This Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of August 1, 2020 between Lordstown Motors Corp., a Delaware corporation (“LMC”), and Workhorse Group Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Workhorse” and together with LMC, the “Parties” and each, a “Party”).

Background Information:

A.As of the date of this Agreement, Workhorse owns 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of LMC.

B.The Parties are party to a Subscription Agreement, dated November 7, 2019 (the “Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which LMC granted Workhorse, for the period ending two (2) years from the date of the Subscription Agreement, full anti-dilution protection such that Workhorse’s percentage ownership of LMC’s capital stock as of immediately prior to a Dilutive Event (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) would not be diluted or reduced including in connection with a Dilutive Event.

C.The Parties are party to a Stockholder Agreement, dated February 14, 2020 (the “Stockholder Agreement”), which, among other things, grants Workhorse the right (but not the obligation), so long as Workhorse owns beneficially at least 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of LMC, to designate one person (subject to the written approval of LMC’s Chief Executive Officer) to be nominated for election to the board of directors of LMC (the “Board Appointment Rights”).

D.The Parties are party to an Intellectual Property License Agreement, dated November 7, 2019 (the “License Agreement”), pursuant to which LMC licenses from Workhorse on an exclusive basis certain Licensed Rights (as defined in the License Agreement) in exchange for, certain royalty and commission payments, including the payment of an Up Front Royalty (as defined in Section 3.1 of the License Agreement).

E.LMC is pursuing a transaction pursuant to which it would (1) merge with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of a publicly traded parent corporation (the “SPAC”) with LMC’s stockholders receiving shares in the SPAC as merger consideration (the “Merger”); and (2) in connection with the Merger, obtain additional financing that LMC needs in order to fund ongoing operations, including without limitation, completing the design of the Endurance^TM vehicle and retooling LMC’s plant, all as more specifically outlined in the letter of intent attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A (collectively, the “Transaction”).

F.The consummation of the Transaction will provide a direct and a significant benefit to Workhorse, and as such, in support of the Transaction, Workhorse and LMC desire to agree to certain terms set forth in this Agreement in connection with the Transaction.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the Parties, the Parties agree as follows:

1.Anti-Dilution Protection. The Parties agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Subscription Agreement or otherwise: (a) immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, LMC shall issue to Workhorse a sufficient number of shares of LMC’s capital stock (“Additional Shares”), such that, in the Merger the aggregate number of shares of LMC capital stock

beneficially owned by Workhorse shall be entitled to be converted into, through the Merger, a number of shares of common stock of the SPAC that is equal to 9.99% of the total number of shares of common stock of the SPAC issued and outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Merger, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include any shares of common stock of the SPAC issued to investors in any financing that closes concurrently with the Merger and shares of common stock of the SPAC underlying any securities issued in such concurrent financing and (b) upon consummation of the Merger, Section 1(C) of the Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, without any further action required by either of the Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, upon the consummation of the Merger and the termination of the Subscription Agreement, Workhorse will have no further anti-dilution rights or similar protections.

2.Stockholder Agreement; Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement. Following the issuance of the Additional Shares and upon consummation of the Merger, without any further action required by either of the Parties: (a) the Stockholder Agreement automatically and immediately shall terminate and be of no further force or effect and (b) Workhorse shall no longer have Board Appointment Rights; provided, however, that such termination of the Stockholder Agreement shall not affect the rights of the Workhorse Designee to indemnification for any matter occurring prior to the consummation of the Transaction. In connection with the Merger, simultaneous with its execution and delivery of this Agreement, Workhorse agrees to execute and deliver the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B (the “Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement”).

3.Termination of Restrictions on Transfer. Upon consummation of the Merger, all restrictions on the transfer of Workhorse’s equity in LMC or the SPAC, including those in Section 5 of the Subscription Agreement and Section 5 of the Stockholder Agreement, shall be automatically and immediately terminated, void and of no further force or effect, except as set forth in the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement and Support Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth in the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement and Support Agreement, following consummation of the Merger, Workhorse shall not be subject to any other lock-up or transfer restrictions pursuant to any contract with LMC or the SPAC.

4.Up Front Royalty Under the License Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the License Agreement or otherwise, the Parties agree that (a) the Up Front Royalty contemplated by the License Agreement shall be equal to $4,750,000 (the “Agreed Amount”), (b) LMC shall pay or cause the SPAC to pay Workhorse the Agreed Amount within five (5) business days after the closing of the Merger, and (c) LMC’s payment of the Agreed Amount shall be in full satisfaction of LMC’s obligation to pay Workhorse the Up Front Royalty. Without limiting the foregoing, Workhorse acknowledges and agrees that following the consummation of the Transaction and payment of the Agreed Amount it will have no right to receive any further payments pursuant to the License Agreement in connection with (y) the aggregate debt and equity commitments funded to LMC prior to and/or in connection with the consummation of the Merger or (z) any financing activities (including debt and equity commitments) undertaken by or on behalf of the SPAC following the consummation of the Merger. To the extent of any conflict between the License Agreement and this Section 5, this Section 5 shall control and the License Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent required to be consistent with this Section 5.

