On September 29, 2021, Amicus Therapeutics, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the “Amicus”), ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“ARYA”),
Amicus GT Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Amicus (“Amicus GT”), and
Caritas Therapeutics, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Amicus GT (“Caritas”),
entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business
Combination Agreement”). This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A is being filed to describe the material terms of the Business Combination Agreement and related agreements,
which are filed as exhibits herewith.
Item
1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement
Business Combination Agreement
The Business Combination
The Business Combination Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby were unanimously approved by the boards of directors of each of Amicus and ARYA. The Business
Combination Agreement provides for, among other things, the following transactions: (i) a pre-closing reorganization of Amicus
pursuant to which the entities and assets constituting Amicus’ gene therapy business (such entities, the “Amicus GT
Entities”) will be transferred to Caritas (the “Pre-Closing Reorganization”), (ii) ARYA will
change its jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and continuing and
domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”) and, in
connection with the Domestication, (A) ARYA’s name will be changed to “Caritas Therapeutics, Inc.”
(“New Caritas”) (unless such name is not available in Delaware or ARYA is otherwise unable to change its name to
“Caritas Therapeutics, Inc.,” in which case ARYA shall cause its name to change to such other name mutually agreed
to by ARYA and Amicus (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by either ARYA or Amicus),
(B) each outstanding Class A ordinary share of ARYA and each outstanding Class B ordinary share of ARYA will become
one share of Class A Common Stock of New Caritas (the “Caritas Common Stock”), and (C) ARYA will amend
and restate its certificate of incorporation and bylaws in connection with the Domestication and (iii) (A) Amicus will
cause the existing limited liability company agreement of Caritas to be amended and restated, (B) Amicus will cause all of the
limited liability company interests of Caritas existing immediately prior to the Closing (as defined in the Business Combination
Agreement) to be re-classified into a number of common units (“Units”) equal to the Transaction Equity Security
Amount (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) based on a pre-transaction equity value for Caritas of $175,000,000,
(C) Amicus will make an additional cash contribution of $50 million (the “Amicus Contribution Amount”) in
exchange for a number of Units equal to Amicus Contribution Equity Amount (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement),
(D) ARYA will contribute the Closing Date Contribution Amount (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) to Caritas in
exchange for a number of Units equal to the Net Outstanding ARYA Class A Shares (as defined in the Business Combination
Agreement) and (E) New Caritas will issue to Amicus GT a number of Class B Shares, par value $0.0001 per share of New
Caritas (the “Class B Shares”) (which will have no economic value but will entitle the holder thereof to one
vote per share), equal to the number of Units held by Amicus GT.
The Pre-Closing Reorganization, the Domestication
and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Business Combination”.
A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is
filed with this Current Report 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.
Following the Business Combination, the combined
company will be organized in an “Up-C” structure, in which substantially all of the assets and business of New Caritas will
be held by Caritas and will operate through Caritas and the subsidiaries of Caritas, and New Caritas will be a publicly listed holding
company that will hold equity interests in Caritas. At the Closing, Caritas and Amicus GT, its sole equity holder will amend and restate
the limited liability company agreement of Caritas (the “A&R Company LLC Agreement”) in its entirety to, among
other things, provide Amicus GT the right to redeem its Units for cash or, at New Caritas’ option, Class A Shares, in each
case subject to certain restrictions set forth therein.
The form of the A&R Company LLC Agreement is
filed with this Current Report as Exhibit 10.3 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the A&R
Company LLC Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.
Concurrent with the closing of the transactions
contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, New Caritas will enter into the tax receivable agreement (the “Tax Receivables
Agreement”) with Caritas, Amicus GT, New Caritas and the other persons from time to time that become a party thereto (such other
persons and Amicus GT, collectively, the “TRA Participants”). Pursuant to the Tax Receivables Agreement, New Caritas
will be required to pay the TRA Participants 85% of the amount of savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that New
Caritas actually realizes (computed using certain simplifying assumptions) as a result of the increases in tax basis related to any exchanges
of Units for Class A Shares. All such payments to the TRA Participants will be New Caritas’ obligation, and not that of Caritas.
The form of the Tax Receivables Agreement is filed
with this Current Report as Exhibit 10.4 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Tax Receivables
Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.
The Business Combination is expected to close in
late 2021 or early 2022, following the receipt of the required approval by ARYA’s shareholders and the fulfillment of other customary
closing conditions.
Representations and Warranties; Covenants
The Business Combination Agreement contains representations,
warranties and covenants of each of the parties thereto that are customary for transactions of this type, subject to a mutual indemnity
for specified matters. Amicus and ARYA have also agreed to take all action within their respective power as may be necessary or appropriate
such that, immediately after the Closing, the New Caritas board of directors will consist of seven directors, which shall be divided into
three classes and be comprised of seven individuals determined by Amicus, ARYA Sciences Holdings IV (“ARYA Sponsor”)
and ARYA prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement as follows: two directors that will be designated by Amicus; one
director that will be designated by ARYA Sponsor; and four directors that Amicus and ARYA will mutually agree to designate.
Conditions to Each Party’s Obligations
The obligation of Amicus, Amicus GT, Caritas
and ARYA to consummate the Business Combination is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the
expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended,
(ii) the absence of any order, law or other legal restraint or prohibition issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or other
governmental entity of competent jurisdiction prohibiting or preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business
Combination Agreement, (iii) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”)
in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act registering the ARYA Class A Common Stock to be issued in the Business Combination,

Business Combination, (vi) the approval by Nasdaq of ARYA’s initial listing application in connection with the Business Combination
and (vii) the aggregate cash proceeds from ARYA’s trust account, together with the proceeds from the Caritas PIPE Investment
(as defined below) and Amicus Contribution Amount, equaling no less than $300,000,000 (after deducting any amounts paid to ARYA shareholders
that exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination).
Termination
The Business Combination Agreement may be
terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances prior to the closing of the Business Combination, including, but not
limited to, (i) by mutual written consent of ARYA and Amicus, (ii) by ARYA if the representations and warranties of the
Amicus GT Entities are not true and correct or if Amicus, Amicus GT or Caritas fails to perform any covenant or agreement set forth
in the Business Combination Agreement, in each case such that certain conditions to closing cannot be satisfied and the breach or
breaches of such representations or warranties or the failure to perform such covenant or agreement, as applicable, are not cured or
cannot be cured within certain specified time periods, (iii) by Amicus if the representations and warranties of ARYA are not
true and correct or if ARYA fails to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, in each case
such that certain conditions to closing cannot be satisfied and the breach or breaches of such representations or warranties or the
failure to perform such covenant or agreement, as applicable, are not cured or cannot be cured within certain specified time
periods, (iv) subject to certain limited exceptions, by either ARYA or Amicus if the Closing has not occurred by
March [29], 2022, (v) by either ARYA or Amicus if certain required approvals are not obtained from ARYA shareholders
after the conclusion of a meeting of ARYA’s shareholders held for such purpose at which such shareholders voted on such
approvals and (vi) by either ARYA or Amicus, if any governmental entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued an
order permanently enjoining or prohibiting the transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement and such order
shall have become final and nonappealable.
If the Business Combination Agreement is validly
terminated, none of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement will have any liability or any further obligation under the Business
Combination Agreement, except in the case of a willful and material breach or Fraud (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement)
and for customary obligations that survive the termination thereof (such as confidentiality obligations).

(ii) each Class B Shareholder agreed to waive any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in the governing documents of
ARYA or any other anti-dilution or similar protection with respect to the Class B ordinary shares (whether resulting from the transactions

certain existing agreements or arrangements and (iv) each Class B Shareholder agreed to be bound by certain transfer restrictions

in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) thereof.
Forward Looking Statements
Certain
statements in this Current Report may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities
laws. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to (i) Caritas’ commercialization
of its current and future product candidates, (ii) trends in the genomic medicine industry, (iii) Caritas’ targeted customers
and suppliers and the expected arrangements with them, (iv) Caritas’ projected operational performance, including relative
to its competitors, (v) the Business Combination between ARYA and Amicus, (vi) the estimated or anticipated future results
and benefits of the combined company following the Business Combination, including the likelihood and ability of the parties to successfully
consummate the Business Combination, future opportunities for the combined company; and (vii) other statements regarding ARYA’s,
Amicus’ or Caritas’ expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements
that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions,
are forward-looking statements. The words” anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,”
“estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,”
“potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “strive,” “would”
and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not
forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current
expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are provided for
illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on, by any investor as a guarantee, an assurance,
a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict
and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Arya, Amicus and Caritas. You should
carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of ARYA’s final prospectus relating
to its initial public offering, dated February 25, 2021, any proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Business Combination, which
is expected to be filed by ARYA with the SEC, other documents filed by ARYA from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s
(“SEC”), and any risk factors made available to you in connection with the Business Combination. These forward-looking
statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond the control of ARYA, Amicus and Caritas), and other assumptions,
that may cause Caritas’ or ARYA’s actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied
by these forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and assumptions that will be described in any proxy statement/prospectus
relating to Caritas and the Business Combination, include, but are not limited to: Caritas’ assumptions about the size and timing
of the market opportunity for its product candidates, which is based, in part, on third-party survey data and reports commissioned by
Caritas, and Caritas’ assumptions about the portion of such market opportunity that Caritas can capture and the timing thereof;
Caritas’ ability to obtain required regulatory approvals for its product candidates; inability to gain acceptance of any approved
product candidates by physicians, patients, third-party payors and others in the medical community; competition in the discovery, development
and commercialization of products; FDA and other regulatory approval of biosimilar products that compete with Caritas’ product candidates;
unfavorable pricing regulations, third-party coverage and reimbursement practices with respect to future products; difficulty predicting
the time cost of product candidate development; ability to demonstrate safety and efficacy of product candidates in clinical trials; reliance
on third parties to conduct certain preclinical development activities and clinical trials and the potential failure of those third parties
in meeting deadlines for such trials; delays or difficulties enrolling patients in clinical trials; the possibility that product candidates
could cause undesirable side effects; the possibility that any product candidate for which marketing approval is obtained could be subject
to restrictions or withdrawal from the market; negative public opinion and increased regulatory scrutiny of genomic medicines and their
impact on public perception of the safety of Caritas’ product candidates; inability to obtain or maintain designations for expedited
regulatory pathways for some or all Caritas’ current product candidates; inability to obtain or maintain regulatory approves in
foreign jurisdictions; inability to enter into agreements for commercial supply with third-party manufacturers on acceptable terms; inability
to establish or maintain collaborations; unavailability of materials necessary to manufacture Caritas’ product candidates on commercially
reasonable terms; inability to obtain and maintain patent protection for technology and future products; inability to register trademarks
in all potential markets; inability to protect the confidentiality of trade secrets; governmental responses to the COVID-19 pandemic;
inability to obtain sufficient capital to meet operational financing requirements or comply with debt agreements; inability to prevent
computer system failures or security breaches; potential product liability claims; failure to hire, retain and motivate key executives
and qualified personnel; the significant increased expenses and administrative burden as a public company; the potential need for substantial
future funding to finance operations and the inability to be able to obtain such financing or acceptable terms or at all; potential future
acquisitions which could disrupt the Caritas’ business; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give
rise to the termination of negotiations and any subsequent definitive agreements with respect to the proposed Business Combination; the
outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against ARYA, the combined company or others following the announcement of the
proposed business combination; the inability to complete the proposed business combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the
shareholders of ARYA, to obtain financing to complete the proposed business combination or to satisfy other conditions to closing; changes
to the proposed structure of the proposed business combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations
or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the proposed business combination; the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards
following the consummation of the proposed business combination; the risk that the proposed business combination disrupts current plans
and operations of Caritas as a result of the announcement and consummation of the proposed business combination; the ability to recognize
the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination; costs related to the proposed business combination; the ability of the
combined company to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the amount
of redemption requests made by ARYA’s shareholders; and the possibility that Caritas or the combined company may be adversely affected
by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors. There may be additional risks that neither ARYA, Amicus nor Caritas presently
know or that ARYA, Amicus and Caritas currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained
in the forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, they could cause actual results to
differ materially from these forward-looking statements. You should not take any statement regarding past trends or activities as a representation
that the trends or activities will continue in the future. 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 ARYA, Amicus and Caritas assume no obligation and do not intend
to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Neither ARYA,
Amicus nor Caritas gives any assurance that either ARYA or Caritas will achieve its expectations.
Projections
This Current Report contains
financial forecasts with respect to Caritas’ projected financial results. ARYA’s and Caritas’ independent auditors have
not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this
Current Report, and accordingly, they did not express an opinion or provide any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose
of this Current Report. These projections should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. The assumptions
and estimates underlying the prospective financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant
business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in
the prospective financial information. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the prospective results are indicative of the future
performance of Caritas or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospective financial information.
Inclusion of the prospective financial information in this Current Report should not be regarded as a representation by any person that
the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved.
Actual results may differ
as a result of the completion of Caritas’ financial reporting period closing procedures, review adjustments and other developments
that may arise between now and the time such financial information for the period is finalized. As a result, these estimates are preliminary,
may change and constitute forward-looking information and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Neither Caritas’
nor ARYA’s independent registered accounting firm has audited, reviewed or compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect
to the preliminary results, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on the preliminary financial information.
Additional Information
In
connection with the Business Combination, ARYA intends to file with the SEC a Registration Statement, which will include a preliminary
prospectus and preliminary proxy statement. ARYA will mail a definitive proxy statement/final prospectus and other relevant documents
to its shareholders. This Current Report is not a substitute for the Registration Statement, the definitive proxy statement/final prospectus
or any other document that ARYA will send to its shareholders in connection with the Business Combination. Investors and security
holders of ARYA are advised to read, when available, the proxy statement/prospectus in connection with ARYA’s solicitation of proxies
for its extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to be held to approve the Business Combination (and related matters) because the
proxy statement/prospectus will contain important information about the Business Combination and the parties to the Business Combination. The
definitive proxy statement/final prospectus will be mailed to shareholders of ARYA as of a record date to be established for voting on
the Business Combination. Shareholders will also be able to obtain copies of the proxy statement/prospectus, without charge, once available,
at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: 51 Astor Place, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10003.
INVESTMENT IN ANY
SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SEC OR ANY OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY NOR HAS ANY AUTHORITY PASSED
UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THE OFFERING OR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE
CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
Participants in the Solicitation
ARYA
and its respective directors and executive officers under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies of
ARYA’s shareholders in connection with the Business Combination. Investors and security holders may obtain more
detailed information regarding the names and interests in the Business Combination of ARYA’s directors and officers in ARYA’s
filings with the SEC, including the Registration Statement to be filed with the SEC by ARYA, which will include the proxy statement of
ARYA for the Business Combination, and such information and names of such directors and executive officers and their interests in the
Business Combination will also be in the Registration Statement to be filed with the SEC by ARYA, which will include the proxy statement
of ARYA for the Business Combination.
No Offer and Non-Solicitation
This
Current Report is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase, nor a solicitation of an offer to sell, subscribe
for or buy any securities or the solicitation of any vote in any jurisdiction pursuant to the Business Combination or otherwise, nor shall
there be any sale, issuance or transfer or securities in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law. No offer of securities shall
be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act.

the extent not relating to, held for use with or used in connection with the Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities. This Section 6.5(h) shall
not apply with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 6.12(a).
(i) For
a period of eighteen (18) months from and after the Closing Date (such period of time, the “Confidentiality Period”),
Amber GT Parent shall, and shall cause each of its Representatives who have received Business Confidential Information, to, (i) treat
and hold as confidential all confidential or proprietary information of, or to the extent related to, the Business and either in existence
at or prior to the Closing or delivered to Amber GT Parent or any of its Representatives pursuant to this Agreement or any Additional
Agreement after the Closing (the “Business Confidential Information”) and (ii) refrain from using or disclosing
any of the Business Confidential Information except as provided or otherwise permitted under this Agreement or any Additional Agreement
to which it is a party, or in connection with any dispute or Action arising in connection with any of the foregoing; provided,
however, that none of the following shall be deemed to be Business Confidential Information: (A) information that is generally
available to or known by the public (other than through disclosure by Amber GT Parent or any of its Representatives in violation of this
Section 6.5(i)); (B) information that is acquired by Amber GT Parent or any of its Representatives after the Closing
from a source which, to the actual knowledge of such Person, is not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual,
fiduciary or similar obligation; (C) information that is independently derived, developed or acquired by Amber GT Parent or any
of its Representatives following the Closing without reference to or use of information subject to the confidentiality obligations of
this Section 6.5(i); or (D) information to the extent related to any Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities, which
shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be deemed to be Amber Confidential Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.5(i),
in the event that Amber GT Parent or any of its Representatives is required or requested to disclose any Business Confidential Information
during the Confidentiality Period by Law or to an Authority or otherwise in connection with compliance, Tax or regulatory activity, then
any of the foregoing Persons shall notify ARYA as promptly as practicable and permissible of such request or requirement so that ARYA
may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.5(i). If, in the absence
of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, such Person, on the advice of its outside legal counsel, is compelled to
disclose any Business Confidential Information, such Person may disclose only that portion of such Business Confidential Information
to which it is advised by its counsel to disclose and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the recipient thereof to keep
such information confidential.
(j) During
the Confidentiality Period, ARYA shall, and shall cause any of its Representatives who have received Amber Confidential Information to,
(i) treat and hold as confidential all confidential or proprietary information related to Amber GT Parent or any of its Affiliates
delivered to ARYA or its Representatives whether before or after the date hereof (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Business
Confidential Information) (the “Amber Confidential Information”) and (ii) refrain from using or disclosing any
of the Amber Confidential Information except as provided or otherwise permitted under this Agreement or any Additional Agreement, or
in connection with any dispute or Action arising in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, however, that none
of the following shall be deemed to be Amber Confidential Information: (A) information that is generally available to or known by
the public (other than through disclosure by ARYA or its Representatives in violation of this Section 6.5(j)); (B) information
that is acquired by ARYA or any of its Representatives after the Closing from a source which, to the actual knowledge of such Persons,
is not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual, fiduciary or similar obligation; (C) information that
is independently derived, developed or acquired by ARYA or any of its Representatives after the Closing without reference to or use of
information subject to the confidentiality obligations of this Section 6.5(j); or (D) information to the extent Related
to the Business, the Contributed Business Assets or the Assumed Business Liabilities, which shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be deemed
to be Business Confidential Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.5(j), in the event that
ARYA or any of its Representatives is required or requested to disclose any Amber Confidential Information during the Confidentiality
Period by Law or to an Authority or otherwise in connection with compliance, Tax or regulatory activity, then any of the foregoing Persons
shall notify Amber GT Parent as promptly as practicable and permissible of such request or requirement so that Amber GT Parent seek an
appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.5(j). If, in the absence of a protective
order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, such Person, on the advice of its outside legal counsel, is compelled to disclose any Amber
Confidential Information, such Person may disclose only that portion of such Amber Confidential Information to which it is advised by
its counsel to disclose and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the recipient thereof to keep such information confidential.
For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations set forth in this Section 6.5(j) are in addition to any continuing obligations
under the Confidentiality Agreement.
(k) Notwithstanding
the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that Section 6.5(d) through Section 6.5(j) conflicts
with any other covenant or agreement set forth in any Additional Agreement that contemplates the disclosure, use or provision of information
or otherwise that is the subject of subsection, then such other covenant or agreement set forth in such Additional Agreement, as applicable,
shall govern and control to the extent of such conflict.
6.6 Preparation

Amber GT Parent shall prepare and mutually agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by either

understood that the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement shall include a proxy statement / prospectus of ARYA which will be included
therein and which will be used for the ARYA Shareholders Meeting to adopt and approve the Transaction Proposals and other matters reasonably
related to the Transaction Proposals, all in accordance with and as required by ARYA’s Governing Documents, applicable Law, and

promulgated by the SEC (including, in the case of the Amber Entities, with respect to the Business, the provision of financial statements
of, and any other information with respect to, the Business for all periods, and in the form, required to be included in the Registration
Statement / Proxy Statement under securities Laws (after giving effect to any waivers received) or in response to any comments from the
SEC); (b) promptly notify, in the case of an Amber Entity, ARYA or, in the case of ARYA, Amber GT Parent, reasonably cooperate with
each other with respect to and respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff; (c) promptly prepare and, in the case of
ARYA and Amber GT Parent only, mutually agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by either
ARYA or Amber GT Parent, as applicable) any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement in order to address
comments or requests from the SEC or its staff (which amendments or supplements shall be promptly filed by the Company); (d) have
the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable after
it is filed with the SEC; and (e) keep the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement effective through the Closing in order to permit

be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 6.6 or for inclusion in any
other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of ARYA to the SEC or Nasdaq in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or the Additional Agreements. If any Party becomes aware of any information that should be disclosed in
an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement, then: (i) such Party shall promptly inform, in the case
of ARYA, Amber GT Parent, or, in the case of any Amber Entity, ARYA, thereof; (ii) ARYA and Amber GT Parent shall prepare and mutually
agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by either ARYA or Amber GT Parent, as applicable),
an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement; (iii) ARYA shall as promptly as practicable file such
mutually agreed upon amendment or supplement with the SEC; and (iv) the Parties shall reasonably cooperate, if appropriate in the
discretion of ARYA, in mailing such amendment or supplement to the shareholders of ARYA. ARYA shall as promptly as reasonably practicable
advise Amber GT Parent of the time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement, the issuance of any stop order relating
thereto or the suspension of the qualification of ARYA Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, and ARYA and the Amber Entities
shall each use its reasonable best efforts to have any such stop order or suspension lifted, reversed or otherwise terminated. Each of
the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure that none of the information related to him, her or it or any of his, her or
its Representatives, supplied by or on his, her or its behalf for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement
/ Proxy Statement will, at the time the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement is initially filed with the SEC, at each time at which
it is amended, or at the time it becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they are made, not misleading.
6.7 ARYA
Shareholder Approval. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the time at which the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement
is declared effective under the Securities Act, ARYA shall (a) cause the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement to be mailed to
the ARYA shareholders, (b) use reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies from the ARYA shareholders to vote in favor of each of
the Transaction Proposals and (c) duly give notice of, and use reasonable best efforts to duly convene and hold, a meeting of its
shareholders (the “ARYA Shareholders Meeting”), in each case, in accordance with the Governing Documents of ARYA and
applicable Law, for the purposes of obtaining the ARYA Shareholder Approval and, if applicable, any approvals related thereto and providing
its applicable shareholders with the opportunity to elect to effect an ARYA Share Redemption. Except as otherwise required by applicable
Law: (i) ARYA shall, through the ARYA Board, recommend to its shareholders (the “ARYA Board Recommendation”),
(A) the adoption and approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Business Combination Proposal”);
(B) the adoption and the approval of the Domestication (the “Domestication Proposal”); (C) the adoption
and approval of the issuance of the ARYA Shares in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as required by Nasdaq
listing rules (the “Nasdaq Proposal”); (D) the adoption and approval of the ARYA Post-Closing Certificate
of Incorporation (the “Required Governing Document Proposal”); (E) the approval, on a non-binding advisory basis,
of certain differences between the Governing Documents of ARYA as in effect as of such time and the proposed ARYA Post-Closing Certificate
of Incorporation and the proposed ARYA Post-Closing Bylaws (collectively, the “Other Governing Document Proposals”);
(F) the adoption and approval of the Post-Closing Incentive Equity Plan (the “Incentive Equity Plan Proposal”);
(G) the adoption and approval of the Post-Closing Employee Stock Purchase Plan; (H) the adoption and approval of each other
proposal that either the SEC or Nasdaq (or the respective staff members thereof) indicates is necessary in its comments to the Registration
Statement / Proxy Statement or in correspondence related thereto; (I) the adoption and approval of each other proposal reasonably
agreed to by ARYA and Amber GT Parent as necessary or appropriate in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or the Additional Agreements; and (J) the adoption and approval of a proposal for the adjournment of the ARYA
Shareholders Meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies because there are not sufficient votes to approve and adopt
any of the foregoing (such proposals in (A) through (J), collectively, the “Transaction Proposals”), and (ii) ARYA
shall include such recommendation contemplated by clause (i) in the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, ARYA may only adjourn the ARYA Shareholders Meeting (1) to solicit additional proxies
for the purpose of obtaining the ARYA Shareholder Approval, (2) for the absence of a quorum, (3) to allow reasonable additional
time for the filing or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosures that ARYA (or Amber GT Parent) has reasonably determined in
good faith, 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 shareholders of ARYA prior to the ARYA Shareholders Meeting or (4) if
the holders of ARYA Class A Shares have elected to redeem a number of ARYA Class A Shares as of such time that would reasonably
be expected to result in the condition set forth in Section 8.1(g) not being satisfied; provided that, without
the consent of Amber GT Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), in no event shall ARYA adjourn
the ARYA Shareholders Meeting for more than fifteen (15) Business Days later than the most recently adjourned meeting or to a date that
is beyond the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Termination Date. ARYA covenants that none of the ARYA Board, ARYA
or any committee of the ARYA Board shall (x) except as otherwise required by applicable Law, change, withdraw, withhold, qualify,
amend or modify, or publicly propose to change, withdraw, withhold, qualify, amend or modify, in a manner adverse to the Amber Entities,
any recommendation by the ARYA Board or ARYA of Transaction Proposals, (y) adopt, approve, recommend or declare advisable or publicly
propose to adopt, approve, recommend or declare advisable, any ARYA Acquisition Proposal or (z) except as otherwise required by
applicable Law, fail to include the ARYA Board Recommendation in the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement.
6.8 Nasdaq
Listing. ARYA shall use its reasonable best efforts to (a) cause the ARYA Class A Shares issuable in accordance with this
Agreement to be approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance thereof and (b) to satisfy any applicable
initial and continuing listing requirements of Nasdaq, in each case prior to the Closing. Each Amber Entity shall, and shall cause its
Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with ARYA and its Representatives in connection with the foregoing. From the date of this Agreement
through the Closing, (i) ARYA will use reasonable best efforts to keep current and timely file all of its required public filings
with the SEC and otherwise comply in all material respects with applicable securities Laws and (ii) if ARYA receives any written
or, to the knowledge of ARYA, oral notice from Nasdaq that ARYA has failed, or would reasonably be expected to fail, to meet the listing
requirements of the Nasdaq as of the Closing or within six (6) months thereafter for any reason, then ARYA shall, if not otherwise
prohibited by applicable Law or Order, give written notice of such Nasdaq notice to Amber GT Parent as promptly as practicable thereafter,
including, if applicable and not otherwise prohibited by applicable Law or Order, a copy of any written notice received from Nasdaq (provided
that a failure, in and of itself, to give any notice contemplated by this clause (ii) shall in no event cause the condition
to Closing set forth in Section 8.3(a) to not be satisfied). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary
herein, in no event shall ARYA be deemed to be in breach or violation of this Section 6.8 to the extent such breach or violation
of this Section 6.8 directly or indirectly resulted from a breach by any Amber Entity of any of its applicable covenants,
agreements and obligations hereunder.
6.9 Trust
Account. Upon satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VIII
and provision of notice thereof to the Trustee, (a) at the Closing, ARYA shall (i) cause the documents, certificates and
notices required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to the Investment Management Trust Agreement to be so delivered, and (ii) make
all appropriate arrangements to cause the Trustee to (A) pay as and when due all amounts, if any, payable to the ARYA shareholders
in respect of the ARYA Share Redemptions, (B) pay the amounts due to the underwriters of ARYA’s initial public offering for
their Deferred Underwriting Commissions as set forth in the Investment Management Trust Agreement and (C) immediately thereafter,
pay all remaining amounts then available in the Trust Account to ARYA, or to such other recipients as ARYA designates (as approved by
Amber GT Parent), in accordance with the Investment Management Trust Agreement, and (b) thereafter, the Trust Account shall terminate,
except as otherwise provided therein.
6.10 Directors’
and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.
(a) Each
Party agrees that (i) all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favor of the directors and officers of ARYA,
as provided in the Governing Documents of ARYA or otherwise in effect as of 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 contemplated by this Agreement and shall
continue in full force and effect from and after the Closing for a period of six (6) years and (ii) ARYA will perform and discharge,
or cause to be performed and discharged, 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, ARYA shall advance, or cause to be advanced,
expenses in connection with such indemnification as provided in the Governing Documents of ARYA or other applicable agreements as in
effect immediately prior to the Domestication. The indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of the Governing
Documents of ARYA shall not, during such six (6) year period, be amended, repealed or otherwise modified following the Closing in
any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of immediately prior to the Closing, or at any time
prior to such time, were directors or officers of ARYA (the “ARYA D&O Persons”) entitled to be so indemnified,
have their liability limited or be exculpated with respect to any matters occurring on or prior to the Closing and relating to the fact
that such ARYA D&O Person was a director or officer of ARYA on or prior to the Closing, unless such amendment, repeal or other modification
is required by applicable Law.
(b) ARYA
shall not have any obligation under this Section 6.10 to any ARYA 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 ARYA
D&O Person in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.
(c) ARYA
shall purchase, at or prior to the Closing, and ARYA shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, in effect for a period of six (6) years
following the Closing, without any lapses in coverage, a “tail” policy providing directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance for the benefit of those Persons who are covered (whether directly, via endorsement or otherwise) by any comparable insurance
policies of ARYA in effect as of the date of this Agreement with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Closing. Such insurance
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 Persons covered thereby than) the coverage provided under ARYA’s directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance policies in effect as of the date of this Agreement; provided that ARYA shall not be obligated to pay annual premiums
in excess of three hundred-fifty percent (350%) of the most recent annual premium paid by ARYA prior to the date of this Agreement and,
in such event, ARYA shall purchase the maximum coverage available for three hundred-fifty percent (350%) of the most recent annual premium
paid by ARYA prior to the date of this Agreement.
(d) If
ARYA or any of its 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 ARYA shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this
Section 6.10.
(e) The
Persons entitled to the indemnification, liability limitation, exculpation or insurance coverage set forth in this Section 6.10
are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.10. This Section 6.10 shall survive the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of ARYA.
6.11 Post-Closing
Directors and Officers.
(a) Each
of ARYA and the Amber Entities shall take all such action within their respective power as may be necessary or appropriate such that
effective immediately after the Closing: (i) the ARYA Board shall consist of seven (7) directors, which shall be divided into
three (3) classes, designated Class I, II and III, with Class I consisting of two (2) directors, Class II
consisting of two (2) directors and Class III consisting of three (3) directors; (ii) the members of the ARYA Board
are the individuals determined in accordance with Section 6.11(b); (iii) the members of the compensation committee,
audit committee and nominating committee of the ARYA Board are the individuals determined in accordance with Section 6.11(c);
and (iv) the officers of ARYA and the Company (collectively, the “Officers”) are the individuals determined in

(b) Prior
to the time at which the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act and in accordance with
Section 6.11(a), ARYA Sponsor and Amber GT Parent shall designate the directors that will be on the ARYA Board immediately
after the Closing, as follows: (i) the ARYA Sponsor shall designate one (1) individual (the “ARYA Designee”)
as a Class III director; (ii) Amber GT Parent shall designate two (2) individuals (each, an “Amber GT Parent
Designee”), one of which shall be a Class II director and the other a Class I director; and (iii) ARYA and Amber
GT Parent shall mutually agree to designate four (4) individuals (each, an “Agreed Designee”), each of which
shall be designated to such other director class positions as mutually agreed by ARYA and Amber GT Parent (such agreement not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed by either ARYA or Amber GT Parent).
(c) Prior
to the time at which the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, (i) the ARYA Sponsor
may designate the ARYA Designee to serve as a member of the compensation committee, the audit committee or the nominating committee of
the ARYA Board immediately after the Closing, subject to applicable listing rules of Nasdaq and applicable securities Laws, (ii) Amber
GT Parent may designate up to one Amber GT Parent Designee to serve as a member of the compensation committee, the audit committee or
the nominating committee of the ARYA Board immediately after the Closing, subject to applicable listing rules of Nasdaq and applicable
securities Laws, and (iii) the ARYA Sponsor and Amber GT Parent shall mutually agree (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed by either the ARYA Sponsor or Amber GT Parent) to the other members of the compensation committee, the audit committee
or the nominating committee of the ARYA Board immediately after the Closing.
(d) The
individuals identified on Section 6.11(d) of the Amber Disclosure Schedules shall be Officers immediately after the
Closing, with each such individual holding the title set forth opposite his or her name. In the event that any such individual identified
on Section 6.11(d) of the Amber Disclosure Schedules is unwilling or unable (whether due to death, disability or otherwise)
to serve as an Officer, then, prior to the time at which the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement is declared effective under the
Securities Act, Amber GT Parent and ARYA Sponsor shall mutually determine (such Agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed by either Amber GT Parent or ARYA Sponsor) another individual to serve as such Officer and, upon such mutual agreement, Section 6.11(d) of
the Amber Disclosure Schedules shall automatically be deemed amended to include such replacement individual as an Officer in lieu of,
and to serve with the same title as, the individual so replaced.
6.12 Tax
Matters.
(a) Cooperation.
Following the Closing Date, each Party shall reasonably cooperate (and cause its Affiliates to reasonably cooperate), as and to the extent
reasonably requested by each other Party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns with respect to the Business and
any examination or other Tax Action with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of or with respect to any of the Business Entities for any Pre-Closing
Tax Period or Straddle Period. Such cooperation shall include the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant
to any such audit or other Tax Action, making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and
explanation of any material provided hereunder, and executing any powers of attorney required in connection with any such audit or other
Tax Action. Following the Closing, each of Amber GT Parent and ARYA shall (and shall cause its respective Affiliates to) retain all books
and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Business Entities or the Business relating to any taxable period (or portion
of any taxable period) beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (including any extensions
thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority. Each
of Amber GT Parent and ARYA shall (and shall cause its respective Affiliates to) provide any information reasonably requested to allow
Amber GT Parent, ARYA or the Business Entities to comply with any information reporting or withholding requirements contained in the
Code or other applicable Laws or to compute the amount of payroll or other employment Taxes due with respect to any payment made in connection
with this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.12(a) shall not apply to any dispute or threatened dispute
among the Parties.
(b) Transfer
Taxes. All Transfer Taxes, other than the Pre-Closing Reorganization Transfer Taxes, shall be borne by the Company. Unless otherwise
required by applicable Law, the Company shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all necessary Tax Returns in respect
of such Transfer Taxes and other documentation with respect to all Transfer Taxes, and, if required by applicable Law, Amber GT Parent,
the Business Entities and ARYA shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate and join in the execution
of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate to establish any available exemption from (or
reduction in) any such Transfer Taxes.
(c) Intended
Tax Treatment. The Parties acknowledge and agree that for U.S. federal and, as applicable, state and local Tax purposes, it is intended
that: (i) prior to the Pre-Closing Reorganization, the Company has been an entity disregarded as separate from Amber GT, and (ii) as
a result of the contribution of the Closing Date Contribution Amount by ARYA, the Company will become a partnership pursuant to the general
principles of Rev. Rul. 99-5, 1991-1 C.B. 434, Situation 2 (clauses (i) and (ii), the “Intended Tax Treatment”).
The Parties shall, and shall cause each of their respective applicable Affiliates to, in each case except as otherwise required by a
“determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code, (A) prepare and file all Tax Returns consistent
with the Intended Tax Treatment and (B) take no position in any Tax Action that is inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment.
(d) Straddle
Periods. For purposes of this Agreement, whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes of or with respect to any
Business Entity or otherwise with respect to the Business for any Straddle Period, the determination of such Taxes for the portion of
the Straddle Period ending on and including, and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after, the Closing Date shall be determined
by assuming that the Straddle Period consisted of two (2) taxable years or periods, one which ended on (and included) the Closing
Date and the other which began on the day following the Closing Date, and all taxable items of or with respect to such Business Entity
(or otherwise with respect to the Business) for the Straddle Period shall be allocated between such two (2) taxable years or periods
on a “closing of the books basis” by assuming that the books of the applicable Person were closed at the close of the Closing
Date; provided, however, (i) exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis, such as
the deduction for depreciation, and (ii) periodic Taxes (other than income, franchise/capital, sales, use, or withholding Taxes)
such as real and personal property Taxes, shall be apportioned ratably between such periods based on the number of days for the portion
of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date, on the one hand, and the number of days for the portion of the Straddle
Period beginning after the Closing Date, on the other hand.
(e) Contests
Related to Taxes. Each Party agrees to provide written notice to the other applicable Parties within fifteen (15) days of the receipt
of any written notice by such Party of any Tax Action involving Taxes payable by or with respect to any Business Entity or otherwise
with respect to the Business for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period (a “Tax Claim”). Amber GT Parent shall
have the responsibility for, and the right to control, any Tax Claims that relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period it elects to control by
notice to the Company within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice thereof from the Taxing Authority or pursuant to this Section 6.12(e);
provided that (i) Amber GT Parent shall not settle or compromise any such Tax Claim without the prior written consent of
the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (ii) the Company may participate in (but
not control) any such defense and investigation at its sole cost and expense. The Company shall control all Tax Claims that relate to
a Pre-Closing Tax Period that Amber GT Parent does not elect to control pursuant to this Section 6.12(e) and all Tax
Claims that relate to a Straddle Period; provided that (i) the Company shall not settle or compromise any such Tax Claim
that would reasonably be expected to materially increase Amber GT Parent’s Tax liability or indemnification obligations pursuant
to this Agreement without the prior written consent of Amber GT Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed) and (ii) Amber GT Parent may participate in (but not control) any such defense and investigation at its sole cost and expense.
(f) Any
refund (or credit in lieu of a refund) received by ARYA, the Company or the Business Entities for Taxes (including any interest thereon
received from a Taxing Authority) with respect to the Business Entities or otherwise with respect to the Business for any Pre-Closing
Tax Period or the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period (such Taxes for a Straddle Period to be determined in accordance with Section 6.12(d))
shall be for the account of Amber GT Parent, and ARYA or the Company shall (or shall cause the applicable Business Entity to) promptly
(and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after receipt by ARYA, the Company or any Business Entity thereof) pay to Amber
GT Parent the amount of any such refund; provided, that ARYA, the Company and the Business Entities shall not be required to affirmatively
seek any such refund (or credit). A refund (or credit) of Taxes shall be treated for this purpose as received to the extent that any
amount otherwise refundable has instead been set off or otherwise applied to or against, or has otherwise reduced, any Tax payable by,
or liability of, (i) the Business Entities for any period other than a Pre-Closing Tax Period or the pre-Closing portion of any
Straddle Period, or (ii) ARYA or the Company. The amount of any refund (or credit) payable to Amber GT Parent pursuant to this Section 6.12(f) shall
be net of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including Taxes) incurred by ARYA, the Company or the Business Entities in
connection with realizing such refund (or credit).
(g) Tax
Covenants Survival. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the covenants and agreements set forth in this
Section 6.12 shall survive until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.
6.13 Post-Closing
Incentive Equity Plan; Post-Closing Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The ARYA Board shall approve and adopt an equity incentive plan,
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I-1 and with any changes or modifications thereto as Amber GT Parent
and ARYA may mutually agree in writing (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by either Amber GT Parent
or ARYA, as applicable) (the “Post-Closing Incentive Equity Plan”), in the manner prescribed under applicable Laws,
effective as of one (1) day prior to the Closing Date, reserving 9,000,000 ARYA Class A Shares for issuance thereunder and
providing for a ten (10)-year annual “evergreen” replenishment of the ARYA Class A Shares reserved for issuance thereunder,
in an amount, which when added to the ARYA Class A Shares reserved for issuance under the Post-Closing Incentive Equity Plan immediately

either Amber GT Parent or ARYA, as applicable) (the “Post-Closing Employee Stock Purchase Plan”), in the manner prescribed
under applicable Laws, effective as of one (1) day prior to the Closing Date, reserving the number of ARYA Class A Shares set

