Recitals
WHEREAS, the Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business
Combination”);
WHEREAS, in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”), the Company and the Purchaser entered into the forward purchase agreement, dated September 17, 2020 (the “Existing Agreement”),
pursuant to which immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination, the Company would issue and sell, and the Purchaser would purchase, on a private placement basis, up to 17,500,000 Class A ordinary shares of the Company (“Company
Class A Shares”) and up to 3,500,000 redeemable warrants exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share of the Company (together, the “Company Forward Purchase Securities”) on the terms and
conditions set forth therein;
WHEREAS, the Company has proposed to effect a Business Combination on the terms, and subject to the conditions set forth in the business combination agreement, dated April 12,
2021, by and among the Company, PubCo, Grab Holdings Inc., J2 Holdings Inc. and J3 Holdings Inc. (as amended, modified or supplemented, from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the Company and the Purchaser wish to amend and restate the Existing Agreement in its entirety as provided herein to, among
other matters set forth herein, replace the commitment made by the Purchaser to purchase the Company Forward Purchase Securities with a commitment by the Purchaser to purchase 17,500,000 Class A ordinary shares of PubCo (“PubCo Forward Purchase
Shares”) and 3,500,000 PubCo Warrants (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) (the “PubCo Forward Purchase Warrants” and together with the PubCo Forward Purchase Shares, the “PubCo Forward Purchase Securities”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, representations, warranties and the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Sale and Purchase.
(a)

|
(i) |
Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, PubCo shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from PubCo, the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities for an
aggregate purchase price of $175,000,000 (the “FPS Purchase Price”).
|
(ii) |
Each PubCo Forward Purchase Warrant, if any, will have the same terms as each warrant of the Company sold as part of the units in the IPO (which themselves are to be converted into and become warrants of PubCo
with effect on and from the closing of Initial Merger (as defined under the Business Combination Agreement) (the “Public Warrants”) and will be subject to the
terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement, dated September 30, 2020, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Warrant Agent (the “Warrant Agent”), in
connection with the IPO, to be amended pursuant to the Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement to be entered into by and between the Company, PubCo and the Warrant Agent pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Warrant
Agreement”). Each PubCo Forward Purchase Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share of PubCo (“PubCo Class A Share”) at a
price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described in the Warrant Agreement. The PubCo Forward Purchase Warrants will become exercisable on the later of thirty (30) days after the Acquisition Closing (as defined in the Business
Combination Agreement, the “Acquisition Closing”) and October 5, 2021, and will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five (5) years after the Acquisition Closing or earlier upon redemption or
the liquidation of PubCo, as described in the Warrant Agreement, and only whole PubCo Forward Purchase Warrants will be exercisable.
|
(iii) |
PubCo shall deliver a written notice (the “PubCo Notice”) to the Purchaser, at least five (5) Business Days before the anticipated
date of the Acquisition Closing (provided that the Closing shall occur no earlier than immediately after the Initial Merger Effective Time (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement)), specifying the anticipated date of the
Acquisition Closing and instructions for wiring the FPS Purchase Price to an account designated by PubCo.
|
(iv) |
Purchaser shall deliver to PubCo on or before two (2) Business Days prior to the anticipated date of the Acquisition Closing specified in the PubCo Notice the FPS Purchase Price by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in
immediately available funds to the escrow account specified by PubCo in the PubCo Notice, to be held by the escrow agent until the Acquisition Closing.
|
(v) |
(vi) |
The closing of the sale of the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities (the “FPS Closing”) shall occur on the same day, but substantially concurrent with, the Acquisition
Closing subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided that the FPS Closing shall occur no earlier than immediately after the Initial Merger Effective Time (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement).
|
(vii) |
In the event the Acquisition Closing does not occur within five (5) business days after the FPS Closing, PubCo shall cause the escrow agent to promptly (but not later than two (2) Business Days thereafter) return
the FPS Purchase Price to the Purchaser by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Purchaser, and any book entries shall be deemed cancelled; provided that unless this Agreement has
been terminated pursuant to Section 8, such return of funds shall not terminate this Agreement or relieve Purchaser of its obligation to purchase the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities at the FPS Closing upon delivery of a new Closing
Notice in accordance with the terms of this Section 1(a). Prior to or at Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to PubCo a duly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or appropriate Form W-8.

