Business Combination
Agreement
On November 27, 2023,
Plum Acquisition Corp. I, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“Plum”), Plum SPAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware
corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Plum (“Merger Sub”), and Veea Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Veea”),
entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”).
Founded in 2014, Veea
offers edge-to-cloud computing with its VeeaHub smart computing hub products that can replace or complement Wi-Fi Access Points (APs),
IoT gateways, routers, basic firewalls, network attached storage, and other types of hubs and appliances at user premises.
The Business Combination
Subject to its terms
and conditions, the Business Combination Agreement provides that (a) on the day of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the
Business Combination (the “Closing”), Plum will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by transferring by way of continuation
from a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State
of Delaware (the “Domestication”), and (b) following the Domestication, Merger Sub will merge with and into Veea, with
Veea surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Plum (the “Merger”).
The Merger and the other
transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Business Combination.”
Plum intends to file a Registration Statement on Form S-4 as promptly as reasonably practicable and it is currently anticipated that the
Business Combination will close in the first half of 2024, following the receipt of the required approval by Plum’s shareholders
and the fulfillment or waiver of other closing conditions.
The executive management
of Veea is expected to serve as the executive management of Plum following the Closing. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement,
Plum’s board of directors following the Closing will consist of seven members, with Veea having the right to designate five directors,
at least two of whom shall be independent, the Sponsor (as defined below) having the right to designate one independent director, and
Plum and Veea having the right to designate one independent director.
Business Combination
Consideration
In accordance with the
terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share
of Veea’s common stock (the “Veea Common Stock”) and each outstanding share of Veea’s Series A preferred stock
and Series A-1 preferred stock (the “Veea Preferred Stock”) on an as-converted to Veea Common Stock basis, but excluding Dissenting
Shares, New Financing Securities (each as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and treasury shares (such outstanding Veea Common
Stock and Veea Preferred Stock, the “Existing Veea Shares”), will be cancelled and extinguished and converted into the right
to receive the number of shares of Plum’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “New Plum Common Shares”),
determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement based on a pre-money equity value of Veea of $180,000,000, including
Veea’s in-the-money, vested convertible securities on a net exercise basis, and a price of $10.00 per New Plum Common Share.
The Business Combination
Agreement also provides holders of Existing Veea Shares with a contingent right to receive up to 4.5 million additional New Plum Common
Shares (the “Earnout Shares”), subject to the following contingencies:
| ● | 50% of the Earnout Shares if, at any time during the ten
years following the Closing (the “Earnout Period”), the VWAP of the New Plum Common Shares is greater than or equal to $12.50
per share for any twenty trading days within any thirty trading day period; and |
| ● | 50% of the Earnout Shares if, at any time during the Earnout
Period, the VWAP of the New Plum Common Shares is greater than or equal to $15.00 per share for any twenty trading days within any thirty
trading day period. |
If there is a Change
of Control Transaction during the Earnout Period, (i) to the extent that the implied price per New Plum Common Share in such transaction
is above the applicable stock price targets, the vesting of such Earnout Shares will accelerate and the Earnout Shares will be issuable
upon the closing of such transaction, and (ii) the contingent obligations for any remaining Earnout Shares will be rolled over to the
resulting company from such transaction, unless after such transaction, the resulting company from such transaction is no longer publicly
listed on Nasdaq or another nationally-recognized securities exchange, in which case, any unvested Earnout Shares will immediately vest.
The Business Combination
Agreement contemplates that Veea may sell New Financing Securities generating proceeds of up to $70 million (or more with Plum’s
consent) between the date of the Business Combination Agreement and the Closing, and the holders of New Financing Securities (including
any shares of Veea’s Series A-2 preferred stock or other New Financing Securities sold prior to the date of the Business Combination
Agreement) will receive New Plum Common Shares in the aggregate equal to the amount raised through the issuance of the New Financing
Securities divided by $7.50.
Pursuant
to the Business Combination Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each Veea option will be converted into an option to
acquire, subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Veea option, the number of New Plum Common
Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share), determined by multiplying the number of shares of Veea common stock subject to such
Veea option as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger by the Existing Holder Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Business
Combination Agreement), at an exercise price per New Plum Common Share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (a) the exercise
price per share of Veea common stock of such option as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, divided by (b) the Existing
Holder Exchange Ratio.
Pursuant
to the Business Combination Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each other convertible security of Veea outstanding
immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will cease to represent a right to acquire Veea capital stock, shall be assumed
by Plum, and shall be cancelled in exchange for a convertible security to acquire New Plum Common Shares, on the same contractual terms
and conditions as were in effect with respect to the Veea convertible security immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger under
the terms of the relevant agreements governing such Veea convertible security, except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the
transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or for such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes as
the board of directors of Plum may determine in good faith are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the convertible securities.
The number of New Plum Common Shares issuable pursuant to the convertible security will be determined by multiplying the number of shares
of Veea common stock subject to the Veea convertible security on an as-converted to shares of Veea common stock basis as of immediately
prior to the effective time of the Merger by (i) the Existing Holder Exchange Ratio in the case of securities convertible into Veea capital
stock other than New Financing Securities, or (ii) in the case of New Financing Securities or securities convertible into New Financing
Securities, the New Company Shareholder Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement). The exercise price per New
Plum Common Share will be determined by (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) (x) in the case of securities convertible into Veea capital
stock other than New Financing Securities, the exercise price per share of Veea capital stock of such Veea convertible security divided
by the Existing Holder Exchange Ratio, or (y) in the case of New Financing Securities or securities convertible into New Financing Securities,
the exercise price per share of Veea capital stock of such Veea convertible security divided by the New Company Shareholder Exchange Ratio.
Any Veea indebtedness
owed to Allen Salmasi or his affiliates (or their respective assignees) will be converted into New Plum Common Shares at the Closing
at a price of $10.00 per New Plum Common Share, which shares are not considered Existing Veea Shares and will be in addition to the New
Plum Common Shares issued to holders of Existing Veea Shares.
Each Dissenting Share
will not be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Transaction Consideration (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement),
but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Combination Agreement or fraud, and for customary obligations that survive the termination thereof (such as confidentiality obligations).
Other Provisions
Plum and its affiliates
agreed to a customary trust waiver in the Business Combination Agreement. The Business Combination Agreement is governed by Delaware Law,
and any dispute pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction, any
federal court within State of Delaware).
A copy of the Business
Combination Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing
description of the Business Combination Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto. The Business Combination Agreement
contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Business Combination
Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of
the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection
with negotiating such agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement are also modified
in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard
of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties
rather than establishing matters as facts. Plum believes that these schedules do not contain information that is material to an investment
or voting decision.

Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains
certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the proposed transaction between
Veea and Plum and Veea’s business. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,”
“project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,”
“future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,”
“will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions.
These forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Veea’s expected product offerings; the expected timing of the

with respect to future operating and financial performance. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified
in this report, and on the current expectations of Veea’s and Plum’s management and are not predictions of actual performance.
These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied
upon by any investors as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability.
Forward-looking statements
are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and are subject
to risks and uncertainties that may cause Veea’s and Plum’s activities or results to differ significantly from those expressed
in any forward-looking statement, including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions;
the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed Business Combination, including the risk that any regulatory
approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect Veea or the expected benefits
of the proposed Business Combination; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Plum, Veea, the combined company

rise to the termination of the business combination agreement; the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation
of the Business Combination; the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Business Combination on Veea’s business relationships,
operating results, current plans and operations; risks related to the rollout of Veea’s business and the timing of expected business

products; delays in construction and operation of production facilities; Veea’s ability to produce its products at commercial scale;
the amount of redemption requests made by Plum’s public equity holders; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the possibility
that Plum, Veea or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and other risks
and uncertainties described from time to time in filings by Plum with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or the parties’
assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. Many
factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this report. There may be additional
risks that neither Veea or Plum presently know or that Veea and Plum currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results
to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described
in the “Risk Factors” section of Plum’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, the registration
statement on Form S-4 and other documents filed by Plum from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking
statements, and Veea and Plum assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. Neither Veea nor Plum gives any assurance that either Veea or Plum will achieve
its expectations.

Converted Stock Option shall continue in effect on substantially the same terms and conditions (subject to the adjustments required by
this Section 2.01 after giving effect to the Merger).
(iv) Assumption
by Plum of Other Existing Company Convertible Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action of
any Party or other Person, each Company Convertible Security that is not a New Financing Security or exercisable for or convertible into
a New Financing Security that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to represent a right to acquire Company
Capital Stock, shall be assumed by Plum and shall be cancelled in exchange for a convertible security to acquire New Plum Common Shares
and on an as-converted to shares of Company Common Stock basis (each, an “Existing Rollover Convertible Security”)
on the same contractual terms and conditions as were in effect with respect to such Company Securities immediately prior to the Effective
Time under the terms of the relevant agreements governing such Company Convertible Securities, except for terms rendered inoperative by
reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or for such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes as the board
of directors of Plum may determine in good faith are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the Rollover Convertible Securities.
Each Rollover Convertible Security shall represent the right to acquire the number of New Plum Common Shares (rounded down to the nearest
whole share), determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Convertible Security on an
as-converted to shares of Company Common Stock basis as of immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Existing Holder Exchange Ratio,
at an exercise price per share of New Plum Common Shares (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (x) the exercise price per share
of Company Capital Stock of such Company Convertible Security divided by (y) the Existing Holder Exchange Ratio (such number of New Plum
Common Shares resulting from the conversion of all of the Rollover Convertible Securities, the “Existing Rollover Convertible
Security Shares”).
(v) Assumption
by Plum of New Convertible Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action of any Party or other
Person, each Company Convertible Security convertible into a New Financing Security that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time shall cease to represent a right to acquire Company Capital Stock, shall be assumed by Plum and shall be cancelled in exchange for
a convertible security to acquire New Plum Common Shares and on an as-converted to shares of Company Common Stock basis (each, a “New
Financing Rollover Convertible Security” and together with the Existing Financing Rollover Convertible Securities, the “Rollover
Convertible Securities”) on the same contractual terms and conditions as were in effect with respect to such Company Convertible
Securities immediately prior to the Effective Time under the terms of the relevant agreements governing such Company Convertible Securities,
except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or for such other immaterial administrative
or ministerial changes as the board of directors of Plum may determine in good faith are appropriate to effectuate the administration
of the Rollover Convertible Securities. Each Rollover Convertible Security shall represent the right to acquire the number of New Plum
Common Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share), determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject
to such Company Convertible Security on an as-converted to shares of Company Common Stock basis as of immediately prior to the Effective
Time by the New Company Shareholder Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of New Plum Common Shares (rounded up to the nearest
whole cent) equal to (x) the exercise price per share of Company Capital Stock of such Company Convertible Security divided by (y) the
New Company Shareholder Exchange Ratio (such number of New Plum Common Shares resulting from the conversion of all of the Rollover Convertible
Securities, the “New Rollover Convertible Security Shares” and together with the Existing Rollover Convertible Security
Shares, the “Rollover Convertible Security Shares”).
(vi) Converted
Stock Option Shares and Rollover Convertible Security Shares. From and after the Effective Time, Plum shall (i) reserve for issuance
a number of New Plum Common Shares equal to the number of shares underlying the Converted Stock Options and Rollover Convertible Security
Shares, and (ii) issue or cause to be issued the appropriate number of New Plum Common Shares upon the exercise of the Converted Stock
Options and the appropriate number of Rollover Convertible Security Shares upon the exercise of the Rollover Convertible Securities. Plum
shall use reasonable best efforts to prepare and file, as promptly as practicable after the date Plum is first allowed a registration
statement registering a number of New Plum Shares necessary to fulfill Plum’s obligations under Section 2.01(d)(iii).
(vii) Dissenting
Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 2.01(d), shares of Company Capital
Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Capital Stock cancelled in accordance
with Section 2.01(d)(ii)(A)) and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto
in writing and who has properly exercised and perfected appraisal rights of such Company Capital Stock in accordance with Section 262
of the DGCL (such shares of Company Capital Stock being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares”) shall
not be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Transaction Consideration, including any Transaction Consideration issuable
pursuant to Section 2.03, but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL; provided,
however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal
pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief
provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such Dissenting Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into
the right to receive the portion of the Transaction Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to the applicable subsections
of Section 2.01(d)(ii), without interest thereon, upon surrender of the Certificate or Certificates representing such Dissenting
Shares in accordance with Section 3.02. The Company shall provide Plum prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company
for appraisal of shares of Company Capital Stock, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered
to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL that relates to such demand, and Plum shall have the reasonable opportunity
to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands; provided, that the Company shall not under any
circumstance settle or agree to such demands without the prior written consent of Plum.
(e) Governing
Documents. At the Effective Time, the Governing Documents of the Company shall be amended and restated to be in the forms of certificate
of incorporation and bylaws to be mutually agreed by Plum and the Company prior to the Closing Date, which shall be the certificate of
incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Company until thereafter duly amended in accordance with the terms thereof and applicable Law.
The name of the Surviving Company set forth in the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Company, as amended and restated, shall
be “Veea Inc.” unless otherwise agreed by the Company and Plum.
Section 2.02 Further
Assurances. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this
Agreement and to vest the Surviving Company with full right and title to, and possession of, all assets, property, rights, privileges,
powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, the Company, Plum, and Merger Sub will use commercially reasonable efforts to take,
or cause to be taken, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.
Section 2.03 Company
Earnout.
(a) If,
at any time during the ten (10) years following the Closing (the “Earnout Period”), the Plum Common Share Price is
greater than or equal to $12.50 for any twenty (20) Trading Days within any thirty- (30-) Trading Day period (such time when the foregoing
is first satisfied, the “First Earnout Achievement Date”), Plum shall, as additional consideration in the Merger in
respect of shares of Company Capital Stock (and without the need for additional consideration from any holder thereof), promptly issue
to each Existing Company Shareholder, a number of New Plum Common Shares equal to the product of (i) such Existing Company Shareholder’s
Pro Rata Share multiplied by (ii) 2,250,000.
(b) If,
at any time during the Earnout Period, the Plum Common Share Price is greater than or equal to $15.00 for any twenty (20) Trading Days
within any thirty- (30-) Trading Day period (such time when the foregoing is first satisfied, the “Second Earnout Achievement
Date”), Plum shall, as additional consideration in the Merger in respect of shares of Company Capital Stock (and without the
need for additional consideration from any holder thereof), promptly issue to each Existing Company Shareholder, a number of New Plum
Common Shares equal to the product of (i) such Existing Company Shareholder’s Pro Rata Share multiplied by (ii) 2,250,000.
(c) If,
on or before the last day of the Earnout Period, there is a Change of Control Transaction that will result in the holders of New Plum
Common Shares receiving a per share price, or has an implied value per share (in either case, taking in account the issuance of the Earnout
Consideration in accordance herewith), equal to or in excess of the applicable Plum Common Share Price as set forth in clauses (a) or
(b) of this Section 2.03 (each, an “Earnout Triggering Event”), then immediately prior to the consummation of
such Change of Control Transaction: (a) any Earnout Triggering Event subject to the applicable price thresholds achieved or exceeded
in connection with such Change of Control Transaction that has not previously occurred shall be deemed to have occurred and shall immediately
vest and the Existing Company Shareholders shall receive the same per share consideration (whether stock, cash or other property) in respect
of such New Plum Common Shares as the other holders of ordinary shares of Plum participating in such Change of Control Transaction; and
(b) in the case of any Change of Control Transaction, Plum shall require that the acquiror in such Change of Control Transaction agree
to the treatment of any Earnout Triggering Event (unless otherwise agreed to by Existing Company Shareholders holding a majority of the
Company Capital Stock held by all Existing Company Shareholders) subject to applicable price thresholds that are not achieved or exceeded
in connection with such Change of Control Transaction that will not vest in connection with such Change of Control Transaction (“Unvested
New Plum Common Shares”). For the avoidance of doubt, any Unvested New Plum Common Shares that will not vest in connection with
a Change of Control Transaction will continue as Unvested New Plum Common Shares on and subject to the terms of this Agreement and will
not be forfeited or cancelled.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 2.03, in the event of a Change of Control Transaction that results in New Plum Common
Shares no longer being listed on the Stock Exchange or any other nationally-recognized securities exchange, any Unvested New Plum Common
Shares shall automatically vest regardless of whether an Earnout Triggering Event has occurred in connection with such Change of Control
Transaction.
(e) In
the event of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares
or any similar event (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Transactions) affecting the New Plum Common Shares after the date of
this Agreement, the Earnout Triggering Events and the number of New Plum Common Shares to be issued by Plum shall be equitably adjusted
to provide each Existing Company Shareholder the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.
Section 2.04 Withholding
Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties and the Surviving Company and their respective Affiliates,
and any applicable withholding agent (each, a “Withholding Party”) shall
be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, any amount required to be deducted and
withheld with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Law; provided that if any Withholding Party determines that
any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement is subject to deduction and/or withholding (other than any withholding required in respect
of compensatory amounts), then such Withholding Party shall (a) provide notice to such Person as soon as reasonably practicable after
such determination and (b) cooperate with such Person to reduce or eliminate any such deduction or withholding to the extent permitted
by applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such withheld
amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and
withholding was made. Any amounts so withheld shall be timely remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority.

Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by Company Shareholders as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such

401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS or is entitled to rely on a favorable opinion or advisory
letter from the IRS, and, to the Knowledge of the Company, nothing has occurred that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect

have been accrued for in the respective Financial Statements.
(c) No
material claim or Proceeding with respect to any Company Benefit Plan (other than routine claims for benefits or domestic relations order)
is pending or, to the Company’s Knowledge, threatened. There has been no non-exempt prohibited transaction (as defined in Section
406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) or breach of fiduciary duty (as determined under ERISA) with respect to any Company Benefit

States Law also applies) (a “Foreign Plan”):
each Foreign Plan required to be registered has been registered and has been maintained in good standing in all material respects with
applicable regulatory authorities. No Foreign Plan is a defined benefit plan (as defined in ERISA, whether or not subject to ERISA).
(f) Except
for Change of Control Payments as listed on Section 4.04(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedules, neither
the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company nor the consummation of the Transactions could (whether alone or in connection

in any payments or benefits under any Company Benefit Plan, (ii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment, funding or
vesting, or forfeiture, of any compensation or benefits to any Person under any Company Benefit Plan, or (iii)

individual, including under Sections 409A, 457A or 4999 of the Code.
(h) Each
Company Benefit Plan that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” subject to Section 409A of the Code or Section 457A
of the Code has been established, documented, operated and maintained in compliance, in all material respects, with Section 409A of the
Code or Section 457A of the Code and all applicable regulations and notices issued thereunder.

provider of the Company and its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates as a result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the
consummation of the Transactions (whether alone or in connection with any subsequent event) could,
separately or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be characterized as an “excess parachute payment” (as defined in
Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code).

with respect to any such allegations, and are not aware of any allegations relating to officers, directors, employees, contractors, or

Property or any portion thereof and there are no outstanding options, rights of first offer or rights of first refusal to purchase such
Owned Real Property or any portion thereof or interest therein. Neither the Company nor any

(d) Assets;
Sufficiency. The tangible assets and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries are in good operating condition in all material
respects (normal wear and tear excepted) and are fit, in all material respects, for use in the ordinary course of business, and no material
uninsurable damage has occurred with respect to such assets and properties. Immediately after the Effective Time, the assets (which, for
the avoidance of doubt, shall include any assets held pursuant to valid leasehold interest, license or other similar interests or right
to use any assets) of the Company and its Subsidiaries will constitute all of the assets necessary to conduct the business immediately
after the Closing in all material respects as it is conducted on the date of this Agreement. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries

individually or in the aggregate, material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. The Company Assets constitute all the
assets, properties and rights that are used in or necessary to conduct in all material respects the Company’s and each of its Subsidiaries’

Section

with the power and privileges to effect a business combination, and reference is made to Plum’s final prospectus, dated March 15,
2021. The Company understands that Plum has established the Trust Account described therein for the benefit of Plum’s public shareholders
and that disbursements from the Trust Account are available only in the limited circumstances set forth in the Trust Agreement. The Company
further acknowledges that, if the Transactions or, in the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms, another business
combination, are not consummated by the Termination Date or such later date as is approved by the shareholders of Plum to complete a
business combination, Plum will be obligated to return to its shareholders the amounts being held in the Trust Account. Accordingly,
the Company (on behalf of itself and its controlled Affiliates), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, hereby waives
any past, present or future claim of any kind against, and any right to access, the Trust Account or to collect from the Trust Account
any monies that may be owed to them by Plum or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Transactions whatsoever, and will not seek
recourse against the Trust Account at any time in connection with this or the Transactions; provided that nothing
herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Company’s right to pursue a claim against Plum or any of its Affiliates for legal relief
against assets held outside of the Trust Account (including from and after the consummation of a business combination other than as contemplated
by this Agreement) or pursuant to Section 12.14 for specific performance or other injunctive
relief (so long as such claim would not affect Plum’s ability to fulfill its redemption obligations). This Section 7.02
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section
7.03 Financial Information.
(a) The
Company shall deliver to Plum (i) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Closing Company Financial Statements; and (ii) as soon as reasonably
practicable following the completion of each interim period occurring after the date of this Agreement, the unaudited financial statements
for such interim periods that are required by applicable Securities Laws, as necessary.
(b) The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts (i) to assist, upon advance written notice, during normal business hours and in a manner
such as to not unreasonably interfere with the normal operation of the Company and Plum in causing to be prepared in a timely manner any
other financial information or statements (including customary pro forma financial statements) that are required to be included in the
Registration Statement/Proxy Statement and any other filings to be made by Plum with the SEC in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or any Transaction Document and (ii) to obtain the consents of its auditors with respect thereto as may be required
by applicable Law or requested by the SEC.
Section
7.04 Company Related Party Transactions. Subject to Section 9.13,
the Company shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary or advisable to terminate at or prior to the Closing all Company
Related Party Transactions set forth on Section 7.04 of the Company Disclosure Schedule
without any further obligations or Liabilities to the Company or any of its Affiliates (including, from and after the Closing, Plum and
its Affiliates). On or prior to the Closing, each of the Company Shareholders and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective
Affiliates to, repay or cause to be repaid in full, or otherwise satisfy and settle, all Indebtedness, receivables, payables and other
similar arrangements between the Company, on the one hand, and any Company Shareholder or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand.
Section 7.05 Company
Board Recommendation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in this Agreement, the Company’s board of directors may (i) fail to make, withdraw, amend, modify or qualify the Company Board
Recommendation, (ii) approve, endorse, adopt or recommend an Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) fail to include the Company Board
Recommendation in any materials presented to the Company Shareholders in connection with the Transactions (the actions or inactions referred
to in the preceding clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) being referred to herein as a “Company Board Recommendation Change”)
at any time prior to obtaining the Required Company Shareholders’ Consent in the event that:
(a) the
Company’s board of directors has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement that was not
solicited in violation of Section 9.04 and determines in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal (which
determination and any notice to Plum thereof shall not constitute a Company Board Recommendation Change);
(b) prior
to effecting such Company Board Recommendation Change, the Company’s board of directors shall have given Plum at least five (5)
Business Days’ notice of its intention to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change pursuant to Section 7.05(a) (the “Change
of Recommendation Notice Period”) and shall have provided Plum (i) the material terms and conditions of such Superior
Proposal and (ii), subject to Section 8.09, the identity of the Person or “group” (within the meaning ascribed to such
term under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) submitting such Superior Proposal and with an unredacted copy of such Superior Proposal,
together with unredacted copies of all proposed transaction agreements and, subject to any express restrictions imposed by the lenders
thereto, any financing commitments relating thereto received by the Company’s board of directors;
(c) if
requested by Plum, during the Change of Recommendation Notice Period, the Company shall have met and negotiated in good faith with Plum
regarding modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to obviate the need for a Company Board Recommendation Change;
(d) within
four (4) Business Days of Plum’s receipt of the notice required by Section 7.05(b), Plum shall not have made a counter-offer or
proposal in writing and in a manner that, if accepted by the Company, would form a binding contract, that the Company’s board of
directors determines would obviate the need for a Company Board Recommendation Change; and
(e) the
Company’s board of directors determines (following consultation with its outside legal counsel and after considering any counter-offer
or proposal made by Plum pursuant to this Section 7.05) that, in light of such Superior Proposal, the failure to effect a Company
Board Recommendation Change would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.
Section
7.06 Company Shareholder Consent. If
the Company Shareholders party to the Voting Agreements hold, as of the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement Effective Date, voting
power over Company Capital Stock sufficient to provide the Required Company Shareholders’ Consent (including any separate class
or series vote as reasonably determined necessary or appropriate by the Company), the Company shall deliver to Plum, as soon as reasonably
practicable but no later than five (5) Business Days following the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement Effective Date, a true and
correct copy of an irrevocable written consent constituting the Required Company Shareholders’ Consent. If the Company Shareholders
party to the Voting Agreements do not hold, as of the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement Effective Date, voting power over Company
Capital Stock sufficient to provide the Required Company Shareholders’ Consent (including any separate class or series vote as
reasonably determined necessary or appropriate by the Company), the Company shall use its best efforts to either (i) obtain and deliver
to Plum a true and correct copy of an irrevocable written consent constituting the Required Company Shareholders’ Consent or (ii)
hold a meeting of Company shareholders in which the Company obtains the vote of its shareholders constituting the Required Company Shareholders’
Consent, in either case (A) including any separate class or series vote as reasonably determined necessary or appropriate by the Company
and (B) as soon as reasonably practicable following the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement Effective Date, and in any event, the
Company will use its best efforts to obtain such Required Company Shareholders’ Consent no later than forty-five (45) days following
the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement Effective Date.

(a) Each
Party agrees that (i) all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favor of the directors and officers of Plum, as provided
in Plum’s Governing Documents or otherwise in effect as of the date of this Agreement and immediately prior to the Domestication,
in either case, solely with respect to any matters occurring on or prior to the Closing, shall survive the Transactions and shall continue
in full force and effect from and after the Closing for a period of six (6) years and (ii)
Plum will perform and discharge all obligations to provide such indemnity and exculpation during such six (6)-year period. To the maximum
extent permitted by applicable Law, during such six (6)-year period, Plum shall advance expenses in connection with such indemnification
as provided in Plum’s Governing Documents or other applicable agreements as in effect immediately prior to the Domestication. The
indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of Plum’s Governing Documents shall not, during such six (6)-year
period, be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Closing in any manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights
thereunder of individuals who, as of the Closing or at any time on or prior to the Closing, were directors or officers of Plum (the “Plum
D&O Persons”) to be so indemnified, have their liability limited or be exculpated with respect to any matters occurring
prior to Closing and relating to the fact that such Plum D&O Person was a director or officer of Plum prior to the Closing, unless
such amendment, repeal or other modification is required by applicable Law.
(b) Plum
shall not have any obligation under this Section 9.09(b) to any Plum D&O Person when and if a court of competent jurisdiction
shall ultimately determine (and such determination shall have become final and non-appealable) that the indemnification of such Plum D&O
Person in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.
(c) If
Plum or any of its respective successors or assigns (i) shall merge or consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity
and shall not be the surviving or continuing corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially
all of their respective properties and assets as an entity in one or a series of related transactions to any Person, then in each such
case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors or assigns of Plum or the Company shall assume all of the obligations set
forth in this Section 9.09(c).
(d) The
Plum D&O Persons entitled to the indemnification, liability limitation and exculpation set forth in this Section 9.09(d) are
intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 9.09(d). This Section 9.09(d) shall survive the consummation of
the Transactions and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Plum and the Company.

