The Company will not, by any intentional and voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all of the provisions of this Agreement and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary, appropriate or reasonably requested by the Stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock held by the Stockholders.

​

​

​

[***], 2026 without the prior consent of all of the disinterested directors of the Board, other than a Transfer of all (but not less than all) of its rights and benefits arising under this Agreement to an Affiliate of such Stockholder (such Affiliate, a “Permitted Transferee”). A Transfer (a “Permitted Transfer”) to a Permitted Transferee by a Stockholder (such Stockholder, the “Permitted Transferor”) shall be valid only upon execution by such Permitted Transferee of an agreement, reasonably acceptable to the Company, to be bound by and subject to the terms of this Agreement as applicable to the Permitted Transferor. Upon execution and delivery of such agreement, the Permitted Transferee shall be deemed to be party hereto as if such Permitted Transferee were the Permitted Transferor, and such Permitted Transferee’s signature appeared on the signature pages of this Agreement, and the references in this Agreement to the Permitted Transferor shall be deemed to apply to the Permitted Transferee; provided, however, that, other than with respect to a Permitted Transfer pursuant to Section 3.01(d), such Permitted Transfer shall not relieve the Permitted Transferor of obligation or liability under this Agreement.

(b)Any purported Transfer in violation of this Section 3 shall be deemed to cause irreparable harm to the other Parties.

(c)It is recognized that damages may not be an appropriate remedy for breach of this Section 3 and, accordingly, the Parties hereto acknowledge that, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement, injunctive or other equitable relief will be the appropriate remedy to deal with any breach of this Section 3.

(d)IAG shall be deemed a Permitted Transferee of Suncor in connection with the IAG Tranche 1 Cash Investment.

3.02 Change of Control of Investor; Effect of Being a Competitor. A change of control of a Stockholder’s ultimate parent entity shall not be a Transfer for purposes of Section 3.01; however, in the event that all of the Board, excluding the applicable designee(s), reasonably determines that a Stockholder is, or is beneficially owned by, or otherwise an Affiliate of, a Competitor, such Stockholder shall, promptly following any such determination by the Board, (i) not be entitled to any inspection rights, (ii) be deemed to have waived all inspection and information rights afforded to stockholders under the Delaware General Corporate Law or hereunder and (iii) cause any director or observer designated by such Stockholder to resign; provided, however, that following such resignation, such Stockholder may designate a director pursuant to Section 2.03 hereto who shall be sufficiently independent (as decided by the Board) from such Stockholder as to present a de minimis risk of sharing confidential technical information of the Company (such designee, a “Stockholder Independent Director”). Prior to the time that the Stockholder Independent Director joins the Board, such Stockholder Independent Director, the Company, and the Stockholder designating such Stockholder Independent Director shall execute a non-disclosure agreement, in a form to be agreed by the Company, the Stockholder Independent Director, and such Stockholder, that shall restrict and limit the Stockholder Independent Director’s ability to share confidential technical information of the Company with such Stockholder. Such restrictions (not including the confidentiality and non-disclosure restrictions) shall terminate upon Transfer of the Stockholder’s shares of Common Stock to a third party approved by the Board.

3.03 Notice of Transfer. If a Stockholder (the “Selling Stockholder”) receives from a third party (the “Third Party”) a bona fide written offer (the “Third Party Offer”) regarding the direct or indirect Transfer of any Stockholder Shares, then the Selling Stockholder shall only accept such Third Party Offer subject to compliance with the provisions of this Section 3. Upon such conditional acceptance, the Selling

​

17

​

​

​

Stockholder shall deliver notice in writing (“Notice of Transfer”) to the Company and each of the other Stockholders irrevocably offering to sell first to the Company, in accordance with Section 3.04, and then to the other Stockholders, in accordance with Section 3.05, that certain number of Stockholder Shares that are the subject of the Third Party Offer (the “Stockholder Stock”) at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as provided in the Third Party Offer and such offer to sell shall remain open for acceptance for the periods specified in Section 3.04 and Section 3.05. The Selling Stockholder shall deliver, with the Notice of Transfer, a true copy of the Third Party Offer, including a description of the nature of such Transfer, the consideration to be paid, the name and address of the Third Party and, if the Third Party is not an individual, the names of the principal shareholders or holders of interests in such Third Party (if available), officers and directors (or the equivalent) of the Third Party and any other information with respect to the financial capacity of the Third Party in the possession of the Selling Stockholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 3.03 shall not apply to a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee.

