 RECITALS

 WHEREAS, Parent, ADEX Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub”), and the Company have
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as the surviving company (the “Merger”), all upon
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement; 
 WHEREAS, each Holder beneficially owns (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), and has sole voting power with respect to the number and type of limited liability company units in the
Company (“Company Units”) Units indicated opposite such Holder’s name on Schedule 1 attached hereto (or, in the case of any Holder who executes a signature page to this Agreement after the date hereof, attached to such
Holder’s signature page) (as used herein, the term “Units” means all the Company Units held by the Holders); 

WHEREAS, this Agreement is a material inducement to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement and the
Ancillary Documents and consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger; and 
 WHEREAS, all capitalized terms used
but not defined in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing recitals, the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Parent
and the Holders agree as follows: 
 Section 1. Agreement to Vote Units. 

(a) Each Holder agrees that, unless the Expiration Date (as defined herein) has occurred, it shall validly execute and deliver to the Company,
on (or effective as of) the second (2nd) Business Day following the date that the Proxy Statement is disseminated to the Company’s members (following the date that the Registration Statement becomes effective), a written consent approving the
Merger Agreement, the Merger, and any other matters necessary for consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement in respect of such Holder’s Company Units. In addition, unless the Expiration Date has
occurred, each Holder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that at any meeting of the holders of Company Units, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, or in connection with any written consent of the holders of Company Units, with respect to
the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, such Holder shall: 
 (i) appear
at any such meeting or otherwise cause its Company Units to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum; and 

  
 1 












 (ii) vote (or cause to be voted) (i) in favor of adoption and approval
of the Merger Agreement, the Merger, and any other matters necessary for consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (ii) against any proposal that conflicts or materially impedes or
interferes therewith or would materially adversely affect or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. 

(b) Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Parent, each Holder hereby irrevocably appoints Parent or any individual designated by
Parent as such Holder’s agent, attorney-in-fact and proxy (with full power of substitution and resubstituting), for and in the name, place and stead of such Holder,
up to the Expiration Date, to attend on behalf of such Holder any meeting of the Company’s members with respect to the matters described in Section 1(a)(ii), to include the Company Units held by such Holder in any
computation for purposes of establishing a quorum at any such meeting of the Company’s members, to vote (or cause to be voted) such Company Units or consent (or withhold consent) with respect to any of the matters described in
Section 1(a)(ii) in connection with any meeting of the Company’s members or any action by written consent by the Company’s members, in each case, only in the event and to the extent that the Holder fails to timely
perform or otherwise comply with the covenants, agreements or obligations set forth in Section 1(a). The proxyholder may not exercise the proxy granted pursuant to this Section 1(b) on any matter
except those provided in Section 1(a), and each Holder may vote its, his or her Company Units on all other matters, subject to the other applicable covenants, agreements and obligations set forth in this Agreement. 

(c) The proxy granted by each Holder pursuant to Section 1(b) (i) will be automatically revoked upon the
Expiration Date, (ii) is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support, subject to clause (i), an irrevocable proxy and is granted in consideration for Parent entering into the Merger Agreement and agreeing to consummate the
transactions contemplated thereby, and (iii) is a durable proxy and shall survive the bankruptcy, dissolution, death, incapacity or other inability to act by such Holder and shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by such Holder with
respect to the Company Units held by such Holder. The vote or consent of the proxyholder in accordance with Section 1(b) and with respect to the matters in Section 1(a)(ii) shall control in the
event of any conflict between such vote or consent by such proxyholder and a vote or consent by each Holder (or any other Person with the power to vote the Company Units held by such Holder) with respect to the matters in
Section 1(a)(ii). 
 (d) Prior to the Expiration Date, no Holder shall enter into any agreement, understanding or
arrangement (whether written or oral) with any Person to vote or give instructions in any manner inconsistent with clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 1. Any such vote shall be cast, or consent shall be given, in
accordance with such procedures relating thereto so as to ensure that it is duly counted for purposes of determining that a quorum is present and for purposes of recording the results of such vote or consent.

 Section 2. Agreement to Retain Units. Each Holder agrees that, prior to the
Expiration Date, he, she or it shall only sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Units (collectively, a “Transfer”) (a) in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities Laws, (b) in compliance with the
Governing Documents of the Company, (c) in compliance with the Merger Agreement and (d) to the extent that, prior to such Transfer, each transferee signs a counterpart to this Agreement pursuant to which such transferee agrees to be bound
by the terms of this Agreement and to be a “Holder” hereunder; provided that, any subsequent transfer of the Units by any such transferee shall also be made pursuant to, and in accordance with, all of the provisions of this
Section 2 to the same extent as if each such transferee were a Holder. Each Holder shall not, directly or indirectly, 

(a) pledge, encumber or create a Lien on any Units or enter into any contract, option, commitment or other arrangement or understanding with
respect to the foregoing; 
 (b) grant any proxies or powers of attorney or enter into a voting agreement or other arrangement with respect
to any of such Holder’s Units; 
 (c) enter into, or deposit any of such Holder’s Units into, a voting trust or take any other
action which would, or would reasonably be expected to, result in a diminution of the voting power represented by any of such Holder’s Units; or 

(d) commit or agree to take any of the foregoing actions. 

