WHEREAS, contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, 10X and the Company have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), whereby the parties intend to effect a business combination between 10X and the Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (the Merger, and all other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements, including the Merger Agreement, collectively, the “Transactions”). Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Merger Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Definitions. As used herein, the term “Voting Shares” shall mean, taken together, (i) all securities of 10X beneficially owned (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, excluding shares of stock underlying unexercised options or warrants, but including any shares of stock acquired upon exercise of such options or warrants) (“Beneficially Owned”) by any Voting Party, including any and all securities of 10X acquired and held in such capacity subsequent to the date hereof (“10X Voting Shares”) and (ii) all securities of the Company Beneficially Owned by any Voting Party, including any and all securities of the Company acquired and held in such capacity subsequent to the date hereof (the “Company Voting Interests”).
2. Representations and Warranties of the Voting Parties. Each Voting Party on its own behalf hereby represents and warrants to the other parties hereto, severally and not jointly, with respect to such Voting Party and such Voting Party’s ownership of its Voting Shares set forth on Annex A hereto as follows:
a. Authority. If Voting Party is a legal entity it is duly organized, validly existing and, to the extent such concept is applicable, in good standing under the applicable law of the jurisdiction of its organization, and Voting Party has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to perform fully Voting Party’s obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. If Voting Party is a natural person, Voting Party has the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement. If Voting Party is a legal entity, this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action, executed and delivered by Voting Party. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Voting Party enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
b. No Consent. No consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity or other Person on the part of Voting Party is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. If Voting Party is a natural person, no consent of such Voting Party’s spouse is necessary under any “community property” or other laws for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. If Voting Party is a trust, no consent of any beneficiary is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
c. No Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the Transactions, including the transactions contemplated hereby, nor Voting Party’s compliance with the terms hereof and performance of his, her or its obligations hereunder, will, directly or indirectly (i) violate, conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) under any provision of, Voting Party’s organizational documents, any trust agreement, loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, instrument, permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment, order, notice, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to Voting Party or to Voting Party’s property or assets (including the Voting Shares) that would reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the consummation of the Transactions or that would reasonably be expected to prevent Voting Party from fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon the Voting Shares.
d. Ownership of Shares. Voting Party (i) Beneficially Owns its Voting Shares free and clear of all Liens and (ii) has the sole power to vote or caused to be voted its Voting Shares. Except pursuant hereto and pursuant to (A) the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Sponsor, (B) the Securities Subscription Agreement, dated as of August 10, 2020, by and between 10X and Sponsor, (C) the Letter Agreement, dated as of November 24, 2020, by and among 10X, Sponsor and each of the Insiders (as such term is defined therein) and (D) the Sixth Amended Articles of the Company, there are no options, warrants or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character to which Voting Party is a party relating to the pledge, acquisition, disposition, transfer or voting of Voting Shares prior to the consummation of the Transactions and there are no voting trusts or voting agreements with respect to the Voting Shares. Other than the Voting Shares set forth on Annex A hereto, Voting Party does not Beneficially Own any Voting Shares or any options, warrants or other rights to acquire any additional Company Voting Interests or shares of common stock of 10X (“10X Common Stock”) or any security exercisable for or convertible into Company Voting Interests or shares of 10X Common Stock.
e. No Litigation. There is no Legal Proceeding pending against, or, to the knowledge of Voting Party, threatened against, Voting Party that would reasonably be expected to materially impair or materially adversely affect the ability of Voting Party to perform Voting Party’s obligations hereunder, to consummate the Transactions, including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or that would reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the consummation of the Transactions.
2
f. Sophistication. Voting Party is a sophisticated shareholder and has adequate information concerning the business and financial condition of 10X and the Company to make an informed decision regarding this Agreement and the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements and has independently and based on such information as the Voting Party has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement, without reliance upon the Company, 10X, any of their Affiliates or any of the respective Representatives of the foregoing. Voting Party acknowledges that 10X and the Company have not made and do not make any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, of any kind or character except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Voting Party acknowledges that the agreements contained herein with respect to the Voting Shares Beneficially Owned by Voting Party are irrevocable.
3. Agreement to Vote Shares; Irrevocable Proxy; Further Assurances.
a. Each Voting Party shall, solely in his, her or its capacity as a SPAC Stockholder, during the term of this Agreement vote or cause to be voted all 10X Voting Shares that he, she or it Beneficially Owns, at every meeting of the stockholders of 10X at which such matters are considered and at every adjournment or postponement thereof: (i) in favor of the SPAC Transaction Proposals (which may include an amendment of 10X’s governing documents to extend the outside date for consummating the Transactions, if applicable); and (ii) against (A) any proposal or offer from any Person (other than the Company or any of its Affiliates) concerning (1) a merger, consolidation, liquidation, recapitalization, share exchange or other business combination transaction involving 10X, or (2) the issuance or acquisition of shares of capital stock or other equity securities of 10X (other than as contemplated by the Merger Agreement); (B) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that could reasonably be expected to result in a material breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of 10X under the Merger Agreement; and (C) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that could reasonably be expected to materially impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, adversely affect or inhibit the timely consummation of the Transactions or the fulfillment of 10X’s obligations under the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of shares of 10X (including any amendments to 10X’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws other than in connection with the Transactions).
3