3.04 Company Right of First Refusal. For a period of [***] following receipt of the Notice of Transfer described in Section 3.03, the Company shall have the right to purchase all or a portion of the Stockholder Stock subject to such Notice of Transfer on the same terms and conditions as set forth therein. The Company’s purchase right shall be exercised by written notice signed by an officer of the Company (the “Company Notice”) and delivered to the Selling Stockholder within such [***] period. The Company shall effect the purchase of the Stockholder Stock, including payment of the purchase price, not more than [***] after delivery of the Company Notice, and at such time the Selling Stockholder shall deliver to the Company a duly executed transfer signed by the Selling Stockholder and representing the Stockholder Stock to be purchased by the Company. The Stockholder Stock so purchased shall thereupon be cancelled and cease to be issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

3.05 Stockholder Right of First Refusal.

(a)In the event that the Company does not elect to purchase all of the Stockholder Stock available pursuant to its rights under Section 3.04 within the period set forth therein, the Selling Stockholder shall promptly give written notice (the “Second Notice”) to each of the other Parties (each Party other than the Company being a “ROFR Party”), which shall set forth the number of shares of Stockholder Stock not purchased by the Company and which shall include the terms of Notice of Transfer set forth in Section 3.03. Each ROFR Party shall then have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Selling Stockholder within [***] the receipt of the Second Notice, to purchase all or any portion, of its pro rata share of the Stockholder Stock subject to the Second Notice and on the same terms and conditions as set forth therein. Except as set forth in Section 3.05(c), the ROFR Parties who so exercise their rights (the “Participating Parties”) shall effect the purchase of the Stockholder Stock, including payment of the purchase price, on the same terms and conditions as the Third Party Offer, and at such time the Selling Stockholder shall deliver to the Participating Parties a duly executed certificate representing the Stockholder Stock to be purchased by the Participating Parties, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer. In the event there are no Participating Parties, the Selling Stockholder may sell the Stockholder Shares not purchased by the Company pursuant to Section 3.04 to the Third Party on the terms and conditions as set forth in the Third Party Offer.

(b)Each ROFR Party’s pro rata share shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of shares of Stockholder Stock covered by the Second Notice and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock issued or other rights to acquire shares of Common Stock held by the Participating Party at the time of the Notice of Transfer, and

​

18

​

​

​

the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued or other rights to acquire shares of Common Stock at the time of the Notice of Transfer held by all Participating Parties.

(c)In the event that not all of the ROFR Parties elect to purchase their pro rata share of the Stockholder Stock available pursuant to their rights under Section 3.05(a) within the time period set forth therein, then the Selling Stockholder shall promptly give written notice to each of the Participating Parties (the “Overallotment Notice”), which shall set forth the number of shares of Stockholder Stock not purchased by the other ROFR Parties, and shall offer such Participating Parties the right to acquire such unsubscribed shares. Each Participating Party shall have [***] after receipt of the Overallotment Notice to deliver a written notice to the Selling Stockholder (the “Participating Parties’ Overallotment Notice”) indicating the number of unsubscribed shares that such Participating Party desires to purchase, and each such Participating Party shall be entitled to purchase such number of unsubscribed shares on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Second Notice. In the event that the Participating Parties desire, in the aggregate, to purchase in excess of the total number of available unsubscribed shares, then the number of unsubscribed shares that each Participating Party may purchase shall be reduced on a pro rata basis. For purposes of this Section 3.05(c) the denominator described in clause (ii) of Section 3.05(b) above shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued or other rights to acquire shares of Common Stock held by the Participating Party at the time of the Notice of Transfer. The Participating Parties shall then effect the purchase of the Stockholder Stock, including payment of the purchase price, not more than [***] after delivery of the Participating Parties’ Overallotment Notice.

3.06[***]. (i) If the Parties (other than the Party at question) make a good faith reasonable determination that the creditworthiness of any other Party (other than the Company) is such that such other Party will be unable to meet its ongoing obligations (which determination must be based on objective circumstances that are materially adverse to such other Party), or (ii) in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of any Party (other than the Company) (in each case, an “Affected Party”), then [***]. The process for Parties to [***] shall be the same as for the right of first refusal set forth in Sections 3.04 and 3.05. [***] shall not be subject to the terms of Section 3.01 or Section 3.03 of this Agreement.

4.Prohibited Transfers.

4.01 Call Option Upon Prohibited Transfer. In the event of a prohibited Transfer in violation of Section 3 hereof (a “Prohibited Transaction”), the other Parties shall have the option to purchase from the pledgee, purchaser or transferee of the Stockholder Stock transferred in violation of Section 3, the number of shares that such Party would have been entitled to purchase had such Prohibited Transaction been effected in accordance with Section 3 hereof, on the following terms and conditions (with the Company having the first right to exercise such right, followed by the other Parties (other than the Selling Stockholder)):

(a)The price per share at which the shares are to be purchased by the Parties shall be equal to the price per share paid to such Stockholder by the third party purchaser or purchasers of such Stockholder Stock that is subject to the Prohibited Transaction; and

(b)the Stockholder effecting such Prohibited Transaction shall reimburse the Party for any expenses, including legal fees and expenses, incurred in effecting such purchase.

​

19

​

​

​

4.02 Voidability of Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any purported Transfer by a Stockholder of Stockholder Stock (or portion thereof) in violation of Section 3 hereof shall be voidable at the option of the holders of a majority of the Stockholder Stock not held by the Selling Stockholder if the majority of the Stockholders (other than the Selling Stockholder) do not elect to exercise the call set forth in this Section 4, and the Company agrees it will not effect such Transfer nor will it treat any alleged transferee as the holder of such shares without the written consent of the holders of a majority of the Stockholder Stock not held by the Selling Stockholder.

