WHEREAS, the Company and the Warrant Agent are parties to that certain Warrant Agreement, dated as of June 18, 2018 and filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on June 22, 2018 (the “Existing Warrant Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company has issued 25,800,000 warrants (the “Public Warrants”) in its initial public offering and 8,830,000 private placement warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”), each representing the right to purchase one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001, of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”); and

WHEREAS, the terms of the Warrants are governed by the Existing Warrant Agreement and capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined, shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Existing Warrant Agreement; and

WHEREAS, effective as of January 21, 2019, the Company, TB Acquisition Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Thunder Bridge (“Merger Sub”), Hawk Parent Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Repay”), and CC Payment Holdings L.L.C., solely in its capacity as the securityholder representative, entered into a Second Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Merger Agreement provides, among other things, (i) that the Company will domesticate from a Cayman Islands exempted company to a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”) and (ii) Merger Sub will merge with and into Repay with Repay continuing as the surviving entity and a subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger” and together with the Domestication and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”), and pursuant to which, (A) each Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Domestication shall remain outstanding and shall be automatically converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Surviving Pubco Class A Share (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and (B) each Warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the Domestication, shall represent the right to acquire Surviving Pubco Class A Shares, on the same contractual terms and conditions as were in effect immediately prior to the Domestication, under the terms of the Existing Warrant Agreement as amended by this Agreement;

WHEREAS, upon consummation of the Domestication, as provided in Section 4.4 of the Existing Warrant Agreement, the Warrants will no longer be exercisable for Ordinary Shares but instead will be exercisable (subject to the terms and conditions of the Existing Warrant Agreement as amended hereby) for a number of Surviving Pubco Class A Shares equal to the number of Ordinary Shares for which the Warrants were exercisable immediately prior to the Domestication (subject to the terms and conditions of the Existing Warrant Agreement as amended hereby); and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that the consummation of the Transactions will constitute a Business Combination (as defined in Section 3.2 of the Existing Warrant Agreement); and

WHEREAS, it is a condition to the closing of the Transactions, among other things, the Parent Warrantholders’ Approval (as defined in the Merger Agreement) has been obtained; and

WHEREAS, Section 9.8 of the Existing Warrant Agreement provides that the Existing Warrant Agreement may be amended with the vote or written consent of the registered holders of 65% of the then outstanding Public Warrants.

WHEREAS, at the Parent Warrantholder Meeting (as defined in the Merger Agreement), holders of at least 65% of the Public Warrants approved that, immediately prior to the Domestication, each Warrant shall become exercisable for one-quarter of one Ordinary Share with an exercise price of $2.875 per one-quarter share ($11.50 per whole share) and each holder of a Warrant shall receive a special distribution of $1.50 per Warrant; and

The Company in its sole discretion may lower the Warrant Price at any time prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below) for a period of not less than twenty (20) Business Days, provided, that the Company shall provide at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of such reduction to Registered Holders of the Warrants and, provided further that any such reduction shall be identical among all of the Warrants.”

1.6 Form of Warrant Certificate. The second and third paragraphs of Exhibit A to the Existing Warrant Agreement are hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

“Each Warrant is initially exercisable for one-quarter of one fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Share. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of any Warrant. If, upon the exercise of Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in an Ordinary Share, the Company will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number. The number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

The initial Exercise Price per Ordinary Share for any Warrant is equal to $2.875 per one-quarter share ($11.50 per whole share); provided however, that a Warrant may not be exercised for a fractional share, so that only a multiple of four Warrants may be exercised at a given time. The Exercise Price is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in the Warrant Agreement.”
