(b)
(i) At any time that the Company determines, acting in good faith, that it is reasonably likely to be ready to commercially deploy vehicles in fully driverless operation (the date of readiness for such initial deployment, the “Commercial Deployment”) within the following one hundred twenty (120) day period, the Company shall be entitled to deliver written notice of such determination to SoftBank (it being understood that delivery of such written notice (or failure to deliver such written notice) shall not be binding in any respect and the failure of Commercial Deployment to occur on such timetable shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement by any Member or the Company). Following delivery of any such written notification, the Company and SoftBank (each acting reasonably and in good faith) will cooperate to identify and mutually agree upon, as promptly as reasonably practicable, whether any approvals, consents, registrations, permits or authorizations (or the expiration of any waiting periods) are required under the HSR Act or any comparable laws in any foreign jurisdiction (the “A-1-B Antitrust Approvals”) in connection with the issuance of Class A-1-B Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 2.02(c).
(ii) If any A-1-B Antitrust Approvals are identified and agreed pursuant to Section 2.02(b)(i) then each Class A-1 Preferred Member and each Class A-2 Preferred Member will (and will cause its Affiliates to) (A) make (as promptly as reasonably practicable) such notifications, registrations and filings necessary or advisable in connection with obtaining the A-1-B Antitrust Approvals and (B) without limiting the foregoing, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain (as promptly as reasonably practicable) the A-1-B Antitrust Approvals. If the A-1-B Antitrust Approvals are not obtained (or, as applicable, any waiting period has not expired or early termination of any waiting period has not been granted) prior to end of the Payment Period, then the Payment Period will be extended until such A-1-B Antitrust Approvals are obtained or until the waiting periods with respect to such A-1-B Antitrust Approvals have expired or been terminated (as applicable); provided that, in order to obtain such A-1-B Antitrust Approvals, (1) none of GM nor any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates shall be required to offer or commit to hold separate, sell, divest or dispose, or suffer any restriction on the operation, of any assets, properties or businesses of GM Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates (including the Company), and (2) none of SoftBank nor any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates shall be required to offer or commit to hold separate, sell, divest or dispose, or suffer any restriction on the operation, management, or governance of, any assets, properties or businesses of SoftBank or any portfolio companies (as such term is commonly understood in the private equity industry) of SoftBank or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or, with the sole exception of the Company, any companies in which SoftBank or any of SoftBank’s Subsidiaries or other Affiliates hold a minority equity position.
(c)
(i) Within three (3) Business Days of the date on which Commercial Deployment has occurred, the Company will provide written notice to SoftBank and the GM Investor of the same (such notice, the “CD Notice”). Subject to the satisfaction of the Second Tranche
7

Conditions, within fifty (50) days (or such shorter period contemplated by the immediately following sentence) of the delivery of the CD Notice (such applicable period, the “Payment Period”), SoftBank will purchase and acquire from the Company, and the Company will issue, sell and deliver to SoftBank, a number of Class A-1-B Preferred Shares equal to $1,350,000,000 (the “Subsequent SoftBank Commitment”) divided by the Class A-1-B Preferred Capital Value, in consideration for payment by SoftBank in full of such amount paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company and free and clear of any withholding. If GM, prior to the date that Commercial Deployment occurs, confirms (by way of a binding and irrevocable written notice to SoftBank (the “Advance Notice”)) the definitive date on which Commercial Deployment will occur, then the Payment Period will be reduced by the aggregate number of days between the date the Advance Notice is delivered to SoftBank in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the date of Commercial Deployment; provided, that in no event will the Payment Period be reduced to fewer than twenty five (25) days following the date on which Commercial Deployment occurs.
(ii) If the Second Tranche Conditions have been satisfied but the Subsequent SoftBank Commitment is not fully paid by start of the Business Day following the final day of the Payment Period, then, automatically and without any further action by the Company or any Member (and without any recourse by any Member): (A) the provisions of Section 6.13(a) through 6.13(d) will be suspended and cease to apply for such time as any amount of the Subsequent SoftBank Commitment is due and payable but remains unpaid, (B) the Class A-1 Preferred Return will cease to accrue on each Class A-1 Preferred Share (with, subject to the immediately following proviso, no catch-up right or right to be made whole if the Subsequent SoftBank Commitment is later paid in full; provided, that if the Subsequent SoftBank Commitment is paid in full within fifteen (15) days of the final day of the Payment Period (such fifteen (15) day period, the “Cure Period”), each Class A-1 Preferred Share will be entitled to the Class A-1 Preferred Return accrued during the period beginning on the final day of the Payment Period and ending on the date that the Subsequent SoftBank Commitment is fully paid), and (C) in the event that the Subsequent SoftBank Commitment is not paid in full by the end of the Cure Period, the amendments to this Agreement contemplated by Sections 2.02(d)(i) and Section 2.02(d)(ii) will apply and become effective from and after the final day of the Cure Period.
(iii) The remedies provided for in Section 2.02(c)(ii) are in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other right of the Company or any other Member provided by law, this Agreement or any other agreement entered into by or among any one or more of the Members (or their Affiliates) or the Company (including any rights arising as a result of or in connection with a breach by SoftBank of its obligations under Section 5.1 of the SoftBank Purchase Agreement). Each Member further acknowledges that any actions taken or not taken by the Company pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(ii) shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any other duty stated or implied in law or equity to any Member.
8

(d) If the SoftBank CFIUS Condition has not been satisfied prior to the occurrence of Commercial Deployment, then (without prejudice to the rights of GM or the Company arising as a result of or in connection with any breach by SoftBank of its obligations under Section 5.1 of the SoftBank Purchase Agreement) upon the occurrence of Commercial Deployment, automatically and without any further action by the Company or any Member (and without any recourse by any Member):
(i) the Class A-1 Preferred Return will (effective on and after the date of Commercial Deployment) be permanently reduced from a rate of seven percent (7%) per annum to a rate of three and a half percent (3.5%) per annum;
(ii) the denominator in the definition of A-1-A Preferred Share Conversion Ratio will be permanently increased from $10 to $16;
(iii) the conversion ratio for the Class A-2 Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 2.11(a), Section 9.07(a)(i), Section 9.10(a), clause (ii) of the definition of “Control Period”, the definition of “SoftBank Floor Amount”, clause (i) of the definition of “Optional SoftBank Conversion Share Price”, the definition of “Per Class A-1 Preferred Share FMV” and clause (i) of the definition of “Preemptive Proportion” shall be adjusted from a 1:1 ratio to 0.625 of a Class C Common Share per one Class A-2 Preferred Share (as adjusted, as necessary, to reflect appropriate and proportional adjustments to take into account any subdivision, reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares or similar event); and
(iv) Section 6.13(c) will be amended to read, in its entirety, as follows:
“issue any Equity Securities that have rights, preferences or privileges with respect to Distributions, senior to the rights of the Class A-1 Preferred Shares in Sections 3.01(b)(i) or 3.02(a)(i) (“Senior Securities”); provided, that this Section 6.13(c) will not apply to the first $1,350,000,000 of new Senior Securities issued after the occurrence of Commercial Deployment (with such amount being calculated based on the consideration paid by the recipient(s) of such Senior Securities).”
(e) Pursuant to the SoftBank Purchase Agreement and the IPMA, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, on the Original Closing Date, GM (i) made, (A) a Capital Contribution totaling $1,100,000,000 in the aggregate and (B) a contribution of the Transferred Entities (as defined in the SoftBank Purchase Agreement) pursuant to the Restructuring (as defined in the SoftBank Purchase Agreement) and (ii) granted certain rights to the Company under the IPMA (together with the contributions in clause (i), the “GM Commitment”), in exchange for which the Company issued to GM 1,100,000 Class A-2 Preferred Shares and 5,500,000 Class C Common Shares.
9

(a) Awards of Class B Common Shares (“Share Awards”), options to purchase Class B Common Shares (“Options”) and rights to receive Class B Common Shares (“RSUs”, and collectively with Share Awards and Options, “Equity Awards”) may be granted or issued, as applicable, on or after the Original Closing Date to Employee Members pursuant to the terms of a Share Grant Agreement and in accordance with the 2018/2019 Incentive Plan or any successor employee incentive plan.
(b) With respect to Fiscal Years 2018 and 2019, the Company may grant or issue to Employee Members (pursuant to Share Grant Agreements) Equity Awards that may be issued, exercised or settled into, in the aggregate, up to that maximum number of Class B Common Shares set forth in the 2018/2019 Incentive Plan. From and after Fiscal Year 2020, the Company (acting upon the approval of the Board of Directors) may issue additional Equity Awards to Employee Members.
(c) The Board of Directors shall have the authority to determine the terms and conditions of the Share Grant Agreement to be executed by any Employee Members in connection with the grant of Equity Awards to such Employee Members (including terms and conditions relating to vesting, forfeiture, options to purchase and/or sell Class B Common Shares upon termination of employment and purchase prices and terms of any purchase and/or sale with respect thereto).
(d) Each Share Grant Agreement with respect to Equity Awards is intended to qualify as a compensatory benefit plan within the meaning of Rule 701 of the Securities Act and the issuance of Class B Common Shares, from time to time, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Share Grant Agreement is intended to qualify for the exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 701 thereof; provided, that, subject to Section 2.03(b), the foregoing shall not restrict or limit the Company’s ability to issue any Class B Common Shares pursuant to any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act available to the Company and to designate any such issuance as not being subject to Rule 701.
(e) Subject, in each case, to the terms and conditions of the applicable Share Grant Agreement (and as appropriately adjusted for the Share Split):
(i) Class B Common Shares that would be issued as a result of the exercise of a right to purchase pursuant to an issued Option shall be deemed, prior to their actual issuance, to be issued unvested Class B Common Shares for the purposes of Section 3.01(b)(ii) (and the holder of the Option shall be deemed a Class B Member solely for such purpose); provided, that, for clarity, no Distributions will actually be made with respect to such deemed unvested Class
10

B Common Shares and Section 3.03 will not apply to such deemed unvested Class B Common Shares; and
(ii) Class B Common Shares that would be issued as a result of the right to receive such Shares pursuant to an RSU shall be deemed, prior to their actual issuance, to be issued unvested Class B Common Shares for the purposes of Sections 3.01(b)(ii) and 3.01(b)(iii) (and the holder of the RSU shall be deemed a Class B Member solely for such purposes) and Section 3.03.
2.04 Additional Classes of Shares.
(a) Class E Common Shares. Pursuant to the Honda Purchase Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, Honda made Capital Contributions totaling $750,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Honda Commitment”), pursuant to which the Company has issued to Honda 495,000 Class E Common Shares.
(b) Class F Preferred Shares. Pursuant to the Class F Purchase Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, each Class F New Member, SoftBank, Honda and GM made the Capital Contributions shown against the name of such Class F Preferred Member on Exhibit III, totaling $1,150,000,025 in the aggregate (the “Class F Commitment”), pursuant to which the Company issued to such Class F Preferred Members the Class F Preferred Shares shown against the name of such Class F Preferred Member on Exhibit III, which includes the Deferred Shares (as defined in the Class F Purchase Agreement) issued to SoftBank.
2.05 Other Contributions. No Member shall be required to make any contributions to the Company other than the Capital Contributions as provided in this Article II or as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. Subject to Section 2.07, the Company shall not accept any Capital Contributions, other than Capital Contributions in respect of the Commitments, from a Member or any other Person unless the terms and conditions of any such Capital Contribution and related issuance of Shares have been approved by the Board of Directors.
2.06 Issuances of Shares. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement (including Section 2.02, Section 2.07 and Section 6.13), the Board of Directors shall have sole and complete discretion in determining whether to issue any Equity Securities, the number and type of Equity Securities to be issued (including the creation of new series or classes of Shares) at any particular time and all other terms and conditions governing any such Equity Securities (including the issuance thereof); provided, that (a) the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Subsequent SoftBank Commitment shall be on the terms set forth in this Agreement and shall not require any additional approval of the Board of Directors and (b) the Company shall not issue any Equity Securities (whether denominated as Shares or otherwise) to any Person unless such Person shall have agreed to be bound by this Agreement and shall have executed such documents or instruments as the Board of Directors determines to be necessary or appropriate to effect such Person’s admission as a Member.
11

2.07 Preemptive Rights.
(a) Except as provided in Section 2.07(e) or Section 2.07(f), if the Company wishes to issue any Equity Securities to any Person or Persons (all such Equity Securities, collectively, the “New Securities”), then the Company shall promptly deliver a written notice of intention to sell (the “Company’s Notice of Intention to Sell”) to each holder of Preemptive Shares setting forth a description of the New Securities to be sold, the proposed purchase price, the aggregate number of New Securities to be sold and the terms and conditions of sale. Upon receipt of the Company’s Notice of Intention to Sell, each holder of Preemptive Shares shall have the right, during the Acceptance Period, to elect to purchase, at the price and on the terms and conditions stated in the Company’s Notice of Intention to Sell, up to the number of New Securities equal to the product of (i) such holder’s Preemptive Proportion, multiplied by (ii) the aggregate number of New Securities to be issued; provided, that if the New Securities consist of more than one class, series or type of Equity Securities, then any holder of Preemptive Shares who elects to purchase such New Securities pursuant to this Section 2.07 must purchase the same proportionate mix of all of such securities; provided, further, that if the New Securities are issued in connection with any debt financing undertaken by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and to which preemptive rights otherwise apply pursuant to this Section 2.07, then any Class A-1 Member, Class D Member, Class E Member or Class F Preferred Member who elects to purchase such New Securities pursuant to this Section 2.07 must, to be eligible to receive such New Securities, participate in the underlying debt instrument for such financing (A) with and on the same terms as the other lenders thereunder and (B) in the same percentage as their Preemptive Proportion of New Securities that such Member wishes to purchase pursuant to this Section 2.07. If one or more holders of Preemptive Shares do not elect to purchase their entire share of the New Securities (such aggregate portion of New Securities that has not been so elected, the “Excess New Securities”), then the Company will offer, by written notice (the “Supplemental Notice of Intention to Sell”), to each holder of Preemptive Shares who has elected to purchase his, her or its entire proportion of the New Securities pursuant to this Section 2.07 (the “Full Participants”) the right to elect to purchase, at the price and on the terms and conditions stated in the Company’s Notice of Intention to Sell:
(i) in relation to Class F Preferred Shares held by Full Participants, their Class F Preemptive Proportion (the “Class F Excess Process”); and
(ii) following completion of the Class F Excess Process, in relation to all other Preemptive Shares held by Full Participants their Preemptive Proportion (calculated as if (A) Class F Preferred Shares are excluded from the determination of Preemptive Proportion (including the Total Conversion Shares used therefor) and (B) the Total Conversion Shares excludes all Shares of each holder of Preemptive Shares that did not elect to purchase their entire share of the New Securities) of the Excess New Securities remaining after the Class F Excess Process, such that all of the Excess New Securities remaining after the Class F Excess Process may be purchased by such holders, if so elected.
12

All elections under this Section 2.07(a) must be made by written notice to the Company within fifteen (15) days (or such later date determined by the Board of Directors) after receipt by such holder of Preemptive Shares of (as applicable) the Company’s Notice of Intention to Sell or the Supplemental Notice of Intention to Sell (the “Acceptance Period”).
(b) If the holders of Preemptive Shares have not elected to purchase all of the New Securities described in a Company’s Notice of Intention to Sell, then the Company may, at its election, during the period of ninety (90) days immediately following the expiration of the Acceptance Period therefor (or the expiration of the Acceptance Period relating to the Supplemental Notice of Intention to Sell, if the same is issued), sell and issue any of the New Securities not elected for purchase pursuant to Section 2.07(a) to any Person(s) at a price and upon terms and conditions no more favorable, in the aggregate, to such Person(s) than those stated in the Company’s Notice of Intention to Sell.
(c) In the event the Company has not sold the New Securities to be issued within such ninety (90) day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any such New Securities without once again offering such securities to each holder of Preemptive Shares in the manner provided in Section 2.07(a).
(d) If a holder of Preemptive Shares elects to purchase any of the New Securities, payment therefor shall be made by wire transfer against delivery of such New Securities at the principal office of the Company within fifteen (15) days of such election unless a later date is mutually agreed between the Company and such holder of Preemptive Shares; provided, that if SoftBank elects to purchase any of the New Securities, to the extent necessary in order to accommodate the time required to call capital to purchase the Preemptive Shares, payment therefor shall be made by wire transfer against delivery of such New Securities at the principal office of the Company within thirty five (35) days of such election by SoftBank.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) no holder of Preemptive Shares shall have a right to purchase New Securities pursuant to this Section 2.07, if such purchase will, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors, violate any applicable laws (whether or not such violation may be cured by a filing of a registration statement or any other special disclosure) and (ii) in lieu of offering any New Securities to any holder of Preemptive Shares prior to the time such New Securities are offered or sold to any other Person or Persons, the Company may comply with the provisions of this Section 2.07 by first issuing New Securities to such other Person or Persons, and promptly after such issuance (or acceptance) (and, in any event, within thirty (30) days thereafter) making an offer to sell (or causing such other Person or Persons to offer to sell), to the holders of Preemptive Shares, New Securities in such a manner so as to enable such holders of Preemptive Shares to effectively exercise their respective rights pursuant to Section 2.07(a) with respect to their purchase, for cash, of such New Securities as they would have been entitled to purchase pursuant to Section 2.07(a).
13

