Termination; Survival

Section 7.01.         Termination. This Agreement will terminate automatically upon the date which the Company has sold to the Investor pursuant to this Agreement the Placement Shares. This Agreement may be terminated earlier:

(a)            by the mutual written consent of the Company and the Investor;

(b)            by either the Company or the Investor if the Underwriting Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms following its execution (or, if the Underwriting Agreement has not been executed, if the Company provides written notice to the Investor that it does not intend to proceed with the Public Offering prior to October 31, 2024);

(c)            by either the Company or the Investor, if any Restraint enjoining or otherwise prohibiting consummation of this Agreement shall be in effect and shall have become final and nonappealable; provided that the party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this ‎Section 7.01(c) shall have used the required efforts to cause the conditions to Closing to be satisfied in accordance with ‎Section 5.01;

(d)            by the Investor, if the Company shall have breached any of its representations or warranties or failed to perform any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in ‎Section 6.03(a) or ‎Section 6.03(b) and (ii) shall not have been cured within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt by the Company of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from the Investor stating the Investor’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this ‎Section 7.01(d) and the basis for such termination; provided that the Investor shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this ‎Section 7.01(d) if the Investor is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder, which breach would give rise to the failure of any condition set forth in ‎Section 6.02(a) or ‎Section 6.02(b) to be satisfied; or

(e)            by the Company, if the Investor shall have breached any of its representations or warranties or failed to perform any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in ‎Section 6.02(a) or ‎Section 6.02(b) and (ii) shall not have been cured within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt by the Investor of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from the Company stating the Company’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this ‎Section 7.01(e) and the basis for such termination; provided that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this ‎Section 7.01(e) if the Company is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder, which breach would give rise to the failure of any condition set forth in ‎Section 6.03(a) or ‎Section 6.03(b) to be satisfied.

Section 7.02.         Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in ‎Section 7.01, written notice thereof shall be given to the other party, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void (other than ‎Article 1, ‎Section 5.03, Section 5.06, this ‎Section 7.02 and ‎Article 8, all of which shall survive termination of this Agreement), and there shall be no liability on the part of the Investor or the Company or their respective directors, officers and Affiliates, except that no such termination shall relieve any party from liability for damages to another party resulting from a willful and material breach of this Agreement.

Section 7.03.         Survival. Subject to Section 7.02, all of the covenants or other agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive until fully performed or fulfilled, unless and to the extent that non-compliance with such covenants or agreements is waived in writing by the party entitled to such performance. The representations and warranties made as of each Closing Date shall survive until such Closing Date and shall then expire. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, the maximum liability of the Company under or relating to this Agreement to the extent relating to or arising out of any breach of the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement shall, with respect to any Placement, in no event exceed the aggregate purchase price paid by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement.

Article 8
Miscellaneous

Section 8.01.         Amendments; Waivers. Subject to compliance with applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended or supplemented in any and all respects by written agreement of the parties hereto.

Section 8.02.         Extension of Time, Waiver, Etc. The Company and the Investor may, subject to applicable Law, (a) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, (b) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or acts of the other party or (c) waive compliance by the other party with any of the agreements contained herein applicable to such party or, except as otherwise provided herein, waive any of such party’s conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Company or the Investor in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

Section 8.03.         Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise, by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other party hereto.

Section 8.04.         Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed by the parties in one or more counterparts which together shall constitute one and the same agreement among the parties. Electronic signatures complying with the New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act (N.Y. State Tech. §§ 301-309), as amended from time to time, or other applicable law will be deemed original signatures for purposes of this Agreement. Transmission by telecopy, electronic mail or other transmission method of an executed counterpart of this Agreement will constitute due and sufficient delivery of such counterpart.

Section 8.05.         Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties and their Affiliates, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. No provision of this Agreement shall confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their permitted assigns any rights or remedies hereunder.

Section 8.06.         Governing Law; Jurisdiction. (a) This Agreement and all matters, claims or legal actions or proceedings (whether at law, in equity, in Contract, in tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, execution or performance of this Agreement, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York.

(b)            All legal actions or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined in the courts of the State of New York located in the City and County of New York, Borough of Manhattan, or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts in any such legal action or proceeding and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum or lack of jurisdiction to the maintenance of any such legal action or proceeding. Each party hereto agrees that service of process upon such party in any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if notice is given by overnight courier at the address set forth in ‎Section 8.09. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such legal action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, a final trial court judgment.

Section 8.07.         Specific Enforcement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary relief, even if available, might not be an adequate remedy, might occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, including if the parties hereto fail to take any action required of them hereunder to cause the Closing to occur, and that time is of the essence. Subject to the determination of a court of competent jurisdiction, the parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the right of the Company to cause any Placement to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement) in the courts described in ‎Section 8.06, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of this Agreement and without that right, neither the Company nor the Investor would have entered into this Agreement. The parties hereto agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, and agree not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this ‎Section 8.07 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

Section 8.08.         WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (a) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (b) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (c) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (d) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS ‎SECTION 8.08.

ANNEX I

FORM OF AMENDMENT NO. 5 TO INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT

AMENDMENT NO. 5 TO INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT

This Amendment No. 5 (this “Amendment”), effective as of the date of the Subscription Agreement (as defined below), is made to that certain Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of February 22, 2021, as amended from time to time, (the “Agreement”), by and among (i) Xxxxxxxxx Capital Corp IV, a Delaware corporation (“PubCo”); (ii) Xxxx Third Investment Company, a single shareholder limited liability company organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (“Xxxx”); (iii) each of the Persons identified on the signature pages to the Agreement or on the signature pages to a joinder to the Agreement; and (iv) Xxxxxxxxx Sponsor IV LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Agreement.

