SPAC, the Company and the Sponsor Parties shall be referred to herein from time to time collectively as the “Parties.” Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, SPAC, the Company and Alejandro García Huidobro Empresario Individual have entered 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”); and

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Sponsor Parties are the record and beneficial owners of all of the issued and outstanding SPAC Shares and SPAC Warrants set forth under such Person’s name on the signature pages hereto.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises contained 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:
 
1.        Non Redemption. Each Sponsor Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that if SPAC seeks shareholder approval of (a) the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or any Transaction Agreement or (b) the Extension Proposal, it or he shall not redeem any SPAC Shares owned by it or him in connection with any such shareholder approval. This Section 1 shall be void and of no force and effect if the Business Combination Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with its terms.
 
2.           Voting.
 
(a)        Until the earlier of (a) the Closing or (b) termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms, at each general meeting of the SPAC Shareholders (whether annual or extraordinary and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting, however called), and in each written consent or resolution of any of the SPAC Shareholders in which such Sponsor Party is entitled to vote or consent, such Sponsor Party hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to be present for such meeting (or otherwise cause its or his Subject Securities to be counted as present thereat for the purpose of establishing a quorum) and vote (in person or by proxy), or consent to any action by written consent or resolution with respect to, as applicable, the Subject Securities (a) in favor of, and to approve and adopt, the Business Combination Agreement, the Transaction Agreements, the Transactions and all SPAC Shareholder Matters, (b) in favor of and to approve and adopt, all other matters contemplated to be adopted or approved by the SPAC Shareholders as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement or any of the Transaction Agreements or in connection with the Transactions, including the Extension Proposal, and (c) in opposition to: (i) any SPAC Business Combination and any and all other proposals (A) that could reasonably be expected to delay or impair the ability of SPAC to consummate any of the Transactions or (B) which are in competition with or materially inconsistent with the Business Combination Agreement, any Transaction Agreement or any of the Transactions or (ii) any other action, proposal, transaction or agreement involving SPAC that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect in any material respect any of the Transactions or would reasonably be expected to result in (A) any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement of the SPAC in the Business Combination Agreement or any Transaction Agreement or (B) any of the conditions to SPAC’s or the Company Parties’ obligations under the Business Combination Agreement or any Transaction Agreement not being fulfilled. For purposes of this Agreement “Subject Securities” shall mean, with respect to a Sponsor Party, such Sponsor Party’s SPAC Shares and any other equity securities of SPAC that such Sponsor Party holds of record or beneficially as of the date of this Agreement or acquires record or beneficial ownership of after the date hereof, including any SPAC Warrants or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for SPAC Shares.

(b)        Prior to the Closing, each Sponsor Party agrees not to deposit, and to cause its Affiliates not to deposit, any Subject Securities in a voting trust or subject any Subject Securities to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such Subject Securities, unless specifically requested to do so by New PubCo, the Company and SPAC in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, any Transaction Agreement or the Transactions.
 
(c)          The obligations of each Sponsor Party specified in this Section 2 shall (i) apply whether or not any of the Transactions is recommended by the board of directors of SPAC, and whether or not any previous such recommendation has been withdrawn, modified, qualified or otherwise changed by the board of directors of SPAC and (ii) be void and of no force and effect if the Business Combination Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with its terms.
