 2.    Lock-Up
Provisions. 
 (a)    Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Section 2(b), the
Stockholder or its Permitted Transferees may Transfer the Lock-up Shares during the Lock-up Period to (i) to Acquiror’s officers or directors, (ii) to any
Affiliates of the Stockholder; (iii) in respect of (i) or (ii), 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

(b)    The Stockholder hereby agrees that it shall not, and shall cause any of its Permitted Transferees not to, Transfer
any Lock-Up Shares during the Lock-Up Period (the “Transfer Restriction”), except in accordance with the following: 

 

	 	(i)	 during the First Lock-Up Period, the Transfer Restriction shall expire
with respect to ten million (10,000,000) Lock-Up Shares (the “First Tranche”), upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the last reported sale price of the Acquiror Common Stock
equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period that commences at least 90 days after the Closing Date or (ii) one year after the Closing Date (for the avoidance of doubt
no Transfer Restrictions shall apply to the First Tranche after the expiration of the First Lock-Up Period); 


  

	 	(ii)	 during the Second Lock-Up Period, the Transfer Restriction shall expire
with respect to an additional twenty million (20,000,000) Lock-Up Shares (the “Second Tranche”), upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the last reported sale price of the

Lock-Up Shares; and 


  

	 	(iv)	 eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, the Transfer Restriction shall expire with respect to any Lock-Up Shares held by or subsequently acquired by the Stockholder that exceeds a total share ownership in post-merger Acquiror of 50.1% on a fully-diluted basis. 



(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the sale price of the Acquiror Common Stock equals or exceeds $20.00
per share for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period that commences at least 90 days after the Closing Date, then the date of commencement as well as the end date, where applicable, of each period set forth
in Sections 2(b)(i), 2(b)(ii), 2(b)(iii) and 2(b)(iv) shall be accelerated by three (3) months; 

(d)    The per share stock prices referenced in this Agreement will be equitably adjusted on account of any changes in the
equity securities of Acquiror by way of stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or business combination, or by any other means. 

  
 2 













 (e)    If any Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions
of this Agreement, such Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, and Acquiror shall refuse to recognize any such transferee of the Lock-Up Shares as one of its equity holders for any purpose. In order to
enforce this Section 1, Acquiror may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Lock-Up Shares (and any permitted transferees and assigns thereof) until the end of the First Lock-Up Period, the Second Lock-Up Period and the Lock-Up Period, as applicable. 

(f)    During the applicable Lock-Up Period, each certificate (if any are issued)
evidencing any Lock-Up Shares shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends: 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A
LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF AUGUST 26, 2021, BY AND AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE “ISSUER”) AND THE ISSUER’S SECURITY HOLDER NAMED THEREIN, AS AMENDED. A COPY OF SUCH LOCK-UP AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.” 

(g)    For the avoidance of any doubt, the Stockholder shall retain all of its rights as a shareholder of Acquiror with
respect to the Lock-Up Shares during the Lock-Up Period, including the right to vote any Lock-Up Shares.

 (i)    Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the
observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of Acquiror and the Stockholder. No failure or delay by a Party in
exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver
of any such term, condition, or provision. 
 (j)    Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement shall
be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby nor shall the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that
any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and
enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. 
 (k)    Specific
Performance. The Stockholder acknowledges that its obligations under this Agreement are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by the Stockholder, money damages will be inadequate and Acquiror will have no
adequate remedy at law, and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the Stockholder in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly,
Acquiror shall be entitled to an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the Stockholder and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to
prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such Party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity. 

(l)    Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the
Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the Parties is expressly canceled; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the
foregoing shall not affect the rights and obligations of the Parties under the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Acquiror or any of the
obligations of the Stockholder under any other agreement between the Stockholder and Acquiror, or any certificate or instrument executed by the Stockholder in favor of Acquiror, and nothing in any other agreement, certificate or instrument shall
limit any of the rights or remedies of Acquiror or any of the obligations of the Stockholder under this Agreement. 

(m)    Further Assurances. From time to time, at another Party’s request and without further consideration
(but at the requesting Party’s reasonable cost and expense), each Party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. 
 (n)    Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by facsimile
signature or by email in portable document format in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
