purposes pursuant to Section 734, 743 and 754 of the Code. Each Member agrees to supply to the JVC any necessary information to give effect to any such election. Any additional costs incurred by the JVC in making such adjustments shall be charged to
the Members whose acquisition of an interest in the JVC or receipt of a distribution results in such adjustments. In the event that the JVC makes an election under Code Section 754 to make Code Sections 734(b) and 743(b) applicable to a transaction
involving the JVC, the Members’ Capital Accounts shall be adjusted as provided in Treas. Reg. §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).

court or any arbitrator in a binding arbitration, resulting from, arising out of or relating to the assets, activities, operations, actions or omissions of a Person or its Affiliates, or products manufactured or sold thereby or services provided
thereby, or under contracts, agreements (whether written or oral), leases, commitments or undertakings thereof. 
  
 (c) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the Related Agreements and the Reorganization Agreements, each Member (and its respective
Affiliates) shall retain and enjoy the full benefit of all assets of every kind and nature relating to or arising out of the operation of the business of each Member (and its respective Affiliates), including, without limitation, cash, bank

 ARTICLE 6: DEBT-FUNDING 
  
 6.1 Debt-Funding. Simultaneously upon execution of the Original
Agreement, SVAC arranged for one of its Affiliates to make available a line of credit to the JVC. SVAC has accepted an assignment from Siemens Capital Corporation of the original Siemens loan agreement and the existing corporate guaranty of OECL in
respect of the line of credit made available under that agreement to the JVC. SVAC and OFT have agreed on the Siemens Loan Agreement according to Exhibit E and the corporate guaranty issued by OECL and the revised loan arrangements. 
  
 6.2 Guarantees and Encumbrances. The repayment of all principal and
interest on all loans, interest thereon and related obligations (“Indebtedness”) incurred by the JVC pursuant to the Siemens Loan Agreement have been guaranteed by OECL for fifty percent (50%) of all outstanding Indebtedness of the JVC.
The JVC shall not encumber, purport to encumber or deal with as security, collateral or surety any rights in any technology, information or other intellectual property (including know-how and Confidential Information), owned, developed, licensed,
used or otherwise in the possession of the JVC, SVAC, OFT (or their respective Affiliates). 
  
 ARTICLE 7: PERCENTAGE INTEREST AND ALLOCATIONS 
  
 7.1 Percentage Interest. Subject to changes in the percentage interest occurring due to the circumstances described
in Section 5.3 and Articles 14 and 14C, the Members shall have a 50% percentage interest in the JVC (a “Percentage Interest”). 
  
 7.2 Allocation of Net Income and Net Losses. The Net Income and the Net Losses of the JVC shall be allocated between the Members in proportion to
their respective Percentage Interests for the relevant period (or the Weighted Average thereof for the relevant period if Percentage Interests change in the relevant period). 
  
 7.3 Allocation of Credits. Any tax credit generated by the JVC for a fiscal year shall be allocated between the
Members in proportion to the respective Percentage Interests (or the Weighted Average thereof for the relevant period if Percentage Interests change in the relevant period) at the time such credit arises. 
  
 7.4 Allocations with Respect to Certain Contributed Property. If any
asset is contributed (as opposed to sold or leased) to the JVC by a Member and the Book Value of that asset on the books of the JVC differs from its adjusted tax basis (a “Book-Tax Disparity”) and such Book-Tax Disparity arose from such a
difference as of the date of contribution, then income, gain, loss or deduction attributable to such asset shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated between the Members in a manner so as to take into account such Book-Tax Disparity in accordance
with Section 704(c) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. 
  
 7.5 Allocations Following Capital Transactions. If the Book Value of any JVC property is adjusted in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), then, solely for federal 

  

 15 







 
income tax purposes, subsequent allocations of depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain or loss with respect to such property shall take account of any
variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the regulations thereunder. 
  
 7.6 Federal Income Tax Allocations. Except as provided in Sections 7.4 and 7.5 all income, gain, loss and
deductions of the JVC determined for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated between the Members in the same manner that the items of Net Income and Net Losses to which such income, gain, loss and deductions are attributable, are allocated.

  
 7.7 Recharacterization of Items. In the event that any
adjustment (including any correlative adjustments) of income, gain, loss, deductions or credit under Section 482 of the Code (or other analogous provisions) is required in respect of any actual or deemed transactions between a Member and the JVC, as
between the JVC and any other entity, or if any transaction is recharacterized as a JVC item, or any JVC item is recharacterized as a deemed contribution or deemed distribution, such adjustment (including all related adjustments and deemed
contributions and distributions) shall be specifically allocated to the Member or Members with respect to which such adjustment relates. 
  