Each Voting Party shall, solely in his, her or its capacity as a shareholder of the Company, during the term of this Agreement and upon the request of the Company, promptly request in writing: (i) in accordance with Section 67(e) of the Sixth Amended and Restated Articles of Association of the Company dated August 26, 2020, that the shares of the Company be listed upon the Closing on Nasdaq, and (ii) in accordance with Section 14.2 of the Sixth Amended and Restated Articles of Association of the Company dated August 26, 2020, that all Company Preferred Shares held by such Voting Party be converted into Company Ordinary Shares (or the equivalent thereof, if the Company has more than one class of shares following the Closing). In addition, each Voting Party shall, solely in his, her or its capacity as a shareholder of the Company, during the term of this Agreement, (x) vote or cause to be voted all Company Voting Interests he, she or it Beneficially Owns, at every meeting (or in connection with any request for action by written consent) of the shareholders of the Company at which such matters are considered and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and (y) execute a written consent or consents if the shareholders of the Company are requested to vote their voting interests through the execution of an action by written consent, in each case to the extent such Company Voting Interests are entitled to vote thereon pursuant to the Sixth Amended Articles of the Company: (i) in favor of the Company Transaction Proposals; (ii) against (A) any proposal or offer from any Person (other than 10X or any of its Affiliates) concerning (1) a merger, consolidation, liquidation, recapitalization, share exchange or other business combination transaction involving the Company, or (2) the sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of any significant portion of the Company’s properties or assets; (B) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a material breach of any covenant, representation or warranty of the Company or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement; and (C) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be expected to materially impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, adversely affect or inhibit the timely consummation of the Transactions or the fulfillment of the Company’s or Merger Sub’s obligations under the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of shares of the Company (including any amendments to the Company charter documents), (iii) approval that (i) immediately prior to the Closing, each of the Founders of the Company, Xx. Xxxxxx Xxxxx and Mr. Ahishay Sardes (each a “Founder” and collectively, the “Founders”), in recognition of the Company’s achievements over the past year, and in particular the significant increase in the Company’s valuation and entering into of the Merger Agreement with the SPAC at a valuation significantly higher than the valuation in the Company’s previous investment, shall be granted an option, under the Company Plan (under the “capital gains route” pursuant to section 102 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance), to purchase up to 1,062,000 Ordinary Shares (each Founder up to 531,000 Ordinary Shares; which reflects in total an estimate of the Actual Number (as defined below)), at an exercise price per share equal to NIS 0.01 (the “Option”), and (ii) that the Option shall vest with respect to that number of shares equal to the Actual Number (as defined below) on the first business day following the Closing and the remaining portion of the Option that does not vest as of such time shall expire and terminate as of such time. “Actual Number” shall mean that number of Ordinary Shares of the Company representing 2.8% of the shares comprising the Fully Diluted Company Equity Securities (as defined in Exhibit D to the Merger Agreement) immediately following the Closing (after taking into account any redemption affected at the SPAC level and any forfeiture of shares issued to the Sponsor), which shall in no event be higher than the estimated number above; and (iv) immediately following the Closing, each Founder shall be issued a number of Class B Shares, for no consideration, equal to the number of Class A share that such Founder holds and underlying vested and unvested equity awards by such Founder.
c. (1) Each of the undersigned holding Company Voting Interests (each, a “Company Holder”) hereby appoints the Company’s general counsel or secretary and any designee thereof, and each of them individually, and (2) each holder of 10X Common Stock (each, a “10X Holder”) hereby appoints Xxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx and any designee of Xx. Xxxxxx and Xx. Xxxxxxxx, and each of them individually, as its proxies and attorneys-in-fact, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote or act by written consent during the term of this Agreement with respect to the Voting Shares in accordance with Sections 3(a) and 3(b) hereof and, in the case of each Company Holder, to provide the written consents specified in the first sentence of Section 3(b) hereof. This proxy and power of attorney is given to secure the performance of the duties of Voting Party under this Agreement. Each Voting Party shall take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy. This proxy and power of attorney granted by Voting Party shall be irrevocable during the term of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy and shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by Voting Party with respect to the Voting Shares. The power of attorney granted by Voting Party herein is a durable power of attorney and shall survive the dissolution, bankruptcy, death or incapacity of Voting Party. The proxy and power of attorney granted hereunder shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement.
4
d. From time to time, at the request of the Company, each Company Holder shall take, and at the request of 10X, each 10X Holder shall take, all such further actions, as may be necessary or appropriate to, in the most expeditious manner reasonably practicable, effect the purposes of this Agreement, and execute customary documents incident to the consummation of the Transactions.

