***PIF Private Placement & Uber Private Placement***

On April 14, 2026, Lucid Group, Inc. ("***Lucid***" or the "***Company***") announced that (i) Lucid's majority stockholder, Ayar Third Investment Company ("***Ayar***"), an affiliate of the Public Investment Fund ("***PIF***"), has agreed to purchase $550 million of Lucid's Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "***Convertible Preferred Stock***"), in a private placement (the "***PIF Private Placement***"); and (ii) SMB Holding Corporation ("***SMB***"), a subsidiary of Uber Technologies, Inc. ("***Uber***"), has agreed to purchase $200 million of Lucid's Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "***Common Stock***"), in a private placement (the "***Uber Private Placement***") in connection with the Second VPA (as defined below), further deepening the relationship between Lucid and Uber.

The PIF Private Placement was made pursuant to a subscription agreement, dated April 14, 2026 (the "***PIF Subscription Agreement***"), between Lucid and Ayar. The Uber Private Placement was made pursuant to a subscription agreement, dated April 14, 2026 (the "***Uber Subscription Agreement***," together with the PIF Subscription Agreement, the "***Subscription Agreements***"), between Lucid and SMB.

The PIF Private Placement is expected to close no later than the 10th business day following the date of the PIF Subscription Agreement and is subject to customary closing conditions. The Uber Private Placement is expected to close on or around April 15, 2026 and is subject to customary closing conditions.

Pursuant to the PIF Subscription Agreement, Ayar has agreed, with certain exceptions, that without the prior written consent of the Company, it will not, for 12 months after the date of the closing of the PIF Private Placement, directly or indirectly transfer any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock or any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the terms thereof. Subject to certain exceptions, SMB may not transfer the shares of Common Stock acquired under the Uber Subscription Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company for a period of 18 months after the closing of the Uber Private Placement.

The shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be sold to Ayar and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof will be subject to the Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of February 22, 2021, by and among the Company, Ayar, and the other parties thereto, as amended from time to time (the "***Investor Rights Agreement***"), which governs the registration for resale of such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and Common Stock. In connection with the PIF Private Placement, the Company will enter into an amendment to the Investor Rights Agreement (the "***Seventh IRA Amendment***") with Ayar. Pursuant to the Seventh IRA Amendment, Ayar will be entitled to certain registration rights, including piggy-back and shelf registration rights, with respect to the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock issued in the PIF Private Placement and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof. SMB is also entitled to certain registration rights, including piggy-back and shelf registration rights, with respect to the shares of Common Stock issued in the Uber Private Placement. The Subscription Agreements also contain customary representations, warranties and covenants.

***Uber Vehicle Production Agreement***

On April 14, 2026, Uber and Lucid entered into a Second Vehicle Production Agreement (the "***Second VPA***") under which Uber and its designated fleet operators have agreed to purchase a minimum commitment of 25,000 (the "***Minimum Quantity Guarantee***") Lucid Midsize vehicles for use as robotaxis that have been modified to include certain autonomous driving hardware and other features (the "***Lucid Midsize Plus vehicles***") over a six-year period following the start of production. Start of production of Lucid Midsize Plus vehicles is targeted to occur in late 2028.

Pursuant to the offset provisions under the Vehicle Production Agreement (the "***First VPA***") Lucid and Uber entered into on July 16, 2025, the Minimum Quantity Guarantee increased the aggregate number of Lucid Gravity Plus (as defined therein) and Lucid Midsize Plus vehicles Uber is committed to purchase to 35,000 units. As provided in the Second VPA, the Minimum Quantity Guarantee is conditioned on Lucid's ability to (i) meet certain volume and other requirements and specifications with respect to the Lucid Midsize Plus vehicles, including continued production of the base Lucid Midsize vehicles, meeting certain quality thresholds, and timely fulfillment of orders for the Lucid Midsize Plus vehicles, and (ii), for non-U.S. purchases, obtain and maintain applicable permits, licenses, or approvals. The Second VPA also contains customary representations, warranties and covenants.

***Designation of the Convertible Preferred Stock***

<u>Ranking and Dividend</u>

The Convertible Preferred Stock will rank senior to the Common Stock with respect to dividends and distributions of assets upon the Company's liquidation, dissolution or winding up. The Convertible Preferred Stock will have an initial value of $10,000 per share (the "***Initial Value***"). Dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock will be payable in the form of compounded dividends upon each share of Convertible Preferred Stock (such payment in kind, "***Compounded Returns***"). Dividends will accrue on the Initial Value (as increased for any Compounded Returns previously compounded thereon) of each share of Convertible Preferred Stock at a rate of 9% per annum and will compound on the basis of quarterly dividend payment dates on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing June 30, 2026.

<u>Liquidation Preference</u>

Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, each holder of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock ("***Holder***") will be entitled to receive, with respect to each share of then-outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders (pari passu with the holders of any liquidation parity securities) an amount in cash equal to the greater of (a) an amount per share of Convertible Preferred Stock as of the date of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up equal to (i) the per share accrued value (as used herein, representing the Initial Value, plus any Compounded Returns, plus accrued dividends from the last dividend payment date to, and including, the relevant date of determination) (the "***Accrued Value***") as of the relevant date (as defined in the Certificate of Designations of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the "***Certificate of Designations***")) multiplied by (ii) the relevant percentage (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) (the product of (i) and (ii), the "***Minimum Consideration***"); and (b) the amount that such Holder would have received with respect to such share of Convertible Preferred Stock based on its Accrued Value if all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted at their Accrued Value (regardless of whether they were actually converted and without regard to any limitations on convertibility or to whether sufficient shares of Common Stock are available out of the Company's authorized but unissued stock for the purpose of effecting such conversion) into shares of Common Stock on the business day immediately prior to the date of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

<u>Conversion</u>

Each share of Convertible Preferred Stock will be convertible, at the option of the respective Holder, from time to time after the initial issue date (the "***Initial Issue Date***"), and without the payment of additional consideration by the Holder, (a) at any time that the closing price per share of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Holder delivers the relevant notice of conversion is at least such price as is specified in the Certificate of Designations, unless the Company otherwise consents to such conversion in its sole discretion, or (b) in all events during certain specified periods relating to a fundamental change or optional redemption by the Company, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (i) the applicable Accrued Value as of the conversion date by (ii) the applicable Conversion Price in effect as of such conversion date.

<u>Voting</u>

Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designations or by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Company's securities are listed, on any matter presented to the stockholders of the Company for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders and on which matter holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to vote, each Holder will be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the aggregate shares of Convertible Preferred Stock held by such Holder are convertible on the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter (subject to certain adjustments, but without regard to any limitations on convertibility or to whether sufficient shares of Common Stock are available out of the Company's authorized but unissued stock for the purpose of effecting the conversion). Holders will be entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders and, except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designations or otherwise required by law, to vote together as a single class with the holders of Common Stock and any other class or series of stock entitled to vote thereon. The total voting power of Holders is subject to a voting cap (the "***Voting Cap***") equal to 19.99% of the voting power outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Issue Date, minus the voting power of the Common Stock issued in any offerings that would be integrated with the PIF Private Placement under the listing rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("***Nasdaq***"). The Voting Cap can be removed by a subsequent stockholder approval, which the Company expects to seek.

As long as at least 10% of the aggregate number of shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock issued on the Initial Issue Date remain outstanding, and subject to certain other conditions, Holders will be entitled to a separate class vote with respect to, among other things, amendments to the Company's organizational documents that have an adverse effect on the Convertible Preferred Stock, authorizations or issuances by the Company of capital stock of the Company that ranks senior or equal to the Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to dividends or distributions on liquidation or the terms of which provide for cash dividends (other than the Common Stock), winding-up and dissolution, and decreases in the number of authorized shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company also agreed that as long as Ayar owns at least 50% of the Convertible Preferred Stock issued on the Initial Issue Date, the Company will comply with certain debt incurrence covenants in its Existing Credit Agreements (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), which agreement may be waived with the sole consent of Ayar.

<u>Junior and Parity Securities</u>

Subject to certain exceptions, unless all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock for all preceding quarterly dividend payment periods have been declared upon all outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock through the most recently completed dividend period, the Company (1) may not repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire shares of any parity stock or any junior stock (which includes the Common Stock), (2) may not declare or pay dividends on any junior stock (which includes the Common Stock) and (3) may not declare or pay dividends on any parity stock, unless the respective amounts of dividends declared on the Convertible Preferred Stock and each such other class or series of dividend parity stock bear the same ratio to each other as all accumulated and unpaid dividends per share of the Convertible Preferred Stock and such class or series of parity stock (subject to their having been declared by the Board of Directors (the "***Board***") of the Company out of legally available funds) bear to each other, in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences at the time of declaration.

<u>Mandatory Conversion</u>

On or after the third anniversary of the Initial Issue Date, if at any time (i) the daily VWAP (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) of the Common Stock has been at least 200% of the Conversion Price for at least twenty (20) trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any thirty (30) consecutive trading days (including the last day of such period) and (ii) certain Common Stock liquidity conditions (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) are satisfied, the Company will have the right, exercisable at its election within fifteen (15) business days following completion of the applicable thirty (30) trading day period, to cause all or any portion of the Convertible Preferred Stock to convert into Common Stock. The Company will be required to pay an additional amount per share of Convertible Preferred Stock payable in cash, shares of Common Stock valued based on a five-day average daily VWAP (with the number of shares of Common Stock rounded up to the nearest whole share) or a combination thereof, at the Company's election, in respect of such conversion equal to the greater of (x) the difference between (i) the Minimum Consideration and (ii) the value of the shares of Common Stock delivered upon mandatory conversion thereof and (y) zero.

<u>Fundamental Change</u>

Upon a "fundamental change" (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), the Holders will be entitled, on the fundamental change repurchase date specified by the Company, to receive an amount equal to the greater of (a) the Minimum Consideration and (b) an amount equal to the value that such Holder would have received if it had converted its shares of Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock on the business day immediately before the fundamental change repurchase date. The fundamental change repurchase price may be paid in cash, shares of Common Stock (or other securities to be received by a holder of Common Stock in such Fundamental Change) valued based on a five-day average daily VWAP (with the number of shares of Common Stock rounded up to the nearest whole share), or a combination thereof, at the Company's election. The Company may not elect to deliver shares of its Common Stock (or other securities to be received by a holder of Common Stock in such Fundamental Change) in partial or full satisfaction of the fundamental change repurchase price, if certain Common Stock liquidity conditions (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) are not satisfied.

<u>Optional Redemption</u>

On or after the fifth anniversary of the Initial Issue Date, the Company may redeem all or any portion of the Convertible Preferred Stock at a redemption price per share equal to the greater of (a) the Minimum Consideration and (b) an amount equal to the value (calculated based on a twenty (20)-day average daily VWAP) of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion at the Conversion Price on such redemption date. Such redemption price may be paid in cash, shares of Common Stock valued based on a twenty (20)-day average daily VWAP (with the number of shares of Common Stock rounded up to the nearest whole share), or a combination thereof, at the Company's election. The Company may not pay any portion of such redemption price in shares of Common Stock if the Common Stock liquidity conditions (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) are not satisfied.

<u>Nasdaq Rules</u>

The Certificate of Designations will provide that the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion, redemption or repurchase of the Convertible Preferred Stock will be limited as required by applicable Nasdaq listing rules, which limitation is expected to be reached upon issuance of the Convertible Preferred Stock, and any shares of Common Stock that would have been deliverable but are not delivered due to such limitation will be settled in cash, unless the Company shall have obtained any required stockholder approval. Lucid and Ayar have agreed to cooperate reasonably to obtain, and Ayar has agreed to consent in respect of such stockholder approval no later than 18 months following the closing of the PIF Private Placement. The Convertible Preferred Stock will be initially convertible into approximately 50.85 million shares of Common Stock and/or cash equivalent.

<u>Remedies for Nonpayment</u>

The Certificate of Designations will provide that the dividend rate described above will be increased to a rate not exceeding 15% per annum upon certain events of noncompliance relating to a failure by the Company to deliver consideration due in connection with a fundamental change or optional redemption.

***DDTL Amendment***

As previously announced by Lucid, on August 4, 2024, Lucid entered into a credit agreement providing for an unsecured delayed draw term loan facility (the "***DDTL Facility***") in an aggregate principal amount of $750 million with Ayar, as the sole lender, and as administrative agent thereunder. On November 4, 2025, the Company and Ayar increased the aggregate delayed draw term commitment under the DDTL Facility to approximately $2 billion, of which $500 million was borrowed on April 1, 2026. The final maturity date of the DDTL Facility is August 4, 2029.

On April 14, 2026, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement (the "***DDTL Amendment***"), pursuant to which the aggregate undrawn delayed draw term commitments were increased by $500 million, such that, after giving effect to such increase, the sum of outstanding delayed draw term loans and aggregate undrawn delayed draw term commitments was increased to approximately $2.5 billion.

The DDTL Amendment, among other things, eliminated the minimum liquidity covenant and removed the requirement that the Company fully utilize the borrowing availability under the ABL Credit Agreement (as defined therein) prior to making borrowings under the DDTL Facility.

The DDTL Facility includes customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. In addition, the Company is required to pay a quarterly undrawn fee at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum on the total amount of the unused commitments of the DDTL Facility.

The foregoing descriptions of the terms of the Subscription Agreements, Second VPA and DDTL Amendment are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of such agreements, which are filed as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2, Exhibit 10.3 and Exhibit 10.4, respectively, hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing descriptions of the form of Seventh IRA Amendment and the form of Certificate of Designations do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the form of Seventh IRA Amendment and the form of Certificate of Designations, which are included in the PIF Subscription Agreement that is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and to the final Certificate of Designations, which will be filed with a subsequent Current Report on Form 8-K.

**Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.**

The information contained in Item 1.01 under the caption "PIF Private Placement & Uber Private Placement" of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.

Pursuant to the PIF Subscription Agreement, Ayar agreed to purchase from Lucid 55,000 shares of its Convertible Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the Uber Subscription Agreement, SMB agreed to purchase from Lucid 24,038,462 shares of Common Stock.

