Section 4.Cooperative Marketing Efforts; Preferred Provider.

4.1.Mitsui as Preferred Provider. LanzaTech hereby designates, and shall cause its Affiliates to designate, Mitsui as LanzaTech’s and its Affiliates’ “Preferred Provider” with respect to the marketing, promotion and providing of Alliance Services to Customers. Accordingly, LanzaTech hereby covenants and agrees, during the Term, as follows:

(a)(i) Anywhere in the world other than in Japan and (ii) in the case of LanzaTech CarbonSmart Technology anywhere in the world including Japan, LanzaTech shall identify Mitsui and promote Mitsui, and shall cause its Affiliates to identify Mitsui and promote Mitsui, as its and their Preferred Provider of Alliance Services in connection with (i) any Joint Promotion or any other joint or individual marketing or promotional efforts regarding an Offering or LanzaTech Technology, (ii) any Customer request for LanzaTech to provide, cause to be provided or assist in locating a provider of any Alliance Services and/or (iii) any project involving LanzaTech Technology and any Alliance Services. LanzaTech will not identify, promote or introduce to any Customer any alternative provider of Alliance Services except as (x) expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement or (y) approved in advance in writing by Mitsui; and

(b)Except for LanzaTech CarbonSmart Technology to which Section 4.1(a)(ii) applies, commencing as of the Effective Date and continuing for an initial period of [***] (such period, together with any renewal thereof in accordance with this Section 4.1(b), the “Exclusivity

Term”), in Japan, LanzaTech hereby appoints Mitsui as its and its Affiliates’ exclusive provider (even with respect to LanzaTech) of all Alliance Services in connection with the implementation or use by any Customer of the LanzaTech Technology, and any products or services incorporating, based on or using any LanzaTech Technology, as currently existing or as may be developed by or for LanzaTech during the Exclusivity Term, as well as related methods, process and procedures for the implementation thereof. LanzaTech shall not promote or market the LanzaTech Technology to, or solicit any potential customer for the implementation of, the LanzaTech Technology in Japan, without first obtaining the prior written consent of Mitsui. Upon obtaining such consent, LanzaTech shall coordinate all communications and discussions with any potential customer with Mitsui, and shall not promote or recommend any third Person provider of the Alliance Services or any services similar to the Alliance Services to any potential customer located in Japan without first obtaining Mitsui’s prior written consent. For the avoidance of doubt, if Mitsui determines that it does not wish to pursue a particular customer opportunity in Japan, LanzaTech shall not thereafter attempt to contact or communicate with such customer regarding the marketing, promotion or licensing of the LanzaTech Technology or any Alliance Services (or services similar to the Alliance Services) without first obtaining Mitsui’s prior written consent, which should not be unreasonably withheld. During the Exclusivity Term, Mitsui will use [***] to (i) Promote to prospective customers in Japan the LanzaTech Technology, including by analyzing the Japanese market in order to identify specific opportunities with prospective Customers of the LanzaTech Technology, assessing the timing and size of such opportunities, and gathering other information and data in support of the foregoing, and (ii) establish commercial facilities using the LanzaTech Technology in Japan. The Exclusivity Term, and Mitsui’s and its Affiliates’ rights as the exclusive provider of Alliance Services in connection with the implementation or use by any Customer of the LanzaTech Technology in Japan pursuant to this Section 4.1(b), shall automatically renew (unless Mitsui gives prior written notice of non-renewal) for additional, subsequent [***] periods during the Term, subject to Mitsui’s remaining in substantial compliance with its obligation to Promote the LanzaTech Technology and establish commercial facilities in Japan pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) and provided that no less than three (3) months prior to the expiration of the then-current Exclusivity Term, Mitsui and LanzaTech shall meet and discuss the results of Mitsui’s Promotional efforts in Japan and its analysis of the Japanese market, and cooperate in good faith to determine whether to amend any rights or obligations of the Parties with respect to the Promotion of the LanzaTech Technology in Japan. If Mitsui fails to fulfill the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence prior to the expiration of the then-current Exclusivity Term, and such failure is not due in whole or in part to any act or omission of LanzaTech, the Exclusivity Term, and Mitsui’s and its Affiliates’ rights as the exclusive provider of Alliance Services in connection with the implementation or use by any Customer of the LanzaTech Technology in Japan, shall terminate, provided that LanzaTech shall thereafter be obligated to identify Mitsui and promote Mitsui as LanzaTech’s and its Affiliates’ Preferred Provider of Alliance Services in Japan (as in the rest of the world) pursuant to Section 4.1(a) during the Term of this Agreement. At any time during the then current Exclusivity Term, in the event LanzaTech, acting in good faith, believes Mitsui is not using [***] to Promote the LanzaTech Technology and establish commercial plants in Japan, LanzaTech shall notify Mitsui, and the Parties shall discuss in good faith how to address Mitsui’s Promotion of the LanzaTech Technology in Japan prior to the expiry of the Exclusivity Term. Nothing in this Section 4.1(b) applies to LanzaTech CarbonSmart Technology to which Section 4.1(a)(ii) applies.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.1(b), the Parties agree that Mitsui status as LanzaTech’s Preferred Provider in Japan during the Exclusivity Term shall not apply solely with respect to: (i) [***]; (ii) [***]; (iii) [***]; (iv) [***]; and (v) [***].

