NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and the mutual promises set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, each intending to be legally bound, hereby agree
as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Consent to Transactions and Related Matters. As promptly as
reasonably practicable, and in any event within two (2) Business Days following the date on which the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, the Shareholder, in his, her or its capacity as a
stockholder of the Company, shall duly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered, as applicable) the Company Shareholder Written Consent contemplated by Section 5.15 (Company Shareholder Approval) of the Business Combination
Agreement, pursuant to which the Shareholder shall approve the Business Combination Agreement, the Ancillary Documents to which the Company is a party and the Transactions (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company Merger and the
Company Preferred Shares Conversion). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the Closing, (i) to the extent that it is necessary or advisable, in each case, as reasonably determined by XXXX and the Company, for any matters,
actions or proposals to be approved by the Shareholder in connection with, or otherwise in furtherance of, the Transactions as contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement and/or the Ancillary Documents, the Shareholder shall (A) vote (or
cause to be voted) the Subject Company Shares in favor of and/or provide consent to, as applicable, approve any such matters, actions or proposals promptly following written request thereof from ARYA or the Company, as applicable, and (B) if
applicable, cause the Subject Company Shares to be counted as present at any meeting of the Company Shareholders for purposes of constituting a quorum in connection with any vote contemplated by clause (A); provided, that nothing in
this Agreement shall preclude the Shareholder from exercising full power and authority to vote the Subject Company Shares in the Shareholder’s discretion for or against any proposal submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company (1)
that decreases the amount or changes the form of the consideration payable to the Shareholder in any material respect or (2) that imposes any material restrictions or additional conditions on the consummation of the Mergers or the payment of
the HoldCo Shares to the Shareholder, in the case of either clause (1) or (2), not contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or the Ancillary Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the Closing, the
Shareholder shall vote (and cause to be voted) the Subject Company Shares against and withhold consent or approval with respect to any matter, action or proposal that would reasonably be expected to result in (X) a breach of any of the
Company’s covenants, agreements or obligations under the Business Combination Agreement, or (Y) any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Sections 6.1 or 6.2 of the Business Combination Agreement not being satisfied.
2. Other Covenants and Agreements.
(a) The Shareholder hereby agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in any such agreement, (i) each of the agreements set forth on Schedule B hereto shall be automatically terminated and of no further force and effect (including any provisions of any such agreement that, by its terms, survive
such termination) effective as of, and subject to and conditioned upon the occurrence of, the Closing and (ii) upon such termination neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates (including the other Group Companies and, from and after the
Company Merger Effective Time, Holdco, ARYA and their respective Affiliates) shall have any further obligations or Liabilities under or with respect to each such agreement.
(b) The Shareholder hereby agrees to be bound by and subject to
(i) Sections 5.3(a) (Confidentiality) and 5.4(a) (Public Announcements) of the Business Combination Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, as if the Shareholder is directly
party thereto, (ii) the first sentence of Section 5.6(a) (Exclusive Dealing) (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the hanging paragraph at the end of Section 5.6 of the Business Combination Agreement as it pertains to Section 5.6(b) of the
Business Combination Agreement) and Section 8.18 (Trust Account Waiver) of the Business Combination Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to the Company, as if the Shareholder is directly party thereto.
(c) The Shareholder shall use his, her or its reasonable best efforts to
promptly execute and deliver all additional agreements, documents or instruments, take, or cause to be taken, all actions and provide, or cause to be provided, all additional information or other materials as may be necessary or advisable, in
each case, as reasonably determined by ARYA and the Company, in connection with, or otherwise in furtherance of, the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or this Agreement, including the termination of and waivers of
rights under the agreements set forth on Schedule B.
(d) The Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that each of ARYA and the
Company has entered into the Business Combination Agreement in reliance upon the Shareholder entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by, and perform, or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the agreements, covenants and
obligations contained in this Agreement and but for the Shareholder entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound
2
by, and perform, or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the agreements, covenants and
obligations contained in this Agreement, ARYA and the Company would not have entered into or agreed to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.
(e) The Shareholder, solely in connection with and only for the purpose of
the Transactions, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) agrees that the Transactions shall not be deemed to constitute a Liquidating Transaction (as used herein, as defined in the Company Certificate of Incorporation) and hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally waives any rights he, she or it may have under the Company Certificate of Incorporation, or any other agreement to which the Shareholder is a party, if the Transactions were deemed to constitute a Liquidating
Transaction, including any notice rights thereunder, and (ii) hereby waives any rights he, she or it may have under any of the agreements set forth on Schedule B with respect to the Transactions.
(f) The Shareholder acknowledges that the Company may need to amend the
Company Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of the class of stock into which the Company Preferred Shares or the Company’s currently outstanding convertible promissory notes are to be converted (the “Share
Increase”) and, in connection with a conversion of any class of Company Preferred Shares or the Company’s currently outstanding convertible promissory notes, hereby agrees to take any actions reasonably requested by the Company to effect
the Share Increase, including the amendment of the Company Certificate of Incorporation (which may be included in the Company Shareholder Written Consent).
3. Shareholder Representations and Warranties. The Shareholder
represents and warrants to ARYA and the Company as follows:
(a) If the Shareholder is not an individual, the Shareholder is a
corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership or other applicable business entity duly organized or formed, as applicable, validly existing and in good standing (or the equivalent thereof, if applicable, in each case, with respect
to the jurisdictions that recognize the concept of good standing or any equivalent thereof) under the Laws of its jurisdiction of formation or organization (as applicable).
(b) If the Shareholder is not an individual, the Shareholder has the
requisite corporate, limited liability company, limited partnership or other similar power and authority and, if the Shareholder is an individual, the Shareholder has the legal capacity, to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform his,
her or its covenants, agreements and obligations hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those covenants, agreements and obligations hereunder that relate to the provisions of the Business Combination Agreement), and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate (or other similar) action on the part of the Shareholder. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and
delivered by the Shareholder and constitutes a valid, legal and binding agreement of the Shareholder (assuming that this Agreement is duly authorized, executed and delivered by ARYA and the Company), enforceable against the Shareholder in
accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other Laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights and subject to general principles of equity).
(c) No consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration
or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required on the part of the Shareholder with respect to the Shareholder’s execution, delivery or performance of his, her or its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement (including, for
the avoidance of doubt, those covenants, agreements and obligations under this Agreement that relate to the provisions of the Business Combination Agreement) or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except for any consents,
approvals, authorizations, designations, declarations, waivers or filings, the absence of which would not adversely affect the ability of the Shareholder to perform, or otherwise comply with, any of his, her or its covenants, agreements or
obligations hereunder in any material respect.
(d) None of the execution or delivery of this Agreement by the
Shareholder, the performance by the Shareholder of any of his, her or its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those covenants, agreements and obligations under this Agreement that
relate to the provisions of the Business Combination Agreement) or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or the Transactions will, directly or indirectly (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) (i) if the
Shareholder is not an individual, result in any breach of any provision of the Shareholder’s Governing Documents, (ii) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute a default or give rise to any right of termination, Consent, cancellation,
amendment, modification, suspension, revocation or acceleration under, any of the terms,
3
conditions or provisions of any shareholders, equityholders, or other Contract relating to
or affecting the ownership, voting, transfer or purchase of the Subject Company Shares, (iii) violate, or constitute a breach under, any Order or applicable Law to which the Shareholder or any of the Subject Company Shares are bound or
(iv) result in the creation of any Lien upon the Subject Company Shares, except, in the case of any of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, as would not adversely affect the ability of the Shareholder to perform, or otherwise comply with, any of his,
her or its covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder in any material respect.
(e) The Shareholder is the record and beneficial owner of the Subject
Company Shares and has valid, good and marketable title to the Subject Company Shares, free and clear of all Liens (other than transfer restrictions under applicable Securities Laws or as set forth in the Governing Documents of the Company or
any Company Shareholders Agreement). Except for the Equity Securities of the Company set forth on Schedule A hereto, together with any other Equity Securities of the Company that the Shareholder acquires record or beneficial ownership
after the date hereof that is either permitted pursuant to or acquired in accordance with Section 5.1(b)(v) of the Business Combination Agreement, the Shareholder does not own, beneficially or of record, any Equity Securities of any Group
Company or have the right to acquire any Equity Securities of any Group Company. The Shareholder has the sole right to vote (and provide consent in respect of, as applicable) the Subject Company Shares and, except for this Agreement, the
Business Combination Agreement and the Company Shareholders Agreement, the Shareholder is not party to or bound by (i) any option, warrant, purchase right, or other Contract that would (either alone or in connection with one or more events,
developments or events (including the satisfaction or waiver of any conditions precedent)) require the Shareholder to Transfer any of the Subject Company Shares or (ii) any voting trust, proxy or other Contract with respect to the voting or
Transfer of any of the Subject Company Shares that would adversely affect the ability of the Shareholder to perform, or otherwise comply with, any of his, her or its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement in any material
respect.
(f) There is no Proceeding pending or, to the Shareholder’s knowledge,
threatened against or involving the Shareholder or any of his, her or its Affiliates that, if adversely decided or resolved, would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the ability of the Shareholder to perform, or otherwise comply with,
any of his, her or its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.
(g) There is no Order or Law issued by any court of competent jurisdiction
or other Governmental Entity, or other legal restraint or prohibition relating to the Shareholder or any of his, her or its Affiliates that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the ability of the Shareholder to perform, or otherwise
comply with, any of his, her or its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.
(h) The Shareholder, on her, his or its own behalf and on behalf of her,
his or its Representatives, acknowledges, represents, warrants and agrees that (i) she, he or it and her, his or its Representatives have conducted their own independent review and analysis of, and, based thereon, have formed an independent
judgment concerning, the business, assets, condition, operations and prospects of, XXXX and the Transactions and (ii) she, he or it and her, his or its Representatives have been furnished with or given access to such documents and information
about XXXX and XXXX’s businesses and operations as she, he or it and her, his or its Representatives have deemed necessary to enable her, him or it to make informed decisions with respect to the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement or the other Ancillary Documents to which she, he or it is or will be a party and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

