This Voting and Support Agreement
(this “Agreement”) is made as of August 9, 2022 by and among (i) Shift Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”),
(ii) CarLotz, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and (iii) the undersigned holders of capital stock and/or
securities convertible or exchangeable into capital stock of Parent (collectively the “Voting Parties” and each, a
 “Voting Party”).


 


WHEREAS, concurrently
with the execution of this Agreement, the Company, Parent and Shift Remarketing Operations, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned
subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as the same may be amended
from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the
 “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving entity following the Merger; and


 


WHEREAS, Parent, the
Company and the Voting Parties desire to enter into this Agreement in order for such Voting Parties (solely in their capacity as stockholders
in Parent and not, if applicable, as a director or fiduciary) to provide certain assurances to Parent and the Company regarding the manner
in which such Voting Parties are bound hereunder to vote their Voting Shares (as defined below) in connection with the Contemplated Transactions.


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:


 


1. Definitions. As
used herein the term “Voting Shares” shall mean all securities of Parent beneficially owned (as such term is defined
in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, but excluding shares of stock underlying unexercised options or warrants) (“Beneficially
Owned” or “Beneficial Ownership”) by each Voting Party, including any and all securities of Parent acquired
and held in such capacity subsequent to the date hereof. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings
assigned to them in the Merger Agreement, as applicable.

Party has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform fully the Voting Party’s obligations hereunder.
This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Voting Party. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation
of the Voting Party enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.


 


b. No Consent. No consent,

the Voting Party or any of its Affiliates is a party relating to the pledge, acquisition, disposition, transfer or voting of the Voting
Shares and there are no voting trusts or voting agreements with respect to the Voting Shares. The Voting Party does not Beneficially Own

5. Agreement to Vote Shares.
The Voting Party (solely in its capacity as a stockholder in Parent and not as a director or fiduciary) agrees during the term of this
Agreement to vote or cause to be voted the Voting Shares at every meeting of the stockholders of Parent at which such matters are considered
and at every adjournment or postponement thereof: (a) in favor of (i) the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock in connection with
the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (ii) if so elected by Parent, an amendment to Parent’s certificate of incorporation
to authorize the board of directors of Parent to effect, following the Closing, a reverse stock split of all outstanding shares of Parent
Common Stock at a reverse stock split ratio as determined by Parent (the “Parent Reverse Stock Split”), and (iii) any
proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting of stockholders of Parent to a later date or dates to solicit additional proxies if there
are insufficient votes, or insufficient shares of Parent Common Stock present, to approve the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock
in connection with the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement, or to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Joint Proxy Statement
is timely provided to Parent’s stockholders; and (b) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably
be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, adversely affect or inhibit the timely consummation of the Merger or the fulfillment
of the Company’s conditions under the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of shares of Parent
(including any amendments to Parent’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws other than in connection with the Merger or the Parent
Reverse Stock Split). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Voting Party shall retain at all times the right to vote such Voting Party’s
Voting Shares in its sole discretion and without any other limitation on those matters other than those set forth in this Section 5 that
are at any time or from time to time presented for consideration to Parent’s stockholders.

6. Transfer of Voting
Shares; No Voting Trust or Other Arrangement. The Voting Party (solely in its capacity as a stockholder in Parent and not, if applicable,
as a director or fiduciary) agrees that, prior to the earlier of (i) the Expiration Time and (ii) the date on which the Required
Parent Stockholder Vote shall have been obtained, the Voting Party will not, and will not permit any entity under the Voting Party’s
direct or indirect control (a “Controlled Affiliate”) to, deposit any Voting Shares in a voting trust, grant any proxies
with respect to the Voting Shares or subject any of the Voting Shares to any arrangement with respect to the voting of the Voting Shares.
The Voting Party agrees that during the term of this Agreement the Voting Party will not, directly or indirectly, transfer (including
by operation of law), 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 Securities and Exchange
Commission promulgated thereunder (“Transfer”), any of the Voting Shares or enter into, or permit any Controlled Affiliate
to enter into, any contract, option or other agreement with respect to, or consent to, a Transfer of, any of the Voting Shares or the
Voting Party’s or any Controlled Affiliate’s voting or economic interest therein. Any attempted Transfer of Voting Shares
or any interest therein in violation of this Section 6 shall be null and void. This Section 6 shall not prohibit a Transfer of Voting
Shares by the Voting Party or any Controlled Affiliate, on the one hand, to another Controlled Affiliate, on the other hand (such a Transfer,
a “Permitted Transfer”). Parent, the Company and the Voting Party acknowledge and agree that any Voting Shares subject
to a Permitted Transfer shall remain subject to the covenants and restrictions contemplated herein during the term of this Agreement.


