(d) Subject
to and conditioned upon the Closing, each Stockholder hereby agrees that each of the following to which such Stockholder is a party shall

Section 2 Irrevocable
Proxy. Each Stockholder hereby revokes any proxies that such Stockholder has heretofore granted with respect to such
Stockholder’s Stockholder Shares (other than pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Voting Agreement), hereby irrevocably constitutes
and appoints Acquiror as attorney-in-fact and proxy for the purposes of complying with the obligations hereunder in accordance with
the DGCL for and on such Stockholder’s behalf, for and in such Stockholder’s name, place and stead, in the event that
such Stockholder fails to comply in any material respect with his, her or its obligations hereunder in a timely manner, to vote the
Stockholder Shares of such Stockholder and grant all written consents thereto in each case in accordance with the provisions of
Sections 1(a)(i) and (ii) and represent and otherwise act for such Stockholder in the same manner and with the same effect as if
such Stockholder were personally present at any meeting held for the purpose of voting on the foregoing. The foregoing proxy is
coupled with an interest, is irrevocable (and, with respect to any Stockholder that is an individual, as such shall survive and not
be affected by the death, incapacity, mental illness or insanity of the Stockholder) until the end of the Restricted Period and
shall not be terminated by operation of Law or upon the occurrence of any other event other than following a termination of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 8.13. Each Stockholder authorizes such attorney-in-fact and proxy to substitute any other
Person to act hereunder, to revoke any substitution and to file this proxy and any substitution or revocation with the Secretary of
the Company. Each Stockholder hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 2 is given in connection
with the execution by Acquiror of the Merger Agreement and that such irrevocable proxy is given to secure the obligations of such
Stockholder under Section 1. The irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 2 is executed and intended to be
irrevocable. Each Stockholder agrees not to grant any proxy that conflicts or is inconsistent with the proxy granted to Acquiror in
this Agreement.

or organization, (b) has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform such Stockholder’s
obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and (c) the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by such Stockholder and the consummation by such Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Stockholder and no other proceedings on the part of any such Stockholder or such
Stockholder’s equityholders are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby except as have been obtained prior to the date of this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed
and delivered by such Stockholder and, assuming the due execution and delivery by Acquiror, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation

execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Stockholder and the consummation by such Stockholder of the transactions
contemplated hereby do not and will not require any filing or registration with, notification to, or authorization, permit, license, declaration,

or by which any property or asset of such Stockholder is bound, (iii) require any consent or notice, or result in any violation or breach

or assets, or (iv) result in the creation of a Lien on any property or asset of such Stockholder, except in the case of clauses (ii) and

of such Stockholder to timely perform its obligations hereunder or consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. If such Stockholder

(a) Each
Stockholder hereby agrees not to, during the Restricted Period, Transfer (as defined below), or cause to be Transferred, any Stockholder
Shares, Company Options, Company RSUs or Company Warrants owned of record or beneficially by such Stockholder, or any voting rights with
respect thereto (“Subject Securities”), or enter into any Contract with respect to conducting any such Transfer. Each
Stockholder hereby authorizes Acquiror to direct the Company to impose stop, transfer or similar orders to prevent the Transfer of any

or any interest (including any beneficial ownership interest) in any capital stock, options or warrants (including the right or power
to vote any capital stock) or (ii) in respect of any capital stock, options or warrants or interest (including any beneficial ownership
interest) in any capital stock, options or warrants to directly or indirectly enter into any swap, derivative or other agreement, transaction
or series of transactions, in each case referred to in this clause (ii) that has an exercise or conversion privilege or a settlement or
payment mechanism determined with reference to, or derived from the value of, such capital stock, options or warrants and that hedges
or transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequences of such capital stock, options or warrants or interest
(including any beneficial ownership interest) in capital stock, options or warrants whether any such transaction, swap, derivative or
series of transactions is to be settled by delivery of securities, in cash or otherwise. A “Transfer” shall not include
the transfer of Subject Securities by a Stockholder to such Stockholder’s estate, such Stockholder’s immediate family, to
a trust for the benefit of such Stockholder’s family, upon the death of such Stockholder or to an Affiliate of such Stockholder

to “the parties hereto” and similar references shall be deemed to include any later party signing a Joinder.