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.07, the preemptive rights contained in this Section 2.07 shall not apply to:
(i) any Equity Securities issued pursuant to the funding of the GM Commitment, the SoftBank Commitment and the Subsequent SoftBank Commitment;
(ii) any Equity Securities issued pursuant to Sections 2.10 or 2.11;
(iii) any Class B Common Shares that may be issued to Employee Members, including upon the exercise or settlement of any Equity Award;
(iv) any Equity Securities issued in connection with an IPO (including pursuant to Section 9.10(c));
(v) any Equity Securities issued upon any subdivision, split, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or similar reorganization; and
(vi) any Equity Securities issued in connection with any merger, consolidation, acquisition for stock, business combination, purchase of assets or business(es) of, or any similar extraordinary transaction with a third party (each an “M&A Transaction”); provided that the value (measured as of the date of issuance) of such Equity Securities issued by the Company pursuant to the exemption set forth in this Section 2.07(f)(vi) does not exceed an aggregate of $250,000,000 with respect to any individual calendar year (it being understood that in the event such $250,000,000 cap is exceeded in any given calendar year, the preemptive rights contained in this Section 2.07 will apply (subject to the other limitations set forth in this Agreement) solely with respect to that portion of Equity Securities issued in excess of such cap in such calendar year).
2.08 Certificates. The Company may, but shall not be required to, issue certificates representing Shares (“Certificated Shares”).
2.09 Repurchase Rights. If an Employee Member ceases to be employed by or provide services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any reason, then the Company shall have the right (but not the obligation) to repurchase all or any portion of the Class B Common Shares held by such Employee Member and his or her Permitted Transferees and not otherwise forfeited (pursuant to this Agreement, the relevant employee incentive plan in place at the time or the applicable Share Grant Agreement or other agreement (or agreements) with the Company) at a price per Class B Common Share specified by, on the timeline provided by, and otherwise on the terms and conditions contained within, a Share Grant Agreement or other agreement (or agreements) between an Employee Member and the Company.
2.10 Optional A-1 Conversion.
(a) Each Class A-1 Preferred Member shall have the right, at such Member’s option, at any time and from time to time to convert all or any portion of the Class A-1 Preferred
14

Shares held by such Member into Class D Common Shares by providing the Company with written notice of such conversion. A conversion of Class A-1 Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) shall be effective as of the close of business on the first (1st) Business Day after the Company’s receipt of the conversion notice.
(b) In connection with any conversion pursuant to Section 2.10(a), (i) each Class A-1-A Preferred Share will be converted into Class D Common Shares at the A-1-A Preferred Share Conversion Ratio and (ii) each Class A-1-B Preferred Share will be converted into Class D Common Shares at the A-1-B Preferred Share Conversion Ratio.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Class A-1 Preferred Share that has been converted into a Class D Common Share under this Section 2.10 shall cease to have the rights, preferences and privileges provided under this Agreement for the Class A-1 Preferred Shares and shall thereafter be treated as a Class D Common Share for all purposes.
2.11 Optional A-2 Conversion.
(a) Each Class A-2 Preferred Member shall have the right, at such Member’s option, at any time and from time to time, to convert all or any portion of the Class A-2 Preferred Shares held by such Member into Class C Common Shares, at a 1:1 ratio (as adjusted to reflect appropriate and proportional adjustments to take into account any subdivision, reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares or similar event) by providing the Company with written notice of such conversion. A conversion of Class A-2 Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be effective as of the close of business on the first (1st) Business Day after the Company’s receipt of the conversion notice.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Class A-2 Preferred Share that has been converted into a Class C Common Share under this Section 2.11 shall cease to have the rights, preferences and privileges provided under this Agreement for the Class A-2 Preferred Shares and shall thereafter be treated as a Class C Common Share for all purposes.
ARTICLE III
DISTRIBUTIONS
3.01 Distributions.
(a) Except as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement, all Distributions shall be made to the Persons who are the holders of Shares at the time such Distributions are made.
(b) Subject to Section 3.02 and Section 3.03, and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.01, Distributions pursuant to this Article III shall be made Quarterly in arrears (on the final day of each Quarter) in the following order of priority:
15

(i) First, Distributions shall be made to the Class A-1 Preferred Members in respect of their Class A-1 Preferred Shares (ratably among such Members based upon, for the relevant Quarter, the aggregate Class A-1 Preferred Return with respect to the Class A-1 Preferred Shares held by each such Member immediately prior to such Distribution) until each Class A-1 Preferred Member has received Distributions in respect of such Member’s Class A-1 Preferred Shares in an amount equal to the aggregate Class A-1 Preferred Return for such Quarter (and not, for clarity, the full Class A-1 Preferred Unpaid Return) with respect to the Class A-1 Preferred Shares held by such Class A-1 Preferred Member immediately prior to such Distribution. The Company may, at its option, with respect to all or any portion of the Distributions on the Class A-1-A Preferred Shares and Class A-1-B Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 3.01(b)(i) for any Quarter, elect to pay such Distribution in (A) cash or (B) by the accretion (with respect to such Quarter) of the Class A-1 Preferred Return on such Shares (which such accretion in the Class A-1 Preferred Return, and resultant increase in the Class A-1 Preferred Unpaid Return for such Shares, shall constitute a Distribution hereunder).
(ii) Second, Distributions shall be made to the Non-A-1 Members until the cumulative amount received in cash by each of the Members pursuant to this Section 3.01(b)(ii) and Section 3.01(b)(i) with respect to all such Distributions made after June 28, 2018 to the relevant calculation date (including, for clarity, any Distributions made in such applicable Quarter pursuant to Section 3.01(b)(i)), equals the amount such Member would have received if all such Distributions had been distributed ratably on an as-converted basis (for the purpose of such calculation with (A) the Class A-1 Preferred Shares being deemed converted to Class D Common Shares pursuant to Section 2.10(b), and (B) Class F Preferred Shares being deemed converted to Class D Common Shares at the Class F Preferred Share Conversion Ratio) among such Members based upon the number of Non-A-1 Interests held by each such Non-A-1 Member and the number of Class A-1 Preferred Shares held by each such Class A-1 Preferred Member, in each case, immediately prior to such Distribution. For the avoidance of doubt, the Class A-1 Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to any Distributions pursuant to this Section 3.01(b)(ii).
(iii) Third, all further Distributions shall be made to each Non-A-1 Member and Class A-1 Preferred Member ratably on an as-converted basis among such Members based upon the number of Non-A-1 Interests held by each such Non-A-1 Member and the number of Class A-1 Preferred Shares held by each such Class A-1 Preferred Member, in each case, immediately prior to such Distribution; provided, that, for the purposes of this Section 3.01(b)(iii), the (A) Class A-1 Preferred Shares shall be deemed converted to Class D Common Shares pursuant to Section 2.10(b) without (for the purposes of calculating such conversion) any reduction in the Class A-1-A Preferred Unpaid Return or Class A-1-B Preferred Unpaid Return due to Distributions for such Quarter made pursuant to this Section 3.01(b)(iii), and (B) Class F Preferred Shares being deemed converted to Class D Common Shares at the Class F Preferred Share Conversion Ratio.
(c) No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the end of each Quarter, the Company will send written notice to each Class A-1 Preferred Member stating whether the
16

Distribution pursuant to Section 3.01(b)(i) for such Quarter will be paid in cash. If the Company fails to timely send such written notice then, with respect to such Quarter, the Company will be deemed to have irrevocably elected to pay the Distribution pursuant to Section 3.01(b)(i) by the accretion of the Class A-1 Preferred Return. For clarity, (i) the Company may elect, independently as to each class, to pay cash Distributions with respect to a Quarter on either, or both, of the Class A-1-A Preferred Shares and Class A-1-B Preferred Shares and (ii) so long as the full Distribution has been made on each Class A-1 Preferred Share pursuant to Section 3.01(b)(i), the Company may (but shall not be required to) make Distributions pursuant to Section 3.01(b)(ii) and Section 3.01(b)(iii).
(d) No distributions shall be made in respect of a Vested Class B Common Share pursuant to Section 3.01(b)(ii), Section 3.01(b)(iii) or Section 3.02(a)(iii), until such time that an aggregate amount of Distributions (since the date of grant of such Class B Common Share) pursuant to Section 3.01(b) or 3.02(a), as applicable, equal to the Class B Floor Amount shall have been Distributed on each Class C Common Share. For the avoidance of doubt, no holder of any Class B Common Share will later have the right to receive any amount foregone pursuant to the preceding sentence of this Section 3.01(d).
(e) Any reference in this agreement to a Distribution to a Substituted Member shall include any Distributions previously made to the predecessor Member on account of the interest of such predecessor Member transferred to such Substituted Member.
(f) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement the Company shall not make any Distribution to Members if such Distribution would violate Section 18-607 of the Act or other applicable law.
3.02 Distributions Upon Liquidation or a Deemed Liquidation Event.
(a) Notwithstanding Section 3.01, upon a liquidation (pursuant to Article X) or a Deemed Liquidation Event, the Company shall distribute the net proceeds or assets available for distribution, whether in cash or in other property, to the Members as follows:
(i) First, Class A-1 Preferred Members and Class F Preferred Members shall receive, on a pro rata basis (proportional to their share of the aggregate (A) Class A-1 Liquidation Preference Amount for all Class A-1 Preferred Shares, plus (B) Class F Liquidation Preference Amount for all Class F Preferred Shares) for each Class A-1 Preferred Share and Class F Preferred Share, as applicable, the greater of (1) (x) for each Class A-1 Preferred Share held by such Class A-1 Preferred Member, the applicable Class A-1 Liquidation Preference Amount, and (y) for each Class F Preferred Share held by such Class F Preferred Member, the Class F Liquidation Preference Amount, and (2) the amount distributable pursuant to Section 3.02(a)(iii) with respect to such Class A-1 Preferred Share or Class F Preferred Share, as applicable, as if such Share had converted into a Class D Common Share (pursuant to Section 2.10, in the case of a Class A-1 Preferred Share, and at the Class F Preferred Share Conversion Ratio, in the case of a Class F
17

Preferred Share) immediately prior to the event giving rise to a Distribution pursuant to this Section 3.02. If upon any such liquidation or Deemed Liquidation Event, the net proceeds or assets available for distribution to the Members shall be insufficient to pay the holders of Class A-1 Preferred Shares and Class F Preferred Shares the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this Section 3.02(a)(i), the holders of Class A-1 Preferred Shares and Class F Preferred Shares shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of such shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full pursuant to this Section 3.02(a)(i).
(ii) Second, Class A-2 Preferred Members shall receive, for each Class A-2 Preferred Share, the greater of (A) the Class A-2 Liquidation Preference Amount and (B) the amount distributable pursuant to Section 3.02(a)(iii) with respect to such Class A-2 Preferred Share as if such Share had converted into a Class C Common Share (pursuant to Section 2.11) immediately prior to the event giving rise to a Distribution pursuant to this Section 3.02.
(iii) Third, to Non-A-1 Members (other than the Class A-2 Preferred Members and Class F Preferred Members), ratably among such Members based upon the number of Non-A-1 Interests held by each such Non-A-1 Member (other than Class A-2 Preferred Shares and Class F Preferred Shares).
(b) A “Deemed Liquidation Event” shall occur upon either of a Sale of the Company or a Drag-Along Sale Transaction.
3.03 Unvested Class B Common Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) no Distribution shall be made in respect of any Class B Common Share that is not a Vested Class B Common Share, (b) any amount that would otherwise be distributable in cash in respect of a Class B Common Share pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.02 but for the fact that such Class B Common Share is not a Vested Class B Common Share shall be withheld by the Company and Distributed with respect to such Class B Common Share, without interest, at the time of the first cash Distribution to the Non-A-1 Members following the date on which such Class B Common Share becomes a Vested Class B Common Share and (c) if a Class B Common Share that is not a Vested Class B Common Share is repurchased or forfeited (or otherwise becomes incapable of vesting), then such Class B Common Share shall not be entitled to receive or retain any Distributions.
3.04 Distributions In-Kind. Distributions of property other than cash, including securities (but, for the avoidance of doubt, Distributions in respect of the Class A-1 Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 3.01(b)(i) shall not include stock or securities issued by the Company and may only be made in cash or accretion pursuant to Section 3.01(b)(i)), may be made under this Agreement with the approval of the Board of Directors. Distributions of property other than cash shall be valued at Fair Market Value. Except as otherwise required by the Act or this Agreement, and subject in all respects to Section 3.01 and Section 3.02, no Member shall be entitled to Distributions of
18

property other than cash and the Board of Directors may make a determination to distribute property to one Member or group of Members and cash to the remaining Members so long as no Member is adversely affected in a manner which is disproportionate to the other Members as a result of such determination. The Company shall not make any in-kind distributions in respect of the Class F Preferred Shares of property that is not an equity security or debt security of an entity classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes without the consent of the Class F Preferred Members to whom such distribution is to be made.
ARTICLE IV
TAX MATTERS
4.01 Corporate Status. The Members intend that the Company be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal, and, as applicable, state and local, income tax purposes, and neither the Company nor any of the Members shall take any reporting position inconsistent with such treatment. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company has elected, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3(c), to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation, effective as of May 23, 2018. The Company will not make any other entity classification elections with respect to the Company without the prior written consent of all Members; provided that, if the Entity is eligible to make an entity classification election, it shall elect to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation, unless the prior written consent of all Members has been obtained.
4.02 Withholding. The Company is authorized to withhold from any payment made to a Member any amounts required to be withheld by the Company under applicable law and, if so required, remit any such amounts to the applicable governmental authority. Upon request by the Company in writing, each Member shall provide the Company with a properly completed and duly executed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8, or any other information, form or certificate reasonably necessary to determine whether and the extent to which any such withholding is required. If the Company, or the Board of Directors or any Affiliate of the Company, becomes liable as a result of a failure to withhold and remit taxes in respect of any Member and such failure was attributable to such Member’s failure to timely provide the Company with the appropriate information requested in writing by the Company regarding such Member’s tax status or tax payment obligations, then such Member shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, or the Board of Directors or any Affiliate of the Company, as the case may be, in respect of any such tax that should have been withheld and remitted (including any interest or penalties assessed or imposed thereon and any expenses incurred in any examination, determination, resolution and payment of such tax) but was not so withheld and remitted as a result of such Member’s failure to timely provide the Company with such information. The provisions contained in this Section 4.02 shall survive the termination of the Company and the withdrawal of any Member.
4.03 Tax Sharing.
(a) GM Consolidated Group. For the 2018 Tax Period of the GM Consolidated Group, the Company shall timely deliver to GM Parent a properly completed and duly executed
19

