NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the premises set forth above, which are incorporated in this Agreement as if fully set forth below, and intending
to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:


 


1. Lock-Up
Provisions.


 


(a) Holder
hereby agrees not to, without the prior written consent of SPAC (subject to Section 2(h)), during the period (the “Lock-Up
Period”) commencing from the Closing and ending on the earlier of (A) the one (1) year anniversary of the date of the Closing,
(B) the date on which the closing price of the SPAC Common Stock on the stock exchange on which the SPAC Common Stock is listed equals
or exceeds $15.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20
Trading Days within any 30 day Trading Day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing Date, and (C) subsequent to the Closing,
the date on which SPAC consummates a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization, or other similar transaction that results
in all of SPAC’s stockholders having the right to exchange their SPAC Common Stock for cash, securities or other property: (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 Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, with respect to any Restricted
Securities owned by Holder, (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 the Restricted Securities owned by Holder, 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) (any of the foregoing described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Prohibited Transfer”). The foregoing
sentence shall not apply to any of the following actions in respect of any or all of the Restricted Securities owned by Holder (each transferee
of a transfer or other action referred to below, a “Permitted Transferee”):


 


(i) in
the case of an entity, transfers (A) to another entity that is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act)
of the undersigned, (B) as part of a distribution to members, partners or stockholders of the undersigned or (C) to officers or directors,
any current or future affiliate or family member of any of Holder’s officers or directors, or to any member(s), officers, directors
or employees of Holder or any of its current or future affiliates;


 


(ii) in
the case of an individual, transfers by gift to members of the individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which
is a member of one of the individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization;


 


(iii) in
the case of an individual, transfers by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual;


 


(iv) in
the case of an individual, transfers by operation of law or pursuant to a court order, such as a qualified domestic relations order, divorce
decree or separation agreement;


 


(v) in
the case of an individual, transfers to a partnership, limited liability company or other entity of which the undersigned and/or the immediate
family (as defined below) of the undersigned are the legal and beneficial owner of all of the outstanding equity securities or similar
interests;


 


(vi) in
the case of an entity that is a trust, transfers to a trustor or beneficiary of the trust or to the estate of a beneficiary of such trust;


 






    2


    


    

 


(vii) in
the case of an entity, transfers by virtue of the laws of the state or province of the entity’s organization and the entity’s
organizational documents upon dissolution of the entity;


 


(viii) transfers
of Restricted Securities as a bona fide gift, or to a charitable organization or educational institution in a transaction not involving
a disposition for value;


 


(ix) transfers
by Holder of Exchanged Company Options or restricted SPAC Common Stock, in connection with the exercise of an Exchanged Company Option
that is scheduled by its terms in effect as of the date hereof to expire (including expiration in connection with a termination of employment)
during the Lock-Up Period or the lapse of a substantial risk of forfeiture (within the meaning of Section 83 of the Code) in respect of
restricted SPAC Common Stock held by Holder, in each case in accordance with the express terms of the applicable grant agreement (and
without any consent or additional action (other than a termination of employment) by the Company’s Board of Directors triggering
such exercise or vesting), transfers by Holder of a number of shares of SPAC Common Stock or ExchangeCo Shares with a market price up
to the maximum tax amount incurred by Holder as a direct result of the exercise of such Exchanged Company Options or the lapse of the
substantial risk of forfeiture in respect of such restricted SPAC Common Stock, and the payment of the exercise price of any such Exchanged
Company Options through a cashless exercise thereof (for the avoidance of doubt, any SPAC Common Stock received upon exercise of Exchanged
Company Options (or formerly restricted SPAC Common Stock), after giving effect to the transfers permitted by this clause (ix), shall
remain subject to the restrictions of this Lock-Up Agreement during the Lock-Up Period);


 


(x) transfers
to SPAC pursuant to any contractual arrangement in effect at the effective time of the Share Exchanges that provides for the repurchase
by SPAC or forfeiture of SPAC Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for SPAC Common Stock (i)
in connection with the termination of the Holder’s service to SPAC, (ii) in accordance with the Key Individual Share Repurchase
Agreement, (iii) as otherwise contemplated by Section 2.15 of the BCA or (iv) pursuant to any agreement containing a holdback of shares
to satisfy any indemnification obligations; and


