**Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

**Merger Agreement**

*This section describes certain material provisions of the Merger Agreement (as defined below) but does not purport to describe all of the terms thereof. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1. Shareholders of Live Oak Acquisition Corp. V and other interested parties are urged to read the Merger Agreement in its entirety. Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used below have the meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement.*

***General Terms and Effects; Merger Consideration***

On November 14, 2025, Live Oak Acquisition Corp. V, a Cayman Islands exempted company (together with its successors, including after the Domestication (as defined below), "***Live Oak***" or "***SPAC***") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "***Merger Agreement***") with (i) Catalyst Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Live Oak ("***Merger Sub***"*)*, (ii) Catalyst Sub 2 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Live Oak ("***Merger Sub II***"*)*, (iii) Teamshares Inc., a Delaware corporation ("***Teamshares***" or the "***Company***"), (iv) Live Oak Sponsor V LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "***Sponsor***"), in the capacity, from and after the closing (the "***Closing***") of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (collectively, the "***Business Combination***"), of representative for the stockholders of Live Oak (other than the Teamshares security holders and their respective successors and assigns) (in such capacity, the "***SPAC Representative***") and (v) Brian Gaebe, in the capacity as the representative from and after the Closing of the Earnout Participants (as defined below) and their respective successors and assignees in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement (the "***Seller Representative***").

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) prior to the Closing, Live Oak will continue out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware and domesticate as a Delaware corporation (the "***Domestication***"), (ii) at the Closing, Merger Sub will merge with and into Teamshares (the "***First Merger***") with Teamshares surviving such merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Live Oak (the "***Surviving Corporation***") and (iii) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Merger Sub II (the "***Second Merger***" and together with the First Merger, the "***Mergers***") and as a result of which (a) all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Teamshares as of immediately prior to the First Merger shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, in exchange for the right of each Teamshares stockholder to receive its pro rata share of the Stockholder Merger Consideration (as defined below) and each Earnout Participant (as defined below) to receive their Earnout Shares (as defined below) and (b) the in-the-money Teamshares options shall be assumed (with equitable adjustments to the number and exercise price of such Teamshares options) and replaced with options (the "***Assumed Options***") exercisable into shares of Live Oak common stock, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and in accordance with applicable law.

The Merger Agreement provides that the total consideration received by the Teamshares security holders from Live Oak at the Closing will be a number of shares of Live Oak common stock with an aggregate value equal to the sum of (i) Five Hundred and Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($525,000,000) plus (ii) the Interim Period Financing (as defined below), if any, that has converted into Teamshares common stock, (the "***Merger Consideration***" and such shares, the "***Merger Consideration Shares***"), with each share of Live Oak common stock valued at $10.00 (the total portion of the Merger Consideration amount payable to all Teamshares stockholders in accordance with the Merger Agreement is also referred to as the "***Stockholder Merger Consideration***"). All Teamshares warrants, convertible debt, underwater options and other convertible securities outstanding and not exercised or converted prior to the Closing will be terminated as of the Closing.

As additional consideration, Company securityholders (the "***Earnout Participants***") also have the potential to receive up to 6,000,000 additional shares of Live Oak common stock (the "***Earnout Shares***") contingent upon the shares of Live Oak common stock meeting certain share price targets during the 5-year period following the Closing (the "***Earnout Period***"). The Earnout Shares will be issuable by Live Oak in accordance with the following:

● One-third (1/3) of the Earnout Shares will be released if the VWAP of the shares of Live Oak common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (the "  ***Tier I Share Price Target***") for any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30-trading day period during the Earnout Period;

● One-third (1/3) of the Earnout Shares will be released if the VWAP of the shares of Live Oak common stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share (the "  ***Tier II Share Price Target***") for any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30-trading day period during the Earnout Period; and

● One-third (1/3) of the Earnout Shares will be released if the VWAP of the shares of Live Oak common stock equals or exceeds $20.00 per share (the "  ***Tier III Share Price Target***" and each of the Tier I Share Price Target, the Tier II Share Price Target and the Tier III Share Price Target, a "  ***Share Price Target***") for any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30-trading day period during the Earnout Period.

All of the Earnout Shares will be accelerated and released if, during the Earnout Period, Live Oak is subject to a change of control in which the implied consideration per share of Live Oak common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 (a "***Qualifying Change of Control***" and the achievement of a Qualifying Change of Control or a Share Price Target, a "***Triggering Event***"). In the event that the applicable share price targets are not met during the Earnout Period, the Earnout Participants will not be entitled to receive the applicable portion of the Earnout Shares.

***Representations and Warranties***

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties made by each of Live Oak and Teamshares. Certain of the representations and warranties are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, as well as information provided in the disclosure schedules to the Merger Agreement. As used in the Merger Agreement, "***Material Adverse Effect***" means, with respect to any specified person or entity, any fact, event, occurrence, change or effect that (i) has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect upon the business, assets, liabilities, customer relationships, operations, results of operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of such person or entity and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (ii) does or would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, prevent, materially delay or materially impede the ability of such person or entity or any of its subsidiaries on a timely basis to consummate the Business Combination, subject to customary exceptions with respect to clause (i) above.

***No Survival***

The representations and warranties of the parties contained in the Merger Agreement terminate as of, and do not survive, the Closing, and there are no indemnification rights for another party's breach. The covenants and agreements of the parties contained in the Merger Agreement do not survive the Closing, except those covenants and agreements to be performed after the Closing, which covenants and agreements will survive until fully performed. ****

***Covenants of the Parties***

Each party agreed in the Merger Agreement to use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the Closing. The Merger Agreement also contains certain customary covenants by each of the parties during the period between the signing of the Merger Agreement and the earlier of the Closing or the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms (the "***Interim Period***"), including those relating to: (i) the provision of access to their properties, books and personnel; (ii) the operation of their respective businesses in the ordinary course of business; (iii) the provision of financial statements by Teamshares to Live Oak; (iv) Live Oak's public filings; (v) no insider trading; (vi) notifications of certain breaches, consent requirements or other matters; (vii) efforts to consummate the Closing; (viii) tax matters; (ix) further assurances; (x) public announcements; and (xi) confidentiality.

Each party also agreed during the Interim Period not to solicit or enter into a competing alternative transaction in accordance with customary terms and provisions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement also contains certain customary post-Closing covenants regarding (a) maintenance of books and records; (b) indemnification of directors and officers and the purchase of directors' and officers' tail liability insurance; and (c) use of trust account proceeds.

The parties made customary covenants regarding the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by Live Oak and Teamshares (the "***Registration Statement***") with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "***SEC***") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "***Securities Act***"), to register the shares of Live Oak common stock to be issued as Merger Consideration Shares. The Registration Statement also will contain Live Oak's proxy statement to solicit proxies from Live Oak's shareholders to approve, among other things, (i) the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination, including the Merger and the Domestication; (ii) to the extent required by Nasdaq, the issuance of any shares in connection with the Transaction Financing (as defined below), including the approval of the issuance of more than 20% of the outstanding Live Oak common stock; (iii) the effecting of the Domestication, including adoption of the new organizational documents of Live Oak after the Domestication; (iv) the change of name of Live Oak to "Teamshares, Inc." and the adoption and approval of the new amended and restated organizational documents of Live Oak; (v) the adoption and approval of the Incentive Plan (as defined below); (vi) the appointment of the post-Closing board of directors; and (vii) the approval of the Insider Letter Agreement Amendment (as defined below).

In addition, Teamshares agreed that as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement has become effective, the requisite vote of Teamshares stockholders, by resolutions duly adopted at a meeting of Teamshares' stockholders or by unanimous written consent, shall have authorized, approved and consented to, the execution, delivery and performance of the Merger Agreement and each of the Ancillary Documents to which Teamshares is or is required to be a party or bound, and the consummation of the Business Combination, including the Mergers and the Domestication.

The parties agreed that the post-Closing board of directors will consist of up to nine directors, at least a majority of which will qualify as "independent directors" under the listing rules of Nasdaq. Two directors will be designated by Live Oak prior to the Closing.

Live Oak agreed to use its reasonable best efforts during the Interim Period to enter into financing agreements with potential investors (whether structured as a private placement of common equity, convertible preferred equity, convertible debt or other securities convertible into or that have the right to acquire common equity, as trust account non-redemption or backstop arrangements or otherwise), in each cash on terms mutually agreeable to Teamshares and Live Oak, acting reasonably (an "***Additional PIPE Investment***", together with the Initial PIPE Investment, a "***PIPE Investment***"); provided, that, the foregoing shall not require the Sponsor to forfeit or transfer any direct or indirect interest in its Live Oak securities other than as contemplated by the Sponsor Letter Agreement (as defined below).

Teamshares may, from time to time, enter into subscription, purchase or similar financing agreements for debt investments, preferred equity or other equity-linked securities that are convertible to Teamshares common stock, on terms mutually agreeable to Teamshares and Live Oak, acting reasonably (the "***Interim Period Financing***" and together with the PIPE Investment, the "***Transaction Financing***").

Live Oak and Teamshares agreed to use their commercially reasonable efforts to agree, prior to the Closing, to a form of equity incentive plan that provides for the grant of equity and equity-based incentive awards to eligible service providers of Teamshares and its subsidiaries following the Closing (the "***Incentive Plan***"), which will provide for awards for a number of shares of Live Oak common stock equal to five percent (5%) of the aggregate number of shares of Live Oak common stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing. Within five (5) business days following the expiration of the sixty (60) day period following the date Live Oak has filed current Form 10 information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company, Live Oak shall file an effective registration statement on Form S-8 (or other applicable form) with respect to the shares of Live Oak common stock issuable under the Incentive Plan, and Live Oak shall use reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement(s) (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as awards granted pursuant to the Incentive Plan remain outstanding.

Live Oak agreed not to, and to cause its subsidiaries not to (including, following the Closing, Teamshares and its subsidiaries), take or omit to take any action that is in bad faith, the primary purpose or primary effect of which is to frustrate, delay or prevent the occurrence of any Triggering Event, avoiding, reducing or preventing the achievement or attainment of the Share Price Targets or the vesting or issuance of any Earnout Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the Closing, Live Oak and its subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, Teamshares and its subsidiaries) will be entitled to operate their respective businesses, and take or omit to take actions, based on the business requirements of Live Oak and its subsidiaries.

Teamshares agreed to deliver PCAOB-audited financial statements for its fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024 (the "***GAAP Audited Company Financials***") to Live Oak within thirty (30) days following the date of the Merger Agreement.

***PIPE Subscription Agreement***

 ****

Contemporaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain investors (the "***Initial PIPE Investors***") each entered into a subscription agreement (collectively, the "***PIPE Subscription Agreements***") with Live Oak, pursuant to which, Live Oak agreed to issue, and the Initial PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, 13,695,652 shares of Live Oak common stock (the "***Initial PIPE Shares***"), at a purchase price of $9.20 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $126.0 million, in a private placement (the "***Initial PIPE Investment***"). The consummation of the Initial PIPE Investment is conditioned on the concurrent Closing and other customary closing conditions. Each Initial PIPE Investor agreed in the PIPE Subscription Agreement that it and its affiliates will not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in Live Oak's trust account held for its public shareholders, and agreed not to, and waived any right to, make any claim against the trust account (including any distributions therefrom).

Pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreements, Live Oak has agreed to file a registration statement registering the resale of the Initial PIPE Shares within thirty (30) calendar days after Closing and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing.

Each PIPE Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect upon the earliest to occur of (i) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; (ii) the mutual written agreement of the respective parties to terminate such PIPE Subscription Agreement; or (iii) written notice by either party to the other party to terminate if the transactions contemplated by the PIPE Subscription Agreement are not consummated on or prior to the Outside Date.

 

*The Merger Agreement and other agreements described above have been included to provide investors with information regarding their respective terms. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about Live Oak or Teamshares, or the other parties thereto. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement were made as of a specified date, are modified or qualified by information in one or more confidential disclosure schedules prepared in connection with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to investors, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement are not necessarily characterizations of the actual state of facts about Live Oak, Teamshares or the other parties thereto at the time they were made or otherwise and should only be read in conjunction with the other information that Live Oak makes publicly available in reports, statements and other documents filed with the SEC. Live Oak Teamshares investors and securityholders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any party to the Merger Agreement.*

 

*The foregoing descriptions of agreements and the transactions and documents contemplated thereby are not complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, Voting and Support Agreement, Significant Lock-Up Agreement, the Management Lock-Up Agreement, Non-Competition Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Insider Letter Amendment, the Sponsor Letter Agreement and the PIPE Subscription Agreement, copies of which are filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 2.1, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8, respectively, and the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein.*

In connection with the Business Combination, Live Oak and Teamshares intend to file a Registration Statement with the SEC, which will include a proxy statement to Live Oak shareholders and a prospectus for the registration of Live Oak's securities to be issued in connection with the Business Combination. After the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents will be mailed to the shareholders of Live Oak as of a record date to be established for voting on the Business Combination and will contain important information about the Business Combination and related matters. Shareholders of Live Oak and other interested persons are advised to read, when available, these materials (including any amendments or supplements thereto) and any other relevant documents, because they will contain important information about Live Oak, Teamshares and the Business Combination. Shareholders and other interested persons will also be able to obtain copies of the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, and other relevant materials in connection with the Business Combination, without charge, once available, at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: Live Oak Acquisition Corp. V, 4921 William Arnold Road, Memphis, TN, 38117 United States, Attn: Richard Hendrix, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer. The information contained on, or that may be accessed through, the websites referenced in this Current Report on Form 8-K in each case is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this Current Report on Form 8-K.

BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING DECISION, INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS OF LIVE OAK ARE URGED TO READ THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND ALL OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED OR THAT WILL BE FILED WITH THE SEC IN CONNECTION WITH THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AS THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE BUSINESS COMBINATION.

**Participants in the Solicitation**

Live Oak, Teamshares and their respective directors, executive officers and other members of their management and employees, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies of Live Oak's shareholders in connection with the Business Combination. Investors and security holders may obtain more detailed information regarding the names, affiliations and interests of Live Oak's directors and officers in Live Oak's SEC filings. Information regarding the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies to Live Oak's shareholders in connection with the Business Combination will be set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus for the Business Combination when available. Information concerning the interests of Live Oak's and Teamshares' participants in the solicitation, which may, in some cases, be different than those of their respective equity holders generally, will be set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Business Combination when it becomes available.

**No Offer or Solicitation**

This Current Report on Form 8-K is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom.

**Forward-Looking Statements** 

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws with respect to the parties and the Business Combinations. Live Oak's and/or Teamshares' actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements that are other than statements of historical facts. No representations or warranties, express or implied are given in, or in respect of, this Current Report on Form 8-K. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words "believe," "project," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "strategy," "future," "opportunity," "potential," "plan," "may," "should," "will," "would," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," and similar expressions.

These forward-looking statements and factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement with respect to the Business Combination; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the parties following the announcement of the Business Combination and definitive agreements with respect thereto; (3) the inability to complete the Business Combination, including due to failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of Teamshares and Live Oak or other conditions to Closing; (4) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of the public company's shares on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange following the Business Combination; (5) the ability of Live Oak to remain current with its SEC filings; (6) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (7) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of Live Oak and Teamshares after the Closing to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; (8) costs related to the Business Combination; (9) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (10) the inability of Teamshares to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the Business Combination; (11) the risk that additional financing in connection with the Business Combination, or additional capital needed following the Business Combination to support Teamshares' business or operations, may not be raised on favorable terms or at all; (12) the evolution of the markets in which Teamshares competes; (13) the ability of Teamshares to implement its strategic initiatives and continue to innovate its existing products and services; (14) the level of redemptions of Live Oak's public shareholders; and (15) other risks and uncertainties included in documents filed or to be filed with the SEC by Live Oak and/or Teamshares.

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the "Risk Factors" section of the Registration Statement referenced above when available and other documents filed by Live Oak and Teamshares from time to time with the SEC. These filings will identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. There may be additional risks that neither Live Oak nor Teamshares presently knows, or that Live Oak and/or Teamshares currently believe are immaterial, that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. For these reasons, among others, investors and other interested persons are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K. Past performance by Live Oak's or Teamshares' management teams and their respective affiliates is not a guarantee of future performance. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on the historical record of the performance of Live Oak's or Teamshares' management teams or businesses associated with them as indicative of future performance of an investment or the returns that Live Oak or Teamshares will, or may, generate going forward. Neither Live Oak nor Teamshares undertakes any obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, except as required by applicable law.

SPAC, Merger Sub, Merger Sub II, the SPAC Representative, the Seller Representative and the Company are sometimes referred to herein individually as a "***Party***" and, collectively, as the "***Parties***".

**RECITALS:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. The Company, directly and indirectly through its subsidiaries, engages in the Business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. SPAC owns all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Merger Subs, each of which were formed for the sole purpose of the Mergers (as defined below);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. Prior to the consummation of the Mergers (as defined below), SPAC shall de-register from the Register of Companies in the Cayman Islands and transfer by way of continuation out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware and domesticate as a Delaware corporation pursuant to and in accordance with Section 338 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (as amended, the "***DGCL***") and Part XII of the Companies Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the "***Companies Act***"), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D.

In connection with the Domestication, all of the issued and outstanding SPAC Securities shall remain outstanding and become substantially identical securities of SPAC as a Delaware corporation, except that each outstanding SPAC Unit will automatically detach into its component parts immediately prior to the Domestication.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) At the First Effective Time, SPAC shall amend and restate its Organizational Documents (the "***Amended SPAC Articles***") in a form to be mutually agreed by the SPAC and the Company, which shall, among other matters, amend the Domestication Organizational Documents to (i) provide that the name of SPAC shall be changed to "Teamshares Inc.", (ii) provide that the SPAC has one class of common stock, (iii) remove and revise certain provisions in the Domestication Organizational Documents related to SPAC's status as a blank check company, and (iv) include such other governance provisions as shall be mutually agreed by the SPAC and the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

The holders of In-the-Money Company Options shall receive Assumed Options as described in <u>Section 1.11(c)</u> with such terms and conditions as described in <u>Section 1.11(c)</u>.

Unless otherwise required by Law, all issuances of Earnout Shares to the Earnout Participants other than with respect to their Company Options shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Stockholder Merger Consideration received by the Earnout Participants pursuant to <u>Article I</u> hereof. Subject to receipt of the necessary Transmittal Documents in accordance with <u>Section 1.12(b)</u>, the Earnout Participants' right to receive the Earnout Shares shall vest and become due and issuable as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) if the VWAP of the SPAC Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations, the "***Tier I Share Price Target***") for any twenty (20) Trading Days within any consecutive thirty (30) Trading Day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing Date but prior to the expiration of the Earnout Period, then, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Earnout Participants shall be entitled to receive Two Million (2,000,000) Earnout Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) if the VWAP of the SPAC Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations, the "***Tier II Share Price Target****"*) for any twenty (20) Trading Days within any consecutive thirty (30) Trading Day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing Date but prior to the expiration of the Earnout Period, then, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Earnout Participants shall be entitled to receive Two Million (2,000,000) Earnout Shares; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) if the VWAP of the SPAC Common Stock equals or exceeds $20.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations, the "***Tier III Share Price Target***," and each of the Tier I Share Price Target, the Tier II Share Price Target and the Tier III Share Price Target, a "***Share Price Target***") for any twenty (20) Trading Days within any consecutive thirty (30) Trading Day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing Date but prior to the expiration of the Earnout Period, then, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Earnout Participants shall be entitled to receive Two Million (2,000,000) Earnout Shares.

