Terms

1. Definitions. Terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given to them in this Section 1:

"Acquisition" means (i) any sale, transfer or issuance or series of sales, transfers and/or issuances of capital stock of the Company by the Company or any stockholders thereof (including without limitation, any merger, consolidation or other transaction or series of related transactions having the same effect) which results in any Person or group of Persons (as the term "group" is used under the Securities Exchange Act), other than any Affiliate(s) of AKKR Management Company, LLC and/or Dushyant Sharma (or any of his immediate family members or any trust or other Person for their benefit) (and including any "group" under the Securities Exchange Act (including rule 13D promulgated thereunder) that consists of one or more of the foregoing), owning capital stock of the Company possessing the voting power (under ordinary circumstances) to elect a majority of the Board, or (ii) any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries in any transaction or series of transactions (other than sales in the ordinary course of business) to any Person or group of Persons (as the term "group" is used under the Securities Exchange Act), other than any Affiliate(s) of AKKR Management Company, LLC and/or Dushyant Sharma (or any of his immediate family members or any trust or other Person for their benefit) (and including any "group" under the Securities Exchange Act (including rule 13D promulgated thereunder) that consists of one or more of the foregoing); provided, however, that an "Acquisition" shall not include a Public Offering.

"Affiliate" means with respect to any specified entity, any other entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the specified entity, where the term "control", "controlled", or "controlling" as used in this definition means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of an entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

"Aggregate Vested Percentage" means, as of any date of determination, the sum of all Vesting Percentages that have been determined (or will be determined as of such date) for each Vesting Period that has elapsed as of such date. In no event will the Aggregate Vested Percentage exceed one hundred percent (100%).

"Board" means the board of directors of the Company.

"Common Stock" shall mean the Class A Common Stock of the Company; provided that if such class of stock is split, converted or otherwise bifurcated, "Common Stock" shall mean such other class(es) of stock with the same economic rights as to which such Common Stock was split, converted or otherwise bifurcated (provided that the Common Stock issuable hereunder and a Warrant need not be provided with the same voting rights as any other stockholders (and may be provided with fewer votes per share than other classes of stock, including other classes of Common Stock)).

"Net Revenue" means, without duplication, the portion of the net revenue share actually paid to Paymentus Corporation pursuant to Section 2 of Exhibit E ("Fee, Revenue Share and Accelerated Growth Exhibit") of the SOW.

"Person" means an individual, a partnership, a corporation, a limited liability company, an association, a joint stock company, a trust (including any beneficiary thereof), a joint venture, an unincorporated organization and a governmental entity or any department, agency or political subdivision thereof.

"Post-Acquisition Vested Warrant Shares" means, with respect to any Vesting Period that would have ended after the consummation of an Acquisition, a hypothetical number of Warrant Shares equal to the product of (i) the Vesting Percentage (if any) for each such Vesting Period multiplied by (ii) 513,382.5. By way of example only, if an Acquisition occurred on June 30, 2023 and the Vesting Percentage for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2023 was 25% (and assuming that as of December 31, 2023, the Aggregate Vested Percentage was less than or equal to 75%), the Post-Acquisition Vested Warrant Shares with respect to the twelve-month period ending on December 31, 2023 would be 128,345.625.

"Public Offering" means any underwritten sale of the Company's capital stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-1 or Form S-3 (or a successor form adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission); provided that the following will not be considered a Public Offering: (i) any issuance of capital stock as consideration for a merger or acquisition, or (ii) any issuance of capital stock or rights to acquire capital stock to existing stockholders or to employees of the Company or its subsidiaries on Form S-4 or S-8 (or a successor form adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission) or otherwise.

"Securities Act" means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time.

"Securities Exchange Act" means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time.

"Signing Date Vested Warrant Shares" shall mean a number of Warrant Shares equal to 171,127.5, which represents 25% of the maximum of 684,510 Warrant Shares.