The Convertible Preferred Stock will be convertible into the Company's Common Stock, and initially convertible into approximately 50.85 million shares of Common Stock and/or cash equivalent in the aggregate (approximately 15% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Stock as of today's date and prior to the issuance of shares of Common Stock in connection with the Uber Private Placement), at an initial conversion price of $10.8160 per share (the "***Conversion Price***"). The Conversion Price is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, including in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar events.

The shares of Convertible Preferred Stock sold to Ayar pursuant to the PIF Subscription Agreement will be issued pursuant to a Certificate of Designations to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on or before the closing of the PIF Private Placement. The shares of Convertible Preferred Stock sold to Ayar in the PIF Private Placement and the shares of Common Stock sold to SMB in the Uber Private Placement will be sold in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.

The net proceeds from the PIF Private Placement will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, capital expenditures and working capital. Lucid intends to use the net proceeds from the Uber Private Placement toward design and development of the Lucid Midsize Plus vehicles.

**Item 8.01 Other Events.**

***Preliminary Financial Results***

Although our financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 are not yet finalized, we estimate that our financial results will fall within the following ranges.

|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Quarter Ended<br> March 31, 2026** | **Quarter Ended<br> March 31, 2026** |

| **Balance Sheet Data:** |  |  |
| Cash and cash equivalents (at end of period) | $700356 | $700356 |
| Long-term debt (at end of period) | $2047844 | $2047844 |

---

As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately $3.16 billion of total liquidity, consisting of (i) approximately $714.0 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investment balances, (ii) approximately $1.98 billion available under our DDTL Facility, (iii) approximately $468.4 million available under our ABL Credit Facility and (iv) approximately $2.3 million available under our GIB Credit Facility. Availability under our ABL Credit Facility is subject to the value of eligible assets in the borrowing base.

The foregoing estimates are preliminary as the Company is in the process of completing its closing procedures for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The preliminary estimates are based solely upon information available to the Company as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K and actual results may differ from these estimates subject to the completion of the Company's quarter-end closing procedures, final adjustments and developments that may arise between now and the time the financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 are finalized. Investors should refer to the actual results included in the Company's financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 once it becomes available upon filing of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The Company's independent registered public accounting firm has not reviewed or performed any procedures with respect to these preliminary estimates and, accordingly, does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance about them.

As previously announced, during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company produced 5,500 vehicles and delivered 3,093 vehicles. The Company also reaffirmed its previously shared production guidance of 25,000-27,000 vehicles.

On April 3, 2026, the Company reduced contractor headcount at its AMP-1 facility to improve cost efficiency. This will not result in a material change to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp and similar issuance or transfer taxes ("**Tax**") due on (x) the issuance of the Purchased Shares and, upon conversion or exercise of any Purchased Shares, the issuance of any Underlying Shares to the beneficial owner of such Purchased Shares immediately prior to such conversion. However, in the case of the issuance of any Underlying Shares, the Company shall not be required to pay any Tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of Underlying Shares to a beneficial owner other than the beneficial owner of the Purchased Shares being converted immediately prior to such conversion, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such Tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such Tax has been paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each of the Company and the Investor agree that (i) the Convertible Preferred Stock is intended to be treated as stock that is not "preferred stock" within the meaning of Section 305 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and applicable Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and (ii) it will not take any positions or actions inconsistent with such treatment (including in tax filings) unless otherwise required following an audit in which the foregoing treatment was diligently defended.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company shall notify the Investor on or about the beginning of each taxable year of the Company during which the Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding (and at such other times as reasonably requested by the Investor) regarding whether the Company is then projected to have current or accumulated "earnings and profits" ("**E&P**") within the meaning of Section 316 of the Code with respect to such taxable year and, in the event current or accumulated E&P is projected for such taxable year, will provide the Investor with an estimate of E&P for such taxable year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall have the right to (i) reduce the amount of any dividend reflected as an increase in Accrued Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), (ii) deduct and withhold from any payment or distribution (whether in cash or otherwise) made with respect to the Convertible Preferred Stock (or the issuance of Underlying Shares upon conversion of any Convertible Preferred Stock, or upon a redemption or repurchase of such stock by the Company), and (iii) deduct and withhold in connection with any adjustment to the conversion rate of the Convertible Preferred Stock, in each case, such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld with respect to such increase in Accrued Value, payment, distribution, issuance, or adjustment under any applicable tax Law, provided that the Company shall use good faith efforts to reduce any such withholding by applying any applicable exemptions, adjustments or procedures, including without limitation the procedures of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-3(c)(2) regarding withholding based on reasonable estimates of accumulated or current earnings and profits. If the Company is required to withhold or otherwise remit any taxes with respect to an Investor under applicable tax law (and after using good faith efforts to reduce any such withholding by applying any applicable exemptions, adjustments or procedures, including without limitation the procedures of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-3(c)(2) regarding withholding based on reasonable estimates of accumulated or current earnings and profits) in connection with an increase in Accrued Value, an adjustment to the conversion rate of the Convertible Preferred Stock or other deemed distribution, it may reduce the amount of any dividend reflected as an increase in Accrued Value, or deduct and withhold the required amount from actual payments of dividends or any other amount payable on the Convertible Preferred Stock (including any payment of Common Stock in connection with a conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock). To the extent that any amounts are so reduced, deducted or withheld as described in this Section 5.04(d), such reduced, deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such reduction, deduction or withholding was made. In the event the Company previously remitted any amounts to a Governmental Authority on account of taxes required to be deducted or withheld in respect of any payment or distribution (or deemed distribution) on any Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company shall be entitled to effect any such amounts against any amounts otherwise payable in respect of such stock (or the issuance of Underlying Shares upon conversion of any Convertible Preferred Stock, or upon a redemption or repurchase of such stock by the Company).

The shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the close of business on the Conversion Date (prior to the close of business on the Conversion Date, the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be outstanding, or deemed to be outstanding, for any purpose and Holders shall have no rights, powers, preferences or privileges with respect to such Common Stock by virtue of holding Series C Convertible Preferred Stock). To effect conversions of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock in certificated form, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing the shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock to the Corporation unless all of the shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock represented thereby are so converted, in which case such Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock promptly following the Conversion Date at issue. Conversions of less than the total amount of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock represented by a certificate held by the Holder will have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock held by such Holder by an amount equal to the number of such shares so converted, as if the original stock certificate(s) were cancelled and one or more new stock certificates evidencing the new number of shares of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock were issued; <u>provided</u>, <u>however,</u> that in such cases the Holder may request that the Corporation deliver to the Holder a certificate representing such non-converted shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock; <u>provided</u>, <u>further,</u> that the failure of the Corporation to deliver such new certificate shall not affect the rights of the Holder to submit a further Notice of Conversion with respect to such Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and, in any such case, the Holder shall be deemed to have submitted the original of such new certificate at the time that it submits such further Notice of Conversion. To effect the conversion of shares of any Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, Holders must comply with the applicable procedures established from time to time by the Transfer Agent and, in the case of Global Preferred Shares, The Depository Trust Company (The Depository Trust Company or any successor thereto, "**DTC**"). Not later than 10:00 am (New York City time) on the second Trading Day after each Conversion Date if shares are to be delivered in book-entry form or within five (5) Business Days otherwise (or, if later, the Trading Day after the Holder has paid in full any applicable transfer taxes and duties) (the "**Share Delivery Date**"), the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered (through the facilities of DTC and the Transfer Agent or in certificated form, as applicable), to the converting Holder the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such shares of Common Stock are not delivered to the applicable Holder or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Corporation in accordance with **Section 13** at any time on or before its receipt of such shares of Common Stock, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to the Holder any original Series C Convertible Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Corporation and the Holder shall promptly return to the Corporation the shares of Common Stock issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Notice of Conversion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) All shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided (but subject to the last sentence of **Section 7.3(a)**) shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall immediately cease and terminate at the time of conversion, except only the right of the Holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor based on the Accrued Value as of such date as determined in accordance with this Certificate of Designations. Any shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and canceled and shall not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation (without the need for stockholder action) may from time to time take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock accordingly and restore such shares to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.4 <u>Limitation on Conversion Rights</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Ownership Limitation</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, no shares of Common Stock will be issued or delivered upon any proposed conversion, redemption or repurchase of any Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of any Holder thereof, and no Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of any Holder thereof will be convertible, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such issuance, delivery, conversion or convertibility would cause such Holder to become, directly or indirectly, a Beneficial Owner of a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. For these purposes, beneficial ownership and calculations of percentage ownership will be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. For purposes of this **Section 7.4** only, a Person shall be deemed the "**Beneficial Owner**" of and shall be deemed to beneficially own any shares Common Stock that such Person or any of such person's affiliates (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) or associates (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) is deemed to beneficially own, together with any Common Stock beneficially owned by any other persons whose beneficial ownership would be aggregated with such Person for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Subject to the following *proviso,* for purposes of this **Section 7.4** only, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder as in effect on the date hereof; <u>provided</u> that the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates and associates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership would be aggregated with such Person for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of any of the Corporation's securities or rights to acquire the Common Stock, whether or not such securities or rights are currently exercisable or convertible or are exercisable or convertible only after the passage of time (including the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock in respect of which the beneficial ownership determination is being made), but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted portion of any Series C Convertible Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Person or any of its affiliates or associates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership would be aggregated with such Person for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any of the Corporation's other securities subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by such Person or any of its affiliates or associates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership would be aggregated with such Person for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For the avoidance of doubt, the term "Beneficial Owner" as used in this **Section 7.4** shall not include (i) with respect to any Global Preferred Share, the nominee of the depositary for such Global Preferred Share or any Person having an account with such depositary or its nominee or (ii) with respect to any certificated Share, the Holder of such certificated Share unless, in each case, such nominee, account holder or Holder shall also be a Beneficial Owner of such Share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Conversions Void</u>. Any purported conversion (and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock) will be void and have no effect to the extent, but only to the extent, that such conversion and delivery would result in any Holder becoming the Beneficial Owner of shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. For the avoidance of doubt, a Holder or the Corporation, as the case may be, may effect a conversion up to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, subject to the other requirements of this Certificate of Designations applicable to such conversion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Proceeds on Conversion</u>. Except as otherwise provided herein, if any consideration otherwise due upon the proposed conversion of any shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to a conversion is not delivered as a result of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Corporation's obligation to deliver such consideration will not be extinguished, and the Corporation will deliver such consideration (and the relevant shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall be deemed converted) in accordance with the provisions under **Section 7.3** or **Section 8**, as the case may be, on or as promptly as practicable after the date sixty-one (61) days after the earlier of (A) the applicable Holder giving notice to the Corporation (i) that after such delivery, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation would not be exceeded or (ii) requesting such delivery, or (B) the 90th day following the proposed Conversion Date. A Holder will provide evidence as soon as reasonably practicable after its Beneficial Ownership is such that additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock may be delivered without causing such Holder's Beneficial Ownership to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Requisite Stockholder Approval</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable per share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock upon conversion, redemption or repurchase of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall not exceed the Conversion Share Cap unless the Corporation shall have obtained the Requisite Stockholder Approval.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Effect of Conversion Limitations</u>. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the limitations under this **Section 7.4** shall apply in respect of all deliveries of Common Stock hereunder, including optional conversions pursuant to **Section 7** hereof, Mandatory Conversions pursuant to **Section 8** hereof (including in fulfillment of any additional amount due pursuant to the proviso to **Section 8.1**), in respect of any portion of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price due in respect of a Fundamental Change pursuant to **Section 9** hereof and in respect of any portion of the Redemption Price due in respect of an Optional Redemption pursuant to **Section 10** hereof and (ii) until the consideration due upon the optional conversion, Mandatory Conversion, Fundamental Change Repurchase or Optional Redemption of any shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock that would have been delivered but for this **Section 7.4** is delivered, such Shares shall be deemed not to have been converted, redeemed or repurchased, as the case may be; <u>however,</u> (A) with respect to conversion restricted by **Section 7.4(a)**, dividends shall cease to accumulate thereon on the proposed Conversion Date, Redemption Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as the case may be, and the consideration ultimately paid out in respect thereof shall not be increased to take into account any dividends on or after the proposed Conversion Date, Redemption Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as the case may be, and (B) with respect to conversion restricted by **Section 7.4(d)**, the Common Stock consideration due upon the optional conversion, Mandatory Conversion, Fundamental Change Repurchase or Optional Redemption of any shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock that would have been delivered but for this **Section 7.4(d)** shall be payable solely in cash in an amount equal to (x) the number of such shares of Common Stock that would have been delivered but were not actually delivered as a result of **Section 7.4(d)** multiplied by (y) the then applicable Relevant Price; <u>provided</u>, that, for the avoidance of doubt, this clause (B) shall no longer apply after the Corporation has obtained the Requisite Stockholder Approval.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.5 <u>Reservation of Stock</u>. The Corporation shall, at all times when any shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Capital Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, for each share of then outstanding Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion thereof pursuant to **Section 7.1** based on the then applicable Conversion Price (taking into account any adjustment to such number of shares so issuable in accordance with **Section 7.7** hereof), determined by assuming (x) initially, Compounded Returns through the June 30, 2029 Dividend Payment Date and (y) prior to the start of each successive three-year period commencing on June 30, 2029, Compounded Returns for the next three-year period following the preceding one; <u>provided,</u> that in no event shall the Corporation be required to reserve Common Stock in excess of its authorized Common Stock. In the event that any such reservation of shares shall be determined by the Corporation to be insufficient in light of the circumstances, the Corporation shall promptly adjust such reservation amount. In the event that the Corporation would be required to reserve Common Stock in excess of its authorized Common Stock, the Corporation will use its best efforts to increase its number of authorized shares of Common Stock as necessary to satisfy its obligations under this Certificate of Designations as promptly as reasonably practicable. The Corporation shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable Law or governmental regulation and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any requirements of any securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may be listed (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Corporation upon each such issuance). The Corporation shall not close its books against the transfer of any of its Capital Stock in any manner which would prevent the timely conversion of the shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6 <u>No Charge or Payment</u>. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Certificate of Designations shall be made without payment of additional consideration by, or other charge, cost or tax to, the Holder in respect thereof. The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Certificate of Designations. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.7 <u>Adjustment to Conversion Price and Number of Conversion Shares</u>. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Corporation if any of the following events occurs, except that the Corporation shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Price if Holders of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock participate (other than in the case of (x) a share split or share combination or (y) a tender or exchange offer), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock and solely as a result of holding the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, in any of the transactions described in **Sections 7.7(a)**, **(b)**, **(c)**, **(d)** or **(e)**, without having to convert their Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the number of Shares held by such Holder are then convertible pursuant to **Section 7.1** (without regard to any limitations on conversion).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Subdivisions, Combinations and Stock Dividends</u>. If the Corporation exclusively issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of the Common Stock, or if the Corporation effects a share split or share combination (in each case excluding an issuance solely pursuant to a Reorganization Event, as to which the provisions of **Section 7.7(f)** shall apply), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

![](tm2611666d2_exta-img01.jpg)

where,

CP<sub>0</sub> = the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the Effective Date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;

CP' = the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date or immediately after the open of business on such Effective Date, as applicable;

OS<sub>0</sub> = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date or immediately prior to the open of business on such Effective Date, as applicable (before giving effect to any such dividend, distribution, split or combination); and

OS' = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.

