The obligations of the Sponsor specified in this Section 1 shall apply whether or not the Mergers or any action described above is recommended by the Acies Board or the Acies Board previously recommended the Mergers but changed such recommendation.

2.             No Inconsistent Agreements.

(a)               The Sponsor is the only record and a beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of, and has good, valid and marketable title to, the Covered Shares, free and clear of Liens other than as created by this Agreement or the Acies Organizational Document.

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Sponsor and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Sponsor enforceable against the Sponsor in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity.

(d)               Other than the filings, notices and reports pursuant to, in compliance with or required to be made under the Exchange Act, no filings, notices, reports, consents, registrations, approvals, permits, waivers, expirations of waiting periods or authorizations are required to be obtained by the Sponsor from, or to be given by the Sponsor to, or be made by the Sponsor with, any Governmental Authority in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Sponsor of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

(e)               The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Sponsor does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will not, constitute or result in (i) a breach or violation of, or a default under, the limited liability company agreement or similar governing documents of the Sponsor, (ii) with or without notice, lapse of time or both, a breach or violation of, a termination (or right of termination) of or a default under, the loss of any benefit under, the creation, modification or acceleration of any obligations under or the creation of a Lien on any of the properties, rights or assets of the Sponsor pursuant to any Contract binding upon the Sponsor or, assuming (solely with respect to performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby) compliance with the matters referred to in Section 3(d), under any applicable Law to which the Sponsor is subject or (iii) any change in the rights or obligations of any party under any Contract legally binding upon the Sponsor, except, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) directly above, as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or impair the Sponsor’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, the consummation of the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

(f)                As of the date of this Agreement, there is no action, proceeding or investigation pending against the Sponsor or, to the knowledge of the Sponsor, threatened against the Sponsor that questions the beneficial or record ownership of the Covered Shares, the validity of this Agreement or the performance by the Sponsor of its obligations under this Agreement.

(g)               Neither the Sponsor nor any of its Affiliates has ever been suspended or expelled from membership in any securities or commodities exchange or association or had a securities or commodities license or registration denied, suspended or revoked.

(h)               Other than as set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto, neither the Sponsor nor any Affiliate of the Sponsor, nor any director or officer of the Sponsor or Acies, shall receive (or be entitled to receive) from Acies, PubCo or the Company any finder’s fee, reimbursement, consulting fee, monies or consideration in the form of equity in respect of any repayment of a loan or other compensation prior to, or in connection with, any services rendered in order to effectuate the consummation of Acies’ initial Business Combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is, but including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Mergers).

(i)                 Except as described on Section 5.19 of the Acies Disclosure Schedule, no broker, finder, investment banker or other Person is entitled to any brokerage fee, finders’ fee or other commission (including any deferred underwriting commission) in connection with the Transactions (including the PIPE Financing) or as a result of the Closing based upon arrangements made by Sponsor, for which Acies or any of its Affiliates may become liable.

(j)                 Other than as set forth on Schedule 3 attached hereto (any agreement set forth thereon, a “Sponsor Affiliate Agreement”), none of the Sponsor or, to the knowledge of such Sponsor, any Affiliate of Sponsor or any other Person in which Sponsor has a direct or indirect legal, contractual or beneficial ownership of 5% or greater is party to, or has any rights with respect to or arising from, any agreement with Acies or its Subsidiaries.

4.              Certain Covenants of the Sponsor. The Sponsor hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

(a)           No Solicitation. From the date hereof until the Termination Date, the Sponsor agrees not to, directly or indirectly:

The Sponsor shall promptly (and in any event within 48 hours of the date of this Agreement) notify the Company after receipt by the Sponsor of any Acies Business Combination Proposal, any inquiry or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acies Business Combination Proposal or any inquiry or request for nonpublic information relating to Acies and its Subsidiaries by any Person who has made or would reasonably be expected to make an Acies Business Combination Proposal. Thereafter, the Sponsor shall keep the Company reasonably informed, on a prompt basis (and in any event within 48 hours), regarding any material changes to the status and material terms of any such proposal or offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sponsor may respond to any such inquiry or proposal only by indicating that Sponsor is unable to provide any information or entertain any proposals or offers or engage in any negotiations or discussions. The Sponsor agrees that, following the date hereof, it and its Representatives shall cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, solicitations, discussions or negotiations by the Sponsor or its Representatives with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Acies Business Combination Proposal. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) the Sponsor shall not be responsible for the actions of Acies or the Acies Board (or any committee thereof), any Subsidiary of Acies, or any officers, directors (in their capacity as such), employees and professional advisors of any of the foregoing (the “Acies Related Parties”), including with respect to any of the matters contemplated by this Section 4(a), (y) the Sponsor makes no representations or warranties with respect to the actions of any of Acies Related Parties, and (z) any breach by Acies of its obligations under Section 8.12 of the Merger Agreement shall not be considered a breach of this Section 4(a) (it being understood for the avoidance of doubt that the Sponsor shall remain responsible for any breach by it or its Representatives (other than any such Representative that is a Acies Related Party) of this Section 4(a)).

(b)          Merger Agreement Compliance. Sponsor shall be bound by and comply with Section 8.04 (Confidentiality; Publicity)) of the Merger Agreement (and any relevant definitions contained therein) as if Sponsor was an original signatory to the Merger Agreement (in the same manner as Acies) with respect to such provisions.

