Re: Initial Public Offering
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter (this “Letter Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with the
Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) entered into by and among Learn CW Investment Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), Evercore Group L.L.C. (the “Underwriter”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “Public Offering”) of 28,750,000 of the Company’s units (including 3,750,000 units that may be purchased pursuant to the Underwriter’s option to purchase additional units, the “Units”),
each comprised of one of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), and one-third of one redeemable warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units will be sold in the Public Offering pursuant
to a registration statement on Form S-1 and a prospectus (the “Prospectus”) filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 1 hereof.
In order to induce the Company and the Underwriter to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the Public Offering and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned (the “Investor”) hereby agrees with the Company as follows:
1. Definitions. As used herein, (i) “Business Combination” shall mean a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination, with one or more businesses or entities; (ii) “Public Shares” shall mean the Ordinary Shares included in the Units issued in the Public Offering; and (iii) “Transfer” shall mean
the (a) sale of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agreement to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establishment or increase of a put equivalent
position or liquidation with respect to or decrease of a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder with
respect to, any security, (b) entry into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such
securities, in cash or otherwise, or (c) public announcement of any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (a) or (b).
2. Representations and Warranties. The Investor represents and warrants to the
Company that it has the full power and authority, without violating any agreement to which it is bound, to enter into this Letter Agreement.

3. Business Combination Vote. The Investor agrees that if the Company seeks
shareholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination, then in connection with such proposed initial Business Combination, it, she or he, as applicable, shall vote all Public Shares held by it, her or him, as applicable, in favor of such
proposed initial Business Combination (including any proposals recommended by the Board in connection with such Business Combination).
4. Lock-up; Transfer Restrictions. During the period commencing on the effective
date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 60 days after such date (the “Lock-Up Period”), the Investor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, Transfer any
Units, Ordinary Shares, Warrants or any other securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Ordinary Shares held by it.
5. Remedies. The Investor hereby agrees and acknowledge that (i) the Underwriter
and the Company would be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by the Investor of its obligations, as applicable under paragraphs 3 and 4,
(ii) monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for such breach and (iii) the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy that such party may have in law or in equity, in the event of such breach.
6. Termination. This Letter Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the
expiration of the Lock-up Period and (ii) the liquidation of the Company.
7. Entire Agreement. This Letter Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and
understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject
matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby. This Letter Agreement may not be changed, amended, modified or waived (other than to correct a typographical error) as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by
all parties hereto.
8. Assignment. No party hereto may assign either this Letter Agreement or any of
its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest
or title to the purported assignee. This Letter Agreement shall be binding on the Investor and its respective successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns and permitted transferees.
9. Counterparts. This Letter Agreement may be executed in any number of original
or facsimile counterparts, and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Letter Agreement or of any other term or provision hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or
provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part of this Letter Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid and enforceable.

enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. The parties hereto (i) all agree that any
action, proceeding, claim or dispute arising out of, or relating in any way to, this Letter Agreement shall be brought and enforced in the courts of New York City, in the State of New York, and irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction and venue,
which jurisdiction and venue shall be exclusive, and (ii) waive any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and venue or that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.
13. Notices. Any notice, consent or request to be given in connection with any of
the terms or provisions of this Letter Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by express mail or similar private courier service, by certified mail (return receipt requested), by hand delivery or facsimile transmission.
