ARTICLE I
THE MERGER
THE MERGER
Section 1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and in accordance with Sections 314
through 327 of the Israeli Companies Law - 5759-1999 (the “Companies Law”) and the Israeli Companies Regulations (Merger), 5760-2000 promulgated under the Companies Law (the “Merger Regulations”), at the Effective Time (as defined in
Section 1.2), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Otonomo. As a result of the Merger: (a) the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub (as the target company, or Chevrat Ha’Ya’ad) shall cease
and Otonomo (as the absorbing company, or HaChevra Ha’Koletet) shall continue as the surviving entity following the Merger (sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Company”); and (b) Otonomo
shall (i) become a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, (ii) continue to be governed by the Laws of the State of Israel, (iii) continue to have a registered office in the State of Israel, and (iv) succeed to and assume all of the rights,
properties and obligations of Merger Sub and Otonomo in accordance with the Companies Law and the existing shareholders of Otonomo shall be entitled to the Merger Consideration (as defined in Section 2.1(a) below) in accordance with the
provisions of Article II of this Agreement.
(a) The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place electronically on a remote basis, at 9:00 a.m., Israel Time, on a date to be specified by the
Company and Otonomo, which shall be no later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article VI hereof (other than those conditions
that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, it being understood that the occurrence of the Closing shall remain subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver of such conditions at the Closing), unless another
time, date or place is agreed to in writing by the Company and Otonomo. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as soon as practicable after the determination of the date on which the Closing is to take place in
accordance with Section 1.2(a), each of Otonomo and Merger Sub shall (and the Company shall cause Merger Sub to), in coordination with each other, deliver to the Registrar of Companies of the State of Israel (the “Israeli Registrar of
Companies”) a notice (i) informing the Israeli Registrar of Companies that all conditions to the Merger under the Companies Law and this Agreement (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing)
have been met (together with any other documentation required to be submitted to the Israeli Registrar of Companies) and (ii) setting forth the proposed date on which the Merger shall become effective and on which the Israeli Registrar of Companies
shall be requested to issue a certificate evidencing the Merger in accordance with Section 323(5) of the Companies Law (the “Certificate of Merger”) after a notice that the Closing has occurred is delivered to the Israeli Registrar of
Companies, which the parties shall deliver promptly following the Closing on the Closing Date. The Merger shall become effective upon the issuance by the Israeli Registrar of Companies of the Certificate of Merger in accordance with Section 323(5)
of the Companies Law (the time at which the Merger becomes effective is referred to herein as the “Effective Time”). For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the Merger shall be declared effective, and that

shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Company; and (c) all the rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of Otonomo (as the Surviving Company) shall continue unaffected by the Merger in accordance with the
Companies Law. Merger Sub will cease to exist and will be stricken from the records of the Israeli Registrar of Companies, and Otonomo will become a private company directly and wholly owned (including with respect to any warrants, options or other
securities) by the Company, all as provided under the Companies Law.

Board shall be divided into three (3) classes, Class I, which shall have three (3) members that are subject to re-election at the Company’s first annual stockholder meeting following Closing, Class II, which shall have two (2) members that are

virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Merger Sub, Otonomo or the shareholders of Otonomo:
(a) Treatment of Otonomo Shares.
(i) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(f) and Section 2.2(h) hereof, each Otonomo Share issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Excluded Shares and shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.1(c) hereof) shall, in accordance with Section 323 of the Companies Law, without any further action of Otonomo’s
shareholders, be automatically be transferred to the Company, and the rights of the holders of the Otonomo Shares (other than any Excluded Shares and Otonomo Shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.1(c) hereof) immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall automatically convert into and represent the right to receive a number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) equal to the Exchange
Ratio (such number of shares of Common Stock, the “Merger Consideration”).
(ii) As of the Effective Time, (a) all Otonomo Shares (other than any Excluded Shares and Otonomo Shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.1(c)
hereof), pursuant to this Section 2.1(a), shall be deemed transferred under Israeli Law to the Company, and each holder of a Certificate (as defined in Section 2.2(b)) or Book-Entry Share which immediately prior to the Effective
Time represented any such Otonomo Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.2(c) upon surrender
of such Otonomo Shares in accordance with Section 2.2 and (b) the share transfer books of Otonomo shall be closed with respect to all Otonomo Shares outstanding and no further transfer of any such Otonomo Shares shall be made on such share
transfer books after the Effective Time. In the event that a holder of Otonomo Shares converted pursuant to the Merger shall be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Common Stock (after aggregating all shares represented by the Certificates
and Book-Entry Shares delivered by such holder) then the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to such holder shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole share of Common Stock (with .5 being rounded up). Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, the Merger Consideration shall not include any cash consideration, subject to any dividends or other distributions as set forth in Section 2.2(c), which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be deemed as part of the
Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Merger Consideration that is issued in respect of 102 Otonomo Shares under this Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(d) shall be deposited with
the 102 Trustee to be held and released in accordance with the provisions of Section 102 of the Ordinance, the 102 Tax Ruling or any other approval that may be issued by the ITA.
(b) Conversion of Merger Sub Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the parties, all Merger Sub
Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically and without further action cease to exist and be deemed as having been automatically and without further action converted into and become the issued
and outstanding shares of the Surviving Company, and the shares of the Surviving Company into which the Merger Sub Shares are so converted shall be the only shares of the Surviving Company that are issued and outstanding immediately after the
Effective Time, and, for the avoidance of doubt, all of which shall be owned by the Company immediately following the Effective Time. Following the Effective Time, each certificate evidencing ownership of Merger Sub Shares shall evidence ownership
of such shares of the Surviving Company.
(c) Cancellation of Certain Shares. Any Otonomo Shares owned by any direct or indirect Otonomo Subsidiary (each, an “Excluded Share”) shall not be
acquired by the Company and shall be canceled or transferred to Otonomo immediately prior to the Effective Time for no consideration. Each Otonomo Share, if any, that is a dormant share (or menayah redumah)
under Israeli Law and each Otonomo Share that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, is owned by Xxxxxxx, shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist as of immediately prior to the Effective Time without any conversion and no
consideration shall be delivered in respect thereof.
15
(d) Otonomo Equity Awards.
(i) Otonomo RSU Awards. Prior to the Effective Time, Xxxxxxx shall issue the restricted stock units relating to Otonomo Shares
contemplated by that certain Key Holder and Employee RSU Allocation Agreement, dated February 26, 2022, by and between The Floow Limited (the “Floow”) and Otonomo. As of the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit award relating to
Otonomo Shares granted under any Otonomo Equity Plan (each, an “Otonomo RSU Award”) that remains outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, without any action on the part of the holder thereof be assumed by the Company and
automatically converted into an award of restricted stock units covering shares of Common Stock (each, an “Adjusted RSU Award”) that settles in the number of whole shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole number of shares, with
.5 being rounded up) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Otonomo Shares subject to the Otonomo RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (B) the Exchange Ratio. Each Adjusted RSU Award corresponding to an
Otonomo RSU Award outstanding as of the Effective Time shall, except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.1(d)(i), be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such corresponding Otonomo RSU Award immediately prior
to the Effective Time (including vesting and the current Tax Track, assuming that all the conditions of such Tax Track are met and subject to the provisions of the 102 Tax Ruling).
(ii) Otonomo Stock Options. Otonomo shall take all actions necessary to provide that each option to purchase Otonomo Shares (each, an
“Otonomo Stock Option”) that is outstanding and unexercised shall be cancelled effective as of not later than the Determination Time. In furtherance of and without limiting the foregoing:
(A) Vesting of each Otonomo Stock Option that has an exercise price per share that is greater than the Fair Market Value (as defined in the
applicable Otonomo Equity Plan) of one Otonomo Share as of the third (3rd) Business Day prior the Anticipated Closing Date (such date the “Option Measurement Date” and such options, the “Otonomo In-the-Money Options”) shall
be accelerated, such that all Otonomo In-the-Money Options shall be vested and exercisable as of not later than the Option Measurement Date.
(B) On or prior to the Option Measurement Date, Xxxxxxx shall notify and inform the holder of each Otonomo In-the-Money Option of the
treatment of unexercised Otonomo In-the-Money Options as set forth herein and the opportunity and deadline to exercise the Otonomo In-the-Money Options.
(C) Effective as of immediately prior to the Determination Time, each Otonomo In-the-Money Option that then remains outstanding and
unexercised (after taking into account any exercises in accordance with Section 2.1(d)(ii)(B) above) shall, without any action on the part of the Company, Otonomo or any other Person (other than such actions of the Administrator or
Committee (as such terms are defined in the Otonomo Equity Plans) as are necessary to give effect to the treatment of Otonomo Stock Options as provided herein), be deemed to be exercised in full (on a “net exercise” cashless basis) and cancelled,
and the holder of such Otonomo In-the-Money Option shall thereupon receive, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, a number of fully vested Otonomo Shares (rounded down to the next whole share) equal to the quotient
obtained by dividing (a) the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of one Otonomo Share as of the Option Measurement Date over the per share exercise price of such Otonomo In-the-Money Option, multiplied by (ii) the number of
Otonomo Shares subject to such Otonomo In-the-Money Option, by (b) the Fair Market Value of one Otonomo Share as of the Option Measurement Date, in each case subject to any applicable Tax withholding amounts, and the provisions of Section 2.1(a)
above shall apply with respect to such Otonomo Shares.
16
(D) Effective as of immediately prior to the Determination Time, each Otonomo Stock Option that then remains outstanding and unexercised
(after taking into account any exercises in accordance with Section 2.1(d)(ii)(B) above) and that is not an Otonomo In-the-Money Option shall, whether or not then vested or exercisable, without any action on the part of the Company, Otonomo
or any other Person (other than such actions of the Administrator or Committee (as such terms are defined in the Otonomo Equity Plans) as are necessary to give effect to the treatment of Otonomo Stock Options as provided herein), be cancelled
without any payment being made in respect thereof.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any 102 Securities that are assumed and become Adjusted RSU Awards pursuant to
this Section 2.1(d) shall be deposited with the 102 Trustee to be held and released in accordance with the provisions of Section 102 of the Ordinance, the 102 Tax Ruling or any other approval that may be issued by the ITA.
(iv) Company Actions. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary for the treatment of Otonomo
Stock Options described in Section 2.1(d)(ii), assumption of the Otonomo RSU Awards, their conversion into Adjusted RSU Awards, and the treatment thereof pursuant to this Section 2.1(d), including (i) the reservation, issuance and
listing of a number of shares of Common Stock and (ii) the assumption of the Otonomo Equity Plans and amendments thereto as required for the purpose of adapting the plans to the laws applicable to the Company (which following assumption and
amendments thereof shall be referred to herein collectively as the “Assumed Company Plan”), as necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.1(d). As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, the Company
shall file a registration statement under the Securities Act on Form X-0, Xxxx X-0 or another appropriate form (and use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness thereof and maintain the current status of the prospectuses contained
therein) with respect to the assumption of the Assumed Company Plan and the shares of Common Stock subject to each such award under the Assumed Company Plan and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such
registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such awards remain outstanding and shall reserve a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock
for issuance upon exercise or settlement thereof. As soon as practicable after the registration of such shares of Common Stock, the Company shall deliver to the holders of the Adjusted RSU Awards appropriate notices setting forth such holders’
rights pursuant to the respective Otonomo Equity Plans and stating that the applicable Otonomo RSU Awards have been assumed by the Company and automatically converted into Adjusted RSU Awards, and shall continue in effect on the same terms and
conditions (subject to the adjustments required by this Section 2.1(d)).
(v) Otonomo Actions. Prior to the Effective Time, and subject to review and reasonable approval by the Company (which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), Otonomo, the Otonomo Board or any committee thereof, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions that are necessary or appropriate to effectuate the treatment of the Otonomo
RSU Awards and Otonomo Stock Options in accordance with Sections 2.1(d)(i) and 2.1(d)(ii), respectively, determining that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement constitute a “Merger/Sale” as defined under the Otonomo Equity
Plans and that the treatment of Otonomo RSU Awards and Otonomo Stock Options contemplated by this Section 2.1(d) is permissible under the terms of the Otonomo Equity Plans and the applicable equity award agreements. Prior to the Effective
Time, Xxxxxxx shall deliver evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that all necessary determinations by the Otonomo Board to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.1(d) have been made.
17
(e) Conversion of Otonomo Warrants. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(g) and Section 2.2(h) hereof, each warrant to acquire Otonomo
Shares (each, an “Otonomo Warrant”) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall cease to represent an Otonomo Warrant in respect of Otonomo Shares and shall be assumed by the Company and automatically
converted into a warrant to acquire shares of Common Stock (each, an “Assumed Company Warrant”). The number of shares of Common Stock subject to each such Assumed Company Warrant shall be equal to the product (rounded to the nearest whole
number, with .5 being rounded up) of (x) the number of Otonomo Shares subject to such Otonomo Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio, and the exercise price per share of Common Stock shall be equal to
the quotient of (1) the exercise price per Otonomo Share immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (2) the Exchange Ratio, which quotient shall be rounded to the nearest whole cent (with .05 being rounded up). The Company shall assume each
such Otonomo Warrant in accordance with its terms, and except as expressly provided above, following the Effective Time, each Assumed Company Warrant shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting terms) as were
applicable to the applicable Otonomo Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, Xxxxxxx shall take all action necessary for the treatment of the Otonomo Warrants in accordance with this Section 2.1(e),
including executing an amendment to the Otonomo Warrant Agreement pursuant to Section 5.4 thereto.
(f) Certain Otonomo Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Otonomo Stock Options or Otonomo Warrants described in Schedule
2.1(f) of the Otonomo Disclosure Schedules shall be treated as set forth in such Schedule.
(g) Fractional Shares. No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of
Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. Any fractional shares of Common Stock that otherwise would be issuable pursuant to the Merger shall be treated as provided in Section 2.1(a)(ii).
(a) Exchange Agent; Exchange Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company and Xxxxxxx shall engage a U.S. nationally-recognized financial institution to be
mutually agreed upon to act as exchange agent in connection with the Merger (which will use a local Israeli nationally-recognized sub-paying agent (the “Israeli Paying Agent”)) (the “Exchange Agent”). At or prior to the Effective
Time, the Company shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, with no withholding of Taxes, in trust for the sole benefit of the holders of Otonomo Shares and Otonomo Warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time, and to the extent required pursuant
to Section 2.2(g)(iii), in the Exchange Agent’s name, for exchange in accordance with this Article II, through the Exchange Agent, certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(a),
the Assumed Company Warrants pursuant to Section 2.1(e) and any dividends or distributions to which holders of Otonomo Shares may be entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(c). All shares of Common Stock and Assumed Company Warrants
deposited with the Exchange Agent together with any dividends or other distributions with respect thereto, shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund.” In the event the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to pay the Merger
Consideration in accordance with Section 2.1(a), the Assumed Company Warrants pursuant to Section 2.1(e) and any dividends or other distributions under Section 2.2(c), the Company shall promptly deposit, with no withholding
of Taxes, additional shares of Common Stock, additional Assumed Company Warrants or, with respect to any dividends or other distributions under Section 2.2(c), funds with the Exchange Agent in an amount that is equal to the shortfall that
is required to make such payment. The Company shall cause the Exchange Agent to transfer to the Israeli Paying Agent the Exchange Fund with no withholding of Taxes, and the Israeli Paying Agent shall make, delivery of the Merger Consideration, the
Assumed Company Warrants and any amounts payable in respect of dividends or other distributions on shares of Common Stock issued in exchange for Otonomo Shares in the Merger in accordance with Section 2.2(c), out of the Exchange Fund in
accordance with this Agreement. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than a purpose expressly provided for in this Agreement. The cash portion of the Exchange Fund (which shall only be in respect of dividends or other
distributions under Section 2.2(c)), if any, shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as reasonably directed by the Company; provided, however, that any investment of such cash shall in all events be limited to direct
short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government, in commercial paper rated P-1 or A-1 or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation,
respectively, and that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to this Article II.
18
(b) Exchange Procedures.
(i) Promptly after the Effective Time, the Company shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or
certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Otonomo Shares (the “Certificates”) or Book-Entry Shares, which at the Effective Time were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration
pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and
shall be in such form and have such other provisions as the Company may reasonably specify), (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions
payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c), to the extent required, (iii) a declaration (or such other forms as may be required under any applicable Tax law, the 104H Tax Ruling, the 104H Interim Ruling and the Withholding Tax Ruling, and each in
such form as may be reasonably requested by the Exchange Agent or the Israeli Paying Agent) in which the beneficial owner of Otonomo Shares provides certain information necessary for the Exchange Agent or Israeli Paying Agent to determine whether
any amounts need to be withheld from the consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to such beneficial owner hereunder pursuant to the terms of the Ordinance (in each case, subject to the terms of the 104H Tax Ruling, the 104H Interim Ruling
and the Withholding Tax Ruling) and, with respect to each holder that is a current, former, or prospective employee or office holder of Otonomo or an Otonomo Subsidiary who is (or who by reference to the employment or office of another person is)
to acquire shares of Common Stock pursuant to this agreement and who is subject to tax in the United Kingdom, an election pursuant to section 431(1) of the UK Income Tax (Earnings and Xxxxxxxx) Xxx 0000 with the relevant employing entity in
relation to such shares of Common Stock (a “431 Election”). Upon (A) in the case of Xxxxxxx Shares represented by a Certificate, the surrender of such certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent together with the letter of
transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, including, if applicable, a duly completed and validly executed declaration or Qualified Withholding Certificate or such other forms as may be required
under any applicable Tax law, the 104H Tax Ruling, the 104H Interim Ruling and the Withholding Tax Ruling or a 431 Election, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent or Israeli Paying Agent; or (B) in the case of
Book-Entry Shares, the receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive subject to, if applicable, a duly completed and validly executed
declaration or Qualified Withholding Certificate or such other forms required to be filed or collected under any applicable Tax Law, the 104H Tax Ruling, the 104H Interim Ruling and the Withholding Tax Ruling or a 431 Election, in exchange therefor
the applicable Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1 (which shall be in uncertificated book-entry form), any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c), and the Certificates
so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of a Certificate which is not registered in the transfer records of Xxxxxxx as of the Effective Time, certificates representing the proper amount of Merger Consideration may be
issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer
and the Person requesting such issuance shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of shares of Common Stock to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the
Company that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable and subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(g). Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2(b), each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective
Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration (and any amounts to be paid pursuant to Section 2.2(c)) upon such surrender. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on any amount payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c).
19
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any holder of a Book-Entry Share shall not be required to deliver a Certificate
or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent in order to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1 upon such surrender. In lieu thereof, each registered holder of one or
more Book-Entry Shares shall automatically upon the Effective Time be entitled to receive, and the Company shall cause the Israeli Paying Agent to pay and deliver immediately after the Effective Time the applicable Merger Consideration pursuant to
the provisions of this Article II (and any amounts to be paid pursuant to Section 2.2(c)), subject to any applicable withholding Tax pursuant to Section 2.2(g) and Section 2.2(h), and subject to the submission to the
Israeli Paying Agent or the Exchange Agent of any duly completed and validly executed declaration or Qualified Withholding Certificate or such other forms required to be filed or collected under any applicable Tax Law, the 104H Tax Ruling, the 104H
Interim Ruling and the Withholding Tax Ruling, and the Book-Entry Shares of such holder shall forthwith be cancelled.
(iii) Promptly after the Effective Time, if required under applicable Tax Law, the 104H Tax Ruling, the 104H Interim Ruling or the Withholding
Tax Ruling, Company shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of Otonomo Warrants, which at the Effective Time were converted into the right to receive the Assumed Company Warrants, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.1, a
declaration (or such other forms as may be required under any applicable Tax Law, the 104H Tax Ruling, the 104H Interim Ruling and the Withholding Tax Ruling, and each in such form as may be reasonably requested by the Exchange Agent or the Israeli
Paying Agent) in which the beneficial owner of Otonomo Warrants provides certain information necessary for the Exchange Agent or Israeli Paying Agent to determine whether any amounts need to be withheld from the consideration payable or otherwise
deliverable to such beneficial owner hereunder pursuant to the terms of the Ordinance (in each case, subject to the terms of the 104H Tax Ruling, the 104H Interim Ruling, the Withholding Tax Ruling and Section 2.2(g)).
(iv) It is hereby clarified that in the event that (A) the Withholding Tax Ruling is obtained and (B) there is no requirement under such
Withholding Tax Ruling to provide a declaration or any kind of form from holders of Book-Entry Shares and Otonomo Warrants, then the holders of Book-Entry Shares or Otonomo Warrants shall not be required to provide any forms or declaration pursuant
to this Section 2.2.
(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Common Stock with a record date after the
Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share with respect to the shares of Common Stock represented thereby, until such Certificate has been surrendered in accordance with this Article II.
Subject to applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the recordholder thereof, without interest, (i) promptly after such surrender, the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable in exchange therefor
pursuant to this Article II, together with the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Common Stock and (ii) at the appropriate payment
date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Common Stock, less the amount of any withholding Taxes
pursuant to Section 2.2(g).
(d) No Further Ownership Rights in Otonomo Shares. All shares of Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or to the holders of
Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to Otonomo Shares previously represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. At the