6.15 Limitation
on Assignment of Contributed Business Assets; Third-Party Consents.
(a) If
the contribution, grant, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery to any Business Entity of any asset that would be a Contributed
Business Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom would be prohibited under applicable Law
or would require the Consent of any Person and such Consent has not been given or obtained, as applicable, at or prior to the Closing
(collectively, the “Non-Assignable Assets”), then, subject to the last sentence of this Section 6.15(a),
(i) the Closing shall proceed in accordance with this Agreement without the contribution, grant, assignment, transfer, conveyance
or delivery, as applicable, of the Non-Assignable Assets, and (ii) to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of any Non-Assignable
Asset or applicable Law, the Parties shall treat the Company as the owner thereof for Tax purposes from and after the Closing. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (A) an asset shall not constitute a Non-Assignable Asset and the Closing shall not proceed as provided in the immediately
preceding sentence if the prohibition under applicable Law or the failure to give or obtain at or prior to the Closing was proximately
caused by any Amber Entity’s breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation under this Agreement (including any of those set forth
in Section 6.1), unless such breach is, for purposes of this Section 6.15(a) and, if applicable, Section 8.3(a),
waived by ARYA, and (B) this Section 6.15(a) shall not be construed as limiting, modifying or otherwise affecting
any of the other covenants or agreements of the Amber Entities under this Agreement to the extent such covenants or agreements require
performance at or prior to the Closing.
(b) With
respect to each Non-Assignable Asset, (i) from and after the Closing, Amber GT Parent and Amber GT shall, and shall cause their
Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to give, or cause to be given, or to obtain, or cause to be obtained, each Consent required
to contribute, grant, assign, transfer, convey or deliver, as applicable, such Non-Assignable Asset and (ii) upon obtaining or giving
any Consent of the type described in clause (i), the applicable Non-Assignable Asset shall be deemed to have been automatically
contributed, granted, assigned, transferred, conveyed or delivered, as applicable, to the Company (or, in the sole discretion of ARYA,
any Affiliate thereof) on the terms set forth in this Agreement for no additional consideration without the requirement of any further
action of ARYA or any of its Affiliates, as of the Closing, except to the extent the date of such Consent is deemed by applicable Law
to have occurred on another date or is otherwise consented to in writing by ARYA to have occurred as of another date, in which case,
as of such date. ARYA shall, and shall cause its pertinent Affiliates to, at the sole cost and expense of Amber GT Parent, reasonably
cooperate with Amber GT Parent and Amber GT in connection with the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall (A) ARYA
or any its Affiliates be required to make any payments to secure any such Consent or amend, modify or supplement any Contract to which
such Consent may relate, or (B) Amber GT Parent, Amber GT or any of their respective Affiliates amend, modify or supplement any
Contract to which such Consent may relate without ARYA’s prior written consent.
(c) From
and after the Closing until a Non-Assignable Assets is contributed, granted, assigned, transferred, conveyed or delivered, as applicable,
as provided in Section 6.15(b), each of Amber GT Parent and Amber GT shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to,
(i) provide the Company and its Affiliates the maximum allowable use of the Non-Assignable Assets, including by establishing an
agency type or similar arrangement reasonably satisfactory to ARYA under which the Company and its Affiliates would obtain the claims,
rights and benefits and assume the corresponding liabilities and obligations with respect thereto (including by means of any subcontracting,
sublicensing or subleasing arrangement) and (ii) exercise, enforce and exploit, only at the direction of ARYA and for the benefit
of the Company and Affiliates, any and all claims, rights and benefits of Amber GT Parent, Amber GT or any of their respective Affiliates
under or with respect to, or arising in connection with, such Non-Assignable Asset to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Except
to the extent expressly prohibited by applicable Law, Amber GT Parent shall hold in trust for and pay to the Company (or, in the sole
discretion of ARYA, any Affiliate thereof) promptly upon receipt thereof, all income, proceeds and other monies received by Amber GT
Parent, Amber GT or any of their Affiliates in respect of any such Non-Assignable Asset, in each case, without any interest; provided
that ARYA shall reimburse Amber GT Parent for any and all reasonable, documented and out-of-pocket costs, fees, expenses and amounts,
other than to the extent constituting Excluded Liabilities, that are incurred by Amber GT solely as a result of any arrangement contemplated
by this Section 6.15(c). Each of the Parties intend that, as of Closing, for applicable tax purposes, the Company should
be treated as the beneficial owner of each Non-Assignable Asset (and shall have the benefits and burdens of such beneficial ownership).
and the Parties shall file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with such intention.
(d) Prior
to the Closing, (i) ARYA and Amber GT Parent shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to, effective as of the Closing, have
Amber GT Parent and any of its Affiliates (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Business Entities) removed as guarantor of or
obligor of Liabilities arising after the Closing with respect to the matter set forth on Section 6.15(d) of the Amber
Disclosure Schedules (the “Existing Amber Guaranty”) and (ii) to the extent required to obtain a release of Amber
GT Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Business Entities) as a guarantor of or obligor of Liabilities
arising after the Closing under the Existing Amber Guaranty, ARYA shall execute a guarantee agreement, in a form and substance reasonable
acceptable to ARYA and effective as of the Closing, with respect to ARYA being a guarantor of Liabilities in respect of the Existing
Amber Guaranty to the extent arising after the Closing. If the actions contemplated by the preceding sentence are not completed at or
prior to the Closing, then (x) ARYA and Amber GT Parent shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to, as promptly as practicable
after the Closing, have Amber GT Parent and any of its Affiliates (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Business Entities) removed
as guarantor of or obligor of Liabilities arising after the Closing with respect to the Existing Amber Guaranty and (ii) to the
extent required to obtain a release of Amber GT Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Business
Entities) as a guarantor or obligor of Liabilities arising after the Closing under the Existing Amber Guaranty, ARYA shall execute a
guarantee agreement, in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to ARYA, with respect to ARYA being a guarantor of Liabilities in
respect of the Existing Amber Guaranty to the extent arising after the Closing, and (y) ARYA shall, from and after the Closing,
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Amber GT Parent or its Affiliates, as applicable, against or from any Liability arising out of or
resulting from the Existing Amber Guaranty following the Closing to the extent provided in, and in accordance with, Section 10.3
and the other applicable provisions in Article X. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, (A) in no event shall (i) ARYA or any its Affiliates be required to make any payments or other concessions,
or otherwise amend, modify or supplement any Contract related to the Existing Amber Guaranty, in order to remove Amber GT Parent or any
of its Affiliates as a guarantor or obligor with respect to the Existing Guaranty as contemplated by this Section 6.15(d) or,
as applicable, otherwise in connection with ARYA becoming a guarantor in respect of the Existing Amber Guaranty as contemplated by this
Section 6.15(d), except, for the avoidance of doubt, for any amendments, modifications or supplements to any such Contract
solely to the extent that it removes Amber GT Parent or its Affiliates as a guarantor or obligor of, or substitutes ARYA in respect of,
the applicable Liabilities with respect to the Existing Amber Guaranty as expressly contemplated by this Section 6.15(d),
and (ii) Amber GT Parent or any of its Affiliates take any of the actions contemplated by clause (i), except for any payments that
are paid in full by Amber GT Parent or its Affiliates, and (B) for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall ARYA or any of its
Affiliates have any obligations or Liabilities with respect to any Excluded Liabilities.
6.16 Misallocated
Assets. Subject to Section 6.15 and Section 6.17, following the Closing, in the event that any Party becomes
aware that (a) record or beneficial ownership or possession of any asset that is a Contributed Business Asset has not been contributed,
granted, assigned, transferred, conveyed or, as applicable, delivered by the applicable Amber Entity or its Affiliates to a Business
Entity or any of its Affiliates at or prior to the Closing, or that any Assumed Business Liability has not been assumed by a Business
Entity or any of its Affiliates at or prior to the Closing, or (b) record or beneficial ownership or possession of an asset that
is not a Contributed Business Asset has been contributed, granted, assigned, transferred, conveyed or delivered, as applicable, by Amber
GT Parent or any of its Affiliates to the Company or one of its Affiliates at or prior to the Closing, or that any Excluded Liability
has been erroneously assumed by the Company or any of its Affiliates at or prior to the Closing, then it shall promptly notify, in the
case of Amber GT Parent or Amber GT, ARYA or, in the case of ARYA or the Company, Amber GT Parent, and the Parties shall thereafter reasonably
cooperate to, as promptly as practicable, (i) contribute, grant, assign, transfer convey or deliver (or cause to be contributed,
granted, assigned, transferred, conveyed or delivered), as applicable, without consideration the relevant asset to the Company or an
Affiliate thereof designated by ARYA in writing or Amber GT Parent or an Affiliate thereof designated by Amber GT Parent in writing,
as applicable, or (ii) cause the relevant Liability to be assumed by the Company or an Affiliate thereof designated by ARYA in writing
or Amber GT Parent or an Affiliate thereof designated by Amber GT Parent in writing, as applicable, in each case pursuant to this Agreement.
6.17 Shared
Contracts. Except as otherwise agreed by Amber GT Parent and ARYA in writing or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement
or any of the Additional Agreements, until the expiration date of any Specified Shared Contract, the Parties shall (and shall cause their
respective Affiliates to) use reasonable best efforts to obtain or structure an arrangement for the Company and its Affiliates to, from
and after the Closing, obtain the claims, rights and benefits, and assume the corresponding Liabilities and obligations thereunder (other
than to the extent related to or arising out of any breach or other violation of such Specified Shared Contract at or prior to the Closing),
of such portion of any such Specified Shared Contract that is related to or arising out of the Business with terms and conditions materially
similar to those terms and conditions applicable as of the date hereof or, if entered into after the date hereof, as of immediately prior
to the Closing, as reasonably determined by Amber GT Parent and ARYA in good faith. With respect to Shared Contractual Liabilities pursuant
to, under or relating to any Specified Shared Contract, such Shared Contractual Liabilities shall be allocated between Amber GT Parent
and the Company as follows: (a) if a liability is incurred solely in respect of either the Business or the other businesses of Amber
GT Parent or any of its Affiliates, such liability shall be allocated to the Company or an Affiliate thereof designated in writing by
ARYA (in respect of the Business) or Amber GT Parent (in respect of the other businesses of Amber GT Parent or any of its Affiliates);
and (b) if a liability cannot be so allocated under clause (a), such liability shall be allocated to Amber GT Parent or the
Company or an Affiliate thereof designated in writing by ARYA, as the case may be, based on the relative proportion of total benefit
received by the Company or any of its Affiliates in respect of the Business and Amber GT Parent or any of its Affiliates in respect of
its other businesses under the relevant Specified Shared Contract, as reasonably determined in good faith by Amber GT Parent and ARYA.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) Amber GT Parent or ARYA, as applicable, shall be
responsible for any or all Liabilities arising from its (or its Affiliates’) direct or indirect breach of any Specified Shared
Contract and (ii) from and after the Closing, except as required by applicable Law or with the prior written consent of ARYA (not
to be unreasonably withheld, condition or delayed), Amber GT Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, (A) amend
or modify in a manner that is adverse to ARYA, any of its Affiliates or the Business in any material respect or terminate any Specified
Shared Contract (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any expiration or automatic extension or renewal of any such Specified Shared
Contract pursuant to its terms), or (B) waive any material benefit or right under any Specified Shared Contract to the extent related
to the Business.
6.18 Restrictive
Covenants.
(a) Amber
GT Parent covenants and agrees that, during the period beginning as of the Closing Date and ending on the twelve (12) month anniversary
thereof (the “Restrictive Covenant Period”), other than with respect to the arrangements set forth in the Co-Development
and Commercialization Agreement, it shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, (i) acquire, finance,
own any interest in, manage, control, participate in, consult with, render services for, operate or in any manner engage in the Business
(collectively, the “Restricted Business”) anywhere in the world, (ii) conduct or engage in a Competing Business
or (iii) take any action that is designed or intended to have the effect of discouraging any licensor, client, supplier, vendor,
customer or other business relation of the Business from maintaining the same business relationships with the Company or any of its Affiliates
after the Closing as it maintained with such Person prior to the Closing or at any time during the Restrictive Covenant Period. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (A) direct or indirect ownership of less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding Equity Securities of a publicly
traded corporation shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to be engaging in the Restricted Business or otherwise constitute a violation
of this Section 6.18(a) and (B) this Section 6.18(a) shall not prohibit or otherwise restrict
Amber GT Parent from entering into or consummating an Amber GT Parent Change of Control Transaction; provided that, from and after
the consummation of any such Amber GT Parent Change of Control Transaction and continuing until the end of the Restrictive Covenant Period,
the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.18(a) shall continue to apply to Amber GT Parent and its controlled Affiliates
(but not, for the avoidance of doubt, the acquiring Person(s) or any of its or their Affiliates as of immediately prior to the consummation
of such Amber GT Parent Change of Control Transaction).
(b) ARYA
covenants and agrees that, during the Restrictive Covenant Period, other than with respect to the arrangements set forth in the Co-Development
and Commercialization Agreement, it shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, (i) acquire, finance,
own any interest in, manage, control, participate in, consult with, render services for, operate or in any manner engage in the Retained
Business anywhere in the world, (ii) conduct or engage in a Competing Business or (iii) take any action that is designed or
intended to have the effect of discouraging any licensor, client, supplier, vendor, customer or other business relation of the Retained
Business from maintaining the same business relationships with Amber GT or any of its Affiliates after the Closing as it maintained with
such Person prior to the Closing or at any time during the Restrictive Covenant Period (it being understood and agreed, for the avoidance
of doubt, that this clause (iii) shall in no event limit or affect the ability of ARYA or any of its Affiliates from operating or
conducting the Business or otherwise having relationships, arrangements or agreements with any such licensor, client, supplier, vendor,
customer or other business relation related to the conduct or operation of the Business following the Closing). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(A) direct or indirect ownership of less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding Equity Securities of a publicly traded corporation
shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to be engaging in the Retained Business or otherwise constitute a violation of this Section 6.18(b) and
(B) this Section 6.18(b) shall not prohibit or otherwise restrict ARYA from entering into or consummating an ARYA
Change of Control Transaction; provided that, from and after the consummation of an ARYA Change of Control Transaction and continuing
until the end of the Restrictive Covenant Period, the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.18(b) shall continue
to apply to ARYA and its controlled Affiliates (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, the acquiring Person(s) or any of its or their
Affiliates as of immediately prior to the consummation of such ARYA Change of Control Transaction).
(c) Neither
Section 6.18(a) or Section 6.18(b) shall be deemed breached as a result of the ownership by either
Amber GT Parent or any of its Affiliates, or ARYA or any of its Affiliates, as applicable, of any interest if such interest arises as
a result of the acquisition following the Closing Date of a Person that engages, directly or indirectly, in a Competing Business; provided
that (i) such acquisition is not undertaken for the purpose of evading the obligations under Section 6.18(a) or
Section 6.18(b), as applicable, and (ii) the applicable Party complies with Section 6.18(d).
(d) In
the event that Amber GT Parent, ARYA or any of their Affiliates acquires during the Restricted Covenant Period any interest in a Person
that engages, directly or indirectly, in a Competing Business, then Amber GT Parent or ARYA, as applicable, shall, or shall cause any
such acquiring Affiliate to, divest the Competing Business so acquired as promptly as practicable (but in any event within twelve (12)
months of such acquisition).
(e) Amber
GT Parent covenants and agrees that, during the Restrictive Covenant Period, Amber GT Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates
not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, recruit, induce or encourage or attempt to solicit, recruit, induce or encourage any
Transferred Employee to leave the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates, (ii) hire, employ or otherwise engage any Transferred
Employee or (iii) in any other way adversely interfere with the relationship between any Business Entity or any of its Affiliates,
on the one hand, and any Transferred Employee, on the other; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (A) any
Person from making general employment solicitations, such as through advertisements in publicly available media, so long as such general
employment solicitations are not specifically targeted at any employee or other service provider of any Business Entity or its Affiliates
and no Transferred Employee is hired or engaged as a result thereof or (B) Amber GT Parent or any of its Affiliates from hiring
any Transferred Employee within six (6) months following the date of such individual’s termination of employment with the
Company or any of its Affiliates following the Closing Date, so long as such individual was not solicited, recruited, induced or encouraged
in violation of this Section 6.18(e).
(f) ARYA
covenants and agrees that, during the Restrictive Covenant Period, ARYA shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or
indirectly, (i) solicit, recruit, induce or encourage or attempt to solicit, recruit, induce or encourage any Retained Employee
to leave the employ of Amber GT Parent or any of its Affiliates, (ii) hire, employ or otherwise engage any Retained Employee or
(iii) in any other way adversely interfere with the relationship between Amber GT Parent or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand,
and any Retained Employee, on the other; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (A) any Person from
making general employment solicitations, such as through advertisements in publicly available media, so long as such general employment
solicitations are not specifically targeted at any employee or other service provider of any Business Entity or its Affiliates and no
Retained Employee is hired or engaged as a result thereof or (B) ARYA or any of its Affiliates from hiring any Retained Employee
within six (6) months following the date of such individual’s termination of employment with Amber GT Parent or any of its
Affiliates following the Closing Date, so long as such individual was not solicited, recruited, induced or encouraged in violation of
this Section 6.18(f).
(g) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 6.18, at any time after the date of this Agreement (i) to the extent that any
Transferred Employee submits a bona fide request for a transfer from the Company to Amber GT Parent or any of its Affiliates and such
request is not the result of a violation of Section 6.18(e), Amber GT Parent shall be permitted to engage with any such Transferred
Employee with respect to an offer of employment with the prior written consent of ARYA (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed) and (ii) to the extent that any Retained Employee submits a bona fide request for a transfer from Amber GT Parent to
the Company or any of its Affiliates and such request is not the result of a violation of Section 6.18(f), ARYA shall be
permitted to engage with any such Retained Employee with respect to an offer of employment with the prior written consent of Amber GT
Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and in each case, Amber GT Parent and ARYA shall cooperate in good
faith to facilitate any such requests.
(h) If
the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision set forth in this Section 6.18
is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the
power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid
or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention
of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Section 6.18 shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration
of the time within which the judgment may be appealed. The Parties intend that the agreements, covenants and obligations set forth in
this Section 6.18 shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants, one for each county or province of each and every
state, commonwealth, territory or jurisdiction of each county or province anywhere in the world and one for each month of the Restrictive
Covenant Period or other applicable period of time (if any), as applicable.
(i) In
the event of a breach or violation of any of the covenants, agreements or obligations in this Section 6.18, the Restrictive
Covenant Period shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been duly cured, to the extent such breach or violation is curable.
6.19 Related
Party Transactions. Except for the Contracts and other arrangements set forth on Section 6.19 of the Amber Disclosure
Schedules or as otherwise expressly provided for under any Additional Agreement, at or prior to the Closing, all Contracts, payables,
receivables, Liabilities, obligations and arrangements between any Business Entity, on the one hand, and Amber GT Parent or any of its
Affiliates (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any Business Entity), on the other hand, and any other Amber Related Party Transactions
shall be terminated, settled, eliminated or cancelled, as applicable, in each case in a manner reasonably satisfactory to ARYA.
6.20 Insurance
Coverage.
(a) Except
as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the immediately subsequent sentence) or any
Additional Agreement, from and after the Closing, the Company and its Affiliates shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining replacement
insurance coverage for the Business, the Contributed Business Assets and the Business Entities. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) with respect to any facts, events, circumstances or occurrences, known or unknown, related
to or arising out of the Business, the Contributed Business Assets or the Transferred Employees that occurred (in whole or in part) prior
to the Closing that are covered by or insured under any occurrence based policies (including self-insurance) or any workers’ compensation
insurance policies or comparable workers’ compensation self-insurance, state or country programs of Amber GT Parent or any of its
Affiliates, the Company and its Affiliates may make claims, to the extent such claims relate to or arise out of facts, events, circumstances
or occurrences occurring prior to the Closing, under any such policies and programs, and (ii) Amber GT Parent shall maintain, or
cause to be maintained, in effect for a period of six (6) years following the Closing, without any lapses in coverage, directors’,
officers’, employees’ or similar liability insurance for the benefit of those Transferred Employees who are covered (whether
directly, via endorsement or otherwise) by any such policies Amber GT Parent or any of its Affiliates in effect as of the date of this
Agreement with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Closing (provided that Amber GT Parent or its Affiliates may substitute
any such existing polices with new policies that 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 Transferred Employees covered thereby than) the coverage provided under such
insurance policies in effect as of the date of this Agreement and any such substitution will not result in any lapses in coverage), and
the Company, its Affiliates and any such Transferred Employees may make claims, relate to or arise out of facts, events, circumstances
or occurrences occurring at or prior to the Closing, under any such policies described in this clause (ii). Amber GT Parent shall, and
shall cause its Affiliates to, (A) take such actions as may be reasonably requested by ARYA or the Company or, in the case of clause
(ii), any applicable Transferred Employee in connection with the tendering of such claims to the applicable insurers under such policy
or program, the pursuit of such claims or the collection of any Losses, to the extent available under such policy or program and (B) provide
the Company or an Affiliate thereof or, in the case of clause (ii), any applicable Transferred Employee designated in writing by ARYA
with the proceeds it realizes with respect to such claims.
(b) If
Amber GT Parent or any of its 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 Amber GT Parent shall assume all of the obligations
set forth in this Section 6.20. The Transferred Employees that are entitled to insurance coverage set forth in Section 6.20(a)(ii) are
intended to be third-party beneficiaries of such subsection and the related provisions of this Section 6.20.
6.21 Lien
Releases. Prior to the Closing Date, Amber GT Parent shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to ARYA evidence of (i) the termination
and release, effective as of the Closing, of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) relating to the Contributed Business Assets and the
Business Entities and (ii) the filing of all documents (including UCC-3 or equivalent termination statements) necessary to effectuate,
evidence or reflect in the public record the termination and release, effective as of the Closing, of all such Liens, in each case, in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to ARYA.
6.22 Litigation
Support.
(a) From
and after the Closing, if and for so long as ARYA or any of its Affiliates is prosecuting, contesting or defending any Action by or against
a third party in connection with any fact, situation, circumstance or transaction relating to, in connection with or arising from any

Article VII
EMPLOYEE MATTER COVENANTS
7.1 Employee
Matters Covenant.
(a) Amber
GT Parent shall provide an updated Business Employees List upon reasonable request by ARYA (and, in any event, no later than five (5) days
prior to the Closing Date); provided that (i) any such update shall not (A) cause the aggregate number of individuals
on such list to exceed 120 without the prior written consent of ARYA, (B) without limiting, and subject to, the covenants and agreements
set forth in Section 6.1(b)(vii), Section 6.1(b)(xix) and Section 6.11, other than in the case
of a resignation of an executive officer or termination of employment for cause of an executive officer, add any individual who will serve
as an executive officer of the Company without the consent of ARYA (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or (C) remove
any Business Employees unless such removal is the result of a termination of employment for cause or, solely in the case of any employee
with total annualized compensation of less than $300,000 and that is not otherwise an Officer, performance related issues as determined
reasonably and in good faith by Amber GT Parent and (ii) in no event will this Section 7.1(a) limit, modify or otherwise
affect any of the other covenants, agreements or obligations of the Amber Entities hereunder (including those set forth in Section 6.1).
(b) As
part of the Pre-Closing Reorganization, and subject to Section 7.1(e), the Amber Entities shall, and shall cause their respective
Affiliates, as applicable, to transfer the employment of each Business Employee who is not employed by a Business Entity (other than an
Inactive Business Employee) to the Company or another Business Entity designated in writing by ARYA prior to the Closing Date. Each Business
Employee who is actively employed by a Business Entity immediately prior to the Closing and who continues to be so employed as of immediately
following the Closing shall be referred to herein as a “Transferred Employee.” Prior to the Closing, the Company and
Amber GT Parent shall cause the Company to adopt employee welfare benefit plans that are substantially identical to those employee welfare
benefit plans covering the Business Employees prior to the Closing, which plans shall provide coverage to the Transferred Employees in
accordance with the requirements of this Section 7.1(b) from and after the Closing Date (as such plans may be amended
or terminated from time to time by the Company following the Closing). For the one (1)-year period immediately following the Closing (or
the date of the termination of the relevant Transferred Employee, if sooner), the Company or an Affiliate shall cause each Transferred
Employee to be provided with (i) salary or wages and (ii) annual cash bonus opportunities and employee benefits (excluding equity-based
compensation, special or one-time bonuses (including retention, change in control or similar bonuses), pension and retiree welfare benefits,
and any deferral opportunity under any nonqualified deferred compensation plan), in each case, that are no less favorable in the aggregate
to those provided to such Transferred Employees immediately prior to the Closing. The Company shall cause each Transferred Employee to
receive credit for such Transferred Employee’s service with Amber GT Parent or an Affiliate prior to the Closing for purposes of
eligibility, vesting and determination of the level of benefits under any plan providing 401(k) benefits, severance, vacation or
paid time off in which such Transferred Employee participates following the Closing to the same extent such service was recognized by
Amber GT Parent or an Affiliate immediately prior to the Closing for the same purpose under the analogous Employee Benefit Plan; provided,
however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits
or compensation with respect to the same period of service.
(c) Each
Business Employee who is not actively at work as of the Closing Date due to short or long term disability leave, workers’ compensation,
family or medical leave, military leave or another approved leave of absence, which such other approved leave of absence was either commenced
prior to the date hereof or is approved by ARYA (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (excluding regularly
scheduled vacation or paid time off) (each, an “Inactive Business Employee”) shall become and remain an employee of
Amber GT Parent or one of its Affiliates until and unless the Inactive Business Employee becomes available for and able to return to active
work within the one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing Date (or such longer period as required by applicable Law), at which
time a Business Entity shall offer employment to such Inactive Business Employee (meeting the standards set forth in Section 7.1(a))
effective upon the date such Inactive Business Employee is available for and able to return to active work, and any such Inactive Business
Employee who then returns to work and accepts and actually commences employment with the Company or its Affiliate shall be considered
a Transferred Employee for purposes of this Agreement; provided that, if any such Inactive Business Employee becomes a Transferred
Employee, then the Company shall reimburse Amber GT Parent and its Affiliates for all documented and out-of-pocket costs and amounts paid
by Amber GT Parent and its Affiliates in respect of the provision of benefits and compensation in respect of any Inactive Business Employee
with respect to the period from the Closing Date until the date that such Inactive Business Employee returns to work.
(d) Prior
to the Closing, the Company and Amber GT Parent shall adopt or cause to be adopted a tax qualified defined contribution 401(k) plan
sponsored by the Company (the “Company 401(k) Plan”) and any trust agreements or other plan documents reasonably
necessary for the operation of such plan and shall cause trustees to be appointed for such plan. In accordance with applicable Law, the
Company and Amber GT Parent shall cause, in the manner described herein, the accounts under the tax qualified 401(k) plan of Amber
GT Parent (the “Parent 401(k) Plan”) of each Business Employee who is not an Inactive Business Employee to be
transferred to the Company 401(k) Plan prior to or as soon as practicable after the Closing Date. On such date of transfer, (i) Amber
GT Parent shall cause the accounts (including any outstanding loan balances) of each such Business Employee and in the Parent 401(k) Plan
to be transferred to the Company 401(k) Plan and its related trust, (ii) the Company 401(k) Plan shall assume and be solely
responsible for all Liabilities under the Parent 401(k) Plan relating to the accounts that are so transferred as of the time of such
transfer, and (iii) the Company shall cause such transferred accounts to be accepted by the Company 401(k) Plan and its related
trust and shall cause the Company 401(k) Plan to satisfy all protected benefit requirements under the Code and applicable Law with
respect to the transferred accounts. Prior to the Closing, Amber GT Parent shall have made to the Company 401(k) Plan all employer
contributions that would otherwise be made but for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, pro-rated for the portion of the plan
year ending as of the Closing and shall have paid all associated costs incurred in connection with such contributions. In determining
whether a Business Employee is vested in his or her account under the Company 401(k) Plan, the Company 401(k) Plan shall credit
each applicable Business Employee with all the individual’s service credited under the Parent 401(k) Plan. Participants in
the Parent 401(k) will not be treated as having experienced a termination of service for purposes of such plans as a result of the
transactions contemplated by this agreement.
(e) Except
for the Employee Benefit Plans listed on Section 7.1(e) of the Amber Disclosure Schedules, Amber GT Parent and its Affiliates
(other than the Business Entities) shall assume and retain sponsorship of, and be solely responsible for all Liabilities relating to or
at any time arising under or in connection with or pursuant to any Employee Benefit Plans or any other benefit or compensation plan, program,
policy, agreement, contract or arrangement of any kind at any time maintained, sponsored, or contributed to or required to be contributed
to by Amber GT Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Business Entities) or under or with respect to which Amber GT Parent or
any of its Affiliates (including the Business Entities) has any Liability. From and after the Closing Date, the Company shall credit each
Transferred Employee with the accrued and unused vacation time which the Business Employee had earned prior to the Closing with Amber
GT Parent or an Affiliate for one (1) year following the Closing, and permit such vacation time to be used in a manner consistent
with the current Amber GT Parent policy.
(f) Amber
GT Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Business Entities) shall be solely responsible for any obligation arising under Section 4980B
of the Code with respect to all “M&A qualified beneficiaries” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9)
with respect to qualifying events occurring on or prior to the Closing.
(g) Amber
GT Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any foreign national who has
work authorization pursuant to a non-immigrant visa status in order to work for the Amber Entities in his or her current position may
continue to work in such position as a Transferred Employee on the Closing Date.
(h) During
the period prior to the Closing Date, Amber GT Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to
make Business Contractors available to ARYA for the purpose of allowing ARYA to interview each such Business Contractor and determine
the nature and extent of each such person’s continuation with ARYA, if any. Amber GT Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates
to, provide to ARYA contact information for third-party service providers providing contingent personnel to the Business and reasonably
cooperate in identifying and transferring such contingent work force to the extent requested by ARYA.
(i) No
provision of this Agreement shall (i) create any right in any individual to continued employment by any Party or preclude the ability
of any Party to terminate the employment of any employee for any reason, (ii) confer upon any employee any rights or remedies under
or by reason of this Agreement or (iii) be treated as an amendment to any particular employee benefit plan of any Party.
7.2 No
Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Article VII is solely for the benefit of the Parties and is not intended to confer upon
any other Persons (including any Business Employee or any other employee, former employee, participant in any Employee Benefit Plan or
any spouse, dependent or other beneficiary thereof) any rights or remedies whatsoever, including any third-party beneficiary rights by
reason of this Article VII. Nothing in this Article VII, express or implied, shall: (a) limit the ability
of Amber GT Parent, the Company, ARYA or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates from terminating the employment of any employee
(including any Business Employee or Business Contractor) prior to or after the Closing; (b) be construed to establish, amend or
modify any Employee Benefit Plan or other benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, policy, contract or arrangement; or (c) limit

any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, policy, contract or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or
maintained by any of them.

Closing) such that the condition to Closing set forth in either Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b) would
not (assuming the Closing occurred as of such date) be satisfied and the breach or breaches causing such representations or warranties
not to be true and correct, or the failure or failures to perform such covenants or agreements, as applicable, is (or are) not cured
or cannot be cured within the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is delivered to ARYA by Amber GT Parent
and (ii) the Termination Date; provided, however, none of the Amber Entities is then in breach of this Agreement so
as to prevent the condition to Closing set forth in Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b) from being satisfied
(assuming the Closing occurred as of such date);
(d) by
either ARYA or Amber GT Parent, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to March 29, 2022 (the “Termination
Date”); provided that (i) the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(d) shall
not be available to ARYA if ARYA’s breach of any of its covenants or agreements under this Agreement shall have proximately caused
the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Termination Date, and (ii) the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to
this Section 9.1(d) shall not be available to Amber GT Parent if any Amber Entity’s breach of any of its covenants
or agreements under this Agreement shall have, either individually or in the aggregate, proximately caused the failure of the Closing
to occur on or before the Termination Date;
(e) by
either ARYA or Amber GT Parent, if any Authority shall have issued an Order or taken any other action permanently enjoining, restraining
or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such Order or other action shall have become final and nonappealable;
or
(f) by
either ARYA or Amber GT Parent if the ARYA Shareholders Meeting has been held (including any adjournment thereof), has concluded, ARYA’s
shareholders have duly voted and the Required ARYA Shareholder Approval was not obtained.
9.2 Effect
of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 this entire Agreement shall
become void (and there shall be no Liability or obligation on the part of the Parties and their respective Representatives) with the
exception of (a) Section 6.5(a), this Section 9.2, Article XI and Article I (to
the extent related to the foregoing), each of which shall survive such termination and remain valid and binding obligations of the Parties
in accordance with their terms and (b) the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall survive such termination and remain valid and
binding obligations of the parties thereto in accordance with its respective terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the
contrary herein, but subject to Section 11.15 the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 shall
not affect any Liability on the part of any Party for a willful and material breach of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement
prior to such termination or Fraud.
Article X
INDEMNIFICATION
10.1 Survival.
All representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement set forth in this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force
and effect upon the Closing, except for the representations and warranties of the Amber Entities set forth in Section 4.8(a),
Section 4.13(b) and Section 4.15(b) (the “Specified Representations”). All covenants
and agreements set forth in this Agreement that (a) by their terms apply or contemplate performance on or prior to the Closing shall
survive the Closing through and until and including the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date and (b) by their terms apply
or contemplate performance, in whole or in part, following the Closing shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect
in accordance with their respective terms as provided in this Agreement, or, if no term as to survival, indefinitely or the longer period
of time permitted by applicable Law. The Specified Representations shall survive Closing from and after the Closing until the date that
is ninety (90) days following the completion of the final consolidated audited financial statements of ARYA for the fiscal year ended
2022. The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless pursuant to (i) Section 10.2(b) (solely with respect to Pre-Closing
Taxes) and (ii) Section 10.3(a)(ii) (solely with respect to Post-Closing Taxes) shall survive for sixty (60) days
after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless pursuant to Section 10.2
or Section 10.3(a), as applicable, shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby for the applicable
period set forth in this Section 10.1, and no claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2 or Section 10.3(a),
as applicable, may be made after the expiration of the applicable survival period with respect to the representation, warranty, covenant
or agreement underlying such indemnification obligation (which, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of a claim pursuant to Sections 10.2(b) (other
than with respect to Pre-Closing Taxes) or Section 10.3(a)(ii) (other than with respect to Post-Closing Taxes), as applicable,
shall be indefinitely); provided, however, that if a Notice of Claim is delivered by ARYA (on behalf of itself or another
ARYA Indemnified Party) or Amber GT Parent (on behalf of itself or another Amber Indemnified Party), as applicable, prior to the end
of the applicable survival period with respect to such indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 10.2 or Section 10.3(a),
as applicable, then the claim(s) specified therein shall survive until final resolution thereof in accordance with the terms hereof.
10.2 Indemnification
by Amber GT Parent and Amber GT. From and after the Closing, and subject to the applicable limitations set forth in this Article X
and elsewhere in this Agreement, Amber GT Parent and Amber GT shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless ARYA,
its Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Business Entities) and their respective directors, officers, agents, employees,
successors and assigns (collectively, the “ARYA Indemnified Parties”) against, and reimburse each ARYA Indemnified
Party for, all Losses (in each case, whether arising from a Third-Party Claim or otherwise) that such ARYA Indemnified Party may suffer
or incur, or become subject to, arising out of or resulting from:
(a) any
breach or failure by Amber GT Parent or Amber GT to perform or comply with any of their respective covenants or agreements set forth
in this Agreement;
(b) each
Excluded Liability; and
(c) the
breach of any Specified Representation; provided that any qualifications as to materiality, “Amber Material Adverse Effect”
or other similar materiality qualifications included in any such representation or warranty shall be disregarded for purposes of the
determination of whether or not such breach has occurred and for purposes of calculating the amount of any Losses subject to indemnification
hereunder.
10.3 Indemnification
by ARYA.
(a) From
and after the Closing, and subject to the applicable limitations set forth in this Article X and elsewhere in this Agreement,
ARYA and the Business Entities (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the ARYA Sponsor) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Amber
GT Parent, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents, employees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Amber
Indemnified Parties”) against, and reimburse any Amber Indemnified Party for, all Losses (in each case, whether arising from
a Third-Party Claim or otherwise) that such Amber Indemnified Party may suffer or incur, or become subject to, arising out of or resulting
from:
(i) any
breach or failure by ARYA to perform or comply with any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement to the extent such
covenants or agreements apply or require performance following the Closing; and
(ii) each
Assumed Business Liability.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, ARYA shall not be required to indemnify the Amber Indemnified Parties, and the Amber Indemnified
Parties shall not be entitled to recover, in respect of any Losses for which indemnity is claimed under this Section 10.3
to the extent that such Losses (when taken together with any other Losses recovered or recoverable under this Section 10.3)
would, in the aggregate, exceed the Pre-Transaction Equity Value.
10.4 Indemnification
Procedures.
(a) If
an ARYA Indemnified Party or an Amber Indemnified Party, as applicable, believes (in good faith) that he, she or it is entitled to indemnification
pursuant to Section 10.2 or Section 10.3(a), as applicable (an “Indemnified Party”), then
ARYA (on behalf of itself or any other ARYA Indemnified Party) or Amber GT Parent (on behalf of itself or any other Amber Indemnified
Party) shall provide a Notice of Claim to the Party obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article X
(such notified Party, the “Indemnifying Party”) as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event no more than
forty-five (45) days after the Indemnified Party becomes actually aware of the circumstances indicating that the Indemnified Party has
incurred or could reasonably be expected to incur Losses in respect of which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided,
however, that the failure to give such Notice of Claim within such forty-five (45) day period shall not relieve the Indemnifying
Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. Any such claim for
indemnification shall be conclusive against the Indemnifying Party in all respects thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnifying
Party of such Notice of Claim, unless within such period the Indemnifying Party sends the Indemnified Party a notice disputing such claim
(a “Notice of Dispute”). Upon receipt of any Notice of Dispute, ARYA and Amber GT Parent shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to cooperate and arrive at a mutually acceptable resolution of such dispute within thirty (30) days of receipt, or ARYA (on behalf
of itself or the other ARYA Indemnified Parties if ARYA or any other ARYA Indemnified Parties are the Indemnified Parties) or Amber GT
Parent (on behalf of itself or the other Amber Indemnified Parties if Amber GT Parent or any other Amber Indemnified Parties are the
Indemnified Parties) receiving the Notice of Dispute from the Indemnifying Party. If a mutually acceptable resolution cannot be reached
between ARYA and Amber GT Parent within such thirty (30) day period, then ARYA (on behalf of itself or the other ARYA Indemnified Parties
if ARYA or any other ARYA Indemnified Parties are the Indemnified Parties) or Amber GT Parent (on behalf of itself or the other Amber
Indemnified Parties if Amber GT Parent or any other Amber Indemnified Parties are the Indemnified Parties) and the Indemnifying Party
may thereupon proceed to pursue any and all available remedies at Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article X,
ARYA shall act on behalf of all ARYA Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article X and Amber GT Parent shall act on behalf
of all Amber Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article X (including, in each case and for the avoidance of doubt, in connection
with the making or resolution of any claim for indemnification or any Third-Party Claim or any rights or obligations set forth in Section 10.4
with respect thereto).
(b) Subject
to the provisions of Section 10.4(a), if an Action by a Person who is not a Party or an Affiliate thereof (a “Third-Party
Claim”) is commenced against any Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto
under this Article X, then ARYA (on behalf of itself or the other ARYA Indemnified Parties if ARYA or any other ARYA Indemnified
Parties are the Indemnified Parties) or Amber GT Parent (on behalf of itself or the other Amber Indemnified Parties if Amber GT Parent
or any other Amber Indemnified Parties are the Indemnified Parties) shall promptly deliver a Notice of Claim to the Indemnifying Party;
provided, however, that the failure to promptly give such Notice of Claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall
have thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice of Claim to which such Third-Party Claim relates to assume the conduct and control,
through counsel reasonably acceptable to ARYA or Amber GT Parent, as applicable (it being understood and agreed that, if the Indemnifying
Party is ARYA, then Kirkland & Ellis LLP shall be deemed to be reasonably acceptable) and at the expense of the Indemnifying
Party, of the settlement or defense thereof, and ARYA or Amber GT Parent, as applicable, shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying
Party in connection therewith (it being acknowledged and agreed that upon such assumption of conduct and control, the Indemnifying Party,
and not the Indemnified Party(ies), shall, subject to clauses (i) through (iv) below, have the exclusive right to settle
and defend such Third-Party Claim); provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party may not settle any such Third-Party
Claim without the prior written consent of ARYA or Amber GT Parent, as applicable, if any such settlement (i) results in non-monetary
damages, (ii) contains an admission of wrongdoing or liability on behalf of any Indemnified Party, (iii) provides that an Indemnified
Party is required to (A) take or refrain from taking any material action that would, in the absence of taking or refraining to take
such action, adversely affect such Indemnified Party, (B) acknowledge any material rights of the Person making the Third-Party Claim
that would adversely affect such Indemnified Party or (C) waive any material rights that such Indemnified Party may have against
such Person making the Third-Party Claim or (iv) does not include a legally binding, unconditional and irrevocable full release
of the Indemnified Party by the Person bringing such Third-Party Claim from any obligations or liabilities it may have with respect to
the Third-Party Claim; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall permit ARYA or Amber GT Parent, as applicable,
to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by ARYA or Amber GT Parent, as applicable (and the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party). If the Indemnifying Party does not notify ARYA or Amber GT Parent, as applicable,
within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Indemnified Party’s Notice of Claim hereunder that it elects to undertake the
defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise the claim and shall not waive any right
to indemnity pursuant to this Agreement for any Losses related thereto. ARYA or Amber GT Parent, as applicable, shall in no event settle
or compromise (or consent to the settlement or compromise of) any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying
Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless it, as a condition precedent to such payment or
settlement, waives any right to indemnity by the Indemnifying Party for all Losses related to such Third-Party Claim.
(c) The
Parties shall, and shall cause their pertinent Representatives to, reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third-Party
Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, and each of ARYA and Amber GT Parent shall (and shall cause their respective
pertinent Representatives to) furnish such books, records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings,
hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.
(d) For
the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.4 shall not apply with respect to Tax matters, which shall be governed by Section 6.12(e).
10.5 Exclusive
Remedy. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 10.5 and Section 6.10, following the Closing,
the indemnification provisions of this Article X shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the ARYA Indemnified Parties,
on the one hand, and the Amber Indemnified Parties, on the other hand, for any Losses (including any Losses from claims for breach of
contract, warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence) or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability
or otherwise) that any ARYA Indemnified Party or an Amber Indemnified Party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as
a result of, or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any failure by any Party to perform or
comply with any covenant or agreement that, by its terms, was to have been performed, or complied with, under this Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 10.5 shall not (a) affect, restrict or limit the remedies of
specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief pursuant to Section 11.17 or (b) for the avoidance of
doubt, affect, restrict or limit any of the rights, covenants, agreements or obligations (including, if applicable, indemnity or similar
obligations) of any parties under the Transition Services Agreement, the Co-Development and Commercialization Agreement, the A&R
Company LLC Agreement, the Tax Receivables Agreement, the Investors Rights Agreement, or the Philadelphia Facility Sublease or any claims
by any party thereto against any other party(ies) thereto, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions therein.
10.6 Additional
Indemnification Provisions.
(a) With
respect to each indemnification obligation set forth in this Agreement, all Losses shall be net of any amounts that have been recovered
by the Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification by, or indemnification agreement with, any third party or any insurance policy
or other cash receipts or sources of reimbursement in respect of such Loss (after deducting therefrom (i) the amount of the reasonable,
documented and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in procuring such recovery and (ii) in the case of an insurance policy, any actual
increases in premiums of such policies as a result of such recovery).
(b) In
any case where the Indemnified Party (or their Affiliates) recovers pursuant to any indemnification by, or indemnification agreement
with, any third party or any insurance policy or other cash receipts or sources of reimbursement any amount not previously taken into
account in respect of a matter for which such Indemnified Party was indemnified pursuant to Section 10.2 or Section 10.3(a),
as applicable, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Party the amount so recovered or realized (after deducting
therefrom the amount of the reasonable, documented and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in procuring such recovery or realization, including,
in the case of an insurance policy, any actual increases in premiums as a result of such recovery), but not in excess of the sum of (i) any
amount previously so paid pursuant to Section 10.2 or Section 10.3(a), as applicable, to or on behalf of such
Indemnified Party in respect of such matter and (ii) any amount expended by Indemnifying Party in pursuing or defending any claim
arising out of such matter.
10.7 Limitation
of Liability. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any Party have any liability under this
Article X for any punitive damages (other than those actually paid to a third party in connection with any Third-Party Claim).
10.8 Manner
of Payments.
(a) Any
indemnification of an ARYA Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article X shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately
available funds from or on behalf of Amber GT Parent to an account designated in writing by ARYA (on behalf of itself or any other ARYA
Indemnified Parties) within five (5) Business Days after the final determination thereof.
(b) Any
indemnification of an Amber Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article X shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately
available funds from or on behalf of ARYA to an account designated in writing by Amber GT Parent (on behalf of itself or any other Amber
Indemnified Party) within five (5) Business Days after the final determination thereof.

11.2 Amendments;
Waivers.
(a) This
Agreement cannot be amended, supplemented or modified, except by a writing signed by (i) each of ARYA and Amber GT Parent prior
to the Closing and (ii) ARYA, ARYA Sponsor and Amber GT Parent following the Closing, and cannot be amended, supplemented or modified
orally or by course of conduct. No provision hereof may be waived, except by a writing signed by the Party against whom such waiver is
to be enforced, and any such waiver shall apply only in the particular instance in which such waiver shall have been given; provided,
however, that, following the Closing, any waiver of any provision applicable to Amber GT Parent or Amber GT shall also require
the prior written consent of ARYA Sponsor. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except as provided in the preceding sentences
and any purported amendment by any Party or Parties effected in a manner which does not comply with this Section 11.2 shall
be void, ab initio.
(b) Neither
any failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or in requiring satisfaction of any condition herein nor any course
of dealing shall constitute a waiver of or prevent any Party from enforcing any right or remedy or from requiring satisfaction of any
condition. No notice to or demand on a Party waives or otherwise affects any obligation of that Party or impairs any right of the Party
giving such notice or making such demand, including any right to take any action without notice or demand not otherwise required by this
Agreement.
11.3 Arm’s-Length
Bargaining; No Presumption against Drafter. This Agreement has been negotiated at arm’s-length by parties of equal bargaining
strength, each represented by counsel in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement creates
no fiduciary or other special relationship between the Parties, and no such relationship otherwise exists. No presumption in favor of
or against any Party in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be made based upon which Person
might have drafted this Agreement or such provision.
11.4 Publicity.
(a) Subject
to Section 11.4(b), Section 6.6, and Section 6.7, none of the Parties or any of their respective
Representatives shall issue any press releases or make any public announcements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby without the prior written consent of, prior to the Closing, Amber GT Parent and ARYA or, following the Closing, Amber GT Parent,
ARYA and the ARYA Sponsor; provided, however, that each Party, the ARYA Sponsor and their respective Representatives may
issue or make, as applicable, any such press release, public announcement or other communication (i) if such press release, public
announcement or other communication is required by applicable Law, in which case (A) prior to the Closing, the disclosing Party
or its applicable Representatives shall, unless and to the extent prohibited by such applicable Law, (x) if the disclosing Person
is ARYA, the ARYA Sponsor or any of their Representatives, reasonably consult with Amber GT Parent in connection therewith and provide
Amber GT Parent with an opportunity to review and comment on such press release, public announcement or communication and shall consider
any such comments in good faith, or (y) if the disclosing Party is an Amber Entity or any Representative of an Amber Entity, reasonably
consult with ARYA in connection therewith and provide ARYA with an opportunity to review and comment on such press release, public announcement
or communication and shall consider any such comments in good faith, or (B) following the Closing, the disclosing Party or its applicable
Representatives shall, unless and to the extent prohibited by such applicable Law, (x) if the disclosing Person is the ARYA Sponsor
or a Representative of the ARYA Sponsor, reasonably consult with ARYA and Amber GT Parent in connection therewith and provide ARYA and
Amber GT Parent with an opportunity to review and comment on such press release, public announcement or communication and consider any
such comments in good faith, (y) if the disclosing Person is Amber GT Parent or a Representative of Amber GT Parent, reasonably
consult with ARYA and the ARYA Sponsor in connection therewith and provide ARYA and the ARYA Sponsor with an opportunity to review and
comment on such press release, public announcement or communication and consider any such comments in good faith, and (z) if the
disclosing Person is ARYA or a Representative of ARYA, reasonably consult with Amber GT Parent and the ARYA Sponsor in connection therewith
and provide Amber GT Parent and the ARYA Sponsor with an opportunity to review and comment on such press release, public announcement
or communication and consider any such comments in good faith, (ii) to the extent such press release, public announcements or other
communications contain only information previously disclosed in a press release, public announcement or other communication previously
made in accordance with this Section 11.4 and (iii) to governmental Authorities in connection with any Consents required
to be made under this Agreement, the Additional Agreements or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 11.4 or otherwise in this Agreement, the Parties agree that the Perceptive Shareholders
and their respective Representatives may provide general information about the subject matter of this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby to any direct or indirect former, current or prospective investor or in connection with normal fund raising or related
marketing or informational or reporting activities.
(b) The
initial press release concerning this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be a joint press release in the form agreed
by Amber GT Parent and ARYA prior to the execution of this Agreement and such initial press release (the “Signing Press Release”)
shall be released as promptly as reasonably practicable after the execution of this Agreement on the day thereof. Promptly after the
execution of this Agreement, ARYA shall file a current report on Form 8-K (the “Signing Filing”) with the Signing
Press Release and a description of this Agreement as required by, and in compliance with, the securities Laws, which Amber GT Parent
shall have the opportunity to review and comment upon prior to filing and ARYA shall consider such comments in good faith. Amber GT Parent,
on the one hand, and ARYA, on the other hand, shall mutually agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed by either Amber GT Parent or ARYA, as applicable) a press release announcing the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement (the “Closing Press Release”) prior to the Closing, and, on the Closing Date (or such other date
as may be mutually agreed to in writing by Amber GT Parent and ARYA prior to the Closing (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed by either Amber GT Parent or ARYA, as applicable)), the Parties shall cause the Closing Press Release to be released.
Promptly after the Closing (but in any event within four (4) Business Days after the Closing), ARYA shall file a current report
on Form 8-K (the “Closing Filing”) with the Closing Press Release and a description of the Closing as required
by securities Laws, which Closing Filing shall be mutually agreed upon by Amber GT Parent and ARYA prior to the Closing (such agreement
not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by either Amber GT Parent or ARYA, as applicable). In connection with the preparation
of each of the Signing Press Release, the Signing Filing, the Closing Press Release and the Closing Filing, each Party, upon written
request by any other Party, shall furnish such other Party with all information concerning itself, its directors, officers and equityholders,
and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary for such press release or filing.
11.5 Expenses.
Unless otherwise specified herein or in the applicable Additional Agreement, each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred
in connection with this Agreement, the Additional Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; provided that
(a) for the avoidance of doubt, if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, Amber GT Parent shall pay, or cause
to be paid, all Amber Entity Expenses and ARYA shall pay, or cause to be paid, all ARYA Expenses and (b) if the Closing occurs,
then (i) the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, (A) the Unpaid ARYA Transaction Expenses, up to a maximum amount of $25,000,000
and (B) any Unpaid Amber Entity Transaction Expenses in an amount not to exceed the Reimbursement Remainder, and (ii) Amber
GT Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Unpaid Amber Entity Expenses in excess of the Reimbursement Remainder.
11.6 No
Assignment or Delegation. No Party may assign any right or delegate any obligation hereunder, including by merger, consolidation,
operation of Law, or otherwise, without the written consent (a) ARYA and Amber GT Parent prior to the Closing and (b) ARYA,
Amber GT Parent and the ARYA Sponsor following the Closing. Any purported assignment or delegation that does not comply with the immediately
preceding sentence shall be void, in addition to constituting a material breach of this Agreement.
11.7 Governing
Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or statute) that may be based upon, arise out
of or relate to this Agreement or any Additional Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the negotiation,
execution or performance of this Agreement or any Additional Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including
any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this
Agreement or any Additional Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any of the transactions contemplated thereby
or as inducement to enter into this Agreement or any Additional Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby),
shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the Laws (both substantive and procedural) of the State of Delaware,
without giving effect to the conflict of Laws principles thereof (except that the Laws of the Cayman Islands shall also apply to the
Domestication).
11.8 Counterparts;
Electronic Signatures. This Agreement and each Additional Agreement (including any of the closing deliverables contemplated hereby)
may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and
the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement or any Additional Agreement (including
any of the closing deliverables contemplated hereby) by email or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart to this Agreement or any such Additional Agreement.
11.9 Knowledge
of Amber GT Parent; Knowledge of ARYA. For all purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “to the knowledge of Amber GT Parent”
and “known by Amber GT Parent” and any derivations thereof shall mean as of the applicable date, the actual knowledge of

obligations regarding such knowledge.

its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO
(including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of ARYA’s public shareholders (including overallotment shares
acquired by ARYA’s underwriters, the “Public Shareholders”), and ARYA may disburse monies from the Trust Account
only in the express circumstances described in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of ARYA entering into this Agreement, and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each Amber Entity hereby agrees on
behalf of itself and its Representatives that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the
Amber Entities or any of their respective Representatives does now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or
claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including
any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this
Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between ARYA or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and, each Amber
Entity or any of their respective Representatives, on the other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises
based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter
as the “Trust Account Released Claims”). Each Amber Entity, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Representatives,
hereby irrevocably waives any Trust Account Released Claims that it or any of its Representatives may have against the Trust Account
(including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, or Contracts with ARYA
or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever
(including for an alleged breach of any agreement with ARYA or its Affiliates).
11.16 Submission
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
the State of Delaware, and then, if such federal court declines to accept jurisdiction, any state or federal court within New York, New
York), for the purposes of any Action (a) arising under this Agreement or under any Additional Agreement or (b) in any way
connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any Additional Agreement or any
of the transactions contemplated hereby or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives any
objection to the laying of venue of any such Action in any such court, and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees
not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Action has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each Party hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Action or cause
thereof against such Party (x) arising under this Agreement or under any Additional Agreement or (y) in any way connected with
or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any Additional Agreement or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, (i) any claim that such Party is not personally subject to
the jurisdiction of the courts as described in this Section 11.16 for any reason, (ii) that such Party or such Party’s
property is exempt or immune from the 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
(iii) that (x) the Action or cause thereof in any such court is brought against such Party in an inconvenient forum, (y) the
venue of such Action or cause thereof against such Party is improper; or (z) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not
be enforced against such Party in or by such courts. Each Party agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered
mail to such Party’s respective address set forth in Section 11.1 shall be effective service of process for any such
Action, demand, or cause thereof.
11.17 Remedies.
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 the Parties do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of
this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties
shall be entitled to seek 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 they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties 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.
11.18 Waiver
of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY PROCEEDING,
CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY ADDITIONAL AGREEMENT OR (II) IN ANY
WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ADDITIONAL AGREEMENT OR
ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO OR ANY FINANCING IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR ANY OF
THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, 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 PROCEEDING, 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 11.18.
11.19 Non-Recourse.
This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any action for breach of this Agreement may only be made against, the Parties, and without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the Representatives of any Party shall have any Liability arising out of or relating
to this Agreement, the negotiation hereof or its subject matter or the transactions contemplated hereby or the transactions contemplated
hereby, including with respect to any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of this Agreement or in respect of any
written or oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, except as expressly provided herein or, for the avoidance
of doubt, for claims pursuant to any Additional Agreement by any party(ies) thereto against any other party(ies) thereto on the terms
and subject to the conditions therein.

