	1	 Capitalized terms in this recital that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them
in the Underwriting Agreement. 














 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 

1.    Consideration Relating to the Deferred Underwriting Commission. In lieu of the Deferred Underwriting
Commission that is owed to Maxim by OTR: 
  

	 	a.	 Comera Life Sciences Holdings shall, immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination, issue to
Maxim Partners LLC shares of Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Shares”) in an amount equal in value to $3,395,389 (the “Maxim Preferred Underwriting Shares”), based on the
valuation (the “Valuation”) set forth in the Certificate of Designation for the Series A Preferred Shares included on Exhibit A hereto (the “Certificate of Designation”), which Maxim Preferred Underwriting Shares
shall have the rights, terms and conditions; set forth in the Certificate of Designation; and 


  

	 	b.	 The Maxim Preferred Underwriting Shares shall be held at the transfer agent of Comera Life Sciences Holdings,
Inc. in book entry in the name of Maxim Partners LLC as of the closing of the Business Combination. 


 In addition, Maxim hereby waives
the Right of First Refusal set forth in Section 3.32 of the Underwriting Agreement. 
 2.    Consideration
Relating to the Comera Advisory Agreement. In lieu of the Cash Fee that is owed to Maxim by Comera Life Sciences pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3(B) of the Comera Advisory Agreement (and solely with respect to such Cash Fee),:

  

	 	a.	 Comera Life Sciences Holdings shall, immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination, issue to
Maxim Partners LLC Series A Preferred Shares in an amount equal in value to $910,000 (i.e., the $1,000,000 Cash Fee less Retainer payments of $90,000) (the “Maxim Preferred Advisory Shares” and together with the “Maxim Preferred
Underwriting Shares, the “Maxim Partners Preferred Shares”), based on the Valuation, which Maxim Preferred Advisory Shares will have the rights, terms and conditions set forth in the Certificate of Designation; and 



 

	 	b.	 The Maxim Preferred Advisory Shares shall be held at the transfer agent of Comera Life Sciences Holdings in
book entry in the name of Maxim Partners LLC as of the closing of the Business Combination. 


 Notwithstanding anything
else contained in the Comera Advisory Agreement, each of Comera Life Sciences and Maxim hereby agrees that from and after the consummation of the Business Combination, Sections 3(B), 3(C) and 3(D) of the Comera Advisory Agreement shall only be
applicable with respect to a Transaction or Financing involving a counterparty that was introduced by Maxim to Comera Life Sciences prior to the date of this Agreement and set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto (each, a “Maxim
Party”) and, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) no additional Success Fee shall at any time be payable to Maxim by Comera Life Sciences or Comera Life 

  
 2 













 
Sciences Holdings pursuant to the Comera Advisory Agreement in connection with, and (ii) Maxim shall not have any other rights with respect to, any Transaction or Financing consummated at
any time following the closing of the Business Combination with a counterparty that is not a Maxim Party. For the sake of clarity, the contingency payment, milestone payment or deferred consideration Success Fee obligations in Section 3(B) with
respect to the Business Combination or any Transaction or Financing involving a Maxim Party are not affected by the foregoing. 

3.    Maxim Investment. Maxim Partners LLC (or an affiliate thereof) shall invest $1,000,000 via a private
placement in common stock of Comera Life Sciences Holdings (“Private Placement Shares”) at a price per share of $10.25 immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination. In addition, the Private Placement Shares shall be
held at the transfer agent of Comera Life Sciences Holdings in book entry in the name of Maxim Partners LLC (or an affiliate) as of the closing of the Business Combination. In the event that the Business Combination is not consummated within
twenty-four hours of the receipt of the funds, any funds paid by Maxim in consideration of the Private Placement Shares shall be promptly returned to Maxim (to the same account from which it is received) within forty-eight hours of receipt. 

4.    Comera Advisory Agreement Amendment. The eighth, ninth and tenth sentences of Section 3(B) of the Comera
Advisory Agreement2 is hereby replaced with the following: 

The shares of Common Stock that comprise the Success Fee are registered pursuant to the approved Proxy/Registration Statement in connection
with the Closing of the Transaction. One hundred percent (100%) of such Common Stock shall be unrestricted and freely tradeable, and the Company shall immediately take all necessary steps to ensure that its transfer agent effects immediate delivery
of the unrestricted (“clean”) Common Stock to Maxim Partners LLC. 
 5.    Registration Rights. Comera
Life Sciences Holdings shall provide Maxim certain registration rights with respect to the Private Placement Shares and the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Maxim Partners Preferred Shares, as set forth in the registration rights
agreement among Comera Life Sciences Holdings and Maxim, dated the date hereof. 
  

 

	2	 For the sake of clarity, the sentences being replaced state: “The shares of Common Stock that comprise the
Success Fee will be registered in connection with the Closing of the Transaction, or if not so registered, Maxim shall be afforded demand and unlimited piggyback registration rights with respect to the Common Stock. Upon registration, fifty percent
(50%) of such Common Stock shall be unrestricted and freely tradeable, and the Company shall immediately take all necessary steps to ensure that its transfer agent effects immediate delivery of the unrestricted (“clean”) Common Stock to
Maxim Partners LLC. The fifty percent (50%) balance of the Common Stock shall be restricted until the earlier of (i) six (6) months from the Closing of the Transaction and (ii) the date following the Closing on which the Common Stock has a
closing price equal to or greater than $10.00 for five (5) of the preceding ten (10) trading days. Upon the occurrence of either event, the Company shall immediately take all necessary steps to ensure that its transfer agent effects
immediate delivery of the unrestricted (“clean”) Common Stock to Maxim Partners LLC.”

Preferred Stock and any Series A Qualifying Merger Parity Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full preferential amounts to which they are entitled to receive, then the entire Qualifying Merger Consideration shall
be distributed ratably among the holders of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and such Series A Qualifying Merger Parity Stock in proportion to the full preferential amount to which each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive. In
the event of a Qualifying Merger, after payment in full of the amounts to which they are entitled pursuant to this Section 4(b), the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any further right or claim to

Qualifying Sale Consideration thus distributed among the holders of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any Series A Qualifying Sale Parity Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full preferential