D&O Indemnification and Insurance.

Party agrees that (i) all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favor of the directors and officers of the Company,
as provided in a Company’s Governing Documents or otherwise in effect as of the Closing Date, in either case, solely with respect
to any matters occurring on or prior to the Closing, shall survive the Transactions and shall continue in full force and effect from and
after the Closing for a period of six (6) years and (ii) the Company will perform and discharge all obligations to provide such indemnity
and exculpation during such six (6)-year period. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, during such six (6)-year period, Plum
shall advance expenses in connection with such indemnification as provided in the Company’s Governing Documents or other applicable
agreements. The indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of the Company’s Governing Documents shall not,
during such six (6)-year period, be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Closing in any manner that would materially and
adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of the Closing or at any time prior to the Closing, were directors or officers
of the Company (the “Company D&O Persons”) to be so indemnified, have their liability limited or be exculpated
with respect to any matters occurring prior to Closing and relating to the fact that such Company D&O Person was a director or officer
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing, unless such amendment, repeal or other modification is required by applicable
Law.
(b) Neither
Plum nor the Company shall have any obligation under this Section 9.10 to any Company D&O Person when and if a court of competent
jurisdiction shall ultimately determine (and such determination shall have become final and non-appealable) that the indemnification of
such Company D&O Person in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.
(c) The
Company shall purchase, at or prior to the Closing, and Plum shall maintain, or caused to be maintained, in effect for a period of six
(6) years after the Closing Date, without lapses in coverage, a “tail” policy providing directors’ and officers’
liability insurance coverage for the benefit of those Persons who are currently covered by any comparable insurance policies of the Company
as of the date of this Agreement with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Closing. Such “tail” policy shall provide
coverage on terms (with respect to coverage and amount) that are substantially the same as (and no less favorable in the aggregate to
the insured than) the coverage provided under the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as
of the date of this Agreement.
(d) If
Plum or any of its respective successors or assigns (i) shall merge or consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity
and shall not be the surviving or continuing corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially
all of their respective properties and assets as an entity in one or a series of related transactions to any Person, then in each such
case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors or assigns of Plum or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall assume
all of the obligations set forth in this Section 9.10.
(e) The
Company D&O Persons entitled to the indemnification, liability limitation, exculpation and insurance set forth in this Section
9.10 are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 9.10. This Section 9.10 shall survive the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Company and the Company’s
Subsidiaries.
Section 9.11 Company
Financing. Without limiting anything to the contrary contained herein, during the Interim Period,
the Company may enter into financing agreements (any such agreements, the “Financing Agreements” and a financing contemplated
by such Financing Agreements, a “Company Financing”), including, without limitation, with respect to the sale of additional
shares of Company Series A-2 Preferred Stock and other Company Convertible Securities (any such securities, collectively, “New
Financing Securities”), provided, however, that any such Company Financing(s) with proceeds in excess of $70,000,000
shall require the prior written consent of Plum (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If requested
by the Company, Plum shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with any such
Company Financing. The Company and Plum, as applicable, shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Company Financing
to be consummated in accordance with the applicable Financing Agreement.
Section 9.12 Employment
Agreements. The Company and Plum shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause individuals as may be mutually agreed by the
Company and Plum to enter into an employment agreement between each such individual and Plum (or a Subsidiary thereof), in each case,
to become effective as of the Closing, and upon terms to be agreed by to the Company, Plum and such individual prior to the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement.
Section 9.13 Treatment
of Certain Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any remaining outstanding obligations
of the Company or its Subsidiaries as of the Closing under the Indebtedness that is owed to Allen Salmasi or his Affiliates (or to their
respective assignees of such Indebtedness after the date of this Agreement, which assignment for the avoidance of doubt, shall not require
the consent of Plum), as set forth on Section 9.13 of the Company Disclosure Schedules, will be converted into New Plum Common
Shares at the Closing at a price of $10.00 per New Plum Common Share. For the avoidance of doubt, any New Plum Common Shares issued for
such Indebtedness in accordance with this Section 9.13 will be in addition to and not included as part of the consideration issued
to holders of Company Capital Stock or Company Convertible Securities under Section 2.01(d), and such holders of Indebtedness will
not be entitled to share in the New Plum Common shares issuable under Section 2.03.

Section 9.06(b) (Confidentiality; Access to Information; Publicity), this Section 11.02 (Effect of Termination), Article
XII (Miscellaneous) and Section 1.01 (Definitions) (to the extent related to the foregoing), each of which shall survive such
termination and remain valid and binding obligations of the Parties, and (b) the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall survive such
termination and remain valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing
or anything to the contrary herein, the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.01 shall not affect any Liability

included herein in order to induce the Parties to enter into this Agreement. The Termination Fee, if paid, shall constitute liquidated
damages and upon acceptance of the Termination Fee, neither the Company, nor its directors, officers, agents, Affiliates, or stockholders
(collectively, the “Company Parties”) shall have any further liability or obligation to Plum, any of its Affiliates
or any of its or their direct or indirect shareholders relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Transactions, any of the other
Transaction Documents, or the failure of the Merger or any other transaction contemplated hereby or thereby to be consummated, or in respect
of any oral representation made or alleged to be have been made in connection herewith or therewith, whether in equity or at Law, in contract,
in tort or otherwise, and, in such event, Plum shall not seek, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates not to seek, to recover any money

Islands shall also apply to the Domestication).
Section
12.12 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware
declines to accept jurisdiction, any federal court within State of Delaware) for the purposes of any Proceeding (a) arising under this

in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any of the Transactions, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives
any objection to the laying of venue of any such Proceeding in any such court, and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and
agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each Party hereby

Section
12.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES EACH HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE. THE
PARTIES EACH HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT
A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT
OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (a) NO REPRESENTATIVE,
AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION,
SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (b) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (c) EACH SUCH
PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (d) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE
MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS Section 12.13.
Section
12.14 Enforcement. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary
damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their obligations
under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement)
or any Transaction Document in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree
that (a) the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of
this Agreement or any Transaction Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, without proof of
damages, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.01,
this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement or any Transaction Document, and (b) the right
to seek specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and, without that right, none of the Parties would have entered
into this Agreement. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the
basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for
any reason at Law or equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement
or any Transaction Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any Transaction Document in accordance
with this Section 12.14 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security
in connection with any such injunction.
Section
12.15 Non-Recourse. Subject in all respects to the last sentence of this Section
12.15, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon,
arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought against, the entities that are
expressly named as Parties and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party. Except
to the extent a Party (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such Party in this Agreement), (a) no past,
present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative
or Affiliate of any Party and (b) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder,
Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any Liability (whether in contract,
tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities
of any one or more of the Company, Plum or Merger Sub under this Agreement of or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 12.15 shall
limit, amend or waive any rights or obligations of any party to any Transaction Document with respect to the other parties thereto.
Section
12.16 Nonsurvival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. None of the representations,
warranties, covenants, obligations or other agreements in this Agreement or in any certificate, statement or instrument delivered pursuant
to this Agreement, including any rights arising out of any breach of such representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements
or other provisions, shall survive the Closing, and all of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or other agreements
in this Agreement or in any certificate, statement or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including any rights arising out
of any breach of such representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements or other provisions, shall terminate and expire
upon the occurrence of the Closing (and there shall be no Liability after the Closing in respect thereof), in each case, except for (a)
those covenants and agreements contained herein that by their terms expressly apply in whole or in part at or after the Closing and then
only with respect to any breaches occurring at or after the Closing and (b) this Article XII.

or implied representation or warranty with respect to any Party (or any Party’s Subsidiaries), including any implied warranty or
representation as to condition, merchantability, suitability or fitness for a particular purpose or trade as to any of the assets of such
Party or its Subsidiaries or the Transactions and all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature expressed or implied
(including (x) regarding the completeness or accuracy of, or any omission to state or to disclose, any information, including in the estimates,
projections or forecasts or any other information, document or material provided to or made available to any Party or their respective
Affiliates or Representatives in certain “data rooms,” management presentations or in any other form in expectation of the
Transactions, including meetings, calls or correspondence with management of any Party (or any Party’s Subsidiaries), and (y) any
relating to the future or historical business, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, prospects, assets or liabilities
of any Party (or its Subsidiaries), or the quality, quantity or condition of any Party’s or its Subsidiaries’ assets) are

does not limit any rights of any Party pursuant to any Transaction Document against any other Party pursuant to such Transaction Document
to which it is a party or of which it is an express third party beneficiary. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement,
Plum understands and agrees that any assets, properties and business of the Company and its Subsidiaries are furnished “as is,”
“where is” and subject to and except for the representations and warranties of the Company in Article IV or as provided
in any certificate delivered in accordance with Section 10.03(d)(i) with all faults and without any other representation or warranty
of any nature whatsoever.
(b) Effective

respective Subsidiaries and any of their respective current or former Affiliates or Representatives relating to the operation of any Party
or its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses prior to the Closing or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Schedules,
or the Exhibits to this Agreement, whether arising under or based upon any federal, state, local or foreign statute, Law, ordinance, rule
or regulation or otherwise. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that it will not assert, institute or maintain any Action, suit, investigation,
or proceeding of any kind whatsoever, including a counterclaim, cross-claim, or defense, regardless of the legal or equitable theory under
which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, that makes any claim contrary to the agreements and covenants set forth
in this Section 12.17. Each Party shall have the right to enforce this Section 12.17 on behalf of any Person that would
be benefitted or protected by this Section 12.17 if they were a party hereto. The foregoing agreements, acknowledgements, disclaimers
and waivers are irrevocable. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 12.17 shall limit, modify, restrict or operate
as a waiver with respect to, any rights any Party may have under any written agreement entered into in connection with the transactions
that are contemplated by this Agreement, including any Transaction Document.

This LOCK-UP AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [____], by and among (i) Plum Acquisition Corp. I, a Cayman

Any capitalized term used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Business Combination

WHEREAS, on November

of the Transaction Consideration, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement,
and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Act, Law 32, the DGCL and other applicable Law;
WHEREAS,
as of the date hereof, Holder is a holder of securities of Veea in such amounts as set forth underneath Holder’s name on the signature
page hereto; and
WHEREAS,
pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and in view of the valuable consideration to be received by Holder thereunder, the parties
desire to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which the Restricted Securities (as defined below) shall become subject to limitations
on disposition as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the premises set forth above, which are incorporated in this Agreement as if fully set forth below, and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby,
the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Lock-Up
Provisions.
(a) Subject
to the exceptions set forth herein, during the period (the “Lock-Up Period”) commencing from the Closing and
ending on:
(i)
with respect to one-third (1/3) of the Restricted Securities, the earliest of (x) the six (6) -month anniversary of the date of the Closing
(the “Expiration Date”), (y) the date on which the closing price of the New Plum Common Shares on the Nasdaq
(or other principal stock exchange or quotation service on which such shares then trade) equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as equitably
adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations after the Closing) for any twenty (20) trading days
within any thirty (30) trading day period commencing after the Closing, and (z) the date after the Closing on which the Purchaser consummates
a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Purchaser’s stockholders having the
right to exchange their equity holdings in the Purchaser for cash, securities or other property (a “Change of Control”);
(ii)
with respect to one-third (1/3) of the Restricted Securities, the earliest of (x) the Expiration Date, (y) the date on which the closing
price of the New Plum Common Shares on the Nasdaq (or other principal stock exchange or quotation service on which such shares then trade)
equals or exceeds $15.00 per share (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations after
the Closing) for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period commencing after the Closing, and (z) the date
after the Closing on which the Purchaser consummates a Change of Control; and
(iii) with
respect to one-third (1/3) of the Restricted Securities, the earliest of (x) the Expiration Date, (y) the date on which the closing price
of the New Plum Common Shares on the Nasdaq (or other principal stock exchange or quotation service on which such shares then trade) equals

