("Seller") and Galileo TopCo, Inc. The Acquisition, first announced on November 4, 2025, was completed for $800 million before closing adjustments, consisting of $450 million in cash and $350 million of Intuitive Machines, Inc. Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock").

In connection with the Acquisition, on January 13, 2026, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with Seller, pursuant to which Seller received certain registration rights, including the right to initiate up to three underwritten public offerings, and piggyback registration rights relating to the Stock Consideration.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified by the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

*Waiver, Consent, Amendment and Assignment Agreement of Orbital Receivables Purchase Facility* 

On January 13, 2026, in connection with closing of the Acquisition, Purchaser entered into a Waiver, Consent, Amendment and Assignment Agreement (the "Waiver, Consent, Amendment and Assignment Agreement"), with Lanteris Space LLC (a subsidiary of Lanteris), as seller and servicer, Vantor Parent Inc. (an affiliate of Seller), as assignor and existing guarantor and ING Belgium NV/SA ("ING"), pursuant to which Purchaser became a guarantor under the Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of December 1, 2023 (as amended by that certain Omnibus Amendment dated as of May 21, 2024 among Lanteris, Seller and ING, and as further amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Orbital Receivables Purchase Facility").

Pursuant to the Waiver, Consent, Amendment and Assignment Agreement, ING consented to the "Change of Control" of Lanteris Space LLC resulting from the Acquisition, consented to the assignment of the guarantee under the Orbital Receivables Purchase Facility to Purchaser, waived any and all Defaults or Events of Default resulting from such Change of Control and agreed that the Acquisition and resulting Change of Control will not constitute a Repurchase Event, and Vantor Parent Inc. assigned to Purchaser all of its rights, title and interest in and to, and obligations under the Orbital Receivables Purchase Facility (with all capitalized terms used in this paragraph having the meanings contained in the Orbital Receivables Purchase Facility).

Under the Orbital Receivables Purchase Facility, Lanteris may at any time during the term (through December 1, 2026), propose terms by which ING may purchase certain orbital payment receivables of Lanteris, which ING may decide, on a case-by-case basis, whether to accept. The maximum aggregate amount of receivables purchased or agreed to be purchased at any time under the Orbital Receivables Purchase Facility during its term is $250,000,000. If a customer prepays an orbital payment that has been purchased by ING, Lanteris Space LLC must provide ING with a "make-whole" payment pursuant to a net present value formula contained in the Orbital Receivables Purchase Facility.

The foregoing description of the Waiver, Consent, Amendment and Assignment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified by the full text of such agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

The foregoing description of the Stifel Waiver does not purport to be complete and is qualified by the full text of such agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

The information under "Explanatory Note" is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, in connection with closing, Purchaser paid the purchase consideration to the Seller consisting of (i) 22,991,028 newly issued shares of Common Stock valued at approximately $284 million in the aggregate (the "Stock Consideration"), and (ii) approximately $403 million in cash (the "Cash Consideration"), and in the case of the Cash Consideration, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Stock Consideration was issued based on an assumed value of $12.34 per share of Common Stock, representing the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the ten consecutive trading day period ended October 31, 2025, the last trading day prior to execution of the Purchase Agreement.

Subject to <u>Section</u> <u>2.6</u>, upon the demand of the Vantor Investor made at any time and from time to time, the Company will facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement an underwritten "takedown" of Registrable Securities off of an effective shelf registration statement. In connection with any underwritten shelf takedown (whether pursuant to the exercise of such demand rights or at the initiative of the Company or other stockholders of the Company and whether marketed or non-marketed), the Investors may exercise piggyback rights to have included in such takedown Registrable Securities held by them that are registered on such shelf.

Section 2.5 <u>Effective Registration</u>. The Company shall, with respect to each demand registration, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to remain effective for not less than 180 consecutive days (or such shorter period as shall terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement have ceased to be Registrable Securities), or if (i) such registration is a shelf registration on Form S-1 until such shelf registration is amended or replaced by a shelf registration on Form S-3 (or such shorter period as shall terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement have ceased to be Registrable Securities) or (ii) such registration statement relates to an underwritten offering, such longer period as, in the opinion of counsel for the underwriter or underwriters, a prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer.