Any adjustment made under this **Section 7.7(a)** shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the Effective Date for such share split or share combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this **Section 7.7(a)** is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Rights Offerings</u>. If the Corporation distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants (other than rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, as to which **Section 7.7(c)** shall apply) entitling them, for a period of not more than sixty (60) calendar days after the announcement date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the arithmetic average of the Daily VWAPs of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such distribution, the Conversion Price shall be decreased based on the following formula:

![](tm2611666d2_exta-img02.jpg)

where,

CP<sub>0</sub> = the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution;

CP' = the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date;

OS<sub>0</sub> = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date;

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| X | = | the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and |

---

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| Y | = | the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, *divided by* the arithmetic average of the Daily VWAPs of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the distribution of such rights, options or warrants. |

---

Any decrease made under this **Section 7.7(b)** shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are distributed and shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution. To the extent that shares of the Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants (including as a result of such rights, options or warrants not being exercised), the Conversion Price shall be increased to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the decrease with respect to the distribution of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Price shall be increased to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such Record Date for such distribution had not occurred.

For purposes of this **Section 7.7(b)**, in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at less than such arithmetic average of the Daily VWAPs of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such distribution, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Corporation for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Corporation in good faith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Distributed Property; Spin-Offs</u>. If the Corporation distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Corporation or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding (i) dividends, distributions, rights, options or warrants as to which an adjustment was effected (or would be required without regard to **Section 7.7(j)**) pursuant to **Section 7.7(a)** or **Section 7.7(b)**, (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which the provisions set forth in **Section 7.7(d)** shall apply, (iii) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this **Section 7.7(c)** shall apply, (iv) except as otherwise described in **Section 7.7(g)**, rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan and (v) a distribution solely pursuant to a Reorganization Event, as to which the provisions of **Section 7.7(1)** shall apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities, the "**Distributed Property**"), then the Conversion Price shall be decreased based on the following formula:

![](tm2611666d2_exta-img03.jpg)

where,

CP<sub>0</sub> = the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution;

CP' = the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date;

SP<sub>0</sub> = the arithmetic average of the Daily VWAPs of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and

FMV = the fair market value (as determined by the Corporation in good faith) of the Distributed Property with respect to each outstanding share of the Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Any decrease made under the portion of this **Section 7.7(c)** above shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution. To the extent such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall be increased to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the distribution, if any, actually made or paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if "FMV" (as defined above) is equal to or greater than "SP<sub>0</sub>" (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing decrease, each Holder of a Share shall receive, in respect of each such Share, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock receive the Distributed Property, the amount and kind of Distributed Property such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock that such Share would have been convertible into at the Conversion Price in effect on the Record Date for the distribution. If the Corporation in good faith determines the "FMV" (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this **Section 7.7(c)** by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, it shall in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Daily VWAPs of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

If the Corporation distributes or dividends shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Corporation to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to (x) a Reorganization Event, as to which the provisions of **Section 7.7(f)** shall apply; or (y) a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of the Common Stock, as to which the provisions of **Section 7.7(e)** shall apply), and such Capital Stock or equity interests are listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation of the transaction) on a U.S. national securities exchange (a "**Spin-Off**"), then the Conversion Price shall be decreased based on the following formula:

![](tm2611666d2_exta-img04.jpg)

where,

CP<sub>0</sub> = the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period;

CP' = the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the end of the Valuation Period;

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| FMV<sub>0</sub> | = | the product of (x) the arithmetic average of the Daily VWAPs per share or unit of the Capital Stock or equity interests distributed to holders of the Common Stock (determined by reference to the definitions of Daily VWAP, Trading Day and Market Disruption Event as if references therein to Common Stock (or its securities exchange ticker) were instead references to such Capital Stock or similar equity interests (or its securities exchange ticker)) over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the "**Valuation Period**"); and (y) the number of shares or units of such Capital Stock or equity interests distributed per share of Common Stock in such Spin-Off; and |

---

MP<sub>0</sub> = the arithmetic average of the Daily VWAPs of the Common Stock for each Trading Day in the Valuation Period.

The decrease to the Conversion Price under the preceding paragraph shall occur at the close of business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period; <u>provided</u> that in respect of any conversion of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, if the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the Valuation Period, references to "10" in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off to, and including, the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Price for such conversion. To the extent any dividend or distribution of the type described above in this **Section 7.7(c)** is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Price will be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Cash Dividends</u>. If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

![](tm2611666d2_exta-img05.jpg)

where,

CP<sub>0</sub> = the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;

CP' = the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;

SP<sub>0</sub> = the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| C | = | the amount in cash per share the Corporation distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock. |

---

Any decrease pursuant to this **Section 7.7(d)** shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution. To the extent such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Conversion Price shall be increased, effective as of the date the Board determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if "C" (as defined above) is equal to or greater than "SPo" (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Share shall receive, in respect of each such Share, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock that such Share would have been convertible into at the Conversion Price in effect on the Record Date for the distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Tender and Exchange Offers</u>. If the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to an odd-lot tender offer pursuant to Rule 13e-4(h)(5) under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule)), to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock (determined as of the expiration time of such offer by the Corporation in good faith) exceeds the Closing Price per share of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), then the Conversion Price shall be decreased based on the following formula:

![](tm2611666d2_exta-img06.jpg)

where,

CP<sub>0</sub> = the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

CP' = the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| AC | = | the aggregate value, as of the time such tender or exchange offer expires, of all cash and other consideration paid for shares of Common Stock purchased or exchanged in such tender or exchange offer (such aggregate value to be determined, other than with respect to cash, by the Corporation in good faith); |

---

OS<sub>0</sub> = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the time such tender or exchange offer expires (including all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);

OS' = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the time such tender or exchange offer expires (excluding all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and

SP' = the arithmetic average of the Daily VWAPs of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

The decrease to the Conversion Price under this **Section 7.7(e)** shall occur at the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; <u>provided</u> that in respect of any conversion of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, if the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date of any tender or exchange offer, references to "10" or "10th" in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date that such tender or exchange offer expires to, and including, the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Price for such conversion.

To the extent such tender or exchange offer is announced but not consummated (including as a result of being precluded from consummating such tender or exchange offer under applicable law), or any purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer are rescinded, the Conversion Price will be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock, if any, actually made, and not rescinded, in such tender or exchange offer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Adjustment for Reorganization Events</u>. If there shall occur any:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than (x) changes solely resulting from a subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, (y) a change only in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value or (z) stock splits and stock combinations that do not involve the issuance of any other series or class of securities);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) consolidation, merger, combination or binding or statutory share exchange involving the Corporation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) other similar event,

in each case, as a result of which, the Common Stock is converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities, cash or other property, or any combination of the foregoing (a "**Reorganization Event**"), then following any such Reorganization Event, each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding and be convertible into the number, kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a Holder would have received in such Reorganization Event had such Holder converted its shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock into the applicable number of shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the effective date of the Reorganization Event using the Conversion Price applicable immediately prior to the effective date of such Reorganization Event (the "**Reference Property**"); and, in such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this **Section 7.7** with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holders, to the end that the provisions set forth in this **Section 7.7** (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Conversion Price, to the extent the Reference Property consists of property other than cash and the Holders do not participate, on an as-converted basis, in applicable events with respect thereto) and **Section 9** shall thereafter be applicable in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. The Corporation (or any successor thereto) shall, no later than the Business Day after the effective date of such Reorganization Event, provide written notice to the Holders of such occurrence of such event and of the kind and amount of the cash, securities or other property that each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock will be convertible into under this **Section 7.7(f)**. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the operation of this **Section 7.7(f)**. The Corporation shall not enter into any agreement for a transaction constituting a Reorganization Event unless (i) such agreement provides for, or does not interfere with or prevent (as applicable), conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock in a manner that is consistent with and gives effect to this **Section 7.7(f)** and (ii) to the extent that the Corporation is not the surviving corporation in such Reorganization Event or will be dissolved in connection with such Reorganization Event, proper provision shall be made (as determined by the Corporation in good faith) in the agreements governing such Reorganization Event for the conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock into the Reference Property and the assumption by such Person of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designations.

