Article 1 - E8 Fees

The Parties hereby agree that E8 will receive special fees in the event of the development of the Allego Group (hereinafter the “Fees”), under the following conditions.

The Fees are composed of two cumulative, distinct parts referred to as Part A and Part B, the amounts indicated below being in any case amounts excluding taxes.

Article 2 - Part A of the Fees

2.1 Part A of the Fees is related to the completion of a Liquidity Event in which (i) any entity of the Allego Group, and/or (ii) Meridiam, and/or (iii) any Meridiam Affiliate and/or (iv) any other holder of Securities of any entity of the Allego Group, would receive Products from Third Parties.

By way of exception, the first Liquidity Event carried out as of the signing of this Agreement must concern at least 10% of the share capital of the Allego Group entity concerned by the Liquidity Event, before the completion of the latter, to give entitlement to Part A Fees. Subsequent Liquidity Events will not be subject to any threshold of the proportion of Securities to give rise to the right to the Fees Part A.

2.2 The amount of Part A Fees due to E8 in respect of the completion of a Liquidity Event will be determined by applying the Part A Fee rate (as specified below) to the amount of the Proceeds of such Liquidity Event.

The rate of Part A Fees to which E8 will be entitled once it has contributed to the Liquidity Event will be determined by applying the following formulas, for which:

VI (or initial value of the Allego Group) = €240 million.

However, it is specified that this value of €240 million will be adjusted, if necessary, at the time of a Liquidity Event concerned, in order to add the net amounts contributed by Meridiam, one of Meridiam’s Affiliates, or another holder of Securities of an entity of the Allego Group, to an entity of the Allego Group, for the purposes of its activities, from the date hereof and until the date of the occurrence of a Liquidity Event in question (and excluding the occurrence thereof) by means of (i) the subscription to a capital increase (by way of a contribution in cash or in kind), or to transferable securities of any kind or (ii) a shareholders’ loan.

VT (Allego Group Acquired Value) = value of all the entities making up the Allego Group at the end of the Allego Group Liquidity Event in question (post-money), it being specified that in the event that the Liquidity Event in question concerns an entity of the Allego Group other than an Allego Holding Company, the value of the entities of the Allego Group will be determined by applying the same method as that applied to the entity of the Allego Group concerned, on the occasion of the Liquidity Event

Considered.

•

If VT < 1.2 x VI then the rate of the Fees Part A is zero, If 1.2 x VI <= VT < 1.8 x VI then the rate of the Fees Part A is equal to (10% x (VT - 1.2 x VI)) / VT,

•

If 1.8 x VI <= VT < 2.5 x VI then the rate of the Part A Fees is equal to (6% x V1 + 15% x (VT - 1.8 x VI)) / VT, If 2.5 x VI <= VT

•

then the rate of the Part A Fees is equal to (16.5% x VI + 20% x (VT - 2.5 x VI)) / VT

2.3 In the event that a first Liquidity Event is followed by one or more other Liquidity Events, the calculation of the Part A Fee rate will also apply to each of these events, according to the following formulas, for the application of which:

VT, = value of the variable VT at the time of the n-th Liquidity Event.

•

if VT, <= VTn-1, VTI being the acquired value of the Allego Group in the most recent Liquidity Event preceding the n-th Liquidity Event, then the Rate of the Part A Fees on the occasion of the n-th Liquidity Event is zero

•

if VT” > VTn-1, VTn-I being the acquired value of the Allego Group in the most recent Liquidity Event preceding the n-th Liquidity Event, then the Rate of the Part A Fees on the occasion of the n-th Liquidity Event is equal to the Rate of the Part A Fees calculated by application of the previous formulas, with the value VT,

2.4 In all cases, the amount of the Part A Fees will be paid to E8 no later than fifteen days after the completion of the Liquidity Event by Madeleine.

It is specified that in the event that a Liquidity Event in question corresponds to a transaction referred to in point (iv) of the definition of the Liquidity Event, the realization of the Liquidity Event means the time of the completion of the initial transaction and not those of subsequent transactions.

As an illustration of the mechanism, a digital application is presented below.

•

Let’s assume a first liquidity event.