Section 2.6 <u>Limitations on Demand and Piggyback Rights</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Any demand for the filing of a registration statement or for a registered offering or takedown will be subject to (i) the constraints of the Purchase Agreement Lock-Up, (ii) the constraints of any applicable "lock-up" arrangement that is still in effect with the underwriters of

------

any previous offering that has not been waived by the underwriters party thereto, and such demand must be deferred until such "lock-up" arrangements no longer apply and (iii) the notice and other obligations to holders of piggyback registration rights under the Existing Registration Rights Agreement. If a demand has been made for a non-shelf registered offering or for an underwritten shelf takedown, no further demands may be made so long as the related offering is still being pursued. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Investors will not have piggyback or other registration rights with respect to registered primary offerings by the Company covered by a Form S-8 registration statement or a successor form applicable to employee benefit-related offers and sales, where the securities are not being sold for cash, including any such offering covered by a Form S-4 or where the offering is a bona fide offering of securities other than Common Stock, even if such securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If the Board of the Company determines in its good faith judgement that such registration or offering could materially interfere with a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Company or is reasonably likely to require premature disclosure of information, the premature disclosure of which could materially and adversely affect the Company (in each case, a "<u>Valid Business Reason</u>"), the Company may postpone the filing (but not the preparation) of a demanded registration statement or suspend the effectiveness of any shelf registration statement, or defer initiating the process for a demanded shelf takedown, in each case, for a reasonable "blackout period" until five (5) business days after such Valid Business Reason no longer exists, but in no event for more than sixty (60) days after the date the Board determines a Valid Business Reason exists and not more than twice in any consecutive twelve (12) month period, If the Company determines to postpone the filing of a demanded registration statement, suspend the effectiveness of a shelf registration statement, or defer initiating the process for a demanded shelf takedown pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>2.6(b)</u>, the Company shall give prompt written notice to the Vantor Investor and the other Investors who have Registrable Securities registered pursuant to such shelf registration statement, as applicable (which notice shall notify the applicable Investors only of the occurrence of such an event and shall provide no additional information regarding such event to the extent such information would constitute material non-public information).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Vantor Investor shall not demand more than three (3) underwritten public offerings in total, whether pursuant to a non-shelf registration statement pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>2.1</u> or an underwritten shelf takedown pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>2.4</u> or a combination thereof, whether pursuant to a non-shelf registration statement pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>2.1</u> or an underwritten shelf takedown pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>2.4</u> or a combination thereof. The Vantor Investor shall not demand an underwritten public offering unless the aggregate offering price to public of all Registrable Securities included in such offering is the lesser of (a) $75,000,000 and (b) the market value of the Vantor Investor's remaining Registrable Securities. No demanded underwritten public offering shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this <u>Section</u> <u>2.6(c)</u> if the registration statement related thereto (i) does not become effective, (ii) is not maintained effective for the period required pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>2</u>, or (iii) the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement is subject to a stop order, injunction or similar order or requirement of the SEC during such period.

Section 2.7 <u>Notifications Regarding</u> <u>Demanded Offerings</u>. In order for the Vantor Investor to exercise its right to demand that a registration statement be filed or that an underwritten

------

shelf takedown occur, the Vantor Investor must so notify the Company and the other Investors in writing, indicating the number of Registrable Securities sought to be registered or taken down and the proposed plan of distribution.