 7.8 Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain (as
defined in Treas. Reg. 1.704-2(d)) during any JVC Fiscal Year, each Member who would otherwise have a deficit balance in its Capital Account at the end of such year shall be specially allocated items of JVC income and gain for such year (and, if
necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in
proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section is intended to comply
with the minimum gain chargeback requirement of Treas. Reg. §1.704-2 and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 
  
 7.9 Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt
Minimum Gain (as defined in Treas. Reg. §1.704-2(i)) attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt (also as defined in Treas. Reg. §1.704-2(i)) during any Fiscal Year, each Member who has a share of the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain
attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of JVC income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount
equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the
respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section is intended to comply with the minimum
gain chargeback requirement of Treas. Reg. §1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 
  

 16 







 7.10. Allocation of Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions (as defined
in Treas. Reg. §1.704-2(i)(2)) for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt (as defined in Treas. Reg. §1.704-2(b)(4)) to which such Partner
Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable, in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.704-2(i)(1). 
  
 ARTICLE 8: DISTRIBUTIONS 
  
 8.1 Working Capital. Any cash balances shall be managed and maintained for the JVC by the JVC’s executive officers, at the direction of the
JVC’s Board of Directors in accordance with Section 5.1. 
  
 8 2. Distribution of Distributable Funds. In the event cash or cash equivalents held by the JVC exceed the net anticipated cash requirements (excluding such items as reserves and capital expansion plans) of the JVC for the
immediately-following semi-annual period (as set forth in the Annual Budget and Business Plan (the “Business Plan”) or any subsequent approved budget), such excess cash shall be applied in the following order: (1) to the repayment of all
outstanding loans from Members or its Affiliates to maintain the JVC’s debt/equity ratio required under the then-existing Business Plan; and (2) to the Members as a distribution in accordance with Section 8.2 and 8.3. Any JVC distribution of
cash or property must be approved by the JVC Board of Directors and shall be distributed to each Member in proportion to its respective Percentage Interest immediately prior to such distribution. 
  
 8 3. Liquidating Distributions. When applicable, liquidating
distributions by the JVC shall be made to each Member in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.5. 
  
 ARTICLE 9: THE JVC’s BUSINESS OPERATIONS 
  
 9.1 The Business. (a) Immediately upon formation of the JVC, (i) the Members made the Initial Capital Contributions
pursuant to Section 5.1 and Schedule 5.1 of the Original Agreement, (ii) the JVC made a [            *            ] license fee
payment to OFT pursuant to the Orbital License Agreement, and (iii) the Members and the JVC’s Board of Directors approved the initial Business Plan (attached as Schedule 9.1(a)(i)). On July 1, 1997 the JVC purchased certain prepaid expense
assets and existing inventory from OFT as described in Schedule 9.1(a)(ii) for an estimated fair market value of $800,000 (such amount as determined by the Members to be adjusted pursuant to a valuation of such assets conducted after formation of
the JVC). Immediately after all such contributions, payments and approvals, the JVC commenced its business. 
  
 (b) On
[            *            ], immediately upon receipt by the JVC of the capital contributions required to be made by the Members
on such date pursuant to Section 5.1 and Schedule 5.1 of the Original Agreement, the JVC made a [            *            ]

 (c) In order that OFT and SVAC might collaborate in the development of Systems
Integration for Licensed Applications, OFT transferred to the JVC certain assets which were formerly a part of Meteor I. SVAC transferred to the JVC all of its current Systems Integration activities and opportunities in the Motorcycle market.

  
 9.2 Delivery of Reorganization Agreements. At the
latest within one month of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, SVAC and OFT shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver all of the Reorganization Agreements effective from April 1, 2003 or such later date as
may be agreed between the parties. 
  
 9.3.1 Employees.
Upon execution of the Original Agreement, the JVC offered employment to each of the current OFT employees listed on Schedule 9.3(i) at the compensation and benefit levels described in Schedule 9.3 (i). The JVC may hire or contract employees as
necessary to operate its business and to meet the goal of its then-existing Business Plan. Each Member shall make available its employees for hire by the JVC and the JVC may also make its employees available for hire by either of the Members (or
their Affiliates); provided, however, that if any Member or the JVC wishes to hire or solicit for hire any employee of the other Member or the JVC, such Member or the JVC shall only do so through the other Member’s or the JVC’s department
in charge of human resources or personnel recruitment; provided further, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or preclude either Member (or their Affiliates) or the JVC from making generalized searches for employees by use of
advertisements in the media or by engaging search firms to engage in the searches not targeted or focused on employees of respective Members or of the JVC. The JVC shall reimburse OFT for all of OFT’s costs associated with any retention,
termination, outplacement or severance payments relating to the termination of the OFT employees listed on Schedule 9.3(iii) on the dates of termination and for the estimated termination payments described on Schedule 9.3(iii). If such employees are
not terminated on the dates indicated in Schedules 9.3(iii), the JVC shall not be responsible for reimbursing OFT for any additional costs of OFT associated with any retention, termination, outplacement or severance payments beyond such termination
date unless such extensions are mutually agreed to in advance by the Members. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, OFT shall retain all Liabilities (as defined in Section 5.10) with respect to the termination of the employees listed on
Schedule 9.3(iii) including any claims or lawsuits relating to the wrongful termination or discrimination. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Members agree to cause Synerject to not entice away or endeavour to entice away from any
Member any person who is a director or employee of the Member or its Affiliates at any time after January 1, 2003 without first consulting with and obtaining the approval of the relevant Member. 
  