In the event that any of the Share Price Targets are not satisfied during the applicable period, the Earnout Participants shall not be entitled to receive any of the Earnout Shares with respect to such Share Price Target. For the avoidance of doubt, Earnout Shares shall vest and be issued only in connection with the first achievement of any Share Price Target during the Earnout Period, and the Earnout Participants shall not be entitled to Earnout Shares for any subsequent achievement of the same Share Price Target. The achievement of the Tier II Share Price Target shall be deemed to include the achievement of the Tier I Share Price Target not previously achieved, and, in such case, SPAC shall issue the Earnout Shares attributable to each such Share Price Target together (upon which such lower Tier I Share Price Target shall be deemed achieved and no further Earnout Shares shall become payable upon subsequent achievements of any Share Price Targets previously achieved). The achievement of the Tier III Share Price Target shall be deemed to include the achievement of the Tier I Share Price Target and the Tier II Share Price Target not previously achieved, and, in such case, SPAC shall issue the Earnout Shares attributable to each such Share Price Target together (upon which such lower Tier I Share Price Target and Tier II Share Price Target shall each be deemed achieved and no further Earnout Shares shall become payable upon subsequent achievements of any Share Price Targets so achieved).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that during the Earnout Period (i) SPAC is subject to a Change of Control and (ii) the implied consideration per share of SPAC Common Stock pursuant to which SPAC or its stockholders have the right to receive in such Change of Control equals or exceeds the Tier I Share Price Target (or the equivalent fair market value thereof, as determined by the Post-Closing SPAC Board in good faith, in the event of any non-cash consideration) (a "***Qualifying Change of Control***"), then, subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Earnout Participant shall be entitled to receive their Earnout Pro Rata Share of all Earnout Shares not previously achieved and for which the related Earnout Shares have not previously vested (the achievement of a Qualifying Change of Control or a Share Price Target, a "***Triggering Event***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) With respect to the achievement of the Share Price Targets, SPAC's Chief Financial Officer (the "***CFO***") shall monitor the VWAP of the SPAC Common Stock on each Trading Day during the Earnout Period, and as soon as practicable (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after the end of each monthly anniversary of the Closing during the Earnout Period, the CFO will prepare and deliver to each of the Seller Representative and the SPAC Representative a written statement (each, an "***Earnout Statement***") that sets forth (i) the VWAP of the SPAC Common Stock on each Trading Day for such monthly anniversary period then ended and the preceding monthly period and (ii) whether a Share Price Target has been achieved for any twenty (20) Trading Days within any thirty (30) Trading Day period during such monthly anniversary period. Similarly, as soon as practicable, and in any event within five (5) Business Days after a Triggering Event, the CFO will send an Earnout Statement to each Representative Party indicating that a Triggering Event has occurred, along with the details of such Triggering Event. Each Representative Party will have ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of an Earnout Statement to review it, and each Representative Party and its Representatives on its behalf may make reasonable inquiries to the CFO and related SPAC and Company personnel and advisors regarding questions concerning or disagreements with the Earnout Statement arising in the course of their review thereof, and SPAC and the Company shall provide reasonable cooperation in connection therewith. If either Representative Party has any objections to an Earnout Statement, such Representative Party shall deliver to SPAC (to the attention of the CFO) and the other Representative Party a statement setting forth its objections thereto (in reasonable detail). If such written statement is not delivered by a Representative Party within ten (10) Business Days following the date of delivery of each Earnout Statement, then such Representative Party will have waived its right to contest such Earnout Statement and the calculation of the VWAP of the SPAC Common Stock during the applicable portion of the Earnout Period (and whether a Share Price Target has been achieved) and whether a Triggering Event has occurred as set forth therein. If such written statement is delivered by a Representative Party within such ten (10) Business Day period, then the Representative Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such objections for a period of ten (10) Business Day thereafter. If the Representative Parties do not reach a final resolution during such ten (10) Business Day period, then upon the written request of either Representative Party, the Representative Parties will refer the dispute to the Independent Expert for final resolution of the dispute in accordance with the procedures set forth in this <u>Section 1.10(c)</u>. If a dispute with respect to an Earnout Statement is submitted in accordance with this <u>Section 1.10(c)</u> to the Independent Expert for final resolution, the Parties will follow the procedures set forth in this <u>Section 1.10(c)</u>. Each Representative Party agrees to execute, if requested by the Independent Expert, a reasonable engagement letter with respect to the determination to be made by the Independent Expert. All fees and expenses of the Independent Expert, and all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by a Representative Party in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Independent Expert, will be borne by the SPAC. The Independent Expert will determine only those issues still in dispute with respect to such Earnout Statement as of the Independent Expert Notice Date and the Independent Expert's determination will be based solely upon and consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The determination by the Independent Expert will be based solely on presentations with respect to such disputed items by the Representative Parties to the Independent Expert and not on the Independent Expert's independent review; provided, that such presentations will be deemed to include any work papers, records, accounts or similar materials delivered to the Independent Expert by a Representative Party in connection with such presentations and any materials delivered to the Independent Expert in response to requests by the Independent Expert. Each Representative Party will use their reasonable efforts to make their respective presentations as promptly as practicable following submission to the Independent Expert of the disputed items, and each Representative Party will be entitled, as part of its presentation, to respond to the presentation of the other Representative Party and any questions and requests of the Independent Expert. In deciding any matter, the Independent Expert will be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, including this <u>Section 1.10</u>. It is the intent of the parties hereto that the activities of the Independent Expert in connection herewith are not (and should not be considered to be or treated as) an arbitration proceeding or similar arbitral process and that no formal arbitration rules should be followed (including rules with respect to procedures and discovery). The Representative Parties will request that the Independent Expert's determination be made within forty-five (45) days after its engagement, or as soon thereafter as possible, will be set forth in a written statement delivered to the Representative Parties and will be final, conclusive, non-appealable and binding for all purposes hereunder (other than for fraud or manifest error).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If there is a final determination in accordance with <u>Section 1.10(c)</u> that the applicable Earnout Participants are entitled to receive Earnout Shares for having achieved a Triggering Event, then SPAC will issue and deliver such shares to the Earnout Participants within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, with each Earnout Participant receiving its Earnout Pro Rata Share of such Earnout Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Following the Closing, SPAC and its Subsidiaries, including the Target Companies, will be entitled to operate their respective businesses based upon the business requirements of SPAC and its Subsidiaries. Each of SPAC and its Subsidiaries, including the Target Companies, will be permitted, following the Closing to make changes at its sole discretion to its operations, organization, personnel, accounting practices and other aspects of its business, including actions that may have an impact on the VWAP of the SPAC Common Stock, and the ability of the Earnout Participants to earn the Earnout Shares, and the Earnout Participants will not have any right to claim the loss of all or any portion of any Earnout Shares or other damages as a result of such decisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SPAC shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, including the Target Companies, not to, take or omit to take any action that is in bad faith and has the purpose or intent of avoiding, reducing or preventing the achievement or attainment of the Share Price Targets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The number of Earnout Shares to be issued to any Earnout Participant pursuant to this <u>Section 1.10</u> shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and such Earnout Participants shall receive in lieu of such fractional shares an amount in cash equal to the value of such fractional shares based on the VWAP of the SPAC Common Stock on Nasdaq or the principal securities exchange or securities market on which the SPAC Common Stock is then traded over the twenty (20) day trading-period immediately preceding the date on which the payment of the Earnout Shares is triggered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Without duplication of the provisions contained in the definition of the term "Earnout Shares", if, between the Closing and the date of issuance of any Earnout Shares under this <u>Section 1.10</u>, the outstanding shares of SPAC Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, in either case, by reason of any stock dividend, change to capitalization, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, then any number, value (including dollar value) or amount contained herein which is based upon the number of shares of SPAC Common Stock, will be appropriately adjusted to provide to the Earnout Participants and SPAC the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that this <u>Section 1.10(g)</u> shall not (i) be construed to permit SPAC or the Company to take any action with respect to their respective Equity Securities that is prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or (ii) apply to the Domestication or any other transactions expressly contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Document to the extent consummated in accordance with the terms contemplated by this Agreement and/or such Ancillary Document, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.11 <u>Effect of the Mergers on Company Securities.</u> At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holders of any Company Securities or the holders of any shares of capital stock of SPAC or Merger Sub:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Company Stock*. Subject to <u>Section 1.11(b)</u> below, all shares of Company Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (after giving effect to the Company Preferred Stock Exchange) will automatically be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive the Stockholder Merger Consideration, with each Company Stockholder being entitled to receive its Pro Rata Share of the Stockholder Merger Consideration, without interest, upon delivery of the Transmittal Documents in accordance with <u>Section 1.12</u>. All shares of Company Preferred Stock will be treated on an as-converted to Company Common Stock basis. As of the First Effective Time, each Company Stockholder shall cease to have any other rights in and to the Company or the Surviving Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Treasury Stock*. Notwithstanding <u>Section 1.11(a)</u> above or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, at the First Effective Time, if there are any Company Securities that are owned by the Company as treasury shares or any Company Securities owned by any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the First Effective Time, such Company Securities shall be canceled and shall cease to exist without any conversion thereof or payment therefor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Company Options*. Each outstanding In-the-Money Company Option (whether vested or unvested) that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be assumed by SPAC and automatically converted into an option to purchase shares of SPAC Common Stock (each, an "***Assumed Option***"). Subject to the subsequent sentence, each Assumed Option will be subject to the same terms and conditions as applied to the Company Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time (but taking into account any changes thereto provided for in the applicable Company Equity Plan, in any award agreement or in such Company Option by reason of this Agreement or the Mergers). As of the First Effective Time, each Assumed Option shall (i) have the right to acquire a number of shares of SPAC Common Stock equal to (as rounded down to the nearest whole number) the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Conversion Ratio; (ii) have an exercise price equal to (as rounded up to the nearest whole cent) the quotient of (A) the exercise price of the Company Option, divided by (B) the Conversion Ratio; and (iii) be subject to the same vesting and exercise schedule (including accelerated vesting and exercise) as the applicable Company Option; provided, however, that the conversion of the Company Options will be made in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1, such that such conversion will not constitute a "modification" of such Company Options for purposes of Section 409A or Section 424 of the Code. In addition, each holder of an Assumed Option who is employed by, or in service with the Company or its Subsidiaries as of immediately following the First Effective Time (each, an "***Eligible Optionholder***"), shall also be eligible to receive its Earnout Pro Rata Share of any Earn Out Shares with respect to, and upon the occurrence of, such Triggering Event in accordance with <u>Section 1</u><u>.10</u>. SPAC shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for future issuance, and shall maintain such reservation for so long as any of the Assumed Options remain outstanding, a sufficient number of shares of SPAC Common Stock for delivery upon the exercise of such Assumed Option. From and after the Closing, the Company and the SPAC shall not issue any new awards under the Company Equity Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Company Convertible Securities*. Any Company Convertible Security (other than In-the-Money Company Options but including any Company Options that are not In-the-Money Company Options), if not exercised or converted at or prior to the First Effective Time into shares of Company Common Stock, shall be cancelled, retired and terminated, and thereby cease to represent any right to acquire, be exchanged for or convert into, shares of Company Stock or any other security or otherwise receive payment of cash or other consideration therefor, whether upon any contingency or valuation or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holders of any securities of SPAC or the Surviving Corporation: (a) each share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist without any conversion thereof or payment therefor; and (b) the limited liability company interests of Merger Sub II outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be converted into and become the limited liability company interests of the Surviving Entity, which shall constitute 100% of the outstanding equity of the Surviving Entity, all of which shall be owned by SPAC, which shall continue as the sole member of the Surviving Entity, and the Surviving Entity shall be classified as an entity disregarded as separate from SPAC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. From and after the Second Effective Time, the limited liability company interests of Merger Sub II as of immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of limited liability company interests of the Surviving Entity into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.12 <u>Surrender of Company Securities and Disbursement of Merger Consideration</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Prior to the First Effective Time, SPAC shall appoint its transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company or another agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the "***Exchange Agent***"), for the purpose of exchanging the certificates representing Company Stock ("***Company Certificates***") if any, and each share of capital stock held in book-entry form on the stock transfer books of the Company immediately prior to the First Effective Time. At or prior to the First Effective Time, SPAC shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent the Stockholder Merger Consideration. At or prior to the First Effective Time, SPAC shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each Company Stockholder, a letter of transmittal in form and substance to be mutually agreed by SPAC and the Company, acting in good faith (each, a "***Letter of Transmittal***") (which shall specify that the delivery of Company Certificates or uncertificated shares in respect of the Stockholder Merger Consideration shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Company Certificates or uncertificated shares to the Exchange Agent (or a Lost Certificate Affidavit)) for use in such exchange. The Letter of Transmittal will contain, among other things, customary representations, including due authority, valid ownership, title and interest, absence of encumbrances (other than Permitted Liens set forth on <u>Schedule 4.17</u>) and a release with respect to any Liability arising out of, or in any way related (directly or indirectly) with such Company Stockholder being a holder of Company Securities or otherwise relating to such Company Stockholder's acquisition, ownership, control or sale of Company Securities and the absence of Liens thereon; provided, that such release shall not relieve any Party from Liability for any Willful Breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under this Agreement or any Fraud Claim against such Party and shall preserve any rights, remedies or obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Company Stockholder shall be entitled to receive its Pro Rata Share of the Stockholder Merger Consideration in respect of the Company Stock represented by the Company Certificate(s) (excluding any Company Securities described in <u>Sections 1.11(b)</u>), as soon as reasonably practicable after the First Effective Time, but subject to the delivery to the Exchange Agent of the following items prior thereto (collectively, the "***Transmittal Documents***"): (i) the Company Certificate(s) for its Company Stock (or a Lost Certificate Affidavit), together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal and (ii) such other documents as may be reasonably requested by the Exchange Agent or SPAC. Until so surrendered, each Company Certificate shall represent after the First Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such portion of the Stockholder Merger Consideration attributable to such Company Certificate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If any portion of the Stockholder Merger Consideration is to be delivered or issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Company Certificate is registered immediately prior to the First Effective Time, it shall be a condition to such delivery that (i) the transfer of such Company Stock shall have been permitted in accordance with the terms of the Company's Organizational Documents and any stockholders agreement with respect to the Company, each as in effect immediately prior to the First Effective Time, (ii) such Company Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer, (iii) the recipient of such portion of the Stockholder Merger Consideration, or the Person in whose name such portion of the Stockholder Merger Consideration is delivered or issued, shall have already executed and delivered, if a Significant Company Holder or a member of the Management Team, counterparts to a Lock-Up Agreement, and if applicable, the Registration Rights Agreement and Non-Competition Agreement, and such other Transmittal Documents as are reasonably deemed necessary by the Exchange Agent or SPAC and (iv) the Person requesting such delivery shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other related or similar Taxes required as a result of such delivery to a Person other than the registered holder of such Company Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that any Company Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, in lieu of delivery of a Company Certificate to the Exchange Agent, the applicable Company Stockholder may instead deliver to the Exchange Agent an affidavit of lost certificate and indemnity of loss in form and substance reasonably acceptable to SPAC (a "***Lost Certificate Affidavit***"), which at the reasonable discretion of SPAC may include a requirement that the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificate deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against SPAC or the Surviving Corporation or Surviving Entity with respect to the shares of Company Stock represented by the Company Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed. Any Lost Certificate Affidavit properly delivered in accordance with this <u>Section 1.12(d)</u> shall be treated as a Company Certificate for all purposes of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) After the First Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Stock. If, after the First Effective Time, Company Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation, Surviving Entity, SPAC or the Exchange Agent, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the applicable portion of the Stockholder Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth in this <u>Section 1.12</u>. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the date of this Agreement with respect to SPAC Common Stock with a record date after the First Effective Time will be paid to the holders of any Company Certificates that have not yet been surrendered with respect to the SPAC Common Stock to be issued upon surrender thereof until the holders of record of such Company Certificates shall surrender such certificates (or provide a Lost Certificate Affidavit), if applicable, and provide the other Transmittal Documents. Subject to applicable Law, following surrender of any such Company Certificates (or delivery of a Lost Certificate Affidavit), if applicable, and delivery of the other Transmittal Documents, SPAC shall promptly deliver to the record holders thereof, without interest, the certificates representing SPAC Common Stock issued in exchange therefor and the amount of any such dividends or other distributions with a record date after the First Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such SPAC Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) All securities issued upon the surrender of Company Securities in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Securities. Any Company Stockholder who has not exchanged its Company Stock for the applicable portion of the Stockholder Merger Consideration in accordance with this <u>Section 1.12</u> prior to that time shall thereafter look only to SPAC for payment of the portion of the Stockholder Merger Consideration in respect of such shares of Company Stock without any interest thereon (but with any dividends paid with respect thereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, Surviving Entity, SPAC or any Party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fraction of a share of SPAC Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby, and each Person who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of SPAC Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of SPAC Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such holder) shall instead have the number of shares of SPAC Common Stock issued to such Person rounded down in the aggregate to the nearest whole share of SPAC Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.13 <u>Effect of Transaction on Merger Sub Stock</u>. At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holders of any Company Securities or the holders of any shares of capital stock of SPAC or Merger Sub, each share of Merger Sub Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be converted into an equal number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.14 <u>Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action</u>. If, at any time after the First Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to effect, consummate, confirm or evidence the Transactions and carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Entity with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, Merger Sub and Merger Sub II, the officers and directors of the Company, Merger Sub and Merger Sub II are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.15 <u>Tax Withholding</u>. SPAC will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment to be made under this Agreement all Taxes that SPAC is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under any provision of applicable Tax Law. Before making any such deduction or withholding, SPAC shall give the Company Stockholders notice of the intention to make such deduction or withholding and such notice, which shall include the authority, basis, and method of calculation for the proposed deduction or withholding, shall be given at least three (3) Business Days before such deduction or withholding is required, in order for the Sellers to obtain reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding and shall assist Company Stockholders as reasonably requested in obtaining such reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding. Taxes withheld pursuant to this <u>Section 1.15</u> will be (i) timely remitted by SPAC to the appropriate Governmental Authority and (ii) treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Except as set forth on <u>Schedule 4.13(a)(iii)</u> of the Company Disclosure Schedules, all Company Registered IP is owned exclusively by the applicable Target Company without obligation to pay royalties, licensing fees or other fees, or otherwise account to any third party with respect to such Company Registered IP, and, where applicable, all necessary application, extension, registration, maintenance, renewal, or other filing fees due through the date of this Agreement have been timely paid with respect to Company Registered IP.

All Company Registered IP is valid, in force and in good standing with all required fees and maintenance fees having been paid with no Actions pending, and all applications to register any Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks are pending and in good standing, all without challenge of any kind. No Target Company is party to any Contract that requires a Target Company to assign to any Person all of its rights in any material Intellectual Property developed by a Target Company under such Contract.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Schedule 4.13(c)</u> of the Company Disclosure Schedules sets forth all Company Outbound IP Licenses involving license fees of more than $25,000 in the aggregate, under which the Company or a Significant Subsidiary is the licensor of Company IP, and for each such Company Outbound IP License, describes (i) the applicable Intellectual Property licensed, (ii) the licensee under such Company Outbound IP License, and (iii) any royalties, license fees or other compensation due to the Company or a Significant Subsidiary, if any.

No Target Company has received any written or, to the Knowledge of the Company, oral notice or claim asserting that any infringement, misappropriation, violation, dilution or unauthorized use of the Intellectual Property of any other Person is occurring or has occurred, as a consequence of the business activities of any Target Company, nor to the Knowledge of the Company is there a reasonable basis therefor. There are no Orders to which any Target Company is a party or its otherwise bound that (i) restrict the rights of a Target Company to use, transfer, license or enforce any Company Owned IP, (ii) restrict the conduct of the business of a Target Company in order to accommodate a third Person's Intellectual Property, or (iii) other than the Company Outbound IP Licenses, grant any third Person any right with respect to any material Company Owned IP.

