EXECUTION VERSION 

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMEA GUARANTY AND PLEDGE AGREEMENT 

This AMENDED AND RESTATED EMEA GUARANTY AND PLEDGE AGREEMENT (the “EMEA Guaranty”), dated as of May 18,
2022, made by Bird Rides International Holding, Inc. (the “EMEA Guarantor”), is made in favor of MidCap Financial Trust, as Administrative Agent) (the “Administrative Agent”) and the Lenders (the
“Lenders” collectively with the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, the “Beneficiaries”) under the Credit Agreement (as defined below). 

RECITALS 

1.    Bird US Opco, LLC as Borrower (the “Borrower”) and Bird US Holdco, LLC, as Guarantor, the
Beneficiaries have entered into the Loan and Security Agreement dated as of April 27, 2021 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement. 
 2.    Prior to the Beneficiaries
extending credit to the Borrower in respect of the EMEA Loans under the Credit Agreement, the Borrower is required to provide the Beneficiaries with a guarantee duly executed by the EMEA Guarantor, and this EMEA Guaranty is being delivered in
satisfaction of such requirement. 
 3.    The EMEA Guarantor derives substantial direct and indirect benefits from the
extensions of credit contemplated by the Credit Agreement. 
 4.    The EMEA Guarantor previously entered into that
certain EMEA Guaranty and Pledge Agreement dated as of April 8, 2022 in favor of the Beneficiaries under the Credit Agreement (the “Existing EMEA Guaranty”), and desires to amend and restate the Existing EMEA Guaranty. 

GUARANTEE 
 As an
inducement to the Beneficiaries to extend credit to the Borrower in respect of the EMEA Loans and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the EMEA Guarantor agrees as follows: 

1.    Guarantee. The EMEA Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees (as primary obligor and not merely as surety) to each
Beneficiary and its successors and permitted assigns the punctual and complete payment of all amounts due and payable and performance of all other obligations in respect of the EMEA Loans (now or hereafter arising, by acceleration or otherwise) by
the Borrower under the Credit Agreement (the “Guaranteed Obligations”) without regard to any defense of any kind which the EMEA Guarantor may have or assert, and without abatement, suspension, deferment or diminution of any event or
condition whatsoever. 

  
 1 












 2.    Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. The EMEA Guarantor
hereby agrees that its obligations shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by: 

(a)    any failure or delay to enforce the provisions of the Credit Agreement; 

(b)    the perfection, release or extent of any Collateral or EMEA Guarantor Collateral or any failure to realize on any
Collateral or EMEA Guarantor Collateral; 
 (c)    any waiver, modification or consent to departure from, or amendment of
the Credit Agreement; 
 (d)    the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Credit Agreement or the Guaranteed
Obligations; 
 (e)    any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or the EMEA
Guarantor; or 
 (f)    any other circumstances (other than payment in full) which may otherwise constitute a
legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. 
 This EMEA Guaranty constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection. The
Beneficiaries have no duty or responsibility whatsoever to the EMEA Guarantor and make no representation or warranty in respect of the management and maintenance of the Guaranteed Obligations or any collateral therefor. 

3.    Parallel Debt. For the purpose of taking and ensuring the continuing validity and enforceability of the
security created under the EMEA Dutch Pledge, the EMEA Guarantor hereby agrees and covenants with the Administrative Agent that it shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to, and in the currency of, any sums owing by it to a Secured
Party under any Transaction Document (the “Principal Obligations”) as and when the same fall due for payment under the relevant Transaction Document (the “Parallel Debt”). 