 


(xi) the
entry, by the Holder, at any time after the effective time of the Share Exchanges, of any trading plan providing for the sale of SPAC
Common Stock by the Holder, which trading plan meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that
such plan does not provide for, or permit, the sale of any SPAC Common Stock during the Lock-Up Period and no public announcement or filing
is voluntarily made or required regarding such plan during the Lock-Up Period;


 


provided, however, that it
shall be a condition to any transfer pursuant to clauses (i) through (viii) above that the Permitted Transferee of such transfer shall
enter into a written agreement, in substantially the form of this Lock-Up Agreement (it being understood that any references to “immediate
family” in the agreement executed by such transferee shall expressly refer only to the immediate family of the Holder and not to
the immediate family of the transferee), stating that such Permitted Transferee is receiving and holding the Lock-Up Shares subject to
the provisions of this Lock-Up Agreement, and that there shall be no further transfer of such Lock-Up Shares except in accordance with
this Lock-Up Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean a spouse, domestic partner,
child (including by adoption), father, mother, brother or sister, in each case, of the undersigned, and lineal descendant (including by
adoption) of the undersigned or of any of the foregoing persons; and “affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule
405 under the Securities Act. Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by SPAC that are consistent
with the foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.


 






    3


    


    

 


(b) If
any Prohibited Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Prohibited Transfer shall be
null and void ab initio, and SPAC shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Restricted Securities as one of
its equity holders for any purpose. In order to enforce this Section 1, SPAC may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect
to the Restricted Securities of Holder (and Permitted Transferees and assigns thereof) until the end of the Lock-Up Period.


 


(c) During
the Lock-Up Period, each certificate evidencing any Restricted Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially
the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends:


 


“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF DECEMBER 1, 2021, BY AND AMONG THE ISSUER
OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE “ISSUER”), THE ISSUER’S SECURITY HOLDER NAMED THEREIN AND CERTAIN OTHER PARTIES NAMED THEREIN,
AS AMENDED. A COPY OF SUCH LOCK-UP AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”


 


Promptly upon the expiration of the Lock-Up Period,
SPAC will make reasonable best efforts to remove such legend from the certificates evidencing the Restricted Securities.


 


(d) For
the avoidance of any doubt, Holder shall retain all of its rights as a stockholder of SPAC and/or ExchangeCo during the Lock-Up Period,
including the right to vote any Restricted Securities.


 


(e) Holder
hereby acknowledges and agrees that, upon the Closing, each of Holder’s Company Options outstanding immediately prior to the Closing,
whether vested or unvested, shall automatically and without any required action on the part of Holder or any other beneficiary thereof,
be converted into Exchanged Company Options in accordance with Section 2.9(c)(i) of the BCA, as applicable, and without any right or claim
to any further equity or other compensation with respect to such Company Options.


 


(f) Holder
hereby acknowledges and agrees that, upon the Closing, Holder’s Company Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the Closing, shall
automatically and without any required action on the part of Holder or any other beneficiary thereof, be converted into SPAC Class A Common
Stock (and a portion of which will be Seller Escrow Shares) in accordance with Section 2.9(d) of the BCA, as applicable, and without any
right or claim to any further equity or other compensation with respect to the Company Warrant.


 






    4


    


    

 


(g) Without
limiting the terms set forth in clauses (i)-(xi) of Section 1(a) hereof, Holder shall be free to engage in bona-fide purchase or sale
transactions involving SPAC Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for SPAC Common Stock in
compliance with applicable laws and solely to the extent acquired in bona fide open market transactions, provided, that
no such sale transaction is required to be, or is, publicly announced (whether on Form 4, Form 5 or otherwise) during the Lock-Up Period.
Holder acknowledges that U.S. securities laws and other laws prohibit any person who has material, non-public information concerning SPAC
from purchasing or selling any of its securities, and from communicating such information to any person under circumstances in which it
is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities.


 


2. Miscellaneous.


 


(a) Termination
of BCA. This Agreement shall be binding upon Holder upon Holder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, but this Agreement
shall only become effective upon the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the BCA is
terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Closing, this Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall
automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect.