(d)Without limitation to Section 4.1(b), upon Mitsui’s request, LanzaTech agrees to discuss with Mitsui the terms and conditions pursuant to which LanzaTech shall appoint Mitsui and/or one of its Affiliates as LanzaTech’s exclusive sales agent (even with respect to LanzaTech) in Japan with respect to all sales, marketing and promotion of the LanzaTech Technology, whether or not in connection with an Offering or potential Customer Engagement (in addition to being the Preferred Provider of all Alliance Services).

Should LanzaTech or the applicable Customer determine in good faith that the Alliance Services do not meet its requirements, (a) [***] and (b) [***]. If, following receipt of such notice and good faith negotiations regarding Mitsui’s offer to address any shortcomings, Mitsui or the applicable Customer determines that Mitsui will not be able to meet LanzaTech’s or such Customer’s requirements, Mitsui will notify LanzaTech identifying the particular Alliance Services that it will not provide. Following receipt of such notice, outside of Japan or in the case of a CarbonSmart Customer anywhere in the world, LanzaTech may procure such particularly identified Alliance Services from, or refer the applicable Customer to (or otherwise recommend), a third Person to provide such particularly identified Alliance Services, provided that LanzaTech continues to identify and promote Mitsui for the applicable project and/or to the applicable Customer as its Preferred Provider of all other Alliance Services. For clarity, any determination by Mitsui not to provide any particular Alliance Services pursuant to this Section 4.6 shall not limit LanzaTech’s obligations to notify Mitsui in accordance with this Section 4.6 with respect to any future requirement or request of LanzaTech or any Customer for Alliance Services (including Alliance Services of the type Mitsui previously determined not to provide).

Section 5.Other Agreements.

5.1.Customer Engagements. If any Customer makes any indication of interest to either Party concerning entering into formal negotiations, a term sheet or any similar writing regarding a commercial arrangement with LanzaTech and/or Mitsui (a) with respect to any Offering and/or (b) to otherwise potentially engage both LanzaTech and Mitsui to provide LanzaTech Technology and any Alliance Services (as applicable) in connection with any Customer project or venture (each of (a) and (b), a “Customer Engagement”), LanzaTech and Mitsui shall promptly cooperate in good faith and in a timely manner to further develop an Offering for such Customer. Such cooperation shall include jointly engaging such Customer to investigate the terms and conditions of a commercial arrangement mutually beneficial to each of the Parties and the applicable Customer, and coordinating in the negotiation and finalization of definitive agreements to govern the provision of LanzaTech Technology by LanzaTech and Alliance Services by Mitsui in connection with such Customer Engagement. During the conduct of any negotiations with a Customer, each Party shall (i) continue to promote and market the other Party as a provider of LanzaTech Technology or Alliance Services, as applicable, in connection with such Customer Engagement, (ii) not conduct any substantial negotiations relating to the LanzaTech Technology or Alliance Services (or, in the case of LanzaTech and involving a Customer located in Japan (other than a CarbonSmart Customer), any negotiations) with such Customer concerning the Customer

Engagement without the other Party present unless the other Party first consents to such negotiations and (iii) keep the other Party reasonably informed of all developments regarding the potential Customer Engagement and the terms thereof. Each Party shall [***].

5.2.Commercial Terms. Without limiting the Parties’ obligations pursuant to Section 5.1 and subject to Section 5.3, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, any (a) Offering presented to a Customer and (b) binding document or definitive agreement related to the applicable Customer Engagement (such agreement(s), the “Final Agreements”) arising out of or with respect to the Parties’ marketing and promotional efforts pursuant to this Agreement, shall contain commercial terms based on [***], provided that the foregoing shall not apply solely in the event that the applicable Customer unambiguously informs the Parties after good faith negotiations that it will not license or implement LanzaTech Technology unless the commercial terms contained in the applicable Final Agreement(s) differ from those set forth in this Section 5.2:

(a)Royalty Model. Mitsui shall [***] of the applicable Customer using LanzaTech Technology [***] on terms pursuant to which the [***] (such payments and fees, the “LanzaTech Fees”) payable by the applicable Customer shall be [***]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Mitsui’s or its Affiliates’ [***].

