Re: Initial Public Offering

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter (this "Amended and Restated
Letter Agreement") amends and restates that certain letter agreement dated as of March 3, 2021 (the "Original Letter
Agreement") delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") entered
into as of March 3, 2021 by and between Aurora Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the "Company"),
and Barclays Capital Inc., as representative for the several underwriters (the "Underwriter"), relating to an underwritten
initial public offering (the "Public Offering") of 25,300,000 of the Company's units (including up to 3,300,000 units
that may be purchased by the Underwriter to cover over-allotments, if any) (the "Units"), each comprising one share of
the Company's Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, and one-quarter of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant (each,
a "Warrant") entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.
The Units were sold in the Public Offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 and a prospectus (the "Prospectus"),
filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and the Units were listed on
The Nasdaq Capital Market (the "Nasdaq"). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 11 hereof.

 

The Original Letter Agreement was entered into
in order to induce the Company and the Underwriter to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the Public Offering. This
Amended and Restated Letter Agreement is being entered into in order to induce Better Holdco, Inc. (the "Acquired Company")
to enter into that certain merger agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Acquired Company, Aurora Acquisition Corp.
and Aurora Merger Sub I, Inc. For other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
each of Novator Capital Sponsor Ltd. (together with its affiliates unless otherwise noted, the "Sponsor") and the undersigned
individuals, each of whom is a member of the Company's board of directors and/or management team (each, an "Insider"
and collectively, the "Insiders"), hereby agrees with the Company as follows:

 

		1.	The Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees that in the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business
Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, or such later period approved by the Company's shareholders in accordance
with the Company's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the "Charter"), the Sponsor and each
Insider shall take all reasonable steps to cause the Company to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as
promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 Business Days thereafter, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100%
of the shares sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering (the "Offering Shares") and the shares sold as part of
the Novator Private Placement Units (the "Novator Private Placement Shares"), at a per-share price, payable in cash,
equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (as defined below), including interest earned on the funds held in
the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to
pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares and Novator Private Placement Shares, which redemption
will completely extinguish all Public Shareholders' and holders of Novator Private Placement Shares' rights as shareholders (including
the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible
following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company's remaining shareholders and the Company's board of directors, dissolve
and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company's obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and other
requirements of applicable law. The Sponsor and each Insider agrees not to propose any amendment to the Charter to (a) modify the substance
or timing of the Company's obligation to allow redemption in connection with a Business Combination or the Company's obligation to redeem
100% of the Offering Shares and Novator Private Placement Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the time
period set forth in the Charter or (b) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders' rights or pre-initial Business Combination
activity, unless the Company provides Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares upon approval of any such amendment
at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (excluding any amounts then
on deposit in the Trust Account that are allocable to the Novator Private Placement Shares), including interest earned on the funds held
in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and excluding any interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account
that are allocable to the Novator Private Placement Shares) and not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income
taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares.

 

     

     

    

 

Execution Version

 

The Sponsor and each Insider acknowledges
that, with respect to the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, the Novator Private Placement Warrants (and the Company's shares
accrued pursuant to exercise of such warrants) held by it, him or her, it, he or she has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind
in or to any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of any liquidation of the Company, it being understood that the Sponsor makes
no such acknowledgement with respect to the Novator Private Placement Shares in the event of any liquidation of the Company. The Sponsor
and each Insider hereby agrees that if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, then in connection with
such proposed Business Combination, it, he or she shall vote any shares of Capital Stock (whether purchased before, during or after the
Public Offering, including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) owned by it, him or her in favor of any proposed Business
Combination. The Sponsor and each Insider hereby further waives, with respect to any shares of Capital Stock held by it, him or her (including,
for the avoidance of doubt, the Novator Private Placement Shares), if any, any redemption rights it, he or she may have in connection
with the consummation of a Business Combination, including, without limitation, any such rights available in the context of (i) a shareholder
vote to approve such Business Combination, or (ii) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Charter to (a) modify the substance
or timing of the Company's obligation to allow redemption in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Offering
Shares and Novator Private Placement Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the time period set forth in
the Charter or (b) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders' rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity (although
the Sponsor and the Insiders shall be entitled to liquidation rights with respect to any Offering Shares and Novator Private Placement
Shares it or they hold if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Charter). If
the Company engages in a tender offer in connection with any proposed Business Combination, the Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it,
he or she will not seek to sell its, his or her shares of Capital Stock to the Company in connection with such tender offer.

 

		2.	As required by Nasdaq rules, the undersigned acknowledges and agrees that prior to entering into a definitive
agreement for a Business Combination or subsequent transaction with a target business, such transaction must be approved by a majority
of the Company's disinterested independent directors and the Company, or a committee of independent directors, must, to the extent required
by applicable law or based upon the direction of the Company's board of directors or a committee thereof, obtain an opinion from an independent
investment banking firm or another entity that commonly renders valuation opinions that such Business Combination or transaction is fair
to the Company from a financial point of view.

