Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter (this “Sponsor Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, by and among Genesis Park Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Acquiror”), Shepard Merger Sub Corporation, a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Acquiror (“Merger Sub”), Cosmos Intermediate, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings (the “Company”), and Redwire, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”), and hereby amends and restates in its entirety that certain letter agreement (the “Prior Letter Agreement”), dated November 23, 2020, by and among Acquiror, Genesis Park Holdings (the “Sponsor”) and each of the undersigned individuals, each of whom is a member of the Company’s board of directors and/or management team (each, an “Insider” and collectively, the “Insiders”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.

As of the date hereof, the Sponsor and the Insiders are the record and the “beneficial owners” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the shares of Acquiror Common Stock (the “Acquiror Common Shares”) and private placement warrants of Acquiror (the “Acquiror Warrants”) set forth opposite such Person’s name on Schedule I attached hereto.

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 and each of the Insiders hereby agree, severally (and not jointly and severally), with Acquiror as follows:

1. During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the earlier to occur of (a) the Closing and (b) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall be validly terminated in accordance with Section 12.01 thereof (the earlier of (a) and (b), the “Expiration Time”), Sponsor and each Insider hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees: (i) that at any duly called meeting of the stockholders of Acquiror (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), and in any action by written consent of the stockholders of Acquiror requested by Acquiror’s board of directors or undertaken as contemplated by the Transactions, the Sponsor and each such Insider shall, if a meeting is held, appear at the meeting, in person or by proxy, or otherwise cause all of its, his or her Acquiror Common Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum, and shall vote or consent (or cause to be voted or consented), in person or by proxy, all of its, his or her Acquiror Common Shares (a) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Transactions (and any actions required in furtherance thereof), (b) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement of Acquiror contained in the Merger Agreement, (c) in favor of the other Acquiror Stockholder Matters, (d) for any proposal to adjourn or postpone the applicable stockholder meeting to a later date if (and only if) (1) there are not sufficient votes for approval of the Merger Agreement and the other Acquiror Stockholder Matters on the dates on which such meetings are held or (2) the closing condition in Section 11.03(c) of the Merger Agreement has not been satisfied, and (e) except as set forth in the Proxy Statement, against the following actions or proposals: (1) any Business Combination Proposal or any proposal in opposition to approval of the Merger

Agreement or in competition with or inconsistent with the Merger Agreement; and (2) (A) any change in the present capitalization of Acquiror or any amendment of the Articles, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (B) any liquidation, dissolution or other change in Acquiror’s corporate structure or business, (C) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would result in a breach in any material respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of the Sponsor or such Insider under this Sponsor Agreement, or (D) any other action or proposal involving Acquiror or any of its subsidiaries that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Transactions and (ii) not to redeem, elect to redeem or tender or submit any of its shares of Acquiror Common Stock owned by it, him or her for redemption in connection with such stockholder approval or proposed Business Combination, or in connection with any vote to amend the Articles. Prior to any valid termination of the Merger Agreement, (x) the Sponsor and each Insider shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary under applicable Laws to consummate the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, and (y) the Sponsor and each Insider shall be bound by and comply with Sections 10.03(b) (Exclusivity) and 10.06(b) (Confidentiality; Publicity) of the Merger Agreement (and any relevant definitions contained in any such Sections) as if such Person were a signatory to the Merger Agreement with respect to such provisions. The obligations of the Sponsor and the Insiders specified in this paragraph 1 shall apply whether or not the Mergers, any of the Transactions or any action described above is recommended by the Acquiror Board.

2. From and after such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall be validly terminated in accordance with Section 12.01 thereof, the Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees that if the Acquiror seeks shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, then in connection with such proposed Business Combination, it, he or she shall (i) vote any Ordinary Shares owned by it, him or her in favor of such proposed Business Combination and (ii) not redeem any Ordinary Shares owned by it, him or her in connection with such shareholder approval. If Acquiror engages in a tender offer in connection with any proposed Business Combination, each Insider agrees that he or she will not seek to sell his or her Ordinary Shares to Acquiror in connection with such tender offer.

3. Without limiting their obligations under paragraphs 8(a) and 8(b) below, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Expiration Time, the Sponsor and each Insider shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, Transfer any Units, Acquiror Common Shares or Acquiror Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Acquiror Common Stock owned by it, him or her (other than pursuant to that certain Forfeiture Agreement). In the event that (i) any Acquiror Common Shares, Acquiror Warrants or other equity securities of Acquiror are issued to the Sponsor or any Insider after the date hereof pursuant to any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of Acquiror Common Shares of, on or affecting the Acquiror Common Shares owned by the Sponsor or any Insider or otherwise, (ii) the Sponsor or any Insider purchases or otherwise acquires beneficial ownership of any Acquiror Common Shares, Acquiror Warrants or other equity securities of Acquiror after the date hereof or (iii) the Sponsor or any Insider acquires the right to vote or share in the voting of any Acquiror Common Shares, Acquiror Warrants or other equity securities of Acquiror after the date hereof (such Acquiror Common Shares, Acquiror Warrants or other equity securities of Acquiror described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the “New Shares”), then such New Shares acquired or purchased by the Sponsor or any Insider shall be subject to the terms of this paragraph 3 and paragraph 1 above to the same extent as if they constituted the Acquiror Common Shares or Acquiror Warrants owned by the Sponsor or any Insider as of the date hereof.