WHEREAS, in connection with the Business Combination, PubCo changed its name to “Lucid Group, Inc.”

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, PubCo entered into that certain Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Xxxx, and it is a condition to the issuance and sale of the shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), by PubCo to Xxxx pursuant to the Subscription Agreement (such shares, together with the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, repurchase or redemption thereof, the “Fifth Placement Shares”) that the Agreement be amended as set forth in this Amendment;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 5.4(b) of the Agreement, the Agreement may be amended in whole or in part at any time with the express written consent of PubCo and the Holders holding in the aggregate more than fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities Beneficially Owned by the Holders at such time;

WHEREAS, Xxxx holds more than fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities Beneficially Owned by the Holders as of the date hereof; and

WHEREAS, Xxxx and PubCo amend the Agreement as set forth in this Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, all of the parties hereto mutually agree, with effect as of the date hereof, to the following:

The definition of “Registrable Securities” in Section 1.1 of the Agreement is amended to read:

“Registrable Securities” means (a) any shares of Common Stock, (b) any Warrants or any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise thereof, (c) any Equity Securities of PubCo that may be issued or distributed or be issuable with respect to the securities referred to in clauses (a) or (b) by way of conversion, dividend, stock split or other distribution, merger, consolidation, exchange, recapitalization or reclassification or similar transaction, in each case Beneficially Owned by a Holder as of immediately following the Closing, and (d) with respect to Xxxx only, the Placement Shares, the Second Placement Shares, the Third Placement Shares, the Fourth Placement Shares and the Fifth Placement Shares; provided, however, that any such Registrable Securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities to the extent (A) a Registration Statement with respect to the sale of such Registrable Securities has become effective under the Securities Act and such Registrable Securities have been sold, transferred, disposed of or exchanged in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement, (B) such Registrable Securities shall have ceased to be outstanding, (C) such Registrable Securities have been sold to, or through, a broker, dealer or Underwriter in a public distribution or other public securities transaction or (D)(i) the Holder thereof, together with its, his or her Permitted Transferees, Beneficially Owns less than one percent (1%) of the shares of Common Stock that are outstanding at such time and (ii) such shares of Common Stock are eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and without current public information pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act as set forth in a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed, delivered and acceptable to PubCo’s transfer agent and the affected Holder (which opinion may assume that such Holder (and any predecessor holder of such shares of Common Stock) is not, and has not been at any time during the 90 days immediately before the date of such opinion, an Affiliate of PubCo except with respect to any control determined to be established under this Investor Rights Agreement), as reasonably determined by PubCo, upon the advice of counsel to PubCo. It is understood and agreed that, for purposes of this Investor Rights Agreement, where reference is made to Registrable Securities being listed with any securities exchange or automated quotation system, such reference shall not include the Warrants, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (although it shall include the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion thereof).

A new section 3.19 is added at the end of Article III, which reads:

Section 3.19. Shelf Registration of Fifth Placement Shares.

(a)            Section 3.1 Not Applicable. Section 3.1(a) of the Investor Rights Agreement shall not apply to the Fifth Placement Shares. Prior to the Fifth Shelf Registration Deadline (as defined below), Sections 3.1(b) through 3.1(d) and 3.2 through 3.17 of the Investor Rights Agreement shall not apply to the Fifth Placement Shares.

(b)            Filing. PubCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file and cause to become effective under the Securities Act no later than the end of the business day immediately after the date of filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (and in no event later than February 28, 2025 even if the Annual Report has not yet been filed as of such date) (the “Fifth Shelf Registration Deadline”) a Shelf Registration Statement (it being agreed that the Shelf Registration shall be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement if PubCo is a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer at the time of filing), or, if permitted, an amendment or a prospectus supplement to a Shelf Registration Statement then already filed, covering the resale on a delayed or continuous basis of all Fourth Placement Shares then issued to and Beneficially Owned by Xxxx but not yet covered by a Shelf Registration Statement. PubCo shall maintain such Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the terms of this Investor Rights Agreement, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as of which all Registrable Securities registered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold or cease to be Registrable Securities. PubCo shall also use its commercially reasonable efforts to file any replacement or additional Shelf Registration Statement and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such replacement or additional Shelf Registration Statement to become effective prior to the expiration of the initial Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 3.19.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents the Company from including any or all of the Registrable Securities on the Shelf Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Registrable Securities by Xxxx, the Shelf Registration Statement shall register the resale of a number of shares of the Registrable Securities which is equal to the maximum number of shares as is permitted by the SEC, and, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.19(b), the Company shall continue to its use commercially reasonable efforts to register all remaining Registrable Securities as set forth in this Section 3.19(b). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the SEC limits the Company’s ability to file, or prohibits or delays the filing of, a Shelf Registration Statement or a Subsequent Shelf Registration with respect to any or all the Registrable Securities, the Company’s compliance with such limitation, prohibition or delay solely to the extent of such limitation, prohibition or delay shall not be a breach or default by the Company under this Agreement and shall not be deemed a failure by the Company to use “commercially reasonable efforts” or “reasonable efforts” as set forth above or elsewhere in this Agreement.

Sections 5.1, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.13 and 5.14 of the Agreement are hereby incorporated into this Amendment, mutatis mutandis. Except as modified and amended herein, all other terms and provisions of the Agreement will not be amended and will remain in full force and effect.
