Re: Initial Public Offering 
 Ladies
and Gentlemen: 
 This letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with the
Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) entered into by and between GigCapital3, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Nomura Securities International, Inc. and
Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., as representatives (the “Representatives”) of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the
“IPO”) of 20,000,000 units (the “Initial Units”) of the Company, and up to an additional 3,000,000 units (together with the Initial Units, the “Units”) in the event that the
Underwriters’ 45-day over-allotment option (“Over-Allotment Option”) is exercised in full or in part, each Unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock, par
value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock” and such shares included in the Units, the “Offering Shares”), and three-fourths of one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price
of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (the warrants included in the Units sold, the “Offering Warrants”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined in context are defined in paragraph 13 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, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each of the undersigned Underwriters and GigAcquisitions3, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (“Sponsor”), hereby agrees with the Company as follows: 
 1. With respect to stockholder
votes and associated conversion rights, 
 (a) if the Company solicits stockholder approval of a Business Combination via a proxy
solicitation, then the undersigned will vote all shares of then outstanding Common Stock beneficially owned by him, her or it in favor of such Business Combination; provided, that (i) the undersigned acknowledges and agrees that
prior to entering into a Business Combination with a target business that is affiliated with any Insiders, 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, or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions on the type of target business the Company is seeking to acquire, that such Business Combination is fair to the
Company’s unaffiliated stockholders from a financial point of view, and (ii) no Insider will be entitled to receive or accept a finder’s fee or any other compensation in the event such Insider originates a Business Combination; 

(b) the undersigned hereby agrees not to propose for a stockholder approval any amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation that would (i) affect 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 of the closing of the IPO (or
21 months from the closing of the IPO if the Company has executed a letter of intent for an initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the IPO, or 24 months from the closing of the IPO if the Company has
executed a definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination within 21 months from the closing of the IPO), or (ii) alter its provisions relating to the Company’s pre-Business
Combination activity or the related stockholders’ rights prior to the consummation of such Business Combination, unless, in each case, the Company provides the holders of any Offering Shares with the opportunity to redeem their Offering Shares
upon the approval of any such amendment. Such redemption must be 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 franchise and income taxes payable by the Company), divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares; and 

(c) the undersigned will not redeem any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him, her or it in connection with a solicitation for
stockholder approval described in either of clauses (a) or (b) above, or sell any such shares of Common Stock in a tender offer undertaken by the Company in connection with a Business Combination.

 2. Each of the undersigned hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any
kind the undersigned may have in the future in or to any distribution of the Trust Account and any remaining assets of the Company as a result of, or arising out of, any contracts or agreements with the Company and will not seek recourse against the
Trust Account for any reason whatsoever; provided, that the foregoing waiver shall not apply with respect to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account made in connection with any Offering Shares purchased by the undersigned or its
Affiliates during the IPO or on the open market after the completion of the IPO if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within 18 months of the completion of the IPO 18 months from the completion of the IPO (or
21 months from the completion of the IPO if the Company has executed a letter of intent for an initial Business Combination within 18 months from the completion of the IPO, or 24 months from the completion of the IPO if the Company
has executed a definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination within 21 months from the completion of the IPO). Each of the undersigned acknowledges and agrees that there will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to
any of the Offering Warrants, all rights of which will terminate upon the Company’s liquidation. 
 3. In order to minimize potential
conflicts of interest that may arise from multiple corporate affiliations, 
 (a) Sponsor, an Affiliate of Dr. Katz, the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer, shall present to the Company for its consideration, prior to presentation to any other entity, any target business in the technology, media and telecommunications industry that has a fair market value of at least 80% of the
assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and any taxes payable on interest earned), subject to any pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations Sponsor
might have; and 
 (b) Sponsor hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) each of the Underwriters and the Company may be irreparably
injured in the event of a breach of any of the obligations contained in 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. 