 

(c) Each
Stockholder hereby agrees not to, and not to permit any Person under such Stockholder’s control to deposit any of such Stockholder’s
Stockholder Shares in a voting trust or subject any of the Stockholder Shares owned beneficially or of record by such Stockholder to any

Section 5 Waiver and
Release of Claims. Each Stockholder covenants and agrees, severally with respect to such Stockholder only and not with respect to
any other Stockholder, as follows:

 

(a) Effective
as of the Closing, subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (c) below, each Stockholder, on behalf of such Stockholder and
his, her or its Affiliates and his, her or its respective successors, assigns, representatives, administrators, executors and agents,
and any other person or entity claiming by, through, or under any of the foregoing, does hereby unconditionally and irrevocably release,
waive and forever discharge each of the AEye Companies, Acquiror, Merger Sub, CF Finance Holdings III, LLC and each of their respective
past and present directors, officers, employees, agents, predecessors, successors, assigns, Subsidiaries and Affiliates, from any and
all past or present claims, demands, damages, judgments, causes of action and liabilities of any nature whatsoever, whether or not known,
suspected or claimed, arising directly or indirectly from any act, omission, event or transaction occurring (or any circumstances existing)
at or prior to the Closing (each a “Claim” and, collectively, the “Claims”), arising out of or relating
to the Stockholder’s capacity as a current or former stockholder of the Company or any of its predecessors.

 

(b) Each
Stockholder acknowledges that he, she or it may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those which he, she or it now
knows or believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and that he, she or it may hereafter come to have a
different understanding of the law that may apply to potential claims which he, she or it is releasing hereunder, but he, she or it affirms
that, except as is otherwise specifically provided herein, it is his, her or its intention to fully, finally and forever settle and release
any and all Claims. In furtherance of this intention, each of the Stockholders acknowledges that the releases contained herein shall be
and remain in effect as full and complete general releases notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional facts or
different understandings of law. Each Stockholder knowingly and voluntarily waives and releases any and all rights and benefits arising
out of Stockholder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company that he, she or it may now have, or in the future may have, under
Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (or any analogous Law of any other state), which reads as follows:

 

“A GENERAL
RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME
OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED
PARTY.”

 

Each Stockholder understands
that Section 1542, or a comparable Law of another jurisdiction, gives such Stockholder the right not to release existing claims of which
the Stockholder is not aware, unless the Stockholder voluntarily chooses to waive this right. Having been so apprised, each Stockholder
nevertheless hereby voluntarily elects to and does waive the rights described in Section 1542, or such other comparable Law, and elects
to assume all risks for claims that exist, existed or may hereafter exist in its favor, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, arising
out of or related to claims or other matters purported to be released pursuant to this Section 5, in each case, effective at the
Closing. Each Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing waiver is an essential and material term of the release provided
pursuant to this Section 5 and that, without such waiver, Acquiror would not have agreed to the terms of this Agreement.

 

    -8-

     

    

 

(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 5 or anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Stockholder or any of its Affiliates
releases or discharges, and each Stockholder expressly does not release or discharge, any Claims: (i) that arise under or are based
upon the terms of the Merger Agreement, any of the Ancillary Agreements, any Letter of Transmittal or any other document, certificate
or Contract executed or delivered in connection with the Merger Agreement; or (ii) for indemnification, contribution, set-off, reimbursement
or similar rights pursuant to any certificate of incorporation, indemnification agreement or bylaws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
with respect to such Stockholder, any of its Affiliates or their respective designated members of the board of directors of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries solely to the extent set forth in Section 5.4 of the Merger Agreement.

 

(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as an admission by any
party hereto of any liability of any kind to any other party hereto.

 

Section 6 Convertible
Equity Instruments Amendment. The Company and each Stockholder that is a holder of Convertible Equity Instruments agrees that in
accordance with Section 4(b) therein, and together with (when delivered) the consent agreement of the holders listed on Schedule
8.2(f) of the Merger Agreement, to be entered into by such holders and the Company following the execution and delivery of the
Merger Agreement and prior to the Closing, the Convertible Equity Instruments are hereby amended to the extent necessary such that,
if the Closing occurs, all the Convertible Equity Instruments shall automatically (without any further action on the part of the
Company, such Stockholder or any other investor or other holder of a Convertible Equity Instrument) convert into shares of Company
Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time in accordance with Section 2.1(a) of the Merger Agreement, and for the
avoidance of doubt, if the Closing occurs, the Stockholders waive the right in the proviso to Section 2(b) of the Convertible Equity
Instruments to convert into cash in connection with a Change of Control or Dissolution Event with respect to the Transactions. Any
other provisions of the Convertible Equity Instruments that have not been amended hereby shall remain in full force and effect.