As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, not later than one (1) Business Day after the Acquisition Closing, PubCo shall deliver to Purchaser (1) the PubCo Forward Purchase Shares in book
entry form free and clear of any liens or other restrictions (other than those arising under applicable securities laws), in the name of the Purchaser (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) or to a custodian
designated by the Purchaser, as applicable; and (2) a copy of the records of PubCo’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) or other evidence showing the Purchaser as the owner of the PubCo Forward
Purchase Shares on and as of the date of the Acquisition Closing.

|
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN VIOLATION
OF SUCH ACT AND LAWS.”
Legend Removal. PubCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts, if requested by the Purchaser, to (i) cause the removal of
any restrictive legend set forth on the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities as soon as reasonably practicable following any such request by the Purchaser and (ii) issue PubCo Forward Purchase Securities without any such legend in certificated or
book-entry form or by electronic delivery through The Depository Trust Company, at the Purchaser’s option, provided that in each case (a) (i) such PubCo Forward Purchase Securities have been registered for resale under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the Purchaser has sold or proposes to sell such PubCo Forward Purchase Securities pursuant to such registration, or (ii) the Purchaser has sold or transferred, or
proposes to sell or transfer, Shares pursuant to Rule 144, and (b) PubCo, its counsel or the transfer agent have received customary representations, opinions of counsel and other documentation from the Purchaser that is reasonably necessary to
establish that restrictive legends are no longer required as reasonably requested by PubCo, its counsel or the transfer agent.
Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser represents and warrants to PubCo and the Company as follows, as of the date hereof:
(a) |
Organization and Power. The Purchaser has been duly formed or incorporated and is validly existing and, where such concept is recognized, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation
or formation, with power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement.
|
(b) |
Authorization. This Agreement has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by the Purchaser. Assuming that this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the other parties hereto,
this Agreement is the valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser and is enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.
|
3
(c) |
Governmental Consents and Filings. The Purchaser is not required to obtain any material consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or
other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or other person in connection with the issuance of the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement, other than (i) filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, (ii) filings required by applicable state or federal securities laws, (iii) those required by the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, and (iv) those required to consummate the transactions as provided under the
Business Combination Agreement.
|
(d) |
Compliance with Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated herein do not and will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of
any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument
to which the Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries is subject, which would
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Purchaser’s ability to enter into and timely perform its obligations under this Agreement (a “Purchaser Material Adverse Effect”),
(ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of the Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or
governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties that would reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.
|
(e) |
Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Purchaser is acquiring the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities only for its own account and not for the account of others.
|
(f) |
Disclosure of Information. The Purchaser has reviewed the documents made available to the Purchaser by the Company and PubCo. The Purchaser and the Purchaser’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the
full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the PubCo
Forward Purchase Securities. The Purchaser further acknowledges that the information provided to the Purchaser is preliminary and subject to change.
|
Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands that the offer and sale of the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of
a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act that depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. The Purchaser
understands that the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Purchaser must hold the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities indefinitely
unless they are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Purchaser acknowledges that PubCo has no
obligation to register or qualify the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities, or any PubCo Class A Shares into which they may be converted into or exercised for, for resale, except pursuant to the registration rights agreement, to be entered into by
PubCo, the Purchaser and the other parties thereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. The Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may
be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities, and on requirements relating to PubCo that are outside of the Purchaser’s control, and
for which PubCo is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy. The Purchaser understands that the offering to the Purchaser of the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities is not, and is not intended to be, part of the IPO, and that the Purchaser
will not be able to rely on the protection of Section 11 of the Securities Act with respect to such PubCo Forward Purchase Securities.
4
(h) |
No Public Market. The Purchaser understands that the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities are being offered and sold in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the PubCo Forward
Purchase Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act. The Purchaser understands that the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities may not be resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by the Purchaser absent an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act, except (i) to PubCo or a subsidiary thereof, (ii) to non-U.S. persons pursuant to offers and sales that occur solely outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the
Securities Act or (iii) pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each of cases (i) and (iii), in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states and other
jurisdictions of the United States, and that any book entries representing the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities shall contain a legend to such effect. The Purchaser acknowledges that the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities will not be eligible
for resale pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act. The Purchaser understands and agrees that the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities will be subject to the foregoing transfer restrictions and, as a result, the Purchaser may
not be able to readily resell the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities for an indefinite period of time. The Purchaser understands that it
has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of any of the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities.
|
(i) |
High Degree of Risk. The Purchaser is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities. The Purchaser is able to fend for itself in the
transactions contemplated herein. The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities, and the
Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Purchaser has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that (A) it (i) is an institutional account as defined in
FINRA Rule 4512(c), (ii) is a sophisticated investor, experienced in investing in financial and business transactions and capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and
investment strategies involving a security or securities and (iii) has exercised independent judgment in evaluating its participation in the purchase of the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities and (B) the purchase and sale of the PubCo Forward
Purchase Securities hereunder meets the institutional customer exemption under FINRA Rule 2111(b). The Purchaser, alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), has analyzed and considered the risks of an investment in the PubCo Forward
Purchase Securities and determined that the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities are a suitable investment for the Purchaser and that the Purchaser is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of
the Purchaser’s investment in PubCo. The Purchaser acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.
|
(j) |
Qualified Institutional Buyer. The Purchaser (i) is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an institutional “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule
501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act), and (ii) is not acquiring the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act and is
not a party to or bound by a binding commitment to sell or otherwise dispose of the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities. The Purchaser acknowledges that the offering meets the exemptions from filing under FINRA Rule 5123(b)(1)(C) or (J).
|
No General Solicitation. The Purchaser acknowledges that the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising,
including methods described in section 502(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities
laws.
(l) |
Non-Public Information. The Purchaser acknowledges its obligations under applicable securities laws with respect to the treatment of material non-public information relating to the Company or PubCo.

