RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Sponsor currently holds Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Pegasus (the “Founder Shares”);
WHEREAS, Pegasus expects to hold an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders (the “Meeting”) for the purpose of approving, among other things, the business combination transaction (the “Business Combination”) contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2023 (and as amended by the First Amendment to Business Combination Agreement dated September 26, 2023, and the Second Amendment to Business Combination Agreement dated January 29, 2024, and as may be further amended from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), between, among others, Pegasus and Gebr. Xxxxxx GmbH (“Xxxxxx”);
WHEREAS, the shareholders of Pegasus may redeem their Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Pegasus initially sold as part of the units in Pegasus’s initial public offering (whether they were purchased in Pegasus’s initial public offering or thereafter in the open market) (the “Public Shares” and together with the Founder Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”) in connection with the shareholder vote on the Business Combination, on the terms set forth in the Pegasus Memorandum and Articles of Association (“Redemption Rights”);
WHEREAS, Pegasus, the Sponsor and the other parties thereto entered into a letter agreement dated October 21, 2021 (the “Insider Letter”) pursuant to which the transfer of the Founder Shares before the expiration of the Lock-Up Period (as defined in the Insider Letter) is subject to certain restrictions contained therein;
WHEREAS, Pegasus, the Sponsor, Xxxxxx and Pegasus TopCo B.V. entered into a sponsor agreement dated May 31, 2023 (the “Sponsor Agreement”) pursuant to which the transfer of the Founder Shares before the expiration of the Lock-Up Period (as defined in the Sponsor Agreement) is subject to certain restrictions contained therein;
WHEREAS, Pegasus, Xxxxxx XxxXx, and the other parties thereto have agreed to lift and waive the applicable restrictions on transfers and lock-up periods in the Insider Letter and Sponsor Agreement in relation to the Founder Shares that are transferred to the Investor in an agreement dated February [27], 2024;
WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Sponsor desires to transfer to Investor, and Investor desires to acquire from the Sponsor, that number of Founder Shares set forth opposite such Investor’s name on Exhibit A (the “Assigned Securities”), to be transferred to Investor in connection with Pegasus’s completion of its Business Combination, and, prior to the transfer of the Assigned Securities to Investor, the Sponsor desires to assign the economic benefits of the Assigned Securities to Investor.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Investor and the Sponsor hereby agree as follows:
1. | Terms of Transfer. |
1.1. | Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, if (a) as of 5:30 p.m., Eastern time, on the date of the Meeting (the "Applicable Class A Shares Holding Time"), Investor holds the Investor Shares (as defined below) whether of record or beneficially, (b) Investor does not exercise (or exercised and validly rescinds) its Redemption Rights with respect to such Investor Shares in connection with the Meeting, and (c) the Business Combination and the other matters put to the vote of Pegasus shareholders which are necessary for the consummation of the Business Combination (the "Required Shareholder Approval Matters") are authorized and approved at the Meeting (conditions (a), (b) and (c) together, the “Pre-Conditions”), then the Sponsor hereby agrees to assign and transfer to Investor for no additional consideration the Assigned Securities set forth on Exhibit A, and the Sponsor further agrees to assign to Investor the Economic Interest (as defined below) associated with the Assigned Securities. “Investor Shares” shall mean an amount of the Public Shares presently held by Investor, whether of record or beneficially, as detailed in Schedule A. Where Investor does not hold Public Shares in an amount sufficient to satisfy their commitment amount as shown in Schedule A at the Applicable Class A Shares Holding Time or where Investor does not hold Public Shares at all at the Applicable Class A Shares Holding Time, Investor hereby commits itself to purchase, at a purchase price equal to the redemption price for Public Shares for each share, an amount of TopCo shares equal to the Investor Shares not held by Investor (“New Shares”), subject to the following limitation: the maximum amount of New Shares to be issued by TopCo to all investors entering into non-redemption and investment agreements shall not exceed (i) 4,500,017 Class A Ordinary Shares less (ii) the amount of Public Shares which were not redeemed in connection with the Meeting (where the number of such New Shares were to exceed the number of shares available for issue by TopCo under such maximum amount, the New Shares shall be issued pro rata to all investors who entered into non-redemption and investment agreements subscribing to New Shares and the number of Founder Shares to be transferred to such investors by the Sponsor as set forth in Schedule A shall be reduced pro-rata to the reduced number of New Shares issued to the investors). |
1.2. | The Sponsor and Pegasus agree to provide Investor with the information on the final number of Investor Shares and/or New Shares subject to this Agreement no later than 9.00 a.m. Eastern on the first business day following the date of the Meeting (and in all cases a sufficient amount of time to allow Investor to reverse any exercise of Redemption Rights with regard to any Investor Shares, if applicable). For the avoidance of doubt, the shares issued by TopCo to Investor at the closing of the Business Combination will not be subject to any limitations set out in the Insider Letter. |
1.3. | The Sponsor and Investor hereby agree that the transfer and assignment of the Assigned Securities hereunder shall be subject to the conditions that, and shall not be effected unless and until, (i) the satisfaction of the Pre-Conditions; and (ii) Investor (or its Permitted Transferees) executes the Joinder (as defined in Section 1.8) and (iii) in case of the issuance by TopCo of New Shares, until the Investor has paid the purchase price for the New Shares to an account of TopCo, the details of which will be provided to Investor by Sponsor (which shall be at the latest on the day of the closing of the Business Combination). For purposes hereof, “Permitted Transferee” means any affiliate of Investor. |
Upon the satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, the Sponsor shall promptly transfer the Assigned Securities to Investor (or its Permitted Transferee) free and clear of any liens or other encumbrances.
