RECITALS

WHEREAS, JAWS, Jaws Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Primary Care (ITC) Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), and Primary Care (ITC) Intermediate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), are concurrently entering into that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Business Combination Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Supporting Seller Unitholder is the record and beneficial owner of the number and type of Equity Securities of the Seller set forth on Schedule A hereto (together with any other units or other Equity Securities of the Seller that the Supporting Seller Unitholder acquires record or beneficial ownership after the date hereof, collectively, the “Subject Seller Units”);

WHEREAS, in consideration for the benefits to be received by the Supporting Seller Unitholder under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and as a material inducement to JAWS agreeing to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the Supporting Seller Unitholder agrees to enter into this Agreement and to be bound by the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Parties acknowledge and agree that JAWS would not have entered into and agreed to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement without the Supporting Seller Unitholder entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, each intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1. Supporting Seller Unitholder Consent and Related Matters.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) following the time at which the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, the Supporting Seller Unitholder shall duly execute and deliver to the Seller and JAWS the Seller Unitholder Written Consent under which it shall irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the matters, actions and proposals contemplated by Section 5.12(b) (Transaction Support Agreements; Seller Unitholder Approval; Subscription Agreements) of the Business Combination Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the first sentence of this Section 1(a), prior to the Closing, the Supporting Seller Unitholder shall vote (or cause to be voted) the Subject Seller Units against and withhold consent with respect to (A) any Company Acquisition Proposal or (B) any other matter, action or proposal that would reasonably be expected to result in (x) a breach of any of the Seller’s covenants, agreements or obligations under the Business Combination Agreement or (y) any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Sections 7.1 or 7.2 of the Business Combination Agreement not being satisfied.


(b) Without limiting any other rights or remedies of JAWS, the Supporting Seller Unitholder hereby irrevocably appoints JAWS or any individual designated by JAWS as the Supporting Seller Unitholder’s agent, attorney-in-fact and proxy (with full power of substitution and resubstituting), for and in the name, place and stead of the Supporting Seller Unitholder, to attend on behalf of the Supporting Seller Unitholder any meeting of the Seller Unitholders with respect to the matters described in Section 1(a), to include the Subject Seller Units in any computation for purposes of establishing a quorum at any such meeting of the Seller Unitholders, to vote (or cause to be voted) the Subject Seller Units or consent (or withhold consent) with respect to any of the matters described in Section 1(a) in connection with any meeting of the Seller Unitholders or any action by written consent by the Seller Unitholders (including the Seller Unitholder Written Consent), in each case, in the event that the Supporting Seller Unitholder fails to perform or otherwise comply with the covenants, agreements or obligations set forth in Section 1(a).

(c) The proxy granted by the Supporting Seller Unitholder pursuant to Section 1(b) is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy and is granted in consideration for JAWS entering into the Business Combination Agreement and agreeing to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. The proxy granted by the Supporting Seller Unitholder pursuant to Section 1(b) is also a durable proxy and shall survive the bankruptcy, dissolution, death, incapacity or other inability to act by the Supporting Seller Unitholder and shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by the Supporting Seller Unitholder with respect to the Subject Seller Units. The vote or consent of the proxyholder in accordance with Section 1(b) and with respect to the matters in Section 1(a) shall control in the event of any conflict between such vote or consent by the proxyholder of the Subject Seller Units and a vote or consent by the Supporting Seller Unitholder of the Subject Seller Units (or any other Person with the power to vote the Subject Seller Units) with respect to the matters in Section 1(a). The proxyholder may not exercise the proxy granted pursuant to Section 1(b) on any matter except those provided in Section 1(a). For the avoidance of doubt, the Supporting Seller Unitholder may vote the Subject Seller Units on all other matters, subject to, for the avoidance of doubt, the other applicable covenants, agreements and obligations set forth in this Agreement.

2. Other Covenants and Agreements.    

(a) The Supporting Seller Unitholder shall be bound by and subject to (i) Sections 5.3(a) (Confidentiality) and 5.4(a) (Public Announcements) of the Business Combination Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to the Seller, as if the Supporting Seller Unitholder is directly party thereto, and (ii) the first sentence of Section 5.5(a) (Exclusive Dealing) and Section 9.18 (Trust Account Waiver) of the Business Combination Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to the Seller, as if the Supporting Seller Unitholder is directly party thereto.

(b) The Supporting Seller Unitholder acknowledges and agrees that JAWS is entering into the Business Combination Agreement in reliance upon the Supporting Seller Unitholder entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by, and perform, or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement and but for the Supporting Seller Unitholder entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by, and perform, or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement JAWS would not have entered into or agreed to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

(b) The Supporting Seller Unitholder has the requisite corporate, limited liability company or other similar power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its covenants, agreements and obligations hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those covenants, agreements and obligations hereunder that relate to the provisions of the Business Combination Agreement), and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
