WHEREAS, the Company’s current operating agreement is the Seventh Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, dated April 27, 2018, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Seventh Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, dated July 2, 2019, as further amended by that certain Second Amendment to Seventh Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, dated August 17, 2021, and as further amended by that Third Amendment to Seventh Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, dated August 15, 2022 (the “Seventh Amended and Restated Operating Agreement”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the Merger (as defined in this Agreement), the Members of the Company desire to amend and restate the Seventh Amended and Restated Operating Agreement in its entirety by this Eighth Amended and Restated Operating Agreement (the “Eighth Amended and Restated Operating Agreement”), with this Eighth Amended and Restated Operating Agreement superseding and replacing the Seventh Amended and Restated Operating Agreement in its entirety; and

WHEREAS, immediately upon the effectiveness of this Agreement and without any action required on part of the Company or any Member, the Recapitalization (as defined in this Agreement) occurs.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement to the contrary, the rights and obligations of the Members and the administration and termination of the Company shall be governed by the Act. The Certificate of Formation and all actions taken or to be taken by any person who executed and filed or who executes and files, after the date of this Agreement, the Certificate of Formation or any amendment thereto are hereby adopted and ratified, or authorized, as the case may be.

Section 1.2 Name. The name of the Company is “Rubicon Technologies Holdings, LLC.” The Company may also conduct business at the same time under one or more fictitious names if the Managing Member determines that such is in the best interests of the Company. The Company may change its name, from time to time, in accordance with Law.

Section 1.3 Principal Place of Business; Other Places of Business. The principal business office of the Company is located at 950 East Paces Ferry Road, Suite 1900, Atlanta, GA 30326, or such other place within or outside the State of Delaware as the Managing Member may from time to time designate. The Company may maintain offices and places of business at such other place or places within or outside the State of Delaware as the Managing Member deems advisable.

Section 1.4 Designated Agent for Service of Process. So long as required by the Act, the Company shall continuously maintain a registered office and a designated and duly qualified agent for service of process on the Company in the State of Delaware.

Section 1.5 Term.

Notwithstanding the dissolution of the Company, the existence of the Company shall continue until its termination pursuant to this Agreement or as otherwise provided in the Act.

Section 1.6 No State Law Partnership. The Members intend that the Company shall not be a partnership (including a limited partnership) or joint venture, and that no Member shall be an agent, partner or joint venturer of any other Member, for any purposes other than for U.S. federal, state, and local tax purposes, and this Agreement shall not be construed to suggest otherwise. Each Member hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly provided herein, in performing its obligations or exercising its rights under this Agreement, it is acting independently and is not acting in concert with, on behalf of, as agent for, or as joint venturer of, any other Member. Other than in respect of the Company, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as creating a corporation, association, joint stock company, business trust, or organized group of Persons, whether incorporated or not, among or involving any Member or its Affiliates, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as creating or requiring any continuing relationship or commitment as between such parties other than as specifically set forth in this Agreement.

Section 1.9 Certificates; Filings. The Certificate of Formation was previously filed on behalf of the Company in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as required by the Act. The Managing Member may execute and file any duly authorized amendments to the Certificate of Formation from time to time in a form prescribed by the Act. The Managing Member shall also cause to be made, on behalf of the Company, such additional filings and recordings as the Managing Member shall deem necessary or advisable. If requested by the Managing Member, the Members shall promptly execute all certificates and other documents consistent with the terms of this Agreement necessary for the Managing Member to accomplish all filing, recording, publishing, and other acts as may be appropriate to comply with all requirements for (a) the formation and operation of a limited liability company under the Laws of the State of Delaware, (b) if the Managing Member deems it advisable, the operation of the Company as a limited liability company, in all jurisdictions in which the Company proposes to operate, and (c) all other filings required (or determined by the Managing Member to be necessary or appropriate) to be made by the Company.

Section 1.10 Representations and Warranties by the Members.

(b) Non-Individual-Member-Specific Representations. Each Member that is not an individual (including each Additional Member or Substituted Member as a condition to becoming an Additional Member or a Substituted Member) represents and warrants to, and covenants with, each other Member that (i) the execution of this Agreement and all transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be performed by it have been duly authorized by all necessary action, including that of its general partner(s), managing member(s), committee(s), trustee(s), beneficiaries, directors and/or stockholder(s) (as the case may be) as required, (ii) the execution of this Agreement and consummation of such transactions will not result in a breach or violation of, or a default under, its partnership or operating agreement, trust agreement, charter or bylaws (as the case may be), any material agreement by which such Member or any of such Member’s properties or any of its partners, members, beneficiaries, trustees or stockholders (as the case may be) is or are bound, or any statute, regulation, order or other Law to which such Member or any of its partners, members, trustees, beneficiaries or stockholders (as the case may be) is or are subject, and (iii) this Agreement is binding upon, and enforceable against, such Member in accordance with its terms, except (A) to the extent that enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (B) that the availability of equitable remedies, including specific performance, is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding thereof may be brought.

Each Member further represents and warrants that it is a sophisticated investor, able and accustomed to handling sophisticated financial matters for itself, and that it has a sufficiently high net worth that it does not anticipate a need for the funds that it has invested in the Company in what it understands to be a speculative and illiquid investment.

(d) Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties contained in Sections ‎1.10(a), ‎1.10(b), and ‎1.10(c) shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement by each Member (and, in the case of an Additional Member or a Substituted Member, the admission of such Additional Member or Substituted Member as a Member in the Company), and the dissolution, liquidation, and termination of the Company.

(f) Modification of Representations and Warranties.

Article II

(i) The Series A Units, Series B Units, Series C Units, Series D Units, Series E Units, and Common Units (each as defined in the Seventh Amended and Restated Operating Agreement) of the Company issued and outstanding immediately before the effective time of this Agreement shall be recapitalized into Class B Units of the Company in the amount set forth opposite the name of the Member on the Register; and

Upon the issuance of any additional Unit, the Managing Member shall amend the Register and the books and records of the Company as appropriate to reflect such issuance. Except to the extent specifically set forth in any Unit Designation, a Unit of any class or series other than a Common Unit shall not entitle the holder thereof to vote on, or consent to, any matter.

(i) The additional Units are issued to all Members holding Common Units in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests in the Common Units;

(vii) The additional Units are issued in accordance with the express terms of the other provisions of this ‎Article II (other than ‎Section 2.4(a)).

(c) Issuances of Class B Units. No additional Class B Units shall be issued except (1) in the event of a recapitalization of the Capital Stock of the Managing Member, including any stock split, stock dividend, reclassification or similar transaction or (2) as Earnout Shares in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

(d) No Preemptive Rights. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or in any Unit Designation, no Person shall have any preemptive, preferential, participation or similar right or rights to subscribe for or acquire any Unit.