1.4. | Adjustment to Share Amounts. If at any time the number of outstanding Founder Shares is increased or decreased by a consolidation, combination, subdivision or reclassification of the Ordinary Shares or other similar event, then, as of the effective date of such consolidation, combination, subdivision, reclassification or similar event, all share numbers referenced in this Agreement shall be adjusted in proportion to such increase or decrease in the Ordinary Shares. The foregoing shall not apply to a reclassification of the share capital of Pegasus in connection with the closing of the Business Combination. |
1.5. | Merger or Reorganization, etc. If prior to the transfer of the Assigned Securities to Investor there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving Pegasus in which its Ordinary Shares are converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, in lieu of Ordinary Shares, the Sponsor shall transfer, with respect to each Founder Share to be transferred hereunder, upon the Sponsor’s receipt thereof, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property into which the Assigned Securities converted or exchanged and the Economic Interest shall be with respect to such kind and amount of securities, cash or other property. |
1.6. | Forfeitures, Transfers, etc. Investor shall not be subject to forfeiture, surrender, claw-back, transfers, disposals, exchanges or earn-outs for any reason on the Assigned Securities. |
1.7. | Delivery of Shares; Other Documents. At the time of the transfer of Assigned Securities hereunder, the Sponsor shall deliver the Assigned Securities to Investor by transfer of book-entry shares effected through Pegasus’s transfer agent. The parties to this Agreement agree to execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments and to do all such other acts, as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement. |
1.8. | Assignment of Registration Rights. Concurrent with the transfer of Assigned Securities to Investor under this Agreement, the Sponsor hereby assigns all of its rights, duties and obligations to Investor with respect to the Assigned Securities under that certain TopCo Registration Rights Agreement, by and among Pegasus, the Sponsor, TopCo and the other parties signatory thereto (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), and hereby represents and confirms to Investor that, upon Investor’s receipt of the Assigned Securities, (i) Investor shall be a “Holder” under the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) the Assigned Securities shall be “Registrable Securities” under the Registration Rights Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the Sponsor’s written notice to Pegasus of such assignment in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement (if required). Investor shall execute the Joinder, pursuant to which, Investor will be bound by the terms and provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement as a “Holder” thereunder with respect to the Assigned Securities (upon acquisition thereof) as “Registrable Securities” thereunder. |
1.9. | Termination. This Agreement and each of the obligations of the undersigned shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the failure of Pegasus’s shareholders to approve the Required Shareholder Approval Matters at the Meeting, (b) Pegasus’s abandonment of the Business Combination prior to consummation, (c) the fulfilment of all obligations of parties hereto, (d) the liquidation or dissolution of Pegasus, (e) the mutual written agreement of the parties hereto; or (f) if Investor exercises its Redemption Rights with respect to any Investor Shares in connection with the Meeting and does not validly rescind such redemption request. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Sponsor’s obligation to transfer the Assigned Securities to Investor shall be conditioned on (i) the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 1.3 and (ii) such Investor Shares not being redeemed in connection with the Meeting. |
2. | Assignment of Economic Interest. |
2.1. | Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 1.3, the Sponsor hereby assigns to Investor all of its economic right, title and interest in and to that number of Assigned Securities set forth on Exhibit A (the “Economic Interest”), subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 2.2. The Economic Interest represents the Sponsor’s right to receive dividends and other distributions made by Pegasus allocated to that number of Assigned Securities set forth on Exhibit A represented by the Founder Shares held directly by the Sponsor. This Agreement constitutes the Sponsor’s written notice to Pegasus of such assignment of the Economic Interest. |
2.2. | If at any time the number of outstanding Founder Shares is increased or decreased by a consolidation, combination, subdivision or reclassification or other similar event, then, as of the effective date of such consolidation, combination, subdivision, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares underlying the Economic Interest shall be adjusted in proportion to such increase or decrease in outstanding Founder Shares. The foregoing shall not apply to a reclassification of the share capital of Pegasus in connection with the closing of the Business Combination. |
2.3. | Investor acknowledges and agrees that it is not a member of Sponsor, it has no right to vote on matters of the Sponsor as a result of the Assigned Securities or Economic Interest, or to vote with respect to any Assigned Securities, and it has no right to vote Assigned Securities prior to transfer of any such shares to Investor pursuant to this Agreement. |
2.4. | Investor acknowledges and agrees that if it has a right pursuant to its Economic Interest to receive any dividends or other distributions paid in Ordinary Shares or other non-cash property, the Sponsor shall transfer all of its right, title and interest in such dividends or distributions concurrently with the transfer of the Assigned Securities to such Investor pursuant to Section 1. The Sponsor agrees to hold all such money in trust and agrees that it shall not withdraw any such funds once received prior to the transfer of the Assigned Securities to Investor. |