Each Target Company has taken commercially reasonable security measures designed to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of the material Company IP.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) To the Knowledge of the Company, no Person has obtained unauthorized use of or access to third party confidential information or Personal Information ("***Sensitive Information***") in the possession of a Target Company, nor has there been any other material compromise of the security, confidentiality or integrity of such Sensitive Information. Each Target Company has complied in all material respects with all applicable Laws and written Contract requirements relating to privacy, protection, and the collection, processing and use of Personal Information and its own privacy policies and guidelines. The operation of the business of the Target Companies has not and does not violate any right to privacy or publicity of any third person, or constitute unfair competition or trade practices under applicable Law, in any case, in any material respect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in the material breach, material modification, cancellation, termination, suspension of, or acceleration of any payments with respect to, or release of source code included as part of Company IP. As of and following the Closing, the Company shall be permitted to exercise, directly or indirectly through its Subsidiaries, all of the Target Companies' rights under the Company Outbound IP Licenses and the Company Inbound IP Licenses to the same extent that the Target Companies would have been able to exercise had the transactions under this Agreement not occurred, without the payment of any additional amounts or consideration other than ongoing fees, royalties or payments which the Target Companies would otherwise be required to pay in the absence of such transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) To the Knowledge of the Company, the Software that constitutes Company Owned IP is free of all viruses, worms, Trojan horses and other material known contaminants and does not contain any bugs, errors, or problems of a material nature that would have an adverse impact on the operation of other Software. The Company has not incorporated Open Source Materials into the Company's Software under any Copyleft Licenses or used Open Source Materials in a manner that subjects, in whole or in part, any of Company's Software constituting Company Owned IP to any Copyleft License obligations. The Company has not received any written (or, to the Knowledge of Company, oral) notice from any Person that it is in breach of any license with respect to Open Source Materials.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) by written notice by SPAC to the Company, if there shall have been a Material Adverse Effect on the Target Companies, taken as a whole, following the date of this Agreement which is uncured and continuing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) by written notice by the Company to SPAC, if there shall have been a Material Adverse Effect on SPAC following the date of this Agreement which is uncured and continuing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) by written notice by either SPAC or the Company to the other, if SPAC Extraordinary General Meeting has been held (including following any adjournment or postponement thereof) and has concluded, SPAC's shareholders have duly voted, and the Required SPAC Shareholder Approval was not obtained;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) by written notice by the Company to SPAC if the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares have become delisted from Nasdaq and are not relisted on the Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange within sixty (60) days after such delisting; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) by written notice by either SPAC or the Company to the other, if the Company Special Meeting has been held (including following any adjournment or postponement thereof) and has concluded, the Company Stockholders have duly voted, and the Required Company Stockholder Approval was not obtained; provided, that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this <u>Section 7.1(h)</u> if at such time the Company or a Company Stockholder is in breach of this Agreement or a Voting Agreement so as to prevent the Required Company Stockholder Approval.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) by written notice by SPAC to the Company, if the (i) Company has not delivered the GAAP Audited Company Financials to SPAC within ninety (90) days from the date of this Agreement (provided, that such termination right under this clause (i) may no longer be exercised by SPAC after the Company has delivered to SPAC the GAAP Audited Company Financials) or (ii) the GAAP Audited Company Financials, when delivered, are materially different from the Audited Company Financials in an adverse manner, it being understood that any differences related to efforts to conform the GAAP Audited Company Financials to PCAOB and GAAP standards shall not be considered material.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.2 <u>Effect of Termination</u>. This Agreement may only be terminated in the circumstances described in <u>Section 7.1</u> and pursuant to a written notice delivered by the applicable Party to the other applicable Parties, which sets forth the basis for such termination, including the provision of <u>Section 7.1</u> under which such termination is made. In the event of the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to <u>Section 7.1</u>, this Agreement shall forthwith become void, and there shall be no Liability on the part of any Party or any of their respective Representatives, and all rights and obligations of each Party shall cease, except: (i) <u>Sections 5.14</u>, <u>5.15</u>, <u>7.3</u>, <u>8.1</u>, <u>Article IX</u> and this <u>Section 7.2</u> shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any Party from Liability for any Willful Breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under this Agreement or any Fraud Claim against such Party, in either case, prior to termination of this Agreement (in each case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, subject to <u>Section 8.1</u>). Without limiting and subject to the foregoing, and except as provided in <u>Sections 7.3</u> and this <u>Section 7.2</u> (but subject to <u>Section 8.1</u>) and subject to the right to seek injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief in accordance with <u>Section 9.8</u>, the Parties' sole right prior to the Closing with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement by another Party or with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be the right, if applicable, to terminate this Agreement pursuant to <u>Section 7.1</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.3 <u>Fees and Expenses</u>. Subject to <u>Section 8.1</u>, any and all Expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Party incurring such expenses. As used in this Agreement, "***Expenses***" shall include all out-of-pocket expenses (including all fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, investment bankers, financial advisors, financing sources, experts and consultants to a Party hereto or any of its Affiliates) incurred by a Party or on its behalf in connection with or related to the authorization, preparation, negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document related hereto and all other matters related to the consummation of this Agreement. With respect to SPAC's Expenses (the "***SPAC Expenses***"), Expenses shall include any and all deferred expenses (including fees or commissions payable to the underwriters and any legal fees) of the IPO upon consummation of a Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of SPAC and the Company shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of (i) all filing fees paid to Governmental Authorities under any applicable Antitrust Laws, including the HSR Act ("***Antitrust Expenses***"), and (ii) all filing fees and expenses under U.S. securities laws relating to the preparation, printing, mailing and filing of the Registration Statement and/or Proxy Statement ("***SEC Filing Fee Expenses***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.4 <u>Termination Fee</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Notwithstanding Section 7.3 above, in the event that there is a valid and effective termination of this Agreement by SPAC pursuant to Section 7.1(e), then the Company shall pay to SPAC a termination fee in cash equal to Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000.00) plus the Expenses, not to exceed $400,000, actually incurred by or on behalf of SPAC or any of its Affiliates in connection with the authorization, preparation, negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents or the Merger or the other Transactions, including any related SEC filings, the Registration Statement, the Closing Redemption and any Transaction Financing (such aggregate amount, the "***SPAC Termination Fee***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding <u>Section 7.3</u> above, in the event that there is a valid and effective termination of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to <u>Section 7.1(d)</u>, then SPAC shall pay to the Company a termination fee in cash equal to Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000.00) plus the Expenses, not to exceed $400,000, actually incurred by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Affiliates in connection with the authorization, preparation, negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents or the Merger or the other Transactions, including any Transaction Financing (such aggregate amount, the "***Company Termination Fee***" and together with the SPAC Termination Fee, a "***Termination Fee***"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Termination Fee shall only be payable by SPAC upon the earlier of SPAC's completion of a Business Combination with another Person thereafter or the dissolution and liquidation of SPAC (in each case, solely to the extent of funds outside of the Trust Account after payment of the amounts owed to Public Shareholders with respect to their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares either in connection with such dissolution and liquidation or pursuant to redemptions in connection with such Business Combination, and without recourse against the Public Shareholders).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Any Termination Fee due hereunder shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Party entitled to such Termination Fee within five (5) Business Days after the Party entitled to such Termination Fee delivers to the other Party the amount of such Expenses, along with reasonable documentation in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that, with respect to any termination of this Agreement in circumstances where a Termination Fee is payable, the payment of such Termination Fee shall, in light of the difficulty of accurately determining actual damages, constitute liquidated damages with respect to any claim for damages or any other claim which the Party entitled to such Termination Fee would otherwise be entitled to assert against the other Party or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective assets, or against any of their respective directors, officers, employees or shareholders with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy available to the Party entitled to such Termination Fee, provided, that the foregoing shall not limit (x) the other Party from Liability for any Fraud Claims relating to events occurring prior to termination of this Agreement or (y) the rights of the Party entitled to such Termination Fee to seek specific performance or other injunctive relief in lieu of terminating this Agreement.

**Article VIII<u><br> TRUST WAIVER</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.1 <u>Waiver of Claims Against Trust</u>. Reference is made to the IPO Prospectus. Each of the Company and the Seller Representative hereby represents and warrants that it has read the IPO Prospectus and understands that SPAC has established the Trust Account containing the proceeds of the IPO and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of SPAC's public shareholders (the "***Public Shareholders***") and that, except as otherwise described in the IPO Prospectus and the SPAC's Organizational Documents, SPAC may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Shareholders in the event they elect to redeem their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with any shareholder vote on a proposed business combination (as such term is used in the IPO Prospectus) ("***Business Combination***") but only in the event that the applicable Business Combination is approved and consummated and subject to the limitations contained in the SPAC Organizational Documents; (b) to the Public Shareholders who elect to have their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares repurchased by means of a tender offer subject to the provisions contained in the SPAC Organizational Documents; (c) to the Public Shareholders if any amendment is made to the SPAC's Organizational Documents prior to the consummation of the Business Combination (i) to modify the substance or timing of SPAC's obligations to allow redemption in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company has not consummated a Business Combination within twenty one (21) months after the closing of the IPO (or 24 months from the closing of the IPO if it executes a definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 21 months from the closing the IPO); (ii) with respect to any other material provisions relating to the rights of holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares; or (iii) pre-initial Business Combination activity upon the effectiveness of any such amendment; (d) to the Public Shareholders if SPAC fails to consummate a Business Combination within twenty one (21) months after the closing of the IPO (or 24 months from the closing of the IPO if it executes a definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 21 months from the closing the IPO), and subject to extension by amendment to SPAC's Organizational Documents, including interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of, taxes payable and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), and (e) to SPAC after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of SPAC entering into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Company and the Seller Representative hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Affiliates that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Company, the Seller Representatives, nor any of their respective Affiliates do now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively, the "***Released Claims***"). Each of the Company and the Seller Representative on behalf of itself and its Affiliates hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that the Company, the Seller Representative, or any of their respective Affiliates may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of this Agreement or any other agreement with SPAC or its Affiliates). Each of the Company and the Seller Representative agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by SPAC and its Affiliates to induce SPAC to enter in this Agreement, and each of the Company and the Seller Representative further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against such Party and each of its Affiliates under applicable Law. To the extent that the Company or any of its Affiliates commences any Action based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to SPAC or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against SPAC or its Representatives, the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that its and its Affiliates' sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit such Party or any of its Affiliates (or any Person claiming on any of their behalves or in lieu of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. In the event that the Company or the Seller Representative or any of their respective Affiliates commences any Action based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to SPAC or its Representatives which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or the Public Shareholders, whether in the form of money damages or injunctive relief, SPAC and its Representatives, as applicable, shall be entitled to recover from the Company, the Seller Representative and their respective Affiliates, as applicable, the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such Action, in the event SPAC or its Representatives, as applicable, prevails in such Action. This <u>Section 8.1</u> shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason and continue indefinitely.

**Article IX<u><br> MISCELLANEOUS</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.1 <u>Non-Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants</u>. Except in the case of a Fraud Claim against a Person, the representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall not survive the Closing, and shall terminate and expire upon the occurrence of the Closing (and there shall be no Liability after the Closing in respect thereof), and from and after the Closing, the Parties and their respective Representatives shall not have any further obligations, nor shall any claim be asserted or action be brought against the Parties or their respective Representatives with respect thereto. The covenants and agreements made by the Parties in this Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including any rights arising out of any breach of such covenants or agreements, shall not survive the Closing, and shall terminate and expire upon the occurrence of the Closing (and there shall be no liability after the Closing in respect thereof), except for those covenants and agreements contained herein and therein that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing (which such covenants shall survive the Closing and continue until fully performed in accordance with their terms); provided, that in the context of breaches thereof, with respect only to any breaches occurring after the Closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.2 <u>Non-Recourse</u>. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as Parties and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party. Except to the extent a Party (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such Party in this Agreement), (a) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, sponsor, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any Party and (b) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, sponsor, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any one or more of SPAC, Merger Sub, Merger Sub II or the Company under this Agreement of or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.4 <u>Binding Effect; Assignment</u>. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall not be assigned by operation of Law or otherwise without the prior written consent of SPAC (and after the Closing, the SPAC Representative) and the Company (and after the Closing, the Seller Representative), and any assignment without such consent shall be null and void; *provided* that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning Party of its obligations hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.5 <u>Third Parties</u>. Except for the rights of the D&O Indemnified Persons set forth in <u>Section 5.17</u>, and of the Sponsor, EGS and Latham in <u>Section 9.15</u>, which the Parties acknowledge and agree are express third party beneficiaries of this Agreement for purposes of such Sections and related enforcement provisions, 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 that is not a Party hereto or thereto or a successor or permitted assign of such a Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.6 <u>Governing Law; Jurisdiction</u>. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof. All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County, Delaware or, if such court shall not have jurisdiction, any federal court located in the State of Delaware or other Delaware state court (or, in each case, any appellate courts thereof) (the "***Specified Courts***"). Each Party hereby (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Specified Court for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any Party and (b) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the Specified Courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by any Specified Court. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each Party irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other Action relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such Party at the applicable address set forth in <u>Section 9.3</u>. Nothing in this <u>Section 9.6</u> shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.7 <u>WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL</u>. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS <u>SECTION 9.7</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.8 <u>Specific Performance</u>. Each Party acknowledges that the rights of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any Party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching Parties may have not adequate remedy at law, and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by an applicable Party in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to seek 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.9 <u>Severability</u>. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.10 <u>Amendment</u>. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by execution of a written instrument signed by SPAC and the Company; *provided*, that any amendment, supplement or modification following the Closing shall require the prior written consent of the SPAC Representative and the Seller Representative.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.11 <u>Waiver</u>. SPAC on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, the Company on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, the Seller Representative on behalf of itself and the Earnout Participants to the extent provided in this Agreement and the SPAC Representative on behalf of itself and the SPAC shareholders (other than the Company Security Holders and their respective successors and assignees) to the extent provided in this Agreement, may in its sole discretion (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any other non-Affiliated Party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties by such other non-Affiliated Party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance by such other non-Affiliated Party with any covenant or condition contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party or Parties to be bound thereby (including by the applicable Representative Party in lieu of such Party to the extent provided in this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder.

**WHEREAS**, as a condition to the willingness of SPAC to enter into the Merger Agreement, and as an inducement and in consideration therefor, and in view of the valuable consideration to be received by each Holder thereunder, and the expenses and efforts to be undertaken by SPAC and the Company to consummate the Merger Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the Transactions, SPAC, the Company and such Holder desire to enter into this Agreement in order for such Holder to provide certain assurances to SPAC regarding the manner in which such Holder is bound hereunder to vote its Subject Stock during the period from and including the date hereof through and including the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms (the "***Voting Period***") with respect to the Merger Agreement, the Merger, the Ancillary Documents and the Transactions.

Each Holder hereby affirms that such irrevocable proxy is coupled with an interest by reason of the Merger Agreement and, except upon the termination of this Agreement in accordance with <u>Section 5(a)</u>, is intended to be irrevocable. Each Holder agrees, until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with <u>Section 5(a)</u>, to vote its Subject Stock in accordance with <u>Section 1</u> above.

Each Holder agrees that during the Voting Period it shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, without SPAC's prior written consent, (A) offer for sale, sell (including short sales), transfer, tender, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of (including by gift) (collectively, a "***Transfer***"); (B) enter into any contract, option, derivative, hedging or other agreement or arrangement or understanding (including any profit-sharing arrangement) with respect to, or consent to, a Transfer of, any or all of the Subject Stock; (C) grant any proxies or powers of attorney with respect to any or all of the Subject Stock; (D) permit to exist any lien of any nature whatsoever (other than those imposed by this Agreement, applicable securities Laws or the Company's Organizational Documents, as in effect on the date hereof) with respect to any or all of the Subject Stock; or (E) take any action that would have the effect of preventing, impeding, interfering with or adversely affecting such Holder's ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to any Transfer (a "***Permitted Transfer***"): (i) to any Affiliate of such Holder, including to any member, partner, stockholder, or other equity holder of such Holder, or to any family member or trust for the benefit of such Holder or such Holder's family members, (ii) by will or intestate succession upon the death of such Holder, (iii) pursuant to a court order or settlement agreement related to the distribution of assets in connection with the dissolution of marriage or civil union, or (iv) with the prior written consent of SPAC (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, further, that any Permitted Transfer shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such Transfer, the transferee agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to SPAC, to assume all of the obligations of such Holder under, and be bound by all of the terms of, this Agreement. The Company hereby agrees that it shall not permit any Transfer of the Subject Stock in violation of this Agreement. Each Holder agrees with, and covenants to, SPAC that such Holder shall not request that the Company register the Transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any certificate or uncertificated share representing any Subject Stock during the term of this Agreement without the prior written consent of SPAC, and the Company hereby agrees that it shall not effect any such Transfer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Changes to Subject Stock</u>. In the event of an equity distribution, or any change in the equity interests of the Company by reason of any equity distribution, equity split, recapitalization, combination, conversion, exchange of equity interests or the like, the term "Subject Stock" shall be deemed to refer to and include the Subject Stock as well as all such equity distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of the Subject Stock may be changed or exchanged or which are received in such transaction. Each Holder agrees during the Voting Period to notify SPAC and the Company promptly in writing of the number and type of any changes to Holder's ownership of or voting rights with respect to the Subject Stock, upon Holder's acquisition or commitment to acquire any additional Subject Stock or upon any other changes involving Holder relating to the equity interests or securities convertible or exercisable for equity interests of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Compliance with Merger Agreement</u>. Each Holder agrees during the Voting Period not to take or agree or commit to take any action that would make any representation and warranty of such Holder contained in this Agreement inaccurate in any material respect. Each Holder further agrees that it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with SPAC to effect the Mergers, all other Transactions, the Merger Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the provisions of this Agreement. During the Voting Period, each Holder shall not authorize or permit any of its Representatives to, directly or indirectly, take any action that the Company is prohibited from taking pursuant to <u>Section 5.2</u> of the Merger Agreement (unless SPAC shall have consented thereto).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Registration Statement</u>. During the Voting Period, each Holder agrees to provide to SPAC, the Company and their respective Representatives any information regarding such Holder or the Subject Stock that is reasonably requested by SPAC, Company or their respective Representatives for inclusion in the Registration Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Publicity</u>. No Holder shall issue any press release or otherwise make any public statements with respect to the Transactions or the transactions contemplated herein without the prior written approval of the Company and SPAC. Each Holder hereby authorizes the Company and SPAC to publish and disclose in any announcement or disclosure required by the SEC, Nasdaq or the Registration Statement (including all documents and schedules filed with the SEC in connection with the foregoing), such Holder's identity and ownership of the Subject Stock and the nature of such Holder's commitments and agreements under this Agreement, the Merger Agreement and any other Ancillary Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. **<u>Representations and Warranties of Holders</u>**. Each Holder hereby represents and warrants to SPAC and the Company as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Binding Agreement</u>. Such Holder (i) if a natural person, is of legal age to execute this Agreement and is legally competent to do so and (ii) if not a natural person, is (A) a corporation, limited liability company, company or partnership duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and (B) has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. If such Holder is not a natural person, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by such Holder has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability or partnership action on the part of such Holder, as applicable. This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the other parties hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Holder, enforceable against such Holder in accordance with its terms (except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditor's rights, and to general equitable principles). Such Holder understands and acknowledges that SPAC is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Ownership of Subject Stock</u>. As of the date hereof, such Holder has beneficial ownership over the Subject Stock set forth under such Holder's name on the signature page hereto, is the lawful owner of such Subject Stock, has the sole power to vote or cause to be voted such Subject Stock (to the extent the Subject Stock have associated voting rights), and has good and valid title to such Subject Stock, free and clear of any and all pledges, mortgages, encumbrances, charges, proxies, voting agreements, liens, adverse claims, options, security interests and demands of any nature or kind whatsoever, other than those imposed by this Agreement, applicable securities Laws, the Company's Organizational Documents, and, for each of the Company's Series of Preferred Stock, the Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreements, ROFR and Co-Sale Agreements and Voting Agreements as in effect on the date hereof. There are no claims for finder's fees or brokerage commission or other like payments in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby payable by such Holder pursuant to arrangements made by such Holder. Except for the Subject Stock of the Company set forth under such Holder's name on the signature page hereto, as of the date of this Agreement, such Holder is not a beneficial owner or record holder of any: (i) equity securities of the Company, (ii) securities of the Company having the right to vote on any matters on which the holders of equity securities of the Company may vote or which are convertible into or exchangeable for, at any time, equity securities of the Company or (iii) options, warrants or other rights to acquire from the Company any equity securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>No Conflicts</u>. No filing with, or notification to, any Governmental Authority, and no consent, approval, authorization or permit of any other person is necessary for the execution of this Agreement by such Holder, the performance of its obligations hereunder or the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby. None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Holder, the performance of its obligations hereunder or the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby shall (i) conflict with or result in any breach of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other comparable organizational documents of such Holder, if applicable, (ii) result in, or give rise to, a violation or breach of or a default under any of the terms of any Contract or obligation to which such Holder is a party or by which such Holder or any of the Subject Stock or its other assets may be bound, or (iii) violate any applicable Law or Order, except for any of the foregoing as would not reasonably be expected to impair such Holder's ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>No Inconsistent Agreements</u>. Holder hereby covenants and agrees that, except for this Agreement, Holder (i) has not entered into, nor will enter into at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to the Subject Stock, (ii) has not granted, nor will grant at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, a proxy, a consent or power of attorney with respect to the Subject Stock and (iii) has not entered into any agreement or knowingly taken any action (nor will enter into any agreement or knowingly take any action) that would make any representation or warranty of Holder contained herein untrue or incorrect in any material respect or have the effect of preventing Holder from performing any of its material obligations under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Adequate Information</u>. Such Holder has been furnished or given access to adequate information concerning the business and financial condition of SPAC and the Company to make an information decision regarding this Agreement and the Transactions and has independently and without reliance upon SPAC or the Company and based on such information as such Holder has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Such Holder acknowledges that SPAC and the Company have not made and do not make any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, of any kind or character except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Such Holder acknowledges that the agreements contained herein with respect to the Subject Securities held by such Holder are irrevocable and result in the waiver of any right of the undersigned to demand appraisal in connection with the Mergers under Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and any other Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Litigation</u>. There are no Legal Proceedings pending against such Holder or, to the knowledge of such Holder, threatened in writing against such Holder, before (or, in the case of threatened Legal Proceedings, that would be before) any arbitrator or any Governmental Authority, which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Holder of its obligations under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>Brokerage Fees</u>. No broker, finder, investment banker or other Person is entitled to any brokerage fee, finders' fee or other commission in connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by such Holder in his, her or its capacity as a stockholder of the Company, for which the Company or any of its Affiliates may become liable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) <u>Acknowledgement</u>. Such Holder understands and acknowledges that each of the SPAC and the Company is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Holder's execution and delivery of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Miscellaneous</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Termination</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement shall automatically terminate, and none of SPAC, the Company or any Holder shall have any rights or obligations hereunder, upon the earliest to occur of (i) the mutual written consent of SPAC and the Company, (ii) the Second Effective Time (following the performance of the obligations of the parties hereunder required to be performed at or prior to the Second Effective Time), and (iii) the date of termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms. The termination of this Agreement shall not prevent any party hereunder from seeking any remedies (at law or in equity) against another party hereto or relieve such party from liability for such party's breach of any terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of this <u>Section 5</u> shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Binding Effect; Assignment</u>. 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 assigned, transferred or delegated by operation of Law or otherwise without the prior written consent of SPAC and the Company, and any purported assignment, transfer or delegation without such consent shall be null and void; *provided* that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder. Each of the Company and SPAC 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 or otherwise) without obtaining the consent or approval of Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Third Parties</u>. 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 that is not a party hereto or thereto or a successor or permitted assign of such a party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Governing Law; Jurisdiction</u>. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof. All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County, Delaware or, if such court shall not have jurisdiction, any federal court located in the State of Delaware or other Delaware state court (or, in each case, any appellate courts thereof) (the "***Specified Courts***"). Each party hereby (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Specified Court for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party and (b) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the Specified Courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by any Specified Court. Each party agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other Action relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such party at the applicable address set forth in <u>Section 5(g)</u>. Nothing in this <u>Section 5(d)</u> shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL</u>. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS <u>SECTION 5(e)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Interpretation</u>. The titles and subtitles contained in this Agreement are solely for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the parties and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) <u>Amendments and Waivers</u>. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and 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 SPAC, the Company and each Holder. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Severability</u>. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) <u>Specific Performance</u>. Each Holder acknowledge that its obligations under this Agreement are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by such Holder, money damages will be inadequate and the Company and SPAC will not have an adequate remedy at law, and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by such Holder in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Company and SPAC shall be entitled to seek an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement by any such Holder and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) <u>Expenses</u>. Each party shall be responsible for its own fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of investment bankers, accountants and counsel) in connection with the entering into of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that in the event of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the non-prevailing party in any such Action will pay its own expenses and the reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, reasonably incurred by the prevailing party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) <u>No Partnership, Agency or Joint Venture</u>. This Agreement is intended to create a contractual relationship among the Holders, the Company and SPAC, and is not intended to create, and does not create, any agency, partnership, joint venture or any like relationship among the parties hereto or among any other Company Stockholders entering into voting agreements with the Company or SPAC. No Holder is affiliated with any other holder of Subject Stock entering into any other voting or support agreement with the Company or SPAC in connection with the Merger Agreement and Holder has acted independently regarding its decision to enter into this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in the Company or SPAC any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Subject Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) <u>Further Assurances</u>. From time to time, at another party's request and without further consideration, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) <u>Entire Agreement</u>. 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; <u>provided</u>, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties under the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of SPAC or any of the obligations of any Holder under any other agreement between such Holder and SPAC or any certificate or instrument executed by such 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 such Holder under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o) <u>Counterparts</u>. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile, pdf or other electronic transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