"Vesting Percentage" means, with respect to any applicable Vesting Period, a percentage equal to the difference between (x) the percentage determined by dividing (A) the aggregate amount of Net Revenue recognized by Paymentus Corporation from May 13, 2021 through the end of such Vesting Period (without duplication) in excess of $40,000,000 by (B) $20,000,000 and (y) the Aggregate Vested Percentage as of the end of the prior Vesting Period (which in the case of the determining the Vesting Percentage for the Vesting Period ending December 31, 2022, the Aggregate Vested Percentage shall be deemed zero); provided that the Vesting Percentage shall not be less than zero for any Vesting Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Vesting Percentage for any Vesting Period, if such Vesting Percentage were given effect, would cause the Aggregate Vested Percentage to exceed 100%, the Vesting Percentage for such

2

Vesting Period shall be reduced to such percentage required to cause the Aggregate Vested Percentage, if such reduced Vesting Percentage were given effect, to equal 100%. From and after the Aggregate Vested Percentage equaling 100%, any Vesting Percentage for any subsequent Vesting Period shall automatically be deemed to be 0%. Each Vesting Percentage shall be determined by the Board in good faith. For the avoidance of doubt, the Net Revenue above excludes amounts paid, payable, deemed paid or deemed payable to Holder or its Affiliates pursuant to the revenue sharing provisions of the SOW (e.g., the portion of any revenue received by Paymentus Corporation from a customer under the SOW that is then paid or payable to Holder or its Affiliates). By way of example only, if the Net Revenue for the period ending December 31, 2024 (i.e., the Vesting Period ending on December 31, 2024) was $50,000,000 (and the Net Revenue with respect to any prior Vesting Period was less than or equal to $40,000,000), the Vesting Percentage with respect to such Vesting Period ending on December 31, 2024 would be 50%. By way of further example only, if the Net Revenue with respect to the period ending December 31, 2025 (i.e., the Vesting Period ending on December 31, 2025) was $55,000,000 (and the Net Revenue measured as of December 31, 2024 was $50,000,000), the Vesting Percentage with respect to such Vesting Period ending on December 31, 2025 would be 25%.

"Vesting Period" means each annual period ending on December 31 of each of the following years: 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026.

"Voting Warrant Shares" shall mean Warrant Shares that have voting rights (of the type issuable upon the exercise of any Warrant Shares under any Warrant issued hereunder and in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof) under the certificate of incorporation or any comparable document of the Company.

"Warrant" means a warrant to purchase Warrant Shares issued by the Company pursuant to this Agreement and in the form set forth on Exhibit A.

2. Issuance of Warrants

In the event of an Acquisition if the Aggregate Vested Percentage is less than one hundred percent (100%) as of the consummation of such Acquisition then, at the Company's election, the Company (or its successor or any successor to substantially all of the Company's assets) may (but shall not be required to), in lieu of any applicable obligations hereunder (x) pay the Holder the amount that would have been payable (at the implied value based on the Acquisition) with respect to the Warrant Shares that had not been issued in connection with such Acquisition within 60 days following the end of each Vesting Period with respect to the Post-Acquisition Vested Warrant Shares for such Vesting Period (provided that the Holder continues to fulfill its obligations under the SOW) from time to time following the Acquisition or (y) make a cash payment to the Holder calculated by multiplying (1) the excess of the proceeds payable with respect to each Warrant Share in connection with the consummation of such Acquisition over the Warrant Price by (2) the product of (i) 513,382.5, multiplied by (ii) the excess of one hundred percent (100%) over the Aggregate Vested Percentage as of the consummation of (and after giving effect to) such Acquisition.

(ii) If at any time the Company's Common Stock shall be listed on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to apply to list, and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, any Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of any Warrants.

EXHIBIT A

Form of Warrant

(see attached)

THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER AND ANY SHARES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION THEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 5.2 BELOW, MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER SAID ACT AND LAWS OR, IN THE OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, SUCH OFFER, SALE, PLEDGE OR OTHER TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM SUCH REGISTRATION.

FORM OF WARRANT

Company: Paymentus Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation

Number of Shares: [ ], subject to adjustment as provided in this Warrant

Type/Series of Stock: [], subject to adjustment as provided in this Warrant

Warrant Price: [ ], subject to adjustment as provided in this Warrant

Issue Date: [ ]

Expiration Date: [Seven years following the Issue Date]. See also Sections 1.7 and 5.1.

Background: This Warrant ("Warrant") is issued in connection with that certain Warrant Agreement, dated as of August 29, 2022 (the "Warrant Agreement"), between the Company and Holder (as defined below)

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, JPMC Strategic Investments I Corporation, a Delaware corporation (together with any successor or permitted assignee or transferee of this Warrant or of any shares issued upon exercise hereof, "Holder"), is entitled to purchase up to the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (the "Shares") of the Type/Series of Stock (the "Class") provided for above of Paymentus Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at the Warrant Price provided for above, all as set forth in, as adjusted pursuant to, and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant.

