FORWARD PURCHASE AGREEMENT


 


This Forward Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”)
is entered into as of January [●], 2021, by and between Pontem Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the
“Company”), and the party listed as the purchaser on the signature page hereof (the “Purchaser”).


 


WHEREAS, the Company was incorporated for
the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination
with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”);


 


WHEREAS, the Company has filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a draft registration statement on Form S-1
(the “Registration Statement”) for its initial public offering (“IPO”)
of units (the “Public Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, each comprised of one Class A
ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Share(s)”), and
one-third of one redeemable warrant, where each whole redeemable warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A Share at an
exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Warrant(s)”);


 


WHEREAS, following the closing of the IPO
(the “IPO Closing”), the Company will seek to identify and consummate a Business Combination;
and


 


WHEREAS, the parties wish to enter into
this Agreement, pursuant to which immediately prior to the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination (the “Business
Combination Closing”), the Company shall issue and sell, and the Purchaser shall purchase, on a private placement
basis, up to $150,000,000, but in no event less than $50,000,000, of units, at a price of $10.00 per unit, each comprised of one
Class A Share (the “Forward Purchase Shares”) and one-third of one warrant to purchase one Class
A Share at an exercise price of $11.50 (the “Forward Purchase Warrants” and, together with the
Forward Purchase Shares, the “Forward Purchase Securities”) on the terms and conditions set forth
herein.


 


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


 


1. Sale
and Purchase.


 


(a) Forward
Purchase Securities.


 


(i) The
Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, (1) the number of Forward
Purchase Shares that is the quotient of (x) the amount of capital committed to the Purchaser and allocated to this Agreement
as notified by the Purchaser to the Company as promptly as practicable after the date hereof and no later than five (5) Business
Days prior to such time as any definitive agreement with respect to a Business Combination is executed by the Company (the “Allocation
Notice”), which amount shall be no more than $150,000,000 and no less than $50,000,000, in the Purchaser’s
sole discretion, and (y) $10.00 (the “Number of Forward Purchase Shares”), plus (2) the
number of Forward Purchase Warrants which is the product of (x) the number of Forward Purchase Shares as determined by clause
(1) and (y) 1/3 (the “Number of Forward Purchase Warrants”) for an aggregate purchase
price of $10.00 multiplied by the number of Forward Purchase Shares issued and sold hereunder (the “FPS Purchase
Price”). No fractional Forward Purchase Warrants will be issued.


 






     


     


    

 


(ii) Each
Forward Purchase Warrant will have the same terms as the Company’s private placement warrants, purchased by Pontem LLC in
a private placement occurring simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, and will be subject to the terms and conditions of the
Warrant Agreement to be entered into between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Warrant Agent,
in connection with the IPO (the “Warrant Agreement”). Each Forward Purchase Warrant will entitle
the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described in the
Warrant Agreement and only whole Forward Purchase Warrants will be exercisable. The Forward Purchase Warrants will become exercisable
on the later of 30 days after the Business Combination Closing and 12 months from the IPO Closing, and will expire five years after
the Business Combination Closing or earlier upon redemption or the liquidation of the Company, as described in the Warrant Agreement.


 


(iii) The
Company shall deliver written notice to the Purchaser as early as practicable, and in any case at least eleven (11) Business Days
before the funding of the FPS Purchase Price to the Escrow Account (defined below), specifying the anticipated date of the Business
Combination Closing, the aggregate FPS Purchase Price and instructions for wiring the FPS Purchase Price to an account (the “Escrow
Account”) of a third-party escrow agent, which shall be the Company’s transfer agent (the “Escrow
Agent”), pursuant to an escrow agreement between the Company and the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow
Agreement”). Two (2) Business Days before the anticipated date of the Business Combination Closing specified
in such written notice, the Purchaser shall deliver the FPS Purchase Price in cash via wire transfer to the account specified in
such written notice, to be held in escrow pending the Business Combination Closing. If the Business Combination Closing does not
occur within thirty (30) days after the Purchaser delivers the FPS Purchase Price to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agreement will
provide that the Escrow Agent shall automatically return to the Purchaser the FPS Purchase Price; provided that the return
of the FPS Purchase Price placed in escrow shall not terminate the Agreement or otherwise relieve either party of any of its obligations
hereunder. The Purchaser agrees that it shall cooperate in good faith and use reasonable best efforts to effect the funding of
the FPS Purchase Price on such notice as necessary to facilitate the consummation of the proposed Business Combination. For the
purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, that
is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law or regulation to
close in the City of New York, New York.