Section 2.5 Additional Funds and Additional Capital Contributions

(a) General. The Company may, at any time and from time to time, determine that it requires additional funds (“Additional Funds”) for the acquisition or development of additional Assets, for the redemption of Units, or for such other purposes as the Company may determine. Additional Funds may be obtained by the Company in any manner provided in, and in accordance with, the terms of this ‎‎Section 2.5 without the approval of any Member or any other Person.

(b) Additional Capital Contributions. The Company may obtain any Additional Funds by accepting Capital Contributions from any Members or other Persons. In connection with any such Capital Contribution, the Company is hereby authorized from time to time to issue additional Units (as set forth in ‎Section 2.4) in consideration for such Capital Contribution.

(c) Loans by Third Parties. The Company may obtain any Additional Funds by incurring Debt payable to any Person upon such terms as the Company determines appropriate, including making such Debt convertible, redeemable, or exchangeable for Units; provided, however, that the Company shall not incur any such Debt if any Member would be personally liable for the repayment of all or any portion of such Debt unless that Member otherwise agrees in writing.

(d) Issuance of Securities by the Managing Member.

Unless otherwise agreed to by the Members, after the completion of the SPAC Transaction, except in the case of a Liquidity Offering for purposes of a Cash Settlement, the Managing Member shall not issue any additional Capital Stock or New Securities unless (1) such Capital Stock or New Securities are issued in accordance with the Incentive Compensation Plan of the Managing Member to an employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or (2) the Managing Member contributes the net proceeds received from the issuance of such additional Capital Stock or New Securities (as the case may be) and from the exercise of the rights contained in any such additional Capital Stock or New Securities to the Company in exchange for (i) in the case of an issuance of Class A Common Stock, Class A Units, (ii) in the case of an issuance of Class V Common Stock, Class B Units, or (iii) in the case of an issuance of Preferred Stock or New Securities, Equivalent Units. If at any time any Preferred Stock or New Securities are issued that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A Common Stock or another security of the Managing Member, then upon any such conversion or exercise, the corresponding Equivalent Unit shall be similarly converted or exercised, as applicable, and an equivalent number of Class A Units or other Equivalent Units shall be issued to the Managing Member. It is the intent of the parties that the Managing Member will always maintain a one-to-one ratio of Units to its outstanding Capital Stock (other than Class V Common Stock), except as provided pursuant to ‎Section 11.4, and the parties hereby acknowledge that the Managing Member may undertake all actions, subject to applicable Law and the terms of any such outstanding Capital Stock, in order to maintain such ratio.

(e) Reimbursement of Issuance Expenses. If the Managing Member issues additional Capital Stock or New Securities and contributes the net proceeds (after deduction of any underwriters’ discounts and commissions) received from such issuance to the Company pursuant to Section 2.5(d), the Company shall reimburse or assume (on an after-tax basis) the Managing Member’s expenses associated with such issuance.

(f) Repurchase or Redemption of Capital Stock. If any shares of Capital Stock, or New Securities are repurchased, redeemed or otherwise retired (whether by exercise of a put or call, automatically or by means of another arrangement) by the Managing Member, then the Managing Member shall cause the Company, immediately before such repurchase, redemption or retirement of such Capital Stock or New Securities, to redeem, repurchase or otherwise retire a corresponding number of Class A Units, Class B Units, or Equivalent Units held by the Managing Member, upon the same terms and for the same consideration as the Capital Stock or New Securities to be repurchased, redeemed, or retired.

Article III

DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 3.1 Distributions Generally.

Except as otherwise provided in this ‎Article III and subject to the terms of any Unit Designation, the Company shall distribute an amount of Available Cash if, when, and as determined by the Managing Member to the Members pro rata in accordance with their Units.

Section 3.2 Tax Distributions.

(a) Generally. If the amount distributed to a Designated Member pursuant to ‎Section 3.1 in respect of a Fiscal Year is less than that Member’s Assumed Tax Liability, the Company shall distribute an amount of Available Cash to the Members such that the Designated Member with the highest Assumed Tax Liability receives distributions of Available Cash in respect of each Fiscal Year in an amount at least equal to such Member’s Assumed Tax Liability for such Fiscal Year (each such distribution, a “Tax Distribution”). Any Tax Distribution made to a Member shall be treated as an advance against, and shall reduce, future amounts otherwise distributable to such Member under ‎Section 3.1 or ‎Section 9.3(a). Except as provided in ‎Section 3.2(d) and subject to any Unit Designation, all Tax Distributions shall be made to the Members pro rata in accordance with their Units.

(b) Calculation of Assumed Tax Liability. For purposes of calculating the amount of each Member’s Tax Distributions under ‎Section 3.2(a), a Designated Member’s “Assumed Tax Liability” means an amount equal to the product of:

(i) the sum of (A) the net taxable income and gain allocated to that Member for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the Fiscal Year, and (B) to the extent (x) determined by the Company in its sole discretion and (y) attributable to the Company, the amount the Member is required to include in income by reason of Code sections 707(c) (but not including guaranteed payments for services within the meaning of Code section 707(c)), 951(a), and 951A(a); multiplied by

(ii) the highest combined effective U.S. federal, state, and local marginal rate of tax applicable to an individual resident in the U.S. (as reasonably determined by the Company) for the Fiscal Year (such tax rate, the “Assumed Tax Rate”).

The calculation required by this ‎Section 3.2(b) shall be made by (i) taking into account (x) the character of the income or gain and (y) any limitations on the use of deductions or credits allocable with respect to the Fiscal Year and (ii) disregarding the effect of any special basis adjustments under Code section 743(b). In addition, the Company shall increase a Designated Member’s Assumed Tax Liability to the extent the Company reasonably determines is necessary or appropriate as a result of any differences between U.S. federal income tax law and the tax laws of other jurisdictions in which the Company has a taxable presence. The Company shall calculate the amount of any increase described in the preceding sentence by applying the principles of Section 3.2(b)(i) and (ii)replacing the words “U.S. federal” with a reference to the applicable jurisdiction.

(c) Timing of Tax Distributions. If reasonably practicable, the Company shall make distributions of the estimated Tax Distributions in respect of a Fiscal Year on a quarterly basis to facilitate the payment of quarterly estimated income taxes, taking into account amounts previously distributed by reason of this ‎Section 3.2. Not later than sixty (60) Business Days after the end of the Fiscal Year, the Company shall make a final Tax Distribution in an amount sufficient to fulfill the Company’s obligations under ‎Section 3.2(a).

