	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 Nebula Caravel Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”) and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., William Blair & Company, L.L.C. and Stifel, Nicolaus
& Company, Incorporated (collectively, the “Representatives”), relating to an underwritten initial public
offering (the “Public Offering”), of 28,750,000 of the Company’s units (including up to 3,750,000 units
that may be purchased to cover over-allotments, if any) (the “Units”), each comprised of one share of the Company’s
Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant.
Each whole Warrant (each, a “Warrant”) entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at
a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units will be sold in the Public Offering pursuant to a registration statement
on Form S-1 and prospectus (the “Prospectus”) filed by the Company with the 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 Representatives 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, Nebula Caravel Holdings,
LLC (the “Sponsor”) and each of the undersigned individuals, each of whom is a member of the Company’s
board of directors and/or management team (each, an “Insider” and collectively, the “Insiders”),
hereby severally (and not jointly and severally) 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 Capital Stock 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 Capital 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 (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 not more than 10 business days thereafter, subject to lawfully available funds
therefor, redeem 100% of the Common Stock sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering (the “Offering Shares”),
at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest
(net of amounts withdrawn to fund the Company’s working capital requirements, subject to an annual limit of $500,000, and/or
to pay the Company’s taxes (“Permitted Withdrawals”)) 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
Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating 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 stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s
obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. The Sponsor and each
Insider agree to not propose any amendment to the Charter that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation
to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the required time period
set forth in the Charter or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial
business combination activity, unless the Company provides its Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Offering
Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit
in the Trust Account, including interest (net of Permitted Withdrawals), 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 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 waive, 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 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 in the context
of a tender offer made by the Company to purchase shares of Common Stock (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 or in connection with a stockholder
vote to approve an amendment to the Charter to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100%
of the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Charter
or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity).


 


3. During
the period commencing on the effective date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 180 days after such date, the Sponsor and
each Insider shall not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, (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 Capital Stock, 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 Capital
Stock, 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).


 


4. In
the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, the Sponsor (which for purposes of clarification shall not extend to any other
shareholders, members or managers of the Sponsor or any other Insider) 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 for services rendered
or products sold to the Company or (ii) any prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a letter of intent,
confidentiality or other similar agreement for a Business Combination (a “Target”); provided, however,
that such indemnification of the Company by the Sponsor (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 or (ii) the actual amount per Offering Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account,
if less than $10.00 per Offering Share is then held in the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets less
Permitted Withdrawals, (y) shall not apply to any claims by a third party (including a Target) that 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 Representatives against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Sponsor shall have the right to defend against any such claim with counsel of its choice
reasonably satisfactory to the Company if, within 15 days following written receipt of notice of the claim to the Sponsor, the
Sponsor notifies the Company in writing that it shall undertake such defense. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Company’s
officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties, including, without limitation, claims by vendors
and prospective target businesses.

5. To
the extent that the Representatives do not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 3,750,000 Units
within 45 days from the date of the Prospectus (and as further described in the Prospectus), the Sponsor agrees to forfeit, at
no cost, a number of Founder Shares in the aggregate equal to the product of 937,500 multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator
of which is 3,750,000 minus the number of Units purchased by the Representatives upon the exercise of its over-allotment option,
and (ii) the denominator of which is 3,750,000. The forfeiture will be adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment option is
not exercised in full by the Representatives so that the Initial Stockholders will own an aggregate of 20.0% of the Company’s
issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock after the Public Offering. To the extent that the size of the Public Offering is
increased or decreased, the Company will effect a capitalization or share repurchase, redemption or stock split or other appropriate
mechanism, as applicable, immediately prior to the consummation of the Public Offering in such amount as to maintain the ownership
of the Capital Stock of the Initial Stockholders prior to the Public Offering at 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding
Capital Stock upon the consummation of the Public Offering. In connection with such increase or decrease in the size of the Public
Offering, (A) references to 3,750,000in 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 shares included in the Units issued in the Public Offering and (B) the reference
to 937,500 in the formula set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be adjusted to such number of Founder Shares that
the Sponsor would have to return to the Company in order to hold (with all of the Initial Stockholders) an aggregate of 20.0%
of the Company’s issued and outstanding Capital Stock after the Public Offering.


 


6. (a) The
Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (i) the Representatives 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), 7(b),
and 9, 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.


 


7. (a) 
The Sponsor and each Insider agree that it or he shall not Transfer any Founder Shares (or shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion thereof) until (i) with respect to 100% of the Founder Shares, only if the closing price of the Common Stock equals
or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for
any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing any time 90 days after completion of the Business Combination
or (B) if True Wind Capital Management, L.P. provides funds toward the consummation of the Business Combination in an amount not
less than $50,000,000 in the aggregate, then with respect to 50% of the Founder Shares, the earlier to occur of: (i) 180 days
after completion of the Business Combination; or (ii) if the closing price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share
(as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within
any 30-trading day period commencing any time 90 days after completion of the Business Combination and with respect to the
remaining 50% of the Founder Shares, only if the closing price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted
for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day
period commencing any time 90 days after completion of the Business Combination (the “Founder Shares Lock-up Period”).
In addition, all of the Founder Shares will be released on the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital
stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the
right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property.


 






    	 	3	 



     


    

 


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


 


(c) Notwithstanding
the provisions set forth in paragraphs 3 and 7(a) and (b), Transfers of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and shares
of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Private Placement Warrants or the Founder Shares and
that are held by the Sponsor, any Insider or any of their permitted transferees (that have complied with this paragraph 7(c)),
are permitted (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, transfers
by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate family, 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, transfers
by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (d) in the case of an individual, transfers pursuant
to a qualified domestic relations order; (e) transfers by private sales or transfers made in connection with the consummation
of a Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the securities were originally purchased; (f) transfers
in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to the completion of an initial Business Combination; (g) transfers by virtue
of the laws of the State of Delaware or the Sponsor’s limited liability company agreement upon dissolution of the Sponsor;
(h) in the event of the Company’s completion of a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction
which results in all of the Company’s public stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A common stock
for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the completion of the initial business combination; (i) to a nominee or custodian
of a person or entity to whom a disposition or transfer would be permissible under clauses (a) through (h) above; provided, however,
that in the case of clauses (a) through (e) and (i), 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 represent and warrant that it, he or she has never been suspended or expelled from membership in any
securities or commodities exchange or association or had a securities or commodities license or registration denied, suspended
or revoked. Each Insider’s biographical information furnished to the Company (including any such information included in
the Prospectus) is true and accurate in all respects and does not omit any material information with respect to the Insider’s
background. The Sponsor and each Insider’s questionnaire furnished to the Company is true and accurate in all respects.
The Sponsor and each Insider represents and warrants that: it, he or she is not subject to or a respondent in any legal action
for, any injunction, cease-and-desist order or order or stipulation to desist or refrain from any act or practice relating to
the offering of securities in any jurisdiction; it, he or she has never been convicted of, or pleaded guilty to, any crime (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, 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 of up to $350,000 made to the Company by the Sponsor to cover expenses
related to the organization of the Company and the Public Offering; reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
related to identifying, investigating and consummating an initial Business Combination, and repayment of loans, if any, and on
such terms as to be determined by the Company from time to time, made by the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers
and 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 of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per
warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise
price, exercisability and exercise period.
