In connection with the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the "Extension Meeting") of DHC Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the "Company"), to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination (the "Articles Extension") from March 4, 2023 to December 4, 2023, the Company and DHC Sponsor, LLC (the "Sponsor"), have entered into one or more non-redemption agreements (the "Non-Redemption Agreements"), with several unaffiliated third parties, pursuant to which such third parties agreed not to redeem (or to validly rescind any redemption requests on) an aggregate of 400,000 previously-held Class A ordinary shares of the Company ("Non-Redeemed Shares") in connection with the Articles Extension. In exchange for the foregoing commitments not to redeem such previously-held Class A ordinary shares, the Sponsor agreed to transfer an aggregate of 150,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company held by the Sponsor to such third parties immediately following consummation of an initial business combination if such third parties continued to hold such Non-Redeemed Shares through the Extension Meeting. The Non-Redemption Agreements will increase the amount of funds that remain in the Company's trust account following the Extension Meeting. The Company and the Sponsor may enter into additional, similar non-redemption agreements in connection with the Extension Meeting.

The foregoing summary of the Non-Redemption Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Non-Redemption Agreements filed herein as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

## Exhibit 10.1

**Exhibit 10.1** 

**NON-REDEMPTION AGREEMENT AND ASSIGNMENT OF ECONOMIC INTEREST** 

This Non-Redemption Agreement and Assignment of Economic Interest (this "<u>Agreement</u>") is entered as of February [_], 2023 by and among DHC Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company ("<u>DHC</u>"), DHC Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "<u>Sponsor</u>") and the undersigned investors (collectively, the "<u>Investor</u>").

**RECITALS** 

**WHEREAS**, the Sponsor currently holds DHC Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, initially purchased in a private placement prior to DHC's initial public offering (the "<u>Founder Shares</u>");

**WHEREAS**, DHC expects to hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the "<u>Meeting</u>") for the purpose of approving, among other things, an amendment to DHC's Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the "<u>M&A</u>") to extend the date by which DHC must consummate an initial business combination (the "<u>Initial Business Combination</u>") by nine additional months until December 4, 2023 (the "<u>Extension</u>");

**WHEREAS**, the M&A provides that a shareholder of DHC may redeem its Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, initially sold as part of the units in DHC's initial public offering (whether they were purchased in our initial public offering or thereafter in the open market) (the "<u>Public Shares</u>" and together with the Founder Shares, the "<u>Ordinary Shares</u>") in connection with the M&A amendment, on the terms set forth in the M&A ("<u>Redemption Rights</u>");

**WHEREAS**, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Sponsor desires to transfer to Investor, and Investor desires to acquire from the Sponsor, that number of Founder Shares set forth opposite such Investor's name on <u>Exhibit A</u> (the "<u>Assigned Securities</u>"), to be transferred to Investor in connection with DHC's completion of its Initial Business Combination, and, prior to the transfer of the Assigned Securities to Investor, the Sponsor desires to assign the economic benefits of the Assigned Securities to Investor.

**NOW THEREFORE**, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Investor and the Sponsor hereby agree as follows:

1. <u>Terms of Transfer</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, if (a) as of 5:30 PM, New York time, on
the date of the Meeting, Investor holds the Investor Shares (as defined below), (b) Investor does not exercise (or exercised and validly rescinds) its Redemption Rights with respect to such Investor Shares in

