law, such power of attorney shall survive the death, adjudication of incompetency or insanity, withdrawal, removal or Bankruptcy of the Non-Contributing Member. 

3.6.7 Other Remedies for Failure to Make Capital Contribution. The provisions of this Section 3.6 are in
addition to any other rights and remedies of the Contributing Member and the Company against a Non-Contributing Member for a failure to make an Additional Capital Contribution under

Capital Contributions. 
 3.8 Capital Accounts. An individual Capital Account shall be established and maintained by the Company for

 13 

 3.9 Withdrawal of Capital Contributions. Except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Agreement, no Member will be entitled to demand or receive a return or repayment of any Capital Contributions or otherwise withdraw from the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, this shall not apply to members distributions which shall be
decided on by the Board.

on those terms upon which the Board and such Member agree in Writing, it being understood that the Members shall have no obligation to make any such loans. 

ARTICLE IV 

DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS OF PROFIT AND LOSS 

4.1 Allocations of Profit or Loss. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.3, for each taxable year or other
relevant period, after adjusting each Member’s Capital Account for all Capital Contributions and distributions during such taxable year or other relevant period and all special allocations pursuant to
Section 4.3 for such taxable year or other relevant period, all Profits and Losses shall be allocated to the Members’ Capital Accounts in a manner such that, as of the end of such taxable year or other relevant
period, the Capital Account of each Member (which may have either a positive or negative balance) shall equal, as nearly as possible: (a) the amount of distributions that would be received by each such Member if the Company were liquidated and
all of its assets were sold for their Adjusted Book Values, taking into account any adjustments thereto for such period, all liabilities of the Company were satisfied in full in cash according to their terms (limited for each nonrecourse
liability to the Adjusted Book Value of the assets securing such liability), and all remaining amounts (after satisfaction of such liabilities) were distributed in full pursuant to Section 4.2; minus (b) the sum
of such Member’s share of Minimum Gain and Member Minimum Gain and the amount, if any, such Member is obligated to contribute to the capital of the Company as of the last day of such taxable year or other relevant period. 

4.2 Distributions. 

4.2.1 Subject to applicable law and any limitations in this Agreement, the Company may from time to time, as approved by the Board, distribute
Available Cash or other Company assets to the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests. 
 4.2.2 To the extent that the Board
reasonably determines that the Company is required by law to deduct or withhold any amount for or on account of any tax with respect to allocations or distributions to any Member, or to make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Member
(in any such case, a “Tax Advance”), the Board is authorized to cause the Company to pay such amount to the applicable taxing authority as so required. Any Tax Advance made on behalf of or with respect to a Member that is withheld
from a distribution shall be treated as distributed to such Member. Any other Tax Advance shall be deemed to be a recourse loan by the Company to such Member. Any such loan shall bear interest from the date of the Tax Advance until repaid to the
Company at an interest rate equal to 5% per annum and shall be paid upon the sooner of: (a) demand by the Company; or (b) by reducing the amount of any distributions that would otherwise have been made to such Member, and any amount so
deducted shall be treated as 

  
 14 

 
distributed to the Member. If the proceeds to the Company from an investment are reduced on account of taxes withheld by any other Person (such as an entity in which the Company owns an interest,
directly or indirectly), and such taxes are imposed on or otherwise are attributable to one or more of the Members, then the amount of the reduction shall be treated as if it were paid by the Company as a Tax Advance with respect to the relevant
Member. Each Member hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from and against any liability (including any liability for taxes, penalties, additions to tax or interest) with respect to any Tax Advances due from
the Company on behalf of or with respect to such Member. 
 4.3 Regulatory Allocations and Special Allocations. 

