The Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares collectively are referred to herein as the “Securities”. This Agreement, the Warrants and any other documents or agreements executed and delivered to the Investors in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder are herein referred to as the “Transaction Documents”.

At the Closing, upon the terms set forth herein, together with its purchase of Shares, each Investor shall also receive a Warrant, for no additional consideration, exercisable for such number of Warrant Shares equal to one half (0.5) of a Class A Ordinary Share for each Share purchased by such Investor hereunder at a price per Warrant Share equal to 100% of the Per Share Purchase Price.
2. Closing.
(a) The closing of the sale of the Shares and Warrants contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall occur on November 22, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), which is two (2) trading days after the pricing of the Registered Transaction on November 18, 2022 (such date, the “Pricing Date”), or on such later date on which the conditions set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement have been satisfied or, to the extent permissible, waived by the party or parties entitled to the benefit of such conditions (other than those conditions set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permissible, waiver by the party or parties entitled to the benefit of such conditions, of such conditions at the Closing); provided, however, that in the case of each [•], solely to the extent the existing authorizations granted by the general meeting of Lilium shareholders to Xxxxxx’s board of directors to issue shares in Lilium’s capital and to exclude or restrict pre-emptive rights in relation to such issuances is insufficient to issue the Securities to be purchased by Investors hereunder and the securities to be purchased by the Other Investors pursuant to the Other Securities Purchase Agreements (and after giving effect to the Registered Transaction), Lilium may provide notice to such Investor, no later than the Pricing Date, that, subject to the following sentence, the closing of the issuance and sale of Securities to such Investor as contemplated hereby, or a portion thereof, will occur on the fifth (5th) business day following the date on which the general meeting of Lilium shareholders has granted an authorization to Xxxxxx’s board of directors sufficient to issue such Securities (and to exclude or restrict pre-emptive rights in relation to such issuances) (provided that Xxxxxx shall send written notice to such Investor on the day such authorization by the general meeting of Xxxxxx’s shareholders to Xxxxxx’s board of directors to issue the Securities (and exclude the pre-emptive rights in relation to the issuance)), or such earlier date as may be agreed by the relevant Investor and Lilium, but in no event later than January 13, 2023 (any such delayed closing, the “Delayed Closing,” and the date on which any such delayed closing occurs, the “Delayed Closing Date”).

In addition, each of such Investors may provide written notice, no later than the Pricing Date, that the closing of the sale of such Investor’s Securities, or a portion thereof, contemplated hereby will occur on a date that is not later than five (5) trading days after the initial Closing Date, provided that this right is only available in connection with the closing and issuance and sale of any Securities that are not subject to any Delayed Closing (in such event, the term Closing as it applies to such Investor will be the date on which such Investor funds in accordance with such notice). At the Closing or Delayed Closing, as applicable, each Investor shall (or shall cause one of its Affiliates to) deliver to Lilium via wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds equal to the portion of the total purchase price set forth opposite such Investor’s name on Exhibit A hereto that is applicable to the Securities to be purchased at such Closing or Delayed Closing, as applicable (and as adjusted pursuant to the proviso in Section 1), in accordance with wire instructions provided by Lilium to the Investors at least one (1) business day prior to the Closing Date, and Lilium shall deliver to each Investor its respective Securities, determined in accordance with Section 1, free and clear of all restrictive and other legends (except as expressly provided in this Agreement), deliverable at the Closing on the Closing Date (or at the Delayed Closing on the Delayed Closing Date, as applicable), in accordance with Section 2(c) of this Agreement.

Neither Lilium nor any Subsidiary is in violation nor default of any of the provisions of its respective charter or by-laws or similar organizational documents (collectively, “Organizational Documents”). Each of Lilium and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not have or reasonably be expected to result in (i) a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of Lilium and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or on the ability of Lilium to enter into and perform its obligations hereunder, under the Other Securities Purchase Agreements and under the Capital Raise (a “Material Adverse Effect”) or (ii) a material adverse effect on the performance of this Agreement or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and no action, lawsuit, complaint, claim, petition, suit, audit, examination, assessment, arbitration, mediation or inquiry, or any proceeding or investigation, by or before any governmental authority has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification.