Effective Time, the share transfer books of Otonomo shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the share transfer books of the Surviving Company of Otonomo Shares which were outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, Certificates and Book-Entry Shares to be exchanged by any Person constituting an “affiliate” of Otonomo for purposes of Rule 145 under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the applicable rules and regulations
of the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder (the “Securities Act”), shall be subject to the restrictions described in such Rule 145.
20
(e) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains unclaimed by, or otherwise undistributed to, the holders of Certificates and
Book-Entry Shares one (1) year after the Effective Time, shall be delivered to the Company, upon demand, and any holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only
to the Company for satisfaction of its claim for the Merger Consideration and any dividends or distributions pursuant to Section 2.2(c).
(f) No Liability. None of the Company, Merger Sub, Otonomo or the Exchange Agent or any of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall
be liable to any Person in respect of any shares of Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate shall not
have been surrendered prior to five (5) years after the Effective Time, or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any shares of Common Stock, or any dividends or distributions with respect to shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of
such Certificate would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority (as defined in Section 3.6), any such shares, dividends or distributions in respect of such Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Company, free and clear of all claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.
(g) Withholding Rights.
(i) Otonomo, the Exchange Agent, the Israeli Paying Agent, the 102 Trustee, the Company, the Surviving Company and any other Person who has
any obligation to deduct or withhold from any amount or consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement (each such Person, a “Withholding Agent”), shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount or consideration payable or
otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Ordinance, any provision of U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax law or under any applicable Laws. To the extent such
amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be timely paid over to the applicable Governmental Authority, and shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction
and withholding was made by the Withholding Agent, and the Exchange Agent or other applicable Withholding Agent (if any) shall furnish as promptly as practicable such Person with a documentation evidencing such Tax withholding or deduction.
21
(ii) With respect to Israeli Tax and subject to any other provision to the contrary in the Withholding Tax Ruling, the 104H Tax Ruling or the
104H Interim Ruling, and in accordance with the undertaking of the Israeli Paying Agent to the Exchange Agent provided to the Company prior to the Closing Date by the Exchange Agent, pursuant to Section 6.2.4.3 of the Income Tax Circular 19/2018
(Transaction for Sale of Rights in a Corporation that includes Consideration that will be transferred to the Seller at Future Dates), the Merger Consideration and Assumed Company Warrants payable or otherwise deliverable hereunder (including any
amounts payable in respect of dividends or other distributions on Merger Consideration stock, in accordance with Section 2.2(c)) to each of the holders of Otonomo Shares and Otonomo Warrants (in each case, other than holders of 102 Otonomo
Shares) (each, a “Securityholder”) shall be transferred by the Exchange Agent to, and retained by, the Israeli Paying Agent for the respective benefit of each Securityholder for a period of thirty (30) days from Closing (including with
respect to any consideration deliverable to the Securityholder as a result of any adjustment pursuant to Section 2.1(f)) or an earlier date required in writing by a Securityholder or the ITA or a later date of up to three hundred and
sixty-five (365) days from the Closing as extended by notice of either the Company or Otonomo to the other party, respectively, or such other later date as agreed by the parties (the “Withholding Drop Date”), during which time the Israeli
Paying Agent shall not pay or deliver any amounts to a Securityholder and shall not withhold any Israeli Tax from such Merger Consideration, Assumed Company Warrants and any other amounts, except as provided below. During such period, each
Securityholder may obtain a certification or ruling or any other written instructions regarding Tax withholdings issued by the ITA, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Israeli Paying Agent, that is applicable to the
payments or other consideration to be made to any Person pursuant to this Agreement stating that no withholding, or reduced withholding, of any Israeli Tax is required with respect to such payment or other consideration or providing any other
instructions regarding Tax withholdings (the “Qualified Withholding Certificate”). Where a Securityholder submits a Qualified Withholding Certificate to the Israeli Paying Agent no later than three (3) Business Days before the Withholding
Drop Date, the Israeli Paying Agent shall withhold and timely transfer to the ITA an amount from the Securityholder’s portion of the Merger Consideration, Assumed Company Warrants and any other amounts, as specified in the Qualified Withholding
Certificate. Where a Securityholder fails to submit a Qualified Withholding Certificate to the Israeli Paying Agent by no later than three (3) Business Days before the Withholding Drop Date, the Israeli Paying Agent shall withhold and timely
transfer to the ITA an amount from the Securityholder’s portion of the Merger Consideration, Assumed Company Warrants and any other amounts payable, as required under applicable Law. To the extent that the Israeli Paying Agent is obliged to
withhold Israeli Taxes on behalf of a Securityholder, the Securityholder shall provide the Israeli Paying Agent with the cash amount due with regards to such Israeli Taxes, within three (3) Business Days from receipt of a request from the Israeli
Paying Agent to make such payment, and in any event prior to the release of the Merger Consideration, Assumed Company Warrants and any other amounts deliverable or payable to the Securityholder. In the event that the Securityholder fails to provide
the Israeli Paying Agent with the full cash amount necessary to satisfy such Israeli Taxes within such timeframe, the Israeli Paying Agent shall be entitled to sell the Securityholder’s retained shares of Common Stock or exercise the Assumed
Company Warrants into Common Stock and sell such Common Stock, on behalf of and for the benefit of such Securityholder on the open market to a person other than the Company or any Affiliate of the Company to the extent necessary to satisfy the
amount due with regards to such Israeli Taxes. Any cash proceeds from any such sale in excess of the amount of Israeli Taxes due with respect to such Securityholder, net of any expenses, shall be delivered to the applicable Securityholder and the
Israeli Taxes shall be remitted to the ITA. Any costs or expenses incurred by the Israeli Paying Agent in connection with such sale shall be borne by such Securityholder. In the event that the Company, the Exchange Agent, the Israeli Paying Agent
or anyone on their behalf receives a demand from the ITA to withhold any amount out of the Merger Consideration, Assumed Company Warrant or any other amounts payable to any of the Securityholders and transfer it to the ITA prior to the Withholding
Drop Date, the Israeli Paying Agent shall promptly notify such Securityholders of the demand, and provide such Securityholders with reasonable time (but in no event less than twenty (20) Business Days, unless otherwise explicitly required in
writing by the ITA or under any applicable Law) to attempt to delay such requirement or extend the period for complying with such requirement as evidenced by a written certificate, ruling or confirmation from the ITA, in which time the Merger
Consideration, Assumed Company Warrants or any other amounts payable or deliverable shall not be released to such Securityholders. To the extent that a Qualified Withholding Certificate is not timely provided by such recipient to the Israeli Paying
Agent, the Israeli Paying Agent shall transfer to the ITA any amount so demanded, including any interest, indexation and fines required in writing by the ITA in respect thereof, following receipt of such amount from Securityholder or sale of such
Securityholder’s retained shares of Common Stock (including any Common Stock resulting from the exercise of any Assumed Company Warrants) in accordance with Section 2.2(g)(ii) to the extent necessary to satisfy the full amount due with
regards to such Israeli Taxes.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and subject to any other provision to the contrary in the Withholding Tax
Ruling, the 104H Tax Ruling or the 104H Interim Ruling with respect to Israeli Tax, until a Securityholder presents to the Israeli Paying Agent a Qualified Withholding Certificate fully exempting the Israeli Paying Agent from Israeli Tax
withholding or evidence satisfactory to the Israeli Paying Agent that the full applicable Israeli Tax amount with respect to such Securityholder, as reasonably determined by the Israeli Paying Agent, was withheld and paid to the ITA, any
certificates of shares of Common Stock and any Assumed Company Warrants issuable to such Securityholder shall be issued only in the name of the Israeli Paying Agent to be held in trust for and on behalf of and for the benefit of the relevant
Securityholder and delivered to such Securityholder in compliance with the withholding requirements under this Section 2.2(g).
22
(iv) Each Person hereby waives, releases and absolutely and forever discharges the Company, the Exchange Agent, the Israeli Paying Agent or
anyone acting on their behalf from and against any and all claims for any losses in connection with the forfeiture or sale of any portion of the shares of Common Stock (including any Common Stock resulting from the exercise of the Assumed Company
Warrants) otherwise deliverable to such Person in compliance with the withholding requirements under this Section 2.2(g). For the avoidance of doubt, each Securityholder entitled to receive shares of Common Stock pursuant to this
Agreement (each, a “recipient”) shall be treated as the beneficial owner of such shares of Common Stock for all Tax purposes as of the Effective Time, regardless of whether such shares of Common Stock are held directly or by an Israeli
Paying Agent and each of the parties shall cause and instruct the Israeli Paying Agent to act consistent with such treatment for all purposes, including dividend rights applicable to the shares of Common Stock. To the extent the Israeli Paying
Agent sells any recipient’s shares of Common Stock, (i) the Israeli Paying Agent shall be acting on behalf of and for the benefit of such recipient, solely as an agent of the recipient, for administrative convenience, (ii) the recipient shall be
treated as the seller, and prior to the sale, the beneficial owner of such of shares of Common Stock for all Tax purposes, including Tax reporting, and (iii) the recipient shall be responsible for, and hold the Israeli Paying Agent and each of its
respective representatives and Affiliates, harmless from, any Taxes arising as a result of the sale of such recipient’s shares of Common Stock and the exercise of any Assumed Company Warrants. To the extent that the Israeli Paying Agent is unable,
for whatever reason, to exercise the Assumed Company Warrants or to sell the applicable portion of shares of Common Stock required to finance applicable deduction or withholding requirements, then the Israeli Paying Agent shall be entitled to hold
all of the Assumed Company Warrants and shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable to the applicable Person until the earlier of: (a) the receipt of a Qualified Withholding Certificate from the Person fully exempting the Israeli Paying Agent and
the Company from Tax withholding; or (b) such time when the Israeli Paying Agent is able to sell the portion of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable to such Person that is required to enable the Israeli Paying Agent to comply with such
applicable deduction or withholding requirements. Any costs or expenses incurred by the relevant Israeli Paying Agent in connection with such sale shall be borne by, and deducted from the payment to, the applicable Person.
(v) Notwithstanding the above, any consideration paid or issued to a holder of Otonomo Stock Options, Otonomo RSU Awards or 102 Otonomo Shares
pursuant to this Agreement, shall be subject to deduction or withholding of Israeli Tax under the Ordinance on the sixteenth (16th) day of the calendar month following the month on which the Closing occurs, unless prior to the sixteenth
(16th) day of the calendar month following the month on which the Closing occurs, (i) with respect to 102 Securities and 3(i) Awards, the 102 Tax Ruling, if applicable, shall have been obtained providing for no withholding or determining
the withholding procedure, and (ii) with respect to holders of Otonomo Stock Options or Otonomo RSU Awards who are not Israeli residents, the Withholding Tax Ruling provides for instructions regarding withholding of Israeli Tax (and if such
determination is subject to fulfillment of certain requirements, such requirements shall have been fulfilled).
(vi) Any withholding made in NIS with respect to payments made hereunder in Dollars shall be calculated based on a conversion rate on the payment
date and in such manner as the Israeli Paying Agent reasonably determines to be in compliance with applicable Tax law and any Tax ruling issued by the ITA. Any currency conversion commissions shall be borne by the applicable consideration recipient
and deducted from any consideration to be delivered to such payment recipient.
(h) 102 Tax Ruling. Otonomo, through its legal and accounting representatives in cooperation with the Company, through its legal and accounting
representatives, as soon as practicable after the Agreement Date will approach the ITA, in full coordination with the Company and the Company’s Israeli counsel and Tax advisors, with an application for a ruling (the “102 Tax Ruling”) in
relation to the Israeli Tax treatment of 102 Securities and 3(i) Awards under this Agreement to confirm, among other things, that (A) the assumption of the 102 Awards and 3(i) Awards and exchange of 102 Otonomo Shares will not be treated as an
Israeli taxable event and that tax continuity shall apply to the applicable Merger Consideration, including the Adjusted RSU Awards; provided, that the applicable consideration paid to holders of 102 Securities is deposited with the 102
Trustee; (B) the Company and anyone acting on its behalf, including the Exchange Agent and the 102 Trustee, shall be exempt from Israeli withholding Tax in relation to any payments or consideration transferred to the 102 Trustee in relation to 102
Securities and 3(i) Awards; (iii) approval of the net-exercise mechanism for 102 Options as described in Section 2.1(d)(ii) above (unless Xxxxxxx obtained from the ITA a customary green-track net-exercise ruling (ITA form 912)), and shall
include such additional terms as are customary to be included in such rulings. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Xxxxxxx will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be
done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to obtain the 102 Tax Ruling as promptly as practicable.
23
(i) 104H Tax Ruling. As soon as practicable following the Agreement Date, but in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days following the Agreement Date,
Otonomo shall in coordination with the Company and its Israeli legal counsel, advisors and accountants prepare and file with the ITA an application for a ruling permitting any holder of Otonomo Shares or Otonomo Warrants who elects to become a
party to such a Tax ruling (each, an “Electing Holder”), to defer any applicable Israeli Tax, if applied, with respect to such consideration that such Electing Holder will receive pursuant to this Agreement until the sale, transfer or other
conveyance for cash of such portion of the consideration by such Electing Holder or such other date set forth in Section 104H of the Ordinance (the “104H Tax Ruling”). If the 104H Tax Ruling is not granted prior to the Closing, Xxxxxxx shall
seek to receive prior to the Closing an interim Tax ruling confirming among others that the Company, the Exchange Agent, the Israeli Paying Agent and anyone acting on their behalf will be exempt from Israeli withholding Tax in relation to any
payments made to the 104H Trustee (such a ruling, the “104H Interim Ruling”). The Company shall cooperate with Xxxxxxx, the Electing Holders and their Israeli counsel with respect to the preparation and filing of such application and in the
preparation of any written or oral submissions that may be necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the 104H Tax Ruling or the 104H Interim Ruling; provided, that any costs associated with the application for the 104H Tax Ruling and the
104H Interim Ruling shall be paid by Otonomo prior to the Closing; and provided, further, that the 104H Interim Ruling or the 104H Tax Ruling shall not impose any material restrictions or obligations on the Company or any affiliate
thereof or the Surviving Company. Upon the obtaining of the 104H Tax Ruling and the 104H Interim Ruling, the Company, Otonomo, the Exchange Agent, the Israeli Paying Agent and each Electing Holder (each, if required) shall furnish to the ITA
customary approval letters of the terms of such ruling. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.2(i), if the 104H Tax Ruling or the 104H Interim Ruling shall be received and delivered to the Company at least three (3) Business Days
prior to the Withholding Drop Date, then the 104H Tax Ruling shall apply with respect to each Electing Holder and all applicable withholding and reporting procedures with respect to their consideration shall be made in accordance with the
provisions of the 104H Interim Ruling and 104H Tax Ruling, as applicable, and Section 104H of the Ordinance. Each of the 104H Tax Ruling or the 104H Interim Ruling, if obtained, shall be considered as a Qualified Withholding Certificate.
(j) Withholding Tax Ruling. As soon as practicable following the Agreement Date, but in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days following the Agreement
Date, Otonomo shall in coordination with the Company and its Israeli legal counsel, advisors and accountants, prepare and file with the ITA an application for a ruling with respect to (i) any recipient of the Merger Consideration or the Assumed
Company Warrants that (A) acquired Otonomo Shares or Otonomo Warrants on or after August 13, 2021, (B) as of the Closing Date (or another date, if required by the ITA), holds less than five percent (5%) of the share capital of Otonomo and (C) is
not an Electing Holder, exempting the Company, the Exchange Agent, the Israeli Paying Agent, the Surviving Company and their respective agents from any obligation to withhold Israeli Tax at the source from any consideration payable or otherwise
deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, including the Merger Consideration and the Assumed Company Warrants, or clarifying that no such obligation exists and (ii) any recipient of the Merger Consideration (other than those in the preceding
sub-clause (i)) and any holder of Otonomo Stock Options and Otonomo RSU Awards (in each case which are not 102 Awards or 3(i) Awards), instructing the Company, the Exchange Agent, the Israeli Paying Agent, the Surviving Company and their respective
agents on how such withholding shall be applied, confirming what withholding Tax rate shall be applied and advising on how any such recipients or holders shall be identified (the “Withholding Tax Ruling” which, for removal of doubt, shall be
either a separate Tax ruling (or rulings) or incorporated as part of the 104H Tax Ruling or the 104H Interim Ruling). It is hereby clarified that any recipient of the Merger Consideration that acquired its Otonomo Shares prior to August 13, 2021 or
that, as of the Closing Date (or another date, if required by the ITA), holds five percent (5%) or more of the share capital of Otonomo may (A) choose to apply the provisions of the 104H Tax Ruling and Section 104H of the Ordinance with respect to
the consideration payable to such recipient pursuant to this Agreement by becoming an Electing Holder and following the procedures set out by the ITA in the 104H Tax Ruling with respect to such an election if and to the extent such ruling is
obtained, or (B) obtain a Qualified Withholding Certificate. Without limiting the generality of foregoing, the Company shall cooperate with Otonomo and its Israeli counsel with respect to the preparation and filing of such application and
in the preparation of any written or oral submissions that may be necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the Withholding Tax Ruling; provided, that any costs associated with the application for the Withholding Tax Ruling shall be paid by
Xxxxxxx prior to the Closing; and provided, further that the Withholding Tax Ruling shall not impose any material restrictions or obligations on the Company or any affiliate thereof or the Surviving Company. Upon the obtaining of
the Withholding Tax Ruling, the Company and Xxxxxxx shall furnish to the ITA customary approval letters of the terms of such ruling. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Xxxxxxx shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly take, or
cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to obtain the Withholding Tax Ruling, as promptly as practicable. The Withholding Tax Ruling, if obtained, shall be
considered as a Qualified Withholding Certificate.
24
(k) Cooperation. The Company and Otonomo shall, and shall cause their respective legal and accounting Representatives to, coordinate and cooperate with each
other in good faith with respect to the preparation of any written or oral submissions that may be necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the 102 Tax Ruling, the 104H Tax Ruling, the 104H Interim Ruling and the Withholding Tax Ruling, as
applicable. The Company and Xxxxxxx shall keep each other updated on any written or oral submission and any discussions or meetings with the ITA relating to the 102 Tax Ruling, the 104H Tax Ruling, the 104H Interim Ruling and the Withholding Tax
Ruling. For the avoidance of doubt, Xxxxxxx and its legal and accounting Representatives shall not make any application to the ITA with respect to any matter relating to the 102 Tax Ruling, the 104H Tax Ruling, the 104H Interim Ruling and the
Withholding Tax Ruling, as applicable, without first consulting with the Company’s Israeli legal counsel and granting the Company’s Israeli legal counsel the opportunity to review, comment on and approve the draft application (which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and Xxxxxxx and its legal and accounting Representatives shall enable the Company’s Israeli legal counsel to participate in all material discussions and meetings with the ITA relating thereto.
To the extent that the Company’s Israeli legal counsel elects not to participate in any such meeting or discussion, then Otonomo or its legal and accounting Representatives shall provide the Company’s Israeli legal counsel with an update of the
discussions or meetings held with the ITA. Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 2.2, the text of the applications for, filing relating to, and the final text of the 102 Tax Ruling, the 104H Tax Ruling, the 104H Interim Ruling and
the Withholding Tax Ruling, as applicable shall be subject to the prior written confirmation of the Company or its counsel, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Xxxxxxx and its counsel and advisors shall not make any
application to, or conduct any material negotiation with, the ITA with respect to matters relating to the subject matter of the 102 Tax Ruling, the 104H Tax Ruling, the 104H Interim Ruling and the Withholding Tax Ruling, without prior coordination
with the Company or its counsel, and will enable Company’s counsel to participate in all discussions and meetings relating thereto.
(l) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in
exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such shares of Common Stock as may be required pursuant to Section 2.1(a) and any dividends or distributions
payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c); provided, however, that the Company may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver
a customary agreement of indemnification in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or a bond in such sum as the Company may reasonably direct as indemnity, against any claim that may be made against the Company or the Exchange Agent in
respect of the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