IRS Form 1122 (Authorization and Consent of Subsidiary Corporation To Be Included in a Consolidated Income Tax Return) and any similar or corresponding forms required for state or local income or franchise tax purposes. The Company acknowledges and agrees that GM Parent shall act as sole agent (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-77) for the Company with respect to any Tax Period for which the Company joins one or more members of the GM Consolidated Group in filing a GM Consolidated Return, provided that the GM Investor shall cause GM Parent to not take any action with respect to any tax matters, including any action in its role as sole agent (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-77) that has a material and disproportionate adverse impact on the Company or SoftBank, without the Company’s or SoftBank’s consent, as applicable, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(b) Payment from the GM Investor to the Company for Use of Company NOLs and Tax Credits.
(i) If upon a Deconsolidation the NOL Deficit Amount exceeds zero, the GM Investor shall pay to the Company, with respect to each Tax Period of the Company, the Excess NOL Tax Increase with respect to such Tax Period. The GM Investor shall pay the Excess NOL Tax Increase with respect to each such Tax Period no later than ten (10) Business Days following delivery of written notice by the Company to the GM Investor of the amount of Excess NOL Tax Increase for such Tax Period.
(ii) In addition to the payments described in Section 4.03(b)(i) above (and without duplication of such payments or any other payments required to be made by the GM Investor hereunder), the GM Investor shall make payments to the Company with respect to any R&D Tax Credits or Other Tax Credits generated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the same manner and using the same principles as described in Section 4.03(b)(i) and in the definitions of NOL Deficit Amount and Hypothetical Deconsolidated Company NOL Amount; provided, however, that in applying such principles, (A) clause (ii) of the definition of NOL Deficit Amount shall not apply and (B) in applying the Company standalone concept of the Hypothetical Deconsolidated Company NOL Amount, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be assumed to utilize the same tax accounting methods, elections, conventions, practices, policies and principles regarding the R&D Tax Credits or Other Tax Credits actually utilized by the GM Consolidated Group and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall otherwise be assumed to take into account the GM Consolidated Group’s history in its use of R&D Tax Credits or Other Tax Credits; provided, further, that no such payment with respect to Other Tax Credits will be required unless and until such Other Tax Credits generated by the Company and its Subsidiaries exceed, in the aggregate, taking into account any Other Tax Credits referenced in Section 4.03(e), $12,000,000 with respect to any calendar year.
(iii) The GM Investor and its advisors shall calculate the NOL Deficit Amount and the deficit amount in respect of R&D Tax Credits and Other Tax Credits upon a Deconsolidation and shall deliver such calculations, certified by the chief tax officer of GM Parent,
20

to the Company and, subject to Section 4.03(f), such calculations shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes. The Company shall calculate the Excess NOL Tax Increase and the tax increase in respect of R&D Tax Credits and Other Tax Credits in each Tax Period and shall deliver such calculations, certified by the chief tax officer of the Company, along with reasonably detailed supporting documentation, to the GM Investor and, subject to Section 4.03(f), such calculation shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes.
(c) Payment from the Company to the GM Investor for Inclusion of Company Income.
(i) Following the filing of the final GM Consolidated Return for each Tax Period prior to a Deconsolidation, the Company shall calculate the Aggregate Company Hypothetical Pre-Deconsolidation Tax Amount with respect to such Tax Period.
(ii) Following the filing of the final GM Consolidated Return for each Tax Period ending after the Original Closing Date, the GM Investor shall calculate the Incremental GM Tax Amount. The GM Investor shall deliver to the Company a certification by the chief tax officer of GM Parent with respect to such amount and such calculation shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes. No certification shall be required in any year in which the GM Investor has determined that the Incremental GM Tax Amount is zero.
(iii) With respect to each Tax Period of the GM Consolidated Group ending after the Original Closing Date, the Company shall make a payment to the GM Investor equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the lesser of (1) the Aggregate Company Hypothetical Pre-Deconsolidation Tax Amount with respect to such Tax Period and (2) the Incremental GM Tax Amount with respect to such Tax Period over (B) the aggregate net payment made by the Company to the GM Investor pursuant to this Section 4.03(c)(iii) and Section 4.03(c)(iv) for prior Tax Periods.
(iv) With respect to each Tax Period of the GM Consolidated Group ending after the Original Closing Date, the GM Investor shall make a payment to the Company equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the aggregate net payment made by the Company to the GM Investor pursuant to Section 4.03(c)(iii) and this Section 4.03(c)(iv) for prior Tax Periods over (B) the lesser of (1) the Aggregate Company Hypothetical Pre-Deconsolidation Tax Amount with respect to such Tax Period and (2) the Incremental GM Tax Amount with respect to such Tax Period;
(d) Payments between GM Investor and the Company if a Section 59(e) Election is Made. If prior to a Deconsolidation, GM makes one or more elections under Section 59(e) of the Code (a “Section 59(e) Election”) with respect to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, then:
(i) with respect to each Tax Period for which a Section 59(e) Election is made, and any subsequent Tax Period, any payment otherwise required to be made by the Company to the GM Investor pursuant to Section 4.03(c) shall be (A) reduced (but not below zero) by the Section 59(e) Detriment Amount with respect to such Tax Period and (B) shall be increased by the
21

Section 59(e) Benefit Amount with respect to such Tax Period; provided, any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.03(d)(i)(B) shall be deferred and shall only be made when and to the extent that, immediately prior to giving effect to such adjustment, the aggregate adjustments under Section 4.03(d)(i)(A) and Section 4.03(d)(ii)(A) exceed the aggregate adjustments under this Section 4.03(d)(i)(B) and Section 4.03(d)(ii)(B); and
(ii) with respect to each Tax Period for which a Section 59(e) Election is made, and any subsequent Tax Period, any payment otherwise required to be made by the GM Investor to the Company pursuant to Section 4.03(b) shall be (A) increased by the Section 59(e) Detriment Amount with respect to such Tax Period and shall be (B) reduced (but not below zero) by the Section 59(e) Benefit Amount with respect to such Tax Period; provided, any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.03(d)(ii)(B) shall be deferred and shall only be made when and to the extent that, immediately prior to giving effect to such adjustment, the aggregate adjustments under Section 4.03(d)(i)(A) and Section 4.03(d)(ii)(A) exceed the aggregate adjustments under Section 4.03(d)(i)(B) and this Section 4.03(d)(ii)(B).
For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of Sections 4.03(d)(i) and (ii) above, a required payment of $0 under Section 4.03(b) or Section 4.03(c) for any Tax Period constitutes a “payment otherwise required to be made”.
(e) State and Local Income and Franchise Taxes. With respect to state and local income and franchise tax benefits and detriments in any jurisdictions that have consolidated, combined or unitary tax regimes, the GM Investor and the Company shall have similar payment obligations to each other, under the same principles, as the payment obligations for U.S. federal income tax benefits and detriments described in paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 4.03; provided, that no such payment with respect to Other Tax Credits will be required unless and until such Other Tax Credits generated by the Company and its Subsidiaries exceed, in the aggregate, taking into account any Other Tax Credits referenced in Section 4.03(b)(ii), $12,000,000 with respect to any calendar year.
(f) Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute between the GM Investor and the Company as to any amount payable under this Section 4.03, the GM Investor and the Company shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute. If the GM Investor and the Company are unable to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days, they shall jointly retain a mutually agreed upon nationally recognized independent accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”) to resolve the dispute. The GM Investor and the Company may make written submissions to the Accounting Firm, and the Accounting Firm’s resolution shall be based solely upon the actual terms of this Agreement, the written submissions of the GM Investor and the Company, and the application of federal income tax law (or, in the case of any payment obligation Section 4.03(e), applicable state or local income tax law). Each of the GM Investor and the Company shall be bound by the determination of the Accounting Firm and shall bear one-half of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm.
22

(g) Indemnification for Taxes. Other than payments required under this Agreement, the GM Investor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and any of its Subsidiaries from any Taxes (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) imposed on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 (or any analogous or similar provision of U.S. state or local, or non-U.S. law) as a result of being a member of (i) the GM Consolidated Group or (ii) any other affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which (A) the GM Investor, (B) the GM Parent, (C) any Affiliate or direct or indirect Subsidiary of the GM Parent (other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) or (D) any member of the GM Consolidated Group (other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) was a member prior to a Deconsolidation.
(h) Net Payments. Without limiting any other provision in this Section 4.03, if as of any date each of the GM Investor and the Company is obligated to make a payment to the other under this Section 4.03, then the amount of such payments shall be netted, the offsetting amounts shall be treated as having been paid by the applicable payors for all purposes of this Section 4.03, and the party having the net payment obligation shall make such pay such net amount to the other party.
(i) Intended Tax Treatment. Any payments made by the GM Investor to the Company following a Deconsolidation pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall be treated as a Capital Contribution for all applicable tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable law. Any payments made by the Company to the GM Investor following a Deconsolidation pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall be treated as distribution under Section 301 of the Code for all applicable tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
(j) Examples. Any ambiguity in the provisions of this Section 4.03 shall be resolved (where possible) by reference to the examples delivered by the GM Investor and acknowledged by SoftBank and the Company pursuant to that certain letter provided to SoftBank UK prior to the execution of the SoftBank Purchase Agreement (and subsequently acknowledged and agreed to by SoftBank) and acknowledged by Honda pursuant to that certain letter provided to Honda prior to the execution of the Honda Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of a conflict with such letter, this Section 4.03 shall control.
(k) Consistent Reporting Covenant.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Class A-1 Preferred Shares are intended to be treated as common stock for all purposes of the Code (and not as preferred stock within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.305-5). Absent a relevant change in law or administrative, regulatory or judicial authority or guidance, unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code, neither the Company nor any of the Members shall report any Distribution with respect to the Class A-1 Preferred Shares that is paid by accretion of the Class A-1 Preferred Return on such Shares (in accordance with Section 3.01(c) hereof) as a taxable distribution pursuant to Section 305(b)(2) of
23

the Code or take any position inconsistent with the intended tax treatment described in this Section 4.03(k).

27

at the same time, and such participation shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

(B) any decision to engage or not to engage in any transaction or arrangement, or any proposed transaction or arrangement contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the Commercial Agreements (as the same may be amended from time to time in accordance with the provisions thereof), or which is otherwise on terms consistent with the Commercial Agreements; and

(C) the issuance of Equity Securities to the GM Investor or any of its Affiliates pursuant to Section 2.06;
(ii) without limiting the requirements of Section 6.13(b), in connection with any transaction or arrangement, or any proposed transaction or arrangement, between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and GM or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, (A) there will be no requirement for any non-Independent Director to approve such a transaction or for any independent or non-Board of Director review process, and (B) such transaction or arrangement and decision of the Board of Directors in connection therewith shall not be subject to any heightened standard of review or approval (including any review under an “entire fairness” standard); and

The Security Director shall not have, or be deemed to have, any duties or implied duties (other than as set forth in the preceding sentence and the NSA) to the Company or its Subsidiaries. Subject to the foregoing, in no event shall the Security Director have, or be deemed to have, any duties or implied duties (including fiduciary duties) to any Member or Person and the Security Director shall not be required to act in or consider the best interests of any Member or Person and any duties or implied duties (including fiduciary duties) of the Security Director to any Member or Person that would otherwise apply at law or in equity are hereby disclaimed and eliminated to the fullest extent permitted under the Act and any other applicable law, and each Member hereby disclaims and waives all rights to, and releases the Security Director from, any such duties.
(c) To the maximum extent permitted by law, no Member Group Person (other than any Director in their capacity as the same to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement) shall owe any fiduciary or similar duties or obligations to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Members or any Person, and any such duties (fiduciary or otherwise) of such Member Group Person are intended to be modified and limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or exist against any such Member Group Person. For purposes of clarification and the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 5.08 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall, nor shall it be deemed to, eliminate (i) the obligation of the Members to act in compliance with the express terms of this Agreement, any Transaction Document, any Commercial Agreement or any Honda Commercial Agreement, or (ii) the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing of the Members.
(d) In performing its, his or her duties, each of the Members, Directors and Officers shall be entitled to rely in good faith on the provisions of this Agreement and on information, opinions, reports or statements (including financial statements and information, opinions, reports

Each Member shall be liable only to make such Member’s Capital Contribution to the Company, if applicable, and the other payments provided for expressly herein, in each case, in accordance with the applicable terms of this Agreement and any Transaction Document (and, in the case of Honda, the Honda Purchase Agreement) to which it is a party.

5.12 Honda Minority Consent Right. Without Honda’s prior written consent, for so long as Honda owns the Honda Floor Amount, the Company shall not make any alteration or amendment or waiver to this Agreement that would have a material and disproportionate adverse effect on the terms of the Class E Common Shares; provided, that this Section 5.12 will not apply to any of the following: (i) the addition of Members to the Company or the issuance of Shares or other Equity Securities of the Company (whether of a new or an existing class), in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and any amendment(s) to this Agreement in connection with implementing such issuance or addition of such Member(s) (including the updating of the Members Schedule in connection therewith) or the granting of any rights to one or more Members
31

in connection with such issuance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) any amendment(s) to this Agreement in connection with the preparation for or consummation of an IPO that do not have a material and disproportionate effect on the terms of the Class E Common Shares (except as contemplated by Section 9.10) or (iii) to correct any typographical or similar ministerial errors. In determining whether an amendment has a material and disproportionate adverse effect on the terms of the Class E Common Shares, only the terms related thereto shall be considered, and any other relationship(s) the Class E Members may have with the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or the other Members shall not be considered and no characteristic of the Class E Members other than the terms of the Class E Common Shares shall be considered.
5.13 Class F Minority Consent Right. Without the prior written consent of a Majority of the Class F Preferred, the Company shall not make any alteration or amendment or waiver to this Agreement that would (a) have a material and disproportionate adverse effect on the terms of the Class F Preferred Shares, (b) alter the definitions of Class F Liquidation Preference Amount or Class F Preferred Capital Value, (c) alter the definitions of Deemed Liquidation Event, Sale of the Company or Drag-Along Sale Transaction in a manner that would adversely affect in any material respect the rights of the Class F Preferred Shares, or (d) result in the net proceeds or assets available for distribution upon a liquidation or Deemed Liquidation Event not being applied in accordance with Section 3.02 (as the same may be amended from time to time, pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof); provided, that this Section 5.13 will not apply to any of the following: (i) the addition of Members to the Company or the issuance of Shares or other Equity Securities of the Company (whether of a new or an existing class), in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and any amendment(s) to this Agreement in connection with implementing such issuance or addition of such Member(s) (including the updating of the Members Schedule in connection therewith) or the granting of any rights to one or more Members in connection with such issuance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) any amendment(s) to this Agreement in connection with the preparation for or consummation of an IPO that do not have a material and disproportionate effect on the terms of the Class F Preferred Shares (except as contemplated by Section 9.10) or (iii) to correct any typographical or similar ministerial errors.

6.02 Number of Directors. At the date of this Agreement, the Board of Directors shall consist of nine (9) Directors. The Board of Directors may, from time to time following the date of this Agreement, determine the size of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the Company shall notify the CFIUS Monitoring Agency concerning any such change to the size of the Board of Directors and the size of the Board of Directors shall not be decreased to less than six (6) Directors.
6.03 Board Designation Rights and Composition; Proxies.
(a) (i) The Class A-2 Preferred Members shall, by vote of a Majority of the Class A-2 Preferred, have the exclusive right to designate, appoint, remove and replace all Directors (including any Director vacancies created by virtue of an increase in the size of the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 6.02) other than the Security Director, the SoftBank Director (if applicable), and the Common Director (the “A-2 Preferred Directors”); provided, that if there are no Class A-2 Preferred Shares outstanding, the A-2 Preferred Directors will be appointed by a Majority of the Class C Common, (ii) the Members holding Common Shares and Class F Preferred Shares shall, by vote of a Majority of the Common Shares, have the exclusive right to designate, appoint, remove and replace one (1) Director (the “Common Director”), (iii) the Security Director shall be designated, appointed, removed, and replaced in accordance with the terms set forth in the NSA and in Section 6.03(e) and (iv) following the receipt of SoftBank CFIUS Approval and subject to Section 6.05 and the requirements set forth in the NSA, SoftBank shall have the exclusive right (exercisable by written notification to the Company and the GM Investor), for so long as SoftBank owns the SoftBank Floor Amount, to designate, appoint, remove and replace one (1) Director (the “SoftBank Director”). The initial A-2 Preferred Directors are such five (5) natural Persons as were notified in writing to the Company and SoftBank by GM and the initial Common Director is such one (1) natural Person as was notified in writing to the Company and SoftBank by GM. Subject to Section 6.03(e), if at any time any Director ceases to serve on the Board of Directors (whether due
33

to resignation, removal or otherwise), the Member(s) entitled to designate and appoint such Director pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall designate and appoint a replacement for such Director by written notice to the Board of Directors (it being further understood and agreed that the failure by any party to designate and appoint a representative to fill a vacant Director position pursuant to this Section 6.03(a) shall not give rights to, or otherwise entitle, the Board of Directors or any other Member (other than the Member(s) entitled to designate and appoint such Director pursuant to this Section 6.03(a), including the penultimate sentence hereof) to fill such vacant position without the prior written consent of the Member(s) originally entitled to designate and appoint such Director pursuant to this Section 6.03(a)). Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, only the Member(s) entitled to designate and appoint a specific Director may remove such Director, at any time and from time to time, with or without cause (subject to applicable law), in such Member(s) sole discretion, and such Member(s) shall give written notice of such removal to the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon such time as SoftBank owns less than the SoftBank Floor Amount, the SoftBank Director shall be immediately and automatically removed, and the right of SoftBank to designate, appoint, remove and replace a Director shall be null and void and, for clarity, Class A-2 Preferred Members shall, by vote of a Majority of the Class A-2 Preferred (or a Majority of the Class C Common, if no Class A-2 Preferred Shares are outstanding), have the exclusive right to fill such vacant Director position (and, thereafter, designate, appoint, remove and replace such Director). Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, this Section 6.03 is the exclusive means by which Directors may be removed or replaced.
(b) The GM Investor may elect any one (1) of the Directors to be the Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Chairman”). The Chairman, if any, may be removed from his or her position as Chairman at any time by the GM Investor. The Chairman, in his or her capacity as the Chairman, shall not have any of the rights or powers of an Officer. The Chairman shall preside at all meetings of the Board of Directors and at all meetings of the Members at which he or she shall be present. The Chairman may be the chief executive officer, or have another officer position, at GM (or any of its Affiliates) or the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries).
(c) To the extent permitted by law, each Member shall vote all voting securities of the Company over which such Member has voting control, and shall take all other necessary or desirable actions within such Member’s control (whether in such Member’s capacity as a Member, Director, member of a board committee or Officer of the Company or otherwise, and including attendance at meetings in person or by proxy for purposes of obtaining a quorum and execution of written consents in lieu of meetings), and the Company shall take all necessary and desirable actions within its control (including calling special Board of Directors or member meetings), so that the provisions of this Section 6.03 are promptly complied with and that the composition of the Board of Directors is consistent with the terms and conditions of this Section 6.03.
(d) Any A-2 Preferred Director or Common Director may authorize any other Director to act for such Director by proxy on any matter brought before the Board of Directors for a vote, which proxy may be granted orally or in writing by the applicable Director. Any such proxy
34

shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Director granting it, provided that such right to revocation shall not invalidate or otherwise affect actions taken under such proxy prior to such revocation.
(e)
(i) In accordance with the NSA, solely with respect to any vacancy for the Security Director position, the Board of Directors shall nominate a candidate for the Security Director position and the Company shall seek the consent of both SoftBank and GM concerning such candidate. Any candidate so nominated by the Board of Directors shall satisfy the requirements set forth in the NSA, unless exempted or otherwise approved by the CFIUS Monitoring Agency. Subject to the prior consent of both SoftBank and GM concerning such candidate, the Company shall notify the CFIUS Monitoring Agency concerning such candidate in accordance with the NSA, and shall seek any exemptions or other approvals to the extent such candidate fails to meet all of the requirements set forth in the NSA. Without prejudice to any other rights set forth in the NSA, subject to the approval by the CFIUS Monitoring Agency or the deemed approval by the CFIUS Monitoring Agency for failing to object within the deadline set forth in the NSA, concerning such candidate, and only after following the nomination process set forth above, the GM Investor shall be entitled to designate and appoint such candidate as the Security Director by written notice to the Board of Directors.
(ii) In accordance with the NSA, solely with respect to the removal of the Security Director, the Majority of the Members or the Board of Directors (including the Directors employed by Cruise) shall each be entitled to remove the Security Director, at any time and from time to time, with or without cause (subject to applicable law), in their respective sole discretion, and, in the case of the Majority of the Members, the GM Investor shall give written notice of such removal to the Board of Directors.
6.04 Board Observer. Following the receipt of SoftBank CFIUS Approval and subject to Section 6.05 and the requirements set forth in the NSA, SoftBank shall have the exclusive right, for so long as SoftBank owns the SoftBank Floor Amount, to designate one natural person to attend all meetings of the Board of Directors in a non-voting observer capacity (the “SoftBank Board Observer”). Following the receipt of Honda CFIUS Approval and subject to Section 6.05, Honda shall have the exclusive right, for so long as Honda owns the Honda Floor Amount, to designate one natural person to attend all meetings of the Board of Directors in a non-voting observer capacity (the “Honda Board Observer”, and together with the SoftBank Board Observer, the “Board Observers”). The following terms and conditions will apply to the Board Observers:
35