**WHEREAS**, as of the date hereof, Holder is a holder of Company Securities in such amounts and classes or series as set forth underneath Holder's name on the signature page hereto; and

 **NOW, THEREFORE**, in consideration of the foregoing premises, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Lock-Up Provisions</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Holder hereby agrees not to, during the period (the "***Lock-Up Period***") commencing from the Closing and ending six (6) months after the date of the Closing: (A) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or enter into any agreement 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 any respect to, any Restricted Securities, (B) 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, or (C) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (A) or (B), (any of the foregoing described in clauses (A) and (B), a "***Prohibited Transfer***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The restrictions set forth in <u>Section 1(a)</u> shall not apply to the transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities owned by Holder (i) by gift, will or intestate succession upon the death of Holder, (ii) to any Permitted Transferee (as defined below), (iii) pursuant to a court order or settlement agreement related to the distribution of assets in connection with the dissolution of marriage or civil union, (iv) in connection with the exercise of any options, warrants or other convertible securities to purchase SPAC Common Stock (which exercises may be effected on a cashless basis to the extent the instruments representing such options or warrants permit exercises on a cashless basis) to the extent that any SPAC Common Stock issued upon such exercise are Restricted Securities subject to <u>Section 1(a)</u> of this Agreement, (v) to the extent required by any legal or regulatory order, and (vi) to any corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, investment funds or vehicles or other business entities controlled or managed by the Holder or any of its affiliates; provided, however, that in any of cases (i) through (vi) it shall be a condition to such transfer that the transferee executes and delivers to SPAC an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Restricted Securities subject to the provisions of this Agreement applicable to Holder, and there shall be no further transfer of such Restricted Securities except in accordance with this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) As used in this Agreement, the term "***Permitted Transferee***" shall mean: (i) the members of Holder's immediate family (for purposes of this Agreement, "immediate family" shall mean with respect to any natural person, any of the following: such person's spouse, the siblings of such person and his or her spouse, and the direct descendants and ascendants (including adopted and step children and parents) of such person and his or her spouses and siblings), (ii) any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of Holder or the immediate family of Holder, (iii) if Holder is a trust, the trustor or beneficiary of such trust or to the estate of a beneficiary of such trust, (iv) if Holder is an entity, as a distribution to limited partners, shareholders, members of, or owners of similar equity interests in Holder, (v) a nominee or custodian of a person to whom a transfer can be made under <u>Section 1(b)</u>, and (vi) any affiliate of Holder. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) 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, and any duly appointed transfer agent for the registration or transfer of the securities described therein, are hereby authorized to 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 <u>Section 1</u>, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) During the Lock-Up Period, each certificate (or book entry statement) 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 NOVEMBER 14, 2025, BY AND AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE "ISSUER"), A CERTAIN REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ISSUER NAMED THEREIN AND THE ISSUER'S SECURITY HOLDER 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."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) For the avoidance of any doubt, Holder shall retain all of its rights as a stockholder of SPAC during the Lock-Up Period, including the right to vote any Restricted Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Miscellaneous</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) <u>Amendments and Waivers</u>. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and 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 SPAC, SPAC Representative and Holder. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Severability</u>. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) <u>Specific Performance</u>. 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 and SPAC Representative on behalf of 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, each of SPAC and SPAC Representative 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) <u>Entire Agreement</u>. 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; <u>provided</u>, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties under the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of SPAC and SPAC Representative or any of the obligations of Holder under any other agreement between Holder and SPAC and SPAC Representative or any certificate or instrument executed by Holder in favor of SPAC and SPAC Representative, and nothing in any other agreement, certificate or instrument shall limit any of the rights or remedies of SPAC and SPAC Representative or any of the obligations of Holder under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) <u>Further Assurances</u>. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) <u>Counterparts</u>. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile, pdf or other electronic transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

**FORM OF MANAGEMENT LOCK-UP AGREEMENT**

THIS LOCK-UP AGREEMENT (this "***Agreement***") is made and entered into as of November 14, 2025 by and among (i) **Live Oak Acquisition Corp.** V, a Cayman Islands exempted company (together with its successors, including after giving effect to the Domestication (as defined below), "***SPAC***"), (ii) Live Oak Sponsor V, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company in the capacity under the Merger Agreement (as defined below) as SPAC Representative thereunder (including any successor SPAC Representative appointed in accordance therewith, the "***SPAC Representative***"), and (iii) the undersigned ("***Holder***"). Any capitalized term used but not defined in this Agreement will have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

**WHEREAS**, on or about the date hereof, (i) SPAC, (ii) the Company, (iii) Catalyst Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPAC ("***Merger Sub***"), (iv) Catalyst Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPAC ("***Merger Sub II***"), (v) SPAC Representative and (vi) Brian Gaebe, in the capacity as the Seller Representative, entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (as may be amended, modified, supplemented and/or restated from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the "***Merger Agreement***");

**WHEREAS**, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the "***Transactions***"), among other matters, (a) SPAC will continue out of the Cayman Islands and become domesticated as a corporation in the state of Delaware (the "***Domestication***"), (b) Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the "***First Merger***"), with the Company surviving such merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPAC (the "***Surviving Corporation***") and (c) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Merger Sub II (the "***Second Merger***" and together with the First Merger, the "***Mergers***") upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, and as a result of which (i) all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, in exchange for the right for each Company Stockholder to receive its Pro Rata Share of the Stockholder Merger Consideration and each Earnout Participant to receive their Earnout Shares and (ii) the In-the-Money Company Options shall be assumed (with equitable adjustments to the number and exercise price of such Company Options) by SPAC with the result that such assumed In-the-Money Company Options shall be replaced with Assumed Options exercisable into shares of SPAC Common Stock, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL and DLLCA;

**WHEREAS**, as of the date hereof, Holder is a holder of Company Securities in such amounts and classes or series as set forth underneath Holder's name on the signature page hereto; and

**WHEREAS**, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and in view of the valuable consideration to be received by Holder thereunder, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which (i) the Stockholder Merger Consideration, (ii) the Earnout Shares and/or (iii) the Assumed Options and all SPAC Common Stock underlying the Assumed Options, received by Holder in the Transactions (all such securities, together with any securities paid as dividends or distributions with respect to such securities or into which such securities are exchanged or converted, the *"**Restricted Securities**"*), shall become subject to the restrictions set forth herein.

 **NOW, THEREFORE**, in consideration of the foregoing premises, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Lock-Up Provisions</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Holder hereby agrees not to, during the period (the "***Lock-Up Period***") commencing from the Closing and ending on the earliest of (i) the four-year anniversary of the Closing, (ii) the date on which the VWAP of SPAC Common Stock equals or exceeds $25.00 per share (as equitably adjusted for share subdivisions, share consolidations, share capitalizations, stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations and the like) for any twenty (20) Trading Days within any thirty (30) Trading Day period, commencing at least 150 days after the Closing, and (iii) the date after the Closing on which SPAC completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction with an unaffiliated third party that results in all of SPAC's stockholders having the right to exchange their equity holdings in SPAC for cash, securities or other property: (A) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or enter into any agreement 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 any respect to, any Restricted Securities, (B) 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, or (C) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (A) or (B), (any of the foregoing described in clauses (A) and (B), a "***Prohibited Transfer***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The restrictions set forth in <u>Section 1(a)</u> shall not apply to the transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities owned by Holder (i) by gift, will or intestate succession upon the death of Holder, (ii) to any Permitted Transferee (as defined below), (iii) pursuant to a court order or settlement agreement related to the distribution of assets in connection with the dissolution of marriage or civil union, (iv) in connection with the exercise of any options, warrants or other convertible securities to purchase SPAC Common Stock (which exercises may be effected on a cashless basis to the extent the instruments representing such options or warrants permit exercises on a cashless basis) to the extent that any SPAC Common Stock issued upon such exercise are Restricted Securities subject to <u>Section 1(a)</u> of this Agreement, (v) following the six-month anniversary of the Closing, in connection with any bona fide mortgage, pledge or encumbrance to a bank or financial institution which has a rating for its long term unsecured and non-credit enhanced debt obligations of at least investment grade by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or any other bank or financial institution approved by the SPAC, as collateral or security in connection with any bona fide loan, securities-based line of credit, other debt transaction or enforcement thereunder, including foreclosure thereof, not to exceed the lesser of (x) Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) or (y) ten percent (10%) of SPAC's volume weighted average equity market capitalization over the ten (10) day trading period immediately preceding the date of the mortgage, pledge or encumbrance, (vi) to the extent required by any legal or regulatory order, and (vii) to any corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, investment funds or vehicles or other business entities controlled or managed by the Holder or any of its affiliates; provided, however, that in any of cases (i) through (vii) it shall be a condition to such transfer that the transferee executes and delivers to SPAC an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Restricted Securities subject to the provisions of this Agreement applicable to Holder, and there shall be no further transfer of such Restricted Securities except in accordance with this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) As used in this Agreement, the term "***Permitted Transferee***" shall mean: (i) the members of Holder's immediate family (for purposes of this Agreement, "immediate family" shall mean with respect to any natural person, any of the following: such person's spouse, the siblings of such person and his or her spouse, and the direct descendants and ascendants (including adopted and step children and parents) of such person and his or her spouses and siblings), (ii) any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of Holder or the immediate family of Holder, (iii) if Holder is a trust, the trustor or beneficiary of such trust or to the estate of a beneficiary of such trust, (iv) if Holder is an entity, as a distribution to limited partners, shareholders, members of, or owners of similar equity interests in Holder, (v) a nominee or custodian of a person to whom a transfer can be made under <u>Section 1(b)</u>, and (vi) any affiliate of Holder. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) 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, and any duly appointed transfer agent for the registration or transfer of the securities described therein, are hereby authorized to 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 <u>Section 1</u>, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) During the Lock-Up Period, each certificate (or book entry statement) 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 NOVEMBER 14, 2025, BY AND AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE "ISSUER"), A CERTAIN REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ISSUER NAMED THEREIN AND THE ISSUER'S SECURITY HOLDER NAMED THEREIN, AS AMENDED.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) <u>Amendments and Waivers</u>. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and 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 SPAC, SPAC Representative and Holder. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Severability</u>. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) <u>Specific Performance</u>. 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 and SPAC Representative on behalf of 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, each of SPAC and SPAC Representative 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) <u>Entire Agreement</u>. 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; <u>provided</u>, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties under the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of SPAC and SPAC Representative or any of the obligations of Holder under any other agreement between Holder and SPAC and SPAC Representative or any certificate or instrument executed by Holder in favor of SPAC and SPAC Representative, and nothing in any other agreement, certificate or instrument shall limit any of the rights or remedies of SPAC and SPAC Representative or any of the obligations of Holder under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) <u>Further Assurances</u>. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) <u>Counterparts</u>. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile, pdf or other electronic transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

THIS NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT (this "***Agreement***") is being executed and delivered as of [●], 2025, by [●] (the "***Subject Party***") in favor of and for the benefit of **Live Oak Acquisition Corp. V**, a Cayman Islands exempted company (together with its successors, the "***SPAC***"), **Teamshares Inc.**, a Delaware corporation (together with its successors, the "***Company***"), and each of SPAC's and/or the Company's respective present and future Affiliates, successors and direct and indirect Subsidiaries (collectively with SPAC and the Company, the "***Covered Party***" or "***Covered Parties***"). Any capitalized term used but not defined in this Agreement will have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, on or about the date hereof, (i) SPAC, (ii) the Company, (iii) Catalyst Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPAC ("***Merger Sub***"), (iv) Catalyst Sub 2 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPAC ("***Merger Sub II***" and together with Merger Sub, "***Merger Subs***"), (v) Live Oak Sponsor V, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, in the capacity as SPAC Representative under the Merger Agreement (including any successor SPAC Representative appointed in accordance therewith, the "***SPAC Representative***") and (vi) Brian Gaebe, in the capacity as the Seller Representative, entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (as may be amended, modified, supplemented and/or restated from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the "***Merger Agreement***");

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the "***Transactions***"), among other matters, (a) SPAC will continue out of the Cayman Islands and become domesticated as a corporation in the state of Delaware (the "***Domestication***"), (b) Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the "***First Merger***"), with the Company surviving such merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPAC (the "***Surviving Corporation***") and (c) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Merger Sub II (the "***Second Merger***" and together with the First Merger, the "***Mergers***") upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, and as a result of which (i) all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, in exchange for the right for each Company Stockholder to receive its Pro Rata Share of the Stockholder Merger Consideration and each Earnout Participant to receive their Earnout Shares and (ii) the In-the-Money Company Options shall be assumed (with equitable adjustments to the number and exercise price of such Company Options) by SPAC with the result that such assumed In-the-Money Company Options shall be replaced with Assumed Options exercisable into shares of SPAC Common Stock, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL and DLLCA;

WHEREAS, the Company (and after the consummation of the Transactions, SPAC), directly and indirectly through its Subsidiaries, engages in the business of: (i) acquiring small businesses from retiring owners and integrating those businesses as subsidiaries of the Company's network, while aligning employee and network company interests, and (ii) developing and providing financial products and shared services (collectively, the "***Business***");

WHEREAS, in connection with, and as a condition to the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (collectively, the "***Transactions***"), and to enable SPAC to secure more fully the benefits of the Transactions, including the protection and maintenance of the goodwill and confidential information of the Company and its Subsidiaries, SPAC has required that the Subject Party enter into this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Subject Party is entering into this Agreement in order to induce SPAC to enter into the Merger Agreement and consummate the Transactions, pursuant to which the Subject Party will directly or indirectly receive a material benefit; and

WHEREAS, the Subject Party, as a former and/or current stockholder, director, officer or employee of the Company or its Affiliates, has contributed to the value of the Company and its Subsidiaries and has obtained extensive and valuable knowledge and confidential information concerning the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce SPAC to enter into the Merger Agreement and consummate the Transactions, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Subject Party hereby agrees as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1. Restriction on Competition.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Restriction</u>. The Subject Party hereby agrees that during the period from the Closing until the two (2) year anniversary of the Closing Date (the "***Restricted Period***"), the Subject Party will not, and will cause any Person who the Subject Party Controls (his, her or its "***Affiliates***")not to, without the prior written consent of SPAC (which may be withheld in its sole discretion), anywhere in the United States of America or in any other country in which the Company is engaged or is actively preparing to become engaged (of which the Subject Party is aware) in the Business as of the Closing Date or during the Restricted Period (the "***Territory***"), directly or indirectly (i) engage in a business that competes with or is actively preparing to compete with the Business, (ii) own, manage, finance or control, or participate in the ownership, management, financing or control of, a business that competes with or is actively preparing to compete with the Business, or (iii) become engaged by or serve as an officer, director, member, partner, employee, agent, consultant, contractor advisor or representative of, a business or entity (other than a Covered Party) that competes with the Business (a "***Competitor***"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subject Party and his, her or its Affiliates may own passive investments of up to five percent (5%) of any class of outstanding equity interests in a Competitor, so long as the Subject Party and his, her or its Affiliates and immediate family members are not directly involved in the management or control of such Competitor ("***Permitted Ownership***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Acknowledgment</u>. The Subject Party acknowledges and agrees, based upon the advice of legal counsel and/or the Subject Party's own education, experience and training, that: (i) the Subject Party possesses knowledge of confidential information of the Covered Parties and the Business, (ii) the Subject Party's execution of this Agreement is a material inducement to SPAC and the Company to consummate the Transactions and to realize the goodwill of the Company and its Subsidiaries, for which the Subject Party and/or his, her or its Affiliates will receive a substantial direct or indirect financial benefit, which each of the SPAC, Company and Subject Party agrees constitutes adequate consideration for entering into this Agreement, and that SPAC and the Company would not have entered into the Merger Agreement or consummated the Transactions but for the Subject Party's agreements set forth in this Agreement; (iii) it would impair the goodwill of the Company and its Subsidiaries and reduce the value of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries and cause serious and irreparable injury if the Subject Party were to use his, her or its ability and knowledge by engaging in the Business in competition with a Covered Party, and/or to otherwise breach the obligations contained herein, and that the Covered Parties would not have an adequate remedy at law because of the unique nature of the Business, (iv) the Subject Party and its Affiliates have no intention of competing with the Business during the Restricted Period other than through Permitted Ownership, (v) the relevant public policy aspects of restrictive covenants, covenants not to compete and non-solicitation provisions have been discussed, and the Parties have sought to limit the restrictions placed upon the Subject Party to those that are reasonable and necessary to protect the Covered Parties' legitimate interests, (vi) the Covered Parties conduct and intend to conduct the Business in the Territory and compete with other businesses that are or could be located in any part of the Territory, (vii) the foregoing restrictions on competition are fair and reasonable in type of prohibited activity, geographic area covered, scope and duration, (viii) the consideration provided to the Subject Party under this Agreement and the Merger Agreement is not illusory, and (ix) such provisions do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interests of the Covered Parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2. No Solicitation; No Disparagement.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>No Solicitation of Employees and Consultants</u>. The Subject Party agrees that, during the Restricted Period, the Subject Party and his, her or its Affiliates will not, without the prior written consent of SPAC (which may be withheld in its sole discretion), either on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Person (other than, if applicable, a Covered Party in the performance of the Subject Party's duties on behalf of the Covered Parties), directly or indirectly: (i) hire or engage as an employee, independent contractor, consultant or otherwise any Covered Personnel (as defined below); (ii) solicit, induce, encourage or otherwise knowingly cause (or attempt to do any of the foregoing) any Covered Personnel to leave the service (whether as an employee, consultant or independent contractor) of any Covered Party; or (iii) in any way interfere with or attempt to interfere with the relationship between any Covered Personnel and any Covered Party; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, the Subject Party and his, her or its Affiliates will not be deemed to have violated this <u>Section 2(a)</u> if any Covered Personnel voluntarily and independently solicits an offer of employment from the Subject Party or his, her or its Affiliate (or other Person whom any of them is acting on behalf of) by responding to a general advertisement or solicitation program conducted by or on behalf of the Subject Party or his, her or its Affiliate (or such other Person whom any of them is acting on behalf of) that is not targeted at such Covered Personnel or Covered Personnel generally. For purposes of this Agreement, "***Covered Personnel***" shall mean any Person who is or was an employee, consultant or independent contractor of the Company, as of such date of the relevant act prohibited by this <u>Section 2(a)</u> or during the one (1) year period preceding such date.