If the Reorganization Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), then for the purposes of this **Section 7.7(f)**, the Reference Property into which the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration per share actually received by holders of Common Stock. The Corporation shall notify holders and the Transfer Agent of the weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>Stockholder Rights Plans</u>. If the Corporation has a stockholder rights plan in effect upon conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, each share of Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, and the certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any such stockholder rights plan, as the same may be amended from time to time. However, if, prior to any conversion of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights plan, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Corporation distributed to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock Distributed Property as provided in **Section 7.7(c)**, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) <u>Participating Dividends</u>. Without limitation of **Section 6.4**, in the event the Corporation shall make or issue, or, if earlier, fix a Record Date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or distribution of cash or property (other than Common Stock) the Corporation shall simultaneously declare and pay a dividend in cash or such other property on the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (each, a "**Participating Dividend**") on a pro rata basis with the Common Stock determined on an as-converted basis assuming all Series C Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding had been converted pursuant to **Section 7** (without regard to the limitations on convertibility set forth in the first sentence of **Section 7.1**, but subject to the other limitations set forth therein, including **Section 7.4(d)**) as of immediately prior to the Record Date of the applicable dividend (or if no Record Date is fixed, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock entitled to such dividends are to be determined).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Rounding; Par Value</u>. All calculations under **Section 7** shall be made to the nearest 1/10,000th of a cent or to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share, as the case may be (with 5/100,000ths rounded upward). No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall reduce the Conversion Price below the then par value of the Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) <u>Adjustment Deferral</u>. If an adjustment to the Conversion Price otherwise required by this Certificate of Designations would result in a change of less than one percent (1%) to the Conversion Price, then the Corporation may, at its election, defer such adjustment, except that all such deferred adjustments must be given effect immediately upon the earliest of the following: (1) when all such deferred adjustments would result in a change of at least one percent (1%) to the Conversion Price; (2) the Conversion Date of any share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock; (3) the effective date of any Fundamental Change; (4) the date of any Redemption Notice; (5) the date of any Mandatory Conversion Notice; and (6) the occurrence of any vote of the stockholders of the Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) <u>Certificate as to Adjustment</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Promptly following any adjustment of the Conversion Price, the Corporation shall furnish to each Holder at the address specified for such Holder in the books and records of the Corporation (or at such other address as may be provided to the Corporation in writing by such Holder, which may be an electronic mail address) a certificate of an officer of the Corporation setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Corporation of a written request by any Holder, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days thereafter, the Corporation shall furnish to such Holder a certificate of an officer of the Corporation certifying the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of Conversion Shares or the amount, if any, of other shares of stock, securities or assets then issuable to such Holder upon conversion of the shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock held by such Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) <u>Notices</u>. In the event that the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other Capital Stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, to vote at a meeting (or by written consent), to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of Capital Stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security, then, unless the Corporation has previously publicly announced such information (including through filing such information with the SEC), the Corporation shall send or cause to be sent to each at the address specified for such Holder in the books and records of the Corporation (or at such other address as may be provided to the Corporation in writing by such Holder, which may be an electronic mail address) at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the applicable record date, the record date for such dividend, distribution, meeting or consent or other right or action, and a description of such dividend, distribution or other right or action to be taken at such meeting or by written consent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) <u>Non-Circumvention</u>. For the avoidance of doubt, the adjustments provided in this **Section 7.7** may not result in the Holders exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or, until such time as the Requisite Stockholder Approval has been obtained, the Conversion Share Cap per share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Mandatory Conversion</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.1 <u>Mandatory Conversion Event.</u> On or after the third anniversary of the Initial Issue Date, if at any time (i) the Daily VWAP of the Common Stock has been at least 200% of the Conversion Price for at least twenty (20) Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during any thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days (including the last day of such period) and (ii) the Common Stock Liquidity Conditions are satisfied, then the Corporation shall have the right (the "**Mandatory Conversion Right**"), exercisable at its election, to cause all or any portion of the outstanding shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock to convert into Common Stock on the 10th Business Day following the delivery of the Mandatory Conversion Notice, at the effective applicable Conversion Price on such 10th Business Day in accordance with **Section 7** (such conversion, a "**Mandatory Conversion**"); <u>provided</u> that, the Corporation shall pay an additional amount per share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (payable in cash, shares of Common Stock valued based on the Relevant Price (with the number of shares of Common Stock rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock) or a combination thereof, at the Corporation's election) equal to the greater of (x) the difference between (i) the Minimum Consideration as of the Relevant Date and (ii) the value (based on the Relevant Price) of the shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon such Mandatory Conversion without regard to this proviso and (y) zero.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.2 <u>Procedural Requirements</u>. If the Corporation elects to exercise the Mandatory Conversion Right, all Holders of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock subject to such Mandatory Conversion shall be sent written notice of the Corporation's exercise of the Mandatory Conversion Right, the Mandatory Conversion Time, the calculation of any additional amount payable pursuant to the proviso to **Section 8.1** and the proportion of such additional amount to be paid in cash and the proportion to be paid in shares of Common Stock and the place designated for Mandatory Conversion of such shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this **Section 8.2** (such notice, the "**Mandatory Conversion Notice**") (including to or through DTC and the Transfer Agent, if applicable). The Corporation shall send such notice setting forth the details and time for such conversion (the time of such conversion, the "**Mandatory Conversion Time**", and the date of which shall constitute a Conversion Date in respect of the Mandatory Conversion) within fifteen (15) Business Days following the completion of the applicable thirty (30) Trading Day period referred to in **Section 8.1**. Prior to the Mandatory Conversion Time specified in the Mandatory Conversion Notice, each Holder shall surrender its certificate or certificates (if any) for all such shares (or, if such Holder alleges that any such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and bond of indemnity, if requested, in each case reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation) to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice (or comply with the applicable delivery procedures of the Transfer Agent and DTC, if applicable). If so required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the Holder or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. All rights with respect to the shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock converted pursuant to **Section 8.1**, including the rights to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Stock), will terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time (notwithstanding the failure of the Holder or Holders thereof to surrender the certificates at or prior to such time or comply with the applicable procedures of the Transfer Agent and DTC), except only the rights of the Holders thereof, upon surrender of their certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit) therefor or compliance with the applicable procedures of the Transfer Agent and DTC, as applicable, to receive the items provided for in the next sentence of this **Section 8.2**. As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion Time but no later than the Share Delivery Date, the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered (in certificated form or through the facilities of the Transfer Agent or DTC, as applicable), to the Holder, or to its nominees, the number of full shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this **Section 8.2** based on the Accrued Value as of such date as determined in accordance with this Certificate of Designations, together with any additional amount payable in cash or shares of Common Stock pursuant to the proviso to **Section 8.1**; <u>provided,</u> that notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Corporation elects to deliver shares of its Common Stock in satisfaction of any additional amount payable pursuant to **Section 8.1**, subject to the listing rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock may then be listed, the Corporation will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the relevant Holder such Common Stock by the Share Delivery Date but shall not be in breach of its obligation to deliver such Common Stock for any purposes hereunder until such time as the minimum notice required under such listing rules following determination of the number of shares deliverable shall have lapsed. Such converted Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock accordingly and restore such shares to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.3 <u>Partial Mandatory Conversion</u>. In the event that the Mandatory Conversion Right is exercised with respect to shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock representing less than all the shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding at such time, the shares to be converted shall be converted by the Corporation or the Transfer Agent on a pro rata basis based on the then-outstanding shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock or, if applicable, in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>Fundamental Change</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.1 <u>Offer to Repurchase</u>. In connection with any Fundamental Change, the Corporation shall make an offer to repurchase, at the option and election of the holder thereof, each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock then-outstanding (the "**Fundamental Change Repurchase Offer**") at a purchase price per Share (such amount being the "**Fundamental Change Repurchase Price**") equal to the greater of (x) the Minimum Consideration as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and (y) an amount equal to the value a Holder would have received if they had converted a Share into shares of Common Stock on the Business Day immediately before the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; <u>provided</u> that the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price may be paid in cash, shares of Common Stock (or other securities to be received by a holder of Common Stock in such Fundamental Change) valued based on the Relevant Price (with the number of shares of Common Stock rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock) or a combination thereof, at the Corporation's election; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u> that the Corporation may not elect to deliver shares of its Common Stock (or other securities to be received by a holder of Common Stock in such Fundamental Change) in partial or full satisfaction of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, as the case may be, if the Common Stock Liquidity Conditions are not satisfied (determined, in the case of other securities, by replacing references therein to "**Common Stock**" with "such securities")). The Fundamental Change Repurchase Offer must be made in the Fundamental Change Notice delivered pursuant to **Section 9.2** and shall become irrevocable from the date thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.2 <u>Notice of Repurchase</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Corporation shall provide notice of any repurchases offered by the Corporation under **Section 9.1** by delivering to the applicable Holder (including notice to or through DTC, if applicable) a written notice in accordance with **Section 9.2(b)** (the "**Fundamental Change Notice**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Fundamental Change Notice shall specify (i) the time and place of repurchase and the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (or the method of determination therefor, and an illustrative calculation of such amount as if the date of the Fundamental Change Notice were the Relevant Date), (ii) the Holder's Conversion Rights pursuant to **Section 7** hereof, and (iii) the proportion of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price the Corporation proposes to be paid in cash and the proportion to be paid in shares of Common Stock, and shall be delivered to each Holder at the address for such Holder last shown on the records of the Transfer Agent therefor (or such other address provided in writing by such Holder, which may be an electronic mail address), on or before the thirtieth (30th) calendar day prior to the effective date of a Fundamental Change (or if later, and subject to this **Section 9**, promptly after the Corporation discovers a Fundamental Change may occur). Promptly after the close of trading on the second Trading Day prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Corporation will deliver to the Holders a notice setting forth (x) the calculation of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and (y) the proportion of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price the Corporation to be paid in cash and the proportion to be paid in shares of Common Stock, which may only be changed from the proposed proportions set forth in the Fundamental Change Notice if there is a material difference between the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the illustrative calculation of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price set forth in the Fundamental Change Notice. The "**Fundamental Change Repurchase Date**" shall occur on the date of consummation of the Fundamental Change or, solely in the case of the Corporation discovering a Fundamental Change may occur following the thirtieth (30th) calendar day prior to the effective date thereof, if such notice is received by the holders of Series C Preferred Stock less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Change, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the consummation of such Fundamental Change (or, if later in the case of a Fundamental Change described in clause (a) of the definition thereof, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the date on which the Corporation shall discover the occurrence of such Fundamental Change).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.3 <u>Payment of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price</u>. If the funds of the Corporation legally available for the Fundamental Change Repurchase Offer by the Corporation pursuant to **Section 9.1** on any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date are insufficient to repurchase all shares of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock being repurchased by the Corporation on such date, those funds which are legally available will be used first to pay the cash portion of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, on a pro rata basis, to the Holders thereof based on the number of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock then held, for the maximum possible number of shares of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock being repurchased in accordance with the aggregate repurchase proceeds payable with respect to the shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock to be repurchased. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation or its acquirer, as applicable, become legally available for the repurchase of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, such funds will be used to redeem the balance of the shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock which the Corporation was theretofore obligated to repurchase as provided in the immediately preceding sentence. If the Corporation elects to deliver shares of its Common Stock (or other securities) in full or partial satisfaction of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price pursuant to **Section 9.1**, subject to the listing rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock (or such other securities) may then be listed, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the relevant Holder such Common Stock (or other securities) within two Business Days of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date but shall not be in breach of its obligation to deliver such Common Stock (or other securities) for any purposes hereunder until such time as the minimum notice required under such listing rules following determination of the number of shares (or other securities) deliverable shall have lapsed. Any shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for which is not satisfied as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date as a result of the circumstances described in this **Section 9.3** shall remain outstanding until such shares shall have been repurchased and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor, as applicable, shall have been paid or set aside for payment in full (and dividends shall continue to accrue on any such shares of Series C Preferred Stock that remain outstanding as set forth in **Section 11**).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.4 <u>Rights Terminated</u>. Upon (a) surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock being repurchased (or surrender of such shares in compliance with the procedures established by the Transfer Agent and DTC, if applicable) pursuant to this **Section 9** and delivery of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor or (b) irrevocable deposit in trust by the Corporation for Holders pursuant to this **Section 9** of an amount in cash and, if applicable a number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities) comprising the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for the shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock being repurchased on any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, each Holder will cease to have any rights as a stockholder of the Corporation by reason of the ownership of such repurchased shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (except for the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor upon the surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the repurchased shares or compliance with the procedures established by the Transfer Agent and DTC, if applicable, if such shares have not been so surrendered), and such repurchased shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock will not from and after the date of payment in full of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor be deemed to be outstanding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.5 <u>Withdrawal Right</u>. Each Holder shall retain the right to (a) convert shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock to be repurchased pursuant to this **Section 9** at any time on or prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or (b) withdraw a tender of such shares in the Fundamental Change Repurchase Offer on or prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; <u>provided</u> that, where a Holder exercises its rights under (a) or (b) above, the applicable shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of such Holder shall not be repurchased pursuant to this **Section 9**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.6 <u>No Requirement to Conduct an Offer to Repurchase Shares if the Fundamental Change Results in the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock Becoming Convertible into an Amount of Cash Exceeding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this **Section 9**, the Corporation will not be required to send a Fundamental Change Notice pursuant to **Section 9.2(a)**, or offer to repurchase or repurchase any Shares pursuant to this **Section 9**, in connection with a Reorganization Event that constitutes a Fundamental Change pursuant to clause (B)(b) of the definition thereof (regardless of whether such Reorganization Event also constitutes a Fundamental Change pursuant to any other clause of such definition), if (i) the Reference Property of such Reorganization Event consists entirely of cash in U.S. dollars; (ii) immediately after such Fundamental Change, the shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock become convertible, pursuant to **Section 7.7(f)**, into consideration that consists solely of U.S. dollars in an amount per Share that equals or exceeds the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price per Share; and (iii) the Corporation timely sends the notice relating to such Fundamental Change required pursuant to the first paragraph of **Section 7.7(f)**, and includes, in such notice, a statement that the Corporation is relying on this **Section 9.6**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.7 <u>Treatment of Existing Credit Agreements</u>. Notwithstanding anything in this Certificate of Designations to the contrary but subject to the terms set forth herein, the Corporation shall not pay, and shall not be required to pay, any Fundamental Change Repurchase Price unless either (i) the Obligations (as defined in the respective Existing Credit Agreements) under each of the Existing Credit Agreements (or equivalent term under any replacement thereof or similar facility) are fully satisfied prior to or simultaneously with such payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or (ii) any event of default or covenant breach under each of the Existing Credit Agreements (or any replacement thereof or similar facility) related to the occurrence of such Fundamental Change and resultant payment obligations hereunder has been duly waived pursuant to the terms of the respective Existing Credit Agreements (or any replacement thereof or similar facility). If the funds of the Corporation that may be paid pursuant to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Offer by the Corporation are limited pursuant to this **Section 9.7**, on any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, those funds which are otherwise available will be used first to pay the cash portion of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, on a pro rata basis, to the Holders thereof based on the number of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock then held, for the maximum possible number of shares of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock being repurchased in accordance with the aggregate repurchase proceeds payable with respect to the shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock to be repurchased. At any time thereafter when and to the extent that all Existing Credit Agreements (or any replacement thereof or similar facility) permit or do not prevent such payment or delivery, such funds will be used to repurchase the balance of the shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock which the Corporation was theretofore obligated to repurchase but for this **Section 9.7**. Any shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for which is not satisfied as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date as a result of the circumstances described in this **Section 9.7** shall remain outstanding until such shares shall have been repurchased and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor, as applicable, shall have been paid or set aside for payment in full (and dividends shall continue to accrue on any such shares of Series C Preferred Stock that remain outstanding as set forth in **Section 11**).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Optional Redemption</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.1 <u>Right to Redeem</u>. On or after the fifth anniversary of the Initial Issue Date, the Corporation may redeem all or any portion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (any such redemption, an "**Optional Redemption**") at a redemption price (the "**Redemption Price**") per share equal to the greater of (x) the Minimum Consideration as of the Relevant Date and (y) an amount equal to the value (calculated based on the Relevant Price) of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion at the Conversion Price as of such Redemption Date, which Redemption Price may be paid in cash, shares of Common Stock valued based on the Relevant Price (with the number of shares of Common Stock rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock) or a combination thereof, at the Corporation's election; <u>provided</u> that the Corporation may not pay any portion of such Redemption Price in shares of Common Stock if the Common Stock Liquidity Conditions are not satisfied. Any such Optional Redemption in part shall be for a whole number of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. Prior to any exercise of its Optional Redemption right, the Board shall have determined in good faith that there shall be no applicable legal or contractual restrictions on its ability to pay the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.2 <u>Redemption Notice</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In case the Corporation exercises its Optional Redemption right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to **Section 10.1**, it shall fix a date for redemption (each, a "**Redemption Date**") and it shall deliver a notice of such Optional Redemption (a "**Redemption Notice**") not less than 10 nor more than 60 Business Days prior to the Redemption Date to each applicable Holder (including notice to or through DTC, if applicable). The Redemption Date must be a Business Day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Redemption Notice shall specify (i) the time and place of redemption and the applicable Redemption Price for the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (or the method of determination therefor), (ii) the Holder's Conversion Rights pursuant to **Section 7** hereof, (iii) the calculation of the Redemption Price, (iv) the proportion of the Redemption Price to be paid in cash and the proportion to be paid in shares of Common Stock and (iv) in case the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is to be redeemed in part only, the number of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed, and shall be delivered to each Holder in accordance with **Section 12**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) A Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If fewer than all of the outstanding shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock are to be redeemed pursuant to **Section 10.1**, the Transfer Agent shall select the shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed (which such number shall be a whole number) by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method the Transfer Agent considers to be fair and appropriate (or as required by the procedures of DTC, if applicable). If any Series C Convertible Preferred Stock selected for partial redemption is submitted for conversion in part after such selection, the shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock submitted for conversion shall be deemed (so far as may be possible) to be the portion selected for redemption.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.3 <u>Rights Terminated</u>. On the applicable Redemption Date, upon delivery of (or irrevocable deposit in trust by the Corporation for Holders of shares being redeemed pursuant to this **Section 10** on such Redemption Date of) an amount in cash and, if applicable, a number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities) comprising the applicable Redemption Price for the shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock being redeemed on such Redemption Date, each Holder will cease to have any rights as a stockholder of the Corporation by reason of the ownership of such redeemed shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (except for the right to receive the Redemption Price therefor), and such redeemed shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock will not from and after the date of payment in full of the Redemption Price therefor be deemed to be outstanding. If the Corporation elects to deliver shares of its Common Stock in full or partial satisfaction of the Redemption Price pursuant to **Section 10.1**, subject to the listing rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock may then be listed, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the relevant Holder such Common Stock within two Business Days of the Redemption Date but shall not be in breach of its obligation to deliver such Common Stock for any purposes hereunder until such time as the minimum notice required under such listing rules following determination of the number of shares deliverable shall have lapsed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. <u>Remedies For Nonpayment</u>. If, on any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or Redemption Date (or, if applicable, such later date as provided in this Certificate of Designations in relation to a Fundamental Change or Optional Redemption), all of the Shares elected to be repurchased or redeemed are not repurchased or redeemed in full by the Corporation by paying the entire applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Redemption Price then, until such shares are fully repurchased or redeemed and the aggregate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Redemption Price is paid in full, all of the unrepurchased or unredeemed Shares shall remain outstanding and continue to have the rights, preferences and privileges expressed herein, including the accrual and accumulation of dividends thereon as provided in **Section 4**; <u>provided</u> that the Annual Dividend Rate on all of the unrepurchased or unredeemed Shares shall automatically increase by 2.00% per annum on (and effective as of) the first calendar day following the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or Redemption Date and shall continue to increase by 2.00% per annum on each anniversary thereof, up to a total Annual Dividend Rate of 15% per annum, until such time as the full Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Redemption Price, as applicable, has been paid in full in respect of all Shares to be repurchased or redeemed; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u> that (x) no increase to the Annual Dividend Rate hereunder shall apply to the extent that the Corporation's failure to pay the entire applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Redemption Price on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or Redemption Date (or such later date as provided in this Certificate of Designations) results from the limitations set forth in **Section 7.4** and (y) no increase to the Annual Dividend Rate shall be payable in respect of unrepurchased or unredeemed Shares in respect of any unpaid Fundamental Change Repurchase Price pursuant to this proviso for so long as the PIF Investor and its affiliates beneficially own and have the right to vote shares of Capital Stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the voting power of all classes of Capital Stock of the Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. <u>Payments to Holders</u>. Any payments of cash made by the Corporation to the Holders on their shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall be payable to each such Holder by certified check or wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Holder, as determined by the Corporation at the time of such payment.

