(b) The Shares are duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to the Investor (or its nominee(s) or custodian, as applicable) after full payment thereof in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and will not have been issued (i) in violation of or subject to any preemptive or similar rights created under the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) in effect as of the time the Shares are issued or under Delaware General Corporation Law, or (ii) in violation of applicable law. (c) Each of this Subscription Agreement, the Other Subscription Agreements the Registration Rights Agreement, and the Stellantis Amendment and Election Documents (the
4 “Transaction Documents”) have been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by a duly authorized representative of the Company. The signature of the Company on each of the Transaction Documents is genuine, and such signatory has been duly authorized to execute each of the Transaction Documents. Assuming that each applicable Transaction Document is validly executed and delivered by a duly authorized representative of the Investor or the applicable Other Investor, such Transaction Document constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally. (d) The execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription Agreement, including the issuance and sale by the Company of the shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Transaction Documents are within the corporate powers of the Company, and do not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject, (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the Company’s organizational documents, including, without limitation, its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as may be applicable, or (iii) result in a breach, default or any other violation of any applicable statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court, other tribunal or any governmental commission, agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties (or that of any of its subsidiaries), provided that, in the case of each of (i) and (iii) any such breach, default or violation does not individually or in the aggregate materially affect the validity of the issuance of the Shares or the authority of the Company to comply with its obligations under the Subscription Agreements and the Registration Rights Agreement. (e) As of their respective filing dates, all reports required to be filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) since September 17, 2021 (the “SEC Reports”) complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder. None of the SEC Reports, when filed or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment with respect to those disclosures that are amended, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited financial statements, to normal, year-end audit adjustments. A copy of each SEC Report is available to the Investor via the SEC’s EDGAR system.

Except for any alternative settlement procedures, eligibility for qualified purchasers to invest, and other than terms particular to the regulatory requirements of such Other Investors or its affiliates or related funds, no Other Subscription Agreement includes terms and conditions that are materially more favorable to any such Other Investor than the terms and conditions applicable to the Investor hereunder, and such Other Subscription Agreements reflect the same Per Share Purchase Price.

(m) Except as previously and expressly disclosed in the SEC Reports, there is no material (i) suit, action, proceeding or arbitration before a governmental authority or arbitrator pending, or threatened in writing against the Company or (ii) judgment, decree, injunction, ruling or order of any governmental authority or arbitrator outstanding against the Company. The Company has not received any written communication from a governmental authority that alleges that the Company is not in compliance with, or is in default or violation of, any applicable law, except where such non-compliance, default or violation would not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”). (n) The Company is not under any obligation to pay any broker’s or finder’s fee or commission (or similar fee) in connection with the sale of the Shares, other than to the Placement Agent.

Except as set forth in the financial statements of the Company, there are no off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), and other relationships of the Company with unconsolidated entities or other persons which would, individually or in the aggregate, have had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