Section 2.8 <u>Notifications Regarding Non-Shelf Registered Offering and</u> <u>Underwritten Shelf Takedown Piggyback Rights</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Company will keep the Investors contemporaneously apprised of all pertinent aspects of any contemplated non-shelf registered offering or underwritten shelf takedown, as applicable, under this Agreement, in order that they may have a reasonable opportunity to exercise their related piggyback rights during the applicable notice period. Without limiting the Company's obligation as described in the preceding sentence (it being understood that the specific notice periods described in this sentence shall not limit the Company's obligation to keep the Investors contemporaneously apprised of all pertinent aspects of any such offering in advance of such notice period), the Investors shall be notified by the Company in writing (i) of an anticipated non-shelf registered offering (whether pursuant to a demand made by the Vantor Investor or other stockholders of the Company or made at the Company's own initiative) no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth trading day prior to the date on which the preliminary prospectus intended to be used in connection with pre-pricing marketing efforts for such non-shelf registered offering is finalized and (ii) of an anticipated underwritten takedown (whether pursuant to a demand made by the Vantor Investor or other stockholders of the Company or made at the Company's own initiative) no later than 5:00 pm, New York City time, on (A) in the case of a marketed underwritten takedown, the third trading day prior to the date on which the preliminary prospectus or prospectus supplement intended to be used in connection with pre-pricing marketing efforts for such takedown is finalized, and (B) in the case of a non-marketed underwritten takedown, the second trading day prior to the date on which the pricing of the relevant takedown is expected to occur.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any Investor wishing to exercise its piggyback rights with respect to a non-shelf registered offering or an underwritten shelf takedown must notify the Company and the other Investors of the number of Registrable Securities it seeks to have included in such non-shelf registered offering or underwritten shelf takedown, as applicable. Such notice must be given in writing (i) in the case of a non-shelf registered offering, no later than 5:00 pm, New York City time, on the second trading day prior to, if applicable, the date on which the preliminary prospectus or prospectus supplement intended to be used in connection with pre-pricing marketing efforts for the relevant offering is expected to be finalized and (ii) in the case of an underwritten shelf takedown (whether marketed or non-marketed)) no later than 5:00 pm, New York City time, on the trading day prior to the date on which the pricing of the relevant offering is expected to occur.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Pending any required public disclosure and subject to applicable legal requirements, the parties hereto will maintain appropriate confidentiality of their discussions regarding a prospective underwritten takedown.

Section 2.9 <u>Plan of Distribution, Underwriters and Counsel</u>. The plan of distribution for any underwritten offering shall be determined, and the managing underwriter(s) for such offering shall be selected, (i) by the Vantor Investor or (ii) in the event that a majority of the Shares proposed to be sold in such offering is being sold by the Company for its own account, by the

------

Company, in the case of clause (i), in reasonable consultation with the Company and in the case of clause (ii), in reasonable consultation with the Investors. In the case of a shelf registration statement, the plan of distribution will provide as much flexibility as is reasonably possible, including with respect to resales by transferee Investors.

Section 2.10 <u>Cutbacks</u>. If the managing underwriters advise the Company and the selling Investors that, in their opinion, the number of Shares requested to be included in an underwritten offering exceeds the amount that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the distribution of the Shares being offered, such offering will include only the number of Shares that the underwriters advise can be sold in such offering. In a demand offering initiated by the Vantor Investor, the Vantor Investor shall have first priority over any other Person participating in the offering (including the Company) and to the extent of any remaining capacity, any other selling Investors shall be subject to cutback *pro rata* based on the number of Registrable Securities beneficially owned by the applicable Investor as a percentage of the total amount of Registrable Securities beneficially owned by all Investors. In the case of an offering initiated by a request by Persons other than the Investors (including under the Existing Registration Rights Agreement), such requesting persons shall have first priority and the Investors shall have second priority and be subject to cutback *pro rata* based on the number of Registrable Securities beneficially owned by the applicable Investor as a percentage of the total amount of Registrable Securities beneficially owned by all Investors. In the case of an offering initiated by the Company for its own account, the Company shall have first priority over any other Person participating in the offering, the holders of piggyback registration rights under the Existing Registration Rights Agreement shall have second priority, and the Investors shall have third priority and be subject to cutback *pro rata* based on the number of Registrable Securities beneficially owned by the applicable Investor as a percentage of the total amount of Registrable Securities beneficially owned by all Investors.

Section 2.11 <u>Withdrawals</u>. Even if Registrable Securities held by an Investor have been part of a registered underwritten offering, such Investor may, no later than the time at which the public offering price and underwriters' discount are determined with the managing underwriter, decline to sell all or any portion of the Registrable Securities being offered for its account.

