At or before the First Effective Time, Acquiror shall deposit with the Exchange Agent (i) the number of shares of Acquiror Class B Common Stock equal to the Ordinary Stock Election Consideration, (ii) the number of shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock equal to the BHC Stock Election Consideration and (iii) the number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class C Common Stock equal to the Non-Voting Stock Election Consideration.

(b) Each holder of shares of Company Capital Stock and of Company Warrants as of the Company Record Date (as defined below) (each a “Holder”), shall be entitled to receive such portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, upon exchange of their shares of Company Capital Stock and of their Company Warrants for shares of Acquiror Capital Stock in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in the exchange agent agreement executed between the Acquiror and the Exchange Agent. No interest shall be paid or accrued upon the transfer of any share.

(c) Each Holder shall automatically be deemed to have made an Ordinary Stock Election by the Exchange Agent and shall not be required to complete a Form of Election (as defined below). Each Holder that is eligible to make a BHC Stock Election or Non-Voting Stock Election shall have the right, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article III, to submit an Election (as defined below) in accordance with this clause (c) on or prior to the Election Deadline. The Company shall not waive the Election Deadline unless such Election Deadline is waived with respect to all Holders, the new election deadline is disclosed by the Company

-5-

to all Holders on a date agreed to by Acquiror, and Acquiror has otherwise given its prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such waiver. “Election Deadline” means 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date which the parties shall agree is as near as practicable to three (3) Business Days preceding the Closing Date. The parties shall cooperate to inform each eligible Holder of the selected date of the Election Deadline not more than fifteen (15) Business Days before, and at least five (5) Business Days prior to, the Election Deadline.

(d) Each Holder that is eligible to make a BHC Stock Election or Non-Voting Stock Election may specify in a request made in accordance with the provisions of this clause (d)(i) (an “Election”) whether such Holder desires to make a (A) solely in the event that such Holder establishes that it is a Bank Holding Company, a BHC Stock Election, or (B) Non-Voting Stock Election, in each case with respect to some or all of the shares of Company Common Stock held by such Holder (or, as applicable, that will be held by such Holder on an as converted basis). If any such Holder fails to apply an Election to all of such Holder’s shares of Company Common Stock, the portion of such Holder’s shares of Company Common Stock with respect to which such Holder did not attempt to make an Election shall be automatically treated as an Ordinary Stock Election or in the case of SoftBank only, a Non-Voting Stock Election.

(e) Acquiror shall prepare a form of election that is reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Form of Election”) and if requested by any holder eligible to make a BHC Stock Election or Non-Voting Stock Election, Acquiror shall mail, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail and deliver, the Form of Election to any such Holders as of the record date established by the Board of Directors of the Company, in consultation with Acquiror, for purposes of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval by written consent (the “Company Record Date”) not less than 10 Business Days prior to the anticipated Election Deadline or if later, two (2) Business Days after such request (the period between such mailing and the Election Deadline, the “Election Period”) . Acquiror shall use reasonable best efforts to make available one or more Forms of Election as may reasonably be requested from time to time by all persons who become Holders during the period following the Company Record Date and prior to the Election Deadline that are eligible to make a BHC Stock Election or Non-Voting Stock Election.

(f) Any Election shall have been made properly only if the Exchange Agent shall have received, by the Election Deadline, (A) a Form of Election properly completed and signed in accordance with the instructions therein, and (B) the properly completed and executed documents required to be delivered by such Holder pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 3.2. Any Holder who is a holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock (not including the Excluded Shares) that does not make a valid Election by the Election Deadline shall be deemed to have made, as applicable, an Ordinary Stock Election or, in the case of SoftBank only, a Non-Voting Stock Election.

-6-

(g) Any Holder may, at any time during the Election Period, revoke his, her or its Election by written notice to the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline, together with a properly completed and signed revised Form of Election. Any subsequent transfer of such Holder’s shares of Company Common Stock or Company Warrants after such Holder has made an Election shall automatically revoke such Election (and such subsequent transferee may make a new Election pursuant to and if permitted by the terms of clause (c)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all Elections shall be automatically deemed revoked upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of written notification from the Company or Acquiror that this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Article X. The Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine if any Election is not properly made, changed or revoked with respect to any shares of Company Common Stock or Company Warrants (none of the Company, Acquiror, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent being under any duty to notify any Holder of any applicable defect). In the event the Exchange Agent makes a reasonable determination that an Election was not properly made (including as a result of the Exchange Agent not receiving an Election by the Election Deadline), such Election shall be deemed to be ineffective, and if the Holder is a holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock (not including the Excluded Shares), then the Holder shall be deemed to have made, an Ordinary Stock Election or, in the case of SoftBank only, a Non-Voting Stock Election, with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock covered by the ineffective Election.