 9.3.2 Additional Employees. In connection with the expanded scope of
the JVC contemplated in the first amended Agreement, the JVC offered employment to such employees of Meteor I as it chose and provided them with compensation and benefit levels generally 

  

 18 







 
comparable to their present compensation and benefits. OFT assumed responsibility for all other Meteor I employees and remains liable for any retention,
termination, outplacement or severance payments payable to such employees 
  
 9.4 Components and Services. The Members may, at the request of the JVC, supply the JVC with supplies, parts and services for use in the design, development or manufacture of Licensed Products as well as
products of the Businesses. Such supplies, parts and services will be supplied to the JVC through a purchase order or agreement, and at all times consistent with the JVC’s goal of delivering the highest quality products and services for the
lowest competitive price. 
  
 (a) It was the
intention of the parties in the Original Agreement for the JVC to utilize the manufacturing capabilities (including the properties, plant, equipment and employees) of SVAC to manufacture, assemble and test Licensed Products, and for SVAC to provide
air blast injectors and air and fuel rail assemblies to the JVC pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Siemens Supply Agreement. The JVC was entitled to utilize SVAC’s manufacturing capabilities (including SVAC’s properties, plant,
equipment and employees) from the time of the JVC’s formation until the time that the JVC’s manufacturing volume or activities required a separate facility or significant equipment expansion, as determined by mutual agreement of the
Members and as anticipated by the then-existing Business Plan. The parties agreed that a JVC employee may not, under any situation or circumstance, supervise or give work directions to Collective Bargaining Unit employees of SVAC. Thereafter, the
JVC should have investigated, planned and if thought fit, established and operated, with the technical assistance and guidance of SVAC, an independent manufacturing facility for Licensed Products. In the course of providing facilities, equipment,
services, personnel and manufacturing capabilities to the JVC pursuant to this Agreement, the Siemens Supply Agreement and the Siemens Administrative Services Agreement, SVAC (and its Affiliates) shall not have any liability for any damages of any
kind whatsoever (including any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages) to the JVC, OFT or any of OFT’s Affiliates, employees, directors, agents or advisors, for any acts or omissions relating to or arising out of the provision of
SVAC’s services, facilities, equipment, personnel and manufacturing capabilities or by reason of the fact that such services and capabilities were provided at SVAC’s facilities under the control or direction of SVAC, its affiliates,
employees or agents, except to the extent that such damages were the primary result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of SVAC, its Affiliates or their respective employees, directors, agents or advisors. Except as stated above, OFT and
its Affiliates hereby
[                                *        
                        ] of any kind whatsoever relating to SVAC’s obligations under this Section or under the Siemens
Supply Agreement or the Siemens Administrative Services Agreement. 
  
 (b) SVAC and its Affiliates will also be the JVC’s preferred supplier of electronic control unit commonly known as the “ECU”, fuel metering injectors, air and fuel pressure regulator products, fuel
pumps, sensors, and components of SVAC’s portfolio on competitive commercial and technical terms to be agreed to by SVAC and the JVC.

 19 







 (c) OECL and its Affiliates shall be the JVC’s preferred supplier of technical,
engineering and development services relating to the application control and integration of Licensed Products to OCP internal combustion engines. 
  
 (d) The parties shall take all reasonable and appropriate steps to assist the JVC to undertake fuel Systems Integration for Licensed
Applications and the Businesses, by making available engineering skills and assistance wherever practicable. 
  
 (e) The Members acknowledge that the Members currently supply goods and/or services to Synerject and that it is in the best interests of
Synerject to continue to purchase those goods and/or services from the Members rather than undertake activities designed to replicate the provision of those goods and/or services. 
  
 (f) The Members further acknowledge that it is in the best interests of Synerject to preferably purchase
goods and/or services from the Members and their Affiliates rather than third parties. To the extent possible, Synerject shall, prior to awarding any contract for the provision of such goods and/or services to a third party, and without disclosing
specific details of any third party offer, provide the Members with the opportunity to reconsider any offer that the Members or their Affiliates may have made in respect of such “last call”.

directors at the meeting can hear and be heard by all other participating 

  

 20 







 
members) or act without a meeting by three quarter majority written consent. Other than for the purposes of Section 10.2(a), a quorum shall consist of five
members of the JVC Board of Directors, provided that each of the designees of both OFT and SVAC must be present. For the purposes of Section 10.2(a), a quorum shall consist of the designees of both OFT and SVAC. Any member of the JVC Board of
Directors may invite additional persons in the employ of one of the Members or its Affiliates to attend such meetings as may be appropriate. No action at a meeting of the JVC Board of Directors in which a quorum is present shall be effective unless

Executive Officer of OECL. A Deadlocked Board shall be deemed to have occurred in the following circumstances: 
  
 (i) A dispute arises among the Board of Directors members pertaining to a matter submitted to the Board which is related to the JVC and
such matter cannot be resolved by the Board of Directors within thirty (30) days after the matter is initially submitted to the Board of Directors for a vote, as evidenced by the required three quarter majority of votes not being obtained each time
the matter is submitted for a vote during such time; or 
  
 (ii) In the event one of the Board of Directors members designated by one Member fail to attend or participate in (in person or by telephone or video) two consecutive meetings of the Board of Directors which were duly
called and noticed, so that a quorum is not obtained at such meetings. 
  
