Business Combination Agreement
General Description of the Business Combination
Agreement
On June 25, 2026, Launch Two Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“SPAC”
or “Launch Two”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”)
with NuCube Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors, “NuCube” or the “Company”),
Tesseract Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of SPAC (“Merger Sub”), Jay
McEntee, in the capacity as the representative, from and after the Effective Time (as defined below), for the shareholders of SPAC as
of immediately prior to the Effective Time and their successors and assigns (other than the Company Stockholders) and IdealabAZ, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation, in the capacity as representative, from and after the Effective Time, for the Company Stockholders as of immediately
prior to the Effective Time (the “Seller Representative”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Business Combination Agreement.
Pursuant to the Business Combination
Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) on or prior to the closing (the “Closing”,
and the date and time of the Closing, the “Closing Date”) of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination
Agreement (the “Business Combination”), SPAC will de-register from the Register of Companies of the Cayman Islands
and transfer by way of continuation out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware so as to re-domicile as and become a Delaware
corporation pursuant to Part 12 of the Companies Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands and the applicable provisions of the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”); and (ii) following the Domestication, (A) Merger Sub will
merge with and into NuCube, with NuCube continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”) and, as a result of
which, each share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Company Common Stock”) issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) (after giving effect
to the Preferred Conversion (as defined below)) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist
in exchange for the right to receive a number of shares of common stock of SPAC, par value $0.0001 per share (the “SPAC Common
Stock”) equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined below), and (B) prior to the Effective Time, all outstanding shares of preferred
stock of NuCube will either be exchanged for, or convert into, shares of Company Common Stock at the applicable conversion ratio (including
any accrued or declared but unpaid dividends) in accordance with the Company’s organizational documents (the “Preferred
Conversion”). As a result of the Merger and the Business Combination, NuCube will become a wholly owned subsidiary of SPAC,
all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.
At the Effective Time, each
outstanding option (whether vested or unvested) (each, a “Company Option”) to purchase Company Common Stock
will be assumed by and automatically converted into an option for shares of SPAC Common Stock (each, an “Assumed Option”)
subject to the same terms, conditions, vesting schedule and other provisions as are currently applicable to such Company Options; provided
that each Assumed Option will be exercisable for the number of shares of SPAC Common Stock equal to the product of the Exchange Ratio
(as defined below) multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Option as of immediately prior to
the Effective Time, rounded down to the nearest whole number, at an exercise price equal to the quotient of the per share exercise price
of the Company Option divided by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.
At the Effective Time, each warrant to purchase Company Common Stock
(each, a “Company Warrant”) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall
be assumed by SPAC and automatically converted into a warrant for shares of SPAC Common Stock (each, an “Assumed Warrant”).
Each Assumed Warrant will be subject to the same terms, conditions and other provisions as are currently applicable to the applicable
Company Warrant; provided that each Assumed Warrant will be exercisable for the number of shares of SPAC Common Stock equal to
the product of the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Warrant as of immediately
prior to the Effective Time, rounded down to the nearest whole number, at an exercise price equal to the quotient of the per share exercise
price of such Company Warrant divided by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.
1
Consideration
The aggregate consideration
to be delivered to the security holders of NuCube as of the Effective Time will be a number of newly issued shares of SPAC Common Stock
equal to the quotient of (A) $500,000,000 minus the excess of the Company’s expenses (if any) over $5,000,000 (such net amount,
the “Purchase Price”), divided by (B) $10.82 (the “Reference Price”), with
each holder of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Stockholder”) receiving, for each share of Company Common
Stock held immediately prior to the Effective Time (after giving effect to the Preferred Conversion or otherwise treating shares of Company
Preferred Stock on an as-converted to Company Common Stock basis), a number of shares of SPAC Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio,
each holder of Company Options receiving for such holder’s Company Options then held the Assumed Options, and each holder of Company
Warrants receiving for such holder’s Company Warrants then held the Assumed Warrants. The Exchange Ratio refers to the quotient
obtained by dividing (i) the quotient of the Purchase Price divided by the Reference Price by (ii) the Fully Diluted Company Shares (as
defined below) (the “Exchange Ratio”).
The Business Combination Agreement
also provides for an earnout of up to 12,575,000 additional shares of SPAC Common Stock (the “Earnout Shares”)
to Company Stockholders following the Closing. The Earnout Shares will be released from escrow if, during the three-year period following
the Closing, the volume weighted average price of SPAC Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits,
stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations and similar transactions after the Closing) for at least 20 trading days within
any consecutive 30 trading day period (the “Triggering Event”), subject to adjustment as set forth in the Business
Combination Agreement. If the Triggering Event is achieved, 50% of the Earnout Shares will be released 90 days following confirmation
of such Triggering Event (the “Determination Date”), and the remaining 50% of the Earnout Shares will be released
180 days after the Determination Date. If the Triggering Event is not achieved during the Earnout Period, the Earnout Shares will be forfeited
to SPAC and cancelled.
The “Fully Diluted
Company Shares” means, without duplication, (a) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding
as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (after giving effect to the Preferred Conversion), plus (b) the aggregate number
of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon, or pursuant to the conversion of Company SAFEs, plus (c) the aggregate number
of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon, or pursuant to, the exercise of Company Options that are issued and outstanding as of
immediately prior to the Effective Time, treating such outstanding Company Options as having been exercised in full (calculated on a “cashless”
(i.e. net exercise basis), plus (d) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon, or pursuant to, the exercise
of Company Warrants that are issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, treating such Company Warrants as having
been exercised in full (calculated on a “cashless” (i.e., net exercise) basis).
Representations and Warranties
The
Business Combination Agreement contains representations and warranties that are reasonably customary for similar transactions that are
made by the parties as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement, or other specified dates, solely for the benefit of certain
of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, and in certain cases are subject to specified exceptions and materiality, Material
Adverse Effect (as defined below), knowledge and other qualifications contained in the Business Combination Agreement or in information
provided pursuant to certain disclosure schedules to the Business Combination Agreement. “Material Adverse Effect”
means, with respect to any specified person or entity, any fact, event, occurrence, change or effect that has had or would reasonably
be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect upon (i) the business, assets, liabilities, results of
operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of such person or entity and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (ii) the ability
of such person or entity or any of its subsidiaries on a timely basis to consummate the Business Combination, subject to customary exceptions.
2
No Survival
The representations and warranties
of the parties contained in the Business Combination Agreement terminate as of, and do not survive, the Closing, and there are no indemnification
rights for another party’s breach. The covenants and agreements of the parties contained in the Business Combination Agreement do
not survive the Closing, except those covenants and agreements to be performed after the Closing, which covenants and agreements will
survive until fully performed.
Covenants of the Parties
Each party to the Business
Combination Agreement has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts, and to cooperate fully with one another, to consummate the
Business Combination. The Business Combination Agreement also contains certain customary covenants by each of the parties that apply during the
period between the signing of the Business Combination Agreement and the earlier of the Closing or the termination of the Business Combination
Agreement (the “Interim Period”), including (i) the provision of access to the applicable party’s properties,
books and personnel; (ii) the operation of the parties’ respective businesses in the ordinary course of business; (iii) the current
and timely filing of SPAC’s public filings; (iv) no insider trading; (v) notifications to the other parties of certain breaches,
consent requirements and other matters; (vi) obtaining third-party and regulatory approvals; (vii) tax matters; (viii) further assurances;
(ix) public announcements; (x) confidentiality; and (xi) other covenants. The Business Combination Agreement also contains certain customary
post-Closing covenants, including, without limitation, in regard to (1) tax matters; (2) the maintenance of books and records; and (3)
the indemnification of directors and officers.
Additionally,
both the SPAC and the Company agreed that it will not solicit or enter into a competing alternative
transaction, in accordance with customary terms and provisions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.
SPAC agreed that it will not
approve, endorse or recommend, or publicly propose to approve, endorse or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal, or otherwise change, withdraw,
withhold, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify its recommendation to its shareholders
(the “SPAC Board Recommendation”) for approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination
(a “Change in Recommendation”); provided, however, that if the SPAC’s board of directors
(the “SPAC Board”), after consultation with its outside legal counsel, determines in good faith, in response
to an Intervening Event, that the failure to make a Change in Recommendation would be a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable
law, then the SPAC Board may make a Change in Recommendation; provided that SPAC will not be entitled to make a Change in Recommendation
unless (i) SPAC delivers to NuCube a written notice advising NuCube that the SPAC Board proposes to take such action and containing the
material facts underlying its determination that an Intervening Event has occurred, and (ii) at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
on the fifth Business Day immediately following delivery of such notice (subject to an additional three Business Day period for any new
notice relating to a material development with respect to such Intervening Event), the SPAC Board reaffirms in good faith, after consultation
with its outside legal counsel and taking into account any adjustments to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement offered by NuCube,
that the failure to make a Change in Recommendation would be a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable law; provided that any
Change in Recommendation shall not affect SPAC’s obligations to call an extraordinary general meeting to approve the SPAC Shareholder
Approval Matters.
3
NuCube will deliver to SPAC
financial statements of NuCube audited by a PCAOB-qualified auditor in accordance with PCAOB auditing standards, accompanied by an unqualified
opinion of the auditor thereon (collectively, the “Audited Financials”), as soon as reasonably practicable after
the date of the Business Combination Agreement but no later than 45 days from the date of the Business Combination Agreement (the “Audit
Delivery Date”).
SPAC and NuCube will, as promptly
as practicable after the date of the Business Combination Agreement, prepare and file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”), a registration statement on Form S-4 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”)
in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of
the securities of SPAC to be issued pursuant to the Business Combination, and containing a proxy statement/prospectus for the solicitation
of proxies from SPAC shareholders to approve the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination and related matters at an extraordinary
general meeting of SPAC’s shareholders (the “SPAC Special Meeting”), and providing SPAC’s public
shareholders with an opportunity to request redemption of their public shares in connection with the Business Combination, as required
by SPAC’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and SPAC’s IPO Prospectus (as defined below) (the “Redemption”).
As promptly as practicable
after the Registration Statement has become effective and distributed by SPAC (and in all cases within ten days following such date),
the Company will either (a) call a meeting of its stockholders to obtain and deliver to SPAC a written consent of the Company Stockholders
in order to approve the Business Combination Agreement and each of the ancillary documents to which the Company is or is required to be
a party or bound and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Company Stockholder Approval”)
or (b) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain a signed written consent in lieu of a meeting of its stockholders for the Company Stockholder
Approval. At the request of SPAC, NuCube shall make the members of its management reasonably available to participate in management presentations,
“road shows,” rating agency presentations, meetings with financing sources and similar events in connection with obtaining
the approval of SPAC shareholders, any “share recycling” efforts by SPAC and the obtaining of any debt or equity financing
(including Transaction, ratings or governmental or other third-party approvals.
The parties shall take
all action necessary so that, effective at the Closing, the post-Closing board of directors of SPAC (the “Post-Closing Board”)
will consist of at least seven individuals, two of which will be designated by SPAC (each of whom shall be independent directors in accordance
with the requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”)), five of whom will be designated by NuCube
(at least three of whom shall be independent directors in accordance with the requirements of Nasdaq). The amended and restated organizational
documents of SPAC will provide for a classified board structure consisting of three classes of directors serving staggered terms. In addition,
at or prior to the Closing, SPAC will enter into customary director indemnification agreements with each member of the Post-Closing Board.
The parties shall also take all action necessary so that the individuals serving as the chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
respectively, of SPAC immediately after the Closing will be the same individuals (in the same office) as that of NuCube immediately prior
to the Closing (unless, at its sole discretion, NuCube desires to appoint another qualified person to either such role, in which case,
such other person(s) identified by NuCube shall serve in such role or roles).
4
During the Interim Period,
SPAC and NuCube shall use reasonable best efforts to enter into written agreements for Transaction Financings (as defined below) with
aggregate proceeds of at least $100 million (on such terms and structuring and using such strategy, placement agents and approach, as
SPAC and NuCube shall mutually agree). “Transaction Financings” mean capital raising transactions in connection
with the Business Combination structured as one or a combination of common equity, preferred equity, convertible equity or debt, non-redemption
or backstop arrangements with respect to the Trust Account, a committed equity facility, debt facility, and/or other sources of cash or
cash equivalents, in each case, whether such investment is into SPAC or NuCube.
Conditions to Closing
The obligations of the parties
to consummate the Business Combination are subject to various conditions, including the following mutual conditions of the parties, unless
waived: (i) the approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination and related matters by the requisite vote
of each of SPAC’s shareholders and Company’s stockholders; (ii) the expiration or termination of any waiting period applicable
to the consummation of the Business Combination Agreement under any antitrust laws; (iii) obtaining applicable regulatory approvals;