party thereto, and, to the Knowledge of Otonomo, of the other parties thereto, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms, subject to any Enforceability Exceptions. Neither Otonomo nor any Otonomo Subsidiary is in material breach
of, or material default under any Otonomo Material Contract, and, to the Knowledge of Otonomo, the other party to each Otonomo Material Contract is not in material default thereunder. No event has occurred that with the lapse of time or the giving

held for use in the conduct of the business of Otonomo and its Subsidiaries in substantially the same manner as presently conducted. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Xxxxxxx, nor the performance of this Agreement by Xxxxxxx,
will result in the loss, forfeiture, termination, or impairment of, or give rise to a right of any Person to limit, terminate, or consent to the continued use of, any rights of Otonomo or any of its Subsidiaries in any Otonomo Intellectual Property
except as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, an Otonomo Material Adverse Effect. Except as has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, an Otonomo Material
Adverse Effect, no third party has a joint ownership interest in or any exclusive rights that remain in effect in, and no third party has any “pick” right or other option to acquire ownership or exclusive rights in, including temporarily and
including any rights of first offer, negotiation or refusal with respect to, any Otonomo Intellectual Property.

(a) No default or event of default (however denominated) has occurred and is continuing under any Material Loan Agreement or any Loan Amendment.
(b) All representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the Company or any Company Subsidiary in the Loan Amendments or any other agreement, document or
instrument delivered in connection therewith are true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any “material adverse effect”, “materiality” or similar qualifications therein) on and as of the date made thereunder. As of the
Agreement Date, there are no fee letters or other agreements (except as set forth in the Loan Amendments, the Material Loan Agreements as in effect on the Agreement Date and the Agent Fee Letter (as defined in the Highbridge Loan Agreement as in
effect on the Agreement Date)) to pay fees with respect to any Material Loan Agreement. No contractual impediment exists to the early prepayment of either Material Loan Agreement. No contractual requirement shall require the early prepayment or

(whether written or oral) of any Default or Event of Default (in each case, as defined in the applicable Material Loan Agreement) under any Material Loan Agreement that has occurred and is continuing, nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, has any
such Default or Event of Default (in each case, as defined in the applicable Material Loan Agreement) been alleged by the counterparty or counterparties to such Material Loan Agreement to have occurred and be continuing.
(d) To the Knowledge of the Company, the Company has no reason to believe that the Material Loan Agreements prohibit or impede the consummation of the Merger and
other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or that any default or event of default (however denominated) under the Material Loan Agreements (in the case of the Highbridge Loan Agreement and the Structural Loan Agreement, as amended by the
Loan Amendments), would result therefrom.

Sub has relied, on, or otherwise has been induced by, any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other
Transaction Agreements, express or implied, or any other information provided or made available to the Company, Merger Sub or their respective Representatives in connection with the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the
other Transaction Documents, including any information, documents, projections, forecasts or other material made available in certain “data rooms” or management presentations, or the accuracy or completeness of any of the foregoing, except for the
representations and warranties in Article III. Such representations and warranties by Otonomo constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of Otonomo in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements,
the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, and the Company understands, acknowledges and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of Merger Sub, that all other representations and

any event no later than ten (10) Business Days from the Agreement Date submit a notification to the UK Secretary of State for approval of the Merger pursuant to the NSIA 2021 provided it has received all information from Otonomo that is required
under the NSIA 2021 (Prescribed Form and Content of Notices and Validation Applications) Regulations 2021 for the completion of such notification.
(c) Each of the parties to this Agreement agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to
assist and cooperate with the other parties to this Agreement in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by

registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Authorities, if any), (ii) the obtaining of all consents, approvals or waivers from third parties related to or required in connection with the Merger that are necessary to consummate
the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) the preparation of the Proxy Statement and the Registration Statement, (iv) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments reasonably necessary to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement, and (v) the providing of all such information concerning such party, its Subsidiaries, its Affiliates and its Subsidiaries’ and Affiliates’
officers, directors, employees and partners as may be reasonably requested in connection with any of the matters set forth in Section 5.5(a), Section 5.5(b) or this Section 5.5(c). Each of the Company and Xxxxxxx agrees that
it will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain prior to the Effective Time each of the consents that are listed in Schedule 5.5(c) of the Otonomo Disclosure Schedules. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the lessor or
licensor under any Otonomo Lease conditions its grant of a consent (including by threatening to exercise a “recapture” or other termination right) upon, or otherwise requires in response to a notice or consent request regarding this Agreement, the
payment of a consent fee, “profit sharing” payment or other consideration (including increased rent payments), or the provision of additional security (including a guaranty), Otonomo shall be solely responsible for making all such payments or
providing all such additional security and the terms thereof shall be subject to the Company’s approval.
75
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company and its Affiliates shall not be obligated to, or to commit that Otonomo or any of its Affiliates
would be obligated to, offer, propose, negotiate, agree to, consent to or effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, (i) the divestiture, transfer or other disposal of any businesses, operations, interests, product or service
lines or assets, (ii) any other action, including any conduct limitation or restriction, or (iii) any other remedy, commitment, condition, limitation, restriction or undertaking of any kind, and Otonomo and its Affiliates shall not make any such
commitment or undertake any such action without the Company’s written consent; provided, that the Company and its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent necessary in order to resolve any objections asserted under Competition Laws or Investment
Screening Laws by any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, be obligated to offer, propose, negotiate, agree to, consent to, or effect any action, remedy, commitment, condition, limitation,
restriction or undertaking other than those referenced in the foregoing clause (i), in each case, of clauses (ii) and (iii) that both are not material to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and are not material to the
expected benefits of the Merger.
(a) From and after the Agreement Date and until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1,
Otonomo shall not, nor shall it authorize or permit any Otonomo Subsidiary or any of its or their respective Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage, or take any other action designed to, or which
would reasonably be expected to, facilitate, any inquiry, proposal or other offer that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to an Otonomo Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into any agreement with respect to any Otonomo Acquisition
Proposal, (iii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or knowingly furnish to any Person any non-public information with respect to, or knowingly cooperate with, any inquiry, proposal or other
offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Otonomo Acquisition Proposal, (iv) waive or release any Person from, forbear in the enforcement of, or amend any confidentiality, standstill or similar Contract or any
confidentiality or standstill provisions of any other Contract, or (v) authorize or commit to do any of the foregoing. Otonomo shall, and shall cause each Otonomo Subsidiary and their respective Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be
terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any proposal that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Otonomo Acquisition Proposal and request the prompt return or
destruction of all confidential information previously furnished.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining Otonomo Shareholder Approval, in response to a bona fide written Otonomo Acquisition Proposal that
the Otonomo Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of U.S. nationally recognized reputation) constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Otonomo Superior Proposal, and which
Xxxxxxx Acquisition Proposal was not solicited after the Agreement Date in breach of Section 5.6(a), was made after the Agreement Date and did not otherwise result from a breach (other than an immaterial breach) of Section 5.6(a),
Otonomo may, if the Otonomo Board determines (after receiving the advice of outside counsel) that the failure to take such actions would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Israeli Law (provided, however,
that in order to determine the appropriate standards that would apply to such fiduciary duties, the Otonomo Board may also consider and act on the basis of the fiduciary duties owed by a board of directors to the shareholders of a company under
Delaware Law), and subject to compliance with Section 5.6(a) and Section 5.6(d) and after giving the Company written notice of such determination, (x) furnish information with respect to Xxxxxxx and the Otonomo Subsidiaries to the
Person making such Otonomo Acquisition Proposal (and its Representatives) pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement not less restrictive of such Person than the Confidentiality Agreement; provided, that (1) all such information has
previously been provided to the Company or is provided to the Company prior to the time it is provided to such Person and (2) such customary confidentiality agreement expressly provides the right for Otonomo to comply with the terms of this
Agreement, including Section 5.6(c), and (y) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Otonomo Acquisition Proposal (and its Representatives) regarding such Otonomo Acquisition Proposal. Without limiting the
foregoing, it is agreed that any violation (other than an immaterial violation) of the restrictions set forth in Section 5.6(a) by any Representative or Affiliate of Otonomo or any Otonomo Subsidiary shall be deemed to be a breach of Section 5.6(a)
by Xxxxxxx.
76
The term “Otonomo Acquisition Proposal” means any proposal, offer or indication of interest from any Person (other than a proposal or offer by the Company or any
Company Subsidiary) relating to any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase, in one (1) transaction or a series of transactions, of assets or businesses that constitute fifteen percent (15%) or more of the consolidated net revenues, net income,
or assets (based on the fair market value thereof) of Otonomo and the Otonomo Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or fifteen percent (15%) or more of any class of voting or equity securities of Otonomo, any tender offer or exchange offer or issuance of
voting or equity securities that if consummated would result in any Person beneficially owning fifteen percent (15%) or more of any class of voting or equity securities of Otonomo, or any merger, consolidation, business combination,
recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, joint venture, binding share exchange or similar transaction involving Otonomo or wholly owned Otonomo Subsidiary pursuant to which any Person or the stockholders of any Person would own fifteen percent
(15%) or more of any class of voting or equity securities of Otonomo or of the surviving company or of any resulting parent company of Otonomo under such transaction, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
The term “Otonomo Superior Proposal” means a bona fide Otonomo Acquisition Proposal (provided, that for purposes of this definition references to fifteen percent
(15%) in the definition of “Otonomo Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to be references to fifty percent (50%)) which the Otonomo Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of U.S. nationally
recognized reputation) to be (i) more favorable to the shareholders of Otonomo from a financial point of view than the Merger, taking into account all relevant factors (including all the terms and conditions of such proposal and this Agreement
(including any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by the Company in response to such offer or otherwise)) and (ii) reasonably capable of being completed, taking into account all financial, legal, regulatory and other aspects of such
proposal.
77
(c) Neither the Otonomo Board nor any committee thereof shall, (i) (A) withdraw (or qualify or modify in a manner adverse to the Company or Merger Sub), or publicly
propose to withdraw (or qualify or modify in a manner adverse to the Company or Merger Sub), the Otonomo Recommendation, (B) recommend, adopt, approve or declare advisable, or propose publicly to recommend, adopt, approve or declare advisable, any
Otonomo Acquisition Proposal, (C) if an Otonomo Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly announced or disclosed, fail to publicly reaffirm the Otonomo Recommendation within ten (10) Business Days after the Company so requests in writing (it
being understood that Xxxxxxx will not be obligated to affirm the Otonomo Recommendation on more than two (2) occasions), (D) make any recommendation or public statement in connection with a tender or exchange offer, or fail to recommend against
such offer within ten (10) Business Days of the commencement thereof pursuant to Rule 14d-2 of the Exchange Act, other than a recommendation against such offer or the issuance of a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Otonomo Board to
Otonomo’s shareholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any substantially similar communication); (E) fail to include the Otonomo Recommendation in the Proxy Statement or (F) resolve or publicly propose to take any
action described in the foregoing clauses (A) through (E) (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as an “Otonomo Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) adopt, approve, recommend or declare advisable, or propose to adopt,
approve, recommend or declare advisable, or allow Xxxxxxx to execute or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement,
partnership agreement or other similar agreement constituting or related to, or that is intended to or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Otonomo Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 5.6(a)
pursuant to and in accordance with the limitations set forth therein). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining Otonomo Shareholder Approval, the Otonomo Board may make an Otonomo Adverse Recommendation Change (1) following
receipt of a bona fide written Otonomo Acquisition Proposal after execution of this Agreement that did not result from a breach (other than an immaterial breach) of Section 5.6(a) and that the Otonomo Board determines in good faith (after
consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of U.S. nationally recognized reputation) constitutes an Otonomo Superior Proposal or (2) of the type described in clauses (A), (C), (E) and (F) (but clause (F) solely with respect to
clauses (A) (C) and (E)) thereof, in response to an Otonomo Intervening Event; in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (1) and (2), only if the Otonomo Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) that failure
to do so would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Israeli Law (provided, however, that in order to determine the appropriate standards that would apply to such fiduciary duties, the Otonomo
Board may also consider and act on the basis of the fiduciary duties owed by a board of directors to the shareholders of a company under Delaware Law); provided, however, that Otonomo shall not be entitled to exercise its right to
make an Otonomo Adverse Recommendation Change until after the fourth (4th) Business Day following the Company’s receipt of written notice (an “Otonomo Notice of Recommendation Change”) from Otonomo advising the Company that the
Otonomo Board intends to make an Otonomo Adverse Recommendation Change and specifying the reasons therefor, including (x) in the case of an Otonomo Superior Proposal the terms and conditions of any Otonomo Superior Proposal that is the basis of the
proposed action by the Otonomo Board (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to any material term of such Otonomo Superior Proposal shall require a new Otonomo Notice of Recommendation Change and a new three (3) Business Day period
during which Otonomo shall comply with the provisions of this Section 5.6(c)) and (y) in the case of an Otonomo Intervening Event, a description of the Otonomo Intervening Event in reasonable detail. In determining whether to make an
Otonomo Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with a written Otonomo Acquisition Proposal that constitutes an Otonomo Superior Proposal, the Otonomo Board shall (i) during the foregoing four (4) Business Day period negotiate with the Company
and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent that the Company requests to negotiate) to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements so that such Otonomo Acquisition Proposal would cease
to constitute an Otonomo Superior Proposal and permit the Company and its Representatives to make a presentation to the Otonomo Board regarding this Agreement and any adjustments with respect thereto (to the extent that the Company requests to make
such a presentation) and (ii) at the end of such four (4) Business Day period, in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of U.S. nationally recognized reputation) reaffirm its determination that such bona fide
written Otonomo Acquisition Proposal constitutes an Otonomo Superior Proposal. In determining whether to make an Otonomo Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with an Otonomo Intervening Event, the Otonomo Board shall (i) during the foregoing
four (4) Business Day period negotiate with the Company and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent that the Company requests to negotiate) to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Transaction
Agreements so that the failure to make an Otonomo Adverse Recommendation Change in response to such Otonomo Intervening Event would no longer reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Israeli Law, as determined in
good faith by the Otonomo Board (after consultation with outside counsel) (provided, however, that in order to determine the appropriate standards that would apply to such fiduciary duties, the Otonomo Board may also consider and
act on the basis of the fiduciary duties owed by a board of directors to the shareholders of a company under Delaware Law) and (ii) at the end of such four (4) Business Day period, in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) reaffirm
its determination that that the failure to make an Otonomo Adverse Recommendation Change would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Israeli Law (provided, however, that in order to determine the
appropriate standards that would apply to such fiduciary duties, the Otonomo Board may also consider and act on the basis of the fiduciary duties owed by a board of directors to the shareholders of a company under Delaware Law).
78
(d) In addition to the obligations of Otonomo set forth in Section 5.6(a) and 5.6(c), (i) Otonomo shall promptly advise the Company orally and in
writing (and in any case within forty-eight (48) hours) of the receipt of an Otonomo Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Otonomo Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of any such
Otonomo Acquisition Proposal or inquiry (including any changes thereto) and the identity of the Person making any such Otonomo Acquisition Proposal or inquiry and (ii) Otonomo shall (A) keep the Company fully and promptly informed of the status and
material details (including any change to any material term thereof) of any such Otonomo Acquisition Proposal or inquiry and (B) provide to the Company promptly after receipt or delivery thereof with copies of any written proposal and draft
documentation sent or provided to Otonomo or any Otonomo Subsidiary from any Person that describes any of the material terms or conditions of any Otonomo Acquisition Proposal or inquiry.
(e) Nothing contained in this Section 5.6 shall prohibit Xxxxxxx from taking and disclosing to its shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14(e)-2(a) or
Rule 14(d)-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any disclosure to Xxxxxxx’s shareholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Otonomo Board, after consultation with outside counsel, failure to so disclose would be reasonably
expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Israeli Law (provided, however, that in order to determine the appropriate standards that would apply to such fiduciary duties, the Otonomo Board may also consider and act
on the basis of the fiduciary duties owed by a board of directors to the shareholders of a company under Delaware Law); provided, however, that if any such disclosure pursuant to this Section 5.6(e) has the substantive
effect of withdrawing or adversely modifying the Otonomo Board’s recommendation to vote for the Merger, such disclosure shall be deemed to be an Otonomo Adverse Recommendation Change for purposes of this Agreement.
(a) From and after the Agreement Date and until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1, the
Company shall not, nor shall it authorize or permit any Company Subsidiary or any of its or their respective Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage, or take any other action designed to, or which
would reasonably be expected to, facilitate, any Company Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into any agreement with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal, (iii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations
regarding, or knowingly furnish to any Person any non-public information with respect to, or knowingly cooperate with, any proposal that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Company Acquisition Proposal or (iv) waive or
release any Person from, forbear in the enforcement of, or amend any confidentiality, standstill or similar Contract or any confidentiality or standstill provisions of any other Contract.