 Any resolution agreed to by the Escalation Review Officers shall be final and binding on the JVC. If the Escalation Review Officers cannot agree on a resolution thirty (30) days after each of them is notified that a
Deadlocked Board exists with respect to such matter, then either Member shall be free to pursue any of its rights pursuant to this Agreement and any rights pursuant to applicable law; provided, however, that the Members may mutually agree to extend
the time period for resolution of the Deadlocked Matter. 
  
 (c) Unless otherwise agreed by the Members, no Director, unless working for the JVC on a full-time basis as an employee, shall be remunerated by the JVC for 

  

 21 







 
services to the JVC. Travel and other costs incurred by Directors or committee members in connection with attending meetings of the Board of Directors and
other services performed for or on behalf of the JVC shall be the responsibility of the Members individually and shall not be charged to the JVC.

(“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), or as otherwise directed by the JVC Board of Directors, except that the following matters may not be delegated by the JVC Board of Directors and shall require the approval of the

information as each Member or its Affiliates may require for tax purposes. SVAC is hereby designated as the “Tax Matters Partner” of the JVC within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code until another Member is designated as such
Tax Matters Partner by the unanimous consent of the Members. However, no material action shall be taken by SVAC in such capacity without prior approval of the JVC Board of Directors or the joint approval of the CEO and CFO. The Tax Matters Partner
shall not be required to take any action or incur any expenses for the prosecution of any administrative or judicial remedies in its capacity as Tax Matters Partner unless the Members jointly agree on a method of sharing expenses incurred in
connection with the prosecution of such remedies. As long as the Tax Matters Partner is not grossly negligent and acts in good faith pursuant to instructions it receives from the Board of Directors or the CEO and CFO, (i) the Tax Matters Partner
shall be fully protected in acting as such and (ii) the JVC shall indemnify and hold harmless the Tax Matters Partner from and against any and all expenses incurred by the Tax 

  

 28 







 
Matters Partner in connection with any activities or undertakings taken by it in its capacity as the Tax Matters Partner. Any Member that enters into a
settlement or closing agreement with the IRS or any comparable Governmental Authorities with respect to any JVC tax item shall notify the Tax Matters Partner of such agreement. The Tax Matters Partner shall take such action as may be reasonably
necessary to constitute the other Member a “notice partner” within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(8) of the Code. 
  
 ARTICLE 13: INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION 
  
 13.1 Indemnification by JVC of Individuals. 
  
 (a) The JVC shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he is or was a member of the JVC Board of Directors or an officer of the JVC, or is or was serving at
the request of the JVC as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the JVC, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption
that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the JVC, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct
was unlawful. 
  
 (b) To the extent that a member
of the JVC Board of Directors or an officer of the JVC has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 13.1(a), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be
indemnified by the JVC against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. 
  
 (c) Any indemnification under Section 13.1(a) (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the JVC only as authorized in the specific case
upon a determination that indemnification of the member of the JVC Board of Directors or officer is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in said Section 13.1(a). Such determination shall be made
by independent legal counsel (compensated by the JVC) in a written opinion. 
  
 (d) Expenses to be incurred or incurred by an officer or member of the JVC Board of Directors in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be advanced or paid by the JVC in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit or 

  

 29 







 
proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such member of the JVC Board of Directors or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately
be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the JVC as authorized in this Section 13.1. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so advanced or paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the JVC Board of
Directors deems appropriate. 
  
 (e) The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this Section 13.1 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be
entitled under any other agreement or otherwise, both as to action in the individual’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 13.1, the JVC shall
indemnify and make advancement of expenses to any person referred to in Section 13.1 to the fullest extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware and any other applicable laws, as they now exist or as they may be amended in the future
(but not if such amendment shall cause such laws to be more restrictive than their current form). 
  
 (f) The JVC may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a member of the JVC Board of Directors, officer,
employee or agent of the JVC, or is or was serving at the request of the JVC as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and
incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the JVC would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Section 13.1. 
  
 (g) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided
by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 13.1 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a member of the JVC Board of Directors, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the
benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. 
  
 (h) The JVC Board of Directors may, by resolution, extend the indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of this Section 13.1 to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was an employee or agent of the JVC or is or was serving at the request of the JVC as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise. 
  
 (i) In
the event that a Member shall pay in good faith or become obligated to pay any proper obligation of the JVC, such Member shall be entitled to contribution from the other Member to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect to such
contribution, each Member shall bear no more than that part of such obligation which corresponds to its respective Percentage Interest in the JVC unless otherwise provided by this Agreement or agreed in writing by the parties. 
  

