WHEREAS, the Parties wish to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which the Company shall purchase from the Investors, and the Investors may sell and transfer to the Company, in each case, subject to the conditions set forth herein, certain shares of Common Stock (as defined herein) of OTEC, which the Investors purchase in the open market including from redeeming stockholders of OTEC and do not redeem prior to the closing of the Business Combination (the “BC Closing”) (the “Shares”) on the terms set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, representations, warranties and the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

Agreement

a)             Forward Share Purchase. Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4, on the date that is 36 months after the BC Closing (the “Put Date”), the Investors may elect to sell and transfer to the Company, and the Company shall purchase from the Investors, up to that number of Shares that are then held by the Investors, but not to exceed 4,000,000 Shares in the aggregate unless otherwise agreed to in writing by all Parties, at a price per Share equal to the Redemption Price (as defined in Section 9.2(a) of the Current Charter) (the “Shares Purchase Price”). Each Investor will attempt to notify the Company and the Escrow Agent (as defined herein) in writing at least five (5) Business Days (as defined herein) prior to the Put Date whether or not such Investor is exercising such Investor’s right to sell any of the Shares held by such Investor to the Company pursuant to this Agreement; provided that, if the Put Date is accelerated for any reason pursuant to the terms herein, then such notice shall be due promptly after the Investors become aware of such acceleration (each, a “Shares Sale Notice”). Any Investor that fails to timely deliver a Shares Sales Notice in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have sold any remaining Shares (less any Retained Shares comprising Maturity Consideration) to the Company pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall not apply to any Shares purchased by the Investors after the date of the BC Closing.

b)            Shares Closing. If a Shares Sale Notice is timely delivered by any Investor to the Company and Escrow Agent, or, in the event any Investor fails to deliver a Shares Sales Notice in writing at least five (5) Business Days (as defined herein) prior to the Put Date, the closing of the sale of the Shares contemplated in each such timely delivered Share Sales Notice or then held by the Investors (the “Shares Closing”) shall occur no later than the Put Date. On the Put Date, each selling Investor shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, the Shares subject to the applicable Shares Sale Notice, or otherwise being sold by such selling Investor to the Company, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances to Escrow Agent and, in exchange therefor, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to each such selling Investor(s) an amount equal to (i) the Shares Purchase Price multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares being sold by such selling Investor to the Company plus that number of Retained Shares comprising Maturity Consideration (with respect to any particular selling Investor, the “Investor Shares Purchase Price”), which shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Escrow Account. The Escrow Agent shall, (i) without delay, release from the Escrow Account to each selling Investor on the Put Date, for such selling Investor’s use without restriction, an amount equal to the applicable Investor Shares Purchase Price, and (ii) promptly deliver such sold Shares to the Company. Upon termination of the agreement governing the terms of the Escrow Account to be established in connection herewith, all interest accrued on the escrowed property shall be promptly released to the Investors. The Put Date may be accelerated by the Investor if (i) the Shares are delisted from a Qualified Exchange, (ii) this Agreement is terminated for any reason after the closing of the Business Combination, or (iii) during any 30 consecutive trading day period following the closing of the Business Combination, the VWAP Price (as defined below) for 20 trading days during such period shall be less than $3.00 per Share. For purposes of this Agreement, the “VWAP Price” per Share shall be determined for any trading day or any specified trading period using the Rule 10b-18 volume weighted average price per share of Common Stock as reported via a Bloomberg Terminal by searching “OTEC <Equity> AQR SEC” (or any successor thereto). In addition to the aforementioned cash consideration, on the Put Date, the Investor(s) shall be entitled to the product of (i) any remaining Shares then held by the Investors and (ii) $2.50 (the “Maturity Consideration”). The Investor(s) shall be entitled to retain Shares (the “Retained Shares”) equal to the Maturity Consideration, with the number of shares calculated based on the VWAP Price over the 30 trading days immediately preceding the Put Date. In the event such VWAP Price is below $2.50, the Company shall also register for resale such additional shares of Common Stock representing the difference between the aggregate Maturity Consideration and the Retained Shares (such registration to not be unreasonably withheld) under the Securities Act and deliver such additional shares of Common Stock to the Investor(s) promptly following the effectiveness of such registration statement relating thereto (the “Resale Registration”). If such additional shares of Common Stock to be registered on the Resale Registration equate to 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock, then the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain shareholder approval for the issuance of such shares of Common Stock to the extent required by the stock exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are then listed.