Subsidiary) relating to (i) any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase, in one (1) transaction or a series of transactions, of assets or businesses that constitute forty-nine percent (49%) or more of the consolidated net revenues, net income,
or assets (based on the fair market value thereof) of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or forty-nine percent (49%) or more of any class of voting or equity securities of the Company, (ii) any tender offer or exchange
offer or the issuance of voting or equity securities that if consummated would result in any Person beneficially owning forty-nine percent (49%) or more of any class of voting or equity securities of the Company, or (iii) any merger, amalgamation,
consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, joint venture, binding share exchange or similar transaction involving the Company or wholly owned Company Subsidiary pursuant to which any Person or the stockholders
of any Person would own forty-nine percent (49%) or more of any class of voting or equity securities of the Company or of the surviving company or of any resulting parent company of the Company under such transaction, other than the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that for purposes of Section 5.7(a)(ii), any reference in the definition of Company Acquisition Proposal to “forty-nine percent (49%)” shall be deemed to be a reference to “twenty percent
(20%).”
(b) In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in Section 5.7(a), (i) the Company shall promptly advise Otonomo orally and in writing (and in any
case within forty-eight (48) hours) of the receipt of any Company Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry that would reasonably be expected to lead to any Company Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of any such Company Acquisition
Proposal or inquiry (including any changes thereto) and the identity of the Person making any such Company Acquisition Proposal or inquiry and (ii) the Company shall (A) keep Otonomo fully and promptly informed of the status and material details
(including any change to any material term thereof) of any such Company Acquisition Proposal or inquiry and (B) provide to Otonomo promptly after receipt or delivery thereof with copies of any written proposal and draft documentation sent or
provided to the Company or any Company Subsidiary from any Person that describes any of the material terms or conditions of any Company Acquisition Proposal or inquiry.

purported Otonomo shareholder against Xxxxxxx, any Otonomo Subsidiary or any of their respective directors or officers relating to the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the Otonomo Voting Agreements (each of the
foregoing, an “Otonomo Shareholder Litigation Matter”), and shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a prompt (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours of any material development or update) and timely basis with respect to the
status thereof. Otonomo shall give the Company the opportunity to participate (at the Company’s expense) in (but not control) the defense or settlement of any such Otonomo Shareholder Litigation Matter and reasonably cooperate with the Company in
conducting the defense or settlement of such Otonomo Shareholder Litigation Matter, and no such settlement shall be agreed without the Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the
event of, and to the extent of, any conflict or overlap between the provisions of this Section 5.8(a) and Section 5.1, the provisions of this Section 5.8(a) shall control.
(b) The Company shall provide Otonomo prompt notice (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours) of any litigation brought by any Company stockholder or
purported Company stockholder against the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective directors or officers relating to the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the Otonomo Voting Agreements (each of the
foregoing, a “Company Stockholder Litigation Matter”), and shall keep Otonomo reasonably informed on a prompt (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours of any material development or update) and timely basis with respect to the status
thereof. The Company shall give Xxxxxxx the opportunity to participate (at Otonomo’s expense) in (but not control) the defense or settlement of any such Company Stockholder Litigation Matter and reasonably cooperate with Otonomo in conducting the
defense or settlement of such Company Stockholder Litigation Matter, and no such settlement shall be agreed without Xxxxxxx’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event of, and to
the extent of, any conflict or overlap between the provisions of this Section 5.8(b) and Section 5.2, the provisions of this Section 5.8(b) shall control.
(a) For not less than seven (7) years from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall, and the Company shall cause the Surviving Company to, indemnify
and hold harmless all past and present directors and officers of Otonomo and any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) to the same extent such Persons are entitled to indemnification as of the Agreement Date by
Otonomo pursuant to the Otonomo Organizational Documents and the Otonomo Subsidiaries Organizational Documents (as applicable) and indemnification agreements, if any, in existence as of the Agreement Date and disclosed to the Company in the Otonomo
Disclosure Schedules, with any directors or officers of Otonomo or any of its Subsidiaries from and against any costs, fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and investigation expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and amounts paid in settlement or compromise in connection with any Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent that such Action arises, directly or indirectly, out of or pertains, directly or indirectly, to (i)
acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time or (ii) the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (any such Action, an “Indemnified Party Action”).
Without limitation of the foregoing, the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries shall (and from and after the Effective Time, the Company shall cause the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to) honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations
of Otonomo and any Otonomo Subsidiaries under any and all indemnification agreements entered into prior to the Agreement Date between Otonomo or any Otonomo Subsidiary and any of their respective current or former directors and officers (to the
extent disclosed to the Company in the Otonomo Disclosure Schedules). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Indemnified Party notifies the Surviving Company on or prior to the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Effective Time of a
matter in respect of which such Indemnified Party intends in good faith to seek indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.9(a), the provisions of this Section 5.9(a) shall continue in effect with respect to such matter until the
final disposition of all claims, actions, investigations, suits and proceedings relating thereto. In connection with an Indemnified Party Action, (A) the Surviving Company will have the right to control the defense thereof after the Effective Time;
(B) upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party to repay any amount if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification, the Surviving Company will advance all fees
and expenses (including fees and expenses of any counsel) as incurred by such Indemnified Party in the defense of such Indemnified Party Action, whether or not the Surviving Company elects to control the defense of any such Indemnified Party
Action; and (C) no Indemnified Party will be liable for any settlement of such Indemnified Party Action effected without his or her prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, none of the Company the Surviving Company or any of their respective affiliates will settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, or otherwise seek the termination of, any Indemnified Party
Action unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of all Indemnified Parties from all liability arising out of such Indemnified Party Action. No Indemnified Party shall compromise, settle or consent
to an arrangement regarding, or agree to compromise, settle or consent to an arrangement regarding, any Indemnified Party Action for which indemnification is or will be sought under this Section 5.9(a) unless the Company has consented
thereto in writing and the Company and the Surviving Company shall not have any liability for any such compromise, settlement or arrangement effected without the Company’s prior written consent.
80
(b) Prior to the Effective Time, Xxxxxxx shall obtain at its expense one or more fully prepaid “tail” insurance policies for the extension of directors’ and officers’
liability coverage of Xxxxxxx’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies for a claims reporting or discovery period of seven (7) years from and after the Effective Time (the “Tail Period”) from one or more insurance carriers with
the same or better credit rating as Xxxxxxx’s insurance carrier as of the Agreement Date with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (the “D&O Insurance”) with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that
are at least as favorable to the insureds as Xxxxxxx’s existing policies with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby)
(collectively, the “Otonomo D&O Tail Policy”); provided, that in no event shall Otonomo pay premiums in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the annual amount paid by Otonomo for coverage during its current coverage period;
provided, further, that if the cost of such insurance coverage exceeds such amount, Otonomo shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount, and the Surviving Company and the Company
shall not cancel (or permit to be canceled) the Otonomo D&O Tail Policy during its term. The rights and obligations under Section 5.9(a) and this Section 5.9(b) shall survive consummation of the Merger and shall not be
terminated or amended in a manner that is adverse to any Indemnified Party without the written consent of such Indemnified Parties. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Indemnified Parties shall be third party beneficiaries of Section
5.9(a) and this Section 5.9(b), each of whom may enforce the provisions hereof.
(c) During the Tail Period, without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to, (i) maintain provisions
in the Company Organizational Documents and organizational documents of the Surviving Company and any of their respective Subsidiaries concerning the indemnification and exculpation (including provisions relating to expense advancement) of any
present or future officer or director of the Company, the Surviving Company and any of their Subsidiaries that are no less favorable to such indemnified parties than the provisions of such organizational documents as of the Agreement Date and (ii)
not amend, restate, repeal or otherwise modify such provisions in any respect that would adversely affect the rights of such indemnified parties thereunder, in each case, except as required by Law.
(d) If the Company or the Surviving Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate or amalgamate with or merge into any other Person
and shall not be the continuing or surviving Person of such consolidation, amalgamation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be
made so that the successors and assigns of the Company or the Surviving Company (as applicable) shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.9.
(e) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain D&O Insurance that shall be effective as of Closing and will cover those
Persons who will be the directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including the Otonomo Representatives) at and after the Closing on such terms as shall be determined by the Company in its reasonable discretion.
81
Section 5.10 Public Announcements. The initial press release shall be a joint press release and thereafter Otonomo and the
Company each shall obtain the prior written consent of the other prior to issuing any press releases or making other public statements and communications with respect to the Merger, the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as
may be required by Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with, or rules of, Nasdaq in which case, each party shall provide drafts in advance of and as soon as reasonably practicable. In addition, Xxxxxxx and the Company shall
develop a joint communications strategy and each party shall ensure that all press releases and other public statements and communications (including any communications that would require a filing under the Rule 425, Rule 165 and Rule 166 of the
Securities Act or Rule 14a-12 of the Exchange Act), with analysts, members of the financial community or otherwise, with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, shall be consistent in all material respects
with such joint communications strategy.
(a) As promptly as practicable following the Agreement Date, the Company and Xxxxxxx shall prepare and file with the SEC a proxy statement relating to the Otonomo
Shareholder Approval (such proxy statement, as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Proxy Statement”), and the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 together with all amendments thereto,
(the “Registration Statement”), in which the Proxy Statement will be included as a prospectus. Each of the Company and Otonomo shall use its reasonable best efforts to initially confidentially submit the Registration Statement by February
14, 2023 and to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing. Otonomo will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to Xxxxxxx’s
shareholders as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement will be made by the Company or
Otonomo without the other party’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and without providing the other party the opportunity to review and comment thereon (which comments will be considered in good faith). The
Company will advise Otonomo, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, the issuance of any stop order, or the suspension of the
qualification of the shares of Common Stock or Assumed Company Warrants issuable in connection with the Merger and the Share Issuance for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, and each party will advise the other promptly of any request by the SEC
for amendment of the Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information and shall comply with Annex B with respect to any such responses or requests. If
at any time prior to the Effective Time any information (including any Otonomo Adverse Recommendation Change) relating to the Company or Otonomo, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, should become Known to the Company or
Otonomo which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to either of the Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement, so that any of such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and an appropriate amendment or supplement
describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Law, disseminated to the shareholders of Otonomo.