 30 







 13.2 Indemnification by Members for Unauthorized Acts, Etc. Each Member shall indemnify and hold
the other Member, each Affiliate, officer, director and employee thereof and the JVC harmless from and against any and all claims, causes of action, payments, obligations, expenses (including without limitation reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel) and losses (collectively “Losses”) arising out of or in any way connected with (i) any action, commitment, contract, covenant or undertaking of such Member for and on behalf of the JVC which (A) was not within the scope of its
authority hereunder, (B) required the approval of the Members or the Board of Directors, but for which no such approval was obtained or (C) was in violation of the terms of this Agreement or any Related Agreement to which such Member is a party,
(ii) any breach of any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement or any Related Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto, or (iii) any breach or non-fulfillment by it of any covenant under this Agreement or any Related
Agreement. 
  
 13.3 Indemnification by Members for Third Party
Claims. Each Member shall indemnify and hold the JVC harmless and the other Members (and each Affiliate thereof) harmless from and against any and all Losses claimed by any person who is not a party to this Agreement and not an Affiliate
of such Member against the JVC (or any Affiliate thereof), which claim is not related to, not connected with, or not arising out of the organization, formation or operation of the JVC, including but not limited to (i) Losses by employees of a Member
relating to employee benefits, violations or labor laws such as, for example, wrongful discharge, discrimination and harassment, or any laws relating to an employee’s tenure with the Member, or (ii) Losses arising from a failure to act,
negligence, misconduct, breach of contract, products liability or patent or other intellectual property right infringement. 
  
 13.4 Indemnification of Members for Proportionate Liability. 
  
 (a) Each Member agrees to, and does hereby indemnify and hold harmless the other Member, and to the extent
set forth below the Affiliates of the other Member, from and against all Losses arising out of a liability or obligation of the JVC to the extent necessary to accomplish the result that neither Member (together with the Affiliates) shall bear any
portion of a liability or obligation of the JVC in excess of such Members Percentage Interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Loss shall be deemed to arise out of a JVC liability or obligation if it arises out of or is based
upon the conduct of the business of the JVC or the ownership of the property or assets of the JVC. 
  
 (b) Section 13.4(a) shall not inure to the benefit of any Member thereof in respect of any Loss which: (i) arises out of or is
based upon the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Member (or an Affiliate); (ii) is a tax, levy or similar governmental charge not imposed upon the JVC on its property or (iii) is related to a Third Party Claim (as defined in Section
13.5(a)). 
  

 31 







 13.5 Indemnification Procedures. 
  
 (a) Procedures for Indemnification of Third Party
Claims. 
  
 (i) If a person entitled to
indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnitee”) shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a person (including, without limitation, any Governmental Authority) who is not a party to this Agreement, of any claim or of the
commencement by any such person of any action (a “Third Party Claim”) with respect to which another party (an “Indemnifying Party”) may be obligated to provide indemnification pursuant hereto, such Indemnitee shall give such
Indemnifying Party written notice thereof promptly after becoming aware of such Third Party Claim, provided that the failure of any Indemnitee to give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof promptly after becoming aware of such Third Party
Claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure to give notice. Such notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable
detail and, if ascertainable, shall indicate the amount (estimated if necessary) of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by such indemnitee. 
  
 (ii) An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend or to seek to settle or compromise, at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by
such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, any Third Party Claim. Within 30 days of the receipt of notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 13.5(a)(i) (or sooner, if the nature of such Third party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying
Party shall notify the Indemnitee of its election whether the Indemnifying Party shall assume responsibility for defending such Third Party Claim, which election shall specify any reservations or exceptions. After notice from an Indemnifying Party
to an Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnitee under this Article for any legal or other expenses (except expenses approval in advance by the Indemnifying
party) subsequently incurred by such indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof; provided that, if, in the Indemnitee’s reasonable judgment, a conflict of interest between the Indemnitee and such Indemnifying Party exists in respect of
such claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel to represent such Indemnitee at its own expense who shall be entitled to participate in such defense. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for
defending a Third Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election as provided in this Section such Indemnitee may defend or (subject to the remainder of this Section 13.5(a)(ii) and Section 13.5(a)(iv) seek to compromise or settle such
Third Party Claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. Neither an Indemnifying Party nor an Indemnitee shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim which does not include as an unconditional term
thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee, in the case of a consent or settlement by an Indemnifying Party, or the Indemnifying Party, in the case of a consent or settlement by the Indemnitee, of a written release form all
liability in respect of such Third Party Claim. 
  

 32 







 (iii) If an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or to seek to compromise or settle any
Third Party Claim, the related Indemnitee shall make available to such Indemnifying Party (in a manner that shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the Indemnitee business) any personnel or any books, records or other documents within
its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available that are necessary or appropriate for such defense, settlement or compromise, and shall otherwise cooperate in the defense, settlement or compromise of such Third Party Claim.