c)             Fees. OTEC shall reimburse Investors for all reasonable and necessary brokerage commissions incurred in connection with the Investors’ acquisition of Shares, in an amount not to exceed $0.05 per Share and $0.02 per disposition of each Share. Furthermore, OTEC shall pay to Investors a structuring fee (the “Structuring Fee”) in the amount of $5,000 on the first trading day of each calendar quarter or, if such date is not a local business day, the next following local business day, payable in advance. The Structuring Fee shall be paid beginning on the date of this Agreement and shall continue to be paid for so long as any Investor owns Shares.

Further, throughout the term of this Agreement, the Investor shall be permitted to engage in limited transfers or assignments of Shares to controlled affiliates or to other funds or entities under Common Control with the original Investors, with prior written approval by the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld (any such transfer, a “Permitted Transfer”); provided, however, that prior to engaging in any such Permitted Transfer, the Investor shall have delivered to the Company a joinder to this Agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Company and any such other documents as may be reasonably requested by the Company to evidence such new holder’s compliance with and agreement to be bound hereby; and provided, further that in no event shall any such Permitted Transfer relieve an Investor from its duties and obligations hereunder with respect to the Shares not so transferred.

iv)                In the event that any Investor elects not to sell to the Company any Shares held by such Investor on the Put Date by such Investor delivering a written notice to the Company on behalf of itself stating such Investor’s intention not to sell any Shares to the Company, the Company may promptly issue instructions to the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Account to the Company for the Company’s use without restriction an amount equal to (x) Per Share Escrowed Amount multiplied by (y) the number of Shares such Investor so elects not to sell to the Company.

f)             Notification. OTEC shall promptly notify the Investors of the occurrence of any event that would make any of the representations and warranties of OTEC set forth in Section 3 untrue or incorrect at any time between the date of this Agreement and the Put Date.

g)            Security Agreement in Escrow Account.

In the event of a default by OTEC or the Company under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, then, in addition to any other rights the Investors may have under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, and applicable law, the Investors shall also have the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of New York.

Investors represent, warrant and covenant to each of OTEC and Majic Wheels, and after the consummation of the Business Combination, to Company, that the Investors and their respective affiliates (a) are not currently holding and will not hold during the term of this Agreement any (i) short positions in Company’s securities or (ii) put or other forward option to dispose of Company’s securities other than as set forth in this Agreement, and (b)   are not currently a party to and will not enter into any transaction during the term of this Agreement that has the effect of or is equivalent to selling short the Company’s securities.

i)              Indemnification. OTEC and any succeeding entities (referred to as the “Indemnitor”) agrees to indemnify the Investors and their affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and shareholders (collectively referred to as the “Indemnitees”) against, and hold them harmless of and from, any and all Damages (as defined below) , which the Indemnitees may suffer or incur by reason of any inquiry (whether voluntary or otherwise), action, claim or proceeding, in each case, brought by the Commission, any governmental agencies, a securities holder of OTEC or the Company, subscriber for securities or third party creditor of OTEC, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries, arising out of, in connection with, or relating to, the execution or delivery of this Agreement, the performance by OTEC of its obligations under this Agreement (which shall include an obligation of OTEC to provide advanced notice to the Investors upon any repurchase of shares of Common Stock after the BC Closing (a “Repurchase Notice”), any breach of any covenant or representation made by OTEC in this Agreement, regulatory filings (including any Resale Registration) made by OTEC related to this Agreement (other than as relates to any information provided by or on behalf of Investors or their affiliates), or the consummation by OTEC of the transactions contemplated hereby, any consequences therefrom or asserting that the Investors are not entitled to receive the aggregate Share Purchase Price or such other amount as they are entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1(a) or Section (4)(e)(iii)(b) of this Agreement, in each case unless such action, claim or proceeding is the result of Indemnitee’s material breach of any covenant, representation or other obligations in this Agreement or of the fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of any Indemnitee. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnitee or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnitee, then OTEC shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnitee as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, OTEC shall not be responsible, or be required to indemnify the Investors in any respect, for Damages suffered or incurred by reason of any action (or inaction) in connection with any Investor’s required disclosure of (or failure to disclose) any information by or with respect to the Investors or any other Indemnitees in connection with entering into this Agreement or the Indemnitees’ participation in any respect in the transactions that are the subject matter hereof, including, without limitation, any regulatory filings made by any Investor or any Indemnitee (other than as relates to any information provided by or on behalf of OTEC or the Company, including without limitation any failure by OTEC to provide a Repurchase Notice) in connection herewith or any other matter with regard to which the Indemnitor has no direct knowledge or information with reasonable inquiry.