Closing) for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period commencing after the Closing, and (z) the date after
the Closing on which the Purchaser consummates a Change of Control.
Holder hereby agrees not to:
(A) lend, offer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, donate, assign, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase
any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly,
any Restricted Securities, (B) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the
economic consequences of ownership of the Restricted Securities, or (C) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing, whether
any such transaction described in clauses (A) or (B) above is to be settled by delivery of Restricted Securities or other securities,
in cash or otherwise (any of the foregoing described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), a “Transfer”). For purposes
hereof, “Restricted Securities” shall mean the Transaction Consideration received by Holder in connection with
the Transactions (including all such securities, together with any securities paid as dividends or distributions with respect to such
securities or into which such securities are exchanged or converted), but, for the avoidance of doubt, shall exclude (1) any New Plum
Common Shares acquired as part of a Company Financing and (2) any New Plum Common Shares or other securities convertible into or exercisable
or exchangeable for New Plum Common Shares acquired by Holder in open market transactions after the Closing.
(b) For
the avoidance or doubt, the restrictions set forth in Section 1(a) shall not apply to:
(i) Transfers
(A) by gift, will or intestate succession upon the death of Holder, (B) to any Permitted Transferee (as defined below), (C) pursuant to
a court order or settlement agreement related to the distribution of assets in connection with the dissolution of marriage or civil union,
or (D) to an unaffiliated charity or educational institution;
(ii) pledges
of any Restricted Securities held by such Holder to a financial institution that create a mere security interest in such Restricted Securities
pursuant to a bona fide loan or indebtedness transaction so long as such Holder continues to control the exercise of the voting
rights of such pledged Restricted Securities as well as any foreclosures on such pledged Restricted Securities;
(iii) Transfers
to the Purchaser to satisfy tax withholding obligations pursuant to the Purchaser’s equity incentive plans or arrangements;
(iv) Transfers
to the Purchaser or Veea pursuant to any contractual arrangement in effect at the Closing that provides for the repurchase by the Purchaser
or Veea or forfeiture of such Holder’s Restricted Securities in connection with the termination of such Holder’s service to
the Purchaser or Veea, which Transfers are effectuated in accordance with the terms of such contractual arrangement; and
(v) the
entry, by Holder, at any time after the Closing, of any trading plan providing for the sale of New Plum Common Shares by Holder, which
trading plan meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provided, however,
that such plan does not provide for, or permit, the sale of any New Plum Common Shares during the Lock-Up Period;
provided,
however, that in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, it shall be a condition to such transfer that the transferee executes
and delivers to the Purchaser an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Restricted Securities subject to the
provisions of this Agreement applicable to Holder, and there shall be no further transfer of any such Restricted Securities except in
accordance with this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term “Permitted Transferee” shall mean: with
respect to Holder, (1) if such Holder is an individual, (A) the members of such Holder’s immediate family (for purposes of this
Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean with respect to any natural person, any of the following: such person’s
spouse, the siblings of such person and his or her spouse, and the direct descendants and ascendants (including adopted and step children
and parents) of such person and his or her spouses and siblings), (B) any transferee pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order
or by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of such Holder, (C) a partnership, limited liability company or other entity
of which such Holder and/or the immediate family of such Holder are the legal and beneficial owner of all of the outstanding equity securities
or similar interests, and (D) any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of such Holder or the immediate family of such Holder, (2)
if such Holder is a trust, the trustor or beneficiary of such trust or the estate of a beneficiary of such trust, (3) if such Holder is
an entity, (x) as a distribution to limited partners, shareholders, members, or owners of similar equity interests in such Holder upon
the liquidation and dissolution of such Holder, and (y) such Holder’s officers or directors or immediate family members of any of
such Holder’s officers or directors, and (4) any affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended)
of Holder. Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser that are consistent with the
foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.
(c) If
any Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Transfer shall be null and void ab initio,
and the Purchaser shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Restricted Securities as one of its equity holders for
any purpose. In order to enforce this Section 1, the Purchaser may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Restricted
Securities of Holder (and Permitted Transferees and assigns thereof) until the end of the Lock-Up Period.
(d) During
the Lock-Up Period, each certificate evidencing any Restricted Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially
the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends:
“THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF [__],
BY AND AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE “ISSUER”) AND THE ISSUER’S SECURITY HOLDER NAMED THEREIN, AS THE SAME
MAY BE AMENDED, RESTATED, SUPPLEMENTED AND/OR MODIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS TERMS. A COPY OF SUCH LOCK-UP AGREEMENT
WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”
(e) For
the avoidance of any doubt, Holder shall retain all of its rights as a stockholder of the Purchaser with respect to the Restricted Securities
during the Lock-Up Period, including the right to vote any Restricted Securities, but subject to the terms of the Business Combination
Agreement.
2. Miscellaneous.

of the parties hereunder shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier of (i) the termination of

Securities has any rights or obligations hereunder.

(h) Amendments
and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this
Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written
consent of the Purchaser and Holder. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.
No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be
or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision.
(i) Severability.
In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified
or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby nor shall the validity,
legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other
provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision
a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision.
(j) Specific
Performance. Holder acknowledges that Holder’s obligations under this Agreement are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the
event of a breach of this Agreement by Holder, money damages will be inadequate and the Purchaser may not have an adequate remedy at law,
and agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by Holder
in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Purchaser shall be entitled to seek an injunction
or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement by Holder and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without
the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other
right or remedy to which the Purchaser may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.
(k) Entire
Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly
canceled; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties
under the Business Combination Agreement or any Ancillary Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit
any of the rights or remedies of the Purchaser or any of the obligations of Holder under any other agreement between Holder and the Purchaser
or any certificate or instrument executed by Holder in favor of the Purchaser, and nothing in any other agreement, certificate or instrument
shall limit any of the rights or remedies of the Purchaser or any of the obligations of Holder under this Agreement.
(l) Further
Assurances. From time to time, at a party’s request and without further consideration (but at the requesting party’s reasonable
cost and expense), each party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably
necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Electronic Delivery. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the

the same validity and enforceability as an originally signed copy.

Exhibit A-2
Form of Plum Lock-Up Agreement
This LOCK-UP AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [ ], by and among (i) Plum Acquisition Corp. I, a Cayman
Islands exempted company limited by shares (the “Purchaser”), and (ii) the undersigned party (“Holder”).
Any capitalized term used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Business Combination
Agreement (as defined below).
WHEREAS, on November
27, 2023, the Purchaser, Veea Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Veea”), and Plum SPAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“Merger Sub”), entered into that certain Business Combination Agreement (as amended from time to
time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other
things, (i) Purchaser shall transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware and domesticate as a Delaware
corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the DGCL and Part XII of the Cayman Islands Act (the “Domestication”),
subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby
(the “Closing”), (ii) Merger Sub shall merge with and into Veea, with Veea continuing as the surviving entity
(the “Merger”), and, in connection therewith, each issued and outstanding security of Veea immediately prior
to the Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, in exchange for the right to receive a portion
of the Transaction Consideration, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement,
and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Act, Law 32, the DGCL and other applicable Law;
WHEREAS,
as of the date hereof, Holder is a holder of securities of Plum in such amounts as set forth underneath Holder’s name on the signature
page hereto; and
WHEREAS,
pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and in view of the valuable consideration to be received by Holder thereunder, the parties
desire to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which the Restricted Securities (as defined below) shall become subject to limitations
on disposition as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the premises set forth above, which are incorporated in this Agreement as if fully set forth below, and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby,
the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Lock-Up
Provisions.
(a) Subject
to the exceptions set forth herein, during the period (the “Lock-Up Period”) commencing from the Closing and
ending on:
(i)
with respect to one-third (1/3) of the Restricted Securities, the earliest of (x) the six (6) -month anniversary of the date of the Closing
(the “Expiration Date”), (y) the date on which the closing price of the New Plum Common Shares on the Nasdaq
(or other principal stock exchange or quotation service on which such shares then trade) equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as equitably
adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations after the Closing) for any twenty (20) trading days
within any thirty (30) trading day period commencing after the Closing, and (z) the date after the Closing on which the Purchaser consummates
a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Purchaser’s stockholders having the
right to exchange their equity holdings in the Purchaser for cash, securities or other property (a “Change of Control”);
(ii)
with respect to one-third (1/3) of the Restricted Securities, the earliest of (x) the Expiration Date, (y) the date on which the closing
price of the New Plum Common Shares on the Nasdaq (or other principal stock exchange or quotation service on which such shares then trade)
equals or exceeds $15.00 per share (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations after
the Closing) for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period commencing after the Closing, and (z) the date
after the Closing on which the Purchaser consummates a Change of Control; and
(iii) with
respect to one-third (1/3) of the Restricted Securities, the earliest of (x) the Expiration Date, (y) the date on which the closing price
of the New Plum Common Shares on the Nasdaq (or other principal stock exchange or quotation service on which such shares then trade) equals
or exceeds $17.50 per share (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations after the
Closing) for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period commencing after the Closing, and (z) the date after
the Closing on which the Purchaser consummates a Change of Control.
Holder hereby agrees not to:
(A) lend, offer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, donate, assign, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase
any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly,
any Restricted Securities, (B) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the
economic consequences of ownership of the Restricted Securities, or (C) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing, whether
any such transaction described in clauses (A) or (B) above is to be settled by delivery of Restricted Securities or other securities,
in cash or otherwise (any of the foregoing described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), a “Transfer”). For purposes
hereof, “Restricted Securities” shall mean the Transaction Consideration received by Holder in connection with
the Transactions (including all such securities, together with any securities paid as dividends or distributions with respect to such
securities or into which such securities are exchanged or converted), but, for the avoidance of doubt, shall exclude (1) any New Plum
Common Shares acquired as part of a Company Financing and (2) any New Plum Common Shares or other securities convertible into or exercisable
or exchangeable for New Plum Common Shares acquired by Holder in open market transactions after the Closing.
(b) For
the avoidance or doubt, the restrictions set forth in Section 1(a) shall not apply to:
(i) Transfers
(A) by gift, will or intestate succession upon the death of Holder, (B) to any Permitted Transferee (as defined below), (C) pursuant to
a court order or settlement agreement related to the distribution of assets in connection with the dissolution of marriage or civil union,
or (D) to an unaffiliated charity or educational institution;
(ii) pledges
of any Restricted Securities held by such Holder to a financial institution that create a mere security interest in such Restricted Securities
pursuant to a bona fide loan or indebtedness transaction so long as such Holder continues to control the exercise of the voting
rights of such pledged Restricted Securities as well as any foreclosures on such pledged Restricted Securities;
(iii) Transfers
to the Purchaser to satisfy tax withholding obligations pursuant to the Purchaser’s equity incentive plans or arrangements;
(iv) Transfers
to the Purchaser or Veea pursuant to any contractual arrangement in effect at the Closing that provides for the repurchase by the Purchaser
or Veea or forfeiture of such Holder’s Restricted Securities in connection with the termination of such Holder’s service to
the Purchaser or Veea, which Transfers are effectuated in accordance with the terms of such contractual arrangement; and
(v) the
entry, by Holder, at any time after the Closing, of any trading plan providing for the sale of New Plum Common Shares by Holder, which
trading plan meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provided, however,
that such plan does not provide for, or permit, the sale of any New Plum Common Shares during the Lock-Up Period;
provided,
however, that in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, it shall be a condition to such transfer that the transferee executes
and delivers to the Purchaser an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Restricted Securities subject to the
provisions of this Agreement applicable to Holder, and there shall be no further transfer of any such Restricted Securities except in
accordance with this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term “Permitted Transferee” shall mean: with
respect to Holder, (1) if such Holder is an individual, (A) the members of such Holder’s immediate family (for purposes of this
Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean with respect to any natural person, any of the following: such person’s
spouse, the siblings of such person and his or her spouse, and the direct descendants and ascendants (including adopted and step children
and parents) of such person and his or her spouses and siblings), (B) any transferee pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order
or by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of such Holder, (C) a partnership, limited liability company or other entity
of which such Holder and/or the immediate family of such Holder are the legal and beneficial owner of all of the outstanding equity securities
or similar interests, and (D) any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of such Holder or the immediate family of such Holder, (2)
if such Holder is a trust, the trustor or beneficiary of such trust or the estate of a beneficiary of such trust, (3) if such Holder is
an entity, (x) as a distribution to limited partners, shareholders, members, or owners of similar equity interests in such Holder upon
the liquidation and dissolution of such Holder, and (y) such Holder’s officers or directors or immediate family members of any of
such Holder’s officers or directors, and (4) any affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended)
of Holder. Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser that are consistent with the
foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.
(c) If
any Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Transfer shall be null and void ab initio,
and the Purchaser shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Restricted Securities as one of its equity holders for
any purpose. In order to enforce this Section 1, the Purchaser may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Restricted
Securities of Holder (and Permitted Transferees and assigns thereof) until the end of the Lock-Up Period.
(d) During
the Lock-Up Period, each certificate evidencing any Restricted Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially
the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends:
“THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF [__],
BY AND AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE “ISSUER”) AND THE ISSUER’S SECURITY HOLDER NAMED THEREIN, AS THE SAME
MAY BE AMENDED, RESTATED, SUPPLEMENTED AND/OR MODIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS TERMS. A COPY OF SUCH LOCK-UP AGREEMENT
WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”
(e) For
the avoidance of any doubt, Holder shall retain all of its rights as a stockholder of the Purchaser with respect to the Restricted Securities
during the Lock-Up Period, including the right to vote any Restricted Securities, but subject to the terms of the Business Combination
Agreement.
2. Miscellaneous.
(a) Termination
of Business Combination Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement and all rights and obligations
of the parties hereunder shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier of (i) the termination of
the Business Combination Agreement pursuant to its terms and (ii) the date on which none of the Purchaser or any holder of Restricted
Securities has any rights or obligations hereunder.
(b) Binding
Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon Holder upon Holder’s execution
and delivery of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall only become effective upon the Closing. This Agreement and all of the provisions
hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No
party hereto shall assign this Agreement or any part hereof without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, except that (i)
the Purchaser may freely assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any successor entity (whether by
merger, consolidation, equity sale, asset sale or otherwise) without obtaining the consent or approval of Holder, provided, that
no such assignment shall relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder, and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, in connection
with a transfer of any Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, any transferee to whom such Restricted Securities
are transferred shall thenceforth be entitled to all the rights and be subject to all the obligations under this Agreement.
(c) Third
Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any instrument or document executed by any
party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall create any rights in, or be deemed to have been executed for the benefit
of, any person or entity that is not a party hereto or thereto or a successor or permitted assign of such a party.
(d) Governing
Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof. All Actions

(or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any U.S. state or federal
court located in the State of Delaware (or in any appellate court thereof) (the “Specified Courts”). Each party
hereto hereby (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Specified Court for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating
to this Agreement brought by any party hereto and (ii) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or
otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property
is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is
improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by any Specified Court. Each party
agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in
any other manner provided by Law. Each party irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in
any other action or proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal
delivery of copies of such process to such party at the applicable address set forth in Section 2(g). Nothing in this Section
2(d) shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.
(e) WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL
BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE,
THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE
OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION
2(e).
(f) Interpretation.
The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this
Agreement. In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (i) any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding
masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa; (ii)

this Agreement. Consequently, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed
as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue

(h) Amendments
and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this
Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written
consent of the Purchaser and Holder. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.
No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be
or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision.
(i) Severability.
In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified
or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby nor shall the validity,
legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other
provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision
a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision.
(j) Specific
Performance. Holder acknowledges that Holder’s obligations under this Agreement are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the
event of a breach of this Agreement by Holder, money damages will be inadequate and the Purchaser may not have an adequate remedy at law,
and agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by Holder
in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Purchaser shall be entitled to seek an injunction
or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement by Holder and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without
the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other
right or remedy to which the Purchaser may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.
(k) Entire
Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly
canceled; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties
under the Business Combination Agreement or any Ancillary Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit
any of the rights or remedies of the Purchaser or any of the obligations of Holder under any other agreement between Holder and the Purchaser
or any certificate or instrument executed by Holder in favor of the Purchaser, and nothing in any other agreement, certificate or instrument
shall limit any of the rights or remedies of the Purchaser or any of the obligations of Holder under this Agreement.
(l) Further
Assurances. From time to time, at a party’s request and without further consideration (but at the requesting party’s reasonable
cost and expense), each party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably
necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(m) Counterparts;
Electronic Delivery. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the
same agreement. A photocopy, faxed, scanned and/or e-mailed copy of this Agreement or any signature page to this Agreement, shall have

Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.1.4 and Section 2.4 hereof, at any time and from time to time on or after the
Closing, the Holders of at least a majority in interest of the then-outstanding number of Registrable Securities (the “Demanding
Holders”) may make a written demand for Registration of all or part of their Registrable Securities, which written demand
shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such Registration and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof
(such written demand a “Demand Registration”). The Company shall, within five (5) Business Days of the Company’s
receipt of the Demand Registration, notify, in writing, all other Holders of Registrable Securities of such demand, and each Holder of
Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Registration
pursuant to a Demand Registration (each such Holder that includes all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such
Registration, a “Requesting Holder”) shall so notify the Company, in writing, within three (3) Business Days
after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company. Upon receipt by the Company of any such written notification from a Requesting
Holder(s) to the Company, such Requesting Holder(s) shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in a Registration
pursuant to a Demand Registration and the Company shall use best efforts to file, as soon thereafter as practicable, but not more than
forty five (45) days immediately after the Company’s receipt of the Demand Registration, the Registration of all Registrable Securities
requested by the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders pursuant to such Demand Registration. Under no circumstances shall the Company
be obligated to effect more than an aggregate of three (3) Registrations pursuant to a Demand Registration under this subsection 2.1.1
with respect to any or all Registrable Securities; provided, however, that a Registration shall not be counted for such
purposes unless a Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration statement that may be available at such time (“Form S-1”)
has become effective and all of the Registrable Securities requested by the Requesting Holders to be registered on behalf of the Requesting
Holders in such Form S-1 Registration have been sold, in accordance with Section 3.1 of this Agreement; provided, further,
that an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall not count as a Demand Registration.
2.1.2 Effective Registration.
Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 2.1.1 above or any other part of this Agreement, a Registration pursuant to a Demand
Registration shall not count as a Registration unless and until (i) the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect
to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration has been declared effective by the Commission and (ii) the Company has complied with
all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, further, that if, after such Registration Statement
has been declared effective, an offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration is subsequently
interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission, federal or state court or any other governmental agency, the Registration
Statement with respect to such Registration shall be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order
or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Demand
Registration thereafter affirmatively elect to continue with such Registration and accordingly notify the Company in writing, but in no
event later than five (5) days, of such election; provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated or required
to file another Registration Statement until the Registration Statement that has been previously filed with respect to a Registration
pursuant to a Demand Registration becomes effective or is subsequently terminated.
2.1.3 Underwritten Offering.
Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.1.4 and Section 2.4 hereof, if a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders
so advise the Company as part of their Demand Registration that the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration
shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering, then the right of such Demanding Holder or Requesting Holder (if any) to include its
Registrable Securities in such Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such Underwritten Offering
and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering to the extent provided herein. All such
Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.1.3 shall
enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the majority-in-interest
of the Demanding Holders initiating the Demand Registration.
2.1.4 Reduction of Underwritten
Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration, in good faith,
advises the Company, the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable
Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Company
Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and the shares of Company 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 shareholders
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 the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders
and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder and
Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Registration and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities
that the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders have requested be included in such Underwritten Registration (such proportion is referred
to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) second,
to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the shares of Company Common
Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;
and (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the
shares of Company Common Stock or other equity securities of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register in a
Registration pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum
Number of Securities.
2.1.5 Demand Registration
Withdrawal. A majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating a Demand Registration or a majority-in-interest of the Requesting
Holders (if any), pursuant to a Registration under subsection 2.1.1 shall have the right to withdraw from a Registration pursuant
to such Demand Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters
(if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the
Commission with respect to the Registration of their Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Registration
pursuant to a Demand Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.1.5.
2.2 Piggyback Registration.
2.2.1 Piggyback Rights.
If, at any time on or after the Closing, the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to
an 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 shareholders of the Company (or by the Company and by the shareholders of the Company including,
without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof), 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 Company’s existing shareholders,
(iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company, (iv) for an exchange offer or offering of securities
solely to the Company’s existing stockholders, (v) for a rights offering, (vi) for the exercise of any warrants or other Company
Convertible Securities, (vii) for an equity line of credit, or (viii) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall give written

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 Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to register the sale of such number
of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such written notice (such
Registration a “Piggyback Registration”); provided, that each such Holder agrees that the fact that such a notice
has been delivered shall constitute material non-public confidential information. Subject to subsection 2.2.2, the Company shall,
in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested by
the Holders pursuant to this subsection 2.2.1 to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any
similar securities of the Company 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. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities
through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.2.1 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with
the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company. The notice periods set forth in this subsection 2.2.1
shall not apply to an Underwritten Shelf Takedown conducted in accordance with subsection 2.3.3.
2.2.2 Reduction of Piggyback
Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration that is to be a Piggyback Registration (other
than Underwritten Shelf Takedown), in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback
Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Company Common Stock that the Company desires to sell, taken together
with (i) the shares of Company Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual
arrangements with persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (ii) the Registrable Securities as to
which registration has been requested pursuant Section 2.2 hereof, and (iii) the shares of Company Common Stock, if any, as to
which Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other shareholders of
the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:
(a) If the Registration is undertaken
for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first, the shares of Company Common Stock or other
equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (B) second,
to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of
Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 hereof, Pro Rata based on
the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has so requested exercising its rights to register its Registrable Securities

extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Company Common
Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other shareholders
of the Company, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

to a request by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall include in any such Registration
(A) first, the shares of Company Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than the
Holders of Registrable Securities, 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), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising
their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1, Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding
the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing
clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Company Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold
without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached
under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the shares of Company Common Stock or other equity securities for the account of other persons
or entities that the Company 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.
2.2.3 Piggyback Registration
Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason
whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw
from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such
Piggyback Registration. The Company (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 Commission 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, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration
prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.2.3.
2.2.4 Unlimited Piggyback
Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted
as a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration effected under Section 2.1 hereof.
2.3 Shelf Registrations.
2.3.1 The Holders of Registrable
Securities may at any time, and from time to time, request in writing that the Company, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act
(or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), register the resale of any or all of their Registrable Securities on
Form S-3 or similar short form registration statement that may be available at such time (“Form S-3”), or if
the Company is ineligible to use Form S-3, on Form S-1; a registration statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.3.1 (a “Shelf”)
shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available
to, and requested by, any Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect such request through an Underwritten
Offering. Within five (5) days of the Company’s receipt of a written request from a Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities
for a Registration on a Shelf, the Company shall promptly give written notice of the proposed Registration to all other Holders of Registrable
Securities, and each Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable
Securities in such Registration shall so notify the Company, in writing, within five (5) Business Days after the receipt by the Holder
of the notice from the Company. As soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, but not more than fifteen (15) days after the Company’s
initial receipt of such written request for a Registration on a Shelf, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file a
Shelf to register all or such portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities as are specified in such written request, together
with all or such portion of Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in the written
notification given by such Holder or Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such Registration
pursuant to this subsection 2.3.1 if the Holders of Registrable Securities, together with the Holders of any other equity securities
of the Company entitled to inclusion in such Registration, propose to sell the Registrable Securities and such other equity securities
(if any) at any aggregate price to the public of less than $10,000,000. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain
each Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, including to prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective
amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep such Shelf continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the
provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities included on such Shelf. In the event
the Company files a Shelf on Form S-1, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 to a Form S-3
as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3.
2.3.2 If any Shelf ceases to
be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities included thereon are still outstanding,
the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause such Shelf to again become
effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf),
and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably
expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional registration statement
(a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities including on such Shelf,
and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and reasonably requested by, any Holder. If a Subsequent Shelf
Registration is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration to become
effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf
Registration continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as
there are no longer any Registrable Securities included thereon. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-3 to the extent
that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on another appropriate form. In
the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, the Company,
upon request of a Holder shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to
be covered by either, at the Company’s option, a Shelf (including by means of a post-effective amendment) or a Subsequent Shelf
Registration and cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf Registration
shall be subject to the terms hereof; provided, however, the Company shall only be required to cause such Registrable Securities
to be so covered once annually after inquiry of the Holders.
2.3.3 Subject to Section 3.4,
at any time and from time to time after a Shelf has been declared effective by the Commission, the Sponsor may request to sell all or
any portion of its Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf (each, an “Underwritten
Shelf Takedown”); provided that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such
offering shall include securities with a total offering price (including piggyback securities and before deduction of underwriting discounts)
reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $10,000,000. All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written
notice to the Company at least five (5) Business Days prior to the public announcement of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, which shall
specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the expected price
range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. The Company shall include in any Underwritten
Shelf Takedown the securities requested to be included by any holder (each a “Takedown Requesting Holder”) at
least two (2) Business Days prior to the public announcement of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to written contractual piggyback
registration rights of such holder (including to those set forth herein). The Sponsor shall have the right to select the underwriter(s)
for such offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks), subject to the Company’s
prior approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Demanding Holders may demand an aggregate of not
more than four (4) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns pursuant to this Agreement), and the Company is not obligated to effect (x) more than
two (2) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns per year or (y) an Underwritten Shelf Takedown within sixty (60) days after the closing of a prior
Underwritten Shelf Takedown. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such Underwritten Shelf Takedowns, including
the filing of any prospectus supplement or any post-effective amendments and otherwise taking any action necessary to include therein
all disclosure and language deemed necessary or advisable by the Demanding Holder to effect such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. For purposes
of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to this subsection 2.3.3 shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Demand
Registration effected under Section 2.1 hereof.
2.3.4 If the managing Underwriter
or Underwriters in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith, advises the Company, the Sponsor and the Takedown Requesting Holders
(if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Sponsor and the Takedown Requesting Holders (if
any) desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Company Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires
to sell, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, as follows: (i)
first, the Registrable Securities of the Sponsor that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) second, to
the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the shares of Company Common Stock
or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and
(iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the shares
of Company Common Stock or other equity securities of the Takedown Requesting Holders, if any, that can be sold without exceeding the
Maximum Number of Securities, determined Pro Rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Takedown Requesting
Holder has so requested to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown.
2.3.5 The Sponsor shall have
the right to withdraw from an Underwritten Shelf Takedown for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and
the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of its intention to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown prior to the public announcement
of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for
the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with an Underwritten Shelf Takedown prior to a withdrawal under this subsection 2.3.5.
2.4 Restrictions on Registration
Rights. If (A) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date
of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date of, a Company initiated Registration
and provided that the Company has delivered written notice to the Holders prior to receipt of a Demand Registration pursuant to subsection
2.1.1 and it continues to actively employ, in good faith, all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Registration
Statement to become effective; (B) the Holders have requested an Underwritten Registration and the Company and the Holders are unable
to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite the offer; or (C) in the good faith judgment of the Board such Registration
would be seriously detrimental to the Company and the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer the filing of such Registration
Statement at such time, then in each case the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board
stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be seriously detrimental to the Company for such Registration Statement
to be filed in the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement. In such event, the
Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than sixty (60) days; provided, however, that the Company shall
not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any 12-month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, no Registration shall be effected or permitted and no Registration Statement shall become effective, with respect to any (i)
Sponsor Earnout Shares (as defined in the Sponsor Letter Agreement) or (ii) New Plum Common Shares issuable pursuant to Section 2.03 of
the Business Combination Agreement, held by any Holder, until such Registerable Securities have vested pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor
Letter Agreement or Business Combination Agreement, as applicable.
ARTICLE 3
COMPANY PROCEDURES
3.1 General Procedures.
If at any time on or after the Closing the Company is required to effect the Registration of Registrable Securities, the Company shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such Registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with
the intended plan of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:
3.1.1 prepare and file with the
Commission as soon as reasonably practicable a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective until all Registrable Securities covered
by such Registration Statement have been sold;
3.1.2 prepare and file with the
Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement, and such supplements to the Prospectus, as may
be requested by the Holders or any Underwriter of Registrable Securities or as may be required by the rules, regulations or instructions
applicable to the registration form used by the Company or by the Securities Act or rules and regulations thereunder to keep the Registration
Statement effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement are sold in accordance with the intended plan
of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;
3.1.3 prior to filing a Registration
Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the Underwriters, if any, and the Holders of
Registrable Securities included in such Registration, and such Holders’ legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as
proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents
incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus), and
such other documents as the Underwriters and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration or the legal counsel
for any such Holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holders;
3.1.4 prior to any public offering
of Registrable Securities, use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the
Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Holders
of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may request (or provide
evidence satisfactory to such Holders that the Registrable Securities are exempt from such registration or qualification) and (ii) take
such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by
such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other
acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement
to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify or take
any action to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise
so subject;
3.1.5 cause all such Registrable
Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are
then listed;
3.1.6 provide a transfer agent
or warrant agent, as applicable, and registrar for all such Registrable Securities no later than the effective date of such Registration
Statement;
3.1.7 advise each seller of such
Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission
suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly
use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should
be issued;
3.1.8 at least five (5) days
prior to the filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus
(other than by way of a document incorporated by reference) furnish a copy thereof to each seller of such Registrable Securities or its
counsel;
3.1.9 notify the Holders at any
time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening
of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a Misstatement,
and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof;
3.1.10 permit a representative
of the Holders, the Underwriters, if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate, at each
such person’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and
employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection
with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives or Underwriters enter into a confidentiality agreement,
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information; and, provided
further that such Holders, Underwriters, and their legal counsel must provide any comments promptly (and in any event with five (5) Business
Days) after receipt of such Registration Statement;
3.1.11 obtain a “cold comfort”
letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Registration, in customary form
and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably
request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders;
3.1.12 on the date the Registrable
Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company
for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Holders, the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if
any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the Holders, placement
agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters,
and reasonably satisfactory to the Company;
3.1.13 in the event of any Underwritten
Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter
of such offering;
3.1.14 make available to its
security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning
with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement which satisfies
the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission);
3.1.15 if the Registration involves
the Registration of Registrable Securities involving gross proceeds in excess of $50,000,000, use its reasonable efforts to make available
senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by
the Underwriter in any Underwritten Offering; and
3.1.16 otherwise, in good faith,
cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in connection with such Registration.
3.2 Registration Expenses.
The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall
bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts,
brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all
reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.
3.3 Requirements for Participation
in Underwritten Offerings. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Holder does not provide the Company
with its requested Holder Information, the Company may exclude such Holder’s Registrable Securities from the applicable Registration
Statement or Prospectus if the Company determines in good faith that such information is necessary to effect the Registration and such
Holder continues thereafter to withhold such information. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities
of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s
securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary
questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably
required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.
3.4 Suspension of Sales; Adverse
Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each
of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended
Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment
as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus
may be resumed. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any
time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial
statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Company 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, but in no event more than sixty (60) days, determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such
purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders 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. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised
its rights under this Section 3.4.
3.5 Reporting Obligations.
As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange
Act, covenants to use commercially reasonable efforts to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable
grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required
from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Company Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities
Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated
thereafter by the Commission, to the extent that such rule or such successor rule is available to the Company), including providing any
reasonably requested and customary legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written
certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
ARTICLE 4
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION
4.1 Indemnification.
4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify,
to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each person who controls such Holder
(within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees)
caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus
or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished
in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company 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 Holder.
4.1.2 In connection with any
Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing
such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus
and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the
Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation
reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus
or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained
in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that
the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of
each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the
sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities 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 the Company.
4.1.3 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 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.
4.1.4 The indemnification provided
for under this Agreement 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. The Company
and each Holder of Registrable Securities 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 the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable
for any reason.
4.1.5 If the indemnification
provided under Section 4.1 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 Holder under this subsection
4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder 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 subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 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 4.1.5 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 subsection 4.1.5. 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 subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Securities with respect to which rights under this Agreement are being transferred and the nature of the rights so transferred, and (b)