(a) The Company shall deliver to (i) the SoftBank Board Observer copies of all reports, notices, minutes, consents, actions taken or proposed to be taken without a meeting and other materials in each case (and to the extent) that the Company provides the same to the SoftBank Director, each such delivery to be made concurrently with the delivery of such materials to the SoftBank Director and (ii) the Honda Board Observer copies of all reports, notices, minutes, consents, actions taken or proposed to be taken without a meeting and other materials in each case (and to the extent) that the Company provides the same to the Board of Directors, subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 6.14, each such delivery to be made concurrently with the delivery of such materials to the Board of Directors; provided, that failure to deliver any such notice or materials to any Board Observer shall not impair the validity of any action taken by the Board of Directors;
(b) the Board Observers shall be entitled to attend all meetings of the Board of Directors in person or by telephone, and the Company shall ensure that appropriate arrangements are made such that the Board Observers will be able to hear everyone during any meeting of the Board of Directors at which the Board Observers participate by telephone; provided, that (i) the SoftBank Board Observer may be excluded from access to any portion of any meeting to the same extent as the SoftBank Director (or, in the event the SoftBank Director is not appointed, as if the SoftBank Director were so appointed) would be so excluded (or recused) pursuant to the terms hereof and (ii) the Honda Board Observer may be excluded from access to any portion of any meeting to the extent that matters with respect to which Honda Competitively Sensitive Information is shared, presented or discussed;
(c) the Board Observers shall be observers only, shall not be actual members of the Board of Directors and shall not have any of the rights, duties or obligations of a Director (including that the Board Observers shall not have the right to vote on any matter that may come before the Board of Directors). The Board Observers shall not count towards any quorum;
(d) subject to Section 6.04(f), SoftBank has the right to remove and replace or substitute the SoftBank Board Observer from time to time by providing written notice to the Company;
(e) subject to Section 6.04(g), Honda has the right to remove and replace or substitute the Honda Board Observer from time to time by providing written notice to the Company;
(f) upon such time as SoftBank owns less than the SoftBank Floor Amount, the SoftBank Board Observer shall be automatically removed and shall cease to have any of the rights contemplated by this Section 6.04, and the right of SoftBank to designate, appoint, remove and replace the SoftBank Board Observer shall be null and void;
(g) upon such time as Honda owns less than the Honda Floor Amount, the Honda Board Observer shall be automatically removed and shall cease to have any of the rights
36

contemplated by this Section 6.04, and the right of Honda to designate, appoint, remove and replace the Honda Board Observer shall be null and void; and
(h) prior to appointment, the Board Observers will each enter into a confidentiality agreement with the Company, on terms mutually acceptable to the Board of Directors and the Board Observers.
6.05 Director Appointee Screening. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by SoftBank and the GM Investor in the case of the SoftBank Director and SoftBank Board Observer, or Honda and the GM Investor in the case of the Honda Board Observer, each Person selected pursuant to Section 6.03(a) from time to time to serve as the SoftBank Director or a Board Observer (a) (i) in the case of the Softbank Director or Softbank Board Observer must be a U.S. citizen and (ii) in the case of the Honda Board Observer must be a U.S. or Japanese citizen; (b) (i) in the case of the SoftBank Director or SoftBank Board Observer, must not be (A) an employee, director (or board observer), manager, officer or consultant of any SoftBank Restricted Person or (B) a Person who has direct or indirect control, influence or management oversight of Persons who are employees, directors (or board observer), managers, officers or consultants of a SoftBank Restricted Person and (ii) in the case of the Honda Board Observer, must not be (A) an employee of or a consultant of Honda R&D Co., Ltd.

If any nominee for the position of SoftBank Director or either of the Board Observers is rejected by the Majority of the Class A-2 Preferred, such Person shall not be nominated or appointed as a Director or either Board Observer, as applicable. If, at any time following the appointment of any SoftBank Director or any Board Observer, the Majority of the Class A-2 Preferred believes that such SoftBank Director or Board Observer no longer satisfies the applicable criteria described in clauses (a) through (d) above, the Majority of the Class A-2 Preferred may deliver written notice thereof to the Majority of the Class A-1 Preferred in the case of the SoftBank Director or SoftBank Board Observer or Honda, in the case of the Honda Board Observer and the Board of Directors in any case. If, following reasonable consultation with SoftBank or Honda, as applicable, the Board of Directors determines that such criteria are not met, such SoftBank Director or Board Observer (as applicable) will be deemed automatically removed, without recourse, as a Director or Board Observer (as applicable) and SoftBank or Honda, as applicable, shall have the right to fill the resulting vacancy as contemplated by Section 6.03 and Section 6.04 but subject to this Section 6.05. If no Class A-2 Preferred Shares are outstanding, references in this Section 6.05 to a Majority of the Class A-2 Preferred will be deemed to be to a Majority of the Class C Common.
37

6.06 Tenure of Directors. Each Director shall hold office until the earliest of such Person’s death, resignation, removal or replacement (or, in the case of the SoftBank Director, such time as SoftBank owns less than the SoftBank Floor Amount).
6.07 Committees. The Board of Directors may establish one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the Directors. Each Director serving on any such committee shall have one (1) vote. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors, shall have and may exercise all the power and authority of the Board of Directors. The vote of a Majority of a Committee is required for any action or decision of a committee requiring the consent or approval of such committee, unless determined by the Board of Directors or the applicable committee (by vote of a Majority of a Committee). The procedures governing the meetings and actions of any committee shall be the same as those governing the Board of Directors pursuant to this Article VI (including quorum, voting, notice and other similar requirements), unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors or the applicable committee (by a vote of a Majority of a Committee).
6.08 Director Compensation. Except for any compensation approved by the Board of Directors for the Security Director, no Director shall be entitled to compensation for acting as a Director. However, the Company shall reimburse each Director for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses which such Director shall incur in connection with the performance of such Person’s duties as a Director. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to preclude any Director from serving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in any other capacity and receiving compensation for such service.
6.09 Director Resignation. Any Director may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Board of Directors and the secretary of the Company. The resignation of any Director shall take effect upon receipt of notice thereof or at such later time as shall be specified in such notice and, unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. In the event of an actual or planned resignation by the Security Director, the CFIUS Monitoring Agency shall be notified in accordance with the NSA.
6.10 Vacancies. When any Director shall resign or otherwise cease to serve as Director, such vacancy shall be filled in accordance with Section 6.03.

Minutes of any formal meeting of the Board of Directors shall be kept and placed in the Company’s records. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any action which may be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting if written consent(s)
38

setting forth the action so taken shall be signed by a Majority of the Board, such written consent(s) to be provided as promptly as reasonably practicable by the Company to the SoftBank Board Observer (only in the event that the SoftBank Director is not serving on the Board of Directors) and the Honda Board Observer. Meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held on the call of the Chairman, the Board of Directors or at the request of either the Majority of the Class A-2 Preferred or a Majority of the Class C Common upon at least three (3) Business Days written notice to the Directors and the SoftBank Board Observer (only in the event that the SoftBank Director is not serving on the Board of Directors) and the Honda Board Observer (or upon such shorter notice as may be approved by all of the Directors) and such notice shall include the place, day and hour of such meeting, it being acknowledged and agreed that whether such meeting is to be held by telephone communications or video conference shall be determined by the Chairman; provided, that the Board of Directors shall meet (whether in person or by any other means contemplated by Section 6.12) no less frequently than four (4) times per Fiscal Year (or less frequently as may be approved by all of the Directors). Meetings of the Directors or any committee designated by the Directors may be held without notice at any time that all Directors are present in person (each such meeting, an “Emergency Meeting”), and presence of any Director at a meeting constitutes waiver of notice of such meeting except as otherwise provided by law. Any resolutions passed at an Emergency Meeting shall be provided as promptly as reasonably practicable by the Company to the SoftBank Board Observer (only in the event that the SoftBank Director is not serving on the Board of Directors) and the Honda Board Observer.
6.12 Meetings by Telephone. Directors may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof by means of conference telephone, videoconference or similar communications equipment by which all Persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time. Such participation shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.
6.13 Quorum; Actions of Board of Directors; SoftBank Minority Consent Rights. A quorum at all meetings of the Directors shall consist of members of the Board of Directors constituting a Majority of the Board (present in person or by proxy), but a smaller number may adjourn any such meeting from time to time without further notice until a quorum is secured. The quorum for the holding of a meeting of a committee of the Board of Directors shall be a Majority of a Committee of such committee. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 6.16, each Director shall have one (1) vote on all matters submitted to the Board of Directors (whether the consideration of such matter is taken at a meeting, by written consent or otherwise). The vote of (or written consent signed by) a Majority of the Board shall be required for any action, decision or approval by the Board of Directors; provided, that for so long as SoftBank owns the SoftBank Floor Amount, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to, take any of the following actions without the approval of a Majority of the Board which majority shall include the vote in favor of the SoftBank Director, or by written consent signed by the Majority of the Board which shall also include the signature of the SoftBank Director:
39

(a) make any alteration or amendment or waiver to this Agreement or the organizational documents of any Subsidiary of the Company in a manner that is adverse to rights of the Class A-1 Preferred Shares; provided, that this Section 6.13(a) will not apply to any of the following: (i) the addition of Members to the Company or the issuance of Shares or other Equity Securities of the Company (whether of a new or an existing class), in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and any amendment(s) to this Agreement in connection with implementing such issuance or addition of such Member(s) (including the updating of the Members Schedule in connection therewith) or the granting of any rights to one or more Members in connection with such issuance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) any amendment(s) to this Agreement in connection with the preparation for or consummation of an IPO that do not adversely affect the Class A-1 Preferred Shares in a manner which is disproportionate to the other Shares (except as contemplated by Section 9.10) or (iii) to correct any typographical or similar ministerial errors. In determining whether an amendment adversely affects the rights of the Class A-1 Preferred Shares, only the rights related thereto shall be considered, and any other relationship(s) the Class A-1 Preferred Members may have with the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or the other Members shall not be considered and no characteristic of the Class A-1 Preferred Members other than the rights relating to the Class A-1 Preferred Shares shall be considered;
(b) without prejudice to Sections 5.08(b)(i)(B), 5.08(b)(i)(C) and 5.08(b)(ii), enter into any transaction, arrangement or agreement between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and GM or any of its Affiliates on the other hand, except in each case for any such transaction, arrangement or agreement, (i) on terms, as determined by the Board of Directors acting in good faith, that are no less favorable, in all material respects, than those the Company would agree to with any Person who is not GM or any of its Affiliates; provided, that for any such transaction, arrangement or agreement, the Board of Directors may (but shall not be obligated to) obtain (A) an opinion of an independent auditor or independent outside counsel that the requirements of subsection (i) have been satisfied or (B) approval of a majority of the Independent Directors (to the extent any are appointed), and such opinion or approval shall be conclusive evidence that the requirements of subsection (i) have been satisfied and shall be binding on the Members (it being understood that failure to obtain such opinion or approval shall not, in and of itself, be evidence that the requirements of subsection (i) have not been satisfied); (ii) contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the Commercial Agreements (as the same may be amended from time to time in accordance with the provisions thereof), or which is otherwise on terms consistent with the Commercial Agreements; or (iii) providing for the issuance of Equity Securities pursuant to Section 2.06;
(c) issue any Equity Securities that have rights, preferences or privileges with respect to Distributions, (i) senior to the rights of the Class A-1 Preferred Shares in Sections 3.01(b)(i) or 3.02(a)(i) or (ii) at any time prior to the first (1st) anniversary of Commercial Deployment, pari passu with the rights of the Class A-1 Preferred Shares in Sections 3.01(b)(i) or 3.02(a)(i) (the “Par Securities”); provided, that this subsection (ii) will not apply to (A) the Class F Preferred Shares issued to the Class F Preferred Members pursuant to the Class F Purchase Agreement and
40

(B) the first $1,000,000,000 of new Par Securities issued in addition to the Class F Preferred Shares (with such amount being calculated based on the consideration paid by the recipient(s) of such Par Securities); or
(d) consummate an IPO, prior to June 28, 2021, pursuant to which Class A-1 Preferred Members would receive Low-Vote IPO Shares that, at the time of the IPO, had (i) with respect to Class A-1-A Preferred Shares a per share market value less than the Class A-1-A Liquidation Preference Amount or (ii) with respect to Class A-1-B Preferred Shares a per share market value less than the Class A-1-B Liquidation Preference Amount (such aggregate shortfall for each Class A-1 Preferred Member, the “IPO Shortfall”); provided, that this Section 6.13(d) will not apply if:
(i) the Board of Directors, at or prior to the consummation of such an IPO (other than an IPO with no primary issuance or that constitutes a spin-off), causes the Company to make an irrevocable written commitment to each Class A-1 Preferred Member pursuant to which the Company will provide to such Class A-1 Preferred Member additional Low-Vote IPO Shares and/or cash equal to the aggregate IPO Shortfall that would be suffered by such Class A-1 Preferred Member; or
(ii) in the case of such an IPO with no primary issuance or that constitutes a spin-off, at or prior to the consummation of such IPO the IPO’d entity enters into a binding agreement providing that, if based on the thirty (30)-day variable weighted average share price of the IPO’d entity immediately following such IPO there exists an IPO Shortfall, such entity will issue to the former Class A-1 Preferred Members additional Low-Vote IPO Shares and/or cash equal to the aggregate IPO Shortfall.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time the SoftBank Director has not been appointed to the Board of Directors or there is otherwise a vacancy with respect to the SoftBank Director and, in each case, SoftBank continues to own the SoftBank Floor Amount, none of the foregoing actions in this Section 6.13 shall be taken without the approval of the Majority of the Class A-1 Preferred. For clarity, if the rights in this Section 6.13(a) through (d) are amended or cease to apply pursuant to Sections 2.02(c)(ii) or 2.02(d), such rights will also be amended or cease to apply (as applicable) with respect to the Majority of the Class A-1 Preferred (to the extent rights were granted pursuant to the prior sentence).
6.14 Competitively Sensitive Information.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (and subject further, and without prejudice, to Section 8.03), in the event that any written or oral materials that contain SoftBank Competitively Sensitive Information will be shared with or presented to the Board of Directors, the Company shall withhold any such materials such that the SoftBank Competitively Sensitive Information is only shared or discussed with, or presented for review only to, the A-2 Preferred Directors and the Common Director (and decisions relating thereto), and each other
41

Director (and the SoftBank Board Observer) shall recuse himself or herself from the portion(s) of the meeting at which any such matters are shared, presented or discussed; provided, that the Company will (a) only redact that portion of any written materials which constitutes SoftBank Competitively Sensitive Information, provide the redacted document to the recused Directors and permit the recused Directors to participate in such portion of any meeting or discussion that relates solely to the unredacted sections of such materials, and (b) inform each Director that SoftBank Competitively Sensitive Information will be shared with or presented to the Board of Directors at least one (1) Business Day in advance of such materials being shared or presented
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (and subject further, and without prejudice, to Section 8.03), in the event that any written or oral materials that contain Honda Competitively Sensitive Information will be shared with or presented to the Board of Directors, the Company shall withhold any such materials such that the Honda Competitively Sensitive Information is only shared or discussed with, or presented for review only to, the Directors (and decisions relating thereto) (provided, that, this Section 6.14(b) is without prejudice to Section 6.14(a)), and the Honda Board Observer shall recuse himself or herself from the portion(s) of the meeting at which any such matters are shared, presented or discussed; provided, that the Company will (a) only redact that portion of any written materials which constitutes Honda Competitively Sensitive Information, provide the redacted document to the recused Honda Board Observer and permit the recused Honda Board Observer to participate in such portion of any meeting or discussion that relates solely to the unredacted sections of such materials, and (b) inform each Director and the Honda Board Observer that Honda Competitively Sensitive Information will be shared with or presented to the Board of Directors at least one (1) Business Day in advance of such materials being shared or presented.