 

Section 7. Lock-Up
Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the undersigned represents, warrants, agrees and acknowledges that the Lock-Up Agreement
delivered by the undersigned to the Acquiror on or prior to the date of this Amendment shall, upon execution of this Amendment,
remain binding upon the holder of shares of Company Capital Stock signatory thereto in accordance with its terms and, upon the
Closing, shall be effective in accordance with its terms.

herein, together with the Merger Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which a Stockholder is a party constitute the entire agreement
among the parties to this Agreement with respect to the Transactions and supersede any other agreements whether written or oral, that
may have been made or entered into by or among any of the parties hereto or any of their respective Subsidiaries relating to the subject
matter hereof. No representations, warranties, covenants, understandings, agreements, oral or otherwise, relating to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement exist between such parties except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Merger Agreement and each
Ancillary Agreement to which a Stockholder is a party.

 

8.4. Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Sections 10.7 and 10.14 of the Merger Agreement shall apply to this Agreement
mutatis mutandis.

 

8.5. Amendments.
This Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part, only by a duly authorized agreement in writing executed in the same manner
as this Agreement and which makes reference to this Agreement.

 

8.6. Failure
or Delay Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No provision of this Agreement may be waived except by a written instrument signed by the
party against whom such waiver is to be effective. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set
forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer on behalf of such party. No failure or delay on the
party of any party in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence in,
any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or of any other right. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and
not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise available.

 

    -11-

     

    

 

8.7. Assignment.
Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by
operation of Law or otherwise by any Stockholder without the prior written consent of Acquiror. Acquiror may assign its rights, interests
or obligations under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates in conjunction with a valid assignment of its rights, interests or obligations
under the Merger Agreement. Any purported assignment in violation of the preceding two sentences shall be null and void ab initio.
Subject to this Section 8.7, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their
respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

8.8. Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions
of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent,
held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to
render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary,
shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a
valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the parties.

 

8.9. Enforcement.

 

(a) Stockholder
expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) it is receiving good and valuable consideration sufficient to make this Agreement, and each
of the terms herein, binding and fully enforceable, each of the restrictions contained in this Agreement are supported by adequate consideration
and are reasonable in all respects (including with respect to subject matter, time period and geographical area) and such restrictions
are necessary to protect Acquiror’s interest in, and value of, the Company’s business (including the goodwill inherent therein)
and (ii) Acquiror would not have entered into the Merger Agreement and this Agreement or consummate the transactions contemplated thereby
or hereby without the restrictions contained in this Agreement.

 

(b) The
parties hereto agree that irreparable damage could occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed
in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an
injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specific enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Agreement,
in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in equity. In the event that any Action shall be brought in equity
to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no party shall allege, and each party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate
remedy at law, and each party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection therewith.

 

(c) The
parties hereto further agree that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 8.9, Acquiror shall not in any respect
waive its rights to seek any other form of relief that may be available to it under this Agreement (including damages) in the event that
this Agreement has been terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 8.9 are not available or otherwise
are not granted, and (ii) nothing set forth in this Agreement shall require Acquiror to institute any Action for (or limit Acquiror’s
right to institute any Action for) specific performance under this Section 8.9 prior to pursuing any other form of relief referred
to in the preceding clause (i).

 

    -12-

     

    

 

8.10. Costs
and Expenses. Each party to this Agreement will pay his, her or its own costs and expenses (including legal, accounting and other
fees) relating to the negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

 

8.11. No
Joint Venture. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed as creating a joint venture or partnership between
any of the parties hereto. Except as provided otherwise in Section 2, no party is by virtue of this Agreement authorized as an
agent, employee or legal representative of any other party. Without in any way limiting the rights or obligations of any party hereto
under this Agreement and except as provided otherwise in Section 2, prior to the Effective Time, (i) no party shall have the power
by virtue of this Agreement to control the activities and operations of any other and (ii) no party shall have any power or authority
by virtue of this Agreement to bind or commit any other party. No party shall hold itself out as having any authority or relationship
in contravention of this Section 8.11.

 

8.12. Publicity.

 

(a) All
press releases or other public communications of any Stockholder relating to this Agreement and the Transactions shall be subject to the
prior written approval of Acquiror, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that no Stockholder shall be required
to obtain consent pursuant to this Section 8.12(a) to the extent any proposed release or statement is substantially equivalent
to the information that has previously been made public without breach of the obligation under this Section 8.12(a); provided,
however, nothing herein shall prohibit Stockholder from indicating that it was an early investor in the Company.

 

(b) The
restriction in Section 8.12(a) shall not apply to the extent the public announcement is required by applicable securities Law,
any Governmental Authority or stock exchange rule; provided, however, that in such an event, the Stockholder making the announcement shall
use its reasonable efforts to consult with Acquiror in advance as to its form, content and timing.

 

8.13. Termination.
This Agreement shall terminate on the earlier to occur of (a) the Effective Time or (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement
in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that no termination of this Agreement shall relieve or release any Stockholder
from any obligations or liabilities arising out of such Stockholder’s breaches of this Agreement prior to such termination.