From and after the date hereof, as and when requested by any Party, each Party will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and will take, or cause to be taken, all such further actions, in each case as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

9.Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, LMC shall not issue or sell, and Workhorse shall not purchase or acquire, any shares of common stock which, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock then beneficially owned by Workhorse and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder) would result in the beneficial ownership by the Workhorse and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the SPAC at or following the Merger (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). Upon the written or oral request of Workhorse, LMC shall promptly (but not later than one (1) business day) confirm orally or in writing to Workhorse the number of shares of common stock then outstanding. Workhorse and LMC shall each cooperate in good faith in the determinations required hereby and the application hereof. Workhorse’s written certification to LMC of the applicability of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the resulting effect thereof hereunder at any time, shall be conclusive with respect to the applicability thereof and such result absent manifest error.

Re: Indication of Interest to Partner with Lordstown

Dear Xxxxx:

Further to our agreement of June 16, 2020, DiamondPeak Holdings Corp. ("DiamondPeak", "we" or the "Buyer") would like to reconfirm our interest in exploring the possibility of bringing Lordstown Motors Corp. (the "Company", "Lordstown", "you" or the "Seller") public through our SPAC.

As discussed, please find set out below the principal terms and timing of our revised proposal for the potential transaction:


Purchase Price						We propose to partner with Lordstown to bring the Company public at an enterprise value of $950 million. Based on the various assumptions set forth in Appendix I, the transaction would result in the current Company stockholders holding approximately 58% of the public company (excluding any equity incentive plan).
Capitalization and Financing						We will finance the transaction with equity capital provided by DiamondPeak and investors participating in a private placement of common stock. The equity capital will consist of the $280 million currently in trust in DiamondPeak, along with $150 million expected to be raised concurrently with the transaction in addition to $75 million of which will be funded by General Motors Company ("GM") on terms to be agreed with GM. The terms of GM's financing will incorporate the emissions credit purchase agreement between GM and Lordstown. We will provide the Seller with financing certainty in a form acceptable to Seller prior to the signing of definitive documentation. The transaction will also provide $415 million of primary proceeds to Lordstown's for the production and marketing of the Endurance. Post completion of the transaction, the SPAC entity and ticker will be amended to reflect Lordstown designations.
Proposed Governance						The makeup of the combined company board will be agreed in definitive documentation and will reflect DiamondPeak appointing at least two directors and GM appointing one director


Due Diligence/Timing						We will continue our due diligence and anticipate conducting a round of confidential pre-marketing meetings as soon as Monday. We will continue to focus our efforts on the most critical elements of the business/operations, competitive and market dynamics and forward performance drivers. DiamondPeak and its agents and representatives will require full and complete access to the books and records, files, documents and facilities related to the Company, and access to the Company's employees, consultants, accountants, legal counsel, and other agents and representatives in order to permit us to promptly complete our due diligence investigation.
Transaction Overview & Timing						We anticipate closing the transaction ~90 days post announcement, after filing of the proxy and applicable regulatory and other approvals (including from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and to satisfy NASDAQ). We will have until closing to conduct a public investor roadshow and analyst day(s).
Equity Incentive Plan						To help attract and retain key talent, we will work with you to establish appropriate equity incentive plans that leverage the benefits of being a public company and provide employees the ability to participate in the performance of the Company.
Lock-up period						To illustrate alignment of interests across DiamondPeak and the existing Lordstown shareholders, we would suggest instituting a lock-up period for all shares received at the closing of the transaction. Shares received by Xxxxx Xxxx, Workhorse, GM and any other key shareholders identified during diligence and the DiamondPeak founder shares will be subject to a lock-up period until the earlier of(i) one year after the completion of the business combination or (ii) subsequent to the initial business combination if the last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial business combination.
Exclusivity						In order to induce DiamondPeak to commit the substantial resources and to incur the expenses necessary to negotiate and execute definitive agreements and thereafter close the proposed transaction, we will need to extend the period of exclusivity with the Company for a further 60 days from the date hereof. The exclusivity period will also provide us with a window of opportunity prior to deal-announcement to pre-market the story with key DiamondPeak shareholders and ascertain their confidence in the transaction. The parties hereby agree that the terms of the such exclusivity period are as follows: Until the Company provides written notice to DiamondPeak, which notice may not be provided until at least 60 days after the date hereof (unless DiamondPeak and Lordstown have agreed in writing to terminate discussions), it will not, and will cause its affiliates, employees, agents, officers, directors, representatives, advisors and major shareholders not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, enter into or continue discussions, negotiations, transactions with, or encourage or respond to any inquiries or proposals by, or provide any information to, any person (other than DiamondPeak and its agents, representatives and advisors) concerning any merger, sale of ownership interests or all or a material portion of the assets of the Company, recapitalization or similar transaction, (ii) commence, continue or renew any due diligence investigation regarding the Company (other than with DiamondPeak and its agents, representatives and advisors), or (iii) pursue or re-initiate any discussions regarding an initial public offering of the Company.


