Re: Initial Public Offering

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) entered into by and between Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp. III, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. LLC, Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC, and TD Securities (USA) LLC, as representatives (the “Representatives”) of the several Underwriters named in Schedule I thereto (the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “IPO”) of the Company’s units (the “Units”), each comprised of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and one-quarter of one warrant, each whole warrant exercisable for one share of Common Stock (each, a “Warrant”).

In order to induce the Company and the Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the IPO, and in recognition of the benefit that such IPO will confer upon the undersigned, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees with the Company as follows:

1. Vote in Respect of a Business Combination. If the Company solicits approval of its stockholders of an initial merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”), the undersigned will vote all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him, her, or it, whether acquired before, in, or after the IPO, in favor of such Business Combination.

2. Cash Conversion (Redemption) Rights.

(a) The undersigned hereby waives any right to exercise, and agrees not to exercise, cash conversion (redemption) rights as set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) with respect to any shares of Common Stock owned or to be owned by the undersigned, directly or indirectly, whether such shares be part of the shares of Common Stock issued prior to the IPO (the “Founder Shares”) or shares of Common Stock issued in the IPO (the “Public Shares”) and purchased by the undersigned in the IPO or in the aftermarket, in connection with any vote to approve an initial Business Combination or in connection with any vote to amend Article Sixth of the Certificate of Incorporation. In addition, if the Company provides all holders of its Common Stock with an opportunity to sell their shares to the Company, effective upon consummation of an initial Business Combination, for cash through a tender offer, the undersigned agrees not to tender or sell any of such shares to the Company in such tender offer.

(b) The undersigned hereby agrees to not propose, and to not vote in favor of, an amendment to Article Sixth of the Certificate of Incorporation other than in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination (and provided that such amendment does not adversely affect the cash conversion rights of any public stockholders with respect to Public Shares in connection with such Business Combination) unless the Company provides public stockholders with the opportunity to convert their shares of Common Stock upon such approval in accordance with such Article Sixth thereof.

3. Liquidating Distributions.

(a) In the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, the undersigned will, as promptly as possible, cause the Company to pay in cash to the holders of Public Shares a per-share price equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the Trust Account net of interest released to the Company as permitted pursuant to the Trust Agreement, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares. As used herein, “Trust Account” means the trust account into which the net proceeds of the IPO and a portion of the net proceeds of the concurrent private placement of Warrants will be deposited, and “Trust Agreement” means the Investment Management Trust Agreement between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company being entered into in connection with the IPO and governing the use of funds held in the Trust Account.

(b) The undersigned hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distribution of the Trust Account (“Claim”) with respect to any Founder Shares owned by the undersigned and hereby waives any Claim the undersigned may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any contracts or agreements with the Company and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever, except for any rights to liquidating distributions that the undersigned may have in respect of any Public Shares held by the undersigned from time to time. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that there will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to any Warrants, all rights of which will terminate on any liquidation of the Company.

2

(c) In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, the undersigned agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company for any debts and obligations to target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to the Company, but the liability of the undersigned in respect of such indemnification and hold harmless obligation shall be limited to the amount of the then-existing net assets of the undersigned and only to the extent necessary to ensure that such debt or obligation does not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account below the lesser of (x) $10.00 per Public Share or (y) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay the Company’s tax obligations and up to $100,000 for liquidation expenses; provided that such indemnity shall not apply (i) if such vendor or prospective target business executed an agreement waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, or (ii) as to any claims under the Company’s obligation to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). For the avoidance of doubt, all obligations and liabilities of the undersigned, including those under or in connection with this agreement, are solely the liabilities and obligations of the undersigned and are without recourse to any member, managing member, officer, employee, or other affiliate or representative of the undersigned.

4. Transfer Restrictions.

(a) The undersigned agrees that all Founder Shares owned at any time by the undersigned will be subject to the transfer restrictions described in the subscription agreement relating to the Founder Shares between the Company and Northern Genesis Sponsor III LLC (“Sponsor”) or its permitted transferees.

(b) The undersigned agrees that all Warrants that are being sold privately by the Company simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO (“Private Placement Warrants”) and the shares of Common Stock underlying such Private Placement Warrants, and all Warrants that may be acquired by the Sponsor or any officers or directors of the Company or any affiliates of any of the foregoing, in each case in consideration of funds paid, or in satisfaction of loans made, to the Company prior to or in connection with an initial Business Combination to fund payment of transaction costs or other working capital needs of the Company (“Working Capital Warrants”) and the shares of Common Stock underlying such Working Capital Warrants, that in either case are owned at any time by the undersigned will be subject to the transfer restrictions described in the subscription agreement relating to the Private Placement Warrants between the Company and Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

5. Related Party Business Combination. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that prior to entering into a Business Combination with a target business that is affiliated with Sponsor, any officer or director of the Company, or any of their respective affiliates, such transaction must be approved by a majority of the Company’s disinterested independent directors and the Company must obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm, or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions, that such Business Combination is fair to the Company’s unaffiliated stockholders from a financial point of view.

3

6. Compensation. Neither the undersigned nor any affiliate of the undersigned will be entitled to receive and will not accept any compensation, finder fee or other cash payment prior to, or for services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of the Business Combination, except as otherwise described in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (SEC File No. 333-253234) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in relation to the IPO.

7. Conflicts of Interest. The Company acknowledges and agrees (a) that the undersigned may own, sponsor, invest in, serve as an officer or director of, consult with or otherwise be affiliated or involved with other companies, including blank check companies similar to the Company, at any time, (b) that such other companies currently include, without limitation, one or more of Northern Genesis Holdings Inc., Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp., Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp. II, and any sponsor of any of the foregoing, (c) that the undersigned may be obligated to present business combination opportunities to such other entities in lieu of or prior to presenting such opportunities to the Company, and may do so unless the business opportunity or opportunities were presented to the undersigned solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company, and (d) in making a determination as to whether to present any such business combination opportunity to the Company, including as to whether such opportunity is suitable for the Company or would be reasonable for the Company to pursue, the undersigned shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall act in accordance with, his or her business professional judgment, exercised in good faith and with the care of a reasonably prudent person.