j)              No Dividends or Distributions. In the event that, prior to the Put Date, should OTEC declare or pay any dividends on, or make any other distributions to holders of, shares of its Common Stock, whether in cash, in kind or otherwise, no Investor shall be entitled to receive the dividend on any of such Shares and each Investor hereby affirmatively agrees to waive and forgo any right to receive any such dividends or other distributions. If, nevertheless, an Investor receives any such dividend or distribution for any Share Investors elect to sell and transfer to the Company on the Put Date, whether in cash or otherwise, the Investors shall pay or deliver to the Company the amount of such dividend or distribution actually received by the Investor within five (5) Business Days for those Shares.

k)             Change in Law. If, at any time after the date hereof until the termination of this Agreement, (i) due to the adoption of or any change in any applicable law or regulation (including, without limitation, any tax law) or (ii) due to the promulgation of or any change in the interpretation by any court, tribunal or regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction of any applicable law or regulation (including any action taken by a taxing authority), a Party to this Agreement determines in good faith that (x) it has become illegal to hold, acquire or dispose of any Shares or (y) it will incur a materially increased cost in performing its obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, due to any increase in tax liability, decrease in tax benefit or other adverse effect on its tax position), then such Party may elect to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice at least five (5) Business Days in advance of such termination, which termination shall have the effect of accelerating the Put Date to the date of termination and which put rights shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

l)              Adjustments for Stock Splits, Recharacterization or Reclassification. Upon the occurrence of any pro-rata stock split, subdivision, consolidation, recharacterization or reclassification of the Shares (unless resulting in a Merger Event), this Agreement shall automatically be modified in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner to arithmetically account for any such event.

m)            Merger Event.

This Agreement, the entire relationship of the Parties, and any litigation among the Parties (whether grounded in contract, tort, statute, law or equity) shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its choice of laws or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

l)              Severability. The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided that, if any provision of this Agreement, as applied to any Party or to any circumstance, is adjudged by a governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator not to be enforceable in accordance with its terms, the Parties agree that the governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator making such determination will have the power to modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision will then be enforceable and will be enforced.

m)            Expenses. OTEC shall pay the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of legal counsel to the Investors as agreed by the Parties within 10 business days upon receipt of itemized invoices from Investors. OTEC shall also pay all fees and expenses in connection with establishing and maintaining the Escrow Account.

n)             Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Party because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday, or a day on which commercial banks in New York are obligated by any applicable law to close. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign law will be deemed also to refer to law as amended and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If a Party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

o)                  Waiver. No waiver by a Party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent occurrence.

p)                  Limitation on Liability. Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, this Agreement, and the ability of any Investor to recover any remedy for any Damages pursuant or in connection with this Agreement shall be limited and subject entirely, in all respects, to the waiver against trust provisions set forth in Schedule 6(p) hereto.

q)                  Specific Performance. Each Party agrees that irreparable damage may occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed by any other Party in accordance with the terms hereof and that the other Parties shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.