Section 2.12 <u>Lockups</u>. In connection with any underwritten offering of Registrable Securities, to the extent requested by the managing underwriter for such underwritten offering, the Company and each holder of Registrable Securities shall agree (in the case of any Investor, with respect to the Shares held by such Investor) to be bound by customary "lock-up" restrictions contained in the underwriting agreement that are agreed to by the Company, if a majority of the Shares being sold in such offering are being sold for its account or the Vantor Investor if a majority of the Shares being sold in such offering are being sold by Investors, and that are not longer than 90 days and otherwise not more restrictive than those applicable to the Vantor Investor (it being understood that the foregoing shall bind all Investors in the same manner). The Company shall cause its executive officers and its directors to enter into lock-up agreements that contain restrictions that are no less restrictive than the restrictions contained in the lock-up agreements executed by the holders of Registrable Securities.

Section 2.13 <u>Expenses</u>. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration statement or registered offering covering Registrable Securities held by Investors will be borne by the Company. However, underwriters', brokers' and dealers' discounts and

------

commissions applicable to Shares sold for the account of an Investor will be borne by such Investor.

Section 2.14 <u>Facilitating Registrations and Offerings</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If the Company becomes obligated under this Agreement to facilitate a registration and offering of Registrable Securities on behalf of Investors, the Company will do so with the same degree of care and dispatch as would reasonably be expected in the case of a registration and offering by the Company of Shares for its own account. Without limiting this general obligation, the Company will fulfill its specific obligations as described in this <u>Section</u> <u>2.14</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In connection with each registration statement that is demanded by the Vantor Investor in accordance with this <u>Article II</u> or as to which piggyback rights otherwise apply, the Company will:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement (or registration statements) covering the applicable Registrable Securities, file amendments thereto as warranted, seek the effectiveness thereof, and file with the SEC prospectuses and prospectus supplements as may be required, all in consultation with the Investors and as reasonably necessary in order to permit the offer and sale of the such Registrable Securities in accordance with the applicable plan of distribution;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) within a reasonable time prior to the filing of any registration statement, any prospectus, any amendment to a registration statement, amendment or supplement to a prospectus or any free writing prospectus, provide copies of such documents to the selling Investors and to the underwriter or underwriters of an underwritten offering, if applicable, and to their respective counsel; fairly consider such reasonable changes in any such documents prior to or after the filing thereof as the counsel to the Investors or the underwriter or the underwriters may request; and make such of the representatives of the Company as shall be reasonably requested by the selling Investors or any underwriter available for discussion of such documents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) furnish counsel for each underwriter, if any, and counsel for the Investors copies of any correspondence with the SEC or any state securities authority relating to the registration statement or prospectus;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) otherwise use all commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including making available to its security holders an earnings statement covering at least 12 months which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar provision then in force);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement at the earliest possible time; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Shares covered by a registration statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of such registration statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In connection with any non-shelf registered offering or shelf takedown that is demanded by the Vantor Investor or as to which piggyback rights otherwise apply, the Company will:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) cooperate with the selling Investors and the sole underwriter or managing underwriter of an underwritten offering of Shares, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Shares to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and enable such Shares to be in such denominations (consistent with the provisions of the governing documents thereof) and registered in such names as the selling Investors or the sole underwriter or managing underwriter of an underwritten offering of Shares, if any, may reasonably request at least five days prior to any sale of such Shares;

arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or contained in any preliminary prospectus, if used prior to the effective date of such registration statement, or in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have filed with the SEC any amendment or supplement to the final prospectus), or which arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission (if so used) to state a material fact required to be stated in such prospectus or necessary to make the statements in such prospectus not misleading; and will reimburse each such holder and each such underwriter and each such Controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, or liability; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any such holder or its underwriters or Controlling persons in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement or such amendment or supplement or other document, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company through a written instrument duly executed by holders of Registrable Securities or such underwriter specifically for use in the preparation of the information with respect to such holder or such underwriter required under Items 403 and 507 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