Except as provided in Section 5.03, if any additional shares of capital stock, options to purchase shares of capital stock or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of capital stock of the Company (collectively referred to in this Section as “Additional Securities”) are to be issued, the Company shall first offer such Additional Securities to the Investors and the Sponsor by notice given to them of the Company’s intention to issue Additional Securities, the number of such Additional Securities to be issued and the terms and conditions of such Additional Securities and the terms and conditions of the offer.

5.02 Issuance of Additional Securities. Each of the Investors and the Sponsor shall have the right to purchase the Additional Securities so offered pro rata based upon the number of Stockholder Shares beneficially owned by all such Investors and Sponsor at the date notice is given of such offer. Each of the Investors and the Sponsor shall have [***] from the date such notice is given to give a notice to the Company of its intention to purchase all or any of the Additional Securities to which it is entitled and shall indicate in such notice the maximum number of Additional Securities which it is willing to purchase (which number may be greater than or less than its pro rata entitlement). If any Investor or the Sponsor does not accept its pro rata entitlement, such unaccepted Additional Securities shall be deemed to have been offered to the Investors or Sponsor, as applicable, who indicated they would accept greater than their pro rata entitlement and each such Investor or Sponsor, as applicable, shall be entitled to acquire such unaccepted Additional Securities pro rata based upon the number of Stockholder Shares beneficially owned by all such Investors and Sponsor. The transaction of purchase and sale by the Company to the Investors or Sponsor, as applicable, shall be completed on the date specified by the Board. Any Additional Securities not accepted by the Investors or Sponsor, as applicable, may be issued [***] such Additional Securities having been first offered to the Investors or Sponsor, as applicable, at not less than the price offered to the Investors or Sponsor, to such Persons as the Board determines, provided that such persons execute and deliver a joinder agreement to this Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Joinder Agreement”).

6.Registration. “Initial Offering” shall mean an approved firmly underwritten initial public offering and/or the listing for trading of the Company’s securities on a recognized stock exchange in the United States of America or on any other recognized stock exchange. For purpose of this Article 6, with respect to a listing for trading of the Company’s securities on a recognized stock exchange in the United States of America, the following provisions will apply (provided that if the Company undertakes an approved Initial Offering outside of the United States of America, the following rights will be modified as and to the extent necessary to comply with the relevant jurisdiction). For purposes of this Section 6, “Registrable Securities” shall mean (i) Common Stock of the Company issuable or issued to the Stockholders, (ii) any Common Stock of the Company issued or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise of any other securities of the Company, acquired by the Investors after the date hereof or (iii) any Common Stock of the Company issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security which is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of, such above-described securities in clauses (i) - (iii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Registrable Securities shall not include any securities (x) for which registration rights have terminated pursuant to Section 6.13 or (y) sold in a private transaction in which the transferor’s rights under Section 5 of this Agreement are not assigned. For purposes of this Article 6, “Registrable Securities then outstanding” shall mean the number of shares determined by adding the number of shares of outstanding Common Stock that are Registrable Securities and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable (directly or indirectly) pursuant to then exercisable and/or convertible securities that are Registrable Securities.

6.01 Demand Registration.

(a)Subject to the conditions of this Section 6.01, and following the end of the Company’s lock-up period with the underwriters of the Initial Offering in connection with the Company’s consummation of an Initial Offering (provided that if there are no underwriters or lock-up, this will be triggered upon the consummation of an Initial Offering), if the Company shall receive a written request from any person or group of persons beneficially owning, owning of record or having the right to acquire Registrable Securities that have not been sold to the public or any assignee of record of such Registrable Securities in accordance with Section 6.09 hereof (each, a “Holder”) of [***] of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (the “Initiating Holders”) that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form F-1 under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or another offering document pursuant to any other applicable Laws and regulations (collectively, the “Applicable Listing Laws and Regulations”) covering the registration of at least such number of the Registrable Securities having an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of all underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale (“Selling Expenses”), of [***], then the Company shall, within ten (10) days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all Holders (the “Demand Notice”), and subject to the limitations of this Section 6.01, (x) as soon as practicable, and in any event within [***] after the date of such request is given by the Initiating Holders, file a Form S-1 or F-1 registration statement under the Securities Act registering all Registration Securities that the Initiating Holders requested to be registered and any additional Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any

​

21

​

​

​

other Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within [***] of the date the Demand Notice and (y) effect, as expeditiously as reasonably possible, the registration under the Securities Act or any other Applicable Listing Laws and Regulations of all Registrable Securities that all Holders request to be registered.

