PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT 

THIS PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of [●], 2021 (as it may from time to time be amended, this
“Agreement”), is entered into by and between Ascendant Digital Acquisition Corp. III, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), and Ascendant Sponsor LP III, a Cayman Islands exempted limited
partnership company (the “Purchaser”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company intends to consummate an initial public offering of
the Company’s units (the “Public Offering”), each unit consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (an “Ordinary Share”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Ordinary Share. The Purchaser has agreed to purchase an aggregate of
10,000,000 warrants (or 11,125,000 in the aggregate if the over-allotment option in connection with the Public Offering is exercised in full) (the “Private Placement Warrants”), each Private Placement Warrant entitling the
holder to purchase one Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Share. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises
contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby, intending legally to be bound, agree as follows:

price of $1.00 per warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $11,125,000 (the “Purchase Price”), which shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company at least one business day prior to the

 Section 3.    Representations and
Warranties of the Purchaser. As a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement and issue and sell the Private Placement Warrants to the Purchaser, the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company (which
representations and warranties shall survive each Closing Date) that: 
 A.    Organization and Requisite
Authority. The Purchaser possesses all requisite power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

B.    Authorization; No Breach. 

(i)    This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its
terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equitable principles (whether considered in a
proceeding in equity or law). 
 (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 each Closing Date conflict with or result in a breach by the Purchaser of the terms, conditions or provisions of any agreement, instrument, order,
judgment or decree to which the Purchaser is subject. 
 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 the Purchaser’s 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. 

(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 Rights Agreement, neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to 

  
 3 

 
register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. While the Purchaser understands that Rule 144
is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company, the Purchaser understands that Rule 144
includes an exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met: (i) the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company; (ii) the issuer of the securities is subject to the
reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); (iii) the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be
filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and (iv) at least one year has
elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company. 

(viii)    The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, knows 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 investment in the Securities. 

Section 4.    Conditions of the Purchaser’s Obligations. The obligation of the
Purchaser to purchase and pay for the Private Placement Warrants is subject to the fulfillment, on or before each Closing Date, of each of the following conditions:

in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

 Agreement 

1. Sale and Purchase. 
 (a)
Forward Purchase Units. 
 (i) Subject to Sections 1(a)(ii), (iii) and (iv), the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and
the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, up to a maximum of 9,000,000 Forward Purchase Units (the “Maximum Units”), each consisting of one Class A Share (the “Forward Purchase Shares”) and one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Forward Purchase Warrants” and, together with the “Forward Purchase Units, the Forward Purchase Warrants and the Class A Shares underlying the

Each Forward Purchase Warrant will have the same terms as each Public Warrant, and will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement to be entered into between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company,
as Warrant Agent, in connection with the IPO, mutatis mutandis. 
 (ii) The number of Forward Purchase Units to be issued and sold by the
Company and purchased by the Purchaser hereunder shall be determined as follows: 
 (A) As soon as reasonably practicable,
but in no event less than twenty (20) Business Days after the Company has identified a target for the Business Combination and that target has indicated a willingness to enter into definitive negotiations for the Business Combination, the
Company shall provide the Purchaser with notice (the “Initial Company Notice”) of the number of Forward Purchase Units that it desires to offer the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that such
number shall in no event exceed the Maximum Units. Along with delivery of the Initial Company Notice, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with all pertinent information related to the Business Combination, including: (1) the identity of the
counterparty or parties to the Business Combination (the “Target”); (2) audited financial documents (at a minimum, income statements, balance sheets, statements of cash flow, and general ledgers) of the Target for each fiscal for
each of the previous five (5) fiscal years (if such audited financial documents are reasonably obtainable by the Company; if audited financial documents are not reasonably obtainable, then unaudited financial documents); (3) audited financial
documents (at a minimum, income statements, balance sheets, statements of cash flow, and general ledgers) of the Company since its inception (if such audited financial documents are reasonably obtainable by the Company; if audited financial
documents are not reasonably obtainable, then unaudited financial documents); (4) the complete terms of the Business Combination (including identification of other Forward Purchase Agreements and the amounts thereof, any debt being utilized by the

as the Purchaser (or any applicable Transferee pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof) may request. The Company shall keep the Purchaser informed of the progress of the negotiations with the target of the Business Combination, and shall
regularly update the information provided to the Purchaser as may be necessary to keep the Purchaser fully informed of the status of the target and the Business Combination. 