 


7. Termination. This
Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the earliest to occur (the “Expiration Time”) of: (i) the Closing;
(ii) termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms; (iii) the Outside Date; (iv) any change to the terms
of the Merger Agreement without the prior written consent of each Voting Party that (a) modifies the closing conditions set forth in Section
6 or Section 7 of the Merger Agreement in a manner adverse to the interest of the Voting Parties, (b) modifies the definition of “Outside
Date” under the Merger Agreement in a manner adverse to the interest of the Voting Parties or (c) modifies Section 1 of the
Merger Agreement in a manner adverse to the interests of the Voting Parties; and (v) with respect to any Voting Party, the mutual written
consent of such Voting Party, the Company and Parent to terminate this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, no party shall have
any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement; provided, that nothing in this Section 7 shall relieve any party of
liability for any willful breach of this Agreement occurring prior to the termination of this Agreement.

8. Fiduciary Duties.
Each Voting Party is entering into this Agreement solely in its capacity as the record or Beneficial Owner of the Voting Shares and nothing
herein is intended to or shall limit or affect any actions taken by any such Voting Party or any of its designees serving in his or her
capacity as a director or officer of Parent (or any Subsidairy of Parent). The taking of any actions (or failures to act) by any Voting
Party or Voting Party’s designees serving as a director or officer of Parent (in such capacity as a director) shall not be deemed
to constitute a breach of this Agreement.


 


9. Specific Enforcement.
It is agreed and understood that monetary damages would not adequately compensate an injured party for the breach of this Agreement by
any party hereto and, accordingly, that this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable, and that any breach of this Agreement shall
be the proper subject of a temporary or permanent injunction or restraining order, absent any requirement to post any bond in connection
therewith. Further, each party hereto waives any claim or defense that there is an adequate remedy at law for such breach or threatened
breach and agrees that a party’s rights would be materially and adversely affected if the obligations of the other parties under
this Agreement were not carried out in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.


 


10. Entire Agreement.
This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof
and contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any provision of this Agreement may be
amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to
this Agreement, or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No waiver of any provisions hereof
by either party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provisions hereof by such party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing
waiver of any provision hereof by such party.


 


11. Notices. All notices,
requests, claims, demands, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (a) when delivered
by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier

12. Miscellaneous.


 


a. Governing Law. This
Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or statute) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to
this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising
out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this
Agreement), shall be governed by, and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any laws
of the State of Delaware that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In the event
any party to this Agreement commences any Legal Proceeding in connection with or relating to this Agreement or any matters described or
contemplated herein or therein, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree (i) that any Legal Proceeding shall be brought and determined

of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware); (ii) that
in the event of any such Legal Proceeding, such parties will consent and submit to personal jurisdiction in any such court described in
clause (i) of this Section 12(a) and to service of process upon them in accordance with the rules and statutes governing service of process;
(iii) to waive to the full extent permitted by law any objection that they may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such Legal Proceeding
in any such court or that any such Legal Proceeding was brought in an inconvenient forum; (iv) as an alternative method of service to
service of process in any Legal Proceeding by mailing of copies thereof to such Party at its address set forth in Section 11 for communications
to such party; (v)  that any service made as provided herein shall be effective and binding service in every respect; and (vi) that

b. Waiver of Jury Trial.
Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and
difficult issues, and therefore each such party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right such party may have to a trial
by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. Each party hereto certifies and acknowledges that (i) no Representative of any other party hereto has represented,
expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, (ii) such party
understands and has considered the implications of this waiver, (iii) such party makes this waiver voluntarily, and (iv) such party has
been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 12(b).


 


c. No Ownership Interest.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in the Company any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership
of or with respect to the Voting Shares. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Voting Shares shall remain
vested in and belong to the Voting Parties, and the Company shall not have any authority to manage, direct, restrict, regulate, govern
or administer any of the policies or operations of Parent or exercise any power or authority to direct any Voting Party in the voting
or disposition of any Voting Shares, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.


 


d. No Partnership, Agency
or Joint Venture. This Agreement is intended to create, and creates, a contractual relationship and is not intended to create, and
does not create, any agency, partnership, joint venture, any like relationship between the parties hereto or a presumption that the parties
are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to the obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.


 


e. Severability. The
invalidity of any portion hereof shall not affect the validity, force or effect of the remaining portions hereof. If it is ever held that
any restriction hereunder is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction to its fullest extent, such restriction shall be enforced
to the maximum extent permitted by Law.


 


f. Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts for the convenience of the parties hereto, each of which shall be deemed an original
and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this
Agreement by facsimile or portable document format shall be effective as delivery of a mutually executed counterpart to this Agreement.


 


g. Titles and Headings.
The titles and captions in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way define, limit, extend or describe the
scope of this Agreement or otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.


 


h. Assignment; Successors
and Assigns; No Third Party Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may not, without the prior written consent
of the other parties hereto, be assigned by operation of Applicable Law or otherwise, and any attempted assignment shall be null and void.
Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs,
successors, permitted assigns and legal representatives, and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any
other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