4.3.1 Qualified Income Offset. No Member shall be allocated Losses or deductions if the allocation: (i) causes a Member to have an
Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, or (ii) increases a Member’s Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. If, notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding sentence, a Member receives an allocation of Loss or deduction (or item thereof), or any
distribution, which: (i) causes the Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit; or (ii) increases a Member’s Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, at the end of any taxable year, then all items of income and gain of the Company
(consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income, including gross income and gain) for that taxable year shall be allocated to that Member before any other allocation is made of Company items for that taxable year, in the amount and
proportion required to eliminate the deficit as quickly as possible. This Section 4.3.1 is intended to comply with, and shall be interpreted consistently with, the “qualified income offset” provisions of the
Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704(b). 
 4.3.2 Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as set forth in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(2) through (5), if, during any fiscal year, there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain, each Member, prior to any other allocation pursuant to this ARTICLE IV, shall be specially allocated items
of gross income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) in an amount equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease of Minimum Gain, computed in accordance with Regulations
Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations of gross income and gain pursuant to this Section 4.3.2 shall be made first from gain recognized from the disposition of Company assets subject to
nonrecourse liabilities (within the meaning of the Regulations promulgated under Code Section 752), to the extent of the Minimum Gain attributable to those assets, and thereafter, from a pro rata portion of the Company’s other items of
income and gain for the fiscal year. It is the intent of the parties hereto that any allocation pursuant to this Section 4.3.2 shall constitute a “minimum gain chargeback” under Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). 
 4.3.3 Contributed Property and
Book-ups. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, as well as Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(d)(3), income, gain, loss
and deduction with respect to any property contributed (or deemed contributed) to the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of the property to the
Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Adjusted Book Value (computed in accordance with the definition of Adjusted Book Value). In the event the Adjusted Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph
(ii) of the definition of Adjusted Book Value, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes
and its Adjusted Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder. 

  
 15 

 4.3.4 Code Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent an adjustment to
the tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in
determining Capital Accounts, the amount of the adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases basis), and the gain or loss shall be
specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to that section of the Regulations. 

4.3.5 Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for a fiscal year or other period shall be specially allocated among the Members
in proportion to their Percentage Interests. 
 4.3.6 Member Loan Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member Loan Nonrecourse Deductions for
any fiscal year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the risk of loss with respect to the loan to which the Member Loan Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(b). 
 4.3.7 Guaranteed Payments. To the extent any compensation paid to any
Member by the Company, including any fees payable to any Member pursuant to this Agreement, is determined by the Internal Revenue Service not to be a guaranteed payment under Code Section 707(c) or is not paid to the Member other than in the
Person’s capacity as a Member within the meaning of Code Section 707(a), the Member shall be specially allocated gross income of the Company in an amount equal to the amount of that compensation, and the Member’s Capital Account shall
be adjusted to reflect the payment of that compensation. 
 4.3.8 Withholding. All amounts required to be withheld pursuant to Code
Section 1446 or any other provision of federal, state, local or foreign tax law shall be treated as amounts actually distributed to the affected Members for all purposes under this Agreement. 

4.3.9 Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if there is a net decrease in Member
Minimum Gain attributable to a Member nonrecourse loan during any fiscal year of the Company, each Member who has a share of the Member Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulation 1.704-2(i)(5),
shall be specially allocated items of gross income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in accordance with the provisions of Regulation 1.704-2(i)(4). The items to be so allocated shall
be determined in accordance with Regulation 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). “Member Minimum Gain” has the meaning ascribed to “partner minimum
gain” as set forth in Regulation 1.704-2(i)(3). This Section 4.3.9 is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback required in Regulation
1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 
 4.3.10 Excess Nonrecourse
Deductions. Excess Nonrecourse Deductions for a fiscal year or other period shall be specially allocated among the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests. 

  
 16 

 4.4 General. 

4.4.1 If any assets of the Company are distributed in kind to the Members, those assets shall be valued on the basis of their fair market
value, and any Member entitled to any interest in those assets shall receive that interest as a tenant-in-common with all other Members so entitled. The fair market
value of the assets shall be determined by the Board. The gain or loss for each unsold asset shall be determined as if the asset had been sold at its fair market value. All such gains and losses shall be taken into account in determining the Profit
or Loss for such period. 
 4.4.2 All Profit and Loss shall be allocated, and all distributions shall be made, to the Persons shown on the
records of the Company to have been Members as of the last day of the fiscal year for which the allocation or distribution is to be made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Company’s fiscal year is separated into segments, if there is a
Transfer during the fiscal year, the Profit and Loss shall be allocated between the original Member and the successor on the basis of the number of days each was a Member during the fiscal year; provided, however, in the event of such
a Transfer the Company’s fiscal year shall be segregated into two or more segments in order to account for Profit, Loss, or proceeds attributable to any extraordinary nonrecurring items of the Company. 