Exhibit A
Form of PIPE Subscription Agreement
Exhibit A
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV
51 Astor Place, 10th Floor
New York, New York 10002
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This Subscription Agreement
(this “Subscription Agreement”) is being entered into as of the date set forth on the signature page hereto, by and
between ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“ARYA”), which shall be domesticated
as a Delaware corporation prior to the closing of the Transaction (as defined herein), and the undersigned subscriber (the “Investor”),
in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time, the “Transaction Agreement”), by and among ARYA, Amicus Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Parent”), Caritas GT Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(“Caritas GT”), and Caritas Therapeutics, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (the “Company”), pursuant to which, among other things, ARYA will
contribute a portion of the net proceeds from the Trust Account (as defined below) and this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription
Agreements (as defined below) in exchange for a majority of the equity securities in the Company and, in connection therewith, Caritas
GT will receive Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, in ARYA, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in the Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction”).
In
connection with the Transaction, ARYA is seeking commitments from interested investors to purchase, following the Domestication (as defined
below) and prior to the closing of the Transaction, shares of ARYA’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”),
in a private placement for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Per Share Purchase Price”). On or about the date
of this Subscription Agreement, ARYA is, severally and not jointly, entering into subscription agreements (the “Other Subscription
Agreements”, and together with this Subscription Agreement, the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain other
investors (the “Other Investors”, and together with the Investor, the “Investors”), pursuant to
which the Investors, severally and not jointly, have agreed to purchase on the closing date of the Transaction, inclusive of the Shares
subscribed for by the Investor, an aggregate amount of up to 20,150,000 Shares, at the Per Share Purchase Price.
Prior
to the closing of the Transaction (and as more fully described in, and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in, the Transaction
Agreement), ARYA will domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware and Part XII of the Cayman Islands Companies Act (2020 Revision) (the “Domestication”).
The
aggregate purchase price to be paid by the Investor for the subscribed Shares (as set forth on the signature page hereto) is referred
to herein as the “Subscription Amount.”
In connection therewith, and
in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein,
and intending to be legally bound hereby, each of the Investor and ARYA acknowledges and agrees as follows:
1.
Subscription. The Investor hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from ARYA the number of Shares set forth
on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Subscription Agreement.
The Investor acknowledges and agrees that ARYA reserves the right to accept or reject the Investor’s subscription for the Shares
for any reason or for no reason, in whole or in part, at any time prior to its acceptance, and the same shall be deemed to be accepted
by ARYA only when this Subscription Agreement is signed by a duly authorized person by or on behalf of ARYA. The
Investor acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of the Domestication, the Shares that
will be purchased by the Investor and issued by ARYA on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Subscription Agreement
shall be shares of common stock in a Delaware corporation (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, ordinary shares in a Cayman Islands exempted
company).
2. Closing.
The closing of the sale, purchase and issuance of the Shares contemplated hereby (the “Closing”)
is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction. The Closing shall occur on the date of, and
immediately prior to, the effectiveness of the Transaction (the date the Closing so occurs, the “Closing Date”).
Upon delivery of written notice from (or on behalf of) ARYA to the Investor (the “Closing
Notice”), that ARYA reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transaction under the Transaction
Agreement to be satisfied or waived on a date that is not less than five (5) business days from the date on which the Closing Notice
is delivered to the Investor, the Investor shall deliver to ARYA, three (3) business days prior to the anticipated closing date
specified in the Closing Notice, the Subscription Amount by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to
the account(s) specified by ARYA in the Closing Notice (such funds to be held in an escrow by ARYA or in such account(s) specified
by ARYA). On the Closing Date, ARYA shall issue a number of Shares to the Investor set forth on the signature page to this
Subscription Agreement and subsequently cause such Shares to be registered in book entry form, free and clear of all liens (other
than those arising under applicable securities laws), in the name of the Investor on ARYA’s share register; provided, however,
that ARYA’s obligation to issue the Shares to the Investor is contingent upon ARYA having received the Subscription Amount in
full accordance with this Section 2. In the event the Closing does not occur within two (2) business days of the anticipated Closing
Date specified in the Closing Notice, ARYA shall promptly (but not later than three (3) business days thereafter) return the
Subscription Amount to the Investor; provided that, unless this Subscription Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Section 8
hereof, such return of funds shall not terminate this Subscription Agreement or relieve the Investor of its obligation to purchase
the Shares at the Closing upon the delivery by ARYA of a subsequent Closing Notice in accordance with this Section 2. For purposes
of this Subscription Agreement, “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which
commercial banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized or required to close for business.
3.
Closing Conditions.
a.
The obligation of the parties hereto to consummate the sale, purchase and issuance of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription
Agreement is subject to the following conditions:
(i)
no applicable governmental authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any judgment, order, law,
rule or regulation (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise enjoining, restraining or prohibiting consummation of the (i) the sale, purchase
and issuance of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or (ii) the Transaction; and
(ii)
(A) all conditions precedent to the closing of the Transaction set forth in the Transaction Agreement shall have been satisfied
(which shall be deemed satisfied if mutually determined by the applicable parties to the Transaction Agreement and other than those conditions
under the Transaction Agreement that, by their nature are to be satisfied in connection with the closing of the Transaction, including
to the extent that any such condition is dependent upon the consummation of the sale, purchase and issuance of the Shares pursuant to
this Subscription Agreement or the Other Subscription Agreements) or waived by the applicable parties to the Transaction Agreement as
provided therein and (B) the closing of the Transaction shall be scheduled to occur concurrently with or on the same date as the Closing.
b.
The obligation of ARYA to consummate the sale and issuance of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement shall be
subject to the condition (which may be waived in writing by ARYA with the prior written consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed)) that all representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement are true and
correct in all material respects at and as of the Closing Date (except for (i) those representations and warranties qualified by materiality,
which shall be true and correct in all respects as of the Closing Date and (ii) those representations and warranties that speak as of
a specified earlier date, which shall be so true and correct in all material respects (or, if qualified by materiality, in all respects)
as of such specified earlier date).
c. The
obligation of the Investor to consummate the purchase of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement shall be subject to the
condition (which may be waived in writing by the Investor) that (i) all representations and warranties of ARYA contained in this
Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects at and as of the Closing Date (except for (x) those
representations and warranties qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect (as defined below), which shall be true and
correct in all respects as of the Closing Date and (y) those representations and warranties that speak as of a specified earlier
date, which shall be so true and correct in all material respects (or, if qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in
all respects) as of such specified earlier date), (ii) ARYA shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects
with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by
it at or prior to the Closing and (iii) the Shares acquired hereunder shall have been approved for listing by the Stock Exchange (as
defined below), subject to official notice of issuance.
4.
Further Assurances. At the Closing, the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take such
additional actions as the parties reasonably may deem to be practical and necessary in order to consummate the subscription as contemplated
by this Subscription Agreement.
5.
ARYA Representations and Warranties. ARYA represents and warrants to the Investor that:
a. ARYA
is an exempted company duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands (to the extent such
concept exists in such jurisdiction). ARYA has all power (corporate or otherwise) and authority to own, lease and operate its properties
and conduct its business as presently conducted and to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement.
As of the Closing Date, following the Domestication, ARYA will be duly incorporated, validly existing as a corporation and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Delaware.
b.
As of the Closing Date, the Shares will be duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to the Investor against full payment
therefor in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
and will not have been issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive or similar rights created under ARYA’s certificate of
incorporation or bylaws (each, as amended to the Closing Date) or under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or under
any agreement or instrument to which ARYA is a party.
c. The
Subscription Agreement and the Transaction Agreement have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by ARYA and, with respect to the
Subscription Agreement, assuming that the Subscription Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Investor, constitutes
a legal, valid and binding obligation of ARYA, enforceable against ARYA in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited or otherwise
affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the
rights of creditors generally, or (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.
d.
The sale and issuance of the Shares and the compliance by ARYA with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms
or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of
the property or assets of ARYA or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement,
lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which ARYA or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which ARYA or any of its subsidiaries
is bound or to which any of the property or assets of ARYA or any of its subsidiaries is subject that would reasonably be expected to
have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of ARYA and its subsidiaries, taken as a
whole or materially affect the validity of the Shares or the legal authority of ARYA to comply in all material respects with the terms
of this Subscription Agreement (a “Material Adverse Effect”); (ii) result
in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of ARYA; or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment,
order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over ARYA or any of their
properties that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
e. As
of their respective filing dates, all reports, forms, statements, schedules, prospectuses, proxy statements, registration statements
and other documents (the “SEC Reports”) required to be filed, or actually filed, by ARYA with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC
Reports, when filed or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment with respect to those disclosures that are amended, contained
any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. ARYA has filed with the
SEC each SEC Report that ARYA was required to file with the SEC. The financial statements of ARYA included in the SEC Reports comply
in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in
effect at the time of filing or, if amended, as of the time of such amendment, and fairly present in all material respects the
financial position of ARYA as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented,
subject to (i) in the case of interim unaudited statements, normal, year-end audit adjustments, and (ii) changes to historical
accounting policies of ARYA in connection with any order, directive, guideline, comment or recommendation from the SEC that is
applicable to ARYA. A copy of each SEC Report is available to the Investor via the SEC’s EDGAR system. There are no
outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters received by ARYA from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the
SEC with respect to any of the SEC Reports.
f.
ARYA is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or
registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or other person
in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by ARYA of this Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, the
issuance of the Shares), other than (i) filings with the SEC, (ii) filings required by applicable state securities laws, (iii) filings
required by Nasdaq, or such other applicable stock exchange on which ARYA’s common equity is then listed (the “Stock Exchange”),
and (iv) the failure of which to obtain would not be reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
g.
The issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares of ARYA, $0.0001 par value (“Class A Shares”) are
registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on the Stock Exchange. There is no suit, action, proceeding
or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of ARYA, threatened against ARYA by the Stock Exchange or the SEC, respectively, to prohibit
or terminate the listing of the Class A Shares or, when issued, the shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, expected to be
issued in the Delaware corporation in connection with the Domestication (the “Delaware Common Shares”), or to deregister
the Class A Shares or, when registered and issued in connection with the Domestication, the Delaware Common Shares, under the Exchange
Act. ARYA has taken no action that is designed to terminate the registration of the Class A Shares under the Exchange Act, other than
in connection with the Domestication and subsequent registration under the Exchange Act of the Delaware Common Shares.
h.
Assuming the accuracy of the Investor’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 6, no registration under
the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Shares by ARYA to the Investor hereunder. The Shares (i) were not offered
to the Investor by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are not being offered to the Investor in a manner
involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws.
i.
Other than the Placement Agent (as defined below), ARYA has not engaged any broker, finder, commission agent, placement
agent or arranger in connection with the sale of the Shares, and ARYA is not under any obligation to pay any broker’s fee or commission
in connection with the sale of the Shares other than to the Placement Agent.
j.
Other than as disclosed in the SEC Reports, ARYA has not entered into any side letter or similar agreement with any Other
Investor relating to an investment in the Shares that is materially more advantageous to such Other Investor than the terms and conditions
hereunder are to the Investor. The Other Subscription Agreements reflect the same Per Share Purchase Price and other terms with respect
to the purchase of the Shares that are not materially more favorable to the investors thereunder than the terms of this Subscription Agreement,
other than representations, warranties and terms particular to the regulatory requirements of such investor or its affiliates or related
funds. The Other Subscription Agreements have not been amended in any material respect following the date of this Subscription Agreement.
k. As
of the date of this Subscription Agreement, the authorized capital stock of ARYA consists of 1,000,000 preference shares (the
“Preferred Shares”), 479,000,000 Class A Shares, and 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares (the “Class B
Shares”), each par value $0.0001 per share. As of the date of this Subscription Agreement, (i) no Preferred Shares are
issued and outstanding, (ii) 15,449,000 Class A shares are issued and outstanding, and (iii) 3,737,500 Class B Shares are issued and
outstanding. All issued and outstanding Class A Shares and Class B Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully
paid and are non-assessable. As of the date hereof, ARYA has no subsidiaries and does not own, directly or indirectly, interests or
investments (whether equity or debt) in any person, whether incorporated or unincorporated. There are no shareholder agreements,
voting trusts or other agreements or understandings to which ARYA is a party or by which it is bound relating to the voting of any
securities of ARYA, other than (1) as set forth in the SEC Reports and (2) as contemplated by the Transaction Agreement.
l.
ARYA is in compliance with applicable law, except where such noncompliance would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. ARYA has not received any written communication from a governmental authority that alleges that ARYA is not in compliance
with or is in default of any applicable law, except where such noncompliance or default has not had and would not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.
m.
Except for such matters as have not had and would not be reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect, there is no (i) action, suit, claim or other proceeding, in each case by or before any governmental authority
pending, or, to the knowledge of ARYA, threatened against ARYA or (ii) judgment, decree injunction, ruling or order of any governmental
entity or arbitrator outstanding against ARYA.
n.
ARYA acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Shares may be pledged by Investor
in connection with a bona fide margin agreement, provided such pledge shall be (i) pursuant to an available exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act or (ii) pursuant to, and in accordance with, a registration statement that is effective under the Securities
Act at the time of such pledge, and the Investor effecting a pledge of Shares shall not be required to provide ARYA with any notice thereof; provided, however,
that neither ARYA, the Company or their respective counsels shall be required to take any action (or refrain from taking any action) in
connection with any such pledge, other than providing any such lender of such margin agreement with an acknowledgment that the Shares
are not subject to any contractual prohibition on pledging or lock up, the form of such acknowledgment to be subject to review and comment
by ARYA in all respects.
o.
There has been no action taken by (1) to the knowledge of ARYA, ARYA or any officer, director, or to the knowledge of ARYA,
any equityholder, manager, employee, agent or representative of ARYA or (2) to the knowledge of ARYA, by the Company, any of its subsidiaries
(collectively, ARYA, the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries, the “Entities”), or any officer, director, equityholder,
manager, employee, agent or representative of any of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, in each case of (1) and (2), acting on behalf
of any of the Entities, in violation of any applicable Anti-Corruption Laws (as herein defined), and, to the knowledge of ARYA, none of
the Entities or any officer, director, equityholder, manager, employee, agent or representative of any of the Entities, in each case,
acting on behalf of any of the Entities, have (i) been convicted of violating any Anti-Corruption Laws or subjected to any investigation
by a governmental authority for violation of any applicable Anti-Corruption Laws, (ii) conducted or initiated any internal investigation
or made a voluntary, directed, or involuntary disclosure to any governmental authority regarding any alleged act or omission arising under
or relating to any noncompliance with any Anti-Corruption Laws or (iii) received any written notice or citation from a governmental authority
for any actual or potential noncompliance with any applicable Anti-Corruption Laws. As used herein, “Anti-Corruption Laws”
means any applicable laws relating to corruption and bribery, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (as amended), the
UK Bribery Act 2010, and any similar law that prohibits bribery or corruption.
p.
ARYA is, and will continue to be, including following the Domestication, classified as a Subchapter C corporation for U.S.
federal income tax purposes.
6.
Investor Representations and Warranties. The Investor represents and warrants to ARYA that:
a.
The Investor (i) is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or

The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering
within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the offer and sale of the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act.
The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares may not be offered, resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by the
Investor absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act except (i) to ARYA or a subsidiary thereof, (ii) to non-U.S.
persons pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act
or (iii) pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each of clauses (i)
and (iii) in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states and other jurisdictions of the United States, and that any book

and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, the Investor may not be able to readily offer, resell, transfer, pledge or otherwise
dispose of the Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time.
The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares will not be eligible for offer, resale, transfer or disposition pursuant to Rule
144 promulgated under the Securities Act until at least one year from the date that ARYA files a Current Report on Form 8-K following
the Closing Date that includes the “Form 10” information required under applicable SEC rules and regulations. The Investor
acknowledges and agrees that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition
of any of the Shares.
c.
The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor is purchasing the Shares from ARYA. The Investor further acknowledges
that there have been no representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made to the Investor by or on behalf of ARYA, the Company,
any of their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any
of the foregoing or any other person or entity, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements of ARYA expressly set forth in Section 5 of this Subscription Agreement.
d.
The Investor’s acquisition and holding of the Shares will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction
under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, or any applicable similar law.
e.
The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor has received such information as the Investor deems necessary in
order to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares, including, without limitation, with respect to ARYA, the Transaction
and the business of the Company and its subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor acknowledges that
it had an opportunity to review the SEC Reports. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor and the Investor’s professional
advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as the Investor
and such Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares.
f.
The Investor became aware of this offering of the Shares solely by means of direct contact between the Investor and ARYA,
the Company or a representative of ARYA or the Company, and the Shares were offered to the Investor solely by direct contact between the
Investor and ARYA, the Company or a representative of ARYA or the Company. The Investor did not become aware of this offering of the Shares,
nor were the Shares offered to the Investor, by any other means. The Investor acknowledges that the Shares (i) were not offered to it
by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) to its knowledge are not being offered in a manner involving a public
offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws. The Investor acknowledges that
it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including,
without limitation, ARYA, the Company, the Placement Agent, any of their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors,
employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), other than the representations and warranties of ARYA contained
in Section 5 of this Subscription Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in ARYA.
g. The
Investor acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Shares,
including, without limitation, those set forth in ARYA’s SEC Reports. The Investor has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, and the Investor
has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Investor has considered necessary to make an informed investment
decision.
h.
Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), the Investor has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks
of an investment in the Shares and determined that the Shares are a suitable investment for the Investor and that the Investor is able
at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of the Investor’s investment in ARYA. The Investor
acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.
i. In making its decision to purchase the Shares, the Investor has relied solely upon independent investigation made by the
Investor; provided that neither such investigation nor any other inquiries or due diligence conducted by the Investor shall modify, limit
or otherwise affect the Investor’s right to rely on ARYA’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor has not relied on any statements or other information provided by or on behalf
of the Placement Agent or any of its affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives
of any of the foregoing concerning ARYA, the Company, the Transaction, the Transaction Agreement, this Subscription Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, the Shares or the offer and sale of the Shares.
j. The
Investor acknowledges and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Shares
or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.
k. The
Investor has been duly formed or incorporated and is validly existing and is in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation
or incorporation, with power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement.
l. The
execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of this Subscription Agreement are within the powers of the Investor, have been duly
authorized and will not constitute or result in a breach or default under or conflict with any order, ruling or regulation of any court
or other tribunal or of any governmental commission or agency, or any agreement or other undertaking, to which the Investor is a party
or by which the Investor is bound that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the legal authority of the Investor
to comply with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, and, if the Investor is not an individual, will not conflict with or violate
any provisions of the Investor’s organizational documents, including, without limitation, its incorporation or formation papers,
bylaws, indenture of trust or partnership or operating agreement, as may be applicable. The signature on this Subscription Agreement
is genuine, and the signatory, if the Investor is an individual, has legal competence and capacity to execute the same or, if the Investor
is not an individual, the signatory has been duly authorized to execute the same. This Subscription Agreement has been duly executed
and delivered by the Investor or the investment advisor to which the Investor has delegated decision-making authority over investments
and, assuming that the Subscription Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of ARYA, constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms except as may be limited or otherwise affected
by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of
creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.
m. The
Investor is not (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the
U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”)
or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC
List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program, (ii) a Designated National as defined in
the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, or (iii) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services indirectly to
a non-U.S. shell bank (each, a “Prohibited Investor”). The Investor
agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that the
Investor is permitted to do so under applicable law. If the Investor is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31
U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.) (the “BSA”), as amended by the USA PATRIOT
Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and its implementing regulations
(collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), the Investor maintains policies
and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. To the extent required, it
maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs,
including, without limitation, the OFAC List. To the extent required by applicable law, the Investor maintains policies and
procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by the Investor and used to purchase the Shares were legally
derived.
n.
The Investor acknowledges that no disclosure or offering document has been prepared by Jefferies
LLC or any of its affiliates (the “Placement Agent”) in connection
with the offer and sale of the Shares.
o.
The Investor acknowledges that none of the Placement Agent, any of its affiliates nor any control persons, officers, directors,
employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing have made any independent investigation with respect to ARYA, the
Company or its subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, or the Shares or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of any information
supplied to the Investor by ARYA.
p.
The Investor acknowledges that in connection with the issue and purchase of the Shares, the Placement Agent has not acted
as the Investor’s underwriter, initial purchaser, dealer, financial advisor, fiduciary or in any similar capacity.
q.
The Investor has or has commitments to have and, when required to deliver payment
to ARYA pursuant to Section 2 above, will have, sufficient funds to pay the Subscription Amount and consummate the sale, purchase
and issuance of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.
r. The
Investor does not have, as of the date hereof, and during the 30-day period immediately prior to the date hereof such Investor has not
entered into, any “put equivalent position” as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act or short sale positions
with respect to the securities of ARYA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Investor that is a multi-managed investment
vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Investor’s assets and the portfolio managers have
no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Investor’s assets,
the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made
the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Subscription Agreement.
7.
Registration Rights.
a. In
the event that the Shares are not registered in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, ARYA agrees that, within
fifteen (15) calendar days after the consummation of the Transaction (the “Filing Date”), it will file with the
SEC (at its sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Shares (the “Registration
Statement”), and it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as
soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) sixty (60) calendar days (or ninety (90) calendar
days if the SEC notifies ARYA that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Filing Date and (ii) five
(5) Business Days after ARYA is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement
will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness
Date”). ARYA agrees to cause such Registration Statement, or another shelf registration statement that includes the Shares
to be sold pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, to remain effective until the earliest of (i) the fourth anniversary of the
Closing, (ii) the date on which the Investor ceases to hold any Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, or (iii) on
the first date on which the Investor is able to sell all of its Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares
received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of the Securities Act within 90 days without limitation as to the amount of such
securities that may be sold and without the requirement for ARYA to be in compliance with the current public information required
under Rule 144(i)(2) (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Investor agrees to disclose its beneficial ownership, as
determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, of Shares to ARYA (or its successor) upon reasonable request to assist
ARYA in making the determination described above In no event shall the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the
Registration Statement unless requested by the SEC; provided, that if the SEC requests that the Investor be identified as a
statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Investor will have an opportunity to withdraw its Shares from the
Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents ARYA from including any or all of the shares proposed to
be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the
Shares by the applicable shareholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Shares
which is equal to the maximum number of Shares as is permitted by the SEC. In such event, the number of Shares to be registered for
each selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders. For as
long as the Registration Statement shall remain effective pursuant to this Section 7(a), ARYA will use commercially reasonable
efforts to (1) qualify the Shares for listing on the Stock Exchange, and (2) update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary
to include the Shares sold hereby for resale. For as long as the Investor holds the Shares, ARYA will use commercially reasonable
efforts to file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the undersigned to resell the
Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 of the Securities Act (when Rule 144 of the Securities Act becomes
available to the Investor), as applicable, including providing any legal opinions to ARYA’s transfer agent. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, ARYA may delay or postpone filing of such Registration Statement, and from time to time
require the Investor not to sell under the Registration Statement or suspend the use or effectiveness of any such Registration
Statement, if the board of directors of ARYA determines, in good faith and upon the advice of counsel, that either in order for the
Registration Statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, or if such filing
or use could materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of ARYA or would require premature disclosure of
information that could materially adversely affect ARYA (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided,
that, (i) ARYA shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of the Registration Statement for a period of more than sixty (60)
consecutive days or more than a total of ninety (90) calendar days, in each case in any three hundred sixty (360) day period and
(ii) ARYA shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such Registration Statement available for the resale by the undersigned
of the Shares as soon as practicable thereafter. If so directed by ARYA, the Investor will destroy all copies of the prospectus
covering the Shares in the Investor’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to destroy all copies of the
prospectus covering the Shares shall not apply (x) to the extent the Investor is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (A) in
order to comply with applicable legal or regulatory requirements or (B) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document
retention policy or (y) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. ARYA’s
obligations to include the Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares issued in exchange therefor) for resale
in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Investor furnishing in writing to ARYA such information regarding the
Investor, the securities of ARYA held by the Investor and the intended method of disposition of such Shares, which shall be limited
to non-underwritten public offerings, as shall be reasonably requested by ARYA to effect the registration of such Shares, and shall
execute such documents in connection with such registration as ARYA may reasonably request that are customary of a selling
stockholder in similar situations.
b. ARYA
shall advise the Investor within two (2) Business Days: (i) when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto
has become effective; (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus
included therein or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of
any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; (iv) of the receipt by ARYA of any notification
with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or
threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (v) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence
of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the
statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.
Upon receipt of any written notice from ARYA (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding ARYA) of
the happening of any event contemplated in clauses (ii) through (v) above or of a Suspension Event during the period that the
Registration Statement is effective , the Investor agrees that (1) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Shares
under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144 or another applicable
exemption to registration under the Securities Act) until the undersigned receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus
(which ARYA agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that
any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by ARYA that it may resume such offers and sales, and
(2) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by ARYA except (A) for
disclosure to the Investor’s employees, agents and professional advisers who need to know such information and are obligated
to keep it confidential, (B) for disclosures to the extent required in order to comply with reporting obligations to its limited
partners who have agreed to keep such information confidential and (C) as required by law or subpoena. ARYA shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as
soon as reasonably practicable. Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in clauses (i) through (v) above, except for such
times as ARYA is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration
Statement, ARYA shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective
amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as
thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading.
c.
ARYA will use its commercially reasonable efforts to (A) at the reasonable request of Investor, deliver all the necessary
documentation to cause ARYA’s transfer agent to remove all restrictive legends from any Shares being sold under the Registration
Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 at the time of sale of the Shares, or that may be sold by Investor without restriction under Rule 144,
including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions, and (B) cause its legal counsel to deliver to the transfer agent
the necessary legal opinions required by the transfer agent, if any, in connection with the instruction under clause (A) upon the
receipt of Investor representation letters and such other customary supporting documentation as requested by (and in a form reasonably
acceptable to) such counsel, in each case within 2 business days of such request. The Investor agrees to disclose its beneficial ownership,
as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, of Shares to ARYA (or its successor) upon reasonable request to assist
ARYA in making the determination described above.
d.
Indemnification
(i)
ARYA agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the Investor, its directors, and officers, employees,
and agents, and each person who controls the Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) and each affiliate
of the Investor (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with
defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any
Registration Statement, prospectus included 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 ARYA by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein.
(ii)
The Investor agrees, severally and not jointly with any other person that is a party to the Other Subscription Agreements,
to indemnify and hold harmless ARYA, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls ARYA (within the meaning of the
Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable and documented
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
so furnished in writing by the or on behalf of Investor expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of the Investor be
greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Investor upon the sale of the Shares purchased pursuant
to this Subscription Agreement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(iii) Any
person entitled to indemnification herein shall (1) 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 prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (2) 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.
An indemnifying party who 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 legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists 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 that (1) 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), (2) 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 or (3) contains any statement of fault or culpability.
(iv)
The indemnification provided for under this Subscription 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, employee, agent, affiliate or controlling person
of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.
(v)
If the indemnification provided under this Section 7(d) 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 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. 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 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses
reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. 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 Section 7(d) from
any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the liability of the Investor pursuant to this Section
7(d)(v) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Investor upon the sale of the Shares purchased
pursuant to this Subscription Agreement giving rise to such indemnification obligation, and such obligations of the Investor shall be
several and not joint.
8.
Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights
and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon
the earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) upon the
mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto and the Company to terminate this Subscription Agreement, and (c) the delivery
of a notice of termination of this Subscription Agreement by the Investor to ARYA following the date that is fifteen (15) calendar days
after the Termination Date (as defined in the Transaction Agreement currently in effect on the date hereof, and such fifteenth calendar
day, the “Outside Date”), if the Closing has not occurred by the Outside Date (provided, that the right to terminate
this Subscription Agreement pursuant to this clause (c) shall not be available to the Investor if the Investor’s breach of any of
its covenants or obligations under this Subscription Agreement (or if an affiliate of the Investor is one of the Investors under an Other
Subscription Agreement, and such other Investor’s breach of any of its covenants or obligations under the Other Subscription Agreement),
either individually or in the aggregate, shall have proximately caused the failure of the consummation of the Transaction on or before
the Outside Date) (the termination events described in clauses (a)–(c) above, collectively, the “Termination Events”);
provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful and material breach of any covenant, agreement,
obligation, representation or warranty hereunder prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at
law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful and material breach. ARYA shall notify the Investor
of the termination of the Transaction Agreement as promptly as practicable after the termination of the Transaction Agreement. Upon the
occurrence of any Termination Event, this Subscription Agreement shall be void and of no further effect and any monies paid by the Investor
to ARYA in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) business day) following the Termination Event be returned
to the Investor.
9. Trust
Account Waiver. The Investor acknowledges that ARYA is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger,
asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving ARYA and one or more businesses or assets. The Investor
further acknowledges that, as described in ARYA’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated February 25, 2021
(the “Final Prospectus”) available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of
ARYA’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of ARYA’s initial public offering and private placement of its securities,
and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust
Account”) for the benefit of ARYA, its public shareholders and the underwriters of ARYA’s initial public
offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to ARYA to pay its tax
obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Final Prospectus. For and
in consideration of ARYA entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the Investor hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind it has or may have in the
future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or
arising out of, this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby regardless of whether such claim arises based on
contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9 shall be deemed to
limit the Investor’s right, title, interest or claim to any monies held in the Trust Account by virtue of its record or
beneficial ownership of Class A Shares outstanding on the date hereof (whether acquired by the Investor prior to, on or after the
date hereof), pursuant to a validly exercised redemption right with respect to any such Class A Shares, in accordance with
ARYA’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Investment Management Trust Agreement between
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and ARYA, dated March 2, 2021, except to the extent that the Investor has otherwise
agreed in writing with ARYA, the Company or any of their respective affiliates to not exercise such redemption right.
10.
Miscellaneous.
a.
Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Investor hereunder (other than the Shares acquired
hereunder and the rights set forth in Section 7 solely in connection with a transfer of such Shares (other than a transfer in connection
with a sale pursuant to either an effective registration statement or under Rule 144), if any) may be transferred or assigned. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, after notifying ARYA, Investor may assign its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to one or more of
its affiliates (including other investment funds or accounts managed or advised by the investment manager who acts on behalf of Investor)
or, with the Company’s prior written consent, to another person, provided that no such assignment shall relieve Investor of its
obligations hereunder if any such assignee fails to perform such obligations.
b.
ARYA may request from the Investor such additional information as ARYA may deem necessary to register the resale of the
Shares and evaluate the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Shares, and the Investor shall provide such information as may be reasonably
requested. The Investor acknowledges that ARYA may file a form of this Subscription Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to a periodic
report or a registration statement of ARYA.
c.
The Investor acknowledges that ARYA, the Company, the Placement Agent and others will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings,
agreements, representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, the Investor
agrees to promptly notify ARYA, the Company and the Placement Agent if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations
or warranties set forth in Section 6 above are no longer accurate in any material respect (other than those acknowledgments, understandings,
agreements, representations and warranties qualified by materiality, in which case the Investor shall notify ARYA, the Company and the
Placement Agent if they are no longer accurate in any respect). The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the purchase by the Investor
of Shares from ARYA will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties
herein (as modified by any notice previously provided pursuant to this Section 10 or otherwise) by the Investor as of the time of such
purchase.
d.
ARYA, the Company and the Placement Agent are each entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and each is irrevocably
authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or
official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby; provided, however, that the foregoing clause of this Section
10(d) shall not give the Company or the Placement Agent any rights other than those expressly set forth herein and, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be entitled to rely on any of the representations
and warranties of ARYA set forth in this Subscription Agreement.
e.
All of the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive
the Closing.
f.
This Subscription Agreement may not be terminated other than pursuant to the terms of Section 8 above. The provisions of
this Subscription Agreement may not be modified, amended or waived except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of ARYA and the
Investor hereto; provided, however, that no modification, amendment or waiver by ARYA of the provisions of this Subscription
Agreement shall be effective without the prior written consent of Parent (other than modifications, amendments or waivers that are solely
ministerial in nature or otherwise immaterial and, in each case, do not affect any economic or any other material term of this Subscription
Agreement). No failure or delay of either ARYA or the Investor in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right
or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights
and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.
g. This
Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, the schedule hereto) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other
prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject
matter hereof. Except as set forth in Section 3(b), Section 7, Section 8, Section 10(c), Section 10(d), Section 10(f) and this Section
10(g) with respect to the persons specifically referenced therein, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies
upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successor and assigns, and the parties hereto acknowledge that such
persons so referenced are third party beneficiaries of this Subscription Agreement with right of enforcement for the purposes of, and
to the extent of, the rights granted to them, if any, pursuant to the applicable provisions; provided, that, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Subscription Agreement, the Company is an intended third party beneficiary of each of the provisions
of this Subscription Agreement.
h.
Except as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements,
representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs,
executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.
i.
If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.
j. This
Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including, without limitation, by facsimile or electronic mail or
in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document.
All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.
k. The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were
not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be
entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Subscription Agreement, without posting a bond or undertaking and
without proof of damages, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement, this being in addition to
any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. The parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that the Company shall be entitled to seek to specifically enforce the Investor’s obligations to fund the Subscription
Amount and the provisions of this Subscription Agreement of which the Company is an express third party beneficiary, in each case, on
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
l. Any
notice or communication required or permitted hereunder to be given to the Investor shall be in writing and either delivered personally,
emailed or sent by overnight mail via a reputable overnight carrier, or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, to such
address(es) or email address(es) set forth on the signature page hereto, and shall be deemed to be given and received (i) when so delivered
personally, (ii) when sent, with no mail undeliverable or other rejection notice, if sent by email, or (iii) three (3) business days
after the date of mailing to the address below or to such other address or addresses as the Investor may hereafter designate by notice
to ARYA.

STATE OF DELAWARE DECLINES TO ACCEPT JURISDICTION, THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR

THE DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO IN THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND IN RESPECT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND HEREBY WAIVE, AND
AGREE NOT TO ASSERT, AS A DEFENSE IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING FOR INTERPRETATION OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR ANY SUCH DOCUMENT THAT
IS NOT SUBJECT THERETO OR THAT SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING MAY NOT BE BROUGHT OR IS NOT MAINTAINABLE IN SAID COURTS OR THAT VENUE
THEREOF MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE OR THAT THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR ANY SUCH DOCUMENT MAY NOT BE ENFORCED IN OR BY SUCH COURTS, AND
THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED BY

OF SUCH DISPUTE AND AGREE THAT MAILING OF PROCESS OR OTHER PAPERS IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN THE MANNER PROVIDED

EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE
COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY

understanding with Investor (including Investor's controlled affiliates) engage in any “short sales” (as defined in Rule
200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act) with respect to, any Shares or any securities of ARYA or any instrument exchangeable
for or convertible into any Shares or any securities of ARYA until the consummation of the Transaction (or such earlier termination
of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with its terms). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10(n) shall not apply to (x)
ordinary course, non speculative hedging transactions, or (y) any sale (including the exercise of any redemption right) of
securities of ARYA (i) held by the Investor, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Investor or
any of its controlled affiliates prior to the execution of this Subscription Agreement or (ii) purchased by the Investor, its
controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Investor or any of its controlled affiliates in open market
transactions after the execution of this Subscription Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing herein shall prohibit
any entities under common management with the Investor (including the Investor's controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from
entering into any short sales; (ii) in the case of an Investor that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio
managers or desks manage separate portions of such Investor's assets this Section 10(n) shall only apply with respect to the portion
of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Subscription
Agreement.
o.
The Investor hereby acknowledges that the Placement Agent and/or its affiliates may now or in the future own securities
of ARYA and/or purchase securities in the Transaction.
11.
Non-Reliance and Exculpation. The Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement,
representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, the
Placement Agent, any of its affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives
of any of the foregoing), other than the statements, representations and warranties of ARYA expressly contained in Section 5 of this Subscription
Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in ARYA. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that none of (i) any other investor
pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or any other subscription agreement related to the private placement of the Shares (including
the investor’s respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives
of any of the foregoing), (ii) the Placement Agent, its affiliates or any control persons, officers,
directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing, or (iii) any other party to the Transaction
Agreement or any Non-Party Affiliate, shall have any liability to the Investor pursuant to, arising out of or relating to this Subscription
Agreement or any other subscription agreement related to the private placement of the Shares, the negotiation hereof or thereof or its
subject matter, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including, without limitation, with respect to any action heretofore
or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Shares or with respect to any claim (whether
in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of this Subscription Agreement or in respect of any written or oral representations made or
alleged to be made in connection herewith, as expressly provided herein, or for any actual or alleged inaccuracies, misstatements or omissions
with respect to any information or materials of any kind furnished by ARYA, the Company, the Placement Agent or any Non-Party Affiliate
concerning ARYA, the Company, the Placement Agent, any of their respective controlled affiliates, this Subscription Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Non-Party Affiliates” means each former, current or future
officer, director, employee, partner, member, manager, direct or indirect equityholder or affiliate of ARYA, the Company, the Placement
Agent or any of ARYA’s, the Company’s or the Placement Agent’s controlled affiliates or any family member of the foregoing.
12.
Disclosure. ARYA shall, on the first (1st) business day following the date of this Subscription Agreement, issue
one or more press releases or file with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K (collectively, the “Disclosure Document”) disclosing
all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Other Subscription Agreements, the Transaction and any other material,
nonpublic information that ARYA has provided to the Investor at any time prior to the filing of the Disclosure Document. From and after
the disclosure of the Disclosure Document, the Investor and, to the knowledge of ARYA, the Investor’s affiliates, attorneys, agents
or representatives shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information received from ARYA, the Company or any of their
officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives, and the Investor shall no longer be subject to any confidentiality or similar
obligations under any current agreement, whether written or oral with ARYA, the Placement Agent, the Company or any of their affiliates,
relating to the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, the Other Subscription Agreements, or the Transaction Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything this this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, ARYA shall not, and shall cause each of its officers, directors,
employees, attorneys, representatives and agents not to, provide the Investor with any material, non-public information regarding ARYA
or the Company from and after the filing of the Disclosure Document with the SEC without the express prior written consent of the Investor.
ARYA understands and confirms that the Investor and the Investor’s affiliates, attorneys, agents and representatives will rely on
the foregoing representations and covenants in effecting transactions of securities in ARYA. Notwithstanding
anything in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, ARYA shall not (i) publicly disclose the name of the Investor or any of its affiliates
or advisers or include the name of the Investor or any of its affiliates or advisers in any press release without the prior written consent
of the Investor or (ii) publicly disclose the name of the Investor or any of its affiliates or advisers, or include the name of the Investor
or any of its affiliates or advisers in any filing with the SEC or any regulatory agency or trading market, without the prior written
consent of the Investor except as required by the federal securities law or pursuant to other routine proceedings of regulatory authorities,
or to the extent such disclosure is required by law, at the request of the staff of the SEC or regulatory agency or under the regulations
of the Stock Exchange, in which case ARYA will provide Investor with prior written notice (including by e-mail, with no mail undeliverable
or rejection notice) of such disclosure under this clause (ii).
13.
Several Obligations. The obligations of the Investor and each Other Investor in connection with the private placement are
several and not joint, and Investor shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Investor in
connection with the private placement. Nothing contained herein or in any Other Subscription Agreement, and no action taken by Investor
or any Other Investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investor and Other Investor as a partnership, an association,
a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investor and Other Investors are in any way acting in concert
or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby.

and conditions set forth herein, the Company and each Member, hereby agrees to amend and restate the Original Agreement in its entirety
as follows:
Article I
DEFINED
TERMS
Section 1.1
Definitions. As used herein, each of the following underlined terms has the meaning specified in this Section 1.1:
“Additional Agreements” has
the meaning set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.
“Additional Member” means any
Person that is admitted to the Company as a Member pursuant to Section 11.1 and has not ceased to be a Member pursuant to
the Act and this Agreement; provided that a Substituted Member shall not be deemed an Additional Member.
“Adjusted Capital Account Deficit”
means, with respect to any Member, the deficit balance, if any, in such Member’s Capital Account as of the end of the relevant Fiscal
Year after giving effect to the following adjustments: (a) credit to such Capital Account any amounts that such Member is obligated to
restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5) and (b) debit to such Capital Account
such Member’s share of the items described in Regulations sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6). This definition of Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit is intended to comply with the provisions of Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted
consistently therewith.
“Adjustment Factor” means 1.0;
provided, however, that in the event:
(a)
the Corporation (i) pays a dividend on its outstanding Class A Shares wholly or partly in Class A Shares or makes
a distribution to all holders of its outstanding Class A Shares wholly or partly in Class A Shares, (ii) splits or subdivides
its outstanding Class A Shares or (iii) effects a reverse stock split or otherwise combines its outstanding Class A Shares
into a smaller number of Class A Shares, the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Adjustment Factor in effect as
of immediately prior to the record date for purposes of determining the holders of Class A Shares entitled to participate in such dividend,
distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split or combination (or, if there is no such record date, the number of Class A Shares that
are entitled to participate in such distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split or combination) (which, for the avoidance of doubt
shall be determined without taking into account such dividend, distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split or combination) by a fraction,
(1) the numerator of which shall be the number of Class A Shares issued and outstanding on the record date for purposes of determining
the holders of Class A Shares entitled to participate in such dividend, distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split or combination
(or, if there is no such record date, the number of Class A Shares that are entitled to participate in such distribution, split, subdivision,
reverse split or combination) (assuming for such purposes that such dividend, distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split or combination
has occurred as of such time) and (2) the denominator of which shall be the actual number of Class A Shares issued and outstanding
on the record date (or, if there is no such record date, as of immediately prior to such distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split
or combination, as applicable) (which, for the avoidance of doubt shall be determined without taking into account such dividend, distribution,
split, subdivision, reverse split or combination);
(b)
the Corporation distributes any rights, options or warrants to all holders of its Class A Shares to subscribe for or to purchase
or to otherwise acquire Class A Shares, or other securities or rights convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for Class A
Shares, at a price per share less than the Value of a Class A Share on the record date for such distribution (each a “Distributed
Right”), then, as of the later of the distribution date of such Distributed Rights and the time such Distributed Rights become
exercisable, the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Adjustment Factor in effect as of immediately prior to the later
of the distribution date of such Distributed Rights and the time such Distributed Rights become exercisable, by a fraction (i) the
numerator of which shall be the number of Class A Shares issued and outstanding on the later of such record date and the date such
Distributed Rights become exercisable, plus the maximum number of Class A Shares purchasable under such Distributed Rights
that are exercisable and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of Class A Shares issued and outstanding on the
later of such record date and the date such Distributed Rights become exercisable, plus a fraction (1) the numerator of which
is the maximum number of Class A Shares purchasable under such Distributed Rights that are exercisable, multiplied by the
minimum purchase price per Class A Share under such Distributed Rights that are exercisable and (2) the denominator of which
is the greater of the Value of a Class A Share (A) as of such record date and (B) the date such Distributed Rights become exercisable;
provided, however, that, if any such Distributed Rights expire, are forfeited or become no longer exercisable, then the
Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted, effective retroactive to the date of distribution (or, if later, the time the Distributed Rights
initially became exercisable) of the Distributed Rights, to reflect a reduced maximum number of Class A Shares or any change in
the minimum purchase price for the purposes of the above fraction; and
(c)
the Corporation distributes, by dividend or otherwise, to all holders of its Class A Shares any assets (including securities
and evidences of the Corporation’s indebtedness, but excluding any dividend or distribution referred to in the foregoing clauses (a)
or (b)), which assets were not received by the Corporation or its Controlled Entities pursuant to a distribution by the Company in accordance
with this Agreement, then the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Adjustment Factor
in effect immediately prior to the record date for purposes of determining the holders of Class A Shares entitled to participate in such
distribution (or, if there is no such record date, the number of Class A Shares that are entitled to participate in such distribution)
by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be such Value of one Class A Share on such record date and (ii) the denominator
of which shall be the Value of one Class A Share as of such record date less the then Fair Market Value (as determined by the Corporation,
whose determination shall be conclusive) of the portion of the non-cash assets so distributed applicable to one Class A Share;
provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the
events in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above occur, no adjustments to the Adjustment Factor will be made for any class or series of Membership
Interests to the extent that the Company makes or effects a correlative distribution or payment to all of the Members holding Membership
Interests of such class or series, or effects a correlative split, subdivision, reverse split or combination in respect of the Membership
Interests of such class or series. If the Corporation effects a dividend that allows holders of Class A Shares to elect to receive
cash or additional Class A Shares, the Company may effect a correlative distribution by distributing to all Members holding Membership
Interests a combination of cash and additional Membership Interests in the same ratio as the ratio of cash and Class A Shares paid
and issued by the Corporation, without offering Members an opportunity to elect to receive cash or additional Membership Interests. Any
adjustment to the Adjustment Factor shall become effective immediately after the event expressly giving rise to such adjustment. For illustrative
purposes only, examples of adjustments to the Adjustment Factor are set forth on Exhibit A.
“Affiliate” means, with
respect to any Person, any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under common control with such Person; provided
that, for the purposes of this definition, “control” when used with respect to any Person means the possession,
directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether through
the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise, and the terms “controlling” and
“controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing, provided, however, that (a) no member of
the Parent Corporation Group shall be considered an Affiliate of any Non-Corporation Member for purposes hereof, (b) ARYA Sponsor
(or any successor in interest to its rights under the Director Nomination Agreement) shall not be considered an Affiliate of the
Parent Corporation Group and (c) no Non-Corporation Member shall be deemed to be an Affiliate of Amber for purposes of Section
7.4 from and after the time that it ceases to be a Controlled Entity of Amber (including as a result of a “spin out”
or similar transaction or series of related transactions).

of such Capital Shares as to the Class A Shares and the other classes and series of Capital Shares as such Equivalent Units would have
as to Common Units and the other classes and series of Units corresponding to the other classes of Capital Shares, but not as to matters

the Fair Market Value of such asset at the time of such distribution, and (c) the Gross Asset Values of all Company assets shall be
adjusted to equal their respective gross Fair Market Value, in accordance with the rules set forth in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)
of the Regulations, except as otherwise provided herein, immediately prior to: (i) the date of the acquisition of any additional

that such adjustments are necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Members. In the case of any
asset that has a Gross Asset Value determined pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iv) or (v), Depreciation shall be
computed based on the asset’s Gross Asset Value as so determined, and not on the asset’s adjusted tax basis.
“Incapacity” or “Incapacitated”
means:

with respect to any Member who is an individual, the death or total physical disability of such Member or the entry by a court
of competent jurisdiction adjudicating such Member incompetent to manage his or her person or his or her estate;

