with respect to the sale by the Company and the purchase by BofA of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001
per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) set forth in Schedule A hereto. The aforesaid 36,057,692 shares of Common Stock

The Company understands that
BofA proposes to make a public offering of the Securities as soon as BofA deems advisable after this Agreement has been executed and delivered.
Ayar Third Investment Company (“Ayar”) has agreed to purchase 55,000 shares of Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred

Uber Agreement) with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Uber Investment” and, together with the Ayar Investment,
the “Concurrent Investments”).
The Company has prepared and
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3
(File No. 333-295033) covering the public offering and sale of certain securities, including the Securities, under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “1933 Act Regulations”),
which automatic shelf registration statement became effective under Rule 462(e) under the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 462(e)”).
Such registration statement, as of any time, means such registration statement as amended by any post-effective amendments thereto to
such time, including the exhibits and any schedules thereto at such time, the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference
therein at such time pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof as
of such time pursuant to Rule 430B under the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 430B”), and is referred to herein as the
“Registration Statement;” provided, however, that the “Registration Statement” without reference to a time means
such registration statement as amended by any post-effective amendments thereto as of the time of the first contract of sale for the Securities,
which time shall be considered the “new effective date” of such registration statement with respect to the Securities within
the meaning of paragraph (f)(2) of Rule 430B, including the exhibits and schedules thereto as of such time, the documents incorporated
or deemed incorporated by reference therein at such time pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act and the documents otherwise
deemed to be a part thereof as of such time pursuant to Rule 430B. The base prospectus included in the Registration Statement at
the time of its effectiveness used in connection with the offering of the Securities, including the documents incorporated or deemed to
be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act, are collectively referred to herein as the
“preliminary prospectus.” Promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will prepare and file a final
prospectus relating to the Securities in accordance with the provisions of Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 424(b)”).
The final prospectus, in the form first furnished or made available to BofA for use in connection with the offering of the Securities,
including the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the
1933 Act, are collectively referred to herein as the “Prospectus.” For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration
Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include
the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (or any successor system)
(“EDGAR”).
As used in this Agreement:
“Applicable
Time” means 7:20 A.M., New York City time, on April 14, 2026.

“Issuer Free
Writing Prospectus” means any “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 of the 1933 Act Regulations
(“Rule 433”), including, without limitation, any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 of
the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 405”)) relating to the Securities that is (i) required to be filed with the Commission
by the Company, (ii) a “road show that is a written communication” within the meaning of Rule 433(d)(8)(i), whether
or not required to be filed with the Commission, or (iii) exempt from filing with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d)(5)(i) because
it contains a description of the Securities or of the offering that does not reflect the final terms, in each case in the form filed or
required to be filed with the Commission or, if not required to be filed, in the form retained in the Company’s records pursuant
to Rule 433(g).
“Issuer General
Use Free Writing Prospectus” means any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is intended for general distribution to prospective investors
(other than a “bona fide electronic road show,” as defined in Rule 433), as evidenced by its being specified in