Such Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Securities will not immediately be eligible for offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, and that the provisions of Rule 144(i) will apply to the Securities. Such Investor acknowledges and agrees that it has been advised to consult legal, tax and accounting prior to making any offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition of any of the Securities.
(d) Such Investor acknowledges and agrees that such Investor is purchasing the Securities from Lilium. Such Investor further acknowledges that there have been no representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made to such Investor by or on behalf of Lilium, any of its respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing or any other person or entity, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Lilium expressly set forth in this Agreement.

Such Investor acknowledges that the Securities (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws. Such Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, Lilium, the Placement Agents, any of their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), other than the representations and warranties of Lilium contained in Section 4, Section 8(a) and Section 11 of this Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in Lilium.
(g) Such Investor acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Securities, including those set forth in Xxxxxx’s filings with the SEC.

(h) Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), such Investor has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Securities and determined that the Securities are a suitable investment for such Investor and that such Investor is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of such Investor’s investment in Lilium. Such Investor acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

Without limitation of the foregoing, such Investor hereby further acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Placement Agents are acting solely as placement agents in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and are not acting as an underwriter, initial Investor, dealer or in any other such capacity and are not and shall not be construed as a fiduciary for such Investor, Lilium or any other person or entity in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the Placement Agents have not made and will not make any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, of any kind or character and have not provided any advice or recommendation in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) the Placement Agents will have no responsibility with respect to (a) any representations, warranties or agreements made by any person or entity under or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or any of the documents furnished pursuant thereto or in connection therewith, or the execution, legality, validity or enforceability (with respect to any person) of any thereof, or (b) the financial condition, business, or any other matter concerning Lilium and the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iv) no Placement Agent shall have any liability or obligation (including without limitation, for or with respect to any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements incurred by such Investor), whether in contract, tort or otherwise, to such Investor or to any person claiming through such Investor, in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(k) Such Investor has been duly formed or incorporated and is validly existing and is in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation or incorporation (except where the failure to be in good standing could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of such Investor), and has the requisite power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement.
(l) To the extent required by applicable securities legislation, regulatory policy or order, or if required by any securities commission, stock exchange or other regulatory authority with jurisdiction over Lilium, at the reasonable request of and at the sole expense of Lilium, such Investor will use commercially reasonable efforts to execute, deliver and file and otherwise assist Xxxxxx in filing reports, questionnaires, undertakings and other documents with respect to the issue of the Securities.
(m) The execution, delivery and performance by such Investor of this Agreement are within the powers of such Investor, have been duly authorized and will not constitute or result in a breach or default under or conflict with any order, ruling or regulation of any court or other tribunal or of any governmental commission or agency, or any agreement or other undertaking, to which such Investor is a party or by which such Investor is bound, except, in each case, as would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of such Investor to enter into and timely perform its obligations under this Agreement, and will not violate any provisions of such Investor’s organizational documents, including, without limitation, its incorporation or formation papers, bylaws, indenture of trust or partnership or operating agreement, as may be applicable.