Any Officer may be removed, with or without cause, at any time by the Board of Directors.

The Class A-2 Preferred Members, by vote of a Majority of the Class A-2 Preferred (or, if there are no Class A-2 Preferred Shares outstanding, the Class C Members, by vote of a Majority of the Class C Common), shall have the right to, upon written notice to the Company, designate up to two (2) of the A-2 Preferred Directors to have enhanced voting rights as Directors. Any A-2 Preferred Director so designated shall have two (2) votes on all matters submitted to the Board of Directors (whether the consideration of such matter is taken at a meeting, by written consent or otherwise). The Class A-2 Preferred Members, by vote of a Majority of the Class A-2 Preferred (or, if there are no Class A-2 Preferred Shares outstanding, the Class C Members, by vote of a Majority of the Class C Common), may, at any time upon written notice to the Company, designate an alternate A-2 Preferred Director to have the enhanced voting rights under this Section 6.16.

7.01 Exculpation. No Officer shall be liable to any other Officer, the Company or any Member for any loss suffered by the Company or any Member; provided, that subject to the other limitations contained in this Agreement, this sentence shall not apply with respect to losses caused by such Person’s fraud, gross negligence, intentional misconduct or intentional breach of this Agreement or breach of any duty owed to the Company or to any other Member. Without limiting the foregoing, the Officers shall not be liable for any acts or omissions that do not constitute fraud, gross negligence, intentional misconduct or intentional breach of this Agreement or breach of any duty owed to the Company or to any other Member. No Director shall be liable to any other Director, the Company or any Member for any loss suffered by the Company or any Member to the maximum extent permitted pursuant to the DGCL (as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but in the case of any amendment, only to the extent such amendment permits the Company to provide broader exculpation than the Company was permitted to provide prior to such amendment)) with respect to directors of corporations (assuming such corporation had in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating the liabilities of directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL).
7.02 Indemnification.
(a) Subject to the limitations and conditions as provided in this Article VII, each Covered Person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, claim, dispute, litigation, complaint, charge, claim, grievance, hearing, audit, arbitration, or mediation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or arbitrative, at law or at equity, or any appeal therefrom, or any inquiry, or investigation that could lead to any of the foregoing (each of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he, she or it, or a Person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a Member (in the case of a Member for all purposes of this Section 7.02, solely by reason of such Member’s status as a Member and not with respect to any actions taken, or the failure to take an action, by such Person as a Member) or other Covered Person, shall be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by the Act or, in the case of Directors, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL for a director of a Delaware corporation (assuming such corporation had in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating the liabilities of directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL), as (in the case of each of the DGCL and the Act) the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment) against judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes and punitive damages), fines, settlements and reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or any other amounts incurred by such Person in connection with such Proceeding, and indemnification under this Article VII shall continue as to a Covered Person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled

9.01 Limitations on Transfer.
(a)

(iii) Prior to the Class F Trigger Date, no Class F Preferred Shares or any other Equity Securities held by Class F New Members or any of their respective Affiliates, and no Class F Preferred Shares held by Honda, SoftBank or any of their respective Affiliates, may be Transferred or offered to be Transferred without the prior approval of each of the GM Investor and the Board of Directors and any such Transfer or offer to Transfer such Shares, other Equity Securities or interests therein or rights relating thereto shall be null and void ab initio and of no effect whatsoever.
(iv) Sections 9.01(a)(i), 9.01(a)(ii) and 9.01(a)(iii) (A) will not apply to any Transfer pursuant to Sections 2.02(c), 2.10, 9.02, 9.07, 9.08, 9.09, 9.10 or 9.12 (such Transfer, an “Excluded Transfer”) and (B) will cease to apply upon consummation of an IPO. For clarity, except as set forth in Section 9.01(b) (and notwithstanding Sections 9.01(a)(iii) and 9.01(a)(v)), no Class A-2 Preferred Member, Class C Member or the GM Investor or its Affiliates with respect to its or their respective Class F Preferred Shares is subject to any restrictions on Transfer of its Class A-2 Preferred Shares, Class C Common Shares or Class F Preferred Shares.
(v) From and after the SoftBank Trigger Date, the limitations on Transfer set forth in Sections 9.01(a)(i) will cease to apply; provided, that following the SoftBank Trigger Date and prior to the consummation of an IPO no Transfer of Class A-1 Preferred Shares, Class D Common Shares, or any other Equity Securities held by SoftBank or any of its Affiliates (other than any Class F Preferred Shares held by SoftBank or any of its Affiliates) will be permitted unless the holder of such Shares shall have first complied with the provisions of Section 9.01(a)(vi). From and after the Honda Trigger Date, the limitations on Transfer set forth in Section 9.01(a)(ii) will cease to apply; provided, that following the Honda Trigger Date, and prior to the consummation of
48

an IPO no Transfer of Class E Common Shares or any other Equity Securities (other than Class F Preferred Shares) held by Honda or any of its Affiliates will be permitted unless the holder of such Shares shall have first complied with the provisions of Section 9.01(a)(vi). From and after the Class F Trigger Date, the limitations on Transfer set forth in Section 9.01(a)(iii) will cease to apply; provided, that following the Class F Trigger Date, and prior to the consummation of an IPO no Transfer of Class F Preferred Shares or any other Equity Securities held by a Class F New Member, or any Class F Preferred Shares held by SoftBank, Honda or any of their respective Affiliates, will be permitted unless the holder of such Shares shall have first complied with the provisions of Section 9.01(a)(vi). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including the expiration of the limitations on Transfer set forth in Sections 9.01(a)(i), 9.01(a)(ii) and 9.01(a)(iii) from and after the SoftBank Trigger Date, the Honda Trigger Date or the Class F Trigger Date, as applicable, but prior to the consummation of the IPO), at no time may (a) Class A-1 Preferred Shares, Class D Common Shares or any other Equity Securities held by SoftBank or any of its Affiliates (other than any Class F Preferred Shares held by SoftBank or any of its Affiliates), be Transferred to a SoftBank Restricted Person without the prior written approval of each of the GM Investor and the Board of Directors, (b) Class E Common Shares or any other Equity Securities (including Class F Preferred Shares) held by Honda or any of its Affiliates, be Transferred to a Honda Restricted Person without the prior written approval of each of the GM Investor and the Board of Directors or (c) Class F Preferred Shares or any other Equity Securities held by a Class F New Member, or any Class F Preferred Shares held by SoftBank or any of its Affiliates, be Transferred to a Class F Preferred Member Restricted Person without the prior written approval of each of the GM Investor and the Board of Directors.
(vi) At least fifteen (15) days (or such shorter period as may be consented to by the Board of Directors) prior to entering into any definitive agreement (a “Binding Transaction Agreement”) providing for, or entered into in connection with, a proposed Transfer (other than an Excluded Transfer) of (A) Class A-1 Preferred Shares, Class D Common Shares or any other Equity Securities held by SoftBank or any of its Affiliates (other than any Class F Preferred Shares held by SoftBank or any of its Affiliates), in each case from and after the SoftBank Trigger Date, (B) Class E Common Shares or any other Equity Securities (other than Class F Preferred Shares) held by Honda or any of their Affiliates from and after the Honda Trigger Date, or (C) Class F Preferred Shares or any other Equity Securities held by Class F New Members or their Affiliates or Class F Preferred Shares held by SoftBank, Honda or their respective Affiliates, in each case from and after the Class F Trigger Date, such Member proposing to make such a Transfer (the “Transferor”) shall deliver a written notice (the “ROFR Notice”) to the Board of Directors and the GM Investor, specifying in reasonable detail the identity of the prospective transferee(s), the number and class of Shares or other Equity Securities proposed to be Transferred (the “ROFR Offered Shares”) and the price and other terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer. No Transferor shall enter into a Binding Transaction Agreement or consummate such proposed Transfer before the GM ROFR Date (or such shorter period as consented to by the Board of Directors). Following receipt of the ROFR Notice, the GM Investor may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the ROFR Offered Shares at the price set forth in the ROFR Notice and otherwise on Equivalent Terms, by delivering (or one
49

of its Affiliates delivering) written notice (a “GM ROFR Notice”) of such election to the relevant Transferor(s) within ten (10) days after delivery of the ROFR Notice (such 10th day, the “GM ROFR Date”). If the GM Investor (or one of its Affiliates) does not deliver a GM ROFR Notice electing to purchase all of the ROFR Offered Shares at the price set forth in the ROFR Notice and otherwise on Equivalent Terms on or prior to the GM ROFR Date, then the applicable Transferor(s) may sell all, but not less than all, of the ROFR Offered Shares to the Person identified in the ROFR Notice for a per Share amount equal to or greater than, and on other terms no less favorable to Transferor than, the price and other terms set forth in the ROFR Notice, in each case within one hundred twenty (120) days following the GM ROFR Date. Any ROFR Offered Shares not Transferred within such one hundred twenty (120)-day period shall again be subject to the provisions of this Section 9.01(a)(vi) prior to any subsequent Transfer. If the GM Investor has elected to purchase the ROFR Offered Shares in accordance with this Section 9.01(a)(vi), then such purchase shall be consummated as soon as practicable after the delivery of the GM ROFR Notice to the Transferor(s), but in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days after the delivery of such GM ROFR Notice. If the consideration proposed to be paid for the ROFR Offered Shares in the ROFR Notice is in property, services or other non-cash consideration, then the fair market value of such non-cash consideration shall be equal to the Fair Market Value thereof. The GM Investor shall pay the cash equivalent of such Fair Market Value of any such property, services or other non-cash consideration proposed to be paid in the ROFR Notice.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, no Transfer of Shares may be made unless, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, satisfactory in form and substance to the Board of Directors (which opinion requirement, or one or more components thereof, may be waived, in whole or in part by the Board of Directors), such Transfer would not result in (i) a violation of any applicable United States federal or state securities laws, (ii) unless waived by the Board of Directors, the Company being required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or any other federal or state securities laws or (iii) other than pursuant to Section 9.10, the Company being required to register under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a condition to the Company recognizing the effectiveness of any Transfer of Shares, the Board of Directors may require the transferor and/or transferee, as the case may be, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company such instruments of transfer, assignment and assumption and such other certificates, representations and documents, and to perform all such other acts, which the Board of Directors may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to (A) verify the Transfer, (B) confirm that the proposed transferee has accepted, assumed and agreed to be subject and bound by all of the terms, obligations and conditions of this Agreement (whether or not such Person is to be admitted as a new Member) and (C) assure compliance with applicable state and federal laws, including securities laws and regulations. For the purposes of this Article IX, any transfer, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or other direct or indirect disposition of shares or other interests of any Person which is an entity and a substantial portion of the assets of which are, directly or indirectly, Shares or other Equity Securities, or which is intentionally designed to, or has the effect of, circumventing the intention of the Transfer restrictions in this Agreement, shall be deemed to be a Transfer of Shares or Equity Securities (as
50

applicable). Each Member as to which the immediately preceding sentence applies shall cause its direct and indirect interest holders to comply with the provisions of this Article IX.
(c) No Transfer of Class A-1 Preferred Shares may be consummated (and any process pursuant to Section 9.01(a)(vi) shall be suspended if a Call Notice is delivered pursuant to Section 9.12) until such time as the Class A-1/D Purchase pursuant to such Call Notice has been consummated.
(d) Until such time as SoftBank has paid, in full, the Subsequent SoftBank Commitment pursuant to Section 2.02(c), SoftBank (i) shall not make any Transfer if the effect of such Transfer would be that SoftBank ceases to be a Member hereunder and (ii) shall ensure that it has uncalled capital commitments sufficient to pay the Subsequent SoftBank Commitment in full.
9.02 Permitted Transfers.
(a) Notwithstanding Section 9.01(a), Class A-1 Preferred Shares, Class D Common Shares, Class B Common Shares, Class E Common Shares and Class F Preferred Shares may be Transferred by the holder thereof without obtaining the approval of the Board of Directors or the GM Investor: (i) in the case of an Employee Member, to a member of the Family Group of the Person to whom such Shares were originally issued (a Transfer pursuant to this clause (i), an “Exempt Employee Member Transfer”), (ii) in the case of a Class A-1 Preferred Member, Class D Member or Class F Preferred Shares held by SoftBank or its Affiliates, to an Affiliate (other than SoftBank Group Corp. or its Subsidiaries) of such Member that (A) is owned and controlled, directly or indirectly, by such Class A-1 Preferred Member or such Class D Member, and (B)(1) with respect to Shares (other than any Class F Preferred Shares) is not a SoftBank Restricted Person and (2) with respect to Class F Preferred Shares, is not a Class F Preferred Member Restricted Person (a Transfer pursuant to this clause (ii), an “Exempt SoftBank Transfer”), (iii) in the case of a Class E Member or Class F Preferred Shares held by Honda or its Affiliates, (A) to an Affiliate that is not a Honda Restricted Person or (B) subject to compliance with Section 9.01(a)(v), following the consummation of an OEM Restricted Investment, to a Person that is not a Honda Restricted Person (a Transfer pursuant to this clause (iii), an “Exempt Honda Transfer”); provided, that any Transfer by the Class E Member must be a Transfer of all of such Class E Member’s Equity Securities in the Company, or (iv) in the case of a Class F New Member, to an Affiliate of such Class F New Member that is not a Class F Preferred Member Restricted Person (an “Exempt Class F Transfer”). If a Permitted Transferee ceases to meet the criteria set forth in (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence (as applicable), such Permitted Transferee shall re-transfer (within ten (10) Business Days) the Shares Transferred to such Permitted Transferee to the original transferor (in the case of an Exempt SoftBank Transfer, an Exempt Honda Transfer or an Exempt Class F Transfer) or to another member of the Family Group of such transferring Person (in the case of an Exempt Employee Member Transfer) and, pending the completion of such re-transfer, such Permitted Transferee shall not have any rights under this Agreement in respect of such Shares held by him, her or it.
51

(b) As used herein, a “Permitted Transferee” shall constitute any Person, other than the Company, to whom Shares are Transferred pursuant to this Section 9.02.
9.03 Assignee’s Rights and Obligations.
(a) A Transfer of a Share permitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be effective as of the date of assignment and compliance with the conditions to such Transfer, and such Transfer shall be shown on the books and records of the Company. Prior to the date that the Transfer is consummated and the transferee becomes a Member hereunder, such proposed transferee shall be referred to herein as an “Assignee”. Distributions made before the effective date of such Transfer, shall be paid to the transferor, and Distributions made after such date shall be paid to the Assignee.
(b) Unless and until an Assignee becomes a Member pursuant to this Article IX, the Assignee shall not be entitled to any of the rights granted to a Member hereunder or under applicable law, other than the rights granted specifically to Assignees pursuant to this Agreement and rights granted to Assignees pursuant to the Act. Further, such Assignee shall be bound by any limitations and obligations contained herein with respect to Members.
(c) Any Member who shall Transfer any Shares or other interest in the Company shall cease to be a Member with respect to such Shares or other interest and shall no longer have any rights or privileges of a Member with respect to such Shares or other interest, except that, unless and until the Assignee is admitted as a Substituted Member in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.04 (the “Admission Date”), (i) such assigning Member shall retain all of the duties, liabilities and obligations of a Member with respect to such Shares or other interest and (ii) the Board of Directors may reinstate all or any portion of the rights and privileges of such Member with respect to such Shares or other interest for any period of time prior to the Admission Date. Nothing contained herein shall relieve any Member who Transfers any Shares or other interest in the Company from any liability of such Member to the Company or the other Members with respect to such Shares or other interest that may exist on the Admission Date or that is otherwise specified in the Act and incorporated into this Agreement or for any liability to the Company or any other Person for any breaches of any representations, warranties or covenants by such Member (in its capacity as such) contained herein or in the other agreements with the Company.
(d) For clarity (and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein), the respective rights of SoftBank and Honda hereunder are personal to SoftBank and Honda, as applicable, (for so long as SoftBank or Honda, as applicable, is a Member), do not attach to the Class A-1 Preferred Shares or Class E Common Shares, or any other class of Shares or Equity Securities, and cannot be assigned by SoftBank or Honda to any other Person, except in connection with an Exempt SoftBank Transfer or an Exempt Honda Transfer pursuant to Section 9.02(a)(iii)(A) (but not, for clarity, Section 9.02(a)(iii)(B)).
52