A Permitted Transferee of Registrable Securities who satisfies the conditions set forth in this subsection 5.2.2. shall henceforth be
a “Holder” for purposes of this Agreement.

of this Agreement or of any other term or provision hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision,
the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable

of which together shall constitute the same instrument, but only one of which need be produced.
5.5 Entire Agreement. This
Agreement (including all agreements entered into pursuant hereto and all certificates and instruments delivered pursuant hereto and thereto)
constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements,
representations, understandings, negotiations and discussions between the parties, whether oral or written, including, for the avoidance
of doubt, the Original RRA.
5.6 Governing Law; Venue.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE PLACE WHERE THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE EXECUTED BY ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT

AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN DELAWARE, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS OF SUCH JURISDICTION.
5.7 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.
EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING

HEREBY, OR THE ACTIONS OF THE SPONSOR IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.
5.8 Amendments and Modifications.
Upon the written consent of the Company and the Holders of at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities at the time in
question, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions,
covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver
hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of the shares of the Company, in a manner that is materially
different from the other Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Holder so affected. No course of dealing between
any Holder or the Company and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of a Holder or the Company in exercising any
rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Holder or the Company. No single or
partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other
rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party.
5.9 Titles and Headings.
Titles and headings of sections of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of any provision of this
Agreement. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires, (i) words using the singular or plural number also include the plural
or singular number, respectively, (ii) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereto”
and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement, (iii) the word “including” shall mean “including without
limitation,” (iv) the word “or” shall be disjunctive but not exclusive and (v) the phrase “to the extent”
means the degree to which a thing extends (rather than if).
5.10 Waivers and Extensions.
Any party to this Agreement may waive any right, breach or default which such party has the right to waive, provided that such waiver
will not be effective against the waiving party unless it is in writing, is signed by such party, and specifically refers to this Agreement.
Waivers may be made in advance or after the right waived has arisen or the breach or default waived has occurred. Any waiver may be conditional.
No waiver of any breach of any agreement or provision herein contained shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach
thereof nor of any other agreement or provision herein contained. No waiver or extension of time for performance of any obligations or
acts shall be deemed a waiver or extension of the time for performance of any other obligations or acts.
5.11 Remedies Cumulative.
In the event that the Company fails to observe or perform any covenant or agreement to be observed or performed under this Agreement,
the Holders may proceed to protect and enforce its rights by suit in equity or action at law, whether for specific performance of any
term contained in this Agreement or for an injunction against the breach of any such term or in aid of the exercise of any power granted
in this Agreement or to enforce any other legal or equitable right, or to take any one or more of such actions, without being required
to post a bond. None of the rights, powers or remedies conferred under this Agreement shall be mutually exclusive, and each such right,
power or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right, power or remedy, whether conferred by this Agreement or now or
hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.
5.12 Other Registration Rights.
The Company represents and warrants that no person, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities, has any right to require the Company
to register any securities of the Company for sale or to include such securities of the Company in any Registration filed by the Company
for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other person. Further, the Company represents and warrants that
this Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or agreement with similar terms and conditions and in the event of a
conflict between any such agreement or agreements (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Original RRA) and this Agreement, the terms
of this Agreement shall prevail.
5.13 Term. This Agreement
shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the twelfth anniversary of the date of this Agreement and (ii) the date as of which (A) no Registrable
Securities remain outstanding (but in no event prior to the applicable period referred to in Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act and
Rule 174 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission)) or (B) the Holders of all Registrable Securities
are permitted to sell all Registrable Securities without registration pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision) under the Securities
Act with no volume or other restrictions or limitations. The provisions of Article IV shall survive any termination. If the Business
Combination Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Closing, then this Agreement shall automatically be null
and void and the provisions of the Original RRA shall be automatically reinstated and in effect.

at such meeting or otherwise cause all Covered Shares (as defined below) owned by the Sponsor as of the record date of such meeting to
be counted as present thereat for the purpose of establishing a quorum;
(b) vote (or execute and return an action by
written consent), or cause to be voted (or validly execute and return and cause such consent to be granted with respect to), at such meeting
all of the Sponsor’s Covered Shares owned as of the record date for such meeting in favor of each of the Transaction Proposals and
any other matters necessary or reasonably requested by Plum for consummation of the Transactions, including any actions necessary to effectuate
the matters contemplated by the Transaction Proposals;
(c) vote (or execute and return an action by
written consent), or cause to be voted (or validly execute and return and cause such consent to be granted with respect to), at such meeting
all of the Sponsor’s Covered Shares owned as of the record date for such meeting in favor of any proposal to adjourn such meeting
to a later date (i) to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining the Plum Shareholder Approval, (ii) for the absence of
a quorum, or (iii) to allow reasonable time for the filing or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosures that Plum has determined,
based on the advice of outside legal counsel, is reasonably likely to be required under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended
disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the Pre-Closing Plum Holders; and
(d) vote (or execute and return an action by
written consent), or cause to be voted, at such meeting (or validly execute and return and cause such consent to be granted with respect
to) all of the Sponsor’s Covered Shares against any other Plum Acquisition Proposal and any other action that (i) would reasonably
be expected to materially impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, nullify or adversely affect the Transactions, or (ii) would result
in the failure of any condition set forth in Article X of the Business Combination Agreement to be satisfied or result in a breach of
any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of the Sponsor contained in this Agreement.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Covered Shares”
means all Plum Shares held by the Sponsor as of the date hereof together with any Plum Shares acquired by the Sponsor after the date hereof,
and any common stock of Plum issued in the Domestication in exchange for any such Plum Shares.
Section 2. Redemption; Other Agreements.
(a) Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated
in accordance with Section 8, the Sponsor agrees that the Sponsor shall not effect a Plum Shareholder Redemption.
(b) The Parties acknowledge that Sponsor may,
in its sole discretion, provide up to fifty (50%) percent of the Covered Shares to third parties to facilitate support for and consummation
of the Transaction Proposals, including, without limitation, incentives to provide interim financing, which shall not be subject to the
provisions of this Agreement that apply after the Closing (provided that such shares shall not be included as Plum Shares surrendered
and cancelled under Section 6 or Sponsor Earnout Shares under Section 7.
(c) Plum and the Sponsor shall exercise the option
to extend the period of time Plum is afforded under its Governing Documents to consummate a business combination (including any such right
or option that may require the payment of any amount by Plum or the Sponsor, or the addition of any such amount in the Trust Account),
and take all other actions necessary, such that the date by which Plum must, under its Governing Documents, consummate a business combination
is extended, to the extent permitted by its Governing Documents, until the earlier of (i) the Termination Date, and (ii) the Closing.
Section 3. Waiver of Anti-dilution Protection.
With respect to its Covered Shares, the Sponsor hereby waives and agrees to refrain from asserting or perfecting, subject to, conditioned
upon and effective as of immediately prior to, the occurrence of the Closing (for itself and for its successors and assigns), to the fullest
extent permitted by Law and the Governing Documents of Plum, any rights to adjustment of the conversion ratio with respect to the Covered
Shares owned by the Sponsor set forth in the Governing Documents of Plum. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Sponsor does not waive, or agree to refrain from asserting or perfecting any rights in the event the Business Combination Agreement is
terminated. If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated, this Section 3 shall be deemed null and void ab initio.
Section 4. Founder Letter Amendment. Reference
is made to the Founder Letter Amendment, which, among other things, provides that the Company shall be a party to the Founder Letter Amendment,
with rights to enforce the terms thereof. Each of the Sponsor and Plum further hereby agrees to enforce the terms of the Founder Letter
Amendment as the Company may reasonably request.
Section 5. Closing Date Deliverables. At
or prior to the Closing, the Sponsor shall deliver to Plum and the Company a copy of the Registration Rights Agreement duly executed by
the Sponsor and a Plum Lock-Up Agreement duly executed by the Sponsor.

or other Governmental Orders against Plum that remain unpaid as of the Closing, and (iii) any amounts incurred by Plum in connection with
the settlement of any Proceedings, disputes or other claims which amounts remain unpaid as of the Closing, but in each case of clause