ARTICLE V 
 MANAGEMENT:
RIGHTS, POWERS, AND DUTIES; MEMBERS 
 5.1 Board. The management and control of the Company and its business and affairs, and the
power to act for and to bind the Company, will be vested exclusively in a board of managers (the “Board”), which shall be comprised of four (4) natural Persons (each such Person, a “Manager”). The Board will be
authorized, without the concurrence, agreement or confirmation of the Members, to exercise all such powers of the Company and to do all such lawful acts and things that are not by law, the Certificate or this Agreement required to be exercised, done
or approved by the Members. 
 5.2 Appointment and Replacement of Managers. 

5.2.1 Each Member shall be entitled to appoint two (2) Managers to the Board (each Manager who QS Member has the right to appoint, a
“QS Manager”, and each Manager who VW Member has the right to appoint, a “VW Manager”). The initial Managers shall be: (i) Mike McCarthy and Howard Lukens, as the QS Managers; and (ii) Axel Heinrich and
Jens Wiese, as the VW Managers. 
 5.2.2 VW Member may, without the approval or consent of any other Member, remove and replace any VW
Manager. QS Member may, without the approval or consent of any other Member, remove and replace any QS Manager. 
 Any appointment, removal
or replacement of a Manager shall be addressed by the acting Member in Writing to all of the other Members and become effective upon receipt by the last of the other Members. 

  
 17 

 Each Manager shall have the right to resign as a Manager at any time upon Written notice to
the Members, such resignation to take effect upon the giving of the required notice or at such later time as shall be specified in the notice and, unless otherwise specified in the notice, the acceptance of the resignation shall not be necessary to
make it effective. If any VW Manager ceases to serve as a Manager for any reason, then VW Member will have the right to appoint, without the approval or consent of QS Member, a successor to such VW Manager. If any QS Manager ceases to serve as a
Manager for any reason, then QS Member will have the right to appoint, without the approval or consent of VW Member, a successor to such QS Manager. 

5.3 Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board shall be held at least on a quarterly basis at such date, time and place as determined by
the Board upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ Written notice to each of the Managers. Additional meetings of the Board may be called by two or more Managers upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ Written notice to each of the
Managers. A notice shall specify the agenda of any meeting and shall include reasonably detailed supporting materials for the Managers to consider the items which are included on such agenda. Notice of a meeting need not be given to any Manager who
signs a waiver of notice or a consent to holding the meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof, whether before or after the meeting, or who attends the meeting without protesting, prior to the commencement of the meeting (in case no proper
notice has been given of such meeting) or the commencement of the agenda item (in case no proper notice has been given of such agenda item), as applicable, the lack of notice to such Manager. All such waivers, consents and approvals shall be filed
with the Company records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting. Meetings of the Board may be held at such time and place either within or without the State of Delaware as is determined by the Board or specified in the notice of any such
meeting. The Board may elect a chairman of the Board, who, if elected, shall preside over all meetings of the Board.  
 5.4
Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given by law or under the provisions of this Agreement, a waiver thereof in Writing, signed by the Person or Persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time of the
event for which notice is to be given, will be deemed equivalent to such notice. Attendance of a Person at a meeting will constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except in relation to such subject matters for which the Person expressly
objects to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. 
 5.5 Quorum; Voting; Deadlock.