9.04 Admission of Members.
(a) In connection with the Transfer of a Share of a Member permitted under the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall not become a Member (a “Substituted Member”) until the later of (i) the effective date of such Transfer and (ii) the date on which the Board of Directors approves such transferee as a Substituted Member (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and such admission shall be shown on the books and records of the Company
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, a Person may be admitted to the Company as a Member by the Board of Directors (an “Additional Member”). Such admission shall become effective on the date on which such admission is shown on the books and records of the Company.
9.05 Certain Requirements of Prospective Members. As a condition to admission to the Company as a Member, each Assignee and Additional Member shall execute and deliver a joinder to this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I or otherwise acceptable to the Board of Directors.
9.06 Status of Transferred Shares. Shares that are Transferred shall thereafter continue to be subject to all restrictions and obligations imposed by this Agreement with respect to Shares and Transfers thereof.
9.07 Tag-Along Rights.
(a) If any Class A-2 Member, Class C Member or the GM Investor or its Affiliates in their capacity as a Class F Preferred Member (the “Transferring Holder”) proposes to Transfer Class A-2 Preferred Shares, Class C Common Shares or Class F Preferred Shares (or any other Equity Securities held by such Member) to an Independent Third Party prior to an IPO (other than any Transfer (i) as provided in Section 9.08, (ii) as provided in Section 9.09, (iii) in connection with Section 9.10 or (iv) as provided in Section 9.12), then the Transferring Holder(s) shall deliver a written notice (such notice, the “Tag Notice”) to the Company, each Class D Member, each Class A-1 Preferred Member, each Class E Member and each Class F Preferred Member (the “Participation Members,” provided that, for clarity, such Transferring Holder will not be a Participation Member in its capacity as a Class F Preferred Member, notwithstanding that such Transferring Holder may hold Class F Preferred Shares) at least thirty (30) days prior to making such Transfer, specifying in reasonable detail the identity of the prospective transferee(s), the number of Class A-2 Preferred Shares or Class C Common Shares (or any other Equity Securities held by such Members) to be Transferred and the price and other terms and conditions of the Transfer. Each Participation Member may elect to participate in the contemplated Transfer in the manner set forth in this Section 9.07 by delivering an irrevocable written notice to the Transferring Holder(s) within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Tag Notice, which notice shall specify the number of Class A-1 Preferred Shares, Class D Common Shares, Class E Common Shares and Class F Preferred Shares
53

(or any other Equity Securities held by such Members) that such Participation Member desires to include in such proposed Transfer. If none of the Participation Members gives such notice prior to the expiration of the fifteen (15) day period for giving such notice, then the Transferring Holder(s) may Transfer such Class A-2 Preferred Shares or Class C Common Shares (or any other Equity Securities held by such Members) to any Person at the same price and on other terms and conditions that are no more favorable, in the aggregate, to the Transferring Holder(s) than those set forth in the Tag Notice. If any Participation Members have irrevocably elected to participate in such Transfer prior to the expiration of the fifteen (15) day period for giving notice, each Participation Member shall be entitled to sell in the contemplated Transfer a total number of Class A-1 Preferred Shares with respect to Class A-1 Preferred Members, Class D Common Shares with respect to Class D Members, Class E Common Shares with respect to Class E Members, Class F Preferred Shares with respect to Class F Preferred Members (the “Tagged Shares”) to be sold in the Transfer, to be calculated according to the following methodology:
(i) First, all Non-A-1 Interests owned by the Transferring Holder are deemed converted (on a Fully Diluted Basis) to Class D Common Shares on a 1:1 basis (as adjusted, as necessary, to reflect appropriate and proportional adjustments to take into account any subdivision, reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares or similar event), all Class A-1 Preferred Shares held by all Participation Member(s) are deemed converted to Class D Common Shares pursuant to Section 2.10(b), all Class E Common Shares held by all Participation Member(s) are deemed converted to Class D Common Shares on a 1:1 basis (as adjusted, as necessary, to reflect appropriate and proportional adjustments to take into account any subdivision, reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares or similar event) and all Class F Preferred Shares held by all Participation Member(s) are deemed converted to Class D Common Shares at the Class F Preferred Share Conversion Ratio (collectively the number of Class D Common Shares resulting from the deemed conversion, plus the number of Class D Common Shares held by the Participation Members prior to such deemed conversion, the “Total Conversion Shares”). For clarity, such “deemed” conversion pursuant to this Section 9.07(a) shall solely be for the purposes of calculating the Tagged Shares, and no actual conversion shall occur pursuant to this Section 9.07(a).
(ii) Second, the total number of Shares that are subject to Transfer is determined (the “Total Tagged Shares”).
(iii) Third, the Tagged Shares will be:
(A) a number of Class A-1-A Preferred Shares equal to: (1) Total Tagged Shares multiplied by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the number of Class D Common Shares into which the Class A-1-A Preferred Shares of such Participation Member were deemed converted pursuant to subsection (i) above, and (y) the denominator of which is the Total Conversion Shares divided by, (2) the A-1-A Preferred Share Conversion Ratio;
54

(B) a number of Class A-1-B Preferred Shares equal to: (1) Total Tagged Shares multiplied by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the number of Class D Common Shares into which the Class A-1-B Preferred Shares of such Participation Member were deemed converted pursuant to subsection (i) above, and (y) the denominator of which is the Total Conversion Shares divided by, (2) A-1-B Preferred Share Conversion Ratio;
(C) a number of Class D Common Shares equal to: Total Tagged Shares multiplied by a fraction, (1) the numerator of which is the number of Class D Common Shares held by such Participation Member prior to the deemed conversion pursuant to subsection (i) above, and (2) the denominator of which is the Total Conversion Shares;
(D) a number of Class E Common Shares equal to: Total Tagged Shares multiplied by a fraction, (1) the numerator of which is the number of Class E Common Shares held by such Participation Member prior to the deemed conversion pursuant to subsection (i) above, and (2) the denominator of which is the Total Conversion Shares; and
(E) a number of Class F Preferred Shares equal to: Total Tagged Shares multiplied by a fraction, (1) the numerator of which is the number of Class F Preferred Shares held by such Participation Member prior to the deemed conversion pursuant to subsection (i) above, and (2) the denominator of which is the Total Conversion Shares.
(b) Immediately prior to the consummation of the Transfer to the Independent Third Party, the Tagged Shares (other than Class E Common Shares and Class F Preferred Shares) will be automatically, and without any further action, be actually converted into Class D Common Shares pursuant to Section 2.10(b). The Transferring Holder(s) and each participating Participation Member shall receive the same form of consideration and the aggregate net consideration (after such aggregate net consideration is adjusted for Company expenses, purchase price adjustments, escrow amounts, purchase price holdbacks, indemnity obligations and other similar items) shall be divided ratably among the Transferring Holder and each participating Participation Member based upon their respective numbers of Shares included in the Transfer.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.07, the Transferring Holder(s) shall not consummate the Transfer contemplated by the Tag Notice at a higher price or on other terms and conditions more favorable to them, in the aggregate, than the terms set forth in the Tag Notice (including as to price per Class A-1 Preferred Share or form of consideration to be received) unless the Transferring Holder(s) shall first have delivered a second notice setting forth such more favorable terms (the “Amended Tag Notice”) to each Participation Member who had not elected to participate in the contemplated Transfer. Each Participation Member receiving an Amended Tag Notice may elect to participate in the contemplated Transfer on such amended terms by delivering written notice to the Transferring Holder(s) not later than ten (10) Business Days after delivery of the Amended Tag Notice.
55

(d) Each Participation Member shall pay his, her or its own costs of any sale and a pro rata share (based upon the reduction in proceeds that would have been allocated to such Member if the amount of such expense were not included in the aggregate consideration) of the expenses incurred by the Members (to the extent such costs are incurred for the benefit of all of such Members and are not otherwise paid by the Transferee) and the Company in connection with such Transfer and shall be obligated to provide the same customary representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, indemnities and other obligations that the Transferring Holder(s) agrees to provide in connection with such Transfer; provided, that in no event will a Participation Member be required to enter into a non-competition agreement or be subject to any similar covenant or provision. Except as contemplated by the preceding sentence, each Participation Member shall execute and deliver all documents required to be executed in connection with such tag-along sale transaction.
(e) Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Section 9.07, the Transferring Holder(s) shall decide whether or not to pursue, consummate, postpone or abandon any Transfer and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9.07, the terms and conditions thereof. None of the Transferring Holder(s) nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to any Member arising from, relating to or in connection with the pursuit, consummation, postponement, abandonment or terms and conditions of any such Transfer except to the extent the Transferring Holder(s) shall have failed to comply with any of the other provisions of this Section 9.07.
9.08 Sale of the Company.
(a) Provided that a Drag-Along Notice has not been delivered and the procedures in Section 9.09 are not then currently in effect, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Board of Directors may (subject to Section 5.11) elect to cause a Sale of the Company at any time. The Board of Directors shall direct and control all decisions in connection with a Sale of the Company (including the hiring or termination of any investment bank or professional adviser and making all decisions regarding valuation and consideration and the percentage of the Equity Securities in the Company to be sold) and, subject to Section 9.08(b) and Section 9.08(d), and without prejudice to Section 5.11, each Member shall vote for, consent to and not object to such Sale of the Company or the sale process associated therewith. If such Sale of the Company is structured as a sale of assets, merger or consolidation, then each Member shall, to the extent applicable to such transaction, vote for or consent to, and waive any dissenter’s rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with, such sale, merger or consolidation. If such Sale of the Company is structured as a Transfer of Shares, and the Sale of the Company involves less than all of the Shares in the Company, then each Member shall Transfer the same percentage of each class or series of Shares (or rights to acquire Shares of any class or series) that it holds. Each Member and the Company shall take all reasonable and necessary actions in connection with the consummation of such Sale of the Company as may be requested by the Board of Directors, including (i) in the case of the Company only, engaging one or more investment banks and legal counsel
56

selected by the Board of Directors to establish procedures acceptable to the Board of Directors to effect and to otherwise assist in connection with a Sale of the Company, (ii) taking such commercially reasonable actions and providing such commercially reasonable cooperation and assistance as may be necessary to consummate the Sale of the Company in an expeditious and efficient manner and not taking any action or engaging in any activity designed to hinder, prevent or delay the consummation of the Sale of the Company, (iii) in the case of the Company only, facilitating the due diligence process in respect of any such Sale of the Company, including establishing, populating and maintaining an online “data room”, (iv) in the case of the Company only, providing any financial or other information or audit required by the proposed buyer’s financing sources and (v) the execution of such agreements and such instruments and other actions reasonably necessary in connection with the Sale of the Company, including to provide customary representations, warranties, indemnities and escrow arrangements relating thereto, in each case in accordance with and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.08(d).
(b) The obligations of the Members with respect to a Sale of the Company are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) upon the consummation of such Sale of the Company, each holder of Shares, to the extent such holder is receiving any consideration, shall receive the same form(s) of consideration as each other holder of Shares receives (or the option to receive the same form of consideration), and (ii) the Sale of the Company will be a Deemed Liquidation Event and the aggregate consideration payable upon consummation of such Sale of the Company to all holders of Shares in respect of their Shares shall be apportioned and distributed (after such aggregate consideration is adjusted for Company expenses, purchase price adjustments, escrow amounts, purchase price holdbacks, indemnity obligations and other similar items) as between the classes of Shares in accordance with the relevant provisions of Section 3.02 (assuming that, if such Sale of the Company is structured as a Transfer of Shares and less than all of the Shares are being Transferred, the Shares included in the Transfer are all of the Shares outstanding). For clarity, the application of Section 3.02 may result in some Shares included in the Transfer not receiving any consideration with respect to such Sale of the Company.
(c) If the Company, or if the holders of any Shares, enter into any negotiation or transaction for which Rule 506 (or any similar rule then in effect) promulgated by the SEC may be available with respect to such negotiation or transaction (including a merger, consolidation, or other reorganization), each holder of Equity Securities will, at the request of the Company, appoint either a purchaser representative (as such term is defined in Rule 501) designated by the Company, in which event the Company will pay the fees of such purchaser representative, or another purchaser representative (reasonably acceptable to the Company), in which event such holder will be responsible for the fees of the purchaser representative so appointed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in connection with any Sale of the Company where the consideration in such Sale of the Company consists of or includes securities, if the issuance of such securities to the Member would require either a registration statement under the Securities Act, or preparation of a disclosure statement pursuant to Regulation D (or any successor regulation) under the Securities Act, or preparation of a disclosure document under a similar provision of any state securities law, and such
57

registration statement or disclosure statement or other disclosure document is not otherwise being prepared in connection with the Sale of the Company, then, at the option of the Board of Directors, the Member may receive, in lieu of such securities, the Fair Market Value of such securities in cash.
(d) In connection with any Sale of the Company, each Member shall (i) make such customary representations and warranties, including, as applicable, as to due organization and good standing, power and authority, due approval, no conflicts and ownership and title of Shares (including the absence of liens with respect to such Shares) and no litigation pending or threatened against or affecting such Member relating to its ownership of Shares, agree to such covenants and enter into such definitive agreements, in each case as are customary for transactions of the nature of the Sale of the Company; provided, that no Member shall be required to make any representation or warranty or agree to any covenant that is more extensive or burdensome than those made by the other Members (provided, that (A) in no event will the GM Investor or any of its Affiliates, SoftBank or any of its Affiliates, Honda or any of its Affiliates or any Class F New Member or any of its Affiliates be required to enter into a non-competition agreement or be subject to any similar covenant or provision and (B) the Employee Members may be required to enter into certain covenants, including non-compete and non-solicit obligations) and (ii) be obligated to join on a several, and not joint, basis (determined in accordance with such Member’s proportionate share of the proceeds from the Sale of the Company) in any indemnification or other obligations that are part of the terms and conditions of the Sale of the Company (other than to the extent of any escrows or holdbacks established in connection with such Sale of the Company); provided, that no Member shall be obligated (A) to provide indemnification with respect to the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of any other Member (other than to the extent of any escrows or holdbacks established in connection with such Sale of the Company), or (B) to incur liability to any Person in connection with such Sale of the Company, including under any indemnity, in excess of the consideration received by such Person in the Sale of the Company (other than for fraud or breach of a covenant).
(e) Each Member will bear his, her or its proportionate share of the costs incurred in connection with a Sale of the Company to the extent such costs are incurred for the benefit of all such holders of Shares and are not otherwise paid by the Company or the acquiring party. Costs incurred by the holders of Shares on their own behalf will not be considered costs of the Sale of the Company.
(f) Any contingent consideration (whether as a result of a release of an escrow or the payment of an “earn out” or otherwise) to be paid in connection with a Sale of the Company shall be allocated among the Members such that each Member receives the amount which such Member would have received if such consideration had been received by the Company and distributed as the next incremental dollars following the Distribution of any amounts previously paid under this Agreement or paid in connection with such Sale of the Company (assuming for such purposes that the Shares Transferred constitute all of the Shares). In the event any Member is liable in such Sale of the Company for amounts in excess of any escrow or holdback (other than any such obligations that relate specifically to a particular Member, such as indemnification with respect to
58

representations and warranties given by a Member regarding such Person’s title to and ownership of Shares), such amounts shall be treated as a deduction to the consideration payable in such Sale of the Company and the aggregate consideration shall be re-allocated among the Members in accordance with Section 9.08(b). The Members agree that to the extent, as a result of such re-allocation, a Member has received more than its share of the consideration pursuant to such re-allocation, such Member shall deliver such excess to the appropriate Member(s) in order for each Member to receive its appropriate share of the consideration.
(g) Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Section 9.08 but subject to Section 5.11, the Board of Directors shall determine whether or not to pursue, consummate, postpone or abandon any Sale of the Company and, subject to the limitations expressly set forth in this Section 9.08, the terms and conditions thereof.
(h) The provisions of this Section 9.08 shall not apply to any transaction pursuant to Sections 9.10 or 9.12.
9.09 Drag-Along.
(a) If the GM Investor proposes to Transfer more than fifty percent (50%) of the issued and outstanding Equity Securities to an Independent Third Party prior to an IPO (other than any Transfer (i) as provided in Section 9.08, (ii) in connection with Section 9.10, or (iii) pursuant to Section 9.12), the GM Investor shall have the right (but not the obligation) to deliver a written notice (such notice, the “Drag-Along Notice”) of its intention to do so to each other Member (the “Dragees”). The Drag-Along Notice shall set forth the aggregate consideration to be paid by the Independent Third Party and the other material terms and conditions of such transaction (a “Drag-Along Sale Transaction”), which shall be the same (in all but de minimis and immaterial respects) for the GM Investor and the other Members except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement. Upon receipt of the Drag-Along Notice, each Dragee shall be required to participate in the proposed Transfer in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 9.09; provided, that if such Drag-Along Sale Transaction involves less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Shares held by the GM Investor, then each Dragee will only be required to participate in the proposed Transfer to the Independent Third Party with respect to such percentage of each class of its Shares as equals the percentage of the GM Investor’s total Shares being sold in such Drag-Along Sale Transaction (the “Drag Percentage”). If the GM Investor is given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received under this Section 9.09, all Dragees shall be given the same option and, otherwise, the ratio of both (i) any cash to any non-cash consideration and (ii) among any type of non-cash property or asset consideration to any other type of non-cash property or asset consideration shall be equal (to the extent reasonably practicable) for each of the GM Investor and the Dragees. Within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the Drag-Along Notice, each Dragee shall deliver to a representative of the Company or the GM Member designated in the Drag-Along Notice such certificates (if certificated) representing all Shares (or the Drag Percentage of each class of its Shares, as applicable) held by such Dragee or in other cases mutually acceptable
59