SECTION 1. Representations
and Warranties.
(a) Representations
and Warranties by the Company. The Company represents and warrants to BofA as of the date hereof, the Applicable Time and the Closing
Time (as defined below), and agrees with BofA, as follows:
(i) Registration
Statement and Prospectuses. The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act. The Registration Statement
is an “automatic shelf registration statement” (as defined in Rule 405) and the Securities have been and remain eligible
for registration by the Company on such automatic shelf registration statement. Each of the Registration Statement and any post-effective
amendment thereto has become effective under the 1933 Act. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or
any post-effective amendment thereto has been issued under the 1933 Act, no order preventing or suspending the use of the preliminary
prospectus or the Prospectus has been issued and no proceedings for any of those purposes have been instituted or are pending or, to the
Company’s knowledge, contemplated. The Company has complied with each request (if any) from the Commission for additional information.
Each of the Registration
Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, at the time of its effectiveness, each deemed effective date with respect to BofA
pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) under the 1933 Act Regulations, the Applicable Time, the Closing Time complied and will comply in
all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations. The preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus and
any amendment or supplement thereto, at the time each was filed with the Commission, and, in each case, at the Applicable Time, the Closing
Time complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act Regulations and the preliminary prospectus
and the Prospectus delivered to BofA for use in connection with this offering was identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof
filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.
The documents incorporated
or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus, when they became
effective or at the time they were or hereafter are filed with the Commission, complied and will comply in all material respects with
the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1934 Act (the “1934 Act Regulations”).
(ii) Accurate
Disclosure. Neither the Registration Statement nor any amendment thereto, at its effective time, on the date hereof or at the Closing
Time, contained, contains or will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. At the Applicable Time and at the Closing Time
neither (A) the General Disclosure Package nor (B) any individual Issuer Limited Use Free Writing Prospectus, when considered
together with the General Disclosure Package when considered together with the General Disclosure Package, included, includes or will
include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Neither the Prospectus nor any amendment
or supplement thereto, as of its issue date, at the time of any filing with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), at the Closing
Time, included, includes or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The documents
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus,
at the time the Registration Statement became effective or when such documents incorporated by reference were filed with the Commission,
as the case may be, when read together with the other information in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the
Prospectus, as the case may be, did not and will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
3
The representations
and warranties in this subsection shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto),
the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) made in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by BofA expressly for use therein. For purposes of this Agreement, the only information so
furnished shall be the information under the heading “Underwriting–Commissions and Discounts,” the information under
the heading “Underwriting–Short Positions” and the information under the heading “Underwriting–Electronic
Distribution” in each case contained in the Prospectus (collectively, the “Underwriter Information”).
(iii) Issuer
Free Writing Prospectuses. No Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus, including any document incorporated by reference therein, and any preliminary or other prospectus deemed
to be a part thereof that has not been superseded or modified. Any offer that is a written communication relating to the Securities made
prior to the initial filing of the Registration Statement by the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this
paragraph only, of Rule 163(c) of the 1933 Act Regulations) has been filed with the Commission in accordance with the exemption
provided by Rule 163 under the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 163”) and otherwise complied with the requirements of
Rule 163, including without limitation the legending requirement, to qualify such offer for the exemption from Section 5(c) of
the 1933 Act provided by Rule 163.
(iv) Well-Known
Seasoned Issuer. (A) At the original effectiveness of the Registration Statement, (B) at the time of the most recent amendment
thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment,
incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act or form of prospectus), (C) at the time the Company
or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) under the 1933 Act) made any offer
relating to the Securities in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 under the 1933 Act, and (D) as of the Applicable Time, the
Company was and is a “well-known seasoned issuer” (as defined in Rule 405).
(v) Company
Not Ineligible Issuer. At the time of filing the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, at the earliest
time thereafter that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) of
the 1933 Act Regulations) of the Securities and at the date hereof, the Company was not and is not an “ineligible issuer,”
as defined in Rule 405, without taking account of any determination by the Commission pursuant to Rule 405 that it is not necessary
that the Company be considered an ineligible issuer.
(vi) Independent
Accountants. The accountants (the “Accountants”) who certified the financial statements and supporting schedules included
in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus are independent public accountants as required by the
1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
4
(vii) Financial
Statements. The financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package
and the Prospectus, together with the related schedules and notes, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries at the dates indicated and the statement of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash
flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for the periods specified; said financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved.
The supporting schedules, if any, present fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with GAAP the information required to be stated
therein. The summary financial information included in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus present
fairly, in all material respects, the information shown therein and have been compiled on a basis consistent with that of the audited
financial statements included therein. Except as included therein, no historical or pro forma financial statements or supporting schedules
are required to be included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus
under the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations or the 1934 Act Regulations.
(viii) No
Material Adverse Change in Business. Except as otherwise stated therein, since the respective dates as of which information is given
in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package, or the Prospectus, (A) there has been no material adverse change or
any development involving a prospective material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business
or management of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business
(a “Material Adverse Effect”), (B) there have been no transactions entered into by the Company or any of its subsidiaries,
other than those in the ordinary course of business, which are material with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries considered as
