I, a Delaware corporation, renamed Leafly Holdings Inc. (the “Company”), and Tenor Opportunity Master Fund, Ltd. (the “Investor”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Forward Share Purchase Agreement.

Article I
1.1Amendments to the Forward Share Purchase Agreement.
(a)Section 1(a) of the Forward Share Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(a) Forward Share Purchase. Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4, on August 1, 2022 (the “Put Date”), the Investor may elect to sell and transfer to the Company, and the Company shall purchase from the Investor, the number of Shares that are then held by the Investor, but not to exceed 1,200,000 Shares in the aggregate unless otherwise agreed in writing by all Parties, at a price per Share equal to $10.31 per Share (the “Shares Purchase Price”). Each Investor shall, notify the Company and the Escrow Agent (as defined below) in writing five (5) Business Days (as defined below) or more prior to the Put Date whether or not the Investor is exercising such Investor’s right to sell any of the Shares held by such Investor to the Company pursuant to this Agreement (each, a “Shares Sale Notice”). Any Investor that fails to timely deliver a Shares Sales Notice in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have forfeited its right to sell any Shares to the Company pursuant to this Agreement.
(b)Section 1(b) of the Forward Share Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(b) Shares Closing. If a Shares Sale Notice is timely delivered by any Investor to the Company and the Escrow Agent, the closing of the sale of the Shares contemplated in each such timely delivered Share Sales Notice (the “Shares Closing”) shall occur on the Put Date (the “Shares Closing Date”). On the Shares Closing Date, each selling Investor shall deliver, or make available for delivery by
way of DWAC, the Shares subject to the applicable Shares Sale Notice free and clear of all liens and encumbrances to the Escrow Agent and, in exchange therefor, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to each such selling Investor(s) an amount equal to (i) the Shares Purchase Price multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares being sold by such selling Investor (with respect to any particular selling Investor, the “Investor Shares Purchase Price”), which shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Escrow Account. The Escrow Agent shall, (i) without delay, release from the Escrow Account to the Investor on the Shares Closing Date, for the Investor’s use without restriction, an amount equal to the Investor Shares Purchase Price, and (ii) promptly deliver such sold Shares to the Company.
(c)Section 1 of the Forward Share Purchase Agreement is hereby amended to add Section 1(c), which shall read as follows:
(c) Partial Distribution Option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Investor may, at its option, concurrently with the delivery of a Share Sales Notice or Put Notice, provide written notice to the Company and Escrow Agent (a “Partial Distribution Notice”) to instruct the Escrow Agent to (i) release $10.01 per Share to the Investor rather than the full Shares Purchase Price and (ii) retain the remaining $0.30 per Share in escrow (the “Remaining Amount”). In the event a Partial Distribution Notice is provided by the Investor, on or prior to August 1, 2023, the Investor may instruct the Escrow Agent by written notice to disburse the Remaining Amount to the Investor. If the Investor does not provide written notice to the Escrow Agent by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 1, 2023 to cause the release of such amount to the Investor, the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Remaining Amount to the Company and the Investor shall forfeit its right to receive such Remaining Amount.
(d)Section 2(f) of the Forward Share Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(f) Shareholdings. As of the date of May 3, 2022, the Investor holds 1,200,000 Shares.
(e)Section 4(b) of the Forward Share Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
[Intentionally deleted]
(f)Section 4(c) of the Forward Share Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating the second sentence of Section 4(c) as follows:
The Investor shall give written notice to the Company and the Escrow Agent of any open market sale pursuant to this Section 4(c) or any other disposition of the Shares, including pursuant to the delivery of Shares in connection with the exercise of any derivative transactions entered into by the Investor (which shall be treated as a sale for purposes of Section 3.1 of the Escrow Agreement), within three (3) Business Days following the date of such sale or other transfer (each, an “Open Market Sale Notice”), and each Open Market Sale Notice shall include the date of the sale or other transfer, the number of Shares sold or transferred, and confirmation that the sale price per Share was greater than $10.01 per share prior to the payment of any commissions due by the Investor for the sale.
(g)Section 5 of the Forward Share Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
5. Closing Conditions. The obligation of the Company to purchase the Shares at the Shares Closing under this Agreement shall be subject in all respects to the consummation of the Business Combination, such Shares being free and clear of all liens and other encumbrances as of the Shares Closing and such Shares being continuously held by the Investor from the closing of the Business Combination through the Put Date.
1.2Agreement in Effect. Except as expressly amended by this Amendment, the Forward Share Purchase Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. This Amendment does not constitute, directly or by implication, an amendment or waiver of any provision of the Forward Share Purchase Agreement, or any other right, remedy, power or privilege of any party thereto, except as expressly set forth herein.
1.3Effectiveness. This Amendment shall be valid and enforceable as of the date of this Amendment, and shall form a part of the Forward Share Purchase Agreement for all purposes hereafter, and may not be revoked by any party hereto.
1.4Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement, the entire relationship of the Parties, and any litigation among the Parties (whether grounded in contract, tort, statute, law or equity) shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its choice of laws or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Any dispute arising from or relating to the relative rights of the parties hereto and all other questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement, shall be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery or, to the extent the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and the appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals in such courts or, to the extent neither the Court of Chancery nor the Delaware Federal Court has subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, and, solely with respect to any such action (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, (ii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action in the Chosen Courts, and (iii) waives any objection that the Chosen Courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any party hereto.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have caused this Amendment to be executed as of the date first written above.
