STOCK
ESCROW AGREEMENT


 


STOCK
ESCROW AGREEMENT, dated as of [XX], 2021 (“Agreement”), by and among NEO TECHNOLOGY ACQUISITION CORPORATION, a Delaware Company
(the “Company”), the initial stockholders listed on Exhibit A attached hereto (each, an “Initial Stockholder”
and collectively the “Initial Stockholders”) and CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY, a New York limited liability
trust company (the “Escrow Agent”).


 


WHEREAS,
the Company has entered into an Underwriting Agreement, dated as of [*], 2021 (“Underwriting Agreement”), with Maxim Group
LLC, acting as the representative of the underwriters (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which, among other
matters, the Underwriters have agreed to purchase 4,000,000 units (“Units”) of the Company, plus an additional 600,000 Units
if the Underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company,
$0.0001 par value (“Common Stock”) and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of Common Stock, all as more fully
described in the Company’s final Prospectus, dated [XX], 2021 (“Prospectus”), comprising part of the Company’s
Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-[XX]) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Registration Statement”),
declared effective on [XX], 2021 (“Effective Date”).


 


WHEREAS,
the Initial Stockholders have agreed as a condition of the sale of the Units to deposit their Insider Shares (as defined in the Prospectus),
as set forth opposite their respective names in Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively “Escrow Stock”), in escrow as hereinafter
provided.


 


WHEREAS,
the Company and the Initial Stockholders desire that the Escrow Agent accept the Escrow Stock, in escrow, to be held and disbursed as
hereinafter provided.


 


IT
IS AGREED:


 


1.
Appointment of Escrow Agent. The Company and the Initial Stockholders hereby appoint the Escrow Agent to act in accordance with and subject
to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to act in accordance with and subject
to such terms.


 


2.
Deposit of Escrow Stock. On or prior to the date hereof, each of the Initial Stockholders delivered to the Escrow Agent certificates
representing such Initial Stockholder’s respective Escrow Stock, together with applicable stock powers, to be held and disbursed
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each of the Initial Stockholders acknowledges that the certificate representing
such Initial Stockholder’s Escrow Stock is legended to reflect the deposit of such Escrow Stock under this Agreement.

3.
Disbursement of the Escrow Stock.


 


3.1 The
Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Stock during the period (the “Escrow Period”) commencing on the date hereof until the
earlier of (a) six months after the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination; or (b) the date on
which the Company consummate a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, or other similar transaction that results in all of its
stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities, or other property or, notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the closing price of 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 our initial business combination, the Escrow Stock will no longer be subject to such transfer restrictions. The
Company shall promptly provide written notice of the consummation of a Business Combination to the Escrow Agent. Upon completion of
the Escrow Period, the Escrow Agent shall disburse such amount of each Initial Stockholder’s Escrow Stock (and any applicable
stock power) to such Initial Stockholder; provided, however, that if the Escrow Agent is notified by the Company pursuant to Section
6.7 hereof that the Company is being liquidated at any time during the Escrow Period, then the Escrow Agent shall promptly destroy
the certificates representing the Escrow Stock; provided further, however, that if, within the six months after the Company
consummates a Business Combination, the Company (or the surviving entity) subsequently consummates a liquidation, merger, stock
exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the stockholders of such entity having the right to exchange their
Common Stock for cash, securities or other property, then the Escrow Agent will, upon receipt of a written notice executed by the
Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer or other authorized officer of the Company, in form reasonably acceptable to the
Escrow Agent, certifying that such transaction is then being consummated or such conditions have been achieved, as applicable,
release the Escrow Stock to the Initial Stockholders. The Escrow Agent shall have no further duties hereunder after the disbursement
or destruction of the Escrow Stock in accordance with this Section 3.




 


3.2
Notwithstanding Section 3.1, if the Underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 600,000 Units
of the Company in full within 45 days of the date of the Prospectus (as described in the Underwriting Agreement), the Initial Stockholders
agree that the Escrow Agent shall return to the Company for cancellation, at no cost, the number of Escrow Stock held by each such holder
determined by multiplying (a) the product of (i) 600,000 multiplied by (ii) a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the number of Escrow
Stock held by each such holder, and (y) the denominator of which is the total number of Escrow Stock, by (b) a fraction, (i) the numerator
of which is 600,000 minus the number of Common Stock purchased by the Underwriters upon the exercise of their over-allotment option,
and (ii) the denominator of which is 600,000. The Company shall promptly provide written notice to the Escrow Agent of the expiration
or termination of the Underwriters’ over-allotment option and the number of Units, if any, purchased by the Underwriters in connection
with their exercise thereof.


 


4.
Rights of Initial Stockholders in Escrow Stock.


 


4.1
Voting Rights as a Stockholder. Subject to the terms of the Insider Letters described in Section 4.4 hereof and except as herein provided,
the Initial Stockholders shall retain all of their rights as stockholders of the Company during the Escrow Period, including, without
limitation, the right to vote such stock.


 


4.2
Dividends and Other Distributions in Respect of the Escrow Stock. During the Escrow Period, all dividends payable in cash with respect
to the Escrow Stock shall be paid to the Initial Stockholders, but all dividends payable in stock or other non-cash property (“Non-Cash
Dividends”) shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent to hold in accordance with the terms hereof. As used herein, the term “Escrow
Stock” shall be deemed to include the Non-Cash Dividends distributed thereon, if any.

4.3

pre-IPO stockholders, or to the Company’s officers, directors, advisors and employees, (ii) if the Initial Stockholder is an entity,
as a distribution to partners, members or stockholders of the Initial Stockholder upon the liquidation and dissolution of the Initial
Stockholder, (iii) by bona fide gift to a member of the Initial Stockholder’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of
which is the Initial Stockholder or a member of the Initial Stockholder’s immediate family for estate planning purposes, (iv) by
virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death of the Initial Stockholder, (v) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations
order, (vi) by private sales made in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at
which the Private Units were originally purchased or (vii) to the Company for cancellation in accordance with Section 3.2 above or in
connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, in each case, except for clause (vii), on the condition that such transfers
may be implemented only upon the respective transferee’s written agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement
and of the Insider Letter (as defined below) signed by the Initial Stockholder transferring the Escrow Stock.

5.
Concerning the Escrow Agent.


 


5.1

therein contained) which is believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons.
The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement

5.2
Indemnification. The Escrow Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any expenses, including reasonable

any claim which in any way, directly or indirectly, arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services of the Escrow Agent hereunder,
or the Escrow Stock held by it hereunder, other than expenses or losses arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Escrow Agent. Promptly after the receipt by the Escrow Agent of notice of any demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit
or proceeding, the Escrow Agent shall notify the other parties hereto in writing. In the event of the receipt of such notice, the Escrow
Agent, in its sole discretion, may commence an action in the nature of interpleader in an appropriate court to determine ownership or
disposition of the Escrow Stock or it may deposit the Escrow Stock with the clerk of any appropriate court or it may retain the Escrow
Stock pending receipt of a final, non-appealable order of a court having jurisdiction over all of the parties hereto directing to whom
and under what circumstances the Escrow Stock are to be disbursed and delivered. The provisions of this Section 5.2 shall survive in
