 (ii) The execution and delivery by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the fulfillment of and compliance with the terms hereof by
the Purchaser does not and shall not as of the Closing Date (a) conflict with or result in a breach by the Purchaser of the terms, conditions or provisions of, (b) constitute a default under, (c) result in the creation of any lien,

 C. Investment Representations. 

(i) The Purchaser is acquiring the Private Placement Warrants and, upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, the Shares issuable upon
such exercise (collectively, the “Securities”) for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, any public sale or distribution thereof. 

(ii) The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D, and the
Purchaser has not experienced a disqualifying event as enumerated pursuant to Rule 506(d) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. 
 (iii)
The Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and will be sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon
the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire such
Securities. 

  
 4 

 (iv) The Purchaser did not decide to enter into this Agreement as a result of any general
solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act. 
 (v) The Purchaser has been furnished with
all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by the Purchaser. The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask
questions of the executive officers and directors of the Company. The Purchaser understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk and it has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary
to make an informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of the Securities. 
 (vi) The Purchaser understands that no United
States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities by the Purchaser nor have such
authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities. 
 (vii) The Purchaser understands that: (a) the
Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (1) subsequently registered thereunder or (2) sold in
reliance on an exemption therefrom; and (b) except as specifically set forth in the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement, neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities
Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. In this regard, the Purchaser understands that the SEC has taken the position that promoters or affiliates of a blank check company and their
transferees, both before and after an initial Business Combination, are deemed to be “underwriters” under the Securities Act when reselling the securities of a blank check company. Based on that position, Rule 144 adopted
pursuant to the Securities Act would not be available for resale transactions of the Securities despite technical compliance with the requirements of such Rule, and the Securities can be resold only through a registered offering or in reliance upon
another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. 
 (viii) The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters, knowledge of the high degree of risk associated with investments in the securities of companies in the development stage such as the Company, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the
Securities and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities in the amount contemplated hereunder for an indefinite period of time. The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current financial needs and
contingencies and will have no current or anticipated future needs for liquidity which would be jeopardized by the investment in the Securities. The Purchaser can afford a complete loss of its investments in the Securities.

parties may not assign this Agreement, other than assignments by the Purchaser to affiliates thereof (including, without limitation one or more of its members).

WHEREAS, the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1,

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, a portion of the Property equal to $8,400,000, or $9,660,000 if the underwriters’
over-allotment option is exercised in full, is attributable to deferred underwriting discounts and commissions that may become payable by the Company to the underwriters upon the consummation of an initial business combination (as described in the
Registration Statement, a “Business Combination”) (the “Deferred Discount”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Company and the Trustee
desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Trustee shall hold the Property.

THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:

to the Company; 
 (b) Manage, supervise and administer the Trust Account subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;

it being understood that the Trust Account will earn no interest while account funds are uninvested awaiting the Company’s instructions hereunder and the Trustee may earn bank credits or other consideration; 

(d) Collect and receive, when due, all principal, interest or other income arising from the Property, which shall become part of the
“Property,” as such term is used herein; 
 (e) Promptly notify the Company and the Representatives of all communications received

requested by the Company (or its authorized agents) in connection with the Company’s preparation of the tax returns relating to assets held in the Trust Account;

instructed by the Company to do so;

applicable, signed on behalf of the Company by its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Chief Operating Officer or other authorized officers of the Company, and complete the liquidation of the Trust Account and distribute the Property
in the Trust Account, or to pay its income taxes (and less up to $100,000 of interest that may be released to the Company to pay dissolution expenses, if applicable), only as directed in the Termination Letter and the other documents referred to
therein; or (y) the later of (1) 24 months after the closing of the Offering and (2) such later date as may be approved by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the Company’s Charter, if a Termination Letter has not been
received by the Trustee prior to such date, in which case the Trust Account shall be liquidated in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Termination Letter attached as Exhibit B and the Property in the Trust Account, including
interest not previously released to the Company to pay its income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest that may be released to the Company to pay dissolution expenses, if applicable), shall be distributed to the Public Shareholders of record as of
such date; provided, however, that in the event the Trustee receives a Termination Letter in a form substantially similar to Exhibit B hereto, or if the Trustee begins to liquidate the Property because it has received no such Termination
Letter by the date specified in clause (y) of this Section 1(i), the Trustee shall keep the Trust Account open until twelve (12) months following the date the Property has been distributed to the Public
Shareholders; provided further, that the Trustee has no obligation to monitor or question the Company’s position that an allocation has been made for income taxes payable;

the Trust Account as shall be designated by the Company in writing to make such distribution (it being acknowledged and agreed that any such amount in excess of interest income earned on the Property shall not be payable from the Trust Account). The
written request of the Company referenced above shall constitute presumptive evidence that the Company is entitled to said funds, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to look beyond said request;