 


(iv) The
closing of the sale of the Forward Purchase Securities (the “FPS Closing”) shall be held on the
same date as, and immediately prior to, the Business Combination Closing (such date being referred to as the “Closing
Date”). At the FPS Closing, the Company will issue to the Purchaser the Forward Purchase Securities, registered
in the name of the Purchaser, against (and concurrently with) release of the FPS Purchase Price by the Escrow Agent to the Company.

(b) Delivery
of Forward Purchase Securities.


 


(i) The Company shall register
the Purchaser as the owner of the Forward Purchase Securities purchased by the Purchaser hereunder in the register of members
of the Company (in respect of the Class A Shares) and with the Company’s transfer agent by book entry on or promptly
after (but in no event more than two (2) Business Days after) the date of the FPS Closing.


 


(ii) Each
register and book entry for the Forward Purchase Securities purchased by the Purchaser hereunder shall contain a notation, and
each certificate (if any) evidencing the Forward Purchase Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend, in
substantially the following form:


 


“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION, AND
MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN VIOLATION OF SUCH ACT AND LAWS.”


 


(c) Legend
Removal. If the Forward Purchase Securities are eligible to be sold without restriction under, and without the Company being
in compliance with the current public information requirements of, Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), then at the Purchaser’s request, the Company will, at its sole expense,
cause the Company’s transfer agent to remove the legend set forth in Section 1(b)(ii) hereof. In connection therewith,
if required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company will promptly cause an opinion of counsel to be delivered to and
maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer
agent, that authorize and direct the transfer agent to transfer such Forward Purchase Securities without any such legend; provided,
however, that the Company will not be required to deliver any such opinion, authorization or certificate or direction if
it reasonably believes that removal of the legend could reasonably be expected to result in or facilitate transfers of Forward
Purchase Securities in violation of applicable law.


 


(d) Registration
Rights. The Purchaser shall have registration rights with respect to the Forward Purchase Securities as set forth on Exhibit A
(the “Registration Rights”).


 


2. Representations
and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company as follows, as of the date hereof:


 


(a) Organization
and Power. The Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
formation (if the concept of “good standing” is a recognized concept in such jurisdiction) and has all requisite power
and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted.


 


(b) Authorization.
The Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Purchaser,
will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and any other laws of general application
affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific
performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, or (iii) to the extent the indemnification provisions contained
in the Registration Rights may be limited by applicable federal or state securities laws.


 






    3


     


    

 


(c) Governmental
Consents and Filings. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration
or filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority is required on the part of the Purchaser in connection with
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.


 


(d) Compliance
with Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation by
the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in any violation or default (i) of any provisions
of its organizational documents, if applicable, (ii) of any instrument, judgment, order, writ or decree to which it is a party
or by which it is bound, (iii) under any note, indenture or mortgage to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (iv) under
any lease, agreement, contract or purchase order to which it is a party or by which it is bound or (v) of any provision of
federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Purchaser, in each case (other than clause (i)), which would
have a material adverse effect on the Purchaser or its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.


 


(e) Purchase
Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with the Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser’s representation to
the Company, which by the Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby confirms, that the Forward Purchase
Securities to be acquired by the Purchaser will be acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee
or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Purchaser has no present intention
of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of law. By executing this Agreement,
the Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement
with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to any of the Forward
Purchase Securities. If the Purchaser was formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Forward Purchase Securities, each of
its equity owners is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities
Act. For purposes of this Agreement, “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company,
a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity or any government or any
department or agency thereof.


 


(f) Disclosure
of Information. The Purchaser has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management, financial affairs
and the terms and conditions of the offering and sale of the Forward Purchase Securities, as well as the terms of the IPO, with
the Company’s management.