5
Termination

may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing by either SPAC or NuCube if the Closing does not occur by October 9, 2026, (the “Outside
Date”); provided that if the SPAC obtains, prior to the Outside Date, (i) agreements have been entered into for Transaction
Financing in the aggregate gross amount of at least $75,000,000 and (ii) the approval of its shareholders for an extension of the deadline
by which SPAC must complete its Business Combination, then the Outside Date shall automatically be amended to November 9, 2026; provided
further that this right to terminate the Business Combination Agreement shall not be available to any party if the breach or violation
by such party or its affiliates of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under the Business Combination Agreement was the
cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date.
The Business Combination Agreement
may also be terminated under certain other customary and limited circumstances at any time prior the Closing, including, among other reasons:
(i) by mutual written consent of SPAC and NuCube; (ii) by written notice by either SPAC or NuCube to the other if a governmental authority
of competent jurisdiction shall have issued an order or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting
the Business Combination, and such order or other action has become final and non-appealable; (iii) by NuCube for SPAC’s uncured
breach of the Business Combination Agreement, such that the related closing condition would not be met; (iv) by SPAC for NuCube’s
uncured breach of the Business Combination Agreement, such that the related closing condition would not be met; (v) by SPAC, if there
shall have been a Material Adverse Effect on NuCube following the date of the Business Combination Agreement which is (or are) not cured
and continuing; (vi) by NuCube prior to obtaining the approval of the SPAC’s shareholders, if the SPAC Board shall have (x) made
a Change in Recommendation or (y) failed to include the SPAC Board Recommendation in the proxy statement; provided, however,
that NuCube shall provide such written notice, if at all, within 72 hours after the occurrence of either (x) or (y) above; (vii) by either
NuCube or SPAC if SPAC holds the SPAC Special Meeting to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, and
such approval is not obtained; (viii) by either NuCube or SPAC if the NuCube’s meeting to approve the Company Stockholder Approval
was held and NuCube’s stockholder approval was not obtained; and (ix) by written notice from SPAC to NuCube, at any time within
60 days after the Audit Delivery Date, if NuCube has not delivered the Audited Financials prior to the date of such notice of termination.
If the Business Combination
Agreement is terminated, all further obligations of the parties under the Business Combination Agreement (except for certain obligations
related to public announcements, confidentiality, effect of termination, fees and expenses, trust account waiver, and customary miscellaneous
provisions) will terminate, and no party to the Business Combination Agreement will have any further liability to any other party thereto
except for liability for fraud or for willful breach of the Business Combination Agreement prior to such termination.
Fees and Expenses
All expenses incurred in connection
with the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses; provided that
(i) if the Closing occurs, all expenses incurred by SPAC and NuCube will be paid or reimbursed by SPAC from the Trust Account, the Transaction
Financings, or other cash sources available to SPAC at the Closing, (ii) all fees, costs and expenses (including filing fees) under any
applicable antitrust laws shall be shared equally between the parties, (iii) all fees, costs and expenses (including filing fees and printer
costs) in connection with filing the Registration Statement shall be paid by SPAC, and (iv) all fees, costs and expenses (including filing
fees) in connection with a stock exchange listing application shall be paid by SPAC. If the Closing occurs, the fees in (iii) and (iv)
shall not count as transaction expenses for purposes of the forfeiture of Founder Shares and Placement Warrants (as defined below) pursuant
to the Sponsor Support Agreement.
Trust Account Waiver
Each of NuCube and Seller
Representative agreed that it and its respective affiliates will not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any
monies in SPAC’s trust account held for its public shareholders, and has agreed not to, and waived any right to, make any claim
against the trust account (including any distributions therefrom).
6

The Business Combination Agreement
is governed by New York law and, the parties are subject to exclusive jurisdiction of federal and state courts located in New York, New York (and any appellate courts thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions related to the matters set forth in

Item 8.01 Other Events.
Sponsor Transfer
On
June 25, 2026, the Sponsor and HCG Opportunity III, LLC (the “Buyer”) entered into a sponsor transfer agreement
(the “Transfer Agreement”), pursuant to which among other things, the Buyer will acquire up to 2,875,000 Founder

be appointed to the SPAC Board following the execution of the Business Combination Agreement. The consummation of the Sponsor Transfer
is subject to certain conditions, including the consummation of the Business Combination.
CEO Employment Agreement
On
June 25, 2026, NuCube and Dr. Cristian Rabiti entered into a new Employment Agreement (the “CEO Employment Agreement”)
to set forth the terms of Dr. Rabiti’s compensation and employment as NuCube’s Chief Executive Officer, which will become
effective Closing. Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, in connection with the Closing, SPAC shall become the
parent entity of NuCube, and shall be referred to in this section as “Parent”. In the event that the Closing
does not occur or the Business Combination Agreement is terminated, the CEO Employment Agreement shall be void and shall not have any
force or effect. Once it becomes effective, Dr. Rabiti shall serve as the Chief Executive Officer of NuCube, Parent and their respective
subsidiaries, and the CEO Employment Agreement shall have an indefinite term and will be in place until it is terminated by NuCube or
Dr. Rabiti, in each case pursuant to the terms of the CEO Employment Agreement.
Pursuant
to the CEO Employment Agreement, Dr. Rabiti is entitled to a base salary of $450,000 and will be eligible to participate in Parent’s
annual incentive bonus program with a target bonus of 100% of his base salary (the “Target Bonus”), and his
actual annual incentive bonus will be determined based on Parent and personal performance. Dr. Rabiti will also be eligible to participate
in Parent’s long-term incentive program. In consideration for services leading to the Closing and thereafter, pursuant to the CEO
Employment Agreement, following the Closing, Dr. Rabiti will be entitled to an initial equity award in the form of restricted stock units
(the “Initial RSUs”) in respect of Parent common stock, with the number of shares underlying the Initial RSUs
to have a grant date value of $21,428,500 (the “Target RSU Value”). One third of the Initial RSUs shall vest
on the first anniversary of the date of grant and the remainder shall vest in equal monthly installments over the succeeding twenty-four
months, in each case subject to Dr. Rabiti’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date. Dr. Rabiti is also entitled
to participate in the health and welfare benefit plans of Parent and NuCube that are generally available to other executive officers
of Parent.
The
CEO Employment Agreement provides for certain severance and change-of-control benefits. Specifically, if NuCube terminates Dr. Rabiti’s
employment without “Cause” or if he resigns for “Good Reason” (each as defined in the CEO Employment Agreement),
Dr. Rabiti is entitled to receive, subject to his execution of a valid release of claims, severance equal to his base salary for a period
of 12 months, continued coverage under NuCube’s health and welfare plans for 12 months at the then-current active employee rate
for senior executives, an amount equal to his Target Bonus prorated by the portion of the applicable performance period that Dr. Rabiti
was employed prior to termination of employment (a “Pro-Rated Bonus”) and acceleration of 18 months of additional
time-based vesting for any then outstanding equity awards (“Accelerated Vesting”). If Dr. Rabiti’s employment
is terminated without Cause, or if he resigns for Good Reason within one year following, or three months preceding, a “Change in
Control” (as defined in the CEO Employment Agreement) (as applicable, a “CIC Qualifying Termination”),
Dr. Rabiti would be entitled to the same severance, subject to his execution of a valid release of claims, except that his base salary
and health care continuation eligibility will be increased to 18 months and any time-based equity awards shall accelerate in full. If
Dr. Rabiti’s employment is terminated due to his death, his personal representatives or heirs are entitled to receive, subject
to execution of a valid release of claims, a Pro-Rated Bonus and Accelerated Vesting, and if the Initial RSUs have not been granted prior
to such termination, subject to applicable securities laws and listing exchange requirements, Parent shall make a grant to Dr. Rabiti
or his estate in respect of equity or equity-based interests of Parent with a grant date value equal to the Target RSU Value.
In
consideration for the benefits provided by the CEO Employment Agreement, Dr. Rabiti has agreed to enter into NuCube’s standard
confidentiality and proprietary information agreement and the CEO Employment Agreement additionally includes noncompete, nonsolicit of
customers and employees and no-hire covenants that each last during his employment and for 12 months after employment (the “Restriction
Period”). The Restriction Period can be increased by mutual agreement at the time of a resignation by Dr. Rabiti without
Good Reason and will be automatically increased to 18 months in the event of a CIC Qualifying Termination.
If
any amounts payable to Dr. Rabiti pursuant to the CEO Employment Agreement, taken together with any amounts or benefits otherwise payable
to him by NuCube and any other person or entity required to be aggregated with NuCube for purposes of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), under any other plan, agreement, or arrangement (the “Covered
Payments”), would be an “excess parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G of the Code and subject Dr. Rabiti
to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, the CEO Employment Agreement provides that Dr. Rabiti would receive the greater
after-tax benefit of either (i) the Covered Payments in full or (ii) a reduced amount that would avoid the excise tax imposed under Section
4999 of the Code.