 

     

     

    

 

Execution Version

 

		3.	During the period commencing on the date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 180 days after such
date, the Sponsor and each Insider shall not, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, 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, any
Units, shares underlying such Units, Novator Private Placement Units, Founder Shares, Warrants, Private Placement Warrants, Novator Private
Placement Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, shares owned by it, him or her publicly announce
any intention to effect any transaction specified herein. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if the release or waiver is
effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described
in this Amended and Restated Letter Agreement to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

 

		4.	In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account upon the failure of the Company to consummate its
initial Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Charter, the Sponsor (the "Indemnitor"), which for
purposes of clarification shall not extend to any shareholders, members or managers of the Sponsor, or any of the other undersigned, agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not
limited to, any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, whether
pending or threatened) to which the Company may become subject as a result of any claim by (i) any third party for services rendered or
products sold to the Company or (ii) any prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent,
confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement (a "Target"); provided, however, that such
indemnification of the Company by the Indemnitor (x) shall apply only to the extent necessary to ensure that such claims by a third party
for services rendered (other than the Company's independent public accountants) or products sold to the Company or a Target do not reduce
the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Offering Share and Novator Private Placement Share and
(ii) the actual amount per Offering Share and Novator Private Placement Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation
of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Offering Share and Novator Private Placement Share is then held in the Trust Account due
to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less interest earned on the funds in the Trust Account which may be withdrawn to pay franchise
and income taxes, (y) shall not apply to any claims by a third party or a Target which executed a waiver of any and all rights to the
monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) and (z) shall not apply to any claims under the Company's
indemnity of the Underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"). The Indemnitor shall have the right to defend against any such claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory
to the Company if, within 15 days following written receipt of notice of the claim to the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor notifies the Company
in writing that it shall undertake such defense.

 

		5.	To the extent that the Underwriter does not exercise its over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional
3,300,000 Units within 45 days from the date of the Prospectus (and as further described in the Prospectus) in full, the Sponsor agrees
to forfeit, at no cost, a number of Founder Shares in the aggregate equal to 825,000 multiplied by a fraction (i) the numerator of which
is 3,300,000 minus the number of Units purchased by the Underwriter upon the exercise of its over- allotment option, and (ii) the denominator
of which is 3,300,000. For clarity, the forfeiture shall yield the result that the Initial Shareholders will own an aggregate of 20% of
the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock after the Public Offering (including the Novator Private Placement Shares
and assuming that the Initial Shareholders do not purchase any Units in the Public Offering).

 

     

     

    

 

Execution Version

 

		6.	The Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (i) the Underwriter and the Company
would be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by such Sponsor or an Insider of its, his or her obligations under paragraphs 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7(a), 7(b) and, solely as to each D&O Insider, 8, as applicable, of this Amended and Restated Letter Agreement, (ii)
monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for such breach and (iii) the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief,
in addition to any other remedy that such party may have in law or in equity, in the event of such breach.

 

	7.	(a)	The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it, he or she shall not Transfer any Founder Shares (or
shares issuable upon conversion thereof) or Novator Private Placement Shares (or shares issuable upon conversion thereof) until the earlier
of (A) one year after the completion of the Company's initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the Company's initial Business
Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations,
recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Company's
initial Business Combination or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other
similar transaction that results in all of the Company's shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or
other property (the "Founder Shares Lock-up Period").

 

		(b)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in paragraph 7(a) (which Section 7(a) is inapplicable
to the Private Placement Warrants and the Novator Private Placement Warrants (and the shares issued or issuable upon the exercise thereof)),
the Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it, he or she shall not Transfer any Private Placement Warrants or Novator Private Placement
Warrants (or shares issued or issuable upon the exercise thereof) until 30 days after the completion of the Company's initial Business
Combination (the "Private Placement Warrants Lock-up Period" and "Novator Private Placement Warrants Lock-up
Period", together with the Founder Shares Lock-up Period, the "Lock-up Periods").

 

		(c)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in paragraphs 7(a) and (b), Transfers of the Founder
Shares, Novator Private Placement Shares, Private Placement Warrants, Novator Private Placement Warrants and shares issued or issuable
upon the exercise or conversion thereof and, with respect to the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and shares issued or issuable
upon the exercise or conversion thereof, that are held by the Sponsor, any Insider or any of their permitted transferees (that have complied
with this paragraph 7(c)), are permitted (a) to the Company's officers or directors, any affiliates or family members of any of the Company's
officers or directors, the Sponsor; (b) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of such individual's immediate family or to
a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of such individual's immediate family, an affiliate of such individual or to a charitable
organization; (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (d) in
the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (e) by private sales or transfers made in connection with
the consummation of an initial Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the Founder Shares, Novator Private Placement
Shares, Private Placement Warrants, Novator Private Placement Warrants or shares were originally purchased; (f) to an entity that is an
affiliate of the holder; (g) in the event of the Company's liquidation prior to the completion of an initial Business Combination; (h)
by virtue of the laws of the Cayman Islands, the Company's Memorandum and Articles of Association (as amended or amended and restated)
or the Sponsor's limited liability company agreement upon dissolution of the Sponsor; (i) in the event of the Company's liquidation, merger,
capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company's shareholders having the right
to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the completion of an initial Business Combination; or (j)
to the Company for no value for cancellation in connection with the consummation of the initial Business Combination; provided, however,
that, in the case of clauses (a) through (f) or (h), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement with the Company
agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions in this paragraph 7 and the other restrictions contained in this Amended and Restated
Letter Agreement.

together constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

		17.	This Amended and Restated Letter Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability

provision as may be possible and be valid and enforceable.

 

		18.	This Amended and Restated Letter 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. The parties hereto (i) all agree that any action, proceeding, claim or dispute arising out of,

waive any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and venue or that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.

and Restated Letter Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by express mail or similar private courier service, by certified mail
(return receipt requested), by hand delivery or facsimile or e-mail transmission.

This letter
agreement (this " Letter Agreement") is being entered into in connection with the

 

(i) Agreement
and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, among Aurora Acquisition Corp., a Cayman
Islands exempted company limited by shares (the “Acquiror”), Aurora Merger Sub I Inc., a Delaware corporation and
a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Acquiror ("Merger Sub"), and Better HoldCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
 “Company”) and (ii) Company Holders Support Agreement (the “Company Support Agreement”), dated
as of the date hereof, among the Founder, the Acquiror, the Company and certain other Persons listed in Schedule I thereof. Capitalized
terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement or Company Support
Agreement, as applicable.

 

In consideration
of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Acquiror does hereby agree with the Founder as follows:
