    FORM OF LOCK-UP AGREEMENT

     

    

    THIS LOCK-UP AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of October 12, 2020 by
      and among (i) AMCI Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors, the “Purchaser”),
      (ii) AMCI Sponsor LLC, in the capacity under the Merger Agreement as the Purchaser Representative (including any successor Purchaser Representative appointed in accordance therewith, the “Purchaser 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.

     

    

    WHEREAS, on or about the date hereof, (i) the Purchaser, (ii) AMCI Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and a
      wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser (“Merger Sub”), (iii) the Purchaser Representative, (iv) Vassilios
      Gregoriou, in the capacity as the Seller Representative under the Merger Agreement, and (v) Advent Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors, the “Company”), entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Merger Agreement”),
      pursuant to which, among other matters, upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Closing”), Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company
      continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”), and as a result of which, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company immediately prior to the Closing shall no longer
      be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, in exchange for the right to receive the Merger Consideration, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the
      applicable provisions of the of the DGCL;

    

    

    WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Holder is a holder of the Company Stock 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 the Merger Consideration received by Holder in the Merger (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 limitations on disposition as set forth herein.

    

    

    NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, which are incorporated in this Agreement as if
      fully set forth below, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:

    

    

    
      1

      
        

    

    1.        Lock-Up Provisions.

    

    

    (a) Holder hereby agrees not to, during the period (the “Lock-Up Period”) commencing from the Closing and ending on the earlier of (x) the one (1) year anniversary of the
        date of the Closing, (y) the date on which the closing price of the Purchaser Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any twenty (20)
        trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period commencing at least one-hundred fifty (150) days after the Closing, and (z) the date after the Closing on which Purchaser consummates a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar
        transaction with an unaffiliated third party that results in all of Purchaser’s stockholders having the right to exchange their equity holdings in Purchaser for cash, securities or other property:  (i) lend, offer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber,
        donate, assign, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Restricted
        Securities, (ii) 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 (iii) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the
        foregoing, whether any such transaction described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above is to be settled by delivery of Restricted Securities or other securities, in cash or otherwise (any of the foregoing described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Prohibited Transfer”).  The foregoing sentence 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) or (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; provided, however,
        that in any of cases (I), (II) or (III) it shall be a condition to such transfer that the transferee executes and delivers to the Purchaser and the Purchaser Representative 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.  As used in this Agreement, the term “Permitted Transferee” shall mean: (A) 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), (B) any trust for
        the direct or indirect benefit of Holder or the immediate family of Holder, (C) if Holder is a trust, the trustor or beneficiary of such trust or to the estate of a beneficiary of such trust, (D) if Holder is an entity, as a distribution to limited
        partners, shareholders, members of, or owners of similar equity interests in Holder upon the liquidation and dissolution of Holder, and (E) any affiliate of Holder.  Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by
        Purchaser or the Purchaser Representative that are consistent with the foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.

     

    

    (b) 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 Purchaser shall 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 Section 1, Purchaser 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.

     

    

    (c) During the Lock-Up Period, each certificate 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 OCTOBER 12, 2020, 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.”

     

    

    (d) For the avoidance of any doubt, Holder shall retain all of its rights as a stockholder of the Purchaser during the Lock-Up Period, including the right to vote any Restricted Securities, subject to the terms of the Merger
        Agreement.

    

    

    2.        Miscellaneous.

    

    

    (a) Termination of Merger Agreement.  This Agreement shall be binding upon Holder upon Holder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall only become effective upon the Closing.  Notwithstanding
        anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Closing, this Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall automatically terminate
        and be of no further force or effect.

     

    

    
      2

      
        

    

    (b) Binding Effect; Assignment.  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 transferred or delegated by Holder at any time. The Purchaser 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.  If the Purchaser Representative is replaced in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the replacement Purchaser
        Representative shall automatically become a party to this Agreement as if it were the original Purchaser Representative hereunder.

     

    

    (c) Third Parties.  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 or entity that is not a party hereto or thereto or a successor or permitted assign of such a party.

