The Notes and the equity securities issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.” Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meaning given them in the Note.
AGREEMENT
The parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale of Notes.
(a) Sale and Issuance of Notes. Each Purchaser hereby confirms its good faith intention to purchase Notes, in one or more closings as soon as practicable, in the aggregate principal amount set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A-1 under “Indications of Interest”. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase at the Closing (as defined below), and the Company agrees to sell and issue to each Purchaser a Note in the principal amount set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A-2 under “Schedule of Purchasers”. The purchase price of each Note shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Note. The Company’s agreements with each of the Purchasers are separate agreements, and the sales of the Notes to each of the Purchasers are separate sales.
(b) Closing; Delivery.
(i) The purchase and sale of the Notes shall take place remotely by the electronic exchange among the parties and their counsel of all documents and deliverables required under this Agreement at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time Zone no later than three (3) Business Days (as defined below) after the satisfaction or waiver of all of the closing conditions set forth in Sections 6 and Section 7 hereto, or in such other manner or at such other place or later time as the Company and the Purchasers mutually agree upon, orally or in writing (which time and place are designated as the “Initial Closing”). In the event there is more than one closing, the term “Closing” shall apply to each such closing, unless otherwise specified herein. Promptly after each Closing pursuant to this Section 1(b), Exhibit A-2 will be amended to list the Purchasers in that Closing, including the name of each Purchaser and the investment total for each Purchaser’s Note, and any such amendment shall not be deemed to be an amendment under this Agreement. As used herein, the term “Business Day” shall mean any day which is not (i) a Saturday or Sunday or (ii) a day on which banks in San Francisco, CA, Tokyo and London are authorized or required to be closed.
(ii) At each Closing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser the Note to be purchased by such Purchaser against (1) payment of the purchase price therefor by check payable to the Company or by wire transfer to a bank designated by the Company, (2) delivery of counterpart signature pages to this Agreement and the Note and (3) except with respect to SoftBank (as defined below) delivery of a validly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN/W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-9 or similar form, as applicable, establishing such Purchaser’s exemption from withholding tax.

(iii) Until such time as the aggregate amount of principal indebtedness evidenced by the Notes equals a total of $50,000,000, the Company may sell additional Notes to such persons or entities as determined by the Company. All such sales shall be made on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, and all other agreements contemplated hereby, any additional purchaser so acquiring Notes shall be deemed to be a “Purchaser” for purposes of this Agreement, and any notes so acquired by such additional purchaser shall be deemed to be “Notes.”

3. Subordination. The indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall be expressly subordinated to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Subordination Agreement (defined below) and each Purchaser hereby agrees to enter into such agreements and take such additional action as may be necessary to effect such subordination in accordance with the terms of the Notes.

Each Purchaser also agrees to notify the Company if such Purchaser or any person or entity with whom such Purchaser shares beneficial ownership of Company securities becomes subject to such disqualifications after the date hereof (so long as such Purchaser or any such person beneficially owns any equity securities of the Company).

(iii) Stop-Transfer Instructions. In order to enforce the foregoing covenants, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the securities of each Purchaser (and the securities of every other person subject to the restrictions in Section 5(i)(i)).
(iv) Transferees Bound. Each Purchaser agrees that prior to the Company’s initial public offering it will not transfer securities of the Company unless each transferee agrees in writing to be bound by all of the provisions of this Section 5(i).
(v) Subsequent Agreements. To the extent any Purchaser becomes a party to any agreement with the Company containing a lock-up agreement similar to this Section 5(i) (a “Subsequent Agreement”), such Subsequent Agreement shall supersede and replace the terms of this Section 5(i) in their entirety.

Each Purchaser represents that any consideration to be paid for Securities pursuant to this Agreement does not derive from activity that is or was contrary to law or from a person or location that is or was the subject of a United States embargo or other economic sanction and that no consideration to be paid for Securities in accordance with this Agreement will provide the basis for liability for any person under United States anti-money laundering laws or economic sanctions laws.

SUBORDINATED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
| $___________________ | __________, 0000 | |
| Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx |
For value received, Getaround, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay to ____________________ (the “Holder”), the principal sum of __________________________ ($_________). Interest shall accrue from the date of this Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”) on the unpaid principal amount at a rate equal to 1.85% per annum, compounded annually, on the basis of a year of 365 days. If a Qualified Financing, Qualified IPO, SPAC Transaction or Liquidation Transaction (as such terms are defined herein) is consummated, all interest on this Note shall be deemed to have stopped accruing as of a date selected by the Company that is up to 10 calendar days prior to the closing of such Qualified Financing, Qualified IPO, SPAC Transaction or Liquidation Transaction, provided that the Company shall give the Holder notice of such date and the total principal and accrued interest as of such date within two (2) days of the selection thereof. This Note is subject to the following terms and conditions.