one enterprise, and (C) there has been no dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made by the Company on any class
of its capital stock.
(ix) Good
Standing of the Company. The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws
of the State of Delaware and has corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as
described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and to enter into and perform its obligations
under this Agreement; and the Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each
other jurisdiction (to the extent such concept or functional equivalent is applicable in such jurisdiction) in which such qualification
is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure so to qualify
or to be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(x) Good
Standing of Subsidiaries. Each “significant subsidiary” of the Company (as such term is defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation
S-X) (each, a “Subsidiary” and, collectively, the “Subsidiaries”) has been duly organized and is validly existing
in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization (to the extent such concept or functional equivalent
is applicable in such jurisdiction), has corporate or similar power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct
its business as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and is duly qualified to transact
business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction (to the extent such concept or functional equivalent is applicable in such jurisdiction)
in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except
where the failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as otherwise disclosed
in the Registration Statement, General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each Subsidiary
has been duly authorized and validly issued, is fully paid and non-assessable and is owned by the Company, directly or through subsidiaries,
free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance, claim or equity. None of the outstanding shares of capital
stock of any Subsidiary was issued in violation of the preemptive or similar rights of any securityholder of such Subsidiary. The only
Subsidiaries of the Company are the Subsidiaries listed on Exhibit 21.1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the Commission.
5
(xi) Capitalization.
The authorized capital stock of the Company conforms as to legal matters to the description thereof contained in the Registration Statement,
the General Disclosure Package, and the Prospectus. All outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been duly authorized and
validly issued in accordance with the Bylaws, fully paid and non-assessable and conform as to legal matters to the description thereof
contained in or incorporated by reference into the Prospectus; and the stockholders of the Company have no preemptive rights with respect
to the Securities. As of the date of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, except as disclosed in the Registration
Statement, the General Disclosure Package, and the Prospectus, neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has outstanding any options
to purchase, or any preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, any securities or obligations convertible into,
or any contracts or commitments to issue or sell, shares of its capital stock or any such options, rights, convertible securities or obligations.
All outstanding shares of capital stock and options and other rights to acquire capital stock have been issued in compliance with the
registration and qualification provisions of all applicable securities laws and were not issued in violation of any preemptive rights,
rights of first refusal or other similar rights.
(xii) Authorization
of Agreement. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.
(xiii) Securities.
The Securities to be offered by the Company hereunder have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered and paid for as provided
herein, will be duly and validly issued in accordance with the third amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Company,
as subsequently amended from time to time, and the second amended and restated bylaws of the Company, as subsequently amended from time
to time, and will be fully paid and non-assessable and will conform to the description thereof in the Registration Statement, the General
Disclosure Package and the Prospectus; and no such issuance of Securities is subject to any statutory, preemptive or other similar contractual
rights to subscribe for the Securities.
(xiv) Registration
Rights. There are no persons with registration rights or other similar rights to have any securities of the Company registered for
sale or sold by the Company under the 1933 Act, other than those rights that have been disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General
Disclosure Package or the Prospectus. No person has the right to include any securities in the Securities to be sold in the offering contemplated
by this Agreement, except for any such right that has been complied with or duly waived.
6
(xv) Absence
of Violations, Defaults and Conflicts. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is (A) in material violation of its charter,
by-laws or similar organizational document, (B) in default in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant
or condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement, note, lease or other agreement or
instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of them may be bound or to which any of the
properties or assets of the Company or any subsidiary is subject (collectively, “Agreements and Instruments”), except for
such defaults that would not, singly or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (C) in violation of any law, statute,
rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree of any arbitrator, court, governmental body, regulatory body, administrative agency
or other authority, body or agency having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties,
assets or operations (each, a “Governmental Entity”), except for such violations that would not, singly or in the aggregate,
result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of its charter, by-laws or similar
organizational document. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
herein and in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (including the issuance and sale of the Securities
and the use of the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities as described therein under the caption “Use of Proceeds”)
and compliance by the Company with its obligations hereunder and thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action
and do not and will not, whether with or without the giving of notice or passage of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach
of, or default or Repayment Event (as defined below) under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance
upon any properties or assets of the Company or any subsidiary pursuant to, the Agreements and Instruments (except for such conflicts,
breaches, defaults or Repayment Events or liens, charges or encumbrances that would not, singly or in the aggregate, result in a Material
Adverse Effect), nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of (i) the charter, by-laws or similar organizational
document of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) any law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree of
any Governmental Entity, except, with respect to clause (ii), such violations as would not reasonably be expected to, singly or in the
aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. As used herein, a “Repayment Event” means any event or condition which gives
the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to
require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness, prior to its stated maturity, by the Company
or any of its subsidiaries.
(xvi) Absence
of Labor Dispute. No labor dispute with the employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries exists or, to the knowledge of the
Company, is imminent, and the Company is not aware of any existing or imminent labor disturbance by the employees of any of its or any
subsidiary’s principal suppliers, manufacturers, customers or contractors, which, in either case, would result in a Material Adverse
Effect.
(xvii) Absence
of Proceedings. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there is no

