7. Registration Rights.

a. The Issuer agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing Date, the Issuer will file with the Commission (at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Acquired Shares (the “Registration Statement”), and the Issuer 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 earlier of (i) the 75th calendar day (or 135th calendar day if the Commission notifies the Issuer that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Closing and (ii) the 10th business day after the date the Issuer is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effective Date”); provided, however, that the Issuer’s obligations to include the Acquired Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Issuer such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Issuer held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Acquired Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer at least five (5) business days prior to the filing thereof to effect the registration of the Acquired Shares, and Subscriber shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Issuer may reasonably

request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that the Issuer shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement as permitted hereunder; provided that the Subscriber shall not be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Issuer from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Acquired Shares by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Acquired Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Acquired Shares as is permitted by the Commission. In such event, the number of Acquired Shares to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders. Upon notification by the Commission that the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission, within two (2) business days thereafter, the Issuer shall file the final prospectus under Rule 424 of the Securities Act. In no event shall Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the Commission. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Issuer to file the Registration Statement by the deadline set forth in this Section 7 shall not otherwise relieve the Issuer of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 7. The Issuer will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to the Subscriber for review at least three (3) business days in advance of filing the Registration Statement. For purposes of this Section 7, “Acquired Shares” shall be deemed to include the Ordinary Shares acquired pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and any other equity security issued or issuable with respect to the Ordinary Shares by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event or otherwise.

b. In the case of the registration, qualification, exemption or compliance effected by the Issuer pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration, qualification, exemption and compliance. At its expense the Issuer shall:

(i) except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Issuer determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to Subscriber, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (1) Subscriber ceases to hold any Acquired Shares or (2) the date all Acquired Shares held by Subscriber may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and without the requirement for the Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) or Rule 144(i)(2), as applicable, and (3) two years from the Effective Date of the Registration Statement.

(ii) advise Subscriber within two (2) business days:

(1) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(2) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;

(3) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

(4) of the receipt by the Issuer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Acquired Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

(5) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Issuer shall not, when so advising Subscriber of such events, provide Subscriber with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer other than to the extent that providing notice to Subscriber of the occurrence of the events listed in (1) through (5) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer;

(iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

(iv) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated above, except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Acquired Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(v) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Acquired Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Ordinary Shares issued by the Issuer have been listed;

(vi) use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Acquired Shares contemplated hereby and to enable Subscriber to sell the Acquired Shares under Rule 144; and

(vii) remove the legend described in in Section 2(b)(ii) (or instruct its transfer agent to so remove such legend) from the Acquired Shares if (1) the Registration Statement is and continues to be effective under the Securities Act, (2) such Acquired Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (if the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Issuer and subject to all applicable requirements of Rule 144 being met), or (3) such Acquired Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions. Each applicable holder agrees to provide the Issuer, its counsel and/or the transfer agent with evidence reasonably requested by it in order to cause the removal of the legend described in Section 2(b)(ii) (the “Representations”). Any fees (with respect to the transfer agent, Issuer counsel or otherwise) associated with the issuance of any legal opinion required by the Issuer’s transfer agent or the removal of such legend shall be borne by the Issuer. If a legend is no longer required pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuer will no later than two (2) Business Days following the delivery by an applicable holder to the Issuer or the transfer agent (with notice to the Issuer) of a legended certificate or instrument representing Acquired Shares (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer) and the Representations, deliver or cause to be delivered to such applicable holder a certificate or instrument (as the case may be) representing such Acquired Shares that is free from all restrictive legends. Certificates for Acquired Shares free from all restrictive legends may be transmitted by the transfer agent to the applicable holders by crediting the account of the applicable holder’s prime broker with DTC as directed by such applicable holder; and

(viii) until the date the Acquired Shares may be sold under Rule 144, in order to permit Subscribers to conduct sales (including continuous offerings based on market prices and block trades) of the Acquired Shares offered pursuant to the Registration Statement (“Brokerage Trades”) through two or more investment banks or other broker-dealers (“Financial Counterparties”): (a) enter into an equity distribution agreement or sales agreement with the Financial Counterparties, in customary form, which shall include, among other provisions, indemnities similar to those in Section 7(e), and representations, covenants and other indemnities and rights and obligations as are customary in equity distribution agreements for issuer ATM programs (including an obligation of the Issuer to reimburse the Financial Counterparties for the expense of one counsel to the Financial Counterparties), (b) notify Subscribers of the identities of the Financial Counterparties, (c) to the extent requested by a Financial Counterparty in order to engage in Brokerage Trades, the Issuer shall allow the Financial Counterparties to conduct customary “underwriter’s due diligence” with respect to the Issuer, which may be on a periodic “bring down” basis when the Issuer files periodic or current reports or there is material news about the Issuer, including (1) by using commercially reasonable efforts to cause its independent certified public accountants to provide to the Financial Counterparties a “cold comfort” letter in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Financial Counterparties, (2) by using commercially reasonable efforts to cause its outside counsel to the Issuer to deliver an opinion in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, including a standard “10b-5” letter for such offering, addressed to the Financial Counterparties, and (3) by providing a standard officer’s certificate from the chief executive officer or chief financial officer, or other officers serving such functions, of the Issuer addressed to the Financial Counterparties and (d) shall take such other reasonable action as requested by the Financial Counterparties in order to expedite or facilitate the Brokerage Trades.

c. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Issuer or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event that the Issuer’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Issuer in the Registration Statement of material information that (x) the Issuer has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential or (y) cannot be immediately provided (but shall be provided as promptly as practicable) and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Issuer’s board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Issuer may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two (2) occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Issuer of the happening of any Suspension Event 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 any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Acquired Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Issuer agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Issuer that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Issuer unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Issuer, Subscriber will deliver to the Issuer or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Acquired Shares in Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Acquired Shares shall not apply (1) to the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (x) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (y) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (2) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

d. Subscriber may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Issuer requesting that Subscriber not receive notices from the Issuer otherwise required by this Section 7; provided, however, that Subscriber may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from Subscriber (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Issuer shall not deliver any such notices to Subscriber and Subscriber shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to Subscriber’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, Subscriber will notify the Issuer in writing at least two (2) business days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was

previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 7(d)) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Issuer will so notify Subscriber, within one (1) business day of Subscriber’s notification to the Issuer, by delivering to Subscriber a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide Subscriber with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event immediately upon its availability.

e. The Issuer shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Subscription Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Subscriber (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), the officers, directors and agents of Subscriber, and each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Issuer of the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 7, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Issuer by Subscriber expressly for use therein or Subscriber has omitted a material fact from such information or otherwise violated the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Issuer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall the Issuer be liable for any Losses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon a violation which occurs (1) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by Subscriber, (2) in connection with any failure of such person to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made available by the Issuer in a timely manner or (3) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of Subscriber in violation of Section 7(c) hereof. The Issuer shall notify Subscriber promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 7 of which the Issuer receives notice in writing. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the Transfer of the Acquired Shares by Subscriber.

f. Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, its directors, officers, agents and employees, and each person who controls the Issuer (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, (i) arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or (ii) arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or

necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, with respect to (i) and/or (ii), to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue or alleged untrue statements or omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Issuer by Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 7(f) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In no event shall the liability of Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Acquired Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Subscriber shall notify the Issuer promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 7(f) of which Subscriber is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the Transfer of the Acquired Shares by Subscriber.

8. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Combination Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with the terms therein, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 2(c) and 2(d) are not satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated at the Closing, (d) at the election of Subscriber, 90 days after the “Outside Date” as defined in the Combination Agreement (without any amendment thereto effected after the date hereof); provided, that if any action for specific performance or other equitable relief by Xxxxxxxxx Charging, the Company or the Issuer with respect to the Combination Agreement, any other transaction agreement, or otherwise with respect to the Transactions is commenced or pending on or before the Outside Date, then the Outside Date shall be automatically extended without any further action by any party until the date that is 30 days following the date on which a final, non-appealable order has been entered with respect to such action and the Outside Date shall be deemed to be such later date for all purposes of this Agreement, or (e) two years from the Effective Date of the Registration Statement; provided, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover out-of-pocket losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach.

9. Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber acknowledges that Spartan is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving Spartan and one or more business or assets. Subscriber further acknowledges that, as described in Spartan’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated February 10, 2021 (the “Prospectus”), available at xxx.xxx.xxx, substantially all of Spartan’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of Spartan’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of Spartan, its public stockholders and the underwriters of Spartan’s initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds

held in the Trust Account that may be released to Spartan to pay its obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of Spartan entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber, on behalf of itself and its representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind they have or may have in the future arising out of this Subscription Agreement, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9 shall be deemed to limit any Subscriber’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of such Subscriber’s record or beneficial ownership of securities of Spartan acquired by any means, including but not limited to any redemption right with respect to any such securities of Spartan.

In the event of such a transfer or assignment, Subscriber shall update Schedule B to provide the information required therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Subscriber effects a transfer of its Acquired Shares after the Closing and prior to the Effective Date, then Subscriber may assign all or a portion of the rights associated with such Acquired Shares under Section 7 hereto to any such transferee; provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of Section 7 (and any other related provisions) hereto, and provides Issuer with the requisite contact information.