 


(g) Restricted
Securities. The Purchaser understands that the offer and sale of the Forward Purchase Securities to the Purchaser has not been,
and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the
Securities Act that depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s
representations as expressed herein. The Purchaser understands that the Forward Purchase Securities are “restricted securities”
under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Purchaser must hold the Forward Purchase
Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the SEC and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration
and qualification requirements is available. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify
the Forward Purchase Securities, or any Class A Shares that the Forward Purchase Securities may be converted into or exercised
for, for resale, except pursuant to the Registration Rights. The Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration
or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner
of sale, the holding period for the Forward Purchase Securities, and requirements relating to the Company that are outside of the
Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy. The Purchaser acknowledges
that the Company filed the Registration Statement for the IPO with the SEC. The Purchaser understands that the offering of the
Forward Purchase Securities hereunder is not, and is not intended to be, part of the IPO, and that the Purchaser will not be able
to rely on the protection of Section 11 of the Securities Act with respect to such offering of the Forward Purchase Securities.


 






    4


     


    

 


(h) No
Public Market. The Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Forward Purchase Securities, and that the
Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Forward Purchase Securities.


 


(i) High
Degree of Risk. The Purchaser understands that its agreement to purchase the Forward Purchase Securities involves a high degree
of risk which could cause the Purchaser to lose all or part of its investment.


 


(j) Accredited
Investor. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated
under the Securities Act.


 


(k) Foreign
Investors. If the Purchaser is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the U.S. Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended), the Purchaser hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of
its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Forward Purchase Securities or any use of this Agreement,
including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Forward Purchase Securities, (ii) any
foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained,
and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale,
or transfer of the Forward Purchase Securities. The Purchaser’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership
of the Forward Purchase Securities will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Purchaser’s jurisdiction.


 


(l) No
General Solicitation. Neither the Purchaser, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders or partners
has either directly or indirectly, including through a broker or finder, (i) to its knowledge, engaged in any general solicitation,
or (ii) published any advertisement in connection with the offer and sale of the Forward Purchase Securities.


 


(m) Residence.
The principal place of business of the Purchaser is the office located at the address of the Purchaser set forth on the signature
page hereof.


 


(n) Non-Public
Information. The Purchaser acknowledges its obligations under applicable securities laws with respect to the treatment of material
non-public information relating to the Company.


 






    5


     


    

 


(o) Adequacy
of Financing. The Purchaser has, or will have, from and after receipt of capital commitments not subject to opt-out rights
(or for which the party with such opt-out rights has agreed to fund in respect of this Agreement) in an aggregate amount not less
than the FPS Purchase Price, available to it sufficient funds to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement.


 


(p) Affiliation
of Certain FINRA Members. The Purchaser is neither a person associated nor affiliated with any underwriter of the IPO or, to
its actual knowledge, any other member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”)
that is participating in the IPO.


 


(q) No
Other Representations and Warranties; Non-Reliance. Except for the specific representations and warranties contained in this
Section 2 and in any certificate or agreement delivered pursuant hereto, none of the Purchaser nor any person acting on behalf
of the Purchaser nor any of the Purchaser’s affiliates (the “Purchaser Parties”) has made,
makes or shall be deemed to make any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Purchaser and the
offering, sale and purchase of the Forward Purchase Securities, and the Purchaser Parties disclaim any such representation or warranty.
Except for the specific representations and warranties expressly made by the Company in Section 3 of this Agreement and in
any certificate or agreement delivered pursuant hereto, the Purchaser Parties specifically disclaim that they are relying upon
any other representations or warranties that may have been made by the Company, any person on behalf of the Company or any of the

as of the date hereof and shall be true and correct as of the FPS Closing, as applicable, with the same effect as though such representations
and warranties had been made on and as of such date (other than any such representation or warranty that is made by its terms as
of a specified date, which shall be true and correct as of such specified date), except where the failure to be so true and correct
would not have a material adverse effect on the Purchaser or its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;


 


(iii) The
Purchaser shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required
by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Purchaser at or prior to the FPS Closing; and


 


(iv) No
order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination, or award shall have been entered or threatened by or with any governmental,
regulatory, or administrative authority or any court, tribunal, or judicial, or arbitral body, and no other legal restraint or
prohibition shall be in effect or threatened, preventing the purchase by the Purchaser of the Forward Purchase Securities.


 


7. Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the FPS Closing:


 


(a) by
mutual written consent of the Company and the Purchaser; or


 


(b) automatically:


 


(i) if
the IPO is not consummated on or prior to twelve months from the date of this Agreement; or


 


(ii) if
the Business Combination is not consummated within 24 months from the  IPO Closing, or such later date as may be approved
by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the Articles.