(b)If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 6.01 or any request pursuant to Section 6.04 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.04(a), as applicable. In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding held by all Initiating Holders (which underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.01 or Section 6.04, if the underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten (including Registrable Securities) then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated to the Holders of such Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Holders (including the Initiating Holders). For purposes of Section 6.01(c)(i), a registration shall not be counted as “effected” if, as a result of an exercise of the underwriter’s cutback provisions in this Section 6.01(b), fewer than all of the Registrable Securities that Holders have requested to be included in such registration statement are actually included.

(c)The Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 6.01:

(i)after the Company has effected two (2) registrations pursuant to this Section 6.01, and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective; provided, that, a registration shall not be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Section 6.01 until such time as the applicable registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC or any other Listing Authority, unless the Initiating Holders withdraw their request for such registration, elect not to pay the registration expenses therefor, and forfeit their right to one demand registration statement, in which case such withdrawn registration statement shall be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Section 6.01; provided, further, that if such withdrawal is made as a result of a material adverse change to the Company, then the Initiating Holders may withdraw their request for registration and such registration will not be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Section 6.01.

(ii)during the period starting with the date of filing of, and ending at the end of the Company’s lock-up period with the underwriters of the Initial Offering in connection with the Company’s consummation of an Initial Offering (provided that if there are no underwriters or lock-up, this period will end upon the effectiveness of the registration statement or other offering document pertaining to the Initial Offering); provided that the Company makes reasonable good faith efforts to cause such registration statement or other offering document to become effective;

(iii)if within [***] of receipt of a written request from Initiating Holders pursuant to Section 6.01(a), the Company gives notice to the Holders of the Company’s intention to file a

​

22

​

​

​

registration statement or other offering document for its Initial Offering within [***]; provided, however, that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective during such [***] period;

(iv)if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting a registration statement or other offering document pursuant to this Section 6.01 a certificate signed by the chairperson of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement or other offering document to be effected at such time because it would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization or other similar transaction involving the company, (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than [***] after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders; provided that such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any [***] period and provided that the Company shall not register any other of its shares during such [***];

(v)if the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 or Form F-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 6.04 below; or

(vi)in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance.

6.02 Piggyback Registrations. The Company shall notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least ten (10) days prior to the filing or confidential submission of any registration statement under the Securities Act or another offering document pursuant to any other Applicable Listing Laws and Regulations for purposes of a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements or other offering documents relating to the Initial Offering or any secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding (i) a registration statement relating to any employee benefit plan, (ii) with respect to any corporate reorganization or transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act, any registration statements related to the issuance or resale of securities issued in such a transaction or (iii) a registration related to stock issued upon conversion of debt securities (together, the “Special Registration Statements”)) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or part of such Registrable Securities held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by it shall, within [***] after the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing. Such notice shall state the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities by such Holder. If a Holder decides not to include any or all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statements or other offering document as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. Additionally, no stockholder of the Company shall be granted piggyback registration rights which would reduce the number of shares includable by the Holders of the Registrable Securities in such registration without the consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding.

​

6.03 Underwriting. If the registration statement or other offering document of which the Company gives notice under Section 6.02 is for an underwritten offering, the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such event, the right of any such Holder to include Registrable Securities in a registration pursuant to Section 6.02 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to the Company; second, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders; and third, to any stockholder of the Company (other than a Holder) on a pro rata basis; provided, however, that no such reduction shall reduce the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the registration below [***] of the total amount of securities included in such registration, unless such offering is the Initial Offering and such registration does not include shares of any other selling stockholders, in which event any or all of the Registrable Securities of the Holders may be excluded in accordance with the immediately preceding clause. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter, delivered [***] prior to the effective date of the registration statement or other offering document; provided, however, such Holder’s obligation to provide such notice to the Company and the underwriter is conditioned upon the Company and the underwriter providing written notice of the terms of such underwriting to the Holders [***] prior to the effective date of the registration statement or other offering document. If it is impracticable for such terms to be provided to the Holder twelve (12) Business Days prior to the effective date of the registration statement or other offering document, then the Holder shall have the right to elect to withdraw from such underwriting during the two (2) Business Day period following the provision of such terms in writing to the Holder. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting as a result of the prior two sentences shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. For any Holder which is a partnership, limited liability company or corporation, the partners, retired partners, members, retired members and stockholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners, retired partners, members, retired members and stockholders and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing person shall be deemed to be a single “Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “Holder,” as defined in this sentence. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under Section 6.02 whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration, and shall promptly notify any Holder that has elected to include shares in such registration of such termination or withdrawal. The Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 6 hereof. Such withdrawn registration shall not be counted as “effected” for purposes of Section 6.01(c)(i) or 6.04(c)(iv).