Proposed Marketing Gameplan						Upon confirmation and agreement from the Lordstown team, we will seek to engage in confidential pre-marketing meetings with one targeted group of wall-crossed investors, including those Lordstown already met during financing rounds as well as other key DiamondPeak shareholders. Once DiamondPeak and Lordstown are collectively comfortable with the anticipated market receptivity, we can then publicly-announce the deal before embarking on a more comprehensive marketing process.
Fees and Expenses						Except as provided in the definitive agreements for the transaction, each party will bear its own expenses in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, whether or not such transaction is consummated.
Confidentiality						The parties each agree that they will not, without the prior written consent of the other, disclose the existence of this letter, the terms hereof or the existence or status of negotiations pursuant hereto, except to such of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents who have a need to know in order to consummate the transaction contemplated in this letter; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any disclosure which, in the opinion of the attorneys of either party, is necessary to comply with applicable laws; provided that Lordstown may provide a copy of this letter to GM.
Non-Binding Indication of Interest						This proposal letter is not to be considered an offer to purchase or an agreement of purchase and sale, but is merely an expression of our interest in the proposed transaction generally on the terms outlined herein. Except for this section and the provisions of the Exclusivity, Fees and Expenses and Confidentiality sections hereof, which are intended to be binding on the parties, this proposal letter is not binding. Neither party shall be bound or obligated to negotiate, to enter into or to perform any agreement with any person or entity or proceed with any degree of efforts unless and until written definitive agreements are executed by all parties thereto and, in such event, only to the extent set forth in such definitive agreements. This proposal letter shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of laws or rules of any jurisdiction.

This proposal has been approved by senior members of DiamondPeak who are responsible for all aspects of the transaction process.

We look forward to working with you further on this transaction. We are prepared to work diligently and expeditiously to complete this transaction as promptly as practicable. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx (xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx, 212-716-2042), Xxxxx Xxxxxxx (xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx, 347-610-0076) or Xxxxxxx Xxx (xxxxxxx.xxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx, 212-716- 2077).

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 3.01 Registration Statement

(a) Filing. Within forty-five (45) days after the date of the consummation of the Merger (the “Filing Deadline”), Parent shall file with the SEC (at Parent’s sole cost and expense) a Registration Statement registering the resale of the Registrable Securities, and Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the 60th calendar day (or 120th calendar day if the SEC notifies Parent that it will “review” any or all of the Registration Statement) following the Filing Deadline (such date, the “Effectiveness Date”); provided, however, that Parent’s obligations to include the Registrable Securities held by any Stockholder in the Registration Statement are contingent upon such Stockholder furnishing in writing to Parent such information regarding such Stockholder, the securities of Parent held by such Stockholder and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably requested by Parent to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Parent may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations.

(b) Effectiveness. Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the continuous effectiveness of the Registration Statement until the earliest of (i) the date on which the all Registerable Securities may be resold without volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, (ii) the date on which such Registerable Securities have actually been sold and (iii) the date which is two (2) years after the consummation of the Merger. For purposes of

clarification, any failure by Parent to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve Parent of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement set forth in this Section 3.01.

(c) Delay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require any Stockholder not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if Adverse Disclosure would be required (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that Parent may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days per occasion, or more than one hundred and twenty (120) total calendar days, during any twelve (12)-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from Parent of the happening of any Suspension Event (which notice shall not contain material non-public information) during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each Stockholder agrees that (i) such Stockholder will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Common Stock under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until such Stockholder receives copies of a supplemental or amended Prospectus (which Parent agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives written notice from Parent that such Stockholder may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) such Stockholder will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by Parent unless otherwise required by Applicable Law or subpoena. If so directed by Parent, each Stockholder will deliver to Parent or, in such Stockholder’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the Prospectus covering the Common Stock in such Stockholder’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the Prospectus covering the Common Stock shall not apply (i) to the extent such Stockholder is required to retain a copy of such Prospectus (1) to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (2) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

Section 3.02 Underwritten Offering.

