“Sponsors’ Warrants” shall mean the 4,500,000 warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock
to be issued to the Sponsors in a private placement immediately prior to the IPO; (ix)

and conditions set forth in the Prospectus.

     2. If the Company solicits approval of its stockholders of a Business Combination, the
undersigned will vote (i) all Founders’ Shares owned by him or it in accordance with the majority
of the votes cast by the holders of the IPO Shares and (ii) all other shares of the Company’s
Common Stock that may be acquired by him or it in any private placement, the IPO or in the
aftermarket for such Business Combination.

     3. In the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination by the later of
(i) 18 months after the consummation of the IPO (the “Consummation Date”) or (ii) 24 months
after the Consummation Date in the event that either a letter of intent, an agreement in principle
or a definitive agreement to consummate a Business Combination was executed but no Business
Combination was consummated within such 18 month period (such later date being referred to herein
as the “Termination Date”), the undersigned shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), (i) take all action necessary to dissolve
the Corporation and liquidate the trust account established under the Investment Management Trust

dissolution of the Company, and the Company files a proxy statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission seeking stockholder approval for such plan, the undersigned agrees to vote all
Founders’ Shares and all of the shares that may be acquired by him or it in any private placement,

interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”) to participate in any liquidating distribution of
the Trust Account as part of the Company’s plan of distribution with respect to the Founders’
Shares if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination and the Trust Account is
consequently liquidated and hereby waives any Claim the undersigned may have in the future as a
result of, or arising out of, any contracts or agreements with the Company and will not seek
recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever. The undersigned acknowledges and
agrees that there will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to any warrants, all
rights of which will terminate on the Company’s liquidation.

     4. Subject to Section 5 below, in order to minimize potential conflicts of interest
which may arise from multiple affiliations, the undersigned agrees to present to the Company for
its consideration, and not to any other person or entity unless the opportunity is rejected by the

 

 

Freedom Acquisition Holdings, Inc.

Page 3

      

Company, those opportunities to acquire an operating business the undersigned reasonably
believes are suitable opportunities for the Company, until the earlier of (i) the consummation by
the Company of a Business Combination, (ii) the dissolution and liquidation of the Company or (iii)
until such time as the undersigned ceases to be an officer or director of the Company, subject to
any fiduciary obligations the undersigned might have.

     5. The undersigned (“Berggruen Holdings”) agrees that in the event it or one of its
senior investment professionals becomes aware of, or involved with any Business Combination
opportunities with an enterprise value of $500.0 million or more, Nicolas Berggruen will cause the
undersigned to first offer such business opportunities to the Company and further agrees that
neither it nor any of its affiliates will pursue such opportunities unless and until the Company’s
Board of Directors determines that it will not pursue such opportunities (the “Company’s Right
of First Review”). The Company’s Right of First Review will begin upon the consummation of the
IPO and terminate on the earlier of (i) the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination
or (ii) the dissolution and liquidation of the Company.

     6. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not consummate any Business
Combination which involves a company which is affiliated with any of the Founders unless the
Company obtains an opinion from an independent investment banking firm reasonably acceptable to the
Representative that the Business Combination is fair to the Company’s stockholders from a financial
perspective.

     7. Upon consummation of the IPO, each of Berggruen Holdings and Marlin Equities II, LLC
(“Marlin” and together with Berggruen Holdings, “Sponsors”) shall provide the
Company’s audit committee, on a quarterly basis, with evidence that such Sponsor has sufficient net
liquid assets available to consummate the Co-Investment (as described in the Prospectus). In the
event that either Sponsor is unable to consummate the Co-Investment when required to do so, such
Sponsor shall surrender and forfeit its Founders’ Units (including any warrants included in such
units) to the Company.

     8. Neither the undersigned, any member of the family of the undersigned, nor any affiliate of
the undersigned will be entitled to receive and will not accept any compensation for services
rendered to the Company prior to the consummation of the Business Combination; provided, however,
that commencing upon the Consummation Date, Berggruen Holdings, Inc. shall be allowed to charge the
Company an allocable share of its overhead, $10,000 per month, to compensate it for office space,
administrative services and secretarial support until the earlier of the Company’s consummation of
a Business Combination or its liquidation. The undersigned, Marlin and the officers and directors
of the Company shall also be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for their out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with seeking and consummating a Business Combination.

     9. Neither the undersigned, any member of the family of the undersigned, or any affiliate of
the undersigned will be entitled to receive or accept a finder’s fee or any other compensation in
the event the undersigned, any member of the family of the undersigned or any affiliate of the
undersigned originates a Business Combination.

undersigned’s immediate family or to a trust or other entity, the beneficiary of which is the
undersigned or a member of the undersigned’s immediate family, (2) by virtue of the laws of descent
and distribution upon death of the undersigned or (3) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations
order; provided, however, that with respect to each of the transfers described in clauses (1), (2)