     

    

    (d) Governing Law; Jurisdiction.  This Agreement and any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without
        regard to the conflict of law 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 New York, New York (or in any appellate courts thereof)
        (the “Specified Courts”). Each party hereto hereby (i) 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 and (ii) 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. 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 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 Section 2(g). Nothing in this Section 2(d) shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

     

    

    (e) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. 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 (i) 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 (ii) 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 SECTION 2(e).

     

    

    
      3

      
        

    

    (f) Interpretation. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise
        requires: (i) any pronoun used in this 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”; (iii) 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; and (iv) the term “or” means “and/or”. The parties have
        participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. Consequently, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no
        presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

    (h) Amendments and Waivers.  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 the Purchaser, the Purchaser 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.

     

    

    (i) Severability.  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.

     

      

    
      5

      
        

    

    
    (j)           
                     Specific Performance.  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 Purchaser (and the Purchaser Representative on behalf of the Purchaser) 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 the Purchaser and the Purchaser 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.

    FORM OF NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT

     

    THIS NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is being executed and delivered as of October 12, 2020, by
      [_______________________] (the “Subject Party”) in favor of and for the benefit of  AMCI Acquisition Corp., a
      Delaware corporation (together with its successors, the “Purchaser”), Advent Technologies Inc., a Delaware company (together with its successors, the
      “Company”), and each of the Purchaser’s and/or the Company’s respective present and future Affiliates, successors and Subsidiaries (collectively with the Purchaser and the Company, the “Covered Parties”).  Any capitalized term used but not defined in this Agreement will have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Merger Agreement.

     

    WHEREAS, on or about the date hereof, (i) the Purchaser, (ii) AMCI Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser (“Merger Sub”), (iii) AMCI Sponsor LLC, in the capacity as the Purchaser Representative under the Merger Agreement (including any successor
      Purchaser Representative appointed in accordance therewith, the “Purchaser Representative”), (iv) Vassilios Gregoriou, in the capacity as the Seller Representative under the Merger
      Agreement, and (v) the Company entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other matters, upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Closing”), Merger Sub will merge with and
      into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”), and as a result of which, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company immediately
      prior to the consummation of the Merger shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, in exchange for the right to receive shares of common stock of the Purchaser, in each case, subject to the terms and
      conditions of the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the of the Delaware General Corporation Law;

    

    

    WHEREAS, the Company, directly and indirectly through its Subsidiaries, engages in the business of researching, developing, producing, marketing and selling fuel cell technologies, including
      hydrogen-based technologies (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 the Purchaser 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, the Purchaser has required that the Subject Party enter into this Agreement;

     

    WHEREAS, the Subject Party is entering into this Agreement in order to induce the Purchaser 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 shareholder, director, officer or employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries, 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 the Purchaser 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:

     

    
      
        

    

    
    1.           Restriction on Competition.

     

    (a)          Restriction.  The Subject Party hereby agrees that during the period from the Closing until the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”) the Subject Party will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (which may be withheld in its sole discretion), anywhere in North America or
      the European Union (including Greece) or in any other markets in which the Covered Parties are engaged, or are actively contemplating to become engaged, in the Business as of the Closing Date or during the Restricted Period (the “Territory”), directly or indirectly engage in the Business (other than through a Covered Party) or own, manage, finance or control, or participate in the ownership, management, financing or
      control of, or become engaged or serve as an officer, director, member, partner, employee, agent, consultant, advisor or representative of, a business or entity (other than a Covered Party) that engages in the Business (a “Competitor”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subject Party and its Affiliates may own passive investments of no more than two percent (2%) of any class of outstanding equity interests in a Competitor that is
      publicly traded, so long as the Subject Party and its Affiliates and immediate family members are not involved in the management or control of such Competitor (“Permitted Ownership”).

     

    (b)          Acknowledgment.  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 Company and its Subsidiaries and the Business, (ii) the Subject Party’s execution of this Agreement is a material inducement to the Purchaser 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 its Affiliates will receive a substantial direct or indirect financial benefit, and that the Purchaser 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 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 engaging in the Business (other than through the Covered
      Parties) 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 every effort has been
      made 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 everywhere 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.