(a) Right to Underwritten Offerings. Subject to the conditions of this Section 3.02, any Stockholder may, by providing written notice to Parent, request to sell all or part of its Registrable Securities that are registered by the Registration Statement contemplated by Section 3.01 and not subject to Article II hereof (any such Stockholder a “Demanding Holder” and, collectively, the “Demanding Holders”) in an Underwritten Offering. Each request for an Underwritten Offering (a “Underwritten Offering Request”) shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be offered and sold by such Stockholder pursuant to the Underwritten Offering. Promptly (but in any event within ten (10) days) after receipt of an Underwritten Offering Request, Parent shall give written notice of the Underwritten Offering Request to all other Stockholders. Such notice shall offer such Stockholders the opportunity to include in the Underwritten Offering such number of Registrable Securities as each such Stockholder may request. Each such Stockholder shall make such request in writing to Parent within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of any such notice from Parent. Parent shall not be required to effect an Underwritten Offering unless the reasonably expected aggregate gross

proceeds from the offering of the Registrable Securities to be registered in connection with such Underwritten Offering are at least $75,000,000 (the “Minimum Amount”) and shall not be required to effect an underwritten offering pursuant to an Underwritten Offering within ninety (90) days of the completion of a previous Underwritten Offering.

(b) Selection of Underwriters and Number of Registrations. Parent shall, upon receipt of such Underwritten Offering Request, enter into an underwriting agreement in a form as is customary in Underwritten Offerings of equity securities with the managing Underwriter or Underwriters selected by Parent after consultation with the Demanding Holders and shall take all such other reasonable actions as are requested by the managing Underwriter or Underwriters to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; provided, however, that Parent shall have no obligation to facilitate or participate in more than two (2) Underwritten Offerings pursuant to this Section 3.02 for any Stockholder (and not more than four (4) Underwritten Offerings for all Stockholders in the aggregate) (the “Underwritten Offerings Cap”); provided further that if an Underwritten Offering is commenced but terminated prior to the pricing thereof for any reason, such Underwritten Offering will not be counted as an Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 3.02.

(c) Underwriting Agreement. In connection with any Underwritten Offering contemplated by this Section 3.02, the underwriting agreement into which each Demanding Holder, any participating Stockholder and Parent shall enter shall contain such representations, covenants, indemnities (subject to Article V) and other rights and obligations as are customary in underwritten offerings of equity securities. If requested by the Underwriters in connection with any Underwritten Offering, any Stockholder that holds Registrable Securities and has the right to participate in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 3.02(a) (other than those Stockholders who are not participating in the Underwritten Offering and who together with such Stockholder’s Affiliates “beneficially own” (as such term is defined under and determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) less than 3.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock) shall enter into a customary lockup agreement in connection therewith not to exceed ninety (90) days from the pricing of such Underwritten Offering.

(d) Reduction of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering, in good faith, advises Parent, the Demanding Holders and other participating Stockholders that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders desire to sell, taken together with all Common Stock or other equity securities that Parent or any other Stockholder desires to sell and the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which a Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then Parent shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as follows:

i.first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and other participating Stockholders pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder and participating

Stockholder has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and participating Stockholders have requested be included in such Underwritten Offering that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

i.second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), Common Stock or other equity securities that Parent desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and

i.third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i) and clause (ii), Common Stock or other equity securities of persons or entities that Parent is obligated to register in a Registration pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons, pro rata, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

(e) Each Demanding Holder and participating Stockholder shall have the right to withdraw all or any portion of its Registrable Securities included in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 3.02 for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to Parent and the Underwriter or Underwriters of its intention to withdraw from such Underwritten Offering prior to the public announcement of such Underwritten Offering and, in the case of the Demanding Holder that withdraws all of its Registrable Securities, it shall no longer be considered an Underwritten Offering for purposes of the Underwritten Offerings Cap for that Demanding Holder; provided, however, that upon the withdrawal of an amount of Registrable Securities that results in the remaining amount of Registrable Securities included by the Demanding Holders and participating Stockholders in such Underwritten Offering being less than the Minimum Amount, Parent may cease all efforts to complete the Underwritten Offering and, for the avoidance of doubt, if such efforts are ceased, such Underwritten Offering shall not count against the Underwritten Offerings Cap, in the aggregate or for any Stockholder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with an Underwritten Offering prior to its withdrawal under this Section 3.02.

Section 3.03 Piggyback Registration Rights.

