2.   Insider Letter. VGII, Sponsor and each Insider hereby agree as follows (and Credit Suisse, on its own behalf and as representative of the several Underwriters, hereby consents and agrees to the following):

(a)   Voting; Non-Redemption. The Insider Letter provides in Section 1 thereof for certain requirements of Sponsor and the Insiders in respect of Business Combinations (as defined therein), including in respect of voting in favor thereof and forgoing redemption rights in respect thereof. The Transactions constitute a Business Combination and Sponsor and each Insider will comply with its, his or her respective obligations under such Section 1. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, at any duly called meeting of the stockholders of VGII (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), and in any action by written consent of the shareholders of VGII requested by VGII’s board of directors or undertaken as contemplated by the Transactions, Sponsor and each Insider shall, if a meeting is held, appear at the meeting, in person or by proxy, or otherwise cause its Ordinary Shares (including, but not limited to, Founder Shares), to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum, and Sponsor and each Insider shall vote or consent (or cause to be voted or consented), in person or by proxy, all of such shares (i) in favor of the adoption of the Transaction Agreement and approval of the Transactions (and any actions required in furtherance thereof), (ii) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would result in a breach in any respect of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement of VGII or Merger Sub contained in the Transaction Agreement, (iii) in favor of the proposals set forth in the Proxy Statement, and (iv) except as set forth in the Proxy Statement, against the following actions or proposals: (A) any proposal in opposition to approval of the Transaction Agreement or in competition with or materially inconsistent with the Transaction Agreement, (B) except for in connection with the Domestication, any amendment of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of VGII; (C)  except for in connection with the Domestication, any change in VGII’s corporate structure or business; or (D) any other action or proposal involving VGII or any of its subsidiaries that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Transactions in any material respect or would reasonably be expected to result in any of VGII’s closing conditions or obligations under the Transaction Agreement not being satisfied. Sponsor and each of the Insiders agree not to, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, enter into any agreement, commitment or arrangement with any person, the effect of which would be inconsistent with or violative of the provisions and agreements contained in this Section 2(a).

(b)   Lock-Up. The Insider Letter provides in Section 7 thereof for certain restrictions on Transfer of Founder Shares and Class A Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion thereof until the expiration of certain time periods or the happening of certain prior events. Notwithstanding, and in precedence to, the Insider Letter, from and after the time and date of the Domestication, (i) references in the Insider Letter to the Class A Shares and Class B Shares (including by reference to Units, Founder Shares and Warrants, among other things) shall include the shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of such Class A Shares and Class B Shares in connection with the Domestication, and (ii) 35% of the number of Class B Shares of Sponsor (such shares, together with the shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of such shares in connection with the Domestication, the “Earn-Out Shares”), as further set forth

under the heading “Number of Earn-Out Shares” on Exhibit A attached hereto opposite Sponsor’s name on such Exhibit (assuming no stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event occurs between the date hereof and the Closing), shall continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Insider Letter, and shall also be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 2(c), and the remaining 65% of such Class B Shares (and the shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of such shares in connection with the Domestication) and Warrants (and the shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon exercise of such Warrants) shall continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 7 of the Insider Letter for the time periods set forth therein. Earn-Out Shares shall continue to be Earn-Out Shares following their transfer to any permitted transferee under Section 7(c) of the Insider Letter.

(c)   Earn-Out.

(i)   With respect to the Earn-Out Shares, the Sponsor agrees that: (i) 50% of such Earn-Out Shares will automatically vest if the Stock Price (as defined below) equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (the “$12.50 Share Price Milestone”) on any 20 Trading Days (as defined below) (which may be consecutive or not consecutive) within any consecutive 30 Trading Day period that occurs after the Closing Date and on or prior to the ten-year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Earn-Out Period”); and (ii) 50% of such Earn-Out Shares will automatically vest if the Stock Price equals or exceeds $15.00 per share (the “$15.00 Share Price Milestone” and, each of the $15.00 Share Price Milestone and the $12.50 Share Price Milestone, a “Milestone”) for any 20 Trading Days (which may be consecutive or not consecutive) within any consecutive 30 Trading Day period that occurs after the Closing Date and on or prior to the expiration of the Earn-Out Period.

(ii)   Subject to the limitations contemplated herein, the Sponsor shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Continuing Delaware Corporation with respect to the Earn-Out Shares, including the right to receive dividends and to vote such shares; provided, that, subject to the provisions of this Section 2(c), the Earn-Out Shares shall not entitle the Sponsor to consideration in connection with any sale or other transaction, other than in connection with a Change of Control as set forth below, and may not be Transferred by Sponsor or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process without the consent of the Continuing Delaware Corporation, and shall bear a customary legend with respect to such transfer restrictions; provided, further, that Transfers are permitted to Permitted Transferees who shall (A) be subject to the restrictions in this Section 2(c)(ii) as if they were the original holders of such Earn-Out Shares and (B) promptly transfer such Earn-Out Shares back to the Sponsor if they cease to be a Permitted Transferee for any reason prior to the date such Earn-Out Shares become freely transferable in accordance herewith; provided, further, that, any such Permitted Transferee executes and delivers to the Continuing Delaware Corporation a written agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Continuing Delaware Corporation, agreeing to be bound by the restrictions herein. Any attempt to Transfer such Earn-Out Shares shall be null and void.

(iii)   If, upon the expiration of the Earn-Out Period, the $12.50 Share Price Milestone and/or the $15.00 Share Price Milestone have not occurred, then all Earn-Out Shares which would have otherwise vested in connection with such Milestone shall be automatically forfeited and deemed transferred to the Continuing Delaware Corporation and shall be automatically cancelled by the Continuing Delaware Corporation and cease to exist. For the avoidance of doubt, prior to such forfeiture, all Earn-Out Shares shall be entitled to any dividends or distributions made to the stockholders of the Continuing Delaware Corporation and shall be entitled to the voting rights generally granted to stockholders of the Continuing Delaware Corporation.

(iv)   In the event of occurrence of any Milestone, as soon as practicable (but in any event within five (5) Business Days), the Continuing Delaware Corporation shall deliver written notice thereof to the Sponsor.

(v)   In the event that after the Closing and prior to the expiration of the Earn-Out Period, (A) there is a Change of Control (or a definitive agreement providing for a Change of Control has been entered into prior to expiration of the Earn-Out Period and such Change of Control is ultimately consummated, even if such consummation occurs after the expiration of the Earn-Out Period), (B) any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Continuing Delaware Corporation (whether voluntary of involuntary) is initiated, (C) any bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement or similar proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or any dissolution or liquidation proceeding, is instituted by or against the Continuing Delaware Corporation, or a receiver is appointed for the Continuing Delaware Corporation or a substantial part of its assets or properties or (D) the Continuing Delaware Corporation makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or petitions or applies to any Governmental Authority for, or consents or acquiesces to, the appointment of a custodian, receiver or trustee for all or substantially all of its assets or properties, then any Milestone that has not previously occurred and the related vesting conditions shall be deemed to have occurred.