 (k) Upon written request from the Company, which may be given from time to time in a form
substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit D (a “Shareholder Redemption Withdrawal Instruction”), the Trustee shall distribute to the remitting brokers on behalf of Public Shareholders redeeming Ordinary Shares the

written instructions, provided that the Company shall promptly confirm such instructions in writing; 
 (b) Subject to the provisions of
Section 4 of this Agreement, hold the Trustee harmless and indemnify the Trustee from and against, any and all expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, or losses suffered by the Trustee in connection
with any claim, potential claim, action, suit or other proceeding brought against the Trustee involving any claim, or in connection with any claim or demand, which in any way arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services of the Trustee
hereunder, or the Property or any interest earned on the Property, except for expenses and losses resulting from the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. Promptly after the receipt by the Trustee of notice of demand or claim
or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, pursuant to which the Trustee intends to seek indemnification under this Section 2(b), it shall notify the Company in writing of such claim (hereinafter referred to as
the “Indemnified Claim”). The Trustee shall have the right to conduct and manage the defense against such Indemnified Claim; provided, that the Trustee shall obtain the consent of the Company with respect to the selection of counsel, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Trustee may not agree to settle any Indemnified Claim without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company may participate in such action with
its own counsel; 
 (c) Pay the Trustee an initial acceptance fee, an annual fee and a transaction processing fee for each disbursement made
as set forth on Schedule A hereto, which fees shall be subject to modification by the parties from time to time. It is expressly understood that the Property shall not be used to pay such fees unless the disbursements are made to the Company
pursuant to Section 1(i) solely in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination. The Company shall pay the Trustee the initial acceptance fee and first year’s fee at the consummation of the IPO and
thereafter on the anniversary of the Effective Date. The Trustee shall refund the Company the annual administration fee (on a pro rata basis) with respect to any period after the liquidation of the Trust Account. The Company shall not be responsible
for any other fees or charges of the Trustee except as set forth in this Section 2(c), Schedule A and as may be provided in Section 2(b) hereof; 

(d) In connection with any vote of the Company’s shareholders regarding a Business Combination, provide to the Trustee an affidavit or
certificate of a firm regularly engaged in the business of soliciting proxies and/or tabulating shareholder votes (which firm may be the Trustee) verifying the vote of the Company’s shareholders regarding such Business Combination; 

(e) In connection with the Trustee acting as Paying/Disbursing Agent pursuant to Exhibit B, the Company will not give the Trustee
disbursement instructions which would be prohibited under this Agreement; 
 (f) Within five business days after the Representatives, on
behalf of the underwriters in the IPO, exercises the over-allotment option (or any unexercised portion thereof) or such over-allotment option expires, provide the Trustee with a notice in writing (with a copy to the Representatives) of the total
amount of the Deferred Discount; 

  
 3 

 (g) In the event the Company is entitled to receive a tax refund on its income tax
obligation, and promptly after the amount of such refund is determined on a final basis, provide the Trustee with notice in writing (with a copy to the Representatives) of the amount of such income tax refund; and 

(h) If the Company seeks to amend any provisions of its Charter that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s Public
Shareholders’ ability to convert or sell their shares to the Company in connection with a Business Combination or with respect to any other provisions relating to the rights of holders of the Ordinary Shares, (in each case, an
“Amendment”), the Company will provide the Trustee with a letter (an “Amendment Notification Letter”) in the form of Exhibit D providing instructions for the distribution of funds to Public Shareholders who exercise their
conversion option in connection with such Amendment.

expenses incident thereto; 
 (c) Change the investment of any Property, other than in compliance with Section 1
hereof; 
 (d) Refund any depreciation in principal of any Property; 

(e) Assume that the authority of any person designated by the Company to give instructions hereunder shall not be continuing unless provided
otherwise in such designation, or unless the Company shall have delivered a written revocation of such authority to the Trustee;

or presented by the proper person or persons. The Trustee shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement or any of the terms hereof, unless evidenced by a written instrument
delivered to the Trustee signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Trustee are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto; 

(g) Verify the correctness of the information set forth in the Registration Statement or to confirm or assure that any acquisition made by the

