Ladies and Gentlemen:
Rodina Capital or a third party investor designated by Rodina Capital (the “Investor”), intends to provide financing to Rubicon Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, through the issuance by the Company of debt and/or equity securities, including, without limitation, shares of capital stock, securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock, warrants, options, or other rights for the purchase or acquisition of such shares and other ownership or profit interests of the Company, all pursuant to a Financing Agreement, to be entered into by and among the Company, the Investor, and the other parties thereto (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Financing Agreement”). The Investor hereby commits to the Commitment (as hereinafter defined). Any debt issued pursuant to this letter would have a term of at least 12 months and any equity or equity linked securities issued under this letter would have a fixed price such that no other shareholder or other exchange approvals would be required.
This is to advise you that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth below, Investor hereby agrees to contribute, to the extent other equity or incremental debt capital of an equivalent amount has not been provided to the Company by December 31, 2023, to the Company an aggregate amount in cash equal to $15 million (the “Commitment”), which amount the Company in turn shall use for working capital and general corporate purposes; provided that Investor, will not under any circumstances, be obligated to contribute or cause to be contributed to the Company more than the Commitment.
This letter agreement, including the obligations set forth in paragraph 2, will automatically expire, with no additional notice required, and with no further liabilities or obligations upon the earliest of (i) the termination of the Commitment by mutual consent of the parties hereto, (ii) the termination of the Financing Agreement (once entered into) in accordance with its terms, (iii) immediately if the Company files for protection under bankruptcy laws, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, appoints or suffers appointment of a receiver or trustee over its property, files a petition under any bankruptcy or insolvency act or has any such petition filed against it, (iv) the consummation of the Closing (including satisfaction by the Investor in full of all of their respective funding obligations under the Financing Agreement), or (v) a successful recapitalization of the Company’s senior term loans with a new long-term loan of at least $75 million.

The rights and obligations of the Company set forth herein will not be assignable without the Investor’s prior written consent, and the granting of such consent in a given instance will be solely in the discretion of the Investor and, if granted, will not constitute a waiver of this requirement as to any subsequent assignment. The Investor’s obligations to fund the Commitment may not be assigned to any other Person other than to an Affiliate of Investor; provided, no such assignment shall relieve the Investor from any obligations under this letter agreement.
Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this letter agreement, each party hereto, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, covenants, agrees and acknowledges that, no recourse hereunder or under any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith will be had against any Related Party (as hereinafter defined) of the Investor or any Related Party of any such Related Parties, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceedings, or by virtue of any applicable law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever will attach to, be imposed on, or otherwise be incurred by any Related Party of the Investor or any Related Party of any such Related Parties, as such for any obligations of the Investor under this letter agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. None of the Investor or any of its Related Parties (other than the Company) or any Related Party of such Related Parties will have any liability for any debts, obligations or liabilities of the Company or any other person, except pursuant to the Limited Guaranty. For the purposes of this letter agreement, the terms “Related Party” and “Related Parties” mean, with respect to any person, any and all former, current or future directors, officers, employees, agents, general or limited partners, managers, members, stockholders or affiliates of such person.

All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of this letter agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