6. Registration Rights.
(a) Lilium agrees that, within five (5) business days following each applicable Closing Date (such deadline, the “Filing Deadline”), Lilium will submit to or file with the SEC a registration statement for a shelf registration on Form F-3, or in the event that Form F-3 is not available, Lilium shall file with the SEC a shelf registration on such other form as is available to them (all such registration statements, collectively, the “Registration Statements” and each, a “Registration Statement”), covering the resale of the Securities acquired by each Investor pursuant to this Agreement and the Warrants on such Closing Date (the “Registrable Securities”) and Lilium shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have each Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 30th calendar day (or 60th calendar day if the SEC notifies Lilium that it will “review” such Registration Statement) following the applicable Closing and (ii) the fifth (5th) business day after the date Lilium is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, however, that if such Effectiveness Deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or other day that the SEC is closed for business, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to the next business day on which the SEC is open for business; and provided further, that Lilium’s obligations to include the Registrable Securities of any Investor in a Registration Statement are contingent upon such Investor furnishing in writing to Lilium such customary information regarding such Investor or its permitted assigns, the securities of Lilium held by such Investor and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall be customary, required by applicable law to be included in a Registration Statement and as reasonably requested by Lilium to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and each Investor shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Lilium may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that Lilium shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of a Registration Statement, if applicable, as permitted by Section 6(c) of this Agreement; provided that no Investor shall in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Registrable Securities. In no event shall any Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in any Registration Statement unless specifically requested by the SEC in which case such Investor will have an opportunity to withdraw from such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents Lilium from including any or all of the Securities proposed to be registered under a Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Registrable Securities or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register the resale of a number of Securities which is equal to the maximum number of Securities as is permitted by the SEC. In such event, the number of Securities to be registered for each selling shareholder named in a Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders, and Lilium will use its best efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as allowed by the SEC, one or more registration statements to register the resale of those Registrable Securities that were not registered on such initial Registration Statement, as so amended. For as long as any Investor holds Securities, Lilium will use its best efforts to file all reports for so long as the condition in Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) is required to be satisfied, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the Investors to resell the Securities pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act (in each case, when Rule 144 of the Securities Act becomes available to such Investor), and will prepare and file with the SEC such amendment and supplements to each Registration Statement and each prospectus used in connection therewith a may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered thereby. Any failure by Lilium to file a Registration Statement by the applicable Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Deadline shall not otherwise relieve Lilium of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statements as set forth above in this Section 6. For purposes of this Agreement, “business day” shall mean a day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York, London, England, U.K., Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, or China are authorized or required by law to close.
| -15- |
(b) In the case of the registration effected by Lilium pursuant to this Agreement, Lilium shall, upon reasonable request, inform the Investors as to the status of such registration. At its expense Lilium shall:
(i) except for such times as Xxxxxx is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 6(c) of this Agreement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any required qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws, continuously effective with respect to the Investors, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (a) Investor ceases to hold any Registrable Securities and (b) the date all Registrable Securities held by each of the Investors may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for Lilium to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable). Each Investor agrees to disclose, on a confidential basis, its ownership of Lilium securities to Lilium upon request to assist Xxxxxx in making the determination described above. The period of time during which Xxxxxx is required hereunder to keep a Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “Registration Period”;
(ii) during the Registration Period, advise the Investors, as expeditiously as possible (and within no later than three (3) business days):
(1) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC;
(2) after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;
(3) of the receipt by Xxxxxx of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and
(4) subject to the provisions in this Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Lilium shall not, when so advising the Investors of such events, provide the Investors with any material, nonpublic information regarding Lilium other than to the extent that providing notice to the Investors of the occurrence of the events listed in (1) through (4) above may constitute material, nonpublic information regarding Lilium;
(iii) during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;
(iv) during the Registration Period, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 6(b)(ii)(4) above, except for such times as Lilium is permitted by Section 6(c) of this Agreement to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, Lilium shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to Investors of the Registrable Securities included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
| -16- |
(v) during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Registrable Securities have been listed;
(vi) during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow each Investor to review, prior to the filing thereof, disclosure regarding such Investor in any Registration Statement and shall afford each Investor a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such disclosure, which comments Lilium shall in good faith consider and use its reasonable best efforts to incorporate; and
(vii) during the Registration Period, otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by any Investor, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Xxxxxx shall be entitled to delay the filing or effectiveness of, or suspend the use of, a Registration Statement if (i) it reasonably determines that in order for such Registration Statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that at that time could not otherwise be included in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act, or (ii) the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by Lilium or its Subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event Xxxxxx’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of outside legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by Xxxxxx in such Registration Statement of material information that Lilium has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in such Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of Lilium’s board of directors, upon the advice of outside legal counsel, to cause such Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements, (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that Lilium may not delay or suspend any Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than forty-five (45) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days in each case during any twelve-month period. Lilium shall not, when advising each Investor of such Suspension Event, provide such Investor with any material, non-public information regarding Lilium other than to the extent that providing notice to such Investor of the occurrence of the Suspension Event might constitute material, non-public information regarding Lilium. Upon receipt of any written notice from Lilium of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that such Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event such Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in light of the circumstances under which they were made, in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, each Investor agrees as to itself that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities under such Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144 or other applicable exemption from registration) until it receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which Xxxxxx agrees to promptly prepare and provide) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by Lilium that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by Xxxxxx unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by Xxxxxx, each Investor will deliver to Lilium or, in such Investor’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities in such Investor’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities shall not apply (a) to the extent such Investor is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (1) to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (2) in accordance with a bona fide preexisting document retention policy or (b) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. Any Investor may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to Lilium requesting that such Investor not receive notices from Lilium otherwise required by this Section 6(c); provided, however, that such Investor may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from any Investor (unless subsequently revoked), (i) Lilium shall not deliver any such notices to such Investor and such Investor shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to such Investor’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, such Investor will notify Lilium in writing at least two (2) business days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 6(c)) and the related suspension period remains in effect, Lilium will so notify such Investor, within one (1) business day of such Investor’s notification to Lilium, by delivering to such Investor a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide such Investor with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event promptly following its availability.