  
 (iv) Notwithstanding anything in Section
13.5(a) to the contrary, (A) neither an Indemnifying Party nor an Indemnitee shall, without the written consent of the other party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any Action or Third Party Claim if the
effect thereof is to admit any criminal liability by, or to permit any injunctive relief or other order providing non-monetary relief to be entered against, the other party and (B) other than as provided in clause (A), neither an Indemnifying Party
nor an Indemnitee may settle or compromise any claim without the consent of the other which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Subject to clause (a) of this paragraph (iv), if an Indemnifying Party notifies the related Indemnitee in writing of such
Indemnifying Party’s desire to settle or compromise a Third Party Claim on the basis set forth in such notice (provided that such settlement or compromise includes as an unconditional terms thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff of a
written release of the Indemnitee from all liability in respect thereof) and the Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing that such Indemnitee declines to accept any such settlement or compromise, such Indemnitee may continue to
contest such Third Party Claim, free of any anticipation by such Indemnifying Party, at such Indemnitee sole expense. In such event, the obligation of such Indemnifying Party to such Indemnitee with respect to such Third Party Claim shall be equal
to (1) the costs and expenses of such Indemnitee prior to the date such Indemnifying Party notifies such Indemnitee of the offer to settle or compromise (to the extent such costs and expenses are otherwise indemnifiable hereunder) plus (2) the
lesser of (x) the amount of any offer of settlement or compromise which such Indemnitee declined to accept and (y) the actual out-of-pocket amount such Indemnitee is obligated to pay subsequent to such date as a result of such Indemnitee continuing
to pursue such Third Party Claim. 
  
 (v) In the
event of payment by an Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of
which such Indemnitee may have any right or claim relating to such Third Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third Party Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such indemnifying Party in a
reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right or claim. 
  

 33 







 (b) Other Procedures for Indemnification 
  
 (i) Any claim on account of a Loss which does not result
from a Third Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnitee to the related Indemnifying Party, in no event later than the second anniversary of the date of this Agreement. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of
thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30) day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have refused to accept responsibility to
make payment. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 30 day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such party under this Agreement or under
applicable law. 
  
 (ii) If the amount of any
Loss shall, at any time subsequent to the payment required by this Agreement, be reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise, the amount of such reduction, less any expenses incurred in connection therewith, shall promptly be repaid by the
Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party. 
  
 13.6 Remedies
Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Article 13 shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by an Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party. 
  
 13.7 Survival of Indemnification. The agreement contained in
this Article 13 shall survive the withdrawal of any Member from the JVC and any termination or dissolution of the JVC; provided, however, in no event shall any Member be liable for any liability or obligation incurred by the JVC following such
Member’s withdrawal, termination or dissolution. 
  
 ARTICLE 14: TRANSFERS OF JVC INTERESTS AND BUY-SELL 
  
 14.1 General. Neither Member shall Transfer all or any part of its interest in the JVC (its “JVC Interest”) to any Person (including any Affiliates) without the prior written consent of the other
Member, other than pursuant to and in compliance with the requirements of Section 14.2 and either 14.3, 14.4 or 14.5 or the requirements of Articles 14A or 14C. 
  

14.2 General Restrictions on Transfer. Any Transfer of a JVC Interest permitted by this Agreement shall be subject to the following restriction:

  
 The transferee shall have executed and
delivered to the JVC an instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the JVC confirming that such transferee and its successors in interest are bound by and take such JVC Interest subject to all the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and all of the Related Agreements. 
  

 34 







 14.3 Buy-Sell Rights. 
  
 (a) If at any time either Member (the “Initiating Member”) determines either to terminate its
ownership of its JVC Interest or to purchase the JVC Interest of the other Member (the “Other Member”), the Initiating Member shall deliver to the Other Member a written offer (the “Buy-Sell Offer”) to purchase the JVC Interest
owned by the Other Member or to sell the JVC Interest owned by the Initiating Member to the Other Member. The purchase price contained in such Buy-Sell Offer shall be the same for both the purchase and the sale alternative (pro-rated according to
the proportions that Net Income is allocated in the event that the Members have unequal allocations of Net Income at the time of the Buy-Sell Offer and according to proportionate Capital Accounts in the event the Members have unequal Capital
Accounts at the time of the Buy-Sell Offer) and shall be payable in cash. On payment of the purchase price, the purchasing Member shall be entitled to all previously undistributed net income of the JVC to the date of the closing of the sale based on
the closing of the books of the JVC as of the date of the closing of the sale, with such books to be closed on a U.S. GAAP basis consistent with historical accounting practices and principles consistently used by the JVC. Notwithstanding Sections
14.3(a) and (b), in the event of an occurrence and continuance by a Member of a Default under this Agreement (as defined in Section 15.1), only the non-defaulting Member shall have the right to initiate a Buy-Sell Offer and may do so by requiring
the Defaulting Member to initiate a Buy-Sell Offer pursuant to this Section 14.3(a). The purchasing Member may cause an Affiliate to purchase the selling Member’s JVC Interest in order to perpetuate the JVC. 
  
 (b) The Other Member shall have 60 days after delivery of
the Buy-Sell Offer to notify the Initiating Member in writing which of the two alternatives the Other Member has determined to accept. If the Other Member fails to respond in writing to the Buy-Sell Offer within such 60-day period, the Initiating
Member shall then have the right to select which of the two alternatives it wishes to exercise. Such sale or purchase shall occur within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Other Member’s 60-day response period and shall occur at a
location mutually acceptable to the Members. 
  
 (c) If the selling Member has extended any indebtedness or lines of credit for borrowed money to the JVC, the remaining Member shall cause the JVC to repay such indebtedness (and any related obligations under any credit facility or other
related agreement) in full at the closing of the sale of the selling Member’s JVC Interest. If the selling Member has issued any guarantees benefiting the JVC or any of its obligations, the remaining Member shall cause the JVC to release the
selling Member from any further obligation or liability under such guarantees. 
  