Section 3.2 <u>Indemnification by the Holders</u>. Each holder of Registrable Securities (as to itself, severally and not jointly) will indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in <u>Section</u> <u>3.1</u>) the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who shall sign the registration statement, and any Person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from such registration statement, or any amendment or supplement to it, or any issuer free writing prospectus or other document, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company through a written instrument duly executed by such holder specifically regarding such holder expressly for use in the preparation of the information with respect to such holder required under Items 403 and 507 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act; provided that the aggregate liability of each holder pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>3.2</u> shall be limited to the amount of net proceeds after underwriting discounts and commissions received by such holder upon the sale of Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

Section 3.3 <u>Notices of Claims, Etc</u><u>.</u> Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in the preceding subsections of this <u>Article III</u>, the indemnified party will, if a resulting claim is to be made or may be made against any indemnifying party, give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of the action. The failure of any indemnified party to give notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations in this <u>Article III</u>, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by the failure to give notice. If any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense of the action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume defense of the action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses incurred by the latter in connection with the action's defense. An indemnified party shall

------

have the right to employ separate counsel in any action or proceeding and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at such indemnified party's expense unless the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, which authorization shall not be unreasonably withheld, the indemnifying party has not assumed the defense and employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party within 30 days after notice of any such action or proceeding, or the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party), it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to all local counsel which is necessary, in the good faith opinion of both counsel for the indemnifying party and counsel for the indemnified party in order to adequately represent the indemnified parties) for the indemnified party and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred upon written request and presentation of invoices. Whether or not a defense is assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). No indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term the giving by the claimant or plaintiff, to the indemnified party, of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation or involves the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition of any non-financial obligations on the indemnified party.

Section 3.4 <u>Contribution</u>. If the indemnification required by this <u>Article III</u> from the indemnifying party is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any indemnifiable losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefit of the indemnifying and indemnified parties and if the allocation in clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefit referred to in clause (i) and also the relative fault of the indemnified and indemnifying parties, in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by a party shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it bear to the total amounts (including, in the case of any underwriter, any underwriting commissions and discounts) received by each other party. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or parties, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damage, liabilities, and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or

------

proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>3.4</u> were determined by *pro rata* allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this <u>Section</u> <u>3.4</u>. Notwithstanding the provisions of this <u>Section</u> <u>3.4</u>, in connection with any registration statement filed by the Company, no holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the gross proceeds (less underwriting discounts and commissions) received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation less any amount paid by such holders pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>3.2</u>. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such a fraudulent misrepresentation.

Section 3.5 <u>Non-Exclusivity</u>. The obligations of the parties under this Article III will be in addition to any liability which any party may otherwise have to any other party.

**ARTICLE IV** 

**<u>OTHER</u>**

Except as provided in the preceding sentence, no action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation, any investigation by or on behalf of any party, will be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any covenants or agreements contained herein.

This WAIVER, CONSENT, AMENDMENT AND ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of January 13, 2026 (this "<u>Agreement</u>"), among LANTERIS SPACE LLC (f/k/a Maxar Space, LLC), a Delaware limited liability company as seller and as servicer (the "<u>Seller</u>"), VANTOR PARENT INC.

Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings given to such terms in the A&R RPA (as defined below).

**<u>RECITALS</u>**

**WHEREAS**, reference is made to the Amended and Restated Limited Recourse Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2023 (as amended by that certain Omnibus Amendment dated as of May 21, 2024 among the Seller, the Assignor Guarantor and the Purchaser, and as further amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "<u>A&R RPA</u>"), among, *inter alios*, the Seller, the Assignor Guarantor, ING Bank, N.V., a credit institution formed under the laws of the Netherlands, and the Purchaser;

**WHEREAS**, pursuant to that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 3, 2025, by and among (i) Intuitive Machines, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (ii) the Assignee Guarantor, (iii) Vantor Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation, (iv) Galileo Topco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and (v) Lanteris Space Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, pursuant to which, among other things, the Assignee Guarantor will, directly or indirectly, acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity of Seller in accordance with the terms thereof (the "<u>Proposed Transaction</u>");

**WHEREAS**, the Proposed Transaction constitutes a Change of Control with respect to the Seller, pursuant to the terms of the A&R RPA;

**WHEREAS**, pursuant to the terms of the A&R RPA, a Change of Control with respect to the Seller constitutes an Event of Default and a Repurchase Event under the A&R RPA;

