Re:Sponsor Agreement


 


Ladies and Gentlemen:


 


This letter (this “Sponsor Agreement”)
is being delivered to you in accordance with that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “MIPA”),
by and among Lionheart Acquisition Corporation II, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Lionheart II Holdings,
LLC, a newly-formed Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, each limited liability company set forth
on Schedule 2.1(a) to the MIPA (collectively, the “MSP Purchased Companies”), the members of the MSP Purchased
Companies listed on Schedule 2.1(b) to the MIPA (each, a “Member” and collectively the “Members”),
and John H. Ruiz, as the representative of the Members, and the other transactions relating thereto (the “Transaction”).


 


This Sponsor Agreement hereby amends and restates
in its entirety that certain letter, dated August 13, 2020, from Lionheart Equities, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”),
and the undersigned individuals, each of whom is a member of Parent’s board of directors (the “LCAP Board”)
and/or management team (each, an “Insider” and collectively, the “Insiders”), to Parent
(the “Prior Letter Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective
meanings ascribed to such terms in the MIPA.


 


In order to induce Parent and the Members to enter
into the MIPA and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Sponsor
and each Insider hereby agrees with Parent as follows:


 


1.                  
Support. The Sponsor and each Insider unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that it, he, she or it shall:


 


(a)               
vote (or execute and return an action by written consent) any shares of Parent Common Stock owned by it, him or her (all such common
stock, the “Covered Shares”) in favor of the Parent Proposals (and any actions required in furtherance thereof)
at the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof) or any other duly called special meeting of Parent’s
stockholders (or any adjournment or postponement thereof) called or requested for the purpose of soliciting the Parent Stockholder Approval
in connection with the consummation of the Transaction;


 


(b)               
when the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting is held, appear at such meeting, in person or by proxy, or otherwise cause all of the
Covered Shares to be counted as present thereat for the purpose of establishing a quorum;


 


(c)               
vote (or execute and return an action by written consent), or cause to be voted at any meeting of Parent’s stockholders,
in person or by proxy, or validly execute and return and cause such consent to be granted with respect to, all of such Covered Shares
against (i) any Business Combination Proposal or any proposal in opposition to approval of the MIPA or in competition with or inconsistent
with the MIPA, (ii) any change in the present capitalization of Parent or any amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation, except to
the extent expressly contemplated by the MIPA, (iii) any liquidation, dissolution or other change in Parent’s corporate structure
or business and (iv) any other action that would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect
the Transaction or any of the other transactions contemplated by the MIPA or result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty
or other obligation or agreement of Parent under the MIPA or result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation
or agreement of the Sponsor or the Insiders contained in this Sponsor Agreement;


 






     


     


    

 


(d)               
vote in favor of any other proposals set forth in Parent’s proxy statement to be filed by Parent with the SEC relating to
the Transaction (including any proxy supplements thereto, the “Proxy Statement”);


 


(e)               
vote for any proposal to adjourn or postpone the applicable stockholder meeting to a later date if (and only if) there are not
sufficient votes for approval of the MIPA and any other Parent Proposals or other proposals related thereto as set forth in the Proxy
Statement on the dates on which such meetings are held; and


 


(f)                
not redeem, elect to redeem or tender or submit any Covered Shares owned by it, him or her for redemption in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the MIPA or any vote to amend the Certificate of Incorporation.


 


Prior to any valid termination of the MIPA, the
Sponsor and each Insider shall (x) take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary
under Parent’s organizational documents and applicable Laws, or reasonably requested by Parent, to consummate the Transaction and
the other transactions contemplated by the MIPA on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein and (y) be bound by and comply
with Sections 8.5 (Confidentiality) and 8.8 (Exclusivity) of the MIPA (and any relevant definitions contained in any such Sections) as
if such Person were a signatory to the MIPA with respect to such provisions.


 


The obligations of the Sponsor and the Insiders
specified in this paragraph 1 shall apply irrespective of the Board of Directors’ approval of the Transaction or any action
described above.


 


2.                  
Remedies. The Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (i) Parent and the Members would
be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by the Sponsor or any Insider of its, his or her obligations under this Sponsor Agreement;
(ii) monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for such breach; (iii) the non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek
an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Sponsor Agreement and to enforce specifically
the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy that such party may have in law or in equity; and (iv) the right
to seek specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Sponsor Agreement and without that right, Parent
would not have entered into this Sponsor Agreement.

3.                  
(a)Lock-Up Agreement; Waiver of Adjustment Rights. The Sponsor and each Insider agree that it, he or she shall
not:


 


(i)       transfer
any Parent Unit or Parent Common Stock received in connection with the Transaction until the earlier of (A) six (6) months after
the consummation of the Transaction or (B) subsequent to the consummation of the Transaction, (x) if the closing price of the
Parent 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 consummation of the Transaction
or (y) the date on which Parent completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction
that results in all of the Parent’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Parent Class A Common Stock for cash,
securities or other property (the “Founder Shares Lock-up Period”); or


 


(ii)       transfer
any Parent Private Warrants (or shares of Parent Class A Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of the Parent Private Warrants),
until 30 days after the consummation of the Transaction (such period, together with the Founder Shares Lock-up Period, the “Lock-up
Periods”).


