Re: Initial Public Offering

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) entered into by and between GigCapital2, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EarlyBird”), as representative (the “Representative”) of the several Underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “IPO”) of the Company’s units (the “Units”), each consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock” and such shares included in the Units, “Offering Shares”), one right to receive one twentieth (1/20) of one share of Common Stock (the “Right”) and one warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (the warrants included in the Units sold, the “Offering Warrants”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined in context are defined in paragraph 14 hereof.

In order to induce the Company and the Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the IPO, and in recognition of the benefit that such IPO will confer upon the undersigned, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each of the undersigned entities and individuals, each of whom is a Founder, along with Northland Securities, Inc. (“Northland Securities”) hereby agrees with the Company as follows:

1. With respect to stockholder votes and associated conversion rights,

(a) if the Company solicits stockholder approval of a Business Combination via a proxy solicitation, then the undersigned will vote all shares of then outstanding Common Stock beneficially owned by him, her or it in favor of such Business Combination; provided, that (i) the undersigned acknowledges and agrees that prior to entering into a Business Combination with a target business that is affiliated with any Insiders, such transaction must be approved by a majority of the Company’s disinterested independent directors and the Company must obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm, or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions on the type of target business the Company is seeking to acquire, that such Business Combination is fair to the Company’s unaffiliated stockholders from a financial point of view, and (ii) no Insider will be entitled to receive or accept a finder’s fee or any other compensation in the event such Insider originates a Business Combination (provided that this clause (ii) shall not apply to EarlyBird, certain affiliates and employees of EarlyBird (the “EarlyBird Group”), and Northland Gig 2 Investment LLC (“Northland Investment”), or any of their Affiliates);

(b) the undersigned hereby agrees not to propose for a stockholder approval any amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would (i) affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within 18 months of the closing of the IPO, or (ii) alter its provisions relating to the Company’s pre-Business Combination activity or the related stockholders’ rights, unless the Company provides the holders of any Offering Shares with the opportunity to redeem their Offering Shares upon the approval of any such amendment. Such redemption must be at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares; and

(c) the undersigned will not redeem any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him, her or it in connection with a solicitation for stockholder approval described in either of clauses (a) or (b) above, or sell any such shares of Common Stock in a tender offer undertaken by the Company in connection with a Business Combination.

2. The undersigned hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind the undersigned may have in the future in or to any distribution of the Trust Account and any remaining assets of the Company as a result of, or arising out of, any contracts or agreements with the Company and will not seek recourse against the Trust

1

Account for any reason whatsoever; provided, that the foregoing waiver shall not apply with respect to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account made in connection with any Offering Shares purchased by the undersigned or its Affiliates during the IPO or on the open market after the completion of the IPO if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within 18 months of the completion of the IPO. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that there will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to any of the Rights or Offering Warrants, all rights of which will terminate upon the Company’s liquidation.

3. In order to minimize potential conflicts of interest that may arise from multiple corporate affiliations, GigAcquisitions2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”), an Affiliate of Dr. Katz, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, shall present to the Company for its consideration, prior to presentation to any other entity, any target business that has a fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding taxes payable on interest earned), subject to any pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations the undersigned might have.

4. Neither the undersigned nor any of their Affiliates will be entitled to receive, and none of them may accept, any compensation or other cash payment prior to, or for services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of the Business Combination, except for the following:

(a) Sponsor and its Affiliates may receive compensation for administrative services and office space, as provided for under that certain Administrative Services Agreement between the Company and GigFounders, LLC dated as of March 20, 2019;

(b) Sponsor may receive amounts due under that certain promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $99,937, dated March 12, 2019, issued by the Company in favor of Sponsor;

(c) any of the undersigned may receive reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on behalf of the Company, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations, as well as advisory fees to directors pertaining to board committee service and extraordinary administrative and analytical services, and repayment upon consummation of a Business Combination of any loans which may be made by them or by their Affiliates to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended Business Combination. While the terms of any such loans have not been determined nor have any written agreements been executed with respect thereto, it is acknowledged and agreed that up to $1,500,000 of any such loans may be convertible into units of the post-business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender; and

(e) any underwriting discounts, commissions and other fees and compensation payable to the Underwriters of the IPO, including the Representative, including any consideration payable pursuant to the Business Combination and Marketing Agreement by and between the Company and the Representative.

5. To the extent that the Underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 2,250,000 Units within the time period set forth in the Registration Statement (and as further described in the Registration Statement), (i) Sponsor agrees that it shall forfeit, at no cost, up to 524,868 Founder Shares, (ii) EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. and the EarlyBird Group agrees that it shall forfeit, at no cost, up to 15,053 Founder Shares, and (iii) Northland Investment agrees that it shall forfeit, at no cost, up to 22,579 Founder Shares. If applicable, the Founders would forfeit, on a pro rata basis consistent with the proportion of their ownership of Founder Shares, such number of Founder Shares as would be required to maintain the ownership of the Company’s pre-IPO stockholders at 20.0% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after the closing of the IPO; provided, that the “total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock” would not take into account any shares of Common Stock included in units purchased by the Founders in the private placement that such parties intend to consummate simultaneously with the closing of the IPO. The Founders further agree that to the extent that the size of the IPO is increased or decreased, the Company will purchase or sell shares of Common Stock or effect a stock dividend or share contribution back to capital, as applicable, immediately prior to the consummation of the IPO in such amounts as to maintain the ownership of the stockholders prior to the IPO at 20.0% of its total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock upon the consummation of the IPO; provided, that the “total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock” would not take into account any shares of Common Stock included in units purchased by the Founders in the private placement that such parties intend to consummate simultaneously with the closing of the IPO.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Lock-up Period, Transfers of Securities are permitted to be made (a) to any persons (including their Affiliates and members) participating in the private placement of the private units (as described in the Registration Statement); (b) among the Founders and their affiliates or to the Company’s executive officers, directors or employees; (c) in the case of an entity, as a distribution to its partners, stockholders or members upon its liquidation; (d) in the case of an individual, by a bona fide gift to a member of one of the members of the individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of one of the individual’s immediate family, for estate planning purposes; (e) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (f) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (g) by pledges to secure obligations incurred in connection with purchases of the Company’s securities; (h) by private sales or transfers made in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the securities were originally purchased; or (i) to the Company for no value for cancellation in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination; provided, however, that in any case (other than clause (i)), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by these transfer restrictions and the other terms described in this Letter Agreement to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the Transfer.

10. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph 9, each of EarlyBird, the EarlyBird Group, Northland Securities and Northland Investment agrees that during the period commencing on the effective date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 180 days after such date, none of them nor any of their Affiliates, may Transfer any Securities beneficially owned by them, other than any Units, or the Offering Shares, Rights or Offering Warrants underlying such Units, purchased in the IPO or in the open market after the IPO. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to the registration of the offer and sale of Units contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and the sale of the Units to the Underwriters.

Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, in each case, net of the amount of interest earned on the property in the Trust Account which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account (whether or not such agreement is enforceable) and as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that any such executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against such third party, the Indemnitor shall not be responsible for any liability as a result of any such third party claims. The Indemnitor shall have the right to defend against any such claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Company if, within fifteen (15) days following written receipt of notice of the claim to the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor notifies the Company in writing that it shall undertake such defense.
