In order to induce the Company and Acquiror to enter into the Merger Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Sponsor hereby agrees with the Acquiror and, at all times prior to any valid termination of the Merger Agreement, the Company as follows:

1.Until the valid termination of the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor, in its capacity as a stockholder of Acquiror, irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, at the Special Meeting, at any other meeting of the stockholders of Acquiror (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting, however called and including any adjournment or postponement thereof) and in connection with any written consent of stockholders of Acquiror (the date of the taking of any such action being an applicable “Determination Date”), the Sponsor shall, and shall cause any other holder of record of any of the Covered Shares to:

 

(a)when such meeting is held, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause the Covered Shares to be counted as present thereat for the purpose of establishing a quorum;

 

(b)vote (or execute and return an action by written consent), or cause to be voted at such meeting (or validly execute and return and cause such consent to be granted with respect to), all of the Covered Shares owned as of the record date for such meeting (or the date that any written consent is executed by the Sponsor or other record holder of the Covered Shares) in favor of each Voting Matter and any other matters necessary or reasonably requested by the Acquiror for consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and

 

(c)vote (or execute and return an action by written consent), or cause to be voted at such meeting, or validly execute and return and cause such consent to be granted with respect to, all of the Covered Shares against any Business Combination (other than involving the Company) (an “Alternative Business Combination”) and any other action that would reasonably be expected to materially impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of Acquiror under the Merger Agreement or result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of the Sponsor contained in this Sponsor Agreement.

 

The obligations of the Sponsor specified in this paragraph 1 shall apply whether or not the Merger or any action described above is recommended by the Acquiror Board.

2.Prior to the Termination Date, the Sponsor shall not, and shall not authorize or permit its Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, initiate, encourage, facilitate any inquiry, proposal or offer which constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Alternative Business Combination; (b) enter into discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information or access to information to, any Person relating to any proposal, offer, inquiry or request for information that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to result in or lead to, a possible Alternative Business Combination; (c) approve, endorse or recommend, or propose publicly to approve, endorse or recommend, any Alternative Business Combination; (d) execute or enter into any agreement or other document or instrument (whether or not binding) regarding an Alternative Business Combination; (e) make, or in any manner participate in a “solicitation” (as such term is used in the rules of the SEC) of proxies or powers of attorney or similar rights to vote, or seek to advise or influence any Person with respect to the voting of Common Stock or Founder Shares intending to facilitate any Alternative Business Combination or cause any holder of shares of Common Stock or Founder Shares not to vote to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated thereby, (f) become a member of a “group” (as such term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) with respect to any voting securities of Acquiror that takes any action in support of an Alternative Business Combination or (g) resolve or agree to do any of the foregoing. The Sponsor shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day after receipt by the Sponsor) advise the Company orally and in writing of any Alternative Business Combination proposal received by the applicable party, or any inquiry with respect to or which could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in any Alternative Business Combination, the material terms and conditions of such any Alternative Business Combination proposal or inquiry, and the identity of the Person making the same. The Sponsor agrees that, following the date hereof, it and its Representatives shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated, and shall cause its Affiliates and all of its and their representatives to immediately cease and cause to be terminated, all existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to an Alternative Business Combination.

In furtherance of this Sponsor Agreement, the Sponsor hereby authorizes and will instruct Acquiror, promptly after the date hereof, to enter, or cause its transfer agent to enter, a stop transfer order with respect to all of the Covered Shares with respect to any Transfer not permitted hereunder and to include the following legend on any share certificates for the Covered Shares: “THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN VOTING AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS PURSUANT TO THAT CERTAIN SPONSOR AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF DECEMBER 14, 2020, BY AND AMONG EXPERIENCE INVESTMENT CORP., A DELAWARE CORPORATION, BLADE URBAN AIR MOBILITY, INC., A DELAWARE CORPORATION AND EXPERIENCE SPONSOR LLC. ANY TRANSFER OF SUCH SHARES OF STOCK IN VIOLATION OF THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF SUCH SPONSOR AGREEMENT SHALL BE NULL AND VOID AND HAVE NO FORCE OR EFFECT WHATSOEVER.” The delivery of such securities by the delivering party shall not in any way affect such party’s rights with respect to such securities.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything herein to the contrary, under no circumstances shall the Acquiror or the Sponsor be liable for any costs or damages including, without limitation, any special, incidental, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, to any Person, including the Company, in respect of this Sponsor Agreement, including any breach hereof, and the Company hereby waives any claim it may have now or in the future for monetary costs or damages against the Acquiror or the Sponsor in respect of this Sponsor Agreement, including any breach hereof.

 

4.(a) Subject to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Sponsor agrees that it shall not Transfer any Founder Shares (or shares of Acquiror’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), issuable upon conversion thereof) or any Private Placement Warrants (or shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise thereof) until the earlier of (i) 180 days after the completion of the Acquiror’s initial Business Combination or (ii) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Acquiror’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property (the “Lock-up Period”).

 

(b)  Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraph 4(a), Transfers of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Private Placement Warrants or the Founder Shares that are held by the Sponsor or any of their permitted transferees (that have complied with this paragraph 4(b)), are permitted (i) to the Acquiror’s officers or directors, any affiliates or family members of any of the Acquiror’s officers or directors, any members of the Sponsor, any of its affiliates, or any of its or their respective officers, employees, directors or direct and indirect equityholders; (ii) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate family, to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family or an affiliate of such person, or to a charitable organization; (iii) in the case of an individual, transfers by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (iv) in the case of an individual, transfers pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (v) transfers by private sales or transfers made in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the securities were originally purchased; (vi) transfers by virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware or the Sponsor’s limited liability company agreement upon dissolution of the Sponsor; and (vii) in the event of the Acquiror’s completion of a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction which results in all of the Acquiror’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the completion of the Acquiror’s initial Business Combination (including the entry into an agreement in connection with such liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction)); provided, however, that in the case of clauses (i) through (vii), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by the restrictions herein.

5.The Sponsor represents and warrants that it has never 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.

 

6.(a)  Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, neither the Sponsor nor any Affiliate of the Sponsor, nor any director or officer of the Acquiror, shall receive from the Acquiror any finder’s fee, reimbursement, consulting fee, monies 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 the Acquiror’s initial Business Combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is, but including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Merger), other than the following, none of which will be made from the proceeds held in the Trust Account prior to the completion of the initial Business Combination: repayment of a loan and advances of up to an aggregate of $300,000 made to the Acquiror by the Sponsor; reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an initial Business Combination, and repayment of loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined by the Acquiror from time to time, made by the Sponsor or any of the Acquiror’s officers or directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, provided, that, if the Acquiror does not consummate an initial Business Combination, a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account may be used by the Acquiror to repay such loaned amounts so long as no proceeds from the Trust Account are used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period.