A capital increase of €200 million was carried out through the issuance of 28.57% of new securities, which corresponds to a pre-money value of €500 million and a post-money value (VT) of €700 million.

The application of the formula for calculating the rate of Part A Fees gives a rate of 8.51% that is applied to the Products (€200 million), i.e.: €17.03 million, which is the value of the Part A Fees.

The fees paid represent 2.43 % (=17.03 / 700) of the VT vested value.

Next, suppose a second Liquidity Event.

A capital increase of €250 million is carried out through the issuance of 20% of new securities as part of an admission to market, which corresponds to a pre-money value of €1,000 million and a post-money value (VT) of €1,250 million.

The application of the formula for calculating the rate of Part A Fees gives a rate of 13.57% that is applied to the Products (€250 million), i.e.: €33.92 million, which is the value of the Part A Fees.

The sum of the Fees paid in respect of the realization of these two Liquidity Events, €50.95 million (= 17.03 + 33.92), represents 4.07% (= 47.72 / 1250) of the acquired value VT.

Article 3 - Part B of the Fees

3.1 Part B of the Fees is related to the increase in value of the Allego Group recorded at the occasion of a Liquidity Event.

By way of exception, the first Liquidity Event carried out as of the signing of this Agreement must concern at least 10% of the share capital of the Allego Group entity concerned by the Liquidity Event, before the latter is completed. The following Liquidity Events will not be subject to any threshold for the proportion of Securities.

3.2 On the occasion of a Liquidity Event, E8 will have the opportunity to subscribe for new Securities issued by Allego or any Allego Holding Company (at Meridiam’s option), for a value corresponding to the nominal value of these Securities, in order to allow E8 to participate in the Liquidity Event concerned.

To this end, Madeleine will pay E8 in advance, in respect of the payment of the Part B Fees, an amount corresponding to the nominal value of the Shares of Allego or any Allego Holding Company to be subscribed to by E8 in accordance with Article 3.3 below, plus any tax costs incurred by E8 in respect of the Part B Fees (the amount of Part A of the Fees referred to in Article 2 above remains unchanged).

Subject to the provisions of Article 3.4, E8 irrevocably undertakes, on the occasion of any Liquidity Event giving rise to the payment of the Part B Fees, to use the entire amount (after deduction of any tax costs incurred by E8 in respect of the Part B Fees) to subscribe for new Securities issued by Allego or any Allego Holding Company.

3.3 The number of N Shares of Allego or any Allego Holding that may be subscribed for by E8 in connection with a Liquidity Event will be determined as follows.

VT and VI have the same meaning as in Article 2.

•

If VT < 1.2 x VI then the number of N Shares that can be subscribed by E8 is zero If 1.2 x VI <= VT <= €1,000 million then the number of N Shares of Allego or the Allego Holding Holding in question that can be subscribed by E8, as the case may be, is such that the ratio between N and the total number of Shares making up the capital of Allego or the Allego Holding in question (at the end of the of the Liquidity Event) is equal to 2.5% x (VT - 1000) / (1000 - 1.2 x VI) + 5%.

•

If €1,000 million < VT <= €1,500 million, then the number of N Shares of Allego or the Allego Holding Company in question that can be subscribed by E8, as the case may be, is such that the ratio between N and the total number of Shares making up the share capital of Allego or the Allego Holding Company in question (at the end of the Liquidity Event) is equal to 3.5% x VT / 500 - 2%.

•

If €1,500 million < VT <= €2,000 million, then the number of N Shares of Allego or the Allego Holding Company in question that can be subscribed by E8, as the case may be, is such that the ratio between N and the total number of Shares making up the share capital of Allego or the Allego Holding Company in question (at the end of the Liquidity Event) is equal to 1.5% x VT / 500 + 4%.

•

If €2,000 million < VT then the number of N Shares of Allego or the Allego Holding in question that can be subscribed by E8, as the case may be, is such that the ratio between N and the total number of Shares making up the capital of Allego or the Allego Holding in question (at the end of the Liquidity Event) is equal to 10%.

For example, applying the formulas, if VT = €1,000 million on the occasion of a Liquidity Event, then the Part B Fees will consist of the subscription by E8 of Securities corresponding to 5% of the Shares of Allego or the Allego Holding in question, as the case may be.

3.4 In the event that the Liquidity Event in question corresponds to an Exit (as this term is defined in Article 6), it is expressly agreed between the Parties that E8 shall, at Meridiam’s request, prior to the completion of such Exit, subscribe or have subscribed to a number of Shares of Allego or of the Allego Holding Company in question (the “Minimum Number of Shares”) at least equal to (i) the maximum number of N Shares of Allego or Allego Allego Holding considered to be subscribed for by E8 pursuant to Article 3.3 above, (ii) multiplied by the ratio (expressed as a percentage) between (a) the number of Shares of Allego or Allego Holding considered to be sold by Meridiam or Holding Allego (transferor) at the time of the Exit, and (b) the number of Shares of Allego or Allego Holding considered held by Meridiam or Allego Holding (transferor) prior to such Exit.

E8 shall remain free to subscribe (or not to subscribe) to the Securities of Allego or the Allego Holding in question corresponding to the difference between (i) the number of N Shares of Allego or the Allego Holding in question that may be subscribed by E8 pursuant to Article 3.3 above and (ii) the Minimum Number of Shares, it being understood, that in any event, in the event that E8 decides to subscribe to these Securities, said subscription must take place no later than the date of completion of the Exit.

3.5 In addition, in the event that it is envisaged, in the context of a Liquidity Event giving rise to the payment of Part B Fees, to modify the nominal value of the Securities of the entity in which E8 is to subscribe for Securities on the occasion of such Liquidity Event (i.e. at the option of Meridiam, Allego or any Allego Holding Company), E8 will be permitted to subscribe for the number of N Shares of Allego or the relevant Allego Holding Company (as determined in accordance with Article 3.3 above), (i) before such change in nominal value occurs, and in any event, (ii) for a subscription price corresponding to the nominal value of the relevant Allego or Allego Holding Securities prior to such change in nominal value.

Section 4 - Withdrawal

E8 undertakes to retain all Securities of Allego or any Allego Holding Company that it holds and not to transfer any such Securities until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Advisory Agreement ceases, (ii) the date of an Exiting (as that term is defined in Article 6) and (iii) the date of the tenth anniversary of the signing of the Servicing Agreement. except with the prior written consent of Meridiam.

E8 will undertake to enter into or adhere to any agreement that may be entered into and will then make any commitment to lock-up (provided that E8 holds any shares of the admitted entity) in part or in full, customary and reasonable, of the said Securities, it being specified that a proportion of these Securities may be subject to a free transfer if Meridiam sells part of its securities at the time of admission to the regulated or organised market. The minimum portion that may be freely transferred by E8 will be at least equal to the portion resulting from the joint assignment tax (such as provided for in Article 6(2) related to this transfer by Meridiam on the occasion of admission to the regulated or organised market.

Article 5 - Right of First Offer

5.1 Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 4 above, in the event that E8 contemplates any transfer of Shares of Allego or any Allego Holding, E8 shall allow Meridiam to exercise a right of first offer in respect of the Securities to be transferred (the “Right of First Offer”), under the conditions described in this Article 5.

the Parties also agree that the Part A Incentive will apply in the event that an increase in the VT value (Accrued Value of the Allego Group) is recognized through transactions other than those explicitly referred to in this Agreement (i.e. those resulting from the letter of the definitions given to a Liquidity Event and/or to the Products), in such a case, the amount due to E8 in respect of the Incentive will be calculated by reference to the principles governing the transactions expressly referred to in this Agreement, which will apply mutatis mutandis.

10.2 Each Party undertakes to regularize any act or document necessary for the purpose of implementing the operations provided for in the Contract and to communicate to each other all the information necessary for this purpose.

10.3 The Parties agree that in the event of disagreement regarding the application of the formulas referred to in Articles 2 and 3 above, or the determination of any market value or consideration of the Securities referred to in this Agreement, they shall appoint by mutual agreement an independent expert whose mission shall be strictly limited to the determination of such market value of the Securities referred to in this Agreement or the result of the application of the formula as the case may be (the “ expert”). In the absence of agreement on the designation

The said Expert within 15 days of the date on which one of the Parties has indicated to the other its wish that an Expert be appointed, the latter will be appointed by the President of the Commercial Court of Paris, referred to by the most diligent party in accordance with the provisions of Article 1592 of the Civil Code.

The Expert’s decision will not be subject to appeal, except in the case of a manifest or gross error on his part or a violation of the law and regulations in force.

Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the costs of the expert report shall be borne equally by the Parties.

The Expert shall notify his conclusions in writing to the Parties as soon as possible and, as far as possible, within thirty days of his appointment.

Article 11 - Notifications

Any notices or communications under this Agreement shall be effective only if they are made in writing and sent by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt (or any equivalent in respect of international mail), or by facsimile (the fax shall be confirmed on the same day by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt) to the address and attention of the Party concerned.

Such notifications shall be deemed to be received, in the case of faxes, on the working day following the day of dispatch, in the case of registered letters with acknowledgement of receipt, on the third working day following the day of dispatch and in the case of notices delivered by hand, on the day of delivery.

In the event of a change of address or addressee, the Party concerned shall notify the other Parties in the manner set out above.

The deadlines stipulated in the Liquidity Promise of Sale are counted according to the rules set out in Articles 640 to 642 of the Code of Civil Procedure. All deadlines stipulated in this Liquidity Promise of Sale are presumed to be strict deadlines that are deemed to have been fulfilled as soon as they expire without the need to give formal notice to the debtor of the obligation.

Article 12 - Remedies

It is recalled that any non-performance of an obligation stipulated under the Liquidity Promise of Sale will give rise to the application of the provisions of Articles 1217 et seq. of the Civil Code. Meridiam (or any Affiliate or Third Party that Meridiam has replaced) may, in this context, request the forced execution of the Liquidity Promise to Sell in order to obtain the completion of the transfers that are the subject of this Liquidity Promise to Sell under the conditions set out herein, without prejudice to the damages they may claim.

Article 13 - Waiver of Article 1195 of the Civil Code

Without prejudice to the other provisions of Article 6 hereof, each of the Parties agrees that the application of the provisions of Article 1195 of the Civil Code to its obligations under the Contract is excluded and acknowledges that it will not be authorized to rely on the provisions of Article 1195 of the Code civilian.

Article 14 - Successors and assigns

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors, assigns and assigns.

Article 15 - Applicable law and disputes

The Agreement is governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, French law.

In the event of a dispute over the interpretation or performance of the Contract, the Parties will endeavour to resolve their dispute amicably, within a period that may not exceed one month.

At the end of this period, this dispute will be exclusively subject to the jurisdiction of the Courts within the jurisdiction of the Paris Court of Appeal.

“Article 8 - Allowance E8

Upon the occurrence of a SPAC Redemption Event giving rise to the payment in kind of the Part A Fees (via delivery of Part A Fee Shares), Madeleine shall, upon the transfer by E8 of all or part of its Pubco common shares received in exchange for the Part A Fee Shares (the “E8 Shares Sold”), indemnify E8 against any difference (if positive) between (a) the Initial Price of the E8 Shares Sold and (b) the price per Share E8 Sold on the date of completion of the transfer in question (the “Indemnity”), it being specified that:

(i)

the payment of the Indemnity will be subject to the full payment of any amount due in respect of any external debt entered into between Madeleine and any financial institution for the financing of the subscription of the Pubco common shares in connection with the PIPE Investment (the “External Debt”) and, accordingly, the Indemnity will only be payable to the extent that Madeleine has sufficient funds to repay in full any amount due in respect of the External Indebtedness; and

(ii)

unless Madeleine already owns less than 50% and one Pubco share before an Indemnity is due to E8, Madeline will not be required, for the purposes of payment to pay the Indemnity to E8, to transfer a number of Pubco common shares resulting in Madeleine owning less than 50% and one share of the capital of Pubco.

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) and (ii) above will not relieve Madeleine of her obligation to pay the indemnity to E8. Thus, as soon as the payment of the Indemnity makes it possible to meet the conditions set out in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of this Article 8, Madeleine will be required to pay the Indemnity to E8 without delay. »

In the same way, any act which, after the end of the Contract, would be contrary to the exercise of said rights, will be unenforceable against E8 or Meridiam, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. »