 (k) Verify calculations, qualify or otherwise approve Company’s written requests for
distributions pursuant to Sections 1(i), (j), or (k) hereof. 
 4. Trust Account Waiver. The Trustee has no
right of set off or any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”) to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account, and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account that it may have now or in the
future. In the event the Trustee has any Claim against the Company under this Agreement, including, without limitation, under Sections 2(b) or (c) hereof, the Trustee shall pursue such Claim solely against the Company and its
assets outside the Trust Account and not against the Property or any monies in the Trust Account. 
 5. Termination. This Agreement
shall terminate as follows: 
 (a) If the Trustee gives written notice to the Company that it desires to resign under this Agreement, the
Company shall use its reasonable efforts to locate a successor trustee during which time the Trustee shall act in accordance with this Agreement. At such time that the Company notifies the Trustee that a successor trustee has been appointed by the
Company and has agreed to become subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee shall transfer the management of the Trust Account to the successor trustee, including but not limited to the transfer of copies of the reports and statements
relating to the Trust Account, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate; provided, however, that, in the event that the Company does not locate a successor trustee within ninety days of receipt of the resignation notice from the Trustee, the Trustee
may submit an application to have the Property deposited with any court in the State of New York or with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and upon such deposit, the Trustee shall be immune from any liability
whatsoever; or 
 (b) At such time that the Trustee has completed the liquidation of the Trust Account in accordance with the provisions of
Section 1(i) hereof and distributed the Property in accordance with the provisions of the Termination Letter, this Agreement shall terminate except with respect to Section 2(b). 

6. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) The
Company and the Trustee each acknowledge that the Trustee will follow the security procedures set forth below with respect to funds transferred from the Trust Account. The Company and the Trustee will each restrict access to confidential information
relating to such security procedures to authorized persons. Each party must notify the other party immediately if it has reason to believe unauthorized persons may have obtained access to such confidential information, or of any change in its
authorized personnel. In executing funds transfers, the Trustee will rely upon all information supplied to it by the Company, including account names, account numbers, and all other identifying information relating to a beneficiary,
beneficiary’s bank or intermediary bank. Except for any liability arising out of the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss, liability or expense resulting from any error in
the information or transmission of the funds. 
 (b) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. This Agreement may be executed in several original or facsimile counterparts,
each one of which shall constitute an original, and together shall constitute but one instrument. 
 (c) This Agreement contains the entire
agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except for Sections 1(i), (j), (k), and (l) hereof (which sections may not be modified, amended or deleted without the
affirmative vote of sixty-five percent (65%) or more of the then issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares and Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company voting together as a single class; provided that no such amendment
will affect any Public Shareholder who has properly elected to redeem his Ordinary Shares in connection with a shareholder vote to amend this Agreement that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its
Ordinary Shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within the time frame specified in the Company’s Charter or with respect to any other provisions relating to the rights of holders of the Ordinary Shares), this
Agreement or any provision hereof may only be changed, amended or modified (other than to correct a typographical error) by a writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

Dear Mr. Wolf and Ms. Gonzalez: 

Pursuant to Section 1(i) of the Investment Management Trust Agreement between Leo Holdings III Corp (the “Company”) and
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Trustee”), dated as of [                ], 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”), this is to advise you
that the Company has entered into an agreement with [•] (“Target Business”) to consummate a business combination with Target Business (the “Business Combination”) on or about [•]. The Company shall notify you at least
72 hours in advance of the actual date of the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Consummation Date”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Trust Agreement. 

In accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, we hereby authorize you to commence to liquidate the Trust Account investments and to
transfer the proceeds to the above-referenced account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. to the effect that, on the Consummation Date, all of funds held in the Trust Account will be immediately available for transfer to the account or accounts that the
Company shall direct on the Consummation Date. It is acknowledged and agreed that while the funds are on deposit in the trust account awaiting distribution, the Company will not earn any interest or dividends. 

On the Consummation Date (i) counsel for the Company shall deliver to you written notification that the Business Combination has been
consummated, (ii) the Company shall deliver to you (a) a certificate of the Chief Executive Officer which verifies the vote of the Company’s shareholders in connection with the Business Combination and (b) written instructions
with respect to the transfer of the funds held in the Trust Account (“Instruction Letter”) and (iii) the Representatives shall deliver to you written instructions for delivery of the Deferred Discount. You are hereby directed and
authorized to transfer the funds held in the Trust Account immediately upon your receipt of the counsel’s letter and the Instruction Letter, (x) to the Representatives in an amount equal to the Deferred Discount as directed by the
Representatives and (y) the remainder in accordance with the terms of the Instruction Letter. In the event that certain deposits held in the Trust Account may not be liquidated by the Consummation Date without penalty, you will notify the
Company of the same and the Company shall direct you as to whether such funds should remain in the Trust Account and be distributed after the Consummation Date to the Company. Upon the distribution of all the funds in the Trust Account pursuant to
the terms hereof, the Trust Agreement shall be terminated. 
 In the event that the Business Combination is not consummated on the
Consummation Date described in the notice thereof and the Company has not notified you on or before the original Consummation Date of a new Consummation Date, then upon receipt by the Trustee of written instructions from the Company, the funds held
in the Trust Account shall be reinvested as provided in the Trust Agreement on the business day immediately following the Consummation Date as set forth in the notice.