Article III
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS

Capital Contributions. Each of Amber GT and the Corporation shall, upon its execution and delivery hereof, be admitted as
a Member as of the Closing Date. As of the Closing Date, the Members have made Capital Contributions to the Company in the amounts set
forth on Schedule I (as in effect as of the date hereof).
Section 3.2
Membership Interests.
(a)
Subject to Section 3.2(c), the Company is authorized to issue one (1) class of Membership Interests: Common Units,
each of which shall be identical. The name and address of, and the class and number of Membership Interests held by, each Member from
time to time shall be as set forth on Schedule I. Following the Closing Date, the Company shall amend Schedule I,
without any further action by the Board of Managers or the Members, to reflect changes in the information intended to be reflected therein
that occur pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Agreement (provided that the Company shall have no obligation to amend Schedule I
to reflect any such change in respect of any Assignee unless and to the extent that the Company receives written notice from the Transferring
Member or any such Assignee with respect to such change). To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) except due to any failure
by the Company to amend Schedule I as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, Schedule I shall be the definitive
record of the outstanding Membership Interests, the ownership of each outstanding Membership Interest and all relevant information with
respect to each Member and each Assignee, (ii) any reference herein to Schedule I shall be deemed a reference to Schedule I,
as amended and as in effect from time to time, and (iii) except due to any failure by the Company to amend Schedule I as provided in the
immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a Person registered on Schedule I
as the owner of the outstanding Membership Interests shown thereon for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable
or other claim to or interest in Membership Interests on the part of any other Person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice
thereof.
(b)
Initially, the Common Units will be uncertificated. If the Board of Managers determines that it is in the interest of the Company
to issue certificates representing the Common Units, certificates will be issued and the Common Units will be represented by those certificates,
and this Agreement shall be amended as the Board of Managers shall determine is necessary to reflect the issuance of certificated Common
Units. Nothing contained in this Section 3.2(b) shall be deemed to authorize or permit any Member to Transfer its Common Units
except as otherwise permitted hereunder.
(c) Without
the Consent of any Member but subject to Section 3.2(d) and Section 3.4, the Board of Managers may cause the Company to
issue to any Person, and to admit any such Person that is not a Member as an Additional Member, and for such consideration and on such
terms and conditions as shall be established by the Board of Managers, additional Membership Interests in one (1) or more classes, or
one (1) or more series of any of such classes, with such designations, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions,
rights to distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions (including rights that may be senior or otherwise entitled to preference
over existing Membership Interests) as shall be determined by the Board of Managers and either set forth in a written document thereafter
attached to and made an exhibit hereto, which exhibit shall be an amendment hereto and shall be incorporated herein by this reference,
or by amending and restating this Agreement to give effect to such classes or series of Membership Interests (each, a “Membership
Interest Designation”); provided, however, that, if there are any Non-Corporation Members at such time, without
the prior Consent of a Majority in Interest of the Non-Corporation Members, no such new class or series of Membership Interests shall
deprive such Non-Corporation Members of, or dilute or reduce, the pro rata share of all Membership Interests such Non-Corporation Members
would have received or to which they would have been entitled if such new class or series of Membership Interests had not been created,
except to the extent that the Company actually receives cash or other property or assets with a Fair Market Value (net of fees and expenses
incurred in connection with such issuance) in an aggregate amount, equal to the pro rata share of Membership Interests allocated to such
new class or series of Membership Interests and the number thereof issued by the Company, in each case, as determined by the Board of
Managers; provided, that this proviso shall not apply to a new class or series of Membership Interests that will be issued only
to Persons providing services to the Parent Corporation Group, the Company or any of their Controlled Entities and that are intended
to be classified as “profits interests” pursuant to IRS Revenue Procedure 93-27 or any other new class or series of Membership
Interests issued to the Parent Corporation Group in respect of any equity securities of the Parent Corporation Group issued under any
Equity Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, the Board of Managers is expressly authorized to cause the Company to issue Membership Interests
(i) upon the conversion, redemption or exchange of any Debt, Membership Interests or other securities issued by the Company, (ii) for
less than Fair Market Value, (iii) in connection with any merger of any other Person into the Company or any similar transaction or (iv)
upon the contribution of property or assets to the Company.
(d)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not issue Membership Interests to any member of the Parent Corporation
Group, except in connection with any of the following:
(i) subject
to any Membership Interest Designation, the issuance of Membership Interests to all Members then holding Common Units, pro rata in accordance
with their respective Percentage Interests;
(ii)
the issuance of (A) Common Units in connection with a corresponding issuance of Class A Shares or (B) Equivalent Units (other than
Common Units) issued in connection with an issuance of Capital Shares or New Securities;
(iii)
the issuance of Common Units or other Membership Interests in accordance with Section 3.5, Section 3.6
or Section 3.8; or
(iv) the issuance of Membership Interests upon the conversion, redemption or exchange of Debt, Membership Interests or other securities
issued by the Company to such member of the Parent Corporation Group.
(e)
Except as expressly provided herein or in any Membership Interest Designation, no Person, including any Member, shall have any
preemptive, preferential, participation or similar right or rights to subscribe for or acquire any Membership Interest.
Section 3.3 Capital
Contributions of, or Loans by, the Members. Other than in connection with the issuance of additional Membership Interests to any
Member and except as otherwise provided by applicable Law, the Members shall have no obligation or, except with the prior written consent
of the Board of Managers, right to make any other Capital Contributions or any loans to the Company; provided that any such loan
to the Company shall not be considered a Capital Contribution. No Member shall be entitled to withdraw any part of such Member’s
Capital Contribution or Capital Account or, except as expressly provided herein, to receive any distribution from the Company.
Section 3.4
Common Unit to Class A Share Ratio.
(a)
The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Agreement intends to maintain at all times a one (1)-to-one (1) ratio between
(i) the number of outstanding Common Units owned by members of the Parent Corporation Group (in the aggregate) and (ii) the number of
outstanding Class A Shares.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein and without the Consent of any other Member, if the Corporation effects a reclassification, subdivision,
combination or cancellation of the outstanding Class A Shares (including a subdivision effected by the Corporation declaring and paying
a dividend of Class A Shares on outstanding Class A Shares), the number of outstanding Common Units shall automatically be reclassified,
subdivided, combined or cancelled in the same manner such that, after giving effect to such reclassification, subdivision, combination
or cancellation, the number of outstanding Common Units owned by the members of the Parent Corporation Group shall equal, on a one (1)-for-one
(1) basis, the number of outstanding Class A Shares.
(c) The
Company shall not undertake any subdivision (by any Common Unit split, Common Unit distribution, reclassification, recapitalization or
similar event) or combination (by reverse Common Unit split, reclassification, recapitalization or similar event) of outstanding Common
Units owned by any member of the Parent Corporation Group that is not accompanied by an correlative reclassification, subdivision, combination
or cancellation of outstanding Class A Shares in order to maintain at all times a one (1)-to-one (1) ratio between (i) the number of
Common Units owned by members of the Parent Corporation Group (in the aggregate) and (ii) the number of outstanding Class A Shares, unless
such reclassification, subdivision, combination or cancellation is necessary to maintain at all times a one (1)-to-one (1) ratio between
the number of Common Units owned by members of the Parent Corporation Group (in the aggregate) and the number of outstanding Class A
Shares.
(d)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and without the Consent of any other Member, if at any time, any Class A Shares
are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation then, immediately prior to such redemption, repurchase or acquisition
of Class A Shares, the Company shall redeem a number of Common Units held by the Corporation equal to the quotient of (i) the number
of Class A Shares so redeemed, repurchased or acquired, divided by (ii) the Adjustment Factor then in effect, such redemption,
repurchase or acquisition to be (A) for the same price per Common Unit (after giving effect to application of the Adjustment Factor) as
such Class A Shares are redeemed, repurchased or acquired and (B) on substantially similar terms, in the aggregate, as the redemption,
repurchase or acquisition of such Class A Shares, unless, in the case of this clause (B), as determined by the Board of Managers.
(e) The
Corporation shall not issue any additional Common Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities unless the Corporation contributes the net
cash proceeds or other net consideration received (for the avoidance of doubt, after taking into account or otherwise deducting for any
Discounts) from the issuance of such additional Common Shares or Capital Shares, or in the case of New Securities, the exercise or settlement
thereof (as the case may be) as a Capital Contribution and in exchange for (i) in the case of an issuance of Class A Shares, a number
of Common Units equal to the quotient of (1) the number of such issued Class A Shares, divided by (2) the Adjustment Factor then
in effect and (ii) in the case of an issuance of Capital Shares or New Securities, a number of Equivalent Units that correspond to the
class or series of such issued Capital Shares or New Securities; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Corporation may issue Common Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities (1) pursuant to Section 3.5, Section 3.6,
Section 4.2(b) or Section 13.1(b), (2) pursuant to a dividend or distribution (including any stock split) of
Common Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities to all of the holders of the applicable class or series of Common Shares, Capital Shares
or New Securities (as the case may be), (3) upon a conversion, redemption, exchange or exercise of Capital Shares or of New Securities
or (4) in connection with an acquisition of Common Units or a property or other asset to be owned, directly or indirectly, by a member
of the Parent Corporation Group, in each case, solely to the extent permitted hereby and in accordance herewith.
Section 3.5
Equity Plans.
(a)
Stock Options Granted to Persons other than Company Employees. If at any time or from time to time, in connection with any
Equity Plan, an option to purchase Class A Shares granted to a Person other than a Company Employee is duly exercised, the following
events will be deemed to have occurred:
(i) as
soon as practicable after such exercise, the Corporation shall make a Capital Contribution to the Company in an amount equal to the net
exercise price received by the Corporation from such exercising party in connection with the exercise of such stock option;
(ii)
notwithstanding the amount of the Capital Contribution actually made pursuant to Section 3.5(a)(i), the Corporation
shall be deemed to have contributed to the Company as a Capital Contribution an amount equal to the Value of a Class A Share as of
the date of exercise, multiplied by the number of Class A Shares issued in connection with the exercise of such stock option;
and
(iii)
in exchange for such Capital Contribution, the Company shall issue a number of Common Units to the Corporation equal to the quotient
of (1) the number of Class A Shares issued in connection with the exercise of such stock option, divided by (2) the
Adjustment Factor then in effect.
(b)
Stock Options Granted to Company Employees. If at any time or from time to time, in connection with any Equity Plan, an
option to purchase Class A Shares granted to a Company Employee is duly exercised, the following events will be deemed to have occurred:
(i) the
Corporation shall sell to the Company, and the Company shall purchase from the Corporation, the number of Class A Shares as to which
such stock option is being exercised, with the purchase price per Class A Share for such sale of Class A Shares to the Company
being the Value of a Class A Share as of the date of exercise of such stock option;
(ii) the
Company shall sell to the Optionee (or if the Optionee is an employee of a Controlled Entity of the Company, the Company shall sell to
such Controlled Entity, which in turn shall sell to the Optionee), for a cash price per share equal to the Value of a Class A Share as
of the date of exercise, the number of Class A Shares so exercised equal to (1) the exercise price paid to the Corporation by the exercising
party in connection with the exercise of such stock option divided by (2) the Value of a Class A Share at the time of such exercise;
(iii)
the Company shall transfer to the Optionee (or if the Optionee is an employee of a Controlled Entity of the Company, the Company
shall transfer to such Controlled Entity, which in turn shall transfer to the Optionee) at no additional cost, as additional compensation,
the number of Class A Shares equal to the number of Class A Shares described in Section 3.5(b)(i) less the number of Class
A Shares described in Section 3.5(b)(ii);
(iv)
as soon as practicable after such exercise, the Corporation shall make a Capital Contribution to the Company of an amount equal
to all net proceeds received (from whatever source, but excluding any payment in respect of payroll taxes or other withholdings) by the
Corporation in connection with the exercise of such stock option; and
(v)
in exchange for such Capital Contribution, the Company shall issue a number of Common Units to the Corporation equal to the quotient
of (1) the number of Class A Shares issued in connection with the exercise of such stock option, divided by (2) the Adjustment
Factor then in effect.
(c)
Other Class A Shares Issued to Company Employees Under Equity Plans. If at any time or from time to time, in connection
with any Equity Plan (other than in respect of the exercise of a stock option), any Class A Shares are issued to a Company Employee (including
any Class A Shares that are subject to forfeiture in the event specified vesting conditions are not achieved and any Class A Shares issued
in settlement of a restricted stock unit or similar award) in consideration for services performed for the Company or a Controlled Entity
of the Company:

the Corporation shall issue such number of Class A Shares as are to be issued to the Company Employee in accordance with the Equity
Plan;
(ii)
the following events will be deemed to have occurred: (1) the Corporation shall be deemed to have sold such shares to the Company
(or if the Company Employee is an employee of a Controlled Entity of the Company, to such Controlled Entity) for a purchase price equal
to the Value of such shares, (2) the Company (or such Controlled Entity) shall be deemed to have delivered the shares to the Company Employee,
(3) the Corporation shall be deemed to have contributed the purchase price to the Company as a Capital Contribution, and (4) in the case
where the Company Employee is an employee of a Controlled Entity of the Company, the Company shall be deemed to have contributed such
amount to the capital of such Controlled Entity;
(iii) the
Company shall issue to the Corporation a number of Common Units equal to the number of newly issued Class A Shares divided by
the Adjustment Factor then in effect in consideration for the deemed Capital Contribution described in Section 3.5(c)(ii)(3);
and
(iv)
to the extent such Class A Shares were issued to a Person subject to vesting or forfeiture in the event that the vesting conditions
are not achieved or are incapable of being achieved or such Class A Shares are forfeited or otherwise repurchased for no consideration
by the Parent Corporation Group, as applicable, the actions described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall be reversed.

other than a Company Employee (including any Class A Shares that are subject to forfeiture in the event specified vesting conditions
are not achieved or are incapable of being achieved and any Class A Shares issued in settlement of a restricted stock unit or
similar award) in consideration for services performed for the Corporation, the Company or any Affiliates of any of the foregoing,
the following events will be deemed to occur:

to the extent such Class A Shares were issued to a Person subject to vesting or forfeiture in the event that the vesting conditions
are not achieved or are incapable of being achieved or such Class A Shares are forfeited or otherwise repurchased for no consideration
by the Parent Corporation Group, as applicable, the actions described in clauses (i) and (ii) shall be reversed; and
(e)

other member of the Parent Corporation Group from adopting, modifying or terminating any stock or equity incentive plan for the benefit
of employees, officers, directors of or other service providers to the Corporation, the Company or any of their Affiliates. The Members
acknowledge and agree that, in the event that any such plan is adopted, modified or terminated by the Corporation, the Board of Managers
shall have the power, without the Consent of the Members or any further act of the Members, to amend this Section 3.5 as it
deems necessary or advisable to implement the terms and conditions of any such plan.

be utilized by the Corporation to effect open market purchases of Class A Shares or (b) if the Corporation elects instead to issue
new Class A Shares with respect to such amounts, shall be contributed to the capital of the Company in exchange for a number of additional
Common Units equal to the number of newly issued Class A Shares divided by the Adjustment Factor then in effect.
Section 3.7 No
Interest; No Return. No Member shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contribution or on such Member’s Capital
Account. Except as provided herein or by law, no Member shall have any right to demand or receive the return of its Capital
Contribution from the Company.
Section 3.8
Conversion or Redemption of Class A Shares or Capital Shares.
(a)
If, at any time, any Capital Shares are converted into Class A Shares, in whole or in part, then an equal number of Equivalent
Units held by the applicable member of the Parent Corporation Group that correspond to the class or series of Capital Shares so converted
shall automatically be converted or exchanged into a number of Common Units equal to the quotient of (i) the number of Class A Shares
issued upon such conversion, divided by (ii) the Adjustment Factor then in effect.
(b)
If, at any time, any Capital Shares are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired (whether by exercise of a put or call, automatically
or by means of another arrangement) by the Corporation for cash, then, immediately prior to such redemption, repurchase or acquisition
of Capital Shares, the Company shall redeem an equal number of Equivalent Units held by the Corporation that correspond to the class or
series of Capital Shares so redeemed, repurchased or acquired (A) for the same price per Equivalent Unit (after giving effect to
application of any adjustment factor thereof set forth in a Membership Interest Designation) as such Capital Shares are redeemed, repurchased
or acquired and (B) on substantially similar terms, in the aggregate, as the redemption, repurchase or acquisition of such Capital
Shares, unless, in the case of this clause (B), as determined by the Board of Managers.
If, at any time, any Class A Shares are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise
acquired by the Corporation (whether upon forfeiture of any award granted under any Equity Plan, automatically or by means of another
arrangement), then, immediately prior to such redemption, repurchase or acquisition of Class A Shares, the Company shall redeem a number
of Common Units held by the Corporation equal to the quotient of (i) the number of Class A Shares so redeemed, repurchased or acquired,
divided by (ii) the Adjustment Factor then in effect, such redemption, repurchase or acquisition to be (A) for the same price
per Common Unit (after giving effect to application of the Adjustment Factor) as such Class A Shares are redeemed, repurchased or acquired
and (B) on substantially similar terms, in the aggregate, as the redemption, repurchase or acquisition of such Class A Shares, unless,
in the case of this clause (B), as determined by the Board of Managers.
Section 3.9 Capital
Accounts. A separate capital account (a “Capital
Account”) shall be established and maintained for each Member in accordance with the
requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Each Member’s Capital Account (a) shall be increased by (i)
the amount of money contributed by such Member to the Company, (ii) the initial Fair Market Value of property contributed by such
Member to the Company (net of liabilities secured by the contributed property that the Company is considered to assume or take
subject to under Code Section 752) and (iii) allocations to such Member of Net Profits pursuant to Section 6.1 and any
other items of income or gain allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 6.2 and (b) shall be decreased by (i) the

by the Company (net of liabilities secured by the distributed property that such Member is considered to assume or take subject to
under Code Section 752), and (iii) allocations to such Member of Net Losses pursuant to Section 6.1
and any other items of loss or deduction allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 6.2.
Article IV
DISTRIBUTIONS
Section 4.1 Requirement
and Characterization of Distributions. Subject to, for the avoidance of doubt, the terms of any Membership Interest Designation,
distributions shall be made at such times and in such amounts as the Board of Managers may determine to the Members in accordance with
their respective Percentage Interests on such Company Record Date. The Corporation shall not distribute any amounts in respect of Class
A Shares or Capital Shares in excess of the Corporation’s share of distributions from the Company without the Consent of a Majority
in Interest of the Non-Corporation Members.
Section 4.2
Tax Distributions.
(a) To
enable the Members (or their direct or indirect beneficial owners) to pay taxes on income of the Company or its Subsidiaries that is
taxable to the Members (or such owners), the Company shall, at the Board of Manager’s discretion, make, to the extent that
funds are legally available therefor and would not be prohibited under any credit facility to which the Company or any Subsidiary
thereof is a party, cash distributions to the Members, during each Fiscal Year, pro rata among the Members based on their Percentage
Interests (each, a “Tax Distribution”), in an aggregate amount equal to
the greater of (i) the minimum amount necessary so that the Parent Corporation Group receives, in the aggregate, at least an amount
equal to its Assumed Tax Liability for the Fiscal Year or (ii) the minimum amount necessary so that each Non-Corporation Member
receives at least an amount equal to the product of (1) the highest aggregate rate of federal, state, and local income tax imposed
on any Member with respect to the Company’s income for that Fiscal Year (taking into account the deductibility of state and
local income taxes for federal income tax purposes), multiplied by (2) the amount of the taxable income of the Company
allocated to such Non-Corporation Member for that Fiscal Year (including income includible with respect to the Company or any of the
Company’s Subsidiaries by such Member or any of its direct or indirect beneficial owners by reason of Section 951, 951A or 956
of the Code or otherwise pursuant to subpart F of Part III of the Code, but excluding income recognized by such Non-Corporation
Member (or any of its direct or indirect beneficial owners) with respect to the issuance or vesting of such Member’s Units).
Tax Distributions shall be paid at least quarterly during each Fiscal Year at times that coincide with the corporate Members’
payment of estimated taxes, and the amount of each distribution shall be based upon the anticipated taxable income of the Company
for the Fiscal Year of the distribution and the anticipated amount of payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for the Fiscal
Year of the distribution. For purposes of determining whether sufficient Tax Distributions have been made pursuant to this Section 4.2
with respect to a Fiscal Year, all distributions made by the Company with respect to such Fiscal Year shall be treated as Tax
Distributions until the full amount of Tax Distributions is paid with respect to such Fiscal Year.
(b)
To the extent any Tax Distribution to a member of the Parent Corporation Group is not ultimately used by the Parent Corporation
Group to pay a Tax liability (or to the extent used by the Parent Corporation Group to pay a Tax liability but ultimately refunded to
the Parent Corporation Group by the applicable taxing authority) or to make a payment under the Tax Receivable Agreement, such member
of the Parent Corporation Group may, in its sole discretion, elect to (i) distribute such excess cash amounts to the Corporation (as applicable)
to be distributed by the Corporation to the shareholders of the Corporation, (ii) contribute such excess cash amounts to the Company in
exchange for a number of Common Units or other equity securities of the Company on a value-for-value basis, and cause the Corporation
to distribute Class A Shares to the holders of Class A Shares (if the Company issues Common Units to such member of the Parent Corporation
Group) or such other equity securities of the Corporation (if the Company issues equity securities of the Company other than Common Units)
corresponding to the equity securities issued by the Company and with substantially the same rights to dividends and distributions, or
(iii) retain such excess cash amount. Notwithstanding clause (a) of the definition of Adjustment Factor, no adjustment shall be made
to the Adjustment Factor solely by reason of a distribution by the Corporation of Class A Shares or other equity securities made pursuant
to this Section 4.2(b)
Section 4.3
Distributions in Kind. No Member may demand to receive property in connection with any distribution or other payment in
respect of Membership Interests, except, in the case of the Non-Corporation Members, in the circumstances provided in, and otherwise on
the terms and subject to the conditions of, Article XIII. The Board of Managers may cause the Company to make a distribution
in kind of the Company’s assets to the Members, and such assets shall be distributed to the Members in such a fashion as to ensure
that the Fair Market Value is distributed and allocated in accordance with Article IV and Article V. If the Company distributes
property in kind that was contributed to the Company by a Member (or deemed contributed by a Member, for tax purposes, or received in
a tax-deferred exchange for property contributed or so deemed contributed to the Company by a Member), the Company shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause such property to be distributed to the Member who contributed such property (or was deemed to contribute such
property), to the extent that such Member is otherwise entitled to receive such a distribution at such time, in accordance with the immediately
foregoing sentence and the other provisions herein.
Section 4.4
Distributions upon Liquidation. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article IV, upon the occurrence
of a Liquidating Event, the assets of the Company shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 12.3.
Section 4.5 Distributions
to Reflect Additional Membership Interests. If the Company issues additional Membership Interests pursuant to the provisions of Article III,
subject to the rights of any Member set forth in a Membership Interest Designation, the Board of Managers is hereby authorized to
make such revisions to this Article IV and to Article V as it determines are necessary or desirable to
reflect the issuance of such additional Membership Interests, including making preferential distributions to certain classes of
Membership Interests.
Section 4.6
Restricted Distributions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Company nor the Board of Managers,
on behalf of the Company, shall make a distribution to any Member if such distribution would violate applicable Law.
Section 4.7
Rounding. All distributions payable under this Article IV shall be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half
cent rounded downward.
Section 4.8 Special
Distributions to Facilitate Acquisitions. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, the Board of Managers
shall be permitted to cause a distribution, loan or other transfer of cash by the Company or one or more of its Controlled Entities
to be made solely to one or more member(s) of the Parent Corporation Group (such distribution, loan or other transfer satisfying the
following proviso, an “M&A Distribution”), provided, however that
(a) each such distribution, loan or other transfer is (i) made at or following such time as the Board of Managers reasonably
determines that a specific transaction or series of transactions providing for the direct or indirect acquisition or similar
transaction of any entity, business(es), assets, properties or rights (whether by merger, consolidation, recapitalization, sale,
transfer or license of assets, properties or rights, purchase or issuance of equity securities, tender offer or otherwise) (an
“M&A Event”) is reasonably likely to be consummated by the applicable member of the Parent Corporation Group
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, at any time at or after the signing of any definitive transaction agreement) and (ii) used
solely to facilitate the consummation of such M&A Event or otherwise in connection with such M&A Event (including for the
purpose of paying any consideration (whether at the closing thereof or otherwise (including any contingent or deferred consideration
paid or payable following the closing thereof)) , and (b) the applicable member of the Parent Corporation Group (i) contributes (in
the case of an M&A Distribution that was a distribution), (ii) transfers in repayment of the applicable M&A Distribution
that was a loan (with any interest accrued thereon for the benefit of the Company) or (iii) sells solely in exchange for the
applicable previously made M&A Distribution that was not a distribution or a loan, or causes to be contributed (in the case of
an M&A Distribution that was a distribution), transferred in repayment of the applicable M&A Distribution that was a loan,
or sold solely in exchange for the applicable previously made M&A Distribution that was not a distribution or a loan, as soon as
practicable thereafter, to the Company or the applicable Controlled Entities of the Company, the entity, business(es), assets,
properties or rights directly or indirectly acquired with such distribution, loan or other transfer, as directed by the Board of
Managers. If the M&A Distribution is not used solely to facilitate the consummation of or otherwise in connection with such
M&A Event in accordance with the foregoing clause (a) within the time specified therefor by the Board of Managers, the
applicable member of the Parent Corporation Group will contribute (in the case of an M&A Distribution that was a distribution),
transfer in repayment of the applicable M&A Distribution that was a loan, or retransfer (in the case of an M&A Distribution
that was not a distribution or a loan) the amount of such M&A Distribution unspent or not otherwise utilized in connection with
such M&A Event and, in the case of an M&A Distribution that was a loan, any interest accrued on the amount being transferred
to the Company pursuant to this sentence to the Company or the applicable Controlled Entities of the Company at or prior to 5:00 pm
New York time on the applicable date. During any time period between the time of the M&A Distribution and the contribution,
repayment or sale contemplated by the foregoing clause (b) of the immediately foregoing sentence, the applicable member of the
Parent Corporation Group shall hold such cash, and operate any acquired assets, properties or rights, for the benefit of the Company
or the applicable Controlled Entity thereof. The number of Common Units held the Members shall not change as a result of any M&A
Distribution or the re-contribution, repayment or retransfer of such M&A Distribution (together with any interest accrued
thereon) or contribution, repayment or sale of any assets directly or indirectly acquired with such M&A Distribution, in each
case as described in this Section 4.8. For the avoidance of doubt, neither an M&A Distribution nor the
re-contribution, repayment or retransfer of such M&A Distribution (together with any interest accrued thereon) or contribution,
repayment or sale of any entity, business(es), assets, properties or rights directly or indirectly acquired with such M&A
Distribution shall have any effect on the Adjustment Factor or any other distribution or payment contemplated by this Agreement. For
purposes of all computations required hereunder, the amount of any M&A Distribution that has not been repaid to the Company or
the applicable Controlled Entities of the Company (including, to the extent an acquisition has been consummated with the proceeds of
such M&A Distribution but the assets so acquired have not yet been contributed, repaid or sold to the Company or the applicable
Controlled Entities of the Company as required hereby, the value of the assets so acquired) shall be treated as an asset owned by
the Company or the applicable Controlled Entities of the Company and not by the applicable member of the Parent Corporation Group.
For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that any fees, costs or expenses are incurred or otherwise payable by the Parent
Corporation Group in connection with or related to the evaluation, negotiation, performance or execution or consummation of an
M&A Event described in this Section 4.8, such fees, costs and expenses will be subject to the payment and
reimbursement provisions in Section 6.2(b).
Article V
ALLOCATIONS
Section 5.1 Allocations
of Net Profits and Net Loss of the Company. Subject to Section 5.2 and Section 5.3, the Net Profits and
Net Losses of the Company for each Fiscal Year or other applicable period, and in the event of a liquidation or dissolution of the
Company, shall be allocated among the Members in a manner such that the Capital Account of each such Member, immediately after
giving effect to such allocation, is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to the amount of the distributions that would
be made to such Member during such Fiscal Year or other applicable period if (a) the Company were dissolved and terminated; (b) its
affairs were wound up and each Company asset was sold for cash equal to its Gross Asset Value; (c) all Company liabilities were
satisfied (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Gross Asset Value of the assets securing such liability); and
(d) the net assets of the Company were distributed in accordance with Section 12.3 to such Members immediately after
giving effect to such allocation, minus such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Minimum Gain, computed
immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of the Company’s assets.
Section 5.2
Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order prior to any allocations under
Section 5.1:
(a)
Company Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding any other
provision of this Article V, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Member shall
be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount
equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations section 1.704-2(g).
Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each
Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and
1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.2(a) is intended to comply with the partnership minimum gain chargeback requirement in
Regulations section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted and applied consistently therewith.
(b)
Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations section 1.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding any other
provision of this Article V if there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during
any Fiscal Year, any Member with a share of that Member Minimum Gain attributable to such a Member Nonrecourse Debt (as determined under
Regulations section 1.704-2(i)(5)) as of the beginning of the year shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal
Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum
Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in
proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined
in accordance with Regulations sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.2(b) is intended to comply with the
partner minimum gain chargeback requirements in the Regulations and shall be interpreted and applied consistently therewith.
(c)
Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described
in Regulations sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6), items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member
in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly
as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.2(c) shall be made only if and
to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided in this Article V
have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.2(c) were not in this Agreement. This Section 5.2(c) is intended
to comply with the qualified income offset provision in Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted and applied
consistently therewith.
(d)
Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year that is in
excess of the amount that such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations sections
1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in an amount and manner
sufficient to eliminate such deficit as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.2(d)
shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations
provided in this Article V have been tentatively made as if Section 5.2(c) and this Section 5.2(d)
were not herein.
(e)
Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated among the Members pro rata
in accordance with each Member’s relative share of Net Profits or Net Loss, as applicable, for such Fiscal year and each Member’s
share of excess Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated in the same manner.
(f)
Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member
who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable
in accordance with Regulations section 1.752-2. If more than one Member bears the economic risk of loss for a Member Nonrecourse Debt,
any Member Nonrecourse Deductions attributable to that Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated among the Members according to the ratio
in which they bear the economic risk of loss.
(g)
Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to
Sections 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Regulations sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or (4), to be taken into account
in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment
increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated
to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Regulations.
Section 5.3 Curative
Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 5.2(a)–(f) (the “Regulatory
Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that,
to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations
of other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 5.3. Therefore, notwithstanding any other
provision hereof, the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating items of Company income, gain, loss and deduction
among the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to
each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member pursuant to Section 5.1 if
the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.
Section 5.4 Tax
Allocations. The Members shall cause income, gain, loss and deductions (including any depreciation and/or cost recovery deductions)
attributable to property contributed by a Member or revalued by the Company to be allocated among the Members for income tax purposes
in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and Regulations promulgated thereunder using the traditional method as described in Regulations
section 1.704-3(b). The Company shall make curative allocations of the resulting tax gain or loss from the sale or disposition of any
property in a manner that is intended to offset the effect of the cumulative amount of any “ceiling rule limitations” with
respect to allocations of depreciation or amortization deductions in respect of such property in the current and all prior Fiscal Years,
as outlined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(c)(3). Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall be made
in such manner and utilizing such permissible tax elections as reasonably determined by the Board of Managers. Allocations pursuant to
this Section 5.4 are solely for purposes of United States federal, state, and local tax purposes and shall not affect, or
in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of items of income, gain, loss and deduction.
The Members are aware of the tax consequences of the allocations made by this Section 5.4 and agree to be bound by the provisions
of this Section 5.4 in reporting their shares of items of Company income, gain, loss and deduction.
Section 5.5 Compliance
with Section 704(b) of the Code. The allocation provisions contained in this Article V are intended to comply with Section
704(b) of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder, and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith.
Section 5.6 Consent
of Partners. The allocation methods of items of income, gain, loss and deduction contained in this Article V are hereby
expressly consented to by each Member as a condition of becoming a Member.
Section 5.7 Change
in Company Interest. If there is a change in any Member’s Membership Interests during any Fiscal Year, the principles of Section
706(d) of the Code shall apply in allocating Net Profits and Net Loss and items thereof for such Fiscal Year to account for the variation.
For purposes of applying Section 706(d) of the Code, the Board of Managers may adopt any method or convention permitted under applicable
Regulations; provided, that in the event of a Transfer of Common Units solely between a transferor Member and a transferee Member
such transferor Member and transferee Member shall be entitled to determine the allocation method and convention under Section 706(d)
of the Code applicable as between such Members with respect to any and all allocations under Section 706(d) of the Code that affect solely
such transferor Member and transferee Member; provided, further, that to the extent the Company incurs any out-of-pocket
costs or expenses (as reasonably determined by the Company) in connection with administering any method or convention selected by such
Members pursuant to the foregoing proviso that differs from the method or convention otherwise adopted by the Board of Managers pursuant
to this Section 5.7, the transferor Member shall reimburse the Company for such costs and expenses.
Section 5.8 Modification
of Allocations. The allocations set forth in this Article V are intended to comply with certain requirements of the
Regulations. Notwithstanding the other provisions herein (including Section 5.4), the Board of Managers shall be
authorized to make, in its reasonable discretion, appropriate amendments to the allocations of Net Profits and Net Loss (and to
individual items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit) pursuant hereto as are required (a) in order to comply with Section
704 of the Code or applicable Regulations, (b) to allocate properly Net Profits and Net Loss (and individual items of income, gain,
loss, deduction and credit) to those Members who bear the economic burden or benefit associated therewith and/or (c) to otherwise
cause the Members to achieve the economic objectives hereunder, in each case, as reasonably determined by the Board of Managers. If
there are any changes after the date hereof in applicable Tax Law, Regulations or interpretation, or any errors, ambiguities,
inconsistencies or omissions herein with respect to allocations to be made to Capital Accounts which would, individually or in the
aggregate, cause the Members not to achieve in any material respect the economic objectives underlying this Agreement, the Board of
Managers may in its reasonable discretion make appropriate adjustments to such allocations in order to achieve or approximate such
economic objectives.
Article VI
OPERATIONS
Section 6.1
Management.
(a)
Board of Managers.
(i)
All management powers over the business and affairs of the Company shall be exclusively vested in the Board of Managers, and the
Board of Managers shall conduct, direct and exercise full control over all activities of the Company. Each member of the Board of Managers
is referred to herein as a “Manager.” The Managers shall be the “managers”
of the Company for the purposes of the Act. The Board of Managers may (1) act by meetings or written consents pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(iii)
and Section 6.1(a)(iv) and (2) through any Person or Persons to whom authority and duties have been delegated pursuant to Section 6.1(d).
(ii)
The Board of Managers shall at all times consist of the same number of Managers as the Board of Directors and the same individuals
as the Board of Directors. No Member has a right to appoint or elect a Manager to the Board of Managers, except in order to effectuate
the immediately preceding sentence, and each Manager shall serve until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified in the
same, or until his or her earlier removal, resignation, death or disability. Any Manager may only be removed from the Board of Managers
at any time, with or without cause only if such Person is removed from the Board of Directors. A Manager may resign at any time upon
written notice to the Board of Managers, subject to such Manager’s concurrent resignation as a director of the Board of Directors.
(iii)
The Board of Managers may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or without the State of Delaware, or solely by
means of electronic communication in accordance with the Act. Regular meetings of the Board of Managers may be held without notice at
such time and place as shall from time to time be determined by the Board of Managers. At all meetings of the Board of Managers, a majority
of the entire Board of Managers shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Unless a different vote is required by express
provision of an applicable Law or this Agreement, the vote of a majority of Managers present at a meeting at which a quorum is present
shall be the act of the Board of Managers. At any meeting of the Board of Managers, business shall be transacted in such order and manner
as the Board of Managers may from time to time determine. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of Managers, the
directors present thereat may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than
announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.
(iv)
Unless otherwise restricted hereby, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Managers or of
any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the Board of Managers or of such committee, as the case may be,
consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are
filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Managers or committee.
(b)
No Non-Corporation Member or Assignee (other than any officer, director, manager, member, employee, partner, agent, representative
or trustee of the Corporation, the Company or any of their Affiliates, in their capacity as such) shall take part in the operations, management
or control (within the meaning of the Act) of the Company’s business, transact any business in the Company’s name or have
the power to sign documents for or otherwise bind the Company. The transaction of any such business by the Corporation or any officer,
director, manager, member, employee, partner, agent, representative or trustee of the Corporation, the Company or any of their Affiliates,
in their capacity as such, shall not affect, impair or eliminate the limitations on the liability of the Non-Corporation Members or Assignees
hereunder.
(c)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Board of Managers shall
have the power and authority to effectuate the sale, lease, transfer, exchange or other disposition of any, all or substantially all
of the assets, properties or rights of the Company (including the exercise or grant of any conversion, option, privilege or subscription
right or any other right available in connection with any assets at any time held by the Company) or the merger, consolidation, reorganization
or other combination of the Company with or into another entity, all without further act or Consent of the Members or any other Person
(but without, for the avoidance of doubt, limiting the covenants and agreements of the Non-Corporation Members set forth in Section
10.6(b)); provided, however, that nothing herein shall alter in any respect any rights under the Corporation’s
Charter or bylaws or applicable Law of any stockholder of the Corporation to approve or adopt, as applicable, such sale, lease, exchange
or other disposition or a Non-Corporation Member, solely in its capacity as a stockholder of the Corporation, to vote in connection therewith.
(d)
The Board of Managers may also, from time to time, appoint such officers and establish such management and/or advisory boards or
committees of the Company as the Board of Managers deems necessary or advisable, each of which shall have such powers, authority and responsibilities
as are delegated in writing by the Board of Managers from time to time. Each such officer, board or committee member shall serve at the
pleasure of, and may be removed by, the Board of Managers, and any officer of the Company or any of its Controlled Entities, in such officer’s
capacities as such, shall owe to the Corporation, the Company and such Controlled Entity, as applicable, duties of loyalty and due care
of the type owed by the officers of a corporation to such corporation and its stockholders under the Laws of the State of Delaware. The
officers of the Company as of the date hereof shall be the individuals set forth on Schedule II hereto.3
(e)
The Board of Managers may cause the Company to contract and deal with the Corporation or any Affiliate of the Corporation in accordance
with, and subject to, any applicable related party (or similar) policies then in effect.
Section 6.2
Compensation and Reimbursement.
(a)
The Board of Managers shall not receive any fees from the Company for its services in administering the Company, except as otherwise
provided herein.
(b) Subject
to Section 6.2(c), the Company shall be liable for, and shall reimburse the Corporation (or the applicable member of the
Parent Corporation Group), on a monthly basis, or such other basis as the Board of Managers may determine, for all sums expended and
obligations incurred or otherwise payable by the members of the Parent Corporation Group in connection with or related to the
Company’s or any of its Subsidiary’s business or other activities or otherwise in connection with or related to it being
the direct or indirect parent company of the Company, including (i) all fees, costs and expenses relating to or arising out of
the ownership of interests in or management or operation of, or for the benefit of, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, any fees, costs or expenses related to or arising out of an M&A Event, any capital
markets activities or restructuring of the Corporation, the Company or its Subsidiaries or any Action (or settlement)),
(ii) all compensation of officers, directors, employees and other service providers of the members of the Parent Corporation
Group or the Company, including payments under existing or future compensation plans of the members of the Parent Corporation Group
or the Company (including those that may provide for stock units, or phantom stock, pursuant to which employees of the Parent
Corporation Group or the Company will receive payments based upon dividends on or the value of Class A Shares or any Capital
Shares), (iii) all director fees, costs and expenses, (iv) all costs and expenses of the members of the Parent Corporation
Group’s related to or arising out of the maintenance of its corporate status or being a public company, including fees, costs
and expenses related to or arising out of filings with the SEC or any other Authority, reports or other distributions to its
stockholders, capital markets activities or any Action (or settlement thereof), (v) all
other fees, costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Parent Corporation Group, and (vi) fees, costs and expenses incurred
by third-party advisors or representatives to the Parent Corporation Group or any Affiliates thereof in connection with any of the
foregoing. The Members acknowledge that all such fees, costs and expenses are deemed to be for the benefit of the Company. Such
reimbursements shall be made on an after-tax basis (i.e., grossed up basis) and be in addition to any reimbursement of any member of
the Parent Corporation Group as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 6.6.

|
Unless otherwise mutually agreed to by Amber GT Parent and ARYA,
the initial officers will be the Officers (as defined and determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement).
|
(c)
To the extent practicable (as determined by the Board of Managers), the fees, costs and expenses described in this Section 6.2
shall be treated as fees, costs and expenses of the Company and shall be billed directly to and paid by the Company; provided,
however, that notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any such fees, costs and expenses
are not billed directly to and paid by the Company, the Company may direct the Corporation to pay any such fees, costs or expenses with
all or any portion of any proceeds or other consideration (“Directed Proceeds”) received by the Corporation in respect
of (i) the issuance, exercise, or settlement, as applicable, of any Common Shares, Capital Shares, New Securities or stock options or
(ii) any stock incentive or other stock or subscription plan or agreement, in each case, which Directed Proceeds would otherwise be required
to be contributed to the Company pursuant to any provision of this Agreement. In the event that (x) any amount received by the Corporation
with respect to a sale of Class A Shares described in the definition of “Cash Amount” or the issuance of any additional Common
Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities in accordance with Section 3.4(e) is net of any Discounts or (y) the Corporation pays
any fees, costs or expenses with Directed Proceeds pursuant the immediately preceding sentence, (A) the Corporation’s Capital Account
shall be increased by the amount of such Discounts or Directed Proceeds, as applicable and (B) the Company shall be deemed to have paid
the Discounts or the fees, costs or expenses paid with such Directed Proceeds, as applicable. If and to the extent reimbursements to the
Corporation (or the applicable Member of the Parent Corporation Group) by the Company pursuant to this Section 6.2 or pursuant
to Section 6.6 constitute gross income to such Person (as opposed to the repayment of advances made by such Person on behalf of
the Company), the parties intend that such amounts shall be treated as payments described under Section 707 of the Code and shall not
be treated as distributions pursuant to Article IV or otherwise be deemed to be a payment or amounts received in respect of
its Membership Interests (if any).
Section 6.3
Outside Activities.
(a) No
member of the Parent Corporation Group shall, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any business, other than in connection
with or related to (i) the ownership, acquisition or disposition of Membership Interests, (ii) the business or activities
of the Company or its Subsidiaries (including the management or operation thereof), (iii) its operation as a reporting company
with a class (or classes) of securities registered under the Exchange Act, (iv) the offering, sale, syndication, private
placement or public offering of stock, bonds, securities or other interests, (v) financing or refinancing of any type related
to the Company or its assets or activities and (vi) such activities as are incidental or ancillary to any of the foregoing or
typical for entities of the nature and type of the entities comprising the Parent Corporation Group; provided, however,
a member of the Parent Corporation Group may, in its sole and absolute discretion, from time to time hold or acquire entities,
businesses, assets, properties or rights (whether by merger, consolidation, recapitalization, sale, transfer or license of assets,
properties or rights) in its own name or otherwise other than through the Company so long as the members of the Parent Corporation
Group take commercially reasonable measures to ensure that the economic benefits and burdens of such assets are otherwise vested in
the Company, whether through assignment, mortgage loan or otherwise or, if it is not commercially reasonable to vest such economic
interests in the Company, the Members shall negotiate in good faith to amend the provisions hereof, including the definition of
“Adjustment Factor,” to reflect such activities and the direct ownership of assets by the applicable member of the
Parent Corporation Group. The members of the Parent Corporation Group and any of their respective Affiliates may acquire Membership
Interests and shall be entitled to exercise all rights of a Member relating to such Membership Interests.
(b) Subject
to (i) any agreements entered into by a Non-Corporation Member, any of its Affiliates or any officer, director, employee, agent,
trustee, Affiliate or stockholder of any of the foregoing with any member of the Parent Corporation Group, the Company or any
Controlled Entity thereof (including any employment or similar agreement or arrangement) and (ii) the duties and obligations of any
individual in his or her capacity as an officer or director of any member of the Parent Corporation Group, the Company or any
Controlled Entity thereof (clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, “Non-Corporation Member Duties”),
any Non-Corporation Member, officer, director, employee, agent, trustee, Affiliate, member or stockholder of any Non-Corporation
Member, shall be entitled to and may engage, invest or otherwise have an interest in any other business, activity or opportunity of
any nature, independently or with others, including any business engagement, investment or interest that is in direct or indirect
competition with the Company or enhanced by the activities of the Company. Neither the Company nor any Non-Corporation Member shall
have any rights by virtue hereof in any business ventures of any Non-Corporation Member or Assignee. Subject to such agreements and
the foregoing, none of the Non-Corporation Members nor any other Person shall have any rights by virtue hereof or the relationship
established hereby in any business ventures of any other Person (other than any member of the Parent Corporation Group, to the
extent expressly provided herein), and such Person shall have no obligation pursuant hereto, subject to any Non-Corporation Member
Duties, to offer any interest in any such business ventures to the Company, any Non-Corporation Member, or any such other Person,
even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Company, any Non-Corporation Member or such other Person, could
be taken by such Person. No amendment or repeal of this Section 6.3(b) shall apply to or have any effect on the
liability or alleged liability of any Member for or with respect to any opportunities of which any such Member becomes aware prior
to such amendment or repeal. Any Person purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any Membership Interests shall be deemed
to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Section 6.3(b).
Section 6.4
Duties; Limitation of Liability of the Board of Managers.
(a)
The Board of Managers shall owe the same fiduciary duties to the Company as the fiduciary duties the Board of Directors owes to
the Corporation under Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) (it being
understood and agreed, for the avoidance of doubt, that for purposes of applying these duties to the Company the Board of Managers shall
be entitled to take into account, among other things, the interests of stockholders of the Corporation).
(b)
Without limiting any of the Board of Managers’ covenants or agreements hereunder or any of the duties any Manager may owe
to the stockholders of the Corporation under applicable Law, (i) no Manager, acting in their capacity as such, shall have any duties directly
to any Member and (ii) no Manager, acting in their capacity as such, shall be directly liable to the Company for money damages by reason
of their service as such.
(c)
In performing its duties hereunder and under applicable Law, the Board of Managers shall be entitled to rely on the provisions
hereof and on any information, opinion, report or statement, including any financial statement or other financial data or the records
or books of account of the Company or any Controlled Entity of the Company, prepared or presented by an officer, employee or agent of
the Company or any such Controlled Entity, or by a lawyer, certified public accountant, appraiser or other Person engaged by the Company
as to any matter within such Person’s professional or expert competence, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon
any such information, opinion, report or statement as to matters that the Board of Managers reasonably believes to be within such Person’s
professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such
opinion. The Board of Managers may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it in good faith
to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.
(d)
Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.4 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall
not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of the Managers under this Section 6.4, as in effect immediately prior
to such amendment, modification or repeal, with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part,
prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.
Section 6.5
No Fiduciary Duties of the Members.
(a)
To the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, no Member, in their capacity as such, (such Persons, the “No-Duty
Persons”) shall owe any fiduciary duty to any Covered Person, the Company, or any of their respective Representatives
or any other Person. This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any fiduciary duty on any No-Duty Person, and any
such fiduciary duty that would otherwise apply under applicable Law is hereby eliminated to the fullest extent permitted under applicable
Law. Furthermore, each of the Members and the Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Law, any and all fiduciary duties (including any fiduciary duty related to or associated with self-dealing, corporate or business
opportunities or otherwise) of any No-Duty Person that, absent such waiver, would otherwise apply under applicable Law and, in doing so,
acknowledges and agrees that the only duties and obligation of each No-Duty Person, in its capacity as a Member, to each other Covered
Person, the Company, any of their respective Representatives or any other Person are as expressly set forth herein or under applicable
Law.
(b)
To the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, whenever a No-Duty Person is permitted or required to make a decision or
take an action or omit to do any of the foregoing (i) in its “sole discretion” or “discretion” or under a similar
grant of authority or latitude or without an express standard of behavior (including standards such as “reasonable” or “good
faith”), such No-Duty Person shall be entitled to consider any such interests and factors, including its own, as it desires, and
shall have no duty or obligation to consider any other interests or factors whatsoever or (ii) with an express standard of behavior
(including standards such as “reasonable” or “good faith”), then such No-Duty Person shall comply with such express
standard but, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, shall not be subject to any other or additional standard imposed by this Agreement
or Law.
(c) The
provisions hereof, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of the No-Duty Persons otherwise
existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members and the Company to replace such other duties and liabilities of the No-Duty
Persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.
(d)
Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.5 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall
not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of the Members under this Section 6.5, as in effect immediately prior
to such amendment, modification or repeal, with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part,
prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.
Section 6.6
Liability; Exculpation and Indemnification.
(a) Liability.
Except as otherwise provided herein, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the debts, obligations and liabilities of
the Company and each Controlled Entity thereof, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts,
obligations and liabilities of the Company or such Controlled Entity, and no Member shall be obligated to any Person (including any
creditor of the Company) for the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company or
such Controlled Entity solely by reason of being a Member. The failure of the Company to observe any formalities relating to the
exercise of its powers or management of its business or affairs hereunder or under applicable Law shall not be a ground for imposing
personal liability on any Member or Covered Person for the obligations and liabilities of the Company.
(b)
Exculpation. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no Covered Person who serves on behalf of the Company shall
be liable to the Company, any Controlled Entity thereof or any other Person for any loss, liability, damage or claim arising out of any
act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person on behalf of the Company or any Controlled Entity thereof or in furtherance
of the interests of the Company or any Controlled Entity thereof or arising out of or in connection with the Company or any Controlled
Entity thereof taken or omitted by such Covered Person, so long as such act or omission did not constitute gross negligence, fraud or
willful misconduct.
(c)
Indemnification.
(i)
To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Limited Liability Act (the “DLLCA”) , as the same exists or
as may hereafter be amended, a person who serves as a Manager of the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its Members
for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a Manager. If the DLLCA is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating
or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a Manager of the Company shall be eliminated or limited to the
fullest extent permitted by the DLLCA, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this Section 6.6 shall not adversely affect
any right or protection of a Manager of the Company with respect to events occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.
(ii) To
the fullest extent permitted by the DLLCA, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment,
only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the
Company to provide prior to such amendment), the Company shall indemnify any Covered Person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a Covered Person (any person in such a position, an
“Indemnified Person”), whether the basis of such action, suit or proceeding is alleged action in an official
capacity as a director, officer or agent of the Company or in any other capacity while serving as a Covered Person, against
Indemnifiable Losses if such Indemnified Person acted in good faith and in a manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe such Indemnified Person’s conduct was unlawful; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section
6.6(i) with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification or advancement, the Company shall indemnify any such
Indemnified Person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnified Person only if such proceeding
(or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Managers. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the
Indemnified Person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her
conduct was unlawful.
(d)
Advancement of Expenses. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding referenced in Section 6.6(c) shall be paid by the Company
in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified
Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. The
rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Section 6.6(d) shall be contract rights and such rights
shall continue as to an Indemnified Person who has ceased to be a Covered Person of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of his
or her heirs, executors and administrators.
(e)
Good-Faith Reliance. For purposes of any determination under this Section 6.6, a Covered Person shall be deemed to
have acted in good faith and in a manner such Covered Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct
was unlawful, if such person’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Company or another enterprise, or on information
supplied to such person by the Board of Managers or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel
for the Company or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Company or another enterprise by an independent
certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Company or another enterprise. The
provisions of this Section 6.6(e) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person
may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Section 6.6.
(f) Changes
in Law. Any repeal or amendment of this Section 6.6 or by changes in the DLLCA, or the adoption of any other provision of
this Agreement inconsistent with this Section 6.6, shall, unless otherwise required by the DLLCA, be prospective only (except
to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Company to provide broader indemnification or advancement rights on a
retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection
existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision in respect of any proceeding (regardless
of when such proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) arising out of or related to any act or omission occurring
prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.
(g)
Indemnification Not Exclusive. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to this
Section 6.6 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a Covered Person seeking indemnification or advancement
of expenses may be entitled under any, agreement, consent of Members or disinterested Managers or otherwise, both as to action in his
or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity as a Covered Person.
(h)
Primacy of Indemnification. The Company hereby acknowledges that an Indemnified Person may have certain rights to other
indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance from persons other than the Company (collectively, the “Other Indemnitors”).
The Company hereby agrees that with respect to any Indemnifiable Losses paid in settlement arising by reason of the fact that such Indemnified
Person is or was an Indemnified Person, (a) that the Company is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to an Indemnified
Person are primary and any obligation of the Other Indemnitors to advance expenses, provide indemnification or otherwise pay for the Indemnifiable
Losses incurred by such Indemnified Person are secondary), (b) that the Company shall be required to advance the full amount of Indemnifiable
Losses incurred by an Indemnified Person in accordance with this Section 6.6(h) and shall be liable for the full amount of all
Indemnifiable Losses to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement (or any other agreement between the
Company and an Indemnified Person), without regard to any rights an Indemnified Person may have against the Other Indemnitors, and (c)
that the Company irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Other Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Other Indemnitors
for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or
payment by the Other Indemnitors on behalf of an Indemnified Person with respect to any claim for which such Indemnified Person has sought
indemnification or advancement from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Other Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution
and/or to be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Indemnified Person against
the Company. The Company and each Indemnified Person agree that the Other Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms
of this Section 6.6(h).
(i)
Maintenance of Insurance or Other Financial Arrangements The Company shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance
on behalf of any Person who is or was an Indemnified Person against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her
in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him or
her against such liability under the provisions of this Section 6.6.
(j) If
a claim under Section 6.6(c)(ii) or Section 6.6(d) is not paid in full by the Company within sixty (60) days after a
written claim has been received by the Company, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the
applicable period shall be twenty (20) days, the Indemnified Person may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to
recover the unpaid amount of the claim. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL (as if it were applicable to the Company), if
successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses, the
Indemnified Person shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (a) any suit brought by
the Indemnified Person to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the Indemnified Person to
enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (b) in any suit brought by the Company to recover an
advancement of expenses, the Company shall be entitled to recover such expenses only upon a final adjudication that, the Indemnified
Person has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DLLCA. Neither the failure of the Company (including
its Managers who are not parties to such action, a committee of such Managers, independent legal counsel, or its Members) to have
made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnified Person is proper in the
circumstances because the Indemnified Person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DLLCA, nor an actual
determination by the Company (including its Managers who are not parties to such action, a committee of such Managers, independent
legal counsel, or its Members) that the Indemnified Person has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a
presumption that the Indemnified Person has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the
Indemnified Person, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnified Person to enforce a right to indemnification
or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses, the burden of proving
that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Section 6.6 or
otherwise shall be on the Company.
(k)
For purposes of this Section 6.6, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans and
references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references
to “serving at the request of the Company” shall include any service which imposes duties on, or involves services by, the
Indemnified Person with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and
in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall
be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Company” as referred to in this Section 6.6.
(l)
The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 6.6 shall continue as
to a person who has ceased to be an Indemnified Person and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such
a person.
(m)
The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Managers, grant rights to indemnification and to the
advancement of expenses to any Person to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Section 6.6 with respect to the indemnification
and advancement of expenses of Indemnified Persons.
(n)
No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under this Section 6.6 to make any payment to a
Covered Person in respect of any Indemnifiable Losses to the extent that the Covered Person has otherwise actually received payment (net
of any expenses incurred in connection therewith and any repayment by the Covered Person made with respect thereto) under any insurance
policy or from any other source in respect of such Indemnifiable Losses.
Section 6.7
Notice of Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by a Covered Person of notice of the commencement of any proceeding against
such Covered Person, such Covered Person shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against the Company, give
prompt written notice to the Company of the commencement of such proceeding; provided that the failure of a Covered Person to give
notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under Section 6.6, except to the extent that the
Company is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such proceeding is brought against a Covered
Person (other than a proceeding by or in the right of the Company), after the Company has acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify
and hold harmless the Covered Person, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such proceeding; provided that the
Covered Person shall be entitled to participate in such proceeding and to retain its own counsel at its own expense. After notice from
the Company to such Covered Person acknowledging the Company’s obligation to indemnify and hold harmless the Covered Person and
electing to assume the defense of such proceeding, the Company shall not be liable for expenses subsequently incurred by such Covered
Person in connection with the defense thereof. Without the consent of such Covered Person (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed), the Company shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional
term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Covered Person of a release from all liability arising out of the proceeding
and claims asserted therein and does not involve any statement, finding or admission of any fault, culpability, failure to act, violation
of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by or on behalf of such Covered Person.
Section 6.8
Amendments. Any repeal, amendment or modification of Article VI shall not adversely affect any rights of a Covered
Person pursuant to this Article VI, including the right to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses of a Covered
Person, existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.
Article VII
RIGHTS
AND OBLIGATIONS OF MEMBERS
Section 7.1
Information Rights of Members Relating to the Company.
(a) In
addition to other rights provided hereby or under applicable Law, the Company shall deliver to each Member (who is not also a
stockholder of the Corporation) a copy of any information mailed to all stockholders of the Corporation as soon as practicable after
such mailing.
(b)
The Company shall notify any Member, on its written request (x) in connection with a redemption or proposed redemption pursuant
to Article XIII or (y) following the occurrence of an event that would reasonably be expected to cause a change to the
Adjustment Factor, of the then-current Adjustment Factor or any change made to the Adjustment Factor.
(c)
Section 18-305 of the Act (entitled “Access to and Confidentiality of Information; Records”) shall not apply
or be incorporated into this Agreement except to the extent expressly provided herein.
(d)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.1, the Company may keep confidential from the Non-Corporation
Members (or any of them), for such period of time as the Board of Managers determines, any information that (i) the Board of Managers
believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or other information the disclosure of which the Board of Managers reasonably believes is
not in the best interests of the Company or any member of the Parent Corporation Group, or (ii) the Company, any member of the Parent
Corporation Group or any Controlled Entity of the foregoing and its Subsidiaries is required by Law or by agreement to keep confidential.
Section 7.2
Members’ Right to Act. For matters that require the Consent of the Members or the Consent of the Non-Corporation Members,
the applicable Members shall act through meetings or written consents as described in this Section 7.2.
(a)
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, acts by Consent of the Members or Consent of the Non-Corporation Members, voting
together as a single class, shall be the acts of the Members or the Non-Corporation Members, respectively. Any Member entitled to vote
at a meeting of Members, or to express consent or dissent to any Company action in a written transmission without a meeting, may authorize
another Person or Persons to act for such Member by proxy in accordance with applicable Law. If a proxy designates two (2) or more Persons
to act as proxies, unless that instrument shall provide to the contrary, a majority of such Persons shall have and may exercise all the
powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or, if a majority do not agree on any particular issue, the Company shall not be
required to recognize such proxy with respect to such issue if such proxy does not specify how the votes that are the subject of such
proxy are to be voted with respect to such issue.
(b) Actions
by the Members or the Non-Corporation Members hereunder shall be taken at a meeting called by the a Majority in Interest of the
Members on at least forty-eight (48) hours’ prior written notice to the other Members entitled to vote thereat, which notice
shall state the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is being called unless such notice is waived by such Member; provided, however,
that any such action may be taken by written consent; provided that such consent is signed by Members having not less than
the minimum Percentage Interest that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which the applicable
Members entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. The actions taken by the Members entitled to vote or Consent at any meeting
(as opposed to by written consent), however called and noticed, shall be as valid as though taken at a meeting duly held after
regular call and notice if (but not until), either before, at or after the meeting, the Members entitled to vote or consent as to
whom it was improperly held execute a written waiver of notice or a consent to the holding of such meeting or an approval of the
minutes thereof. Prompt notice of the action so taken without a meeting, which shall state the action so taken and may be delivered
via email, shall be given to those Members entitled to vote or consent who have not consented in writing; provided, however,
that the failure to give any such notice shall not affect the validity of the action taken by such written consent. Any action taken
pursuant to such written consent of the applicable Members shall have the same force and effect as if taken by the Members at a
meeting thereof.
Section 7.3
Various Capacities. The Members acknowledge and agree that the Members or their Affiliates will from time to time act
in various capacities hereunder, including as a Member.
Section 7.4
Listing of Members. Without the approval of the Board of Managers, no Non-Corporation Member all or substantially all
of whose assets (together with its Affiliates) consist of Membership Interests may have its or any of its Affiliates securities listed
(or take any action that would require it to be listed) on any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which securities are
traded at any time; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.4 shall not apply with respect to the securities
of Amber GT Parent unless Amber GT Parent transfers to a non-Affiliate all or substantially all of its assets other than the Membership
Interests.
Article VIII
BOOKS
AND RECORDS
Section 8.1
Books and Records. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep, or cause to be kept, separate, complete
and accurate books and records of the Company for financial reporting purposes, on an accrual basis, in accordance with the United States
generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, including all books and records necessary to provide any information,
lists and copies of documents required pursuant to applicable Law.
Section 8.2 Inspection.
Subject to Section 14.9, the Company shall permit the Non-Corporation Members (personally or through an authorized
representative), to (a) visit and inspect, at their sole cost and expense, the properties of the Company and its Controlled Entities
during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice in such a manner as to not unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of
the Company or any such Controlled Affiliate and solely for purposes reasonably related to their respective Membership Interests and
(b) review and, in the reasonable discretion of the Board of Managers, copy (at their own expense) the books and records, or
business and financial records, of the Company or any of its Controlled Entities during reasonable business hours upon reasonable
prior notice in such a manner as to not unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of the Company or such Controlled Entity and
solely for purposes reasonably related to their respective Membership Interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the