 


In the event of any termination of this Agreement
pursuant to this Section 7, the FPS Purchase Price (and interest thereon, if any), if previously paid, and all Purchaser’s
funds paid in connection herewith shall be promptly returned to the Purchaser in accordance with written instructions provided
by the Purchaser to the Company, and thereafter this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and have no effect, without
any liability on the part of the Purchaser or the Company and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers,
members, or shareholders and all rights and obligations of each party shall cease; provided, however, that nothing
contained in this Section 7 shall relieve either party from liabilities or damages arising out of any fraud or willful breach
by such party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.  Section 4(a) shall
survive termination of this Agreement.

interpretation of this Agreement.

contract, tort, statute, law or equity) shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and interpreted pursuant to the laws
of the State of New York, without giving effect to its choice of laws principles.


 






    12


     


    

 


(j) Jurisdiction.
The parties (i) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the state courts of New York and to the
jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any suit, action or other
proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement, (ii) agree not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising
out of or based upon this Agreement except in state courts of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District
of New York, and (iii) hereby waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit,
action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property
is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that
the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced
in or by such court.


 


(k) Waiver
of Jury Trial. The parties hereto hereby waive any right to a jury trial in connection with any litigation pursuant to this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.


 


(l) Amendments.
This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except with the prior written consent of
the Company and the Purchaser.


 


(m) Severability.
The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect
the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided that if any provision of this Agreement, as applied
to any party hereto or to any circumstance, is adjudged by a governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator not to be enforceable
in accordance with its terms, the parties hereto agree that the governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator making such determination
will have the power to modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable, and/or to delete
specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision will then be enforceable and will be enforced.


 


(n) Expenses.
Each of the Company and the Purchaser will be responsible for payment of its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the preparation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including
all fees and expenses of agents, representatives, financial advisors, legal counsel and accountants. The Company shall be responsible
for the fees of its transfer agent; stamp taxes and all of The Depository Trust Company’s fees associated with the issuance
and resale of the Forward Purchase Securities and the securities issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Forward Purchase Securities.


 


(o) Construction.
The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of
intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption
or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.
Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign law will be deemed also to refer to law as amended and all rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,”
and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine,
feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to
include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,”
“hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to
this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each
representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any
representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty
or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has
not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty,
or covenant.


 


(p) Waiver.
No waiver by any party hereto of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional
or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder
or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent occurrence.


 


(q) Specific
Performance. The Purchaser agrees that irreparable damage may occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed
by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Company shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms
hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.

Exhibit A


 


Registration Rights


 


1. Within
thirty (30) days after the Business Combination Closing, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts (i) to file a registration
statement on Form S-3 for a secondary offering (including any successor registration statement covering the resale of the
Registrable Securities, a “Resale Shelf”) of (x) the Class A Shares and Forward Purchase
Warrants (and underlying Class A Shares) comprising the Forward Purchase Securities and (y) any other equity security
of the Company issued or issuable with respect to the securities referred to in clause (x) by way of a share capitalization
or share split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or reorganization (collectively,
for so long as such securities are held by the Purchaser or its assignees under the Agreement (each, a “Holder”),
the “Registrable Securities”) pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act; provided
that if Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall register the resale of the Registrable Securities
on another appropriate form and undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available,
(ii) to cause the Resale Shelf to be declared effective under the Securities Act promptly thereafter, but in no event later
than sixty (60) days after the initial filing of the Resale Shelf, and (iii) to maintain the effectiveness of such Resale
Shelf with respect to the Registrable Securities until the earliest of (A) the date on which such securities are no longer
Registrable Securities and (B) the date all of the Registrable Securities covered by the Resale Shelf can be sold publicly
without restriction or limitation under Rule 144 under the Securities Act and without the requirement to be in compliance
with Rule 144(c)(1) under the Securities Act.