1. Basic Terms.
(a) Maturity. While this Note is outstanding, principal and any accrued but unpaid interest under this Note shall be due and payable upon written demand of the Holder at any time on or after May 31, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”). Subject to Section 2 and 3 below, interest shall accrue on this Note and shall be due and payable with each installment of principal.
(b) Series of Notes. This Note is one of a series of Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes containing substantially identical terms and conditions issued pursuant to that certain Subordinated Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of May [ ], 2022 and amended thereafter (as amended the “Purchase Agreement”). Such Notes are referred to herein as the “Notes,” the holders thereof are referred to herein as the “Holders,” and the Holders of a majority of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes are referred to herein as the “Requisite Holders.” The Company shall maintain a ledger of all Holders. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meaning given them in the Purchase Agreement. All Notes shall rank pari passu in right of repayment.
(c) Securities. The Notes and the equity securities issuable upon conversion thereof are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.”
(d) Payment; Prepayment. All payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America at such place as the Holder hereof may from time to time designate in writing to the Company. Payment shall be credited first to any expenses due and payable in accordance with Section 6 hereof or Section 10 of the Purchase Agreement, then to the accrued interest then due and payable, and the remainder shall be applied to principal. Except with respect to a repayment pursuant to Section 2(d), the Company shall not prepay this Note at any time without the written consent of the Requisite Holders, and any such prepayment shall be made to all Holders on a pari passu basis.
-2-
(e) Security; Priority. This Note is a general unsecured obligation of the Company. This Note shall be subordinated in right of payment to all current and future indebtedness of the Company for borrowed money (whether or not such indebtedness is secured) to banks, commercial finance lenders or other institutions regularly engaged in the business of lending money in accordance with and pursuant to one or more customary subordination agreements to be executed with such lenders in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Requisite Holders.
2. Conversion or Repayment.
(a) Qualified Financing Conversion. In the event that the Company issues and sells shares of its preferred stock (“Next Equity Securities”) to investors (“Investors”) in an equity financing on or after January 1, 2023 with total cash proceeds to the Company of not less than $50,000,000 (excluding the conversion of the Notes and any other indebtedness for borrowed money or amounts received on account of Simple Agreements for Future Equity or similar convertible instruments), (such equity financing, a “Qualified Financing”) prior to repayment or conversion in full of this Note, the outstanding principal and any accrued but unpaid interest under this Note (the “Conversion Amount”) shall automatically convert in whole without any further action required by the Holder into shares of Next Equity Securities at a conversion price equal to 70% of the lowest price paid per share paid in cash (or cash equivalents) by the Investors for Next Equity Securities in the Qualified Financing (the “Qualified Financing Conversion Price”). Such conversion shall be effected at such closing in which the financing qualifies as a Qualified Financing. Except for the Qualified Financing Conversion Price, the issuance of Next Equity Securities pursuant to the conversion of this Note pursuant to the terms of this Section 2(a) shall be upon and subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the Next Equity Securities sold in the Qualified Financing. In connection with conversion of this Note upon a Qualified Financing, the Holder hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Company all transaction documents related to the Qualified Financing executed by the investors in the Qualified Financing, including a purchase agreement and other ancillary agreements, with customary representations and warranties and transfer restrictions, including a lock-up agreement in connection with an initial public offering.
(b) Conversion upon the consummation of a Qualified Initial Public Offering. In the event the Company consummates a Qualified IPO (as defined in the Company’s Eleventh Amended & Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time, the “Restated Certificate”) prior to the Maturity Date, the Conversion Amount shall automatically convert in whole without any further action by the Holder into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to 70% of the initial offering price (the “Qualified IPO Conversion Price”). Such conversion shall take place immediately prior to the initial sale and issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock in the Qualified IPO, and the shares issuable upon such conversion shall be entered in the Holder’s name in book-entry form in the name of the Holder (i) without a restrictive legend under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if such conversion has happened more than 180 days after the date of the Qualified IPO, unless the Holder is then an affiliate of the Company, and (ii) with applicable lock-up restrictions.
(c) Conversion upon the consummation of a SPAC Transaction. In the event the Company consummates a SPAC Transaction (as defined below) prior to the Maturity Date, pursuant to such SPAC Transaction, the Conversion Amount shall automatically convert, upon closing of the SPAC Transaction, in whole without any further action by the Holder into shares of Common Stock (the “SPAC Shares”) of the special purpose acquisition company (the “Issuer”) at a conversion price that is equal to 70% of the SPAC Share price of $10.00 per share (the “SPAC Conversion Price”). The SPAC Shares
-3-
issued pursuant to the conversion of this Note under this Section 2(c) shall have the same registration rights as are provided to other stockholders of the Company pursuant to the SPAC Transaction. In connection with such conversion of this Note, the Holder hereby agrees to execute and deliver all transaction documents related to such SPAC Transaction as the Issuer may reasonably request. The term “SPAC Transaction” means a transaction or series of related transactions (whether by merger, consolidation, reorganization, business combination or otherwise) whereby a special purpose acquisition company acquires equity interests of the Company (or any surviving or resulting company) and which transaction results in the Company (or any surviving or resulting company into which the Company is merged, consolidated, reorganized or combined), or any parent company that directly or indirectly beneficially owns the Company, being listed on a U.S. national securities exchange or market.
