponsor with respect to such securities (including provisions relating to voting, the Trust Account and liquidating distributions). 

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. The Sponsor and each Insider’s questionnaire furnished to the Company is true and accurate in all
respects. The Sponsor and 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 (a) involving fraud, (b) relating to any financial transaction or handling of funds of another person, or (c) 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
Insider nor any affiliate of the Sponsor or any Insider, nor any director or officer 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: 

  
 4 













 
repayment of a loan and advances up to an aggregate of $300,000 made to the Company by the Sponsor; payment to Live Oak Merchant Partners LLC for office space, utilities and secretarial and
administrative support for a total of $15,000 per month; reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating, negotiating 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 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 $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.50 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. 
 10. The Sponsor and each Insider
has full right and power, without violating any agreement to which it is bound (including, without limitation, any non-competition or non-solicitation agreement with any
employer or former employer), to enter into this Letter Agreement and, as applicable, to serve as an officer and/or a director of the Company and hereby consents to being named in the Prospectus as an officer and/or a director of the Company. 

11. As used herein, (a) “Business Combination” shall mean a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock
purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Company and one or more businesses; (b) “Capital Stock” shall mean, collectively, the Common Stock and the Founder Shares; (c) “Founder
Shares” shall mean the 6,325,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, held by the Sponsor (up to an aggregate of 825,000 shares of which are subject to complete or partial forfeiture by
the Sponsor if the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the Underwriters); (d) “Initial Stockholders” shall mean the Sponsor and any other holder of Founder Shares immediately prior to the Public Offering; (e)
“Private Placement Warrants” shall mean the warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,666,666 shares of Common Stock of the Company (or 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock if the over-allotment option is exercised in full)
that the Sponsor has agreed to purchase for an aggregate purchase price of $7,000,000 (or $7,500,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full), or $1.50 per warrant, in a private placement that shall occur simultaneously with the
consummation of the Public Offering; (f) “Public Stockholders” shall mean the holders of Common Stock issued in the Public Offering; (g) “Trust Account” shall mean the trust fund into which a portion
of the net proceeds of the Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants shall be deposited; and (h) “Transfer” shall mean the (i) sale or assignment of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell,
hypothecate, pledge, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agreement to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establishment or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease of a call
equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to, any security, (ii) entry into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to
another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) public announcement of any intention to
effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii).

 12. This Letter Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties
hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or the
transactions contemplated hereby. This Letter Agreement may not be changed, amended, modified or waived (other than to correct a typographical error) as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto. 

13. No party hereto may assign either this Letter Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of the other parties. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee. This Letter Agreement shall be
binding on the Sponsor and each Insider and their respective successors, heirs and assigns and permitted transferees. 
 14. Nothing in this
Letter Agreement shall be construed to confer upon, or give to, any person or corporation other than the parties hereto any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Letter Agreement or of any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise or

Letter Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid and enforceable. 

17. This Letter Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving
effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. The parties hereto (a) all agree that any action, proceeding, claim or dispute arising out of, or relating in any way
to, this Letter Agreement shall be brought and enforced in the courts of New York City, in the State of New York, and irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction and venue, which jurisdiction and venue shall be exclusive and (b) waive any objection
to such exclusive jurisdiction and venue or that such courts represent an inconvenient forum. 
 18. Any notice, consent or 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.

 19. This Letter Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the expiration of the Lock-up Periods or (b) the liquidation of the Company; provided, however, that this Letter Agreement shall earlier terminate in the event that the Public Offering is not consummated by