not rely on the failure of any condition set forth in this Article VI to be satisfied if such failure was proximately caused by Xxxxxxx’s failure to use reasonable best efforts to cause the Closing to occur, as required by Section 5.5.
92
ARTICLE VII
TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER
TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER
Section 7.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Merger may be abandoned at any time prior to the
Effective Time, whether before or after receipt of the Otonomo Shareholder Approval:
(a) by mutual written consent of the Company and Otonomo;
(b) by either the Company or Otonomo:
(i) if the Merger shall not have been consummated by 11:59 p.m. in New York City on September 30, 2023 (the “Outside Date”); provided,
however, that if on the September 30, 2023, all of the conditions in Article VI other than Section 6.1(h)(ii) have been satisfied (other than conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied on the Closing Date), or have
been waived by the Company and Merger Sub and Otonomo, as applicable, then the Outside Date shall automatically be extended to October 31, 2023, provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(b)(i)
shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement in any material respect has been the primary cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Merger to be consummated on or by such
date; provided, that, if as of such date all conditions set forth in Article VI (other than the condition set forth in Section 6.1(l)) have been satisfied or waived, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended until the
date that is two (2) Business Days following the final determination of the Exchange Ratio in accordance with Section 5.24;
(ii) if the Otonomo Shareholder Approval shall not have been obtained at the Otonomo Shareholders’ Meeting duly convened therefor or at any
adjournment or postponement thereof at which a proper vote on such matters was taken; provided, however, that the right to terminate under this Section 7.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to Otonomo where the failure to obtain
Otonomo Shareholder Approval shall have been caused by or related to Otonomo’s material breach of the Agreement; or
(iii) if any applicable Law or Governmental Order prohibiting, preventing, restraining or making illegal the consummation of the Merger or the
other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be in effect and shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(b)(iii) shall
not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement in any material respect has been the primary cause of, or resulted in, the entry, enactment, promulgation, enforcement or issuance of such
applicable Law or Governmental Order;
(c) by the Company:
(i) if Otonomo shall have breached or failed to perform any of its covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement or any of the
representations and warranties of Otonomo shall have become inaccurate, in either case, in a manner that (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.2(a), Section 6.2(b) or Section 6.2(c) and
(ii) is incapable of being cured, or is not cured, by Otonomo by the earlier of (x) (30) days following written notice to Otonomo by the Company of such breach or (y) the Business Day prior to the Outside Date; provided, that the Company
shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(c)(i) if the Company is then in breach of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, or any of the representations and warranties of the
Company in this Agreement shall have become inaccurate, in either case in a manner that would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.3(a), Section 6.3(b) or Section 6.3(c);
(ii) at any time prior to obtaining the Otonomo Shareholder Approval, upon an Otonomo Adverse Recommendation Change; or
(iii) at any time prior to obtaining the Otonomo Shareholder Approval, if Xxxxxxx shall have materially breached any of the provisions of Section 5.6
or Section 5.11(c).
(d) by Xxxxxxx:
(i) if the Company or Merger Sub shall have breached or failed to perform any of its covenants or other agreements contained in this
Agreement, or any of the representations and warranties of the Company or Merger Sub shall have become inaccurate, in either case, in a manner that (1) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.3(a), Section
6.3(b) or Section 6.3(c) and (2) is incapable of being cured, or is not cured, by the Company by the earlier of (x) (30) days following written notice to the Company by Xxxxxxx of such breach or (y) the Business Day prior to the
Outside Date; provided, that Otonomo shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(d)(i) if Otonomo is then in breach of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, or any of
the representations and warranties of Otonomo in this Agreement shall have become inaccurate, in either case in a manner that would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.2(a), Section 6.2(b) or Section
6.2(c);
93
(ii) at any time prior to obtaining the Otonomo Shareholder Approval, in order to enter into a definitive agreement providing for an Otonomo
Superior Proposal substantially concurrently with the termination of this Agreement; provided, that (x) Xxxxxxx has complied with the terms of Section 5.6 (other than an immaterial breach) and (y) substantially concurrently with or
prior to (and as a condition to) the termination of this Agreement, Otonomo pays to the Company the Otonomo Termination Fee; or
(iii) if the audited consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit
and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 are not completed by May 15, 2023; provided, that Otonomo shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(d)(iii)
if Otonomo is then in breach of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, or any of the representations and warranties of Otonomo in this Agreement shall have become inaccurate, in either case in a manner that would give rise
to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.2(a), Section 6.2(b) or Section 6.2(c).
(iv) if the Company Stockholder Consent has not been obtained within three (3) Business Days after Agreement Date; provided, that Xxxxxxx’s
termination right under this Section 7.1(d)(iv) shall automatically expire and be null and void upon the obtainment of the Stockholder Consent.
(a) In the event of the valid termination of this Agreement by either the Company or Otonomo pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, written notice thereof shall
forthwith be given to the other party or parties specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made and this Agreement shall forthwith be terminated and have no further effect, the obligations of the parties hereunder shall
terminate, and there shall be no liability on the part of any party hereto with respect thereto, except that (i) the Confidentiality Agreement, the provisions of this Section 7.2 and Article VIII shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability or damages for any fraud or willful and material breach hereof.
(b) Otonomo Termination Fees.
(i) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Otonomo or the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(ii), then Otonomo shall pay
the Company a fee equal to $1,500,000 (the “Otonomo Partial Termination Fee”).
(ii) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by (1) the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(ii), (2) the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(iii),
(3) Otonomo pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii), or (4) Otonomo or the Company, as applicable, pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i), Section 7.1(b)(ii) or Section 7.1(c)(i), so long as, in the case of this clause (4), (A) prior
to the termination of this Agreement, any Person makes an Otonomo Acquisition Proposal, amends an Otonomo Acquisition Proposal made prior to the Agreement Date or makes any public statement regarding an intention to make an Otonomo Acquisition
Proposal, in each case, that is not withdrawn at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Otonomo Shareholders’ Meeting; and (B) within twelve (12) months after such termination Otonomo enters into a definitive agreement to consummate (which is
consummated, whether or not within or after the twelve (12) month period), or consummates, any Otonomo Acquisition Proposal (regardless of whether made before or after the termination of this Agreement); provided, that for purposes of this
Section 7.2(b), the references to fifteen percent (15%) in the definition of Otonomo Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be fifty percent (50%), then, in each case, Otonomo shall pay the Company a fee equal to $3,000,000 (the “Otonomo
Termination Fee”), less the Otonomo Partial Termination Fee, to the extent previously paid.
94
(iii) The payment of the Otonomo Partial Termination Fee or the Otonomo Termination Fee, as applicable, shall be made by wire transfer of
same-day funds to an account designated in writing by the Company (which account shall be designated by the Company upon written request by Xxxxxxx to allow Xxxxxxx to pay or cause to be paid to the Company any amounts payable hereunder within the
time periods required by this Section 7.2). The Otonomo Partial Termination Fee or the Otonomo Termination Fee, as applicable, shall be paid to the Company without any deduction or withholding for Taxes, unless otherwise required under
applicable Law, provided, that if any amount is deducted or withheld then such Otonomo Partial Termination Fee or the Otonomo Termination Fee, as applicable, will be increased by an amount that will ensure the Company receives and retains a
net sum equal to the sum it would have received if such payment had not been subject to such Tax withholding.
(iv) In the case the Otonomo Partial Termination Fee or the Otonomo Termination Fee, as applicable, is due pursuant to this Section 7.2(b),
and in the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company, Otonomo shall pay the Otonomo Partial Termination Fee or the Otonomo Termination Fee, as applicable, within two (2) Business Days after such termination of the Agreement. In the
case the Otonomo Partial Termination Fee or the Otonomo Termination Fee, as applicable, is due pursuant to this Section 7.2(b), and in the event that this Agreement is terminated by Otonomo, Otonomo shall pay the Otonomo Partial Termination
Fee or the Otonomo Termination Fee, as applicable, prior to or substantially concurrently with, and as a condition to, the termination of the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Otonomo be obligated to pay the Otonomo Partial
Termination Fee or the Otonomo Termination Fee on more than one occasion, provided, however, that Otonomo may be obligated to pay the Otonomo Partial Termination Fee in the case set forth in Section 7.2(b)(i) and
subsequently be obligated to pay the Otonomo Termination Fee less the Otonomo Partial Termination Fee, to the extent previously paid in the case set forth in Section 7.2(b)(ii)(5). Otonomo acknowledges that the agreements contained in this
Section 7.2(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the Company would not enter into this Agreement. Otonomo further acknowledges that the Otonomo Partial Termination
Fee and the Otonomo Termination Fee are not penalties, but rather are liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Company and Merger Sub in the circumstances in which the Otonomo Partial Termination Fee or the Otonomo
Termination Fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
Accordingly, if Otonomo fails promptly to pay the amount(s) due pursuant to this Section 7.2(b), and, to obtain such payment, the Company commences a suit which results in a judgment against Xxxxxxx for the amount(s) due pursuant to this Section 7.2(b),
Otonomo shall pay to the Company its out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on such amount(s) at the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in effect on the
date such payment was required to be made.
(c) The parties agree that (i) the specific performance remedies set forth in Section 8.13 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Otonomo and its
Subsidiaries against the Company and its Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current or future directors, officers, stockholders, Representatives or affiliates for any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Merger or any other
transaction contemplated hereby to be consummated, except in the case of fraud or willful breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation, and upon payment of such amount, none of the Company and its Subsidiaries or any of their respective former,
current or future directors, officers, general or limited partners, stockholders, managers, members, Representatives or affiliates shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby, except for the liability of the Company in the case of fraud or willful breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation; and (ii) the specific performance remedies set forth in Section 8.13 and the monetary remedies set
forth in this Section 7.2 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Company and its Subsidiaries against Otonomo and its Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current or future directors, officers, shareholders,
Representatives or affiliates for any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Merger or any other transaction contemplated hereby to be consummated, except in the case of fraud or willful breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation (in
which case only Otonomo shall be liable for damages for such fraud or willful breach), and upon payment of such amount, none of Otonomo and its Subsidiaries or any of their respective former, current or future directors, officers, general or
limited partners, shareholders, managers, members, Representatives or affiliates shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, except for the liability of
Xxxxxxx in the case of fraud or willful breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation.
95
(d) For the avoidance of doubt, while the Company and Merger Sub may pursue both a grant of specific performance of Xxxxxxx’s obligations to consummate the Merger or
the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.13 and the payment of the Otonomo Partial Termination Fee or the Otonomo Termination Fee under this Section 7.2, under no circumstances shall the
Company and Merger Sub be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of such performance requiring Otonomo to consummate the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to pay the Otonomo Partial Termination Fee or the
Otonomo Termination Fee (if entitled under this Section 7.2).
Section 7.3 Amendments. Subject to compliance with applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended by the parties, by
action taken or authorized by their respective boards of directors, at any time before or after approval of the matters presented in connection with the Merger by the stockholders of the Company and the shareholders of Otonomo; provided, however,
that after any approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company and the shareholders of Otonomo, there may not be, without further approval of such stockholders or shareholders, as applicable, any
amendment of this Agreement that by applicable Law requires the further approval of such stockholders or shareholders, as applicable. No amendment shall be made to this Agreement after the Effective Time. This Agreement may not be amended except by
an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties.
Section 7.4 Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after the Otonomo Shareholders’ Meeting,
any party hereto may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the covenants, obligations or other acts of any other party hereto or (ii) waive any inaccuracy of any representations or warranties or compliance with any of the agreements,
covenants or conditions of any other party or with any conditions to its own obligations. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of
such party by its duly authorized officer. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights. The waiver of any such right with respect to
particular facts and other circumstances shall not be deemed a waiver with respect to any other facts and circumstances and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time.
ARTICLE VIII
GENERAL PROVISIONS
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 8.1 Nonsurvival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations and warranties in this Agreement or
in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time. This Section 8.1 shall not limit the survival of any covenant or agreement of the parties in the Agreement which by its terms contemplates performance
after the Effective Time, including, for the avoidance doubt, all of the covenants in Section 5.16 and Annex B.

Section 8.3 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section or Exhibit, such reference
shall be to an Article or Section of, or an Exhibit to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without
limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Unless the context of this Agreement
otherwise requires, the words “neither,” “nor,” “any,” “either” and “or” are not exclusive. The phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and does not simply mean “if.” When used in this Agreement,
references to “$” or “Dollars” are references to United States dollars. All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined
therein. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Any agreement, instrument or statute
defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by
waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. References to a Person are also to its permitted successors and
assigns. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Agreement to the Subsidiaries of a Person will be deemed to include all direct and indirect Subsidiaries of such Person. Where this Agreement refers to information that was
“made available”, that means that such information was either (a) provided directly to the Company or Otonomo, as applicable, by the other party, with confirmation of receipt, (b) included in the virtual data rooms established by the Company and
Otonomo created for the purposes of providing information to the other party in connection with this Agreement at least three (3) Business Days prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement or (iii) solely with respect to information made
available by Otonomo, filed with and publicly available on the SEC’s XXXXX system during calendar year 2022 or calendar year 2023, but prior to the Agreement Date.
Section 8.4 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of
which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to
this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement (including any of the closing deliverables contemplated hereby) by electronic means, including docusign, e-mail, or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart
to this Agreement or any such Transaction Agreement.
Section 8.5 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements
(including the Confidentiality Agreement and the documents and instruments referred to herein or therein) (a) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and (b) except for the provisions of Section 5.9, is not intended to confer, nor shall it confer, upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies or benefits of any
nature whatsoever.
98
Section 8.6 Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims, causes of action (whether in contract, tort or statute) or
other matter that may result from, arise out of, be in connection with or relating to this Agreement, the Transaction Agreements (in each case, other than Transaction Agreements that expressly select a different governing law), or the
negotiation, administration, performance, or enforcement of this Agreement or any Transaction Agreements (in each case, other than Transaction Agreements that expressly select a different governing law), including any claim or cause of action
resulting from, arising out of, in connection with, or relating to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement (in each case, other than Transaction Agreements that expressly select a
different governing law) (collectively, the “Relevant Matters”), shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of
conflict of Laws thereof except that the provisions related to the Israeli Securities Law, the fiduciary and other duties of Xxxxxxx’s directors, the procedures for implementing, and effects of, the Merger, and all other provisions of, or
transactions contemplated by, this Agreement that are expressly required to be governed by the Laws of the State of Israel (collectively, the “Israeli Law Matters”) shall be governed by such Laws.
Section 8.7 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement
shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by either of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other party. Any assignment in violation of the preceding sentence shall be void. Subject to the
preceding two sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
Section 8.8 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally (a) consents to submit
itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, if (and only if) such court finds it lacks jurisdiction, any federal court located in the State of Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof, in
connection with any Relevant Matter, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to any Relevant
Matter in any court other than the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware, or if (and only if) such court finds it lacks jurisdiction, any federal court located in the State of Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof and (d)
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in such court; provided, that with respect to any Israeli Law Matters, each of the parties hereto (x)
consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the courts of Tel-Aviv, Israel, and (y) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court. Each of the
parties agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law. Each party irrevocably consents to
service of process inside or outside the territorial jurisdiction of the courts referred to in this Section 8.8 in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.2. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to
serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.

agreement or arrangement, in each case, to which the Shareholder has not previously consented, that would have the effect of amending or modifying the Merger Agreement to be less favorable in any material respect to the Shareholder than the

Agreement by the Company, and that the Proxy will secure the performance of the Shareholder’s duties under this Agreement.