(xxiv) Accounting
Controls and Disclosure Controls. The Company and each of its subsidiaries maintain effective internal control over financial reporting

the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or
submits under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s

able (A) to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire or (B) to obtain comparable coverage from
similar institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted and at a cost that would not result in
a Material Adverse Effect. Neither of the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has been denied any insurance coverage which it has sought

to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433 unless it obtains the prior written consent
of BofA; provided that BofA will be deemed to have consented to the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses listed on Schedule B-2 hereto and
any “road show that is a written communication” within the meaning of Rule 433(d)(8)(i) that has been reviewed by
BofA. The Company represents that it has treated or agrees that it will treat each such free writing prospectus consented to, or deemed
consented to, by BofA as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and that it has complied and will
comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 433 with respect thereto, including timely filing with the Commission where required,
legending and record keeping. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event
or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in
the Registration Statement, the preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or included or would include an untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
existing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify BofA and will promptly amend or supplement, at its
own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.
(l) No
Amendment, Modification, Termination or Waiver of Concurrent Agreements. Prior to the closing of the Concurrent Investments, the Company
agrees that, without prior written consent of BofA, the Company will not, amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of (i) the
Ayar Agreement relating to the economic terms of the Ayar Investment or (ii) the Uber Agreement relating to the economic terms of
the Uber Investment, in each case, as disclosed in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, and will use all commercially reasonable
efforts to consummate the closing contemplated by the Ayar Agreement and the Uber Agreement in accordance with their respective terms.
In addition, the Company agrees that, during a period of 60 days from the date of the Prospectus, without the prior written consent of
BofA, the Company will not amend, modify, terminate or waive Section 5.06 of the Ayar Agreement, Section 5.06 of the Uber Agreement
or Section 5.06 of the Subscription Agreement, dated as of July 16, 2025, by and between the Company and SMB Holdings Corporation.