2.5. | If the conditions to the transfer of the Founder Shares in Section 1.3 are not satisfied with respect to any Founder Shares, then Investor shall automatically assign its Economic Interest in such Founder Shares back to the Sponsor, for no consideration. |
3. | Representations and Warranties of Investor. Investor represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Sponsor and Pegasus that: |
3.1. | No Government Recommendation or Approval. Investor understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the offering of the Assigned Securities. |
3.2. | Accredited Investor. At the time Investor was offered the Assigned Securities (including the Economic Interest), it was, and as of the date hereof such Investor is, an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and acknowledges that the offer and sale contemplated hereby are being made in reliance, among other things, on a private placement exemption to “accredited investors” under the Securities Act and similar exemptions under state law. |
3.3. | No General Solicitation. Such Investor did not learn of the investment in the Assigned Securities as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising. |
3.4. | Intent. Investor is acquiring the Assigned Securities solely for investment purposes, for such Investor’s own account (and/or for the account or benefit of its members or affiliates, as permitted) and not with a view to the distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act, and Investor has no present arrangement to sell Assigned Securities to or through any person or entity except as may be permitted hereunder. |
3.5. | Restrictions on Transfer; Trust Account; Redemption Rights. |
3.5.1. | Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Assigned Securities are not entitled to, and have no redemption rights nor any other right, interest or claim of any kind in or to, any monies held in the trust account into which the proceeds of Pegasus’s initial public offering were deposited (the “Trust Account”) or are distributed as a result of any dissolution or liquidation of Pegasus or liquidation of the Trust Account. |
3.5.2. | Investor, solely for the benefit of and, notwithstanding anything else herein, enforceable only by Pegasus, irrevocably agrees to waive any right that it may have to elect to have Pegasus redeem any Investor Shares, and agrees not to redeem or otherwise exercise any right to redeem the Investor Shares, in each case solely in connection with the Business Combination, and agrees to reverse and revoke any prior redemption elections made with respect to the Investor Shares in connection with the Business Combination. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement is intended to restrict or prohibit Investor’s ability (i) to redeem any Public Shares other than the Investor Shares, (ii) to trade or redeem any Public Shares (other than the Investor Shares) in its discretion and at any time or (iii) to trade or redeem any Investor Shares in its discretion and at any time after the date of the Meeting. |
3.5.3. | Investor, solely for the benefit of and, notwithstanding anything else herein, enforceable only by Pegasus, irrevocably agrees to waive, and agrees not to exercise or assert, any dissenters’ rights under Section 238 of the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands or any other similar statute in connection with the Business Combination, including the merger of Pegasus, contemplated the Business Combination Agreement. |
3.5.4. | Investor acknowledges and understands that (a) the Assigned Securities are being offered in a transaction not involving a public offering in the United States within the meaning of the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act and, if in the future Investor decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer Assigned Securities, such Assigned Securities may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only (A) pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, (B) pursuant to an exemption from registration under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, if available, or (C) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state or any other jurisdiction, and (b) the Assigned Securities may be subject to legends and stock transfer instructions consistent with the foregoing. Investor agrees that, if any transfer of the Assigned Securities or any interest therein is proposed to be made (other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act), as a condition precedent to any such transfer, Investor may be required to deliver to Pegasus an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Pegasus that registration is not required with respect to the Assigned Securities to be transferred. Absent registration or another available exemption from registration, Investor agrees it will not transfer the Assigned Securities. |
3.6. | Sophisticated Investor. Investor is sophisticated in business and financial matters and able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Assigned Securities. |
3.7. | Risk of Loss. Investor is aware that an investment in the Assigned Securities is highly speculative and subject to substantial risks. Investor is cognizant of and understands the risks related to the acquisition of the Assigned Securities. Investor is able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Assigned Securities for an indefinite period of time and able to sustain a complete loss of such investment. |
3.8. | Independent Investigation. Investor has relied upon an independent investigation of Pegasus and has not relied upon any information or representations made by any third parties or upon any oral or written representations or assurances, express or implied, from Pegasus or the Sponsor or any representatives or agents of Pegasus or the Sponsor, other than the representations of the Sponsor as set forth in this Agreement. Investor is familiar with the business, operations and financial condition of Pegasus and has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, Pegasus’s management concerning Pegasus and the terms and conditions of the proposed sale of the Assigned Securities and has had full access to such other information concerning Pegasus as Investor has requested. Investor confirms that all documents that it has requested have been made available and that Investor has been supplied with all of the additional information concerning this investment which Investor has requested. |