instruments of transfer duly endorsed, together with a limited power-of-attorney authorizing the Company and the GM Investor to sell or otherwise dispose of such Shares pursuant to the proposed Transfer to the Independent Third Party, as well as any other documents required to be executed in connection with such transaction. In the event that any Dragee should fail to deliver such certificates (if certificated) or other documentation to the Company or the GM Investor’s representative, the Company shall cause the books and records of the Company to show that the Shares of such Dragee are bound by the provisions of this Section 9.09 and that such Shares may be Transferred only to the Independent Third Party.
(b) The Company and the GM Investor shall have ninety (90) days following delivery of the Drag-Along Notice to complete the Transfer of the Shares in accordance with this Section 9.09; provided, that if such Transfer would require the GM Investor, any Dragee, the Independent Third Party, the Company or an Affiliate of any of the foregoing to obtain any regulatory approval prior to consummating such sale, such ninety (90) day period shall be extended to the date that is five (5) Business Days after such regulatory approval has been obtained or finally denied. If, within such ninety (90) day period (as it may be extended) after the Company or the GM Investor has given the Drag-Along Notice, it shall not have completed the Transfer of all the Shares of the GM Investor and the Dragees in accordance with this Section 9.09 the Company or the GM Investor shall return to each of the Dragees all certificates (if certificated) representing Shares, or in other cases, mutually acceptable instruments of transfer, that the Dragees delivered for Transfer pursuant hereto and that were not purchased in accordance with this Section 9.09; provided, that (i) if any one or more of the Dragees defaults, the Company or the GM Investor shall be permitted, but not obligated, to complete the sale by all non-defaulting Dragees, and (ii) the completion of the sale by the Company or the GM Investor and such non-defaulting Dragees shall not relieve a defaulting Dragee of liability for its breach. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Company, the GM Investor and the Dragees in connection with the Transfers set forth in this Section 9.09 shall be paid by the Company.
(c) A Drag-Along Sale Transaction will be a Deemed Liquidation Event and the aggregate consideration payable upon consummation of such Drag-Along Sale Transaction to all holders of Shares in respect of their Shares included in such Drag-Along Sale Transaction shall be apportioned and distributed (after such aggregate consideration is adjusted for Company expenses, purchase price adjustments, escrow amounts, purchase price holdbacks, indemnity obligations and other similar items) as between the classes of Shares included in such Drag-Along Sale Transaction in accordance with the relevant provisions of Section 3.02 (it being understood that, if less than all of the Shares are being Transferred, for purposes of such calculations, it shall be assumed that the Shares included in such Drag-Along Sale Transaction constitute all of the Shares outstanding). For clarity, the application of Section 3.02 may result in some Shares included in the Drag-Along Sale Transaction not receiving any consideration with respect to such Drag-Along Sale Transaction.
(d) The provisions of this Section 9.09 shall not apply to any Transfer to a Permitted Transferee in accordance with Section 9.02.
60

(e) The obligations of a Member in connection with a Drag-Along Sale shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.08(d) as if such Drag-Along Sale was a Sale of the Company thereunder.
9.10 Public Offering.
(a) If the Board of Directors authorizes (subject to Section 5.11 and Section 6.13(d)) the Company to undertake an IPO (which may be abandoned at any time prior to its consummation by the Board of Directors), or the GM Investor notifies the Company that it wishes to consummate an IPO that takes the form of distribution of IPO Shares to the stockholders of GM Parent pursuant to a Form 10 (or any successor form), then each of the Company, the Members and any holder of Equity Securities agrees to, and agrees to cause its Affiliates to, take such commercially reasonable actions and provide such commercially reasonable cooperation and assistance as may be necessary to consummate the IPO in an expeditious and efficient manner and not to take any action or engage in any activity designed to hinder, prevent or delay the consummation of the IPO. Subject to Section 9.10(b), in connection with the IPO, each Share will be exchanged on an as-converted basis as if all Non-A-1 Interests are converted on a 1:1 basis (as adjusted, as necessary, to reflect appropriate and proportional adjustments to take into account any subdivision, reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares or similar event) and all Class A-1 Preferred Shares are converted in accordance with Section 2.10(b), for one share or unit (as applicable) of the single type of equity security of the Company that is listed and admitted for trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Stock Market or other nationally recognized exchange (the “IPO Shares”). For purposes of this Section 9.10 and Section 9.11, all references to “Company” shall also refer to (i) any corporate successor to the Company or (ii) any parent or Subsidiary of the Company, in each case which effects the IPO.
(b) The IPO Shares issued to (i) each Class A-1 Preferred Member with respect to each Class A-1 Preferred Share, each Class B Member with respect to each Class B Common Share, each Class D Member with respect to each Class D Common Share, each Class E Member with respect to each Class E Common Share and each Class F Preferred Member with respect to each Class F Preferred Share and (ii) any other Investor in respect of Equity Securities issued pursuant to Section 2.06 (if such Equity Securities are designated as low-vote Equity Securities by the Board of Directors at the time of issuance or at any time thereafter) (collectively, the “Low-Vote IPO Shares”) will be of a different class to each other IPO Share. The Low-Vote IPO Shares will be identical to each other IPO Share, except that they will be entitled only to the number of votes (including a fraction of a vote) per Low-Vote IPO Share on all matters on which stockholders of the Company may vote (including the election of directors) as will be reasonably determined by the GM Investor to enable the GM Investor to establish or maintain “control” (within the meaning of Section 368(c) of the Code) of the Company at the time of the consummation of the IPO (in the case of an IPO effected by a “spin-off” or “split-off” transaction), or immediately after the consummation of the IPO (in the case of any other IPO), in each case taking into account any other
61

planned issuances or transfers of IPO Shares. Each Member, including each Class A-1 Preferred Member, will take all reasonable action requested by the Company to give effect to this Section 9.10(b) and to cause GM to have “control” within the meaning of Section 368(c) of the Code immediately prior to any “spin-off” or “split-off” transaction.
(c) Without limiting (and without prejudice to) the other subsections of this Section 9.10, if immediately prior to an IPO the Board of Directors determines that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Members (taken as a whole) to engage in a reorganization pursuant to which a new corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity (the “Entity”) is formed and the Equity Securities of the company are recapitalized or reorganized into classes of Equity Securities of the Entity, then each Member will (i) consent (and, to the extent required, vote in favor of) such recapitalization, reorganization or exchange of the existing Equity Securities of the Company into the Equity Securities of the Entity, and (ii) take all such reasonable actions that are necessary in connection with the consummation of the recapitalization, reorganization or exchange, including entering into a new stockholders’ agreement, members’ agreement, limited liability company agreement, employee equity arrangements and/or other agreements and arrangements in respect of the Equity Securities of the Entity, in each case, on terms and conditions substantially similar to such agreements and arrangements in respect of the Equity Securities of the Company that are in effect immediately prior to such recapitalization or reorganization; provided, that the Board of Directors shall not be permitted to approve, the Company shall not be permitted to engage in, and no Member shall be required to provide any consent to or to take any action in connection with, any such formation, recapitalization or reorganization, in each case if (A) such formation, recapitalization or reorganization was undertaken in bad faith, (B) the intent or direct result of such formation, recapitalization or reorganization is or would be to impair, in any material respect, the express rights of any Member hereunder or (C) such formation, recapitalization or reorganization adversely affects any Member in a manner which is disproportionate to the other Members (except as contemplated by this Section 9.10). For the avoidance of doubt, any reorganization or recapitalization undertaken pursuant to this Section 9.10(c) shall include provision for an Equity Security analogous to the Low-Vote IPO Shares described in Section 9.10(b) above.
9.11 Registration Rights; “Market Stand-Off” Agreement; Volume Restrictions.
(a) After the consummation of an IPO pursuant to Section 9.10, the Company shall grant to (i) the GM Investor an unlimited number of demand registration rights (including underwritten offerings), (ii) each Class A-1 Preferred Member that, together with its Affiliates, beneficially owns more than ten percent (10%) of the Equity Securities in the Company, demand registration rights (including underwritten offerings) and (iii) (A) all Members that, together with its Affiliates, beneficially own more than five percent (5%) of the Equity Securities in the Company, piggyback registration rights and shelf registration rights and (B) each of The Growth Fund of America, T.

Rowe Price Science & Technology Fund, Inc., VALIC Company I - Science & Technology Fund for so long as they, together with their Affiliates, beneficially own more than one half of a percent (0.50%) of the Equity Securities in the Company, piggyback registration rights, in each case, subject to customary terms and conditions as at the time of the IPO; provided, that the Class A-1 Preferred Members may collectively exercise up to three (3) demands, the Company shall not be required to consummate more than one (1) demand registration (including underwritten offering) per ninety (90) day period, the Company shall not be required to consummate any demand registration (including underwritten offering) expected to realize less than $100,000,000 of gross proceeds (before deduction of any underwriting discount, fees or expenses) and the Company may suspend registration rights for up to one hundred twenty (120) days in any calendar year if the filing or maintenance of a registration statement would, if not so suspended, adversely affect a proposed corporate transaction or adversely affect the Company by requiring premature disclosure of confidential information.
(b) Each Member hereby agrees that (i) during the period of duration (up to, but not exceeding, one hundred eighty (180) days) specified by the Company and an underwriter of Equity Securities of the Company or its successor, following the date of the final prospectus distributed in connection with the IPO, it shall not, to the extent requested by the Company and such underwriter, directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including any short sale or other hedging transaction), grant any option to purchase or otherwise Transfer or dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any Equity Securities held by it at any time during such period except for such Equity Securities as shall be included in such registration or any Equity Securities acquired by such Member in the IPO or following the completion of the IPO and (ii) it shall, if requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters in connection with the IPO, execute a customary “lockup” agreement in the form requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters with a duration not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days.
(c) Each Member hereby agrees that (i) during the period of duration (up to, but not exceeding, ninety (90) days) specified by the Company and an underwriter of Equity Securities of the Company or its successor, following the date of the final prospectus distributed in connection with an underwritten public follow-on offering, it shall not, to the extent requested by the Company and such underwriter, directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including any short sale or other hedging transaction), grant any option to purchase or otherwise Transfer or dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any Equity Securities held by it at any time during such period except for such Equity Securities as shall be included in such registration and (ii) it shall, if requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters in connection with an
63

underwritten public follow-on offering, execute a customary “lockup” agreement in the form requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters with a duration not to exceed ninety (90) days.
(d) All Members shall be treated similarly with respect to any release prior to the termination of the time periods for the transfer restrictions contemplated by Section 9.11(b) and Section 9.11(c) (including any extension thereof) such that if any such persons are released, then all Members shall also be released to the same extent on a pro rata basis. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant in connection with the IPO or an underwritten public follow-on offering, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Equity Securities of each Member and its Affiliates (and the Equity Securities of every other Person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period, and each Member agrees that, if so requested, such Member will execute, and will cause its Affiliates to execute, an agreement in the form provided by the underwriter containing terms which are essentially consistent with the provisions of Section 9.11(a), Section 9.11(b) and Section 9.11(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations described in Section 9.11(a), Section 9.11(b) and Section 9.11(c) shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to an SEC Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future.
9.12 GM Call Right.
(a) At any time after the SoftBank Trigger Date the Company will have the right, by providing written notice to each Class A-1 Preferred Member, each Class D Member and the Board of Directors (a “SoftBank Call Notice”), to purchase from each Class A-1 Preferred Member and each Class D Member all (but not less than all) of the Class A-1 Preferred Shares and Class D Common Shares then owned by such Members (and any other Equity Securities, excluding any Class F Preferred Shares, held by such Members) in exchange for a cash purchase price (i) per Class A-1 Preferred Share equal to the greater of (A) the applicable Class A-1 Liquidation Preference Amount, and (B) the Per Class A-1 Preferred Share FMV, and (ii) per Class D Common Share (or any other Equity Securities, excluding any Class F Preferred Shares, held by such Members) equal to the Per Class A-1 Preferred Share FMV (collectively, the “Class A-1/D Purchase”). If an Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice has been delivered pursuant to Section 9.13 and, subsequent to the delivery of such Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice, a SoftBank Call Notice is delivered to a Class A-1 Preferred Member or Class D Member, then the process contemplated by Section 9.13 shall be suspended (it being understood that if the Class A-1/D Purchase is subsequently terminated or otherwise fails to be consummated, the process contemplated by Section 9.13 shall resume); provided, that if, at the time the SoftBank Call Notice is delivered to a Class A-1 Preferred Member or Class D Member, the calculation of Call Notice/Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice Fair Market Value is ongoing pursuant to Section 9.13 (but has not yet been finalized), such calculation shall continue and shall be utilized to calculate the Per Class A-1 Preferred Share FMV required by this Section 9.12.
64

(b) At any time after the Honda Call Trigger Date, the Company will have the right, by providing written notice to each Class E Member and the Board of Directors (a “Honda Call Notice” and, together with the SoftBank Call Notice, a “Call Notice”), to purchase from each Class E Member all (but not less than all) of the Class E Common Shares then owned by such Members (and any other Equity Securities, excluding Class F Preferred Shares, held by such Members) in exchange for a cash purchase price per Class E Common Share (or any other Equity Securities, excluding Class F Preferred Shares, held by such Members) equal to the Per Class E FMV (the “Class E Purchase”).
Delivery of a Call Notice with respect to the Class A-1 Preferred Shares, Class D Common Shares or Class E Common Shares will commence the process set forth on Exhibit II (provided, that in the event of a Honda Call Notice, (1) references to “SoftBank” and the “Majority of the Class A-1 Preferred” on Exhibit II shall be replaced with “Honda” and (2) the Qualified Appraisers will only calculate the Standardized FMV and not the IP Upsized FMV).
(c) The Company and each Class A-1 Preferred Member, Class D Member and Class E Member will consummate the Class A-1/D Purchase or the Class E Purchase, as applicable, as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, within thirty (30) days following the date of determination of the Per Class A-1 Preferred Share FMV or Per Class E FMV (as applicable). The Class A-1/D Purchase or the Class E Purchase, as applicable, shall be memorialized in a written agreement containing customary terms for a transaction of this type; provided, that no Class A-1 Preferred Member, Class D Member or Class E Member shall be required to make any representations or warranties other than representations and warranties as to due organization and good standing, power and authority, due approval, no conflicts and ownership and title of Shares (including the absence of liens with respect to such Shares), no brokers and no litigation pending or threatened against or affecting such Member relating to its ownership of Shares.
(d) Each Class A-1 Preferred Member, Class D Member and Class E Member, as applicable, shall take all commercially reasonable actions and provide such other commercially reasonable cooperation and assistance as may be necessary to consummate the Class A-1/D Purchase or Class E Purchase, as applicable, in an expeditious and efficient manner and will not take any action or engage in any activity designed to hinder, prevent or delay the consummation of the Class A-1/D Purchase or Class E Purchase, as applicable.
(e) At any time after the SoftBank Trigger Date or the Honda Call Trigger Date, as applicable, the GM Investor (or one of its Affiliates) may issue a Call Notice in lieu of the Company, in which event all references to the Company in this Section 9.12 (other than this Section 9.12(e)) shall be deemed to be references to the GM Investor.
9.13 Optional SoftBank Conversion.
(a) If an IPO, Sale of the Company or dissolution (pursuant to Article X) has not been consummated prior to the SoftBank Trigger Date then, at any time after the SoftBank
65

Trigger Date and subject to Section 9.12(a), SoftBank or its Permitted Transferee shall be entitled to deliver to the Board of Directors an irrevocable written notice (the “Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice”) requiring the Company to, at the election of the GM Investor (i) use its reasonable best efforts to redeem all, but not less than all, of SoftBank’s Class A-1 Preferred Shares and Class D Common Shares for common stock of GM Parent, or (ii) redeem all, but not less than all of SoftBank’s Class A-1 Preferred Shares and Class D Common Shares for cash, in each case on the terms set forth herein and, in the case of sub-section (i), on the terms set forth in the Exchange Agreement. Delivery of the Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice will commence the process set forth on Exhibit II.
(b) Within ten (10) Business Days of the date of determination of the final Call Notice/Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice Fair Market Value pursuant to Exhibit II, the Company will deliver written notice to SoftBank, informing SoftBank of the Call Notice/Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice Fair Market Value and whether the GM Investor has elected to have the Company redeem SoftBank’s Class A-1 Preferred Shares and Class D Common Shares (i) for cash, at a per Share value equal to the applicable Optional SoftBank Conversion Share Price (the “Cash Election”), or (ii) in exchange for common stock of GM Parent on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Exchange Agreement in which case GM Parent and SoftBank or its Permitted Transferee will enter into the Exchange Agreement (the “Stock Election”). If, upon consummation of the Sale of GM Parent, GM Parent (it being understood that if GM has merged or consolidated into any other Person or sold all or substantially all of its assets in any one or a series of related to transactions to such other Person, GM Parent shall include such successor or other Person) is not listed or traded on the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market or any successor exchange or market thereof, any national securities exchange (registered with the SEC under Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) or any other established non-U.S. exchange, then the GM Acquirer shall be required to settle any Stock Election pursuant to this Section 9.13 in cash.
(c) If the Cash Election is made, the Company and SoftBank or its Permitted Transferee will consummate the redemption by the Company of the Class A-1 Preferred Shares and Class D Common Shares (the “Optional SoftBank Conversion Purchase”) as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within thirty (30) days of the Cash Election. The place for closing shall be the principal office of the Company or at such other place as the Company may reasonably determine. In the event of a Cash Election, at the closing thereof SoftBank shall deliver to the Company certificates (if certificated) for its Class A-1 Preferred Shares and Class D Common Shares or, in other cases, mutually acceptable instruments of transfer, in exchange for payment (per Class A-1 Preferred Share and Class D Common Share held by SoftBank) of the relevant Optional SoftBank Conversion Share Price. The Optional SoftBank Conversion Purchase shall be memorialized in a written agreement containing representations and warranties as to due organization and good standing, power and authority, due approval, no conflicts and ownership and title of Shares (including the absence of liens with respect to such Shares), no brokers and no litigation pending or threatened against or affecting SoftBank relating to its ownership of Shares.
66

