The parties hereto hereby enter into this letter agreement (this “Agreement”) in reference to the Underwriting Agreement, dated as December 17, 2020 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), by and between Dune Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co.

Dune hereby agrees Cantor shall have the right (in Cantor’s sole discretion) to act as a capital markets advisor to Dune in the event that Dune’s proposed initial business combination transaction with TradeZero Holding Corp. fails to close. Such engagement shall be on terms on and conditions to be set forth in a separate written agreement, which agreement will be based on Cantor’s customary form for similar engagements, and in any event shall provide for a fee payable to Cantor upon the closing of any business combination relating to such engagement of $3.8 million. Such right shall not extend to any capital raising transaction following the consummation of Dune’s initial business combination.
This Agreement and any transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
Except as specifically amended by this Agreement, all other provisions of the Underwriting Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
