LMC will endeavor to, among other things, raise sufficient third-party capital for the acquisition, retrofitting, and restart of the Lordstown Assembly Complex, and the ongoing operating costs, which amounts are expected to be significant (the “Capital Raise”). In connection with the LMC Transaction, the Company granted LMC a perpetual and worldwide license to certain intellectual property relating to the Company’s W-15 electric pickup truck platform and its related technology (the “Licensed Intellectual Property”) for consideration as described below: •A ten percent ownership interest in the common stock of LMC in exchange for the Company’s obligations under the License Agreement. The LMC common stock received provided the Company with anti-dilution rights for two years. •One percent of the aggregate debt and equity commitments funded to LMC upon completion of the Capital Raise (the “Royalty Advance”). Any amount paid to the Company from the Capital Raise is non-refundable. •A one percent royalty on the gross sales price of the first 200,000 vehicles sold, to the extent that the aggregate amount of such royalty fees exceeds the amount paid as the Royalty Advance. •Upon completion of the Capital Raise, the Company intends to transfer approximately 6,000 existing vehicle orders to LMC. LMC will pay a four percent commission on the gross sales price of any transferred orders fulfilled by LMC. The consideration includes a fixed and variable component. The fixed component consists of the ten percent ownership interest in LMC and any amounts received under the Royalty Advance. The variable component consists of the four percent commission and the one percent royalty. Variable consideration will be recognized when each vehicle for which a royalty or commission is owned is sold.