 


2. The
Holders may, after the Resale Shelf becomes effective, deliver a written notice to the Company (the “Underwritten
Offering Notice”) specifying that the sale of some or all of the Registrable Securities subject to the Resale
Shelf is intended to be conducted through a firm commitment underwritten offering (an “Underwritten Offering”); provided, however,
that the Holders of Registrable Securities may not, without the Company’s prior written consent, (i) launch an Underwritten
Offering the anticipated gross proceeds of which shall be less than $10,000,000 (unless the Holders are proposing to sell all of
their remaining Registrable Securities), (ii) launch more than three Underwritten Offerings at the request of the Holders
within any three-hundred sixty-five (365) day-period or (iii) launch an Underwritten Offering within the period commencing
fourteen (14) days prior to and ending two (2) days following the Company’s scheduled earnings release date for any
fiscal quarter or year.  In the event of an Underwritten Offering, the Holders representing a majority-in-interest of the
Registrable Securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering shall select the managing underwriter(s) for the Underwritten
Offering; provided that the choice of such managing underwriter(s) shall be subject to the consent of the
Company, which is not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  If the underwriter(s) for any Underwritten
Offering pursuant to this paragraph 2 of this Exhibit A (each, a “Secondary Offering”)
advise the Company and the Holders that, in their good faith opinion, marketing factors require a limitation on the number of securities
that may be included in such Secondary Offering, the number of securities to be so included shall be allocated as follows: (i) first,
to the Holders that have requested to participate in such Secondary Offering, allocated pro rata among such Holders on the
basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Secondary Offering by such Holders, and
(ii) second, to the holders of any other securities of the Company that have been requested to be so included.


 






    A-1


     


    

 


3. Upon
receipt of prior written notice by any Holder that they intend to effect a sale of Registrable Securities held by them as are then
registered pursuant to the Resale Shelf, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate in such sale (whether or
not such sale constitutes an Underwritten Offering), including by amending or supplementing the prospectus related to such Resale
Shelf as may be reasonably requested by such Holder for so long as such Holder holds Registrable Securities.


 


4. In
the event the Company is prohibited by applicable rule, regulation or interpretation by the staff (the “Staff”)
of the SEC from registering all of the Registrable Securities on the Resale Shelf or the Staff requires that any Holder be specifically
identified as an “underwriter” in order to permit such registration statement to become effective, and such Holder
does not consent in writing to being so named as an underwriter in such registration statement, the number of Registrable Securities
to be registered on the Resale Shelf will be reduced on a pro rata basis among all Holders to be so included, unless otherwise
required by the Staff, so that the number of Registrable Securities to be registered is permitted by the Staff and such Holder
is not required to be named as an “underwriter”; provided, that any Registrable Securities not registered due
to this paragraph 4 shall thereafter as soon as allowed by the SEC guidance be registered to the extent the prohibition no
longer is applicable.


 


5. If
at any time the Company proposes to file a registration statement (a “Registration Statement”)
on its own behalf, or on behalf of any other Persons who have registration rights (“Other Holders”),
relating to an Underwritten Offering of ordinary shares (a “Company Offering”), then the Company
will provide the Holders with notice in writing (an “Offer Notice”) at least three (3) Business
Days prior to such filing, which Offer Notice will offer to include in the Registration Statement the Registrable Securities held
by each Holder (the “Piggyback Securities”). Within three (3) Business Days after receiving
the Offer Notice, each Holder may make a written request (a “Piggyback Request”) to the Company
to include some or all of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement. If the underwriter(s) for
any Company Offering advise the Company that, in their good faith opinion, marketing factors require a limitation on the number
of securities that may be included in the Company Offering, the number of securities to be so included shall be allocated as follows:
(i) first, to the Company and the Other Holders, if any; and (ii) second, to the Holders and any other holders of similar
piggyback rights, based pro rata on the value of the securities requested to be sold in such Company Offering by each requesting
holder.


 


6. In
connection with any Underwritten Offering, the Company shall enter into such customary agreements and take all such other actions
in connection therewith (including those requested by Holders representing a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities
to be included in such Underwritten Offering) in order to facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities as are reasonably
necessary or required, and in such connection enter into a customary underwriting agreement that provides for customary opinions,
comfort letters and officer’s certificates and other customary deliverables.


 






    A-2


     


    

 


7. The
Company shall pay all fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with its obligation to prepare, file and maintain
the Resale Shelf (including the fees of its counsel and accountants). The Company shall also pay all Registration Expenses. For
purposes of this paragraph 7, “Registration Expenses” shall mean the out-of-pocket expenses
of any Secondary Offering and any Company Offering, including, without limitation, the following: (i) all registration and
filing fees (including fees with respect to filings required to be made with FINRA and any securities exchange on which the Registrable
Securities are then listed); (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees
and disbursements of counsel for the underwriters in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities); (iii) printing,
messenger, telephone and delivery expenses; (iv) reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company; (v) reasonable
fees and disbursements of all independent registered public accountants of the Company; and (vi) reasonable fees and expenses
of one (1) legal counsel selected by Holders representing a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities participating
in any such Secondary Offering not to exceed $75,000 per Secondary Offering, but shall not include any incremental selling expenses
relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, underwriter
marketing costs and, other than as set forth in clause (vi) of this paragraph 7, the fees and expenses of any legal counsel
representing the Holders; and provided that the Company shall only be responsible for expenses under clause (vi) with respect to
two Secondary Offerings in any consecutive three-hundred sixty-five (365) day-period.