SECTION 1 EXERCISE.

1.1 Exercise. The Shares will be exercisable by Holder at any time.

1.2 Method of Exercise. Holder may, from time to time, during the Exercise Period (as defined below), exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company the original of this Warrant together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix 1 (the "Notice of Exercise") and, unless Holder is exercising this Warrant pursuant to a cashless exercise set forth in Section 1.3, wire transfer of same-day funds (to an account designated by the Company), or other form of payment acceptable to the Company for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.

1.3 Cashless Exercise. On any exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of payment of the aggregate Warrant Price in the manner as specified in Section 1.2 above, but otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Section 1.2, Holder may elect to receive Shares equal to the value of this Warrant, or portion hereof as to which this Warrant is being exercised. Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares as are computed using the following formula:

X = Y(A-B)/A

where:

X = the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder;

Y = the number of Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised (inclusive of the Shares surrendered to the Company in payment of the aggregate Warrant Price);

A = the Fair Market Value (as determined pursuant to Section 1.4 below) of one Share; and

B = the Warrant Price.

1.4 Fair Market Value. If the Common Stock is then traded on a nationally recognized securities exchange (a "Trading Market") and the Class is Common Stock, then the fair market value of a Share shall be the closing price or last sale price of a share of the Common Stock reported for the trading day immediately before the date on which Holder delivers this Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Common Stock is then traded on a Trading Market and the Class is convertible into Common Stock, then the fair market value of a Share shall be the closing price or last sale price of a share of the Common Stock reported for the trading day immediately before the date on which Holder delivers this Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise to the Company multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which a Share is then convertible. If the Common Stock is not traded in a Trading Market, then the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") shall determine the fair market value of a Share in good faith.

1.5 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Within a reasonable time after Holder exercises this Warrant in the manner set forth in Section 1.2 or 1.3 above, the Company shall deliver to Holder a certificate representing the Shares issued to Holder upon such exercise and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, a new warrant of like tenor representing the Shares not so acquired.

1.6 Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form, substance and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender of this Warrant to the Company for cancellation, the Company shall, within a reasonable time, execute and deliver to Holder, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.

1.7 Acquisition Transactions. Upon the consummation of an Acquisition and absent the Holder's election to exercise this Warrant pursuant to Section 1.2 or 1.3, the Company may terminate this Warrant for a payment (in the form of consideration received by the holders of the Company's Common Stock in such Acquisition and such payment shall be paid substantially as and when the holders of the Company's Common Stock receive consideration payable to them in respect of their Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition) per share of Common Stock issuable hereunder at the time of the closing of the Acquisition equal to the excess of the price per share of Common Stock paid to the holders of the Company's Common Stock at the closing of the Acquisition over the Warrant Price. In order to receive any such payment pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Holder shall, at the request of the Company, execute any documents that all holders of Common Stock are required to execute in connection with such Acquisition or as required by the Warrant Agreement. In the event of an Acquisition where the fair market value of one Share as determined in accordance with Section 1.4 above would be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such Acquisition, then this Warrant will expire immediately prior to the consummation of such Acquisition.

2

SECTION 2 ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES AND WARRANT PRICE.

2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If, on or after the Issue Date, the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of the Class payable in common stock or other securities or property (other than cash), then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without additional cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities and property which Holder would have received had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or distribution occurred. If, on or after the Issue Date, the Company subdivides the outstanding shares of the Class by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased. If, on or after the Issue Date, the outstanding shares of the Class are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased.

2.2 Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any event whereby all of the outstanding shares of the Class are reclassified, exchanged, combined, substituted, or replaced for, into, with or by Company securities of a different class and/or series, then from and after the consummation of such event, this Warrant will be exercisable for the number, class and series of Company securities that Holder would have received had the Shares been outstanding on and as of the consummation of such event, and subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations, substitutions, replacements or other similar events.

2.3 No Fractional Share. No fractional Share shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional Share interest arises upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional Share interest by paying Holder in cash the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by (i) the fair market value (as determined in accordance with Section 1.4 above) of a full Share, less (ii) the then-effective Warrant Price.

