No event or circumstance has occurred or information exists with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or its or their business, properties, liabilities, prospects, operations (including results thereof) or conditions (financial or otherwise), which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure at or before the date hereof or announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly disclosed. The Company acknowledges and agrees that Investor does not make or has not made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 8.
8.Investor Representations and Warranties. The Investor represents and warrants to Joby that all of the following statements are true and complete as of the date hereof and that such statements will be true and complete as of the Initial Closing Date and Additional Closing Date:

(b)The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act, that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares may not be offered, resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by the Investor absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act except (i) to Joby or a subsidiary thereof, (ii) to non-U.S. persons pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act or (iii) pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and, in each case, in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other applicable jurisdictions. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares will be subject to these securities law transfer restrictions and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, the Investor may not be able to readily offer, resell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares will not immediately be eligible for offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that it has been advised to consult legal, tax and accounting advisors prior to making any offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition of any of the Shares.
(c)The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the book-entry position representing the Shares will bear or reflect, as applicable, a legend substantially similar to the following (provided that such legend shall be subject to removal in accordance with this Purchase Agreement):
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
    16


ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM.”
(d)The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor is purchasing the Shares from Joby. The Investor further acknowledges that there have been no representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made to the Investor, by or on behalf of Joby and by any control person, officer, director, employee, agents or representative of Joby, or any other person or entity, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Joby expressly set forth in this Purchase Agreement.
(e)The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor has received such information as the Investor deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares, including information about the business of Joby and its subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed Joby’s filings with the SEC. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor and the Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as the Investor and such Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares.
(f)The Investor became aware of this offering of the Shares solely by means of direct contact between the Investor and Joby, and the Shares were offered to the Investor solely by direct contact between the Investor and Joby. The Investor did not become aware of this offering of the Shares, nor were the Shares offered to the Investor, by any other means including, without limitation, by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. The Investor acknowledges that, in making its investment decision to invest in Joby, it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or entity (including, without limitation, Joby and any of its control persons, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives), other than the representations and warranties of Joby contained in Section 7 of this Purchase Agreement.
(g)The Investor acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Shares, including those set forth in Joby’s filings with the SEC. The Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, and the Investor has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Investor has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision. The Investor acknowledges that Investor shall be responsible for any of the Investor’s tax liabilities that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Purchase Agreement (unless otherwise set forth in this Purchase Agreement), and that neither Joby, nor any of its advisors or representatives, has provided any tax advice or any other representation or guarantee regarding the tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Purchase Agreement.
(h)Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), the Investor has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Shares and determined that the Shares are a suitable investment for the Investor and that the Investor is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of the Investor’s investment in Joby. The Investor acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.
(i)The Investor acknowledges and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.
(j)The 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, with power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
(k)The execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of this Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby are within the corporate powers of the Investor, have been duly authorized and will not (a) constitute or result in a breach or
    17