SECTION 6. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification
of BofA. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless BofA, its affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 501(b) under
the 1933 Act (each, an “Affiliate”)), its selling agents and employees and each person, if any, who controls BofA within the
meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:
(i) against
any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including any information deemed to be
a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact included (A) in the preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus
(or any amendment or supplement thereto), or (B) in any materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of,
the Company in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Securities (“Marketing Materials”), including any roadshow
or investor presentations made to investors by the Company (whether in person or electronically), or the omission or alleged omission
in the preliminary prospectus, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Prospectus or in any Marketing Materials of a material fact necessary
in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(ii) against
any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement
of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever
based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 6(d) below)
any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company;
19
(iii) against
any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by BofA), reasonably incurred in investigating,
preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened,
or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent
that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;
provided, however, that this indemnity agreement
shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged
untrue statement or omission made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including any information deemed to be a part
thereof pursuant to Rule 430B, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance
upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information.
(b) Indemnification
of Company, Directors and Officers. BofA agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who
signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933
Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained
in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements
or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant
to Rule 430B, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity
with the Underwriter Information.
(c) Actions
against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying
party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying
party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result
thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement.
In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(a) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by BofA,
and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(b) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected
by the Company. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel
to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no
event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate
from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the
same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written
consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any
investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification
or contribution could be sought under this Section 6 or Section 7 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual
or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified
party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement
as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(d) Settlement
without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse
the indemnified party for reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable
for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 6(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement
is entered into more than 90 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party
shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 60 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such
indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.
20
SECTION 7. Contribution.
If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified
party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute
to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and BofA, on the other hand,
from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted
by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above
but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of BofA, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative benefits received
by the Company, on the one hand, and BofA, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement
shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this
Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, on the one hand, and the difference between (x) the aggregate price
to the public received by BofA and (y) the aggregate price paid by BofA to the Company for the Securities, on the other hand, bear
to the aggregate price to the public received by BofA.
The relative fault of the
Company, on the one hand, and BofA, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied
by the Company or by BofA and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission.
The Company and BofA agree
that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any
other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7. The aggregate
amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 7
shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending
against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever
based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
Notwithstanding the provisions
of this Section 7, BofA shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting commissions received by BofA
in connection with the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public.
No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who
was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
For purposes of this Section 7,
each person, if any, who controls BofA within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and BofA’s
Affiliates and selling agents shall have the same rights to contribution as BofA, and each director of the Company, each officer of the
Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15
of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.
21
SECTION 8. Representations,
Warranties and Agreements to Survive. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates
of officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless
of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of BofA or its Affiliates or selling agents, any person controlling BofA, its officers
or directors or any person controlling the Company and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Securities.
SECTION 9. Termination
of Agreement.
(a) Termination.
BofA may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to the Closing Time (i) if there has been, in
the judgment of BofA, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in
the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition, financial
or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise,
whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial
markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity
or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions,
in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of BofA, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the completion
of the offering or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has
been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the Nasdaq Global Select Market, or (iv) if trading generally on the NYSE
American or the New York Stock Exchange or in the Nasdaq Global Select Market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or
maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by order of the
Commission, FINRA or any other governmental authority, or (v) a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities
settlement or clearance services in the United States or with respect to Clearstream or Euroclear systems in Europe, or (vi) if a
banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities.
(b) Liabilities.
If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party
except as provided in Section 4 hereof, and provided further that Sections 1, 6, 7, 8, 14, 15, 16 and 17 shall survive such termination
and remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 10. Reserved.
SECTION 11. Notices.
All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted

New York 10036, with a copy to Attention: ECM Legal (email: dg.ecm_legal@bofa.com), and, if sent to the Company, shall be directed to