     

    
      2

      
        

    

    2.           No Solicitation; No Disparagement.

     

    (a)          No Solicitation of Employees and Consultants.  The Subject Party agrees that, during the Restricted Period, the Subject Party and its Affiliates will
      not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (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; provided, however, the Subject Party and its Affiliates will not be deemed to have violated this Section 2(a) if any Covered Personnel voluntarily and
      independently solicits an offer of employment from the Subject Party 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 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, so long as such Covered Personnel is not hired.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Covered Personnel” shall mean any Person who is or was an employee, consultant or independent contractor of the Covered Parties, as of such date of the relevant act prohibited by this Section
        2(a) or during the one (1) year period preceding such date.

     

    (b)          Non-Solicitation of Customers and Suppliers.  The Subject Party agrees that, during the Restricted Period, the Subject Party and its Affiliates will
      not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (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 any Covered Party with respect to the Business or (B) reduce the amount of business of such Covered Customer with any Covered Party, or otherwise alter such business relationship in a manner adverse to any Covered Party, 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 any Covered Party and any Covered Customer; (iii) divert any business with any Covered Customer
      relating to the Business from a Covered Party; (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 a Covered Party 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 a Covered Party, as of such date of the relevant act prohibited by this Section 2(b) or during the one (1) year period preceding
      such date.

     

    (c)          Non-Disparagement.  The Subject Party agrees that from and after the Closing until the two (2) year anniversary of 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, subject to Section 3 below, the provisions of this Section 2(c) shall not restrict the Subject Party or its Affiliates from
      providing truthful testimony or information in response to a subpoena or investigation by a Governmental Authority or 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.

     

    

    
      3

      
        

    

    3.          Confidentiality.  From the Closing until the five (5) year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Subject
      Party will, and will cause 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 the Purchaser (which may be withheld in its sole discretion).  As used in this Agreement, “Covered
        Party Information” means all material and information relating to the business, affairs and assets of any Covered Party, including material and information that concerns or relates to such Covered Party’s bidding and proposal, technical
      information, computer hardware or software, administrative, management, operational, data processing, financial, marketing, customers, sales, human resources, employees, vendors, business development, planning and/or other business activities,
      regardless of whether such material and information is maintained in physical, electronic, or other form, that is:  (A) gathered, compiled, generated, produced or maintained by such Covered Party through its Representatives, or provided to such
      Covered Party by its suppliers, service providers or customers; and (B) intended and maintained by such Covered Party or its Representatives, suppliers, service providers or customers to be kept in confidence.  Covered Party Information also includes
      information disclosed to any Covered Party by a third party to the extent that a Covered Party has an obligation of confidentiality in connection therewith.  The obligations set forth in this Section 3 will not apply to any Covered Party
      Information where the Subject Party can prove that such material or information: (i) is known or available through other lawful sources not bound by a confidentiality agreement or other confidentiality obligation with respect to such material or
      information; (ii) is or becomes publicly known through no violation of this Agreement or other non-disclosure obligation of the Subject Party or any of its Representatives; (iii) is already in the possession of the Subject Party at the time of
      disclosure through lawful sources not bound by a confidentiality agreement or other confidentiality obligation as evidenced by the Subject Party’s documents and records; or (iv) is required to be disclosed pursuant to an order of any administrative
      body or court of competent jurisdiction (provided that (A) the applicable Covered Party is given reasonable prior written notice, (B) the Subject Party cooperates (and causes its Representatives to cooperate) with any reasonable request of any
      Covered Party to seek to prevent or narrow such disclosure and (C) if after compliance with clauses (A) and (B) such disclosure is still required, the Subject Party and its Representatives only disclose such portion of the Covered Party Information
      that is expressly required by such order, as it may be subsequently narrowed).

     

    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.  By entering into this Agreement, the Subject Party certifies and acknowledges that the Subject Party has carefully read all of the provisions of this Agreement, and that the Subject Party voluntarily and knowingly enters
      into this Agreement.

     

    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 agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Subject Party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, each applicable Covered Party will be entitled to obtain
      the following remedies (in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedy at law or in equity or pursuant to the Merger Agreement or the other Ancillary Documents that may be available to the Covered Parties, including monetary damages), and a
      court of competent jurisdiction may award:  (i) an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief restraining or preventing such breach or threatened breach, without the necessity of proving actual damages or that monetary damages would be
      insufficient or posting bond or security, which the Subject Party expressly waives; and (ii) recovery of the Covered Party’s attorneys’ reasonable fees and costs incurred in enforcing the Covered Party’s rights under this Agreement.  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.