 5.5.1 At all meetings of the Board, a majority of the members of the Board will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the act of a majority of the Managers present at any meeting at which there is a quorum will be the act of the Board, provided that at least one (1) QS Manager and at least one
(1) VW Manager have consented to such act. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the Board, the Managers present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time to another place, time or date, without notice other than announcement at
the meeting, until a quorum is present. Each Manager shall have one vote. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the VW Managers, voting together, in consultation with (but not subject to the approval of) the QS Managers, shall have the right to appoint a
nationally recognized accounting firm to prepare all audited financial statements and to review tax returns required to be filed by the Company. 

  
 18 

 5.5.2 A Manager entitled to vote at any meeting of the Board may authorize another natural
person, including another Manager, to act in his or her place by proxy; provided, that notice and evidence of such proxy must be delivered to the Company or its counsel in advance of any Board meeting or action in order for such proxy to be
effective. For the avoidance of doubt: (a) any natural person authorized by proxy to act in the place of a Manager shall be deemed to be in full attendance on behalf of himself or herself as well as on behalf of the proxy-giving Manager at all
meetings, and in connection with all votes or actions during which such natural person in possession of such proxy is present or participating; and (b) if such natural person is also a Manager, then both the vote conveyed by such proxy and the
vote of the natural person possessing such proxy who is a Manager, shall be counted together, and they shall constitute two full votes by two Managers. Without limiting any of the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, a vote made via a
proxy shall count: (i) toward a vote of the Board; and (ii) for any other purpose or reason under this Agreement. 
 5.5.3 A
“Deadlock Matter” shall be deemed to occur with respect to any matter if: (A) the affirmative vote by a majority of the Board or Members, respectively, is required for the approval of such matter; (B) such matter is
properly presented for approval by the Board or Members, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (C) such matter is not approved by the Board or Members, as the case may be, in which case the
Deadlock Matter shall be deemed to occur as of the date that such matter is not approved by the Board or Members, as the case may be. Following the occurrence of a Deadlock Matter, the two (2) Managers or Member who proposed to approve the
Deadlock Matter may request that the Deadlock Matter be submitted for resolution in accordance with this Section 5.5.3 by delivering a Written request to both Members within thirty (30) days following the occurrence of
the Deadlock Matter (a “Deadlock Notice”). Following the delivery of a Deadlock Notice, the Members shall use their best efforts to resolve such Deadlock Matter. If a Deadlock Matter cannot be resolved within thirty
(30) days from receipt of a Deadlock Notice, then the Deadlock Matter shall be escalated to senior executives of QS (on behalf of QS Member) and VWGoA (on behalf of VW Member) who have authority to resolve the Deadlock Matter and who are at a
higher level of management than each Member’s designated Managers, who shall attempt in good faith to promptly resolve the Deadlock Matter. If such senior executives cannot resolve the Deadlock Matter after an additional thirty (30) days
of negotiations, then the two (2) Managers or Member, as the case may be, who voted in favor of the proposed action shall have the right to submit such Deadlock Matter for mediation administered by JAMS, or its successor, to be conducted in
Washington, D.C. The Members will cooperate with JAMS and with one another in selecting a mediator from the JAMS panel of neutrals and in scheduling the mediation proceedings. The Members agree that they will participate in the mediation in good
faith and that they will share equally in its costs. If the Deadlock Matter cannot be resolved through the above-referenced resolution process, then no further action shall be taken on such proposed action unless and until it is resolved by the
Board or Members, as the case may be.
 5.6 Participation in Meetings by Telephone or Video Conference. Members of the Board or any
committee designated by the Board will be entitled to participate in any meeting of the Board or any such committee, as the case may be, through telephonic, video conference or similar communications equipment by means of which all Persons
participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting will constitute presence in person at the meeting. 

  
 19 

 5.7 Action by Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of
the Board, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting, if consented to in Writing by Managers possessing the authority to approve such action if a vote to approve such action had instead been taken at a meeting of the Board, in
which event a copy of such consent shall promptly be given to all Managers and the Writing or Writings or electronic transmission or transmissions shall be filed with the minutes or proceedings of the Board or committee. 

