Agreement
1. Amendment. Sections 4(b) and 4(c) of the Forward Purchase
Agreement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as set forth below:
“(b) Redemption and Liquidation. The Purchaser hereby waives, with respect to any Public Shares purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement or other Public Shares purchased by
it that are not held directly or indirectly in connection with a third-party client, any redemption rights it may have in connection with (i) the consummation of a Business Combination, including, without limitation, any such rights available in the
context of a stockholder vote to approve such Business Combination and (ii) any stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Charter that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares sold in
the IPO if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Charter or in the context of a tender offer made by the Company to purchase Public Shares, it being understood that the Purchaser shall
be entitled to redemption and liquidation rights with respect to any Public Shares held by it in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination and liquidates.
(c) Voting. The Purchaser hereby agrees that if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, then in connection with such proposed Business Combination, the Purchaser shall
vote any Class A Shares purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement or other Class A Shares purchased by it that are not held directly or indirectly in connection with a third-party client, in favor of any proposed Business Combination. If the
Purchaser fails to vote any Class A Shares it is required to vote hereunder in favor of a proposed Business Combination, the Purchaser hereby grants hereunder to the Company and any representative designated by the Company without further action by
the Purchaser a limited irrevocable power of attorney to effect such vote on behalf of the Purchaser, which power of attorney shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest.”