**WHEREAS**, the Seller and the Assignor Guarantor request that the Purchaser provide its consent to the Proposed Transaction and to such Change of Control, and waive any and all Defaults, Events of Default and/or Repurchase Events resulting from such Change of Control (collectively, the "<u>Specified Defaults</u>") pursuant to the terms of the A&R RPA, and the Purchaser wishes to provide its consent and waiver thereto;

**WHEREAS**, the Assignor Guarantor wishes to assign to the Assignee Guarantor all of the Assignor Guarantor's rights, title and interest in and to, and obligations (collectively, the "<u>Assigned Interest</u>") under the A&R RPA, the Guarantee and all other Transaction Documents to which the Assignor Guarantor is a party as of the date hereof (collectively, the "<u>Assigned Agreements</u>"), and the Assignee Guarantor wishes to assume from the Assignor Guarantor the Assignor Guarantor's Assigned Interest (the "<u>Assignment</u>");

------

**WHEREAS**, the Seller, the Assignor Guarantor and the Assignee Guarantor request that the Purchaser provide its consent to the Assignment;

**WHEREAS**, the Purchaser is willing to consent to the foregoing requests of the Seller, the Assignor Guarantor and the Assignee Guarantor subject to the terms herein; and

**WHEREAS**, the Parties (other than the Assignor Guarantor) wish to further amend the A&R RPA as provided herein.

**NOW, THEREFORE**, in consideration of the foregoing and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the parties agree as follows:

**Section 1. *Consent and Waiver***.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Purchaser hereby (i) consents to (x) the Proposed Transaction and the Change of Control relating
to the Seller in connection therewith and (y) the Assignment, (ii) waives the Specified Defaults, and (iii) agrees the Proposed Transaction and resulting Change of Control of Seller shall not constitute a Repurchase Event under the
A&R RPA. The consents and waiver of the Purchaser under this Section 1 are referred to herein as this "Consent and Waiver."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) This Consent and Waiver is granted subject to the following conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Purchaser shall have received from each of the Parties hereto a counterpart of this Agreement duly executed
and delivered on behalf of such Party; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Purchaser shall have received a customary secretary's certificate of the Assignee Guarantor
certifying resolutions or other action authorizing its entry into this Agreement and the related Transaction Documents, its organizational documents, incumbency and such other matters as the Purchaser may reasonably request relating to the
organization, existence and good standing of the Assignee Guarantor and any other legal matters relating to the Assignee Guarantor, the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

**Section 2. *Assignment***. Effective as of the date hereof:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Assignor Guarantor hereby assigns and transfers to the Assignee Guarantor, and the Assignee Guarantor
hereby accepts and assumes from the Assignor Guarantor, all of the Assigned Interest. Such sale, assignment and transfer is without recourse and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, without representation or warranty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) (i) the Assignee Guarantor shall be a party to the Assigned Agreements and shall have the same rights and
obligations of the Assignor Guarantor thereunder and the Assignee Guarantor agrees, for the benefit of the Assignor Guarantor, Seller and the Purchaser (as applicable), that the Assignee Guarantor will, from and after the date hereof, perform,
observe and be bound by all of the obligations applicable to the Assignor Guarantor under the Assigned Agreements and (ii) the Assignor Guarantor shall relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Assigned Agreements;
and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) each reference to "Guarantor" (or any other reference purporting to apply to the Assignor
Guarantor) in each of the Assigned Agreements shall be deemed to be a reference to the Assignee Guarantor.