Business Combination Agreement or transactions contemplated thereby.
(b) If the Accountable Plum Expenses exceed $2.5
million, the Sponsor shall, immediately prior to the Closing, forfeit and surrender for cancellation, or cause to be forfeited and surrendered
for cancellation, to Plum for no consideration, as a contribution to capital, a number of Covered Shares equal to (i) the amount by which
the Accountable Plum Expenses exceed $2.5 million, divided by (ii) $10.00. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Accountable Plum Expenses
that are either (the “First Dollar Accountable Plum Expenses”) (x) payable to the vendor specified on Schedule 1
hereto or (y) described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the definition of Accountable Plum Expenses shall be excluded from such $2.5 million
aggregate amount, and if there are any First Dollar Accountable Plum Expenses, without limiting any Covered Shares forfeited and surrendered
for cancellation pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6(b), the Sponsor shall, immediately prior to the Closing, forfeit and
surrender for cancellation, or cause to be forfeited and surrendered for cancellation, to Plum for no consideration, as a contribution
to capital, a number of Covered Shares equal to (i) the total amount of such First Dollar Accountable Plum Expenses, divided by (ii) $10.00.
Section 7. Sponsor Earnout.
(a) At the Closing, 1,726,994 of the Covered
Shares shall become subject to vesting and forfeiture as described in this Section 7 (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”).
If the Sponsor Earnout Shares shall not have vested on or before the last day of the Earnout Period, the Sponsor Earnout Shares shall
be surrendered to Plum and forfeited and shall be delivered in certificated or book-entry form to Plum for cancellation for no consideration
and shall cease to represent any interest in Plum, effective as of such date. Until and unless the Sponsor Earnout Shares are forfeited,
the Sponsor will have full ownership rights to the Sponsor Earnout Shares, including the right to vote such shares and to receive dividends
and distributions thereon, provided the Sponsor may not Transfer (as such term is defined in the Plum Lock-Up Agreement, a “Transfer”)
any Sponsor Earnout Shares before such shares vest. Any Transfer in violation of this Section 7(a) shall be null and void ab initio.
(b) If, at any time during the Earnout Period,
the Plum Common Share Price is greater than or equal to $12.50 for any twenty (20) Trading Days within any thirty- (30-) Trading Day period,
50% of the Sponsor Earnout Shares shall become fully vested.
(c) If, at any time during the Earnout Period,
the Plum Common Share Price is greater than or equal to $15.00 for any twenty (20) Trading Days within any thirty- (30-) Trading Day period,
all of the Sponsor Earnout Shares shall become fully vested.
(d) If, on or before the last day of the Earnout
Period, there is an Earnout Triggering Event, then immediately prior to the consummation of the applicable Change of Control Transaction:
(i) in the event the applicable Change of Control Transaction will result in the holders of New Plum Common Shares receiving a per share
price, or has an implied value per share (in either case, taking in account the issuance of the Earnout Consideration in accordance with
the Business Combination Agreement), equal to or in excess of $12.50 and the conditions set forth in clause (b) of this Section 7 have
not previously been satisfied, 50% of the Sponsor Earnout Shares shall immediately vest and the Sponsor shall receive the same per share
consideration (whether stock, cash or other property) in respect of such shares as the other holders of ordinary shares of Plum participating
in such Change of Control Transaction; (ii) in the event the applicable Change of Control Transaction will result in the holders of New
Plum Common Shares receiving a per share price, or has an implied value per share (in either case, taking in account the issuance of the
Earnout Consideration in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement), equal to or in excess of $15.00 and the conditions set forth
in clause (c) of this Section 7 have not been previously been satisfied, all of the Sponsor Earnout Shares shall immediately vest and
the Sponsor shall receive the same per share consideration (whether stock, cash or other property) in respect of such shares as the other
holders of ordinary shares of Plum participating in such Change of Control Transaction; and (iii) in the case of any Change of Control
Transaction that does not result in the vesting of all of the Sponsor Earnout Shares, Plum shall require that the acquiror in such Change
of Control Transaction agree to assume Plum’s obligations under this Section 7, unless otherwise agreed to by the Sponsor. For the
avoidance of doubt, any Sponsor Earnout Shares that will not vest in connection with a Change of Control Transaction will continue as
Sponsor Earnout Shares on and subject to the terms of this Agreement and will not be forfeited or cancelled, unless otherwise agreed to
by the Sponsor.
(e) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 7, in the event of a Change of Control Transaction that results in New Plum Common Shares no
longer being listed on the Stock Exchange or any other nationally-recognized securities exchange, any unvested Sponsor Earnout Shares
shall automatically vest regardless of whether an Earnout Triggering Event has occurred in connection with such Change of Control Transaction.
(f) In
the event of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares
or any similar event (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Transactions) affecting the New Plum Common Shares after the date of
this Agreement, the Earnout Triggering Events and the number of Sponsor Earnout Shares that will vest pursuant to this Section 7 shall
be equitably adjusted to provide the Sponsor the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.
Section 8. Termination. This Agreement,
and all of the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein (including any rights arising out of any breach
of any of such representation, warranties, agreements and covenants), shall automatically terminate, without any notice or other action
by any Party, and be void ab initio and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder
shall automatically terminate without any further liability on the part of any Party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of
(the “Termination Date”): (a) such date and time as the Business Combination Agreement is validly terminated in accordance
with its terms, (b) upon the completion of all obligations under Section 7 with respect to the Sponsor Earnout Shares in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, and (c) the mutual written agreement of the Parties hereto; provided, that nothing herein will relieve
any Party from liability for any breach hereof prior to the Termination Date, and each Party will be entitled to any remedies at law or
in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such breach. Plum and the Company shall notify the Sponsor of the
termination of the Business Combination Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement.
Section 9. No Recourse. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein or otherwise, but without limiting any provision in the Business Combination Agreement or any
other agreement contemplated by the Transactions, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or causes of action that
may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby, may only be made against the entities and persons that are expressly identified as Parties to this Agreement in their
capacities as such and no former, current or future stockholder, equity holders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees,
general or limited partners, members, managers, agents or Affiliates of any Party hereto, or any former, current or future direct or indirect
stockholder, equity holder, controlling person, director, officer, employee, general or limited partner, member, manager, agent or Affiliate,
family members, representatives and the respective successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (each, a “Non-Recourse Party”),
shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the Parties to this Agreement or for any claim (whether in tort, contract
or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby, the negotiation hereof or this Agreement,
or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith. Without limiting the rights of any Party
against the other Parties hereto, in no event shall any Party or any of its Affiliates seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any
claims for breach of this Agreement against, or in connection therewith seek to recover monetary damages from, any Non-Recourse Party.

anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) the Sponsor makes no agreement or understanding herein in any capacity other than in the
Sponsor’s capacity as a record holder and beneficial owner of Covered Shares, and (b) nothing herein will be construed to limit
or affect any action or inaction by Plum or any representative of the Sponsor serving as a member of the board of directors (or other
similar governing body) of Plum or as an officer, employee or fiduciary of Plum, in each case, acting in such person’s capacity
as a director, officer, employee or fiduciary of Plum.

(b) The Sponsor hereby represents and warrants
as of the date hereof to Plum and the Company (solely with respect to itself and not with respect to any other Party):

or filing with, any Governmental Authority or third party that has not been given or any such consents, approvals, authorizations, designations,
declarations, waivers or filings, the absence of which would not reasonably be expected to be, individually or in the aggregate, material
to the Sponsor, as applicable, in each case, to the extent such consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or
filing with, such Governmental Authority or third party would prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Person of its,

any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The equity securities set forth in such beneficial ownership reports filed with
the SEC and the private placement warrants held by Sponsor are the only equity securities in Plum owned of record or beneficially by the

arrangement with respect to the voting of such equity securities, except as provided hereunder and under the Founder Letter Amendment.
(iii) There are no Proceedings pending against
the Sponsor, or, to the knowledge of the Sponsor, threatened against it, before (or, in the case of threatened Proceedings, that would
be before) any arbitrator or any Governmental Authority, which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially delay
the performance by the Sponsor of its obligations under this Agreement or the Founder Letter Amendment.
(iv) Except as described in Section 5.06 and
Section 6.07 of the Business Combination Agreement, no broker, finder, investment banker or other similar Person is entitled to any brokerage

based upon arrangements made by the Sponsor, for which Plum or any of its Affiliates may become liable.
(v) The Sponsor understands and acknowledges
that each of Plum and the Company are entering into the Business Combination Agreement in reliance upon the Sponsor’s execution
and delivery of this Agreement.

Section 12. No Third Party Beneficiaries.

the Founder Letter Amendment and the Original Agreement (as defined in the Founder Letter Amendment), as amended thereby), and in the
event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and such other Transaction Document, the provisions which are more restrictive
upon the Sponsor will prevail.

AMENDMENT TO LETTER AGREEMENT
This AMENDMENT TO LETTER
AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of November 27, 2023, by and among (i) Plum
Acquisition Corp. I, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (the “Company”), (ii) Plum Partners,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and (iii) each of the undersigned Persons holding
Founder Shares listed on the signature pages hereto and any Persons holding Founder Shares that become a party to this Agreement after
the date hereof (collectively, the “Other Holders” and, collectively with the Sponsor, an “Insider”
and, collectively, the “Insiders”), pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement (as defined below). Capitalized
terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Original Agreement (as defined
below) and, if such term is not defined in the Original Agreement, then in the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Company, the
Sponsor and the other undersigned Insiders are parties to that certain Letter Agreement, dated as of March 18, 2021 (the “Original
Agreement” and, as amended by this Amendment, the “Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which the Sponsor
and the other undersigned Insiders agreed, among other matters, to certain transfer restrictions with respect to the Founder Shares and
the Private Placement Warrants (or shares issued or issuable upon the conversion or exercise thereof);
WHEREAS, on or about
the date hereof, the Company, Veea Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Veea”), and Plum SPAC Merger Sub, Inc, a Delaware
corporation (“Merger Sub”), will enter into that certain Business Combination Agreement (as amended, supplemented
and/or restated from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Business Combination Agreement”);
WHEREAS, pursuant to
the Business Combination Agreement, (a) the Company shall transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware
and domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the DGCL and Part XII of the Cayman Islands Act (the “Domestication”),
subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby
(the “Closing”), and (b) Merger Sub shall merge with and into Veea, with Veea continuing as the surviving entity
(the “Merger”), and, in connection therewith, each issued and outstanding security of Veea immediately prior
to the Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, in exchange for the right to receive a portion
of the Transaction Consideration, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement
and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Cayman Islands Act, the DGCL and other applicable Law;
WHEREAS, the parties
hereto desire to amend the Original Agreement (i) to revise the terms thereof in order to reflect the transactions contemplated by the
Business Combination Agreement, including, without limitation, the issuance of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the
Company (“New Plum Common Shares”) in exchange for the Plum Class A Shares in the Domestication, (ii) to amend
the lock-up provisions set forth in Section 5 of the Original Agreement, to become effective as of the Closing, as more particularly set
forth herein, and (iii) to grant Veea certain rights to enforce the terms of the Letter Agreement; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to
paragraph 12 of the Original Agreement, the Original Agreement can be amended as to any particular provision by a written instrument executed
by the Sponsor and each Insider that is the subject of any such change, amendment, modification or waiver.
NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and the mutual promises herein made, and in consideration of the representations, warranties and covenants
herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending
to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Amendments
to the Original Agreement. The Parties hereby agree to the following amendments to the Original Agreement:
(a) Clause
(a) of Section 5 of the Original Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following sentence at the end of the Section:
“Notwithstanding
anything in this Letter Agreement to the contrary, each Insider hereby agrees that commencing from and after the closing of a Business
Combination, in lieu of the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 5 of this Letter Agreement, which provisions shall not apply
to the Insiders after the Closing, such Insider and the Founder Shares owned by such Insider shall instead be bound by that certain Lock-Up
Agreement, dated as of November [ ], 2023, by and among the Company, Veea and such Insider, including, without limitation, the restrictions
on transfer set forth therein.”
(b) The
defined terms in this Amendment, including in the preamble and recitals hereto, and the definitions incorporated by reference from the
Business Combination Agreement, are hereby added to the Letter Agreement as if they were set forth herein.
(c) Each
Insider hereby waives (and agrees to execute such documents or certificates evidencing such waiver as the Company and/or Veea may reasonably
request) any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company
or any other anti-dilution or similar protection with respect to the Plum Class B Shares and the Plum Class A Shares (whether resulting
from the transactions contemplated hereby, by the Business Combination Agreement or any Transaction Document or by any other transaction
consummated in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby).
(d) The
parties hereby agree that, from and after the Closing, the terms “Ordinary Shares,” “Founder Shares,” and “Public
Shares,” as used in the Letter Agreement, shall include any and all New Plum Common Shares into which any such Ordinary Shares shall
convert in the Domestication (and any other securities of the Company or any successor entity issued in consideration thereof, including
as a result of a stock split, dividend or distribution, or in exchange for, any of such securities).
(e) Any
reference to the term “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) in the Letter Agreement means including
without limiting the generality of any description preceding or succeeding such term and shall be deemed in each case to be followed by
the words “without limitation”.
2. Termination
of Business Combination Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Business Combination
Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Closing, this Amendment and all rights and obligations of the parties
hereunder shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect.
3. Specific
Performance. Each party acknowledges that the rights of each party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique,
recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of the Letter Agreement by any party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching
parties may have not adequate remedy at law, and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of
the Letter Agreement were not performed by an applicable party in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly,
each party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of the Letter Agreement and to seek to enforce
specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages
would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such party may be entitled under the Letter Agreement,
at law or in equity.
4. Addition
of Veea as a Party to the Letter Agreement. The parties hereby agree to add Veea as a party to the Letter Agreement, with rights to
enforce the terms thereof.
5. Severability.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Amendment (and the Original Agreement as amended hereby) shall be interpreted in such a manner
as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any term or other provision of this Amendment (or the Original Agreement as
amended hereby) is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, all other provisions of this Amendment (and the
Original Agreement as amended hereby) shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions
contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other