5.8 Affiliated Transactions. To the extent a Manager in any way, directly or indirectly (including by virtue of the Member who
designated the Manager and/or any Affiliate(s) of such Member having an interest), has an interest in any action to be taken, or not to be taken, by the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries, in particular in any contract or transaction with the
Company and/or any of its subsidiaries (including any amendment, modification or termination thereof and/or any waiver of rights thereunder) (in each such case, an “Interested Manager”): (a) such Interested Manager must disclose in
Writing the nature and extent of such Interested Manager’s interest to the Board; and (b) such action must be approved unanimously by the Managers other than the Interested Managers or any proxy of any Interested Manager; provided, that
for purposes of such unanimous approval, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.5.1, there shall be no quorum requirement. Transactions between the Company or a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, on the one hand, and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, on the other hand, shall not be subject to this Section 5.8. 
 5.9 Business
Plan. The Members have adopted the Current Business Plan. Prior to November 1st of each Fiscal Year, the authorized Officers or other representatives of the Company who the Board designates
with such authority and responsibility shall submit to the Board a proposed annual business plan for the following five (5) Fiscal Years, which will include a proposed annual budget and detailed annual business plan each for the immediately
following Fiscal Year (each, a “Proposed Business Plan”). Not later than thirty (30) days after the submission of the Proposed Business Plan to the Board, the Board shall meet to commence consideration of such Proposed Business
Plan; provided that such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (each approved business plan, the “Business Plan”). The Board shall direct the Officers or other authorized representatives of the
Company to use their reasonable best efforts to operate the Company in material compliance with the then-current Business Plan, subject to the oversight and direction of the Board, including any specific approval rights of the Board. Until the Board
adopts a Business Plan for an applicable Fiscal Year, the portion of the prior year’s Business Plan that covers such Fiscal Year shall control; provided, however, if the Board is unable to approve a new Business Plan within
eighteen months of the approval of the last Business Plan then either Member can treat such failure as a Deadlock Matter. 
 5.10
Committees. 
 (a) The Board may designate one or more committees, each such committee to consist of two or more Managers, and each
committee will have such lawfully delegable powers and duties as the Board may confer. Each committee of the Board will serve at the pleasure of the Board or as may be specified in any resolution from time to time adopted by the Board. 

  
 20 

 (b) Except as otherwise provided by law or otherwise in this Agreement, and only within the
scope of the authority and duties delegated to such committee, any committee of the Board will have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in the direction of the management of the business and affairs of the Company. Any such
committee designated by the Board will have such name as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board. Unless otherwise prescribed by the Board, a majority of the members of any committee of the Board will constitute a
quorum for the transaction of business. The act of a majority of the committee members present at a meeting at which there is a quorum will be the act of such committee, provided that at least one (1) QS Manager and at least one (1) VW
Manager have consented to such act. Each committee of the Board may prescribe its own rules for calling and holding meetings and its method of procedure, subject to any rules prescribed by the Board, and will keep a Written record of all actions
taken by it; provided, however, that any committee meeting will require at least two days’ prior notice to each committee member by whom such notice is not waived. 

5.11 Reliance upon Books, Reports and Records. The Board and any Officer of the Company will, in the performance of their respective
duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by its Members, Officers or employees, or by any other Person, as to matters the
Board or any such Officer reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company. 

5.12 Fiduciary Duties. Each Member agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by the Act (including, without limitation, Section 18-1101 of the Act, or any successor provision under Delaware law) and other applicable laws, no Manager, Officer, or Member shall have any duties or obligations to the Company, any Member, Manager,
Officer or any other Person except as expressly set forth below. Furthermore, each of the Members and the Company hereby waives any fiduciary duties that, absent such waiver, may be implied by applicable law to any Manager, Officer or Member or any
of their respective Affiliates, and in doing so, acknowledges and agrees that the duties and obligations of the Board to the Company and the other Members are only as expressly set forth in this Agreement. 

