2
(x) Transfers to the Company pursuant to any contractual arrangement in effect at the Closing of the Business Combination that provides for the repurchase by the Company or forfeiture of Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock in connection with the termination of the Securityholder’s service to the Company;

(xii) Transfers in the event of completion of a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s securityholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property; and

provided, however, that (A) in the case of clauses (i) through (vii), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement, in substantially the form of this Agreement (it being understood that any references to “immediate family” in the agreement executed by such transferee shall expressly refer only to the immediate family of the Securityholder and not to the immediate family of the transferee), agreeing to be bound by these Transfer restrictions. For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean a spouse, domestic partner, child (including by adoption), father, mother, brother or sister of the undersigned, and lineal descendant (including by adoption) of the undersigned or of any of the foregoing persons; and “affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
3. The Lock-up Period shall terminate upon the earlier of (A) one year after the Closing, (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transactions that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of cash, securities or other property, and (C) with respect to 1/3 of the Lock-up Shares in each instance, the dates subsequent to the Closing on which the price of the Company’s Common Stock equals or exceeds a target price of $12.00, $13.00 and $14.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and other similar transactions) for a period of 20 trading days within any consecutive 30 trading day period. Multiple target prices may be met simultaneously. In no event shall any Securityholder Transfer within any continuous 90-day period more than 1/3 of the Lock-up Shares originally issued to such Securityholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lock-up Period for the Private Placement Warrants or the underlying shares shall terminate 30 days after the Closing. “Private Placement Warrants” mean the 6,375,000 warrants of the Company that certain initial stockholders purchased in a private placement that occurred substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering.

4. For the avoidance of doubt, each Securityholder shall retain all of its rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Lock-up Shares during the Lock-up Period, including the right to vote any Lock-up Shares that are entitled to vote.
5. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company, and any duly appointed transfer agent for the registration or transfer of the securities described therein, are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement, and such purported Transfer shall be null and void ab initio. In addition, during the Lock-up Period, each certificate or book-entry position evidencing the Lock-up Shares shall be marked with a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends:

6. Each Securityholder hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(i) Such Securityholder has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform such Securityholder’s obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Securityholder has been duly and validly authorized and no other action on the part of such Securityholder is necessary to authorize this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Securityholder and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other Securityholders and Company, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Securityholder, enforceable against such Securityholder in accordance with its terms, subject to the Remedies Exceptions.
(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Securityholder does not, and the performance of this Agreement by such Securityholder will not: (i) conflict with or violate any applicable law applicable to such Securityholder, (ii) contravene or conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of, any provision of any charter, articles of association, operating agreement or similar formation or governing documents and instruments of such Securityholder, or (iii) result in any breach of or constitute a material default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a material default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of a Lien on any of the Lock-up Shares that is held by such Securityholder pursuant to any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument (whether written or oral) to which such Securityholder is a party or by which such Securityholder is bound, except, in the case of clause or (iii), for any such conflicts, violations, breaches, defaults or other occurrences which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of such Securityholder to perform such Securityholder’s obligations hereunder.
4
(iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Securityholder does not, and the performance of this Agreement by such Securityholder will not, require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to, or expiration or termination of any waiting period by, any Governmental Authority or any other person, except (i) for applicable requirements, if any, of the Exchange Act, the Securities Act, and Blue Sky Laws and (ii) where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations or permits, or to make such filings or notifications, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of such Securityholder to perform such Securityholder’s obligations hereunder.
(iv) There is no material Action pending or, to the knowledge of such Securityholder, threatened against such Securityholder, which in any manner challenges or, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to materially delay or impair the ability of such Securityholder to perform such Securityholder’s obligations hereunder.
7. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties under the BCA, any Forward Purchase Agreement or any Subscription Agreement or any documents related thereto or referred to therein. This Agreement may not be changed, amended, modified or waived (other than to correct a typographical error) as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by (i) the applicable Securityholder and (ii) the Company.
8. 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, except in connection with a Transfer by MCAC to its shareholders, but, with respect to any shareholder of MCAC, only if such shareholder agrees to become bound by the restrictions set forth in this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Any attempted assignment in violation of the terms of this paragraph 8 shall be null and void, ab initio.
9. 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.

The parties hereto hereby (a) irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for themselves and with respect to their respective properties for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto, and (b) agree not to commence any Action relating thereto except in the courts described above in Delaware, other than Actions 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 Action 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 (i) the Action in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such Action is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.
5
10. 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, 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 that foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this paragraph 10.
11. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof, and, accordingly, that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, County of New Castle, or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, any court of the United States located in the State of Delaware without proof of actual damages or otherwise, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereto hereby further waives (i) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and (ii) any requirement under any law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.
12. This Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as of the date of this Agreement and may not be revoked by any party hereto; provided that the provisions herein (other than paragraphs 6 through 14) shall not be effective until the consummation of the Closing Date. This Agreement shall not terminate with respect to a Securityholder until the expiration of the Lock-up Period.
13. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by electronic means, including DocuSign, e-mail, or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.
