Re: Initial Public Offering


 


Ladies and Gentlemen:


 


This letter (this “Letter
Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”)
to be entered into by and among Bannix Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and
I-Bankers Securities, Inc. (“I-Bankers”) as representative of the several underwriters (each, an “Underwriter”
and collectively, the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “Public
Offering”), of up to 5,750,000 of the Company’s units (including up to 750,000 units that may be purchased
to cover over-allotments, if any) (the “Units”), each comprised of one share of the Company’s common
stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), one right (the “Rights”) and
one redeemable warrant. Each Right entitles the holder to receive one-tenth of one share of Common Stock upon consummation of the
initial business combination. Each warrant (each, a “Warrant”) entitles the holder thereof to purchase
one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units will be sold in the Public Offering
pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 and prospectus (the “Prospectus”) filed by the Company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and the Units have been approved to be listed on The
Nasdaq Capital Market. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 11 hereof.


 


In order to induce the
Company and the Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the Public Offering and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subash Menon and Sudeesh Yezhuvath (through
their investment entity Bannix Management LLP), Suresh Yezhuvath and Seema Rao (collectively,the “Sponsor”)
and each of the undersigned individuals, each of whom is a member of the Company’s board of directors and/or management team
and ____________(the “Anchor Investors”), solely in their capacity as a stockholder of the Company, (each,
an “Insider” and collectively, the “Insiders”), hereby agrees with the Company as follows:


 


The Sponsor and each Insider
agrees that if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, then in connection with such proposed
Business Combination, it, he or she shall (i) vote any shares of Capital Stock owned by it, him or her in favor of any proposed
Business Combination and (ii) not redeem any shares of Common Stock owned by it, him or her in connection with such stockholder
approval. If the Company engages in a tender offer in connection with any proposed Business Combination, each Insider agrees that
it, he or she will not seek to sell its, his or her shares of Common Stock to the Company in connection with such tender offer.


 


1.                  
The Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees that in the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination
within 15 months from the closing of the Public Offering (or up to 21 months if the Company extended such period in accordance
with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”)) or such later
period approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the Company’s Charter, the Sponsor and each Insider
shall take all reasonable steps to cause the Company to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as
promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem
100% of the Common Stock sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering (the “Offering Shares”), at
a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned
on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (which interest shall be net
of taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Offering
Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish all Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders of the Company (including
the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably
possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s
board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide
for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. The Sponsor and each Insider agree not to propose any amendment
to the Company’s Charter that would modify (i) the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of
the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of the Public Offering
(or up to 21 months if the Company extended such period in accordance with the Company’s Charter) or (ii) the other provisions
relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activities, unless the Company provides its Public Stockholders
with the opportunity to redeem their Offering Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash,
equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of amounts
released for payment of taxes) divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares. The Sponsor and each Insider agree to
waive its redemption rights with respect to shares of Capital Stock owned by it in connection with a stockholder vote to approve
an amendment to the Company’s Charter (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100%
of the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Public
Offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination
activity.


 






    	 



    	 



    

 


2.                  
The Sponsor and each Insider acknowledges that it, he or she has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in
or to any monies held in the Trust Account or any other asset of the Company as a result of any liquidation of the Company with
respect to the Founder Shares held by it, him or her. The Sponsor and each Insider hereby further waives, with respect to any shares
of Common Stock held by it, him or her, if any, any redemption rights it, he or she may have in connection with the consummation
of a Business Combination, including, without limitation, any such rights available in the context of a stockholder vote to approve
such Business Combination or in the context of a tender offer made by the Company to purchase shares of Common Stock (although
the Sponsor, the Insiders and their respective affiliates shall be entitled to redemption and liquidation rights with respect to
any Offering Shares it or they hold if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 15 months from the date of
the closing of the Public Offering (or up to 21 months if the Company extended such period in accordance with the Company’s
Charter)).