6.04 Form S-3 or Form F-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from any Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 or Form F-3 (or any successor to Form S-3 or Form F-3) or any similar short-form registration statement and any related qualification or compliance (a “Short Form Registration”) with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company will:

​

24

​

​

​

(a)promptly, and in any event, within [***] of the receipt of such request, give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders of Registrable Securities;

(b)as soon as practicable, and in any event within [***] after the date such request is given by the requesting Holder, file the Short Form Registration requested by such Holders covering all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders;

(c)as soon as practicable effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder’s or Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within [***] after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 6.04:

(i)if no Short Form Registration is available for such offering by the Holders;

(ii)if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public of [***];

(iii)if within [***] of receipt of a written request from any Holder or Holders pursuant to this Section 6.04, the Company gives notice to such Holder or Holders of the Company’s intention to make a public offering within [***], other than pursuant to a Special Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in [***], and provided further, that the Company shall not register any other of its shares during such [***] other than pursuant to a Special Registration Statement;

(iv)if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the chairperson of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Form S-3 or Form F-3 registration to be effected at such time because it would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization or other similar transaction involving the company, (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 or Form F-3 registration statement for a period of not more than [***] after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 6.04; provided that such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in [***] and provided that the Company shall not register any other of its shares during such [***] other than pursuant to a Special Registration Statement;

(v)if the Company has, within the [***] period preceding the date of such request, already effected two (2) registrations on Form S-3 or Form F-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 6.04; or

(vi)in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration,

​

25

​

​

​

qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act or any other Applicable Listing Laws and Regulations; and

(d)Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a Form S-3 or Form F-3 registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the requests of the Holders. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 6.04 shall not be counted as demands for registration pursuant to 6.01 or registrations effected pursuant to Section 6.02.

6.05 Expenses of Registration. Except as specifically provided herein, all expenses (other than Selling Expenses) incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to Section 6.01, 6.02 or 6.04 herein shall be borne by the Company, including the reasonable fees and disbursement, of one counsel for the selling Holders (the “Registration Expenses”). All Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any registrations hereunder, shall be borne by [***]. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay for expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 6.01 or 6.04, the request of which has been subsequently withdrawn by the Initiating Holders unless (a) the withdrawal is based upon material adverse information concerning the Company of which the Initiating Holders were not aware at the time of such request or (b) the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities then outstanding agree to deem such registration to have been effected as of the date of such withdrawal for purposes of determining whether the Company shall be obligated pursuant to Section 6.01(c) or 6.04(c)(v), as applicable, to undertake any subsequent registration, in which event such right shall be forfeited by all Holders. If the Holders are required to pay the Registration Expenses, such expenses shall be borne by the holders of securities (including Registrable Securities) requesting such registration in proportion to the number of shares for which registration was requested. If the Company is required to pay the Registration Expenses of a withdrawn offering pursuant to clause (a) above, then such registration shall not be deemed to have been effected for purposes of determining whether the Company shall be obligated pursuant to Section 6.01(c) or 6.04(c)(v), as applicable, to undertake any subsequent registration.

6.06 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a)Prepare and file with the SEC or any listing, governmental or exchange authority or other administrative entity (“Listing Authority”) such registration statement or other offering document requested by the Holders with respect to such Registrable Securities and use all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement or other offering document to promptly become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement or other offering document effective for up to [***] or, if earlier, until the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution related thereto; provided, however, (i) that at any time, upon written notice to the participating Holders and for a period not to exceed [***] thereafter (the “Suspension Period”), the Company may delay the filing or effectiveness of any registration statement or other offering document or suspend the use or effectiveness of any registration statement or other offering document (and the Initiating Holders hereby agree not to offer or sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement or other offering document during the Suspension Period) if the Company reasonably believes that there is or may be in existence material nonpublic information or events involving the Company, the failure of which to be disclosed in the prospectus included in the registration statement or other offering document could result in a Violation (as defined below) and (ii) in the case of an registration of Registrable Securities on a Short Form Registration that are intended to be

​

26

​

​

​

offered on a continuous or delayed basis, subject to compliance with applicable SEC rules, such [***] period shall be extended for up to an additional [***], if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold. In the event that the Company shall exercise its right to delay or suspend the filing or effectiveness of a registration hereunder, the applicable time period during which the registration statement or other offering document is to remain effective shall be extended by a period of time equal to the duration of the Suspension Period. The Company may extend the Suspension Period for an additional consecutive [***] with the consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered under the applicable registration statement or other offering document, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In no event shall any Suspension Period, when taken together with all prior Suspension Periods, exceed [***] in the aggregate. If so directed by the Company, all Holders proposing to register shares under such registration statement or other offering document shall not offer to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement or other offering document during the period in which the delay or suspension is in effect after receiving notice of such delay or suspension.

(b)Prepare and file with the SEC or any Listing Authority such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus, if applicable, or other offering document, used in connection with such registration statement or other offering document as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any other Applicable Listing Laws and Regulations in connection with the listing (on an exchange, foreign or domestic, mutually agreeable to the Company and Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding covered by the registration statement) and the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement or other offering document for the period set forth in subsection (a) above.

(c)Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act or any other Applicable Listing Laws and Regulations and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.

(d)Use its [***] efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement or other offering document under such other securities or blue-sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act or any other Applicable Listing Laws and Regulations.