 


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Sponsor Agreement, (i) the New Warrants and the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock underlying such warrants shall not be subject to
any of the restrictions on transfer set forth herein and (ii) following the consumation of the Transaction each Insider shall be permitted
to transfer up to ten percent (10%) of the shares of Parent Common Stock beneficially owned by them as of the Closing Date.


 


(b)               
Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraphs 3(a)(i) and 3(a)(ii), during the period commencing on the date hereof
and ending on the earlier of (x) the expiration of the Lock-Up Periods and (y) the date of any valid termination of the MIPA, transfers
of Parent Units, Parent Common Stock, Parent Private Warrants and shares of Parent Class A Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise
or conversion of the Parent Private Warrants, or the Parent Class B Common Stock and that are held by the Sponsor, any Insider or any
of their permitted transferees (that have complied with this paragraph 3(b)), are permitted (A) to the Parent’s officers or
directors, any affiliates or family members of any of the Parent’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;
or (D) in the case of an individual, transfers pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; provided, however, that in
the case of clauses (A) through (D), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement with Parent agreeing to be bound
by this Sponsor Agreement.


 


(c)               
The Sponsor and each Insider acknowledge and agree as follows:


 


(i)       Section
4.3(b)(i) of the Certificate of Incorporation provides that each share of Parent Class B Common Stock shall automatically convert into
one share of Parent Class A Common Stock (the “Initial Conversion Ratio”) at the time of the Transaction, and
(B) Section 4.3(b)(ii) of the Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Initial Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted (the “Adjustment”)
in the event that additional shares of Parent Class A Common Stock are issued in excess of the amounts offered in the IPO; and


 


(ii)       as
of and conditioned upon the Closing, the Sponsor and each Insider hereby irrevocably relinquishes and waives any and all rights the Sponsor
and each Insider has or will have under Section 4.3(b)(ii) of the Certificate of Incorporation to receive shares of Parent Class A Common
Stock in excess of the number issuable at the Initial Conversion Ratio upon conversion of the existing shares of Parent Class B Common
Stock held by him, her or it, as applicable, in connection with the Closing as a result of any Adjustment.


 






    	 	3	 



     


    

 


(d)               
The Sponsor hereby agrees that, to the extent any Indebtedness or other unpaid or contingent liabilities of Parent, including any
Parent Transaction Expenses and any loans by the Sponsor to Parent (“Parent Expenses”) as of immediately prior
to the Closing (including any such amounts that become payable as a result of the Closing) exceeds $60,000,000 (the “Expense
Cap”), then the Sponsor shall, as of and conditioned upon the Closing, forfeit such number of shares of Parent Class B Common
Stock or Parent Private Warrants (valued at $10.00 per share of Parent Class B Common Stock and $1.00 per Parent Private Warrant) held
by the Sponsor that, in the aggregate, have a value equal to such amount in excess of the Expense Cap (the “Forfeiture”,
and such excess, the “Excess”). If the number of shares of Parent Class B Common Stock or Parent Private Warrants
available for forfeiture pursuant to this paragraph 3(d) shall be insufficient to satisfy the Sponsor’s obligations under this paragraph
3(d), then the Sponsor shall, as of and conditioned upon the Closing, satisfy any such additional obligations in cash. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in lieu of the Forfeiture, the Sponsor may, at Closing, pay the amount of the Excess in cash. In the event that the amount
of any contingent liabilities of Parent as of immediately prior to the Closing are unknown, the Sponsor and MSP Recovery, LLC (“MSP”)
will negotiate in good faith in order to reach agreement on the amount thereof and, in the event that the Sponsor and MSP are unable to
reach agreement prior to the Closing, such disagreement shall not delay the Closing and the Parent Expenses shall be recalculated each
time such contingent liabilities crystallize and if such recalculation results in Parent Expenses exceeding the Expense Cap or an increase
in the amount of such excess, this paragraph 3(d) shall apply to such excess.


 


4.                  
Definitions. As used herein, “transfer” shall mean the (a) sale or assignment of, offer
to sell, contract or agreement to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agreement to dispose
of, directly or indirectly, or establishment or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease of 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 SEC promulgated thereunder with respect to, any security, (b) entry into any
swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security,
whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (c) public announcement of any
intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (a) or (b).


 


5.                  
Power and Authority. The Sponsor and each Insider 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 Sponsor Agreement and, as applicable, to serve as an officer or director of Parent and hereby consents to being named
in the Form S-4 as an officer or director of Parent.


 


6.                  
Entire Agreement; Amendment, Modification, Waiver. This Sponsor Agreement and the other agreements referenced herein
constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior
understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to
the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, with respect to the Sponsor, each Insider
and the Prior Letter Agreement. This Sponsor 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 and the Members’ Representative,
it being acknowledged and agreed that the Members’ Representative’s execution of such an instrument will not be required after

part of this Sponsor Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid
