Exhibit 10.2
LOCK-UP AGREEMENT
THIS LOCK-UP AGREEMENT (this Agreement) is made and entered into as of [], 2021 by and between (a) [Cano Health, Inc.], a Delaware corporation (as successor-in-interest to JAWS Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company) (the Company), and (b) the person or entity identified under the heading Holder on the signature page hereto (Holder). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement will have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of [], 2020, by and among the Company, JAWS Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Primary Care (ITC) Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and Primary Care (ITC) Intermediate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the BCA).
WHEREAS, in connection with the BCA, and in view of the valuable consideration to be received by the parties thereunder, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which the New JAWS Shares or any other equity securities of the Company or securities that may be converted, exchanged or exercised into or for New JAWS Shares held directly or indirectly by the Holder (the Restricted Securities) shall become subject to limitations on disposition as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, which are incorporated in this Agreement as if fully set forth below, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Lock-Up Provisions.
(a) The Holder hereby agrees not to, during the period commencing from the Closing and through the date that is 48 months from the date of the Closing (the Lock-Up Period): (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, with respect to any Restricted Securities or (ii) enter into any swap or hedging or other arrangement which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the New JAWS Shares, or that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any New JAWS Shares, whether any such transaction described in clauses (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise (any of the foregoing described in clauses (i) or (ii), a Prohibited Transfer); provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing in this Agreement shall restrict any Holders right to cause the Company to file and cause to become effective a registration statement with the SEC naming such Holder as a selling securityholder (and to make any required disclosures on Schedule 13D in respect thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lock-Up Period and restrictions set forth in this Section 1 shall not apply to the:
(A) transfer, during any consecutive 12-month period during the Lock-Up Period, of a number of Restricted Securities not to exceed 25% of the Continuing Company Units held directly or indirectly by the Holder immediately following the Closing;
(B) establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of Restricted Securities; provided, that such plan does not provide for the transfer of Restricted Securities during the Lock-Up Period except as permitted by clause (A);
(C) transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities by a bona fide gift or charitable contribution;
(D) transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities by will or intestate succession upon the death of the Holder or any Permitted Transferee;
(E) transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities to any Permitted Transferee;
(F) transfer of any New JAWS Class B Shares in connection with a concurrent transfer of Continuing Company Units in accordance with, as permitted by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Amended and Restated Company LLC Agreement; or
(G) in the event of the Companys completion of a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their New JAWS Shares for cash, securities or other property;
provided, however, that in the case of (C), (D) or (E), it shall be a condition to such transfer that the transferee executes and delivers to the Company an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Restricted Securities subject to the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such holder, and there shall be no further transfer of such Restricted Securities except in accordance with this Agreement; provided, further, that in the case of (C), (D) or (E) (to the extent such transfer is to a party other than a Permitted Transferee (other than any direct or indirect limited partner of the applicable Holder)), in each case, such transfer or distribution shall not involve a disposition for value.
As used in this Agreement, the term Permitted Transferee shall mean:
(i) any direct or indirect general partner, limited partner, shareholder, member or owner of similar equity interests in a Holder;
(ii) a trust, or other entity formed for estate planning purposes for the primary benefit of the spouse, domestic partner, parent, sibling, child or grandchild of the Holder or any other person with whom the Holder has a relationship by blood, marriage or adoption not more remote than first cousin; or
(iii) any affiliate of the Holder.
2
The Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company that are consistent with the foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.
(b) If any Prohibited Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Prohibited Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, and the Company shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Restricted Securities as one of its equity holders for any purpose. In order to enforce this Section 1, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Restricted Securities (and permitted transferees and assigns thereof) until the end of the Lock-Up Period.
(c) During the Lock-Up Period, each certificate or book-entry position evidencing any Restricted Securities shall be marked with a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF [●], 2021, BY AND BETWEEN THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER OF THE SHARES (OR THE PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST TO THE SECURITIES). A COPY OF SUCH LOCK-UP AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.
(d) For the avoidance of doubt, each Holder shall retain all of its rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Securities during the Lock-Up Period, including the right to vote any Restricted Securities that are entitled to vote. The Company agrees to (i) instruct its transfer agent to remove the legend in clause (c) immediately above upon the expiration of the Lock-Up Period and (ii) if requested by the transfer agent, cause its legal counsel to deliver the necessary legal opinions, if any, to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under subclause (i).
2. Miscellaneous.

This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

(B) Each party irrevocably agrees that any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any other party or its successors or assigns shall be brought and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, solely if such courts decline jurisdiction, in any federal court located in the State of Delaware), and each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with regard to any such Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

Each party agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (iii) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (iv) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 2(D).
4

Except when the context requires otherwise, any reference in this Agreement to any Section or clause shall be to the Sections and clauses of this Agreement. The words herein, hereto, hereof and hereby and other words of similar import in this Agreement shall be deemed in each case to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or other subdivision of this Agreement. The term or means and/or. The words include, includes and including are deemed to be followed by the phrase without limitation. Reference to any person includes such persons successors and assigns to the extent such successors and assigns are permitted by the terms of any applicable agreement, and reference to a person in a particular capacity excludes such person in any other capacity or individually.

Reference to any Law means such Law as amended, modified, codified, replaced or re-enacted, in whole or in part, including rules, regulations, enforcement procedures and any interpretations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date of this Agreement. Any reference to the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall include such other genders and any reference to the singular or plural shall include the other, in each case unless the context otherwise requires.
(f) No Presumption Against Drafting Party.

(g) Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or electronic mail or postage prepaid mail (registered or certified) or nationally recognized overnight courier service and shall be deemed given when so delivered by hand or electronic mail, or if mailed, three (3) days after mailing (one Business Day in the case of overnight courier service), as follows:

No provision of this Agreement may be waived unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the party or parties against whom such waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.
(i) Severability.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
(j) Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Company shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by a Holder and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof.
6
(k) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties under the BCA or any documents related thereto or referred to therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of the Company or any of the obligations of the Holder under any other agreement between the Holder and the Company or any certificate or instrument executed by the Holder in favor of the Company, and nothing in any other agreement, certificate or instrument shall limit any of the rights or remedies of the Company or any of the obligations of the Holder under this Agreement.
(l) Further Assurances. From time to time, at another partys request and without further consideration (but at the requesting partys reasonable cost and expense), each party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(m) Execution of Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in one (1) or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one (1) and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one (1) or more such counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party. Facsimile or electronic mail transmission of counterpart signatures to this Agreement shall be acceptable and binding.