(d) Impact of Insufficient Available Cash. If the amount of Tax Distributions to be made exceeds the amount of the Available Cash, the Tax Distribution for each Member that would otherwise be made under Section 3.2(a) and Section 3.2 (b) shall be reduced in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2(d) (the amount of the reduction in each Member’s share, the “Tax Distribution Shortfall Amount”), and Available Cash shall be distributed in the following order of priority:

(i) First, to the Managing Member in an amount equal to the full amount of its Tax Distribution, but calculated by substituting the words “a corporation doing business” for “an individual resident” in the definition of “Assumed Tax Rate”;

(ii) Second, to the Members other than the Managing Member pro rata in accordance with their Units in an amount such that the Designated Member with the highest Assumed Tax Liability has received distributions pursuant to this ‎Section 3.2(d)(ii) that is not less than their Assumed Tax Liability (calculated by substituting the words “a corporation doing business” for “an individual resident” in the definition of “Assumed Tax Rate”); and

(iii) Third, to the Members (including the Managing Member) pro rata in accordance with their Units until each Member has received the full amount of its Tax Distribution calculated in accordance with ‎Section 3.2(b).

Any Tax Distribution Shortfall Amounts will be carried forward to subsequent Fiscal Years and will be distributed when and to the extent that the Company has sufficient Available Cash. The distribution of any Tax Distribution Shortfall Amounts to a Member shall for all purposes of this Agreement be a Tax Distribution and shall be treated as an advance against, and shall reduce, future amounts otherwise distributable to such Member under ‎Section 3.1 or ‎Section 9.3(a).

(e) No Tax Distributions on Liquidation. No Tax Distributions shall be made (i) in connection with the liquidation of the Company or a Member’s Units in the Company or (ii) solely by reason of any income or gain arising as a result of any Exchange, redemption, or Transfer of a Member’s Units in the Company.

Section 3.3 Distributions in Kind. No Member may demand to receive property other than cash as provided in this Agreement.

(a) Transfers. From and after the Transfer of a Unit, for purposes of determining the rights to distributions (including Tax Distributions) under this Agreement, distributions (including Tax Distributions) made to the transferor Member, along with any withholding or deduction in respect of any such distribution, shall be treated as having been made to the transferee unless otherwise determined by the Company.

(d) Reimbursements of Preformation Capital Expenditures. To the extent a distribution (or deemed distribution resulting from a reduction in a Member’s share of Company liabilities for federal tax purposes) otherwise would be treated as proceeds in a sale under Code section 707(a)(2)(B), the Members intend such actual or deemed distribution to reimburse preformation capital expenditures under Treas. Reg. § 1.707-4(d) to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

(e) Limitation on Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not make a distribution to any Member to the extent such distribution would violate the Act or other Law or would result in the Company or any of its Subsidiaries being in default under any material agreement.

If some, but not all, of the Members consent to such an amendment or action, the Company may, in its discretion, make such amendment or action effective only as to the Members that consented to it, to the extent it is practicable to do so.

(ii) This Agreement shall not be amended, and no action may be taken by the Managing Member without the consent of any Member holding Common Units that would be adversely affected by such amendment or action if such amendment or action would (A) modify the limited liability of a Member or increase the obligation of a Member to make a Capital Contribution to the Company or (B) amend this ‎Section 4.1(f)(ii).

(b) Action in Good Faith. An Indemnitee acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Company for its, his, or her good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement.

Any transferee of all or a portion of a Unit (whether or not admitted as a Substituted Member) shall take subject to and assume, by operation of Law or express agreement, all of the obligations of the transferor Member under this Agreement with respect to such Transferred Unit. No Transfer (other than pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation pursuant to which all obligations and liabilities of the transferor Member are assumed by a successor corporation by operation of Law) shall relieve the transferor Member of its obligations under this Agreement without the approval of the Managing Member.

(iii) No Rights as Member. No transferee, whether by a voluntary Transfer, by operation of Law or otherwise, shall have any rights under this Agreement unless admitted as a Substituted Member.

(i) Based on the advice of nationally recognized tax counsel (for the avoidance of doubt, including each Company Counsel), such Transfer would create a material risk of the Company being classified as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal, state, or local income tax purposes;

(ii) That the Transfer would be to any Person or entity that lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a Unit;

(iii) That the Transfer would be in violation of Law;

(iv) That the Transfer would be of any fractional or component portion of a Unit, such as the Capital Account, or rights to distributions, separate and apart from all other components of a Unit;

(v) That the Transfer would create a material risk that the Company would become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a “party-in-interest” (as defined in ERISA Section 3(14)) or a “disqualified Person” (as defined in Code section 4975(c));

(vi) Based on the advice of counsel, that the Transfer would create a material risk that any portion of the Assets would constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Reg. § 2510.2-101;

(vii) Based on the advice of counsel, that the Transfer would require the registration of such Unit pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities Laws;

(viii) Based on advice of counsel, that such Transfer would create a material risk that the Company would become a reporting company under the Exchange Act; or

Section 7.3 Substituted Members.

(a) Admission as Member. A transferee of Units of a Member, other than a Related-Party Transferee, may be admitted as a Substituted Member only with the consent of the Company. A Related-Party Transferee shall be admitted as a Substituted Member without the consent of the Company, subject to compliance with ‎Section 7.3(b). The failure or refusal by the Company to permit a transferee of Units to become a Substituted Member shall not give rise to any cause of action against the Company or the Managing Member. A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Member in accordance with this ‎Article VII shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Member under this Agreement.

(b) Documents to Be Provided by Transferee.

In connection with, and as evidence of, the admission of a Substituted Member, the Managing Member or Company shall amend the Register and the books and records of the Company to reflect the name, address and number of Units of such Substituted Member and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address and number of Units of the predecessor of such Substituted Member.

Section 7.4 Drag-Along Rights.

(a) If at any time the Managing Member and/or its Affiliates (excluding, for purposes of this Section 7.4, the Company and its Subsidiaries) desire to Transfer in one or more transactions a sufficient portion of its and/or their Units (or any beneficial interest therein) to constitute a Change of Control to a bona fide third party that is not an Affiliate of the Managing Member (an “Applicable Sale”), the Managing Member may require each other Member either (i) to sell the same ratable share of its Units as is being sold by the Managing Member and such Affiliates (based upon the total Units held by the Managing Member and its Affiliates at such time) on the same terms and conditions and/or (ii) to exchange its Units pursuant to ‎Section 11.1(b) (each, a “Drag-Along Right”). The Managing Member may in its sole discretion elect to cause the Managing Member and/or the Company to structure the Applicable Sale as a merger or consolidation or as a sale of the Company’s Assets.

(b) No Member shall have any dissenters’ rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with any Applicable Sale, and no Member may object to any subsequent liquidation or other distribution of the proceeds from an Applicable Sale that is a sale of Assets.