Exhibit 10.3
FORM OF
STOCKHOLDER SUPPORT AGREEMENT
STOCKHOLDER SUPPORT AGREEMENT,
dated as of November 27, 2023 (this “Agreement”), by and among Plum Acquisition Corp. I, a Delaware corporation (“SPAC”),
Veea Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the stockholder of the Company whose name appears on the signature
page of this Agreement (the “Stockholder”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in the BCA (as defined below).
WHEREAS, SPAC, Plum SPAC Merger
Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of SPAC (“Merger Sub”), and the Company propose
to enter into, simultaneously herewith, a business combination agreement (the “BCA”), which provides, among other things,
that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, (i) SPAC shall transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands to
the State of Delaware and domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the DGCL and Part XII of the Cayman
Islands Act, and (ii) Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving
the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPAC; and
WHEREAS, as of the date hereof,
the Stockholder or its Affiliate owns of record or has the power to direct the vote of the number of shares of Company Capital Stock as
set forth on Exhibit A hereto (all such shares of Company Capital Stock, together with any other shares of Company Capital Stock
of which ownership of record or the power to direct the vote is acquired after the date hereof by the Stockholder or its Affiliate prior
to the termination of this Agreement, collectively referred to herein as the “Shares”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto
hereby agree as follows:
1. Agreement
to Vote.
(a) As
soon as reasonably practicable after the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act and delivered
or otherwise made available to the Company Stockholders, the Stockholder shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, at any meeting of the
Company Stockholders or class or series thereof, and in each written consent or resolutions of any of the Company Stockholders in which
the Stockholder or its Affiliate is entitled to vote, be present for any such meeting and vote (in person or by proxy), or consent to
any action by written consent or resolution with respect to, the Shares, to approve and adopt the BCA and the other Transaction Documents
to which the Company is a party, and approve the Company’s performance of its obligations thereunder and the Merger and the Transactions,
consistent with the Company’s requirements under Section 7.06 of the BCA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during
the term of this Agreement and prior to the Closing, (i) to the extent that it is necessary or advisable, in each case, as reasonably
determined by the Company and certified in writing thereby to the Stockholder, for any matters, actions or proposals to be approved by
the Stockholder or its Affiliates in connection with, or otherwise in furtherance of, the transactions contemplated by the BCA and/or
the other Transaction Documents, the Stockholder shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, vote (or cause to be voted) the Shares in favor
of and/or consent to any such matters, actions or proposals promptly, and (ii) the Stockholder shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to,
vote (or cause to be voted) the Shares against and withhold consent (to the extent the Stockholder’s or its Affiliate’s vote
or consent is requested) with respect to (A) any proposal relating to an Alternative Transaction (without limiting the rights of the Company’s
board of directors under Sections 7.05 and 11.01(j) of the BCA) or (B) any other matter, action or proposal that would reasonably be expected
to result in the failure of the Merger or the other Transactions from being consummated, in each case, as requested in writing by the
Company. The Stockholder acknowledges receipt of a copy of the BCA.
(b) Without
limiting any other rights or remedies of SPAC or the Company, the Stockholder, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby irrevocably
appoints each of SPAC and the Company or any individual designated by each of them (acting jointly) as the Stockholder’s and its
Affiliates’ respective agent, attorney-in-fact and proxy (with full power of substitution and resubstituting), for and in the name,
place and stead of such Stockholder or its Affiliates, to attend on behalf of such Stockholder or its Affiliates the general meeting or
any meeting of the stockholders of the Company with respect to the matters described in Section 1(a), to include the Shares in
any computation for purposes of establishing a quorum at any such meeting of the stockholders of the Company, to vote (or cause to be
voted) the Shares or consent (or withhold consent) with respect to any of the matters described in Section 1(a) in connection with
any meeting of the stockholders of the Company or any action by written consent by the stockholders of the Company, in each case, in the
event that (i) the Stockholder or its Affiliate fails to perform or otherwise comply with the covenants, agreements or obligations set
forth in Section 1(a) and continues to fail to perform or otherwise comply with the covenants, agreements or obligations set forth
in Section 1(a) for three (3) Business Days following written notice from the Company and SPAC of such failure to perform or comply,
or (ii) the Stockholder or its Affiliate challenges (in any Proceeding or otherwise), directly or indirectly, the validity or enforceability
of its covenants, agreements or obligations under Section 1(a), or the voting proxy it executes. For the avoidance of doubt, this
Section 1(b) does not prevent the Stockholder or its Affiliates from withdrawing or otherwise challenging the voting proxy if this
Agreement has terminated in accordance with its terms.
(c) The
proxy granted by the Stockholder on behalf of itself and its Affiliates pursuant to Section 1(b) is coupled with an interest sufficient
in law to support an irrevocable proxy and is granted in consideration for SPAC and the Company entering into the BCA and agreeing to
consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. The proxy granted by the Stockholder on behalf of itself and its Affiliates pursuant
to Section 1(b) is also a durable proxy and shall survive the bankruptcy, dissolution, death, incapacity or other inability to
act by the Stockholder or its Affiliate and, upon the Stockholder’s execution of this Agreement, shall revoke any and all prior
proxies granted by the Stockholder or its Affiliate with respect to the Shares. The proxyholder may not exercise the proxy granted pursuant
to Section 1(b) on any matter except for those matters described in Section 1(a), and shall only exercise such proxy granted
pursuant to Section 1(b) consistent with the provisions described in Section 1(a). For the avoidance of doubt, the proxy
granted by the Stockholder on behalf of itself and its Affiliates pursuant to Section 1(b) shall terminate automatically with no
further action required if the BCA (or any provision thereof) or any Transaction Documents (or any provision thereof) are entered into,
amended, supplemented, modified or waived in any manner adverse to the Stockholder or its Affiliate without the prior written consent
of such Stockholder, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
2. Termination
of Stockholders’ Rights under Applicable Agreements. The Stockholder, by execution of this Agreement, with respect to the Shares,
hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Affiliates to terminate, subject to the occurrence of, and effective immediately prior to, the
Effective Time and provided that all Terminating Rights (as defined below) between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any other
holder of Company Capital Stock shall also terminate at such time, if applicable to the Stockholder or its Affiliates, any rights under
any letter agreement providing for redemption rights, put rights, purchase rights, information rights, rights to consult with and advise
management, inspection rights, preemptive rights, Company board or director observer rights or rights to receive information delivered
to the Company’s board of directors or other similar rights not generally available to stockholders of the Company (the “Terminating
Rights”) between the Stockholder or its Affiliates and the Company, but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any rights the
Stockholder or its Affiliates may have that relate to any indemnification, commercial, employment or service agreements, any Company Convertible
Securities or any other arrangements between the Stockholder or its Affiliates and the Company or any Subsidiary, including without limitation
any rights under the BCA or other Transaction Documents, which shall survive in accordance with their terms.
3. No
Transfer of Shares. Except as expressly contemplated by the BCA, during the term of this Agreement, Stockholder on behalf of itself
and its Affiliates agrees that it shall not, and shall not permit its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, assign, transfer
(including without limitation by operation of Law), gift, convey, Lien, pledge, hypothecate, dispose of or otherwise encumber any of the
Shares or grant any security interest in, or otherwise agree to do any of the foregoing (collectively, a “Transfer”),
except for a Transfer of Shares pursuant to the BCA or to another Company Stockholder that is already party to a Stockholder Support Agreement
in substantially the form of this Agreement, (b) grant or agree to grant any proxy, power of attorney or other right to vote any of the
Shares, deposit any Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or power of attorney
with respect thereto that is inconsistent with this Agreement, or (c) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking
with respect to the direct or indirect Transfer of any Shares; provided that, the foregoing shall not prohibit the Transfer of
the Shares by the Stockholder or its Affiliate (i) to any of their respective Affiliates or (ii) to any other transferee that concurrently
with such Transfer executes and delivers to the Company and SPAC a Stockholder Support Agreement in substantially the form of this Agreement
with respect to the Shares subject to such Transfer.
4. Waiver
of Appraisal Rights. The Stockholder on behalf of itself and its Affiliates hereby agrees not to assert, exercise or perfect, directly
or indirectly, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives, any appraisal rights (including without limitation under Section 262 of the
DGCL) with respect to the Merger and any rights to dissent with respect to the Merger or to oppose any reorganization or amendment designed
to facilitate drag along rights or otherwise facilitate the BCA.
5. Representations
and Warranties of the Stockholder. The Stockholder represents and warrants to SPAC as follows:
(a) The
execution, delivery and performance by the Stockholder or its Affiliate of this Agreement and the consummation by the Stockholder or its
Affiliate of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any Law applicable to the Stockholder
or its Affiliate, (ii) require any consent, approval or authorization of, declaration, filing or registration with, or notice to, any
Person, (iii) result in the creation of any encumbrance on any Shares (other than under this Agreement, the BCA and the other agreements
contemplated by the BCA), or (iv) if the Stockholder or its Affiliate is not a natural Person, conflict with or result in a breach of
or constitute a default under any provision of the Stockholder’s or its Affiliates’ governing documents, as applicable.
(b) As
of the date of this Agreement, the Stockholder or its Affiliate owns exclusively of record and has good and valid title to, or has the
power to direct the vote of, the Shares set forth on Exhibit A, and in the case of Shares owned of record, such Shares are owned
free and clear of any Lien, proxy, option, right of first refusal, agreement, voting restriction, limitation on disposition, charge, adverse
claim of ownership or use or other encumbrance of any kind, other than pursuant to (i) this Agreement, (ii) applicable securities Laws,
and (iii) the Company’s Governing Documents. As of the date of this Agreement, the Stockholder or its Affiliate has the sole power
(as currently in effect) to vote and, in the case of Shares owned of record, right, power and authority to sell, transfer and deliver
the Shares, and the Stockholder and its Affiliates do not own, directly or indirectly, or have the right to direct the vote of any other
shares of Company Capital Stock.
(c) The
Stockholder or its Affiliates, in each case except as provided in this Agreement or the Company’s Governing Documents, (i) has full
voting power, full power of disposition and full power to issue instructions with respect to the matters set forth herein whether by ownership
or by proxy, in each case, with respect to the Shares, (ii) has not entered into any voting agreement or voting trust (and the Stockholder
has no knowledge of any such voting agreement or voting trust in effect) with respect to any Shares that is inconsistent with the Stockholder’s
or its Affiliates’ obligations pursuant to this Agreement or would reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the performance by
the Stockholder or its Affiliate of their obligations under this Agreement, (iii) has not granted a proxy or power of attorney with respect
to any Shares that is inconsistent with the Stockholder’s or its Affiliates’ obligations pursuant to this Agreement (and the
Stockholder has no knowledge of any such proxy or power of attorney in effect), and (iv) has not entered into any agreement or undertaking
that is otherwise inconsistent with, or would interfere with, or prohibit or prevent it from satisfying, its obligations pursuant to this
Agreement (and the Stockholder has no knowledge of any such agreement or undertaking).
(d) The
Stockholder has the power, authority and capacity to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and this Agreement has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Stockholder.
(e) As
of the date of this Agreement, there are no Proceedings pending against the Stockholder or its Affiliate or, to the knowledge of the Stockholder,
threatened against the Stockholder or its Affiliate that, in any manner, questions the beneficial or record ownership of the Shares or
the validity of this Agreement, or challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by the Stockholder or its
Affiliates of their obligations under this Agreement.
(f) The
Stockholder is a sophisticated stockholder and has adequate information concerning the business and financial condition of SPAC and the
Company to make an informed decision regarding this Agreement and the other transactions contemplated by the BCA and has independently
made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. The Stockholder acknowledges that SPAC and the Company have not made
and do not make any representation or warranty to Stockholder, whether express or implied, of any kind or character except as expressly
set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which the Stockholder is a party.
(g) Other
than as provided in the BCA, neither the Stockholder nor its Affiliates has made, nor has any third party made on behalf of the Stockholder
or its Affiliate, any arrangement for any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission
for which SPAC, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries is or would reasonably be expected to be liable in connection with
the BCA or this Agreement or any of the respective transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
(h) The
Stockholder understands and acknowledges that SPAC is entering into the BCA in reliance upon the Stockholder’s execution and delivery
of this Agreement and the representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements of the Stockholder contained herein.
6. Termination.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement and the obligations of the Stockholder and its Affiliates under
this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the earliest of (a) the mutual written consent of SPAC, the Company and the Stockholder,
(b) the Effective Time and (c) the termination of the BCA in accordance with its terms. Upon termination of this Agreement, none of the
parties shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section
6 shall relieve any party of liability for any willful material breach of this Agreement occurring prior to termination. The representations
and warranties contained in this Agreement and in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto shall not survive the Closing
or the termination of this Agreement.
7. Miscellaneous.

shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

requested) or delivery in person to the respective parties at the following addresses and e-mail addresses (or at such other address or
email address for a party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 7(b)):

(c) If
any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy,
all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal
substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination
that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith
to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in
order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
(d) This
Agreement is intended to create, and creates, a contractual relationship and is not intended to create, and does not create, any agency,
partnership, joint venture, or any like relationship between the parties hereto or among any other Company Stockholders entering into
stockholder support agreements with the Company and/or SPAC. The Stockholder is not affiliated with any other holder of securities of
the Company entering into a stockholder support agreement with the Company and/or SPAC in connection with the BCA and has acted independently
regarding its decision to enter into this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in SPAC any direct or
indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Shares.
(e) This
Agreement and any other Transaction Documents to which the Stockholder is a party (together with the BCA to the extent referred to herein)
constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings,
both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall not be assigned
(whether pursuant to a merger, by operation of law or otherwise), by any party without the prior express written consent of the other
parties hereto.
(f) This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective permitted assigns, and nothing
in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature
whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
(g) This
Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented in any manner, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, except by an instrument
in writing signed by each of the parties hereto. The provisions of this Agreement may not be waived, except in a writing signed by the
party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate
as a waiver thereof. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances,
shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision.
(h) Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other
remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity, upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise
of any other remedy. The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate
remedy, would occur in the event that any party does not perform his, her or its respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement
in accordance with their respective specific terms or otherwise breaches such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that each party shall
be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and
to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof
of damages and this being in addition to any other remedy to which the same is entitled at law or in equity. Each party agrees that it
will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not
an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.
(i) This
Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in
and to be performed in that State. All Proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively
in any Delaware Chancery Court; provided, that if jurisdiction is not then available in the Delaware Chancery Court, then any such legal
Proceeding may be brought in any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any other Delaware state court. The parties hereto
hereby (i) irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for themselves and with respect to their respective
properties for the purpose of any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto, and (ii) agree
not to commence any Proceeding relating thereto except in the courts described above in Delaware, other than Proceedings in any court
of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any such court in Delaware as described herein. Each of
the parties further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process and the parties further waive
any argument that such service is insufficient. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert,
by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby, (A) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Delaware as described herein
for any reason, (B) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced
in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution
of judgment or otherwise) and (C) that (x) the Proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (y) the venue of such
Proceeding is improper, or (z) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.
(j) This
Agreement may be executed and delivered (including without limitation by facsimile or portable document format (.pdf) transmission) in
one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to
be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
(k) The
Stockholder on behalf of itself and its Affiliates hereby authorizes the Company and SPAC to publish and disclose in any announcement
or disclosure required by the SEC the Stockholder’s and/or its Affiliates’ identity and ownership of Shares and the nature
of the Stockholder’s and its Affiliates’ obligations under this Agreement; provided, that prior to any such publication or
disclosure the Company and SPAC have provided the Stockholder with an opportunity to review and comment upon such announcement or disclosure,
which comments the Company and SPAC will consider in good faith.
(l) Without
further consideration, each party shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such additional documents and instruments
and take such further action as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(m) This
Agreement shall not be effective or binding upon the Stockholder or its Affiliates until after such time as the BCA is executed and delivered
by the Company, SPAC and Merger Sub.
(n) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Stockholder signs this Agreement solely in the Stockholder’s and its Affiliates’ capacity
as a stockholder of the Company, and not in any other capacity and, if applicable, this Agreement shall not limit or otherwise affect
the actions of the Stockholder or any Affiliate, Representative or designee of the Stockholder or any of its Affiliates in his or her
capacity as an officer or director of the Company or its Subsidiaries.
(o) Each
of the parties hereto hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect
to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto (i) certifies
that no Representative of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation,
seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section
7(o).
