the extent that the Resultant Technology developed hereunder includes, as part of its constituent elements, any technology previously
owned by Atlis or any of Atlis’s previously and already existing intellectual property, Atlis hereby provides such licenses, if
any and if needed, to AusEV or any AusEV successor, as may be necessary for AusEV to fully enjoy its rights to enjoy profits from sales
referenced above, and as are necessary for AusEV to fully enjoy the benefits of this Agreement and of any future or subsequent agreement
the parties may enter into with respect to future development and sales and exploitation of the Resultant Technology which results from
their collaboration, but said license is limited solely to the sale of XT trucks (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Resultant
Technology XT Trucks) in the AusEV Territory.

(c)      AusEV
is provided no license hereunder to utilize intellectual property which belonged to Atlis prior to entering into this Agreement (or which
was developed separately by Atlis during the period of this Agreement) without prior written approval from Atlis. All uses of Atlis’s
intellectual property for purposes unrelated to the Resultant Technology are retained solely by Atlis.

all rights in connection with any compliance and certification (including any test results, authorizations, licenses and permits granted
by any government agency, and any material provided by or on behalf of AusEV to any government agency or third party in connection with
any compliance and certification) within the AusEV Territory. 

 

		6.	Indemnification.
                                            

 

Each Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the other Party (each, an “Indemnifying Party”), its officers, directors, employees, legal counsel and its affiliates (each,
an “Indemnified Party”) against any and all claims brought by any third party for any losses, claims, damages and liabilities,
joint or several, and for the expenses related to any such third-party claim (including all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred)
caused by or arising out of or alleged by the subject third party to arise out of or be caused by (i) any breach or alleged breach of
any representation, warranty or covenant made by a Party in this Agreement, or (ii) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct
in performing the obligations described herein. The Indemnifying Party agrees to reimburse the Indemnified Party for any reasonable expense
(including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred as a result of producing documents, presenting testimony or evidence, or
preparing to present testimony or evidence (based upon time expended by the Indemnified Party at its then current time charges or if
such person shall have no established time charges, then based upon reasonable charges), in connection with any court or administrative
proceeding (including any investigation which may be preliminary thereto) arising out of or relating to the performance by the Indemnified

to the other hereunder as a traditional supplier, and nothing in this Agreement will in any way be construed to constitute or create
a formal joint venture, legal partnership, or new company, nor is either Party hereto an agent, employee or representative of the other
Party by virtue of this Agreement. Neither Party will enter into any agreement on behalf of the other Party or commit the other Party
in any manner or make any representations, warranties or promises on the other Party’s behalf or hold itself (or allow itself to
be held out) as having any authority whatsoever to bind the other Party without prior written consent.

Covenant against Assignment. This Agreement
is personal to the parties hereto, and accordingly neither the Agreement nor any right hereunder or interest herein may be assigned or
transferred or charged or otherwise dealt with by either party without the express written consent of the other, such consent to not
be unreasonably withheld.

 

Amendment. This Agreement and the attached
exhibits constitute the entire contract between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior agreements
between the Parties. This Agreement may not be amended, nor any obligation hereunder waived, except by an agreement in writing executed
by, in the case of an amendment, each of the Parties, and, in the case of a waiver, by the Party waiving performance.

 

No Waiver. The failure or delay by a party
to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not in any way be construed as a waiver of any such provision or prevent that Party from
thereafter enforcing any other provision of this Agreement. The rights granted both Parties hereunder are cumulative and will not constitute
a waiver of either Party’s right to assert any other legal remedy available to it.

 

Severability. Should any provision of
this Agreement be found to be illegal or unenforceable, the other provisions will nevertheless remain effective and will remain enforceable
to the greatest extent permitted by law.