In the event of the exercise by the Managing Member of its Drag-Along Right pursuant to this Section 7.4, each Member shall take all reasonably necessary and desirable actions approved by the Managing Member in connection with the consummation of the Applicable Sale, including the execution of such agreements and such instruments and other actions reasonably necessary to provide customary and reasonable representations, warranties, indemnities, covenants, conditions and other agreements relating to such Applicable Sale and to otherwise effect the transaction; provided, however, that (A) such Members shall not be required to give disproportionately greater or more onerous representations, warranties, indemnities, or covenants than the Managing Member or its Affiliates, (B) such Members shall not be obligated to bear any share of the out-of-pocket expenses, costs, or fees (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Company or its Affiliates in connection with such Applicable Sale unless and to the extent that such expenses, costs, and fees were incurred for the benefit of the Company or all of its Members, (C) such Members shall not be obligated or otherwise responsible for more than their proportionate shares of any indemnities or other liabilities incurred by the Company and the Members as sellers in respect of such Applicable Sale, (D) any indemnities or other liabilities approved by the Managing Member shall be limited, in respect of each Member, to such Member’s share of the proceeds from the Applicable Sale, and (E) such Members shall not be required to enter into any non-compete agreement in connection with such Applicable Sale.

(c) At least five (5) Business Days before consummation of an Applicable Sale, the Managing Member shall (i) provide the Members written notice (the “Applicable Sale Notice”) of the Applicable Sale, which notice shall contain (A) the name and address of the third-party purchaser, (B) the proposed purchase price, terms of payment, and other material terms and conditions of the purchaser’s offer, together with a copy of any binding agreement with respect to the Applicable Sale and (C) notification of whether the Managing Member has elected to exercise its Drag-Along Right and (ii) promptly notify the Members of all proposed changes to the material terms and keep the Members reasonably informed as to all material terms relating to the Applicable Sale or contribution, and promptly deliver to the Members copies of all final material agreements relating to the Applicable Sale not already provided in accordance with this Section 7.4(c) or otherwise. The Managing Member shall provide the Members written notice of the termination of an Applicable Sale within five (5) Business Days following such termination, which notice shall state that the Applicable Sale Notice served with respect to such Applicable Sale is rescinded.

Section 7.5 Company Right to Call Units. Beginning on the date on which the aggregate Percentage Interests of the Members (other than the Managing Member and its Subsidiaries) are less than fifteen (15) percent, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time and at any time to redeem all (but not less than all) outstanding Exchangeable Units by treating each Member as an Exchangeable Unit Member who has delivered an Elective Exchange Notice pursuant to the Policy Regarding Exchanges in respect of all of such Exchangeable Unit Member’s Exchangeable Units. The Company shall exercise this right by giving notice to an Exchangeable Unit Member stating that the Company has elected to exercise its rights under this ‎Section 7.5. The notice given by the Company to an Exchangeable Unit Member pursuant to this ‎Section 7.5 shall be treated as if it were an Elective Exchange Notice delivered to the Company by such Exchangeable Unit Member. For purposes of this ‎Section 7.5, the provisions of ‎Annex C shall apply except to the extent otherwise determined by the Company.

Section 7.6 Withdrawal.

(a) Permissible Withdrawals. Subject to any Unit Designation, no Member may withdraw from the Company other than:

(i) As a result of a Transfer of all of such Member’s Units in accordance with this ‎Article VII or ‎Article XI with respect to which the transferee becomes a Substituted Member;

(ii) Pursuant to an acquisition by the Managing Member or Subsidiary of the Managing Member of all of its Units; or

(iii) With the prior written consent of the Company.

(b) Consequences of Withdrawal. Any Member who Transfers all of its Units in a Transfer (i) permitted pursuant to this ‎Article VII where such transferee was admitted as a Substituted Member or (ii) to the Managing Member, whether or not pursuant to ‎Section 11.1, shall cease to be a Member but shall continue to have the obligations of a former Member that are expressly set forth in this Agreement.

Section 7.7 Restrictions on Termination Transactions.

(a) General. Except as provided in ‎Section 7.7(b), neither the Company nor the Managing Member shall engage in, or cause or permit, a Termination Transaction.

(b) Consent. The Company or Managing Member may engage in, cause, or permit a Termination Transaction only if at least one of the following conditions is satisfied:

(i) A Majority-in-Interest of the Members give Consent;

(ii) In connection with any such Termination Transaction, each holder of Common Units (other than the Managing Member and its wholly owned Subsidiaries) will receive, or will have the right to elect to receive, for each Common Unit an amount of cash, securities or other property equal to the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property that the holder of Common Units would have received had it exercised its right to Exchange pursuant to ‎Article XI and received Class A Common Stock in exchange for its Common Units immediately before such Termination Transaction; or

(iii) All of the following conditions are met: (1) substantially all of the Assets directly or indirectly owned by the Company before the announcement of the Termination Transaction are, immediately after the Termination Transaction, owned directly or indirectly by the Company or another limited partnership or limited liability company that is the survivor of a merger, consolidation or combination of assets with the Company (in each case, the “Surviving Company”); (2) the Surviving Company is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and each of its Subsidiaries has the same classification for U.S. federal, state, and local tax purposes immediately after the Termination Transaction that each Subsidiary had immediately before the Termination Transaction; (3) the rights of such Members with respect to the Surviving Company (including pursuant to a Tax Receivable Agreement) are at least as favorable as those of Members holding Units immediately before the consummation of such Termination Transaction (except to the extent that any such rights are consistent with clause (4) of this ‎Section 7.7(b)(iii)) and as those applicable to any other limited partners or non-managing members of the Surviving Company; and (4) such rights include the right to cause their interests in the Surviving Company to be redeemed at any time or times for cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such interest at the time of redemption, as determined at least once every calendar quarter by an independent appraisal firm of recognized national standing retained by the Surviving Company.

Section 7.8 Incapacity. If a Member is subject to Incapacity, the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator, or receiver of such Member’s estate (a “Member Representative”) shall have the same rights as the Incapacitated Member possessed to Transfer its Units. The Incapacity of a Member, in and of itself, shall not dissolve or terminate the Company. Unless a Member or Member Representative informs the Company in writing of the Member’s Incapacity, the Company shall have the right to assume each Member is not Incapacitated. The Company shall have no obligation to determine whether or not a Member is Incapacitated.

Section 7.9 Legend. Each certificate representing a Unit, if any, will be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.

THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SUCH ACT.

THE TRANSFER AND VOTING OF THESE SECURITIES IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THE EIGHTH AMENDED AND RESTATED LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT OF RUBICON TECHNOLOGIES HOLDINGS, LLC DATED AS OF AUGUST 15, 2022, AMONG THE MEMBERS LISTED THEREIN, AS IT MAY BE AMENDED, SUPPLEMENTED AND/OR RESTATED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND NO TRANSFER OF THESE SECURITIES WILL BE VALID OR EFFECTIVE UNTIL SUCH CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES.”