2.4 Notice/Certificate as to Determinations and Adjustments. Upon each determination or adjustment of the Warrant Price, Class and/or number of Shares, the Company, at the Company's expense, shall notify Holder in writing within seven (7) business days setting forth the determinations or adjustments to the Warrant Price, Class and/or number of Shares and facts upon which such determination or adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request from Holder, furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer, including computations of such determination or adjustment and the Warrant Price, Class and number of Shares in effect upon the date of such determination or adjustment.

2.5 Cap on Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant, this Warrant may not be exercised, in whole or in part, to the extent that such exercise would result in the Holder receiving Voting Warrant Shares in an amount that, when combined with any other shares of the Company held by the Holder, would provide the Holder with the right to cast the vote of five percent (5%) or more of any class of the shares (calculated in accordance with the U.S. Bank Holding Company Act and its implementing regulations and rules), or votes arising out of such shares, entitled to vote on any given matter on which shares may vote (the “Cap”). At any time this Warrant is exercised, any remaining Voting Warrant Shares that would be subject to the Cap shall be void. This Warrant shall be exercisable only in the hands of Holder or its Affiliates as defined in 12 U.S. Code § 1841 and except to an Affiliate of Holder shall otherwise be non-transferrable.

SECTION 3 REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

3.1 Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Holder as follows:

(a) All Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, and all securities, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Shares, shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free of any liens and encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable federal and state securities laws. The Company covenants that it shall at all times cause to be reserved and kept available out of its authorized and unissued capital stock such number of shares of the Class, Common Stock and other securities as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant and the conversion of the Shares into Common Stock or such other securities.

(b) All corporate action required to be taken by the Board and stockholders in order to authorize the Company to enter into this Warrant, and to issue this Warrant and Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, has been taken or will be taken prior to the Issue Date. All action on the part of the officers of the Company necessary for the execution and delivery of this Warrant and the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder has been taken. This Warrant constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.

(c) Assuming the accuracy of the Holder's representations and warranties in Section 4, the execution, delivery and performance of this Warrant will not result in any violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, (i) a default under any law applicable to the Company or any instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree, contract or agreement to which the Company is a party or by which its assets are bound except such defaults as would not reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Company; or (ii) an event which results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit or license applicable to the Company.

3.2 Notice of Certain Events. If the Company proposes at any time to effect an Acquisition then, in connection with each such event, the Company shall give Holder at least ten (10) business days prior written notice of the date when the same will take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of outstanding shares of the Class will be entitled to exchange their shares for the securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event and such reasonable information as Holder may reasonably require regarding the treatment of this Warrant in connection with such event giving rise to the notice). The Company will also provide information requested by Holder that is reasonably necessary to enable Holder to comply with Holder's accounting or reporting requirements.

SECTION 4 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE HOLDER.

The Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

4.1 Purchase for Own Account. This Warrant and the securities to be acquired upon exercise of this Warrant and any securities to be acquired upon conversion thereof by Holder are being acquired for investment for Holder's account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution within the meaning of the Securities Act. Holder also represents that it has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring this Warrant or the Shares.

4

4.2 Disclosure of Information. Holder is aware of the Company's business affairs and financial condition and has received or has had access to all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of this Warrant and its underlying securities. Holder further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of this Warrant and its underlying securities and to obtain additional information (to the extent the Company possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify any information furnished to Holder or to which Holder has access.

4.3 Investment Experience. Holder understands that the purchase of this Warrant and its underlying securities involves substantial risk. Holder has experience as an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that Holder can bear the economic risk of such Holder's investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities and/or has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company and certain of its officers, directors or controlling persons of a nature and duration that enables Holder to be aware of the character, business acumen and financial circumstances of such persons.

4.4 Accredited Investor Status. Holder is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

4.5 The Securities Act. Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise hereof and any securities exercisable upon conversion thereof have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Holder's investment intent as expressed herein. Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issued upon any exercise hereof and any securities exercisable upon conversion thereof must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and qualified under applicable state securities laws, or unless exemption from such registration and qualification are otherwise available.

4.6 No Stockholder Rights. Without limiting any term or provision of this Warrant, Holder agrees that, as a Holder of this Warrant, it will not have any rights as a stockholder in respect of the Shares issuable on exercise hereof until the exercise of this Warrant.

SECTION 5 MISCELLANEOUS.