The Subject Party agrees that, during the Restricted Period, the Subject Party and his, her or its Affiliates will not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of SPAC (which may be withheld in its sole discretion), individually or on behalf of any other Person (other than, if applicable, a Covered Party in the performance of the Subject Party's duties on behalf of the Covered Parties), directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, induce, encourage or otherwise knowingly cause (or attempt to do any of the foregoing) any Covered Customer (as defined below) to (A) cease being, or not become, a client or customer of the Company with respect to the Business or (B) reduce the amount of business of such Covered Customer with the Company, or otherwise alter such business relationship in a manner adverse to the Company, in either case, with respect to or relating to the Business; (ii) interfere with or disrupt (or attempt to interfere with or disrupt) the contractual relationship between the Company and any Covered Customer; (iii) divert any business with any Covered Customer relating to the Business from the Company; (iv) solicit for business, provide services to, engage in or do business with, any Covered Customer for products or services that are part of the Business; or (v) interfere with or disrupt (or attempt to interfere with or disrupt), any Person that was a vendor, supplier, distributor, agent or other service provider of the Company at the time of such interference or disruption, for a purpose competitive with a Covered Party as it relates to the Business. For purposes of this Agreement, a "***Covered Customer***" shall mean any Person who is or was an actual customer or client (or prospective customer or client with whom a Covered Party actively marketed or made or taken specific action to make a proposal) of the Company, as of such date hereof or during the one (1) year period preceding such date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Non-Disparagement</u>. The Subject Party agrees that from and after the Closing until the end of the Restricted Period, the Subject Party and its Affiliates will not, directly or indirectly engage in any conduct that involves the making or publishing (including through electronic mail distribution or online social media) of any written or oral statements or remarks (including the repetition or distribution of derogatory rumors, allegations, negative reports or comments) that are disparaging, deleterious or damaging to the integrity, reputation or good will of one or more Covered Parties or their respective management, officers, employees, independent contractors or consultants. Notwithstanding the foregoing or <u>Section 3</u> below, the provisions of this <u>Section 2(c)</u> and Section 3 below shall not restrict the Subject Party or its Affiliates from (i) reporting alleged violations of law to, communicating with, or otherwise participating in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by the SEC, the Department of Justice, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any other Governmental Authority, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Covered Parties, (ii) providing truthful testimony or information in response to a subpoena or a request for information from a Governmental Authority, or (iii) providing truthful testimony or information in connection with any legal action by the Subject Party or its Affiliate against any Covered Party under this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any other Ancillary Document that is asserted by the Subject Party or its Affiliate in good faith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3. Confidentiality.** From and after the Closing Date until the end of the Restricted Period, subject to Section 2(c) above, the Subject Party will, and will cause his, her or its Representatives to, keep confidential and not (except, if applicable, in the performance of the Subject Party's duties on behalf of the Covered Parties) directly or indirectly use, disclose, reveal, publish, transfer or provide access to, any and all Covered Party Information without the prior written consent of SPAC (which may be withheld in its sole discretion).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4. Representations and Warranties.** The Subject Party hereby represents and warrants, to and for the benefit of the Covered Parties as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, that: (a) the Subject Party has full power and capacity to execute and deliver, and to perform all of the Subject Party's obligations under, this Agreement; and (b) neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the performance of the Subject Party's obligations hereunder will result directly or indirectly in a violation or breach of any agreement or obligation by which the Subject Party is a party or otherwise bound.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5. Remedies.** The covenants and undertakings of the Subject Party contained in this Agreement relate to matters which are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a violation of any of the terms of this Agreement may cause irreparable injury to the Covered Parties, the amount of which may be impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated.

The Subject Party hereby consents to the award of any of the above remedies to the applicable Covered Party in connection with any such breach or threatened breach. The Subject Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any breach of this Agreement, any value attributed or allocated to this Agreement (or any other non-competition agreement with the Subject Party) under or in connection with the Merger Agreement shall not be considered a measure of, or a limit on, the damages of the Covered Parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6. Survival of Obligations.** The expiration of the Restricted Period will not relieve the Subject Party of any obligation or liability arising from any breach by the Subject Party of this Agreement during the Restricted Period. The Subject Party further agrees that the time period during which the covenants contained in <u>Section 1</u> and <u>Section 2</u> of this Agreement will be effective will be computed by excluding from such computation any time during which the Subject Party is in violation of any provision of such Sections.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Integration and Non-Exclusivity</u>. This Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the other Ancillary Documents contain the entire agreement between the Subject Party and the Covered Parties concerning the subject matter hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights and remedies of the Covered Parties under this Agreement are not exclusive of or limited by any other rights or remedies which they may have, whether at law, in equity, by contract or otherwise, all of which will be cumulative (and not alternative). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the rights and remedies of the Covered Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Subject Party and his, her or its Affiliates, under this Agreement, are in addition to their respective rights, remedies, obligations and liabilities (i) under the laws of unfair competition, misappropriation of trade secrets, or other requirements of statutory or common law, or any applicable rules and regulations and (ii) otherwise conferred by contract, including the Merger Agreement and any other written agreement between the Subject Party or his, her or its Affiliate and any of the Covered Parties. Nothing in the Merger Agreement will limit any of the obligations, liabilities, rights or remedies of the Subject Party or the Covered Parties under this Agreement, nor will any breach of the Merger Agreement or any other agreement between the Subject Party or his, her or its Affiliate and any of the Covered Parties limit or otherwise affect any right or remedy of the Covered Parties under this Agreement. If any term or condition of any other agreement between the Subject Party or his, her or its Affiliate and any of the Covered Parties conflicts or is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the more restrictive terms will control as to the Subject Party or his, her or its Affiliate, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Severability; Reformation</u>. Each provision of this Agreement is separable from every other provision of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is found or held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, by a court of competent jurisdiction, then (i) such provision will be deemed amended to conform to applicable laws so as to be valid, legal and enforceable to the fullest possible extent, (ii) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of such provision will not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision under any other circumstances or in any other jurisdiction, and (iii) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of such provision will not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of such provision or the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. The Subject Party and the Covered 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. Without limiting the foregoing, if any court of competent jurisdiction determines that any part hereof is unenforceable because of the duration, geographic area covered, scope of such provision, or otherwise, such court will have the power to reduce the duration, geographic area covered or scope of such provision, as the case may be, and, in its reduced form, such provision will then be enforceable. The Subject Party will, at a Covered Party's reasonable request, join such Covered Party in requesting that such court take such action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Amendment; Waiver</u>. Subject to Section 7(c) above, this Agreement may not be amended or modified in any respect, except by a written agreement executed by the Subject Party, SPAC Representative and SPAC (or their respective permitted successors or assigns). No waiver will be effective unless it is expressly set forth in a written instrument executed by the waiving party (and if such waiving party is a Covered Party, SPAC Representative) and any such waiver will have no effect except in the specific instance in which it is given. Any delay or omission by a party in exercising its rights under this Agreement, or failure to insist upon strict compliance with any term, covenant, or condition of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of such term, covenant, condition or right, nor will any waiver or relinquishment of any right or power under this Agreement at any time or times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of such right or power at any other time or times.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Governing Law; Jurisdiction</u>. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof. All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any state or federal court located in the County of New Castle, Delaware (or in any appellate courts thereof) (the "***Specified Courts***"). Each party hereto hereby (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Specified Court for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto, (b) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by any Specified Court and (c) waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. Each party agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law or in equity. Each party irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other action or proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such party at the applicable address set forth in <u>Section 7(a)</u>. Nothing in this <u>Section 7(e)</u> shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL</u>. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS <u>SECTION 7(F)</u>. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS <u>SECTION 7(F)</u> WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries</u>. This Agreement will be binding upon the Subject Party and the Subject Party's estate, successors and assigns, and will inure to the benefit of the Covered Parties, and their respective successors and assigns. Each Covered Party may freely assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement, at any time, in whole or in part, to any Person which acquires, in one or more transactions, at least a majority of the equity securities (whether by equity sale, merger or otherwise) of such Covered Party or all or substantially all of the assets of such Covered Party and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, without obtaining the consent or approval of the Subject Party. The Subject Party agrees that the obligations of the Subject Party under this Agreement are personal and will not be assigned by the Subject Party. Each of the Covered Parties is an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement and will be considered parties under and for purposes of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) <u>SPAC Representative Authorized to Act on Behalf of Covered Parties</u>. The parties acknowledge and agree that from and after the Closing SPAC Representative is authorized and shall have the sole right to act on behalf of SPAC and the other Covered Parties under this Agreement, including the right to enforce the SPAC's and the other Covered Parties' rights and remedies under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that the Subject Party serves as a director, officer, employee or other authorized agent of a Covered Party, the Subject Party shall have no authority, express or implied, to act or make any determination on behalf of a Covered Party in connection with this Agreement or any dispute or Action with respect hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Construction</u>. The Subject Party acknowledges that the Subject Party has been represented by Counsel, or had the opportunity to be represented by, counsel of the Subject Party's choice. Any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party will not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. Neither the drafting history nor the negotiating history of this Agreement will be used or referred to in connection with the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. The headings and subheadings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. In this Agreement: (i) the words "include," "includes" and "including" when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words "without limitation"; (ii) the definitions contained herein are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms; (iii) whenever required by the context, any pronoun 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; (iv) 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; (v) the word "if" and other words of similar import when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the phrase "and only if"; (vi) the term "or" means "and/or"; and (vii) any agreement or instrument defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement or instrument as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including by waiver or consent and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) <u>Counterparts</u>. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. A photocopy, faxed, scanned and/or emailed copy of this Agreement or any signature page to this Agreement, shall have the same validity and enforceability as an originally signed copy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) <u>Effectiveness</u>. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Subject Party upon the Subject Party's execution and delivery of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall only become effective upon the consummation of the Closing. In the event that the Merger Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the consummation of the Transactions, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and become null and void, and the parties shall have no obligations hereunder, otherwise, this Agreement shall terminate at the end of the Restricted Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.1 <u>Filing</u>. The Company shall, subject to <u>Section **‎**3.4</u>, submit or file within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-1 (the "***Form S-1 Shelf***") or, if the Company is eligible to use a Registration Statement on Form S-3, a Shelf Registration on Form S-3 (the "***Form S-3 Shelf***", and together with the Form S-1 Shelf, each a "**Shelf**"), in each case, covering the resale of all Registrable Securities on a delayed or continuous basis and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Shelf declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (a) the ninetieth (90<sup>th</sup>) calendar day following the filing date thereof if the Commission notifies the Company that it will "review" the Registration Statement and (b) the fifth (5<sup>th</sup>) business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be "reviewed" or will not be subject to further review. Such Shelf shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as a result of the application of Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any written or oral guidance, comments, requirements or requests of the staff of the Commission (collectively, "***SEC Guidance***"), the Commission requires that the number of Registrable Securities included on any Registration Statement be reduced, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate for the registration of as many Registrable Securities as permitted, and, to the extent a reduction is required notwithstanding such efforts, the number of Registrable Securities included shall be reduced on a pro rata basis among the Holders based on the number of Registrable Securities then held by such Holders, and the Company shall not be deemed in breach of this Agreement for failing to register all Registrable Securities in such circumstances

Subject to <u>Sections **‎**2.1.3</u> and **<u>‎</u>**<u>3.4</u>, the Company shall maintain a Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a Shelf continuously effective, available for use to permit the Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities; provided that the Company's obligations hereunder to a Holder are conditioned upon such Holder's timely furnishing to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the intended method of disposition as the Company may reasonably request and that is required for use in connection with the Shelf. In the event the Company files a Form S-1 Shelf, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration) to a Form S-3 Shelf as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.2 <u>Subsequent Shelf Registration</u>. If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities are still outstanding, the Company shall, subject to <u>Section **‎**3.4</u>, use its commercially reasonable efforts to, as promptly as is reasonably practicable, cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including using its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, as promptly as is reasonably practicable, amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional registration statement as a Shelf Registration (a "***Subsequent Shelf Registration***") registering the resale of all Registrable Securities under such Shelf (determined as of two (2) business days prior to such filing and, with respect to any securities issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of other securities, solely to the extent inclusion of such underlying securities is then permitted by the Commission and any applicable Commission guidance), and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein, in each case subject to applicable law and the Company's reasonable approval of the plan of distribution; provided that nothing herein shall require the Company to include an "at-the-market" offering absent the Company's consent. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) if the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) at the most recent applicable eligibility determination date) and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective, available for use to permit the Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities; provided that the Company's obligations hereunder to a Holder are conditioned upon such Holder's timely furnishing to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the intended method of disposition as the Company may reasonably request and that is required for use in connection with such registration, and the Company may exclude any Holder that fails to provide such information without being in breach hereof. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on another appropriate form. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as a result of SEC Guidance, the Commission requires that the number of Registrable Securities included on any Registration Statement be reduced, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate for the registration of as many Registrable Securities as permitted and, to the extent a reduction is required notwithstanding such efforts, the number of Registrable Securities included shall be reduced on a pro rata basis among the Holders based on the number of Registrable Securities then held by such Holders, and the Company shall not be deemed in breach of this Agreement for failing to register all Registrable Securities in such circumstances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.3 <u>New Registrable Securities</u>. Subject to <u>Section **‎**3.4</u>, in the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, the Company shall, upon the written request of such Holder, promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at the Company's option, any then-available Shelf (including by means of a post-effective amendment) or a Subsequent Shelf Registration and cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be subject to the terms hereof; *provided, however*, that the Company shall only be required to cause such Registrable Securities to be so covered twice per calendar year for each of (i) the Sponsor Holders, collectively, (ii) the Teamshares Holders, collectively, (iii) the PIPE Holders, collectively, and (iv) the Other Holders, collectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.4 <u>Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns</u>. Subject to <u>Section **‎**3.4</u>, at any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission, any Holder (a "***Demanding Holder***") may request to sell all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering or other coordinated offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf (each, an "***Underwritten Shelf Takedown***"); *provided* that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering shall include Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Demanding Holder, either individually or together with other Demanding Holders, with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $30 million (the "***Minimum Takedown Threshold***"). All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Subject to <u>Section **‎**2.4.4</u>, the Company shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks), subject to the initial Demanding Holder's prior approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Subject to <u>Section **‎**2.4.6</u>, each of (i) the Sponsor Holders, collectively, (ii) the Teamshares Holders, collectively, (iii) the PIPE Holders, and (iv) the Other Holders, collectively, may demand Underwritten Shelf Takedowns pursuant to this <u>Section **‎**2.1.4</u> (x) not more than two (2) times in any 12-month period (the "***Yearly Limit***"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may effect any Underwritten Offering pursuant to any then-effective Registration Statement, including a Form S-3, that is then available for such offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.5 <u>Reduction of Underwritten Offering</u>. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith, advises the Company, the Demanding Holders and the Holders requesting piggy back rights pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (the "***Requesting Holders***") (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and all other shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, that have been requested to be sold in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the "***Maximum Number of Securities***"), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, before including any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities proposed to be sold by Company or by other holders of Common Stock or other equity securities, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) (*pro rata*, as nearly as practicable, based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder and Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders (if any) have requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities. To facilitate the allocation of Registrable Securities in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the Underwriters may round the number of Registrable Securities allocated to any Holder to the nearest multiple of ten (10).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.6 <u>Underwritten Shelf Takedown Withdrawal</u>. Prior to the filing of the applicable "red herring" prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, a majority in interest of the Demanding Holders initiating an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall have the right to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification (a "***Withdrawal Notice***") to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown; *provided* that any other Demanding Holder(s) may elect to have the Company continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if the Minimum Takedown Threshold would still be satisfied by the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown by the Demanding Holder(s). If withdrawn, a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall constitute a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown by the withdrawing Demanding Holder for purposes of <u>Section **‎**2.1.4</u> and shall count toward the Yearly Limit, unless either (i) the Demanding Holder(s) making the withdrawal has not previously withdrawn any Underwritten Shelf Takedown or (ii) the Demanding Holder(s) making the withdrawal reimburses the Company for all Registration Expenses with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (or, if there is more than one Demanding Holder, a *pro rata* portion of such Registration Expenses based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown); <u>provided</u> that, if any other Demanding Holder(s) elects to continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, such Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall instead count as an Underwritten Shelf Takedown demanded by such Demanding Holder(s) for purposes of <u>Section **‎**2.1.4</u> and shall count toward the Yearly Limit. Following the receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, the Company shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Requesting Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Shelf Takedown prior to its withdrawal under this <u>Section **‎**2.1.6</u>, other than if a Demanding Holder elects to pay such Registration Expenses pursuant to <u>clause (ii)</u> of the second sentence of this <u>Section **‎**2.1.6</u>.

