AGREEMENT


 


1.                  
Company Stockholder Consent and Related Matters.


 


(a)                As
promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) following the time at which the
Registration Statement / Proxy Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, the Stockholder shall duly execute
and deliver to the Company and Tailwind the Company Stockholder Written Consent under which it shall irrevocably and
unconditionally consent to the matters, actions and proposals contemplated by Section 5.13(b) (Company Stockholder Approval)
of the Business Combination Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the Closing, the
Stockholder shall vote (or cause to be voted) the Subject Company Shares as of the applicable record date (i) in favor of
and/or consent to any such matters, actions or proposals, in each case, that are necessary or reasonably requested by the
Company or Tailwind for the consummation of the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Business
Combination Agreement or the Ancillary Documents and (ii) against and withhold consent with respect to (A) any Company
Acquisition Proposal or (B) any other matter, action or proposal that would reasonably be expected to result in any of the
conditions to the Closing set forth in Sections 6.1 or 6.2 of the Business Combination Agreement not being satisfied.


 


(b)               
Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Tailwind, the Stockholder hereby appoints Tailwind or any individual designated
in writing by Tailwind as the Stockholder’s agent, attorney-in-fact and proxy (with full power of substitution and resubstituting),
for and in the name, place and stead of the Stockholder, to attend on behalf of the Stockholder any meeting of the Company Stockholders
with respect to the matters described in Section 1(a), to include the Subject Company Shares as of the record date of such
meeting in any computation for purposes of establishing a quorum at any such meeting of the Company Stockholders, to vote (or cause
to be voted) the Subject Company Shares as of the applicable record date or consent (or withhold consent) with respect to any of
the matters described in Section 1(a) 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, in the event that (i) the
Stockholder fails to perform or otherwise comply with the covenants, agreements or obligations set forth in Section 1(a),
(ii) any Proceeding is pending or threatened by or on behalf of the Stockholder or the Company that challenges or could impair
the enforceability or validation of the covenants, agreements or obligations set forth in this Agreement or (iii) Tailwind notifies
the Stockholder in writing of its intent to exercise the proxy set forth in this Section 1(b).


 


(c)                
The proxy granted by the Stockholder pursuant to Section 1(b) shall be irrevocable during the term of this Agreement,
is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy and is granted in consideration for Tailwind entering
into the Business Combination Agreement and agreeing to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. The proxy granted by
the Stockholder pursuant to Section 1(b) is also a durable proxy and shall survive the bankruptcy, dissolution, death, incapacity
or other inability to act by the Stockholder and shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by the Stockholder with respect
to the Subject Company Shares. The vote or consent of the proxyholder with respect to the matters described in Section 1(a)
shall control in the event of any conflict between such vote or consent by the proxyholder of the Subject Company Shares and a
vote or consent by the Stockholder of the Subject Company Shares (or any other Person with the power to vote or provide consent
with respect to the Subject Company Shares) with respect to the matters described in Section 1(a). The proxyholder may not
exercise the proxy granted pursuant to Section 1(b) on any matter except for those matters described in Section 1(a).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the proxy granted by the Stockholder pursuant to Section 1(b) shall be
revoked and shall terminate at such time as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 6.


 


2.                  
Appointment of the Company Stockholder Representative. The Stockholder hereby irrevocably agrees and consents to
the appointment of Rationem, LLC as the Company Stockholder Representative and as the exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact to act

The Stockholder hereby agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any such agreement, (i) each of the agreements
set forth on Schedule B hereto and any other agreements required to be terminated pursuant to Section 5.20 (Company Related
Party Transactions) of the Business Combination Agreement to which the Stockholder is a party or bound 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 Closing and (ii) upon such termination
neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates (including the other Group Companies and, from and after the Effective Time, Tailwind
and its Affiliates) shall have any further obligations or liabilities under each such agreement. Without limiting the generality

of the immediately preceding sentence shall be reasonable) and take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary or reasonably
advisable in order to achieve the purpose of the preceding sentence. 


 


(b)               
The Stockholder shall be bound by and subject to (i) Sections 5.3(a) (Confidentiality) and 5.4(a) (Public Announcements)

Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that the Tailwind Parties are entering into the Business Combination Agreement in reliance
upon the Stockholder entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by, and perform, or otherwise comply with, as applicable,
the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement, and but for the Stockholder entering into this Agreement
and agreeing to be bound by, and perform, or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the agreements, covenants and obligations contained

jurisdictions that recognize the concept of good standing or any equivalent thereof) under the Laws of its jurisdiction of formation
or organization (as applicable).

the Stockholder (assuming that this Agreement is duly authorized, executed and delivered by Tailwind), enforceable against
the Stockholder in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
other Laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights and subject to general principles of equity).

under this Agreement that relate to the provisions of the Business Combination Agreement) or the consummation of the transactions

comply with, any of his, her or its covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder.