(B) The Company shall inform the Purchaser of the entry into definitive agreements with the Target for the Business
Combination. Prior to the later of twenty (20) Business Days after this notification to the Purchaser or twenty (20) business days before the Business Combination Closing, the Purchaser shall provide the Company with notice of the decision
of its investment committee as to the approval or non-approval of the purchase of Forward Purchase 

  
 2 

 
Units, and, in the case of approval, the amount of Forward Purchase Units that the Purchaser intends to purchase. If approved, this notice shall constitute the binding obligation of the Purchaser
to purchase the Forward Purchase Units indicated in its notice to the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The determination of the Purchaser’s investment committee as to whether, and how much, of the Forward Purchase
Units offered to the Purchaser are to be purchased by the Purchaser shall be made in the committee’s sole and absolute discretion. 

(iii) At least ten (10) Business Days before the Business Combination Closing, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with an updated
notice (the “Final Company Notice”) including:

Units that it desires the Purchaser to purchase pursuant to this Agreement, which shall not exceed the number of Forward Purchase Units indicated on the Purchaser’s notice of the decision of its investment committee;

(C) instructions for wiring the Forward Purchase Price.

Forward Purchase Price for the Forward Purchase Units by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company in such notice to be held in escrow until the Forward Closing. Immediately prior to the
Forward Closing on the Forward Closing Date, (i) the Forward Purchase Price shall be released from escrow automatically and without further action by the Company or the Purchaser, and (ii) upon such release, the Company shall issue the
Forward Purchase Units to the Purchaser in book-entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those arising under state or federal securities laws), registered in the name of the Purchaser (or its nominee in
accordance with its delivery instructions), or to a custodian designated by the Purchaser, as applicable. In the event the Business Combination Closing does not occur within five (5) Business Days of the date scheduled for closing, the Forward
Closing shall not occur and the Company shall promptly (but not later than one (1) Business Day thereafter) return the Forward Purchase Price to the Purchaser. For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day, other than a
Saturday or a Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law or regulation to close in the City of New York, New York. 

(b) Legends. Each register and book entry for the Forward Purchase Securities shall contain a notation, and each certificate (if any)
evidencing the Forward Purchase Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend, in substantially the following form: 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY
STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN VIOLATION OF SUCH ACT AND LAWS. THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION, OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN AMENDED AND RESTATED
FORWARD PURCHASE AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE HOLDER AND THE COMPANY. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”

the Company as follows, as of the date hereof:

in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted. 

(b) Authorization. The Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement. This Agreement, when executed and delivered
by the Purchaser, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
fraudulent conveyance and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable

declaration or filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority is required on the part of the Purchaser in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for filings as may be required by
Korean and/or Japanese law, regulation or policy (including filings that may be required for outward foreign investment). 
 (d)
Compliance with Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in any violation or default
(i) of any provisions of its organizational documents, (ii) of any instrument, judgment, order, writ or decree to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (iii) under any note, indenture or mortgage to which it is a party or by
which it is bound, (iv) under any lease, agreement, contract or purchase order to which it is a party or by which it is bound or (v) of any provision of federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Purchaser, in each case
(other than clause (i)), which would have a material adverse effect on the Purchaser or its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

(e) Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with the Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser’s representation
to the Company, which by the Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby confirms, that the Forward Purchase Securities to be acquired by the Purchaser will be acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account, not
as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of any state or federal securities laws, and that the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or
otherwise distributing the same in violation of law. By executing this Agreement, the Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or
grant participations to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to any of the Forward Purchase Securities. For purposes of this Agreement, “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint
venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity or any government or any department or agency thereof. Person does not include any affiliated entity of Purchaser.