 


8. The
Company may suspend the use of a prospectus included in the Resale Shelf by furnishing to the Holders a written notice (“Suspension
Notice”) stating that in the good faith judgment of the Company, it would be either (i) prohibited by the
Company’s insider trading policy (as if the Holders were covered by such policy) or (ii) materially detrimental to the
Company and its shareholders for such prospectus to be used at such time. The Company’s right to suspend the use of such
prospectus under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence may be exercised for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after
the date of such notice to the Holders; provided that such period may be extended for an additional thirty (30) days with
the consent of Holders representing a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld; provided further, that such right to suspend the use of a prospectus shall be exercised by the Company not more
than once in any twelve (12) month period. The Holders shall not effect any sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale
Shelf at any time after they have received a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice
(as defined below). The Holders may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Shelf following
further written notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company to the
Holders. The Company shall act in good faith to permit any suspension period contemplated by this paragraph 8 to be concluded
as promptly as reasonably practicable.


 


9. The
Holders agree that, except as required by applicable law, the Holders shall treat as confidential the receipt of any Suspension
Notice (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material non-public information of the Company) hereunder and shall
not disclose or use the information contained in such Suspension Notice without the prior written consent of the Company until
such time as the information contained therein is or becomes public, other than as a result of disclosure by a Holder of Registrable
Securities in breach of the terms of this Agreement.


 






    A-3


     


    

 


10. The
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Holders, their respective directors and officers, partners, members, managers, employees,
agents, and representatives and each person, if any, who controls a Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act and any agent thereof (collectively, “Indemnified Persons”), to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, costs (including reasonable costs
of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other
amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
in which any Indemnified Person may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, under the Securities
Act or otherwise (collectively, “Losses”), promptly as incurred, arising out of, based upon or
resulting from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Resale Shelf (or any amendment
or supplement thereto), the related prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of, are based upon or resulting
from the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be liable in any such case or to any Indemnified Person to the extent that any such Loss arises out of, is based upon
or results from an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission or so made in reliance upon or
in conformity with information furnished by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person in writing specifically for use in the preparation
of the Resale Shelf, the related prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto. Such indemnity shall remain in full force
and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person, and shall survive the transfer of such
securities by the Purchaser.


 


11. The
Company’s obligation under paragraph 1 of this Exhibit A is subject to each Holder furnishing to the Company in
writing such information as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with the Resale Shelf, the related prospectus,
or any amendment or supplement thereto. Each Holder shall indemnify the Company, its officers, directors, managers, employees,
agents and representatives, and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained
in the Resale Shelf, the related prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such
untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for inclusion in
such Resale Shelf, related prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, as applicable; provided that the obligation to indemnify
shall be individual, not joint and several, and shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by the applicable Holder
from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Shelf.


 


12. The
Company shall cooperate with the Holders, to the extent the Registrable Securities become freely tradable, to facilitate the timely
preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered
pursuant to a Resale Shelf and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Holders
may reasonably request and registered in such names as each Holder may request.


 






    A-4


     


    

 


13. If
requested by Holders representing a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall as soon as practicable,
subject to any Suspension Notice, (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information
as each Holder reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including,
without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price
being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make
all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated
in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement
if reasonably requested by Holders representing a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities.


 


14. As
long as Registrable Securities are outstanding, the Company, at all times while it shall be reporting under the Exchange Act, covenants
to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be
filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and to promptly furnish
the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings, unless filed through the SEC’s EDGAR system. The Company further
covenants that it shall take such further action as the Holders may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to
time, to enable the Holders to sell the Class A Shares and Forward Purchase Warrants held by the Holders without registration
under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act,
including providing any legal opinions, to the extent such exemption is available to the Purchaser at such time. Upon the request
of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has
complied with such requirements.
