Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.
Each of the undersigned in its, his or her capacity as a holder of shares of Class B Common Stock (each, in such capacity, a Class B Holder) hereby agrees with and for the benefit of the Company and Altus that:
(1) effective upon the Closing, each Class B Holder shall surrender to PubCo 30% of the shares of Class B Common Stock held by such Class B Holder, with Annex A hereto setting forth the number of shares of Class B Common Stock each such Class B Holder shall own immediately following such surrender; and
(2) from and after the date hereof, no Class B Holders shall Transfer (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) any shares of Class B Common Stock, except (a) to a Permitted Transferee (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement), (b) in the case of an individual, by virtue of Laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or (c) as consented to by the PubCo Board following the Closing; provided that any such Transfer shall be subject to the transferee of such shares of Class B Common Stock agreeing in writing with the Company and Altus (or following the Closing, PubCo) to be bound by the same restrictions.

This letter shall terminate immediately upon the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms.
This letter shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or result would require or permit the applicable of Laws of another jurisdiction.
