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 Jeneration Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”),
Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (the “Representatives”), as the representatives
of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering
(the “Public Offering”) of 34,500,000 of the Company’s units (including up to 4,500,000 units that
may be purchased to cover over-allotments, if any) (the “Units”), each comprised of one Class A ordinary
share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A ordinary shares”), and one-fourth of one
redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant (each, a “Warrant”) entitles the holder thereof to purchase one
Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units shall 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 Company shall apply to have the Units listed
on the Nasdaq Capital Market. 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, Jeneration Acquisition LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company
(the “Sponsor”), and the other undersigned persons (each, an “Insider” and
collectively, the “Insiders”), hereby agrees with the Company as follows:


 


1.       Each
of the Sponsor and the Insiders agrees with the Company that if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination,
then in connection with such proposed Business Combination, it, he or she shall (i) vote any Shares owned by it, him or her in
favor of any proposed Business Combination, including any related proposals, and (ii) not redeem any Shares owned by it, him or
her in connection with such shareholder approval. If the Company seeks to consummate a proposed Business Combination by engaging
in a tender offer, each of the Sponsor and the Insiders agrees that it, he or she will not sell or tender any Shares owned by it,
him or her in connection therewith.


 


2.       Each
of the Sponsor and the Insiders hereby agrees with the Company 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 shareholders
in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, 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 ten (10) business days thereafter, subject to lawfully available funds therefor,
redeem 100% of the Class A ordinary shares 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 (which
interest shall be net of taxes payable and 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 Shareholders’ rights as shareholders
(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 shareholders and the Company’s
board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Cayman
Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all other cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law. Each
of the Sponsor and the Insiders agrees to not propose any amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and
articles of association (a) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in
connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company does not


 




    1 


    	 



    


complete a Business Combination within 24
months from the closing of the Public Offering or (b) with respect to any provision relating to the rights of the Public Shareholders,
unless the Company provides its Public Shareholders 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 (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares.


 


Each of the Sponsor and the Insiders acknowledges
that it, he or she has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or any other
asset of the Company as a result of any liquidation of the Company with respect to the Founder Shares held by it, him or her, if
any. The Sponsor and each Insider hereby further waives, with respect to any Shares 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 shareholder vote to approve such Business Combination or in the context of a tender offer
made by the Company to purchase Class A ordinary shares, or a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended
and restated memorandum and articles of association (a) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation
to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares
if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering or (b) with respect
to any provision relating to the rights of the holders of Public Shares (although the Sponsor and the Insiders 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 24 months from the date of the closing of the Public Offering).


 


3.       Notwithstanding
the provisions set forth in paragraphs 7(a) and (b) below, 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, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction that is designed
to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition
due to cash settlement or otherwise)), directly or indirectly, or 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, Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, Class A ordinary shares
or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction. Any release or waiver granted under this paragraph or paragraph
7 below shall only be effective two business days after the publication date of a press release through a major news service. 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, the Sponsor (which for purposes of clarification shall not extend to any other
equityholders, 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 (i) any third party (other than the Company’s independent
public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to the Company or (ii) a prospective target business with which the
Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement (a “Target”); provided, however,
that such 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 (i) $10.00 per share of the Offering Shares or (ii)
such lesser amount per share of the Offering Shares held in the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets
as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, in each case, net of the amount of interest earned on the property in the
Trust Account which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party (including a Target) who executed a
waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account 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. In the event
that any such executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against such third party, the Sponsor shall not be responsible to the
extent of any liability for such third party claims. 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 4,500,000 Units within
45 days from the date of the Prospectus (and as further described in the Prospectus), the Sponsor agrees that it shall forfeit,
at no cost, a number of Founder Shares in the aggregate equal to 1,125,000 multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which
is 4,500,000 minus the number of Units purchased by the Underwriters upon the exercise of their over-allotment option, and (ii)
the denominator of which is 4,500,000.


 


All references in this Letter Agreement
to Founder Shares of the Company being forfeited shall take effect as surrenders for no consideration of such Founder Shares as
a matter of Cayman Islands law. The forfeiture will be adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in
full by the Underwriters so that the Founder Shares will represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares immediately
after the Public Offering. The Initial Shareholders further agree that to the extent that the size of the Public Offering is increased
or decreased, the Company will effect a capitalization or share surrender, repurchase or redemption or other appropriate mechanism,
as applicable, immediately prior to the consummation of the Public Offering in such amount as to maintain the Founder Shares at
20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares upon the consummation of the Public Offering. In connection with such
increase or decrease in the size of the Public Offering, (A) the references to 4,500,000 in the numerator and denominator of the
formula in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be changed to a number equal to 15% of the number of Class A ordinary shares
included in the Units issued in the Public Offering and (B) the reference to 1,125,000 in the formula set forth in the immediately
preceding sentence shall be adjusted to such number of Founder Shares that the Founder Shares would represent an aggregate of 20%
of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares after the Public Offering.