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Agreement.

WHEREAS, in connection with the Business Combination, PubCo changed its name to "Lucid Group, Inc."

WHEREAS, as of April 14, 2026, PubCo entered into that certain Subscription Agreement (the "**Subscription Agreement**") with Ayar, and it is a condition to the issuance and sale of the shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "**Series C Convertible Preferred Stock**"), by PubCo to Ayar pursuant to the Subscription Agreement (such shares, together with the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, repurchase or redemption thereof, the "**Seventh Placement Shares**") that the Agreement be amended as set forth in this Amendment;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 5.4(b) of the Agreement, the Agreement may be amended in whole or in part at any time with the express written consent of PubCo and the Holders holding in the aggregate more than fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities Beneficially Owned by the Holders at such time;

WHEREAS, Ayar holds more than fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities Beneficially Owned by the Holders as of the date hereof; and

WHEREAS, Ayar and PubCo amend the Agreement as set forth in this Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, all of the parties hereto mutually agree, with effect as of the date hereof, to the following:

1. The definition of "Registrable Securities" in Section 1.1 of the Agreement is amended to read:

"**Registrable Securities**" means (a) any shares of Common Stock, (b) any Warrants or any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise thereof, (c) any Equity Securities of PubCo that may be issued or distributed or be issuable with respect to the securities referred to in clauses (a) or (b) by way of conversion, dividend, stock split or other distribution, merger, consolidation, exchange, recapitalization or reclassification or similar transaction, in each case Beneficially Owned by a Holder as of immediately following the Closing, and (d) with respect to Ayar only, the Placement Shares, the Second Placement Shares, the Third Placement Shares, the Fourth Placement Shares, the Fifth Placement Shares, the Prepaid Forward Shares and the Seventh Placement Shares; *provided, however,* that any such Registrable Securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities to the extent (A) a Registration Statement with respect to the sale of such Registrable Securities has become effective under the Securities Act and such Registrable Securities have been sold, transferred, disposed of or exchanged in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement, (B) such Registrable Securities shall have ceased to be outstanding, (C) such Registrable Securities have been sold to, or through, a broker, dealer or Underwriter in a public distribution or other public securities transaction or (D)(i) the Holder thereof, together with its, his or her Permitted Transferees, Beneficially Owns less than one percent (1%) of the shares of Common Stock that are outstanding at such time and (ii) such shares of Common Stock are eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and without current public information pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act as set forth in a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed, delivered and acceptable to PubCo's transfer agent and the affected Holder (which opinion may assume that such Holder (and any predecessor holder of such shares of Common Stock) is not, and has not been at any time during the 90 days immediately before the date of such opinion, an Affiliate of PubCo except with respect to any control determined to be established under this Investor Rights Agreement), as reasonably determined by PubCo, upon the advice of counsel to PubCo. It is understood and agreed that, for purposes of this Investor Rights Agreement, where reference is made to Registrable Securities being listed with any securities exchange or automated quotation system, such reference shall not include the Warrants, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, or the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (although it shall include the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion thereof).

2. A new section 3.21 is added at the end of Article III, which reads:

*Section 3.21. Shelf Registration of Seventh Placement Shares.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Section 3.1 Not Applicable*. Section 3.1(a) of the Investor Rights Agreement shall not apply to the Seventh Placement Shares. Prior to the Seventh Shelf Registration Deadline (as defined below), Sections 3.1(b) through 3.1(d) and 3.2 through 3.17 of the Investor Rights Agreement shall not apply to the Seventh Placement Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Filing*. PubCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file and cause to become effective under the Securities Act within six (6) months from the Closing Date (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) (the "**Seventh Shelf Registration Deadline**") a Shelf Registration Statement (it being agreed that the Shelf Registration shall be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement if PubCo is a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer at the time of filing), or, if permitted, an amendment or a prospectus supplement to a Shelf Registration Statement then already filed, covering the resale on a delayed or continuous basis of all Seventh Placement Shares then issued to and Beneficially Owned by Ayar but not yet covered by a Shelf Registration Statement. PubCo shall maintain such Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the terms of this Investor Rights Agreement, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as of which all Registrable Securities registered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold or cease to be Registrable Securities. PubCo shall also use its commercially reasonable efforts to file any replacement or additional Shelf Registration Statement and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such replacement or additional Shelf Registration Statement to become effective prior to the expiration of the initial Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 3.21.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents the Company from including any or all of the Registrable Securities on the Shelf Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Registrable Securities by Ayar, the Shelf Registration Statement shall register the resale of a number of shares of the Registrable Securities which is equal to the maximum number of shares as is permitted by the SEC, and, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.21(b), the Company shall continue to its use commercially reasonable efforts to register all remaining Registrable Securities as set forth in this Section 3.21(b). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the SEC limits the Company's ability to file, or prohibits or delays the filing of, a Shelf Registration Statement or a Subsequent Shelf Registration with respect to any or all the Registrable Securities, the Company's compliance with such limitation, prohibition or delay solely to the extent of such limitation, prohibition or delay shall not be a breach or default by the Company under this Agreement and shall not be deemed a failure by the Company to use "commercially reasonable efforts" or "reasonable efforts" as set forth above or elsewhere in this Agreement.

Sections 5.1, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.13 and 5.14 of the Agreement are hereby incorporated into this Amendment, *mutatis mutandis.* Except as modified and amended herein, all other terms and provisions of the Agreement will not be amended and will remain in full force and effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) by either the Company or the Investor, if the Second Vehicle Production Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms following its execution;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) by either the Company or the Investor, if any Restraint enjoining or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be in effect and shall have become final and nonappealable; <u>provided</u> that the party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this <u>Section 7.01(c)</u> shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to cause the conditions to Closing to be satisfied in accordance with <u>Section 5.01</u>;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) by the Investor, if the Company shall have breached any of its representations or warranties or failed to perform any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in <u>Section 6.03(a)</u> or <u>Section 6.03(b)</u> and (ii) shall not have been cured within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt by the Company of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from the Investor stating the Investor's intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this <u>Section 7.01(d)</u> and the basis for such termination; <u>provided</u> that the Investor shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this <u>Section 7.01(d)</u> if the Investor is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder, which breach would give rise to the failure of any condition set forth in <u>Section 6.02(a)</u> or <u>Section 6.02(b)</u> to be satisfied; or

Section 7.02. <u>Effect of Termination</u>. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in <u>Section 7.01</u>, written notice thereof shall be given to the other party, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void (other than <u>Article 1</u>, <u>Section 5.03</u>, <u>Section 5.06</u>, this <u>Section 7.02</u>, <u>Article 8</u> and <u>Article 9</u>, all of which shall survive termination of this Agreement), and there shall be no liability on the part of the Investor or the Company or their respective directors, officers and Affiliates, except that no such termination shall relieve any party from liability for damages to another party resulting from a willful and material breach of this Agreement.

Section 7.03. <u>Survival</u>.

**Article 8<u><br> Registration Rights</u>**

Section 8.01. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, at its sole cost and expense, submit or file with the SEC, within 120 calendar days following the Closing Date (the "**Filing Date**"), a resale shelf registration statement, or a prospectus supplement filed pursuant to the Existing Registration Statement (each, a "**Shelf Registration Statement**") (it being agreed that the Shelf Registration Statement shall be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement if the Company is a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer at the time of filing), in each case, to register the resale of the Registrable Shares (determined as of two (2) Business Days prior to such filing), and in the event the Shelf Registration Statement does not become effective automatically upon filing, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, at its sole cost and expense, to have the Shelf Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof, but, in any event, no later than the earlier of (i) 210 calendar days following the Closing Date and (ii) 270 calendar days after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Shelf Registration Statement will not be "reviewed" or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the "**Effectiveness Date**"); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Company's obligations to include the Registrable Shares in the Shelf Registration Statement are contingent upon the Investor furnishing in writing (which may be via e-mail) to the Company such information regarding the Investor as required by the SEC rules for a Shelf Registration Statement, the securities of the Company held by the Investor and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Shares (which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings) and such other information as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect to effect the registration of the Registrable Shares, and the Investor shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations as required by the SEC rules, including providing that the Company shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Shelf Registration Statement during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Company to file the Shelf Registration Statement by the Filing Date or to effect such Shelf Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file or effect the Shelf Registration Statement as set forth above in this <u>Article 8</u>. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents the Company from including any or all of the Placement Shares proposed to be registered for resale under the Shelf Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Placement Shares by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Shelf Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Placement Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Placement Shares as is permitted by the SEC. Unless required under applicable laws and SEC rules, in no event shall the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Shelf Registration Statement; <u>provided</u>, that if the Investor is required to be so identified as a statutory underwriter in the Shelf Registration Statement, the Investor will have an opportunity to withdraw its Registrable Shares from the Shelf Registration Statement.

Section 8.02. In the case of the registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform Investor as to the status of such registration. At its sole cost and expense, the Company shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) during the Registration Period (as defined below), except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Shelf Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Company determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to the Investor, and to keep the applicable Shelf Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions. The period of time during which the Placement Shares are Registrable Shares is referred to herein as the "**Registration Period**"; and as used herein, "**Registrable Shares**" means any Placement Shares or other securities issued in respect of such Placement Shares by reason of or in connection with any stock dividend, stock distribution, stock split, purchase in any rights offering or in connection with any exchange, conversion or replacement of such Placement Share or any combination of shares, recapitalization, merger or consolidation, or any other equity securities of the Company issued pursuant to any other pro rata distribution with respect to the Placement Shares, until the earliest to occur of: (A) a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to the sale of such Placement Shares shall have become effective under the Securities Act and such securities shall have been sold, transferred, disposed of or exchanged pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement; (B) such Placement Shares (and other securities issued in respect of such Placement Shares as described above) shall have ceased to be outstanding; and (C) such Placement Shares may be sold without registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (but with no volume or other restrictions or limitations including as to manner or timing of sale);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) during the Registration Period, advise the Investor, as promptly as possible, but in any event within five (5) Business Days:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) when a Shelf Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Shelf Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) subject to the provisions in this Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Shelf Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company shall not, when so advising the Investor of such events, provide the Investor with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company other than to the extent that providing notice to the Investor of the occurrence of the events listed in (i) through (iv) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Shelf Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) during the Registration Period, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in <u>Section 8.02(b)(ii)–(iv)</u> above, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the Investor of the Registrable Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the shares of Common Stock are then-listed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow the Investor to review disclosure specifically regarding the Investor in the Shelf Registration Statement on reasonable advance notice no less than five (5) Business Days; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) during the Registration Period, otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Investor, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in connection with the registration of the resale of the Registrable Shares.