Any Holder of Registrable Securities (other than a Demanding Holder, whose right to withdraw from an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, and related obligations, shall be governed by <u>Section **‎**2.1.6</u>) shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration or, in the case of a Piggyback Registration pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the filing of the applicable "red herring" prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect to such Piggyback Registration used for marketing such transaction. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by Persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (other than <u>Section **‎**2.1.6</u>), the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this <u>Section **‎**2.2.3</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.4 <u>Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights</u>. For purposes of clarity, subject to <u>Section **‎**2.1.6</u>, any Piggyback Registration effected pursuant to <u>Section **‎**2.2</u> shall not be counted as a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown under <u>Section **‎**2.1.4</u> and shall not count toward the Yearly Limit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3 <u>Market Stand-off</u>. In connection with any Underwritten Offering of equity securities of the Company (other than a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering), if requested by the managing Underwriter, each Holder that is an executive officer or director of the Company or a Holder in excess of 5.0% of the then-outstanding Common Stock agrees that it shall not Transfer any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company (other than those included in such offering pursuant to this Agreement), without the prior written consent of the Company, during the 90-day period (or such shorter time agreed to by the managing Underwriters) beginning on the date of pricing of such offering (the "***Underwritten Lock-Up Period***"), except (i) to Permitted Transferees, (ii) as expressly permitted by the lock-up agreement executed in connection with such Underwritten Offering or (iii) in the event the Underwriters managing the offering otherwise consent in writing. Each Holder agrees to execute a customary lock-up agreement in favor of the Underwriters to such effect (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all other Holders). The Company will not be obligated to undertake an Underwritten Shelf Takedown during any Underwritten Lock-Up Period binding on the Holders, nor will the Company be obligated to include in any Piggyback Registration any Registrable Securities that are then subject to a "lock-up" agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4 <u>Block Trades; Other Coordinated Offerings</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4.1 Notwithstanding any other provision of this <u>Article II</u>, but subject to <u>Section **‎**3.4</u>, at any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission, if a Demanding Holder wishes to engage in (a) an underwritten registered offering not involving a "roadshow," an offer commonly known as a "block trade" (a "***Block Trade***") or (b) an "at the market" or similar registered offering through a broker, sales agent or distribution agent, whether as agent or principal, (an "***Other Coordinated Offering***"), in each case, either (x) with an anticipated aggregate offering price reasonably expected to be at least $30 million or (y) with respect to all remaining Registrable Securities held by the Demanding Holder, then such Demanding Holder only needs to notify the Company of the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering at least five (5) Business Days prior to the day such offering is to commence and the Company shall as expeditiously as possible use its commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering; *provided* that the Demanding Holders representing a majority of the Registrable Securities wishing to engage in the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Company and any Underwriters, brokers, sales agents or placement agents prior to making such request in order to facilitate preparation of the registration statement, prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4.2 Prior to the filing of the applicable "red herring" prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall have the right to submit a Withdrawal Notice to the Company, the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) and any brokers, sale agents or placement agents (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering prior to its withdrawal under this <u>Section **‎**2.4.2</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, <u>Section **‎**2.2</u> shall not apply to a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering initiated by a Demanding Holder pursuant to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4.4 The Demanding Holder in a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall have the right to select the Underwriters and any brokers, sale agents or placement agents (if any) for such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering (in each case, which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4.5 Subject to <u>Section **‎**2.4.6</u>, each of (i) the Sponsor Holders, as a group, (ii) the Teamshares Holders, as a group, (iii) the PIPE Holders, as a group, and (iv) the Other Holders, as a group, may demand no more than two (2) Block Trades or Other Coordinated Offerings pursuant to this <u>Section **‎**2.4</u> in any twelve (12) month period. For the avoidance of doubt, any Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering effected pursuant to this <u>Section **‎**2.4</u> shall not be counted as a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to <u>Section **‎**2.1.4</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4.6 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to (i) the Sponsor Holders, as a group, (ii) the Teamshares Holders, as a group, or (iii) the Other Holders, as a group, in no event may the number of Block Trades or Other Coordinated Offerings demanded pursuant to this <u>Section **‎**2.4</u> plus the number of Underwritten Shelf Takedowns demanded pursuant to <u>Section **‎**2.1.4</u> exceed a total of three (3) demands for such group in any twelve (12) month period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5 <u>Legends</u>. In connection with any sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities by a Holder pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission) and upon compliance by the Holder with the requirements of this <u>Section **‎**2.5</u>, if requested by the Holder, the Company shall cause the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities (the "***Transfer Agent***") to remove any restrictive legends related to the book entry account holding such Registrable Securities and make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry shares sold or disposed of without restrictive legends within one (1) trading day of any such request therefor from the Holder; provided that the Company and the Transfer Agent have timely received from the Holder customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith. Subject to receipt from the Holder by the Company and the Transfer Agent of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith, the Holder may request that the Company remove any legend from the book entry position evidencing its Registrable Securities and the Company will, if required by the Transfer Agent, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause an opinion of the Company's counsel be provided, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Transfer Agent, to the effect that the removal of such restrictive legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act, following the earliest of such time as such Registrable Securities (i) are subject to or have been or are about to be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or (ii) have been or are about to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission). If restrictive legends are no longer required for such Registrable Securities pursuant to the foregoing, the Company shall, in accordance with the provisions of this section and within one (1) trading day of any request therefor from the Holder accompanied by such customary and reasonably acceptable representations and other documentation referred to above establishing that restrictive legends are no longer required, deliver to the Transfer Agent irrevocable instructions that the Transfer Agent shall make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry shares. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its Transfer Agent, its legal counsel and all DTC fees associated with such issuance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1.4 prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may request (or provide evidence satisfactory to such Holders that the Registrable Securities are exempt from such registration or qualification) and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; *provided, however*, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify or take any action to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise so subject;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1.5 cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1.12 in the event of an Underwritten Offering, a Block Trade, an Other Coordinated Offering or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent pursuant to a Registration Statement, on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion and negative assurance letter, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the participating Holders, the broker, placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the participating Holders, broker, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters, provided, in each case, that such participating Holders provide such information to such counsel as is customarily required for, or is reasonably requested by such counsel for purposes of, such opinion or negative assurance letter;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1.13 in the event of any Underwritten Offering, a Block Trade, an Other Coordinated Offering or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent pursuant to a Registration Statement, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, purchase agreement, sales agreement or placement agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter or broker, sales agent or placement agent of such offering or sale;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1.15 with respect to an Underwritten Offering pursuant to <u>Section **‎**2.1.4</u>, use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary "road show" presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in such Underwritten Offering; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1.16 otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders participating in such Registration, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in connection with such Registration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to provide any documents or information to an Underwriter or other sales agent or placement agent if such Underwriter or other sales agent or placement agent has not then been named with respect to the applicable Underwritten Offering or other offering involving a registration as an Underwriter or broker, sales agent or placement agent, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2 <u>Registration Expenses</u>. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters' or agents' commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of "Registration Expenses," all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3 <u>Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings</u>. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested by the Company, or the managing Underwriter or placement agent or sales agent, if any, in connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement or Prospectus, including amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to ‎<u>Article II</u> and in connection with the Company's obligation to comply with federal and applicable state securities Laws. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Holder does not timely provide the Company with its requested Holder Information, the Company may exclude such Holder's Registrable Securities from the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus if the Company determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such information is necessary to effect the registration and such Holder continues thereafter to withhold such information. No Person may participate in any Underwritten Offering or other coordinated offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person's securities on the basis provided in any arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) timely completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting or other agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such arrangements. The exclusion of a Holder's Registrable Securities as a result of this <u>Section ‎3.3</u> shall not affect the registration of the other Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4 <u>Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure; Restrictions on Registration Rights</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4.1 Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until he, she or it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until he, she or it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4.2 If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would (i) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, (ii) require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company's control or (iii) in the good faith judgment of the majority of the Board, be seriously detrimental to the Company, and the majority of the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer such filing, initial effectiveness or continued use at such time, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders (which notice shall not specify the nature of the event giving rise to such delay or suspension), delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under this <u>Section **‎**3.4.2</u>, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities until such Holder receives written notice from the Company that such sales or offers of Registrable Securities may be resumed, and in each case maintain the confidentiality of such notice and its contents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4.3 Subject to <u>Section **‎**3.4.4</u>, if (i) during the period starting with the date 60 days prior to the Company's good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date 120 days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated Registration, and provided that the Company continues to actively employ, in good faith, all commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the applicable Shelf Registration, or (ii) if, pursuant to <u>Section **‎**2.1.4</u>, Holders have requested an Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the Company and such Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite such offering, then, in each case, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay any other registered offering pursuant to <u>Section **‎**2.1.4</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4.4 The right to delay or suspend any filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement pursuant to <u>Section **‎**3.4.2</u> or a registered offering pursuant to <u>Section **‎**3.4.3</u> shall be exercised by the Company, in the aggregate, for not more than 60 consecutive calendar days or more 90 total calendar days in each case, during any 12-month period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5 <u>Reporting Obligations</u>. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to use commercially reasonable efforts to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6 <u>Opt-Out Notices</u>. Any Holder may deliver written notice (an "***Opt-Out Notice***") to the Company requesting that such Holder not receive any notice from the Company otherwise required by this Agreement regarding the proposed filing or withdrawal of any Shelf or Piggyback Registration, or the occurrence of any suspension event under <u>Section 3.4</u>; provided that such Holder may later revoke any Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice, the Company shall not deliver any such notices to the applicable Holder until such revocation.

**Article IV<br> INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1 <u>Indemnification</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors, agents and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys' fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto filed pursuant to this Agreement or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (the "***Holder Information***") and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors, officers and agents and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys' fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement is contained in (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; *provided, however*, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person or entity who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1.3 Any Person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (*provided* that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person's right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus one local counsel if necessary in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company's or such Holder's indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under <u>Section **‎**4.1</u> from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party's and indemnified party's relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; *provided, however*, that the liability of any Holder under this <u>Section **‎**4.1.5</u> shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in <u>Sections **‎**4.1.1</u>, **<u>‎</u>**<u>4.1.2</u> and **<u>‎</u>**<u>4.1.3</u>, any legal or other fees, charges or out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this <u>Section **‎**4.1.5</u> were determined by *pro rata* allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this <u>Section **‎**4.1.5</u>. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this <u>Section **‎**4.1.5</u> from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2 <u>Waiver of Medallion Guaranty</u>. The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into that certain indemnification agreement, substantially in the form attached as <u>Exhibit B</u> to this Agreement, in favor of Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (or any successor transfer agent or warrant agent of the Company) in connection with the waiver of any requirement to provide a medallion guarantee in connection with any Transfer of any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company by any Sponsor Holder, PIPE Holder, or any of their Permitted Transferees; provided that, in each case, as a prerequisite to the Company's entry into such indemnification agreement, such Sponsor Holder or Permitted Transferee enters into an indemnification agreement in favor of the Company.

Any transfer or assignment made other than as provided in this <u>Section **‎**5.2</u> shall be null and void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.3 <u>Counterparts</u>. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by e-mail) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.4 <u>Governing Law</u>. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of Laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.5 <u>Jurisdiction</u>. Any Legal Proceeding based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby must be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, to the extent such court does not have jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware), and each of the parties irrevocably (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Legal Proceeding, (ii) waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, (iii) agrees that all claims in respect of the Legal Proceeding shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and (iv) agrees not to bring any Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any party to serve process in any manner permitted by Law or to commence Legal Proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other party in any other jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any Legal Proceeding, suit or proceeding brought pursuant to this <u>Section **‎**5.5</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.6 <u>Waiver of Jury Trial</u>. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY, UNCONDITIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.7 <u>Amendments and Modifications</u>. Upon the written consent of the Company and the Holders of at least a majority in interest of the aggregate Registrable Securities at the time in question, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely effects the Sponsor Holders shall also require the written consent of the Sponsor Majority Holders so long as the Sponsor Holders and their respective affiliates hold, in the aggregate, at least one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company; and <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of the shares of capital stock of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Holder so affected. No course of dealing between any Holder or the Company and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of a Holder or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Holder or the Company. No single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.8 <u>Other Registration Rights</u>. Other than as provided in the Warrant Agreement, dated as of April 24, 2025, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, no Person, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities, has any right to require the Company to register any securities of the Company for sale or to include such securities of the Company in any Registration Statement filed by the Company for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other Person. For so long as the Sponsor Holders and their respective Affiliates collectively hold at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, the Company will not grant registration rights that are senior to, or materially more favorable than, the rights granted to the Holders under this Agreement in a manner that is materially adverse to the Holders ("***Competing Registration Rights***") with respect to (i) priority in any cutback in an Underwritten Offering or (ii) the number of demand registrations or underwritten shelf takedowns, in each case without the prior written consent of the Sponsor Majority Holders (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided that the foregoing shall not restrict the Company from (A) granting pari passu registration rights (including pro rata cutbacks), (B) granting customary rights in connection with bona fide financing transactions or employee and director equity compensation plans, or (C) entering into registration rights that are not materially adverse to the Holders. In the event the Company grants any Competing Registration Rights, the Company may, in lieu of obtaining such consent, elect to offer the Holders substantially equivalent terms with respect to the matters described in clauses (i) and (ii) above. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement is not intended to supersede any existing registration rights to which the Company is a party as of the date hereof, except in the case of an irreconcilable conflict, in which case the terms of this Agreement shall prevail as between the parties hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.9 <u>Term</u>. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the tenth anniversary of the date of this Agreement and (ii) with respect to any Holder, the date that such Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities. The provisions of ‎<u>Article IV</u> shall survive any termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.10 <u>Holder Information</u>. Each Holder agrees, if requested in writing, to represent to the Company its legal name and the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Holder in order for the Company to make determinations hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.11 <u>Additional Holders; Joinder</u>. In addition to Persons who may become Holders pursuant to <u>Section **‎**5.2</u>, subject to the prior written consent of at least a majority in interest of the aggregate Registrable Securities at the time in question, the Company may make any Person who acquires Common Stock or rights to acquire Common Stock after the date hereof a party to this Agreement (each such Person, an "***Additional Holder***") by obtaining an executed joinder to this Agreement from such Additional Holder in the form of <u>Exhibit A</u> attached hereto (a "***Joinder***"). Such Joinder shall specify the rights and obligations of the applicable Additional Holder under this Agreement. Upon the execution and delivery and subject to the terms of a Joinder by such Additional Holder, the Common Stock of the Company then owned, or underlying any rights then owned, by such Additional Holder (the "***Additional Holder Common Stock***") shall be Registrable Securities to the extent provided herein and therein, and such Additional Holder shall be a Holder under this Agreement with respect to such Additional Holder Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.12 <u>Severability</u>. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.13 <u>Entire Agreement; Restatement</u>. This Agreement and the documents or instruments referred to herein, including any exhibits and schedules attached hereto, which exhibits and schedules are incorporated herein by reference, embody the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises, representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings, other than those expressly set forth or referred to herein or the documents or instruments referred to herein, which collectively supersede all prior agreements and the understandings among the parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein. Upon the Closing, the Original RRA shall no longer be of any force or effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.14 <u>Adjustments</u>. If, and as often as, there are any changes in the Registrable Securities by way of stock split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, reorganization or similar transaction, appropriate adjustment shall be made to this Agreement so that the rights, privileges, duties and obligations hereunder shall continue with respect to the Registrable Securities as so changed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Effectiveness</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Amendment shall become effective upon the Closing.

This SPONSOR LETTER AGREEMENT (this "<u>Agreement</u>") is made and entered into as of November 14, 2025, by and among Live Oak Acquisition Corp. V, a Cayman Islands exempted company ("<u>SPAC</u>"), Teamshares Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "<u>Company</u>") and Live Oak Sponsor V, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "<u>Sponsor</u>"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of the date of this Agreement (as may be amended, modified, supplemented and/or restated from time to time, the "<u>Merger Agreement</u>") by and among SPAC, Catalyst Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of SPAC ("<u>Merger Sub</u>"), Catalyst Sub 2 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of SPAC ("<u>Merger Sub II</u>" and together with Merger Sub, the "<u>Merger Subs</u>") and the Company.

WHEREAS, Sponsor owns 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of SPAC (the "<u>Class B Ordinary Shares</u>", and together with any Class A Ordinary Shares (as defined below) issued upon conversion of such shares, the "<u>Founder Shares</u>");

WHEREAS, in connection with SPAC's initial public offering, SPAC, Sponsor and certain officers and directors of SPAC (collectively, the "<u>Insiders</u>") entered into a letter agreement, dated as of February 27, 2025 (as may be amended from time to time, the "<u>Insider Letter</u>"), pursuant to which Sponsor and the Insiders agreed to certain voting requirements, transfer restrictions and waiver of redemption rights with respect to the SPAC securities owned by them;

WHEREAS, Sections 17.3 and 17.4 of SPAC's Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the "<u>SPAC Articles</u>") provides, among other matters, that the Class B Ordinary Shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of SPAC upon the consummation of an initial business combination, subject to adjustment if additional Class A ordinary shares (together with any successor equity security thereto in the Transactions (as defined below), "<u>Class A Ordinary Shares</u>") or Equity-linked Securities (as defined in the SPAC Articles), are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in SPAC's initial public offering (the "<u>Anti-Dilution Right</u>"), excluding certain exempted issuances;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, SPAC, Merger Subs and the Company are entering into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which, upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (the "<u>Closing</u>"), among other matters, (i) Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the "<u>First Merger</u>"), with the Company surviving such merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPAC (the "<u>Surviving Corporation</u>") and (ii) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Merger Sub II upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the "<u>Transactions</u>"); and

WHEREAS, as a condition and inducement to the Company's willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Company has required that Sponsor enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

**Section 1**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1. **<u>Waiver of Anti-Dilution Protection</u>.** Subject to the Closing, Sponsor, as the holder of a majority of the issued and outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares, solely in connection with and only for the purpose of the proposed Transactions, hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Anti-Dilution Right, and agrees that the Class B Ordinary Shares will convert only upon the Initial Conversion Ratio (as defined in the SPAC Articles) in connection with the Transactions. This waiver shall be void and of no force and effect following the date on which the Merger Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms. All other terms related to the Class B Ordinary Shares shall remain in full force and effect, except as modified as set forth directly above, which modification shall be effective only upon the consummation of the Transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.2. **Binding Effect of Merger Agreement; Certain Covenants**. Sponsor hereby acknowledges that it has read the Merger Agreement and this Agreement and has had the opportunity to consult with its legal and tax advisors. Sponsor shall be bound by, subject to and comply with Sections 5.6 (*No Solicitation*), 5.14 (*Public Announcements*) and 5.15 (*Confidential Information*) of the Merger Agreement (including any relevant definitions contained in such Sections) as if it were an original signatory thereto with respect to such provisions.

**Section 2 <u>Incentive Founder Shares</u>.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, utilize up to 1,150,000 Founder Shares (the "<u>Incentive Founder Shares</u>") (and shall provide prior written notice to the Company with respect to any such utilization) to incentivize potential investors, secure Trust Account non-redemption or backstop arrangements or otherwise provide support in connection with any Transaction Financing, upon terms to be mutually agreed by the Sponsor and any such investors (the "<u>Investors</u>"); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that any transfer of Incentive Founder Shares to the Investors must be permitted or receive any required approvals under the Insider Letter, including, without limitation, that, absent any agreement among the parties to the Insider Letter to the contrary, the Incentive Founder Shares shall continue to be subject to the restrictions set forth in the Insider Letter and any such Investors who have received Incentive Founder Shares shall have entered into written agreements to be bound by the restrictions therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Sponsor hereby agrees that (i) 50% of any Incentive Founder Shares that are not transferred to Investors as contemplated by <u>Section 2(a)</u> hereof (the "<u>Earnout Incentive Founder Shares</u>") shall be subject to the Earn-Out provisions set forth in <u>Section 3</u> and (ii) contingent upon and subject to the Closing, the Sponsor shall deliver, for no consideration, the remaining 50% of any such Incentive Founder Shares to SPAC for cancellation.

**Section 3 <u>Sponsor Earn-Out</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Sponsor hereby agrees that, upon and subject to the Closing, it will not (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, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership with respect to, or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii) with respect to, (x) 1,150,000 of the 5,750,000 Founder Shares owned by Sponsor and (y) the Earnout Incentive Founder Shares (together with any equity securities paid as dividends or distributions with respect to such Founder Shares and Earnout Incentive Founder Shares or into which such Founder Shares or Earnout Incentive Founder Shares are exchanged or converted, in either case, after the Closing, the "<u>Earn-Out Shares</u>"), unless, until and to the extent that a Release Event (as defined below) has occurred with respect to such Earn-Out Shares; provided, that Sponsor may, by providing notice to SPAC and the Company prior to or promptly after such transfer, transfer all or any portion of the Earn-Out Shares to any person or entity that qualifies as a permitted transferee under Section 8(c) the Insider Letter (each, a "<u>Permitted Transferee</u>"), so long as such Permitted Transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement that apply to Sponsor hereunder with respect to such Earn-Out Shares. In the event that a Release Event has not occurred during the Earnout Period with respect to all of the Earn-Out Shares, Sponsor hereby agrees to forfeit any of its Earn-Out Shares that have not been subject to a Release Event (a "<u>Sponsor Forfeiture</u>"). In order to effectuate a Sponsor Forfeiture in the event that a Release Event has not theretofore occurred with respect to all Earn-Out Shares, upon the expiration of the Earnout Period, Sponsor shall promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days, deliver its Earn-Out Shares that have not been subject to a Release Event to SPAC in certificated or book entry form (at the election of Sponsor) for cancellation by SPAC. The share certificates representing the Earn-Out Shares shall contain a legend relating to transfer restrictions imposed by this <u>Section 3</u> and the risk of a Sponsor Forfeiture associated with the Earn-Out Shares. SPAC will use its best efforts to cause such legend to be removed as promptly as practicable, but in any event within two (2) Business Days, after the written request by Sponsor following a Release Event with respect to such Earn-Out Shares. Until and unless the Earn-Out Shares are forfeited, Sponsor will have full ownership rights to the Earn-Out Shares, including the right to vote such shares and to receive dividends and distributions thereon.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Earn-Out Shares shall vest and no longer be subject to a Sponsor Forfeiture as follows (each, as applicable to the relevant Earn-Out Shares, a "<u>Release Event</u>"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Upon the achievement of the Tier I Share Price Target, 50% of the Earn-Out Shares will vest and no longer be subject to a Sponsor Forfeiture or the transfer restrictions in this <u>Section 2</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Upon the achievement of the Tier II Share Price Target, 50% of the Earn-Out Shares will vest and no longer be subject to a Sponsor Forfeiture or the transfer restrictions in this <u>Section 2</u>.

The achievement of the Tier II Share Price Target shall be deemed to include the achievement of the Tier I Share Price Target not previously achieved, and, in such case, the Earn-Out Shares attributable to each such Share Price Target shall vest together.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that during the Earnout Period, SPAC is subject to a Qualifying Change of Control, then, all of the Earn-Out Shares that have not previously vested shall vest and shall no longer be subject to a Sponsor Forfeiture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The applicable number of Earn-Out Shares released for each applicable Release Event shall be subject to equitable adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions affecting the SPAC Common Stock after the Closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Sponsor agrees not to commence, join in, facilitate, assist or encourage any claim or proceeding challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the Transactions, or alleging breach of fiduciary duty in connection therewith, and shall opt out of any related class action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Sponsor shall take all actions and do all things reasonably necessary under applicable law to consummate the Transactions on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Sponsor represents and covenants that it has not entered into, and will not enter into, any agreement that would restrict, limit or interfere with its performance hereunder.

**Section 4** <u>General</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Termination</u>. This Agreement shall terminate at such time, if any, as the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Closing, and upon such termination this Agreement shall be null and void and of no effect whatsoever, and the parties hereto shall have no obligations under this Agreement; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that no termination of this Agreement shall relieve or release a party from any obligations or liabilities arising out of such party's breaches of this Agreement prior to such termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Notices</u>.