(b)[***] JV Model. LanzaTech, Mitsui and the Customer shall [***], pursuant to which: (i) [***]; (ii) [***]; (iii) [***]; (iv) [***]; and (v) [***].

5.3.EPC Services. Without limitation to the Parties’ obligations pursuant to this Agreement with respect to Alliance Services, upon Mitsui’s request, LanzaTech and Mitsui shall jointly promote and market Mitsui or its Affiliate, Mitsui & Co. Plant Systems Limited (“MPS”), in connection with any Offering or potential Customer Engagement as a provider of EPC Services for the construction or modification of a facility at which LanzaTech Technology will be implemented in Japan, [***].

5.4.Solo Engagement. Subject to LanzaTech’s compliance with its obligations pursuant to Section 4.3, (i) if any Customer, despite LanzaTech’s [***] to promote Mitsui as its Preferred Provider of Alliance Services to such Customer, elects to accept an Offering solely with respect to LanzaTech’s provision of LanzaTech Technology, or otherwise elects to engage only LanzaTech as a provider of LanzaTech Technology and not Mitsui as a provider of any Alliance Services in connection with any Customer Engagement, or (ii) Mitsui declines to provide all Alliance Services in connection with a Customer Engagement pursuant to Decline Notice, or all such Alliance Services are the subject of a Deemed Decline, in each case pursuant to Section 4.5, the Parties agree that LanzaTech shall be free to provide LanzaTech Technology to such Customer in connection with such Customer Engagement (such Customer Engagement, a “Solo Engagement”); provided, however, that if the applicable Customer is located in Japan (but is not a CarbonSmart Customer), LanzaTech shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, attempt to contract or communicate with such customer regarding the marketing, promotion or licensing of the LanzaTech Technology or any Alliance Services (or services similar to the Alliance Services), without first obtaining Mitsui’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

5.5.Third Person Service Providers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, LanzaTech shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, in connection with

any Solo Engagement or otherwise, market, promote or otherwise endorse to any Customer, as a provider, directly or indirectly, of any Investment Services, Off-take Services or EPC Services (in Japan), (a) any third Person, unless LanzaTech has first notified Mitsui of the identity of such third Person provider of such services, (b) any Restricted Third Party or Japanese Provider, unless LanzaTech has first obtained Mitsui’s prior written consent with respect to such Restricted Third Party or Japanese Provider and (c) in Japan, LanzaTech, its Affiliates, or any third Person (including any Restricted Third Party or Japanese Provider), without first obtaining Mitsui’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Following LanzaTech’s notice to Mitsui pursuant to subsection (a), receipt of written consent regarding a Restricted Third Party or Japanese Provider pursuant to subsection (b), or receipt of written consent regarding any provider of Alliance Services in Japan pursuant to subsection (c), and in any case without limitation to LanzaTech’s continuing obligation to continue to promote Mitsui as LanzaTech’s Preferred Provider of Alliance Services and prior to marketing, promoting or otherwise endorsing LanzaTech, its Affiliates, or any such third Person, Restricted Third Party or Japanese Provider to the applicable Customer, LanzaTech agrees to (i) consider in good faith any input from Mitsui regarding the marketing, promotion or endorsement of LanzaTech, its Affiliates, or such third Person, Restricted Third Party or Japanese Provider and (ii) provide to Mitsui reasonable information regarding LanzaTech, its Affiliates or any third Person, Restricted Third Party or Japanese Provider LanzaTech refers or otherwise recommends to such Customer. Without limiting the foregoing, LanzaTech shall notify Mitsui prior to entering into any agreement or other arrangement with any third Person, Restricted Third Party or Japanese Provider regarding the provision of any Investment Services, Off-take Services or EPC Services to the applicable Customer, and provide Mitsui with the name of the applicable service provider and indicate whether such agreement or other arrangement includes any exclusivity terms with respect to such services (and, if so, provide a description of such exclusivity terms).

Section 6.Intellectual Property.

6.1.Sole Ownership. As between the Parties, each Party shall remain the sole owner of all right title and interest in and to (a) all Intellectual Property that such Party provides to the other Party or to any Customer in connection with this Agreement (and all Intellectual Property Rights therein) and (b) all Intellectual Property developed, generated or acquired solely by LanzaTech or Mitsui, as applicable, prior to, on or after the Effective Date (and all Intellectual Property Rights therein). Except as may be expressly set forth herein, neither Party shall obtain or acquire, by virtue of this Agreement, any ownership interest in any Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Rights of the other Party.