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 the Investor is a party or by which the Investor is bound and (b) will not violate any provisions of the Investor’s organizational documents, including, without limitation, its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, as may be applicable, except in the case of clause (a), such as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Investor’s ability to perform its obligation under this Purchase Agreement. The signature of the Investor on this Purchase Agreement is genuine, and the signatory has been duly authorized to execute the same, and, assuming that this Purchase Agreement has been validly executed and delivered by a duly authorized representative of Joby, this Purchase Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Investor, and is enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms except as may be limited or otherwise affected by the Equitable Exceptions.
(l)Neither the Investor nor any of its officers or directors or any other person acting in a similar capacity or carrying out a similar function, is (i) a person named on a Sanctions List; (ii) directly or indirectly owned or controlled by, or acting on behalf of, one or more persons on a Sanctions List; (iii) organized, incorporated, established, located, resident or born in, or a citizen, national, or the government, including any political subdivision, agency, or instrumentality thereof, of Russia, Belarus, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela, the Crimea region of Ukraine, or any other country or territory embargoed or subject to substantial trade restrictions by the United States, the European Union or any individual European Union member state, including the United Kingdom; (iv) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515; or (v) a Restricted Party. To the extent required by applicable law, the Investor also represents that it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with sanctions administered by the United States, the European Union, or any individual European Union member state, including the United Kingdom, to the extent applicable to the Investor. The Investor further represents that the funds held by the Investor and used to purchase the Shares were legally derived and were not obtained, directly or indirectly, from a Restricted Party.
(m)The Investor does not act on behalf of (i) any employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) any plan or an individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), (iii) any entity whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement described in clauses (i) and (ii) (each, an “ERISA Plan”), or (iv) any employee benefit plan that is a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA), a non-U.S. plan (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) or other plan that is not subject to the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) but may be subject to provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S., or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code.
(n)On the Initial Closing Date and the Additional Closing Date, the Investor will have sufficient funds to pay the Purchase Amount and consummate the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Purchase Agreement.
9.Obligations of the Company.
(a)During the period beginning on the date of this Purchase Agreement and ending on the Additional Closing Date, except as specifically consented in writing by Investor (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld), the Company and its subsidiaries shall (i) carry on their respective businesses in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice and in compliance with applicable law, ordinance, and regulation of any governmental body (including using its best efforts to maintain compliance with the continuing listing requirements of NYSE) and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to preserve substantially intact their business organization and to preserve the current relationships of the Company with customers, suppliers and other persons with which the Company has significant business relations.
(b)The proceeds from the sale of the Shares shall be used in accordance with the purposes set forth in the strategic business plan of the Company as approved by the Joby Board (including, without limitation, expenditures contemplated by the Initial Closing Transaction Documents). The Company shall not use the proceeds from the sale of the Shares, directly or indirectly, for (i) the repurchase or redemption of any indebtedness or equity of the Company or any of its affiliates or (ii) the payment of dividends or other distributions.
(c)From the date hereof to the Additional Closing Date, (i) the Company shall keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the Initial
    18


Closing and the Additional Closing, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be sufficient to effect the issuance of the Initial Shares and the Additional Shares in accordance with the terms of this Purchase Agreement,(ii) the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Common Stock to continue to be registered as a class of securities under Sections 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and to comply with its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act, and shall not take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) to terminate or suspend such registration or to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act or Securities Act, (iii) the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock and the listing of the Shares purchased or acquired by the Investor hereunder on the open market and to comply with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the rules and regulations of the NYSE, and (iv) the Company shall not and shall cause its subsidiaries not to take any action which could be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock on the NYSE. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 9(c).
(d)With a view to making available to Investor the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the resale of the Shares, the Company shall, from the Initial Closing Date until such date that the Shares are no longer Registrable Shares (as defined below): (a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; (b) file with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act, at any time when the Company is subject to such reporting requirements; and (c) furnish to Investor promptly upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and such other reports and documents as Investor may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any Shares without registration (in each case to the extent not readily publicly available) or pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or Form S-3ASR), or if such Registration Statement is not then available, a Registration Statement on Form S-1.
(e)The Company shall use reasonable efforts to remove the legend set forth in Section 8(c) above (including by providing any opinions or other documents that may be required by the Company’s transfer agent) if (i) the Shares are registered for resale under the Securities Act (provided that, if Investor is selling pursuant to the effective registration statement registering the Shares for resale, Investor agrees to only sell such Shares during such time that such registration statement is effective and not withdrawn or suspended, and only as permitted by such registration statement), (ii) the Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) the Shares are eligible for resale under Rule 144 or any successor provision, without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, and in each case provided that each of the Investor and its broker shall have delivered customary documents reasonably requested by the Company’s transfer agent and/or Company counsel in connection with such sale or transfer. All costs and expenses related to the removal of the legends and the reissuance of any Shares, including but not limited to costs and expenses with respect to the transfer agent, Company counsel or otherwise, but excluding any counsel to the Investor (unless the provisions related to registration rights below are otherwise applicable), shall be borne by the Company. Following the earlier of the date on which the Registration Statement (as defined below) is first declared effective by the SEC, or at such other time as a legend is no longer required for the Shares, including any portion thereof, if requested by Investor, the Company shall request that the transfer agent remove any restrictive legends related to such Shares, whether certificated or uncertificated, and issue a new, unlegended stock certificate or make a new, unlegended book-entry for such Shares, as the case may be, as promptly as practicable following any such request.
(f)The Company shall take such action, if any, as is necessary by the Company in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify the Shares for sale by the Company to the Investor pursuant to this Purchase Agreement, and at the request of the Investor, the subsequent resale of Shares by the Investor, in each case, under applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Investor from time to time following the Initial Closing Date; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this provision, (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.
(g)During the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date on which Investor ceases to hold any Shares, the Company shall take all necessary action to ensure that the Shares and any other shares of Common Stock held by the Investor and its affiliates maintain all voting rights; provided further, for the
    19