Article IX

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION

Section 9.1 Dissolution Generally.

(a) Dissolution Only in Accordance with This Agreement. The Company shall not be dissolved by the substitution of Members or the admission of Additional Members in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company may be dissolved, liquidated and terminated only pursuant to the provisions of this ‎Article IX, and the Members hereby irrevocably waive any and all other rights they may have to cause a dissolution of the Company or a sale or partition of any or all of the Company’s Assets.

(b) Termination of Members. The death, retirement, resignation, expulsion, Bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of a Member or the occurrence of any other event that terminates the continued membership of a Member in the Company shall not in and of itself cause dissolution of the Company.

Section 9.2 Events Causing Dissolution.

(a) Actions by Members. No Member shall take any action to dissolve, terminate or liquidate the Company, or require apportionment, appraisal or partition of the Company or any of its Assets, or file a bill for an accounting, except as specifically provided in this Agreement, and each Member, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, waives any rights to take any such actions under Law, including any right to petition a court for judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act.

(b) Discretion of Liquidator and Managing Member.

(i) Notwithstanding the provisions of ‎Section 9.3(a) that require liquidation of the Assets, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if before or upon dissolution of the Company, the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Company’s Assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Members, the Liquidator may, in its sole discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any Assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Company (including to those Members as creditors) and/or distribute to the Members, in lieu of cash, as tenants-in-common and in accordance with the provisions of ‎Section 9.3(a), undivided interests in such Company Assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distributions in kind shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and any agreements governing the operation of such properties at such time. The Liquidator shall determine the Fair Market Value of any property distributed in kind using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.

(ii) In the sole discretion of the Managing Member, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Members pursuant to this ‎Article IX may be:

A) Distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the Managing Member and the Members for the purpose of liquidating Company Assets, collecting amounts owed to the Company, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company or of the Managing Member arising out of or in connection with the Company and/or Company activities. The assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the Members, from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the Managing Member, in the same proportions and amounts as would otherwise have been distributed to the Members pursuant to this Agreement; or

B) Withheld or escrowed to provide a reasonable reserve for Company liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the Company, provided, that such withheld or escrowed amounts shall be distributed to the Members in the manner and order of priority set forth in ‎Section 9.3(a) as soon as practicable.

Section 9.5 Termination. The Company shall terminate when all of the Assets, after payment of or due provision for all Debts, liabilities, and obligations of the Company, have been distributed to the Members in the manner provided for in this ‎Article IX and the Certificate of Formation shall have been cancelled in the manner required by the Act.

Article X

PROCEDURES FOR ACTIONS AND CONSENTS OF MEMBERS; MEETINGS

Section 10.1 Actions and Consents of Members. The actions requiring Consent of any Member pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise pursuant to Law are subject to the procedures set forth in this ‎Article X.

Section 10.2 Procedures for Meetings and Actions of the Members.

(a) Time; Quorum; Consent. Meetings of the Members may be called only by the Managing Member and shall state the nature of the business to be transacted. Notice of any such meeting shall be given to all Members entitled to act at the meeting not less than two (2) days nor more than ninety (90) days before the date of such meeting. Members may vote in Person or by proxy at such meeting. Unless approval by a different number or proportion of the Members is required by this Agreement or any Unit Designation, the affirmative vote of a Majority-in-Interest of the Members shall be sufficient to approve such proposal at a meeting of the Members. Whenever the Consent of any Members is permitted or required under this Agreement, such Consent may be given at a meeting of Members or in accordance with the procedure prescribed in ‎Section 10.2(b).

(b) Written Consents. Any action requiring the Consent of any Member or a group of Members pursuant to this Agreement or that is required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Members may be taken without a meeting if a Consent in writing or by electronic transmission and filed with the Managing Member setting forth the action so taken or consented to is given by Members whose affirmative vote would be sufficient to approve such action or provide such Consent at a meeting of the Members. Such Consent may be in one or several instruments and shall have the same force and effect as the affirmative vote of such Members at a meeting of the Members. An action so taken shall be deemed to have been taken at a meeting held on the effective date so certified. For purposes of obtaining a Consent in writing or by electronic transmission, the Managing Member may require a response within a reasonable specified time, and failure to respond in such time period shall constitute a Consent that is consistent with the Managing Member’s recommendation with respect to the proposal.

(c) Proxy. Each Member entitled to act at a meeting of Members may authorize any Person or Persons to act for it by proxy on all matters in which a Member is entitled to participate, including waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting. Each proxy must be signed by the Member or its attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy (or there is receipt of a proxy authorizing a later date). Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Member executing it, such revocation to be effective upon the Company’s receipt of written notice of such revocation from the Member executing such proxy, unless such proxy states that it is irrevocable and is coupled with an interest.

(d) Record Date for Meetings and Other Purposes.

(i) The Managing Member may set, in advance, a Record Date (x) for the purpose of determining the identities of the Members entitled to Consent to any action or entitled to receive notice of or vote at any meeting of the Members or (y) to make a determination of Members for any other proper purpose. Any such date shall not be before the close of business on the day the Record Date is fixed and shall be not more than ninety (90) days and, in the case of a meeting of the Members, not less than two (2) days, before the date on which the meeting is to be held.

(ii) If no Record Date is set, the Record Date for the determination of Members entitled to notice of or vote at a meeting of the Members shall be at the close of business on the day on which the notice of the meeting is sent, and the Record Date for any other determination of Members shall be the effective date of such Member action, distribution or other event. When a determination of the Members entitled to vote at any meeting of the Members has been made as provided in this ‎Section 10.2(d), such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

(e) Conduct of Meetings. Each meeting of Members shall be conducted by the Managing Member or such other Person as the Managing Member may appoint pursuant to such rules for the conduct of the meeting as the Managing Member or such other Person deems appropriate.

(f) Waivers. Any time period for notice with respect to meetings or consents of the Members may be waived by a Member as to such Member.

Article XI

EXCHANGE RIGHTS

Section 11.1 Elective and Mandatory Exchanges.

(a) Elective Exchanges. Subject to the Policy Regarding Exchanges set forth in ‎Annex E, as amended from time to time by the Company (the “Policy Regarding Exchanges”), an Exchangeable Unit Member shall have the right, from time to time, to surrender Exchangeable Units (free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, rights of first refusal and similar restrictions, except for those arising under this Agreement) to the Company or the Managing Member and to thereby cause the Company or the Managing Member to deliver to that Exchangeable Unit Member (or its designee) the Exchange Consideration as set forth in ‎Section 11.3 (an “Elective Exchange”).