(c)           Support of the Mergers. From the date hereof until the Termination Date, the Sponsor shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary to consummate the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein and shall not take any action that would reasonably be expected to materially delay or prevent the satisfaction of any of the conditions to the Mergers set forth in Article 9 of the Merger Agreement.

(d)           Waiver of Anti-Dilution Protections. The Sponsor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (but subject to the consummation of the Mergers):

The Sponsor further agrees not to redeem any Sponsor Shares, any Acies Class A Ordinary Shares received upon the conversion of such Sponsor Shares or any other Covered Shares.

(e)           Pre-Closing Transfer Restrictions. From the date hereof until the Termination Date, the Sponsor hereby agrees not to, directly or indirectly, (i) Transfer any of the Sponsor’s Covered Shares or (ii) take any action that would make any representation or warranty of the Sponsor contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing or disabling the Sponsor from performing its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit a Transfer or forfeiture that is or has been agreed upon by the Company in writing (including pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement).

(f)          Post-Closing Transfer Restrictions. Sponsor shall not Transfer any Lockup Securities during the Lockup Period without the prior written consent of the PubCo Board (subject to the determination of the Board of Directors in its sole discretion at any time) (the restrictions set forth in this Section 4(f), the “Lockup”); provided Sponsor (together with any Permitted Transferee of Sponsor, a “Lockup Holder”) may Transfer Lockup Securities:

(ii)           as a bona fide gift or gifts, including to charitable organizations or for bona fide estate planning purposes;

(iii)          to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the Lockup Holder or the immediate family of the Lockup Holder, or if the Lockup Holder is a trust, to a trustor or beneficiary of the trust or to the estate of a beneficiary of such trust;

(iv)         to a partnership, limited liability company or other entity of which such Lockup Holder and the immediate family of such Lockup Holder are the legal and beneficial owner of all of the outstanding equity securities or similar interests;

(viii)        from an employee or a director of, or a service provider to, PubCo or any of its subsidiaries upon the death, disability or termination of employment, in each case, of such person;

(ix)       pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction that is approved by the PubCo Board and made to all holders of shares of PubCo’s capital stock involving a Change of Control (as defined below) (including negotiating and entering into an agreement providing for any such transaction), provided that in the event that such tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction is not completed, the Lockup Holder’s Lockup Securities shall remain subject to the Lockup; or

(x)        pursuant to transactions to satisfy any U.S. federal, state, or local income tax obligations of the Lockup Holder (or its direct or indirect owners) arising from a change in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Regulations”) after the date on which the Merger Agreement was executed, and such change prevents such transaction from qualifying as a “reorganization” pursuant to Section 368 of the Code (and such transaction does not qualify for similar tax-free treatment pursuant to any successor or other provision of the Code or Regulations taking into account such changes);

provided that:

(x) in the case of any Transfer of Lockup Securities pursuant to clauses (i) through (vii), (1) such Transfer shall not involve a disposition for value; (2) the transferee shall execute and deliver to the Company a letter agreement providing for the same restrictions on the transferred Lockup Securities as the Lockup; (3) any required public report or filing (including filings under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act), shall disclose the nature of such Transfer and that the Lockup Securities remain subject to the Lockup; and (4) there shall be no voluntary public disclosure or other announcement of such Transfer;

(z) the Lockup shall not apply to the transactions contemplated by Sections 4(f) or 5, except if any Unvested Shares become vested before the expiration of the Lockup Period, such vested shares shall be deemed to be Lockup Securities.

(h)               Each of Acies and the Sponsor shall comply with, and fully perform all of its respective obligations, covenants and agreements set forth in, that certain Letter Agreement, dated as of October 22, 2020, by and among the Sponsor and Acies (the “Letter Agreement”).

(i)                 From the date hereof until the Effective Time, neither Sponsor nor Acies shall modify or amend any Sponsor Affiliate Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company; provided that Acies and the Sponsor may amend that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated October 22, 2020 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), between the Company and Acies in the manner contemplated by the Merger Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company.

(j)                 Sponsor shall not convert any working capital loans it may make to Acies or any of its subsidiaries into any rights, options or warrants to purchase Acies Ordinary Shares or any shares of capital stock of PubCo or any other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Acies Ordinary Shares or shares of capital stock of PubCo.

For the avoidance of doubt, Sponsor Shares owned by Sponsor (or its Affiliates) as of the Closing other than the Unvested Shares shall not be subject to this Section 5 (and shall not be subject to forfeiture) at the Closing. Sponsor shall not Transfer any of the Unvested Shares, shall not have any economic or other rights as a stockholder with respect to Unvested Shares, shall not be entitled to vote any Unvested Shares and shall not be entitled to receive dividends or distributions on any of the Unvested Shares except for any stock dividends or other adjustments (as contemplated by Section 8), in each case until any such Unvested Shares become vested in accordance with Schedule 2, subject to Section 4(f).

6.             Further Assurances.

(a)               From time to time, at the Company’s request and without further consideration, the Sponsor shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary or reasonably requested to effect the actions and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Merger Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement to which Sponsor is a party. The Sponsor further agrees not to commence or participate in, and to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any action or claim, derivative or otherwise, relating to the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby against (i) Acies, Acies’ Affiliates or Acies’ directors or officers, (ii) the Company, the Company’s Affiliates or the Company’s officers or directors or (iii) any of their respective successors and assigns.
