Re: Initial Public
Offering


 


Ladies and Gentlemen:


 


This letter (this “Letter
Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting
Agreement”) entered into by and among Senior Connect Acquisition Corp. I, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as representative (the “Representative”) of the several underwriters
(each, an “Underwriter” and collectively, the “Underwriters”), relating
to an underwritten initial public offering (the “Public Offering”), of up to 34,500,000 of the
Company’s units (including up to 4,500,000 units that may be purchased by the Underwriters 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 “Class A Common Stock”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant
(each, a “Warrant”) entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price
of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described in the Prospectus (as defined below). The Units will be sold in the Public
Offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 and prospectus (the “Prospectus”) filed by
the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and the Company has applied
to have the Units listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 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, each of Health Connect Acquisitions
Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”) and the undersigned individuals, each
of whom is a member of the Company’s board of directors and/or management team (each of the undersigned individuals, an “Insider”
and collectively, the “Insiders”), hereby agrees with the Company as follows:


 


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


 






     


     


    

 


2. The Sponsor and
each Insider hereby agrees that in the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24 months from
the closing of the Public Offering, or such later period approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the Company’s
amended and restated certificate of incorporation (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 (i) cease all operations except for the purpose
of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the shares
of Class A Common Stock sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering (the “Offering Shares”),
at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (as defined below), including
interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (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’ (as defined below) rights as stockholders (including the right to receive
further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to
the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve,
subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements
of applicable law. The Sponsor and each Insider agrees to not propose any amendment to the Charter to modify the substance or timing
of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with its initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of
the Offering Shares if the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within the required time period set forth in the
Charter or with respect to any other 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.


 


The Sponsor and each
Insider 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. The Sponsor and each Insider hereby further waives, with respect to any shares of Common Stock held by it, him
or her, if any, any redemption rights it, he or she may have in connection with (A) the consummation of a Business Combination,
including, without limitation, any such rights available in the context of a stockholder vote to approve such Business Combination,
or (B) a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Charter to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation
to allow redemption in connection with its initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company
has not consummated a Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Charter or with respect to any other provisions
relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity or in the context of a tender offer made by
the Company to purchase Offering Shares (although the Sponsor, the Insiders and their respective affiliates shall be entitled to
redemption and liquidation rights with respect to any Offering Shares it or they hold if the Company fails to consummate a Business
Combination within the time period set forth in the Charter).


 


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 Representative, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate,
pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, 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 of Common Stock (including, but not limited to, Founder Shares), Warrants
or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock owned by it, him or her, (ii) enter
into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership
of any Units, shares of Common Stock (including, but not limited to, Founder Shares), Warrants or any securities convertible into,
or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock owned by it, him or her, whether any such transaction is to be settled
by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified
in clause (i) or (ii).


 






    2


     


    

 


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


 


5. To the extent that
the 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) in full, the Sponsor agrees to 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. 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 an aggregate of 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Class A
Common Stock after the Public Offering (not including shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Warrants or Private Placement
Warrants (as defined below)). The Sponsor further agrees that to the extent that the size of the Public Offering is increased or
decreased, the Company will purchase or sell Units or effect a share repurchase or share capitalization, as applicable, immediately
prior to the consummation of the Public Offering in such amount as to maintain the ownership of the initial shareholders prior
to the Public Offering at 20.0% of its issued and outstanding Capital Shares upon the consummation of the Public Offering. In connection
with such increase or decrease in the size of the Public Offering, then (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 Public 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 first sentence
of this paragraph shall be adjusted to such number of Founder Shares that the Sponsor would have to surrender to the Company in
order for the initial shareholders to hold an aggregate of 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Class
A Common Stock after the Public Offering (not including shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Warrants or Private Placement
Warrants).


 


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


 






    3


     


    

 


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


 


(b) The Sponsor and each
Insider agrees that it, he or she shall not Transfer any Private Placement Warrants (or any share of Class A Common Stock issued
or issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants), until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination
(the “Private Placement Warrants Lock-up Period”, together with the Founder Shares Lock-up Period, the
“Lock-up Periods”).


 


(c) Notwithstanding the
provisions set forth in paragraphs 7(a) and (b), Transfers of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and shares of Class
A Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Private Placement Warrants or the Founder Shares that
are held by the Sponsor, any Insider or any of their permitted transferees (that have complied with this paragraph 7(c)), are permitted
(a) to the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliate or family member of any of the Company’s officers or directors,
any affiliate of the Sponsor or to any members of the Sponsor or any of their affiliates; (b) in the case of an individual, by
gift to a member of such individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of such individual’s
immediate family, an affiliate of such individual or to a charitable organization; (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue
of laws of descent and distribution upon death of such individual; (d) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic
relations order; (e) by private sales or transfers made in connection with 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 securities
were originally purchased; (f) in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to the completion of an initial Business Combination;
(g) by virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware or the Sponsor’s limited liability company agreement upon dissolution
of the Sponsor; or (h) in the event of the Company’s liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other
similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class
A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the Company’s completion of an initial Business Combination;
provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) through (e) or (g), 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 Agreement (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
and contains all of the information required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 401 of Regulation S-K, promulgated under the Securities
Act. The Sponsor and each Insider’s questionnaire furnished to the Company and the Representative 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 (i) involving fraud, (ii) relating to any financial transaction or handling of funds of another person, or (iii) pertaining
to any dealings in any securities and it, he or she is not currently a defendant in any such criminal proceeding.

9. Except as disclosed
in the Prospectus, neither the Sponsor nor any officer, nor any affiliate of the Sponsor or any officer, nor any director of the
Company, shall receive from the Company any finder’s fee, reimbursement, consulting fee, 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: repayment of a loan and advances up to an aggregate of $300,000 made to the Company by the Sponsor; payments
to the Sponsor for certain office space, secretarial and administrative services as may be reasonably required by the Company of
$10,000 per month; reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and
completing an initial Business Combination, and repayment of loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined by the Company
from time to time, made by the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or any of the Company’s officers or directors to finance
transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, provided, that, if the Company does not consummate
an initial Business Combination, a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account may be used by the Company to
repay such loaned amounts so long as no proceeds from the Trust Account are used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans
may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical
to the Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period.


 


10. The Sponsor and
each Insider represents and warrants that it, he or she 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.

reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Company and one or more businesses; (ii) “Common Stock”
shall mean the Class A common stock and Class B common stock; (iii) “Founder Shares” shall mean the 8,625,000

if the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the Underwriters); (iv) “Initial Stockholders”
shall mean the Sponsor and any Insider that holds Founder Shares; (v) “Private Placement Warrants” shall
mean the 8,000,000 Warrants (or 8,900,000 Warrants 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 (or $8,900,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full), or

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.


 


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 Company, the

17. This Letter Agreement
shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not affect the validity

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. 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 or facsimile