(b) Mandatory Exchange Events. Units are subject to Mandatory Exchange in each of the following circumstances:

(i) pursuant to ‎Section 7.4, if an Applicable Sale is determined to be a Mandatory Exchange event in the sole discretion of the Managing Member;

(ii) pursuant to ‎Section 7.5; or

(iii) in the discretion of the Managing Member, with the consent of Members whose Class B Units represent fifty percent (50%) of the Class B Units of all Members in the aggregate, all Members will be required to exchange all Exchangeable Units then held by the Members.

(c) Mandatory Exchange Notices and Dates. Upon the occurrence of any of the circumstances set out in ‎Section 11.1(b), the Managing Member may exercise its right to cause a mandatory exchange of a Member’s Exchangeable Units (a “Mandatory Exchange”) by delivering to each Member a written notice pursuant to the notice provisions in Section 12.6 (a “Mandatory Exchange Notice”). A Mandatory Exchange Notice will specify the basis for the Mandatory Exchange, the Exchangeable Units of the Company to which the Mandatory Exchange applies, the Exchange Consideration and the effective date of such Mandatory Exchange (the “Mandatory Exchange Date”), which shall be no earlier than ten (10) Business Days after delivery of the Mandatory Exchange Notice. The Member receiving the Mandatory Exchange Notice shall use its reasonable best efforts to deliver the Certificates, as applicable, representing the applicable Exchangeable Units (free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, rights of first refusal and similar restrictions, except for those arising under this Agreement) no later than one (1) Business Day before the Mandatory Exchange Date. Upon the Mandatory Exchange Date, the Company will effect the Mandatory Exchange.

Section 11.2 Additional Terms Applying to Exchanges.

(a) Rights of Exchangeable Unit Member. On an Exchange Date, all rights of the Exchangeable Unit Member as a holder of the Exchangeable Units and, if the applicable Exchangeable Units are Class B Units, shares of Class V Common Stock held by the holder of the Class B Units that are subject to the Exchange shall cease, and, unless the Company or Managing Member, as applicable, has elected Cash Settlement as to all Exchangeable Units tendered, the Managing Member shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the transfer agent or registrar of the Managing Member to update the stock register of the Managing Member such that such Exchangeable Unit Member (or its designee) become the record holder of the shares of Class A Common Stock to be received by the Exchangeable Unit Member in respect of such Exchange.

(b) Right of Managing Member to Acquire Exchangeable Units. With respect to Units surrendered in an Elective Exchange or subject to a Mandatory Exchange, the Managing Member shall have the right but not the obligation to have the Managing Member (in lieu of the Company) acquire Exchangeable Units and, if the applicable Exchangeable Units are Class B Units, an equivalent number of shares of Class V Common Stock held by the holder of those Class B Units directly from an Exchangeable Unit Member for the elected Exchange Consideration. If the Managing Member acquires Exchangeable Units as described in the preceding sentence, those Exchangeable Units shall be automatically recapitalized into the same number of Class A Units as the Exchangeable Units.

(c) Expenses. Except as otherwise agreed by the Company, the Managing Member and an Exchangeable Unit Member, the Company, the Managing Member, and each Exchangeable Unit Member shall bear their own expenses in connection with the consummation of any Exchange, whether or not any such Exchange is ultimately consummated. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Managing Member (or the Company, at the Managing Member’s direction) shall bear any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, any Exchange; provided, however, that if any shares of Class A Common Stock are to be delivered pursuant to an Elective Exchange in a name other than that of the Exchangeable Unit Member that requested the Exchange (or The Depository Trust Company or its nominee for the account of a participant of The Depository Trust Company that will hold the shares for the account of such Member) or the Cash Settlement is to be paid to a Person other than the Exchangeable Unit Member that requested the Exchange, then such Member or the Person in whose name such shares are to be delivered or to whom the Cash Settlement is to be paid shall pay to the Managing Member (or the Company, at the Managing Member’s direction) the amount of any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, such Exchange or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Managing Member that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

Section 11.3 Exchange Consideration; Settlement.

(a) Generally. The Managing Member shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to elect the form of Exchange Consideration with respect to any Exchange. On an Exchange Date, provided the Exchangeable Unit Member has satisfied its obligations under the Policy Regarding Exchanges and not validly retracted such proposed Exchange, the Managing Member shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Exchange Consideration to such Exchangeable Unit Member (or its designee), at the address set forth on the applicable Exchange Notice. If the Managing Member elects a Cash Settlement, the Managing Member shall only be obligated to contribute to the Company (or, if the Managing Member elects to settle directly pursuant to ‎Section 11.2(b), settle directly for an amount equal to) an amount in respect of such Cash Settlement equal to the net proceeds (after deduction of any underwriters’ discounts and commissions) from the sale by the Managing Member of a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of Exchangeable Units being Exchanged for such Cash Settlement. Except as otherwise required by Law, the Managing Member shall, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, be treated as paying an appropriate portion of the selling expenses described in the previous sentence as agent for and on behalf of the Exchangeable Unit Member. Except as otherwise determined by the Managing Member, if (i) the Managing Member determines that some or all of the Exchange Consideration with respect to an Exchange will be Class A Common Stock and (ii) such Exchange would, but for this Section 11.3(a), result in the Exchangeable Unit Member’s receipt of a fractional share of Class A Common Stock, then the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be received by the Exchangeable Unit Member shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares and the amount of the reduction shall be paid as a Cash Settlement.

(b) Notice of Intended Exchange Consideration. At least two (2) Business Days before the Exchange Date, the Managing Member shall give written notice to the Company (with a copy to the Exchangeable Unit Member) of its intended Exchange Consideration. If the Managing Member does not timely deliver such written notice, the Managing Member shall be deemed to have elected to settle the Exchange with shares of Class A Common Stock.

(c) Settlement through Depository Trust Company. To the extent the Class A Common Stock is settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, the Managing Member or the Company will, upon the written instruction of an Exchangeable Unit Member, deliver the shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable to such Exchangeable Unit Member through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company to the account of the participant of The Depository Trust Company designated by such Exchangeable Unit Member in the Exchange Notice.

(d) Obligations of Managing Member and Company. Upon any Exchange, the Managing Member or the Company, as applicable, shall take such actions as (A) may be required to ensure that such Member receives the shares of Class A Common Stock and/or the Cash Settlement that such Exchangeable Unit Member is entitled to receive in connection with such Exchange pursuant to ‎Section 11.3(a), and (B) may be reasonably within its control that would cause such Exchange to be treated as a direct exchange between the Managing Member and the Member for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes.

(e) Except in connection with a payment in respect of a fractional share (as described in the final sentence of ‎Section 11.3(a)), the Managing Member may elect Cash Settlement with respect to an Exchange of Class B Units only to the extent the Cash Settlement is funded by the proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of a Liquidity Offering with respect to that Exchange.