Each Voting Party hereby revokes any and all previous proxies and attorneys in fact with respect to the Voting Shares.
5. Transfer and Encumbrance. Each Voting Party agrees that during the term of this Agreement Voting Party will not, directly or indirectly, transfer (including by operation of law), sell, offer, exchange, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber (“Transfer”) any of his, her or its Voting Shares or enter into any contract, option or other agreement with respect to, or consent to, a Transfer of, any of his, her or its Voting Shares or Voting Party’s voting or economic interest therein. Any attempted Transfer of Voting Shares or any interest therein in violation of this Section 5 shall be null and void.

7. Redemption and Registration Rights. Each 10X Holder agrees not to exercise any right to redeem any 10X Voting Shares Beneficially Owned as of the date hereof or acquired and held in such capacity subsequent to the date hereof.

Upon termination of this Agreement, no party shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement; provided, that nothing in this Section 8 shall relieve any party of liability for any willful breach of this Agreement occurring prior to termination.
9. No Agreement as Director or Officer. Each Voting Party is signing this Agreement solely in its capacity as a stockholder of 10X or as a shareholder of the Company, as applicable. No Voting Party makes any agreement or understanding in this Agreement in such Voting Party’s capacity (or in the capacity of any Affiliate, partner or employee of Voting Party) as a director or officer of 10X, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries (if Voting Party holds such office). Nothing in this Agreement will limit or affect any actions or omissions taken by a Voting Party in his, her or its capacity as a director or officer of 10X or the Company, and no actions or omissions taken in any Voting Party’s capacity as a director or officer shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement.

Voting Party shall not be responsible for the actions of 10X or the Company or the respective boards of directors of 10X or the Company (or any committee thereof), any subsidiary of 10X or the Company, or any officers, directors (in their capacity as such), employees and professional advisors of any of the foregoing and Voting Party makes no representations or warranties with respect to the actions of any of the foregoing.
10. Specific Enforcement. Monetary damages would not adequately compensate an injured party for the breach of this Agreement by any party hereto and, accordingly, this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable, in addition to any other remedy to which such injured party is entitled at law or in equity, and any breach of this Agreement shall be the proper subject of a temporary or permanent injunction or restraining order. Further, each party hereto waives any claim or defense that there is an adequate remedy at law for such breach or threatened breach or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity and agrees that a party’s rights would be materially and adversely affected if the obligations of the other parties under this Agreement were not carried out in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

7

1 (i) 382,500 Ordinary Shares are subject to a charge in favor of the State of Israel, which is in the process of removal as of the date hereof; and (ii) the Voting Party has entered into an agreement with an Affiliate of the Voting Party to transfer 10% of the Company Voting Interests held by the Voting Party to such Affiliate, which transfer shall be effected after removing such charge.