(h) Promptly following the date that is one (1) year after the First Effective Time, Acquiror shall instruct the Exchange Agent to deliver to Acquiror all documents in its possession relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Exchange Agent’s duties shall terminate. Thereafter, any portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration that remains unclaimed shall be returned to Acquiror, and any Person that was a Holder of shares of Company Common Stock as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time that has not exchanged such shares of Company Common Stock for an applicable portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.2 prior to the date that is one (1) year after the First Effective Time, may transfer such shares of Company Common Stock to Acquiror and (subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and similar Laws) receive in consideration therefor, and Acquiror shall promptly deliver, such applicable portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration without any interest thereupon. None of Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Company, the First-Step Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any of the Aggregate Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to and in accordance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. If any such shares shall not have not been transferred immediately prior to such date on which any amounts payable pursuant to this Article III would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, any such amounts shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

-7-

(i) In the event that the Company or Acquiror changes the number of shares of Company Common Stock, Acquiror Common Stock, shares of capital stock of the Company, shares of capital stock of Acquiror or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of Company Common Stock, Acquiror Common Stock, shares of capital stock of the Company or shares of capital stock of Acquiror, as applicable, issued and outstanding prior to the First Effective Time as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, subdivision, exchange or readjustment of shares, or other similar transaction (other than the Preferred Stock Conversion, the Domestication, the PIPE Investment and any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements), then any number or amount contained herein which is based upon the price of Acquiror Common Stock, or the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock or Company Common Stock, as the case may be, the Stock Consideration, the Cash Consideration, and any other similarly dependent items shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change; provided, however, that nothing in this (f) shall be deemed to permit or authorize any party hereto to effect any such change that it is not otherwise authorized or permitted to undertake pursuant to this Agreement.

(xvi) Section 3.5 (Dissenting Shares) of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

Section 3.5 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who is entitled to demand and has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares of Company Common Stock being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws, or loses such holder’s appraisal rights under the DGCL with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if, after the First Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, waives, withdraws, or loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL such shares of Company Common Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the First Effective Time into the right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.1 without interest thereon, upon transfer of such shares. The Company shall provide Acquiror prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock, any waiver or withdrawal of any such demand, and any other demand, notice, or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the First Effective Time that relates to such demand. Except with the prior written consent of Acquiror (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, delayed or denied), the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle, or offer to settle, any such demands.

Section 7.2 Trust Account Proceeds. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article IX and provision of notice thereof to the Trustee (which notice Acquiror shall provide to the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement), (i) in accordance with and pursuant to the Trust Agreement, at the Closing, Acquiror (A) shall cause any documents, opinions and notices required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement to be so delivered and (B) shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Trustee to, and the Trustee shall thereupon be obligated to (1) pay as and when due all amounts payable to Acquiror Shareholders pursuant to the Acquiror Share Redemptions, (2) pay all Company Transaction Expenses and Acquiror Transaction Expenses, and (3) all remaining amounts then available in the Trust Account to Acquiror for working capital and general corporate purposes, subject to this Agreement and the Trust Agreement and (ii) thereafter, the Trust Account shall terminate, except as otherwise provided therein.

(xviii) Section 7.10(b) (Subscription Agreements—Reasonable Best Efforts) of the Merger Agreement is hereby modified and amended by adding the following text as the final sentence thereof:

In addition, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, to the extent any such Additional Financing Arrangement is entered into prior to Closing, Section 6.1(d) of the Merger Agreement shall apply to the Company’s entry into such an alternative arrangement or agreement in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence to the extent consent under Section 6.1(d) of the Merger Agreement would be required if such alternative arrangement or agreement were entered into prior to the date hereof.

(xx) Section 9.3(c) (Conditions to the Obligations of the Company—Minimum Available Cash Condition) of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
