	 	Re:	Initial Public Offering


 


Ladies and gentlemen:


 


This letter is being delivered
to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) entered into by and between
Neo Technology Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware company (the “Company”), and Maxim Group LLC, as Representative
(the “Representative”) of the several underwriters named on Schedule A thereto (the “Underwriters”),
relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “IPO”) of the Company’s units (the “Units”),
each comprised of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”),
and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of Common Stock (the “Rights”). Certain capitalized terms
used herein are defined in paragraph 14 hereof.


 


In order to induce the Company
and the Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the IPO, and in recognition of the benefit that such
IPO will confer upon the undersigned as a stockholder of the Company, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees with the Company as follows:


 


1. If the Company solicits
approval of its stockholders of a Business Combination, the undersigned will vote all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him,
her or it, whether acquired before, in or after the IPO, in favor of such Business Combination.


 


2. (a) Unless the Company’s
stockholders are previously given the option to redeem their stocks in connection with amending applicable documents to extend the time
that the Company has to complete a Business Combination and that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 12 months
from the closing of the Company’s IPO (or, in the event that the Company extended the period of time to consummate a business combination
up to three times, each by an additional three months, within 21 months) from the closing of the Company’s IPO, the undersigned
shall take all reasonable steps to (i) cause the Trust Fund to be liquidated and distributed to the holders of the IPO Shares and (ii)
cause the Company to liquidate as soon as reasonably practicable.


 


(b) The undersigned hereby
waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distribution of the Trust Fund and any remaining net assets
of the Company as a result of such liquidation with respect to his, her or its Insider Shares (including any shares of Common Stock underlying
the Private Units) (“Claim”) and hereby waives any Claim the undersigned may have in the future as a result
of, or arising out of, any contracts or agreements with the Company and will not seek recourse against the Trust Fund for any reason whatsoever.
The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that there will be no distribution from the Trust Fund with respect to any Rights underlying the
Private Units, all of which will terminate on the Company’s liquidation.


 






    1


     


    

 


(c) In the event of the liquidation
of the Trust Fund, the undersigned agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any and all loss, liability, claims, damage
and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing
or defending against any litigation, whether pending or threatened, or any claim whatsoever) which the Company may become subject as a
result of any claim by any vendor or other person who is owed money by the Company for services rendered or products sold or contracted
for, but only to the extent necessary to ensure that such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense does not reduce the amount of funds
in the Trust Fund; provided, that such indemnity shall not apply if such vendor or other person has executed an agreement waiving any
claims against the Trust Fund.


 


3. In the event that the Company
does not consummate a Business Combination and must liquidate and its remaining net assets are insufficient to complete such liquidation,
the undersigned agrees to advance such funds necessary to complete such liquidation and agrees not to seek recourse for such expenses.


 


4. The undersigned will escrow
all of his, her or its Insider Shares pursuant to the terms of a Stock Escrow Agreement, which the Company will enter into with the undersigned
and an escrow agent acceptable to the Company.


 


5. The undersigned agrees
that until the Company consummates a Business Combination, the undersigned’s Private Units will be subject to the transfer restrictions
described in the Subscription Agreement relating to the undersigned’s Private Units.


 


6. In order to minimize potential
conflicts of interest which may arise from multiple affiliations, the undersigned agrees to present to the Company for its consideration,
prior to presentation to any other person or entity, any suitable opportunity to acquire a target business, until the earlier of the consummation
by the Company of a Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary and contractual obligations
the undersigned might have.


 


7. The undersigned acknowledges
and agrees that prior to entering into a Business Combination with a target business that is affiliated with any Insiders of the Company
or their affiliates, including any company that is a portfolio company of, or otherwise affiliated with, or has received financial investment
from, an entity with which any Insider or their affiliates is affiliated, such transaction must be approved by a majority of the Company’s
disinterested independent directors and the Company must obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that such Business
Combination is fair to the Company’s unaffiliated stockholders from a financial point of view.


 


8. Neither the undersigned,
any member of the family of the undersigned, nor any affiliate of the undersigned will be entitled to receive and will not accept any
compensation or other cash payment prior to, or for services rendered in connection with, the consummation of the Business Combination;
provided that the Company shall be allowed to repay working capital loans made by the undersigned to the Company in cash upon consummation
of the Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned and any affiliate of the undersigned shall be entitled to
reimbursement from the Company for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with identifying, investigating and consummating
a Business Combination.


 


9. Neither the undersigned,
any member of the family of the undersigned, nor any affiliate of the undersigned will be entitled to receive or accept a finder’s
fee or any other compensation in the event the undersigned, any member of the family of the undersigned or any affiliate of the undersigned
originates a Business Combination.