| -17- |
(d) Indemnification.
(i) Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, Xxxxxx agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Investor (to the extent a seller under any Registration Statement), its directors, officers, partners, managers, members, stockholders, advisers, agents, representatives, affiliates and each person who controls each such Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and the directors, officers, partners, managers, members, stockholders, advisers, agents, representatives, affiliates of each such controlling person, to the extent permitted by law, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out of pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees of one law firm (and one firm of local counsel)) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement (“Prospectus”) or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as the same are directly caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to Lilium by or on behalf of such Investor expressly for use therein.
(ii) In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, such Investor shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to Lilium in writing such information and affidavits as Lilium reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (to the extent required by applicable securities laws to be disclosed in such Registration Statement) and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify Lilium, its directors and officers and each person or entity who controls Lilium (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and their directors and officers against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out of pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented outside attorneys’ fees of one law firm (and one firm of local counsel)) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by on behalf of such Investor expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the liability of such Investor shall be several and not joint with any other Investor or other selling stockholder named in such Registration Statement and shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
| -18- |
(iii) Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (a) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (b) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
(iv) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.
(v) If the indemnification provided under this Section 6(d) from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that the liability of such Investor shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 6(d)(i), (ii) and (iii) above, any reasonable, documented, and out of pocket legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d)(v) from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
| -19- |
(e) Subject to receipt from such Investor by Xxxxxx and its transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to Lilium and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith, and, if required by the Transfer Agent, an opinion of Xxxxxx’s counsel (which opinion shall be at Xxxxxx’s expense), in a form reasonably acceptable to the Transfer Agent, to the effect that the removal of such restrictive legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act, such Investor may request that Lilium remove any legend from the certificate(s) representing or the book-entry position evidencing the Securities within two (2) business days of such request and receipt of such representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to Lilium and the Transfer Agent, following the earliest of such time as the Securities (i) are subject to and eligible to be sold or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or (ii) have been or are about to be sold pursuant to Rule 144. If restrictive legends are no longer required for the Securities pursuant to the foregoing, Lilium shall, in accordance with the provisions of this section and reasonably promptly following any request therefor from such Investor accompanied by such customary and reasonably acceptable representations and other documentation referred to above establishing that restrictive legends are no longer required, deliver to the Transfer Agent irrevocable instructions that the Transfer Agent shall make a new, unlegended entry for the Securities. Xxxxxx shall be responsible for the fees of the Transfer Agent associated with such issuance.
7. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by any Investor, as to such Investor’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations between Lilium and the other Investors, and be void and of no further force and effect with respect to such Investor, by written notice to Xxxxxx, if the Closing has not been consummated, through no fault of such Investor, within twenty-five (25) calendar days from the date hereof, or, in the case of any Closing that is delayed at Lilium’s option pursuant to Section 2(a), by January 12, 2023; provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful breach. Upon the termination of this Agreement with respect to any Investor in accordance with this Section 7, any monies paid by such Investor to Lilium in connection herewith shall be promptly (and in any event within one (1) business day after such termination) returned to such Investor.
| -20- |
8. Other Agreements of the Parties.
(a) As of the date hereof, Lilium has reserved, and shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of Class A Ordinary Shares for the purpose of enabling Lilium to issue the Shares as well as the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant in accordance with its terms (such number, the “Reserved Securities”), provided, however, that the Reserved Securities need only include an amount necessary for the issuance of Securities that are not subject to any Delayed Closing as contemplated by Section 2(a) of this Agreement. In the case of any Securities subject to a Delayed Closing, the Reserved Securities shall be increased as soon as practicable after the effectiveness of the approval at Lilium’s general meeting of shareholders referred to in Section 3(h) to authorize Xxxxxx’s board of directors to (i) issue a sufficient number of Class A Ordinary Shares for the purpose of enabling Lilium to issue the Securities subject to such Delayed Closing (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants that are comprised in such Securities) and (ii) exclude or restrict pre-emptive rights in relation to such issuances, and in any event the Reserved Securities shall be increased as of a date that is no later than one (1) business day prior to such Delayed Closing.
(b) Prior to the Closing Date, Lilium shall prepare and file with Nasdaq an additional shares listing application covering all of the Shares and Warrant Shares. On the Closing Date, the Shares shall be listed on Nasdaq; and Lilium shall use its best effort to cause the Warrant Shares, when issued, to be listed on Nasdaq or such other securities exchange on which the Shares are then listed for trading.
(c) If applicable, Lilium shall file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and, to the extent the Form D is not publicly available on the SEC’s XXXXX reporting system, will provide a copy thereof to each Investor promptly after such filing. Lilium, on or before the Closing Date, shall take such action as Lilium shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify the Securities for sale to the Investors at the Closing, pursuant to this Agreement and the Warrants under applicable securities or blue sky laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and, if requested by an Investor, shall provide evidence of any material action so taken to such Investor on or prior to the Closing Date. Lilium shall make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Securities required under applicable securities or blue sky laws of the states of the United States following the Closing Date.
(d) Except as expressly set forth herein to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents.
(e) At the Closing, the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional actions as the parties reasonably may deem to be practical and necessary to consummate the purchase and sale of the Securities as contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
(f) If any Class A Ordinary Shares or warrant to acquire Class A Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Other Securities Purchase Agreements or the Registered Transaction contain any term or condition (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any representation or warranty other than those representations and warranties related to the registration of the securities offered in the Registered Transaction) that is more favorable to the holder of such security or a term in favor of the holder of such security that was not similarly provided to the Investors in the Transaction Documents, other than (i) relating to the registration of the securities offered in the Registered Transaction at issuance, (ii) the provision of a thirty (30) day “lock-up” period for Lilium, its officers and its directors in the Registered Transaction, (iii) terms relating to the provision of the Shareholder Support Letter Agreement referenced in Section 4(aa) hereto, (iv) different or additional representations and warranties that are relevant to the federal and/or local securities laws of the jurisdictions applicable to an investor party to any Other Securities Purchase Agreement or in the Registered Transaction, (v) any provisions related to a Delayed Closing pursuant to Section 2(a) and (vi) relating to the consideration to be received by Lilium that is the extinguishment or cancellation of liabilities, whether directly or indirectly, and terms relating to permitting such consideration in lieu of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds, then Lilium shall notify each Investor of such additional or more favorable term and such term shall (whether or not Lilium provides such notice) automatically become a part of the Transaction Documents for the benefit of Investor in addition to the terms already set forth in the Transaction Documents. Additionally, if Lilium fails to notify any Investor of any such additional or more favorable term, but such Investor becomes aware that Lilium has granted such a term to any third party in the Other Securities Purchase Agreements or the Registered Transaction, such term shall automatically become a part of the Transaction Documents in addition to the terms already set forth in the Transaction Documents, retroactive to the date on which such term was granted to the applicable third party.