The Parallel Debt will become due and payable as and when one or more of the Principal Obligations of the EMEA Guarantor becomes due and
payable. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Transaction Document, the Administrative Agent shall have its own independent
right to demand payment of the Parallel Debt by the Secured Parties and the Administrative Agent acts in its own name and not as a trustee, and its claims in respect of the Parallel Debt shall not be held on trust. The rights of the Secured Parties
to receive payment of the Principal Obligations are several from the rights of the Administrative Agent to receive payment of the Parallel Debt; provided that the payment by the EMEA Guarantor of its Parallel Debt to the Administrative Agent in
accordance with this paragraph and the immediately preceding paragraph shall be a good discharge of the corresponding Principal Obligations and the payment by the EMEA Guarantor of its corresponding Principal Obligations in accordance with the
Transaction Documents shall be a good discharge of the relevant Parallel Debt. In the event of a good discharge of the Principal Obligations, the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties shall not be entitled any more to demand payment of the
corresponding Parallel Debt and such Parallel Debt shall cease to exist. The amount of the Parallel Debt of the EMEA Guarantor shall at all times be equal to the amount of its Principal Obligations. This shall apply accordingly in the event of a
good discharge of the Parallel Debt to the corresponding Principal Obligations. Despite the foregoing, any payment under the Loan Documents shall be made to the Administrative Agent, unless expressly stated otherwise in the Transaction Documents
(save for this paragraph and the immediately preceding paragraph) or unless the Administrative Agent directs such payment to be made to the Administrative Agent.

 4.    Waiver by Guarantor. The EMEA Guarantor agrees that the
Beneficiaries may at any time and from time to time, either before or after the maturity thereof, without notice to or further consent of the EMEA Guarantor, extend the time of payment of, exchange or surrender any collateral for, or renew any of
the Guaranteed Obligations, and may also make any agreement with Borrower for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement between any
of the Beneficiaries and Borrower without in any way impairing or affecting this EMEA Guaranty. The EMEA Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this EMEA Guaranty, diligence, acceleration, presentment, notice of default or demand of payment
to or upon the Borrower or the EMEA Guarantor, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Borrower, any right or requirement to proceed first against the Borrower, any protest or notice with respect to the Credit
Agreement or the obligations created or evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, any exchange, sale or surrender of, or realization on, any other guarantee or any collateral, and any and all other notices and surety defenses (other than payment
in full) whatsoever. The Beneficiaries shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to the Guaranteed Obligations in the event that Borrower becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the
Beneficiaries to so file shall not affect the EMEA Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. 
 5.    Reinstatement in
Certain Instances. The EMEA Guarantor further agrees that if any payment or delivery of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is subsequently rescinded or is subsequently recovered from or repaid by the recipient thereof, in whole or in part, in any
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar proceedings instituted by or against the Borrower, or otherwise, the EMEA Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such Guaranteed Obligation shall be reinstated at such time to the
same extent as though the payment or delivery so recovered or repaid had not been originally made.

 6.    Security Interest. 

(a)    As security for the performance by the EMEA Guarantor of all the terms, covenants and agreements on the part of the
EMEA Guarantor to be performed under this EMEA Guaranty and any other Transaction Document, including all Guaranteed Obligations, the EMEA Guarantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured
Parties, a continuing security interest in, all of the EMEA Guarantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under all of the following, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising (collectively, the “EMEA Guarantor
Collateral”): (i) sixty-five percent (65%) of the Equity Interests of Bird Rides Europe B.V. and (ii) all proceeds of, and all amounts received or receivable under any or all of, the foregoing. The Administrative Agent (for the
benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have, with respect to all the EMEA Guarantor Collateral, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), all the rights and
remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC.
 (b)    The EMEA Guarantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to
perfect the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the EMEA Guarantor Collateral, by filing or authorizing the filing of, at the expense of the EMEA Guarantor, a UCC-1 financing statement naming the
Administrative Agent as secured party and describing the EMEA Guarantor Collateral in a manner that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines is necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted hereunder. 

(c)    At any time or from time to time upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the EMEA Guarantor will, at its
expense, promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines is necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted hereunder. 

(d)    Upon the Borrower’s obligation to repay the EMEA Loans becoming immediately due and payable, the Administrative
Agent and the other Secured Parties shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which they may have under this EMEA Guaranty and the other Transaction Documents, all other rights and remedies provided after default under the UCC and under
other Applicable Law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative. Any proceeds from liquidation of the EMEA Guarantor Collateral shall be applied in the order of priority set forth in Section 4.01 of the Credit Agreement. 