(a) If at any time Parent proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an Underwritten Offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of stockholders of Parent on a form that would permit registration of Registrable Securities, other than a registration statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Stockholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of Parent, (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan or (v) on Form S-4, then Parent shall give written notice of such proposed filing to all of the Stockholders as soon as practicable but not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of such registration statement, which notice shall

(A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Stockholders the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such Stockholders may request in writing within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice (in the case of an “overnight” or “bought” offering, such requests must be made by the Stockholders within one (1) Business Day after the delivery of any such notice by Parent) (such Registration a “Piggyback Registration”); provided, however, that if Parent has been advised by the managing Underwriter(s) that the inclusion of Registrable Securities for sale for the benefit of the Stockholders will have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Common Stock in the Underwritten Offering, then (A) if no Registrable Securities can be included in the Underwritten Offering in the opinion of the managing Underwriter(s), Parent shall not be required to offer such opportunity to the Stockholders or (B) if any Registrable Securities can be included in the Underwritten Offering in the opinion of the managing Underwriter(s), then the amount of Registrable Securities to be offered for the accounts of Stockholders shall be determined based on the provisions of this Section 3.03.

(b) Subject to this Section 3.03, Parent shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Stockholders pursuant to this Section 3.03 to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of Parent included in such Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. If no written request for inclusion from a Stockholder is received within the specified time, each such Stockholder shall have no further right to participate in such Underwritten Offering. All such Stockholders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this Section 3.03 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by Parent.

(c) If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering that is to be a Piggyback Registration, in good faith, advises Parent and the Stockholders participating in the Piggyback Registration that the dollar amount or number of shares of Common Stock that Parent desires to sell, taken together with (i) the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Stockholders hereunder, (ii) the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant to this Section3.03, and (iii) the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy- back registration rights of other stockholders of Parent, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

i.If the Registration is undertaken for Parent’s account, Parent shall include in any such Registration:

(A) first, shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that Parent desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

(B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), pro rata to (i) the Registrable Securities of Stockholders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3.03 and (ii) shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of Parent, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

ii.If the Registration is pursuant to a demand by persons or entities other than the Stockholders pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements, then Parent shall include in any such Registration:

(A) first, shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than the Stockholders, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

(B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), pro rata to (i) the Registrable Securities of Stockholders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3.03, (ii) shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that Parent desires to sell, and (iii) shares of Common Stock or other equity securities for the account of other persons or entities that Parent is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

iii.Any Stockholder shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to Parent and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the public announcement of such Underwritten Offering. Parent (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the SEC in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this Section 3.03.

(d) For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof shall not be counted as a Registration effected under Section 3.02 hereof.

(c) Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of Parent pursuant to a Registration initiated by Parent hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by Parent and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lockup agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

(d) Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from Parent that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Stockholders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until he, she or it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that Parent hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until he, she or it is advised in writing by Parent that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed (any such period, a “Suspension Period”). If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require Parent to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to Parent for reasons beyond Parent’s control, Parent may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time determined in good faith by Parent to be necessary for such purpose (any such period, a “Blackout Period”). In the event Parent exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Stockholders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. Parent shall immediately notify the Stockholders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.04(d). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.04, in no event shall any Suspension Period or any Blackout Period continue for more than ninety (90) days in the aggregate during any 365-day period.

(e) Reporting Obligations. As long as any Stockholder shall own Registrable Securities, Parent, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by Parent after the Effective Date pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Stockholders with true and complete copies of all such filings. Parent further covenants that it shall take such further

action as any Stockholder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Stockholder to sell shares of Common Stock held by such Stockholder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144, including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Stockholder, Parent shall deliver to such Stockholder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether Parent has complied with such requirements.

Section 3.05 Indemnification and Contribution

(a) Parent agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Stockholder, its officers and directors and each person who controls such Stockholder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) caused by any Misstatement or alleged Misstatement, except insofar as the such Misstatement or alleged Misstatement caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to Parent by such Stockholder expressly for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus. Parent shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Stockholder.

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Stockholder is participating, such Stockholder shall furnish to Parent in writing such information and affidavits as Parent reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify Parent, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls Parent (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any Misstatement, but only to the extent that such Misstatement is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Stockholder expressly for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Stockholders holding Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Stockholder holding Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Stockholder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Stockholders shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of Parent.

(c) Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided. that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of

more than one counsel (plus local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(d) The indemnification provided for under this Article III shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. Parent and each Stockholder participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event Parent’s or such Stockholder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

(e) If the indemnification provided under Section 3.05 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Stockholder under this Section 3.05(e) shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Stockholder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 3.05(a), (b) and (c) above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection Section 3.05(e) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 3.05(e). No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 3.05(e) from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

CONFIDENTIAL

SUPPORT AGREEMENT

This SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of August 1, 2020, is entered into by and between DiamondPeak Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation “Parent”), and the undersigned stockholder (the “Stockholder” and, together with Parent, each a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”) of Lordstown Motors Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the August 1, 2020 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Parent and DPL Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, as of the date of this Agreement, the Stockholder is the record holder, beneficial (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, which meaning shall apply for all purposes of this Agreement whenever the term “beneficial” or

“beneficially” is used) owner, and has full voting power over the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), of the Company set forth on the Stockholder’s signature page hereto;