the location of such information, (ii) the Company and the Non-Corporation Members acknowledge and agree that each member of the

properties and other business relations of the Company, its Controlled Entities and their respective businesses, except and to the
extent determined otherwise by the Board of Managers and (iii) the access and information rights of any Non-Corporation Member
under this Section 8.2 may be limited to the extent that the Board of Managers reasonably and in good faith determines
that such limitation is necessary or advisable in light of any competing activities of such Non-Corporation Member.
Article IX
TAX
MATTERS
Section 9.1
Partnership Status and Tax Elections. It is the intent of the Members that the Company be taxed as a partnership for United
States federal, state and local income Tax purposes. The Members hereby agree not to elect (a) to be excluded from the application of
subchapter K of chapter 1 of subtitle A of the Code or any similar state statute and (b) for the Company to be treated as a corporation,
or an association taxable as a corporation, under the Code or any similar state statute.
Section 9.2 Tax
Returns; Information. The Board of Managers shall arrange for the preparation of all Tax returns of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries; provided, that in the case of any such Tax return that is a U.S. federal income Tax return, the Board of
Managers shall arrange for the preparation of such Tax return by a nationally-recognized accounting firm. In the case of any Tax
return of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that relates to a taxable year (or portion thereof) of the Company or its any of
its Subsidiaries beginning on or before the Closing Date and with respect to which Amber GT or any of its Affiliates has any
indemnity obligation under the Business Combination Agreement, the Company shall provide a draft copy of such Tax Return to Amber GT
for its review and comment not later than fifteen (15) days prior to filing and shall consider in good faith any comments provided
by Amber GT with respect to such Tax return. For any taxable year in which Amber GT (or any of its Affiliates) owns more than 10% of
the Membership Interests for at least six (6) months during the taxable year, the Company shall provide a draft of the Company's IRS
Form 1065 (including all accompanying schedules) to Amber GT for its review and comment and shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to provide such draft at least thirty (30) days prior to filing. The Company shall consider in good faith any comments
provided by Amber GT. The Company shall keep at its principal office copies of the Company’s (and its Subsidiaries’)
federal, state and local income Tax returns, if any, for all taxable years or periods for which Amber GT (or any of its Affiliates)
owns more than 10% of the outstanding Membership Interests for at least six (6) months of such taxable year, and shall retain such
returns for the period required under applicable Law. Prior to destroying any such returns, the Company shall provide Amber GT a
reasonable opportunity, at its own expense, to take possession of such returns. As soon as reasonably practicable following the
filing of such income Tax returns, the Company shall furnish to each Member a copy of each such income Tax return as filed, together
with any schedules or other information, in each case as such Member may reasonably require in connection with such Member’s
own tax affairs.
Section 9.3
Partnership Representative.
(a)
The Corporation is hereby designated as the “partnership representative” of the Company (as that term is defined in
Section 6223(a) of the Code, the “Partnership Representative”), with all of
the rights, duties and powers provided for in the Code and Regulations. The Company shall appoint the “designated individual”
identified by the Partnership Representative to act on behalf of the Partnership Representative (the “Designated
Individual”) in accordance with the applicable Regulations. Each Member expressly consents to such designations and agrees
that it will execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and record at the appropriate public offices such documents as may be necessary or appropriate
to evidence such consent.
(b)
The Members agree to reasonably cooperate to timely provide information requested by the Partnership Representative as needed to
comply with the Partnership Audit Procedures, including to make any elections available to the Company under the Partnership Audit Procedures.
Each Member agrees that, upon request of the Company, such Member shall take such actions as may be necessary or desirable (as determined
by the Partnership Representative) to (i) allow the Company to comply with the provisions of Section 6226 of the Partnership Audit
Procedures so that any “partnership adjustments” (as defined in Section 6241(2) of the Partnership Audit Procedures)
are taken into account by the Members and former Members rather than the Company; (ii) use the provisions of Section 6225(c) of the Partnership
Audit Procedures including, but not limited to, filing amended tax returns with respect to any “reviewed year” (within the
meaning of Section 6225(d)(1) of the Partnership Audit Procedures) or using the alternative procedure to filing amended returns to
reduce the amount of any partnership adjustment otherwise required to be taken into account by the Company; or (iii) otherwise allow
the Company and its Members to address and respond to any matters arising under the Partnership Audit Procedures.
(c) For
any taxable year in which Amber GT (or any of its Affiliates) owns at least 10% of the interests in the Company for at least six (6)
months during the taxable year, the Partnership Representative shall deliver to Amber GT a copy of all material notices,
communications, reports and writings received from the IRS by the Company or the Partnership Representative relating to or
potentially resulting in an adjustment of Company items (a “Proposed Adjustment”) and shall keep Amber GT
reasonably informed regarding all material developments with respect to such Proposed Adjustment. In addition, with respect to any
such taxable year, the Partnership Representative shall (i) provide Amber GT with a draft copy of any correspondence, filing or
other materials to be submitted by the Company, the Partnership Representative or any of their Affiliates in connection with any
administrative or judicial proceedings relating to such Proposed Adjustment reasonably in advance of such submission, (ii) consider
in good faith all reasonable changes or comments to such correspondence, filing or other materials requested by Amber GT (to the
extent such comments are provided in a timely manner such that it would allow the Company to comply with any deadline imposed under
applicable Law), and (iii) provide Amber GT with a final copy of such correspondence, filing or other materials.
(d)
The Partnership Representative shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) apply the rules and elections under the Partnership
Audit Procedures in a manner that minimizes the likelihood that any Member would bear any material tax, interest or penalties as a result
of any audit or proceeding that is attributable to another Member (other than a predecessor in interest) and (ii) cause the financial
burden of any “imputed underpayment” (as determined in accordance with Section 6225 of the Partnership Audit Procedures)
or Proposed Adjustment that does not give rise to an imputed underpayment to be apportioned among the Members of the Company for the taxable
year in which the adjustment is finalized in such manner as may be necessary (as determined by the Partnership Representative in good
faith) so that, to the maximum extent possible, the tax and economic consequences of the imputed underpayment or other Proposed Adjustment
and any associated interest and penalties (any such amount, an “Imputed Underpayment Amount”)
are borne by the Members based upon their interests in the Company for the reviewed year.
(e)
Each Member agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against any liability with respect to such Member’s
share of any Tax deficiency paid or payable by the Company that is apportionable to the Member as determined in accordance with clause
(ii) of Section 9.3(d) with respect to an audited or reviewed taxable year for which such Member was a partner in the Company.
Any obligation of a Member pursuant to this Section 9.3(e) shall be implemented through adjustments to distributions otherwise
payable to such Member as determined in accordance with Section 4.1; provided, however, that at the written
request of the Partnership Representative, each Member or former Member may be required to contribute to the Company such Member’s
Imputed Underpayment Amount imposed on and paid by the Company; provided, further, that if a Member or former Member individually
directly pays, pursuant to the Partnership Audit Procedures, any such Imputed Underpayment Amount, then such payment shall reduce any
offset to distribution or required capital contribution of such Member or former Member. Any amount withheld from distributions pursuant

(f) All
expenses incurred by the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual in connection with its duties as partnership
representative or designated individual, as applicable, shall be expenses of the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any
costs and expenses incurred in connection with any claims asserted against the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual,
as applicable, except to the extent the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual is determined to have performed its
duties in the manner described in the final sentence of this Section 9.3(f), and the Company shall reimburse and indemnify
the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual, as applicable, for all such expenses and costs. Nothing herein shall be
construed to restrict the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual from engaging lawyers, accountants, tax advisers, or
other professional advisers or experts to assist the Partnership Representative or Designated Individual in discharging its duties
hereunder. Neither the Partnership Representative nor Designated Individual shall be liable to the Company, any Member or any
Affiliate thereof for any costs or losses to any Persons, any diminution in value or any liability whatsoever arising as a result of
the performance of its duties pursuant to this Section 9.3 absent (i) willful breach of any provision of this Section 9.3

extent such an election is not already in force) and shall maintain and keep such election in effect at all times and, except as otherwise
provided herein, the Board of Managers shall determine whether to make any other available election pursuant to the Code

provisions of any other U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. Law and shall apportion such amounts to the Members with respect to which
such amount was withheld. The Members shall, upon request by the Company promptly pay to the Company any amount otherwise required to
be so withheld with respect to such Member that is paid over by the Company to the appropriate taxing authority (and such payment shall
not be considered a Capital Contribution for purposes hereof). Any amounts so withheld (and not paid to the Company by the applicable
Member) and paid over by the Company to the appropriate taxing authority shall be offset against the current or next amounts otherwise
distributable to such Member (and, to the extent so withheld and paid over, shall be treated as amounts distributed to such Member for
all purposes hereof).
Section 9.6
Survival. The obligations set forth in this Article IX shall survive the termination of any Member’s interest
in the Company, the termination hereof and/or the termination, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, and shall remain
binding on each Member for the period of time necessary to resolve with the IRS (or any other applicable taxing authority) all Tax matters

Shares may be Transferred unless an equal number of Common Units are Transferred therewith in accordance with this Agreement (including
in respect of those Transfers to Permitted Transferees) and the Charter.

to the Company or any Person who is related (within the meaning of Regulations section 1.752-4(b)) to any lender to the Company whose
loan constitutes a Nonrecourse Liability, without the consent of the Board of Managers; provided that as a condition to such consent,
the lender will be required to enter into an arrangement with the Company and the Corporation to redeem or exchange for the Class A
Shares Amount any Common Units in which a security interest is held by such lender immediately before the time at which such lender would
be deemed to be a member in the Company for purposes of allocating liabilities to such lender under Section 752 of the Code.
Section 10.2
Transfer of Membership Interests Held by the Parent Corporation Group.
(a) Except
as provided in Section 10.2(b), no member of the Parent Corporation Group may Transfer, directly or indirectly, its
Membership Interests, in whole or in part, without the Consent of the Non-Corporation Members, other than (x) a Transfer to a
Permitted Lender Transferee or to any Person, including any Third-Party Pledge Transferee designated by any lender or lenders
secured by a Pledge, or agents acting on their behalf, to which Membership Interests are Transferred pursuant to the exercise of
remedies under a Pledge, whether before or after one (1) or more Permitted Lender Transferees take title to such Membership
Interests or (y) a Transfer in connection with a corporate restructuring, reorganization, recapitalization or comparable
transaction (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, a Termination Transaction of the Corporation) in which (I) all of the
Membership Interests held by a member of the Parent Corporation Group immediately prior to such corporate transaction are
transferred to a successor surviving Person that directly or indirectly owns all of the Membership Interests previously held by such
member of the Parent Corporation Group and (II) if applicable, proper provision is made for the continuation of the rights and
benefits of the Non-Corporation Members hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those pursuant to Article XIII as
it pertains to any resulting public company in such transaction).
(b)
Subject to, in the case of clause (i) the applicable provisions of this Article X and, in the case of clause (ii),
any express limitations hereunder with respect to such Transfer to which the members of the Parent Corporation Group are otherwise subject,

of any other Members, (i) Transfer its Membership Interests, in whole or in part, to any Person that is, and remains, a direct or indirect
wholly owned Controlled Entity of the Corporation, or (ii) Transfer its Membership Interests in connection with the consummation

Section 10.3
Members’ Rights to Transfer.
(a)
General Restrictions. Except for any Permitted Transfer (subject to the applicable provisions of this Article X)
or any Transfer of Membership Interests pursuant to Section 13.1, no Non-Corporation Member or Assignee shall Transfer, directly
or indirectly, its Membership Interests, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Board of Managers and subject to
any terms and conditions imposed by the Board of Managers (any such Transfer approved by the Board of Managers, an “Approved
Transfer”). Any purported transfer not made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be void ab initio.
(b)
Transfer Conditions.
(i)
Qualified Transferee. Except for any Transfer pursuant to Section 13.1, any Permitted Transfer of a Non-Corporation
Member and any Approved Transfer shall be made only to a single Qualified Transferee; provided, however, that all Qualified
Transferees that are Affiliates, or that comprise investment accounts or funds managed by a single Qualified Transferee and its Affiliates,
shall be considered together to be a single Qualified Transferee; provided, further, that each such Transfer meeting the
minimum Transfer restriction of Section 10.3(b)(iii) may be to a separate Qualified Transferee.
(ii) Opinion
of Counsel. In connection with any Approved Transfer, the Transferring Member shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Company an opinion of legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Board of Managers to the effect that the proposed Transfer may be
effected without registration under the Securities Act and will not otherwise violate the registration provisions of the Securities
Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder or violate any state securities Laws or regulations applicable to the Company or the
Membership Interests Transferred; provided, however, that the Board of Managers may waive this condition in its sole
discretion; provided, further, that, if the Board of Managers determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such
Transfer would (A) create a material risk of requiring the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act, (B) cause
the Company to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or a “publicly traded partnership” pursuant to
Section 7704 of the Code, or (C) otherwise violate any federal or state securities Laws or regulations applicable to the Company or
the Membership Interests, the Board of Managers may, in its sole discretion, prohibit any such Approved Transfer. The foregoing
provisions of this Section 10.3(b)(ii) shall not apply to any Permitted Transfer or any Transfer pursuant to Section 13.1.
(iii)
Minimum Transfer Restriction. Any Transferring Member in an Approved Transfer shall not Transfer less than the lesser of
(i) 10,000 Common Units (as adjusted for any unit split, unit distribution, reverse unit split, reclassification or similar event,
in each case with such adjustment being determined by the Board of Managers) or (ii) all of the remaining Membership Interests owned
by such Transferring Member; provided, however, that for purposes of determining compliance with the foregoing restriction,
all Membership Interests owned by Affiliates of a Member shall be considered to be owned by such Member; provided, further,
that the Board of Managers may waive these provisions of this clause (iii) in its sole discretion; provided, that any such waiver
shall apply equally to all Non-Transferring Members. The foregoing provisions of this Section 10.3(b)(iii) shall not apply
to any Permitted Transfer or any Transfer pursuant to Section 13.1.
(c)
Incapacity. If a Member is subject to Incapacity, the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator
or receiver of such Member’s estate shall have all the rights of a Member, but not more rights than those enjoyed by other Members,
for the purpose of settling or managing the estate, and such power as the Incapacitated Member possessed to Transfer all or any part of
its interest in the Company. The Incapacity of a Member, in and of itself, shall not dissolve or terminate the Company.
(d)
Tax Information. In connection with any Transfer hereunder, the Member Transferring such Member’s Interest (or part
thereof) or any rights therein shall provide such information as may be reasonably requested by the Board of Managers, including in connection
with an election made or to be made by the Company pursuant to Section 754 of the Code or the Company’s potential withholding obligation
under Section 1446(f)(4) of the Code.
Section 10.4
Substituted Members.
(a) A
transferee of any Membership Interests pursuant to Section 10.2 or Section 10.3 shall be admitted as a Substituted
Member, subject to compliance with the last sentence of this Section 10.4(a). The failure or refusal by the Board of
Managers to permit a transferee of any such Membership Interests to become a Substituted Member shall not give rise to any cause of
action against the Company, the Board of Managers or any member of the Parent Corporation Group. Subject to the foregoing, a
transferee shall not be admitted as a Substituted Member until and unless, and such underlying transfer shall not be effective until
and unless, it furnishes to the Board of Managers (i) a joinder agreement, in a form and substance satisfactory to the Board of
Managers, under which such Person agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (ii) Consent by
Spouse, if applicable, and (iii) such other documents or instruments as may be required by the Board of Managers in order to
effect such Person’s admission as a Substituted Member.
(b)
A Substituted Member shall have the same rights, preferences and privileges, and shall be subject to the same covenants and agreements,
set forth herein as the applicable Members.
Section 10.5
Assignees. An Assignee shall be entitled to receive distributions from the Company and the share of Net Profits, Net Losses
and other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company attributable to the Membership Interests assigned to such
transferee and the rights to Transfer the Membership Interests as provided in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Article
X and Article XIII with respect to such Assignee’s Membership Interests (as if such Assignee was a Member and provided,
that such Assignee shall only have such rights if he, she or it otherwise complies with all covenants, agreements or obligations of a
Member with respect thereto, other than the last sentence of Section 10.4(a)), but shall not be deemed to be a Member or holder of Membership
Interests for any other purpose hereunder; provided that an Assignee shall not be entitled to such items if it would cause the Company
to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or a “publicly traded partnership” pursuant to Section 7704 of the
Code. Unless admitted as a Substituted Member, no Assignee shall have any rights hereunder, other than those of an Assignee as expressly
provided in this Section 10.5.
Section 10.6
General Provisions.
(a) No
Transfer of any Membership Interests shall relieve the Transferring Member of any of its covenants and agreements hereunder, except
and to the extent actually performed or otherwise determined by the Board of Managers, and no Non-Corporation Member may withdraw
from the Company, except (i) as a result of a Permitted Transfer or Approved Transfer of all of such Member’s Membership
Interests in which the transferee becomes a Substituted Member in accordance with Section 10.4, (ii) pursuant to the
Redemption, Termination Transaction Redemption or Corporation Unit Acquisition of all of its Membership Interests under Section 13.1
or any redemption of all of its Membership Interests pursuant to any Membership Interest Designation or (iii) as a result of the
acquisition by the Corporation of all of such Member’s Membership Interests, whether or not pursuant to Section 13.1(b).
For the avoidance of doubt, Any Non-Corporation Member that Transfers all of its Membership Interests in a transaction contemplated
by the foregoing clauses (i) –(iii) shall cease to be a Non-Corporation Member.
(b)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except as otherwise determined, in the case of clauses (iii) through (x), by the
Board of Managers in its discretion or in connection with a Termination Transaction of the Corporation that is approved by the Board of
Directors, in no event may any Transfer of Membership Interests, in whole or in part (including any Redemption, Termination Transaction
Redemption or Corporation Unit Acquisition, any other acquisition of Membership Interests by the Corporation, any acquisition of Membership
Interests by the Company, any Permitted Transfer or any direct or indirect Transfer of an interest in any Member), be made:
(i)
to any Person who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a Membership Interest;
(ii)
in violation of applicable Law;
(iii)
of any component portion of a Membership Interest, such as the Capital Account, or rights to distributions, separate and apart
from all other components of a Membership Interest;
(iv)
if the Board of Managers determines that such Transfer would create a material risk that the Company would become, with respect
to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a “party-in-interest” (as defined in ERISA Section 3(14)) or
a “disqualified person” (as defined in Section 4975(c) of the Code);
(v)
if the Board of Managers determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such Transfer would create a material risk that any portion
of the assets of the Company would constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations section
2510.2-101;
(vi)
if such Transfer requires the registration of such Membership Interest pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities Laws;
(vii)
if the Board of Managers determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such Transfer creates a material risk that the Company
would become a reporting company under the Exchange Act;
(viii)
if the Board of Managers determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such Transfer subjects the Company to regulation under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or ERISA; or
(ix)
if the Board of Managers determines, based on the advice of counsel that (1) there would be a non De Minimis risk that such Transfer
would result in the Company having more than 100 partners, within the meaning of Regulations section 1.7704-1(h) (determined taking into
account the rules of Regulations section 1.7704-1(h)(3)), (2) there would be a non De Minimis risk that such Transfer would be treated
as effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)”
within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code, (3) such Transfer would create a non De Minimis risk of the Company being treated as an
association taxable as a corporation or a “publicly traded partnership” pursuant to Section 7704 of the Code or (4) such Transfer
would cause the Company to have a non De Minimis withholding obligation under Section 1446(f) of the Code or a successor provision for
which the Company is paid in advance by the transferor pursuant to this Agreement.
(c)
In connection with any proposed Transfer, at the request of the Board of Managers, the applicable transferor shall furnish to the
Company evidence in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Board of Managers (which shall, if requested by the Board of Managers,
include a representation letter of the proposed transferee, to include representations substantially similar to those described in Section
2.8 and Section 2.9 hereof) that the Transfer would not have any of the results described in Section 10.6(b).
(d)
Transfers pursuant to this Article X, other than a Permitted Transfer to a Permitted Transferee pursuant to the exercise
of remedies under a Pledge or a Transfer by a member of the Parent Corporation Group, may only be made on the first day of any month,
unless the Board of Managers otherwise agrees.

(i) in
connection with any such Termination Transaction of the Corporation, each Non-Corporation Member will receive, or will have the
right to elect to receive (to the extent an election is made available to the holders of Class A Shares), the amount of cash,

(ii)
all of the following conditions are met: (1) substantially all of the assets directly or indirectly owned by the Company prior

net assets of the Surviving Company immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction unless such Non-Corporation Members receive
cash compensation for such Common Units; (4) the rights of such Non-Corporation Members with respect to the Surviving Company are
no less favorable in the aggregate as those of the Non-Corporation Members holding Common Units immediately prior to the consummation
of such transaction (except to the extent that any such rights are consistent with clause (5) below) and as those applicable
to any other Non-Corporation Members of the Surviving Company; and (5) such rights include the right to redeem their interests in
the Surviving Company on the terms and conditions no less favorable in the aggregate as those set forth in Article XIII.

Article XII
DISSOLUTION,
LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION
Section 12.1
No Dissolution. The Company shall not be dissolved upon (a) the admission of Additional Members or Substituted Members in
accordance with the terms hereof, or (b) the Incapacity of any Member, or the occurrence of any other event that terminates the continued
membership of any Member in the Company. The Company may be dissolved, liquidated and terminated only pursuant to the provisions of this
Article XII, and the Members hereby irrevocably waive any and all other rights they may have to cause a dissolution of the
Company or a sale or partition of any or all of the Company assets.
Section 12.2
Events Causing Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up upon the earliest to occurrence
of any of the following events (each, a “Liquidating Event”):
(a)
the Board of Managers’ determination, with the Consent of the Members, to dissolve the Company and wind up its affairs;
(b)
the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s consolidated assets;
(c)
the termination of the legal existence of the last remaining Member of the Company or the occurrence of any other event which terminates

in a manner permitted by this Agreement or the Act; or
(d)
the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act requiring such dissolution and winding up pursuant

Section 12.3
Distribution upon Dissolution.
(a) Upon
the dissolution of the Company pursuant to Section 12.2, unless the Company is continued pursuant to Section 12.2,
the Board of Managers or any Person selected by the Board of Managers (the Board of Managers or such other Person being referred to
herein as the “Liquidator”)) shall be responsible for overseeing the
winding up and dissolution of the Company and shall take full account of the Company’s liabilities and property, and the
Company property shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the Fair Market Value thereof, and the proceeds
therefrom (which may, to the extent determined by the Board of Managers, include shares of stock in the Corporation) shall be
applied and distributed in the following order:
(i)
first, to the satisfaction of all of the Company’s debts and liabilities to creditors including Members who are creditors
(other than with respect to liabilities owed to Members in satisfaction of liabilities for distributions), whether by payment or the making
of reasonable provision for payment thereof;
(ii)
second, to the satisfaction of all of the Company’s liabilities to the Members in satisfaction of liabilities for distributions,
whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof; and

The Board of Managers shall not receive any additional compensation
for any services performed pursuant to this Article XII.
(b)
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.3(a) that require liquidation of the assets of the Company, but subject
to the order of priorities set forth therein, if prior to or upon dissolution of the Company, the Liquidator determines that an immediate
sale of part or all of the Company’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Members, the Liquidator may, in
its sole and absolute discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities
of the Company (including to those Members as creditors) and/or distribute to the Members, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in
accordance with the provisions of Section 12.3(a), undivided interests in such Company assets as the Liquidator deems not
suitable for liquidation. Any such distributions in kind shall be made only if, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidator, such distributions
in kind are in the best interest of the Members, and shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of
such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operation of such properties at such
time. The Liquidator shall determine the Fair Market Value in its reasonable judgment of any property distributed in kind using such reasonable
method of valuation as it may adopt.
(c)
If any Member has a deficit balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations
for all taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), such Member shall have no obligation to make any contribution
to the capital of the Company with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Company or to
any other Person for any purpose whatsoever. In the sole and absolute discretion of the Board of Managers or the Liquidator, a pro rata
portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Members pursuant to this Article XII may be:
(i)
distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the Members for the purpose of liquidating Company assets, collecting amounts
owed to the Company, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company or of the Board of Managers arising
out of or in connection with the Company and/or Company activities. The assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the Members,
from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the Board of Managers, in the same proportions and amounts as would otherwise have
been distributed to the Member pursuant hereto; or
(ii)
withheld or escrowed to provide a reasonable reserve for Company liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized
portion of any installment obligations owed to the Company; provided that such withheld or escrowed amounts shall be distributed
to the Member in the manner and order of priority set forth in Section 12.3(a) as soon as practicable.
Section 12.4
Rights of Members. Except as otherwise provided herein and subject to the rights of any Member set forth in a Membership
Interest Designation, (a) each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of its Capital Contribution, (b) no
Member shall have the right or power to demand or receive property other than cash from the Company and (c) no Member shall have priority
over any other Member as to the return of its Capital Contributions, distributions or allocations.
Section 12.5

debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company, shall have been distributed to the Members in the manner provided for in this Article XII,
and the Certificate shall have been cancelled in the manner required by the Act.
Section 12.6
Reasonable Time for Winding-Up. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding-up of the business and affairs
of the Company and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section 12.3, in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant
upon such winding-up, and the provisions hereof shall remain in effect between and among the Members during the period of liquidation.

RIGHTS

Redemption Rights of Non-Corporation Members.
(a)
Redemption.

the expiration or earlier termination of the Lock-Up Period, a Non-Corporation Member shall have the right (subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 13.1(b) and Section 13.1(c)) to
redeem all or a portion of the Common Units held by such Non-Corporation Member (any such Common Units with respect to which a
Non-Corporation Member has exercised such right, “Tendered Units”) in
exchange for the Cash Amount payable on the Specified Redemption Date (in each case, a “Redemption”); provided, however,
that, subject to any rights of the Corporation or the ARYA Sponsor under the Investor Rights Agreement, the Company may, in the
Board of Managers’ sole discretion, redeem Tendered Units at the request of a Non-Corporation Member prior to the end of the
Lock-Up Period (such a Redemption, which shall, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute and be treated as a Redemption for all
purposes hereof, a “Special Redemption”); provided, further,
that the Board of Managers first receives an opinion of counsel for the Non-Corporation Member reasonably satisfactory to the Board
of Managers to the effect that the proposed Special Redemption will not cause the Company or the Corporation to violate any federal
or state securities Laws or regulations applicable to the Special Redemption or the issuance and sale of Class A Shares pursuant to
a Corporation Unit Acquisition. Any Redemption shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Redemption delivered to the Company and
the Corporation by the Non-Corporation Member (the “Tendering Party”) not
less than ten (10) and not more than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the Specified Redemption Date; provided that,
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Notice of Redemption may only be submitted up to two (2) times per quarter of the
Fiscal Year. The Company’s obligation to effect a Redemption shall be subject to Section 13.1(b) and shall not be
binding on the Company until the Business Day following the Cut-Off Date. On or prior to the Specified Redemption Date, the
Tendering Party shall execute and deliver to the Company a customary redemption or other agreement to effect the applicable
transactions contemplated by this Section 13.1 in a form reasonably acceptable to the Board of Managers, which agreement
shall include customary representations and warranties from the Tendering Party with respect to (i) good title to his, her or its
Common Units, (ii) the absence of liens and encumbrances with respect to his, her or its Common Units, (iii) if an individual, his
or her legal capacity or, if any other Person, its valid existence and good standing (if applicable), (iv) the authority for,
and, to the extent it relates to such Tendering Party, the validity and binding effect of (as against such Tendering Party) any
agreement entered into by such Tendering Party in connection with the redemption or other transactions, (v) no litigation pending
or, to the knowledge of such party, threatened against or affecting such Tendering Party relating to his, her or its ownership of
Common Units or that could otherwise reasonably be expected to materially delay or prevent such redemption or other transaction(s),
(vi) such redemption or other transaction(s) not conflicting with such Tendering Party’s governing documents (if applicable),
or any law, order or regulation applicable to such Tendering Party, or creating any lien or encumbrance on such Tendering
Party’s Common Units and (vii) the fact that no broker’s commission is payable by the Company as a result of such
Tendering Party’s conduct in connection with such redemption or other transaction(s). The Company and the Tendering Party
shall consummate the Redemption on the Specified Redemption Date, upon which the Tendering Party will transfer to the Company the
Tendered Units (free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, except for restrictions on transfer arising under applicable federal
or state securities Laws) and the Company shall deliver to the Tendering Party the applicable Cash Amount as a certified or bank
check payable to the Tendering Party or, in the Board of Managers’ sole and absolute discretion, by wire transfer of funds to
a bank account specified on the Notice of Redemption on or before the Specified Redemption Date.
(ii)
Unless the Corporation has elected to effect a Corporation Unit Acquisition pursuant to Section 13.1(b), the Tendering
Party shall transfer and surrender the Tendered Units to be redeemed to the Company, in each case free and clear of all liens and encumbrances,
except for restrictions on transfer arising under applicable federal or state securities Laws, and the Company shall cancel the redeemed
Tendered Units.
(iii)
If the Common Units to be redeemed by the Tendering Party are represented by a certificate or certificates, prior to the Specified
Redemption Date, the Tendering Party shall also present and surrender such certificate or certificates representing such Common Units
during reasonable business hours at the principal executive offices of the Company. If required by the Board of Managers, the Tendering
Party shall also deliver, prior to the Specified Redemption Date, instruments of transfer, in forms reasonably satisfactory to the Board
of Managers, duly executed by the Tendering Party or the Tendering Party’s duly authorized representative.
(iv) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (A) if a Termination Transaction of a Non-Corporation Member occurs with respect to a Non-Corporation Member,
then such Non-Corporation Member shall deliver a written notice to the Company and the Corporation as promptly as practicable (and
in any event five (5) Business Days) prior to the occurrence of such Termination Transaction of the Non-Corporation Member and (B)
the Board of Managers may elect, pursuant to a notice delivered to such Terminating Non-Corporation Member, specifying a Specified
Redemption Date (the “Termination Transaction Notice”), to require the Non-Corporation Member or any Substituted
Member or Assignee that holds Common Units initially held by such Non-Corporation Member to effect an exchange for the applicable
Class A Shares Amount pursuant to the provisions of Section 13.1(b) (a “Termination Transaction
Redemption”) with respect to (x) in the case of a Termination Transaction of a Non-Corporation Member as defined in
clauses (a), (b), (c), (e) or (f) of the definition of Termination Transaction of a Non-Corporation Member, all of such
Non-Corporation Member’s Membership Interests or (y) in the case of a Termination Transaction of a Non-Corporation Member
as defined in clause (d) of the definition of Termination Transaction of a Non-Corporation Member, solely with respect to all or any
portion of the Membership Interests Transferred in such Termination Transaction of a Non-Corporation Member (the Membership
Interests described in clause (x) or (y), as applicable, the “Termination Transaction Units”), which shall be
effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Termination Transaction of a Non-Corporation Member (but, for the avoidance
of doubt, shall be conditioned on the occurrence of such Termination Transaction of a Non-Corporation Member, and shall not be
effective if such Termination Transaction of a Non-Corporation Member does not occur).
(b)
Acquisition by the Corporation.
(i)
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.1(a), the Corporation may, in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors,
elect to acquire some or all of the Tendered Units from the Tendering Party or Termination Transaction Units from the Terminating Non-Corporation
Member (the Tendered Units or Termination Transaction Units, as applicable, with respect to which the Corporation elects to acquire, the
“Acquired Units” and the percentage of Tendered Units or Termination Transaction
Units, as applicable, the Corporation elects to acquire, the “Acquired Percentage”)
in exchange for the applicable portion of the Class A Shares Amount or the Cash Amount as set forth in this Section 13.1(b)
(a “Corporation Unit Acquisition”), by delivering written notice of such election
to the Tendering Party or the Terminating Non-Corporation Member and the Company, specifying the Acquired Units, the Acquired Percentage
and the form of consideration (as contemplated by Section 13.1(b)), prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Cut-Off
Date (an “Election Notice”).
(ii) If
the Corporation delivers an Election Notice pursuant to Section 13.1(b)(i) to the Tendering Party or the Terminating
Non-Corporation Member and the Company prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Cut-Off Date, then on the Specified Redemption
Date, the Tendering Party or the Terminating Non-Corporation Member, as applicable, shall sell to the Corporation, and the
Corporation shall purchase, the Acquired Units for, in the Corporation’s sole discretion, (1) a number of Class A Shares equal
to the product of the Class A Shares Amount, multiplied by the Acquired Percentage, (2) cash in an amount equal to the
product of the Cash Amount, multiplied by the Acquired Percentage or (3) a combination of the consideration set forth in the
foregoing clauses (1) and (2) in an aggregate amount equal to the Value of the Tendered Units or the Termination Transaction
Units subject to the Corporation Unit Acquisition. The Corporation shall be treated for all purposes hereof as the owner of such
Acquired Units; provided that, if the Corporation funds the Cash Amount other than through the issuance of Class A Shares,
such Acquired Units will be reclassified into another Equivalent Units of the Company if the Board of Managers determines such
reclassification is necessary. On or prior to the Specified Redemption Date, the Tendering Party or the Terminating Non-Corporation
Member shall (x) enter into customary redemption or other agreements to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 13.1(b)
in a form reasonably acceptable to the Board of Managers, which agreement shall include customary representations from the Tendering
Party with respect to (i) good title to his, her or its Common Units, (ii) the absence of liens and encumbrances with respect to
his, her or its Common Units, (iii) if an individual, his or her legal capacity or, if any other Person, its valid existence and
good standing (if applicable), (iv) the authority for, and, to the extent it relates to such Tendering Party, the validity and
binding effect of (as against such Tendering Party) any agreement entered into by such Tendering Party in connection with the
redemption or other transactions, (v) no litigation pending or, to the knowledge of such party, threatened against or affecting such
Tendering Party relating to his, her or its ownership of Common Units or that could otherwise reasonably be expected to materially
delay or prevent such redemption or other transaction(s), (vi) such redemption or other transaction(s) not conflicting with such
Tendering Party’s governing documents (if applicable), or any law, order or regulation applicable to such Tendering Party, or
creating any lien or encumbrance on such Tendering Party’s Common Units and (vii) the fact that no broker’s
commission is payable by as a result of such Tendering Party’s conduct in connection with such redemption or other
transaction(s) and (y) submit such written representations, investment letters, legal opinions or other instruments that are
reasonably necessary, in the view of the Corporation, to effect compliance with the Securities Act. In the event of a purchase of
Acquired Units by the Corporation pursuant to this Section 13.1(b), the Tendering Party shall no longer have the right
to cause the Company to effect a Redemption of such Acquired Units, and upon consummation of such purchase on the Specified
Redemption Date, the Company shall not have any obligation to redeem the Acquired Units under Section 13.1(a).
(iii) If
the Corporation elects to acquire Acquired Units for Class A Shares, in whole or in part, then the Corporation shall issue to the
Tendering Party or the Terminating Non-Corporation Member the applicable number of Class A Shares (as determined under Section 13.1(b)(ii))
as duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Class A Shares (it being understood and agreed that such Class A
Shares shall, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, be in book-entry form and reflected in Corporation’s (or
its transfer agent’s) books and records) and, if applicable and if and when entitled thereto as provided in the definition of
“Class A Shares Amount,” Rights, free of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or restriction (other than restrictions provided
in the Charter, the Investor Rights Agreement, the Securities Act and relevant state securities or “blue sky” Laws or,
in the case of any Rights, any other liens, encumbrances or restrictions that are applicable to all other such Rights). Except as
expressly required by any other written agreement between the Corporation and such Tendering Party or such Termination
Non-Corporation Member, no Tendering Party or Terminating Non-Corporation Member whose Acquired Units are acquired by the
Corporation pursuant to this Section 13.1(b), any Member, any Assignee or any other interested Person shall have any
right to require or cause the Corporation to register, qualify or list any Class A Shares owned or held by such Person, whether or
not such Class A Shares are issued pursuant to this Section 13.1(b), with the SEC, with any state securities
commissioner, department or agency, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or with any securities exchange. Notwithstanding
any delay in such delivery, the Tendering Party or the Terminating Non-Corporation Member shall, subject to his, her or its
compliance with the other applicable covenants and agreements contained in this Article XIII, be deemed the owner of such
Class A Shares for all purposes, including rights to vote or consent, receive dividends, and exercise rights, as of the Specified
Redemption Date. and the Tendering Party or the Terminating Non-Corporation Member shall be deemed to be the owner of, if
applicable, such Rights as of the time he, she or it should have been entitled to such Rights as provided in the definition of
“Class A Shares Amount” for all purposes, including, to the extent applicable to such Rights, the rights to vote or
consent, receive dividends, and exercise rights. Class A Shares or Rights issued upon an acquisition of Acquired Units by the
Corporation pursuant to this Section 13.1(b) may contain such legends regarding restrictions under the Securities Act,
the Investor Rights Agreement, the Securities Act, relevant state securities or “blue sky” Laws as the Corporation in
reasonably determines to be necessary or advisable in order to ensure compliance with such agreements or Laws and, in the case of
any such Rights, such other legends regarding restrictions that are applicable to all other such Rights.
(iv)
If the Corporation elects to acquire the Acquired Units for cash, in whole or in part, the Corporation shall deliver to the Tendering
Party or the Terminating Non-Corporation Member the applicable amount of cash (as determined under Section 13.1(b)(ii)) as
a certified or bank check payable to the Tendering Party or the Terminating Non-Corporation Member or, in the Corporation’s sole
and absolute discretion, by wire transfer of funds to a bank account specified on the Notice of Redemption or as provided in writing by
the Terminating Non-Corporation Member on or before the Specified Redemption Date.
(v)
If the Corporation elects to acquire Acquired Units, the Corporation shall continue as a Member of the Company with respect to
any Common Units or other Equivalent Units in the Company it receives hereunder.
(c)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any Redemption, Termination Transaction Redemption or Corporation
Unit Acquisition pursuant to this Section 13.1:
(i)
without the consent of the Board of Managers, no Tendering Party or Non-Corporation Terminating Member may effect a Redemption
for less than the lesser of (1) 10,000 Common Units (as adjusted for any unit split, unit distribution, reverse unit split, reclassification
or similar event, in each case with such adjustment being determined by the Board of Managers) or (2) all of the remaining Common Units
held by such Tendering Party or Non-Corporation Terminating Member;
(ii)
if the Company makes a distribution to Members following 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the Valuation Date and prior to the delivery
or payment of Class A Shares Amount or the Cash Amount, as applicable, which distribution was not publicly announced prior to such Valuation
Date, then the Class A Shares Amount or the Cash Amount to be received or paid, as applicable, shall be reduced by the amount received
by the Tendering Party or the Non-Corporation Terminating Member in respect of the Acquired Units in such distribution (provided that
if a Tendering Party or the Non-Corporation Terminating Member is receiving both Class A Shares Amount and Cash Amount in connection with
one or more transactions contemplated by this Article XIII, then such reduction will, unless otherwise determined by the Corporation,
be pro rata among the Class A Shares Amount and Cash Amount (based on each such amount immediately prior to giving effect to such reduction));
(iii) if
(1) a Tendering Party surrenders Tendered Units during the period after the Company Record Date with respect to a distribution
payable to Members holding Common Units, and before the record date established by Corporation for a dividend to its stockholders of
some or all of its portion of such Company distribution, and (2) the Board of Managers elects to redeem any of such Tendered
Units in exchange for Class A Shares pursuant to Section 13.1(b), then such Tendering Party shall pay to the
Company an amount in cash equal to the dividend from the Corporation that he, she or it will be entitled to receive with respect to
such distribution and record date in respect of the Class A Shares received in respect of such Tendered Units;
(iv)
the consummation of such Redemption, Termination Transaction Redemption or such Corporation Unit Acquisition shall be subject to
the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period, if any, under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976
or, as determined by the Board of Managers, satisfaction of any other required antitrust or competition Laws;
(v)
the Tendering Party or the Terminating Non-Corporation Member shall continue to own (subject , in the case of an Assignee to the
provisions of Section 10.5) all Common Units subject to any Redemption or Corporation Unit Acquisition, and be treated as a Non-Corporation
Member or an Assignee, as applicable, with respect to such Common Units for all purposes hereof, until the Specified Redemption Date and
until such Tendered Units are redeemed, acquired or exchanged, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 13.1;
(vi)
until the Specified Redemption Date, the Tendering Party or the Terminating Non-Corporation Member shall have no rights as a stockholder
of Corporation with respect to the Class A Shares issuable in connection with any Corporation Unit Acquisition;
(vii)
following the expiration of the Lock-up Period, the Board of Managers shall establish a Specified Redemption Date in each quarter
of each Fiscal Year, provided that (1) the Board of Managers may postpone any such date one or more times, (2) the Board of Managers
shall provide notice to the Members of each Specified Redemption Date at least forty-five (45) days prior to such Specified Redemption
Date and (3) the Board of Managers may, in its sole discretion, establish additional or other Specified Redemption Dates on such terms
and conditions as determined by the Board of Managers in its sole discretion, if it determines that doing so would not create a non De
Minimis risk that the Company would become a “publicly traded partnership,” as such term is defined in Section 469(k)(2)
or Section 7704(b) of the Code;
(viii) the
Tendering Party or the Terminating Non-Corporation Member shall deliver to the Corporation or the Company, as applicable, a
certificate, dated as of the date of the Redemption and sworn under penalties of perjury, in a form reasonably acceptable to the
Corporation or the Company, as applicable, certifying as to such Tendering Party’s or the Terminating Non-Corporation
Member’s taxpayer identification number and, to the extent applicable, that such Tendering Party or the Terminating
Non-Corporation Member is a not a “foreign person” for purposes of Section 1445 and Section 1446(f) of the Code (which
certificate may be an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 if then sufficient for such purposes under applicable Law); provided
that if such Tendering Party or the Terminating Non-Corporation Member does not certify as to the foregoing, the sole remedy of the
Corporation or the Company, as applicable, shall be to withhold any required taxes with respect to such Tendering Party or the
Terminating Non-Corporation Member pursuant to Section 13.1(e); provided, further, that if the amount required
to be withheld exceeds the Cash Amount to be paid to the Tendering Party or the Terminating Non-Corporation Member in connection
with such exchange, then, if requested by the Company or the Corporation, as applicable, the Tendering Party or the Non-Terminating
Member shall pay to the Company or the Corporation, as applicable, an amount of cash equal to any such excess amount as a condition
to the exchange (and such cash shall reduce the amount of taxes withheld by the Corporation or the Company, as applicable);
(ix)
in connection with any Redemption, Termination Transaction Redemption or Corporation Unit Acquisition, a number of Class B Shares
shall automatically and without any further consideration be surrendered and cancelled in accordance with the Charter;
(x)
for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes, each of the Tendering Party or the Terminating Non-Corporation
Member, the Company and the Corporation agree to treat each Corporation Unit Acquisition as a sale by the Tendering Party or the Terminating
Non-Corporation Member of their respective Common Units (together with the Class B Shares) to the Corporation in exchange for the issuance
or payment by the Corporation of the Class A Shares Amount or the Cash Amount; and
(xi)
in connection with any Redemption, Termination Transaction Redemption or Corporation Unit Acquisition, upon the acceptance of the
Class A Shares Amount or the Cash Amount, the Tendering Party or the Terminating Non-Corporation Member shall represent and warrant that
the Tendering Party or the Terminating Non-Corporation Member, as applicable, is the owner of the number of Common Units and Class B Shares
the Tendering Party is electing to have the Company redeem or in the case of the Terminating Non-Corporation Member, for which the Company
has determined shall be redeemed, and that such Common Units and Class B Shares are not subject to any liens or restrictions to transfer
the securities (other than restrictions imposed hereby or by the Charter, as applicable).
(d) The
Board of Managers may (i) impose additional limitations and restrictions on Redemptions (including limiting Redemptions or creating
priority procedures for Redemptions) or (ii) require any Member or group of Members to redeem all of their Common Units, in each
case to the extent it reasonably determines, based on written advice from a nationally-recognized law firm or accounting firm at a
“will” level, and with the prior written consent of the Non-Corporation Members (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed), that such limitations and restrictions are, or such Redemption is, as applicable, necessary to
avoid the Company being classified as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code.
Upon delivery of any notice by the Board of Managers to such Member or group of Members requiring such Redemption (which notice
shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be delivered after the Non-Corporation Member’s written consent shall have been obtained
and which shall be accompanied by the written advice from a nationally-recognized law firm or accounting firm referred to above),
such Member or group of Members shall be treated as having exercised their rights pursuant to Section 13.1(a)(i) to redeem
all of their Common Units in a Redemption on such date (and such date shall be deemed to be a Specified Redemption Date for purposes
hereof).
(e)
Each of the Company and the Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable
upon a Redemption such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or any provision of applicable Law,
and to the extent deduction and withholding is required, such deduction and withholding may be taken in Class A Shares in the sole discretion
of the Board of Managers. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority (or, if taken in
Class A Shares, cash in the amount of the fair market value of such shares is paid over to the appropriate taxing authority), such amounts
will be treated for purposes hereof as having been paid to the Tendering Party.

breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without posting a

in equity. Each of the Members agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other

right, privilege or remedy, and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or

EXAMPLES REGARDING ADJUSTMENT FACTOR
For purposes of the following examples, it is assumed
that (a) the Adjustment Factor in effect on December 31, 2022 is 1.0 and (b) on January 1, 2023 (the “Corporation
Record Date” for purposes of these examples), prior to the events described in the examples, there are 100 Class A Shares
issued and outstanding.
Example 1
On the Corporation Record Date, the Corporation
declares a dividend on its outstanding Class A Shares in Class A Shares with no correlative distribution to the Members. The
amount of the dividend is one Class A Share in respect of each Class A Share owned as of the Corporation Record Date. Pursuant
to Paragraph (a) of the definition of “Adjustment Factor” the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted on the Corporation
Record Date, effective immediately after the stock dividend is made, as follows:
1.0 * 200/100 = 2.0
Accordingly, the Adjustment Factor after the stock
dividend is made is 2.0.
Example 2
On the Corporation Record Date, the Corporation
distributes options to purchase Class A Shares to all holders of its Class A Shares with no correlative distribution to the
Members. The amount of the distribution is one option to acquire one Class A Share in respect of each Class A Share owned. The
strike price is $4.00 a share and the options are fully exercisable at the time of distribution. The Value of a Class A Share on
the Corporation Record Date is $5.00 per share. Pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of “Adjustment Factor,”
the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted on the Corporation Record Date, effective immediately after the options are distributed, as follows:
1.0 * (100 + 100)/(100 + 100 * $4.00/$5.00)
= 1.1111
Accordingly, the Adjustment Factor after the options
are distributed is 1.1111. If the options expire or become no longer exercisable, then the retroactive adjustment specified in Paragraph (b) of
the definition of “Adjustment Factor” shall apply.
EXHIBIT B

Article
II
DETERMINATION OF REALIZED TAX BENEFIT
Section 2.01
Basis Adjustments; 754 Election.
(a)
Basis Adjustments. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Parties shall
treat (i) each Redemption as a direct purchase of Units by PubCo from the applicable TRA Party pursuant to Section 707(a)(2)(B) of the
Code (or any similar provisions of applicable state, local or foreign tax law) and (ii) each Basis Transaction as a transaction that gives
rise to Basis Adjustments. For the avoidance of doubt, payments made under this Agreement shall not be treated as resulting in a Basis
Adjustment to the extent such payments are treated as Imputed Interest.
(b)
754 Election. PubCo shall cause GT LLC and any of its Subsidiaries that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income
tax purposes to have in effect an election under Section 754 of the Code (or any similar provisions of applicable state, local or foreign
tax law) for each Taxable Year. PubCo shall take commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Person in which GT LLC owns a direct or
indirect equity interest (other than a Subsidiary) that is so treated as a partnership to have in effect any such election for each Taxable
Year.
Section 2.02
Basis Schedules. Within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the filing of the U.S. federal income Tax Return of
PubCo for each relevant Taxable Year, PubCo shall prepare and deliver to the TRA Parties a schedule showing, in reasonable detail, (a)
the Non-Adjusted Tax Basis of the Reference Property as of each applicable Basis Transaction Date, (b) the Basis Adjustments to the Reference
Property for such Taxable Year, calculated (i) in the aggregate and (ii) solely with respect to each applicable TRA Party, (c) the periods
over which the Reference Property are amortizable or depreciable and (d) the period over which each Basis Adjustment is amortizable or
depreciable (such schedule, a “Basis Schedule”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Basis Schedule shall reflect all
changes in the bases of Reference Property arising other than from a Basis Adjustment (e.g., as the result of an audit). A Basis Schedule
will become final and binding on the Parties pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(a) and may be amended by the Parties
pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(b). All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of the Basis
Schedules or Tax Benefit Schedules under this Agreement shall be borne by GT LLC.
Section 2.03
Tax Benefit Schedules.
(a)
Tax Benefit Schedule. Within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the filing of the PubCo Return for any Taxable
Year for which there is a Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment, PubCo shall provide to the TRA Parties a schedule showing, in
reasonable detail, (i) the calculation of the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year, (ii) the calculation
of any payment to be made to the TRA Parties pursuant to Article III with respect to such Taxable Year and (iii) all requested supporting
information pursuant to Section 2.04(a) of this Agreement reasonably necessary to support the calculation of such payment (a “Tax
Benefit Schedule”). The Tax Benefit Schedule will become final as provided in Section 2.04(a) and may be amended as provided
in Section 2.04(b) (subject to the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(a)).
(b) Applicable
Principles. Subject to the provisions hereunder, the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for each Taxable Year is
intended to measure the decrease or increase in the Actual Tax Liability of PubCo for such Taxable Year attributable to the Basis
Adjustments and Imputed Interest, as determined using a “with and without” methodology. Carryovers or carrybacks of any
tax item attributable to any Basis Adjustment or Imputed Interest shall be considered to be subject to the rules of the Code and the
Treasury Regulations, and the appropriate provisions of state, local and foreign tax law, governing the use, limitation or
expiration of carryovers or carrybacks of the relevant type. If a carryover or carryback of any tax item includes a portion that is
attributable to a Basis Adjustment or Imputed Interest (a “TRA Portion”) and another portion that is not
attributable to a Basis Adjustment or Imputed Interest (a “Non-TRA Portion”), such portions shall be considered
to be used in accordance with the “with and without” methodology so that (i) the amount of any Non-TRA Portion is deemed
utilized first, followed by the amount of any TRA Portion (with the TRA Portion being applied on a proportionate basis consistent
with the provisions of Section 3.03(a)) and (ii) in the case of a carryback of a Non-TRA Portion, such carryback shall not affect
the original “with and without” calculation made in the prior Taxable Year. Except with respect to the portion of any
payment attributable to Imputed Interest, all Tax Benefit Payments and payments of Default Rate Interest (and including Extension
Rate Interest) will be treated as subsequent upward purchase price adjustments that give rise to further Basis Adjustments for PubCo
beginning in the Taxable Year of payment, and as a result, such additional Basis Adjustments will be incorporated into such Taxable
Year and into future Taxable Years, as appropriate.
Section 2.04
Procedures, Amendments.
(a)
Procedure. Whenever PubCo delivers to the TRA Parties an applicable Schedule under this Agreement, including any Amended
Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 2.04(b), Early Termination Schedule or amended Early Termination Schedule, PubCo shall also (x)
deliver to the TRA Parties, at their request (and upon reasonable notice), any schedules, valuation reports and work papers providing
reasonable detail regarding the preparation of the Schedule and (y) allow the TRA Parties and their respective advisors reasonable access
at no cost to the appropriate representatives of each of PubCo and/or the Advisory Firm in connection with a review of such Schedule.
Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, PubCo shall ensure that any Tax Benefit Schedule that is delivered to the TRA
Parties, along with any supporting schedules and work papers, provides a reasonably detailed presentation of the calculation of the Actual
Tax Liability of PubCo for the relevant Taxable Year and the Hypothetical Tax Liability of PubCo for such Taxable Year, and identifies
any material assumptions or operating procedures or principles that were used for purposes of such calculations. The applicable Schedule
shall become final and binding on all Parties on the thirtieth (30th) calendar day after the TRA Parties receive such Schedule, unless:
(i)
a TRA Party provides PubCo with notice prior to such thirtieth (30th) calendar day after receipt of such Schedule of a material
objection, made in good faith, to such Schedule (“Objection Notice”); or
(ii)
each TRA Party provides a written waiver of its right to deliver an Objection Notice within the time period described in clause
(i) above, in which case such Schedule or amendment thereto becomes binding on the date the waiver from all TRA Parties is received by
PubCo.
If the Parties, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve
the issues raised in any Objection Notice within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt by PubCo of such Objection Notice, PubCo and the
TRA Parties shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures.
(b) Amended
Schedule. The applicable Schedule for any Taxable Year may be amended from time to time by PubCo (i) in connection with a
Determination affecting such Schedule, (ii) to correct material inaccuracies in the Schedule identified as a result of the receipt
of additional factual information relating to a Taxable Year after the date the Schedule was provided to the TRA Parties, (iii) to
comply with the Expert’s determination under the Reconciliation Procedures, (iv) to reflect a material change (relative to the
amounts in the original Schedule) in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to an
amended Tax Return filed for such Taxable Year, (v) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for
such Taxable Year attributable to a carryback or carryforward of a loss or other tax item to such Taxable Year; or (vi) to adjust a
Basis Schedule to take into account any Tax Benefit Payments made pursuant to this Agreement (such amended Schedule, an
“Amended Schedule”). PubCo shall provide any Amended Schedule to the TRA Parties within thirty (30) calendar days
of the occurrence of an event referred to in clauses (i) through (vi) of the preceding sentence, and any such Amended Schedule shall
be subject to the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(a).
(c)
LLC Agreement. This Agreement shall be treated as part of the partnership agreement of GT LLC as described in Section 761(c)
of the Code and Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(h) and 1.761-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations.
Article
III
TAX BENEFIT PAYMENTS
Section 3.01
Payments.
(a)
Except as provided in Section 3.02 and Section 3.03, within ten (10) Business Days of a Tax Benefit Schedule with respect to a
Taxable Year becoming final in accordance with Section 2.04(a) (such date, the “Final Payment Date” in respect of any
Tax Benefit Payment), PubCo shall pay to each relevant TRA Party the Tax Benefit Payment for such Taxable Year determined pursuant to
Section 3.01(b). Each such Tax Benefit Payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account previously
designated by the applicable TRA Party to PubCo or as otherwise agreed by PubCo and the applicable TRA Party. For the avoidance of doubt,
no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of estimated tax payments, including, without limitation, estimated U.S. federal income
tax payments. The TRA Parties shall not be required under any circumstances to return any portion of any Tax Benefit Payment, Early Termination
Payment or Default Rate Interest previously paid by PubCo to the TRA Parties.
(b)
Amount of Payments. A “Tax Benefit Payment” with respect to
any TRA Party shall be an amount equal to the sum of the Net Tax Benefit that is Attributable to such TRA Party and the Extension Rate
Interest.
(i)
Attributable. A Net Tax Benefit is “Attributable” to a TRA Party to the extent that it is derived from
any Basis Adjustment or Imputed Interest that is attributable to a Basis Transaction undertaken by or with respect to such TRA Party.
(ii) Net
Tax Benefit. The “Net Tax Benefit” with respect to a TRA Party for a Taxable Year equals the amount of the
excess, if any, of (A) 85% of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit Attributable to such TRA Party as of the end of such Taxable
Year over (B) the aggregate amount of all Tax Benefit Payments previously made to such TRA Party under this Section 3.01 (excluding
payments attributable to Extension Rate Interest). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit that is
Attributable to a TRA Party as of the end of any Taxable Year is less than the aggregate amount of all Tax Benefit Payments
previously made to such TRA Party, such TRA Party shall not be required to return any portion of any Tax Benefit Payment previously
made by PubCo to such TRA Party.
(iii)
Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit. The “Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit” for a Taxable Year equals
the cumulative amount of Realized Tax Benefits for all Taxable Years of PubCo, up to and including such Taxable Year, net of the cumulative
amount of Realized Tax Detriments for the same period. The Realized Tax Benefit and Realized Tax Detriment for each Taxable Year shall
be determined based on the most recent Tax Benefit Schedule or Amended Schedule, if any, in existence at the time of such determination.
(iv)
Realized Tax Benefit. The “Realized Tax Benefit” for a Taxable Year equals the excess, if any, of the
Hypothetical Tax Liability over the Actual Tax Liability for such Taxable Year. If all or a portion of the Actual Tax Liability for such
Taxable Year arises as a result of an audit or similar proceeding by a Taxing Authority of any Taxable Year, such liability shall not
be included in determining the Realized Tax Benefit unless and until there has been a Determination.
(v)
Realized Tax Detriment. The “Realized Tax Detriment” for a Taxable Year equals the excess, if any, of
the Actual Tax Liability over the Hypothetical Tax Liability for such Taxable Year. If all or a portion of the Actual Tax Liability for
such Taxable Year arises as a result of an audit or similar proceeding by a Taxing Authority of any Taxable Year, such liability shall
not be included in determining the Realized Tax Detriment unless and until there has been a Determination.
(vi)
Imputed Interest. The principles of Sections 1272, 1274 or 483 of the Code, as applicable, and the principles of any similar
provision of U.S. state, local or foreign law, will apply to cause a portion of any Net Tax Benefit payable by PubCo to a TRA Party under
this Agreement to be treated as imputed interest (“Imputed Interest”). For the avoidance of doubt, the deduction for
the amount of Imputed Interest as determined with respect to any Net Tax Benefit payable by PubCo to a TRA Party shall be excluded in
determining the Hypothetical Tax Liability of PubCo for purposes of calculating Realized Tax Benefits and Realized Tax Detriments pursuant
to this Agreement.
(vii)
Extension Rate Interest. The “Extension Rate Interest” calculated in respect of the Net Tax Benefit (including
previously accrued Imputed Interest for a Taxable Year) will equal interest calculated at the Agreed Rate from the due date (without extensions)
for filing the U.S. federal income Tax Return of PubCo for such Taxable Year until the date on which PubCo makes a timely Tax Benefit
Payment to the TRA Party on or before the Final Payment Date as determined pursuant to Section 3.01(a).
(viii) Default
Rate Interest. In the event that PubCo does not make timely payment of all or any portion of a Tax Benefit Payment to a TRA
Party on or before the Final Payment Date as determined pursuant to Section 3.01(a), the amount of “Default Rate
Interest” calculated in respect of the Net Tax Benefit (including previously accrued Imputed Interest and the Extension
Rate Interest) for a Taxable Year will equal interest calculated at the Default Rate from the Final Payment Date for a Tax Benefit
Payment as determined pursuant to Section 3.01(a) until the date on which PubCo makes such Tax Benefit Payment to such TRA Party.
For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of any Default Rate Interest as determined with respect to any Net Tax Benefit payable by
PubCo to a TRA Party shall be included in determining the Hypothetical Tax Liability of PubCo for purposes of calculating Realized
Tax Benefits and Realized Tax Detriments pursuant to this Agreement.
(c)
Interest. The provisions of Section 3.01(b) are intended to operate so that interest will effectively accrue for any Taxable
Year as follows:
(i)
first, at the applicable rate used to determine the amount of Imputed Interest under the Code (from the relevant Basis Transaction
Date until the due date (without extensions) for filing the U.S. federal income Tax Return of PubCo for such Taxable Year);
(ii)
second, at the Agreed Rate in respect of any Extension Rate Interest (from the due date (without extensions) for filing the U.S.
federal income Tax Return of PubCo for such Taxable Year until the Final Payment Date for a Tax Benefit Payment as determined pursuant
to Section 3.01(a)); and
(iii)
third, at the Default Rate in respect of any Default Rate Interest (from the Final Payment Date for a Tax Benefit Payment as determined
pursuant to Section 3.01(a) until the date on which PubCo makes the relevant Tax Benefit Payment to a TRA Party).
(d)
The Parties acknowledge and agree that, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the date of any future Basis Transaction that
may be subject to this Agreement, the timing, amount and aggregate value of the Tax Benefit Payments cannot be reasonably ascertained
for U.S. federal income or other applicable tax purposes.
Section 3.02
No Duplicative Payments. It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement will not result in duplicative payment of
any amount (including interest) required under this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in the appropriate
manner to ensure such intentions are realized.
Section 3.03
Pro-Ration of Payments as Among the TRA Parties.
(a) Insufficient
Taxable Income. Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.01(b) to the contrary, if the aggregate potential tax benefit of PubCo as
calculated with respect to the Basis Adjustments and Imputed Interest (in each case, without regard to the Taxable Year of
origination) is limited in a particular Taxable Year because PubCo does not have sufficient actual taxable income to utilize
available deductions fully in such Taxable Year, then the tax benefit for PubCo actually utilized in such Taxable Year shall be
allocated among the relevant TRA Parties in proportion to the respective Tax Benefit Payment that would have been payable if PubCo
had sufficient taxable income such that there was no limitation.
(b)
Late Payments. If for any reason PubCo is not able to timely and fully satisfy its payment obligations under this Agreement
in respect of a particular Taxable Year, then Default Rate Interest will begin to accrue pursuant to Section 5.01 and PubCo and other
Parties agree that (i) PubCo shall pay the Tax Benefit Payments (and any applicable Default Rate Interest) due in respect of such Taxable
Year to each relevant TRA Party pro rata in accordance with the principles of Section 3.03(a) and (ii) no Tax Benefit Payment shall be
made in respect of any Taxable Year until all Tax Benefit Payments (and any applicable Default Rate Interest) to all relevant TRA Parties
in respect of all prior Taxable Years have been made in full.
(c)
Excess Payment. To the extent PubCo makes a payment to a TRA Party in respect of a particular Taxable Year under Section
3.01(a) of this Agreement (taking into account Section 3.02 and Section 3.03) in an amount in excess of the amount of such payment that
should have been made to such TRA Party in respect of such Taxable Year, then (a) such TRA Party shall not receive further payments
under Section 3.01(a) until such TRA Party has foregone an amount of payments equal to such excess and (b) PubCo will pay the amount of
such TRA Party’s foregone payments to the other Persons to whom a payment is due under this Agreement in a manner such that each
such Person to whom a payment is due under this Agreement, to the maximum extent possible, receives aggregate payments under Section 3.01(a) (taking
into account Section 3.02 and Section 3.03) in the amount it would have received if there had been no excess payment to such TRA Party.
Article
IV

Section 4.01
Termination, Breach of Agreement, Change of Control.
(a)

(b)
Early Complete Termination. PubCo may elect to terminate this Agreement (an “Early Complete Termination”)
by (i) delivering to the TRA Parties notice of its intention to exercise such right (“Early Termination Notice”) and
(ii) paying to the TRA Parties (1) the Early Termination Payment, (2) any Tax Benefit Payment and Default Rate Interest agreed to by PubCo
and the TRA Parties as due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Notice and (3) any Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable
Year ending prior to, with or including the date of the Early Termination Effective Date (except to the extent that any amounts described
in clauses (2) or (3) are included in the Early Termination Payment).
(c)
Material Breach. In the event that PubCo breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement, whether as a result
of failure to make any payment when due (as described below), failure to honor any other material obligation required hereunder or by
operation of law as a result of the rejection of this Agreement in a case commenced under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise (“Material
Breach”), then all obligations hereunder shall be accelerated and PubCo shall pay to the TRA Parties (i) the Early Termination
Payment, (ii) any Tax Benefit Payment and Default Rate Interest agreed to by PubCo and the TRA Parties as due and payable, but unpaid
as of the Early Termination Notice and (iii) any Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending prior to, with or including the date
of the Early Termination Effective Date (except to the extent that any amounts described in clauses (ii) or (iii) are included in the
Early Termination Payment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that PubCo breaches this Agreement and such breach is a Material
Breach, the TRA Parties shall be entitled to elect to receive the amounts set forth in (i), (ii) and (iii) above or to seek specific performance
of the terms hereof. The Parties agree that the failure to make any payment pursuant to this Agreement within three (3) months of the
date such payment is due shall be deemed a Material Breach for all purposes of this Agreement, and that it will not be considered to be
a Material Breach to make a payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three (3) months of the date such payment is due, provided
that the interest provisions of Section 5.01 shall apply to such late payment (unless PubCo does not have sufficient funds to make such
payment as a result of limitations imposed by any Senior Obligations, in which case Section 5.01 shall apply, but the Default Rate shall
be replaced by the Agreed Rate), provided further that in the event that payment is not made within three (3) months of the date
such payment is due, a TRA Party shall be required to give written notice to PubCo that PubCo has breached its material obligations, and
so long as such payment is made within ten (10) Business Days of the delivery of such notice to PubCo, PubCo shall no longer be deemed
to be in Material Breach of its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it shall
not be a breach of a material obligation of this Agreement if PubCo fails to make any Tax Benefit Payment when due to the extent that
PubCo has insufficient funds to make such payment; provided, (x) PubCo has used reasonable efforts to obtain such funds and (y)
the interest provisions of Section 5.01 shall apply to such late payment (unless PubCo does not have sufficient funds to make such payment
as a result of limitations imposed by any Senior Obligations, in which case Section 5.02 shall apply); provided, further,
that PubCo shall promptly (and in any event, within ten (10) Business Days), pay all such unpaid payments, together with accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, immediately following such time that PubCo has, and to the extent PubCo has, sufficient funds to make such payment,
and the failure of PubCo to do so shall constitute a breach of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) all cash and cash equivalents
used or to be used to pay dividends by, or repurchase equity securities of, PubCo shall be deemed to be funds sufficient and available
to pay such unpaid payments, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and (ii) the immediately preceding sentence of this
Section 4.01(c) shall not apply to any payments due pursuant to an election by a TRA Party for the acceleration upon a Change of Control
contemplated by Section 4.01(d).
(d) Change
of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, then all obligations hereunder shall be accelerated and PubCo shall pay to the
TRA Parties (i) the Early Termination Payment, (ii) any Tax Benefit Payment and Default Rate Interest agreed to by PubCo and the TRA
Parties as due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Notice and (iii) any Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year
ending prior to, with or including the date of the Early Termination Effective Date (except to the extent that any amounts described
in clauses (ii) or (iii) are included in the Early Termination Payment).
Section 4.02
Early Termination Schedule. In the event of a Change of Control or a Material Breach, PubCo shall deliver to the TRA Parties,
as soon as reasonably practical, and in the case of an Early Complete Termination, contemporaneously with the Early Termination Notice,
a Schedule (the “Early Termination Schedule”) showing in reasonable detail the information required or requested pursuant
to the first sentence of Section 2.03 and the calculation of the Early Termination Payment. The Early Termination Schedule shall become
final and binding on all Parties unless a TRA Party, within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving the Early Termination Schedule,
provides PubCo with notice of a material objection to such Schedule made in good faith (“Termination Objection Notice”).
If the Parties for any reason are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such notice within thirty (30) calendar days after
receipt by PubCo of the Termination Objection Notice, PubCo and the TRA Parties shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures. The date on
which such Early Termination Schedule becomes final shall be the “Early Termination Reference Date”.
Section 4.03
Payment upon Early Termination.
(a)
Timing of Payment. Within ten (10) Business Days after the Early Termination Reference Date (such date, the “Final
Payment Date” in respect of any Early Termination Payment), PubCo shall pay to each relevant TRA Party an amount equal to the
Early Termination Payment for such TRA Party and any other payment required to be made pursuant to Section 4.01(b), Section 4.01(c) and
Section 4.01(d). Such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by
the applicable TRA Party to PubCo or as otherwise agreed by PubCo and the TRA Party.
(b)
Amount of Payment. The “Early Termination Payment,” as of the Early Termination Effective Date, shall
equal with respect to the relevant TRA Party the present value, discounted at the Early Termination Rate as of the applicable Early Termination
Reference Date, of all Tax Benefit Payments that would be required to be paid by PubCo to such TRA Party beginning from the Early Termination
Effective Date, applying the Valuation Assumptions. For purposes of calculating the present value pursuant to this Section 4.03(b) of
all Tax Benefit Payments that would be required to be paid, it shall be assumed that absent the Early Termination Event all Tax Benefit
Payments would be paid on the due date (without extensions) for filing the PubCo Return with respect to Taxes for each Taxable Year. The
computation of the Early Termination Payment is subject to the Reconciliation Procedures.
Article
V
LATE PAYMENTS, ETC.
Section 5.01
Late Payments by PubCo. The amount of all or any portion of any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment that is
required to be made by PubCo to the TRA Parties under this Agreement but is not made by the applicable Final Payment Date shall be payable
together with any interest thereon, computed at the Default Rate and commencing from the applicable Final Payment Date.
Section 5.02
Subordination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any payment required to be made by
PubCo to the TRA Parties under this Agreement shall rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to any principal, interest or other
amounts due and payable in respect of any obligations owed in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money (whether secured or unsecured,
whether senior or subordinated and whether evidenced by bonds, notes or other debt instruments) of PubCo and any of its Subsidiaries (“Senior
Obligations”) and shall rank pari passu in right of payment with all current or future obligations of PubCo that are
not Senior Obligations.
Article
VI
CONSISTENCY; COOPERATION
Section 6.01
The TRA Parties’ Participation in PubCo Tax Matters. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the LLC Agreement,
PubCo shall have full responsibility for, and sole discretion over, all tax matters concerning PubCo, including without limitation the
preparation, filing or amending of any Tax Return and defending, contesting or settling any issue pertaining to Taxes, and certain tax
matters concerning GT LLC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) PubCo shall promptly notify the TRA Parties of, and keep the TRA Parties
reasonably informed with respect to, the portion of any audit of PubCo or GT LLC by a Taxing Authority the outcome of which is reasonably
expected to materially affect any TRA Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (ii) for so long as Amber GT (or any
of its Affiliates) is a party to this Agreement, Amber GT (or such Affiliate) shall have the right to participate in and to monitor at
its own expense (but not to control) any portion of any audit of PubCo or GT LLC by a Taxing Authority the outcome of which is reasonably
expected to materially affect Amber GT’s (or such Affiliate’s) rights and obligations under this Agreement and PubCo shall
(A) provide to Amber GT (or such Affiliate) reasonable opportunity to provide information and other input to PubCo and its advisors concerning
the conduct of any such portion of such audit and (B) not settle or fail to contest any issue in any such portion of such audit without
the prior written consent of Amber GT (or such Affiliate), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided,
however, that PubCo shall not be required to take any action in connection with such audit that is inconsistent with any provision of
this Agreement or the LLC Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent a TRA Party became a party to this Agreement pursuant to
Section 7.06, such TRA Party shall not have any right to participate in any audit under this Section 6.01.
Section 6.02
Consistency. PubCo and each TRA Party agrees to report and cause to be reported for all purposes, including U.S. federal,
state and local tax purposes and financial reporting purposes, all tax-related items (including, without limitation, the Basis Adjustments
and each Tax Benefit Payment) in a manner consistent with that contemplated by this Agreement or specified by PubCo in any Schedule required
to be provided by or on behalf of PubCo under this Agreement unless otherwise required by law. PubCo shall (and shall cause GT LLC and
its Subsidiaries to) use commercially reasonable efforts (for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account the interests and entitlements
of all TRA Parties under this Agreement) to defend the tax treatment contemplated by this Agreement and any Schedule in any audit, contest
or similar proceeding with any Taxing Authority.
Section 6.03
Cooperation. Each of PubCo, GT LLC and the TRA Parties shall (i) furnish to the other Parties in a timely manner such information,
documents and other materials as (A) the other Parties may reasonably request for purposes of making or approving any determination or
computation necessary or appropriate under this Agreement, preparing any Tax Return or contesting or defending any audit, examination
or controversy with any Taxing Authority in respect of the matters covered by this Agreement or (B) in the case of any proposed assignment
by Amber GT (or any of its Affiliates that is a party to this Agreement) in accordance with Section 7.06(a), the applicable TRA Party
may reasonably request in connection with such assignment (provided that Amber GT and its Affiliates, collectively, may only make
one request pursuant to this clause (B) within a given calendar year), (ii) make itself reasonably available to the other Parties and
their respective representatives to provide explanations of documents and materials and such other information as the requesting Parties
or their respective representatives may reasonably request in connection with any of the matters described in clause (i) above, and (iii)
reasonably cooperate in connection with any such matter, and the requesting Party shall reimburse the other Parties for any reasonable
and documented third party costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this Section 6.03.

Section 7.02
Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. 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 hereof in .pdf format via
email shall be effective as delivery of an original counterpart hereof.
Section 7.03 Entire
Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, together with any exhibits and schedules attached hereto, sets forth
the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous
understandings and agreements related thereto (whether written or oral), all of which are merged herein. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party hereto and its respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in
this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any
nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
Section 7.04
Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or statute) that may be based
upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or
cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or
as inducement to enter into this Agreement), shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws (both substantive
and procedural) of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.
Section 7.05
Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective
and valid under applicable law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under
applicable law, all other provisions of this Agreement 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. Upon such determination that any
term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, the Parties shall negotiate in good
faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order
that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
Section 7.06
Assignment; Amendments; Successors; Waivers.
(a) Assignment.
No TRA Party may assign, sell, pledge or otherwise alienate or transfer any interest in this Agreement, including the right to
receive any payment under this Agreement, to any Person without the prior written consent of PubCo, which consent may be withheld in
PubCo’s reasonable discretion, and without such Person executing and delivering a Joinder agreeing to succeed to the
applicable portion of such TRA Party’s interest in this Agreement and to become a Party for all purposes of this Agreement
(the “Joinder Requirement”); provided, however, that to the extent any TRA Party sells, exchanges,
distributes or otherwise transfers Units to any Person (other than PubCo or GT LLC) in accordance with the terms of the LLC
Agreement, such TRA Party shall have the option to assign (which assignment shall not, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to
PubCo’s consent) to the transferee of such Units its rights under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Units.
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, from and after such time as a TRA Party has transferred Units to PubCo or GT LLC
in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement, such TRA Party may assign (which assignment shall not, for the avoidance of
doubt, be subject to PubCo’s consent) its rights hereunder to any Person that satisfies the Joinder Requirement, provided that
such TRA Party has first offered to assign such rights to PubCo and PubCo has declined such offer (provided, that if PubCo fails to
affirmatively accept or decline such offer within ten (10) Business Days, PubCo shall be deemed to have declined such offer). PubCo
may not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any Person without the prior written consent of the TRA
Parties (which consent may be withheld in their reasonable discretion), and any purported assignment without such consent shall be
null and void. The transferee and transferor of any Transfer permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 7.06
shall ensure that PubCo is provided with a copy (which may be by PDF) of the fully executed instrument of Transfer, which instrument
must clearly identify the name of the transferor and transferee and the number of Units being transferred, within five (5) days of
the effective date of such Transfer. Any Transfer, or attempted Transfer in violation of this Agreement, including any failure of a
purported transferee to enter into a Joinder to this Agreement or to provide any forms or other information to the extent required
hereunder, shall be null and void, and shall not bind or be recognized by PubCo or the TRA Parties. PubCo shall be entitled to treat
the record owner of any rights under this Agreement as the absolute owner thereof and shall incur no liability for payments made in
good faith to such owner until such time as a written assignment of such rights is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of
this Section 7.06 and has been recorded on the books of PubCo.
(b)
Amendments. This Agreement cannot be amended, supplemented or modified, except by a writing signed by each of PubCo and
the TRA Parties.
(c)
Successors. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall
be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. PubCo
shall require and cause any direct or indirect successor (whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially
all of the business or assets of PubCo, by written agreement, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner
and to the same extent that PubCo would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.
(d)
Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be waived unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Party against whom
the waiver is to be enforced, and any such waiver shall apply only in the particular instance in which such waiver shall have be given.
Neither any failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or in requiring satisfaction of any condition herein nor any
course of dealing shall constitute a waiver of or prevent any Party from enforcing any right or remedy or from requiring satisfaction
of any condition. No notice to or demand on a Party waives or otherwise affects any obligation of that Party or impairs any right of the
Party giving such notice or making such demand, including any right to take any action without notice or demand not otherwise required
by this Agreement.
Section 7.07
Exclusive Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a)
Except for Reconciliation Disputes subject to Section 7.08, each Party 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 the State of Delaware). Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by
way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Action or cause thereof against such Party (i) arising under this Agreement
or (ii) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby, (1) any claim that such Party is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts as described in this Section
7.07 for any reason, (2) that such Party or such Party’s property is exempt or immune from the 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 (iii) that (1) the Action or cause thereof in any such court is brought
against such Party in an inconvenient forum, (2) the venue of such Action or cause thereof against such Party is improper or (3) this
Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced against such Party in or by such courts. Each Party agrees that service of
any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to such Party’s respective address set forth in Section 7.01 shall be
effective service of process for any such Action, demand, or cause thereof.
(b)
EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY PROCEEDING, CLAIM, DEMAND,
ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS
OF THE PARTIES IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY,
OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING, 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 7.07(b).
Section 7.08 Reconciliation.
In the event that PubCo and any of the TRA Parties are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to a Schedule prepared in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04 or Section 4.02 within the relevant period designated in this Agreement, or
any other disagreement regarding the calculation of Tax Benefit Payments, the treatment of transactions for tax purposes or any
similar matter the resolution of which requires substantial tax expertise (a “Reconciliation Dispute”), the
Reconciliation Dispute shall be submitted by the applicable Parties for determination to a nationally recognized expert (the
“Expert”) in the particular area of disagreement mutually acceptable to the applicable Parties. The Expert shall
be a partner in a nationally recognized accounting firm or a law firm (other than the Advisory Firm), and the Expert shall not, and
the firm that employs the Expert shall not, have any material relationship with PubCo or the TRA Parties or other actual or
potential conflict of interest. If the applicable Parties are unable to agree on an Expert within fifteen (15) calendar days after
any of the applicable Parties have provided the other applicable Parties with written notice of a Reconciliation Dispute, the Expert
shall be appointed by the International Chamber of Commerce Centre for Expertise. The Expert shall resolve any matter relating to
the Early Termination Schedule or an amendment thereto within thirty (30) calendar days, and shall resolve any matter relating to a
Tax Benefit Schedule or an amendment thereto within fifteen (15) calendar days, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable,
in each case after the matter has been submitted to the Expert for resolution. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the matter
is not resolved before any payment that is the subject of a disagreement is due or any Tax Return reflecting the subject of a
disagreement is due, such payment shall be made on the date prescribed by this Agreement and such Tax Return may be filed as
prepared by PubCo, subject to adjustment or amendment upon resolution. The costs and expenses related to the engagement of such
Expert or amending any Tax Return shall be borne by PubCo, except as provided in the next sentence. Each of PubCo and the applicable
TRA Parties shall bear their own costs and expenses of such proceeding. Any dispute as to whether a dispute is a Reconciliation
Dispute within the meaning of this Section 7.08 shall be decided by the Expert. The Expert shall finally determine any
Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this Section 7.08 shall be binding on PubCo and the
applicable TRA Parties and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.
Section 7.09
Withholding. PubCo shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts
as PubCo reasonably believes it is required to deduct and withhold as a result of the execution of this Agreement or with respect to the
making of such payment, in each case, under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law, provided that PubCo shall have
first notified the applicable TRA Party of its intent to deduct or withhold, and PubCo and the applicable TRA Party shall have discussed
in good faith whether such taxes can be mitigated to the extent permitted under applicable law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld
and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority by PubCo, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement
as having been paid to the relevant TRA Party in respect of whom the deduction and withholding was made. PubCo shall provide evidence
of such payment to the TRA Parties to the extent that such evidence is available. Each TRA Party shall promptly provide PubCo with any
applicable tax forms and certifications reasonably requested by PubCo in connection with determining whether any such deductions and withholdings
are required by applicable law.
Section 7.10
Affiliated Corporations; Admission of PubCo into a Consolidated Group; Transfers of Corporate Assets.
(a)
If PubCo is or becomes a member of an affiliated or consolidated group of corporations that files a consolidated income Tax Return
pursuant to Sections 1501 et seq. of the Code or a similar provision of state or local law (other than if PubCo becomes a member of such
a group as a result of a Change of Control, in which case the provisions of Article IV shall control), then: (i) the provisions of this
Agreement shall be applied with respect to the group as a whole and (ii) Tax Benefit Payments and Early Termination Payments shall be
computed with reference to the consolidated taxable income of the group as a whole.
(b)
If any Person, the income of which is included in the income of PubCo’s affiliated or consolidated group, transfers one or
more assets to a corporation or any Person treated as such for tax purposes with which such entity does not file a consolidated Tax Return
pursuant to Section 1501 et seq. of the Code, for purposes of calculating the amount of any Tax Benefit Payment (e.g., calculating the
gross income of PubCo’s affiliated or consolidated group and determining the Realized Tax Benefit) due hereunder, such Person shall
be treated as having disposed of such asset in a fully taxable transaction on the date of such contribution. The consideration deemed
to be received by such entity shall be determined as if such transfer occurred on an arm’s-length basis with an unrelated third
party. For purposes of this Section 7.10, a transfer of a partnership interest shall be treated as a transfer of the transferring partner’s
applicable share of each of the assets and liabilities of that partnership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein,
if PubCo or any other entity that is obligated to make a Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment hereunder transfers its assets
pursuant to a transaction that qualifies as a “reorganization” (within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code) in which
such entity does not survive or pursuant to any other transaction to which Section 381(a) of the Code applies, the transfer will not cause
such entity to be treated as having transferred any assets to a corporation (or a Person classified as a corporation for U.S. income tax
purposes) pursuant to this Section 7.10(b).
Section 7.11
Change in Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, in connection with an actual or proposed change in law,
a TRA Party reasonably believes that the existence of this Agreement could cause material adverse tax consequences to such TRA Party or
any direct or indirect owner of such TRA Party, then at the written election of such TRA Party in its sole discretion (in an instrument
signed by such TRA Party and delivered to PubCo) and to the extent specified therein by such TRA Party, this Agreement shall cease to
have further effect and shall not apply to any Basis Transactions occurring after a date specified by such TRA Party, or may be amended
in a manner reasonably determined by such TRA Party, provided that such amendment shall not result in an increase in any payments owed
by PubCo under this Agreement at any time as compared to the amounts and times of payments that would have been due in the absence of
such amendment.
Section 7.12 Interest
Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the interest paid or agreed to be paid hereunder
with respect to amounts due to any TRA Party hereunder shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by
applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any TRA Party shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the
Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment, as applicable (but in
each case exclusive of any component thereof comprising interest) or, if it exceeds such unpaid non-interest amount, refunded to
PubCo. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by any TRA Party exceeds the Maximum Rate, such TRA
Party may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or
premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and
spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the payment obligations owed by
PubCo to such TRA Party hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Parties to conform strictly to any
applicable usury laws.
Section 7.13
Independent Nature of Rights and Obligations. The rights and obligations of each TRA Party hereunder are several and not
joint with the rights and obligations of any other Person. A TRA Party shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the
obligations of any other Person hereunder, nor shall a TRA Party have the right to enforce the rights or obligations of any other Person
hereunder (other than PubCo). The obligations of a TRA Party hereunder are solely for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable solely
by, PubCo. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any TRA Party
pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the TRA Parties acting as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or
any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the TRA Parties are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to
such rights or obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby, and PubCo acknowledges that the TRA Parties are not acting in concert
or as a group and will not assert any such claim with respect to such rights or obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby.