Section 8.03. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to delay the filing or postpone the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, and from time to time to require the Investor not to sell under the Shelf Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if it reasonably determines, upon the advice of external legal counsel, that in order for the Shelf Registration Statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, (i) an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act, (ii) the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation or consummation, the Company's board of directors, upon the advice of external legal counsel, reasonably believes would require additional disclosure by the Company in the Shelf Registration Statement of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose or legal obligations for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Shelf Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Company's board of directors, upon the advice of external legal counsel, to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements, or (iii) in the good faith judgment of the majority of the members of the Company's board of directors, upon the advice of external legal counsel, such filing or effectiveness or use of such Shelf Registration Statement would be seriously detrimental to the Company, and the majority of the members of the Company's board of directors concludes as a result that it is essential to defer such filing (each such circumstance, a "**<u>Suspension Event</u>**"); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Company may not delay or suspend the Shelf Registration Statement on more than two (2) occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days in each case during any twelve (12)-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Shelf Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Shelf Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in light of the circumstances under which they were made, in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, the Investor agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Shares under the Shelf Registration Statement until the Investor receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice from the Company that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company except (A) for disclosure to the Investor and its Affiliates' respective Representatives who need to know such information and are obligated to keep it confidential, (B) for disclosures to the extent required in order to comply with reporting obligations to its limited partners who have agreed to keep such information confidential or (C) as required by Laws or subpoena. If so directed by the Company, the Investor will deliver to the Company or, in the Investor's sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Shares in the Investor's possession; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Shares shall not apply (A) to the extent the Investor is required to retain a copy of such prospectus in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (B) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

Section 8.04. <u>Indemnification</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the Investor (to the extent a seller under the Shelf Registration Statement), its Affiliates, each person or entity who controls the Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act), and each of its and their respective Representatives, to the extent permitted by Law, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys' fees of one law firm (and any one applicable local counsel)) (collectively, "**Losses**") caused by, based on or arising from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Shelf Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Shelf Registration Statement ("**Prospectus**") or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the indemnification contained in this <u>Section 8.04(a)</u> shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable for any Losses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon a violation which occurs in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of the Investor in violation of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In connection with any Shelf Registration Statement in which the Investor is participating, the Investor shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus and, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Affiliates, each person or entity who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and each of its and their respective Representatives, to the extent permitted by law, against any Losses caused by, based on or arising from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Shelf Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission was made (or not made, in the case of an omission) in reliance on, and in conformity with, any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the liability of the Investor shall be limited to the net proceeds received by the Investor from the sale of Registrable Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation and <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that the indemnification contained in this <u>Section 8.04(b)</u> shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Investor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (A) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person's or entity's right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (B) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of external legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party, its Affiliates, any controlling person (within the meaning of the Securities Act) or any of their respective Representatives and shall survive the transfer of the Placement Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If the indemnification provided under this <u>Section 8.04</u> from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Losses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the liability of the Investor under this Agreement shall be limited to the net proceeds received by the Investor from the sale of Registrable Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and 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, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party's and indemnified party's 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 or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in <u>Sections 8.04(a)</u>, <u>(b)</u> and <u>(c)</u> above, any legal or other fees, charges 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 8.04(e)</u> were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this <u>Section 8.04(e)</u>. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this <u>Section 8.04(e)</u> from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Section 8.05. If the Placement Shares acquired hereunder are either eligible to be sold (i) pursuant to an effective Shelf Registration Statement or (ii) without restriction under, and without the Company being in compliance with the current public information requirements of, Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act and Rule 144 under the Securities Act, then at the Investor's request, the Company shall at its sole cost and expense use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company's transfer agent, including issuing any legend removal opinion required by the Company's transfer agent, such that any remaining restrictive legend set forth on such Placement Shares will be removed in connection with a sale of such Placement Shares.

Section 8.06. The rights and obligations granted to the Investor and the indemnification in this <u>Article 8</u> shall be automatically assigned to any transferee of Registrable Shares that are transferred in a private placement and which Placement Shares continue to constitute Registrable Shares in the hands of such transferee. To the extent Registrable Shares are so transferred in a private placement and such Placement Shares continue to constitute Registrable Shares in the hands of such transferee, any reference in this <u>Article 8</u> to "Investor" shall be treated as a reference to such transferee, and any such transferee of Registrable Shares that are so transferred in a private placement shall execute any joinder or other agreement or instrument that the Company reasonably requests in order to effectuate this provision.

Section 8.07. <u>Piggyback Registration</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Piggyback Rights</u>. If, at any time the Company proposes to file a registration statement (the "**Piggyback Registration Statement**") under the Securities Act with respect to an Underwritten Offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for the account of stockholders of the Company (or by the stockholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof), then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to the Investor as soon as practicable but not less than ten (10) Business Days before the anticipated filing date of such Piggyback Registration Statement, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters in such offering, and (B) offer to the Investor the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Shares as the Investor may request in writing within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such written notice (such registration, a "**Piggyback Registration**"). The Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Shares to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable Shares requested by the Investor pursuant to this Section 8.07 to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such Piggyback Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Shares in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof.

Section 9.05. <u>Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries</u>. This Agreement and the Second Vehicle Production Agreement constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties and their Affiliates, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. No provision of this Agreement shall confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their permitted assigns any rights or remedies hereunder.

Section 9.06. <u>Governing Law; Jurisdiction</u>. (a) This Agreement and all matters, claims or legal actions or proceedings (whether at law, in equity, in Contract, in tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, execution or performance of this Agreement, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of New York.

Subject to the determination of a court of competent jurisdiction, the parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the right of the Company to cause any Placement to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement) in the courts described in <u>Section 9.06</u>, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of this Agreement and without that right, neither the Company nor the Investor would have entered into this Agreement.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this <u>Section 9.07</u> shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

 seeking transportation from one location to another using the Uber Service; and (b) matches
 couriers who provide delivery services with merchants (*e.g.*, restaurants, grocery
 stores, convenience stores, etc.), shippers, and similar entities seeking delivery of

 reliable options for ridesharing and mobility. The Parties desire to collaborate with Nuro, Inc.
 (the " <u>ADS Provider</u> " or " <u>Provider</u> " or " <u>Nuro</u> "),

 the ADS Provider's integration of the ADS Provider's Autonomous Driving Software
 (as defined below) into the Midsize Plus (as integrated with such Autonomous Driving Software,

E. The Parties are entering into this Agreement
 in order to establish: (i) governing principles throughout the Term for the design,
 development, testing and manufacturing of the Midsize Plus, including activities to be performed
 in collaboration or other coordination with ADS Provider; and (ii) the terms under which

16.2 <u>Confidentiality Exclusions</u>.

Each Party's Permitted Disclosees may retain certain information in their unaided memories as an unintentional result of access to the other Party's Confidential Information without remembering or having access to information identifying the source of such information ("<u>Residual Information</u>"). It shall not be a violation of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties if a Party uses, publicly discloses, or otherwise exploits Residual Information to improve its products, services, or other offerings.

**<u>New Vehicle Limited Warranty</u>**

This is the Lucid New Vehicle Limited Warranty ("Lucid New Vehicle Limited Warranty" or "Lucid Warranty"). This document provides a detailed explanation of the Lucid Warranty terms for your model year 2026 Lucid vehicle, including coverage regions, types, durations, limitations, and more. As a condition of these warranties, you are responsible for properly using, maintaining, and caring for your vehicle as outlined in your Owner's Manual. Lucid recommends that you maintain copies of all maintenance records.

**Your ownership experience is very important to us!** If a dispute arises regarding your warranty coverage, please follow the steps described under the "Dispute Resolution" section of this Lucid Warranty. If you are unable to reach a satisfactory resolution with Lucid directly, we provide you with Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) programs:

&nbsp;&nbsp;**IMPORTANT: This New Vehicle Limited Warranty contains a Mandatory Arbitration Agreement explained in the Dispute Resolution section below. This Mandatory Arbitration Agreement is separate from and in addition to the ADR programs under BBB AUTO LINE and CAMVAP. Please read the Mandatory Arbitration Agreement provision carefully, since it is a specific condition of the benefits offered under this Lucid Warranty! BY REQUESTING OR ACCEPTING BENEFITS UNDER THIS LUCID WARRANTY, INCLUDING REQUESTING OR HAVING ANY REPAIRS PERFORMED UNDER THIS LUCID WARRANTY, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.**

<u>Limitation of Implied Warranties and Incidental and Consequential Damages</u>: All implied warranties, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, are limited in duration to the applicable coverage periods and exclusions stated herein to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law. This Lucid Warranty excludes remedies for incidental or consequential damages. Examples of incidental and consequential damages include, but are not limited to, lost time, lost income or profits, loss of use of your vehicle, diminution in vehicle value, alternative transportation costs, lodging expenses, inconvenience, and aggravation or emotional distress. Some States do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

**Who Is The Warrantor?**

The warrantor in accordance with the terms, conditions, and limitations in this Lucid New Vehicle Limited Warranty is listed below:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Warranty Region | &nbsp;&nbsp;Warrantor and Contact Information |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;USA | &nbsp;&nbsp;Lucid USA, Inc.<br> 7373 Gateway Blvd<br> Newark, CA 94560<br> Phone: 1-888-99 LUCID (1-888-995-8243) |

---

Any service required under this Lucid New Vehicle Limited Warranty will be provided by a Lucid Service Center or a Lucid-authorized repair facility. For a list of available Service Centers, see https://www.lucidmotors.com/locations or call 1-888-99 LUCID (1-888-995-8243). After receiving notice of a defect, malfunction, or failure to conform with the warranty, the warrantor will perform its obligations under this Lucid Warranty within a reasonable time period.

**What Is The Warranty Region?**

The Warranty Region corresponds to the country the vehicle was originally manufactured for and purchased from Lucid in, but excludes that country's associated islands and overseas regions, municipalities, and territories where there is no Lucid Service Center or Lucid-authorized repair facility. The Lucid New Vehicle Limited Warranty is valid only within the Warranty Region for which the Lucid vehicle was originally manufactured and sold.

If, during the warranty period, you are the original purchaser or lessee and you temporarily take your Lucid vehicle to any other Lucid Warranty Region, the Lucid New Vehicle Limited Warranty will be honored in that Warranty Region. Temporary is defined as a period less than six months. Proof of compliance with any temporary import laws or regulations is required upon reasonable request.

If, during the warranty period, you are the original purchaser or lessee and you are permanently moving to a Region supported by a Lucid Service Center or Lucid-authorized repair facility, you may apply to Lucid to transfer the Lucid Warranty to the new region for the duration of your ownership and the remaining warranty period. Requests to transfer a vehicle's Lucid Warranty will be decided on a case-by-case basis by Lucid at its absolute discretion, and will be subject to certain conditions, including all necessary regional modifications being carried out by a Lucid Service Center at the owner's cost.

Transfer of the Lucid Warranty to a new Region is not permitted for subsequent purchasers. Lucid will not transfer the warranty coverage following the sale of a vehicle within the new Region.

**Who May Use This Warranty?**

This Lucid New Vehicle Limited Warranty is provided to the original purchaser or lessee of a Lucid vehicle sold or leased by Lucid or its affiliates in the applicable Warranty Region defined above, and to subsequent owner(s) if the vehicle is within the applicable coverage period. Any subsequent owner must provide proof of ownership transfer to be eligible for benefits under this Warranty.

**What Does This Warranty Cover?**

This Lucid New Vehicle Limited Warranty provides limited warranty coverage for your model year 2026 Lucid vehicle. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from State to State.

This Lucid Warranty covers the rectification of manufacturing defects in factory materials or factory workmanship that manifest during the warranty coverage period provided your vehicle has been properly operated and maintained in accordance with all requirements in the Owner's Manual and subject to the limitations stated in this Lucid Warranty. Nothing in this Lucid Warranty guarantees that any Lucid vehicle is free of manufacturing defects at the time of sale, only that such defects will be rectified according to these warranty terms. Such rectification shall be via repair, replacement, or adjustment of the faulty parts or components without charge. Lucid may elect at its sole discretion the method of repair, replacement, or adjustment, and in the case of replacement of parts, whether to use new, reconditioned, or remanufactured parts. Dissatisfaction with vehicle features or their functionality does not amount to a breach of this Lucid Warranty if the vehicle is operating as designed.

The exclusive remedy under this Lucid New Vehicle Limited Warranty and any implied warranty is limited to repair, replacement, or adjustment of defective parts. This remedy shall not be deemed to have failed of its essential purpose so long as Lucid, through its authorized service centers, is willing and able to repair, replace, or adjust defective parts as described in this Lucid New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Lucid's liability, if any, shall in no event exceed the cost of correcting defects as provided in this Lucid Warranty. Per the terms of this Lucid Warranty, the appropriate remedies are not determined with reference to federal, state, or provincial law, but are contractually limited to those remedies stated herein to the fullest extent possible, where allowed by law. Upon expiration of this Lucid Warranty, any such liability related or pursuant to this Lucid Warranty shall terminate.

The Lucid New Vehicle Limited Warranty provides the following types of coverage:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Coverage Type | &nbsp;&nbsp;Coverage Duration |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Basic Vehicle | &nbsp;&nbsp;4 Years / 50,000 miles (whichever comes first) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Powertrain | &nbsp;&nbsp;8 Years / 100,000 miles (whichever comes first) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;High Voltage Battery | &nbsp;&nbsp;8 Years / 100,000 miles (whichever comes first) retaining 70% capacity (as explained further below) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Corrosion Perforation | &nbsp;&nbsp;10 Years / Unlimited miles |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Body and Paint | &nbsp;&nbsp;4 Years / Unlimited miles |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) | &nbsp;&nbsp;5 Years / 60,000 miles (whichever comes first) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Zero-Emission Vehicle | &nbsp;&nbsp;See Below |

---

**Basic Vehicle Limited Warranty**

Lucid's Basic Vehicle Limited Warranty covers the repair, replacement, or adjustment of parts necessary to correct defects in the materials or workmanship of any parts manufactured or supplied by Lucid under normal use for a period of four years or 50,000 miles (approx. 80,000 km), whichever comes first, subject to the exclusions and limitations and the separate coverage for certain parts described in this New Vehicle Limited Warranty. In addition, any repair, replacement, or adjustment of parts or components is covered under this New Vehicle Limited Warranty if damaged or made inoperable during the warranty period by a Lucid over-the-air update.

If it is determined that your vehicle requires warranty repair, Lucid will repair, replace, or adjust the applicable vehicle part with a new, reconditioned, or remanufactured part at the discretion of Lucid.

**Powertrain Limited Warranty**

The Powertrain is covered for the duration of 8 years or 100,000 miles (approx. 160,000 km), whichever comes first. Coverage includes the cost of repair, replacement, or adjustment of the defective parts of the Lucid powertrain subject to the limitations outlined in this New Vehicle Limited Warranty. This coverage is for Lucid's electric powertrain: the fully integrated electric drive units, transmission, and differential.

If it is determined that your powertrain requires warranty repair, Lucid will repair, replace, or adjust the part with a new, reconditioned, or remanufactured part at the sole discretion of Lucid.

**High Voltage Battery Limited Warranty**

The high voltage battery is covered for the duration of 8 years or 100,000 miles (approx. 160,000 km), whichever comes first, with a minimum 70% retention of battery capacity over the warranty period. If the high voltage battery falls below 70% capacity during the warranty period, as determined at the sole discretion of Lucid's trained and authorized representatives, Lucid will replace the high voltage battery.

Please note that the vehicle's displays of range are estimates based on driving conditions and habits, including other factors that are independent from the vehicle's battery capacity. The measurement method used to determine the battery capacity is at the sole discretion of Lucid's trained and authorized representatives.

The high voltage battery, like all batteries, will experience a decrease of energy and power loss with time and use. Loss of energy or power reduction over time is not covered beyond the terms and limits of this warranty, as set forth above. Proper storage and maintenance of your Lucid vehicle will maximize the life and capacity of the battery. Malfunctions or problems caused by failure to follow the recommended guidelines and charging procedures as detailed in your owner's manual will not be covered under the terms of this limited warranty. Please refer to your owner's manual for additional information.

