At the Closing, the Investor and Xxxx shall execute and deliver to each other the Registration Rights Agreement.

None of the SEC Reports filed under the Exchange Act included, when filed or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment with respect to those disclosures that are amended, 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. There are no material outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters received by Xxxx (or any affiliate or subsidiary thereof) from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the SEC with respect to any of the SEC Reports.

There is no suit, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to Xxxx’s knowledge, threatened against Joby (or any affiliate or subsidiary thereof) by the NYSE or the SEC, including with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister such shares of Common Stock or prohibit or terminate the listing of such shares of Common Stock on the NYSE, excluding, for the purposes of clarity, the customary periodic review of certain periodic reports filed by Joby with the SEC. Xxxx has taken no action that would be reasonably expected to terminate, or lead to the termination of, the registration of such shares of Common Stock under the Exchange Act prior to the Closing.
(l)There is no (i) material suit, action, proceeding or arbitration before a governmental authority or arbitrator pending, or threatened in writing against Joby or (ii) except as previously and expressly disclosed in Xxxx’s public filings with the SEC prior to the date hereof, judgment, decree, injunction, ruling or order of any governmental authority or arbitrator outstanding against Joby.
(m)Joby 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. None of Joby nor its affiliates or subsidiaries have taken any action which could result in Investor being required to pay any such fee or commission.