4. None of the undersigned or any of their Affiliates will be entitled to receive, and none of them may accept, any compensation or other cash
payment prior to, or for services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of the Business Combination, except for the following: 

(a) Sponsor and its Affiliates may receive compensation for administrative services and office space, as provided for under that certain
Administrative Services Agreement, dated as of February 14, 2020, between the Company and GigFounders, LLC; 
 (b) Sponsor may receive
amounts due under that certain promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000, dated as of February 24, 2020, issued by the Company in favor of Sponsor; 

(c) Sponsor may receive reimbursement
of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on behalf of the Company, such as identifying and investigating possible
business targets and business combinations, as well as advisory fees to directors pertaining to board committee service and extraordinary administrative and analytical services, and repayment upon consummation of a Business Combination of any loans
which may be made by Sponsor or its Affiliates to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended Business Combination. While the terms of any such loans have not been determined nor have any written agreements been executed with respect
thereto, it is acknowledged and agreed that up to $1,500,000 of any such loans may be convertible into units of the post-business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender; and 

(e) any underwriting discounts, commissions and other fees and compensation payable to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting
Agreement, including, but not limited to, any deferred fees or fee or expense reimbursements set forth therein. 
 5. To the extent that the
Underwriters do not exercise the Over-Allotment Option, in full or in part, within the time period set forth in the Underwriting Agreement, Sponsor agrees that it shall forfeit, at no cost, up to 750,000 Founder Shares. If applicable, Sponsor would
forfeit such number of Founder Shares as would be required to maintain the ownership of the Company’s pre-IPO stockholders at 20.0% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock
immediately after the closing of the IPO; provided, that the “total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock” would not take into account any Insider Shares (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) or shares of Common
Stock included in the Private Units. Sponsor further agrees that to the extent that the size of the IPO is increased or decreased, the Company will purchase or sell shares of Common Stock or effect a stock dividend or share contribution back to
capital, as applicable, immediately prior to the consummation of the IPO in such amounts as to maintain the ownership of the stockholders prior to the IPO at 20.0% of its total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock upon the consummation of
the IPO; provided, that the “total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock” would not take into account any Insider Shares (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) or shares of Common Stock included the Private Units.

 6. Sponsor agrees to continue to serve as the Sponsor of the Company until the earlier of
the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination or its liquidation. 
 7. Sponsor’s FINRA Questionnaire previously furnished
to the Company and the Representatives is true and accurate in all respects. 
 8. Each of the undersigned represents and warrants that
(i) it is not subject to, or a respondent in, any legal action for any injunction, cease-and-desist order, or order or stipulation to desist or refrain
from any act or practice relating to the offering of securities in any jurisdiction; (ii) it has never been convicted of or pleaded guilty to any crime involving any fraud, relating to any financial transaction or handling of funds of another
person, or pertaining to any dealings in any securities, and he, she, or it is not currently a defendant in any such criminal proceeding; and (iii) it 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 denied, suspended or revoked. 
 9. Each of undersigned
agrees that it shall not Transfer any Founder Shares, Private Units or any securities underlying the Private Units beneficially held by it, or by its Affiliates until the date that is (i) in the case of the Founder Shares, the earlier of
(A) twelve months after the completion of a Business Combination or (B) the date on which, subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) the last sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 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 a Business Combination or
(y) the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange 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
and (ii) in the case of the Private Units or any securities underlying the Private Units, until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination (the
“Lock-up Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Lock-up Period, Transfers of Founder
Shares, Private Units or any securities underlying the Private Units beneficially held by the undersigned are permitted to be made (a) amongst Sponsor and its Affiliates, to the Company’s executive officers or directors, or to any
Affiliate or family member of any of the Company’s executive officers or directors, (b) in the case of an entity, as a distribution to its partners, stockholders or members upon its liquidation, (c) in the case of an individual,
(1) by bona fide gift to such person’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of such person’s immediate family, an Affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization, (2) by virtue of the laws
of descent and distribution upon death of such person, (3) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (d) by certain pledges to secure obligations incurred in connection with purchases of the Company’s securities,
(e) through private sales or transfers made in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which such securities were originally purchased, (f) in the case of an Underwriter, to such
Underwriter’s Affiliates or any entity controlled by such Underwriter, or (g) to the Company for no value for cancellation in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination; provided, that, in each such case (except
clause (g)), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by these transfer restrictions and the other 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. 
 10. In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, Sponsor (the
“Indemnitor”) 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 for services rendered or products
sold to the Company, or (ii) a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into an acquisition agreement; provided, however, that such indemnification of the Company by the Indemnitor
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 the lesser of (i) $10.00 per share of the Offering Shares, or (ii) such lesser amount per share of the Offering Shares held in the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets as of
the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, 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 who executed a waiver of any and
all rights to seek access to the Trust Account (whether or not such agreement is enforceable) and as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In
the event that any such executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against such third party, the Indemnitor shall not be responsible for any liability as a result of any such third party claims. The Indemnitor shall have the right to defend
against any such claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Company if, within fifteen (15) days following written receipt of notice of the claim to the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor notifies the Company in writing that it
shall undertake such defense.