If it is determined that your battery requires warranty repair, Lucid will repair, replace, or adjust the battery with a new, reconditioned, or remanufactured part at the discretion of Lucid, subject to the limitations outlined in this New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

**Body and Paint Limited Warranty**

Manufacturing defects in the paint or body of your vehicle are covered for four years from the warranty start date (there is no mileage limitation on this coverage). The Body Limited Warranty includes repairs for cracking, flaking, pitting, and deterioration of body parts but excludes damage caused by corrosion. The Paint Limited Warranty includes repairs for peeling and cracking of paint or topcoat, and loss of gloss caused by hazing. Normal wear and tear and accidental damage, including collisions, fire, theft or attempted theft, and defects caused by paint or body repair performed by a non-Lucid approved body repair center are not covered.

**Corrosion Perforation Limited Warranty**

Perforation of body panels from the inside outwards caused by a material or manufacturing defect is covered for 10 years (there is no mileage limitation on this coverage), except where:

● Surface corrosion occurs due to paint damaged by scratches, stone chips, or environmental fallout such as bird droppings or acid rain.

● The application of non-Lucid approved third-party coatings that have a detrimental effect on the original painted surface or under body panels.

● Corrosion is caused by, due to, or resulting from accidents, abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or operation of the vehicle, installation of a non-approved accessory, exposure to chemicals or environmental contaminants, damage resulting from an act of God or nature, fire, or improper storage.

● Damage is due to lack of required maintenance; improper maintenance; the use of non-original equipment parts, non-approved parts, or fluids; or improper body repairs.

● Repairs have not been performed by a Lucid Service Center or Lucid-authorized repair facility.

**Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Limited Warranty**

The Supplemental Restraint System (the seat belts and air bags system) is covered against defects resulting from material or manufacturing for 5 years or 60,000 miles (approx. 100,000 km), whichever comes first.

**Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Limited Warranties**

Lucid provides the following Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Limited Warranties only to vehicles certified for sale in California and registered in a state that, at the time of delivery and the applicable claim, has adopted and is enforcing California's Advanced Clean Cars II regulations requiring Lucid to provide these ZEV Limited Warranties. The ZEV Limited Warranties are minimum warranties required by law. The other warranties described in this Lucid Warranty may provide longer, additional, or duplicate coverage compared to the ZEV Limited Warranties. Any duplication between other warranties described in this Lucid Warranty and the ZEV Limited Warranties does not create a right to duplicate remedies. Except as set forth in this section or the California Warranty Statement (see below) and to the extent permitted by law, the terms and procedures that apply to the other warranties in this Lucid Warranty apply to the ZEV Limited Warranties. The ZEV Limited Warranties do not expand the scope of any other warranty described in this Lucid Warranty.

Coverage under the ZEV Limited Warranties excludes the repair or replacement of any propulsion-related part or battery otherwise eligible for warranty coverage if the vehicle has been abused, neglected, or improperly maintained, and that such abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance was the direct cause of the need for the repair or replacement of the part.

**Propulsion-Related Part Warranty**

Lucid warranties that your vehicle was designed, built, and equipped so as to conform, at the time of initial sale, with all applicable regulations adopted by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) pursuant to its authority in chapters 1 and 2, part 5, division 26 of the Health and Safety Code; and free from defects in materials and workmanship that would cause a propulsion-related part to fail to be identical in all material respects to the part as it was described in the vehicle manufacturer's application for certification. The duration of this warranty is 3 years or 50,000 miles, whichever first occurs, and 7 years or 70,000 miles, whichever first occurs, for "high-priced" propulsion-related parts.

**Battery Warranty**

Lucid warranties that the vehicle's battery is free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause the battery state of health, as described in CCR, title 13, section 1962.5(c)(4)(A)4.c. and d.1, to deteriorate to less than 70% for a warranty period of eight years or 100,000 miles, whichever first occurs.

**CALIFORNIA WARRANTY STATEMENT**

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

The California Air Resources Board and Lucid are pleased to explain the zero-emission vehicle warranty on your 2026 vehicle. In California, new zero-emission vehicles must be designed and built in accordance with State regulations. Lucid must provide warranty coverage for the propulsion-related parts on your vehicle, including the high voltage battery, for the periods of time listed below, provided the failure was not caused by abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your vehicle.

Your propulsion-related parts may include parts such as the electric drive motor, inverter, high voltage battery, onboard charger, and associated electronic control units, wiring, and sensors. Where a condition covered by the warranty exists, Lucid will repair your vehicle at no cost to you, including diagnosis, parts, and labor.

MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:

● For 3 years or 50,000 miles (whichever first occurs):

If any propulsion-related part on your vehicle is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Lucid. This is your short-term defects warranty.

● For 7 years or 70,000 miles (whichever first occurs):

If any propulsion-related part listed in this warranty booklet specifically noted with coverage for 7 years or 70,000 miles is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Lucid. This is your long-term defects warranty.

● For 8 years or 100,000 miles (whichever first occurs)

If any high voltage battery is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Lucid. This is your high voltage battery warranty.

OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:

● As the vehicle owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner's manual. Lucid recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your vehicle, but Lucid cannot deny warranty coverage solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.

● You are responsible for presenting your vehicle to a Lucid authorized warranty facility as soon as a problem exists. The warranty facility should complete the necessary repairs in a reasonable amount of time, which is usually no longer than 30 days.

● As the vehicle owner, you should also be aware that Lucid may deny you warranty coverage if your vehicle or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.

If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact Lucid Customer Care Center at 7373 Gateway Boulevard, Newark, CA 94560 or 1-888-99 LUCID (1-888-995-8243), or the California Air Resources Board at 1-800-242-4450 or helpline@arb.ca.gov.

**What Is The Coverage Period?**

Coverage under this Lucid New Vehicle Limited Warranty begins on the date a new vehicle is delivered to the first buyer or lessee or the day it is first put into service in the case of a demonstrator or fleet vehicle, whichever occurs first, and lasts for the coverage duration stated for each coverage type.

The warranty period includes those miles of operation when the vehicle is in the possession of any and all persons.

You must bring any alleged warranty nonconformity to the attention of Lucid within the coverage period. For defects reported to Lucid within the warranty period but not remedied by Lucid within the warranty period, warranty coverage for that reported defect will continue until the earlier of:

● The defect has been repaired; or

● The Lucid Service Center determines that no defect covered by the Lucid Warranty exists; or

● Thirty days after you report the defect to Lucid if within that thirty days you do not follow the procedure described in this Lucid Warranty for obtaining warranty service.

**What Does This Warranty Not Cover?**

**Wear and Tear Items**

The Lucid New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover any item where its failure or deterioration is due to normal wear and tear or items that have to be fixed, replaced, touched up, or adjusted periodically as a part or result of ordinary use or during routine servicing and maintenance, including paint and glass chips, key fob batteries, upholstery discoloration, tears, punctures, wrinkles, depressions or other similar items. The rate of wear of a part will be affected by the amount and degree of use.

Common items subject to normal wear and tear include, but are not limited to:

● Seat surfaces

● Upholstery and trim

● Floor coverings

Consumable parts whose wear or replacement are not covered under this Lucid Warranty include, but are not limited to:

● Filters

● Lubricants

● Brake discs and pads

● Wiper blades

● Key fob batteries

● Tires

● Other items replaced during routine maintenance

This Lucid Warranty does not cover periodic adjustments to certain parts such as:

● Doors and hoods

● Exterior panels

● Exterior and interior trim

● Head lamps

● Wheel alignment

● Wheel balancing

**Tires**

The original factory fitted tires are covered against manufacturing defects by the tire manufacturer, who provides a separate warranty to you with its own terms and conditions. Warranty claims must be made directly with the tire manufacturer. The Lucid New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover tires, including damaged or flat tires caused by non-recommended use (e.g. use of summer-only tires in cold weather), road hazards (e.g. potholes), impacts, or debris.

**Problems Resulting from Out-Of-Date Software**

**Properly maintaining your vehicle includes keeping your vehicle's software up-to-date.** Damage, conditions, or problems caused by or that occur due to failing to install a software update after an update is available are not covered under the Lucid Warranty.

**Modifications**

The Lucid New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover any repair, replacement, or adjustment where the fault or defect is wholly or partially attributed to modifications not made by Lucid.

**Performance Metrics**

Performance metrics advertised by Lucid and/or available from third-party testing agencies (for example, EPA estimated range) are not guaranteed or covered under the Lucid New Vehicle Limited Warranty. There are many variables that may affect these metrics and vehicle performance, including but not limited to vehicle age/use, driving style, driving conditions, wheels and tires, ambient temperature, and battery health and state of charge. Please refer to the Owner's Manual for additional information.

**Removal of Non-Standard Equipment or Accessories**

Additional labor time for the removal of non-standard equipment, including but not limited to aftermarket parts and accessories, and Lucid Accessories is not covered under the Lucid New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

**Connectivity Services**

The Lucid Warranty does not cover Connectivity Services. Connectivity Services consist of network connectivity and wireless services, such as data plans and related services, made available to you by or using the networks of third-party providers of such services. Not all Connectivity Services are available everywhere, particularly in remote or enclosed areas. Many factors can impact the availability and quality of the Connectivity Services such as the network, wireless coverage area, terrain, buildings, physical location of the vehicle (e.g., in an underground parking structure, in a tunnel), actions of third parties, damage to the vehicle, and weather. Connectivity Services are provided to you on an "as is" and "as available" basis. See the Lucid Connectivity Services Terms and Conditions for additional information.

**Track and Competition Use**

Track and competition use is not considered normal use for purposes of coverage under the Lucid New Vehicle Warranty. Damages, conditions, and/or malfunctions that occur as a result are therefore not covered under the Lucid Warranty. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, Lucid disclaims the implied warranty of fitness for the particular purpose of track and competition use.

**Commercial Use as a Taxi, Rental, or Ride Sharing Service**

Commercial use for taxi, rental, or ride-sharing services is not considered normal vehicle use for purposes of warranty coverage. The Lucid New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover vehicles used to provide taxi, rental, or for-compensation ride-sharing services.

**Normal Noise and Vibration**

All mechanical devices produce some level of noise and/or vibration that can differ between vehicles. Slight wind noise, component noise, and/or vibration that do not substantially impair the performance of the vehicle are considered normal, and adjustments that Lucid may provide upon request to mitigate them are not covered by the Lucid New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

**Advanced Driver Assistance Systems Performance**

This Lucid Warranty expressly excludes any coverage or guarantees regarding the performance of the vehicle's Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). This includes, but is not limited to, systems such as Drive Assist, adaptive cruise control (ACC), automatic emergency braking (AEB), forward collision warning (FCW), and lane departure protection (LDP). The system and its sensors' or cameras' inability to detect or correctly interpret road markings or surrounding objects are not considered defects in materials or workmanship but rather constitute limitations in ADAS technology that are part of normal operation.

**Other Damage**

In addition to any items or circumstances excluded above, damage, conditions, or problems caused by, due to, or that are the result of any of the following items or actions listed below are not covered under this Lucid New Vehicle Limited Warranty:

● Failure to follow instructions for proper use, care, or maintenance as stated in the Owner's Manual.

● Abuse and/or misuse of the vehicle.

● Accidents, collisions, or objects striking the vehicle.

● Driving into or over curbs, potholes or other road hazards.

● Exceeding the load limits specified on the certification label.

● Theft, vandalism, or riot.

● Environmental incidents, including, but not limited to exposure to extreme conditions or weather events like high winds, dust or sandstorms, hurricanes, floods, fires, and acid rain, or environmental or industrial fallout such as bird droppings, tree sap, stone chips, or road salt.

● User applied chemicals or spills.

● Any unauthorized access or modification of vehicle software or data through the use of, though not limited to, non-Lucid software programs, malware, programming errors, or any electronic disruptions.

● The use of non-recommended or incompatible charging devices or methods.

● Alteration by non-Lucid personnel to the high voltage battery assembly, high voltage system, or associated wiring.

● Failure to properly store your vehicle as described in the Battery Information section of the Owner's Manual that results in damage to the high voltage battery.

● Allowing the high voltage battery to discharge to a 0% state of charge or 0 miles/0km of range. **NOTE: In some cases, allowing the high voltage battery to discharge to this level may result in an irreparable reduction in capacity below 70% or even require replacement of the high voltage battery. A replacement battery would not be covered under warranty.** 

● Repairs, modifications, or alterations to the vehicle performed by facilities and personnel not authorized by Lucid, including repairs which would have otherwise been covered under this Lucid New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

● Installation of parts that are not Lucid Genuine Parts.

● Failure to observe and resolve vehicle indications and warnings within a reasonable period of time.

**What Will Cause The Warranty To Be Voided?**

At the exercise of Lucid's sole and exclusive discretion, the Lucid New Vehicle Limited Warranty will be voided, and all warranty coverage hereunder will terminate in the event of:

● **Failing to install required software updates within 30 days after notification that an update is available.** 

● Failing to comply with any recall notice.

● Defacing or altering the VIN or odometer or any related system such that it is difficult to determine the VIN number or actual mileage.

● The vehicle being sold, designated, labeled or branded as dismantled, fire-damaged, flood-damaged, junk, rebuilt, salvage, reconstructed, irreparable, or a total loss, including a determination by an insurance carrier that the vehicle is a total loss.

● Use of the vehicle to provide taxi, rental, or for-compensation ride-sharing services. (See "Commercial Use as a Taxi, Rental, or Ride Sharing Service" above.)

This discretion may be exercised by Lucid at any time following any of the above events, and the voiding of coverage shall be retroactive to the time of the event.

**How To Obtain Warranty Service**

To obtain warranty service, notify Lucid within the applicable warranty coverage period and bring your vehicle to a Lucid Service Center. Where Lucid is obligated, we will arrange towing. A list of Lucid Service Centers may be found on our website at https://www.lucidmotors.com. You may also schedule service by contacting Lucid Customer Care toll free at 1-(888)-99-LUCID (888-995-8243). Please be ready to provide your VIN and give a description of the problem you are experiencing.

