    Re: Administrative Services Agreement

    

    

    Gentlemen:

    

    

    This letter agreement by and between South Mountain Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and
      BlueCrest Capital Management LP, a Guernsey limited partnership, acting through its general partner, BlueCrest Capital Management Limited (the “Services Provider”), dated as of the date
      hereof, will confirm our agreement that, commencing on the date that securities of the Company are first listed on a national securities exchange (the “Listing Date”) and continuing until
      the earlier of the consummation by the Company of an initial business combination and the Company’s liquidation (in each case as described in the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-231881) filed with the Securities and Exchange
      Commission) (such earlier date hereinafter referred to as the “Termination Date”):

    

    

    
      
        	1.	
                The Services Provider (and/or any of its affiliates designated by the Services Provider) shall make available to the Company, at the address of the Services Provider referred to
                  above (or any successor location or other existing office locations of the Services Provider or any of its affiliates), office space and  administrative and support services as may be reasonably requested by the Company. In exchange
                  therefor, the Company shall pay to the Services Provider, on the first day of each month, the sum of $25,000per month commencing on the Listing Date and continuing monthly thereafter until the Termination Date; and

              

      

    

    

    

    
      
        	2.	
                The Services Provider hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title, interest, causes of action and claims of any kind or nature whatsoever (each, a “Claim”) in or to, and any and all right to seek payment of any amounts due to it out of, the trust account established for the benefit of the public stockholders of the Company and into which
                  substantially all of the proceeds of the Company’s initial public offering will be deposited (the “Trust Account”), and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim it presently has or
                  may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this letter agreement, which Claim would reduce, encumber or otherwise adversely affect the Trust Account or any monies or other assets in the Trust Account, and further agrees not
                  to seek recourse, reimbursement, payment or satisfaction of any Claim against the Trust Account or any monies or other assets in the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever.

              

      

    

    

    

    
      
        

    

    

    

    This letter agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of its subject matter and supersedes all prior understandings,
      agreements, or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby.

    

    

    This letter agreement may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto.

    

    

    No party hereto may assign either this letter agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other party,
      provided that the Services Provider may assign this letter agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder to an affiliate without the prior written approval of the Company. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph
      shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee.

    

    

    This letter agreement constitutes the entire relationship of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter described herein and any litigation between the parties
      (whether grounded in contract, tort, statute, law or equity) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

    

    

    This letter agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall
      constitute one and the same letter agreement.

(c)           Subject, in the case of each Borrower that is a Debtor, to the entry of the DIP Orders and subject to the terms thereof, this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by each Borrower and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Borrower enforceable against each such Borrower in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) except in the case of each Borrower that is not a Debtor, the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing.

4.             Conditions to Effectiveness.

Except to the extent hereby amended, the Existing Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and affirmed as of the Amendment Effective Date.  Each Borrower expressly confirms that, with effect from (and including) the Amendment Effective Date, the Security Documents shall apply and extend to the liabilities and obligations of each relevant Borrower under the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

6.             Miscellaneous.  This Amendment shall be limited precisely as written and, except as expressly provided herein, shall not be deemed (a) to be a consent granted pursuant to, or a waiver or modification of, any term or condition of the Existing Credit Agreement, any other Loan Documents or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein or (b) to prejudice any right or rights which the Agents or the other Secured Parties may now have or have in the future under or in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein. Unless the context indicates otherwise, on and after the Amendment Effective Date, whenever the Existing Credit Agreement is referred to in the Amended Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents or any of the instruments, agreements or other documents or papers executed or delivered in connection therewith, such reference shall be deemed to mean the Amended Credit Agreement.  The Borrowers agree that their obligations set forth in Section 9.05 of the Amended Credit Agreement shall extend to the preparation, execution and delivery of this Amendment.  This Amendment is hereby deemed to be a Loan Document for purposes of each Loan Document.

 

7.             Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 10.03 of the Existing Credit Agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Amendment by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original.

 

8.             Governing Law.  THIS AMENDMENT AND ALL ACTIONS ARISING UNDER THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND (TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE) THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.

9.             Entire Agreement.  This Amendment constitutes the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof.  Any previous agreement among or representations from the parties or their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Amendment. Nothing in this Amendment, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Amendment.  To the extent that any provision herein is inconsistent with any term of the DIP Orders, the DIP Order shall control.

 

10.          Severability.  In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Amendment should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.  The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

 

11.          Waiver of Jury Trial; Jurisdiction.    The provisions of Sections 10.11 and 10.15 of the Existing Credit Agreement shall apply to this Amendment, mutatis mutandis.