avoidance of doubt, that the Company will not issue, and will prohibit its subsidiaries from issuing, any Common Stock or other equity-linked instruments to any other holder that may result in the Shares or any other shares of Common Stock held by the Investor or its affiliates not maintaining all such voting rights.
(h)Within fifteen (15) calendar days after each of the Initial Issuance and the Additional Issuance, the Company shall file a Form D in accordance with the requirements of Regulation D as promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act.
10.Registration Rights.
(a)No later than the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after the date of the Additional Closing or (ii) September 30, 2025, the Company shall file a registration statement on Form S-3 (provided that if the Company is then eligible to use Form S-3ASR, it shall file the registration statement on such form) (or, if the Company is not then eligible to use a Form S-3ASR or Form S-3, on Form S-1) (a “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act covering the resale of all of the Registrable Shares (as defined below) and any other shares of Common Stock issued in respect of such securities upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or similar event, in accordance with any reasonable method of distribution elected by the Investor; provided that if not all such Registrable Shares can then be included on the Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly amend such Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement to cover any additional Registrable Shares. The Company shall as soon as practicable (i) effect a Registration Statement covering the resale of the Registrable Shares as soon as practicable after receipt thereof (but in no event later than the earlier of (a) forty-five (45) calendar days after the date of the initial filing of the Registration Statement if the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (or sixty (60) calendar days following the initial filing of a Registration Statement if such Registration Statement is filed on Form S-3 and the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” such Registration Statement; or ninety (90) calendar days following the initial filing of a Registration Statement if such Registration Statement is filed on Form S-1 and the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” such Registration Statement); and (b) the fifth (5th) business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review; and (ii) cause such Registration Statement to remain effective until such date as no Registrable Shares remain outstanding (and if any such Registration Statement ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time, the Company shall promptly cause such Registration Statement to again become effective (including using its best efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement) or file a new Registration Statement promptly and cause such Registration Statement to become effective no later than the time period set forth in clause (i)); provided, that the Company’s obligation to file a Registration Statement is contingent upon the Investor furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the Investor, the securities of the Company held by the Investor and the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Shares, as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of such Registrable Shares in compliance with applicable securities laws and which information shall be requested by the Company from the Investor at least five (5) Trading Days (as defined below) prior to the anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement. The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use to permit the Investor to sell their Registrable Shares included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Shares. In no event shall the Investor be identified as a statutory “underwriter” in any Registration Statement or in any prospectus contained therein
(a)At any time and from time to time following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Investor may deliver to the Company one or more written requests (the “Demand Request”) that the resale of Registrable Shares be effectuated by means of an underwritten offering, direct registered offering, overnight offering, block trade, at the market or similar offering, which request shall specify the aggregate number of Registrable Shares proposed to be resold under such Registration Statement; provided that the aggregate offering value of the Registrable Shares covered by such Demand Request is (i) equal to at least $50,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed to by the Company) or (ii) covers all remaining Registrable Shares held by the Investor. In the event of such a resale (a “Shelf Takedown”), the Company shall be obligated to effect such Shelf Takedown and use reasonable efforts to cooperate and assist Investor with any actions reasonably necessary to consummate such resale and the Company and the Investor shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting. The Company shall have the right to select the underwriters for any such Shelf Takedown (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized
    20


investment banks), subject to the Investor’s prior approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10, if the underwriter(s), in good faith, advise(s) the Company and the Investor (and any other party participating in such Shelf Takedown, if any) in writing that dollar amount or number of Registrable Shares that the Investor desires to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and all other shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, that have been requested to be sold in such Shelf Takedown pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders of the Company, exceed the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Shelf Takedown without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such Shelf Takedown, before including any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities proposed to be sold by the Company or by other holders of Common Stock or other equity securities, the Registrable Shares of the Investor that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities. If Investor disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, Investor may elect to withdraw therefrom prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplemented used for marketing such Shelf Takedown. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any Demand Request pursuant to this Section 10(b) during the period that is thirty (30) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is sixty (60) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration (provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective); provided, however, that the Company may not invoke this right more than twice in any twelve (12) month period; provided further that (i) the Company shall not register or effect any registration of securities of any other stockholder during such time and (ii) the Company continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement.
(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, if the Company furnishes to Investor following a Demand Request a certificate signed by the Company’s chief executive officer or chief financial officer stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board that a Registration Statement would (i) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure (as defined below), (ii) require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, or (iii) be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders and as a result that it is necessary to defer such filing, initial effectiveness or continued use at such time, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to Investor, the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing for the shortest period of time determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. and any time periods with respect to filing or effectiveness thereof shall be tolled correspondingly, for a period of not more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days after the Demand Request is given; provided, however, that the Company may not invoke this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; and provided further that the Company shall not register any securities for its own account or that of any other stockholder during such sixty (60) day period without the consent of Investor. For the purposes of this Section 10(b), “Adverse Disclosure” shall mean any public disclosure of material non-public information, which disclosure, in the good faith judgment of the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer of the Company, after consultation with counsel to the Company, (i) would be required to be made in any Registration Statement in order for the applicable Registration Statement not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading, (ii) would not be required to be made at such time if the Registration Statement were not being filed, declared effective or used, as the case may be, and (iii) the Company has a bona fide business purpose for not making such information public.
(c)The costs, fees and expenses of the Company associated with a Registration Statement, a Shelf Takedown and Piggyback Registration (as defined below) and any sale or transfer of the Shares in connection therewith will be borne by the Company, including any stamp taxes and other taxes (other than income taxes); provided that the Investor shall bear the Selling Expenses (as defined below) applicable to the sale of its Registrable Shares pursuant to such Shelf Takedown and Piggyback Registration, and the fees and disbursements of legal counsel for the Investor in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company enters into an agreement after the date of this Purchase Agreement agreeing to pay the fees and disbursements of counsel of any investor or stockholder of the Company in connection with any registration statement, shelf takedown or piggyback registration, the Company will also pay the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Investor in connection with any Registration Statement, Shelf Takedown and Piggyback Registration thereafter.
    21


(d)Whenever required to effect any Shelf Takedown, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible, furnish without charge, at the request of Investor, (i) an opinion and a “negative assurance letter” of the counsel representing the Company, each dated as of the closing date or as may otherwise be required by the underwriters, in any underwritten transaction, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and covering such legal matters as the Investor or underwriter may reasonably request addressed to the underwriters, (ii) “comfort” letters dated as of the pricing and closing date of the offering, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to the underwriters and Investor, addressed to the underwriters and (iii) copies of any Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and any comments from the SEC and responses by the Company thereto. The Company shall provide a draft of any Registration Statement to Investor at least seven (7) business days in advance of filing the Registration Statement. Further, the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file any supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement or prospectus therein as may be required by law or as reasonably requested by Investor, including any amendment or supplement to increase the number of Registrable Shares registered thereby or to amend any other information included therein, as soon as practicable after the receipt of written notice from Investor requesting such amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement. In the event that the Investor holds Registrable Shares that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, the Company, upon written request of the Investor, shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Shares to be covered by either, any then available Registration Statement (including by means of a post-effective amendment) or by filing a subsequent Registration Statement and cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain (i) all necessary state securities law or “blue sky” permits and approvals required to carry out the transactions in this Purchase Agreement and (iii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Shares covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Investor to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Shares in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify or take any action to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise so subject. The Company shall (a) cause all such Registrable Shares to be listed on each national securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed; (b) provide a transfer agent and registrar for the Registrable Shares and a CUSIP number for all Registrable Shares, in each case no later than the effective date of the Registration Statement; (c) in connection with any underwritten offering, block trade, at the market offering or other similar offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwritten or other purchase or sales agreement, in usual and customary form, with the underwriter or the broker, placement agent or sales agent of such offering or sale; (d) make available to the Investor, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule then in effect); and (e) with respect to any underwritten offering, block trade, at the market offering or similar offering, use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the underwriter in such underwritten offering; and (f) otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Investor, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in connection with such registration.
(e)The Company shall advise Investor promptly and in any event within three (3) business days (at the Company’s expense): (i) when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has been filed and when it becomes effective; (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information; (iii) 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; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (v) 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
    22


therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (provided that any such notice shall solely provide that the use of the Registration Statement or prospectus has been suspended without setting forth the reason for such suspension). The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as practicable.
(f)For so long as the Company continues to hold Registrable Shares, the Company hereby agrees and covenants that it will not grant rights to register any Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) pursuant to the Securities Act that are more favorable, pari passu or senior to those granted to the Investor hereunder without (i) the prior written consent of the Investor or (ii) granting economically and legally equivalent rights to the Investor such that the Investor shall receive the benefit of such more favorable or senior terms and conditions; provided further that the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Investor, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder to include such securities in any registration unless, under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not reduce the number of Registrable Shares of Investor that are included.
(g)For the avoidance of doubt, this Purchase Agreement and the rights set forth under Sections 10, 11 and 12 shall control with respect to the Registrable Shares, including any future shares that the Investor or its affiliates may acquire as set forth in the definition of Registrable Shares. The Registration Rights Agreement, dated August 11, 2021 (the “2021 Registration Rights Agreement”), by and between the Company and the parties thereto, shall apply to any Shares held by the Investor prior to the date of this Purchase Agreement.
(h)The term “Registrable Shares” means (a) the Shares issued in the Initial Closing and the Additional Closing, (b) any outstanding shares of Common Stock or any other equity security (including warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock and shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of any other equity security) of the Company acquired by the Investor following the date hereof and (c) any other equity security of the Company or any of its subsidiaries issued or issuable with respect to any securities referenced in clause (a) or (b) above by way of a stock dividend or stock split or in connection with a recapitalization, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, spin-off, reorganization or similar restriction; provided, however, that a security shall cease to be a Registrable Share upon the earlier to occur of: (i) a Registration Statement registering such Registrable Shares under the Securities Act having been declared or becoming effective and such Registrable Shares having been sold or otherwise transferred by the Investor to and in a manner contemplated by such Registration Statement, (ii) such Registrable Shares being sold pursuant to Rule 144 under circumstances in which any legend borne by such security relating to restrictions on transferability thereof, under the Security Act or otherwise, is removed by the Company, (iii) such Registrable Shares cease to be outstanding following their issuance or (iv) the Registrable Shares are eligible to be sold without registration pursuant to Rule 144 or any successor rule promulgated under the Securities Act without any volume or other restrictions or limitations including as to manner or timing of sale; provided that any such security that ceases to be a Registrable Share under this clause (iv) will again be deemed a Registrable Shares if a subsequent decrease in trading volume results in the holder thereof not being able to sell such securities during such period without restriction as to volume or manner of sale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the SEC).
11.Piggy-Back Registration Rights
(a)If the Company proposes to conduct a registered offering under the Securities Act with respect to equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of stockholders of the Company, other than a registration statement (or any registered offering with respect thereto) (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company, or (iii) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed offering to Investor as soon as practicable but not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of the registration statement in connection therewith or in the case of an underwritten offering, block trade, at the market offering or other similar offering, the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such offering, which notice shall (a) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (b) offer to Investor the opportunity to include in
    23


such registered offering such number of Registrable Shares as Investor may request in writing within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice (such registered offering, a “Piggyback Registration”). The Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Shares to be included in such Piggyback Registration and, if applicable, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of such Piggyback Registration to permit the Registrable Shares requested by Investor pursuant to this Section 11(a) to be included therein on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such registered offering and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Shares in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The inclusion of any Registrable Shares in a Piggyback Registration shall be subject to Investor’s agreement to enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwritten public offering.
(b)If the managing underwriter or underwriters in an underwritten offering that is to be a Piggyback Registration, in good faith, advises the Company and Investor participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, as to which registration or a registered offering has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than Investor hereunder, (ii) the Registrable Shares as to which registration has been requested pursuant to Section 11 hereof, and (iii) the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, as to which registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of persons or entities other than Investor, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:
(i)If the registration or registered offering is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such registration or registered offering (a) first, the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (b) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (a), the Registrable Shares of the Investor and the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, as to which registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to the 2021 Registration Rights Agreement, pro rata, based on the respective number of Registrable Shares and shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Investor and each other person or entity has requested be included in such underwritten offering and the aggregate number of securities that all such parties have requested to be included in such underwritten offering, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (c) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, as to which registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of persons or entities other than Investor, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and
(ii)If the registered offering is pursuant to a demand by persons or entities other than Investor, then the Company shall include in any such registration or registered offering (a) first, the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than Investor, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (b) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (a), the Registrable Shares of Investor that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (c) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (d) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (a), (b) and (c), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, as to which registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of persons or entities other than Investor, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the number of Registrable Shares included in the registered offering be reduced unless all other securities are also reduced proportionately in the offering.
    24


(c)Investor shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the underwriter or underwriters (if any) of its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the SEC with respect to such Piggyback Registration or, in the case of a Piggyback Registration pursuant to a shelf registration, the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect to such Piggyback Registration used for marketing such transaction. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons or entities pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the SEC in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Purchase Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this Section 11(c).
12.Registration Indemnification
(a)If any Registrable Shares are included in a Registration Statement under Section 10 or Section 11:
(i)The Company agrees to indemnify and reimburse and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, Investor and officers, directors, agents, legal counsel and accountants for Investor and each person or entity who controls the Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in or incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement, a Shelf Takedown or Piggy-Back Registration or 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or any other violation or breach of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any state securities (“Damages”) by the Company or any other person acting on its behalf, and shall reimburse Investor for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 11(d)(i) shall not apply to amounts paid in any settlement of any claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of Investor expressly for use in the Registration Statement. The Company shall indemnify the underwriters, and any brokers, sales agents or placement agents executing sales or distributions of Registrable Shares, and their officers and directors and each person or entity who controls such underwriters, brokers, sales agents or placement agents (within the meaning of the Securities Act), to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Investor.
(ii)Investor agrees to indemnify and reimburse and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the Company against all Damages, to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of Investor expressly for use in the Registration Statement, and Investor will pay to the Company any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 11(d) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and, provided further that, in no event shall the aggregate amounts payable by Investor by way of indemnity or contribution under Section 11(d) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by Investor (net of any underwriting discounts, selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Shares (collectively, “Selling Expenses”) paid by Investor).
(iii)Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 11(d) of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is
    25


to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 11(d), give the indemnifying party prompt written notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the applicable parties; provided, however, that 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). Notwithstanding the foregoing an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 11(d) solely to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 11(d). 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 settlement 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)To provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either: (a) any party otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 11(d) but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that this Section 11(d) provides for indemnification in such case; or (b) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any party hereto for which indemnification is provided under this Section 11(d), then, and in each such case, such parties will contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements, omissions, or other actions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense, as well as to reflect any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact, relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission) the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case (x) Investor shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the aggregate public offering price of all such Registrable Shares offered and sold by Investor pursuant to such Registration Statement, and (y) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event shall Investor’s liability pursuant to this Section 11(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by Investor pursuant to Section 11(d)(ii), exceed the proceeds from the offering received by Investor (net of any Selling Expenses paid by Investor). The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 11(d)(iv) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 11(d)(iv).
    26


(v)Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with an underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.
(vi)Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering, the obligations of the Company and Investor under Sections 10, 11 and 12 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Shares in a registration under Sections 10 and 11, and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Purchase Agreement or the transfer of the Shares.
13.Miscellaneous.
(a)The rights and obligations of the Company and the Investor under this Purchase Agreement will bind and benefit their respective successors and assigns. Without the prior written consent of the other party to this Purchase Agreement, no party to this Purchase Agreement may assign this Purchase Agreement or any rights that may accrue under this Purchase Agreement, nor may any party to this Purchase Agreement delegate any of its obligations under this Purchase Agreement; provided, that, without the consent of Joby, Investor may assign this Purchase Agreement or any rights that may accrue under this Purchase Agreement to (i) any wholly-owned affiliate of the Investor or (ii) a successor in interest of Investor; provided further, that following such transfer, the transferee shall be deemed an “Investor” for all purposes of this Purchase Agreement including all rights and obligations associated therewith.
(b)Joby may request from the Investor such additional information as Joby may deem reasonably necessary to evaluate the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Shares and the eligibility of the offering for an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, and the Investor shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested, to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with its internal policies and procedures, provided, that Joby agrees to keep any such information provided by Investor confidential, except as may be required by applicable law, rule, regulation or in connection with any legal proceeding or regulatory request (provided that if required by applicable law, rule, regulation or in connection with any legal proceeding or regulatory request, Joby shall (x) promptly notify the Investor in writing of any such required disclosure so that the Investor may seek a protective order or other remedy with respect to such disclosure and (y) not oppose any such action by the Investor). The Investor acknowledges that Joby may file a copy of this Purchase Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to a current or periodic report or a registration statement of Joby.
(c)The Investor acknowledges that Joby will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Purchase Agreement. Joby acknowledges that the Investor will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of Joby contained in this Purchase Agreement.
(d)Joby and the Investor are each entitled to rely upon this Purchase Agreement, and each is irrevocably authorized to produce this Purchase Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.
(e)This Purchase Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated 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 hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.
(f)This Purchase Agreement (including Schedule A hereto) and the agreements contemplated hereby constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter of said agreements, and said agreements supersede all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter thereof. This Purchase Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successor and permitted assigns.
    27


(g)Except as otherwise provided herein, this Purchase 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, surviving 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.
(h)If any provision of this Purchase Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Purchase Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect, provided that each party hereto intends that such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision will be construed (or otherwise reformed) by modifying or limiting it so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with, and possible under, applicable law.
(i)This Purchase 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.

(j)The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Purchase 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 Purchase Agreement, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Purchase 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Purchase Agreement, in the event of any breach or other dispute arising out of or under this Purchase Agreement, the substantially prevailing party in any legal action, suit, arbitration, mediation or other proceeding based upon this Purchase Agreement shall be entitled to recover from the substantially non-prevailing party its reasonable fees and costs of legal counsel and other advisors, in addition to any other damages and other relief permitted or awarded under applicable law.
(k)The provisions of Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18 and 19 shall survive the Initial Closing and Additional Closing.

THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER STATE.
(m)EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY 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 PURCHASE AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of this Purchase Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the Company (a) shall not increase the par value of any Shares issued to Investor pursuant to this Purchase Agreement above the per share purchase price set forth herein, and (b) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Shares.
15.Non-Reliance and Exculpation.

    29


releases or other public communications or reports or other documents filed or furnished with the SEC relating to the transactions contemplated hereby between Joby and the Investor, including in connection with the Initial Closing and the Additional Closing, and the method of the release for publication thereof, shall be subject to the prior approval of both (i) Joby, and (ii) the Investor (which approval, in either case, will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided for the avoidance of doubt that this sentence shall not be applicable to any filings by the Investor with the SEC under Section 16 or Schedule 13. Except as expressly permitted in this Purchase Agreement, neither Joby nor the Investor shall use the others’ trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, domain names, or other indicia of source, association, or sponsorship, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Joby or the Investor, as applicable and shall not release any press release or other announcement relating to this Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents without the prior review and express approval of Joby or the Investor, as applicable, as to its form, content and timing.