WHEREAS, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub have entered into the Merger Agreement, which provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger, pursuant to the provisions of the DGCL;

WHEREAS, the Stockholder acknowledges that, as a condition and material

inducement to Parent and Merger Sub’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent has required that (1) certain stockholders specified in the Merger Agreement, collectively representing more than a majority of the outstanding stock of the Company, promptly after the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours and (2) prior to the Closing, the holders of 95% of the issued and outstanding Shares enter into Support Agreements, including written consents in the form attached hereto as Annex B (each, a “Written Consent”), and, in order to induce Parent and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement and consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Stockholder is willing to enter into this Agreement;

WHEREAS, Parent desires that the Stockholder agree, and the Stockholder is willing to agree, subject to the limitations herein, not to Transfer (as defined below) any of its Shares, and to enter into the Written Consent and otherwise vote its Shares in a manner so as to facilitate consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and to undertake certain additional obligations pursuant to this Agreement;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Stockholder is executing and delivering a Written Consent, constituting the Stockholder’s consent to, and vote to adopt, the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Stockholder is executing and delivering the Registration Rights and Lockup Agreement in the form attached hereto as Annex C; and

WHEREAS, Parent and the Stockholder desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

VOTING AND TRANSFER OF SHARES

Section 1.01. Voting.

(a) The Stockholder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees, during the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the Expiration Date (the “Applicable Period”), at each meeting of the stockholders of the Company (a “Meeting”) and at each adjournment or postponement thereof, and in connection with each action or approval by consent in writing of the stockholders of the Company (a “Consent Solicitation”), to cause to be present in person or represented by proxy and to vote or cause to be voted (or express consent or dissent in writing, as applicable) that number of Shares set forth on the Stockholder’s signature page hereto and any additional Shares that are hereafter held of record or beneficially owned by the Stockholder (collectively, the “Subject Shares”) that are entitled to vote (or express consent or dissent in writing, as applicable), in each case as follows:

(i) in favor of any proposal for stockholders of the Company to adopt the Merger Agreement and approving any other matters necessary for consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger;

(ii) in favor of any proposal to adjourn a Meeting at which there is a proposal for stockholders of the Company to adopt the Merger Agreement to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to adopt the Merger Agreement or if there are not sufficient Shares present in person or represented by proxy at such Meeting to constitute a quorum;

(iii) against any proposal providing for an Acquisition Transaction or the adoption of an agreement to enter into an Acquisition Transaction;

(iv) against any proposal for any amendment or modification of the Company’s Organizational Documents that would change the voting rights of any Shares

or the number of votes required to approval any proposal, including the vote required to adopt the Merger Agreement; and

(v) against any action, transaction or agreement that would, or would reasonably be expected to (A) result in a breach of any representation or warranty or covenant of the Company under the Merger Agreement or the Stockholder under this Agreement or any of the conditions to the consummation of the Merger under the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled on a timely basis, (B) prevent, delay or impair consummation of the Transactions or dilute, in any material respect, the benefit of the Transactions to Parent, or (C) facilitate any proposal relating to an Acquisition Transaction or any agreement to enter into an Acquisition Transaction.

(b) Any vote required to be cast or consent or dissent in writing required to be expressed pursuant to this Section 1.01 shall be cast or expressed in accordance with the applicable procedures relating thereto so as to ensure that it is duly counted for purposes of determining that a quorum is present (if applicable) and for purposes of recording the results of that vote or Consent Solicitation. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein requires the Stockholder (or entitles any proxy of the Stockholder) to convert, exercise or exchange any options, warrants or convertible securities in order to obtain any underlying Shares.

(c) The Stockholder agrees not to enter into any commitment, agreement, understanding or similar arrangement with any Person to vote or give voting instructions or express consent or dissent in writing in any manner inconsistent with the terms of this Section 1.01.

Section 1.02. Proxy. The Stockholder, with respect to the Subject Shares, irrevocably grants a proxy appointing Parent and any designee of Parent, and each of them individually and with full power of substitution, as the Stockholder’s true and lawful attorney-in- fact and proxy, for and in the Stockholder’s name, place and stead, to be counted as represented by proxy and vote, at any time during the Applicable Period, each Subject Share as the Stockholder’s proxy, at every Meeting (including at any adjournment or postponement thereof) and to execute and deliver on behalf of the Stockholder any written expression of consent or dissent relating to the Subject Shares in order to cause the Stockholder to perform the covenants set forth in Section 1.01; provided, however, that the Stockholder’s grant of the proxy and power of attorney contemplated by this Section 1.02 will be effective with respect to a Meeting or Consent Solicitation if, and only if, the Stockholder has not delivered or caused to be delivered to the Secretary of the Company (or the Person undertaking the Consent Solicitation, as applicable), at least two (2) Business Days’ prior to the Meeting or deadline for the Consent Solicitation, as applicable, a duly executed irrevocable proxy directing that the Subject Shares be voted in accordance with Section 1.01 or a duly executed irrevocable expression of consent or dissent in writing with respect to the Subject Shares in accordance with Section 1.01, as applicable. The proxy described in this Section 1.02, if it becomes effective, is limited solely to the voting of Subject Shares (or expressing consent or dissent in writing with respect thereto) solely in order to cause the Stockholder to perform the covenants set forth in Section 1.01. The Stockholder hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 1.02, if it becomes effective, is given in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement and such irrevocable proxy is given to secure the performance of the obligations of the Stockholder under this Agreement. The proxy