------

connection with the Meeting, and (c) the Extension is approved at the Meeting and the Company meets the continued or initial listing requirements to be listed on Nasdaq Capital Market following the Meeting, then the Sponsor hereby agrees to assign to Investor for no additional consideration the Assigned Securities set forth on <u>Exhibit A</u>, and the Sponsor further agrees to assign to Investor the Economic Interest (as defined below) associated with the Assigned Securities that the Sponsor has agreed to assign to Investor. "Investor Shares" shall mean an amount of the Public Shares presently held by Investor equal to the lesser of (i) 400,000 Public Shares, and (ii) 9.9% of the Public Shares that are not to be redeemed, including those Public Shares subject to non-redemption agreements with other DHC shareholders similar to this Agreement on or about the date of the Meeting. The Sponsor and DHC agree to provide Investor with the final number of Investor Shares subject to this Agreement no later than 9:30 a.m. Eastern on the first business day following the date of the Meeting (and in all cases a sufficient amount of time to allow the Investor to reverse any exercise of Redemption Rights with regard to any Investor Shares), *provided*, that such amount shall not exceed 400,000 Public Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.2. The Sponsor and Investor hereby agree that the assignment of the Assigned Securities shall be subject to the
conditions that (i) the Initial Business Combination is consummated; and (ii) Investor (or its Permitted Transferees (as such term is described in that certain Letter Agreement, dated March 4, 2021, by and among DHC, the Sponsor and
DHC's officers and directors (as it exists on the date hereof, the " <u>Letter Agreement</u> ") executes the Joinder (as defined in Section 1.8).

Upon the satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, as applicable, the Sponsor shall promptly transfer (and no later than two (2) business days following the closing of the Initial Business Combination) the Assigned Securities to Investor (or its Permitted Transferees) free and clear of any liens or other encumbrances, other than pursuant to the Letter Agreement, restrictions on transfer imposed by the securities laws, and any successor or similar agreement entered into in connection with the Initial Business Combination (which shall be no less favorable or more restrictive than what is agreed to by the Sponsor). The Sponsor and DHC covenant and agree to facilitate such transfer to Investor (or its Permitted Transferees) in accordance with the foregoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.3. <u>Adjustment to Share Amounts</u>. If at any time the number of outstanding Founder Shares is increased or
decreased by a consolidation, combination, subdivision or reclassification of the Ordinary Shares of DHC or other similar event, then, as of the effective date of such consolidation, combination, subdivision, reclassification or similar event, all
share numbers referenced in this Agreement shall be adjusted in proportion to such increase or decrease in the Ordinary Shares of DHC.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.4. <u>Merger or Reorganization, etc</u>. If there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification, consolidation or merger involving DHC in which its Ordinary Shares are converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation
or merger, in lieu of ordinary shares of DHC, the Sponsor shall transfer, with respect to each Founder Share to be transferred hereunder, upon the Sponsor's receipt thereof, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property into which
such Assigned Securities converted or exchanged.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5. <u>Forfeitures, Transfers, etc.</u> Except as otherwise set forth in Section 5 of the Letter Agreement
effective as of the date of this Agreement, Investor shall not be subject to forfeiture, surrender, claw-back, transfers, disposals, exchanges or earn-outs for any reason on the Assigned Securities. Investor acknowledges that, pursuant to the
Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Sponsor (as it exists on the date hereof, the " <u>Sponsor LLC Agreement</u> "), prior to, or at the time of, the Initial Business Combination, the managers of the Sponsor have
the authority to cause the Sponsor to subject the Founder Shares to earn-outs, forfeitures, transfers or other restrictions, or amend the terms under which the Founder Shares were issued or any restrictions or other provisions relating to the
Founder Shares set forth in the instruments establishing the same (including voting in favor of any such amendment) or enter into any other arrangements with respect to the Founder Shares, and that the managers are authorized to effectuate such
earn-outs, forfeitures, transfers, restrictions, amendments or arrangements, including arrangements relating to the relaxation or early release of restrictions, in such amounts and pursuant to such terms as they determine in their sole and absolute
discretion for any reason. Sponsor acknowledges and agrees that any such earn-outs, forfeitures, transfers, restrictions, amendments or arrangements shall apply only to the Founder Shares other than the Assigned Securities and the terms and
conditions applicable to the Assigned Securities shall not be changed as a result of any such earn-outs, forfeitures, transfers, restrictions, amendments or arrangements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.6. <u>Delivery of Shares; Other Documents.</u> At the time of the transfer of Assigned Securities hereunder, the
Sponsor shall deliver the Assigned Securities to Investor by transfer of book-entry shares effected through DHC's transfer agent. The parties to this Agreement agree to execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments and to do all
such other acts, as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.7. <u>Assignment of Registration Rights</u>. Concurrent with the transfer of Assigned Securities to Investor under
this Agreement, the Sponsor hereby assigns all of its rights, duties and obligations to Investor with respect to the Assigned Securities under that certain Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement, dated March 4, 2021, by and among DHC and
the Sponsor (as it exists on the date of the Agreement, the " <u>Registration Rights Agreement</u> "), and hereby represents and confirms to Investor that, upon Investor's receipt of the Assigned Securities, (i) Investor shall be a
"Holder" under the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) the Assigned Securities shall be "Registrable Securities" under the Registration Rights Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the Sponsor's written notice to DHC
of such assignment in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement (if required). Investor shall execute the Joinder (as defined in Section 1.8), pursuant to which, Investor will be bound by the terms and provisions of the Registration
Rights Agreement as a "Holder" thereunder with respect to the Assigned Securities (upon acquisition thereof) as "Registrable Securities" thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.8. <u>Joinder to Letter Agreement</u>. In connection with the transfer of the Assigned Securities to Investor,
Investor shall execute a joinder to the Letter Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement in substantially the form attached here to as <u>Exhibit B</u> (the " <u>Joinder</u> ") pursuant to which Investor shall agree with DHC to be
bound solely by Section 5 of the Letter Agreement solely with respect to the Assigned Securities and by the terms and provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement as a "holder" thereunder with respect to the Assigned Securities
(upon acquisition thereof) as "Registrable Securities" thereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Joinder to the contrary, Investor shall be released with respect to the Assigned Securities from any transfer or lock-up restrictions under the Letter Agreement or the Registrations Rights Agreement to the same extent any other holder is released from such restrictions with respect to its remaining Founder Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.9. <u>Termination</u>. This Agreement and each of the obligations of the undersigned shall terminate on earlier of
(a) the failure of DHC's shareholders to approve the Extension at the Meeting, (b) the fulfillment of all obligations of parties hereto, (c) the liquidation or dissolution of DHC, (d) the mutual written agreement of the
parties hereto; or (e) if Investor exercises its Redemption Rights with respect to any Investor Shares in connection with the Meeting and such Investors Shares are actually redeemed in connection with the Meeting. Notwithstanding any provision
in this Agreement to the contrary, the Sponsor's obligation to transfer the Assigned Securities to Investor shall be conditioned on (i) the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 1.2 and (ii) such Investor Shares not
being redeemed in connection with the Meeting.