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, which are incorporated in this Agreement as if fully set forth below,
and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby,
the Parties hereto agree as follows:
Article
I
MERGER
1.1 The
Merger. At the Effective Time, and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the DGCL, and following the Domestication, Merger Sub and the Company shall consummate the Merger, pursuant to which Merger
Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, following which the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company
shall continue as the surviving corporation. The Company, as the surviving corporation after the Merger, is hereinafter sometimes referred
to as the “Surviving Subsidiary”; provided that references to the Company for periods after the Effective
Time shall include the Surviving Subsidiary.
1.2 Effective
Time. The Parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing the Certificate of Merger for the merger of Merger Sub
with and into the Company (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware
in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the time of such filing, or such later time as may be specified in the Certificate
of Merger, being the “Effective Time”).
1.3 Effect
of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and the applicable provisions
of the DGCL and other applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all
the property, rights, agreements, privileges, powers and franchises of Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Subsidiary, and all debts,
liabilities, obligations and duties of Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of Surviving Subsidiary,
including in each case the rights and obligations of each such Party under this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents from and after
the Effective Time.
1.4 Governing
Documents. The Company Charter shall, in accordance with the terms thereof and the DGCL, be amended and restated in its entirety
to read in the form of the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that
the name of the Surviving Subsidiary shall be “NuCube Energy, Inc.”, and the incorporator provision shall be deleted, as
so amended and restated, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Subsidiary until duly amended in accordance with
the terms thereof and the DGCL. The bylaws of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be amended at the
Effective Time to read in its entirety as the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that
the name of the Surviving Subsidiary shall be “NuCube Energy, Inc.”, until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms
thereof, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Subsidiary and applicable Law.
1.5 Directors
and Officers of the Surviving Subsidiary. At the Effective Time, the board of directors and executive officers of the Surviving Subsidiary
shall be the board of directors and executive officers of SPAC, after giving effect to Section 5.17, each to hold office
in accordance with the Organizational Documents of the Surviving Subsidiary until their successors are duly elected or appointed and
qualified or their earlier death, resignation, or removal.
1.6 Pre-Closing
Company Exchanges. On or prior to the Closing Date, the holders of Company Preferred Stock shall either exchange or convert all of
their issued and outstanding shares of Company Preferred Stock for shares of Company Common Stock at the applicable conversion ratio
(including any accrued or declared but unpaid dividends) as set forth in the Company Charter (the “Preferred Conversion”).
3
1.7 Domestication
of SPAC . Subject to the receipt of the approval by way of special resolution passed by the holders of SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares
entitled to vote thereon in accordance with SPAC’s Organizational Documents, prior to the Effective Time, SPAC shall cause the
Domestication to become effective, including by (a) filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of domestication
with respect to the Domestication, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to both SPAC and the Company (the “Certificate
of Domestication”), together with the certificate of incorporation of SPAC, and (b) completing and making and procuring
all those filings required to be made with the Cayman Islands Registrar in connection with the Domestication, including a certificate
of de-registration from the Cayman Islands Registrar. The Domestication shall become effective at the time when the Certificate of Domestication
has been duly filed with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware or at such later time as may be agreed by SPAC and the Company
in writing and set forth in the Certificate of Domestication (the “Domestication Effective Time”). At the Domestication
Effective Time, by virtue of the Domestication and without any action on the part of SPAC or any holder of SPAC Securities, all of the
then-issued and outstanding SPAC Securities shall be exchanged for or converted into substantially identical securities of SPAC as a
Delaware corporation. For the avoidance of doubt, the Domestication is intended to constitute a “reorganization” within the
meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code. The Parties adopt this Agreement and any documents executed in connection with the Domestication
as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
1.8 Merger
Consideration. The purchase price to be paid by SPAC in consideration of the Merger and the Transactions to the Company Security
Holders equals (a) Five Hundred Million U.S. Dollars ($500,000,000) minus (b) the excess (if any) of (x) the Company’s Expenses
over (y) the Expense Threshold (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price is payable to the Company Security
Holders as provided in Section 1.9, with (i) each Company Stockholder receiving, for each share of Company Common Stock then held
(after giving effect to the Preferred Conversion, but excluding any Company Securities described in Section 1.9(b)), a number
of shares of SPAC Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio, (ii) each holder of Company Options receiving for such holder’s Company
Options then held, Assumed Options, and (iii) each holder of Company Warrants receiving for such holder’s Company Warrants
then held, the Assumed Warrants (together, (i), (ii) and (iii) being the “Merger Consideration”). For the avoidance
of doubt, in no event shall the Merger Consideration (calculated using the Reference Price) exceed the Purchase Price.
1.9 Effect
of Merger on Issued Securities of the Company and Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action
on the part of any Party or the holders of any Company Securities or the holders of any shares of capital stock of SPAC or Merger Sub:
(a) Company
Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other
than any Excluded Securities described in Section 1.9(c) below) will be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for the
right to receive a number of shares of SPAC Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio as described in Section 1.8. Any
fractional share of SPAC Common Stock that would otherwise be issued to a Company Stockholder, after aggregating all such shares of SPAC
Common Stock to be issued to such Company Stockholder in the Merger, shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. As of the Effective
Time, each holder of Company Stock shall cease to have any other rights with respect to the Company Stock, except as otherwise required
under applicable Law.
4
(b) Company
SAFEs. Each Company SAFE that remains outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, pursuant to its terms, will be canceled
and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive a number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to (x) the
Exchange Ratio multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Company Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) subject to such Company
SAFE.
(c) Treasury
Stock. At the Effective Time, if there are any Company Securities that are owned by the Company in treasury or any Company Securities
owned by any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, such Company Securities (collectively,
the “Excluded Securities”) shall be canceled and shall cease to exist without any conversion thereof or payment
therefor.
(d) Company
Options. Each outstanding Company Option (whether vested or unvested) shall be assumed by SPAC and automatically converted into an
option for shares of SPAC Common Stock (each, an “Assumed Option”). Subject to the subsequent sentence, each
Assumed Option will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Company Equity Plan and any applicable individual award agreement
(except any references therein to the Company or Company Common Stock will instead mean SPAC and SPAC Common Stock, respectively). Each
Assumed Option shall: (i) have the right to acquire a number of shares of SPAC Common Stock equal to (as rounded down to the nearest
whole number) the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock which the Company Option had the right to acquire immediately
prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio; (ii) have an exercise price equal to (as rounded up to the nearest
whole cent) the quotient of (A) the exercise price of the Company Option (in U.S. Dollars), divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio; and (iii)
otherwise be subject to the same terms, conditions, vesting schedule and other provisions as the applicable Company Option. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the per share exercise price and the number of shares of SPAC Common Stock purchasable pursuant to each
Assumed Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Sections 409A and 424 of the Code, as applicable.
SPAC shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for future issuance, and shall maintain such reservation for so long as any
of the Assumed Options remain outstanding, a sufficient number of shares of SPAC Common Stock for delivery upon the exercise of such
Assumed Option. From and after the Closing, the Company and SPAC shall not issue any new awards under the Company Equity Plan.
(e) Company
Warrants. Each Company Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assumed by SPAC
and automatically converted into a warrant for shares of SPAC Common Stock (each, an “Assumed Warrant”). Each
Assumed Warrant shall: (i) have the right to acquire a number of shares of SPAC Common Stock equal to (as rounded down to the nearest
whole number) the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Warrant, multiplied by (B) the
Exchange Ratio; (ii) have an exercise price equal to (as rounded up to the nearest whole cent) the quotient of (A) the exercise price
of the Company Warrant (in U.S. Dollars), divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio; and (iii) be subject to the same terms and conditions (including
as to vesting and exercisability) as the applicable Company Warrant. SPAC shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for future
issuance, and shall maintain such reservation for so long as any of the Assumed Warrants remain outstanding, a sufficient number of shares
of SPAC Common Stock for delivery upon the exercise of such Assumed Warrant.
(f) Other
Company Convertible Securities. Any other Company Convertible Security other than Company Options, Company Warrants or Company SAFEs,
if not exercised or converted prior to the Effective Time, shall be cancelled, retired and terminated and cease to represent a right
to acquire, be exchanged for or convert into shares of Company Common Stock.
5
(g) Merger
Sub Shares. At the Effective Time, all shares of common stock of Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time
shall be converted into an equal amount of shares of common stock of the Surviving Subsidiary, with the same rights, powers and privileges
as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only shares of capital stock in the Surviving Subsidiary.
1.10 Tax
Consequences. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, each of the Domestication and the Merger is intended to constitute a “reorganization”
within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. The Parties adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the
meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
1.11 Transfer
Agent Matters.
(a) Appointment
of Transfer Agent. At least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, SPAC shall appoint a transfer agent reasonably acceptable
to the Company (the “Transfer Agent”) (it being understood and agreed that Continental Stock Transfer &
Trust Company, or any of its Affiliates, shall be deemed to be acceptable to the Company) on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable
to SPAC and the Company for the purposes of issuing the SPAC Common Stock to be issued as part of the Merger Consideration to the Company
Stockholders pursuant to Section 1.8. SPAC and the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, reasonably
cooperate with the Transfer Agent in connection with the covenants and agreements in this Section 1.11, including the
provision of any information, or the entry into any agreements or documentation, necessary or advisable, as determined in good faith
by SPAC, or otherwise required by the Transfer Agent to fulfill its duties as the Transfer Agent in connection with the Transactions.
(b) Transfer
Agent Procedures. At the Effective Time, SPAC shall, or shall cause the Transfer Agent to, issue the SPAC Common Stock to be issued
as part of the Merger Consideration to the record holders of Company Common Stock (after giving effect to the Preferred Conversion) entitled
to receive the same in book-entry form. All SPAC Common Stock issued in accordance with this Section 1.11(b) shall
be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Company Common Stock, and there shall be no further
registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Subsidiary of the Company Common Stock that was outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, shares of Company Common Stock are presented to SPAC or the Surviving Subsidiary
for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section 1.11(b).
1.12 Closing
Consideration Spreadsheet.
(a) At
least three Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to SPAC a spreadsheet (the “Closing Consideration
Spreadsheet”), prepared by the Company in good faith and detailing or, if not then yet known, estimating the following,
in each case, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time:
(i) the
number of outstanding shares of Company Preferred Stock and Company Common Stock;
(ii) the
exercise price and number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable pursuant to outstanding Company Options;
(iii) the
exercise price and number and series or class of shares of Company Stock issuable pursuant to each of the Company Warrants;
6
(iv) the
aggregate amount of, and a list of, the Company’s Expenses as of the Closing;
(v) detailed
calculations of (A) the Fully Diluted Company Shares, (B) the Merger Consideration, (C) the Exchange Ratio, (D) the number of shares
of SPAC Common Stock to be issued in exchange for shares of Company Stock in the Merger, (E) the respective exercise prices and number
of shares of SPAC Common Stock subject to each Assumed Option and (F) the respective exercise prices and number of shares of SPAC Common
Stock subject to each Assumed Warrant;
(vi) each
Company Security Holder’s Pro Rata Share; and
(vii) an
updated Schedule A setting forth each Company Stockholder’s Earnout Participation, and the number of shares of SPAC Common
Stock subject thereto, based on the Exchange Ratio.
The
contents of the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet delivered by the Company hereunder shall be subject to reasonable review and comment
by SPAC, but the Company shall, in all events, remain solely responsible for the contents of the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet. If
any information in the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet is estimated, then at least one Business Day prior to the Closing, the Company
shall deliver an updated Closing Consideration Spreadsheet accompanied by a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Company to
the effect that the information contained in such Closing Consideration Spreadsheet is complete and accurate in all material respects.
The parties hereto agree that SPAC and Transfer Agent shall be entitled to rely on the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet in issuing SPAC
Common Stock in accordance with this Article I.
1.13 Earnout.
(a) At
or prior to the Closing, the SPAC Representative, the Seller Representative and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (or such
other escrow agent mutually acceptable to SPAC and the Company), as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), shall
enter into an escrow agreement, effective as of the Effective Time, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to SPAC and the Company
(the “Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which SPAC shall issue in the name of the Company Stockholders 12,575,000
shares of SPAC Common Stock, which shares shall be subject to forfeiture in whole if a Triggering Event does not occur within the time
period specified herein and in part as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto, and which shares shall be equitably adjusted for
stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combination, exchange of
shares or other like change or transaction with respect to SPAC Common Stock occurring after the Closing (as adjusted, the “Earnout
Shares”). SPAC shall deposit such Earnout Shares with the Escrow Agent to be held, along with any other dividends, distributions
or other income on such Earnout Shares (together with such Earnout Shares, the “Escrow Property”), in a segregated
escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) and disbursed therefrom in accordance with the terms of this Section
1.13 and the Escrow Agreement. The Company Stockholders shall be shown as registered owners of such Earnout Shares on
the books and records of SPAC, and subject to any limitations set forth in this Section 1.13, shall be entitled
to exercise voting rights and to receive dividends (if declared) with respect to such Earnout Shares (other than non-taxable stock dividends,
which shall be included as part of the Escrow Property). The Escrow Property shall be allocated among and transferred to the Company
Stockholders pro rata based on their respective Pro Rata Share (subject to adjustment as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto,
each such Company Stockholder’s “Earnout Participation”) as additional consideration from SPAC based
on the performance of the SPAC Common Stock during the three-year period after the Closing (the “Earnout Period”)
in accordance with this Section 1.13, which Earnout Participation shall be payable to such Company Stockholders
in the form of Earnout Shares and any related dividends, distributions or other income thereon.
7
(b) In
the event that the VWAP of the SPAC Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations
and recapitalizations and similar transactions after the Closing) (the “Share Price Target”) for at least 20
of 30 consecutive Trading Days during the Earnout Period (the “Triggering Event”), then, subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, each Company Stockholder in whose name Earnout Shares are issued shall be entitled to receive from
the Escrow Account such Company Stockholder’s Earnout Participation of the Escrow Property.
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if a Change of Control of SPAC occurs during the Earnout Period and the value of the implied per share consideration to
be received by holders of SPAC Common Stock in such transaction is above the Share Price Target, then, immediately prior to the consummation
of such Change of Control, to the extent not previously distributed, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each
Company Stockholder in whose name Earnout Shares are issued shall be entitled to receive from the Escrow Account such Company Stockholder’s
Earnout Participation of the Escrow Property.
(d) If
the Share Price Target is satisfied, within five Business Days after the satisfaction of the Share Price Target, SPAC’s Chief Financial
Officer shall prepare and deliver to the Seller Representative and the SPAC Representative a written statement (each, an “Earnout
Statement”) setting forth (i) the satisfaction of the Share Price Target and (ii) each Company Stockholder’s Earnout
Participation (calculated in accordance with Schedule A attached hereto). Within three Business Days following delivery of such
Earnout Statement, the Seller Representative and the SPAC’s Chief Financial Officer shall provide the Escrow Agent with joint written
instructions to release the applicable Escrow Property to the Company Stockholders as set forth in such updated Schedule A and, if applicable,
to deliver any such forfeited shares to SPAC, to be cancelled by SPAC. In the event that the Share Price Target is not achieved during
the Earnout Period, there shall be no disbursements of Escrow Property from the Escrow Account and all of the Earnout Shares shall be
delivered from the Escrow Account to SPAC, to be cancelled by SPAC.
(e) Any
payment made pursuant to this Section 1.13, including, for the avoidance of doubt, payments from the Escrow Account,
shall be treated as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration by the Parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by a change
in applicable Tax Law.
(f) If
there is a determination in accordance with this Section 1.13 that the Company Stockholders in whose names Earnout
Shares are issued are entitled to receive the Escrow Property for having achieved the Share Price Target (such date, the “Escrow
Determination Date”), then (i) 50% of the Escrow Property will be released from escrow 90 days after the Escrow Determination
Date and the Escrow Agent will transfer and deliver such shares to the Company Stockholders within five Business Days following such
90-day period, with each such Company Stockholder receiving such Company Stockholder’s Earnout Participation of such Escrow Property,
and (ii) the remaining 50% of the Escrow Property will be released from escrow 180 days after the Escrow Determination Date and the Escrow

Property currently used, licensed or held for use by such Target Company, and previously used or licensed by such Target Company, except

by the applicable Target Company without obligation to pay royalties, licensing fees or other fees, or otherwise account to any third

During the Interim Period, in order to induce the other Parties to continue to commit to expend management time and financial resources
in furtherance of the transactions contemplated hereby, each Party shall not, and shall cause its Representatives to not, without the

Period, each Party shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any solicitations, discussions
or negotiations with any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and shall, and shall direct its Representatives to, cease and
terminate any such solicitations, discussions or negotiations.
(d)
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.6 or otherwise in this Agreement to the contrary, if, at any time prior to (but
not after) obtaining the Required SPAC Shareholder Approval, the SPAC Board determines in good faith, in response to an Intervening Event,
after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make a Change in Recommendation would be a breach of its fiduciary
duties under applicable Law, SPAC’s board of directors may make a Change in Recommendation; provided that SPAC will not
be entitled to make, or agree or resolve to make, a Change in Recommendation unless (i) SPAC delivers to the Company a written notice
(a “Change in Recommendation Notice”) advising the Company that its board of directors proposes to take such
action and containing the material facts underlying the SPAC Board’s determination that an Intervening Event has occurred, and
(ii) at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth Business Day immediately following the day on which the Change in Recommendation
Notice is delivered (such period from the time the Change in Recommendation Notice is delivered until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on
the fifth Business Day immediately following the day on which the Change in Recommendation Notice is delivered (it being understood that
any material development with respect to an Intervening Event shall require a new notice but with an additional three (3) Business Day-period
from the date of such notice), the “Change in Recommendation Notice Period”), the SPAC Board reaffirms in good
faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and taking into account any adjustments in the terms and conditions of this
Agreement offered by the Company as described in the following sentence) that the failure to make a Change in Recommendation would be
a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. If requested by the Company, SPAC will use its reasonable best efforts to cause
its Representatives to, during the Change in Recommendation Notice Period, engage in good faith negotiations with the Company and its
Representatives to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so as to obviate the need for a Change in Recommendation.
(e)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, during a Change in Recommendation Notice Period, the obligations

in Recommendation Notice Period, SPAC shall be permitted to adjourn such meeting and to amend such filing as necessary in order to provide
sufficient time for the shareholders to consider any revised recommendation. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, SPAC’s
obligations to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold SPAC Extraordinary General Meeting shall not
be affected by any Change in Recommendation by SPAC Board.