The Closing shall occur on the date of, and immediately prior to or simultaneously with, the Transaction Closing, but after the Domestication.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Company shall provide written notice (which may be via email) to Subscriber (the "<u>Closing Notice</u>") that the Company reasonably expects the Transaction Closing to occur on a date specified in the Closing Notice (the "<u>Scheduled Closing Date</u>") that is not less than three (3) business days after the date of the Closing Notice, which Closing Notice shall contain the Company's wire instructions for an escrow account (the "<u>Escrow Account</u>") established by the Company with a third party escrow agent (the "<u>Escrow Agent</u>") to be identified in the Closing Notice. The failure of the Closing to occur on the Scheduled Closing Date shall not terminate this Subscription Agreement or otherwise relieve either party of any of its obligations hereunder. At least two (2) business days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, Subscriber shall deliver to the Escrow Account the aggregate Purchase Price for the Shares subscribed (the "<u>Aggregate Purchase Price</u>") by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds. The wire transfer shall identify Subscriber, and unless otherwise agreed by the Company, the funds shall be wired from an account in Subscriber's name. Upon the Closing, the Company shall provide instructions to the Escrow Agent to release the funds in the Escrow Account to the Company against delivery to Subscriber of the Shares, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those arising under state or federal securities laws or those incurred by Subscriber), in book-entry form as set forth in <u>Section 2(d)</u> below. If this Subscription Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing and any funds have already been sent by Subscriber to the Escrow Account, or the Closing Date does not occur within three (3) business days after the Scheduled Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, the Company shall or shall cause the Escrow Agent to promptly (but not later than five (5) business days after the Scheduled Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice), return the funds delivered by Subscriber for payment of the Shares by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by Subscriber (provided, that the failure of the Closing Date to occur within such three (3) business day period and the return of the relevant funds shall not relieve Subscriber from its obligations under this Subscription Agreement for a subsequently rescheduled Closing Date determined by the Company in good faith).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement, Subscriber shall deliver to the Company a duly completed and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or appropriate Form W-8.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Promptly after the Closing, the Company shall deliver (or cause the delivery of) the Shares to Subscriber (or its permitted assignee) in book-entry form with restrictive legends for the number of Shares as set forth on the signature page to Subscriber as indicated on the signature page or to a custodian designated by Subscriber, as applicable, as indicated below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3. <u>Closing Conditions</u>**. In addition to the condition set forth in Section 2(a) above:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Closing is also subject to the satisfaction or valid waiver by each party of the conditions that, on the Closing Date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) no suspension of the qualification of the Shares for offering or sale or trading in any jurisdiction, or initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes, shall have occurred and be continuing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) no governmental authority of competent jurisdiction with respect to the sale of the Shares shall have enacted, rendered, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any judgment, order, law, rule or regulation (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise restraining or prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) all material conditions precedent to the Transaction Closing set forth in the Merger Agreement shall have been satisfied (as determined in good faith by the parties to the Merger Agreement) or waived by the parties thereto in accordance with the requirements of the Merger Agreement (other than those conditions which, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Transaction Closing).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The obligations of the Company to consummate the Closing are also subject to the satisfaction or valid waiver by the Company of the additional conditions that, on the Closing Date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) all representations and warranties of Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect (as defined below), which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) at and as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties made as of a specific date, which shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) as of such date), and consummation of the Closing, shall constitute a reaffirmation by Subscriber of each of the representations, warranties and agreements of Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement as of the Closing Date; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Subscriber shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to the Closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The obligations of Subscriber to consummate the Closing are also subject to the satisfaction or valid waiver by Subscriber of the additional conditions that, on the Closing Date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) all representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) at and as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties made as of a specific date, which shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) as of such date), and consummation of the Closing, shall constitute a reaffirmation by the Company of each of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company contained in this Subscription Agreement as of the Closing Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to the Closing; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the Shares shall have been approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("<u>Nasdaq</u>") (or, at the election of the Company, the New York Stock Exchange ("<u>NYSE</u>")), subject to official notice of issuance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4. <u>Company Representations and Warranties</u>**. The Company represents and warrants to Subscriber that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) As of the date hereof, the Company is authorized to issue 555,000,000 shares, of which 500,000,000 shares are Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share ("<u>Class A Ordinary Shares</u>"), 50,000,000 shares are Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share ("<u>Class B Ordinary Shares</u>"), and 5,000,000 shares are preference shares, par value $0.0001 per share ("<u>Preferred Shares</u>"), each having the rights and preferences set forth in the Company's Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the "<u>Current Charter</u>") as in effect as of the date hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Assuming the accuracy of Subscriber's representations and warranties in <u>Section 5</u>, the execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions that are the subject of this Subscription Agreement (including the issuance and sale of the Shares) in compliance herewith will be done in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq (or the NYSE, as applicable) and none of the foregoing will result in (i) a material breach or material violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a material default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, license, lease or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject, which would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial condition, shareholders' equity or results of operations of the Company (a "<u>Material Adverse Effect</u>") or materially affect the validity of the Shares or the legal authority or ability of the Company to perform in all material respects its obligations under the terms of this Subscription Agreement; (ii) any material violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of the Company; or (iii) any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties that would have a Material Adverse Effect or materially affect the validity of the Shares or the legal authority or ability of the Company to perform in all material respects its obligations under the terms of this Subscription Agreement, subject, in the case of the foregoing clauses (i) and (iii) with respect to the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Company has not entered into any agreement or arrangement entitling any agent, broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other person to any broker's or finder's fee or any other commission or similar fee in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement for which Subscriber could become liable (it being understood that Subscriber will effectively bear its pro rata share of any such expense indirectly as a result of its investment in the Company). The Company is not aware of any person that has been or will be paid (directly or indirectly) remuneration for solicitation of purchasers in connection with the sale of any Common Shares in the Offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The Company is not, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Shares, will not be, an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Assuming the accuracy of Subscriber's representations and warranties set forth in <u>Section 5</u>, in connection with the offer, sale and delivery of the Shares in the manner contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, it is not necessary to register the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "<u>Securities Act</u>"). The Shares (i) were not offered to Subscriber by any form of general solicitation or general advertising, including methods described in Section 502(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) As of their respective dates, all reports (the "<u>SEC Reports</u>") filed or required to be filed by the Company with the SEC complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "<u>Exchange Act</u>"), and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed as of the time of the execution of this Subscription Agreement and at the time of the Transaction Closing, contained or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, year-end audit adjustments and the absence of complete footnotes. The Company has timely filed with the SEC each SEC Report that the Company was required to file with the SEC. A copy of each SEC Report is available to Subscriber via the SEC's EDGAR system.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Other than the Other Subscription Agreements and the Merger Agreement, the Company has not entered into any side letter or similar agreement with any subscriber to an Other Subscription Agreement (an "<u>Other Subscriber</u>") in connection with such Other Subscriber's investment in the Company. No Other Subscription Agreement includes terms and conditions that are materially more advantageous to any such Other Subscriber than Subscriber hereunder. The Other Subscription Agreements have not been amended in any material respect following the date of this Subscription Agreement and reflect the same Purchase Price and terms that are no more favorable to any such Other Subscriber thereunder than the terms of this Subscription Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) Except for such matters as have not had and would not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, as of the date hereof, there is no (i) action, suit, claim or other proceeding by or before any governmental or other regulatory or self-regulatory agency, entity or body with authority or jurisdiction over the Company, pending, or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing against the Company, or (ii) judgment, decree, injunction, ruling or order of any governmental entity or arbitrator outstanding against the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) As of the date hereof, the Company's Class A Ordinary Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on Nasdaq. As of the date hereof, there is no suit, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing against the Company by Nasdaq or the SEC (and the Company has not received any written notification of any intention by Nasdaq or the SEC) to deregister such shares or prohibit or terminate the listing of the Class A Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq. Other than as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Company has taken no action intended to result in, or that would reasonably be expected to result in, the termination of the registration of such shares under the Exchange Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription Agreement, including the issuance of the Shares (other than (i) filings with the SEC, (ii) filings required by applicable state securities laws, (iii) the filings required in accordance with Section 6, (iv) those required by the Nasdaq (or if applicable, NYSE), including with respect to obtaining approval of the Company's shareholders, (v) filings pursuant to applicable antitrust laws, and (vi) consents or other approvals, waivers or authorizations required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement that the Company reasonably expects to receive on or prior to the Closing), in each case the failure of which to obtain would not be reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the issuance and sale of the Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) The Company understands that the foregoing representations and warranties shall be deemed material to and have been relied upon by Subscriber.

Subscriber is not relying on any statements or representations made in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby other than the representations contained in this Subscription Agreement. Subscriber understands and agrees that securities sold pursuant to Regulation S may be subject to restrictions thereunder, including compliance with the distribution compliance period provisions therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Subscriber understands that the Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Shares delivered at the Closing will not have been registered under the Securities Act.

Subscriber further acknowledges that there have been no representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made to Subscriber by the Company, the Target or any of their respective officers or directors or other Representatives, expressly (other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company included in this Subscription Agreement) or by implication. Except for the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company expressly set forth in this Subscription Agreement, Subscriber is relying exclusively on its own sources of information, investment analysis and due diligence (including professional advice it deems appropriate) with respect to the Transaction, the Shares and the business, condition (financial and otherwise), management, operations, properties and prospects of the Company and Target, including all business, legal, regulatory, accounting, credit and tax matters.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Subscriber's acquisition and holding of the Shares will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("<u>ERISA</u>"), Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "<u>Code</u>"), or any applicable similar law.

Subscriber has conducted its own investigation of the Company, Target and the Shares and Subscriber has made its own assessment and has satisfied itself concerning the relevant tax and other economic considerations relevant to its investment in the Shares. Subscriber acknowledges that Subscriber shall be responsible for any of Subscriber's tax liabilities that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, and that none of the Company, the Target or their respective affiliates or advisors have provided any tax advice or any other representations or guarantee regarding the tax consequence of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Subscriber acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Shares, including those set forth in the Disclosure Documents and the SEC Reports. Subscriber is able to fend for itself in the transactions contemplated herein and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, and Subscriber has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as Subscriber has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision.

Except for the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company or Target expressly set forth in any purchase agreement, the Subscriber is relying exclusively on its own sources of information, investment analysis, and due diligence (including professional any investment advice it deems appropriate) with respect to the Transaction, the Shares and the business, condition (financial or otherwise), management, operations, properties and prospects of the Company or Target, including but not limited to all business, legal, regulatory, accounting, credit and tax matters. Subscriber further acknowledges that certain information provided to it by the Company or the Target was based on projections, and such projections were prepared based on commercial assumptions and estimates that are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections. Subscriber further acknowledges that such information and projections were prepared without participation of the Placement Agent and that the Placement Agent does not assume any responsibility for independent verification of, or accuracy or completeness of, such information or projections.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) Subscriber understands and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of this Offering of the Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment or the accuracy or adequacy of the Disclosure Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) If an entity, Subscriber has been duly formed or incorporated and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation. Subscriber has the power and authority to enter into (or in the case of an individual, the legal capacity), deliver and perform Subscriber's obligations under this Subscription Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) The execution, delivery and performance by Subscriber of this Subscription Agreement are within the powers of Subscriber, have been duly authorized and will not constitute or result in a breach or default under or conflict with any law, statute, rule or regulation applicable to Subscriber, any order, ruling or regulation of any court or other tribunal or of any governmental commission or agency, or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or other undertaking, to which Subscriber is a party or by which Subscriber is bound, and, if Subscriber is not an individual, will not violate any provisions of Subscriber's organizational documents. The signature on this Subscription Agreement is genuine, and the signatory, if Subscriber is an individual, has legal competence and capacity to execute the same or, if Subscriber is not an individual the signatory has been duly authorized to execute the same, and this Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Subscriber, enforceable against Subscriber in accordance with its terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) Neither the due diligence investigation conducted by Subscriber in connection with making its decision to acquire the Shares nor any representations and warranties made by Subscriber herein shall modify, amend or affect Subscriber's right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Company's representations and warranties contained herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o) Subscriber is not (i) a person named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control ("<u>OFAC</u>") or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC ("<u>OFAC List</u>"), owned or controlled by, or acting on behalf of, a person, that is named on an OFAC List, or a person prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program, (ii) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R.

Subscriber agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that Subscriber is permitted to do so under applicable law. If Subscriber is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, and its implementing regulations (collectively, the "<u>BSA/PATRIOT Act</u>"), Subscriber maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. To the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(p) Neither Subscriber, nor, to the extent it has them, any of its equity holders, managers, general or limited partners, directors, affiliates or executive officers (collectively with Subscriber, the "<u>Covered Persons</u>"), are subject to any of the "Bad Actor" disqualifications described in Rule 506(d) under the Securities Act (a "<u>Disqualification Event</u>"), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3). Subscriber has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The acquisition of Shares by Subscriber will not subject the Company to any Disqualification Event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(q) Subscriber acknowledges its obligations under applicable securities laws with respect to the treatment of non-public information relating to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(r) Subscriber has, and on each date any portion of the Aggregate Purchase Price would be required to be funded to the Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement will have, sufficient immediately available funds to pay the Aggregate Purchase Price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(s) Except as expressly disclosed in a Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G (or amendments thereto) filed by such Subscriber with the Commission with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Issuer's common stock prior to the date hereof, Subscriber is not currently (and at all times through Closing will refrain from being or becoming) a member of a "group" (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act or any successor provision) acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of equity securities of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(t) If Subscriber is an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of ERISA, a plan, an individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or an employee benefit plan that is a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA), a non-U.S. plan (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) or other plan that is not subject to the foregoing but may be subject to provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code, or an entity whose underlying assets are considered to include "plan assets" of any such plan, account or arrangement (each, a "<u>Plan</u>") subject to the fiduciary or prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, Subscriber represents and warrants that neither the Company, nor any of its respective affiliates has acted as the Plan's fiduciary, or has been relied on for advice, with respect to (i) its decision to acquire and hold the Shares, and none of the Company or any of its respective affiliates shall at any time be relied upon as the Plan's fiduciary with respect to any decision to acquire, continue to hold or transfer the Shares and (ii) the acquisition and holding of the Shares by Subscriber or any affiliate thereof will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code, or any applicable similar law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(u) Reserved.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that (i) Santander US Capital Markets LLC is acting as placement agent, financial advisor and equity capital markets advisor in connection with the Transaction and is not acting as an underwriter or in any other capacity and is not and shall not be construed as a fiduciary for the Company, the Target or any other person or entity in connection with the Transaction, (ii) the Placement Agent has not made and will not make any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, of any kind or character and has not provided any advice or recommendation in connection with the Transaction, (iii) the Placement Agent will have no responsibility with respect to (A) any representations, warranties or agreements made by any person or entity under or in connection with the Transaction or any of the documents furnished pursuant thereto or in connection therewith, or the execution, legality, validity or enforceability (with respect to any person) or any thereof, or (B) the business condition (financial or otherwise), operations, properties or prospects of, or any other matter concerning the Company, the Target or the Transaction, and (iv) the Placement Agent shall have no liability or obligation (including without limitation, for or with respect to any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements incurred by you, the Company or any other person or entity), whether in contract, tort or otherwise, to you, or to any person claiming through you, in respect of the Transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(w) Subscriber understands that the foregoing representations and warranties shall be deemed material to and have been relied upon by the Company and the Placement Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6. <u>Registration Rights</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Company agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days after the Transaction Closing (the "<u>Filing Deadline</u>"), the Company will file with the SEC (at the Company's sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Shares (the "<u>Registration Statement</u>"), and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof. The Company agrees that the Company will cause such Registration Statement or another registration statement (which may be a "shelf" registration statement) to remain effective with respect to the Shares until the earlier of (i) two years from the issuance of the Shares, (ii) the date on which Subscriber ceases to hold the Shares covered by such Registration Statement, or (iii) on the first date on which Subscriber can sell all of its Shares (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act ("<u>Rule 144</u>") without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such securities that may be sold. Subscriber agrees to disclose its beneficial ownership, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, of the Shares to the Company (or its successor) upon request to assist the Company in making the determination described above. The Company's obligations to include the Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Company held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations. If the SEC prevents the Company from including any or all of the Shares proposed to be registered for resale under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Company's securities by the applicable shareholders or otherwise, (i) such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Company securities which is equal to the maximum number of Company securities as is permitted by the SEC and (ii) the number of Company securities to be registered for each selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional Shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Company shall file a new Registration Statement to register such Shares not included in the initial Registration Statement and cause such Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable consistent with the terms of this <u>Section 6</u>. The Company will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to Subscriber for review reasonably in advance of filing the Registration Statement. In no event shall Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the SEC; *provided*, that if the SEC requests that Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, Subscriber will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Company to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file the Registration Statement or effect the registration of the Shares set forth in this <u>Section 6</u>. For as long as Subscriber holds the Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Company will (A) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, (B) file in a timely manner all reports and other documents with the SEC required under the Exchange Act, as long as the Company remains subject to such requirements, and (C) provide all customary and reasonable cooperation necessary, in each case, to enable Subscriber to resell the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 (when Rule 144 becomes available to Subscriber), as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Company shall, at its sole expense, advise Subscriber within five (5) business days: (i) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; (ii) after it shall have received notice or obtained knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (iv) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein do not include any untrue statements of a material fact and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in the foregoing clause (iv), except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company may delay filing or suspend the use of any such registration statement if it determines that in order for the registration statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, or if such filing or use could materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Company or would require premature disclosure of information that could materially adversely affect the Company (each such circumstance, a "<u>Suspension Event</u>"); *provided*, that the Company may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two (2) occasions or for more than ninety (90) consecutive calendar days, or more than one hundred fifty (150) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve (12) month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that it will (i) immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Shares under the Registration Statement until Subscriber receives (A) (x) copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and (y) notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or (B) notice from the Company that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by applicable law. If so directed by the Company, Subscriber will deliver to the Company or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares in Subscriber's possession; *provided*, *however*, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares shall not apply to (i) the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (A) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (B) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) From and after the Closing, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold Subscriber, each person, if any, who controls Subscriber within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of Subscriber within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, and each broker, placement agent or sales agent to or through which Subscriber effects or executes the resale of any Shares (collectively, the "<u>Subscriber Indemnified Parties</u>"), harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including any reasonable out-of-pocket legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) (collectively, "<u>Losses</u>") incurred by Subscriber Indemnified Parties directly that are (i) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any other registration statement which covers the Shares (including, in each case, the prospectus contained therein) or any amendment thereof (including the prospectus contained therein) or (ii) caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading, except, in the cases of both (i) and (ii), to the extent insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by Subscriber for use therein. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Company's indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) From and after the Closing, Subscriber agrees to, severally and not jointly with any Other Subscriber in the Offering contemplated hereby or any other selling shareholders using the applicable registration statement, indemnify and hold the Company, and the officers, employees, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents of the Company, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act (collectively, the "<u>Company Indemnified Parties</u>"), harmless against any and all Losses incurred by the Company Indemnified Parties directly that are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any other registration statement which covers the Shares (including, in each case, the prospectus contained therein) or any amendment thereof (including the prospectus contained therein) or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading, to the extent insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by Subscriber expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of Subscriber under this <u>Section 6(e)</u> be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Subscriber's indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7. <u>Termination</u>**. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of: (a) the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto and Target to terminate this Subscription Agreement; (b) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; or (c) written notice by either party to the other party to terminate this Subscription Agreement if the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated on or prior to the Outside Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement); *provided* that (i) nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach, and (ii) the provisions of <u>Sections 7</u> through <u>11</u> of this Subscription Agreement will survive any termination of this Subscription Agreement and continue indefinitely. The Company shall notify Subscriber of the termination of the Merger Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement. Upon the termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with this <u>Section 7</u>, any monies paid by Subscriber to the Company for the Aggregate Purchase Price hereunder shall be promptly returned to Subscriber.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8. <u>Trust Account Waiver</u>**. Subscriber hereby represents and warrants that it has read the Prospectus and understands that the Company has established a trust account (the "<u>Trust Account</u>") containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the "<u>IPO</u>") and the overallotment securities acquired by its underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the Company's public shareholders (including overallotment shares acquired by the Company's underwriters, the "<u>Public Shareholders</u>"), and that, except as otherwise described in the Prospectus, the Company may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Shareholders in the event they elect to redeem their Company shares in connection with the consummation of the Company's initial business combination (as such term is used in the Prospectus) (the "<u>Business Combination</u>") or in connection with an extension of its deadline to consummate a Business Combination, (b) to the Public Shareholders if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 21 months after the closing of the IPO, and subject to further extension by amendment to the Company's organizational documents, (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, amounts necessary to pay for any taxes and up to $100,000 in dissolution expenses, or (d) to the Company after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of the Company entering into this Subscription Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Subscriber hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its affiliates that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, neither Subscriber nor any of its affiliates do now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Subscription Agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively, the "<u>Released Claims</u>"). Subscriber on behalf of itself and its affiliates hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that Subscriber or any of its affiliates may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of this Subscription Agreement or any other agreement with the Company or its affiliates). Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Subscription Agreement and specifically relied upon by the Company and its affiliates to induce the Company to enter in this Subscription Agreement, and Subscriber further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against Subscriber and each of its affiliates under applicable law. To the extent Subscriber or any of its affiliates commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to the Company or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against the Company or its Representatives, Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber's and its affiliates' sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit Subscriber or its affiliates (or any person claiming on any of their behalves or in lieu of any of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. In the event Subscriber or any of its affiliates commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to the Company or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or the Public Shareholders, whether in the form of money damages or injunctive relief, the Company and its Representatives, as applicable, shall be entitled to recover from Subscriber and its affiliates the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such action in the event the Company or its Representatives, as applicable, prevails in such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this <u>Section 8</u> shall not affect any rights of Subscriber or its affiliates to receive distributions from the Trust Account in their capacities as Public Shareholders upon the redemption of their shares or the liquidation of the Company if it does not consummate a Business Combination prior to its deadline to do so. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, "<u>Representatives</u>" with respect to any person shall mean such person's affiliates and its and its affiliate's respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, advisors, agents and other representatives. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Subscription Agreement, the provisions of this <u>Section 8</u> shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Subscription Agreement and last indefinitely.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9. <u>Miscellaneous</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights or obligations that may accrue to Subscriber hereunder (other than the Shares acquired hereunder, if any, subject to applicable securities laws) may be transferred or assigned by Subscriber without the prior written consent of the Company, and any purported transfer or assignment without such consent shall be null and void ab initio.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Company may request from Subscriber such additional information as the Company may reasonably deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the Shares, and Subscriber shall provide such information to the Company promptly upon such request, to the extent consistent with its internal policies and procedures; provided, that, the Company agrees to keep any such information provided by Subscriber confidential; it being understood by Subscriber that the Company may without any liability hereunder reject Subscriber's subscription prior to the Closing Date in the event Subscriber fails to provide such additional information requested by the Company to evaluate Subscriber's eligibility or the Company determines that Subscriber is not eligible. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company and Subscriber shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional actions as the parties reasonably may deem to be practical and necessary in order to consummate the subscription as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Subscriber acknowledges that the Company, Target, the Placement Agent and others will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement as if they were made directly to them. Prior to the Closing, Subscriber agrees to promptly notify the Company if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties set forth herein are no longer accurate such that the conditions set forth in <u>Sections 3(b)(i)</u> and <u>3(b)(ii)</u> would not be satisfied as of the Closing. Subscriber agrees that the purchase by Subscriber of Shares from the Company will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein (as modified by any such notice) by Subscriber as of the time of such purchase. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Target is a third-party beneficiary of the representations, warranties and covenants of Subscriber contained in <u>Section 5</u> of this Subscription Agreement, and that Target is otherwise an express third party beneficiary of this Subscription Agreement, entitled to enforce the terms hereof against Subscriber as if it were an original party hereto. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successor and assigns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Each of the Company, Target and the Placement Agent is entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby. Subscriber shall not issue any press release or make any other similar public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) All the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive for six (6) months following the Closing; *provided*, *however*, that the covenants in this Subscription Agreement that contemplate performance after the Closing or expressly by their terms survive the Closing (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Company's obligations with respect to the Registration Statement in Section 6 hereof) shall survive the Closing in accordance with their respective terms or until fully performed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified, or waived except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such modification, waiver, or termination is sought; *provided*, *however*, that no modification or waiver by the Company of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall be effective without the prior written consent of Target (other than modifications or waivers that are solely ministerial in nature or otherwise immaterial and do not affect any economic or any other material term of this Subscription Agreement). No failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or other exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) This Subscription Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof (other than any confidentiality agreement entered into by the Company and Subscriber in connection with the Offering).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) This Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Subscription Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) Each of the parties hereto shall pay all of its own expenses in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein, except as otherwise set forth herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(p) The headings set forth in this Subscription Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be used in interpreting this Subscription Agreement. In this Subscription Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (i) whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Subscription 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"; and (iii) the words "herein", "hereto" and "hereby" and other words of similar import in this Subscription Agreement shall be deemed in each case to refer to this Subscription Agreement as a whole and not to any particular portion of this Subscription Agreement. As used in this Subscription Agreement, the term: (x) "business day" shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday on which commercial banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized to close for business (excluding as a result of "stay at home", "shelter-in-place", "non-essential employee" or any other similar orders or restrictions or the closure of any physical branch locations at the direction of any governmental authority so long as the electronic funds transfer systems, including for wire transfers, of commercially banking institutions in New York, New York are generally open for use by customers on such day); (y) "person" shall refer to any individual, corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company or other entity or association, including any governmental or regulatory body, whether acting in an individual, fiduciary or any other capacity; and (z) "affiliate" shall mean, with respect to any specified person, any other person or group of persons acting together that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such specified person (where the term "control" (and any correlative terms) means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise). For the avoidance of doubt, any reference in this Subscription Agreement to an affiliate of the Company prior to the closing of a Business Combination will include the Company's sponsor, Live Oak Sponsor V, LLC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(q) At Closing, the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional actions as the parties may reasonably deem practical and necessary in order to consummate the Offering as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(r) The legend described in <u>Section 5(b)</u> herein shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate (or cause book-entries to be reflected) without such legend to the holder of the Shares upon which it is stamped or issue to such holder by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at The Depository Trust Company ("<u>DTC</u>"), within five (5) business days of written request by Subscriber (i) if such Shares are registered for resale under the Securities Act, and the holder has sold or proposes to sell such Shares pursuant to such registration, (ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer, such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Shares may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, or (iii) the Shares can be sold, assigned or transferred without restriction or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, including any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and any requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c) or Rule 144(i), as applicable, and in each case, the holder provides the Company with a customary undertaking to effect any sales or other transfers in accordance with the Securities Act. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of the applicable transfer agent, its legal counsel and all DTC fees associated with such issuance, including the fees for causing its counsel to deliver a legal opinion, if any, to the transfer agent in connection with transfers under Rule 144 by Subscriber and Subscriber shall be responsible for all other fees and expenses (including any applicable broker fees or transfer taxes). To the extent required by the Company's transfer agent, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its legal counsel to deliver a customary opinion within five (5) business days of the delivery of all reasonably necessary representations and other documentation from Subscriber as reasonably requested by the Company's transfer agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10. <u>Non-Reliance and Exculpation</u>**. Subscriber acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person other than the statements, representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Subscription Agreement in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. Subscriber further acknowledges and agrees that no other purchaser pursuant to other subscription agreements entered into in connection with the Offering (including the controlling persons, members, officers, directors, partners, agents, employees or other Representatives of any such other purchaser) shall be liable to Subscriber pursuant to this Subscription Agreement for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Shares. Subscriber also agrees not to commence any litigation or bring any claim against the Placement Agent in any court or any other forum which relates to, may arise out of, or is in connection with this Offering. This undertaking is given freely and after obtaining independent legal advice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11. <u>Independent Nature of Investment</u>**. The obligations of Subscriber under this Subscription Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other Subscriber under the Other Subscription Agreements, and Subscriber shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Subscriber under the Other Subscription Agreements. The decision of Subscriber to purchase Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement has been made by Subscriber independently of any Other Subscriber and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company, Target or any of its subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any Other Subscriber or by any agent or employee of any Other Subscriber, and neither Subscriber nor any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Other Subscriber (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Other Subscription Agreement, and no action taken by Subscriber or Other Subscriber pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Subscriber and Other Subscribers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that Subscriber and Other Subscribers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements. Subscriber acknowledges that no Other Subscriber has acted as agent for Subscriber in connection with making its investment hereunder and no Other Subscriber will be acting as agent of Subscriber in connection with monitoring its investment in the Shares or enforcing its rights under this Subscription Agreement. Subscriber shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights under this Subscription Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Subscriber to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