(e)In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.

of the circumstances then existing. The Company will use reasonable efforts to promptly amend or supplement such prospectus in order to cause such prospectus not to include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

(g)Use its [***] efforts to furnish, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, (i) an opinion and negative assurance disclosure letter, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and (ii) a letter, dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering addressed to the underwriters.

(m)Ensure that, at all times after any registration statement covering a public offering of securities of the Company under the Securities Act shall have become effective, its insider trading policy shall provide that the Company’s directors may implement a trading program under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.

6.08 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement or other offering document under Sections 6.01, 6.02 or 6.04:

(a)To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, members, officers ,directors and stockholders of each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act or any other Applicable Listing Laws and Regulations) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, other federal or state law or any other Applicable Listing Laws and Regulations, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”) by the Company: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement or incorporated reference therein, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or other offering document or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law, any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law or any other Applicable Listing Laws and Regulations, in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement or other offering document; and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, partner, member, officer, director, stockholder, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred (as such expenses are incurred) by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6.08(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder, partner, member, officer, director, stockholder, underwriter or controlling person of such Holder.

officers or any person who controls such Holder, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, or partner, director, officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act other federal or state law or any other Applicable Listing Laws and Regulations, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement or incorporated reference therein, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or other offering document or any amendments or supplements thereto or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (collectively, a “Holder Violation”), in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Holder Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder under an instrument duly executed by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred (as such expenses are incurred) by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, or partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if it is judicially determined that there was such a Holder Violation; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6.08(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 6.08 exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

(c)Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6.08 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6.08, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses thereof to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 6.08 to the extent, and only to the extent, prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, but the omission to so deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 6.08.

(d)If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.08 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable Law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the Violation(s) or Holder Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative

​

​

​

​

fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided that in no event shall any contribution by a Holder hereunder exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

(e)The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 6.08 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement or other offering document and, with respect to liability arising from an offering to which this Section 6.08 would apply that is covered by a registration filed before termination of this Agreement, such termination. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim, action or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim, action or litigation.

Breach of this Section 9.03 will be automatically deemed to be a material breach of this Agreement and will entitle the owner of the Highly Sensitive Trade Secrets to Injunctive Relief under Section 11.04(c).

(e)The confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section 9.03 shall not limit any Party or its Representatives’ right to disclose Confidential Information that such Party is required to disclose under any applicable Laws or pursuant to the regulations, policies or rules of any regulatory agency or any stock exchange of competent jurisdiction (provided that in the event disclosure is required pursuant to this clause by applicable Laws or the regulations, policies or rules of any regulatory agency or any stock exchange, such Person shall, to the extent reasonably possible, (A) provide the Parties from whom or from whose Affiliates such information is obtained with prompt notice of such requirement prior to making any disclosure so that such other Parties or any of their Affiliates may seek an appropriate protective order and (B) provide the minimum disclosure of such Confidential Information as is practicable under the circumstances and use [***] to obtain confidential treatment of such disclosed information).

(a)the date of the closing of an Initial Offering or an Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined in the Restated Certificate); or

(b)the date as of which the Parties hereto terminate this Agreement by written consent of all of the Parties, in accordance with Section 11.08 herein.

10.02 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any Party hereto except:

(a)In the event of a termination upon an Initial Offering, the following Sections and the rights and obligations therein shall survive any such termination of the Agreement, (i) as set forth in Sections 6, 7 and 9, and (ii) Section 10 and Section 11;

10.03 Buy-Sell.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time after the Effective Date and prior to an Initial Offering, each Investor and the Sponsor (each, a “Put Option Holder”) shall have a right and option (a “Put Option”) to require the Company to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Common Stock held by such Investor or the Sponsor, as applicable (the “Put Option Stock”), at a price per share of [***] (the “Put Option Exercise Price”), upon the occurrence of any of the below:

​

40

​

​

​

(ii)any termination of the License Agreement or the Battelle Agreement;

(iii)the relevant Investor or Sponsor as the case may be determining that [***]; or

(iv)on or after [***], if no Investor has completed its Tranche 2 Cash Investment on or prior to such date.

(b)The Put Option shall be exercisable by a Put Option Holder only by delivery of a written notice to the Company in accordance with Section 11.08 certifying such Put Option Holder’s election to exercise its Put Option and setting forth the number of shares of Put Option Stock held by such Put Option Holder being sold pursuant to such exercise, together with the certificate or certificates representing all of the shares of Put Option Stock held by such Put Option Holder at the time of the exercise of the Put Option (such notice, the “Put Option Notice”).

(c)Subject to compliance with Section 10.03(a)-(b), the Company shall pay to each Put Option Holder who has exercised its Put Option the Put Option Exercise Price upon the receipt of a properly executed Put Option Notice.

The Put Option shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of receipt of the Put Option Notice. Failure to deliver a Put Option Notice prior to the expiration of the Put Option shall constitute an irrevocable waiver of the Put Option.