 (g) Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands that the offer and sale of the
Forward Purchase Units to the Purchaser has not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the
Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. The Purchaser understands that the Forward Purchase Securities are
“restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Purchaser must hold the Forward Purchase Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the SEC and qualified by
state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Forward Purchase Securities, or any Class A Shares
into which the Forward Purchase Securities may be converted or exercised, for resale, except for the Registration Rights. The Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned
on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Forward Purchase Securities, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Purchaser’s control, and which the
Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company filed the Registration Statement for its proposed IPO. The Purchaser understands that the offering of the Forward Purchase Securities is not,
and is not intended to be, part of the IPO, and that the Purchaser will not be able to rely on the protection of Section 11 of the Securities Act with respect to the Forward Purchase Securities. 

(h) No Public Market. The Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Forward Purchase Securities, and that the
Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Forward Purchase Securities. 
 (i) High Degree of Risk.
The Purchaser understands that its agreement to purchase the Forward Purchase Securities involves a high degree of risk which could cause the Purchaser to lose all or part of its investment. 

(j) Accredited Investor. The Purchaser is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act. 
 (k) No General Solicitation. Neither the Purchaser, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
shareholders or partners has either directly or indirectly, including, through a broker or finder (i) engaged in any general solicitation, or (ii) published any advertisement in connection with the offer and sale of the Forward Purchase
Units. 
 (l) Residence. The Purchaser’s principal place of business is the office or offices located at the address of the
Purchaser set forth on the signature page hereof. 
 (m) Non-Public Information. The
Purchaser acknowledges its obligations under applicable securities laws with respect to the treatment of non-public information relating to the Company. 

(n) Adequacy of Financing. At the time of the Forward Closing, the Purchaser will have available to it sufficient funds to satisfy its
obligations under this Agreement. 
 (o) No Other Representations and Warranties;
Non-Reliance. Except for the specific representations and warranties contained in this Section 2 and in any certificate or agreement delivered pursuant hereto, none of the Purchaser nor any person
acting on behalf of the Purchaser nor any of the Purchaser’s affiliates (the “Purchaser Parties”) has made, makes or shall be deemed to make any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Purchaser
and this offering, and the Purchaser Parties disclaim any such representation or warranty. Except for the specific representations and warranties expressly made by the Company in Section 3 of this Agreement and in any certificate or agreement
delivered pursuant hereto, the Purchaser Parties specifically disclaim that they are relying upon any other representations or warranties that may have been made by the Company, any person on behalf of the Company or any of the Company’s
affiliates (collectively, the “Company Parties”). 

  
 5 

 3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the
Purchaser as follows: 
 (a) Incorporation and Corporate Power. The Company is duly incorporated and validly existing and in good
standing as an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted. The Company has no subsidiaries.

(i) 500,000,000 Class A Shares, none of which are issued and outstanding. 

(ii) 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class B Shares”), 7,187,500 of
which are issued and outstanding. All of the outstanding Class B Shares have been duly authorized, are fully paid and nonassessable and were issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. 

(iii) 5,000,000 preference shares, none of which are issued and outstanding. 

(c) Authorization. All corporate action required to be taken by the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders in order to

of the Company necessary for the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of all obligations of the Company under this Agreement to be performed as of the Forward Closing, and the issuance and delivery of the Forward Purchase has
been taken or will be taken prior to the Forward Closing. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Company, shall constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its
terms except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as
limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies, or (iii) to the extent the indemnification provisions contained in the Registration Rights may be limited by applicable

this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, as applicable, and free of all preemptive or similar rights, taxes, liens, encumbrances and charges with respect to the issue thereof and restrictions on transfer other than
restrictions on transfer specified under this Agreement, applicable state and federal securities laws and liens or encumbrances created by or imposed by the Purchaser. Assuming the accuracy of the representations of the Purchaser in this Agreement
and subject to the filings described in Section 3(e) below, the Forward Purchase Securities will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. 

(e) Governmental Consents and Filings. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the Purchaser in this
Agreement, no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority is required on the part of the Company in connection with the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for filings pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws, if any, and pursuant to the Registration Rights. 