**Section 3. *Amendment***.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The following is added to Subsection 5.2 [ *Servicing Procedures* ] of the A&R RPA as the new
subparagraph (e) thereof:

"Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Servicer agrees that, from and after March 31, 2026 through the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, the Servicer shall maintain a minimum balance of $4,000,000.00 (or such other lesser amount as instructed by the Purchaser from time to time in its sole discretion) (the "<u>Deposit Amount</u>") in the Pledged Account with account number 4451879747 (the "<u>US Pledged Account</u>") at all times. The Deposit Amount shall be held in the US Pledged Account for the account of the Seller and shall be repaid to the Seller upon termination of this Agreement."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Subsection 8.1(d) [ *Seller and Guarantor Events of Default* ] of the A&R RPA is deleted in its entirety
and replaced with the following:

If either of the Seller or the Guarantor, or both, fail to observe or perform any term, covenant or agreement herein or under a Transaction Document to which it is a party on its part to be observed or performed including, in the case of the Guarantor, the Guarantee, and, if such failure is capable of being remedied, such failure remains unremedied for thirty (30) days after such failure to observe or perform, except in the event of the failure by the Servicer to transfer amounts in accordance with Section 3.3, Section 5.2(a) and Section 5.2(e) (as applicable), in which case such failure remains unremedied for five (5) Business Days.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3 and the amendment to the A&R RPA contemplated thereby, will
come into effect after consummation of the Assignment and will only apply to the Parties other than the Assignor Guarantor.

**Section 4. *Governing Law***. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

**Section 5. *Severability***. ****Any provisions of this Agreement that are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

------

**Section 6. *Counterparts***. This Agreement may be signed by the parties hereto on separate counterpart pages, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one instrument.

**Section 7. *Headings***. Section headings in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.

**Section 8. *Reference to and Effect on the Transaction Documents***.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, on and after the date hereof, each reference in the A&R RPA or
the Guarantee, as applicable, to (i) "this Agreement," "this Guarantee," "hereunder," "hereof," "herein" and words of like import, and (ii) such words or words of like import in each
reference in the other Transaction Documents, shall mean and be a reference to the A&R RPA, the Guarantee or any other Transaction Document, as applicable, as amended hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Except as specifically amended hereby, all of the terms and provisions of the A&R RPA or the Guarantee, as
applicable, and the other Transaction Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Agreement shall not, except as expressly provided herein,
operate as an amendment to any right, power or remedy of the Purchaser under any of the Transaction Documents, or constitute an amendment to any provision of any of the Transaction Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) This Agreement shall, upon becoming effective, be deemed to be a Transaction Document for all purposes.

Intuitive Machines Completes Acquisition of Lanteris Space Systems

*The acquisition positions Intuitive Machines to be a vertically integrated next-generation* 

*space prime contractor for commercial, civil and national security space initiatives.* 

**HOUSTON, TX – January 13, 2026 –** Intuitive Machines, Inc. (Nasdaq: LUNR) ("Intuitive Machines") or the ("Company"), a leading space technology, infrastructure, and services company, has completed its acquisition of Lanteris Space Systems ("Lanteris"), formerly Maxar Space Systems, a proven spacecraft manufacturer with an exceptional record of delivering a highly reliable family of spacecraft for national security, civil, and commercial customers. The acquisition, first announced on November 4, 2025, was completed for $800 million before closing adjustments, consisting of $450 million in cash and $350 million in Intuitive Machines Class A common stock.

"This acquisition marks a defining moment in the evolution of Intuitive Machines," said Intuitive Machines CEO, Steve Altemus. "We previously proved our ability to operate on the Moon. With Lanteris, we add flight-proven manufacturing at scale. Together, these strengths transform Intuitive Machines into a multi-domain, end-to-end solutions provider that can build spacecraft, connect resilient communications and navigation networks, and operate systems across LEO, MEO, GEO and cislunar space."

Lanteris LEO, MEO and GEO satellites support missile warning and tracking, tactical intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, Earth observation, and space domain awareness. Leveraging rapid design and efficient manufacturing, Lanteris is built to deliver with speed, innovation and has a record of proven success in space.

The acquisition aligns with the Intuitive Machines vision, strengthening the Company's position as a vertically integrated next generation space prime that is able to build, connect, and operate end-to-end mission solutions unique to the marketplace today.

Chris Johnson, who will continue as President of Lanteris Space Systems said, "if we could have chosen the best outcome for Lanteris over the past few years, this is exactly what we would have envisioned, and we're excited for the future."

With the closing of this transaction, Intuitive Machines strengthens its ability to service future Golden Dome, Space Development Agency layered architecture, and NASA's Artemis and Lunar Terrain Vehicle initiatives, as well as future Mars telecommunications missions.