described in this Section 1.02, if it becomes effective, is coupled with an interest, including for the purposes of Section 212 of the DGCL, revokes all prior proxies granted by the Stockholder with respect to the Subject Shares and is irrevocable, provided that this proxy shall automatically terminate at the Expiration Date. The power of attorney granted by the Stockholder, if it becomes effective, is a durable power of attorney and shall survive the bankruptcy, dissolution, death or incapacity of the Stockholder. For Subject Shares as to which the Stockholder is the beneficial owner but not the holder of record, the Stockholder shall cause any holder of record of such Subject Shares to grant to Parent a proxy to the same effect as that described in this Section 1.02. Parent may terminate this proxy with respect to the Stockholder at any time at its sole election by written notice provided to the Stockholder.

Section 1.03. No Transfers. During the Applicable Period, the Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly: (a) sell, convey, assign, transfer (including by succession or otherwise by operation of Law), exchange, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber or dispose of any Subject Shares (or any right, title or interest therein) or any rights to acquire any securities or equity interests of the Company; (b) deposit any Subject Shares or any rights to acquire any securities or equity interests of the Company into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or any other arrangement with respect to any Subject Shares or any rights to acquire any securities or equity interests of the Company or, except as otherwise provided in Section 1.02, grant or purport to grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto; (c) enter into any contract, option, call or other arrangement or undertaking, whether or not in writing, with respect to the sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer (including by succession or otherwise by operation of Law), exchange, pledge, hypothecation or other encumbrance or disposition, or limitation on the voting rights, of any Subject Shares (or any right, title or interest therein) or any rights to acquire any securities or equity interests of the Company; (d) otherwise grant, permit or suffer the creation of any Liens on any Subject Shares (other than applicable restrictions on transfer under U.S. state or federal securities or “blue sky” Laws) or (e) commit or agree to take any of the foregoing actions or discuss, negotiate or make an offer or enter into a commitment, agreement, understanding or similar arrangement to take any of the foregoing actions (any action described in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e), a “Transfer”); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Transfers (i) between the Stockholder and any Affiliate of the Stockholder, (ii) to a trust for the benefit of the Stockholder or to any member of a Stockholder’s immediate family or a trust for the benefit of such immediate family member or (iii) by will, other testamentary document or under the laws of intestacy upon the death of Stockholder, in each case, so long as, prior to and as a condition to the effectiveness of any such Transfer, such Affiliate or transferee executes and delivers to Parent a joinder to this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Annex B. Any Transfer or action in violation of this Section 1.03 shall be void ab initio. If any involuntary Transfer of any of Subject Shares occurs, the transferee (and all transferees and subsequent transferees of such transferee) shall take and hold such Subject Shares subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect during the Applicable Period. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 1.03 shall prevent entry into or performance of any obligations pursuant to the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement.

Section 1.04. Stop Transfer. The Stockholder shall not request that the Company register any transfer of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share or other uncertificated interest representing any Subject Shares made in violation of the restrictions set forth in Section

1.03 during the Applicable Period and hereby authorizes and instructs the Company to instruct its transfer agent to enter a stop transfer order with respect to all of the Subject Shares, subject to the provisions hereof; provided, that any such stop transfer order will immediately be withdrawn and terminated by the Company following the termination of this Agreement.

Section 1.05. Waiver of Appraisal Rights. The Stockholder hereby agrees not to assert, exercise or perfect, directly or indirectly, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives, any appraisal rights (including under Section 262 of the DGCL) with respect to the Merger and any rights to dissent with respect to the Merger (collectively, “Appraisal Rights”).

(b) The Stockholder represents that as to each and every claim released hereunder, the Stockholder has received the advice of legal counsel with regard to the releases contained herein, and having been so advised, specifically waives the benefit of the provisions of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California which provides as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.

The Stockholder also specifically waives any right or benefits that it has or may have under any similar provision of the statutory or non-statutory law of any other jurisdiction. The Stockholder acknowledges that the Releasors may hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to the facts the Releasors now know or believe to be true with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement; however, the Releasors intend that the general releases herein given shall be and remain in full force and effect, notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such different or additional facts.