  
 6 

 (f) Compliance with Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in any violation or default (i) of any provisions of the Company’s memorandum and articles of association, as it may be amended from
time to time (the “Charter”), or other governing documents of the Company, (ii) of any instrument, judgment, order, writ or decree to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound, (iii) under any note, indenture or
mortgage to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound, (iv) under any lease, agreement, contract or purchase order to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound or (v) of any provision of federal or state statute, rule
or regulation applicable to the Company, in each case (other than clause (i)) which would have a material adverse effect on the Company or its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

operations other than organizational activities and activities in connection with offerings of its securities. 
 (h) No General
Solicitation. Neither the Company, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or shareholders has either directly or indirectly, including, through a broker or finder (i) engaged in any general solicitation, or
(ii) published any advertisement in connection with the offer and sale of the Forward Purchase Units. 
 (i) No Other
Representations and Warranties; Non-Reliance. Except for the specific representations and warranties contained in this Section 3 and in any certificate or agreement delivered pursuant hereto, none of
the Company Parties has made, makes or shall be deemed to make any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Company, this offering, the proposed IPO or a potential Business Combination, and the Company Parties disclaim
any such representation or warranty. Except for the specific representations and warranties expressly made by the Purchaser in Section 2 of this Agreement and in any certificate or agreement delivered pursuant hereto, the Company Parties
specifically disclaim that they are relying upon any other representations or warranties that may have been made by the Purchaser Parties. 
 4.
Registration Rights; Transfer 
 (a) Registration Rights. The Purchaser shall be granted registration rights by the Company with
respect to the Forward Purchase Securities pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be entered into with the Company, a form of which has been filed with the registration statement relating to the Company’s IPO (the “Registration
Rights”). 
 (b) Transfer. This Agreement and all of the Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder (including the
Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Forward Purchase Units) may be transferred or assigned, at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, to one or more affiliates of the Purchaser (each such transferee, a
“Transferee”). Upon any such assignment: 
 (i) the applicable Transferee shall execute a signature page to this Agreement,
substantially in the form of the Purchaser’s signature page hereto (the “Joinder Agreement”), which shall reflect the number of Forward Purchase Units to be purchased by such Transferee (the “Transferee
Securities”), and, upon such execution, such Transferee shall have all the same rights and obligations of the Purchaser hereunder with respect to the Transferee Securities, and references herein to the “Purchaser” shall be
deemed to refer to and include any such Transferee with respect to such Transferee and to its Transferee Securities; provided, that any representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Purchaser and any such Transferee shall be
several and not joint and shall be made as to the Purchaser or any such Transferee, as applicable, as to itself only; and 

  
 7 

 (ii) upon a Transferee’s execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement, the number of
Forward Purchase Units to be purchased by the Purchaser hereunder shall be reduced by the total number of Forward Purchase Units to be purchased by the applicable Transferee pursuant to the applicable Joinder Agreement, which reduction shall be
evidenced by the Purchaser and the Company amending Schedule A to this Agreement to reflect each transfer and updating the “Number of Forward Purchase Units” and “Aggregate Purchase Price for Forward Purchase Units” on the
Purchaser’s signature page hereto to reflect such reduced number of Forward Purchase Units, and the Purchaser shall be fully and unconditionally released from its obligation to purchase such Transferee Securities hereunder. For the avoidance of
doubt, this Agreement need not be amended and restated in its entirety, but only Schedule A and the Purchaser’s signature page hereto need be so amended and updated and executed by each of the Purchaser and the Company upon the
occurrence of any such transfer of Transferee Securities. 
 5. Additional Agreements, Acknowledgements and Waivers of the Purchaser. 