 


6.       Each
of the Sponsor and the Insiders hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (i) the Underwriters and the Company would be irreparably
injured in the event of a breach by such Sponsor or 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 seek 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)
Each of the Sponsor and the Insiders agrees that it, he or she shall not Transfer any Founder Shares (or Class A ordinary shares
issuable upon conversion thereof) until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of the Company’s initial Business
Combination and (B) subsequent to the Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares
equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, 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, amalgamation,
share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the
right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property (the “Founder Shares Lock-up
Period”).


 


(b)       Each
of the Sponsor and the Insiders agrees that it, he or she shall not Transfer any Private Placement Warrants (or Class A ordinary
shares issued or issuable upon the conversion or 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 Class A ordinary
shares issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Private Placement Warrants or the Founder Shares, are permitted
(a) 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; (b) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of the individual’s
immediate family, or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family or an affiliate
of such person, or to a charitable organization; (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution
upon death of the 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 Business Combination at prices no greater than
the price at which the securities were originally purchased; (f) in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to the Company’s
completion of an initial Business Combination; (g) by virtue of the laws of Cayman Islands or the Sponsor’s limited liability
company agreement, as amended from time to time, upon dissolution of the Sponsor; or (h) in the event of the Company’s completion
of a liquidation, merger, amalgamation, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction which results in all of the
Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities


 




    3 


    	 



    

or other property subsequent to
the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination; provided, however, that, in the case of clauses (a) through
(e) and (g), these permitted transferees (the “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
(including provisions relating to voting, the Trust Account and liquidation distributions).


 


8.       Each
of the Sponsor and the Insiders 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, if any (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 such Insider’s
background. The Sponsor and each Insider’s questionnaires furnished to the Company, if any, is true and accurate in all respects.
Each of the Sponsor and the Insiders 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 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, non-cash payments,
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: (i) repayment of an aggregate of up to $300,000 in loans made to the Company by the Sponsor
to cover offering-related and organizational expenses; (ii) reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying,
investigating and consummating an initial Business Combination; (iii) payment of any fees related to compensation of any of the
Company’s officers or directors; and (iv) repayment of loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined by the Company
from time to time, made by the Sponsor, any of the Company’s officers or directors or their affiliates 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.


 


10.       Each
of the Sponsor and the Insiders 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 director on the board of directors of the Company and hereby consents
to being named in the Prospectus as an officer/and or director of the Company.


 


11. The Company will maintain an insurance
policy or policies providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, and each Insider who is a director of the
Company shall be covered by such policy or policies, in accordance with its or their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage
available for any of the Company’s directors or officers.


 


12.       As

purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Company and one or more businesses; (ii) “Shares”
shall mean, collectively, the Class A ordinary shares and the Class B ordinary shares; (iii) “Founder Shares”

that holds Founder Shares; (v) “Private Placement Warrants” shall mean the Warrants to purchase up to
5,333,333 Class A ordinary shares of the Company (or 5,933,333 Class A ordinary shares if the over-allotment option is exercised
in full) that the Sponsor has agreed to purchase for an aggregate purchase price of $8,000,000 in the aggregate (or $8,900,000
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; (vi) “Public 


 




    4 


    	 



    

Shareholders” shall mean
the holders of securities issued in the Public Offering; (vii) “Trust Account” shall mean the trust fund
into which a portion of the net proceeds of the Public Offering shall be deposited; and (viii) “Transfer”

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, (b) 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 (c) public announcement
of any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (a) or (b).


 


13.       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 the Sponsor and each Insider that is the subject of any such change, amendment modification or
waiver.


 


14.       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.


 


15. 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 agreement hereof. All covenants, conditions,
stipulations, promises and agreements contained in this Letter Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties
hereto and their successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns and Permitted Transferees.

any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.


 


17.       This
Letter Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of this Letter Agreement or of any other term or provision hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of any such
invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part of this Letter Agreement
a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid and enforceable.


 


18.       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 (i) 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 (ii) waive any objection to such exclusive
jurisdiction and venue or that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.


 


19.       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

respect to any other Insider), and no party
shall be liable or responsible for the obligations of another party, including, without limitation, indemnification obligations

provided, however, that this Letter Agreement shall earlier terminate in the event that the Public Offering is not
consummated and closed by January 1, 2022; provided further that paragraph 4 of this Letter Agreement shall survive such liquidation.