3.9. | Disclosure of Information. Investor or its advisor has had an opportunity to receive, review and understand all information related to Pegasus requested by it and to ask questions of and receive answers from Pegasus regarding Pegasus, its business and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Assigned Securities, and has conducted and completed its own independent due diligence. Such Investor acknowledges receipt of copies of Pegasus’s filings made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that are available on the SEC’s XXXXX system. Based on the information such Investor or its advisor has deemed appropriate, and without reliance on Pegasus, Sponsor or its advisor, Investor has independently made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Such Investor or its advisor is relying exclusively on its own sources of information, investment analysis and due diligence (including professional advice it deems appropriate), including but not limited to all business, legal, regulatory, accounting, credit and tax matters. |
3.10. | Organization and Authority. If an entity, Investor is duly organized and existing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it was organized and it possesses all requisite power and authority to acquire the Assigned Securities, enter into this Agreement and perform all the obligations required to be performed by Investor hereunder. |
3.11. | Non-U.S. Investor. If Investor is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Code”)), Investor hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Assigned Securities or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the acquisition of the Assigned Securities, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such acquisition, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the acquisition, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Assigned Securities. Investor’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Assigned Securities will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of Investor’s jurisdiction. |
3.12. | Authority. This Agreement has been validly authorized, executed and delivered by Investor and is a valid and binding agreement enforceable against Investor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, reorganization or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by equitable principles of general application and except as enforcement of rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by federal and state securities laws or principles of public policy. |
3.13. | No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by Investor of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of Investor’s organizational documents or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Investor is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to such Investor, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not reasonably be expected to prevent Investor from fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement. |
3.14. | No Intent to Effect a Change of Control; Ownership. Such Investor has no present intent to effect a “change of control” of Pegasus as such term is understood under the rules promulgated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Act, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). |
3.15. | No Advice from Sponsor or Pegasus. Investor has had the opportunity to review this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with Investor’s own legal counsel and investment and tax advisors. Except for any statements or representations of the Sponsor explicitly made in this Agreement, Investor is relying solely on such counsel and advisors and not on any statements or representations, express or implied, of the Sponsor or any of its representatives or agents for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation for legal, tax or investment advice, with respect to this investment, the Sponsor, Pegasus, the Assigned Securities, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the securities laws of any jurisdiction. |
3.16. | Reliance on Representations and Warranties. Investor understands that the Assigned Securities are being offered and transferred to Investor in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements under the Securities Act, and analogous provisions in the laws and regulations of various states, and that the Sponsor is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Investor set forth in this Agreement in order to determine the applicability of such provisions. |
3.17. | Brokers. No broker, finder or intermediary has been paid or is entitled to a fee or commission from or by Investor in connection with the acquisition of the Assigned Securities nor is Investor entitled to or will accept any such fee or commission. |
3.18. | No Pending Actions. There is no action pending against Investor or, to the Investor’s knowledge, threatened against Investor, before any court, arbitrator or governmental authority, which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by Investor of its obligations under this Agreement. |
4. | Representations and Warranties of Sponsor. The Sponsor represents and warrants to, and agrees with, Investor that: |
4.1. | Power and Authority. The Sponsor is a limited liability company duly formed and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands and possesses all requisite limited liability company power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform all of the obligations required to be performed by the Sponsor hereunder, including the assignment, sale and transfer the Assigned Securities and the assignment of the Economic Interest. |
4.2. | Authority. All corporate action on the part of the Sponsor and its officers, managers and members necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of all obligations of the Sponsor required pursuant hereto has been taken.