Agreement have been breached.

is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by any applicable Governmental Authority or any private Person challenging any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Document as violative of any applicable Law or which would otherwise prevent,
materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Parties shall use their
commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such objections or Actions so as to timely permit consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, including in order to resolve such objections or Actions which, in any case if not resolved,
could reasonably be expected to prevent, materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby. In the event any Action is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Authority or private Person challenging
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any Ancillary Document, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Representatives
to, reasonably cooperate with each other and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist any such Action

5.10
Tax Matters.
(a)
(i) Each of the Parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to qualify as a “reorganization” within

to cause the Merger or the Domestication to fail to qualify, respectively, as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section
368(a) of the Code. The Parties intend to report and shall report, for federal income tax purposes, and shall not take any position inconsistent
with (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise) the treatment of, each of the Merger and the Domestication as a “reorganization”
within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Each of the Parties agrees to use reasonable best efforts to promptly notify all other
Parties of any challenge to the treatment described in this Section 5.10 by any Governmental Authority.

Extraordinary General Meeting”) and providing the Public Shareholders an opportunity in accordance with SPAC’s Organizational
Documents to have their SPAC Public Shares redeemed (the “Redemption”). The Proxy Statement shall include proxy

Matters”), and (vii) the adjournment of the SPAC Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or
desirable in the reasonable determination of the chairman of the SPAC Extraordinary General Meeting. If on the date for which SPAC Extraordinary

Registration Statement, and responding in a timely manner to comments from the SEC. Each Party shall promptly correct any information
provided by it for use in the Registration Statement (and other related materials) if and to the extent that such information is determined
to have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Laws. SPAC and the Company shall amend
or supplement the Registration Statement and cause the Registration Statement, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC
and to be disseminated to SPAC shareholders and the Company Stockholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Laws
and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and SPAC’s Organizational Documents.

Prior to the Effective Time, the SPAC Board shall take all reasonable steps as may be required or permitted to cause any disposition
of the SPAC Securities that occurs or is deemed to occur by reason of or pursuant to the Transactions by each Person who is or will be
subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to SPAC to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated
under the Exchange Act, including by taking steps in accordance with the No-Action Letter, dated January 12, 1999.

Article
VIII
WAIVERS AND RELEASES
8.1
Waiver of Claims Against Trust. Reference is made to the IPO Prospectus. The Company and the Seller Representative each hereby
represents and warrants that it has read the IPO Prospectus and understands that SPAC has established the Trust Account containing the
proceeds of the IPO and the overallotment shares acquired by SPAC’s underwriters and from certain private placements occurring
simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of SPAC’s public shareholders
(including overallotment shares acquired by SPAC’s underwriters) (the “Public Shareholders”) and that,
except as otherwise described in the IPO Prospectus, SPAC may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Shareholders
in the event they elect to redeem their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the consummation of SPAC’s initial business
combination (as such term is used in the IPO Prospectus) (the “Business Combination”) or in connection with
an extension of its deadline to consummate a Business Combination, (b) to the Public Shareholders if SPAC fails to consummate a Business
Combination within 24 months after the closing of the IPO, subject to extension by an amendment to SPAC’s Organizational Documents,
(c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, amounts necessary to pay for any income taxes or (d)
to SPAC after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of SPAC entering into this Agreement
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Company and the
Seller Representative hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Affiliates that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
neither the Company nor the Seller Representative nor any of their respective Affiliates do now or shall at any time hereafter have any
right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against
the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with
or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between SPAC or any of its Representatives,
on the one hand, and the Company, the Seller Representative or any of their respective Representatives, on the other hand, or any other
matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all
such claims are collectively referred to herein as, the “Released Claims”). Each of the Company and the Seller
Representative, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that it or any of its Affiliates
may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any
negotiations, contracts or agreements with SPAC or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including
any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of this Agreement or any other agreement with
SPAC or its Affiliates). Each of the Company and the Seller Representative agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material
to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by SPAC and its Affiliates to induce SPAC to enter in this Agreement, and each of the
Company and the Seller Representative further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against such Party
and each of its respective Affiliates under applicable Law. To the extent that the Company or the Seller Representative or any of their
respective Affiliates commences any Action based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to SPAC
or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against SPAC or its Representatives, each of the
Company and the Seller Representative hereby acknowledges and agrees that its and its Affiliates’ sole remedy shall be against
funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit such Party or any of its Affiliates (or any Person claiming
on any of their behalf or in lieu of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any
amounts contained therein. In the event that the Company or the Seller Representative or any of their respective Affiliates commences
Action based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to SPAC or its Representatives which proceeding
seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or the Public Shareholders, whether
in the form of money damages or injunctive relief, SPAC and its Representatives, as applicable, shall be entitled to recover from the
Company, the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Company Stockholders) and their respective, as applicable, the associated legal
fees and costs in connection with any such Action, in the event SPAC or its Representatives, as applicable, prevails in such Action.
This Section 8.1 shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason and continue indefinitely.

Party.
9.4
Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State
of New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof. All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall

“Specified Courts”). Each Party hereto hereby (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Specified
Courts for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any Party hereto and (b) irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally
to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is
brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby
may not be enforced in or by any Specified Courts. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may
be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each Party irrevocably consents to

Agreement, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such Party at the applicable address

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY

9.6
Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that the rights of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby

the non-breaching Parties may have not adequate remedy at law, and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of
the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by an applicable Party in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise
breached. Accordingly, each Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement
and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to
prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such Party may be entitled
under this Agreement, at law or in equity.
9.7
Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, such
provision shall be modified or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal
and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby nor shall the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction.
Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties will substitute
for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal
and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.
9.8
Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by execution of a written instrument signed by SPAC, the
Company and the Seller Representative.

non-affiliated Party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance by such other non-affiliated
with any covenant or condition contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing
signed by the Party or Parties to be bound thereby (including by the SPAC Representative or the Seller Representative in lieu of such
party to the extent provided in this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of
any other right hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any waiver of any provision of this Agreement after Closing shall also require
the prior written consent of the SPAC Representative and the Seller Representative.
63
9.10

the terms during the term of this Agreement. The Company hereby agrees that it shall not permit any Transfer of the Subject Stock in
violation of this Agreement.

Subject Stock or upon any other changes involving Holder relating to the equity interests or securities convertible or exercisable for
equity interests of the Company.

of Rights. Each Holder shall not exercise any registration rights or other rights (solely to the extent such right would prevent,

SPAC to publish and disclose in any announcement or disclosure required by the SEC, Nasdaq or the Registration Statement (including all
documents and schedules filed with the SEC in connection with the foregoing), such Holder’s identity and ownership of the Subject

other Ancillary Documents.
4
(e) No
Solicitation. Each Holder agrees to be bound by and subject to Section 5.6 (No Solicitation; Change in Recommendation) of the Business
Combination Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to the Company as if such Holder was a party thereto.
5. Representations
and Warranties of Holders. Each Holder hereby represents and warrants to the SPAC and the Company as follows:
(a) Binding
Agreement. Such Holder (i) if a natural person, is of legal age to execute this Agreement and is legally competent to do so and (ii)
if not a natural person, is (A) a corporation, limited liability company, company or partnership duly organized and validly existing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and (B) has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement,
to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. If such Holder is not a natural person,
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby by such Holder has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability or partnership action on the part of such
Holder, as applicable. This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the other parties hereto, constitutes
a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Holder, enforceable against such Holder in accordance with its terms (except as such enforceability
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws of general applicability
relating to or affecting creditor’s rights, and to general equitable principles). Such Holder understands and acknowledges that
the SPAC is entering into the Business Combination Agreement in reliance upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Holder.
(b) Ownership
of Subject Stock. As of the date hereof, such Holder has beneficial ownership over the Subject Stock set forth under such Holder’s
name on the signature page hereto, is the lawful owner of such Subject Stock, has the sole power to vote or cause to be voted such Subject
Stock (to the extent the Subject Stock have associated voting rights), and has good and valid title to such Subject Stock, free and clear
of any and all pledges, mortgages, encumbrances, charges, proxies, voting agreements, liens, adverse claims, options, security interests
and demands of any nature or kind whatsoever, other than those imposed by this Agreement, applicable securities Laws or the Company’s
Organizational Documents, as in effect on the date hereof. There are no claims for finder’s fees or brokerage commission or other
like payments in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby payable by such Holder pursuant to arrangements
made by such Holder. Except for the Subject Stock of the Company set forth under such Holder’s name on the signature page hereto,
as of the date of this Agreement, such Holder is not a beneficial owner or record holder of any: (i) equity securities of the Company,
(ii) securities of the Company having the right to vote on any matters on which the holders of equity securities of the Company may vote
or which are convertible into or exchangeable for, at any time, equity securities of the Company or (iii) options, warrants or other
rights to acquire from the Company any equity securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities of the
Company.
(c) No
Conflicts. No filing with, or notification to, any Governmental Authority, and no consent, approval, authorization or permit of any
other person, is necessary for the execution of this Agreement by such Holder, the performance of its obligations hereunder or the consummation
by it of the transactions contemplated hereby. None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Holder, the performance of
its obligations hereunder or the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby shall conflict with or result in any breach
of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other comparable organizational documents of such Holder, if applicable, result in, or
give rise to, a violation or breach of or a default under any of the terms of any Contract or obligation to which such Holder is a party
or by which such Holder or any of the Subject Stock or its other assets may be bound, or violate any applicable Law or Order, judgment,
injunction, ruling or decree of any governmental authority, except for any of the foregoing in clauses (i) through (iii) as would not
reasonably be expected to impair such Holder’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.
5

will enter into at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to the Subject
Stock, (ii) has not granted, nor will grant at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, a proxy, a consent or power of attorney
with respect to the Subject Stock and (iii) has not entered into any agreement or knowingly taken any action (nor will enter into any
agreement or knowingly take any action) that would make any representation or warranty of Holder contained herein untrue or incorrect
in any material respect or have the effect of preventing Holder from performing any of its material obligations under this Agreement.
6. Miscellaneous.
(a) Termination.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement shall automatically terminate, and none of the SPAC, the Company
or any Holder shall have any rights or obligations hereunder, upon the earliest to occur of (i) the mutual written consent of the SPAC
and the Company, (ii) the Effective Time (following the performance of the obligations of the parties hereunder required to be performed
at or prior to the Effective Time), and (iii) the date of termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms.
The termination of this Agreement shall not prevent any party hereunder from seeking any remedies (at law or in equity) against another
party hereto or relieve such party from liability for such party’s willful breach of any terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(b) Binding
Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. This Agreement and all obligations of Holder are personal to Holder and
may not be assigned, transferred or delegated by operation of Law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the SPAC and the
Company, and any purported assignment, transfer or delegation without such consent shall be null and void; provided that no such
assignment shall relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder. Each of the Company and the SPAC may freely assign any or
all of its rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any successor entity (whether by merger, consolidation, equity sale,
asset sale or otherwise) without obtaining the consent or approval of Holder.
(c) Third
Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any instrument or document executed by any party in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby shall create any rights in, or be deemed to have been executed for the benefit of, any person that is not a party
hereto or thereto or a successor or permitted assign of such a party.

Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and any dispute or controversy (“Action”) arising out of or relating
to this Agreement shall be (x) governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict
of laws principles thereof and (y) heard and determined exclusively in any state or federal court located in New York, New York
(or in any appellate court thereof) (the “Specified Courts”). Each party hereto hereby (i) submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of any Specified Courts for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party
hereto and (ii) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that
it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or
execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by any Specified Courts. Each party agrees that a final judgment in any Action
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party
irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other Action relating to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such party at
the applicable address set forth in Section 6(g) (and in the case of Holder, the address set forth on such Holder’s signature
page). Nothing in this Section 6(d) shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by
applicable law.
6

OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO
A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO (i) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE,

IN THIS SECTION 6(e).
(f) Interpretation.
The titles and subtitles contained in this Agreement are solely for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the parties
and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires:
(i) any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form
of nouns, pronouns and verbs, including any defined terms, include the plural and vice versa; (ii) “including” (and with
correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting the generality of any description preceding or succeeding
such term and shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (iii) the words “herein,”
“hereto,” and “hereby” and other words of similar import in this Agreement shall be deemed in each case to refer
to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or other subdivision of this Agreement; (iv) the word “if”
and other words of similar import when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the phrase “and only if”;
and (v) the term “or” means “and/or”. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of
this Agreement. Consequently, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed
as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue
of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.
(g) Notices.
All notices, consents, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when

(h) Amendments
and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally
or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the SPAC, the Company and each
Holder. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No waivers of or exceptions
to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further
or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision.
(i) Severability.
In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified
or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby nor shall the validity,
legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or
other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose
of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.
(j) Specific
Performance. Each Holder acknowledges that its obligations under this Agreement are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event
of a breach of this Agreement by such Holder, money damages will be inadequate and the Company and the SPAC will not have an adequate
remedy at law, and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed
by such Holder in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Company and the SPAC shall be entitled
to seek an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement by any such Holder and to enforce specifically the terms
and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate,
this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.
(k) Expenses.
Each party shall be responsible for its own fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of investment bankers, accountants and
counsel) in connection with the entering into of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that in the event of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement,
the non-prevailing party in any such Action will pay its own expenses and the reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, reasonably incurred by the prevailing party.
(l) No
Partnership, Agency or Joint Venture. This Agreement is intended to create a contractual relationship among the Holders, the Company
and the SPAC, and is not intended to create, and does not create, any agency, partnership, joint venture or any like relationship among
the parties hereto or among any other Company Stockholders entering into voting agreements with the Company or the SPAC. Each Holder
has acted independently regarding its decision to enter into this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest
in the Company or the SPAC any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Subject Stock.
(m) No
Agreement as Director or Officer. Each Holder is signing this Agreement solely in its capacity as a stockholder of the Company. No
Holder makes any agreement or understanding in this Agreement in such Holder’s capacity (or in the capacity of any Affiliate, partner
or employee of Holder) as a director or officer of the Company (if Holder holds such office). Nothing in this Agreement will limit or
affect any actions or omissions taken by a Holder (or any Affiliate, partner or employee of Holder) in his, her or its capacity as a
director or officer of the Company, and no actions or omissions taken in any Holder’s capacity (or in the capacity of any Affiliate,
partner or employee of Holder) as a director or officer shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement will be
construed to prohibit, limit or restrict a Holder (or any Affiliate, partner or employee of Holder) from exercising his or her fiduciary
duties as an officer or director to the Company or taking any action that may be permitted by the Business Combination Agreement.
8
(n) Publicity.
Section 5.14(a) of the Business Combination Agreement shall apply to this Agreement mutatis mutandis.
(o) Affiliates.
In this Agreement, the term “Affiliates”, when used with respect to a particular Person, means any other Person directly
or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such Person, whether through one or more intermediaries or otherwise,
and the term “control” (including the terms “controlling”, “controlled by” and “under common
control with”) means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and

THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, which are incorporated in this Agreement as if fully set forth below,
and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

transaction described in clauses (A), (B) or (C) above is to be settled by delivery of Restricted Securities or other securities, in
cash or otherwise;
(iii) “PubCo
Common Stock” means the shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of PubCo issued to Holder, or issuable to
Holder upon the exercise of any Assumed Options or Assumed Warrants issued to Holder, in each case in connection with the Merger.

Securities” means all of Holder’s PubCo Common Stock other than Unrestricted Securities;
(v) “Stock

(vi) “Trading

exchange or securities market on which shares of PubCo Common Stock are then traded; and

class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or
any similar transaction affecting the outstanding PubCo Common Stock, then any description contained herein which is based upon PubCo
Common Stock will be adjusted for such dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares,
or any similar transaction. Any adjustment under this Section 1(f) shall become effective at the date and time that such
dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar transaction, became
effective.
(g) For
the avoidance of any doubt, Holder shall retain all of its rights as a stockholder of PubCo with respect to the Restricted Securities
during the applicable Lock-Up Period, including the right to vote any Restricted Securities, subject to the terms of the Business Combination
Agreement.
2. Representations.
Each party hereto hereby represents and warrants to the other party and acknowledges that: (a) the execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement have been duly authorized by such party and do not require such party to obtain any consent or approval that has not

the power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out its obligations hereunder; and (c) this Agreement is valid, binding
and enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms.

Agreement, but this Agreement shall only become effective upon the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,

and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect.
(b) Binding
Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. This Agreement and all obligations of Holder are personal to Holder and

any or all of its rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any successor entity (whether by merger, consolidation, equity
sale, asset sale or otherwise) without obtaining the consent or approval of Holder.
(c) Third
Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any instrument or document executed by any party in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby shall create any rights in, or be deemed to have been executed for the benefit of, any person or entity that is not
a party hereto or thereto or a successor or permitted assign of such a party.
(d) Governing
Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof. All Actions

(or, if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, in any state or federal court located in Wilmington, Delaware) or in any appellate
court thereof (the “Specified Courts”). Each party hereto hereby (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
of any Specified Courts for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto and (ii) irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally
to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is
brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby
may not be enforced in or by any Specified Courts. Each party agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may
be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party irrevocably consents to
the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other Action relating to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such party at the applicable address
set forth in Section 3(g) (and in the case of Holder, the address set forth on such Holder’s signature page). Nothing in
this Section 3(d) shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.
(e) WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO
A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS

The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this
Agreement. In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (i) any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding
masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa; (ii)

preceding or succeeding such term and shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (iii)

of this Agreement. Consequently, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed
as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue
of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

(h) Amendments
and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally
or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the SPAC Representative, the
Seller Representative, the SPAC, and Holder, and the SPAC Representative and the Seller Representative shall be an express third-party
beneficiary of this Agreement for purposes of this Section 2(h). No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right hereunder

5
(i) Severability.
In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision

and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby
nor shall the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination
that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal
or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent
and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.
(j) Specific
Performance. Holder acknowledges that its obligations under this Agreement are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of
a breach of this Agreement by Holder, money damages will be inadequate and PubCo will have no adequate remedy at law, and agrees that
irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by Holder in accordance with
their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, PubCo shall be entitled to an injunction or restraining order to prevent
breaches of this Agreement by Holder and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any
bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which
such party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.
(k) Entire
Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Business Combination Agreement to the extent referred to herein, constitutes the full
and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement
relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly canceled; provided, that, for the avoidance
of doubt, the foregoing shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties under the Business Combination Agreement or any Ancillary
Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of PubCo or any of the rights,
remedies or obligations of Holder under any other agreement between Holder and PubCo or any certificate or instrument executed by Holder
in favor of PubCo, and nothing in any other agreement, certificate or instrument shall limit any of the rights, remedies or obligations
of PubCo or any of the rights, remedies or obligations of Holder under this Agreement.
(l) Further
Assurances. From time to time, at another party’s reasonable request and without further consideration (but at the requesting
party’s reasonable cost and expense), each party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further
action as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(m) Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by electronic signature or by email in portable document form) in two or more
counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original,
but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

WHEREAS,
Sponsor owns 5,750,000 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares (including the SPAC Common Stock into which such Class B Ordinary Shares will be
converted in the Domestication, the “Sponsor Shares”), which were issued to Sponsor in private placement transactions
consummated in connection with the IPO;
WHEREAS,
Sponsor owns 4,500,000 SPAC Private Warrants, which were issued to Sponsor in private placement transactions consummated in connection

together with Sponsor and SPAC, entered into a letter agreement dated October 7, 2024 (as amended from time to time, the “Insider
Letter”), pursuant to which Sponsor and the Insiders agreed, among other matters, to (i) waive any redemption
rights that Sponsor or such Insider may have in connection with the consummation of an initial business combination with respect to any
SPAC Ordinary Shares owned by Sponsor or such Insider, (ii) waive any rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account
with respect to the Sponsor Shares (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect
to any SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares sold in the IPO as part of the SPAC Public Units), (iii) vote any SPAC Ordinary Shares owned by Sponsor
or such Insider in favor of an initial business combination for which SPAC seeks approval and (iv) certain transfer restrictions with
respect to the Sponsor Shares;
WHEREAS,
Article 17.3 of SPAC’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Incorporation (as amended, the “SPAC Charter”)
provides, among other matters, that the SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares will automatically convert into SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares upon
the consummation of an initial business combination, subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 17.4 of the SPAC Charter if additional
SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares or equity-linked securities (as defined in the SPAC Charter), are issued or deemed issued in excess of the
amounts sold in the IPO (the “Anti-Dilution Right”), excluding certain exempted issuances;
WHEREAS,
concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, SPAC, the Company and Merger Sub are entering into the Business Combination
Agreement, pursuant to which, upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Closing”),
among other matters, (a) SPAC will continue out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware so as to re-domicile as and become
a Delaware corporation pursuant to the Companies Act and the applicable provisions of the DGCL (the “Domestication”);
and (b) Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (with the Company surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of SPAC)
(the “Merger” and, together with the Domestication and the other transactions contemplated by the Business
Combination Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, the “Transactions”);
WHEREAS,
as a condition and inducement to the Company’s willingness to enter into the Business Combination Agreement, the Company has required
that SPAC and Sponsor enter into this Agreement.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
1.
Voting Requirements; Transfer Restrictions. During the Interim Period, for the benefit of the
Company, (i) Sponsor agrees that it will fully comply with, and perform all of its obligations, covenants and agreements set forth
in the Insider Letter, and shall (A) cause all of the SPAC Ordinary Shares owned by it to be counted as present at the Special Extraordinary
General Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof) for purposes of calculating a quorum thereat, (B) irrevocably and
unconditionally vote all of the SPAC Ordinary Shares owned by it in favor of the Transactions, including each of the SPAC Shareholder
Approval Matters and, if necessary to permit further solicitation of proxies because there are not sufficient votes to approve and adopt
any of the SPAC Shareholder Approval Matters or to allow reasonable time for the SPAC Board to accept reversals of elections to redeem
SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares by the SPAC shareholders, the adjournment of the Special Extraordinary General Meeting, (C) irrevocably
and unconditionally waive any redemption rights that it may have in connection with the Closing with respect to any SPAC Class A Ordinary
Shares owned by it and (D) fully comply with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Insider Letter with respect to the Sponsor Shares,

in the Insider Letter) pursuant to the terms of the Insider Letter, the transferee (the “Permitted Transferee”)
must enter into a written agreement with the Company and SPAC agreeing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Insider
Letter; and (ii) SPAC shall (A) enforce the Insider Letter in accordance with its terms and (B) not amend, modify or waive any provision
of the Insider Letter without the prior written consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).
2.
Waiver of Anti-Dilution Protection. Sponsor, as the holder of all of the issued and outstanding
SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares, solely in connection with, and subject to and conditioned upon, the Closing, waives any adjustment pursuant
to the Anti-Dilution Right, and agrees that, upon the Closing, the SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares will automatically convert into SPAC
Class A Ordinary Shares at the Initial Conversion Ratio (as defined in the SPAC Charter) in connection with the Transactions. This waiver
shall be void and of no force and effect following the date on which the Business Combination Agreement is validly terminated in accordance
with its terms, but this waiver is otherwise irrevocable by Sponsor. All other terms in the SPAC Charter related to the SPAC Class B
Ordinary Shares shall remain in full force and effect, except as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or the Ancillary
Documents.
3.
Representations and Warranties of Sponsor. Sponsor represents and warrants to SPAC and the Company,
as follows:
(a)
Authorization. Sponsor is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the State of Delaware, has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder
and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Sponsor and
the consummation by Sponsor of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action on
the part of Sponsor and no other proceedings on the part of Sponsor or Sponsor’s membership unit holders 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 Sponsor, and assuming the due

otherwise available. 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 seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to seek specific enforcement of the terms
and provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which any party hereto 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 hereto shall allege, and each party
hereto hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law, and each party hereto agrees to waive any requirement for

5
(f)
Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended or modified only with the written consent of SPAC, the Company and Sponsor.
The observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or
prospectively) only with the written consent of the party hereto against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. No failure or delay
by a party hereto in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition,
or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of
any such term, condition, or provision.
(g)
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.
(h)
Assignment. No party hereto may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of the other parties. In addition, in the event that Sponsor transfers any of its Sponsor Shares or

Transfer, to agree in writing, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to SPAC and the Company, to be bound by the terms and conditions
of this Agreement and the Insider Letter. Any purported assignment of this Agreement or any SPAC Securities in violation of this Section

assigns.

between any of the parties hereto. No party hereto is by virtue of this Agreement authorized as an agent, employee or legal representative
of any other party hereto. Without in any way limiting the rights or obligations of any party hereto under this Agreement, prior to the
Closing, (i) no party hereto shall have the power by virtue of this Agreement to control the activities and operations of any other
and (ii) no party hereto shall have any power or authority by virtue of this Agreement to bind or commit any other party hereto.
No party hereto shall hold itself out as having any authority or relationship in contravention of this Section 6(j).
(k)
Publicity. Section 5.14(a) of the Business Combination Agreement shall apply to this Agreement mutatis mutandis.
(l)
Capacity as an Equityholder. Sponsor signs this Agreement solely in its capacity as an equityholder of SPAC, and not in its capacity
as a director (including “director by deputization”), officer or employee of SPAC, if applicable. Nothing herein shall be
construed to: (i) restrict, limit, prohibit or affect any actions or inactions by Sponsor or any representative of Sponsor, as applicable,
serving in the capacity of a director or officer of SPAC or any Subsidiary of SPAC, acting in such person’s capacity as a director
or officer of SPAC or any Subsidiary of SPAC (it being understood and agreed that the Business Combination Agreement contains provisions
that govern the actions or inactions by the directors and officers of SPAC with respect to the Merger and the other Transactions) or
(ii) prohibit, limit or restrict the exercise of any fiduciary duties as director or officer of SPAC that is otherwise permitted
by, and done in compliance with, the terms of the Business Combination Agreement (and in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), without
limiting Sponsor’s obligations hereunder in its capacity as an equityholder of SPAC).