22
SECTION 12. No
Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant
to this Agreement, including the determination of the initial public offering price of the Securities and any related discounts and commissions,
is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and BofA, on the other hand, (b) in connection
with the offering of the Securities and the process leading thereto, BofA is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the
agent or fiduciary of the Company, any of its subsidiaries or their respective stockholders, creditors, employees or any other party,
(c) BofA has not assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering
of the Securities or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether BofA has advised or is currently advising the Company or any
of its subsidiaries on other matters) and BofA has no obligation to the Company with respect to the offering of the Securities except
the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (d) BofA and its affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions
that involve interests that differ from those of the Company, (e) BofA has not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory, investment
or tax advice with respect to the offering of the Securities and the Company has consulted its own respective legal, accounting, financial,
regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and (f) none of the activities of BofA in connection with the transactions
contemplated herein constitutes a recommendation, investment advice or solicitation of any action by BofA with respect to any entity or
natural person.
SECTION 13. Authorized
Disclosure. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company is authorized to disclose to any persons the U.S. federal
and state income tax treatment and tax structure of the potential transaction and all materials of any kind provided to the Company relating
to that treatment and structure, without the Underwriters imposing any limitation of any kind. However, any information relating to the
tax treatment and tax structure shall remain confidential (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent necessary to enable
any person to comply with securities laws. For this purpose, “tax structure” is limited to any facts that may be relevant
to that treatment.
SECTION 14. Recognition
of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.
(a) In
the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer
from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent
as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were
governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(b) In
the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under
a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to
be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement
were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

As the Underwriter named in the Underwriting Agreement
Re: Proposed
Public Offering by Lucid Group, Inc.
Dear Sirs and Madams:
The undersigned, a stockholder and/or an officer and/or a director
of Lucid Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), understands that BofA Securities Inc. (“BofA”)
proposes to enter into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with the Company providing for an underwritten
public offering (the “Public Offering”) of the Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the
“Common Stock”). In recognition of the benefit that such an offering will confer upon the undersigned as a stockholder and/or
an officer and/or a director of the Company, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with BofA that, during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date that is 60
days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Lock-up Period”), the undersigned will not, without the prior written
consent of BofA (the “Lock-Up Release Agent”), (i) directly or indirectly, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell
any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise
transfer or dispose of any shares of Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power
of disposition (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”), or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any of
the Lock-up Securities, or file, cause to be filed or cause to be confidentially submitted any registration statement in connection therewith,
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers,
in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such swap or
transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may transfer the Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent of the Lock-Up
Release Agent, provided that in the case of any transfer of Lock-Up Securities pursuant to clauses (i) through (vii) set
forth below, (1) BofA receives a signed lock-up agreement for the balance of the Lock-Up Period from each donee, trustee, distributee,
or transferee, as the case may be, (2) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (3) any required public
report or filing (including filings under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”)) shall disclose the nature of such transfer and that the Lock-Up Securities remain subject to this lock-up agreement, and
(4) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding such transfers:
(i) by will, other testamentary document or intestacy; or
A-1
(ii) as a bona fide gift or gifts, including to charitable organizations or for bona fide estate planning
purposes; or
(iii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned
(for purposes of this lock-up agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not
more remote than first cousin), or if the undersigned is a trust, to a trustor or beneficiary of the trust or to the estate of a beneficiary
of such trust; or
(iv) to a partnership, limited liability company or other entity of which the undersigned and the immediate
family of the undersigned are the legal and beneficial owner of all of the outstanding equity securities or similar interests; or
(v) if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity,
(A) to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity that is an affiliate (as defined
in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the undersigned, or to any investment fund or other entity
controlling, controlled by, managing or managed by or under common control with the undersigned or affiliates of the undersigned (including,
for the avoidance of doubt, where the undersigned is a partnership, to its general partner or a successor partnership or fund, or any
other funds managed by such partnership), or (B) as part of a distribution to members or shareholders of the undersigned; or
(vi) to a nominee or custodian of any person or entity to whom a transfer would be permissible under clauses
(i) through (v) above; or
(vii) in the case of an individual, by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order, divorce
settlement, divorce decree, separation agreement or related court order; or
(viii) from an employee or a director of, or a service provider to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries upon
the death, disability or termination of employment, in each case, of such person; or
(ix) pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction that
is approved by the board of directors of the Company and made to all holders of shares of the Company’s capital stock involving
a Change of Control (as defined below) (including negotiating and entering into an agreement providing for any such transaction), provided
that in the event that such tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction is not completed, the undersigned’s
Lock-Up Securities shall remain subject to this lock-up agreement; or
(x) in connection with the exercise of any stock options or warrants, or the vesting or settlement of any
restricted stock units or other compensatory equity securities in respect of shares of the Company outstanding as of the date hereof for
any payment due for the exercise of options or other rights to purchase securities of the Company (including, in each case, by way of
a “cashless” or “net exercise”) and to cover tax withholding obligations or taxes due (including estimated taxes
and remittance payments) in connection with such vesting, settlement or exercise (including by means of a “net settlement,”
“sell to cover” or otherwise); provided that any shares received upon any exercise or settlement of such equity awards (after
giving effect to any net or cashless exercise or sell-to-cover transaction pursuant to this clause (x)) will remain subject to this lock-up
agreement;
A-2
(xi) pursuant to trading plans established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act prior
to the date hereof; or
(xii) [in connection with the conversion of any Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock or Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, provided that any such shares of Common Stock received upon such exercise,
vesting, settlement or conversion shall be subject to the terms of this lock-up agreement.]1
Furthermore, the undersigned
may enter into a trading plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act during the Lock-Up Period so long
as no transfers are effected under such trading plan prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period.
The undersigned may sell shares
of Common Stock of the Company purchased by the undersigned on the open market following the Public Offering if and only if (i) such
sales are not required to be reported in any public report or filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or otherwise and (ii) the
undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding such sales.
For purposes of this lock-up agreement, “Change
of Control” means the transfer to or acquisition by (whether by tender offer, merger, consolidation, division or other similar transaction),
in one transaction or a series of related transactions, a person or entity or group of affiliated persons or entities (other than an underwriter
pursuant to an offering), of the Company’s voting securities if, after such transfer or acquisition, such person, entity or group
of affiliated persons or entities would beneficially own (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) more than
90% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company.
The undersigned also agrees
and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of
the Lock-Up Securities except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
For the avoidance of doubt,
this lock-up agreement shall not be deemed to prohibit the Company from amending or supplementing its existing resale registration statements.
Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, this lock-up agreement will automatically terminate and the undersigned shall be released from all obligations
hereunder upon the earliest to occur of (A) the Company advising BofA in writing that it has determined not to proceed with the Public
Offering, (B) the Underwriting Agreement being executed but then terminated (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination)
prior to payment for and delivery of any Common Stock to be sold thereunder, or (C) June 30, 2026, if the Underwriting Agreement
does not become effective by such date.
Very truly yours,