6.2.Joint Ownership. Should any Intellectual Property be jointly developed by the Parties in connection with the performance of their obligations pursuant to this Agreement (“Joint IP”), including any Intellectual Property consisting of marketing or promotional materials or other copyrightable materials, all Intellectual Property Rights (other than Trademarks) in such Joint IP will be jointly owned by the Parties, with each Party having the unrestricted right to exercise and otherwise exploit such Intellectual Property Rights (other than Trademarks) in and to such Joint IP (and to license third Persons to do the same) in any manner without the consent of the other Party and without a duty to account to or share proceeds with the other Party. For clarity, each Party’s right and license to use the Trademarks of the other Party, whether in connection with any Joint IP created by the parties or otherwise, shall be only as set forth in Section 6.3.

6.3.Trademark License.

(a)Each Party’s respective Trademarks are and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of the respective Party. Subject to this Section 6.3, each of LanzaTech and Mitsui hereby grant the other Party, during the Term, a royalty-free, nonexclusive, nontransferable, non-sublicensable, worldwide right and license to use, display, print, publish, advertise or otherwise disseminate the other Party’s Trademarks solely in connection with the cooperative promotional, marketing and sales activities set forth in this Agreement, provided that, prior to either Party’s first use of the other Party’s Trademarks in connection with any such activities, such Party shall first obtain the written consent of the Party owning such Trademarks for the manner of such use, which such approval may be withheld in the owning Party’s discretion.

(b)Notwithstanding Section 6.3(a), either Party may, upon written notice to the other Party, identify in writing those of its Trademarks which may be used by the other Party in the connection with its Promotional, marketing and sales activities conducted pursuant to this Agreement (such Trademarks, the “Permitted Marks”). Upon receipt of such notice, the receiving Party shall thereafter limit its use of any Trademarks of the other Party to such Permitted Marks during the Term and immediately cease any and all use of any other Trademarks other than the Permitted Marks owned by the other Party.

(c)Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the use by such Party of the other Party’s Trademarks shall not confer upon such Party any right or interest whatsoever in the other Party’s Trademarks. Any and all goodwill arising from either Party’s use of the other Party’s Trademarks shall inure solely to the benefit of such other Party, and during the Term and following any termination of this Agreement, neither Party shall assert any claim to the other Party’s Trademarks or associated goodwill. Each Party shall use the other Party’s Trademarks in conformance with any trademark guidelines provided to it by such other Party, which may reasonably be revised by such other Party from time to time. Upon request of either Party, the other Party shall provide the requesting Party with representative samples of each such use of the requesting Party’s Trademarks. If the requesting Party determines, in its sole discretion, that the other Party is using the requesting Party’s Trademarks improperly, the requesting Party shall notify such other Party in writing of such improper use, and such other Party shall promptly remedy or cease (as instructed by the other Party) such improper use, but in no event later than [***] following receipt of such notice.

Section 7.Indemnification.

Each Party (as “Indemnitor”) will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other Party (“Indemnitee”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and disbursements, including the costs, expenses and disbursements, as and when incurred, of investigating, preparing or defending any action, suit, proceeding or investigation asserted by a third party (collectively, “Losses”), caused by, relating to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with: (a) any actual or alleged infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property Rights of any third Person by any Intellectual Property or services provided by the Indemnitor to the Indemnitee or any Customer in connection with this Agreement or pursuant to any definitive agreement(s) entered into with any Customer (b) the Indemnitor’s actual or alleged

breach of any of representation or warranty made by the Indemnitor in this Agreement or in any definitive agreement(s) entered into with any Customer (c) the Indemnitor’s actual or alleged violation of any applicable laws in connection with the performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement or any definitive agreement(s) entered into with any Customer, and (d) any actual or alleged personal injury, bodily harm or death arising out of or related to Indemnitor’s performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement or any definitive agreement(s) entered into with any Customer, including in connection with any product liability or similar claim arising out of or related to any Customer’s use or exploitation of the LanzaTech Technology or Alliance Services, as applicable, provided by the Indemnitor. If Indemnitee makes an indemnification request to Indemnitor, Indemnitee will permit the Indemnitor to control the defense, disposition or settlement of the matter at the Indemnitor’s expense, provided that Indemnitor will not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, enter into any settlement or agree to any disposition that imposes an obligation on the Indemnitee that is not wholly discharged or dischargeable by the Indemnitor. Indemnitee will notify the Indemnitor promptly of any Losses for which the Indemnitor is responsible and will cooperate with the Indemnitor as commercially reasonable to facilitate defense of any such claim giving rise to such Losses; provided that Indemnitee’s failure to notify Indemnitor will not limit Indemnitor’s obligations under this Section 8 except to the extent that Indemnitor is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Indemnitee will at all times have the option to participate in any matter or litigation through counsel of its own selection and at its own expense.

Section 8.Representations and Warranties.