9. Miscellaneous.
(a) Neither this Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to each Investor hereunder (other than the Securities acquired hereunder, if any) may be transferred or assigned provided that each Investor may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more of its affiliates or to another investment fund or account managed or advised by the investment manager who acts on behalf of such Investor or an affiliate thereof; provided that no such assignment shall relieve such Investor of its obligations hereunder.
(b) Lilium may request from each Investor such additional information as Lilium may deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of such Investor to acquire the Securities and in connection with the inclusion of the Securities in any Registration Statement, and such Investor shall provide such information as may be required to facilitate such evaluation, to the extent permissible under applicable law, readily available and consistent with its internal policies and procedures; provided that Lilium agrees to keep any such information confidential, other than as (i) necessary to include in any Registration Statement, or (ii) may be required by applicable law, rule, regulation or in connection with any legal proceeding or regulatory request (if which case Lilium shall provide notice to the applicable Investor and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of any such information). Each Investor acknowledges that, to the extent required by applicable law or otherwise agreed in writing with the Investors party hereto, Lilium may file a form of this Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to an Exchange Act report or a registration statement of Lilium.
(c) Each Investor acknowledges that Lilium will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of such Investor contained in Section 5 of this Agreement. Prior to the Closing, each Investor agrees to promptly notify Xxxxxx if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of such Investor set forth herein (i) are no longer accurate and (ii) are not expected to be accurate as of immediately prior to the Closing. Each Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agents will rely on the representations and warranties of such Investor contained in Section 5 of this Agreement.
(d) Lilium, the Placement Agents and each Investor are each irrevocably authorized to produce this Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party to the extent required in connection with any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.
(e) All of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing. All of the covenants and agreements made by each party hereto in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the applicable statute of limitations, or in accordance with their respective terms.
(f) This Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 7 above) except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto. No failure or delay of either party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties and third party beneficiaries hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.
| -22- |
(g) The Transaction Documents (including the exhibits and schedules thereto) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter thereof except, with respect to each Investor, any non-disclosure or confidentiality or similar agreement between Lilium and such Investor. Except as set forth in Section 6(d), Section 9(c) and Section 9(d) hereof with respect to the persons referenced therein, the Transaction Documents shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successor and assigns.
(h) Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