 (d) In the event of a Default by a selling Member of its obligation to sell under the terms and conditions of this Section 14.3, the
purchasing Member may bring an enforcement action for specific performance pursuant to Section 18.2. Legal and transaction costs of the closing (but not purchase price or assumption or release of debt) shall be split equally between Initiating and
Selling Member. 
  
 (e) Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, no offer (whether 

  

 35 







 
written or oral) to sell its JVC Interest or purchase the other Member’s JVC Interest which is made by one Member to the other Member shall be deemed a
Buy-Sell Offer pursuant to this Section 14.3 unless such offer (i) includes the following statement in bold-faced type or underlined “THIS OFFER IS A BUY-SELL OFFER UNDER SECTION 14.3 OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED JOINT VENTURE AND LIMITED
LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT entered into as of June 25, 1997 as amended and restated as of April 1, 2003, BETWEEN SIEMENS VDO AUTOMOTIVE CORPORATION AND ORBITAL FLUID TECHNOLOGIES, INC. IF A RESPONSE IS NOT GIVEN WITHIN 60 DAYS IMPORTANT RIGHTS WILL
BE WAIVED”, (ii) is delivered to the appropriate address designated in Section 20.1 below (provided that only the methods of notice described in clauses (a) and (c) of such Section 20.1 shall be permissible for the transmission of a Buy-Sell
Offer) and (iii) contains both an offer to sell and an offer to buy. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be strictly construed and any offer by one party which satisfies one or two but not all three of the requirements
set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of such sentence shall be deemed not to be a Buy-Sell Offer. 
  
 14.4 Sale to Third Party. At any time, a Member may transfer its interest in the JVC to a non-Affiliated third party (the “Third Party”)
in accordance with the following terms: 
  
 (a)
So long it is not in breach of this Agreement, any Member, at its discretion, may solicit a written bona fide offer (“Bona Fide Offer”) from a Third Party to buy all, or any part, of its interest in the JVC. In the event that one Member
(the “Selling Member”) receives a Bona Fide Offer containing price and other material terms of a sale and wishes to transfer its interest to a Third Party, it must first offer in writing to the other Member (the “Other Member”)
for acquisition the entire proposed interest to be transferred. The Other Member shall have the right of first refusal to acquire such interest at a price and upon terms and conditions as favorable to the Other Member as those the Selling Member has
been offered and is willing to accept from the Third Party. 
  
 (i) If the Other Member does not exercise its right to acquire such interest of the Selling Member, the Selling Member is free to sell its JVC Interest to the Third Party, subject to the provisions of Section 14.2 and
14.4, but not for less than the purchase price offered to the Other Member and not on material terms more favorable than offered to the Other Member. 
  
 (ii) The offer must be made to the Other Member by first class mail, courier or telecopy; such offer may be accepted only in writing
delivered to the Selling Member within ninety (90) days after the sending of the offer. The offer must include all terms of the proposed transfer, including purchase price, payment terms and the identity (including beneficial ownership) of the Third
Party. If the Other Member exercises its right to acquire such interest, the transfer of the 
  

 36 







 
interest and payment of the purchase price must be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after acceptance, subject only to delays caused by
obtaining the requisite approvals of Governmental Authorities. 
  
 (iii) If the Other Member does not exercise its rights to acquire such interest of the Selling Member, they will be deemed to agree to the acquisition by a Third Party, provided that the requirements of Sections 14.2
and 14.4 of this Agreement are satisfied. 
  
 (iv) The transfer of the interest to the Third Party and payment of the purchase price must be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the ninety (90) day period set out in Section 14.4(a)(ii), subject only to delays caused by
obtaining the requisite approvals of Governmental Authorities, and the purchase price must be the same as or higher than that offered to the Other Member under Section 14.4(a)(ii) and the other material terms must be no more favorable than that
offered to the Other Member under Section 14.4(a)(ii). If the transfer is not completed within the one hundred eighty (180) day period, the Selling Member shall not be permitted to transfer and shall not transfer its interest to the third party
unless it first repeats its offer of such interest to the Other Parties in accordance with this Section 14.4. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding the first paragraph of Section 14.4, in the event of an occurrence and continuance of a Default by a Member, as set
out in Section 15.1, the non-Defaulting Member shall be permitted to exercise its rights under Section 14.4. 
  
 14.5 Transfer to Related Party. Subject to Section 14.2, a Member may at any time, upon consent of the other Member, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, Transfer all or part of its JVC Interest to any corporation, partnership or limited liability company one hundred percent of the voting stock or other equity interest of which is owned and controlled directly or indirectly by
the Member or the ultimate parent of the Member, provided, however, that the transferor Member shall remain responsible to the other Member for all of its duties and obligations hereunder and hereby guarantees the performance by its transferee of
all of such transferor Member’s duties and obligations under this Agreement, the Related Agreements and the Reorganization Agreements.