(d) Liquidation Transaction. In the event of a Liquidation Transaction (as defined in the Restated Certificate) other than a SPAC Transaction, upon the consummation of such Liquidation Transaction, this Note shall be convert into the right to receive payment in cash equal to (i) any unpaid accrued interest on this Note plus (ii) the outstanding principal amount of this Note multiplied by 1.5 plus (iii) any unpaid costs and expenses that have accrued in accordance with Section 6 hereof or Sections 10(l) or 10(m) of the Purchase Agreement. In connection with conversion of this Note upon a Liquidation Transaction pursuant to the prior sentence, the Holder hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Company a customary payoff letter and other reasonably requested documents, if any, as required to consummate the Liquidation Transaction.
(e) Effect of Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, an automatic conversion of this Note shall require the express prior written consent of the Requisite Holders following the occurrence of any uncured Event of Default under this Note not cured within the prescribed period (to the extent permitted to be so cured in accordance with the terms hereof), and as may be further amended, modified, restated, replaced or supplemented from time to time.
3. Mechanics and Effect of Conversion. In connection with any conversion of this Note, the Holder shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed, to the Company or any transfer agent of the Company, and shall deliver to the Company any other documentation reasonably required by the Company in connection with such conversion (including, in the event of a conversion of this Note into capital stock, the applicable transaction documents, as described in and subject to any restrictions set forth in Section 2). The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver the capital stock or other property into which this Note may convert until the Holder has surrendered this Note to the Company and delivered to the Company such documentation. No fractional shares of the Company’s capital stock will be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, at the request of the Holder the Company will pay to the Holder in cash the amount of the unconverted principal and interest balance of this Note that would otherwise be converted into such fractional share. Upon conversion of this Note, the Company will be forever released from all of its obligations and liabilities under this Note with regard to that portion of the principal amount and accrued interest being converted including without limitation the obligation to pay such portion of the principal amount and accrued interest.
4. Stockholders, Officers and Directors Not Liable. In no event shall any stockholder, officer or director of the Company be liable for any amounts due or payable pursuant to this Note.
5. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or the Purchase Agreement (the “Loan Documents”), the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Holder shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal remaining owed under this Note or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Company. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or
-4-
received by the Holder exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Holder may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of this Note.
6. Action to Collect on Note. The Company shall pay on demand all of the Holder’s costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees and in connection with any legal proceeding, incurred in connection with Holder’s efforts to collect on this Note following the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default.
7. Loss of Note. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note or any Note exchanged for it, and indemnity satisfactory to the Company (in case of loss, theft or destruction) or surrender and cancellation of such Note (in the case of mutilation), the Company will make and deliver in lieu of such Note a new Note of like tenor.
8. Event of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under the Notes and the Purchase Agreement:
(a) Failure to Pay. The Company shall fail to pay, when due any principal or interest payment due under any of the Notes;
(b) Breaches of Covenants. The Company shall fail to observe or perform any material obligation, condition or agreement contained in the Note or the Purchase Agreement and such failure shall continue for ten (10) days (other than for those specified in Section 8(a) of the Note, which shall instead be subject to a three (3) day cure period) after the Company’s receipt of written notice to the Company of such failure;
(c) Representation Default. Any representation, warranty or certification made by the Company herein or in the Purchase Agreement or in any certificate, report, document, agreement or instrument delivered pursuant to any provision hereof or thereof shall prove to have been false or incorrect in any material respect on the date or dates as of which made (any such falsity being a “Representation Default”) and, to the extent the event or circumstances giving rise to such Representation Default is amenable to being cured such that the Representation Default would no longer exist, such Representation Default shall continue uncured for a period of ten (10) days after the Company knew or should have known, exercising reasonable diligence, of the event or circumstances giving rise to such Representation Default;
(d) Voluntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. The Company shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property, (ii) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they mature, (iii) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iv) be dissolved or liquidated, (v) commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession of its property by any official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or (vi) take any action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing; or
(e) Involuntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. Proceedings for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of the Company, or of all or a substantial part of the property thereof, or an involuntary case or other proceedings seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Company or any of its debts thereof under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect shall be commenced and an order for relief entered or such proceeding shall not be dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days of commencement.
