THIS STOCK EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of April 12, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Motive Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (“Holder”).
WHEREAS, Holder currently owns (i) 53,280,483 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company (the “Class A Common Stock,” and such shares, the “Initial Shares”), and (ii) options exercisable for up to an aggregate of 16,221,640 shares of Class A Common Stock (such shares of Class A Common Stock that are actually issued, if at all, upon exercise of such options, the “Option Exercise Shares”), in each case as may be adjusted pursuant to any stock split, reverse stock split, reclassification or other change in the capital structure of the Company, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in its discretion;
WHEREAS, Holder may from time to time in the future acquire options, restricted stock units and/or other similar equity awards exercisable or redeemable for shares of Class A Common Stock (such shares of Class A Common Stock, collectively with the Option Exercise Shares, the “Future Shares”);
WHEREAS, Holder desires to exchange all Initial Shares for 53,280,483 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company (the “Class B Common Stock”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (such transaction, the “Initial Exchange,” and the shares of Class B Common Stock issued in the Initial Exchange, the “Initial Exchange Shares”); and
WHEREAS, Holder and the Company have agreed that, upon the issuance by the Company of any Future Shares to Holder, Holder may, at any time following such issuance, exchange all or any portion of such Future Shares for an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock, not to exceed the number of shares of Class B Common Stock from time to time authorized for issuance under the certificate of incorporation of the Company, in each case on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (each such transaction, a “Future Exchange,” and the shares of Class B Common Stock issued in any Future Exchange, the “Future Exchange Shares”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and of the mutual promises, covenants and conditions hereinafter contained, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned parties agree as follows:
1. INITIAL EXCHANGE AND ASSIGNMENT; INITIAL CLOSING.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, effective upon the later of (a) execution of this Agreement on the Effective Date and (b) if applicable, the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the “HSR Act”) with respect to the issuance of the Initial Exchange Shares (such later date, the “Initial
Closing”), ▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereby exchanges and assigns to the Company all of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s right, title and interest in and to the Initial Shares in exchange for the Company’s issuance to Holder of the Initial Exchange Shares. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and agrees that, upon and following the Initial Exchange, he will have no further right or interest in the Initial Shares.
1.2 Mechanics of Exchange. At the Initial Closing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will deliver to the Company an executed Stock Assignment Separate from Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, duly endorsing the Initial Shares held by Holder for transfer to the Company and as soon as reasonably practicable after the Initial Closing, the Company shall issue a certificate evidencing the Initial Exchange Shares to Holder as contemplated by this Section 1.
2. FUTURE EXCHANGE AND ASSIGNMENT; FUTURE CLOSINGS.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, upon the receipt by the Company of an Exchange Election Notice or upon an Automatic Election (each, a “Future Closing”), Holder shall exchange and assign to the Company all of Holder’s right, title and interest in and to the Future Shares covered by such Exchange Election Notice or Automatic Election in exchange for the Company’s issuance to Holder of an equal number of Future Exchange Shares, provided, however, that any Future Closing shall be deferred until the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act with respect to the issuance of Future Exchange Shares. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and agrees that, following any Future Exchange, he will have no further right or interest in the Future Shares subject to such Future Exchange.
2.2 Mechanics of Exchange. At each Future Closing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will deliver to the Company an executed Stock Assignment Separate from Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, duly endorsing the applicable Future Shares held by Holder for transfer to the Company and as soon as reasonably practicable after such Future Closing, the Company shall issue a certificate evidencing the applicable Future Exchange Shares to Holder as contemplated by this Section 2.