4.7. | Reliance on Representations and Warranties. The Sponsor understands and acknowledges that Investor is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Sponsor set forth in this Agreement. |
4.8. | No Pending Actions.

5. | Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. |
5.1. | This Agreement and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. |

9.2. | Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision; provided that no such severability shall be effective if it materially changes the economic benefit of this Agreement to any party. |
10. | Headings. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. |
11. | Disclosure; Waiver. As soon as practicable, Pegasus will file (to the extent that it has not already filed) a Current Report on Form 8-K under the Exchange Act reporting the material terms of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and any other material, non-public information that Pegasus has provided to Investor at any time prior to such filing. Upon such filing, to Pegasus’s knowledge, Investor shall not be in possession of any material non-public information received from Pegasus or any of its officers, directors or employees. The parties to this Agreement shall cooperate with one another to assure that such disclosure is accurate. Pegasus agrees that the name of Investor shall not be included in any public disclosures related to this Agreement unless required by applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule. Investor (i) acknowledges that the Sponsor may possess or have access to material non-public information which has not been communicated to Investor; (ii) hereby waives any and all claims, whether at law, in equity or otherwise, that he, she or it may now have or may hereafter acquire, whether presently known or unknown, against the Sponsor or any of Pegasus’s officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, subsidiaries, successors or assigns relating to any failure to disclose any non-public information in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including any potential business combination involving Pegasus, including without limitation, any claims arising under Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act; and (iii) is aware that the Sponsor is relying on the truth of the representations set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement and the foregoing acknowledgement and waiver in this Section 11, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. |
12. | Independent Nature of Rights and Obligations. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any party pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute Investor and the Sponsor as, and the Sponsor acknowledges that Investor and the Sponsor do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that Investor and the Sponsor are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters, and the Sponsor acknowledges that Investor and the Sponsor are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Sponsor shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. |
13. | Most Favoured Nation. In the event the Sponsor or Pegasus enter one or more other non-redemption agreements before or after the execution of this Agreement in connection with the Meeting, the Sponsor and Pegasus represent that the terms of such other agreements are not materially more favourable to such other investors thereunder than the terms of this Agreement are in respect of Investor. In the event that another investor is afforded any such more favourable terms than Investor, the Sponsor shall promptly inform Investor of such more favourable terms in writing, and Investor shall have the right to elect to have such more favourable terms included herein, in which case the parties hereto shall promptly amend this Agreement to effect the same. |
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first above written.

EXHIBIT B
FORM OF JOINDER
TO
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
[●], 2024
Reference is made to that certain Non-Redemption Agreement and Assignment of Economic Interest, dated as of [●], 2024 (the “Agreement”), by and among the investor listed on Exhibit A to the Agreement (“Investor”), Pegasus Digital Mobility Acquisition Corp. (“Pegasus”) and Pegasus Digital Mobility Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), pursuant to which Sponsor agreed to transfer to Investor and Investor agreed to acquire from Sponsor securities of Pegasus. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Agreement.
By executing this joinder, Investor hereby agrees, as of the date first set forth above, that Investor shall become a party to that certain TopCo Registration Rights Agreement, by and among Pegasus, the Sponsor, TopCo and the other parties signatory thereto (as it exists on the date of the Agreement, the “Registration Rights Agreement”), and shall be bound by the terms and provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement as a Holder (as defined therein) and entitled to the rights of a Holder under the Registration Rights Agreement and the Assigned Securities (together with any other equity security of Pegasus or TopCo issued or issuable with respect to any such Assigned Securities by way of a share dividend or share subdivision or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or reorganization) shall be “Registrable Securities” thereunder.
For the purposes of clarity, it is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained herein and in the Registration Rights Agreement is between Pegasus and Investor, solely, and not between and among Investor and the other shareholders of Pegasus signatory thereto.
This joinder may be executed in two or more counterparts, and by facsimile, all of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