2 About this Presentation This investor presentation (this "Presentation") is provided for informational purposes only in connection with a proposed business combination between Teamshares Inc. (the "Company") and Live Oak Acquisition Corp. V ("Live Oak") and related transactions (collectively, the "Proposed Business Combination") and for no other purpose. The information contained herein does not purport to be all - inclusive and none of Live Oak, the Company or their respective representatives or affiliates makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness or reliability of the information contained in this Presentation. You should not construe the contents of this Presentation as legal, tax, accounting or investment advice or a recommendation. You should consult your own counsel and tax and financial advisors as to legal and related matters concerning the matters described herein. Forward Looking Statements This Presentation contains certain forward - looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that are based on beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to Live Oak and the Company. Forward - looking statements generally relate to future events or the Company's future financial or operating performance. For example, statements regarding anticipated growth in the industry in which the Company operates and anticipated growth in demand for the Company's products and services, the satisfaction of closing conditions to the Proposed Business Combination and the timing of the completion of the Proposed Business Combination are forward - looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward - looking statements by terminology such as "pro forma", "may", "should", "could", "might", "plan", "possible", "project", "strive", "budget", "forecast", "expect", "intend", "will", "estimate", "anticipate", "believe", "predict", "potential" or "continue", or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward - looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. These forward - looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: the risk that the parties are unable to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to the Proposed Business Combination or to complete the Proposed Business Combination; the risk that the Proposed Business Combinations may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of Live Oak's securities; the failure by the parties to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination, including the approval of Live Oak's shareholders; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Business Combinations; the level of redemptions of Live Oak's public shareholders; the failure of the combined company to obtain or maintain the listing of its securities on any stock exchange on which the combined company's common stock will be listed after closing of the Proposed Business Combination;competition, the ability of the Company to grow and manage growth, maintain relationships with customers and retain its management and key employees; costs related to the Proposed Business Combination; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business or competitive factors; the Company's estimates of expenses and profitability; the evolution of the markets in which the Company competes; the ability of the Company to implement its strategic initiatives and continue to innovate its existing products and services. Nothing in this Presentation should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward - looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward - looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward - looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Live Oak and the Company undertake no duty to update these forward - looking statements. No Offer or Solicitation This Presentation does not constitute (i) a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Proposed Business Combination or (ii) an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation to purchase any securities. No such offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act, or an exemption therefrom. Live Oak intends to file a registration statement on Form S - 4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), which will include a document that serves as a prospectus and proxy statement of Live Oak, referred to as a proxy statement/prospectus, to be sent to all Live Oak shareholders. Live Oak also will file other documents regarding the Proposed Business Combination with the SEC. Before making any voting decision, investors and security holders of Live Oak are urged to read the registration statement, the proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the Proposed Business Combination as they become available because they will contain important information about the Proposed Business Combination. Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the registration statement, the proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC by Live Oak through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov. Disclaimer

![](ex99-1_003.jpg)

3 Disclaimer Participants in the Solicitation Live Oak and the Company and their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed under SEC rules to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from Live Oak's shareholders in connection with the Proposed Business Combination. A list of the names of the directors and executive officers of Live Oak and information regarding their interest in the Proposed Business Combination will be contained in the proxy statement/prospectus when available. Additional information regarding the interests of the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies of Live Oaks shareholders in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, including the names and interests of the Company's directors and executive officers, will be set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus on Form S - 4 for the Proposed Business Combination, which is expected to be filed by Live Oak and the Company with the SEC. You may obtain free copies of these documents as described in the preceding paragraph. This communication does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of any securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such other jurisdiction. Financial Information; Non - GAAP Financial Measures The financial information and data contained in this Presentation is unaudited and does not conform to Regulation S - X. Such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in the registration statement to be filed relating to the Proposed Business Combination and the proxy statement/prospectus contained therein. Some of the financial information and data contained in this Presentation, such as Operating EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Pro Forma Adj. Operating EBITDA, Pro Forma Adj. EBITDA, Unlevered Free Cash Flow and Levered Free Cash Flow, has not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Live Oak and the Company believe that the use of these non - GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing the Company's financial condition and results of operations with other similar companies, many of which present similar non - GAAP financial measures to investors, and to assess certain financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Among other things, the Company's management uses these non - GAAP measures for trend analyses and for budgeting and planning purposes. Management does not consider these non - GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non - GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company's financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded and included in determining these non - GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non - GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. You should review the Company's audited financial statements, which will be included in the Registration Statement. Use of Projections This Presentation contains projected financial information with respect to the Company. The projected financial information constitutes forward - looking information, is for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying such financial forecast information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, competitive and other risks and uncertainties. See "Forward - Looking Statements" above. Actual results may differ materially from the results contemplated by the financial forecast information contained in this Presentation, and the inclusion of such information in this Presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results reflected in such forecasts will be achieved. Industry and Market Data In this Presentation, Live Oak and the Company rely on and refer to certain information and statistics obtained from third - party sources which Live Oak and the Company believe to be reliable . Some data is also based on the good faith estimates of the Company, which in each case are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above . Although Live Oak and the Company believe these sources are reliable, Live Oak and the Company have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of any such third - party information . Trademarks This Presentation may contain trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights of other companies, which are the property of their respective owners . Their use is not alone intended to, and does not alone imply, a relationship with any party or an endorsement or sponsorship by or of any party . Solely for convenience, some of the trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights referred to in this Presentation may be listed without the TM, SM© or® symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that the Company or the applicable rights owner will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, its rights to these trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights .

36 Historical Financial Results and Reconciliation of Non - GAAP Measures Note: The Company elected certain private company practical expedients permitted under US GAAP, most notably the treatment of goodwill and certain intangible assets per ASC 350 and ASC 805. The Company is in the process of unwinding these practical expedients as part of the PCAOB financial statement uplift and this will result in changes in the amount of goodwill, intangible assets, amortization and impairment that has been historically recognized. Additionally, the Company did not forecast certain non - cash financial measures such as share - based compensation and changes in fair value of financial instruments because these items are inherently difficult to predict with reasonable accuracy and may be subject to significant volatility.

38 Risk Factors Risks Related to Live Oak and the Proposed Business Combination ● Live Oak may not be able to obtain the required shareholder approval to consummate the Proposed Business Combination. ● Live Oak's sponsors, directors and officers have potential conflicts of interest in recommending that Live Oak's shareholders vote in favor of the Proposed Business Combination. ● Live Oak's sponsors, directors and officers have agreed to vote in favor of the Proposed Business Combination, which will increase the likelihood that Live Oak will receive the requisite shareholder approval for the Proposed Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby regardless of how Live Oak's public shareholders vote. ● The ability of Live Oak's public shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of public shares could deplete Live Oak's trust account prior to the closing of the Proposed Business Combination and thereby diminish the amount of capital available to the combined company. ● Securities of companies formed through combinations with special purpose acquisition companies such as Live Oak may experience a material decline in price relative to the share price prior to such combinations. ● Holders of Live Oak's founder shares, including Live Oak's sponsors, directors and officers and any of their respective affiliates, may receive a positive return on such shares, even if Live Oak's public shareholders experience a negative return on their investment after the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination. ● Live Oak cannot assure you that its due diligence review of Company's business has identified all material issues or risks associated with the Company, its business, or the industry in which it operates. Additional information may later arise in connection with the preparation of the registration statement and proxy materials or after the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination, and shareholders of the combined company could lose some or all of their investment. ● If the valuation attributed to the Company in the Proposed Business Combination is not representative of the actual value of the Company's business, the trading price of combined company shares may suffer and you may lose your entire investment. ● Live Oak's shareholders will experience significant dilution as a consequence of the Proposed Business Combination and related financings. Risks Related to the Combined Company's Securities Following the Consummation of the Proposed Business Combination ● The parties will incur significant transaction costs in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, which may exceed current estimates and expectations, and those costs are expected to be paid using the proceeds from the Proposed Business Combination and related financings, diminishing the amount of capital available to the combined company following closing. ● If, following the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination, securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about the combined company, its business, or its market, or if they change their recommendation regarding the combined company's shares adversely, then the price and trading volume of the combined company's shares could decline. ● An active trading market for the combined company's securities may not be available on a consistent basis to provide shareholders with adequate liquidity. The market price of the combined company shares could decline significantly and trading volume could decline significantly or become volatile following the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination. ● Because there are no current plans for the combined company to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future, shareholders may not receive any return on investment unless shares are sold for a price greater than that which was initially paid. ● The ability of Live Oak's public shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of Live Oak's outstanding shares could increase the possibility that the Proposed Business Combination would limit the combined company's anticipated working capital, liquidity and public float following the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination. ● Shareholders will experience immediate and substantial dilution as a consequence of the issuances of shares and other equity securities by the combined company in the Proposed Business Combination and financings related thereto. Additionally, future sales and issuance of shares could result in additional dilution to combined company shareholders and cause the market price of the combined company's shares to decline even if the business is doing well.

39 Risk Factors ● The combined company's reported operating results may fluctuate significantly or may fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, each of which may cause the market price of its securities to fluctuate or decline. ● Following the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination, the combined company may be subject to an increased risk of securities class action litigation. ● The combined company may be unable to obtain additional financing to fund its operations or growth. ● There can be no assurance that the combined company will be able to meet the initial listing standards of Nasdaq in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, or following the closing of the Proposed Business Combination, that the combined company will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq. ● If financing transactions in connection with the Proposed Business Combination are not available on acceptable terms, the combined company will have less working capital available to pursue its business plans. Risks Related to the Company ● Our principal revenues are expected to be earned in the future, through our subsidiaries and through our operating companies, and we depend on our operating companies for cash. ● Our recent growth rates may not be indicative of our future growth. ● Our future revenue and operating results will be harmed if we are unable to acquire new companies, retain existing companies or expand our operating companies base. ● Revenues and profits generated through acquisition may be less than anticipated, and we may fail to uncover all liabilities of acquisition targets. ● In order to support the growth of our business and our acquisition strategy, we may need to incur additional indebtedness or seek capital through new equity or debt financings. ● We may not be able to successfully implement our growth strategy on a timely basis or at all. ● Failure to effectively source, acquire and integrate companies could harm our ability to increase our number of operating companies and achieve broader market acceptance of our business. ● Our acquisition cycle can be long and unpredictable, and our acquisition efforts require considerable time and expense. ● If Teamshares is deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, it may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and its activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult to operate or to execute its growth plans. ● If we fail to offer high quality support, our business and reputation could suffer. ● Our operating companies may never achieve or sustain profitability. ● If we fail to improve and enhance the functionality, performance, reliability, design, security and scalability of our platform and products, our business may be adversely affected. ● We may not be able to obtain additional financing to fund the operations and growth of the business. ● Natural catastrophic events and man - made problems such as power disruptions, computer viruses, global pandemics, data security breaches and terrorism may disrupt our business. ● If we fail to manage our growth effectively, we may be unable to execute our business plan, maintain high levels of service and customer satisfaction or adequately address competitive challenges. ● Our business plan requires us to acquire or invest in companies, which may divert our management's attention and result in additional dilution to our stockholders. We may be unable to integrate acquired companies and technologies successfully or achieve the expected benefits of such acquisitions.

![](ex99-1_040.jpg)

40 ● We face intense competition, especially from well - established companies offering solutions and related applications. We may lack sufficient financial or other resources to maintain or improve our competitive position, which may harm our ability to grow our business. ● We may need to change our business model to remain competitive. ● If we fail to adapt and respond effectively to rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, and changing needs or preferences, our platform and products may become less competitive. ● We anticipate that our operations will continue to increase in complexity as we grow, which will create management challenges. ● We depend on our senior management team and the loss of one or more key employees or an inability to attract and retain highly skilled employees may adversely affect our business. ● If we are unable to hire, retain and motivate qualified personnel, our business will suffer. ● The estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth included in this presentation may prove to be inaccurate. Even if the market in which we compete achieves the forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all. ● Our pursuit of new business strategies and acquisitions could disrupt our ongoing business, present risks not originally contemplated and materially adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition. ● A cyberattack, security breach or other unauthorized access or interruption to our information technology systems or those of our third - party service providers could delay or interrupt service to our customers and their customers, harm our reputation or subject us to significant liability. ● We depend on third - party data hosting and transmission services. Increases in cost, interruptions in service, latency or poor service from our third - party data center providers could impair the delivery of our platform, which could result in customer dissatisfaction, damage to our reputation, limited growth and reduction in revenue. ● We rely on third - party proprietary and open source software for our platform. Our inability to obtain third - party licenses for such software, or obtain them on favorable terms, or any errors, bugs, defects or failures caused by such software could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. ● Our use of open source software could subject us to possible litigation or cause us to subject our platform or products to unwanted open source license conditions that could negatively impact our sales. ● We rely on computer hardware, purchased or leased, and software licensed from and services rendered by third parties in order to run our business and assist our companies. ● Our growth depends in part on the success of our strategic relationships with third parties. ● We could incur substantial costs in protecting or defending our proprietary rights. Failure to adequately protect our rights could impair our competitive position and we could lose valuable assets, experience reduced revenue and incur costly litigation. ● We are subject to financial and economic sanctions, export controls and similar laws, and non - compliance with such laws can subject us to administrative, civil, and criminal fines and penalties, collateral consequences, remedial measures and legal expenses, all of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and reputation. ● We are subject to anti - corruption, anti - bribery, anti - money laundering and similar laws. Non - compliance with such laws can subject us to criminal and/or civil liability and harm our business. ● Our insurance costs may increase significantly, we may be unable to obtain the same level of insurance coverage and our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all possible losses we may suffer. ● Changes to applicable tax laws and regulations or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could affect our business and future profitability. ● We may be subject to additional obligations to collect and remit sales tax and other taxes. We may be subject to tax liability for past sales, which could harm our business. ● Our anticipated future revenues and earnings and results of operations will suffer if acquisitions we consummate are not as valuable or do not generate the cash we anticipate or we discover material liabilities associated with acquired companies.