(d)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.03, if the Company is unable or not permitted under applicable Law, to pay all or part of the Put Option Exercise Price pursuant to the exercise of the Put Option, the Company shall pay the Put Option Exercise Price and purchase the shares of Put Option Stock subject to the Put Option as soon as the Company is able and the applicable Laws permit the Company to do so.

To the extent a Put Option Holder has exercised the Put Option pursuant to this Section 10.03 but did not receive its Put Option Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 10.03(d), until receipt of the Put Option Exercise Price, such Put Option Holder shall continue to have all rights available to it as an Investor or as the Sponsor, as applicable, prior to its exercise of the Put Option.

(a)Upon the dissolution of the Company, its affairs shall be wound up as soon as practicable thereafter by the Stockholders. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c) of this section, in winding up the Company and liquidating the assets thereof, the Board, or other persons so designated for such purpose, may arrange for the collection and disbursement to each Stockholder of any future receipts from the Company property or other sums to which the Stockholder may be entitled, or may sell the Company’s interest in the Company property to any person, including persons related to a Stockholder, on such terms and for such consideration as shall be consistent with obtaining the fair market value thereof.

(b)Upon the dissolution of the Company, the assets, if any, of the Company available for distribution and any net proceeds from the liquidation of any such assets, shall be applied and distributed in the following manner or order, to the extent available:

​

41

​

​

​

(i)To the payment of or provision for all debts, liabilities, and obligations of the Company to any person, and the expenses of liquidation; and

(ii)to the Stockholders in accordance with the Restated Certificate.

(c)Upon dissolution, a reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets of the Company and the discharge of liabilities to creditors so as to minimize the losses normally attendant to a liquidation.

​

42

​

​

​

All discussions and negotiations between the Parties to the Dispute and any offers of compromise made by a Party in an attempt to resolve the Dispute prior to, in the course of, or following such discussions shall be on a without prejudice basis unless expressly stated otherwise.

(b)At any time, including during the course of the discussions undertaken pursuant to Section 11.04(a) and if no negotiated resolution of the Dispute occurs within such [***] period, any Party to the Dispute may, (1) if the other Party or Parties to the Dispute agrees, pursue another form of dispute resolution, including arbitration incorporating such provisions and rules as the Parties to the Dispute may agree; or (2) apply to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or any New York State court sitting in New York City for interim, conservatory or final measures, including immediate Injunctive Relief or similar equitable relief, in which case, all Disputes between any one or more Parties that has not been resolved through negotiation of the Parties shall be exclusively referred to such courts for determination.

(c)Each Party acknowledges and agrees that a breach of this Agreement may give rise to irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. Each Party accordingly agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section and subject to Section 11.06, each Party shall be entitled to seek to enforce the terms of this Agreement by decree of specific performance or to obtain injunctive relief against any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement in any court of competent jurisdiction (collectively, “Injunctive Relief”).

(d)Each Party acknowledges and agrees that any Dispute, Action or arbitration arising out of or relating to any of the Transaction Agreements or breach thereof may include by consolidation, joinder or other manner any other person or persons which or whom a Party to the arbitration reasonably believes to be substantially involved in a common question of fact or law.

(e)In the event of a conflict or ambiguity between the terms of this Section 11.04 in relation to the Sponsor Mitsui Commercial Facility Option or any future agreement between the Mitsui SPV and the Sponsor, the Company, the Pre-Pay Offtaker, and any other offtaker concerning offtake from a Mitsui Commercial Facility, the provisions contained in such future agreement shall govern and control.

11.05 Indemnification; Limitation on Damages.

(a)Each Party shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, subject to clauses (b)-(d) of this section, indemnify each other Party and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, permitted successors, permitted assigns, and their respective Affiliates (each, a “Damaged Party”) from and against any and all Actions which are or may be asserted by any Person against, imposed upon or incurred by a Damaged Party by reason of, arising out of or resulting from (a) the inaccuracy, breach or failure of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement made by the indemnifying Party in this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement and (b) the indemnifying Party’s fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct in relation to this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or thereto.

(b)In no event shall any Party be liable to any Person hereunder for any indirect or consequential damages, losses or expenses, or exemplary, special or punitive damages, losses or expenses, including lost or anticipated revenues or profits, loss of use, loss of data, business interruption or injury to goodwill or reputation arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether such liability is asserted on the basis of contract (including any breach or termination of this Agreement), tort (including negligence or strict liability), or otherwise, even if the Parties have been warned of the possibility of any

​

43

​

​

​

such damages, losses or expenses in advance; it being agreed that any indirect, consequential, exemplary, special or punitive damages (i) related to personal or damage to human health, the environment or natural resources, (ii) caused by a Party’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud, or (iii) required to be paid by any Party or its Affiliates to any other Person (other than to another Party hereto or any Affiliate thereof) arising out of an Action by such Person (a “Third Party Claim”) shall be deemed to be direct losses to the Party or its Affiliates required to pay such indirect, consequential, exemplary, special or punitive damages.