i)              Each Party represent and warrant to each other Party that it is not entering into this Agreement to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) for the purpose of inducing the purchase or sale of such securities or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act, and each Party hereto represents and warrants to the other Party that it has not entered into or altered, and agrees that it will not enter into or alter, any corresponding or hedging transaction or position with respect to the Shares. The Parties acknowledge that it is the intent of the parties that this Agreement comply with the requirements of paragraphs (c)(1)(i)(A) and (B) of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 10b5-1”) and this Agreement shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c).

ii)             The Company agrees that it will not seek to control or influence the Investors’ decision to make any “purchases or sales” (within the meaning of Rule 10b5- 1(c)(1)(i)(B)(3)) under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Investors’ decision to enter into any hedging transactions. The Investors represent and warrant that they have consulted with their own advisors as to the legal aspects of its adoption and implementation of this Agreement under Rule 10b5-1.

iii)            The Parties acknowledges and agrees that any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement must be affected in accordance with the requirements for the amendment or termination of a “plan” as defined in Rule 10b5- 1(c). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that any such amendment, modification, waiver or termination shall be made in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b-5, and no such amendment, modification or waiver shall be made at any time at which such Party or any officer, director, manager or similar person of such Party is aware of any material nonpublic information regarding the Company or the Shares.

Schedule 6(p)

The Investors hereby represent and warrant that each has read the final prospectus of OTEC, dated as of May 27, 2021 and filed with the SEC on June 1, 2021 (File No. 333-255151) (the “IPO Prospectus”) and understands that OTEC has established the trust account with the proceeds from the IPO in accordance with the IPO Prospectus (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of OTEC initial public offering (the “IPO”) and the overallotment shares acquired by OTEC’s underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of OTEC’s public stockholders (including overallotment shares acquired by OTEC underwriters) (the “Public Stockholders”) and that, except as otherwise described in the IPO Prospectus, OTEC may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Stockholders in the event they elect to redeem their shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of its initial business combination or in connection with an amendment to OTEC’s organizational documents to extend OTEC’s deadline to consummate its initial business combination, (b) to the Public Stockholders if OTEC fails to consummate its initial business combination within twelve (12) months after the closing of the IPO (or up to 18 months if further extended), subject to extension by amendment to OTEC’s organizational documents, (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, amounts necessary to pay for any taxes and up to $100,000 in dissolution expenses, and (d) to OTEC after or concurrently with the consummation of its initial business combination. For and in consideration of OTEC entering into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Investors hereby agree on behalf of themselves and their respective affiliates that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Investors nor any of their respective affiliates do now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between OTEC or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the Investors or any of their respective representatives, on the other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively, the “Released Claims”). The Investors on behalf of themselves and their respective affiliates hereby irrevocably waive any Released Claims that the Investors or any of their respective affiliates may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with OTEC or its representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of this Agreement or any other agreement with OTEC or its affiliates). The Investors agree and acknowledge that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by OTEC and its affiliates to induce OTEC to enter in this Agreement, and the Investors further intend and understand such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against the Investors and each of their respective affiliates under applicable law. To the extent that the Investors or any of their respective affiliates commences any action based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to OTEC or its representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against OTEC or its representatives, the Investors hereby acknowledge and agree that they and their respective affiliates’ sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit the Investors or any of their respective affiliates (or any person claiming on any of their behalves or in lieu of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. In the event that the Investors or any of their respective affiliates commences action based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to OTEC or its representatives which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or the Public Stockholders, whether in the form of money damages or injunctive relief, OTEC and its representatives, as applicable, shall be entitled to recover from the Investors and their respective affiliates, as applicable, the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such action, in the event OTEC or its representatives, as applicable, prevails in such action. This paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason and continue indefinitely. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Investors’ right to pursue a claim against OTEC for legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief (but excluding (i) restitution, disgorgement or other equitable relief to the extent affecting funds in the Trust Account or (ii) funds released from the Trust Account to the Public Stockholders or any assets purchased or acquired with such funds) in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including a claim for OTEC to specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement) so long as such claim would not affect OTEC’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate the redemptions, and (b) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Investors may have in the future against OTEC’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds, but excluding distributions to Public Stockholders).