(m)
Affiliates. In this Agreement, the term “Affiliates”, when used with respect to a particular Person, means any other
Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such Person, whether through one or more intermediaries
or otherwise, and the term “control” (including the terms “controlling”, “controlled by” and “under
common control with”) means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management
and policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by Contract or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(i) Affiliates of Sponsor shall only include SPAC and Persons directly or indirectly controlled by SPAC, and Sponsor and SPAC (and
each of their respective Affiliates) shall be deemed not to be Affiliates of each other for purposes of this Agreement, and (ii) no
private investment fund (or similar vehicle) or business development company, or any other investment account, fund, vehicle or other
client advised or sub-advised by Sponsor or by Sponsor’s Affiliates, or any portfolio companies thereof, shall be deemed to be
an Affiliate of Sponsor, except to the extent any such Person is expressly requested or directed by Sponsor to take any action which

and agreed that this Agreement shall not otherwise apply to, or be binding on, any Persons described in this clause (ii)).
(n)
No Recourse. Neither SPAC nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of the past, present or future stockholders of SPAC (other than
Sponsor or any permitted transferee thereof), nor any director, officer, employee, member, partner, shareholder or other owner (whether
direct or indirect), Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of Sponsor, shall have any obligation or liability for the obligations
or liabilities of Sponsor under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement may only be enforced against the persons
or entities that have executed and delivered a counterpart to this Agreement.
(o)
Headings; Interpretation. The headings and subheadings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be considered
a part of or affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise
requires: (i) any pronoun used shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns,
pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa; (ii) the term “including” (and with correlative meaning
“include”) shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (iii) the words

deemed in each case to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or other subdivision of this Agreement; (iv) the
term “or” means “and /or”; (v) the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means
the degree to which a subject or thing extends, and such phrase shall not simply mean “if’; and (vi) references to “written”
or “in writing” include in electronic form. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this
Agreement. Consequently, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed
as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto
by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.
(p)
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, and by different parties in separate counterparts, with
the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Copies of executed counterparts of this Agreement transmitted by electronic transmission (including by email or in .pdf format) or facsimile
as well as electronically or digitally executed counterparts (such as DocuSign) shall have the same legal effect as original signatures
and shall be considered original executed counterparts of this Agreement.
(q)
New Shares. In the event that, during the Interim Period, (i) any SPAC Securities are issued to Sponsor pursuant to any stock
dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of SPAC Securities, then such SPAC Securities issued
to or acquired by such Person shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) Sponsor (A) purchases or otherwise acquires
beneficial ownership of any SPAC Securities or (B) acquires the right to vote any SPAC Securities (such SPAC Securities issued or acquired,
collectively the “New Securities”), then such New Securities issued to or acquired or purchased by Sponsor
shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted the SPAC Securities owned by Sponsor as of
the date hereof.

AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT
THIS
NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is being executed and delivered as of June

WHEREAS,

Sub”), the Company and certain other persons party thereto have entered into that certain Business Combination Agreement
(as amended from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”);
WHEREAS,
pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, among other matters, upon the consummation

Delaware corporation pursuant to the Cayman Islands Companies Law (2020 Revision) and the applicable provisions of the Delaware General

owned subsidiary of the SPAC;
WHEREAS,
in connection with the Closing, SPAC will change its name to NuCube Holdings, Inc., and its ticker symbol to “NCUB” (SPAC,

WHEREAS,
the Company is, and will at the Closing be, engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and selling 15 megawatt and below
high-temperature solid state (i.e., using thermophotovoltaic technology) nuclear fission modular microreactors in the United States (the
“Business”);
WHEREAS,
in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Transactions”),
and to enable the SPAC to secure more fully the benefits of the Transactions, including the protection and maintenance of the goodwill
and confidential information of the Covered Parties, the SPAC has required that the Subject Party enter into this Agreement;
WHEREAS,
the Subject Party is entering into this Agreement in order to induce the SPAC to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and consummate
the Transactions, pursuant to which the Subject Party will directly or indirectly receive a material benefit; and
WHEREAS,
the Subject Party is an equity holder of the Company, and as a director and/or officer and an employee of the Company, has contributed
to the value of the Company and has obtained extensive and valuable knowledge and confidential information concerning the Business of
the Company.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
is hereby acknowledged, the Subject Party hereby agrees as follows:
1. Restriction
on Competition.
(a) Restriction.
During the period from and after the Closing and continuing until the date that is eighteen months following the Closing Date (such period,
the “Restricted Period”), the Subject Party will not, directly or indirectly, including through the Subject
Party’s Affiliates, without the prior written consent of the Parent (which may be withheld in its sole discretion), engage in the
Business as conducted on the Execution Date or as of the Closing Date anywhere in the United States or in any other markets in which
the Covered Parties are conducting the Business as of the Closing Date (the “Territory”), or own, manage, finance
or control, or participate in the ownership, management, financing or control of, or become engaged or serve as an officer, director,
member, partner, employee, agent, consultant, contractor, advisor or representative of, a business or entity that engages in the Business
in the Territory (a “Competitor”), in each case other than through or on behalf of the Parent, the Company,
or their respective subsidiaries (collectively, the “Covered Parties”) in the performance of the Subject Party’s
duties on behalf of the Covered Parties or in the Subject Party’s capacity as an equity investor in one or more of the Covered
Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subject Party shall not be prohibited from: (i) directly
or indirectly owning solely as a passive investment less than five percent (5%) in the aggregate of any class of capital stock of any
corporation if such stock is publicly traded and listed on any national securities exchange, regardless of whether or not such corporation
is a Competitor; (ii) owning a passive equity interest in a diversified private or public debt or equity investment fund (including
without limitation hedge and mutual funds) in which the Subject Party does not have the ability to control or exercise any managerial
influence over such fund; (iii) working for or becoming employed or engaged by a venture capital, private equity, or debt fund that
owns equity interests in a Competitor so long as the Subject Party does not serve as an officer, director, employee, advisor, or consultant,
or provide any services to any such Competitor; (iv) being employed by any government agency, college, university or other non-profit
research organization or performing speaking engagements and receiving honoraria in connection with such engagements; or (v) any
activity consented to in writing by the Parent; provided that in all such instances, the Subject Party continues to abide by all confidentiality
obligations in favor of the Covered Parties under all agreements containing such confidentiality obligations (“Permitted
Ownership”).
2
(b) Acknowledgment.
The Subject Party acknowledges and agrees, based upon the advice of legal counsel and/or on the Subject Party’s own education,
experience and training, that (i) the Subject Party possesses knowledge of the trade secrets and confidential information of the Covered
Parties and the Business, (ii) the Subject Party’s execution of this Agreement is a material inducement to the Parent and the Company
to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and consummate the Transactions and to realize the goodwill of the Company, for which
the Subject Party will receive a substantial direct or indirect financial benefit which the Subject Party agrees constitutes adequate
consideration for entering into this Agreement, and that the Parent and the Company would not have entered into the Business Combination
Agreement or consummated the Transactions but for the Subject Party’s agreements set forth in this Agreement, (iii) it would impair
the goodwill of the Covered Parties and reduce the value of the assets of the Covered Parties and could cause serious and irreparable
injury if the Subject Party were to use his ability and knowledge by engaging in the Business in the Territory in competition with a
Covered Party, and/or to otherwise breach the obligations contained herein and that the Covered Parties would not have an adequate remedy
at law because of the unique nature of the Business, (iv) the Subject Party has no intention of engaging in the Business (other than
through the Covered Parties) during the Restricted Period other than through Permitted Ownership, (v) the relevant public policy aspects
of restrictive covenants, covenants not to compete and non-solicitation provisions have been discussed, and every effort has been made
to limit the restrictions placed upon the Subject Party to those that are reasonable and necessary to protect the Covered Parties’
legitimate interests, (vi) the Covered Parties conduct and intend to conduct the Business everywhere in the Territory and compete
with other businesses that are or could be located in any part of the Territory, (vii) the foregoing restrictions on competition are
fair and reasonable in type of prohibited activity, geographic area covered, scope and duration and do not impose an undue hardship on
the Subject Party and will not prevent the Subject Party from earning a living, (viii) the consideration provided to the Subject Party
under this Agreement and the Business Combination Agreement is not illusory, and (ix) such provisions do not impose a greater restraint
than is necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interests of the Covered Parties.
2. No
Solicitation; No Disparagement.
(a) No
Solicitation of Employees and Consultants. During the Restricted Period, the Subject Party will not, directly or indirectly, including
through the Subject Party’s Affiliates, without the prior written consent of the Parent (which may, other than as contemplated
by the following clause (i), be withheld in its sole discretion), either on the Subject Party’s own behalf or on behalf
of any other Person (in each case other than a Covered Party in the performance of the Subject Party’s duties on behalf of the
Covered Parties): (i) hire or engage as an employee, independent contractor, consultant or otherwise any Covered Personnel (as defined
below), provided that with respect to this clause (i), the Parent’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; (ii) solicit,
induce, encourage or otherwise knowingly cause (or attempt to do any of the foregoing) any Covered Personnel to leave the service (whether
as an employee, consultant or independent contractor) of any Covered Party; or (iii) in any way interfere with or attempt to interfere
with the relationship between any Covered Personnel and any Covered Party; provided, however, the Subject Party and his, her or
its Affiliates will not be deemed to have violated this Section 2(a) if any Covered Personnel voluntarily and independently
solicits an offer of employment from the Subject Party or its Affiliate (or other Person whom any of them is acting on behalf of) by
responding to a general advertisement or solicitation program conducted by or on behalf of the Subject Party or its Affiliate (or such
other Person whom any of them is acting on behalf of) that is not targeted at such Covered Personnel or Covered Personnel generally.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Covered Personnel” shall mean any Person who is or was an employee, consultant
or independent contractor of the Covered Parties as of the Closing Date or during the six-month period preceding the Closing Date. The
terms “consultant” and “independent contractor” do not include Persons who are actively providing services in
their field to other companies, such as accounting or law firms.
3
(b) Non-Solicitation
of Customers and Suppliers. During the Restricted Period, the Subject Party will not directly or indirectly, including through the
Subject Party’s Affiliates, without the prior written consent of the Parent (which may be withheld in its sole discretion), either
on the Subject Party’s own behalf or on behalf of any other Person (in each case other than a Covered Party in the performance
of the Subject Party’s duties on behalf of the Covered Parties): (i) solicit, induce, encourage or otherwise knowingly cause (or
attempt to do any of the foregoing) any Covered Customer (as defined below) to (A) cease being, or not become, a client or customer of
any Covered Party with respect to the Business or (B) reduce the amount of business of such Covered Customer with any Covered Party with
respect to the Business, or otherwise alter such business relationship in a manner adverse to any Covered Party, in any such case, with
respect to or relating to the Business in the Territory; (ii) interfere with or disrupt (or attempt to interfere with or disrupt) the
contractual relationship between any Covered Party and any Covered Customer with respect to or relating to the Business in the Territory;
(iii) divert any business with any Covered Customer relating to the Business in the Territory from a Covered Party; (iv) solicit
for business, provide services to, engage in or do business with, any Covered Customer for products or services that are part of the
Business within the Territory; or (v) interfere with or disrupt (or attempt to interfere with or disrupt), any Person that was a vendor,
supplier, distributor, agent or other service provider of a Covered Party at the time of such interference or disruption, for a purpose
competitive with a Covered Party as it relates to the Business in the Territory. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Covered
Customer” shall mean any Person who is or was an actual customer, contractor or client (or prospective customer, contractor
or client with whom a Covered Party actively marketed or made or taken specific action to make a proposal) of a Covered Party as of the
Closing Date or during the six-month period immediately preceding the Closing Date.
(c) Non-Disparagement.
During the Restricted Period, the Subject Party will not directly or indirectly, including through the Subject Party’s Affiliates,
directly or indirectly engage in any conduct that involves the making or publishing (including through electronic mail distribution or
online social media) of any written or oral statements or remarks (including the repetition or distribution of derogatory rumors, allegations,
negative reports or comments) that are disparaging, deleterious or damaging to the integrity, reputation or good will of one or more
Covered Parties or their respective management, officers, employees, independent contractors or consultants (with respect to the Business
in the Territory). Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 3 below, the provisions of this Section 2(c)
shall not restrict the Subject Party from providing truthful testimony or information in response to a subpoena or investigation by a
Governmental Authority or in connection with any legal action against any Covered Party under this Agreement, the Business Combination
Agreement or any other Ancillary Document. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement prohibits the Subject Party from communicating
in good faith with a government agency, regulator or legal authority concerning any possible violations of federal or state or other
law or regulation (provided that the Subject Party is not authorized to waive attorney/client communications in doing so).
4
3. Representations
and Warranties. The Subject Party hereby represents and warrants, to and for the benefit of the Covered Parties as of the date of
this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, that: (a) the Subject Party has full capacity and competence to execute and deliver, and to
perform all of the Subject Party’s obligations under, this Agreement; and (b) neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement
nor the performance of the Subject Party’s obligations hereunder will result directly or indirectly in a violation or breach of
any agreement or obligation by which the Subject Party is a party or otherwise bound. By entering into this Agreement, the Subject Party
certifies and acknowledges that the Subject Party has carefully read all of the provisions of this Agreement, and that the Subject Party
voluntarily and knowingly enters into this Agreement.
4. Remedies.
The covenants and undertakings of the Subject Party contained in this Agreement relate to matters which are of a special, unique and
extraordinary character and a violation of any of the terms of this Agreement may cause irreparable injury to the Covered Parties, the
amount of which may be impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated. In the event of any breach or
threatened breach by the Subject Party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, each applicable Covered Party will
be entitled to seek the following remedies (in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedy at law or in equity or pursuant to the
Business Combination Agreement or the other Ancillary Documents that may be available to the Covered Parties, including monetary damages),
and a court of competent jurisdiction may award: (a) an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief restraining or preventing
such breach or threatened breach, without the necessity of proving actual damages or that monetary damages would be insufficient or posting
bond or security, which the Subject Party expressly waives, and (b) recovery of the Covered Party’s attorneys’ fees and costs
incurred in successfully enforcing the Covered Party’s rights under this Agreement. The Subject Party hereby consents to the award
of any of the above remedies to the applicable Covered Party in connection with any such breach or threatened breach. The Subject Party
hereby acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any breach of this Agreement, any value attributed or allocated to this Agreement
(or any other non-competition agreement with the Subject Party) under or in connection with the Business Combination Agreement shall
not be considered a measure of, or a limit on, the damages of the Covered Parties.
5. Survival
of Obligations. The expiration of the Restricted Period will not relieve the Subject Party of any obligation or liability arising
from any breach by the Subject Party of this Agreement during the Restricted Period. The Subject Party further agrees that the time period
during which the covenants contained in Sections 1, 2 and 3 of this Agreement will be effective will be computed by excluding from such
computation any time during which the Subject Party is in violation of any provision of such Sections.