this Section 2 and in any certificate or agreement delivered pursuant hereto, none of the Purchaser nor any person acting on behalf of the Purchaser nor any of the

and, upon such execution, such Transferee shall have all the same rights and obligations of the Purchaser hereunder with respect to the Transferee Securities, and references herein to the “Purchaser” shall be deemed to refer to and include any such Transferee with respect to such Transferee and to its Transferee Securities; provided, that any representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the
Purchaser and any such Transferee shall be several and not joint and shall be made as to the Purchaser or any such Transferee, as applicable, as to itself only; and
|

(ii) |
upon a Transferee’s execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement, the maximum number of PubCo Forward Purchase Securities to be purchased by the Purchaser hereunder shall be reduced by the number of PubCo Forward
Purchase Securities to be purchased by the applicable Transferee pursuant to the applicable Joinder Agreement, which reduction shall be evidenced by the Purchaser and PubCo amending Schedule A to this Agreement to reflect each transfer to
reflect such reduced number of PubCo Forward Purchase Securities. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement need not be amended and restated in its entirety, but only Schedule A and the Purchaser’s signature page hereto need be so amended
and updated and executed by each of the Purchaser and PubCo upon the occurrence of any such transfer of Transferee Securities; provided that, in the case of any such transfer or assignment, the initial party to this Forward Purchase Agreement
shall remain bound by its obligations under this Forward Purchase Agreement.

and the regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Code”). Until the Business Combination, if the Company determines that the Company or any subsidiary
of the Company is a PFIC in any year, for the year of determination and for each year thereafter during which the Purchaser holds an equity interest in the Company, including warrants, the Company or its subsidiary shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to (i) make available to the Purchaser the information that may be required to make or maintain a “qualified electing fund” election under the Code with respect to the Company and (ii) furnish the information required to

matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby.
Successors. All of the terms, agreements, covenants, representations, warranties, and conditions of this Agreement are binding upon, and inure to the benefit of and are
enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies,

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same
instrument.
Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
Governing Law. This Agreement, the entire relationship of the parties hereto, and any dispute between 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 New York, without giving effect to its choice of laws principles.
13
Jurisdiction. The parties hereto (i) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the state courts of New York and to the jurisdiction of the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement, (b) agree not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LITIGATION PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except with the written consent of PubCo, the Company and the Purchaser.
Severability. The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of
the other provisions hereof; provided that if any provision of this Agreement, as applied to any party hereto or to any circumstance, is adjudged by a governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator not to be enforceable in accordance with its terms,
the parties hereto agree that the governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator making such determination will have the power to modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable, and/or to delete specific
words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision will then be enforceable and will be enforced.

Company fees associated with the issuance of the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities and the securities issuable upon conversion or exercise of the PubCo Forward Purchase Securities.
Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises,
this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Any reference to any
federal, state, local, or foreign law will be deemed also to refer to law as amended and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be
followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise
requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each
representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation,
warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first
representation, warranty, or covenant.
14
Waiver. No waiver by any party hereto of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or
subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent occurrence.
Confidentiality. Except as may be required by law, regulation or applicable stock exchange listing requirements, unless and until the transactions contemplated hereby and the
terms hereof are publicly announced or otherwise publicly disclosed by the Company and PubCo, the parties hereto shall keep confidential and shall not publicly disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement.
(r) |
Certain Tax Matters. The parties acknowledge and agree that for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Purchaser shall be deemed to be the owner of any funds transferred by Purchaser to any escrow account unless
and until such funds are disbursed to PubCo in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, which disbursement shall occur, for the avoidance of doubt, no earlier than immediately following the Initial Merger Effective Time (as defined in the
Business Combination Agreement).