which she, he or it is or will be a party, the Shareholder has relied solely on her, his or its own investigation and analysis and the representations and warranties expressly set forth in the Ancillary Documents to which she, he or it is or
will be a party and no other representations or warranties of ARYA or the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, none of the representations or warranties of ARYA or the Company set forth in the Business Combination Agreement or any
other Ancillary Document) or any other Person, either express or implied, and the Shareholder, on her, his or its own behalf and on behalf of such Shareholder’s Representatives, acknowledges, represents, warrants and agrees that, except for the
representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the other Ancillary Documents to which the Shareholder is or will be a party, none of ARYA, the Company or any other Person makes or has made any representation or

4. Transfer of Subject Company Shares. Except as expressly
contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, any Ancillary Document or with the prior written consent of each of ARYA and the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) from and after the date hereof

Shareholder under any Company Shareholders Agreement, or (ii) enter into (A) any option, warrant, purchase right or other Contract that could (either alone or in connection with one or more events, developments or events (including the

Equity Securities of the Company, and (b) not to take or cause to be taken any actions in furtherance of any of the matters described in the foregoing clause (a). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the

qualified domestic relations order; provided, however, that (x) the Shareholder shall, and shall cause any transferee of any such Transfer of the type set forth in clauses (i) and (ii), to enter into a written agreement, in form

the representations and warranties of the Shareholder set forth in Section 3 with respect to such transferee and his, her or its Subject Company Shares received upon such Transfer, as applicable) prior and as a condition to the
occurrence of such Transfer, and (y) no such Transfer will relieve the Shareholder of any of its covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder with respect to the Subject Company Shares so transferred, unless and to the extent actually
performed, or will otherwise affect any of the provisions of this Agreement (including any of the representations and warranties of the Shareholder hereunder). For purposes of this Agreement, “Transfer” means any, direct or indirect,
sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, mortgage, exchange, hypothecation, grant of a security interest in or disposition or encumbrance of an interest (whether with or without consideration, whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of
law or otherwise). For purposes of this Section 4, “Permitted Transferee” means, with respect to any Person, (A) such Person’s Affiliates, (B) any direct or indirect members, partners (whether general or limited partners)

Agreement, (i) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5(a)(ii) shall not affect any Liability on the part of any Party for a willful and material breach of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement prior to
such termination or actual fraud, (ii) Section 2(b)(i) (solely to the extent that it relates to Section 5.3(a) (Confidentiality) of the Business Combination Agreement), this Section 5, Section 6, Section 7 and Section
11 shall each survive any termination of this Agreement, (iii) without limiting the following clause (iv), Section 2(b)(i) (solely to the extent that it relates to the Shareholder’s obligations to comply with the covenants in
Section 5.4(a) (Public Announcements) of the Business Combination Agreement to the extent such covenants contemplate performance following Closing), shall survive any termination of this Agreement that occurs pursuant Section 5(a)(i),
(iv) without limiting the following clause (v), Section 2(b)(ii) (solely to the extent that it relates to Section 8.18 (Trust Account Waiver) of the Business Combination Agreement) shall survive any termination of this Agreement that

termination of this Agreement) shall each survive any termination of this Agreement.
5
6. Fiduciary Duties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, the Shareholder is signing this Agreement solely in the Shareholder’s capacity as a record or beneficial holder of the Subject Company Shares and (a) the Shareholder does not make any agreement or understanding herein in any
capacity other than in such Shareholder’s capacity as a record holder and beneficial owner of the Subject Company Shares, and not in such Shareholder’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of any Group Company or in such Shareholder’s
capacity as a trustee or fiduciary of any Company Equity Plan, and (b) nothing herein will be construed to limit or affect any action or inaction by such Shareholder or any representative of such Shareholder serving as a member of the board of
directors of any Group Company or as an officer, employee or fiduciary of any Group Company, in each case, acting in such person’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or fiduciary of such Group Company.

upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to, nor shall be construed, to give any Person, other than the Parties and
their respective successors and assigns, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall constitute the
Parties, partners or participants in a joint venture.
13. Spouses and Community Property Matters. The Shareholder’s spouse
(if applicable) hereby represents, warrants and covenants to ARYA and the Company that such spouse shall not assert or enforce, and does hereby waive, any rights granted under any community property statute with respect to the Subject Company
Shares held by the Shareholder that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the ability of him or her to perform, or otherwise comply with, any of his or her covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement in any material
respect.
14. No Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement will
be deemed to vest in ARYA any direct or indirect ownership or incidents of ownership of or with respect to the Subject Company Shares. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Subject Company Shares shall remain vested
in and belong to the Shareholder, and ARYA shall have no authority to manage, direct, restrict, regulate, govern or administer any of the policies or operations of Company or exercise any power or authority to direct the Shareholder in the

7
Shares. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 1, the Shareholder shall not be
restricted from voting in favor of, against or abstaining with respect to any other matters presented to the stockholders of the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall obligate or require the