5.13 Appointment of Officers. The Board may appoint officers (each, an “Officer”) and other third parties to undertake
certain of its authorities and responsibilities for day-to-day operation of the business and affairs of the Company and grant such Officers and other third parties such
responsibilities and duties, as it may deem necessary or appropriate to effectuate the provisions of this Agreement and to conduct the day-to-day business and affairs of
the Company. Any Officer selected or appointed by the Board may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the Board. Any number of offices may be held by the same person and two or more persons may hold the same office. 

5.14 Limitations on Authority. 

5.14.1 General Limitation. None of the Managers or Officers shall do any act in contravention of this Agreement, or possess Company

counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Board and counsel for the Company (which opinion may be waived, in whole or in part, at the discretion of the Board upon the advice of counsel for the

8.9.5 a policy on conflicts of interests and process for disclosure and evaluation of such conflicts; 

8.9.6 an anti-bribery and anti-corruption policy designed to prevent and detect bribery and corruption, maintaining complete and accurate books

 8.9.6.1 prohibition of
both public related bribery and commercial bribery; 
 8.9.6.2 prohibition of both giving/offering bribes and accepting/soliciting bribes;

limited to, vendors and vehicle manufacturers), with a focus on third parties who are government officials or interacting on the JV Entity’s behalf with government officials; and 

  
 19 

 8.9.8 a periodic compliance risk assessment to identify compliance related risks and
procedures to take appropriate steps to design and improve internal controls. 
 8.10 The Parties agree that the CMS and RMS/ICS shall be
audited and certified by a reputable independent third party (the identity of which the Parties shall mutually agree) within six (6) months of the earlier of: (i) the Phase 1 Payment Date; and (ii) any
Pre-Phase 1 Additional Capital Contribution. 
 8.11 After the Effective Date, each of VWGoA or QS
upon notice to the other (before the incorporation of the JV Entity) or to the Board (as defined in the LLC Agreement) (after the incorporation of the JV Entity) may conduct an independent compliance check on the formation and operation of the JV
Entity at its own expense. VWGoA may delegate such right to any of its controlled Affiliates. Such compliance check may not be requested more than once per any twelve-month period, unless a material deficiency is shown, in which event the compliance
check may be requested more frequently. The non-requesting Parties shall cooperate with, and ensure that their respective Managers and Officers (each as defined in the LLC Agreement), other personnel appointed
to the JV Entity and any other Persons assigned by the applicable Party who are authorized to act in any way on the JV Entity’s behalf, cooperate with, such compliance check. 

8.12 In the event that any Party has reason to believe that the JV Entity or any of its Managers or Officers (each as defined in the LLC
Agreement), other personnel or any third parties (including any other Persons assigned by any Party) who are authorized to act in any way on the JV Entity’s behalf, commit a breach of any provision of this Section 8,
such Party shall immediately inform the other Parties of this information and the relevant evidence. The Parties shall ensure that the JV Entity and the Board (as defined in the LLC Agreement) follow the process mentioned in
Section 8.9.4 to investigate the potential breach. 
 8.13 After the investigation, if the breach exists, the
Parties shall ensure that the JV Entity and the Board (as defined in the LLC Agreement) follow Section 8.9.4 to take disciplinary action up to and including dismissal against the Person related to such breach and take
corrective action. 
 8.14 In the event that a breach of any provision of this Section 8 is committed by either
Party, to the extent the nature of the breach allows a remedy by the breaching Party, each of the non-breaching Parties grants the breaching Party the opportunity to remedy any breach within a reasonable
remedy period of not less than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days. The breaching Party may request from the non-breaching Parties a reasonable extension of such remedy period if the
breaching Party commenced the remediation of the breach without undue delay but is unable to remedy such breach within the original remedy period due to reasons which are not related to breaching Party. 

8.15 To the extent the nature of the breach of any provision of this Section 8 by the breaching Party does not allow
a remedy or such breach continues after the lapse of the period set forth in Section 8.14 above, the breaching Party shall indemnify and hold the non-breaching Parties harmless
against any costs, expenses, liabilities or losses suffered or incurred.