 

8.14. Capacity
as Stockholder. Each Stockholder signs this Agreement solely in such Stockholder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company,
and not in such Stockholder’s capacity as a director (including “director by deputization”), board observer, officer
or employee of the Company, if applicable. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit or affect any actions or inactions by such Stockholder
or any representative of Stockholder, as applicable, serving as a director of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, acting in
such person’s capacity as a director of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (it being understood and agreed that the Merger
Agreement contains provisions that govern the actions or inactions by the directors of the Company with respect to the Merger and the
other Transactions).

 

8.15 References
to the Stockholder Support Agreement. After the date of this Agreement, all references to “this Agreement,” “the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement,” “the Stockholder Support Agreement” and phrases of similar import, shall
refer to the Amended and Restated Stockholder Support Agreement (it being understood that all references to “the date hereof”
or “the date of this Agreement” shall continue to refer to February 17, 2021).

in interest, the principal sum of Two Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,300,000.00) in lawful money of the United States of America,
on the terms and conditions described below. All payments on this Note shall be made by check or wire transfer of immediately available
funds or as otherwise determined by Maker to such account as Payee may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with

1. Principal.
The principal balance of this Note shall be payable by Maker on the date on which Maker consummates its initial business combination
(the “Business Combination”). The principal balance may be prepaid at any time. Under no circumstances shall any individual,
including but not limited to any officer, director, employee or stockholder of Maker, be obligated personally for any obligations or liabilities
of Maker hereunder.

 

2. Interest.
No interest shall accrue or be charged by Payee on the unpaid principal balance of this Note.

 

3. Funding.
On the date hereof (the “Funding Date”), Payee shall pay $2,300,000 which funds shall be deposited into Maker’s
trust account (the “Trust Account”) and distributed either to: (i) all of the holders of Maker’s Class A common
stock (the “Public Shares”) upon Maker’s liquidation or (ii) holders of Public Shares who elect to have their
shares redeemed in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

4. Application
of Payments. All payments shall be applied first to payment in full of any costs incurred in the collection of any sum due under this
Note, including (without limitation) reasonable attorney’s fees and then to the payment in full of any late charges and finally

the date specified above.

 

(b) Voluntary

or other similar law, or the consent by it to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian,
sequestrator (or other similar official) of Maker or for any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of any assignment for
the benefit of creditors, or the failure of Maker generally to pay its debts as such debts become due, or the taking of corporate action
by Maker in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

 

(c) Involuntary
Bankruptcy, Etc. The entry of a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of Maker in an
involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian,

of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days.

 

     

     

    

 

6. Remedies.

 

(a) Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a) hereof, Payee may, by written notice to Maker, declare this Note to be
due immediately and payable, whereupon the unpaid principal amount of this Note, and all other amounts payable hereunder, shall become
immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived,
anything contained herein or in the documents evidencing the same to the contrary notwithstanding.

 

(b) Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Sections 5(b) or 5(c), the unpaid principal balance of this Note, and all other sums
payable with regard to this Note, shall automatically and immediately become due and payable, in all cases without any action on the part
of Payee.

 

7. Waivers.
Maker and all endorsers and guarantors of, and sureties for, this Note waive presentment for payment, demand, notice of dishonor,
protest, and notice of protest with regard to the Note, all errors, defects and imperfections in any proceedings instituted by Payee under
the terms of this Note, and all benefits that might accrue to Maker by virtue of any present or future laws exempting any property, real
or personal, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale of any such property, from attachment, levy or sale under execution, or
providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process, or extension of time for payment; and Maker agrees that any real estate
that may be levied upon pursuant to a judgment obtained by virtue hereof, or any writ of execution issued hereon, may be sold upon any
such writ in whole or in part in any order desired by Payee.

 

8. Unconditional
Liability. Maker hereby waives all notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or enforcement of the
payment of this Note, and agrees that its liability shall be unconditional, without regard to the liability of any other party, and shall
not be affected in any manner by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver or modification granted or consented to by Payee,
and consents to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by Payee with respect to the payment
or other provisions of this Note, and agrees that additional makers, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties may become parties hereto without
notice to Maker or affecting Maker’s liability hereunder.

of written confirmation, if sent by facsimile or electronic transmission, one (1) business day after delivery to an overnight courier
service or five (5) days after mailing if sent by mail.

PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

 

11. Severability.
Any provision contained in this Note which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

12. Trust

in or to any distribution of or from the Trust Account, and hereby agrees not to seek recourse, reimbursement, payment or satisfaction
for any Claim against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever; provided, however, that if Maker completes a Business Combination,
Maker shall repay the principal balance of this Note, which may be out of the proceeds released to Maker from the Trust Account.