In rendering the opinion
stated herein, we have examined and relied upon the following:
(a) the
registration statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-295033) of the Company relating
to Common Stock of the Company filed on April 14, 2026 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
under the Securities Act allowing for delayed offerings pursuant to Rule 415 of the General Rules and Regulations under the
Securities Act (the “Rules and Regulations”), including the information deemed to be a part of the registration
statement pursuant to Rule 430B of the Rules and Regulations being hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement”);
(b) the
prospectus, dated April 14, 2026 (the “Base Prospectus”), which forms a part of and is included in the Registration
Statement;
(c) the
prospectus supplement, dated April 14, 2026 (together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”), relating to
the offering of the Shares, in the form filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations;
(d) an
executed copy of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), dated April 14, 2026, between the
Company and BofA Securities, Inc. (the “Underwriter”), relating to the sale by the Company to the Underwriter
of the Shares;
(e) an
executed copy of a certificate of Brian K. Tomkiel, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of the Company, dated the date hereof (the
“Secretary’s Certificate”);
(f) a
copy of the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation certified by the Secretary of State of the State

make this assumption with respect to the Organizational Documents or those agreements or instruments expressed to be governed by the
laws of the State of New York which are listed in Part II of the Registration Statement or the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, although we have assumed compliance with any covenant, restriction or provision
with respect to financial ratios or tests or any aspect of the financial condition or results of operations of the Company contained
in such agreements or instruments); and
(b) the
Company’s authorized capital stock is as set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, and we have relied solely on the certified
copy thereof issued by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and have not made any other inquiries or investigations.