2. <u>Assignment of Economic Interest</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 1.1, the Sponsor hereby assigns to Investor all
of its economic right, title and interest in and to that number of Assigned Securities set forth on <u>Exhibit A</u> (the " <u>Economic Interest</u> "), subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 2.2. The Economic Interest represents
the Sponsor's right to receive dividends and other distributions made by DHC pursuant to the Sponsor LLC Agreement allocated to that number of Assigned Securities set forth on <u>Exhibit A</u> represented by the Founder Shares held directly by
the Sponsor.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2. If at any time the number of outstanding Founder Shares is increased or decreased by a consolidation,
combination, split or reclassification or other similar event, then, as of the effective date of such consolidation, combination, split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares underlying the Economic Interest shall be adjusted in
proportion to such increase or decrease in outstanding Founder Shares. The foregoing shall not apply to a reclassification of the share capital of DHC, in each case in connection with the closing of the Initial Business Combination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3. Investor acknowledges and agrees that it has no right to vote on matters of the Sponsor as a result of the
Assigned Securities or Economic Interest, or to vote with respect to any Assigned Securities, and it has no right to vote Assigned Securities prior to transfer of any such shares to Investor pursuant to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4. Investor acknowledges and agrees that if it has a right pursuant to its Economic Interest to receive any
dividends or other distributions paid in Ordinary Shares or other non-cash property, the Sponsor shall transfer all of its right, title and interest in such dividends or distributions concurrently with the
transfer of the Assigned Securities to such Investor pursuant to Section 1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5. If the conditions to the transfer of the Founder Shares in Section 1 are not satisfied with respect to any
Founder Shares, then Investor shall automatically assign its Economic Interests in such Founder Shares back to the Sponsor, for no consideration.