FORM OF JOINDER AGREEMENT
This JOINDER AGREEMENT, dated as of [•], 20__
(this “Joinder”), is delivered pursuant to that certain Tax Receivable Agreement, dated as of [·], 2021 (as amended,
restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Tax Receivable Agreement”)
by and among [Caritas], Inc., (f/k/a ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV), a Delaware corporation (“PubCo”), [Amber GT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the

the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
Section 1.
Board of Directors.
(a) (i) From and after the Effective Time and until the Amber 15% Stockholder Termination Event shall have occurred, Amber
GT Parent shall have the right to designate one (1) Designee to be appointed or nominated, as the case may be, as a Class I director of
the Board and one (1) Designee to be appointed or nominated, as the case may be, as a Class II director of the Board (or, if the Board
does not contain classes, two (2) individuals to be appointed or nominated, as the case may be, to the Board), in connection with any
meeting of the stockholders of the Company called (or written consent of the stockholders) with respect to the election of such Directors
classes, and the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, take all necessary and reasonably desirable actions within its control (including,
without limitation, nominating such Designee as a Director, calling special meetings of the Board and the stockholders of the Company
and recommending, supporting and soliciting proxies in favor of such Designees), such that there is one (1) Amber GT Parent Designee serving
as a Class I director on the Board and one (1) Amber GT Parent Designee serving as a Class II director on the Board (or, if the Board
does not contain classes, two (2) Amber GT Parent Designees serving as members of the Board) at all times prior to the occurrence of the
Amber 15% Stockholder Termination Event and (ii) from and after the time that an Amber 15% Stockholder Termination Event has occurred
and until the Amber 5% Stockholder Termination Event shall have occurred, Amber GT Parent shall have the right to designate one (1) Designee
to be appointed or nominated, as the case may be, as a Class II director of the Board (or, if the Board does not contain classes, one
(1) Amber GT Parent Designee serving as a member of the Board), in connection with any meeting of the stockholders of the Company called
(or written consent of the stockholders) with respect to the election of Directors, and the Company shall, as promptly as practicable,
take all necessary and reasonably desirable actions within its control (including, without limitation, nominating such Designee as a Director,
calling special meetings of the Board and the stockholders of the Company and recommending, supporting and soliciting proxies in favor
of such Designee), such that there is one (1) Amber GT Parent Designee serving as a Class II director on the Board (or, if the Board does
not contain classes, one (1) Amber GT Parent Designee serving as member of the Board) at all times prior to the occurrence of the Amber
5% Stockholder Termination Event. If (A) a vacancy on the Board occurs because of the death, disability, disqualification, resignation
or removal of an Amber GT Parent Director and (B) Amber GT Parent has the right to designate such Director seat pursuant to this Agreement,
then Amber GT Parent shall be entitled to designate a Designee to replace the Amber GT Parent Director that vacated the Board due to death,
disability, disqualification, resignation or removal, and the Company will, within ten (10) Business Days of such designation of such
Designee, take all necessary and reasonably desirable actions within its control such that such vacancy shall be filled with such replacement
Designee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any Director position vacated by an Amber GT Parent Director because of such Director’s
death, disability, disqualification, resignation or removal shall not be filled pending any such designation and appointment by Amber
GT Parent unless Amber GT Parent fails to designate a Designee within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the Company
notifying it that such vacancy has occurred, in which case after such thirty- (30-) day period, the Company may nominate or appoint a
designee who may serve as a Director only until, subject to no Amber 15% Stockholder Termination Event or Amber 5% Stockholder Termination
Event, as applicable, having occurred as of such time, Amber GT Parent designates a Designee in accordance with the terms hereof (provided
that the Company may, in its discretion, fill such vacant Director seat and instead increase the size of the Board and appoint such Designee
to fill the vacant Director resulting from such increase in the size of the Board, with, if the Board has classes as of such time, such
Designee being in the same class of Directors that he or she would have been entitled to fill).
(b) From
and after the Effective Time and until the ARYA Stockholder Termination Event shall have occurred, ARYA Sponsor shall have the right
to designate one (1) Designee to be appointed or nominated, as the case may be, as a Class III director of the Board (or, if the Board
does not contain classes, one individual to be appointed or nominated, as the case may be, to the Board), in connection with any meeting
of the stockholders of the Company called (or written consent of the stockholders) with respect to the election of such Director class,
and the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, take all necessary and reasonably desirable actions within its control (including,
without limitation, nominating such Designee as a Director, calling special meetings of the Board and the stockholders of the Company
and recommending, supporting and soliciting proxies in favor of such Designees), such that there is one (1) ARYA Sponsor Designee serving
as a Class III director on the Board (or, if the Board does not contain classes, one (1) ARYA Sponsor Designee serving as member of the
Board) at all times prior to the occurrence of the ARYA Stockholder Termination Event. If (i) a vacancy on the Board occurs because of
the death, disability, disqualification, resignation or removal of the ARYA Sponsor Director and (ii) ARYA Sponsor has the right to designate
such Director seat pursuant to this Agreement, then ARYA Sponsor shall be entitled to designate a Designee to replace the ARYA Sponsor
Director that vacated the Board due to death, disability, disqualification, resignation or removal, and the Company will, within ten
(10) Business Days of such designation of such Designee, take all necessary and reasonably desirable actions within its control such
that such vacancy shall be filled with such replacement Designee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Director position vacated
by the ARYA Sponsor Director because of such Director’s death, disability, disqualification, resignation or removal, shall not
be filled pending such any such designation and appointment by ARYA Sponsor unless ARYA Sponsor fails to designate a Designee within
thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the Company notifying it that such vacancy has occurred, in which case after such
thirty- (30-) day period, the Company may nominate or appoint a designee who may serve as a Director only until, subject to no ARYA Stockholder
Termination Event having occurred as of such time, ARYA Sponsor designates a Designee in accordance with the terms hereof (provided that
the Company may, in its discretion, fill such vacant Director seat and instead increase the size of the Board and appoint such Designee
to fill the vacant Director resulting from such increase in the size of the Board, with, if the Board has classes as of such time, such
Designee being in the same class of Directors that he or she would have been entitled to fill).
(c) If a Designee is entitled to serve on the Board pursuant to Section 1(a) or Section 1(b), the Company shall
take all necessary and reasonably desirable actions within its control in connection with the nomination, appointment, election or re-election
of such Designee, as the case may be, to ensure that (i) the Designee is included in the Board’s slate of nominees to the stockholders
of the Company for the applicable election of Directors and (ii) the Designee is included in the proxy statement prepared by management
of the Company in connection with soliciting proxies for the applicable meeting of the stockholders of the Company called with respect
to the election of the applicable class of Directors, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval
by written consent of the stockholders of the Company with respect to the applicable election of the applicable class of Directors.
(d) If a Designee entitled to serve on the Board pursuant to Section 1(a) or Section 1(b) is not elected or appointed
because of such Designee’s death, disability, disqualification, withdrawal as a nominee for election to the Board or for any other
reason (and such Designee is not replaced as a Designee pursuant to the applicable terms of Section 1(a) or Section 1(b) above),
(i) the applicable Stockholder(s) shall, for so long as such Stockholder is entitled to appoint or nominate such Designee pursuant to
Section 1(a) or Section 1(b), be entitled to promptly designate a replacement Designee, and (ii) the Company will, within
ten (10) Business Days of such designation, take all necessary and reasonably desirable actions within its control such that such replacement
Designee is elected or appointed as a Director the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Director position for which
such original Designee was designated shall not be filled pending such designation and appointment or election, as applicable, unless
the applicable Stockholder(s) shall fail to designate such replacement Designee within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice
from the Company notifying such Stockholder that such Designee was not elected, and after such thirty- (30-) day period, the Company may
appoint or nominate, as the case may be, a successor designee who may serve as a Director only, subject to no applicable Stockholder Termination
Event having occurred, until the applicable Stockholder(s) shall designate a replacement Designee in accordance with the terms hereof
(provided that the Company may, in its discretion, fill such vacant Director seat and instead increase the size of the Board and appoint
such Designee to fill the vacant Director resulting from such increase in the size of the Board, with, if the Board has classes as of
such time, such Designee being in the same class of Directors that he or she would have been entitled to fill).
(e) In accordance with the Bylaws, the Company may from time to time by resolution establish and maintain one or more committees
of the Board, with each committee to consist of one (1) or more Directors. To the extent feasible, the Company shall notify ARYA Sponsor
and Amber GT Parent in writing of any new committee of the Board to be established at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective establishment
of such committee. If requested by ARYA Sponsor or Amber GT Parent, the Company shall take all necessary steps to cause at least one (1)
Stockholder Director as requested by Amber GT Parent and one (1) Stockholder Director as requested by ARYA Sponsor to each be appointed
as a member of each such committee of the Board unless such designation would violate any legal restriction on such committee’s
composition or the rules and regulations of any applicable exchange on which the Company’s securities may be listed; provided,
that the foregoing sentence shall not apply, with respect to any Stockholder, to any special committee of the Board established specifically
for the purpose of evaluating a transaction or other corporate action involving such Stockholder or to the extent the appointment of such
individual to such committee would, as reasonably determined by the Company, result in any other conflict or potential conflict of interest.
(f) From and after the Effective Time, (i) until the Amber 5% Stockholder Termination Event occurs, the Company shall take
all necessary and reasonably desirable actions within its control to cause one (1) Amber GT Parent Director as requested in writing by
Amber GT Parent to be appointed as a member of the compensation committee, the audit committee or the nominating committee of the Board
and (ii) until the ARYA Stockholder Termination Event occurs the Company shall take all necessary or reasonably desirable actions within
its control to cause one (1) ARYA Sponsor Director as requested in writing by ARYA Sponsor to be appointed as a member the compensation
committee, the audit committee or the nominating committee of the Board, unless in the case of any request made pursuant to clause (i)
or (ii) above, such designation would violate any legal restriction on such committee’s composition or the rules and regulations
of Nasdaq or any other any applicable exchange on which the Company’s securities may be listed.
(g) The
Company shall pay all reasonable, documented and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Stockholder Director in connection with his
or her service as a Director or as a member of the board of directors (or other similar governing body) of any Subsidiary of the Company,
including, but not limited to, attending meetings or events attended on behalf of the Company at the Company’s request.
(h) The Company shall, for so long as any Designee serves as a Director, maintain directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance in an amount determined by the Board to be reasonable and customary; provided, that upon such Stockholder Director ceasing
to serve as a Director for any reason, the Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to extend such directors’ and officers’
liability insurance coverage with respect to such Stockholder Director for a period of not less than six (6) years from the time at which
such director ceases to serve as a Director in respect of any act or omission of such Stockholder Director occurring at or prior to such
cessation of service.
(i) For
so long as any Stockholder Director serves as a Director, the Company (i) shall provide such Stockholder Director with the same expense
reimbursement, benefits, indemnity, exculpation and other arrangements provided to the other Directors; provided, that any Stockholder
Director who is also an employee of the applicable Stockholder (or its Affiliates) may elect not to receive any standard director fees
paid by the Company to Directors, and (ii) shall not amend, alter or repeal any right to indemnification or exculpation covering or benefiting
any Stockholder Director as and to the extent consistent with applicable law, including, but not limited to, Article VII of the Certificate
of Incorporation and Article VII of the Bylaws (whether such right is contained in the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws or another
document), (except to the extent such amendment or alteration permits the Company to provide broader indemnification or exculpation rights
on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto).
(j) Any
Designee will be subject to the Company’s customary due diligence process, including its review of a completed questionnaire and
a background check, consistent with the Company’s corporate governance policies as in effect at the applicable time. Based on the
foregoing and to the extent consistent with the Company’s corporate governance policies as in effect at the applicable time, the
Company may reasonably object to any Designee (i) provided it does so in good faith and (ii) solely to the extent such objection is based
upon any of the following: (1) such Designee was convicted in a criminal proceeding or is a named subject of a pending criminal proceeding
(excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (2) such Designee was the subject of any order, judgment, or decree not subsequently
reversed, suspended or vacated of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining such proposed director from,
or otherwise limiting, the following activities: (A) engaging in any type of business practice, or (B) engaging in any activity in connection
with the purchase or sale of any security or in connection with any violation of federal or state securities laws; (3) such Designee
was the subject of any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any federal or state authority
barring, suspending or otherwise limiting for more than sixty (60) days the right of such person to engage in any activity described
in clause (2)(B), or to be associated with persons engaged in such activity; (4) such Designee was found by a court of competent jurisdiction
in a civil action or by the SEC to have violated any federal or state securities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding
by the SEC has not been subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated; or (5) such Designee was the subject of, or a party to any federal
or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to
a violation of any federal or state securities laws or regulations. In the event the Board reasonably finds the Designee to be unsuitable
based upon one or more of the foregoing clauses (1) through (5) and reasonably objects to the identified director, the applicable Stockholder
shall be entitled to propose a different Designee to the Board within thirty (30) days of the Company’s notice to such Stockholder
of its objection to the Designee and such replacement Designee shall be subject to the review process outlined above.

Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect
to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements related thereto (whether
written or oral), all of which are merged herein.
Section
13. Severability.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable
Law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, all other
provisions of this Agreement 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. Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this
Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this
Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the
transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
Section
14. Amendment
and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, no modification, amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement shall be effective against a party, unless such modification is approved in writing by such party. Neither
any failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or in requiring satisfaction of any condition herein nor any course
of dealing shall constitute a waiver of or prevent any party from enforcing any right or remedy or from requiring satisfaction of any
condition. No notice to or demand on a party waives or otherwise affects any obligation of that party or impairs any right of the party
giving such notice or making such demand, including any right to take any action without notice or demand not otherwise required by this
Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (a) following the occurrence of the Amber 5% Stockholder Termination

this Section 15 and Sections 2-5, 7-14 (to
the extent related to any of the foregoing) shall survive any termination of this Agreement with respect to such terminated Stockholder
or any termination of this Agreement in its entirety.

TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT
This TRANSITION SERVICES
AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of [●], 202[●] (the “Effective Date”),
is entered into by and between Amicus Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Amber”) and Caritas Therapeutics,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”). Each of Amber and the Company are referred to herein
individually as a “Party” and together as the “Parties.”
WHEREAS, pursuant to that
certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2021 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, waived
or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Combination Agreement”),
Amber and its Affiliates sold, transferred, contributed, assigned, conveyed and delivered to the Company all of the assets, properties
and rights related to the Business, as described therein;
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Combination
Agreement and in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, Amber and the Company shall enter into this Agreement in order
to provide for the provision (i) from Amber and/or one or more of its Affiliates to the Company and/or one or more of its Affiliates and
(ii) from the Company and/or one or more of its Affiliates to Amber and/or one or more of its Affiliates of certain transitional services
in order to facilitate the orderly transition of the Business from Amber and/or one or more of its Affiliates to the Company and/or one
or more of its Affiliates, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth; and
WHEREAS, the Party providing
an applicable Service (as defined below) hereunder, as set forth in the Schedules to this Agreement, is referred to as “Provider”
and the Party receiving an applicable Service hereunder, as set forth in the Services Schedules, is referred to as “Recipient”.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the foregoing promises and the mutual covenants, agreements, representations and warranties hereinafter set forth, and intending to
be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows.
1.
Definitions.
(a)
Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed
to such terms in the Combination Agreement.
2.
Services and Associated Fees.
(a)
Services. From and after the Closing Date, Provider shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, provide to Recipient and its
Affiliates (i) the services set forth on Schedule A (where Amber is the Provider) or Schedule B (where the Company is the
Provider), as applicable, including any other activities or tasks that are not specifically described on Schedule A or Schedule B,
as applicable, but which are required for or are a necessary or inherent part of the proper performance or delivery of such services,
and (ii) all services reasonably required to transition or migrate from the provision of the services set forth on Schedule A or
Schedule B, as applicable, to Recipient, including data extraction and migration, knowledge transfer, and reasonable access to
personnel and facilities (clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Services”).
(b)
Omitted Services. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if during the ninety (90) day period immediately
following the date of this Agreement (or promptly after a Recipient becomes aware of the need for an omitted service, to the extent a
Recipient does not become aware of the need for a periodic service until after such first ninety (90) day period), (i) Company as Recipient
identifies a service that was historically provided by Amber or its Affiliates in connection with the Business and such service was inadvertently
omitted from Schedule A, then the Company may provide notice thereof to Amber and (ii) if Amber as Recipient identifies a service
that was historically provided by the Company or its Affiliates and reasonably anticipated as of the date hereof to be necessary to continue
to support any portion of the Retained Business and such service was inadvertently omitted from Schedule B, then Amber may provide
notice thereof to the Company (any such omitted service as described in subclause (i) or (ii), an “Omitted Service”).
Upon receipt of such notice from either Party, (x) where the Company is the Recipient, upon Amber’s prior written consent (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), such Omitted Service shall be deemed to be a Service for purposes of
this Agreement and Amber shall provide such Omitted Service to the Company, and (y) where Amber is the Recipient, upon the Company’s
prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), such Omitted Service shall be deemed to
be a Service for purposes of this Agreement and the Company shall provide such Omitted Service to Amber; and in each of (x) and (y) the
Company and Amber shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly meet to identify and document the scope and pricing for such
Omitted Service and amend Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable, to add such Omitted Service as a Service; provided
that the pricing for such Omitted Services shall be no greater than the cost allocation to the Business or the Retained Business,
as applicable, for such Omitted Service as provided immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Combination
Agreement.
(c)
Additional Services. The provision of any services not expressly set out in Schedule A or Schedule B
or contemplated by Sections 2(a) or 2(b), as applicable, or outside the scope, nature frequency or volume of the Services
as provided prior to the date of execution of the Combination Agreement (“Additional Services”) shall require
the consent of Provider, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If such consent is given, then the Parties
shall promptly meet to identify and negotiate in good faith the scope and pricing for such Additional Service; provided, however,
that the pricing for such Additional Service shall be no greater than Provider’s cost to provide such Additional Services, provided
that the term for such Additional Service shall not extend beyond the longest term for the other Services on Schedule A
or Schedule B, as applicable, as of the Effective Date. If the Parties agree on such terms, then they shall amend Schedule A
or Schedule B, as applicable, to include such Additional Service as a Service hereunder. Except as set forth herein, the Parties
acknowledge and agree that no services other than those specifically described in this Agreement will be provided by or on behalf of
a Party unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties.
(d)
Change Requests. If Recipient wishes to make any material change to the scope, nature, frequency, amount or volume of the
Services provided under this Agreement (including any increases in staffing levels, equipment acquisitions, investments, or capital or
other expenditures), Recipient shall make a request to Provider, setting out in reasonable detail the change requested and the reason
therefor. Provider shall promptly consider such request in good faith and to the extent it consents to such change or changes (such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable, shall be amended
accordingly.
(e)
Performance Standards. Provider and its Affiliates shall perform the Services in all cases in a professional and workmanlike
manner with appropriate and qualified personnel. Without limiting the foregoing, Provider shall, or shall cause the its Affiliates to,
use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Services in a manner, and at a level of service (including with respect to quality,
skill, performance, diligence and timeliness) in a manner generally consistent with how the services that are the same as such Services
were provided to the Business during the 12-month period prior to the date of execution of the Combination Agreement and with (i) at least
the same (and no less than a reasonable) standard of service (including with respect to quality, skill, performance, diligence, and timeliness)
that Provider and its Affiliates provide their own respective businesses and (ii) substantially equal priority; provided that to
the extent the manner, quality, or availability of the services have been adversely affected by restrictions or modifications put in place
due to the COVID Event (as defined in Section 11(g)) pandemic and governmental and public health measures adopted in response thereto,
then Provider shall resume performing to the pre-COVID Event service standards as promptly as reasonably feasible after any public health
measures permit the same to occur.
(f)
Services Fees. Recipient shall pay to Provider in arrears the actual costs directly incurred by Provider in connection with
the Services, with no margin or markup (“Service Fees”), which costs shall be no greater than the cost allocation
of each Service for the applicable period in which such Service was provided. Within 30 days following the completion of each calendar
month, Provider shall provide to Recipient an invoice setting forth the amounts due with respect to the Services provided to Recipient
during the preceding month. All undisputed amounts invoiced shall be paid within 30 days of receipt. In addition, Recipient shall pay
reasonable and documented third-party costs and expenses actually incurred by Provider in connection with the Services provided hereunder,
including reasonable travel expenses and costs, solely to the extent such third-party costs and expenses are specifically identified in
Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable, for a given Service and subject to Recipient’s prior written consent to pay
such costs and expenses.
(g)
Taxes.
(i)
All charges and fees to be paid to Provider under this Agreement are exclusive of any and all sales, use, transfer, value-added,
goods or services Taxes or similar gross-receipts-based Taxes, in each case, imposed with respect to the provision of the Services hereunder
(“Sales and Services Taxes”); provided, that Sales and Services Taxes shall not include, and Provider
(rather than Recipient) shall pay and be liable for, (x) any Taxes that are imposed on or measured by Provider’s net income or
gain, profits or assets (including franchise Taxes) or (y) any value-added or similar Tax to the extent that such Tax is recoverable
by Provider or another Person who is a member of the same group as Provider for purposes of the relevant Tax. Recipient shall pay and
be responsible for any Sales and Services Taxes, and, to the extent Provider is the Party required by applicable Law to remit any Sales
and Services Taxes to the applicable Tax Authority, (A) Provider will deliver to Recipient an invoice (or other valid and customary documentation)
reflecting such Sales and Services Taxes in accordance with applicable Law, (B) Recipient will pay to Provider the amount shown as due
on such invoice and (C) Provider will remit such amount to the applicable Tax Authority in accordance with applicable Law. Provider shall
be responsible for any Sales and Services Taxes (including any deficiency, interest and penalties) imposed as a result of (x) a failure
to timely remit any Sales and Services Taxes to the applicable Tax Authority to the extent Recipient timely remits such Sales and Services
Taxes to Provider or Recipient’s failure to do so results from Provider’s failure to timely charge or provide notice of such
Sales and Services Taxes to Recipient or (y) any assignment by Provider pursuant to Section 11(f) or subcontracting by Provider
pursuant to Section 2(j). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Recipient be obligated to pay any past due Taxes of Provider
or its Affiliates arising in connection with and inuring to tax periods ending on or before the date hereof or activities not included
within the scope of the Services.
(ii)
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, Recipient and its Affiliates shall have the right to deduct and withhold
from any payments to be made hereunder such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld by them with respect to the making of
such payment under applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, Recipient shall timely remit such amounts
to the appropriate Tax Authority and shall submit to Provider evidence of payment of any such amounts to such Tax Authority, and any such
amounts that are timely remitted to the appropriate Tax Authority shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid
to the Person in respect of which the deduction and withholding was made. For the avoidance of doubt, Recipient and its Affiliates shall
not be responsible for any payments or provisions of wages, bonuses, commissions, employee benefits or withholding or payment of any applicable
withholding or applicable Taxes made to employees of the Provider or any of its Affiliates. Provider shall be responsible for, and shall
withhold or pay or both (or cause to be withheld or paid or both), as may be required by applicable Law, all Taxes pertaining to the employment
of the personnel, agents, servants or designees of Provider.
(iii)
In the event that a Party or any of its Affiliates (the “Transferor Party”) receives any credit, reduction
or refund of any Sales and Services Taxes (a “Tax Benefit”) for which the other Party or any of its Affiliates
(the “Transferee Party”) is economically responsible pursuant to this Agreement, the Transferor Party shall
(A) promptly provide to the Transferee Party a copy of the certificate or other documentation from the Tax Authority showing the receipt
of such Tax Benefit, and (B) provide the Transferee Party with an amount equal to such Tax Benefit, as and when actually realized and
net of any additional Taxes or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection therewith by the Transferor Party, it being understood
that the Transferee Party shall be liable for any subsequent disallowance of any such Tax Benefit and any related interest, penalties
and additions thereto.
(iv)
Each Party agrees to provide the other Party such information and data as reasonably requested from time to time, and to reasonably
cooperate with the other Party, in connection with (A) the reporting of any Sales and Services Taxes, (B) any audit relating to any Sales
and Services Taxes, or (C) any assessment, refund, claim or legal proceeding relating to any Sales and Services Taxes. Each Party shall
promptly notify the other Party of any deficiency claim or similar notice by a Tax Authority with respect to any Sales and Services Taxes.
Each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party, and take any reasonably requested action which does not cause such Party to
incur any material cost or inconvenience, in order to minimize any Sales and Services Taxes, including providing sales and use Tax exemption
certificates or other documentation necessary to support Tax exemptions. Each of the Parties agrees to use its reasonable best efforts
to mitigate the imposition of any withholding Taxes in connection with payments pursuant to this Agreement (including, in the case of
Provider, by providing such Tax forms as Recipient shall reasonably request so as to minimize or eliminate any withholding Taxes that
might otherwise apply to the payments by Recipient to Provider under this Agreement).
(h)
Third-Party Consents. If the use or provision of all or a portion of the Services pursuant to this Agreement requires the
approval, consent, permission, waiver or agreement (including any Permit) (each a “Consent”) of a third party
that has not been obtained prior to the date hereof1,
Amber shall, at its sole cost and expense, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary consents from such third party
or to modify such existing Contract to enable Amber to provide or receive the applicable Services. If any such consent cannot be obtained
as a result of such efforts, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Parties shall work together in good faith to identify and
implement a workaround or alternative means of providing or receiving the affected Service in such a manner as to give Recipient the full
benefit of such Service to the greatest extent possible, at no incremental costs or expense to the Company. For the avoidance of doubt,
any failure by Amber to obtain any applicable Consent shall not relieve Amber of any obligation to provide the Services.
(i)
Service Failure. In the event that Provider becomes aware of any actual or anticipated failure in the provision of the Services
which impacts, or is reasonably likely to impact provision of any Service (an “Incident”), it shall notify Recipient
as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event within one (1) Business Day. Provider shall, as soon as reasonably practicable: (i) investigate
the underlying cause(s) of the Incident and use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve any data indicating the cause of failure;
(ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to take actions to minimize the impact of the failure and to prevent it from recurring; (iii)
use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the failure and resume performance of the Services in accordance with this Agreement; and
(iv) advise Recipient of the status of the Incident and the remedial efforts being undertaken with respect thereto. Without limiting any
other term or condition of this Agreement, Provider shall cooperate in good faith to resolve such Incident and use commercially reasonable
efforts to minimize the impact of such Incident on Recipient.
(j)
Subcontracting. Provider may use contractors, subcontractors, vendors or other third parties to provide a Service (i) without
the prior written consent of Recipient, if such contractors, subcontractors, vendors or other third parties are being used to provide
such Service to the Business immediately prior to the date of execution of the Combination Agreement or (ii) with the prior written
consent of Recipient, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (and Provider shall bear any incremental cost increase).
Provider shall remain responsible for all Services furnished by its contractors, subcontractors, vendors or other third parties and Provider
shall be liable for the acts and omissions of its contractors, subcontractors, vendors or other third parties with respect thereto.
1 List
of any consents that will be required in connection with any Service to be confirmed.
3.
Data Matters.
(a)
Recipient Data. Provider acknowledges and agrees that Recipient shall own all right, title, and interest in and to all
data or information to the extent (i) where the Company is the Recipient, (A) related to the Business and is collected, processed,
generated, calculated, derived, or stored by, or transmitted to, Amber, any of its Affiliates or any third parties in connection with
the Services, or (B) otherwise used in, or related to the Business, except in each case ((A) and (B)), to the extent related to the Retained
Business or Excluded Assets (“Company Data”); or (ii) where Amber is the Recipient, (A) related to the
Retained Business or Excluded Assets and is collected, processed, generated, calculated, derived, or stored by, or transmitted to, the
Company, any of its Affiliates or any third parties in connection with the Services, or (B) otherwise used in, or related to, the Retained
Business or Excluded Assets (“Amber Data” and, together with the Company Data, “Recipient Data”).
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, Provider shall make all of the Recipient Data available to Recipient and its authorized
agents during the Term of this Agreement, in accordance with the terms hereof. As soon as reasonably practicable following expiration
or termination of this Agreement with respect to a Service, or receipt of a written request by Recipient at any time during the Term
with respect to particular Recipient Data, Provider shall provide to Recipient all Recipient Data (and copies of Recipient Data) that
is in Provider’s possession or control in the form and manner maintained by Provider. Provider shall access and use the Recipient
Data only in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. Provider shall not use (other than in the performance
of Services), sell, assign, license, or otherwise dispose of, market, or transfer any of the Recipient Data to any Person, and Provider
shall not commercially exploit any part of the Recipient Data.
(b)
Data Security. Provider shall (i) maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures to ensure that the
Recipient Data is protected against any and all loss, destruction, damage, and unauthorized access, use, modification, disclosure, and
other misuse of the Recipient Data, including such measures required by Provider’s privacy policies and applicable data privacy
Law; and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that only Persons with a specific need and authorized by Recipient have access
to the Recipient Data. With respect to Recipient Data stored on Provider’s networks or systems, promptly upon discovery and confirmation
of (A) any breach of the privacy or security of the Recipient Data, (B) any violation of any applicable Law with respect to the Recipient
Data, or (C) any loss, destruction, damage, unauthorized activity or disclosure (except as required by Law) of the Recipient Data, Provider
shall provide notice to Recipient explaining the nature and scope of the incident and fully assist and cooperate in any investigation
Recipient deems necessary (including any forensic investigation), and Provider shall reasonably support Recipient, at Provider’s
sole expense, with respect to any breach notification, breach remediation, and identity protection services that Recipient reasonably
determines need to be furnished to affected Persons.
4.
Intellectual Property Rights.
(a)
Licenses. Subject to the terms hereof, each Party, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to the other Party,
a non-exclusive, fully paid-up, royalty-free, non-transferable (except in accordance with Section 11(f)), worldwide license under
the Intellectual Property owned or licensable (without further payment or obligation) by such granting Party and such Party’s Affiliates,
solely to the extent necessary for the purpose of, as applicable, providing or receiving the Services, in each case, as set forth in and
in accordance with this Agreement. The rights granted to Provider under this Section 4(a) will be sublicensable to its Affiliates
and any contractors, subcontractors, vendors or other third parties engaged to provide Services in accordance with Section 2(j).
The rights granted to Recipient under this Section 4(a) will be sublicensable only to such Recipient’s Affiliates in connection
with their receipt of the Services.
(b)
Ownership. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, as between the Parties, each Party shall remain the sole and
exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to all Intellectual Property (including all derivative works, modifications and
enhancements thereof) owned by such Party that is made available to the other Party in connection with the Services. As between the Parties,
any Intellectual Property created or developed in connection with the provision of the Services, other than reports or deliverables created
for Recipient at its request or otherwise relating solely to the business of Recipient, shall be owned by Provider, provided, however,
that if Provider creates reports or deliverables for Recipient at its request or that otherwise relate solely to the business of Recipient,
the Intellectual Property therein shall be owned by, and Provider shall assign such Intellectual Property to, Recipient. The Parties acknowledge
and understand that Provider may use the Intellectual Property of third parties in providing the Services and Recipient shall comply with
all applicable terms, conditions and restrictions imposed by such third parties on the use of their Intellectual Property of which such
Recipient is aware or is made aware.
(c)
All Other Rights Reserved. Except as expressly set forth herein or in the Combination Agreement, neither Party nor any of
its Affiliates shall have any right or license, express or implied, with respect to any Intellectual Property of the other Party and all
rights and licenses not expressly granted by a Party under this Agreement are reserved by such Party.
5.

to each Service, shall continue until the date of expiration for such Service as set forth on Schedule A or Schedule B,
as applicable (each, a “Service Term”); provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, Recipient may in its sole discretion elect to extend any Service Term for up to two (2) additional extension
terms of three (3) months each, upon at least 30 days’ advance written notice to Provider. Except as set forth in this Article
5, neither Party shall have the right to suspend or terminate any Service or this Agreement.
(b)
Term of the Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier of (i) the expiration
or termination of all of the Services provided hereunder and (ii) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section
5(c) (the “Term”).
(c)
Termination.
(i)
Recipient may terminate this Agreement or one or more of the Services, in whole or in part, upon at least 30 days’ advance

Provider may terminate this Agreement if Recipient fails to pay any undisputed Service Fees in any invoice within 30 days’
after such Services Fees become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof, upon at least 30 days’ advance written notice
to Recipient of such termination, unless Recipient pays such undisputed Services Fees within such 30-day period.
(iii)
In the event that any Service (or portion thereof) is provided for less than an entire month (e.g., the effective date of termination
of a Service is a day other than at the end of a month), the Service Fee associated with such Service (or portion thereof) for that month
shall be pro-rated appropriately. In the event that any Service is terminated (A) in whole, Recipient shall have no further obligation
to pay the Service Fee associated with such Service, or (B) in part, the Service Managers shall determine in good faith the amount by
which the Service Fee associated with such Service shall be reduced.
(iv)
This Agreement or any Service may be terminated by the mutual written agreement of the Parties.
(d)
Survival. A Party’s obligations to another Party under Section 2(g), Article 3, Article 6, Article 8,
Article 9, Article 10 and Article 11 shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.
6.
Indemnity.
(a)
Indemnification by Provider. Each Party as Provider hereby agrees to release, discharge, defend, indemnify and hold Recipient
and its Affiliates, and its and their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees, representatives, and agents (the “Recipient
Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, suits, losses, demands, damages, Taxes, costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of every kind, nature, or description brought by a third party arising out of or
related to the provision or use of Services received hereunder (each, a “Claim”) suffered or incurred by a
Recipient Indemnitee arising from Provider’s (i) material breach of this Agreement, (ii) violation of Law, (iii) breach of
Article 9, or (iv) willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud in connection with this Agreement.
(b)
Indemnification by Recipient. Each Party as Recipient hereby agrees to release, discharge, defend, indemnify and hold Provider
and its Affiliates, and its and their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees, representatives, and agents (the “Provider
Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all Claims suffered or incurred by a Provider Indemnitee arising from Recipient’s
(i) material breach of this Agreement, (ii) violation of Law, (iii) breach of Article 9, or (iv) willful misconduct, gross
negligence or fraud in connection with this Agreement.
7.
No Liability for Inherited Issues.
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement, the Company shall not be in breach of this Agreement as a result of, and the Company shall not be liable to
Amber for, any Losses to the extent arising out of any defects, imperfections, conditions, circumstances, or characteristics that, in
each case, existed as of or prior to the Effective Date with respect to the Business.
8.
Representations and Warranties.

9.
Confidential Information.
(a)
Confidential Information. As it is used in this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information”
shall mean, with respect to any Party, all information of such Party and its Affiliates (including information that might reasonably
be considered confidential (including information that is subject to confidentiality obligations to third parties), secret, sensitive,
proprietary or private), in written, oral, electronic or other tangible or intangible forms, stored in any medium, including studies,
reports, books and records, contracts, instruments, surveys, discoveries, ideas, concepts, know-how, techniques, designs, specifications,
drawings, blueprints, diagrams, models, prototypes, samples, flow charts, data, computer data, disks, diskettes, tapes, computer programs
or other software, marketing plans, customer names, memos, personally identifiable information and other technical, financial, employee
or business information or data. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Confidential Information” shall not
include, with respect to the information of any Party or its Affiliates, any information that (i) is or becomes available to the
general public, other than as a result of a disclosure by a member of the other Party or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their
directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel or other advisors or representatives (collectively, “Representatives”)
in violation of this Agreement; (ii) becomes available to the other Party or any of its Affiliates on a non-confidential basis
from a third party; provided, that the source of such information was not bound by a confidentiality obligation with respect to
such information or otherwise prohibited from transmitting such information by a contractual, fiduciary or other legal obligation; or
(iii) is independently developed by any Party, its Affiliates or its Representatives without reference to any otherwise Confidential
Information; provided, further, that Recipient Data shall at all times be considered Confidential Information of Recipient.
(b)
Nondisclosure Obligations. Except as otherwise permitted by this Article 9, each Party shall, and shall cause its
Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives to, (i) not disclose such Confidential Information to third Persons (other than
to such Party’s Representatives on a need-to-know basis), (ii) advise each of its Representatives of their obligations to keep such
information confidential, and (iii) use the same degree of care it uses to protect such Confidential Information as it uses for its own
confidential information of like kind, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. The terms and conditions of this Agreement
shall constitute the Confidential Information of each Party to the extent not publicly disclosed by agreement of the Parties.
(c)
Permitted Disclosure. In the event that a Party (i) is required to disclose any Confidential Information of the other Party
or any of its Affiliates pursuant to applicable Law or (ii) receives any demand under lawful process or from any Authority to disclose
or provide Confidential Information of the other Party or any of its Affiliates, such Party shall notify the other Party prior to disclosing
or providing such Confidential Information and shall cooperate, at the sole expense of the other Party, in seeking any reasonable protective
arrangements requested by such other Party. Subject to the foregoing, the Party that is required to so disclose or receive such demand,
as applicable, may thereafter only disclose or provide Confidential Information which is legally required to be disclosed or provided
and shall exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain protective treatment of such Confidential Information.
(d)
Destruction of Confidential Information. Each Party shall, at the request of the other Party or upon termination or expiration
of this Agreement, as soon as practicable and (with respect to destruction) except as required to be maintained to comply with provisions
of the Combination Agreement, applicable Law or applicable document retention policies, at such other Party’s option (i) return
to the other Party originals and all copies of all Confidential Information of such other Party or any of its Affiliates in a tangible
form (and electronically) or (ii) destroy all originals and copies thereof and all notes, extracts or summaries based thereon. Each
Party shall, at the other Party’s request, confirm compliance with this Article 9 in a writing signed by one of such Party’s
authorized officers.
10.
Cooperation.
(a)
General. The Parties hereto acknowledge the transitional nature of the Services. Accordingly, as promptly as practicable
following the execution of this Agreement, Recipient agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to transition each Service to its own
internal organization or to obtain alternate third party sources to provide the Services. Provider shall cooperate and assist Recipient
in all matters reasonably necessary for the provision and receipt of the Services. Provider shall provide to Recipient assistance reasonably
necessary for Recipient to transition the Services (including any terminated or expired Services) and segregate and migrate Recipient’s
systems, environments, and data (including Recipient Data), from Provider’s systems, facilities, or environments to Recipient’s
(or its providers’) systems, facilities, and environments. Such transition assistance includes (i) making available relevant
management and employees for meetings or telephone conferences with Recipient as reasonably requested by Recipient, including for the
purpose of knowledge transfer, (ii) providing information, assistance and data (including data for operation and testing of Recipients’
replacement or successor systems) regarding the specific Services being provided and the systems, software and data formats and data organization
being used for the Services, (iii) coordination and other reasonable assistance with test runs of replacement systems and processes
(but not development of such systems and processes), and (iv) other reasonable access to relevant information. Amber will bear all
start-up, one-time or non-recurring costs incurred in connection with the separation and migration of the Company’s systems, environments,
assets and data (including Company Data), from Amber’s systems, facilities, or environments to the Company’s (or its providers’)
systems, facilities, and environments.
(b)
Coordinators. The Parties shall each promptly appoint (i) one or more managers who shall have primary responsibility for
the coordination and performance of the Services by functional area (collectively, the “Service Managers”),
and (ii) one lead transition manager (“Transition Manager”), who shall act as the primary liaison to the other
Party (through its Transition Manager), have overall responsibility for directing all of such Party’s activities hereunder, and
manage and coordinate such Party’s Service Managers. Each Party may treat an act of a Transition Manager or a Service Manager of
the other Party as being authorized by such other Party without inquiring behind such act or ascertaining whether such Transition Manager
or Service Manager had authority to so act; provided, however, that no Transition Manager or Service Manager has authority
to amend this Agreement in their role as Transition Manager or Service Manager, respectively. Each Party shall promptly (and in any event
within ten (10) business days) advise the other in writing of any change in its Transition Manager or Service Managers. Provider and
Recipient agree that all communications relating to the provision of the Services shall be directed to the Transition Managers or the
respective Service Manager for such Transition Services.
11.
Miscellaneous.
(a)
Dispute Resolution.
(i)
Disputes. For all controversies, claims and matters of difference (each a “Dispute”) arising
out of or relating to this Agreement, the Parties agree to promptly address the Dispute internally through upper-management personnel
(and shall cause such upper-management personnel to use good faith efforts to address any such Dispute). If the upper-management personnel
for both Parties cannot resolve the Dispute within 30 days following written notice of the Dispute, then the Dispute shall be elevated
to the Chief Executive Officer (or designee) of both Parties. If the Chief Executive Officers (or designees) are unable to resolve the
Dispute, Section 11(a)(iii) shall apply; provided, however, that a Party may file earlier to avoid the expiration
of any applicable limitations period, to preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors, or to apply for interim or equitable
relief, including for any breach of confidentiality or intentional breach or threat of intentional breach of this Agreement.
(ii)
Continuation of Services. Except where clearly prevented by the nature of the Dispute and without limiting either Party’s
rights of termination under Section 5(c), each of the Parties shall continue performing their respective obligations under this
Agreement (including payment of any charges in the case of Recipient and performance of the Services in the case of Provider) while the
dispute is being resolved, unless and until such obligations are terminated or expire in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, a dispute regarding invoiced fees will not be deemed to prevent or preclude Provider from performing the Services
hereunder or prevent or preclude Recipient from paying any undisputed fees and other undisputed amounts owed hereunder.
(iii)
Submission 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 state
or federal court within the State of Delaware), for the purposes of any Action arising under this Agreement or in any way connected with
or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and
irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such Action in any such court, and further irrevocably
and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Action has been brought in an inconvenient
forum. Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim
or otherwise, in any Action or cause thereof against such Party arising under this Agreement or in any way connected with or related or
incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, (A) any claim
that such Party is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts as described in this Section 11(a)(iii) for any
reason, (B) that such Party is exempt or immune from the 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 Action or cause thereof in any such court is brought against such Party in an inconvenient
forum, (y) the venue of such Action or cause thereof against such Party is improper or (z) this Agreement, or the subject matter
hereof, may not be enforced against such Party in or by such courts. Each Party agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or
document by registered mail to such Party’s respective address set forth in Section 11(d) shall be effective service
of process for any such Action, demand, or cause thereof.
(iv)
Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or statute) that may be based
upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or
cause of action based upon, arising out of related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as
inducement to enter into this Agreement), shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the Laws (both substantive
and procedural) of the State of Delaware, including its statute of limitations, without giving effect to the conflict of Laws principles
thereof.
(v)
Enforcement. 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 the Parties do not perform their respective obligations under
the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed
that the Parties shall be entitled to seek 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 they are 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 Party has an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance
is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.
(vi)
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES EACH HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY
OF ANY PROCEEDING, CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY ADDITIONAL AGREEMENT OR
(B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ADDITIONAL AGREEMENT
OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO OR ANY FINANCING IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, IN EACH
CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES EACH HEREBY AGREE AND
CONSENT THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING, 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 (1) 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, (2) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (3) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS
WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (4) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11(A)(VI).
(b)
Records; Audit. Notwithstanding Section 5(d), during the Term of this Agreement and for one (1) year thereafter,
or for so long as required by applicable Law, Provider and Recipient shall keep, or cause to be kept, complete and accurate books and
records concerning the Services in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices and applicable Law and consistent with such
Provider’s or Recipient’s internal document retention policies. Upon receipt of reasonable notice, each Party shall, to the
extent permitted by Law, give the other Party and/or the other Party’s duly authorized representatives access, during normal business
hours, to such records as the requesting Party may reasonably require to fulfil any legal, regulatory or other compliance obligations
of the requesting Party or its Affiliates; provided that nothing in this Section 11(b) shall require any Party to provide
to the other Party access to its Tax returns or related workpapers. Each Party, when exercising its rights pursuant to this Section
11(b), shall use its, and shall ensure that its representatives shall use their, reasonable best efforts not to cause any material
disruption to the business of the other Party.
(c)
Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including any exhibits and schedules attached hereto, the Combination Agreement and the
other Additional Agreements constitute the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements related thereto (whether written or oral), all of which are merged herein. To
the extent that any provision in this Agreement (or any exhibit or schedule) is inconsistent or conflicts with any provision of the Combination
Agreement or any other Additional Agreement, the provisions of the Combination Agreement shall control in the case of a conflict with
this Agreement, and this Agreement shall control in the case of a conflict with any Additional Agreement.
(d)
Notices. Any notice, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be sent in writing and shall be
deemed to have been duly given by delivery in person, by e-mail (having obtained electronic delivery confirmation thereof (i.e.,
an electronic record of the sender that the e-mail was sent to the intended recipient thereof without an “error” or similar
message that such e-mail was not received by such intended recipient)), or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt
requested) (upon receipt thereof) to the other Party as follows:

(e)
Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature
page to this Agreement by e-mail or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.
(f)
Binding Effect; Assignment. Subject to the provisions set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and upon their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement and the rights and obligations
hereunder shall not be assignable or transferable by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties hereto, except that
either Party may assign this Agreement without the other Party’s consent (i) in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of
all or any portion of the equity or assets of such Party or its Affiliates, provided the assigning Party remains liable for the assignee’s
performance of this Agreement, (ii) to any of its Affiliates, provided the assigning Party remains liable for such Affiliate’s performance
of this Agreement, and (iii) as collateral to any lender providing financing to such Party. Any assignment in violation of the foregoing
will be null and void at the outset and of no force and effect.
(g)
Force Majeure. Subject to, and without limiting, Section 2(i), each Party shall be excused for any failure or delay
in performing any of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent and only for such period of time such failure or delay is caused
by Force Majeure, except to the extent that such failure or delay cannot reasonably be circumvented through the use of alternate sources,
workaround plans or other means (including by invoking any business continuity or disaster recovery plans in place). For purposes of
this Agreement, “Force Majeure” means any circumstance or event beyond the reasonable control of the Party
relying upon such event or circumstance, including: any act of God; any accident, explosion, fire, ice, earthquake, lightning, tornado,
hurricane, or other severe weather condition or calamity; any third-party telecommunications, networks or Internet service interruptions;
any civil disturbance; any sabotage or acts of terrorism; any acts of a public enemy, uprising, insurrection, civil unrest, war, or rebellion;
or any action or restraint by court order or public or Authority or lawfully established civilian authorities. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Section 11(g) or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that a COVID-19
pandemic and business disruptions related thereto or resulting from responses thereto (including COVID-19 Measures and any related non-performance
or delay in performance of any third-party vendor, service provider, or subcontractor upon which a Party relies) (such pandemic, disruptions,
or any other pandemic that is of a similar nature or as similar disruptions or effects as such pandemic, a “COVID Event”)
is and has been occurring as of the Effective Date. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that no COVID Event, nor any recurrence
of a COVID Event that results in effects or business disruptions that are similar to those effects and disruptions experienced prior
to and as of the Effective Date, shall be considered to be a Force Majeure event or otherwise excuse any failure or delay in performance
by a Party under this Agreement.
(h)
Independent Contractor Status. Provider will provide the Services as an independent contractor and shall have no authority
to make binding contracts or commitments on behalf of Recipient in any way without the prior written approval of a duly authorized representative
of Recipient. Provider shall be solely responsible for the salary and benefits for all of its employees providing the Services. Nothing
in this Agreement shall create any employer-employee, agency, partnership, joint venture, fiduciary or other relationship between the
Parties or between a Party and the employees of the other.
(i)
No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and its
successors and permitted assigns and, except as provided in Section 6, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended
to or shall confer upon any other Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
(j)
Amendments; Waivers.
(i) This Agreement cannot be amended, supplemented or modified, except by a writing signed by both Parties, and cannot be amended,
supplemented or modified orally or by course of conduct. No provision hereof may be waived, except by a writing signed by the Party against
whom such waiver is to be enforced, and any such waiver shall apply only in the particular instance in which such waiver shall have been
given.
(ii)
Neither any failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or in requiring satisfaction of any condition herein nor
any course of dealing shall constitute a waiver of or prevent any Party from enforcing any right or remedy or from requiring satisfaction
of any condition. No notice to or demand on a Party waives or otherwise affects any obligation of that Party or impairs any right of the
Party giving such notice or making such demand, including any right to take any action without notice or demand not otherwise required
by this Agreement.
(k)
Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective
and valid under applicable Law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under
applicable Law, all other provisions of this Agreement 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. Upon such determination that any
term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, the Parties shall negotiate in good
faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order
that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
(l)
Construction; Interpretation. Each of the Parties, and their respective counsel, have reviewed, negotiated and adopted this
Agreement as the joint agreement and understanding of the Parties. The terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen
by the Parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Party, but rather
this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the fair meaning thereof, having due regard to the benefits and rights
intended to be conferred upon the Parties hereto and the limitations and restrictions upon such rights and benefits intended to be provided.
The term “this Agreement” means this Transition Services Agreement together with the Schedules and Exhibits hereto, as the
same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated in accordance with the terms hereof. The headings set forth
in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Unless
otherwise indicated to the contrary herein by the context or use thereof: (a) the words, “herein,” “hereto,” “hereof”
and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the Schedules and Exhibits, and not to any particular section,
subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause set forth in this Agreement; (b) masculine gender shall also include the feminine and neutral
genders, and vice versa; (c) words importing the singular shall also include the plural, and vice versa; (d) the words “include,”
“includes” or “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (e) references
to “$” or “dollar” or “US$” shall be references to United States dollars; (f) the word “or”
is disjunctive but not necessarily exclusive; (g) the words “writing,” “written” and comparable terms refer to
printing, typing and other means of reproducing words (including electronic media) in a visible form; (h) the word “day” means
calendar day unless Business Day is expressly specified; (i) the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means
the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”; (j) all references to Articles,
Sections, Exhibits or Schedules are to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules of this Agreement; and (k) all references to any
Law will be to such Law as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or re-enacted from time to time. If any action under this Agreement
is required to be done or taken on a day that is not a Business Day, then such action shall be required to be done or taken not on such
day but on the first succeeding Business Day thereafter.
(m)
Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any action for breach of this Agreement may only be made
against, the Parties, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the Representatives of either Party shall have any
Liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the negotiation hereof or its subject matter or the transactions contemplated
hereby or the transactions contemplated hereby, including with respect to any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach
of this Agreement or in respect of any written or oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, except as expressly
provided herein or, for the avoidance of doubt, for claims pursuant to any Additional Agreement by any party(ies) thereto against any
other party(ies) thereto on the terms and subject to the conditions therein.