Section 1.07. Public Announcements; Filings; Disclosures.

(a) The Stockholder (and the Stockholder’s controlled Affiliates) shall not issue any press release or make any other public announcement or public statement (a “Public Communication”) with respect to this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent may be withheld in Parent’s sole discretion), except (i) as required by applicable Law or court process, in which case the Stockholder shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide Parent and Parent’s legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Public Communication in advance of its issuance and shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any such comments or (ii) with respect to a Public Communication that is consistent with prior disclosures by Parent; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to any disclosure required to be made by the Stockholder to a Governmental Entity so long as such disclosure is consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement and the disclosures made by the Company and Parent pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.07(a), if the Stockholder is a director or officer of the Company, in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company, he or she may make public statements in such capacity to the extent permitted under the Merger Agreement.

(b) The Stockholder hereby consents to and authorizes the Company and Parent to publish and disclose in any Public Communication or in any disclosure required by the SEC and in the proxy statement prepared by Parent and filed with the SEC relating to the Parent Special Meeting (the “Proxy Statement”) the Stockholder’s identity and ownership of Subject Shares

and the Stockholder’s obligations under this Agreement (the “Stockholder Information”), consents to the filing of this Agreement to the extent required by applicable Law to be filed with the SEC or any regulatory authority relating to the Merger, and agrees to cooperate with Parent in connection with such filings, including providing Stockholder Information reasonably requested by Parent.

(a) The Stockholder acknowledges that the Stockholder has read Section 5.17 (Exclusivity) of the Merger Agreement. In addition, the Stockholder, solely in the Stockholder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company, agrees not to, directly or indirectly, take any action that would violate Section 5.17 of the Merger Agreement if such Stockholder were deemed a “Representative” of the Company for purposes of Section 5.17 of the Merger Agreement; provided, the foregoing shall not serve to limit or restrict any actions taken by such Stockholder in any capacity other than as a stockholder of the Company, to the extent such actions are in compliance with or required under Section 5.17 of the Merger Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 1.08(a), the Stockholder may participate in discussions and negotiations with any Person making an a proposal relating to an Acquisition Transaction (or its Representatives) with respect to such proposal if (i) the Company is engaging in discussions or negotiations with such Person in compliance with Section 5.17 of the Merger Agreement and (ii) such Stockholder’s negotiations and discussions are in conjunction with and ancillary to the Company’s discussions and negotiations.

Section 1.09. No Agreement as Director or Officer. The Stockholder is entering into this Agreement solely in the Stockholder’s capacity as record or beneficial owner of Subject Shares and nothing herein is intended to or shall limit or affect any actions taken by the Stockholder or any employee, officer, director (or person performing similar functions), partner or other Affiliate (including, for this purpose, any appointee or representative of the Stockholder to the board of directors of the Company) of the Stockholder, solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company (or a Subsidiary of the Company) or other fiduciary capacity for the Company’s stockholders.

The Stockholder shall promptly notify (and in any event within two Business Days) Parent of the number of any additional Shares with respect to which the Stockholder becomes the holder of record or acquires beneficial ownership, if any, after the execution of this Agreement and before the Expiration Date, which Shares shall, for the avoidance of doubt, automatically become Subject Shares in accordance with Section 1.01.

Section 1.11. No Adverse Act. The Stockholder hereby agrees that, except as expressly provided or permitted by this Agreement, the Stockholder shall not, and shall cause its

Affiliates not to, without the prior written consent of Parent (in Parent’s sole discretion), directly or indirectly, take or permit any action that would in any way (a) restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of the Stockholder’s obligations hereunder, (b) make any representation or warranty of the Stockholder herein untrue or inaccurate or (c) otherwise restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement. The Stockholder shall notify Parent in writing promptly of (i) any fact, event or circumstance that would cause, or would reasonably be expected to cause or constitute, an untruth or inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Stockholder herein and (ii) the receipt by the Stockholder of any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with this Agreement; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this sentence shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available to any Party.

Section 1.12. No Litigation. The Stockholder hereby agrees not to commence, maintain or participate in, or facilitate, assist or encourage, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, suit, proceeding or cause of action, in law or in equity, in any court or before any Governmental Entity (a) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin or delay the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (including any claim seeking to enjoin or delay the consummation of the Merger), (b) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of any Person in connection with the Merger Agreement or the Transactions, (c) seeking Appraisal Rights in connection with the Merger or (d) otherwise relating to the Merger Agreement, this Agreement or the Merger or other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement.

Section 1.13. Further Assurances. The Stockholder shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such further certificates, instruments and other documents and to take such further actions as Parent may reasonably request for the purpose of effectively carrying out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