3. <u>Representations</u> *<u> </u>* <u>and Warranties of Investor</u>. Investor represents and warrants to,
and agrees with, the Sponsor that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. <u>No Government Recommendation or Approval</u>. Investor understands that no federal or state agency has
passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the offering of the Assigned Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2. <u>Accredited Investor</u>. At the time such Investor was offered the Assigned Securities, it was and, as of
the date hereof, such Investor is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the " <u>Securities Act</u> "), and acknowledges that the sale
contemplated hereby is being made in reliance, among other things, on a private placement exemption to "accredited investors" under the Securities Act and similar exemptions under state law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3. <u>No General Solicitation</u>. Such Investor did not learn of the investment in the Assigned Securities as a
result of any general solicitation or general advertising.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4. <u>Intent</u>. Investor is acquiring the Assigned Securities solely for investment purposes, for such
Investor's own account (and/or for the account or benefit of its members or affiliates, as permitted), and not with a view to the distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act and Investor has no present arrangement to sell Assigned
Securities to or through any person or entity except as may be permitted hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5. <u>Restrictions on Transfer; Trust Account; Redemption Rights</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5.1. Investor acknowledges and agrees that, prior to their transfer hereunder, the Assigned Securities are, and
following any transfer to Investor may continue to be, subject to the transfer restrictions as set forth in section 5 of the Letter Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5.2. Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Assigned Securities are not entitled to, and have no right, interest
or claim of any kind in or to, any monies held in the trust account into which the proceeds of DHC's initial public offering were deposited (the " <u>Trust Account</u> ") or distributed as a result of any liquidation of the Trust
Account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5.3. Investor agrees, solely for the benefit of and, notwithstanding anything else herein, enforceable only by DHC,
to waive any right that it may have to elect to have DHC redeem any Investor Shares and agrees not to redeem or otherwise exercise any right to redeem, the Investor Shares and to reverse and revoke any prior redemption elections made with respect to
the Investor Shares in connection with the Extension. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement is intended to restrict or prohibit Investor's ability to redeem any Public Shares other than the Investor Shares, or to trade or redeem
any Public Shares (other than the Investor Shares) in its discretion and at any time or trade or redeem any Investor Shares in its discretion and at any time after the date of the Meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5.4. Investor acknowledges and understands the Assigned Securities are being offered in a transaction not involving
a public offering in the United States within the meaning of the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act and, if in the future Investor decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer Assigned Securities, such
Assigned Securities may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only (A) pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, (B) pursuant to an exemption from registration under Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act, if available, or (C) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state or any other
jurisdiction. Investor agrees that, if any transfer of the Assigned