(b) Integration
and Non-Exclusivity. This Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement and the other Ancillary Documents contain the entire agreement
between the Subject Party and the Covered Parties concerning the subject matter hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights and
remedies of the Covered Parties under this Agreement are not exclusive of or limited by any other rights or remedies which they may have,
whether at law, in equity, by contract or otherwise, all of which will be cumulative (and not alternative). Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the rights and remedies of the Covered Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Subject Party and its Affiliates,
under this Agreement, are in addition to their respective rights, remedies, obligations and liabilities (i) under the laws of unfair
competition, misappropriation of trade secrets, or other requirements of statutory or common law, or any applicable rules and regulations
and (ii) otherwise conferred by contract, including the Business Combination Agreement and any other written agreement between the Subject
Party or its Affiliate and any of the Covered Parties. Nothing in the Business Combination Agreement will limit any of the obligations,
liabilities, rights or remedies of the Subject Party or the Covered Parties under this Agreement, nor will any breach of the Business
Combination Agreement or any other agreement between the Subject Party or its Affiliate and any of the Covered Parties limit or otherwise
affect any right or remedy of the Covered Parties under this Agreement. If any term or condition of any other agreement between the Subject
Party, his, her or its Affiliate and any of the Covered Parties conflicts or is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
the more restrictive terms will control as to the Subject Party, his, her or its Affiliate, as applicable.
(c) Severability;
Reformation. Each provision of this Agreement is separable from every other provision of this Agreement. If any provision of this
Agreement is found or held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, by a court of competent jurisdiction, then (i)
such provision will be deemed amended to conform to applicable laws so as to be valid, legal and enforceable to the fullest possible
extent, (ii) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of such provision will not affect the validity, legality or enforceability
of such provision under any other circumstances or in any other jurisdiction, and (iii) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
of such provision will not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of such provision or the validity, legality
or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. The Subject Party and the Covered Parties will substitute for any invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable,
the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. Without limiting the foregoing, if any court of competent
jurisdiction determines that any part hereof is unenforceable because of the duration, geographic area covered, scope of such provision,
or otherwise, such court will have the power to reduce the duration, geographic area covered or scope of such provision, as the case
may be, and, in its reduced form, such provision will then be enforceable. The Subject Party will, at a Covered Party’s request,
join such Covered Party in requesting that such court take such action.
(d) Amendment;
Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any respect, except by a written agreement executed by the Subject Party
and the SPAC (or their respective permitted successors or assigns). No waiver will be effective unless it is expressly set forth in a
written instrument executed by the waiving party and any such waiver will have no effect except in the specific instance in which it
is given. Any delay or omission by a party in exercising its rights under this Agreement, or failure to insist upon strict compliance
with any term, covenant, or condition of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of such term, covenant, condition or right, nor will
any waiver or relinquishment of any right or power under this Agreement at any time or times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of
such right or power at any other time or times.
7
(e) Governing
Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof. All Actions
arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any state or federal court located in Wilmington,
Delaware (or in any appellate court thereof) (the “Specified Courts”). Each party hereto hereby (i) submits
to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Specified Courts for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought
by any party hereto, (ii) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such Action,
any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from
attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by any Specified Courts and (iii) waives any bond, surety
or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. Each party agrees that a final judgment in any Action
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party
irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other Action relating to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such party at
the applicable address set forth in Section 6(a). Nothing in this Section 6(e) shall affect the right of any party to serve
legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.
(f) WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY
HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT
OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO (i) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED,
EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (ii) ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS
IN THIS SECTION 6(f). ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 6(f) WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN
EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
(g) Successors
and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement will be binding upon the Subject Party and the Subject Party’s estate,
successors and assigns, and will inure to the benefit of the Covered Parties, and their respective successors and assigns. Each Covered
Party may freely assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement, at any time, in whole or in part, to any Person which acquires,
in one or more transactions, at least a majority of the equity securities (whether by equity sale, merger or otherwise) of such Covered
Party or all or substantially all of the assets of such Covered Party and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, without obtaining the consent
or approval of the Subject Party. The obligations of the Subject Party under this Agreement are personal and will not be assigned by
the Subject Party. Each of the Covered Parties are express third party beneficiaries of this Agreement and will be considered parties
under and for purposes of this Agreement.
8
(h) Construction.
The Subject Party acknowledges that the Subject Party has been represented by counsel, or had the opportunity to be represented by, counsel
of the Subject Party’s choice. Any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting
party will not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. Neither the drafting history nor the negotiating history
of this Agreement will be used or referred to in connection with the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. The headings and

when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. A photocopy,
faxed, scanned and/or emailed copy of this Agreement or any signature page to this Agreement, shall have the same validity and enforceability
as an originally signed copy.