(c)If a Third Party Claim shall be initiated against a Party hereto and such Party shall desire to settle such Third Party Claim by agreeing to make a payment to the claimant that both (i) would constitute indirect, consequential, exemplary, special or punitive damages and (ii) would give rise to a liability hereunder of any other breaching Party hereof for such indirect, consequential, exemplary, special or punitive damages by reason of the immediately preceding sentence, then such Party shall not agree to make such settlement payment without the prior written consent of the breaching Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 11.05, in no event shall any Party be liable for any damages, losses or expenses arising from or related to this Agreement or under any other Transaction Agreement in excess of (i) for any claim or set of related claims by any Stockholder and its Affiliates, the amount of such Stockholder and its Affiliates’ Tranche 1 Cash Investment, or (ii) for all claims the aggregate amount of Tranche 1 Cash Investments actually made by the Investors at the Initial Closing, the Shell Tranche 1 Cash Investment and the IAG Tranche 1 Cash Investment not to exceed [***].

(e)Any liability for indemnification under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of damages. Without limiting the generality of the prior sentence, if a statement of facts, condition or event constitutes a breach of more than one representation, warranty or covenant which is subject to the indemnification obligation in this Agreement or any indemnification obligation under any other Transaction Agreement, damages shall be limited to the actual amount suffered.

(f)No Party shall be liable to another Party for any damages, losses or expenses arising from or related to any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement made by the breaching party if it is demonstrated to a court of competent jurisdiction that the damaged Party had actual knowledge of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and was informed in writing by the breaching party of such inaccuracy or breach prior to the Effective Date.

(g)The provisions of this Article 11 shall survive and remain in full force and effect for so long as any Transaction Agreement remains in effect, notwithstanding that any other provision of this Agreement may have expired or otherwise become no longer effective or terminated in accordance with its terms.

11.06 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable harm would occur if any of the obligations under this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions (or similar remedy(ies)), or other forms of equitable relief, in any appropriate jurisdiction, to prevent breaches of this Agreement to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in any court or courts having jurisdiction over the Party against whom any injunction (or similar remedy) is being sought. Notwithstanding the foregoing, specific

​

44

​

​

​

performance shall not be available as a remedy to compel a Tranche 2 Cash Investment if the conditions for such Tranche 2 Cash Investment have not been either satisfied or waived.

​

​

presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted. The Schedules and Exhibits referred to herein shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein.

(e)Time is of the essence in the performance of the Parties’ respective obligations.

11.10 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

(a)This Agreement, the agreements contemplated hereby, the other Transaction Agreements and any Exhibits thereto constitute the sole and entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter; provided that all existing confidentiality agreements or similar non-disclosure agreements or obligations between the Sponsor and an Investor shall continue in full force and effect.

47

​

Company’s recognition of such Transfer, each transferee or assignee shall agree in writing to be subject to each of the terms of this Agreement by executing and delivering a Joinder Agreement. Upon the execution and delivery of a joinder agreement by any transferee, such transferee shall be deemed to be a party hereto as if such transferee were the transferor and such transferee’s signature appeared on the signature pages of this Agreement and shall be deemed to be Stockholder.

11.13 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder may not be assigned by a Party without the written consent of the other Parties; other than to a Permitted Transferee or as otherwise provided in accordance with Section 3. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any of its rights, benefits or obligations or any portion thereof arising hereunder or relating hereto without the prior written consent of the other Parties. Any such purported assignment without the prior written consent of the Parties shall be null and void. No assignment of any rights or obligations hereunder shall relieve the assigning Party of any such obligations. Upon any assignment permitted under this Agreement, the references in this Agreement to such assigning Party shall also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.

11.14 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express, or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever.

11.15 Amendment or Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, modified or terminated and the observance of any term hereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only by a written instrument executed by (a) the Company; and (b) each of the Stockholders.

11.16 Relationship of Parties. The relationship of the Parties established by this Agreement is that of independent contractors, and nothing herein shall be construed to constitute the Parties as partners, joint venturers, co-owners, or otherwise as participants in a joint or common undertaking, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement. No Party has any authority to either obligate any other or any of its Affiliates in any respect or hold itself out as having any such authority unless specifically agreed upon by the Parties in advance and in writing.

11.17 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, email, or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.

In the event that subsequent to the date of this Agreement any stock or other securities are issued on, or in exchange for, any of the Stockholder Shares by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, reclassification or the like, such shares or securities shall be deemed to be Stockholder Shares for purposes of this Agreement. All references to a number of shares of a series or class of capital stock shall be automatically adjusted to reflect any stock splits, stock

​

48

​

​

​

combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations or the like occurring after the date hereof with respect to such series or class, as applicable.

11.19 Conflict. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Restated Certificate or the Company’s Bylaws, the Parties hereto shall, to the extent permitted by law, promptly approve an amendment to the Restated Certificate of the Company’s Bylaws to conform it to the terms of this Agreement.

11.20 Aggregation of Stock. All Stockholder Shares held or acquired by a Stockholder and/or its Affiliates shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement, and such affiliated persons may apportion such rights as among themselves in any manner they deem appropriate.