Exhibit A
Proxy
(the “Company”)
Proxy
For an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Shareholders of the Company
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein, shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them under the Support Agreement dated February 3, 2021, to which this Proxy was attached or under the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 3, 2021 by and between the Company, 10X Capital Venture Acquisition Corp, a Delaware corporation, and Merger Sub, a Delaware corporation (as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement.”)
The Company Shares represented by this proxy, when properly executed, will be voted or withheld from voting on any ballot that may be called for, in the manner directed herein by the undersigned shareholder. If a choice is specified with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Company Shares shall be voted or withheld from voting accordingly. Where no instruction is given in respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Company Shares represented hereby shall, on any ballot that may be called for, be voted FOR the adoption of all such matters.
The undersigned (the “Shareholder”), being the holder of Company Ordinary Shares and/or Company Preferred Shares, acting pursuant to the Companies Law, 5759-1999, does hereby irrevocably authorize the Company’s general counsels or secretary acting severally and not jointly or any person designated by one of them, with full powers of substitution (the “Proxy Holder”), to represent the Shareholder and:
1) sign a written consent (i) in accordance with Section 67(e) of the Sixth Amended and Restated Articles of Association of the Company dated August 26, 2020, that the shares of the Company be listed upon the Closing on Nasdaq, and (ii) in accordance with Section 14.2 of the Sixth Amended and Restated Articles of Association of the Company dated August 26, 2020, that all Company Preferred Shares held by such Voting Party be converted into Company Ordinary Shares (or the equivalent thereof, if the Company has more than one class of shares following the Closing); and
2) vote all of the Company Ordinary Shares and Company Preferred Shares held by the Shareholder, on behalf and in the name of the Shareholder, at the Meeting, and at any postponements or adjournments thereof, in favor of the following resolutions: (a) approval of the Stock Split; (b) approval of the listing of the Company Ordinary Shares and the Company Warrants issuable in accordance with the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, to be approved for listing on Nasdaq; (c) approval of the Company Preferred Share Conversion; (d) waiver of preemptive rights from all “Major Shareholders” (as such term is defined in Sixth Amended Articles of the Company), (e) approval of all Company Transaction Proposals, and (f) approval that (i) immediately prior to the Closing, each of the Founders of the Company, Xx. Xxxxxx Xxxxx and Mr. Ahishay Sardes (each a “Founder” and collectively, the “Founders”), in recognition of the Company’s achievements over the past year, and in particular the significant increase in the Company’s valuation and entering into of the Merger Agreement with the SPAC at a valuation significantly higher than the valuation in the Company’s previous investment, shall be granted an option, under the Company Plan (under the “capital gains route” pursuant to section 102 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance), to purchase such number of Ordinary Shares of the Company representing at such time 2.8% of the shares comprising the Fully Diluted Company Equity Securities (as defined in Exhibit D to the Merger Agreement) following the Closing (after taking into account any redemption affected at the SPAC level and any forfeiture of shares issued to the Sponsor), at an exercise price per share equal to NIS 0.01 (the “Option”), (ii) the Option shall immediately vest upon the Closing occurring, and (iii) the Board shall be authorized to determine the exact number of Ordinary Shares underlying the Option based on the foregoing criteria.
FURTHER RESOLVED, that Prior to the Closing, the Board shall convene to determine the exact number of Ordinary Shares underlying the Option, and thereafter the grant shall be presented for approval of the Company’s shareholders.
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the undersigned Shareholder hereby waives any and all irregularities of notice, with respect to the time and place of meeting, and consents to the transaction of all business represented by this written consent.