 


(b) Binding
Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. This Agreement and all obligations of Holder are personal to Holder and
may not be transferred or delegated by Holder at any time without the prior written consent of SPAC in accordance with Section 2(h),
except in accordance with the procedures set forth for transfers of Restricted Securities to Permitted Transferees in the second sentence
of Section 1(a). Each of SPAC and the Company may freely assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part,
to any successor entity (whether by merger, consolidation, equity sale, asset sale plan of arrangement/exchange or otherwise) without
obtaining the consent or approval of Holder. For the avoidance of doubt this Section 2(b) does not apply to Sponsor’s rights under
Section 2(h).


 


(c) Third
Parties. Except for the rights of the Sponsor (or its assignee) as provided in Section 2(h), nothing contained in this Agreement or
in any instrument or document executed by any party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall create any rights in,
or be deemed to have been executed for the benefit of, any person or entity that is not a party hereto or thereto or a successor or permitted
assign of such a party.


 


(d) Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Sections 10.7 and 10.14 of the BCA shall apply to this Agreement mutatis mutandis.


 


(e) Interpretation.
The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this
Agreement. In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (i) any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding
masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa; (ii)
“including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting the generality of any description
preceding or succeeding such term and shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (iii)
the words “herein,” “hereto,” and “hereby” and other words of similar import shall be deemed in each
case to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or other subdivision of this Agreement; and (iv) the term
“or” means “and/or”. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.
Consequently, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted
jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship
of any provision of this Agreement.

(g) Amendments
and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended or modified only with the written consent of (i) SPAC, the Company and Holder (if prior
to the Closing) or (ii) SPAC (in accordance with Section 2(h)) and Holder (if from and after the Closing). The observance of any
term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with
the written consent of the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any
one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision.


 


(h) Authorization
on Behalf of SPAC. The parties acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any
consent, waiver or amendment with respect to the restrictions set forth in Section 1 of this Agreement shall require the prior written
consent of CFAC Holdings VI, LLC (the “Sponsor”), and the Sponsor shall be entitled to cause the SPAC to enforce
its rights and remedies under this Agreement; provided, that, subject to approval by the SPAC Board, Sponsor consent shall
not be required for the transfers of Restricted Securities by a holder of less than 0.5% of the Fully-Diluted Company Shares, solely to
the extent that (i) such holder is not a director, officer or employee of SPAC or any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) following any transfer
of Restricted Securities pursuant to such consent, waiver or amendment, the aggregate amount of Restricted Securities remaining subject
to the restrictions set forth in Section 1 of the Lock-Up Agreements entered into as contemplated by the BCA reflects at least ninety-five
percent (95%) of the Fully-Diluted Company Shares. The Sponsor may, without being required to obtain the consent of any party hereto,
assign all of its rights under this Agreement to any Affiliate of the Sponsor to whom the Sponsor’s SPAC Common Stock is transferred
after the Closing in compliance with any applicable contractual or legal requirements.


 


(i) Severability.
In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision
shall be modified or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and enforceable,
and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby
nor shall the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination
that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal
or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent
and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.


 






    7


    


    

 


(j) Specific
Performance. Holder acknowledges that its obligations under this Agreement are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of
a breach of this Agreement by Holder, money damages will be inadequate and SPAC will have no adequate remedy at law, and agrees that irreparable
damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by Holder in accordance with their specific
terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, SPAC shall be entitled to an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this
Agreement by Holder and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security
or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such party may be entitled
under this Agreement, at law or in equity.


 


(k) Entire
Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly
canceled; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties
under the BCA or any Ancillary Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies
of SPAC or any of the obligations of Holder under any other agreement between Holder and SPAC or any certificate or instrument executed
by Holder in favor of SPAC, and nothing in any other agreement, certificate or instrument shall limit any of the rights or remedies of
SPAC or any of the obligations of Holder under this Agreement.


 


(l) Further
Assurances. From time to time, at another party’s request and without further consideration (but at the requesting party’s
reasonable cost and expense), each party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be
reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.


 


(m) Counterparts;
Facsimile.  This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by facsimile signature or by email in portable document format
in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