-5-
9. Rights of Holders upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 8(d) or Section 8(e)) and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, the Requisite Holders, by written notice to the Company, may declare all outstanding principal amounts of the Notes, together with any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the Purchase Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 8(d) or Section 8(e), immediately and without notice or further action by the Holder or the Requisite Holders, all outstanding principal amounts of the Notes, together with any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the Purchase Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition to the foregoing remedies, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Requisite Holders may exercise any other right power or remedy granted to them by the Notes or the Purchase Agreement or otherwise permitted by law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both. The Company shall give the Holders prompt (and in any case within 2 business days) written notice of becoming aware of the occurrence of a default or event of default under Senior Indebtedness.
10. Subordination.
(a) The indebtedness evidenced by this Note is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in an applicable Subordination Agreement (described below), in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all of the Company’s Senior Indebtedness, subject to the terms and conditions of such Subordination Agreement. The Holder further agrees to execute a customary form of subordination agreement, as requested by any current or future lender to the Company, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Requisite Holders, to effect the foregoing subordination, including, without limitation, that certain Subordination Agreement by and among Lucid Trustee Services Limited, the lenders party thereto from time to time, and the Holders, dated October 7, 2021 (the “Subordination Agreement”). “Senior Indebtedness” shall mean the principal of and unpaid interest and premium, if any, on (i) indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or with respect to which the Company is a guarantor, whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter created, to banks, commercial finance lenders or other institutions regularly engaged in the business of lending money, whether or not secured, (ii) any deferrals, renewals or extensions or any debentures, notes or other evidence of indebtedness issued in exchange for such Senior Indebtedness, and (iii) that indebtedness set forth in that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of October 7, 2021 by and between the Company and Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as Lead Arranger. Nothing contained in this the preceding paragraphs shall impair, as between the Company and the Holder, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holder hereof the principal hereof and interest hereon as and when the same shall become due and payable, or shall prevent the Holder, upon default hereunder, from exercising all rights, powers and remedies otherwise provided herein or by applicable law, all subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of Senior Indebtedness under the preceding paragraphs to receive cash or other properties otherwise payable or deliverable to the Holder pursuant to this Note.
-6-
11. Miscellaneous.
(a) Tax Treatment. The parties intend to treat the Notes as equity (and not debt) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless as required by a final determination (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code) or settlement with respect to a tax audit, contest or similar proceeding. The Company agrees to treat, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) the income with respect to the Notes as accruing at a rate not in excess of the stated annual coupon, and (ii) any conversion of the Notes as a transaction in which gain or loss is not recognized to the Purchaser; in each case, unless the Purchaser has given written consent or as required by a final determination (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code) or settlement with respect to a tax audit, contest or similar proceeding. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide any information reasonably requested by the Purchaser necessary to enable the Purchaser to comply with its U.S. federal income tax reporting obligations, including, but not limited to, a determination of the amount of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits in any taxable year where such determination is relevant to determining the amount (if any) of any distribution received or deemed received by the Purchaser from the Company that is properly treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
(b) Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Note, and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the Company and Holder shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.
(c) Entire Agreement. This Note, together with the Purchase Agreement and the documents referred to therein, constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and the Holder relating to the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous discussions, understandings and agreements, whether oral or written between them relating to the subject matter hereof.
(d) Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Note may be amended or waived only with the written consent of the Company and the Requisite Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such amendment or waiver shall not be effective with respect to any Holder unless consented to by such Holder if such amendment or waiver would (i) modify any requirement hereunder that any particular action be taken by a Holder; (ii) modify this Section 11(c) or subject the Holder to any additional obligations; (iii) affect the ranking of this Note compared to the other Notes in a manner adverse to Holder or otherwise treat this Note differently from any other Notes; (iv) make this Note payable in money or securities other than those stated in this Note; (v) change the principal or interest of this Note; or (vi) change the repayment or conversion terms of this Note in a manner adverse to such Holder. In addition, any amendment or waiver of the last sentence of Section 1(d) (regarding prepayment of the Notes) or this sentence will require the unanimous consent of all Holders. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 11(c) shall be binding upon the Company, the Holder and each transferee of any Note.
(e) Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this Note shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the Company and the Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company or the Holder may assign, pledge, or otherwise transfer this Note without the prior written consent of the other party. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Note may be transferred only upon surrender of the original Note for registration of transfer, duly endorsed, or accompanied by a duly executed written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company. Thereupon, a new note for the same principal amount and interest will be issued to, and registered in the name of, the transferee. Interest and principal are payable only to the registered holder of this Note.
(f) Notices. Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be given under this Note shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficient when delivered personally or by overnight courier or sent by email, or 48 hours after being deposited in the U.S. mail as certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, addressed to the party to be notified at such party’s address as set forth on the signature page, as subsequently modified by written notice, or if no address is specified on the signature page, at the most recent address set forth in the Company’s books and records.