------

Securities or any interest therein is proposed to be made, as a condition precedent to any such transfer, Investor may be required to deliver to DHC an opinion of counsel satisfactory to DHC that registration is not required with respect to the Assigned Securities to be transferred. Absent registration or another available exemption from registration, Investor agrees it will not transfer the Assigned Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6. <u>Sophisticated Investor</u>. Investor is sophisticated in financial matters and able to evaluate the risks
and benefits of the investment in the Assigned Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.7. <u>Risk of Loss</u>. Investor is aware that an investment in the Assigned Securities is highly speculative and
subject to substantial risks. Investor is cognizant of and understands the risks related to the acquisition of the Assigned Securities, including those restrictions described or provided for in this Agreement, the Sponsor LLC Agreement and the
Letter Agreement pertaining to transferability. Investor is able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Assigned Securities for an indefinite period of time and able to sustain a complete loss of such investment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.8. <u>Independent Investigation</u>. Investor has relied upon an independent investigation of DHC and has not
relied upon any information or representations made by any third parties or upon any oral or written representations or assurances, express or implied, from the Sponsor or any representatives or agents of the Sponsor, other than as set forth in this
Agreement. Investor is familiar with the business, operations and financial condition of DHC and has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from DHC's management concerning DHC and the terms and conditions of the proposed
sale of the Assigned Securities and has had full access to such other information concerning DHC as Investor has requested. Investor confirms that all documents that it has requested have been made available and that Investor has been supplied with
all of the additional information concerning this investment which Investor has requested.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.9. <u>Disclosure of Information</u>. Investor or its advisor has had an opportunity to receive, review and
understand all information related to the Company requested by it and to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company regarding the Company, its business and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Assigned Securities, and has
conducted and completed its own independent due diligence. Such Investor acknowledges receipt of copies of the SEC Filings that are available on the Edgar System. Based on the information such Investor or its advisor has deemed appropriate, and
without reliance on DHC, Sponsor or its advisor, has independently made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Such Investor or its advisor is relying exclusively on its own sources of information, investment analysis and due
diligence (including professional advice it deems appropriate), including but not limited to all business, legal, regulatory, accounting, credit and tax matters.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.10. <u>Organization and Authority</u>. If any entity, Investor is duly organized and existing under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which it was organized and it possesses all requisite power and authority to acquire the Assigned Securities, enter into this Agreement and perform all the obligations required to be performed by Investor hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.11. <u>Non-U.S. Investor</u>. If Investor is not a United States person (as
defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the " <u>Code</u> ")), Investor hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the
full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Assigned Securities or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the acquisition of the
Assigned Securities, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such acquisition, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be
relevant to the acquisition, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Assigned Securities. Investor's subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Assigned Securities will not violate any applicable securities or
other laws of Investor's jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.12. <u>Authority</u>. This Agreement has been validly authorized, executed and delivered by Investor and is a valid
and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, reorganization, or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally
the enforcement of, creditors' rights and remedies or by equitable principles of general application and except as enforcement of rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by federal and state securities laws or principles of public
policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.13. <u>No Conflicts</u>. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by Investor
of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the Investor's organizational documents of such Investor or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or
both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Investor is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law,
rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to such Investor, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not
reasonably be expected to prevent Investor from fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.14. <u>No Intent to Effect a Change of Control; Ownership</u>. Such Investor has no present intent to effect a
"change of control" of the Company as such term is understood under the rules promulgated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Act, as amended (the " <u>Exchange Act</u> ") , and under the rules of
Nasdaq.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.15. <u>No Advice from Sponsor</u>. Investor has had the opportunity to review this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the form of Letter Agreement with Investor's own legal counsel and investment and tax advisors. Except for any statements or representations of the Sponsor explicitly made in this Agreement, Investor is
relying solely on such counsel and advisors and not on any statements or representations, express or implied, of the Sponsor or any of its representatives or agents for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation for legal, tax or investment
advice, with respect to this investment, the Sponsor, DHC, the Assigned Securities, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the securities laws of any jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.16. <u>Reliance on Representations and Warranties</u>. Investor understands that the Assigned Securities are being
offered and sold to Investor in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements under the Securities Act, and analogous provisions in the laws and regulations of various states, and that the Sponsor is relying upon the truth and accuracy
of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Investor set forth in this Agreement in order to determine the applicability of such provisions.