 17.2. Disclosure to Third Parties. Confidential Information shall not be disclosed by the Receiving Party, licensee or sublicensee except to such
employees, consultants or third parties who have been advised of the confidentiality thereof and the rights of the Disclosing Party and licensor therein, and who have agreed in writing to receive and maintain the same in confidence and use of such
Confidential Information owned by it, but not less than a reasonable degree of care. The Receiving Party may make a reasonable number of copies of such Confidential Information, provided that appropriate notices are placed and maintained thereon and
the practices and procedures are instituted and enforced as necessary to protect the confidentiality thereof. 
  
 17.3 Exemptions for Public Information etc.. The obligations above, and other relevant provisions of this Agreement and any Related Agreement with
respect to non-disclosure of Confidential Information, shall not extend to:

have been unable to agree upon such appointment within twenty (20) days from the conclusion of the negotiation period under the self-help provisions above. The parties agree to participate in good faith in the mediation and negotiations. 

 
 (b) If the parties are not successful in resolving the
dispute through self-help or mediation, or if a party refuses to refer the dispute to mediation prior to arbitration, then the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Either party may elect by written notice to the other party to submit
such dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with the Center for Public Resources’ Rules for Non-Administered

Arbitration of Business Disputes, by an impartial neutral arbitrator selected by the Center for Public Resources, or, if either party objects to such
selection of an arbitrator, by a panel of three impartial, neutral arbitrators, one selected by OFT, one selected by SVAC and the third by the two so selected. If any vacancy in the arbitration panel goes unfilled for more than thirty (30) days, the
Center for Public Resources shall select an arbitrator to fill such vacancy. The decision of the sole arbitrator, or of two of the three members of the arbitration panel, whichever is applicable, shall be binding on the parties. 
  
 (c) In the event of any mediation or arbitration with
respect to any disagreement, disputes, controversies or claims relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Related Agreements, such mediation or arbitration shall take place in the State of Delaware, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
The substantive and procedural law of the State of Delaware shall apply to the proceedings. Equitable remedies shall be available from the arbitrator(s) in any arbitration. Consequential, punitive, exemplary, indirect or similar damages shall not be
awarded by the arbitrator(s), although attorneys’ fees and the costs of arbitration may be assessed against either or both parties. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction.

 Amended and Restated JV and LLC Agreement 
  
 Annex 1 
  
 GROSS MARGIN APPORTIONMENT 
  
 Definition of Terms 
  

	1.	Gross Margin is the sum of 

  

	 	(a)	PRODUCT GROSS MARGIN 

  
 Net Serial Product Sales minus Product Material Costs and 
  

	 	(b)	ENGINEERING GROSS MARGIN 

  
 Engineering Revenues minus Engineering Costs 
  

	2.	Serial Product Sales 

  
 Serial sales of products delivered (but net of product returns), service sales, sales of customer-paid tooling, and piece-price amortization of
customer-paid tooling or R&D expenses, for those programs identified in the parties’ agreed Business Plans. 
  

	3.	Product Material Costs include: 

  

	 	(a)	Standard material cost of product sales, plus purchase price change, for delivery of serial production products and services, including inbound freight and duties, and foreign
exchange effects. Also included are the cost of sales associated with bundled license fees and customer-paid tooling. (The cost of customer-paid R&D is included in R&D costs). 

  

	 	(b)	Actual incurred and/or accrued costs of customer warranty provisions, including the write off of returns of defective products. 

  

	 	(c)	Actual incurred and/or accrued reserves for inventory losses or write-offs due to obsolescence (technical risk) and book-to-physical adjustments (quantity risk).


  

	 	(d)	Actual incurred and/or accrued outbound freight, duties, and transportation fees when the unit selling prices to the customer covers such costs. 

  

	 	(e)	Actual incurred and/or accrued scrap costs coming from losses during the manufacturing process 

  

	 	(f)	Royalty expenses tied to unit sales volume (e.g. Orbital Motorcycle DI License) 

  

	 	(g)	All other direct material variances to standard cost 

  

	 	(h)	Product Material costs specifically exclude depreciation of oil-pump equipment and amortization of tooling. 








	4.	Engineering Revenues 

  
 Revenues from customer paid-engineering contracts, sales of samples and prototypes, and any royalties or licensing income coming from the customer
programs identified in the parties’ respective Business Plans. Significant sources of unplanned revenues fro Synerject OLD are to be excluded from the apportionment calculation. 
  

	5.	Engineering Costs (“R&D Costs”) 

  

	 	(a)	Actual incurred or accrued material or purchased services in support of those projects identified in the parties’ respective Business Plans, including speculative product
development activities for those customers. 

  

	 	(b)	Actual incurred or accrued cost of engineering personnel in support of customer programs, including speculative product development activities. 

  
 For programs included in the Business Plan, the gross margin on M&R systems that include
products manufactured by Synerject will be counted on the basis of the ratio of the planned system profit markup % to the overall total planned markup%, utilizing planned internal transfer prices. 
  
 For programs not included in the Business Plan, Synerject management will propose to the
Board the treatment of gross margin for the business valuation. Typically, for manufactured products, an internal transfer price including a reasonable profit markup will be established.