Each of the Company and SoftBank or its Permitted Transferee shall bear its own costs and expense incurred in connection with the Optional SoftBank Conversion Purchase.
(d) If the Stock Election is made, SoftBank or its Permitted Transferee will (and the Company and the GM Investor will cause GM Parent to) promptly (and in any event within five (5) days) enter into the Exchange Agreement.
(e) If the Company, acting reasonably and in good faith, determines that a filing, notice, approval, consent, registration, permit, authorization or confirmation from any Governmental Authority may be required to consummate the transactions set forth in the Exchange Agreement, then the Company and SoftBank or its Permitted Transferee shall (and SoftBank shall cause its Affiliates to) reasonably cooperate in good faith during the pendency of the calculation of the Call Notice/Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice Fair Market Value to seek to obtain such approvals as promptly as practicable such that in the event a Stock Election is made the period between signing the Exchange Agreement and closing the transaction thereunder would be reduced. For clarity, nothing in this Section 9.13(e) will require the Company to make a Stock Election (as opposed to a Cash Election) and the intention of this Section 9.13(e) is solely to take such actions as may reduce (in the event a Stock Election is made) the period between the execution of the Exchange Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.
(f) In lieu of a redemption of the Class A-1 Preferred Shares and Class D Common Shares by the Company pursuant to this Section 9.13, the GM Investor will have the right to have such Class A-1 Preferred Shares and Class D Common Shares transferred to the GM Investor (or its Affiliates) and, if a Cash Election has been made, to have the GM Investor (or its Affiliates) make the applicable cash payments.
(g) If an Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice has been delivered and an IPO or a Sale of the Company is pending, but has not yet been consummated, SoftBank will, and will cause its Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate with the Company and each other Member to ensure that the IPO or Sale of the Company, as applicable, is carried out in an expeditious manner and minimizing the effect (economically or otherwise) on such IPO or Sale of the Company of this Section 9.13.
ARTICLE X
DISSOLUTION
10.01 Events of Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved upon the occurrence of any of the following events and its business and affairs shall thereafter be liquidated and wound up pursuant to the Act:
(a) upon the approval of the Board of Directors or a Majority of the Members;
67

(b) upon the issuance of a final and nonappealable judicial decree of dissolution; or
(c) as otherwise required by the Act, except that the death, retirement, resignation, expulsion, bankruptcy or dissolution of a Member shall not result in dissolution of the Company.
10.02 Liquidation and Termination. On dissolution of the Company, the Board of Directors shall act as the liquidator or may appoint one or more Members as liquidator. The liquidator shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final distributions as provided herein and in the Act. The costs of liquidation shall be borne as a Company expense. Until final distribution, the liquidator shall continue to operate the Company properties with all of the power and authority of the Board of Directors. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidator are as follows:
(a) as promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the liquidator shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the Company’s assets, liabilities and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable;
(b) the liquidator shall cause the notice described in the Act to be mailed to each known creditor of and claimant against the Company in the manner described thereunder;
(c) the liquidator shall pay, satisfy or discharge from Company funds all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company (including all expenses incurred in liquidation) or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof;
(d) the liquidator shall make reasonable provision to pay all contingent, conditional or unmatured contractual claims known to the Company;
(e) the liquidator shall make such provision as will be reasonably likely to be sufficient to provide compensation for any claim against the Company which is the subject of a pending action, suit or proceeding to which the Company is a party;
(f) the liquidator shall make such provision as will be reasonably likely to be sufficient for claims that have not been made known to the Company or that have not arisen but that, based on facts known to the Company, are likely to arise or to become known to the Company after the date of dissolution;
(g) the liquidator shall distribute all remaining assets of the Company by the end of the taxable year of the Company during which the liquidation of the Company occurs (or, if later, 90 days after the date of the liquidation) in accordance with Section 3.02 (but subject to the other applicable provisions in this Agreement); and
68

(h) all distributions in kind to the Members shall be made subject to the liability of each distributee for costs, expenses and liabilities theretofore incurred or for which the Company has committed prior to the date of termination, and those costs, expenses and liabilities shall be allocated to the distributees pursuant to this Section 10.02. The distribution of cash and/or property to a Member in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.02 constitutes a complete return to the Member of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Member of its interest in the Company and all of the Company’s property and constitutes a compromise to which all Members have consented within the meaning of the Act. To the extent that a Member returns funds to the Company, it has no claim against any other Member for those funds.
10.03 Cancellation of Certificate. On completion of the distribution of Company assets as provided herein, the Company shall be terminated, and the Board of Directors (or such other Person or Persons as the Act may require or permit) shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of Delaware, and take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company.

(v) the GM Investor or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively), or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively), from consummating a Change of Control transaction involving a Target (the “Acquired Person”); provided, that, in the event such Acquired Person either (each tested at the time of consummation of the Change of Control) (A) derived more than twenty percent (20%) of its consolidated net revenue (calculated on a trailing twelve month basis) from the conduct of the Restricted Business or (B) had meaningful research and development costs and expenses for activities relating to the Restricted Business, the GM Investor or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively), or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively), as applicable, on or prior to the twelve (12) month anniversary of the date of consummation of such Change of Control transaction, shall either (1) dispose of the Restricted Business (or the assets used in connection therewith) of such Acquired Person or (2) cause such Acquired Person to cease to engaging in the Restricted Business;

(vii) the GM Investor or any of its Subsidiaries from engaging in or consummating any transaction that would constitute a Change of Control;
(viii) General Motors Ventures LLC (and not the GM Investor or any of its Subsidiaries) from acquiring capital stock or other ownership interests, or owning or holding capital stock or other ownership interests, in the normal course of its business and investing activities, in any Person engaged in the Restricted Business;

(b) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law and references to any law shall include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending, replacing, supplementing or interpreting such law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be unenforceable or invalid under applicable law in any jurisdiction or with respect to any Member, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such unenforceability or invalidity and shall not affect the enforceability of any other provision in such jurisdiction or the enforcement of the entirety of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction or with respect to any other Member, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction and with respect to the applicable Member as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any court determines that any of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement are overbroad under applicable law in time, geographical scope or otherwise, the Members specifically agree and authorize such court to rewrite this Agreement to reflect the maximum time, geographical and/or other restrictions permitted under applicable law to be reasonable and enforceable.
76

(c) Waiver. The failure of any Person to insist in one or more instances on performance by another Person of any obligation, condition or other term of this Agreement in strict accordance with the provisions hereof shall not be construed as a waiver of any right granted hereunder or of the future performance of any obligation, condition or other term of this Agreement in strict accordance with the provisions hereof, and no waiver with respect thereto shall be effective unless contained in a writing signed by or on behalf of the waiving party. The remedies in this Agreement shall be cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
(d) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, representatives, successors and permitted assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Members may, without the prior written approval of the Board of Directors, assign or delegate any of his, her or its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any Person other than a Permitted Transferee (provided that, for clarity, SoftBank may not assign its obligations in Section 2.02(c)(i)); provided, however that the foregoing shall not prohibit or otherwise affect the ability of a Member to effect a Transfer of Shares in accordance with this Agreement.
(e) Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the appendices, exhibits and schedules attached hereto, which are hereby incorporated herein by reference) and the other agreements referred to in or contemplated by this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, negotiations or representations with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
(f) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, including the Act, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
(g) Construction. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each has negotiated and reviewed the terms of this Agreement, assisted by such legal and tax counsel as they desired, and has contributed to its revisions. The parties hereto further agree that the rule of construction that any ambiguities are resolved against the drafting party will be subordinated to the principle that the terms and provisions of this Agreement will be construed fairly as to all parties hereto and not in favor of or against any party. The word “including” and other words of similar import means “including, without limitation” and where specific language is used to clarify by example a general statement contained herein, such specific language shall not be deemed to modify, limit or restrict in any manner the construction of the general statement to which it relates. All pronouns shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the Person may require in the context thereof. The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, and not to any particular section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause contained in this Agreement. Any law, statute, rule or regulation defined or referred to herein means such law, statute, rule or regulation
77

as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented. The terms “$” and “dollars” means United States Dollars. A reference herein to this Agreement refers to this Agreement as it may hereafter be amended, modified, extended, restated or replaced from time to time in accordance with the provisions hereof and a reference to any other agreement refers to such other agreement as it may hereafter be amended, modified, extended, restated or replaced from time to time in accordance with the provisions thereof and the applicable limitations (if any) set forth in this Agreement. With respect to any matter requiring the approval, decision, determination or consent of any Person(s) hereunder (including the Members and the Board of Directors), if no other standard for granting, denying or making such approval, decision, determination or consent is provided in this Agreement, such approval, decision, determination or consent shall be made by such Person(s) in their sole discretion.
(h) Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement has been executed and delivered in and shall be deemed to have been made in Delaware. Each Member agrees to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court within Delaware, with respect to any claim or cause of action arising under or relating to this Agreement (provided that any order from any such court may be enforced in any other jurisdiction), and waives personal service of any and all process upon it, and consents that all services of process be made by registered mail, directed to it at its address as set forth in Section 12.06, and service so made shall be deemed to be completed when received. Each Member waives any objection based on forum non conveniens and waives any objection to venue of any action instituted hereunder. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect the right to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO (INCLUDING EACH MEMBER) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING INSTITUTED BY OR AGAINST SUCH PARTY IN RESPECT OF ITS, HIS OR HER OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.
(i) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
(j) Third Parties.

EXHIBIT II
Call Notice/Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice Fair Market Value of the Company
The Call Notice/Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice Fair Market Value of the Company will be the total value, in dollars, of the consideration that would be received by the Members in a sale of one hundred percent (100%) of the Shares (on a Fully Diluted Basis), calculated in accordance with the process, and consistent with the methodologies, set forth below. The calculation of Call Notice/Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice Fair Market Value will consist of two independent valuations, the Standardized FMV and the IP Upsized FMV each calculated, contemporaneously (using the same Qualified Appraisers), in accordance with the process below.
Process
(a) One Qualified Appraiser shall be selected by the GM Investor and the other Qualified Appraiser shall be selected by the Majority of the Class A-1 Preferred (such Members, the “Applicable FMV Parties”).
(b) Each of the Qualified Appraisers so selected by the Applicable FMV Parties must be engaged by the Applicable FMV Parties within fifteen (15) days of the delivery of the Call Notice or Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice (as applicable) and the Board of Directors shall, within one (1) Business Day of delivery of the Call Notice or Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice (as applicable), notify each of the Applicable FMV Parties of such event.
(c) Each Qualified Appraiser shall be (i) required to determine the Call Notice/Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice Fair Market Value within forty-five (45) days after being notified of its selection, (ii) provided with the same access to the management of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the same source documents, books and records (including financial and operating data) and information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries and (iii) required to determine a single point estimate of Call Notice/Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice Fair Market Value and not a range of values.
(d) Following each Qualified Appraiser’s determination of Call Notice/Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice Fair Market Value (which determination shall be provided to each Applicable FMV Party together with a customary valuation report setting forth in reasonable detail such Qualified Appraiser’s calculation of Call Notice/Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice Fair Market Value prepared consistently with the methodologies set forth below), (i) if the lower of the two determinations by the two Qualified Appraisers is within ten percent (10%) of the higher of the determinations, then the Call Notice/Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice Fair Market Value shall be the average of the two determinations, and will be final and binding on the relevant parties or (ii) if the lower of the two determinations is not within ten percent (10%) of the higher of the determinations, then (A) the Applicable FMV Parties shall negotiate in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days (or such longer period as to which the Applicable FMV Parties may mutually agree)
Exh. II-1

to agree upon the Call Notice/Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice Fair Market Value, any such agreement to be made by each Applicable FMV Party and to be set forth in writing signed by each of the Applicable FMV Parties (and any such agreement will be final and binding on the relevant parties), and (B) if no such agreement is reached by the Applicable FMV Parties within such thirty (30)-day time period, then a third Qualified Appraiser (acting as expert and not arbitrator) that is selected (within fifteen (15) days following the expiration of the thirty (30)-day time period for good faith negotiations) by mutual agreement of the original two Qualified Appraisers will determine its own valuation of the Call Notice/Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice Fair Market Value in accordance with the methodologies set forth below within forty-five (45) days following its appointment and the Call Notice/Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice Fair Market Value will be the average of (1) such third Qualified Appraiser’s determination of the Call Notice/Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice Fair Market Value and (2) the valuation of the original Qualified Appraiser that is numerically closest to the third Qualified Appraiser’s valuation.
(e) The third Qualified Appraiser shall have the same access to the Company, its Subsidiaries, their employees and officers and the source documents, books and records (including financial and operating data) and information as the original Qualified Appraisers.
(f) Each Applicable FMV Party will bear the cost of the Qualified Appraiser selected by it and one-half of the cost of any third Qualified Appraiser that may be required in accordance with the preceding sentence (and, if an Applicable FMV Party consists of more than one Member, then such costs will be shared equally by such Members).
Methodologies
In calculating Call Notice/Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice Fair Market Value, each Qualified Appraiser will utilize customary valuation methodologies in their respective professional judgments, subject to such instructions mutually agreed by the Applicable FMV Parties within ten (10) days following the selection of the initial Qualified Appraisers, which shall include at a minimum the following:
(a) The Qualified Appraisers shall take into consideration the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ historic financial and operating results, current balance sheet, future business prospects and projected financial and operating results, public market and industry conditions, prior financing transactions and the valuation of the Company as of such transaction (if the same is considered relevant, and requested, by the Qualified Appraisers), the valuation and performance of comparable companies and such other factors as they may determine relevant to such determination, in each case as existing as of the date the appraisal process was initiated;
(b) The future business prospects and projected financial and operating results of the Company and its Subsidiaries provided to the Qualified Appraisers shall (i) be prepared by the Company’s management in good faith based on assumptions consistent with those used in the Company’s ordinary course forecasting, (ii) if the projected financial and operating results of the
Exh. II-2

Company and its Subsidiaries provided to the Qualified Appraisers cover a period of ten (10) years or less, and the Qualified Appraisers so request, be extended (in the case of the projected financial and operating results) for reasonable period exceeding ten (10) years, and (iii) take into account, consistent with the Company’s ordinary course forecasting and subject to the restrictions in Article XI (except as otherwise expressly stated in this Exhibit II in connection with the IP Upsizing), the scope of the intellectual property portfolio of the Company and its Subsidiaries. SoftBank will have opportunity to review the future business prospects and projected financial and operating results for a reasonable period of time (not to exceed ten (10) days) before such projections are submitted to the Qualified Appraisers and to discuss such projections with the Company.
(c) The Qualified Appraisers shall value the Company as a going concern, including taking into consideration the remainder of the term, if any, of the Commercial Agreements and any agreements that the Commercial Agreements require to be put into place upon termination or amendment of the Commercial Agreements;
(d) The Qualified Appraisers shall assume an arms-length sale between a willing buyer and a willing seller;
(e) Except as otherwise contemplated by section (a) under “Methodologies,” the Qualified Appraisers shall disregard any prior appraisals or valuations of the Company or its Subsidiaries, including any such appraisals or valuations conducted for the purpose of valuing any rights associated with or tied or indexed to the value of the Shares of the Company or its Subsidiaries;
(f) The Qualified Appraisers shall value the Company as at the date of delivery of the Call Notice or Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice (as applicable); and
(g) The Qualified Appraisers shall take into account only such tax depreciation and amortization as would be allowable to the Company in respect of the Company’s assets immediately prior to such deemed sale.
The Qualified Appraisers shall contemporaneously calculate two valuations: (A) a valuation based on the Commercial Agreements as in force at the time (the “Standardized FMV”), and (B) a valuation (the “IP Upsized FMV”) as if the Transferred Assets (as defined in the IPMA) had been assigned, transferred, conveyed, and delivered to the Company (pursuant to Section 2.2 of the IPMA) immediately prior to the calculation of Call Notice/Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice Fair Market Value and Section 11.01 does not apply (the “IP Upsizing”). The Standardized FMV and the IP Upsized FMV shall be identical other than the value attributable to the IP Upsizing.
For purposes of the definition of Optional SoftBank Conversion Share Price, if the Standardized FMV is less than the Class A-1 Liquidation Preference Amount, then the Call Notice/Optional SoftBank Conversion Notice Fair Market Value will equal the IP Upsized FMV; provided, that, following the application of the IP Upsized FMV, in no event will, with respect to each Class A-1-
Exh. II-3

A Preferred Share and Class A-1-B Preferred Share, the Optional SoftBank Conversion Share Price be greater than the applicable Class A-1 Liquidation Preference Amount.