4. The Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees that in the event that Acquiror fails to consummate a Business Combination within the timeframe set forth in Acquiror’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as amended from time to time (the “Articles”), the Sponsor and each Insider shall take all reasonable steps to cause Acquiror to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock (the “Ordinary Shares”) sold as part of Acquiror’s units (the “Units”) in the Public Offering (the “Offering Shares”), at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Acquiror to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish all Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders of Acquiror (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Acquiror’s remaining shareholders and Acquiror’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to Acquiror’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. The Sponsor and each Insider agree not to propose any amendment to the Articles (a) to modify the substance or timing of Acquiror’s obligation to provide for the redemption of the Offering Shares in connection with an initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of such shares if Acquiror has not consummated an initial Business Combination within such time as is described in the Articles or (b) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless Acquiror provides its Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Offering Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Acquiror to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares. The Sponsor and each Insider agree to waive their respective redemption rights with respect to Acquiror Common Shares owned by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Articles (1) to modify the substance or timing of Acquiror’s obligation to provide for the redemption of the Offering Shares in connection with an initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of such shares if Acquiror has not consummated an initial Business Combination within such time as is described in the Articles or (2) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity.

The Sponsor and each Insider acknowledges that it, he or she has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or any other asset of Acquiror as a result of any liquidation of Acquiror with respect to the shares of Acquiror Class B Common Stock (the “Founder Shares”) held by it, him or her. The Sponsor and each Insider hereby further waives, with respect to any Ordinary Shares held by it, him or her, if any, any redemption rights it, he or she may have in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, including, without limitation, any such rights available in the context of a shareholder vote to approve such Business Combination or in the context of a tender offer made by Acquiror to purchase Ordinary Shares (although the Sponsor, the Insiders and their respective affiliates shall be entitled to redemption and liquidation rights with respect to any Offering Shares it or they hold if Acquiror fails to consummate a Business Combination within the timeframe set forth in the Articles).

5. During the period commencing on the effective date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 180 days after such date, the Sponsor and each Insider shall not, without the prior written consent of Jefferies LLC, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, with respect to any Units, Acquiror Common Shares, Acquiror Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, Ordinary Shares owned by it, him or her, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Units, Acquiror Common Shares, Acquiror Warrants or any securities convertible into,

 

- 3 -

or exercisable, or exchangeable for, Ordinary Shares owned by it, him or her, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii). Each of the Insiders and the Sponsor acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the effective date of any release or waiver of the restrictions set forth in this paragraph 5 or paragraph 8 below, Acquiror shall announce the impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted shall only be effective two business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph 5 will not apply if (i) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer of securities that is not for consideration and (ii) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Sponsor Agreement to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

6. In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, the Sponsor (which, for purposes of clarification, shall not extend to any other shareholders, members or managers of the Sponsor or any Insider) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Acquiror against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, whether pending or threatened, or any claim whatsoever) to which Acquiror may become subject as a result of any claim by (i) any third party (other than Acquiror’s independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to Acquiror or (ii) a prospective target business with which Acquiror has entered into a letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement for a Business Combination agreement (a “Target”); provided, however, that such indemnification of Acquiror by the Sponsor shall apply only to the extent necessary to ensure that such claims by a third party for services rendered (other than Acquiror’s independent public accountants) or products sold to Acquiror or a Target do not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.15 per Offering Share or (ii) the actual amount per Offering Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.15 per Offering Share, due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, except as to any claims by a third party (including a Target) who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) and except as to any claims under Acquiror’s indemnity of the underwriters under the underwriting agreement, dated November 23, 2020 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), in respect of the Public Offering (the “Underwriters”) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Sponsor shall have the right to defend against any such claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to Acquiror if, within 15 days following written receipt of notice of the claim to the Sponsor, the Sponsor notifies Acquiror in writing that it shall undertake such defense. For the avoidance of doubt, none of Acquiror’s officers or directors will indemnify Acquiror for claims by third parties, including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective Targets.

7. The Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees and acknowledges that (i) (a) the Underwriters would be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by the Sponsor or an Insider of its, his or her obligations under paragraphs 2, 4, 5, 6, 8(a), 8(b) and 10 of this Sponsor Agreement; (b) the Acquiror would be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by the Sponsor or an Insider of its, his or her obligations under paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8(a), 8(b), 10 and 21 of this Sponsor Agreement; and (c) prior to any valid termination of the Merger Agreement, the Company would be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by the Sponsor or an Insider of its, his or her obligations under paragraphs 1, 3, 8(a), 8(b), 8(c) and 21 of this Sponsor Agreement; (ii) monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for any such breach and (iii) the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy that such party may have in law or in equity, in the event of such breach.