REGISTRATIONS
2.1
Shelf Registration.
2.1.1
Filing. Within twenty (20) Business Days following the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”), the Company shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-1 (the
“Form S-1 Shelf”) or a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-3 (the “Form S-3 Shelf”
and each, a “Shelf”), if the Company is then eligible to use a Form S-3 Shelf, in each case, covering the resale of
all the Registrable Securities (determined as of two Business Days prior to such submission or filing) on a delayed or continuous basis
as permitted by Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) and
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Shelf declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof,
but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the Commission notifies the Company that it will
“review” the Registration Statement) following the earlier of (A) the filing of the Registration Statement and (B) the Filing
Deadline, and (ii) the 10th Business Day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission
that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review by the Commission (such deadline
the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided that if the Filing Deadline or Effectiveness Deadline falls on a Saturday,
Sunday or other day that the Commission is closed for business, the Filing Deadline or Effectiveness Deadline, as the case may be, shall
be extended to the next Business Day on which the Commission is open for business; provided further that if the Commission is
closed for operations due to a government shutdown, the Filing Deadline or the Effectiveness Deadline, as the case may be, shall be extended
by the same number of Business Days that the Commission remains closed following such Filing Deadline or Effectiveness Deadline, as applicable.
Such Shelf shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods
legally available (the “Plan of Distribution”) to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. The Company shall maintain
a Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall take commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the Commission such
amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be reasonably necessary to keep a Shelf continuously effective,
available for use to permit the Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the
provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. In the event the Company files a
Form S-1 Shelf, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration
Statement) to a Form S-3 Shelf as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3. In the event that the Company files
a Form S-3 Shelf, and thereafter the Company becomes ineligible to use a Form S-3 Shelf, the Company shall promptly notify the Holders
of such ineligibility and use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-3 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration
Statement) to a Form S-1 Shelf as soon as practicable after the Company becomes ineligible eligible to use Form S-3. The Company’s
obligation under this Section 2.1.1, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 2.3.
7
2.1.2
Subsequent Shelf Registration. If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable
Securities are still outstanding, the Company shall, subject to Section 2.3, use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as
is reasonably practicable cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including using its commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any
order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional registration statement as a Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent
Shelf Registration Statement”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two Business Days prior
to such filing), and pursuant to the Plan of Distribution. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement is filed, the Company shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities
Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement
shall be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) if the Company is a
well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) at the most recent applicable eligibility determination
date) and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use to permit the Holders named
therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such
time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 to the
extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be on another appropriate
form. The Company’s obligation under this Section 2.1.2, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 2.3.
2.1.3
Additional Registration Statement(s). Subject to Section 2.3, in the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that are
not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, the Company, upon written request of such Holder at any time beginning 30
days prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period or Earnout Shares Lock-Up Period applicable to such Registrable Securities (if applicable),
shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by filing a Subsequent
Shelf Registration Statement and cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and such Subsequent Shelf
Registration Statement shall be subject to the terms hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall only be required to cause
such additional Registrable Securities to be so covered twice per calendar year for each of (i) Sponsor, officers or directors of the
Company or their affiliates, or the transferees of the foregoing (the “Sponsor Holders”) or their Permitted Transferees,
and (ii) the NuCube Holders or their Permitted Transferees.
2.1.4
Requests for Underwritten Offerings. Subject to subsection 2.1.5 and Section 2.3, at any time and from time to time and beginning
30 days prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period or Earnout Shares Lock-Up Period applicable to such Registrable Securities (if
applicable), (i) the Holders of at least a majority-in-interest of the then-outstanding number of Registrable Securities held by the
Sponsor Holders or their Permitted Transferees, (ii) the Holders of at least a majority-in-interest of the then-outstanding number of
Registrable Securities held by the NuCube Holders or their Permitted Transferees, or (iii) Cantor and/or its designees (the “Demanding
Holders”) may request to sell all or any portion of their respective Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering that
is registered pursuant to the Shelf (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided that the Company shall
only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Offering following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period or Earnout Shares Lock-Up Period
applicable to such Registrable Securities (if applicable) if such offering shall include Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by
the Demanding Holder, either individually or together with other Demanding Holders, with a total offering price reasonably expected to
exceed, in the aggregate, $20,000,000 (the “Minimum Takedown Threshold”). All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns
shall be made by giving written notice to the Company, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed
to be sold in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. The initial Demanding Holder shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such
offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks), subject to the Company’s prior
approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The (i) Sponsor Holders and (ii) NuCube Holders, may each
demand not more than two Underwritten Offerings pursuant to this Section 2.1.4 in any 12 month period, for an aggregate of not more than
four Underwritten Offerings pursuant to this Section 2.1.4 in any 12 month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
the Company may effect any Underwritten Offering pursuant to any then effective Registration Statement, including a Form S-3, that is
then available for such offering.
8
2.1.5
Reduction of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering, in good faith, advises
the Company, the Demanding Holders and the Holders requesting piggy-back rights pursuant to Section 2.2 with respect to such Underwritten
Offering (such Holders, the “Requesting Holders”) (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable
Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Company
Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and all other shares of Company Common Stock or other equity
securities, if any, that have been requested to be sold in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back
registration rights held by any other stockholders, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can
be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or
the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum
Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, before including any shares of Company
Common Stock or other equity securities proposed to be sold by Company or by other holders of Company Common Stock or other equity securities,
(i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities (pro
rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten
Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that all of the Demanding Holders have requested be included in such Underwritten
Offering); (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the
Registrable Securities of the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each
Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities
that all of the Requesting Holders have requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering) that can be sold without exceeding the
Maximum Number of Securities, and (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing
clauses (i) and (ii), the Company Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, and any persons (other than
Holders of Registrable Securities) to whom the Company has granted registration rights pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements
with such persons (“Other Holders”) have requested be included in such Underwritten Offering, that can be sold without
exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities (allocated among the Company and such Other Holders as provided in such separate written contractual
arrangements).
2.1.6
Withdrawal. Prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing
such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating an Underwritten Offering shall have the
right to withdraw from such Underwritten Offering for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification (a “Withdrawal Notice”)
to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown; provided
that a Sponsor Holder, NuCube Holder or Cantor may elect to have the Company continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if the Minimum Takedown
Threshold would still be satisfied by the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown by the Sponsor,
NuCube Holders, Cantor or any of their respective Permitted Transferees, as applicable. If withdrawn, a demand for an Underwritten Shelf
Takedown shall constitute a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown by the withdrawing Demanding Holder for purposes of Section 2.1.4.
Following the receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, the Company shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Holders that had
elected to participate in such Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be
responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with an Underwritten Offering prior to its withdrawal under this Section
2.1.6.
9
2.2
Piggyback Registration.
2.2.1
Piggyback Rights. If the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act or a Prospectus for an Underwritten
Offering to be conducted off of a Shelf with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable
or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of stockholders of the Company (or
by the Company and by the stockholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1), other than a Registration
Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee share option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities
solely to the Company’s existing stockholders, (iii) for an offering of debt, whether or not such debt is convertible into equity
securities of the Company, (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, or (v) to register the offering of securities in connection with a
transaction to be registered on Form S-4, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to all of the Holders of
Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but not less than ten days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement,
which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution,
and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable
Securities the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing that
are not then subject to a Lock-Up Period or Earnout Shares Lock-Up Period (if applicable) within five days after receipt of such written
notice (such Registration a “Piggyback Registration”). The Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities
to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed
Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this subsection 2.2.1 (to the extent
that such Registrable Securities are not then subject to a Lock-Up Period or Earnout Shares Lock-Up Period) to be included in a Piggyback
Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such Registration and to permit the
sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All such
Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.2.1 shall enter
into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Cantor may not exercise its “piggyback” registration rights after seven years from the commencement of sales
of the Company’s initial public offering.
2.2.2
Reduction of Piggyback Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration that is to be
a Piggyback Registration (other than an Underwritten Shelf Takedown), in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable
Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of the shares of Company Common Stock
that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) the shares of Company Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been
demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with Other Holders, (ii) the Registrable Securities as to which registration
has been requested pursuant to Section 2.2, and (iii) the shares of Company Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested
pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number
of Securities, then:
(a)
If the Registration is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first, the
shares of Company Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum
Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause
(A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1
pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that such Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten
Registration or Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Shelf, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and
(C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares
of Company Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration
rights of Other Holders, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and
10
(b)
If the Registration is pursuant to a request by Other Holders, then the Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first, the
shares of Company Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting Other Holders which can be sold without exceeding
the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing
clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection
2.2.1, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Registration
and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be included in such Registration, which can be
sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been
reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Company Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires
to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.
2.2.3
Piggyback Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration
for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or
its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to (a) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, the date on which the
roadshow for such Underwritten Offering is launched, and (b) otherwise, the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the
Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of
a request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed
with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in
connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.2.3.
2.2.4
Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall
not be counted as a demand effected under Section 2.1, and there shall be no limit on the number of Piggyback Registrations.
2.2.5
Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under
this Section 2.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder of Registrable Securities has elected to include
securities in such registration.
2.3
Restrictions on Registration Rights. If (a) during the period starting with the date 60 days prior to the Company’s good
faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date 120 days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated Registration;
(b) the Holders have requested an Underwritten Offering and the Company and the Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters
to firmly underwrite the offer; (c) within 120 days after the effective date of a previous Underwritten Shelf Takedown or a previous
Piggyback Registration in which holders of Registrable Securities were permitted to register, and actually sold, 75% of the Registrable
Securities requested to be included therein; or (d) in the good faith judgment of the Board such Registration would (i) require the Company
to make an Adverse Disclosure or would otherwise be detrimental to the Company, (ii) require financial statements that are (x) unavailable
to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, (y) audited financial statements as of a date other than the Company’s
fiscal year end (unless the Holders requesting Registration agree to pay the reasonable expenses of this audit), or (z) pro
forma financial statements, or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act;
and in each such case the Board concludes as a result that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company to defer the filing
of such Registration Statement at such time, then in each case the Company shall furnish to such Holders written notice that the Board
has deferred the filing of such Registration Statement. In such event, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period
of not more than 90 days; provided, however, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than two times in any
12-month period.
11
2.4
Legends. In connection with any sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities by a Holder pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission) and upon compliance by the Holder with the
requirements of this Section 2.4, if requested by the Holder, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the transfer
agent for the Registrable Securities (the “Transfer Agent”) to remove any restrictive legends related to the book
entry account holding such Registrable Securities and make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry shares sold or disposed of without
restrictive legends within two trading days of any such request therefor from the Holder; provided that the Company and the Transfer
Agent have timely received from the Holder customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company and
the Transfer Agent in connection therewith. Subject to receipt from the Holder by the Company and the Transfer Agent of customary representations
and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith, the Holder may request that
the Company remove any legend from the book entry position evidencing its Registrable Securities and the Company will, if required by
the Transfer Agent, use its commercially reasonable efforts cause an opinion of the Company’s counsel be provided, in a form reasonably
acceptable to the Transfer Agent, to the effect that the removal of such restrictive legends in such circumstances may be effected under
the Securities Act, following the earliest of such time as such Registrable Securities (i) are subject to or have been or are about to
be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or (ii) have been or are about to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission). If restrictive legends are no longer required for
such Registrable Securities pursuant to the foregoing, the Company shall, in accordance with the provisions of this section and within
two trading days of any request therefor from the Holder accompanied by such customary and reasonably acceptable representations and
other documentation referred to above establishing that restrictive legends are no longer required, deliver to the Transfer Agent irrevocable
instructions that the Transfer Agent shall make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry shares. The Company shall be responsible
for the fees of its Transfer Agent, its legal counsel and all DTC fees associated with such issuance.
2.5
Market Stand-Off. In connection with any Underwritten Offering, if requested by the Underwriters managing the offering, each Holder
agrees not to, and to execute a customary lock-up agreement (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all such
Holders, including customary waiver “most favored nation” provisions) in favor of the managing Underwriters to not, sell
or dispose of any shares of Company Common Stock (other than those included in such offering pursuant to this Agreement), without the
prior written consent of the Company, during the ninety (90)-day period (or such shorter time agreed to by the managing Underwriters)
beginning on the date of pricing of such offering, except as expressly permitted by such lock-up agreement or in the event the managing
Underwriters otherwise agree by written consent. In addition, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each
executive officer or director of the Company and each beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Company
Common Stock to execute such a customary lock-up agreement.

COMPANY PROCEDURES
3.1
General Procedures. If at any time on or after the Closing Date the Company is required to effect the Registration of Registrable
Securities, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect such Registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities
in accordance with the intended plan of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:
3.1.1
prepare and file with the Commission as soon as practicable a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and
use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective until all Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or are no longer outstanding;
12
3.1.2
prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement, and such supplements
to the Prospectus, as may be reasonably requested by the majority-in-interest of the Holders or any Underwriter of Registrable Securities
or as may be required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company or by the Securities
Act or rules and regulations thereunder to keep the Registration Statement effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement are sold in accordance with the intended plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement
to the Prospectus or are no longer outstanding;
3.1.3
prior to filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the Underwriters,
if any, and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration, and such Holders’ and Underwriters’ legal
counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement
(in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration
Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus), and such other documents as the Underwriters and the Holders of Registrable Securities
included in such Registration or the legal counsel for any such Holders and Underwriters may reasonably request in order to facilitate
the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holders; provided that the Company will not have any obligation to
provide any document pursuant to this clause that is available on the Commission’s EDGAR system;
3.1.4
prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities
covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States
as the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may
request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered
with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and
do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such
Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify
or take any action to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then
otherwise so subject;
3.1.5
cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities
issued by the Company are then listed;
3.1.6
provide a transfer agent or warrant agent, as applicable, and registrar for all such Registrable Securities no later than the effective
date of such Registration Statement;
3.1.7
advise each seller of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance
of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any
proceeding for such purpose and promptly use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal
if such stop order should be issued;
13
3.1.8
at least five days prior to the filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration
Statement furnish a copy thereof to each seller of such Registrable Securities and its counsel, including, without limitation, providing
copies promptly upon receipt of any comment letters received with respect to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus; provided
that the Company will not have any obligation to provide any document pursuant to this clause that is or will become available on the
Commission’s EDGAR system;
3.1.9
notify the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes
a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4;
3.1.10
permit a representative of the Holders (such representative to be selected by a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders), the
Underwriters, if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate, at each such person’s
own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply
all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with the Registration;
provided, however, that such representatives or Underwriters enter into a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information;
3.1.11
obtain a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten
Registration which the participating Holders may rely on, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered
by “cold comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest
of the participating Holders;
3.1.12
on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion, dated such date, of counsel
representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Holders, the placement agent or sales agent, if any,
and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being
given as the Holders, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions
and negative assurance letters, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders;
3.1.13
in the event of any Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary
form, with the managing Underwriter of such offering;
3.1.14
make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least 12 months
beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement
which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter
by the Commission), and which requirement will be deemed to be satisfied if the Company timely files complete and accurate information
on Forms 10-Q, 10-K and 8-K under the Exchange Act and otherwise complies with Rule 158 under the Securities Act;
14
3.1.15
if the Registration involves the Registration of Registrable Securities involving gross proceeds in excess of $50,000,000, use its reasonable
efforts to make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may
be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in any Underwritten Offering; and
3.1.16
otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in
connection with such Registration, including, without limitation, making senior executives of the Company available during normal business
hours to participate in any due diligence sessions that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter(s) in any Underwritten Offering.
3.2
Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the
Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’
commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration
Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.
3.3
Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Holder
does not provide the Company with such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such
Registration Statement or Prospectus, the Company may exclude such Holder’s Registrable Securities from the applicable Registration
Statement or Prospectus if the Company determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such information is necessary to effect the registration
and such Holder continues thereafter to withhold such information. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity
securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s
securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary
questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be
reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.
3.4
Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus
contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until he, she or it has
received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants
to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until he, she or it is advised
in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration
Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion
in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control,
the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend
use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than 30 days, determined in good faith by the
Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree
to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration
in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration
of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4.
15
3.5
Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting
company under the Exchange Act, shall expend commercially reasonable efforts to (a) file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof
and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections
13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings, and (b) take
such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell
shares of Company Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions
provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including
using commercially reasonable efforts to cause any legal opinions to be delivered. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall
deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
3.6
Limitations on Registration Rights. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Cantor or its designees or Permitted Transferees
may not exercise their rights under Sections 2.1 and 2.2 hereunder after five and seven years from the commencement of sales in the Company’s
initial public offering, respectively.

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION
4.1
Indemnification.
4.1.1
The Company shall indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each
person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such Holder against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration
Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which
they were made, not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the
Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each
person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such Underwriters to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with
respect to the indemnification of the Holder.
4.1.2
In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish
to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration
Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each
person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Company against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
(including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the
Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue
statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein;
provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable
Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds
received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities
shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such
Underwriters to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.
16
4.1.3
Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect
to which it seeks indemnification; provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to
indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party or the defense of such claim,
and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying
parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any
settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees
and expenses of more than one counsel (plus local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such
claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and
any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified
party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money
(and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as
an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect
to such claim or litigation.
4.1.4
The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or
on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer
of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions
as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s
indemnification is unavailable for any reason.
4.1.5
If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified
party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of
indemnifying the indemnified party, shall, to the extent permitted by law, contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified
party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault
of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question,
including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made
by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified
party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however,
that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder
in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities
referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3, any legal or
other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation
or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 4.1.5.
No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution
pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
4.2
Waiver of Medallion Guaranty. The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into an indemnification agreement
in customary form, in favor of Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (or any successor transfer agent or warrant agent of the
Company) in connection with the waiver of any requirement to provide a medallion guarantee in connection with any Transfer of any equity
securities of the Company by the Sponsor, Cantor or any NuCube Holder.

Agreement (which may be accomplished by an addendum or certificate of joinder to this Agreement). Any transfer or assignment made other

5.3
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts (including facsimile or PDF counterparts), each of which

5.4
Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.
5.4.1
This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York without regard to the

18
5.4.2