(j) This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.
(k) The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
(l) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 9(l) is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, the parties hereto would not have entered into this Agreement.
(m) THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SOLELY IN RESPECT OF THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS AND IN RESPECT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, AND HEREBY WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT, AS A DEFENSE IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING FOR INTERPRETATION OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR ANY SUCH DOCUMENT THAT IS NOT SUBJECT THERETO OR THAT SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING MAY NOT BE BROUGHT OR IS NOT MAINTAINABLE IN SAID COURTS OR THAT VENUE THEREOF MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE OR THAT THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR ANY SUCH DOCUMENT MAY NOT BE ENFORCED IN OR BY SUCH COURTS, AND THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED BY SUCH A NEW YORK STATE OR FEDERAL COURT.

| -23- |
(n) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) 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; (II) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (III) SUCH PARTY MAKES THE FOREGOING WAIVER VOLUNTARILY; AND (IV) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9(n).
10. Non-Reliance and Exculpation. Each Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, any of its affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), other than the statements, representations and warranties of Lilium expressly contained in Section 4, Section 8(a) and Section 11 of this Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in Lilium. Each Investor acknowledges and agrees that none of (i) any other Investor pursuant to the Transaction Documents or any other Agreement related to the private placement of the Securities (including such Investor’s respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), (ii) the Placement Agent, its affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing, or (iii) any affiliates, or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of Lilium shall be liable to such Investor, or to any other Investor, pursuant to the Transaction Documents or any other agreement related to the private placement of the Securities, the negotiation hereof or thereof or the subject matter hereof or thereof, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Securities.
11. Press Releases. Lilium shall, on or prior to 9:00 a.m. New York City time, on the first business day following the Pricing Date, issue one or more press releases or furnish or file with the SEC a current report on Form 6-K (collectively, the “Disclosure Document”) disclosing, to the extent not previously publicly disclosed, the transactions contemplated hereby, all material terms thereof and any other material, non-public information that Lilium has provided to any Investor at any time prior to the filing of the Disclosure Document except, with respect to each Investor, for such material non-public information that has been provided pursuant to and is the subject of a non-disclosure or confidentiality or similar agreement between such Investor and Lilium that remains in effect as of the date hereof. Prior to the Disclosure Document, the parties shall keep the transactions contemplated hereby confidential, and no party shall make any public announcement regarding the transactions contemplated hereby. From and after the disclosure of the Disclosure Document, to the knowledge of Lilium, except as noted above, no Investor shall be in possession of any material, non-public information received from Lilium or its officers, directors, employees or agents, and no Investor shall be subject to any confidentiality or similar obligations under any current agreement, whether written or oral, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. All press releases or other public communications relating to the transactions contemplated hereby between Xxxxxx and the Investors, and the method of the release for publication thereof, shall be subject to the prior written approval of (i) Lilium, and (ii) to the extent such press release or public communication references any Investor or its affiliates or investment advisers by name, such Investor. The restriction in this Section 11 shall not apply to any public announcement from and after the date of the Disclosure Document to the extent the public announcement is required by applicable securities law, any governmental authority or stock exchange rule; provided, that in such an event, the applicable party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other party in advance as to its form, content and timing.

13. For the avoidance of doubt, all obligations of any Investor hereunder are separate and several from the obligations of any other Investor. The decision of any Investor to purchase the Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Lilium or any of its Subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any Other Investor or Investor or by any agent or employee of any other Investor, and none of the Investor nor any of their respective agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Investor (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement (including the Other Securities Purchase Agreements), and no action taken by any Investor or any Other Investors pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute any Investor and any other Investor as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that any Investor and any Other Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Other Securities Purchase Agreements. Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and no other Investor will be acting as agent of any other Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under this Agreement. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