of Incorporation
Exhibit G
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF
[CARITAS THERAPEUTICS, INC.]1
a Delaware corporation
ARTICLE I. NAME OF CORPORATION
The name of this corporation
is Caritas Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Corporation”).
ARTICLE II. REGISTERED OFFICE AND AGENT
The address of the Corporation’s
registered office in the State of Delaware is 1209 Orange Street, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, Delaware 19801. The
name of its registered agent at such address is The Corporation Trust Company.
ARTICLE III. PURPOSE; EFFECTIVENESS
The nature of the business
or purposes to be conducted or promoted by the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized
under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). The Corporation is being incorporated in connection
with the domestication of ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“ARYA”), as a Delaware
corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the DGCL and Part XII of the Cayman Islands Companies Act (2021 Revision) (the “Domestication”).
This Certificate of Incorporation is being filed simultaneously with the Certificate of Corporate Domestication of ARYA, and shall be
effective upon the effectiveness of the Domestication.
ARTICLE IV. CAPITAL STOCK
A. Authorized Shares
(i)
The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the Corporation shall have the authority to issue is [●]
shares, consisting of (i) [●] shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”),
(ii) [●] shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock” and, together
with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”), and (iii) [●] shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001
per share (the “Preferred Stock”).
(ii)
The number of authorized shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased by the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon,
without a separate vote of the holders of any of the Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Preferred Stock,, irrespective of the
provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL (or any successor provision thereto), provided that the number of authorized shares of Class
A Common Stock shall not be decreased below the sum of (a) the number of Class A Common Shares then outstanding and (b) the number of
Class A Shares to be issued upon the exchange of Caritas LLC Common Units (as defined below) for Class A Common Shares as set forth in
Clause B(v) of this Article IV. Upon the effectiveness of the Domestication and this Certificate of Incorporation, each Class A ordinary
share, par value $0.0001 per share, of ARYA and each Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of ARYA that is issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Domestication will, for all purposes, be converted into one (1) fully paid and non-assessable share of Class
A Common Stock issued and outstanding, without any action required on the part of the Corporation or the holders thereof.
1
ARYA and Amber GT shall mutually agree on a name.
B. Common Stock
(i)
Voting Rights. Each share of Common Stock outstanding as of the applicable record date shall entitle the holder thereof
to one (1) vote on any matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders. Except as otherwise required by the DGCL or as provided
in this Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall vote together as a single class
on all matters on which stockholders are generally entitled to vote (or, if any holders of any series of Preferred Stock are entitled
to vote together with the holders of Common Stock, as a single class with such holders of Preferred Stock). In addition to any other vote
required in this Certificate of Incorporation or by the DGCL, the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall each
be entitled to vote separately as a class only with respect to amendments to this Certificate of Incorporation that increase or decrease
the par value of the shares of such class or alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the shares of such class so
as to affect them adversely. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise required by the DGCL, holders of Common Stock shall not
be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation relating to any series
of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected
series are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant
to the DGCL or this Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock).
(ii)
Dividends and Distributions. Subject to any other provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation, as it may be amended
from time to time, holders of shares of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive ratably, in proportion to the number of shares
of Class A Common Stock held by them, such dividends and other distributions in cash, stock or property of the Corporation when, as and
if declared thereon by the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) from time to time out of
assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefor. Except (I) in connection with a dividend declared by the Board in
connection with a “poison pill” or similar stockholder rights plan, or (II) as provided in Clause (B)(iv) of this Article
IV, dividends and other distributions shall not be declared or paid on the Class B Common Stock.
(iii)
Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up (either voluntary or
involuntary) of the Corporation, after payments to creditors of the Corporation that may at the time be outstanding, and subject to the
rights of any holders of any series of Preferred Stock that may then be outstanding, holders of shares of Class A Common Stock shall be
entitled to receive ratably, in proportion to the number of shares held by them, all remaining assets and funds of the Corporation available
for distribution. The holders of shares of Class B Common Stock shall not be entitled to receive any assets of the Corporation in the
event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation.
(iv)
Reclassification. None of the Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock may be subdivided, consolidated, reclassified
or otherwise changed unless contemporaneously therewith the other class of Common Stock and the Caritas Therapeutics, LLC Membership Interests
(as defined below) are subdivided, consolidated, reclassified or otherwise changed in the same proportion and in the same manner.
(v)
Exchange. The holder of each membership interest (“Caritas LLC Membership Interest”) of Caritas Therapeutics,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Caritas LLC”), designated as a “Common Unit” (a “Caritas
LLC Common Unit” and such holder, a “Caritas LLC Member”), other than the Corporation, shall, pursuant to
the terms and subject to the conditions of the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of Caritas Therapeutics, LLC (as
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Caritas LLC Agreement”),
have the right (the “Redemption Right”) to tender to Caritas LLC for redemption each such Caritas LLC Common Unit for
the applicable Cash Amount (as defined in the Caritas LLC Agreement), subject to the Corporation’s right, in its sole and absolute
discretion, to elect to acquire some or all of such Caritas LLC Common Units that such Caritas LLC Member has tendered pursuant to the
Redemption Right for a number of shares of Class A Common Stock, the Cash Amount (as defined in the LLC Agreement) or a combination of
Class A Common Stock and a portion of the Cash Amount (the “Exchange Option”), in the case of each of the Redemption
Right and the Exchange Option, on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Certificate of Incorporation and in the Caritas
LLC Agreement.
(1)
In connection with the Corporation’s exercise of the Exchange Option under the Caritas LLC Agreement, the Corporation shall
issue to such Caritas LLC Member a number of shares of Class A Common Stock as determined by the terms and provisions of the Caritas
LLC Agreement in exchange for the Caritas LLC Common Units that the Corporation has elected to acquire pursuant to the Exchange Option,
subject, at all times, to the Corporation’s right, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Caritas LLC Agreement, to
elect to deliver the applicable Cash Amount in lieu of issuing shares of Class A Common Stock, or to elect to deliver a combination
of shares of Class A Common Stock and a portion of the Cash Amount, with the form and allocation of consideration determined in accordance
with the Caritas LLC Agreement. No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issued upon the Corporation’s exercise
of the Exchange Option. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Caritas LLC Member would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation
shall pay to the Caritas LLC Member cash equal to the value of the fractional shares of Class A Common Stock (as determined in accordance
with the Caritas LLC Agreement).
(2)
Concurrently with any redemption of Caritas LLC Common Units pursuant to the Redemption Right or exchange of Caritas LLC Common
Units pursuant to the Exchange Option, a number of shares of Class B Common Stock held by such Caritas LLC Member equal to the number
of Caritas LLC Common Units redeemed or exchanged, in each case shall be automatically, without further action by such Caritas LLC Member
or the Corporation, transferred to the Corporation for no additional consideration and shall be retired and resume the status of authorized
and unissued shares of Class B Common Stock, and all rights of such Caritas LLC Member with respect to such shares, including the
rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall thereupon cease and terminate.
(3)
Such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as may from time to time be required for exchange pursuant to the terms of Clause
(B)(v)(1) of this Article IV shall be reserved for issuance upon exchange of outstanding Caritas LLC Common Units.
(vi)
Transfers.
(1)
Without limiting any Caritas LLC Member’s ability to effect their Redemption Right or the Corporation’s ability to
effect the Exchange Option in compliance with Clause (B)(v) of this Article IV, no holder of Class B Common Stock shall be permitted
to consummate a sale, pledge, conveyance, hypothecation, assignment or other transfer (“Transfer”) of Class B
Common Stock other than with a concurrent Transfer of an equal number of Caritas LLC Common Units, in each case made to the same transferee
in compliance with the restrictions on transfer contained in the Caritas LLC Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, whether pursuant to
a Permitted Transfer (as defined in the Caritas LLC Agreement) or otherwise in compliance with Section 10.3 of the Caritas LLC Agreement).
Any purported Transfer of Class B Common Stock not in accordance with the terms of this Clause (B)(vi) of this Article IV shall
be void ab initio.
(2)
The Corporation may, as a condition to the Transfer or the registration of Transfer of shares of Class B Common Stock, require
the furnishing of such affidavits or other proof as it deems necessary to establish whether such Transfer is permitted pursuant to the
terms of this Clause (B)(vi)(1) of this Article IV.
(vii)
Adjustments to Relevant Securities. In the event of any split or reverse split of any of the Relevant Securities (as defined
below), or a distribution of any Relevant Securities to the holders of such Relevant Securities, unless a similar transaction is effected
with respect to the other types of Relevant Securities, references herein to a number of shares or units of any type of Relevant Securities,
or a ratio of one type of Relevant Securities to another, shall be adjusted as appropriate to reflect such split, reverse split or distribution.
For example, if there is a one-for-two reverse split of Caritas LLC Common Units, but no similar reverse split of shares of Class B
Common Stock, and a holder of Caritas LLC Common Units and shares of Class B Common Stock subsequently tenders Caritas LLC Common
Units for redemption pursuant to the Redemption Right or the Exchange Option, then the number of such holder’s shares of Class B
Common Stock that will be automatically transferred to the Corporation and retired pursuant to Clause (B)(v)(2) of this Article IV will
be equal to twice the number of Caritas LLC Common Units tendered for redemption. “Relevant Securities” means Class A
Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Caritas LLC Common Units.
(viii)
Retirement of Class B Common Stock. In the event that (1) any Caritas LLC Membership Interest is consolidated or otherwise
cancelled or retired or (2) any outstanding share of Class B Common Stock held by a holder of a corresponding Caritas LLC Membership
Interest otherwise shall cease to be held by such holder, in each case, whether as a result of exchange, reclassification, redemption
or otherwise, then the corresponding share(s) of Class B Common Stock (in the case of (1)) or such share of Class B Common Stock
(in the case of (2)) shall automatically and without further action on the part of the Corporation or any holder of Class B Common
Stock be transferred to the Corporation for no consideration and thereupon shall be retired and restored to the status of authorized but
unissued shares of Class B Common Stock.
C. Preferred Stock
The Preferred Stock may be
issued from time to time in one or more series pursuant to a resolution or resolutions providing for such issue duly adopted by the Board
of Directors (authority to do so being hereby expressly vested in the Board of Directors). The Board of Directors is further authorized,
subject to limitations prescribed by law, to fix by resolution or resolutions the designations, powers, preferences and rights, and the
qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of any series of Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, authority to fix
by resolution or resolutions the dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including
sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, and liquidation preferences of any such series, and the number of shares constituting
any such series and the designation thereof, or any of the foregoing. The Board of Directors is further authorized to increase (but not
above the total number of authorized shares of the class) or decrease (but not below the number of shares of any such series then outstanding)
the number of shares of any series, subject to the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions
thereof stated in this Certificate of Incorporation or the resolution of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares
of such series. Except as may be otherwise specified by the terms of any series of Preferred Stock, if the number of shares of any series
of Preferred Stock is so decreased, then the Corporation shall take all such steps as are necessary to cause the shares constituting such
decrease to resume the status which they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.
ARTICLE V. STOCKHOLDER ACTION
A. Action Without a Meeting
From and after the effectiveness
of this Certificate of Incorporation, and subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted to be
taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company
and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.
B. Special Meetings
Unless otherwise required
by the DGCL, and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation,
for any purpose or purposes, may be called only by a majority of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation.
ARTICLE VI. DIRECTORS
The following provisions are
inserted for the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and for further definition, limitation
and regulation of the powers of the Corporation and of its directors and stockholders:
A. Powers of the Board of Directors
(i)
The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.
(ii)
The directors in their discretion may submit any contract or act for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders
or at any meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, any contract or act that shall be approved or be ratified by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the total voting
power of all of the then-outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation, which is represented in person or by proxy at such meeting and
entitled to vote thereon (provided that a lawful quorum of stockholders be there represented in person or by proxy), shall be as valid
and binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as though it had been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the
Corporation, whether or not the contract or act would otherwise be open to legal attack because of directors’ interests, or for
any other reason.
(iii)
In addition to the powers and authorities hereinbefore or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered
to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation, subject, nevertheless, to
the provisions of the DGCL, this Certificate of Incorporation and to any Bylaws adopted from time to time by the stockholders; provided,
however, that no Bylaw so adopted shall invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have been valid if such Bylaw had
not been adopted.
B. Election of Directors
At each annual meeting of
stockholders, directors of the Corporation shall be elected to hold office until the expiration of the term for which they are elected
and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal; except that if any such
meeting shall not be so held, such election shall take place at a stockholders’ meeting called and held in accordance with the DGCL.
C. Number and Class of Directors; Term
of Office
(i)
Subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock, the number of directors that constitutes the entire Board of Directors of
the Corporation shall be fixed only by resolution of the Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the
Whole Board. For the purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation, the term “Whole Board” shall mean the total number
of authorized directorships whether or not there exist any vacancies or other unfilled seats in previously authorized directorships. At
each annual meeting of stockholders, directors of the Corporation shall be elected to hold office until the expiration of the term for
which they are elected and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal;
except that if any such meeting shall not be so held, such election shall take place at a stockholders’ meeting called and held
in accordance with the DGCL.
(ii)
Effective immediately following the Domestication, the directors of the Company (other than any who may be elected by holders of
Preferred Stock under specified circumstances) shall be divided into three classes as nearly equal in size as is practicable, hereby designated
Class I, Class II and Class III. Directors already in office shall be assigned to each class at the time such classification becomes effective
in accordance with a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors. At the first annual meeting of stockholders following
the date hereof, the term of office of the Class I directors shall expire and Class I directors shall be elected for a full term of three
years. At the second annual meeting of stockholders following the date hereof, the term of office of the Class II directors shall expire
and Class II directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the third annual meeting of stockholders following the date
hereof, the term of office of the Class III directors shall expire and Class III directors shall be elected for a full term of three years.
At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors shall be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors
of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting. If the number of directors is changed, any newly created directorships or decrease
in directorships shall be so apportioned hereafter among the classes as to make all classes as nearly equal in number as is practicable,
provided that no decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.
(iii)
The initial Class I Directors of the Corporation shall be [[Amber GT Parent Designee] and [Agreed Designee #1]]; the initial Class
II Directors of the Corporation shall be [[Amber GT Parent Designee] and [Agreed Designee #2]]; and the initial Class III Directors of
the Corporation shall be [[ARYA Designee], [Agreed Designee #3] and [Agreed Designee #4]].
(iv)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the directors elected to each class shall hold office until their successors are duly elected and
qualified or until their earlier resignation, death or removal.
D. Removal
Any director may be removed
from office (i) only with cause and (ii) only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting stock (as
defined below) of the Corporation. At least forty-five (45) days prior to any annual or special meeting of stockholders at which it is
proposed that any director be removed from office, written notice of such proposed removal and the alleged grounds thereof shall be sent
to the director whose removal will be considered at the meeting. In case that any one or more directors should be so removed, new directors
may be elected at the same time for the unexpired portion of the full term of the director or directors so removed.
E. Vacancies
Except as the DGCL may otherwise
require, in the interim between annual meetings of stockholders or special meetings of stockholders called for the election of directors
and/or the removal of one or more directors and the filling of any vacancy in that connection, any and all vacancies in the Board of Directors
(however occurring, including, without limitation, by reason of newly created directorships, death, resignation or removal) may be filled
only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining
director. Any director appointed in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the
class of directors in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until such director’s successor shall have
been duly elected and qualified. When the number of directors is increased or decreased, the Board of Directors shall, subject to Clause
(C) of this Article VI, determine the class or classes to which the increased or decreased number of directors shall be apportioned;
provided, however, that no decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director. In the
event of a vacancy in the Board of Directors, the remaining directors, except as otherwise provided by law, shall exercise the powers
of the full Board of Directors until the vacancy is filled.
ARTICLE VII. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
(i)
To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, a person who serves as a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable
to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. If the DGCL is amended to authorize
corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation
shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this Article
VII by the stockholders of the Corporation or by amendment to the DGCL, shall not adversely affect any right or protection with respect
to events occurring prior to the time of such amendment, repeal or modification, of a person serving as a director of the Corporation
at the time of such amendment, repeal or modification.
(ii)
Subject to any provisions in the Bylaws of the Corporation related to indemnification of directors of the Corporation, the Corporation
shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, any director of the Corporation who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(a “Proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director of the Corporation or is or was serving
at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any such Proceeding. The Corporation
shall be required to indemnify a person in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if the Proceeding
(or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors.
(iii)
The Corporation shall have the power to indemnify, to the extent permitted by the DGCL, any officer, employee or agent of the Corporation
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit
plans, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by such person in connection with any such Proceeding.
(iv)
Neither any amendment, repeal nor elimination of any clause of this Article VII, nor the adoption of any provision of this
Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation inconsistent with this Article VII, shall eliminate or reduce the
effect of this Article VII in respect of any matter occurring, or any Proceeding accruing or arising or that, but for this Article
VII, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment, repeal, elimination or adoption of an inconsistent provision.
ARTICLE VIII. EXCLUSIVE FORUM
Unless the Corporation consents
in writing to the selection of an alternative forum (an “Alternative Forum Consent”), the Court of Chancery of the
State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (A) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation,
(B) any action asserting a claim of breach of a duty (including any fiduciary duty) owed by any current or former director, officer, stockholder,
employee or agent of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (C) any action asserting a claim against
the Corporation or any current or former director, officer, stockholder, employee or agent of the Corporation arising out of or relating
to any provision of the DGCL, this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws (each, as in effect from time to time), or (D) any action
asserting a claim against the Corporation or any current or former director, officer, stockholder, employee or agent of the Corporation
governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that, in the event that
the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction over any such action or proceeding, the sole and
exclusive forum for such action or proceeding shall be another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, in each such
case, unless the Court of Chancery (or such other state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, as applicable) has dismissed
a prior action by the same plaintiff asserting the same claims because such court lacked personal jurisdiction over an indispensable party
named as a defendant therein. Unless the Corporation gives an Alternative Forum Consent, the federal district courts of the United States
of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting
a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Failure to enforce the foregoing provisions would cause the Corporation
irreparable harm and the Corporation shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, to enforce
the foregoing provisions. Any person or entity purchasing, otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of capital stock of the
Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article VIII. The existence of any prior Alternative
Forum Consent shall not act as a waiver of the Corporation’s ongoing consent right as set forth above in this Article VIII with
respect to any current or future actions or claims.
ARTICLE IX. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
A. Opt-Out
The Corporation elects to
not be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL.
B. Limitations on Business Combinations
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Corporation shall not engage in any business combination (as defined below) with any interested stockholder (as defined below) for
a period of three (3) years following the time that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:
(i)
prior to such time, the Board of Directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder
becoming an interested stockholder,
(ii)
upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder
owned at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the voting stock (as defined below) of the Corporation outstanding at the time the transaction
commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested
stockholder) those shares owned by (1) persons (as defined below) who are directors and also officers of the Corporation and (2) employee
stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will
be tendered in a tender or exchange offer, or
(iii)
at or subsequent to such time, the business combination is approved by the Board of Directors and authorized at an annual or special
meeting of stockholders, by the affirmative vote of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the outstanding voting stock
which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

in the absence of proof by a preponderance of the evidence to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a presumption of control shall
not apply where such person holds voting stock, in good faith and not for the purpose of circumventing this Article IX, as an agent, bank,
broker, nominee, custodian or trustee for one or more owners who do not individually or as a group have control of such entity.
(viii)
“interested stockholder” means any person (other than the Corporation and any direct or indirect majority-owned
subsidiary of the Corporation) that is (1) the owner of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation

limitation set forth herein is the result of any action taken solely by the Corporation; provided, further, that such person
shall be an interested stockholder if thereafter such person acquires additional shares of voting stock of the Corporation, except as
a result of further corporate action not caused, directly or indirectly, by such person. For the purpose of determining whether a person
is an interested stockholder, the voting stock of the Corporation deemed to be outstanding shall include stock deemed to be owned by the
person through application of the definition of “owner” below but shall not include any other unissued stock of the Corporation
which may be issuable pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon exercise of conversion rights, warrants or options,

or options, or otherwise; provided, however, that a person shall not be deemed the owner of stock tendered pursuant to a
tender or exchange offer made by such person or any of such person’s affiliates or associates until such tendered stock is accepted
for purchase or exchange; or (b) the right to vote such stock pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding; provided,
however, that a person shall not be deemed the owner of any stock because of such person’s right to vote such stock if the
agreement, arrangement or understanding to vote such stock arises solely from a revocable proxy or consent given in response to a proxy
or consent solicitation made to ten (10) or more persons; or (3) has any agreement, arrangement or understanding for the purpose of acquiring,
holding, voting (except voting pursuant to a revocable proxy or consent as described in item (b) of clause (2) above), or disposing of
such stock with any other person that beneficially owns, or whose affiliates or associates beneficially own, directly or indirectly, such
stock.

interest.

with respect to any corporation, stock of any class or series entitled to vote generally in the election of directors and, with respect
to any entity that is not a corporation, any equity interest entitled to vote generally in the election of the governing body of such
entity. Every reference to a percentage of voting stock in this Certificate of Incorporation shall refer to such percentage of the votes
of such voting stock.
D. Exceptions to Limitations on Business
Combinations
The limitations contained in this Article IX shall
not apply if:
(i)
a stockholder becomes an interested stockholder inadvertently and (1) as soon as practicable divests itself of ownership of sufficient
shares so that the stockholder ceases to be an interested stockholder and (2) would not, at any time within the three-year period immediately
prior to a business combination between the Corporation and such stockholder, have been an interested stockholder but for the inadvertent
acquisition of ownership;

of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules, regulations and schedules promulgated thereunder.

thereof, shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, not less than ten (10) or more than sixty (60) days

or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise
required by law or provided by the Certificate of Incorporation. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any
meeting of the stockholders, the holders of a majority of the voting power present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power
to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented.
At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted
at the meeting as originally noticed. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record
date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at such
adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.
2.5 Organization.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors shall act as chairman of meetings of the stockholders. The Board of Directors may designate any
other officer or director of the Corporation to act as chairman of any meeting in the absence of the Chairman of the Board of Directors,
and the Board of Directors may further provide for determining who shall act as chairman of any stockholders meeting in the absence of
the Chairman of the Board of Directors and such designee. The Chairman of the Board of Directors may be removed as Chairman at any time
by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Directors. The Secretary of the Corporation or an Assistant Secretary shall act

any other person to act as secretary of any meeting.

brought before any meeting of stockholders shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power
of the capital stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon. At all meetings of stockholders for the

provided by the Certificate of Incorporation. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize any person
or persons to act for him or her by proxy. No proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the
proxy provides for a longer period. The Board of Directors, in its discretion, or the Chairman of the Board or such other person presiding
at a meeting of stockholders, in the Chairman’s or such other person’s discretion, as applicable, may require that any votes
cast at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot.

every meeting of stockholders, prepare and make a complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders; provided,

in alphabetical order and showing the address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in his or her name. Such list

required by Section 2.8, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

or postponed from time to time by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or person presiding at the meeting or the stockholders, without
the need for approval thereof by stockholders to reconvene or convene, respectively at the same or some other place. Notice need not
be given of any such adjourned or postponed meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if
any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned or postponed meeting are
announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken or, with respect to a postponed meeting, are publicly announced.

by law, any contract or act that shall be approved or be ratified by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting
power of the stock of the Corporation which is represented in person or by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote thereon (provided
that a lawful quorum of stockholders be there represented in person or by proxy) shall be as valid and binding upon the Corporation and
upon all the stockholders as though it had been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation, whether or not the contract
or act would otherwise be open to legal attack because of directors’ interests, or for any other reason.

In advance of any meeting of the stockholders, the Corporation shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a
written report thereof, and the election of directors and any vote by ballot at any meeting of the stockholders shall be supervised by
at least one such appointed inspector. If the inspector so appointed shall refuse to serve or shall not be present, a replacement appointment
shall be made by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or person presiding at the meeting.

an applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws a different vote is required, the vote of a majority of directors
present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors. At any meeting of the Board of Directors,
business shall be transacted in such order and manner as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. If a quorum shall not
be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors, the directors present thereat may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, adjourn

of Directors. Meetings of the Board of Directors shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, or in his or her absence,

person as the Board of Directors may designate or the members present may select.
3.6 Actions
of Board of Directors Without Meeting. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action
required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting,
if all members of the Board of Directors or of such committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission,
and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors
or committee.
3.7 Removal
of Directors by Stockholders. Any director may be removed by the stockholders only in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation.

3.9 Committees.
Subject to the Director Nomination Agreement, the Board of Directors may designate one or more committees, each committee to consist
of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. Subject to the Director Nomination Agreement, in the absence or disqualification
of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he
or she or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place

of special or standing committees may be allowed like compensation for attending committee meetings.

Directors. No contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between the Corporation
and any other corporation, partnership, association, or other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers are directors
or officers or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer
is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction,
or solely because his, her or their votes are counted for such purpose, if (a) the material facts as to his, her or their relationship
or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and the Board
of Directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested

or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract
or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders or (c) the contract or transaction is fair as
to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified, by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof or the stockholders.
Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a
committee which authorizes the contract or transaction.
3.12 Meetings
by Means of Conference Telephone. Members of the Board of Directors or any committee designed by the Board of Directors may participate
in a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee of the Board of Directors by means of conference telephone or similar communications
equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to

upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing
such issuance of a new stock certificate or uncertificated shares, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent
to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or his or her legal representative, to give
the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect
to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
5.4 Fixing
Record Date.
(a) In
order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof,
the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted
by the Board, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting.
If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting
unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the
date for making such determination. If the Board does not fix a record date for any meeting of the stockholders, the record date for
determining stockholders entitled to notice and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the day next preceding
the day on which notice of such meeting is given, or, if notice is waived, the close of business on the day next preceding the day on
which the meeting is held.
(b) In
order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment
of any rights, or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in connection with any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or
for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which
the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such action.
If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be the close of business on the day
on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.
(c) A
determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment
of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
5.5 Registered
Stockholders. Prior to due presentment for transfer of any share or shares, the Corporation shall treat the registered owner thereof
as the person exclusively entitled to vote, to receive notifications and to all other benefits of ownership with respect to such share
or shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any
other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of
Delaware.
5.6 Transfer
and Registry Agents. The Corporation may from time to time maintain one or more transfer offices or agencies and registry offices
or agencies at such place or places as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.
Article VI
NOTICES
6.1 Form of
Notice. If mailed, notice to stockholders shall be deemed given when deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder
at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise
may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders may be given by electronic transmission in the manner provided in
Section 232 of the DGCL.
6.2 Waiver
of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given under the provisions of law or the Certificate of Incorporation or by these
Bylaws of the Corporation, a written waiver, signed by the person or persons entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated
therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting,
except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of
any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any
regular, or special meeting of the stockholders, Directors, or members of a committee of Directors need be specified in any written waiver
of notice unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation.
Article VII
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
7.1 To
the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as the same exists or as may hereafter be amended, a person who serves as a director of the
Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as
a director. If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors,
then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so
amended. Any repeal or modification of this Section 7.1 shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director
of the Corporation with respect to events occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.
7.2 To
the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only
to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation
to provide prior to such amendment), the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason
of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation,
is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an employee or agent of the Corporation or as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including a subsidiary of the Corporation) (any
person in such a position, an “Indemnified Person”), whether the basis of such action, suit or proceeding is alleged
action in an official capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer
of the Corporation, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses and amounts paid in settlement actually
and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such Indemnified Person acted in good faith
and in a manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such Indemnified Person’s conduct was unlawful;
provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 7.9 of these Bylaws with respect to proceedings to enforce
rights to indemnification or advancement, the Corporation shall indemnify any such Indemnified Person in connection with a proceeding
(or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnified Person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors.
The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its
equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnified Person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
7.3 The
Corporation hereby acknowledges that an Indemnified Person may have certain rights to other indemnification, advancement of expenses
and/or insurance from persons other than the Corporation (collectively, the “Other Indemnitors”). The Corporation
hereby agrees that with respect to any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses and amounts paid
in settlement arising by reason of the fact that such Indemnified Person is or was an Indemnified Person, (a) that the Corporation
is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to an Indemnified Person are primary and any obligation of the Other Indemnitors
to advance expenses, provide indemnification or otherwise pay for the same amounts incurred by such Indemnified Person are secondary),
(b) that the Corporation shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by an Indemnified Person in accordance
with this Article VII and shall be liable for the full amount of all amounts to the extent legally permitted and as required
by the terms of these Bylaws (or any other agreement between the Corporation and an Indemnified Person), without regard to any rights
an Indemnified Person may have against the Other Indemnitors, and (c) that the Corporation irrevocably waives, relinquishes and
releases the Other Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Other Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery
of any kind in respect thereof. The Corporation further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Other Indemnitors on behalf of an
Indemnified Person with respect to any claim for which such Indemnified Person has sought indemnification or advancement from the Corporation
shall affect the foregoing and the Other Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or to be subrogated to the extent of such
advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Indemnified Person against the Corporation. The Corporation and each
Indemnified Person agree that the Other Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Article VII.
7.4 Expenses
(including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
action, suit or proceeding referenced in Section 7.12 shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition
of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if
it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. The rights to indemnification
and advancement of expenses conferred by this Section 7.4 shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an
Indemnified Person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs,
executors and administrators.
7.5 For
purposes of any determination under this Article VII, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner
such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful, if such person’s action is
based on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such person by the officers
of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another
enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public
accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The provisions
of this Section 7.5 not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed
to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Article VII.
7.6 Any
repeal or amendment of this Article VII or by changes in the DGCL, or the adoption of any other provision of the Certificate
of Incorporation or these Bylaws inconsistent with this Article VII, shall, unless otherwise required by the DGCL, be prospective
only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification or advancement
rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection
existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision in respect of any proceeding (regardless
of when such proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) arising out of or related to any act or omission occurring prior
to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.
7.7 The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to this Article VII shall not be deemed exclusive
of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another
capacity while holding such office.
7.8 The
Corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was an Indemnified Person against any
liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether
or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of this Article VII.
7.9 If
a claim under Section 7.2 or 7.4 of these Bylaws is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after
a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the
applicable period shall be twenty (20) days, the Indemnified Person may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to
recover the unpaid amount of the claim. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, if successful in whole or in part in any such suit,
or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses, the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to be paid also
the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (a) any suit brought by the Indemnified Person to enforce a right to indemnification
hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the Indemnified Person to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense
that, and (b) in any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall be entitled to
recover such expenses only upon a final adjudication that, the Indemnified Person has not met any applicable standard for indemnification
set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee
of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit
that indemnification of the Indemnified Person is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnified Person has met the applicable standard
of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such
action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the Indemnified Person has not met such applicable
standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnified Person has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the
case of such a suit brought by the Indemnified Person, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnified Person to enforce
a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses,
the burden of proving that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article VII
or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.
7.10 For
purposes of this Article VII, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references
to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references
to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service which imposes duties on, or involves services by,
the Indemnified Person with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith
and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan
shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Article VII.
7.11 The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VII shall continue as to a
person who has ceased to be an Indemnified Person and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a
person.
7.12 The
Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement
of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article VII with
respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of Indemnified Persons.

Agreement as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, none of the Parties shall have any further obligations or Liabilities under,
or with respect to, this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the termination
of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6(b) shall not affect any Liability on the part of any Party for a willful and material
breach of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement prior to such termination, (ii) Sections 1(a), 2 and 5
and Sections 10, 14 and 15 (in each case, solely to the extent related to the foregoing Sections 1(a),

shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
7. Non-Recourse.
This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any action for breach of this Agreement may only be made against, the Parties, and without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the Representatives of any Party shall have any Liability arising out of or relating
to this Agreement, the negotiation hereof or its subject matter or the transactions contemplated hereby, including with respect to any
claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of this Agreement or in respect of any written or oral representations made
or alleged to be made in connection herewith, except as expressly provided herein or, for the avoidance of doubt, for claims pursuant
to the Business Combination Agreement or any other Additional Agreement by any party(ies) thereto against any other party(ies) thereto
on the terms and subject to the conditions therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) in no event shall
any Insider have any obligations or Liabilities related to or arising out of the covenants, agreements or obligations of any other Insider
under this Agreement (including related to or arising out of the breach of any such covenant, agreement or obligation by any other Insider),
and (ii) in no event shall ARYA have any obligations or Liabilities related to or arising out of the covenants, agreements or obligations
of any Insider under this Agreement (including related to or arising out of any breach of any such covenant, agreement or obligation
by any such Insider).
8. Fiduciary
Duties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) each Class B Shareholder makes no agreement or understanding
herein in any capacity other than in such Shareholder’s capacity as a record holder and beneficial owner of ARYA Class B Shares,
and not, in the case of any Insider, in such Insider’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of ARYA, and (b) nothing herein
will be construed to limit or affect any action or inaction by any Insider or any representative of the ARYA Sponsor serving as a member
of the board of directors (or other similar governing body) of ARYA or as an officer, employee or fiduciary of ARYA, in each case, acting
in such person’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or fiduciary of ARYA.
9. No
Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in Section 3 or Section 7, this Agreement shall be for the sole benefit
of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not intended, nor shall be construed, to give any Person,
other than the Parties and their respective successors and assigns, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever
by reason this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall constitute the Parties, partners or
participants in a joint venture.
10. Remedies.
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 (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that each Party
shall be entitled to seek 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 they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties 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.
11. Fees
and Expenses. Except, in the case of ARYA and Amber GT, as otherwise expressly set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, all
fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the fees and disbursements
of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, shall be paid by the Party incurring such fees or expenses; provided, that, any
such fees and expenses incurred by the Insiders on or prior to the Closing shall, in the sole discretion of the ARYA Sponsor, be allocated
to ARYA and deemed to be ARYA Expenses.
12. No
Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement will be deemed to vest in Amber GT or any of its Affiliates or ARYA or any
its Affiliates any direct or indirect ownership or incidents of ownership of or with respect to the ARYA Shares held by any Class B Shareholder.
All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the applicable ARYA Shares shall remain vested in and belong to each applicable
Class B Shareholder, and Amber GT and ARYA (and each of their respective Affiliates) shall have no authority to exercise any power or
authority to direct any Insider in the voting of any of the ARYA Shares owned by him, her or it (if any), except as otherwise expressly
provided herein with respect to the ARYA Shares owned by him, her or it (if any). Except as otherwise set forth in Section 1(b),
no Class B Shareholder shall be restricted from voting in favor of, against or abstaining with respect to any other matters presented
to the shareholders of ARYA.
13. Amendments
and Waivers; Assignment. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified if, and only if, such amendment or modification
is in writing and signed by the Parties, and any provision of this Agreement may be waived if, and only if, such waiver is in writing
and signed by the Party(ies) against whom such waiver is sought. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by any Party in exercising
any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further
exercise of any other right hereunder. Subject to Section 8, none of this Agreement or any of the rights, interests or obligations
hereunder shall be assignable by (a) an Insider without the prior written consent of ARYA and Amber GT, (b) Amber GT without the prior
written consent of the ARYA Sponsor and ARYA or (c) ARYA without the prior written consent of the ARYA Sponsor and Amber GT. Any attempted
amendment or assignment of this Agreement not in accordance with the terms of this Section 13 shall be null and void ab initio.
14. Notices.
Any notice, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be sent in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
given by delivery in person, by email (having obtained electronic delivery confirmation thereof (i.e., an electronic record of the sender
that the email was sent to the intended recipient thereof without an “error” or similar message that such email was not received
by such intended recipient)), or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) (upon receipt thereof) to

in such Registration and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof (such written demand a “Demand Registration”).
The Company shall, within ten (10) 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 “Demand Requesting Holder”) shall
so notify the Company, in writing, within five (5) 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 Demand Requesting Holder(s) to the Company, such Demand Requesting Holder(s) shall
be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration and the Company shall effect,
as soon thereafter as practicable, but not more than thirty (30) days immediately after the Company’s receipt of the Demand Registration,
the Registration of all Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Holders and Demand Requesting Holders pursuant to such Demand
Registration; provided, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any Registration under this subsection
2.1.1 if the Demanding Holders and Demand Requesting Holders propose to sell Registrable Securities with aggregate proceeds of
less than $25,000,000.
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, however,
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 for purposes of counting Registrations under subsection 2.1.1 above 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, however, 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 has been 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 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 Demand 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 a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders, such Underwriter(s) to be reasonably acceptable to
the Company.
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 Demand Requesting Holders (if any) in writing
that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Demand Requesting Holders (if any) desire
to sell, taken together with all other Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and the 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 stockholders 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 Demand Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities
that each Demanding Holder and Demand Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Registration and the aggregate
number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and Demand 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), 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), 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. Amber GT or a majority-in-interest of the Perceptive Holders, as the case may be, in the
case of a Registration under subsection 2.1.1 initiated by Amber GT or the Perceptive Holders, as the case may be, or
any Demand Requesting Holders (if any) 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(s) (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 (or after such Registration Statement has been declared effective and is subsequently
interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission, federal or state court or any other governmental agency).
Section 2.2.
Piggyback Registration.
2.2.1
Piggyback Rights. If 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 stockholders of the Company (other than pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.3 of
this Agreement), 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 stockholders, (iii) for an offering of debt
that is convertible into equity securities of the Company, (iv) filed on Form S-4 related to any merger, acquisition or business combination,
or (v) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to all of the Holders of Registrable
Securities as soon as practicable but not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement or
applicable Prospectus, 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(s), 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 five (5) days after receipt of such written notice (such Registration a “Piggyback Registration”).
The Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter(s) 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.
2.2.2
Reduction of Piggyback Registration. If the managing Underwriter(s) in an Underwritten Registration that is to be a Piggyback
Registration, 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 Common Stock that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) the shares
of 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 to Section 2.2.1 hereof, and (iii) the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has
been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the
Maximum Number of Securities, then:
|
(i)
|
If the Registration is undertaken for the Company’s account (which, for the avoidance of doubt,
shall not include an offering of securities by the Company for the purpose of delivering cash to Amber GT or its transferee in connection
with an exchange of Amber GT Units pursuant to the LLC Agreement, such a Registration being considered to be a Registration by Amber GT
or its transferee, such Registration to be subject to the reduction procedures set forth in subsection 2.1.4 or subsection 2.3.6, as applicable),
the Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first, Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, that the Company desires
to sell, 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 hereof, Pro Rata, based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has
so requested, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number
of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, 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; and
|
|
(ii)
|
If the Registration is pursuant 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, 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
based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested, 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), 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

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, or, if such Piggyback Registration is in connection with an underwritten
offering pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement, then prior to the public announcement of such offering. 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
Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by
it under this Section 2.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder of Registrable Securities
has elected to include securities in such registration.
Section 2.3.
Resale Shelf Registration Rights.
2.3.1
Registration Statement Covering Resale of Registrable Securities. The Company shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared
and filed with the Commission, no later than fifteen (15) days following the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”),
a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act or any successor
thereto registering the resale from time to time by Holders of all of the Registrable Securities held by the Holders (the “Resale
Shelf Registration Statement”). The Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (or, if Form S-3 is not available
to be used by the Company at such time, on Form S-1 or another appropriate form permitting Registration of such Registrable Securities
for resale). If the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is initially filed on Form S-1 and thereafter the Company becomes eligible to
use Form S-3 for secondary sales, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, cause such Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be
amended, or shall file a new replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement, such that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is on
Form S-3. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective
as soon as possible after filing; provided, however, that the Company’s obligations to include the Registrable
Securities held by a Holder in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement are contingent upon such Holder furnishing in writing to the Company
such information regarding the Holder, the securities of the Company held by the Holder and the intended method of disposition of the
Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and the
Holder shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a
selling stockholder in similar situations. Once effective, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Resale Shelf
Registration Statement and Prospectus included therein continuously effective and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary
to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, to ensure that another Registration Statement is available,
under the Securities Act at all times until the earliest of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities and other securities covered
by such Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in such Registration
Statement and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have ceased
to be Registrable Securities. The Registration Statement filed with the Commission pursuant to this subsection 2.3.1 shall
contain a prospectus in such form as to permit any Holder to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities
Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) at any time beginning on the effective date for such
Registration Statement (subject to lock-up restrictions provided in Section 5.1 of this Agreement), and shall provide
that such Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by,
Holders.
2.3.2
Notification and Distribution of Materials. The Company shall notify the Holders in writing of the effectiveness of the
Resale Shelf Registration Statement as soon as practicable, and in any event within one (1) Business Day after the Resale Shelf Registration
Statement becomes effective, and shall furnish to them, without charge, such number of copies of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement
(including any amendments, supplements and exhibits), the Prospectus contained therein (including each preliminary prospectus and all
related amendments and supplements) and any documents incorporated by reference in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or such other
documents as the Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale of the Registrable Securities in the manner described
in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement.
2.3.3
Amendments and Supplements. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3.1 above, the Company shall promptly
prepare and file with the Commission from time to time such amendments and supplements to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and
Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement effective and to comply with
the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all the Registrable Securities. If any Resale Shelf Registration
Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.3.1 is filed on Form S-3 and thereafter the Company becomes ineligible to use Form
S-3 for secondary sales, the Company shall promptly notify the Holders of such ineligibility and use its commercially reasonable efforts
to file a shelf registration on an appropriate form as promptly as practicable to replace the shelf registration statement on Form S-3
and have such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as practicable and to cause such replacement
Resale Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such
Resale Shelf Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Resale Shelf Registration Statement is available,
for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable
Securities; provided, however, that at any time the Company once again becomes eligible to use Form S-3, the Company
shall cause such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be amended, or shall file a new replacement Resale Shelf Registration
Statement, such that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is once again on Form S-3.
2.3.4
SEC Cutback. Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 2.3, in the event the Commission
informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale
as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the Holders thereof and
use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement as required by the Commission and/or
(ii) withdraw the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”)
on Form S-3, or if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company for such registration statement, on such other form available to register
for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment
or New Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration
of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with any publicly -available written or oral guidance, comments, requirements or requests
of the Commission staff (the “SEC Guidance”). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance
sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a
secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of
all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to further limit its Registrable
Securities to be included on the Registration Statement, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement
will be reduced on a Pro Rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders, subject to a determination
by the Commission that certain Holders must be reduced first based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders. In the
event the Company amends the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses
(i) or (ii) above, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission
or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or
such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Resale Shelf
Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement.
2.3.5
Underwritten Shelf Takedown. At any time and from time to time after a Resale Shelf Registration Statement has been declared
effective by the Commission, the Holders may request to sell all or any portion of the Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering
that is registered pursuant to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided, however,
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 or commissions) reasonably expected to exceed,
in the aggregate, $15,000,000. All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company at
least seven (7) 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. Except in the case of a requested Underwritten Shelf Takedown in the form of a Block
Trade, following receipt of a request for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, the Company shall promptly notify the other Holders of the request
and of their right to participate in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown, which shall specify the anticipated public announcement date. 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 48 hours prior to the anticipated public announcement date of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown
set forth in the Company notice pursuant to written contractual piggyback registration rights of such Holder (including those set forth
herein). All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Shelf Takedown under this subsection
2.3.5 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 Takedown Requesting Holders initiating the Underwritten Shelf Takedown.
2.3.6
Reduction of Underwritten Shelf Takedown. If the managing Underwriter(s) in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith,
advise(s) the Company and the Takedown Requesting Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the
Takedown Requesting Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of the 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 Takedown Requesting Holders, on a Pro Rata basis, 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 Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, 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 clause (ii) and (iii) the Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, 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.
2.3.7
Block Trades. If the Company shall receive a request from a Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities with an estimated
market value of at least $15,000,000 that the Company effect the sale of all or any portion of such Registrable Securities in an Underwritten
Shelf Takedown in the form of a Block Trade, then the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible, cooperate and effect the offering in
such Block Trade of the Registrable Securities for which such requesting Holder has requested such offering, without giving any effect
to any required notice periods or delivery of notices to any other Holders.

Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, or (c) in the good
faith judgment of the Board, would be materially detrimental to the Company, the Company shall have the right to defer the filing, initial
effectiveness or continued use of any Registration Statement pursuant to (a), (b) or (c) for a period of not more than ninety (90) consecutive
days or more than one hundred and twenty (120) total calendar days in any 12-month period. 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.
Section 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 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 and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings. 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 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), including providing
any customary legal opinions as reasonably requested. 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.
Section 3.6.
Limitations on Registration Rights. Other than the registration rights granted to the purchasers under the Subscription Agreements
to be entered into on about the date hereof with certain investors relating to the private placement of shares of Common Stock as provided
for in the Business Combination Agreement, the Company represents and warrants that no person or entity, 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 Statement filed by the Company for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other
person or entity. The Company hereby agrees and covenants that it will not grant rights to register any Common Stock (or securities convertible
into or exchangeable for Common Stock) pursuant to the Securities Act that are more favorable, pari passu or senior to those granted to
the Holders hereunder without (a) the prior written consent of (i) Perceptive Holders holding at least a majority in interest of the then-outstanding
number of Registrable Securities held by all Perceptive Holders in their capacity as Perceptive Holders (provided the Perceptive Holders
or their Permitted Transferees hold Registrable Securities at such time) and (ii) Amber GT (provided Amber GT or its Permitted Transferees
hold Registrable Securities at such time); or (b) granting economically and legally equivalent rights to the Holders hereunder such that
the Holders shall receive the benefit of such more favorable or senior terms and/or conditions. 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 any conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.
Article
IV
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION
Section 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 agents 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 Underwriter(s), their officers and directors and each person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such
Underwriter(s) 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 (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Company 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 actually received by such Holder
from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify
the Underwriter(s), their officers, directors and each person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such Underwriter(s)
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, however, 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, conditioned or delayed).
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 (pursuant to subsection 4.1.5) 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 actually
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.
4.1.6
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in any underwriting
agreement entered into in connection with an underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions
in the underwriting agreement shall control.
Article
V

5.2.12 the
establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however,
that such plan does not provide for the Transfer of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for
Common Stock during the Lock-Up Period;
provided, however, that in
the case of any Transfer pursuant to Sections 5.2.2 through 5.2.10, each donee, distribute, pledgee or other
transferee shall agree in writing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to be bound by the provisions of this
Agreement, provided further, however, that the foregoing requirement shall not apply with respect to pledges made by Amber
GT or any of its Permitted Transferees pursuant to requirements under agreements governing borrowings or the incurrence of any indebtedness
by Parent and its subsidiaries.
Section 5.3. Termination
of Existing Lock-Up. The lock-up provisions in this ARTICLE V shall supersede the lock-up provisions contained in Section
5 of the Sponsor Letter Agreement and Section 1.C.(i) of the Private Placement Shares Purchase Agreement, which provisions shall be of

that any such waiver, amendment or repeal shall (i) not make such restrictions more restrictive or apply for a longer period of time,

or otherwise) or any agreement with a Non-Corporation Member (as defined in the LLC Agreement) that (A) shortens, or has the effect of
shortening, the “Lock-up Period” (as defined in the LLC Agreement (as in effect following the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement)) (the “LLC Lock-Up Period”) with respect to a Non-Corporation
Member or (B) prior to the end of the LLC Lock-up Period, that allows, or has the effect of allowing, a Non-Corporation Member to transfer
its Common Units to any Person other than to a Permitted Transferee (as defined in the LLC Agreement (as in effect following the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement), and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein)

(i) and (ii), a “Permitted Transferee”). This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Company hereunder
may not be assigned or delegated by the Company in whole or in part. Any assignment made other than as provided in this Section 7.3 shall
be null and void.
Section 7.4.
Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto (and its respective

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, (x) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the
courts in Delaware as described herein for any reason, (y) 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 (z) 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.
Section 7.6.
Waiver of Jury Trial. 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 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 7.6.
Section 7.7.
Headings; Interpretation. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only
and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation
and drafting of this Agreement. If any ambiguity or question of intent arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly
by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party because of the authorship of any provision
of this Agreement. Unless the context of this Agreement clearly requires otherwise, use of the masculine gender shall include the feminine
and neutral genders and vice versa, and the definitions of terms contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as
the plural forms of such terms. The words “includes” or “including” shall mean “including without limitation.”
The words “hereof,” “hereby,” “herein,” “hereunder” and similar terms in this Agreement
shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not any particular section or article in which such words appear, the word “extent”
in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends and such phrase shall not mean
simply “if.” Any reference to a law shall include any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and shall mean such law
as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented. References herein to any contract (including this Agreement) mean such contract
as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof.
Section 7.8.
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf) transmission)
in 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.
Section 7.9.
Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement
was not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof,
in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereby further waives (a) any defense in any action for specific
performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite
to obtaining equitable relief.
Section 7.10.
Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by (i) the Company, (ii) Perceptive
Holders holding at least a majority in interest of the then-outstanding number of Registrable Securities held by all Perceptive Holders
in their capacity as Perceptive Holders (provided the Perceptive Holders or their Permitted Transferees hold Registrable Securities at
the time of such amendment), and (iii) Amber GT (provided Amber GT or its Permitted Transferees hold Registrable Securities at the time
of such amendment); 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 Registrable Securities, in a manner that is materially different from the other
Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Holder so affected.
Section 7.11.
Waiver. At any time, (i) the Company may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any Holder,
(b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of any Holder contained herein or in any document delivered by such Holder
pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any agreement of such Holder or any condition to its own obligations contained herein. At
any time, (i) the Holders may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of the Company, (b) waive any inaccuracy
in the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein or in any document delivered by the Company pursuant hereto and
(c) waive compliance with any agreement of the Company or any condition to their own obligations contained herein. Any such extension
or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby.
Section 7.12.
Further Assurances. At the request of the Company, in the case of any Holder, or at the request of any Holder, in the case
of the Company, and 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 to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
Section 7.13.
Prior Agreement Superseded. Pursuant to Section 5.6 of the Prior Agreement, the undersigned parties who are parties to such
Prior Agreement hereby terminate the Prior Agreement upon the consummation of the transactions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement,
with the intent and effect that the Prior Agreement shall hereby be replaced and superseded in its entirety by this Agreement.
Section 7.14.
No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express
their mutual intent and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party.