Shareholder shall have any rights or obligations hereunder and this Agreement shall become null and void and have no effect upon the earliest to occur of: (a) a written agreement between the Company, Otonomo and the Shareholder to terminate
this Agreement; (b) the Effective Time; (c) the date of any modification or amendment to the terms of the Merger Agreement that is effected without the Shareholder’s prior written consent that would cause the Merger Agreement, as amended, to

Otonomo in their capacities as such); and (d) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms. The termination of this Agreement shall not prevent a party hereto from seeking any remedies (at law or in equity) against

agreement executed by the parties hereto. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any

Section 8.6 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect
in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
B - 12
Section 8.7 Severability. If any term, condition or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect insofar as the
foregoing can be accomplished without materially affecting the economic benefits anticipated by the parties hereto or the legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby. Upon such determination that any term, condition or other
provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
Section 8.8 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries; Assignment.
(a) This Agreement, together with the Merger Agreement (a) constitutes the entire agreement between the Company, Otonomo and the Shareholder, with respect to the subject matter
hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Company, Xxxxxxx and the Shareholder with respect to the subject matter hereof and (b) is not intended to confer, nor shall it confer, upon any
Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies or benefits of any nature whatsoever.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by either of
the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other party. Any assignment in violation of the preceding sentence shall be void. Subject to the preceding two sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit
of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
Section 8.9 Confidentiality. Except to the extent required by applicable Law or regulation, the Shareholder shall hold any non-public
information regarding this Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the Merger in strict confidence and shall not divulge any such information to any third person until the Company has publicly disclosed its entry into the Merger Agreement and
this Agreement; provided, however, that the Shareholder may disclose such information to its Affiliates, partners, members, stockholders, parents, subsidiaries, attorneys, accountants, consultants, trustees, beneficiaries and other
representatives (provided that such Persons are subject to confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those contained herein). Neither the Shareholder nor any of its Affiliates shall issue or cause the publication of any press
release or other public announcement with respect to this Agreement, the Merger, the Merger Agreement or the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby without the prior written consent of the Company and Otonomo, except (a) as may be
required by applicable Law in which circumstance such announcing party shall make reasonable efforts to consult with the Company and Otonomo to the extent practicable or (b) for any amendments to the Schedule 13D of the Shareholder required
by virtue of this Agreement.
B - 13
Section 8.10 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, a Section or Schedule, such
reference shall be to an Article of, a Section of or Schedule to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words
“without limitation”. The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Unless the context of
this Agreement otherwise requires, the words “neither,” “nor,” “any,” “either” and “or” are not exclusive. The phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and does not simply mean “if”. The definitions
contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to
herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent
and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. References to a Person are also to its permitted successors. The parties hereto have
participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption
or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Person by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Whenever the last day for the exercise of any right or the discharge of any duty under this Agreement falls on
a day other than a business day, the party having such right or duty shall have until the next business day to exercise such right or discharge such duty.
Section 8.11 Governing Law. This Agreement and the Relevant Matters shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflict of Laws thereof, except that the Israeli Law Matters shall be governed by the Laws of the State of
Israel.
Section 8.12 Specific Performance; Submission to Jurisdiction.
(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages (even if available) would not be an adequate remedy, would occur and that the parties would not have any
adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement (including failure to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) were not performed in
accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or remedy any breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to
enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case in accordance with Section 8.12(b), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The parties’ rights in this Section
8.12 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and each party hereby waives any objections to any remedy referred to in this Section 8.12 (including any objection on the basis that there is an adequate remedy
at Law or that an award of such remedy is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity). In the event any party seeks any remedy referred to in this Section 8.12, such party shall not be required to obtain, furnish, post
or provide any bond or other security in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any such remedy.
B - 14
(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, if
(and only if) such court finds it lacks jurisdiction, any federal court located in the State of Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof, in connection with any Relevant Matter, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat
such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to any Relevant Matter in any court other than the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware, or if
(and only if) such court finds it lacks jurisdiction, any federal court located in the State of Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof and (d) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to
the maintenance of such action or proceeding in such court; provided, that with respect to any Israeli Law Matters, each of the parties hereto (x) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the courts of Tel-Aviv,
Israel, and (y) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court. Each of the parties agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law. Each party irrevocably consents to service of process inside or outside the territorial jurisdiction of the
courts referred to in this Section 8.12 in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.5. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.
Section 8.13 Waiver of Jury
Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER
RELEVANT MATTER. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) 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 SUCH
WAIVERS, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN
THIS SECTION 8.13.
Section 8.14 No Partnership, Agency or Joint Venture. This Agreement is intended to create a contractual relationship
between the Company, Xxxxxxx and the Shareholder and is not intended to create, and does not create, any agency, partnership, joint venture or any like relationship between the parties hereto.
Section 8.15 No Agreement Until Executed. This Agreement shall not be effective unless and until the Merger Agreement is executed and
delivered by all parties thereto.
Section 8.16 Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties. The respective representations and warranties of the Company, Xxxxxxx and
the Shareholder contained herein shall not survive the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Merger Agreement.
Section 8.17 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by electronic means, including docusign, e-mail, or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

the Company in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL.

DGCL.
ARTICLE IV
Section 1. The Company is authorized to issue two classes of stock, to be designated, respectively, Common Stock and Preferred Stock. The total number of shares of
stock that the Company shall have authority to issue is 1,100,000,000 shares, of which 1,000,000,000 shares are Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 100,000,000 shares are Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share.
Section 2. Each share of Common Stock outstanding as of the applicable record date shall entitle the holder thereof to one (1) vote on any matter submitted to a
vote at a meeting of stockholders.
C - 1
Section 3. The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series pursuant to a resolution or resolutions providing for such issue duly adopted by
the Board of Directors (authority to do so being hereby expressly vested in the Board of Directors). The Board of Directors is further authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, to fix by resolution or resolutions the
designations, powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of any series of Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, authority to fix by resolution or resolutions the dividend rights,
dividend rate, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, and liquidation preferences of any such series, and the number of shares constituting any such
series and the designation thereof, or any of the foregoing. The Board of Directors is further authorized to increase (but not above the total number of authorized shares of the class) or decrease (but not below the number of shares of any such
series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series, subject to the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof stated in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the
resolution of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares of such series. Except as may be otherwise specified by the terms of any series of Preferred Stock, if the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock is so
decreased, then the Company shall take all such steps as are necessary to cause the shares constituting such decrease to resume the status which they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such
series.
Section 4. Except as otherwise required by law or provided in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled
to vote on any amendment to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series
of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon by law or pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation (including any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock).
Section 5. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then
outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote thereon, without a separate vote of the holders of the class or classes
the number of authorized shares of which are being increased or decreased, unless a vote of any holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock is required pursuant to the terms of any certificate of designation relating to any series of
Preferred Stock, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.
ARTICLE V
Section 1. Subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock, the number of directors that constitutes the entire Board of Directors of the Company shall be fixed
only by resolution of the Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board. For the purposes of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the term “Whole
Board” shall mean the total number of authorized directorships whether or not there exist any vacancies or other unfilled seats in previously authorized directorships. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors of the Company
shall be elected to hold office until the expiration of the term for which they are elected and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal; except that if any such meeting shall not
be so held, such election shall take place at a stockholders’ meeting called and held in accordance with the DGCL.
Section 2. From and after the effectiveness of the filing of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Effective
Time”), the directors of the Company (other than any who may be elected by holders of Preferred Stock under specified circumstances) shall be divided into three classes as nearly equal in size as is practicable, hereby designated Class
I, Class II and Class III. Directors already in office shall be assigned to each class at the time such classification becomes effective in accordance with a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors. At the first annual
meeting of stockholders following the Effective Time, the term of office of the Class I directors shall expire and Class I directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the second annual meeting of stockholders following the
Effective Time, the term of office of the Class II directors shall expire and Class II directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the third annual meeting of stockholders following the Effective Time, the term of office of
the Class III directors shall expire and Class III directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors shall be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors
of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting. If the number of directors is changed, any newly created directorships or decrease in directorships shall be so apportioned hereafter among the classes as to make all classes as nearly
equal in number as is practicable, provided that no decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.
C - 2
ARTICLE VI
Section 1. From and after the Effective Time, only for so long as the Board of Directors is classified and subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock, any
director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause, and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the
Company entitled to vote in the election of directors.
Section 2. Except as otherwise provided for or fixed by or pursuant to the provisions of ARTICLE IV hereof in relation to the rights of the holders of Preferred
Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances or except as otherwise provided by resolution of a majority of the Whole Board, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors, created in accordance
with the Bylaws of the Company, and any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause shall be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then
in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, or by a sole remaining director, and not by the stockholders. A person so elected by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship shall hold office
until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen and until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the
number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.
ARTICLE VII
Section 1. The Company is to have perpetual existence.
Section 2. The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. In addition to the powers and authority
expressly conferred upon them by statute or by this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be
exercised or done by the Company.
Section 3. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, alter, amend or repeal
the Bylaws of the Company. The affirmative vote of at least a majority of the Whole Board shall be required in order for the Board of Directors to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Company’s Bylaws. The Company’s Bylaws may also be adopted,
amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders of the Company. Notwithstanding the above or any other provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws of the Company may not be amended, altered or repealed by
the stockholders of the Company except in accordance with the provisions of the Bylaws relating to amendments to the Bylaws. No Bylaw hereafter legally adopted, amended, altered or repealed shall invalidate any prior act of the directors or
officers of the Company that would have been valid if such Bylaw had not been adopted, amended, altered or repealed.
C - 3
Section 4. The election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the Company shall so provide.
Section 5. No stockholder will be permitted to cumulate votes at any election of directors.
ARTICLE VIII
Section 1. From the date of filing of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock, any action
required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Company must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.
Section 2. Subject to the terms of any series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of stockholders of the Company may be called only by the Chairperson of the Board
of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board, but a special meeting may not be called by any other person or persons and any power of
stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders is specifically denied. Only such business shall be considered at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been stated in the notice for such meeting.
Section 3. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the
stockholders of the Company shall be given in the manner and to the extent provided in the Bylaws of the Company.
ARTICLE IX
Section 1. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as the same exists or as may hereafter be amended from time to time, a director or officer of the Company
shall not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer. If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of directors or officers, then the liability of a director or officer of the Company shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.
Section 2. Subject to any provisions in the Bylaws of the Company related to indemnification of directors of the Company, the Company shall indemnify, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any director of the Company who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or

BYLAWS OF XXXXXX.XX INC.
ARTICLE I - CORPORATE OFFICES
1.1 REGISTERED OFFICE
The registered office of Xxxxxx.xx Inc. (the “Company”) shall be fixed in the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as the same
may be amended from time to time.
1.2 OTHER OFFICES
The Company may at any time establish other offices.
ARTICLE II - MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
2.1 PLACE OF MEETINGS
Meetings of stockholders shall be held at a place, if any, within or outside the State of Delaware, determined by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”). The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote
communication as authorized by Section 211(a)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law or any successor legislation (the “DGCL”). In the absence of any such designation or determination, stockholders’
meetings shall be held at the Company’s principal executive office.
2.2 ANNUAL MEETING
The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held each year. The Board of Directors shall designate the date and time of the annual meeting. At the annual meeting, directors
shall be elected and any other proper business, brought in accordance with Section 2.4 of these bylaws, may be transacted. The Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board may cancel, postpone or
reschedule any previously scheduled annual meeting at any time, before or after the notice for such meeting has been sent to the stockholders. For the purposes of these bylaws, the term “Whole Board”
shall mean the total number of authorized directorships whether or not there exist any vacancies or other unfilled seats in previously authorized directorships.
2.3 SPECIAL MEETING
(a) A special meeting of the stockholders, other than as required by statute, may be called at any time by (i) the Board of Directors acting pursuant to a
resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board, (ii) the chairperson of the Board of Directors, (iii) the chief executive officer or (iv) the president, but a special meeting may not be called by any other person or persons and any power
of stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders is specifically denied. The Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board may cancel, postpone or reschedule any previously scheduled
special meeting at any time, before or after the notice for such meeting has been sent to the stockholders.
D - 1
(b) The notice of a special meeting shall include the purpose for which the meeting is called. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of
stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting by or at the direction of a majority of the Whole Board, the chairperson of the Board of Directors, the chief executive officer or the president. Nothing contained in this
Section 2.3(b) shall be construed as limiting, fixing or affecting the time when a meeting of stockholders called by action of the Board of Directors may be held.
2.4 ADVANCE NOTICE PROCEDURES
(a) Annual Meetings of Stockholders.
(i) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors or the proposal of other business to be transacted by the stockholders at an annual meeting of
stockholders may be made only (1) pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto); (2) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof that has been formally delegated authority to nominate
such persons or propose such business pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board; (3) as may be provided in the certificate of designations for any class or series of preferred stock; or (4) by any stockholder of the
Company who (A) is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of the notice contemplated by Section 2.4(a)(ii); (B) is a stockholder of record on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of the annual
meeting; (C) is a stockholder of record on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting; (D) is a stockholder of record at the time of the annual meeting; and (E) complies with the procedures
set forth in this Section 2.4(a).
(ii) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting of stockholders by a stockholder pursuant to clause (4) of
Section 2.4(a)(i), the stockholder must have given timely notice in writing to the secretary of the Company (the “Secretary”) and any such nomination or proposed business must constitute a proper matter
for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company no earlier than 8:00 a.m., Eastern time, on the 120th day and no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern
time, on the 90th day prior to the day of the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders as first specified in the Company’s notice of such annual meeting (without regard to any adjournment, rescheduling,
postponement or other delay of such annual meeting occurring after such notice was first sent). However, if no annual meeting of stockholders was held in the preceding year, or if the date of the annual meeting for the current year has been
changed by more than 25 days from the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, then to be timely such notice must be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company no earlier than 8:00 a.m.,
Eastern time, on the 120th day prior to the day of the annual meeting and no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the later of the 90th day prior to the day of the annual meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such
annual meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was first made by the Company. In no event will the adjournment,
rescheduling, postponement or other delay of any annual meeting, or any announcement thereof, commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. In no event may a stockholder
provide notice with respect to a greater number of director candidates than there are director seats subject to election by stockholders at the annual meeting. If the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased
and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least 10 days before the last day that a stockholder may deliver a notice of nomination pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, then a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 2.4(a)(ii) will also be considered timely, but only with respect to any nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it is received by the Secretary at
the principal executive offices of the Company no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made. “Public announcement” means
disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13,
Section 14 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended and inclusive of rules and regulations thereunder, the “1934 Act”) or by such other means as is reasonably designed to
inform the public or stockholders of the Company in general of such information, including, without limitation, posting on the Company’s investor relations website.