(e)    Immediately upon the satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than unasserted or contingent
indemnification claims) and the occurrence of the outstanding principal amount of the EMEA Loans being permanently reduced to $0, the EMEA Guarantor Collateral shall be automatically released from the lien created hereby, and this EMEA Guaranty and
all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the EMEA Guarantor shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the EMEA Guarantor Collateral
shall revert to the EMEA Guarantor; provided, however, that promptly following written request therefor by the EMEA Guarantor delivered to the Administrative Agent following any such termination, and at the expense of the EMEA Guarantor, the
Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to and authorize the filing by the EMEA Guarantor of UCC-3 termination statements or amendment statements and such other documents as the EMEA Guarantor shall
reasonably request to evidence such termination.

effect on the Borrower’s ability to pay amounts in respect of the EMEA Loan or on the EMEA Guarantor’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder, in each case with revenues earned from the EMEA Scooters (it being agreed and acknowledged
by the Beneficiaries that (i) working capital lines, overdrafts, and cash management obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business and (ii) Permitted Liens, in each case, shall be deemed not to have a material adverse effect on

 9.    Subrogation. The EMEA Guarantor shall be subrogated to all
rights of the Beneficiaries against the Borrower in respect of any amounts paid or deliveries made by the EMEA Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this EMEA Guaranty, provided, however, that the EMEA Guarantor shall not be entitled to
enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation until payment in full of all of the Guaranteed Obligations. 

10.    Expenses of Enforcement. The EMEA Guarantor further agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which are incurred by any of the Beneficiaries in any effort to collect or enforce any provision
of this EMEA Guaranty. 
 11.    Set-Off. Upon the Guaranteed Obligations
becoming due and payable (by acceleration or otherwise) under the Credit Agreement or any other applicable Transaction Document, each Beneficiary is hereby authorized to setoff, appropriate and apply (without presentment, demand, protest or other
notice which are hereby expressly waived) any deposits and any other indebtedness held or owing by such Beneficiary (including by any branches or agencies of such Beneficiary) to, or for the account of, the EMEA Guarantor against amounts owing by
the EMEA Guarantor hereunder (even if contingent or unmatured); provided that such Beneficiary shall notify the EMEA Guarantor promptly following such setoff. 

12.    Counterclaim/Setoff and Taxes. All payments and deliveries hereunder shall be made by the EMEA Guarantor
(a) without set-off, counterclaim or deduction; and (b) without ,deduction for Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the
EMEA Guarantor) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the EMEA Guarantor, then the EMEA Guarantor shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld
to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and if any such withholding or deduction is in respect of any Indemnified Taxes, then the EMEA Guarantor shall pay such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure
that the net amount actually received by the Beneficiaries will equal the full amount the Beneficiaries would have received had no such withholding or deduction of Indemnified Taxes been required (including, without limitation, such withholdings and
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 10). After payment of any Tax by the EMEA Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 10, the EMEA Guarantor shall promptly forward to the Beneficiaries
the original or a certified copy of an official receipt, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Beneficiaries evidencing such payment to such authority.

Guarantor irrevocably: (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City and irrevocably agrees to designate any
Proceedings brought in the courts of the State of New York as “commercial” on the Request for Judicial Intervention seeking assignment to the Commercial Division of the Supreme Court; and (b) waives any objection which it may have at
any time to the laying of venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings that such court
does not have any jurisdiction over the EMEA Guarantor. Nothing in this EMEA Guaranty precludes the Beneficiaries from bringing Proceedings in any other jurisdiction in order to enforce any judgment obtained in any Proceedings referred to in the
preceding sentence. 
 14.    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT. 
 15.    Successor and Assigns. This EMEA Guaranty shall continue in full force and
effect and be binding upon the EMEA Guarantor and the successors and permitted assigns of the EMEA Guarantor, provided, however, that the EMEA Guarantor may not assign or otherwise transfer this EMEA Guaranty or any obligations hereunder

Agreement, assign this EMEA Guaranty or any rights or powers hereunder, with any or all of the underlying liabilities or obligations, the payment of which is guaranteed hereunder. 

16.    Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This EMEA Guaranty supersedes any prior negotiations, discussions,
or communications between the Beneficiaries and the EMEA Guarantor and constitutes the entire agreement between the Beneficiaries and the EMEA Guarantor with respect to the Credit Agreement and this EMEA Guaranty. No provision of this EMEA Guaranty
