WHEREAS, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and in view of the valuable consideration to be received by the Holder thereunder, PubCo and the Holder desire to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which the Shares shall become subject to the limitations on disposition, risk of forfeiture and other restrictions as set forth herein.

(b)            the term “Immediate Family” means, with respect to any natural person, any of the following: (i) such person’s spouse; (ii) the siblings of such person and his or her spouse; and (iii) the direct descendants and ascendants (including adopted and step children and parents) of such person and his or her spouses and siblings;

(c)            the term “Lock-Up Period” means the period beginning on the date of the consummation of the Share Contribution and ending on the earlier of: (i) the date that is six months after the Closing Date; or (ii) the consummation of a Change of Control of PubCo;

(d)            the term “Lock-Up Shares” means the Shares, and for the avoidance of any doubt shall exclude (i) PubCo Ordinary Shares acquired in the public market after the Closing Date and (ii) PubCo Ordinary Shares acquired pursuant to a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act after the Closing Date;

(e)            the term “Permitted Transferees” means any Person to whom the Holder is permitted to transfer Lock-Up Shares prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period pursuant to Section 3(a); and

(f)             the term “Transfer” means the (i) sale of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of, or agree to dispose of, or establishment or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to, or decrease of a call equivalent position, within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, with respect to, any security, (ii) entry into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another Person, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) public announcement of any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii).

2.            Earnout Shares. The parties hereto hereby agree that (x) 20,588,235 PubCo Ordinary Shares, representing 70% of the PubCo Ordinary Shares to be held by the Holder immediately following the Effective Time, shall be fully vested and freely tradable, subject only to the restrictions set forth in the Securities Act or set forth herein and (y) 8,823,529 PubCo Ordinary Shares, representing the remaining 30% of the PubCo Ordinary Shares to be held by the Holder immediately following the Effective Time, shall be subject to vesting and forfeiture as described below (the “Earnout Shares”).

(a)            The Earnout Shares shall become fully vested if, at any time from the Effective Time through the date that is the eighth anniversary of the Effective Time, the VWAP of PubCo Ordinary Shares is greater than or equal to $12.50 (the “Price Target”) over any 20 trading days within any 30-day trading period (the “Triggering Event”); provided, that the Price Target shall be equitably adjusted for any share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions affecting the PubCo Ordinary Shares. For purposes hereof, “VWAP” means, for any security as of any date(s), the dollar volume-weighted average price for such security on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which such security is then traded during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York time, and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg through its “HP” function (set to weighted average) or, if the foregoing does not apply, the dollar volume-weighted average price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York time, and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no dollar volume-weighted average price is reported for such security by Bloomberg for such hours, the average of the highest closing bid price and the lowest closing ask price of any of the market makers for such security as reported by OTC Markets Group Inc.

(b)            In the event that there is a Change of Control of PubCo after the Effective Time and prior to the date that is the eighth anniversary of the Effective Time, and the corresponding valuation of PubCo Ordinary Shares implied by that Change of Control (taking into account the Earnout Shares that will vest upon such Change of Control and all other PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable or vesting upon such Change of Control) is greater than or equal to the Price Target, the Earnout Shares (to the extent not already fully vested in connection with a Triggering Event) shall become fully vested immediately prior to such Change of Control, such that the holders of the Earnout Shares shall be entitled to receive in such Change of Control the consideration which would have been issuable or payable to them in such Change of Control (including the right to elect to receive different forms of consideration) if they had held the Earnout Shares immediately prior to the consummation thereof.

(c)            Within five Business Days after the occurrence of a Triggering Event or a Change of Control of PubCo resulting in a vesting of Earnout Shares, PubCo shall cause its transfer agent to note the vesting of the appropriate number of Earnout Shares on its share ledger records.

(d)            If by the eighth anniversary of the Effective Time any Earnout Shares shall not have vested, such Earnout Shares shall be forfeited and shall be delivered in certificated or book-entry form to PubCo for cancellation for no consideration and shall cease to represent any interest in PubCo, effective as of such date.

3.            Lock-Up Provisions.

(a)            Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Section 3(b), the Holder or any of its Permitted Transferees may Transfer any or all of the Lock-Up Shares other than unvested Earnout Shares (the “Nonforfeitable Lockup-Up Shares”) during the Lock-Up Period: (i) to the Holder’s officers, directors, managers or management committee members; (ii) to any Affiliates of the Holder or such Affiliate’s officers, directors, managers or management committee members; (iii) in the case of any such Permitted Transferee being an individual, by gift to a member of such individual’s Immediate Family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of such individual’s Immediate Family or to a charitable organization; (iv) in the case of any such Permitted Transferee being an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of such individual; (v) in the case of any such Permitted Transferee being an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (vi) to any partners (general or limited), members, shareholders or holders of similar Equity Securities of the Holder (or, in each case, its nominee or custodian) or any of their respective Affiliates; (vii) by virtue of applicable Law or the Holder’s Governing Documents upon liquidation or dissolution of the Holder; (viii) in connection with any pledge, hypothecation or other granting of a security interest in the Nonforfeitable Lock-Up Shares to one or more lending institutions as collateral or security for any borrowing or the incurrence of any indebtedness by the Holder (provided, that such borrowing or incurrence of indebtedness is secured by a portfolio of assets or Equity Securities issued by multiple issuers); (ix) pursuant to a bona fide tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction, in each case, made to all holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares, involving a Change of Control (including negotiating and entering into an agreement providing for any such transaction); provided, that in the event that such tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, all Nonforfeitable Lock-Up Shares shall remain subject to the provisions of Section 3(b); or (x) to the Holder; provided, however, that, in the case of clauses (i) through (ix), any such Permitted Transferees shall enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by the provisions set forth in this Section 3 prior to or concurrently with such Transfer.

(b)            The Holder hereby agrees that it shall not, and shall cause any of its Permitted Transferees to not, Transfer (i) any Lock-Up Shares during the Lock-Up Period or (ii) any unvested Earnout Shares while such Earnout Shares remain unvested.

(c)            During the Lock-Up Period, each certificate (if any are issued) evidencing any Lock-Up Shares shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends:

A COPY OF SUCH LOCK-UP AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”

Promptly upon the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, PubCo shall take all reasonable steps required to remove such legend from the certificates evidencing the Lock-Up Shares, including issuing new share certificates (if any are issued) in respect of the Lock-Up Shares.

(d)            Until an Earnout Share is fully vested, each certificate (if any are issued) evidencing such Earnout Share shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends:

A COPY OF SUCH LOCK-UP AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”

Promptly upon the vesting of the Earnout Shares, PubCo shall take all reasonable steps required to remove such legend from the certificates evidencing the Earnout Shares, including issuing new share certificates (if any are issued) in respect of the Earnout Shares.

(e)            For the avoidance of any doubt, the Holder shall retain all of its rights as a shareholder of PubCo with respect to (i) the Lock-Up Shares during the Lock-Up Period, including the right to vote any Lock-Up Shares and (ii) the Earnout Shares while they are subject to vesting, including the right to vote any Earnout Shares.

4.            Miscellaneous.

(b)            Transfers. If any Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, and PubCo shall refuse to recognize any such transferee of the Lock-Up Shares or the Earnout Shares as one of its shareholders for any purpose. In order to enforce this Section 4(b), PubCo may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to (i) any relevant Lock-Up Shares (and any permitted transferees and assigns thereof), as applicable, until the expiration of the Lock-Up Period and (ii) any relevant Earnout Shares (and any permitted transferees and assigns thereof), as applicable, until the Earnout Shares are fully vested.