(F) a description of any other material relationships between such person and such person’s respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert with
them, on the one hand, and such stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made, and their respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert with them, on the other hand,

and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such nomination or other business before the annual meeting;
(N) a representation and undertaking as to whether such stockholder, such beneficial owner or their respective affiliates or associates or others acting in
concert with them intends, or is part of a group that intends, to (x) deliver a proxy statement or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the voting power of the Company’s then-outstanding stock required to approve or adopt
the proposal or to elect each such nominee (which representation and undertaking must include a statement as to whether such stockholder, such beneficial owner or their respective affiliates or associates or others acting in concert with them
intends to solicit the requisite percentage of the voting power of the Company’s stock under Rule 00x‑00 xx xxx 0000 Xxx); or (y) otherwise solicit proxies from stockholders in support of such proposal or nomination;
(O) any other information relating to such stockholder, such beneficial owner or their respective affiliates or associates or others acting in concert with them,
or director nominee or proposed business, that, in each case, would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with the solicitation of proxies in support of such nominee (in a contested
election of directors) or proposal pursuant to Section 14 of the 1934 Act; and
(P) such other information relating to any proposed item of business as the Company may reasonably require to determine whether such proposed item of business is
a proper matter for stockholder action.
(iv) In addition to the requirements of this Section 2.4, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice (and any additional information submitted to the Company in
connection therewith) must further be updated and supplemented (1) if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice is true and correct as of the record date(s) for determining the stockholders entitled
to notice of, and to vote at, the annual meeting and as of the date that is 10 business days prior to the annual meeting or any adjournment, rescheduling, postponement or other delay thereof; and (2) to provide any additional information that
the Company may reasonably request. Any such update and supplement or additional information (including, if requested pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(iii)(3)(P)) must be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company
(A) in the case of a request for additional information, promptly following a request therefor, which response must be received by the Secretary not later than such reasonable time as is specified in any such request from the Company; or
(B) in the case of any other update or supplement of any information, not later than five business days after the record date(s) for the annual meeting (in the case of any update and supplement required to be made as of the record date(s)),
and not later than eight business days prior to the date for the annual meeting or any adjournment, rescheduling, postponement or other delay thereof (in the case of any update or supplement required to be made as of 10 business days prior to
the annual meeting or any adjournment, rescheduling, postponement or other delay thereof). No later than five business days prior to the annual meeting or any adjournment, rescheduling, postponement or other delay thereof, a stockholder
nominating individuals for election as a director will provide the Company with reasonable evidence that such stockholder has met the requirements of Rule 14a‑19. The failure to timely provide such update, supplement, evidence or additional
information shall result in the nomination or proposal no longer being eligible for consideration at the annual meeting. If the stockholder fails to comply with the requirements of Rule 14a‑19 (including because the stockholder fails to
provide the Company with all information or notices required by Rule 14a‑19), then the director nominees proposed by such stockholder shall be ineligible for election at the annual meeting and any votes or proxies in respect of such
nomination shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that such proxies may have been received by the Company and counted for the purposes of determining quorum. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement, or provide
additional information or evidence, as set forth in these bylaws shall not limit the Company’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines pursuant to these bylaws or enable
or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice pursuant to these bylaws to amend or update any nomination or to submit any new nomination. No disclosure pursuant to these bylaws will be required with respect to the
ordinary course business activities of any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is the stockholder submitting a notice pursuant to this Section 2.4 solely because such broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust
company or other nominee has been directed to prepare and submit the notice required by these bylaws on behalf of a beneficial owner.
D - 6
(b) Special Meetings of Stockholders. Except to the extent required by the DGCL, and subject to Section 2.3(a), special
meetings of stockholders may be called only in accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation and these bylaws. Only such business will be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as has been brought before the special
meeting pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting. If the election of directors is included as business to be brought before a special meeting in the Company’s notice of meeting, then nominations of persons for election to the Board of
Directors at such special meeting may be made by any stockholder who (i) is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of the notice contemplated by this Section 2.4(b); (ii) is a stockholder of record on the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to notice of the special meeting; (iii) is a stockholder of record on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting; (iv) is a stockholder of record at the
time of the special meeting; and (v) complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.4(b) (with such procedures that the Company deems to be applicable to such special meeting). For nominations to be properly brought by a stockholder
before a special meeting pursuant to this Section 2.4(b), the stockholder’s notice must be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company no earlier than 8:00 a.m., Eastern time, on the 120th day prior to the day
of the special meeting and no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the special meeting was first made. In no event will any adjournment, rescheduling, postponement
or other delay of a special meeting or any announcement thereof commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. A stockholder’s notice to the Secretary must comply with the
applicable notice requirements of Section 2.4(a)(iii), with references therein to “annual meeting” deemed to mean “special meeting” for the purposes of this final sentence of this Section 2.4(b).
(c) Other Requirements and Procedures.
(i) To be eligible to be a nominee of any stockholder for election as a director of the Company, the proposed nominee must provide to the Secretary, in accordance
with the applicable time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under Section 2.4(a)(ii) or Section 2.4(b):
(1) a signed and completed written questionnaire (in the form provided by the Secretary at the written request of the nominating stockholder, which form will be
provided by the Secretary within 10 days of receiving such request) containing information regarding such nominee’s background and qualifications and such other information as may reasonably be required by the Company to determine the
eligibility of such nominee to serve as a director of the Company or to serve as an independent director of the Company;

(2) a written representation and undertaking that, unless previously disclosed to the Company, such nominee is not, and will not become, a party to any voting
agreement, arrangement, commitment, assurance or understanding with any person or entity as to how such nominee, if elected as a director, will vote on any issue;
(3) a written representation and undertaking that, unless previously disclosed to the Company, such nominee is not, and will not become, a party to any
Third-Party Compensation Arrangement;
(4) a written representation and undertaking that, if elected as a director, such nominee would be in compliance, and will continue to comply, with the Company’s
corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality, stock ownership and trading guidelines, and other policies and guidelines applicable to directors and in effect during such person’s term in office as a director (and, if requested
by any candidate for nomination, the Secretary will provide to such proposed nominee all such policies and guidelines then in effect); and
(5) a written representation and undertaking that such nominee, if elected, intends to serve a full term on the Board of Directors.
(ii) At the request of the Board of Directors, any person nominated by the Board of Directors for election as a director must furnish to the Secretary the

(iii) No person will be eligible to be nominated by a stockholder for election as a director of the Company, or to be seated as a director of the Company, unless
nominated and elected in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.4. No business proposed by a stockholder will be conducted at a stockholder meeting except in accordance with this Section 2.4.
(iv) The chairperson of the applicable meeting of stockholders will, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in
accordance with the procedures prescribed by these bylaws or that other proposed business was not properly brought before the meeting. If the chairperson of the meeting should so determine, then the chairperson of the meeting will so declare
to the meeting and the defective nomination will be disregarded or such business will not be transacted, as the case may be.
(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.4, unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the
stockholder) does not appear in person at the meeting to present a nomination or other proposed business, such nomination will be disregarded or such business will not be transacted, as the case may be, notwithstanding that proxies in respect
of such nomination or business may have been received by the Company and counted for purposes of determining a quorum. For purposes of this Section 2.4, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be a duly
authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting, and
such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting.

(vi) Without limiting this Section 2.4, a stockholder must also comply with all applicable requirements of the 1934 Act with respect to the matters set forth in
this Section 2.4, it being understood that (1) any references in these bylaws to the 1934 Act are not intended to, and will not, limit any requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant
to this Section 2.4; and (2) compliance with clause (4) of Section 2.4(a)(i) and with Section 2.4(b) are the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations or submit other business (other than as provided in Section 2.4(c)(vii)).
(vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.4, the notice requirements set forth in these bylaws with respect to the proposal of any business
pursuant to this Section 2.4 will be deemed to be satisfied by a stockholder if (1) such stockholder has submitted a proposal to the Company in compliance with Rule 14a‑8 under the 1934 Act; and (2) such stockholder’s proposal has been
included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Company to solicit proxies for the meeting of stockholders. Subject to Rule 14a‑8 and other applicable rules and regulations under the 1934 Act, nothing in these bylaws will be
construed to permit any stockholder, or give any stockholder the right, to include or have disseminated or described in the Company’s proxy statement any nomination of a director or any other business proposal.

Directors, if any, or the chief executive officer (in the absence of the chairperson of the Board of Directors) or the president (in the absence of the chairperson of the Board of Directors and the chief executive officer), or in their

listed, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the
act of the stockholders. Except as otherwise required by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the
meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Except as otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation, these bylaws or the rules of any applicable stock exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed, where a

permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Company must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.
2.11 RECORD DATES
In order that the Company may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a
record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors and which record date shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such
meeting. If the Board of Directors so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board of Directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date,
that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination.
If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be
at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.
A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for
stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance with the provisions of Section 213 of the DGCL and this Section 2.11 at the
adjourned meeting.
In order that the Company may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders
entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which
the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close
of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. The authorization of a person to act as a proxy may be documented, signed and delivered in accordance with Section 116 of the DGCL; provided that
such authorization shall set forth, or be delivered with information enabling the Company to determine, the identity of the stockholder granting such authorization. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable
shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL.
2.13 LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS ENTITLED TO VOTE
The Company shall prepare, no later than the tenth day before each meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting; provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the
tenth day before the meeting date, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The Company shall not be required to include electronic mail

the Company.
2.14 INSPECTORS OF ELECTION
Before any meeting of stockholders, the Company shall appoint an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its adjournment. The Company may designate one

facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

director may provide that it is irrevocable. Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, when one or more directors resign from the Board of Directors, effective at a future date, a majority of the directors
then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective.

At all meetings of the Board of Directors, a majority of the Whole Board shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If a quorum is not present at any
meeting of the Board of Directors, then the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present.
The affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors, except as may be
otherwise specifically provided by statute, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.
If the certificate of incorporation provides that one or more directors shall have more or less than one vote per director on any matter, except as may otherwise be
expressly provided herein or therein and denoted with the phrase “notwithstanding the final paragraph of Section 3.8 of the bylaws” or language to similar effect, every reference in these bylaws to a majority or other proportion of the
directors shall refer to a majority or other proportion of the votes of the directors.

Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, (i) any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors,

delivered in any manner permitted by Section 116 of the DGCL. Any person (whether or not then a director) may provide, whether through instruction to an agent or otherwise, that a consent to action will be effective at a future time
(including a time determined upon the happening of an event), no later than 60 days after such instruction is given or such provision is made and such consent shall be deemed to have been given for purposes of this Section 3.9 at such
effective time so long as such person is then a director and did not revoke the consent prior to such time. Any such consent shall be revocable prior to its becoming effective. After an action is taken, the consent or consents relating
thereto shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board of Directors, or the committee thereof, in the same paper or electronic form as the minutes are maintained.

ARTICLE VII - MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE AND WAIVER
7.1 NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETINGS
Notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be given in the manner set forth in the DGCL.

Except as otherwise prohibited under the DGCL, without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders
given by the Company under the provisions of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws shall be effective if given by a single written notice to stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that
address to whom such notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Company. Any stockholder who fails to object in writing to the Company, within 60 days of having been given written notice
by the Company of its intention to send the single notice, shall be deemed to have consented to receiving such single written notice. This Section 7.2 shall not apply to Sections 164, 296, 311, 312 or 324 of the DGCL.
D - 20
7.3 NOTICE TO PERSON WITH WHOM COMMUNICATION IS UNLAWFUL
Whenever notice is required to be given, under the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of
such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held
without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the Company is such as to require the filing of a
certificate under the DGCL, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.
7.4 WAIVER OF NOTICE
Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the person entitled
to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall
constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or
convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the
certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.
ARTICLE VIII - INDEMNIFICATION
8.1 INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS IN THIRD PARTY PROCEEDINGS
Subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, the Company shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as now or hereinafter in effect, any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”)
(other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was a director or officer of the Company serving at the request of the Company as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by such person in connection with such Proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or
its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.
D - 21
8.2 INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS IN ACTIONS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY
Subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, the Company shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as now or hereinafter in effect, any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or
officer of the Company, or is or was a director or officer of the Company serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such Proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the Company; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the
extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
8.3 SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE
To the extent that a present or former director or officer (for purposes of this Section 8.3 only, as such term is defined in Section 145(c)(1) of the DGCL) of the Company
has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding described in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith. The Company may indemnify any other person who is not a present or former director or officer of the Company against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually
and reasonably incurred by such person to the extent he or she has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding described in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein.

shall be indemnified.

8.5 ADVANCED PAYMENT OF EXPENSES
Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by an officer or director of the Company in defending any Proceeding shall be paid by the Company in
advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding upon receipt of a written request therefor (together with documentation reasonably evidencing such expenses) and an undertaking by or on behalf of the person to repay such amounts if it
shall ultimately be determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VIII or the DGCL. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by former directors and officers or other
employees and agents of the Company or by persons serving at the request of the Company as directors, officers, employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise may be so paid upon such terms
and conditions, if any, as the Company deems appropriate. The right to advancement of expenses shall not apply to any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to these bylaws, but shall apply to any
Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) referenced in Section 8.6(b) or 8.6(c) prior to a determination that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined pursuant to Section 8.8, no advance shall be made by the Company to an officer of the Company (except by reason
of the fact that such officer is or was a director of the Company, in which event this paragraph shall not apply) in any Proceeding if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (a) by a vote of the directors who are not parties to such
Proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (b) by a committee of such directors designated by the vote of the majority of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (c) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so
direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such
person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company.
8.6 LIMITATION ON INDEMNIFICATION
Subject to the requirements in Section 8.3 and the DGCL, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any person pursuant to this Article VIII in connection with any

with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid;
(b) for an accounting or disgorgement of profits pursuant to Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act, or similar provisions of federal, state or local statutory law or
common law, if such person is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);
(c) for any reimbursement of the Company by such person of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by such
person from the sale of securities of the Company, as required in each case under the 1934 Act (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of
2002 (the “Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act”), or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale by such person of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act), if such
person is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);

therefor, the claimant shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction of his or her entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of expenses. The Company shall indemnify such person against any and all
expenses that are actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any action for indemnification or advancement of expenses from the Company under this Article VIII, to the extent such person is successful in such action,
and to the extent not prohibited by law. In any such suit, the Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proving that the claimant is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of
expenses.
8.8 NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS

seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the certificate of incorporation or any statute, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. The Company is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting
indemnification and advancement of expenses, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL or other applicable law.

request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such
capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of the DGCL.
8.10 SURVIVAL

A right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses arising under a provision of the certificate of incorporation or a bylaw shall not be eliminated or impaired by an
amendment to or repeal or elimination of the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws after the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of the Proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought, unless
the provision in effect at the time of such act or omission explicitly authorizes such elimination or impairment after such action or omission has occurred.
8.12 CERTAIN DEFINITIONS

venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to the resulting or surviving entity as such person would have with respect to such constituent entity if its separate