     

    
      4

      
        

    

    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 Section 1 and Section
        2 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.

     

    7.           Miscellaneous.

     

    (a)          Notices.  All notices, consents, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when
      delivered (i) in person, (ii) by facsimile or other electronic means, with affirmative confirmation of receipt, (iii) one Business Day after being sent, if sent by reputable, nationally recognized overnight courier service or (iv) three (3) Business

    (b)          Integration and Non-Exclusivity.  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
      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 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 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 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 its Affiliate, as applicable.

     

    (c)          Severability; Reformation.  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 request, join such Covered Party in
      requesting that such court take such action.

     

    (d)          Amendment; Waiver.  This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any respect, except by a written agreement executed by the Subject Party, the Purchaser and the Purchaser
      Representative (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, the Purchaser
      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.

     

    
      6

      
        

    

    (e)         Dispute Resolution.  Any dispute, difference, controversy or claim arising in connection with or related or incidental to, or question occurring
      under, this Agreement or the subject matter hereof (other than applications for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, permanent injunction or other equitable relief or application for enforcement of a resolution under this Section
        7(e)) (a “Dispute”) shall be governed by this Section 7(e).  A party must, in the first instance, provide written notice of any Disputes to the other parties subject to such
      Dispute, which notice must provide a reasonably detailed description of the matters subject to the Dispute.  Any Dispute that is not resolved may at any time after the delivery of such notice immediately be referred to and finally resolved by
      arbitration pursuant to the then-existing Expedited Procedures of the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Procedures”) of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”).  Any party involved in such Dispute may submit the Dispute to the AAA to commence the proceedings after the Resolution Period.  To the extent that the AAA Procedures and this Agreement
      are in conflict, the terms of this Agreement shall control.  The arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator nominated by the AAA promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) after the submission of the Dispute to the AAA and
      reasonably acceptable to each party subject to the Dispute, which arbitrator shall be a commercial lawyer with substantial experience arbitrating disputes under acquisition agreements.  The arbitrator shall accept his or her appointment and begin the
      arbitration process promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) after his or her nomination and acceptance by the parties subject to the Dispute.  The proceedings shall be streamlined and efficient.  The arbitrator shall decide the
      Dispute in accordance with the substantive law of the State of New York.  Time is of the essence.  Each party shall submit a proposal for resolution of the Dispute to the arbitrator within twenty (20) days after confirmation of the appointment of the
      arbitrator.  The arbitrator shall have the power to order any party to do, or to refrain from doing, anything consistent with this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and applicable Law, including to perform its contractual obligation(s); provided,
      that the arbitrator shall be limited to ordering pursuant to the foregoing power (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall order) the relevant party (or parties, as applicable) to comply with only one or the other of the proposals.  The arbitrator's
      award shall be in writing and shall include a reasonable explanation of the arbitrator's reason(s) for selecting one or the other proposal.  The seat of arbitration shall be in New York County, State of New York.  The language of the arbitration
      shall be English.

     

    (f)          Governing Law; Jurisdiction.  This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of
      laws principles thereof.  Subject to Section 7(e), all Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any state or federal court located in New York, New York (or in any appellate courts
      thereof) (the “Specified Courts”).  Subject to Section 7(e), 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 Section 7(a).  Nothing in this Section 7(f)
      shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.

     

    (g)         WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  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 SECTION 7(g).  ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 7(g) WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER
      OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

     

    
      7

      
        

    

    (h)         Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries.  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 are express third party
      beneficiaries of this Agreement and will be considered parties under and for purposes of this Agreement.

     

    (i)          Purchaser Representative Authorized to Act on Behalf of Covered Parties.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the Purchaser Representative is authorized and shall have the sole
      right to act on behalf of Purchaser and the other Covered Parties under this Agreement, including the right to enforce the Purchaser’s 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.

     

    (j)          Construction.  The Subject Party acknowledges that the Subject Party has been represented, 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.

     

    (k)          Counterparts.  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.

     

    
      8

      
        

    

    (l)           Effectiveness.  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 Transactions.  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.