 


(d)                
None of the execution or delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholder, the performance by the Stockholder of any of his,
her or its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those covenants, agreements
and obligations under this Agreement that relate to the provisions of the Business Combination Agreement) or the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby will, directly or indirectly (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both), (i) result
in any breach of any provision of the Stockholder’s Governing Documents, (ii) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute
a default or give rise to any right of termination, Consent, cancellation, amendment, modification, suspension, revocation or acceleration
under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any Contract to which the Stockholder is a party, (iii) violate, or constitute
a breach under, any Order or applicable Law to which the Stockholder or any of his, her or its properties or assets are bound or

perform, or otherwise comply with, any of his, her or its covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder.


 


(e)               
The Stockholder is the record and beneficial owner of the Subject Company Shares and has valid, good and marketable title

to acquire any Equity Securities of any Group Company. The Stockholder has the sole right to vote (and provide consent in respect
of, as applicable) the Subject Company Shares and, except for this Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement and the Company
Stockholders Agreements, the Stockholder is not party to or bound by (i) any option, warrant, purchase right, or other Contract
that could (either alone or in connection with one or more events, developments or events (including the satisfaction or waiver
of any conditions precedent)) require the Stockholder to Transfer any of the Subject Company Shares or (ii) any voting trust, proxy
or other Contract with respect to the voting or Transfer of any of the Subject Company Shares.


 


(f)                
There is no Proceeding pending or threatened in writing against or involving the Stockholder or any of his, her or its Affiliates

to perform, or otherwise comply with, any of its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement.

If to the Stockholder, to the address set
forth on the Stockholder’s signature page hereto or to such other address as the Party to whom notice is given may have previously
furnished to the others in writing in the manner set forth above.


 


12.                Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement and documents
referred to herein and therein constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement,
and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter
of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.


 


13.              
Amendments and Waivers; Assignment. Any provision of this Agreement may be (a)
amended if, and only if, such amendment is in writing and signed by the Stockholder and Tailwind and (b) waived if, and only if,
such waiver is in writing and signed by the Party against whom such waiver is to be effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial
exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights,
interests or obligations hereunder shall be assignable by the Stockholder without Tailwind’s prior written consent (to be
withheld or given in its sole discretion). Any attempted assignment of this Agreement not in accordance with the terms of this
Section 13 shall be void.


 


14.                
Fees and Expenses. Except, in the case of Tailwind, as otherwise set forth in
the Business Combination Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby, including the fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, shall be paid by the Party incurring
such fees or expenses.


 


15.                
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 any Party does not perform his, her or its respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with
their specific terms or otherwise breaches such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that each Party 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 Party 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 equity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any Proceeding
for which Tailwind or the Company is being granted an award of money damages, in no event shall the Stockholder or any of its Affiliates
be liable under or in connection with this Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement or any Ancillary Document to which the
Stockholder is a party or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby for an amount in excess of the value
of that portion of the Adjusted Transaction Share Consideration (determined by reference to the Tailwind Share Value) that that
has been paid to, or is or would otherwise be payable to, the Stockholder in connection with the transactions contemplated by the
Business Combination Agreement; provided, that to the extent the Stockholder is a party to the Bridge Financing Agreement
and/or a PIPE Subscription Agreement, nothing in the immediately foregoing sentence shall limit or otherwise affect the Stockholder’s
obligation to perform or comply with its agreements, covenants and obligations set forth in the Bridge Financing Agreement or such
PIPE Subscription Agreement, as applicable, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein.

16.                  No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly set forth herein, including
in Section 10, 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 by reason of this Agreement. Nothing in
this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall create any relationship among the Parties as agents, partners or
participants in a joint venture or any similar relationship.


 


17.               Miscellaneous.
Sections 8.5 (Governing Law), 8.7 (Construction; Interpretation), 8.10 (Severability), 8.11 (Counterparts; Electronic Signatures),
8.15 (Waiver of Jury Trial) and 8.16 (Submission to Jurisdiction) of the Business Combination Agreement are incorporated herein
by reference and shall apply to this Agreement, mutatis mutandis.