Section 11.4 Adjustment. To the extent not reflected in an adjustment to the Exchange Rate, if there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the Class A Common Stock is converted or changed or exchanged into or for another security, securities or other property, then, upon any subsequent Exchange, an Exchangeable Unit Member shall be entitled to receive the amount of such security, securities or other property that such Exchangeable Unit Member would have received if such Exchange had occurred immediately before the effective date of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction, taking into account any adjustment as a result of any subdivision (by any split, distribution or dividend, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of such security, securities or other property that occurs after the effective time of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, if there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the Class A Common Stock is converted or changed or exchanged into or for another security, securities or other property, this ‎Section 11.4 shall continue to be applicable, mutatis mutandis, with respect to such security or other property.

Section 11.5 Class A Common Stock to Be Issued in Connection with an Exchange.

(a) Class A Common Stock Reserve. The Managing Member shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon an Exchange, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall be deliverable under this Agreement upon all such Exchanges. The preceding sentence shall not affect the Managing Member’s right to elect a Cash Settlement.

(b) Rule 16(b) Exemption. The Managing Member has taken and will take all such steps as may be required to cause to qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3(d) or (e), as applicable, under the Exchange Act, and be exempt for purposes of Section 16(b) under the Exchange Act, any acquisitions or dispositions of equity securities of the Managing Member (including derivative securities with respect thereto) and any securities that may be deemed to be equity securities or derivative securities of the Managing Member for such purposes that result from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, by each director or officer of the Managing Member (including directors-by-deputization) who may reasonably be expected to be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Managing Member upon the registration of any class of equity security of the Managing Member pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

(c) Validity of Class A Common Stock. The Managing Member covenants that all shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon an Exchange will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to any preemptive right of stockholders of the Managing Member or any right of first refusal or other right in favor of any Person.

Section 11.6 Withholding. Each Member acknowledges and agrees that the Company may be required by Law to deduct and withhold any amounts by reason of any federal, state, local, or non-U.S. tax laws or regulations in respect of any Exchange, as provided in ‎Section 4.10(c) of ‎Annex C.

Section 11.7 Tax Treatment. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Exchangeable Unit Member and the Managing Member, it is intended that, for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes, each Exchange be treated as direct exchange between the Managing Member and the Exchangeable Unit Member that is a taxable transaction to the Exchangeable Unit Member. All applicable parties shall treat each Exchange consistently with the intended treatment for all U.S. federal and applicable state and local tax purposes unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 11.8 Contribution by the Managing Member. On the Exchange Date (i) the Managing Member shall contribute to the Company the shares of Class A Common Stock and/or Cash Settlement that the Managing Member has elected to deliver and that the Member is entitled to receive in the applicable Exchange and (ii) the Company shall issue to the Managing Member a number of Class A Units equal to the number of Exchangeable Units surrendered by the Member.

(a) In General. Except as otherwise provided in this ‎Section 3.3 of this ‎Annex C, for income tax purposes under the Code and the Regulations, each Company item of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as its correlative item of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit (as calculated for purposes of allocating Net Profits or Net Loss) is allocated pursuant to ‎Section 3.1 and ‎Section 3.2 of this ‎Annex C.

The Company shall use the “traditional method” with respect to (i) any property contributed to the Company before the SPAC Transactions and (ii) “reverse section 704(c) allocations” (within the meaning of Treas.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Company reasonably determines an allocation other than the allocations that would otherwise be made pursuant to this Agreement would more appropriately reflect the Members’ interests in the Company, the Company may in its discretion make appropriate adjustments to such allocations.

(f) Allocation of Liabilities under Code Section 752. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Member will take, or permit any Affiliate to take, any action that would change the allocation of liabilities for purposes of Code section 752 without the consent of the Company.

Solely to the extent required by Law, this ‎Section 4.5 of this ‎Annex C shall not apply with respect to any “special enforcement matter” described in Code section 6241(11).

All amounts withheld pursuant to this ‎Section 4.10 of this ‎Annex C shall, except as otherwise determined by the Company pursuant to ‎Section 4.4(c)(ii) of this ‎Annex C, be treated as amounts distributed to such Person pursuant to the provision of this Agreement that would have applied if such amount had actually been distributed.

If a Member transferring Units will not satisfy clause (i) in connection with any such Transfer unless the transferor Member and transferee of such interest shall agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any loss (including taxes, interest, penalties, and any related expenses) arising out of any failure to comply with the provisions of this ‎Section 4.10(b) of this ‎Annex C.

If (x) the Company or the Managing Member shall be required to withhold any amounts by reason of any federal, state, local, or non-U.S. tax laws or regulations in respect of any Exchange or (y) the applicable Member has unpaid amounts described in Section 4.4(c) of this Annex C, the Company, or the Managing Member, as the case may be, shall be entitled to take such action as it deems appropriate in order to ensure compliance with such withholding requirements or satisfy such payment obligations, including, at its option, withholding cash from the Cash Settlement or shares of Class A Common Stock with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of any taxes that the Company or the Managing Member, as the case may be, may be required to withhold or the Member may be required to pay with respect to such Exchange. To the extent that amounts are (or property is) so withheld and, if required, paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, such withheld amounts (or property) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid (or delivered) to the applicable Member.

(ii) Notice of Withholding. If the Company or the Managing Member determines that any amounts by reason of any federal, state, local, or non-U.S. tax laws or regulations are required to be withheld in respect of any Exchange, the Company or the Managing Member, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Exchangeable Unit Member and shall consider in good faith any positions or alternative arrangements that such Member raises (reasonably in advance of the date on which the Company or the Managing Member believes withholding is required) as to why withholding is not required or that may avoid the need for such withholding, provided, that neither the Company nor the Managing Member is required to incur additional costs as a result of such obligation, and this ‎Section 4.10(c)(ii) of this ‎Annex C shall not in any manner limit the authority of the Company or the Managing Member to withhold taxes with respect to an Exchangeable Unit Member pursuant to ‎Section 4.10(c)(i) of this ‎Annex C.

(iii) Reimbursement of Taxes by Exchangeable Unit Member. If, within the three-year period beginning at the start of the date of an Exchange, (i) the Company or the Managing Member withholds or otherwise pays any amount on account of taxes in respect of exchanged Units, which amount is attributable to the three-year period ending at the end of the date of such Exchange, and (ii) the Company, the Managing Member or any person other than the applicable Exchangeable Unit Member otherwise would bear the economic burden of such withholding or other payment (including by reason of such amount being treated as having been distributed to the Managing Member in respect of the Exchangeable Units pursuant to ‎Section 4.10 of this ‎Annex C), the Exchangeable Unit Member shall, upon notice by the Company and/or the Managing Member, promptly reimburse the Company and/or the Managing Member for such amount; provided, however, that the Exchangeable Unit Member’s reimbursement obligation under this ‎Section 4.10(c)(iii) of this ‎Annex C shall not exceed the amount of cash and Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of receipt) of other consideration received by the Exchangeable Unit Member in connection with such Exchange. Unless otherwise required by Law, any amount paid by an Exchangeable Unit Member pursuant to this ‎Section 4.10(c)(iii) of this ‎Annex C shall be treated as an adjustment to the proceeds received by the Exchangeable Unit Member in respect of the applicable Exchange. The Company and the Managing Member shall have the right to reduce any amounts due to such Exchangeable Unit Member from the Managing Member or any of its Affiliates by the amount owed by such Exchangeable Unit Member under this ‎Section 4.10(c)(iii) of this ‎Annex C.