Though you are not required to obtain service or repairs at a Lucid Service Center or Lucid-authorized repair facility, coverage under this Lucid Warranty may be excluded in the event of improper maintenance, service, or repairs performed by a non-Lucid Service Center or repair facility not authorized by Lucid.

**What To Do If You Need Roadside Assistance?**

To obtain roadside assistance when your Lucid vehicle is inoperable, contact 1-888-995-8243. Roadside Assistance is an additional service offered by the Lucid Roadside Assistance Program and is not provided as part of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Please refer to your Owner's Manual for information regarding the scope of this service.

**Governing Law**

The warranties contained in this Lucid New Vehicle Limited Warranty and all questions regarding their enforceability and interpretation are governed by the law of the jurisdiction in which you purchased your Lucid vehicle.

**Reservation of Rights**

The warranties in this Lucid Warranty are the only express warranties applicable to your vehicle. Lucid does not assume or authorize anyone to assume for it any other obligation or liability in connection with your vehicle or this Lucid Warranty. No person may modify or waive any part of this Lucid Warranty.

Lucid reserves the right to make changes or additions to this Lucid Warranty for any future vehicles without incurring any obligation to make the same or similar changes or additions to warranties for vehicles previously built or sold.

Lucid also reserves the right at its sole discretion to provide post-warranty repairs or extend the warranty coverage period for certain vehicles or vehicle populations. As part of any adjustment program, Lucid will notify all known eligible owners and lessees of affected vehicles and implement procedures to assure reimbursement of each consumer eligible under an adjustment program who incurs expenses for repair of a condition subject to the program prior to acquiring knowledge of the program. Lucid may also occasionally offer to pay a portion or all of the cost of some vehicle repairs that are not or no longer covered by this Lucid Warranty on an ad hoc and case-by-case basis, and the fact that Lucid has provided such service to a particular vehicle does not obligate Lucid to provide similar benefits in the future to the same vehicle or to other vehicle owners.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Warranty, if the warranty coverage has expired or does not apply to a specific repair or service, the warrantor's decision to cover the cost of the particular repair or service shall not be construed as a reinstatement or extension of the original warranty coverage. Any such action by the warrantor is made solely at the warrantor's discretion and shall not constitute a waiver of any terms, conditions, or limitations of this Warranty.

**Dispute Resolution**

**We take customer satisfaction seriously!** If you have any questions or concerns, or are unsatisfied with the service you are receiving, follow these steps:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Contact your Lucid Service Advisor at your local Service Center

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. If your inquiry or concern remains unresolved, contact the Service
 Manager at your local Service Center or Customer Care at 1-888-99 LUCID (1-888-995-8243)

NOTE: You must bring the alleged defect to the attention of Lucid within the eligibility period defined by your state law. Where allowed by state law, Lucid requires written notification of a warrantable defect before a consumer may be eligible for a refund or replacement of the vehicle.

If your state law requires written notification to the manufacturer, please write to:

If you have an unresolved warranty concern after following the procedure outlined above, U.S. owners may be eligible to utilize the BBB AUTO LINE, an out-of-court dispute resolution (ADR) program administered by BBB National programs. This service is provided at no cost to you and is part of Lucid's effort to provide you with an impartial third-party organization to equitably resolve your concerns. BBB AUTO LINE provides voluntary mediation and non-binding arbitration services for disputes involving Lucid vehicles with an alleged nonconformity, defect, or deficient warranty performance, as determined by state or federal law. You may contact BBB AUTO LINE at:

1676 International Drive, Suite 550

McLean, Virginia 22102

1-800-955-5100 or BBBAUTOLINE.org

To begin the ADR process, simply call BBB AUTO LINE at 1-800-955-5100 or visit BBBAUTOLINE.org to file a claim online. You will be provided with a Customer Claim Form, along with information describing how BBB AUTO LINE works. If you wish to use the BBB AUTO LINE program and you qualify for participation, you will be required to provide the following information:

● Your name and address;

● The vehicle identification number;

● The make, model and year of your vehicle; and

● A description of your concerns with the vehicle.

BBB AUTO LINE may also ask you for other information to help resolve your concerns, such as the purchase price of the vehicle, the mileage at the time of purchase, the current mileage and copies of repair orders. Upon receipt of your properly completed Customer Claim Form, BBB AUTO LINE will facilitate a voluntary mediation process for possible mutual resolution. If a mutual resolution is not possible, the matter will be resolved by non-binding arbitration. A decision is normally rendered within 40 days. BBB AUTO LINE will provide you with a copy of the arbitrator's decision. The decision is not binding on you but is binding on Lucid. If you accept the decision, all parties must comply with the decision within the time limits ("performance date") set by the arbitrator. Approximately two weeks after the performance date, BBB AUTO LINE will contact you to verify that the arbitrator's decision has been completed. If you reject the decision of the arbitrator, Lucid will not be obligated to perform any part of the decision, and you may pursue other legal remedies under state or federal law. In some jurisdictions, BBB AUTO LINE's decision may be introduced as evidence.

BBB AUTO LINE's decisions may not include all remedies potentially available under state and federal law, including attorney's fees, civil penalties, punitive damages, multiple damages, or consequential damages.

YOU MUST USE BBB AUTO LINE IF YOU ARE REQUIRED TO USE A MANUFACTURER'S ADR PROGRAM PRIOR TO SEEKING REMEDIES UNDER THE "LEMON LAW" OF YOUR STATE. PLEASE CONSULT THE BBB AUTO LINE PROGRAM FOR ELIGIBILITY AND TIME LIMITATIONS IN YOUR STATE.

**MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, WAIVER OF JURY DEMAND**

**(U.S. and Canada)**

Though the ADR programs through BBB AUTO LINE or CAMVAP described in the preceding paragraphs might be non-binding on you and/or optional for you depending on applicable federal, state, or provincial law, **<u>THIS SEPARATE MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IS MANDATORY AND BINDING ON YOU, EXCEPT YOU MAY OPT OUT OF THIS MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IN EITHER OF TWO WAYS:</u>**

1. For those claims that are eligible for arbitration under the BBB AUTO LINE or CAMVAP ADR programs: by utilizing BBB AUTO LINE or CAMVAP and obtaining and accepting the arbitrator's decision regarding those claims.

2. By sending an email not later than **<u>30 days</u>** from the date you first request or accept benefits under this Lucid Warranty to optout@lucidmotors.com with "NVLW arbitration opt-out" in the subject line and indicating your request to opt-out of this arbitration agreement and your vehicle identification number (VIN) in the body of the email. Opting out only applies to this arbitration agreement and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other arbitration agreements.

Except as described above, participation in BBB Auto Line or CAMVAP ADR or arbitration in any program or forum established by state attorneys general or any state agency does not fulfill this mandatory arbitration agreement, and Lucid does not waive but reserves all rights under this mandatory arbitration agreement though Lucid may participate in the same.

**IMPORTANT: BY REQUESTING OR ACCEPTING BENEFITS UNDER THIS LUCID WARRANTY, INCLUDING REQUESTING OR HAVING ANY REPAIRS PERFORMED UNDER THIS LUCID WARRANTY, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN FAVOR OF RESOLVING THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION ANY CLAIM OR DISPUTE ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE LUCID WARRANTY TERMS, BENEFITS (REQUESTED OR ACCEPTED), OR THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES HEREUNDER.**

This section, referred to as the "Arbitration Agreement," mandates the resolution of disputes through binding arbitration, rather than in a court of law. However, either party may bring claims in small claims court if they meet the necessary criteria. Arbitration does not involve a judge or jury, and the court's review of arbitration awards is limited. Nevertheless, an arbitrator may award the same damages and relief as a court on an individual basis, including injunctive, declaratory relief, or statutory damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by governing law, the term "Disputes" encompasses the following: (1) Any dispute or claim between you and Lucid Entities; (2) Any dispute or claim arising from or related to the purchase, condition, or warranty of this Vehicle (including but not limited to this Lucid New Vehicle Limited Warranty), or any resulting transactions or relationships (including with non-signatory third parties). "Lucid Entities" include Lucid Group USA, Inc.; Lucid USA, Inc.; Lucid Motors Canada ULC; and their parents, subsidiaries, predecessors, successors, assignees, officers, employees, representatives, agents, affiliates, and authorized service and repair facilities.

Disputes concerning the validity, application, scope, enforceability, or interpretation of this Arbitration Agreement will be exclusively decided by the arbitrator. The Arbitration Agreement and associated proceedings, such as waiver or estoppel before, during, or after arbitration, will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C § 1 et seq., and federal common law, not by any state laws or procedures regarding arbitration. The arbitrator holds the exclusive authority to address challenges to this Arbitration Agreement, including questions of waiver, estoppel, breach, or the validity of any part of this Arbitration Agreement.

Before initiating any dispute or claim through arbitration or otherwise, you and we must engage in an informal telephonic dispute resolution conference ("Conference"). If you are a natural person, you must participate in the Conference, while non-natural-person parties must designate a representative.

To initiate a Conference, one party must provide written notice to the other party, including the initiating party's name, contact information, a description of the dispute, the requested amount for resolution, and the personal signature of any natural-person party (a copy may be submitted via email). The notice can be sent to us at disputes@lucidmotors.com. The Conference should occur within 60 days after the other party receives the notice, and during this process, any statute of limitations or filing deadlines will be suspended. An initiating party's failure to participate in this process will result in the arbitrator dismissing that party's arbitration demand.

The arbitration will be conducted by New Era ADR (www.neweraadr.com) or the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") (www.adr.org). Unless modified by this Arbitration Agreement, New Era ADR's arbitration will follow its Virtual Expedited Arbitration Rules and Procedures (www.neweraadr.com/rules-and-procedures/), while AAA's arbitration will adhere to AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules (www.adr.org). A neutral arbitrator must be appointed, and both parties will be responsible for their respective initial filing fees to initiate arbitration. Subsequently, each party will cover their filing, administration, service or case management fees, as well as the arbitrator or hearing fees, up to a maximum of $5,000, unless the law or the rules of the chosen arbitration organization require us to pay more.

**You and we may only bring disputes against each other on an individual basis and not as part of a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action.** However, both parties may file a court suit to: enjoin intellectual property rights infringement, file for bankruptcy, enforce a security interest in the Vehicle through repossession, enforce the arbitrator's decision, or request a court review if the arbitrator exceeded their authority.

Discovery procedures as outlined in the New Era ADR or AAA rules should suffice for most claims. If there is a dispute over the scope of discovery, it should include the right for either side to inspect the Vehicle and exchange relevant Vehicle-related documents.

Unless the governing law requires a specific statute of limitations for a particular arbitration claim, any claim related to a Dispute must be filed no later than three (3) years after the claim or cause of action arose, or it will be forever barred.

If any part of this Arbitration Agreement is unenforceable, it will be severed, and the remaining portions will be enforced. However, if the class-action waiver is deemed unenforceable in a Dispute involving class allegations, the entire Arbitration Agreement will be unenforceable for that Dispute.

In cases where multiple claims or remedies are asserted in one proceeding, and not all of them are subject to arbitration, the non-arbitrable claims or remedies must be stayed until all arbitrable claims or remedies have been resolved. If one party files a court action, the other party may seek to compel arbitration, and all proceedings will be stayed until the full resolution of the proceedings to compel arbitration, including any related appeals

**Lucid to Receive New Investments from the PIF and Uber; Uber and Lucid Expand Robotaxi Partnership to at least 35,000 Vehicles**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*·* *Ayar Third Investment Company, an affiliate of the Public Investment Fund, to purchase $550 million of Lucid's convertible preferred stock* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*·* *Uber to increase total investment in Lucid to $500 million with an additional commitment of $200 million* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*·* *Lucid and Uber expand commitments to global robotaxi service to a total of at least 35,000 Lucid vehicles, including Lucid Gravity and Lucid Midsize vehicles* 

**Newark, Calif. — April 14, 2026** — Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID), maker of the world's most advanced software-defined vehicles and technologies, today announced a significant expansion of its partnership with Uber, further supported by an additional long-term investment from Ayar Third Investment Company, an affiliate of the Public Investment Fund (PIF).

As part of the agreement, Uber will increase its purchase commitment to at least 35,000 Lucid vehicles designed exclusively for use as part of Uber's future global robotaxi service. The company has also committed to an additional $200 million investment in Lucid, raising Uber's total investments to $500 million to date. Ayar Third Investment has also committed a new investment of $550 million, further strengthening the strategic partnership between the PIF and Lucid. Together, these investments enhance Lucid's capital position as the company advances its best-in-class software-defined vehicles and diversified enterprise platform strategy.

This milestone builds on the partnership previously announced between Lucid, Nuro and Uber in July 2025 as the companies prepare for commercial launch of their next-generation robotaxi service later this year in the San Francisco Bay Area, utilizing the award-winning Lucid Gravity. The companies previously announced autonomous on-road testing, led by Nuro, began in December 2025, and Lucid completed delivery of all test vehicles in February.

"Today's announcement demonstrates the growing strength of our relationship with Uber, our continued partnership with the PIF, and the benefits our software-defined EV platforms bring to next-generation mobility networks," said Marc Winterhoff, Interim CEO at Lucid. "Building on the rapid progress of our collaboration with Lucid Gravity, our Midsize platform will enable autonomous mobility at scale through cost efficiency, manufacturing simplicity, and a technology-forward user experience. This is yet another milestone in our partnership with Uber and Nuro, and we look forward to building on our momentum together in the years to come."

"We continue to deepen our commitments with both Lucid and Nuro because both companies are executing extremely well against our fast-moving shared roadmap," said Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO at Uber. "That strong execution keeps us on track to deepen our investment and increase the number of vehicles we plan to deploy, while Lucid's future Midsize platform creates an even clearer path to stronger unit economics. This is all about moving at speed while scaling intelligently to build a leading robotaxi service around the world."

As outlined during Lucid Investor Day, Lucid's future Midsize vehicles are expected to offer similar range to competitors while using smaller battery packs, and at the same time delivering best-in-class interior space and comfort, as well as superior charging speed. Together, these features represent a superior value proposition for fleet operators. With a starting price planned to be under $50,000, combined with the premium technology and performance Lucid is known for, the Lucid Midsize vehicle platform is ideally designed for both consumers and enterprise use cases.