 


3.                  
During the period commencing on the effective date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 180 days after such date,
the Sponsor and each Insider shall not, without the prior written consent of the Representative, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract
or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or
indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease 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 Commission promulgated thereunder, with respect to any Units, shares of Capital Stock, Warrants or any securities
convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock owned by it, him or her, (ii) enter into any swap
or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Units,
shares of Capital Stock, Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock
owned by it, him or her, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or
(iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii). Each of the Insiders and the Sponsor
acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the effective date of any release or waiver of the restrictions set forth in this paragraph
3 or paragraph 7 below, the Company shall announce the impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service
at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted shall only be effective
two business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if (i) the
release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer of securities that is not for consideration and (ii) the transferee has
agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Letter Agreement to the extent and for the duration that such
terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.


 


4.                  
In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, the Sponsor (which for purposes of clarification shall not
extend to any other shareholders, members or managers of the Sponsor) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against
any and all loss, liability, claim, 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) to which the Company may become subject as a result of any claim by (i) any third party (other than the Company’s
independent accountants) for services rendered or products sold to the Company or (ii) a prospective target business with which
the Company has entered into a letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement for a Business Combination agreement
(a “Target”); provided, however, that such indemnification of the Company by the Sponsor shall apply only to the extent
necessary to ensure that such claims by a third party for services rendered (other than the Company’s independent public
accountants) or products sold to the Company or a Target do not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.15
per Offering Share or (ii) such lesser amount per Offering Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of
the Trust Account, due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case, net of the amount of interest earned on the
property in the Trust Account which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party (including a Target)
who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s
indemnity of the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
In the event that any such executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against such third party, the Sponsor shall not be responsible
to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Sponsor shall have the right to defend against any such claim with
counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Company if, within 15 days following written receipt of notice of the claim
to the Sponsor, the Sponsor notifies the Company in writing that it shall undertake such defense.

5.                  
To the extent that the Underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 750,000
Units within 30 days from the date of the Prospectus (and as further described in the Prospectus), the Sponsor agrees to forfeit,
at no cost, a number of Founder Shares in the aggregate equal to 187,500 shares. The forfeiture will be adjusted to the extent
that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the Underwriters so that the Initial Stockholders will own an aggregate
of 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock after the Public Offering (excluding the _______
representative shares).


 


6.                  
(a)           Each Insider who is an officer of the Company hereby agrees not to participate in the formation of or to become
an officer of any other special purpose acquisition company with a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act, until
the Company has entered into a definitive agreement with respect to a Business Combination or unless the Company has failed to
complete a Business Combination within 15 months after the closing of the Public Offering (or up to 21 months if the Company extended
such period in accordance with the Company’s Charter).


 


(b)

7(a), 7(b), and 9 of this Letter Agreement (ii) monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for such breach and (iii) the non-breaching
party shall be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy that such party may have in law or in equity, in
the event of such breach.


 


7.

initial Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of the 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 90 days after the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or (y) the date
on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that
results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities
or other property (the “Founder Shares Lock-up Period”).


 


(b)                
The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it, he or she shall not Transfer any Private Placement Warrants (or shares
of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) until 30 days after the completion of a
Business Combination (the “Private Placement Warrants Lock-up Period”, together with the Founder Shares Lock-up Period,
the “Lock-up Periods”).


 


(c)                
Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraphs 7(a) and (b), Transfers of the Founder Shares, Private Placement
Warrants and shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants that are held by the
Sponsor, any Insider or any of their permitted transferees (that have complied with this paragraph 7(c)), are permitted (a) to
the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliates or  
family members of any of the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliates of the Sponsor, any members of the Sponsor,
or any of their affiliates, officers, directors, direct and indirect equityholders; (b) in the case of an individual, 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

8.                  
The Sponsor and each Insider represents and warrants that it, he or she has never been suspended or expelled from
membership in any securities or commodities exchange or association or had a securities or commodities license or registration