ANNEX E: POLICY REGARDING EXCHANGES

Effective as of August 15, 2022

This Policy Regarding Exchanges (the “Policy”) of Rubicon Technologies Holdings, LLC (the “Company”) sets forth certain rules applicable to the exchange of Exchangeable Units for shares of Class A Common Stock of Rubicon Technologies, Inc. (the “Common Stock”) and/or cash, at the option of the Managing Member (each, an “Exchange”), pursuant to the Company’s Eighth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “Agreement”). Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Policy have the meanings given to them in the Agreement. This Policy is made pursuant to, and supplements the provisions of, Article XI of the Agreement. Except as modified by the rules set forth in the Special Exchange Policy, this Policy shall apply to Special Exchanges.

Article I

EXCHANGE DATES; PROVISIONS REGARDING EXCHANGEABLE AMOUNT

Section 1.1 Quarterly Exchange Date. There shall be one (1) date per quarter of each Fiscal Year on which an Elective Exchange may occur (each, a “Quarterly Exchange Date”) for a holder of Exchangeable Units (each holder, an “Exchanging Holder”). The Quarterly Exchange Date for Exchanging Holders that are required to file reports pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act may be different than the Quarterly Exchange Date for Exchanging Holders that are not required to file reports pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the applicable Exchanging Holders at least forty-five (45) days before a relevant Quarterly Exchange Date (such notice, a “Quarterly Exchange Date Notice”).

Section 1.2 Minimum Exchangeable Amount. The Company may set a minimum number or dollar value of Exchangeable Units that may be exchanged by Exchanging Holders on a Quarterly Exchange Date, which minimum amount shall, except as provided in Section 3.2(c), except as provided in Section 3.2(c), be the same for all holders of Exchangeable Units (the “Minimum Exchangeable Amount”) and shall include the applicable Minimum Exchangeable Amount in the applicable Quarterly Exchange Date Notice. If an Exchanging Holder delivers an Elective Exchange Notice pursuant to ‎Section 3.1 requesting to exchange all of its Exchangeable Units, the number or dollar value, as applicable, of the Exchanging Holder’s Exchangeable Units shall be deemed to satisfy the Minimum Exchangeable Amount requirement.

Section 1.3 Maximum Exchangeable Amount. The Company may set a maximum aggregate number or dollar value of Exchangeable Units that may be exchanged by the Exchanging Holders on a Quarterly Exchange Date (the “Maximum Exchangeable Amount”) and shall include the applicable Maximum Exchangeable Amount in the applicable Quarterly Exchange Date Notice. If the aggregate number or dollar value of Exchangeable Units that the Exchanging Holders propose to exchange on the Quarterly Exchange Date (as set forth on the Elective Exchange Notices) exceeds the Maximum Exchangeable Amount, then the number or dollar value of Exchangeable Units that each Exchanging Holder specified in its Elective Exchange Notice shall be reduced by the same percentage by which the aggregate number or dollar value of Exchangeable Units of all Exchanging Holders is reduced so that the aggregate number or dollar value of Exchangeable Units does not exceed the Maximum Exchangeable Amount.

Annex E-1

Article II

ADDITIONAL RIGHTS TO EXCHANGE

Section 2.1 Rights to Exchange.

(a) Right to Exchange Before Certain Transactions. If the Company or the Managing Member consolidates, merges, combines or consummates any other transaction in which shares of Class A Common Stock are exchanged for or converted into other stock or securities, or the right to receive cash and/or any other property, no other provisions of this Policy shall limit the right of any Exchangeable Unit Member to effect an Elective Exchange in order to receive Class A Common Stock in advance of consummation of any such consolidation, merger or other such transaction unless in connection with any such consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction each Class B Unit shall be entitled to be exchanged for or converted into the stock, cash, securities or other property that such holder of a Class B Unit would have received had it exercised its right to Exchange pursuant to this Policy and received Class A Common Stock in exchange for its Class B Units immediately before such consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction (subject to any differences in the kind and amount of stock or securities, cash and/or any other property as are intended (as determined by the Company in good faith) to maintain the relative voting power of each share of Class V Common Stock relative to each share of Class A Common Stock in effect before such transaction). This Article II shall not apply to any action or transaction (including any consolidation, merger, or combination) approved by a Majority-in-Interest of the Members.

(b) Right to Exchange Before an Applicable Sale or Termination Transaction. Upon the occurrence of an Applicable Sale or a Termination Transaction, no other provisions of this Policy shall limit the right of any Exchangeable Unit Member to effect an Elective Exchange in order to receive Class A Common Stock in advance of consummation of any such Applicable Sale or Termination Transaction.

Article III

ELECTIVE EXCHANGE NOTICE

Section 3.1 Timing of Elective Exchange Notice.

(a) Elective Exchange Notice. Each holder that elects to Exchange some or all of its Exchangeable Units must deliver notice of an election in respect of the Exchangeable Units to be exchanged (an “Elective Exchange Notice”) to the Company, in a method determined by the Company at least thirty (30) days before the relevant Quarterly Exchange Date. The Company shall provide to each Exchangeable Unit Holder the form of Elective Exchange Notice and the means for delivery of that Elective Exchange Notice.

(b) Retraction Notice. An Exchanging Holder’s delivery of a Retraction Notice shall be irrevocable and shall terminate all of the Exchanging Holder’s, Company’s, and Managing Member’s rights and obligations with respect to the Retracted Units, and all actions taken to effect the Elective Exchange contemplated by that retracted Elective Exchange Notice shall be deemed rescinded and void with respect to the Retracted Units.

(c) Post-Retraction Limitations on Exchange. If an Exchanging Holder delivers a Retraction Notice for a Quarterly Exchange Date pursuant to ‎Section 3.2(b), (i) the retracting Exchanging Holder shall not be entitled to participate in the Exchange on the Quarterly Exchange Date for which the Retraction Notice was delivered and (ii) the number of Exchangeable Units that the Exchangeable Holder shall be permitted to Exchange on each of the next two (2) Quarterly Exchange Dates on which the Exchangeable Holder Exchanges Exchangeable Units shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the number of Retracted Units.