shall cooperate with one another to assure that such disclosure is accurate. DHC agrees that the name of the investor shall not be included in any public disclosures related to this Agreement unless required by applicable law, regulation or stock
exchange rule. Investor (i) acknowledges that the Sponsor may possess or have access to material non-public information which has not been communicated to the Investor; (ii) hereby waives any and all
claims, whether at law, in equity or otherwise, that he, she, or it may now have or may hereafter acquire, whether presently known or unknown, against the Sponsor or any of DHC's officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, subsidiaries,
successors or assigns relating to any failure to disclose any non-public information in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including any potential business combination involving
DHC, including without limitation, any claims arising under Rule 10-b(5) of the Exchange Act; and (iii) is aware that the Sponsor is relying on the truth of the representations set forth in Section 3

------

more press releases or file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K (collectively, the "<u>Disclosure Document</u>") disclosing, to the extent not previously publicly disclosed, all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and any other material, non-public information that DHC has provided to Investor at any time prior to the filing of the Disclosure Document *provided that* the Sponsor assigns to Investor the Assigned Securities in accordance with this Agreement. Upon the issuance of the Disclosure Document, to DHC's knowledge, Investor shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information received from DHC or any of its officers, directors or employees.

13. <u>Independent Nature of Rights and Obligations</u>. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any party

presumption that Investor and the Sponsor are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters, and the Sponsor acknowledges that Investor and the Sponsor
are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Sponsor shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

14. <u>Most Favored Nation</u>. In the event the Sponsor or DHC enter one or more other non-redemption agreements before or after the execution of this Agreement in connection with the Meeting, the Sponsor and DHC represent that the terms of such other agreements are not materially more favorable to
such other investors thereunder than the terms of this Agreement are in respect of the Investor. In the event that another investor is afforded any such more favorable terms than the Investor, the Sponsor shall promptly inform the Investor of such
more favorable terms in writing, and the Investors shall have the right to elect to have such more favorable terms included herein, in which case the parties hereto shall promptly amend this Agreement to effect the same.

EXHIBIT B

FORM OF JOINDER

TO

LETTER AGREEMENT

AND

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

[______], 2023

Reference is made to that certain Non-Redemption Agreement and Assignment of Economic Interest, dated as of February [<u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u>], 2023 (the "<u>Agreement</u>"), by and among [<u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u>] ("<u>Investor</u>"), DHC Acquisition Corp (the "<u>Company</u>") and DHC Sponsor, LLC (the "<u>Sponsor</u>"), pursuant to which Investor acquired securities of the Company from the Sponsor. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Agreement.

By executing this joinder, Investor hereby agrees, as of the date first set forth above, that Investor (i) shall become a party to that certain Letter Agreement, dated March 4, 2021, by and among the Company, the Sponsor and the Company's officers and directors (as it exists on the date of the Agreement, the "<u>Letter Agreement</u>"), solely with respect to Section 5 of the Letter Agreement, and shall be bound by, and shall be subject to the restrictions set forth under, the terms and provisions of such section of the Letter Agreement as an Insider (as defined therein) solely with respect to its Assigned Securities, provided, however, that the Investor shall be permitted to transfer its Assigned Securities to its affiliates; and (ii) shall become a party to that certain Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement, dated March 4, 2021, by and among the Company and the Sponsor (as it exists on the date of the Agreement, the "<u>Registration Rights Agreement</u>"), and shall be bound by the terms and provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement as a Holder (as defined therein) and entitled to the rights of a Holder under the Registration Rights Agreement and the Assigned Securities (together with any other equity security of the Company issued or issuable with respect to any such Assigned Securities by way of a share dividend or share subdivision or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or reorganization) shall be "Registrable Securities" thereunder.

For the purposes of clarity, it is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained herein, in the Letter Agreement (to the extent applicable to Investor) and the Registration Rights Agreement is between the Company and Investor, solely, and not between and among Investor and the other shareholders of the Company signatory thereto.

------

This joinder may be executed in two or more counterparts, and by facsimile, all of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