(a) Lock-up; Transfer Restrictions. The Purchaser agrees that it shall not Transfer any Forward Purchase Units (or the Forward Purchase
Shares and Forward Purchase Warrants, including the Class A Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of any such Forward Purchase Warrants) until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Transfers of the Forward Purchase Units (and the underlying Class A Shares and Warrants, including the Class A Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of any such warrants) are permitted (any such transferees, the “Permitted
Transferees”): (A) to the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliates or family members of any of the Company’s officers or directors, any members of the Purchaser, or any affiliates of the Purchaser; (B) in the case of an
individual, by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate family, to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of individual’s immediate family or an affiliate of such person, or to a charitable organization; (C) in the case of an
individual, by virtue of 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
a Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the securities were originally purchased; (F) in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to the completion of a Business Combination; (G) in the event of the
Company’s liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A Shares for cash, securities or other property
subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination; (H) as a distribution to limited partners, members or shareholders of the Purchaser; (I) to the Purchaser’s affiliates, to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the
Purchaser or any of its affiliates, or to any investment manager or investment advisor of the Purchaser or an affiliate of any such investment manager or investment advisor; (J) to a nominee or custodian of a person or entity to whom a disposition
or transfer would be permissible under clauses (A) through (I) above; (K) to the Purchaser or any Transferee hereunder; (L) by virtue of the laws of the Purchaser’s jurisdiction of formation or its organizational documents upon dissolution of
the Purchaser; and (M) pursuant to an order of a court or regulatory agency; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (A) through (E) and (H) through (L), these Permitted Transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing
to be bound by these transfer restrictions. “Transfer” shall mean the (x) sale or assignment of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell, hypothecation, pledge, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or
agreement to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establishment or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease of a call equivalent position (within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and the rules
and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder) with respect to, any of the Forward Purchase Securities (excluding any pledges in the ordinary course of business for bona fide financing purposes or as part of prime brokerage arrangements), (y)
entry into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any of the Forward Purchase Securities, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such
Forward Purchase Securities, in cash or otherwise, or (z) public announcement of any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (x) or (y). 

  
 8 

 (b) Trust Account. 

(i) The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is aware that the Company will establish the Trust Account for the benefit of its public
shareholders upon the IPO Closing. The Purchaser, for itself and its affiliates, hereby agrees that it has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, or any other asset of the Company as a result of
any liquidation of the Company, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in respect of any Public Shares held by it. 

(ii) The Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall have 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, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in
respect of any Public Shares held by it. In the event the Purchaser has any Claim against the Company under this Agreement, the Purchaser 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, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in respect of any Public Shares held by it.

the New York Stock Exchange (or another national securities exchange) at the time of the Business Combination Closing.

8. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Forward Closing: 

(a) by mutual written consent of the Company and the Purchaser; 

(b) automatically 
 (i) if the

(f) Assignments. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no party hereto may assign either this Agreement or any of its
rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other party. 
 (g) Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. 

(h) Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not affect in any way the
meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 (i) Governing Law. This Agreement, the entire relationship of the parties hereto, and
any dispute between the parties (whether grounded in contract, tort, statute, law or equity) shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its choice of
laws principles. 

  
 11 

 (j) Jurisdiction. The parties (i) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
submit to the jurisdiction of the state courts of New York and to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this
Agreement, (ii) agree not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement except in state courts of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and

enforced in or by such court. 
 (k) Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereto hereby waive any right to a jury trial in connection
with any litigation pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 (l) Amendments. This Agreement may not be
amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision except with the prior written consent of the Company and the Purchaser. 
 (m)
Severability. The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided, that if any
provision of this Agreement, as applied to any party hereto or to any circumstance, is adjudged by a governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator not to be enforceable in accordance with its terms, the parties hereto agree that the governmental
authority, arbitrator, or mediator making such determination will have the power to modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form,
such provision will then be enforceable and will be enforced. 
 (n) Expenses. Each of the Company and the Purchaser will bear its
own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including all fees and expenses of agents, representatives, financial
advisors, legal counsel and accountants. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent; stamp taxes and all of The Depository Trust Company’s fees associated with the issuance of the Forward Purchase Securities and the
securities issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Forward Purchase Securities. 
 (o) Construction. The parties hereto have
participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of
proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign law will be deemed also to refer to law as amended and all rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.”
Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this
Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly
so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect,
the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that
such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant. 

  
 12 

 (p) Waiver. No waiver by any party hereto of any default, misrepresentation, or
breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any
prior or subsequent occurrence. 
 (q) Specific Performance. The Purchaser agrees that irreparable damage may occur in the event any
provision of this Agreement was not performed by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Company shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity. 

(r) Amendment and Restatement. From and after the effectiveness of this Agreement, the rights and obligations of the parties under the
Original Agreement shall be subsumed and governed by this Agreement and the obligations under the Original Agreement shall continue as obligations under this Agreement. Each reference to the “Forward Purchase Agreement” in any public
filing with the SEC shall be construed to include a reference to this Agreement (as further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time) and not to the Original Agreement.