As used in this Agreement, the term “Expiration Date” shall mean the earliest to occur of (i) the Effective Time, (ii) such date
and time as the Merger Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Article 8 thereof and (iii) mutual written agreement of the Parties to terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that the provisions of
Section 4 (Remedies), Section 6 (Fees and Expenses), Section 7 (Trust Account Waiver), Section 12 (Entire Agreement),
Section 18 (Miscellaneous) and Section 19 (Parties Advised by Counsel) of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement. 

Section 3. Representations and Warranties of Holders. Each Holder hereby represents and warrants to Parent as follows: 

(a) such Holder has the full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform such Holder’s obligations hereunder;

 (b) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Holder and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivered by the
other Parties, constitutes a valid, legal and binding agreement with respect to such Holder, enforceable against such Holder in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium
or similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity; 
 (c) such Holder beneficially owns the number
of Units indicated opposite such Holder’s name on Schedule 1 hereto, free and clear of any Liens (other than Liens created by this Agreement, applicable securities laws, the Company’s Certificate of Formation and the Company’s Second
Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, and has sole, and otherwise 

  
 3 












 
unrestricted, voting and investment power with respect to such Units; none of the Units are subject to any voting trust or other agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to the voting
of the Units; and no Person has any right to acquire from such Holder any of the Units indicated opposite such Holder’s name on Schedule 1 hereto; 

(d) such Holder agrees to promptly notify Parent in writing of any changes or updates to Schedule 1 hereto as it relates to such Holder after
the date hereof and prior to the Expiration Date; 
 (e) such Holder understands that, at the Effective Time, each outstanding Unit shall be
converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as set forth in the Merger Agreement; 
 (f) the execution and delivery of this
Agreement by such Holder, the consummation by such Holder of the transactions contemplated hereunder and the performance by such Holder of his, her or its obligations hereunder do not and will not conflict with, or result in any material violation
or material breach of, or material default (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) under, any Contract or any judgment to which such Holder is a party or by which such Holder is bound, or any Law to which such Holder is subject or, in the
event that such Holder is a corporation, company, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, association, trust, business trust or other entity, any Governing Document of such Holder; 

(g) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Holder, the consummation by such Holder of the transactions contemplated hereunder
and the performance by such Holder of his, her or its obligations hereunder do not and will not require any consent, approval, qualification, order or authorization of, registration, declaration or filing with, or notice to, any Governmental Entity
by such Holder except for applicable requirements, if any, of the Exchange Act, and except where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals, qualifications, orders or authorizations or registrations, declarations or filings, would not prevent or
impair in any material respect the performance by such Holder of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement; and 
 (h) no investment
banker, broker, finder, consultant or intermediary or other Person is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of such Holder (solely in
its capacity as a Holder) in connection with its entering into this Agreement. 
 Section 4. Remedies. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any Party does not perform its obligations
under this Agreement in accordance with the specific terms hereof or otherwise breaches any provision of this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that each Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other
equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages and this being in addition to any other
remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the
basis that any other Parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

 Section 5. No Waivers. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement extended by
Parent to a Holder shall be construed as a waiver of any rights or remedies of Parent with respect to any other Holder or with respect to any subsequent breach of such Holder or any other such Holder. No waiver of any provisions hereof by either
Party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provisions hereof by any such Party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such Party. 

Section 6. Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Merger Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in
connection with or related to this Agreement and the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not such transactions are consummated. 

Section 7. Trust Account Waiver. Each Holder acknowledges that Parent has established the Trust Account described in Parent’s
final prospectus for its initial public offering, dated January 11, 2021, Parent’s Governing Documents, and the Trust Agreement for the benefit of Parent’s public stockholders and that disbursements from the Trust Account are
available only in the limited circumstances set forth in the Trust Agreement. Each Holder further acknowledges that, if the Transactions, or, in the event of a termination of the Merger Agreement, another Business Combination, are not consummated by
January 14, 2023 or such later date as approved by Parent’s Stockholders to complete a Business Combination, Parent will be obligated to return to its stockholders the amounts being held in the Trust Account. Accordingly, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Holder (on behalf of itself, its Affiliates and, as applicable, its heirs, successors, administrators, members, officers and directors, and all other who may claim through such Holder)
hereby irrevocably waives any past, present or future right, title, interest or claim (whether based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability) of any kind against, and irrevocably waives any right to access, the Trust Account
and the Trustee, or to collect from the Trust Account any monies that may be owed to them by Parent or any of its Affiliates for any reason whatsoever, and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account at any time for any reason whatsoever. For
the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7 shall constitute a waiver by Holder of any rights it may have against Parent or its Affiliates with respect to any assets or funds held outside the Trust Account. 

Section 8. Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and
shall be given (and shall be deemed to have been duly given) by delivery in person, by e-mail (having obtained electronic delivery confirmation thereof), or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid,
return receipt requested) (upon receipt thereof) to the other Parties as follows:
