May 8, 2024
This Waiver and Amendment to Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement (this “Amendment”), dated as of the date first set forth above, is entered into by and among Humacyte Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Humacyte, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent” and, together with the Company, the “Obligors” and each, an “Obligor”), the Persons listed on the signature pages hereof under the heading “PURCHASERS” (each a “Purchaser” and, collectively, the “Purchasers”), and Hook SA LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Purchaser Agent”).
Reference is hereby made to (i) the Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 12, 2023 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Obligors, the Purchasers from time to time party thereto and the Purchaser Agent, (ii) the Security and Pledge Agreement, dated as of May 12, 2023 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Security Agreement”), by and among the Company, Parent, the other grantors from time to time party thereto and the Purchaser Agent, and (iii) the Waiver (the “February Waiver”), dated as of February 18, 2024, by and among the Obligors, the Purchasers party thereto and Purchaser Agent. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Obligors, Purchasers and Purchaser Agent are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
WHEREAS, the Obligors acknowledge that Section 4.1 of the February Waiver has not been satisfied and that Put Option Events have occurred and are continuing under (a) clause (e)(i) of the definition of “Put Option Event” in the Purchase Agreement for failure to comply with the requirements of Section 5.06(e) of the Purchase Agreement and Section 4(p) of the Security Agreement in connection with establishing the deposit account with account no. 3997831533 (the “Specified Account”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), (b) clause (e)(ii) of the definition of “Put Option Event” due to the Obligors’ failure to timely deliver notice pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(i) of the Purchase Agreement of the occurrence of the foregoing Put Option Events, (c) clause (e)(i) of the definition of “Put Option Event” in the Purchase Agreement for failure to (i) satisfy the post-closing requirement set forth in Section 2.03(c)(v) of the Purchase Agreement within the timeframe specified therein and (d) clause (e)(ii) of the definition of “Put Option Event” due to the Obligors’ failure to timely deliver notice pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(i) of the Purchase Agreement of the occurrence of the Put Option Event described in the immediately preceding clause (collectively, the Put Option Events described in clauses (a) through (d), the “Specified Put Option Events”); the Specified Put Option Events are more fully described in the letter delivered by Purchasers to the Company on November 28, 2023;
WHEREAS, the Company desires to retain the Specified Account for the sole purpose of securing obligations under certain credit cards provided to the Company by Bank and the Company has informed the Purchaser Agent and the Purchasers that Bank will not agree to provide a Control Agreement with respect to the Specified Account;
WHEREAS, the Obligors have requested that Purchaser Agent and the Purchasers (i) waive the $100,000 individual, and the $250,000 aggregate, balance limitations under clause (c) of the definition of “Excluded Account” (the “Account Balance Limits”) with respect to the Specified Account, in order to permit the Company to maintain the Specified Account as an Excluded Account in reliance on clause (c) of the definition thereof, (ii) waive the Specified Put Option Events, and (iii) waive the post-closing requirement set forth in Section 2.03(c)(v) of the Purchase Agreement, and, without waiving or altering any other previously agreed conditions, requirements, or representations made in any prior agreement between the Parties, the Purchasers have agreed to grant such waivers on the terms set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties intending to be legally bound do hereby agree as follows:
1. Waiver. Subject to Sections 3 and 4 of this Amendment, the Purchasers and the Purchaser Agent hereby waive (i) the Specified Put Option Events, (ii) solely with respect to the Specified Account, the Account Balance Limits so long as the Specified Account does not retain a balance in excess of $200,000 at any time after the effective date of this Amendment, and (iii) the post-closing requirement set forth in Section 2.03(c)(v) of the Purchase Agreement.
2. Amendment. Subject to Section 3 of this Amendment:
2.1 Section 1.01 of the Purchase Agreement is amended by adding the following new defined terms in appropriate alphabetical order:
“Designated Deposit Account” is the Company’s deposit account designated by the Company as such by written notice to Purchaser Agent in accordance with Section 5.06(e); provided that the Designated Deposit Account shall be (a) located in the United States, (b) held with a financial institution that meets the requirements set forth in clause (iii) of the definition of “Cash Equivalents”, and (c) at all times subject to a Control Agreement and an ACH authorization in favor of Purchaser Agent.
“First Amendment Effective Date” means May 8, 2024.
“Specified Transfer” means a transfer of cash from the Designated Deposit Account to another of the Obligors’ bank accounts, which transfer meets the following requirements: (a) Purchaser Agent shall have received at least 10 days’ advance notice of such Specified Transfer (including the amount thereof), which such notice may only be given after the thirtieth (30th) day following the First Amendment Effective Date; (b) immediately prior to the notice of such transfer in accordance with the preceding clause (a) and at all times thereafter until the date of such Specified Transfer, and immediately after such Specified Transfer, no Put Option Event shall have occurred and be continuing; and (c) the amount of such Specified Transfer does not exceed $2,000,000.
2.2 S ection 5.02(a)(i) of the Purchase Agreement is amended by deleting the following language within such Section:

2.3 Section 5.02(a)(i) of the Purchase Agreement is further amended by deleting the following language at the end of such Section:
, together with projections, which have also been delivered to Parent’s independent certified public accountants, demonstrating the sufficiency of cash and Cash Equivalents for the 12 month period following the issuance date of such financial statements.
2.4 Section 5.06(e) of the Purchase Agreement is amended by adding the following language to the end of such Section:

The Obligors shall (i) transfer $54,000,000 in unrestricted cash to the Designated Deposit Account on or prior to August 17, 2024 and (ii) from and after such transfer, refrain from making any transfers out of the Designated Deposit Account other than Specified Transfers. Promptly upon request (and in any case within three (3) Business Days of request) by Purchaser Agent from time to time, the Obligors shall provide Purchaser Agent with account balance reports for the Designated Deposit Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and whether or not a Put Option Event has occurred and/or is continuing, at any time that (x) the balance of the Designated Deposit Account does not exceed $50,000,000 or (y) a notice is given of a Specified Transfer that would, if made, cause the balance in the Designated Deposit Account to fall to $50,000,000 or below, Purchaser Agent may, and at the written direction of Required Purchasers shall, without notice or demand, place a “hold” or deliver a notice of exclusive control, entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to the Control Agreement in respect of the Designated Deposit Account. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any transfer of cash from the Designated Deposit Account that is not a Specified Transfer will constitute an immediate Put Option Event with no grace or cure period.
