Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Reorganization

On November 30, 2020, Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “NGA”), The Lion Electric Company, a corporation existing under the Business Corporations Act (Québec) (“Lion Electric”), and Lion Electric Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Lion Electric (“Merger Sub”), entered into a business combination agreement and plan of reorganization (the “Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger,” together with the other transactions related thereto, the “Proposed Transactions”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Lion Electric (the “Surviving Corporation”).

Conversion of Securities

Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), Lion Electric will implement a reorganization (the “Lion Electric Pre-Closing Reorganization”), which will include a split of the common shares of Lion Electric (the “Lion Electric Common Shares”) whereby each Lion Electric Common Share immediately prior to such share split will be converted into 4.1289 Lion Electric Common Shares immediately following such share split (the “Company Split Adjustment”) and the amendment and restatement, effective as of the Effective Time, of Lion Electric’s articles and bylaws.

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Lion Electric, Merger Sub or any of the holders of any of their securities:

● the common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation;

● each share of common stock of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Excluded Shares and Redemption Shares, each as defined below) will be converted into the right to receive from Lion Electric the number of fully-paid and nonassessable Lion Electric Common Shares (after giving effect to the Company Split Adjustment) equal to an exchange ratio (the “Exchange Ratio”), which will initially be one (1) but will be subject to customary adjustments pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or like changes occurring after the Company Split Adjustment (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”);

● all such shares of Company Common Stock, when so converted, will cease to be outstanding and will automatically be canceled and cease to exist, and each holder of a share of Company Common Stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares and Redemption Shares) will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration;

● the Surviving Corporation will issue to Lion Electric one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation for each share of Company Common Stock issued as Per Share Merger Consideration;

● all shares of Company Common Stock held by the Company as treasury shares immediately prior to the Effective Time and not held on behalf of third parties (collectively, “Excluded Shares”) will automatically be canceled and cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor;

● each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to which a Company stockholder has validly exercised its redemption rights under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (“Redemption Rights”) will be redeemed at the Effective Time (the “Redemption Shares”), will not be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, and will be converted into the right to receive from NGA, in cash, an amount per share calculated in accordance with such stockholder’s Redemption Rights (such amount, the “Redemption Payment”), and NGA or the Surviving Corporation will make such cash payments at or as promptly as practical after the Effective Time;

1 

● as of the Effective Time, all Redemption Shares will cease to be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist, and each holder of a Redemption Share (or related certificate or book-entry share) will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the cash payment in respect thereof from NGA or the Surviving Corporation referred to in the immediately preceding sentence;

● at the Effective Time and in accordance with Section 4.5 of the Warrant Agreement dated August 7, 2020, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Company Warrant Agreement”), each warrant to purchase Company Common Stock under the Company Warrant Agreement (“Company Warrant”), to the extent then outstanding and unexercised, will automatically, without any action on the part of its holder, be converted into a warrant to acquire a number of Lion Electric Common Shares at an adjusted exercise price per share, in each case, as determined in accordance with the following (each resulting warrant, an “Assumed Warrant”):

o each Assumed Warrant will be subject to the same terms and conditions (including exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Proposed Transactions;

o effective as of the Effective Time: (A) each Assumed Warrant will be exercisable solely for Lion Electric Common Shares; (B) the number of Lion Electric Common Shares subject to each Assumed Warrant will be equal to (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the applicable Company Warrant multiplied by (2) the Exchange Ratio; (C) the per share exercise price for the Lion Electric Common Shares issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Warrant will be equal to (x) the per share exercise price for the shares of Company Common Stock subject to the applicable Company Warrant, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and (D) if the aggregate number of Lion Electric Common Shares that a holder of any Assumed Warrants would be entitled to receive upon any exercise of any Assumed Warrants would otherwise include a fraction of a Lion Electric Common Share, then upon such exercise, the aggregate number of Lion Electric Common Shares to be issued to such holder as a result of the exercise of all such Assumed Warrants so exercised will be rounded up to the nearest whole number;

o Lion Electric will take all corporate action necessary to reserve for future issuance, and will maintain such reservation for so long as any of the Assumed Warrants remain outstanding, a sufficient number of Lion Electric Common Shares for delivery upon the exercise of such Assumed Warrants; and

o to the extent that any Company Common Stock and Company Warrants comprising a single unit of the Company (“Company Unit”) have not previously been detached, such detachment shall occur automatically, effective immediately prior to the conversions contemplated above, such that a holder of a Company Unit will be deemed to hold one share of Company Common Stock and one-half of one Company Warrant and such underlying constituent securities shall be converted as described above, provided that if upon detachment, a holder of Company Warrants would hold a fractional Company Warrant, then prior to such conversion the number of such Company Warrants will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

Stock Exchange Listing

Lion Electric will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Lion Electric Common Shares to be issued in connection with the Proposed Transactions to be approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange under the new ticker symbol “LEV” at the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”). Until the Closing, NGA will use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Company Units, Company Common Stock and Company Warrants listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

Nomination Rights Agreement

In connection with the Closing, Lion Electric, Power Energy Corporation (“PEC”) and 9368-2672 Québec Inc.

● By mutual written consent of the Company and Lion Electric;

● By the Company or Lion Electric, if (i) the Effective Time will not have occurred prior to the date that is 180 days after the date of the Business Combination Agreement (the “Outside Date”) (subject to extension for the duration of any increase in the HSR review period pursuant to a change in law), unless such party is in breach or violation of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation contained in the Business Combination Agreement and such breach or violation is the principal cause of the failure of a condition to the Merger on or prior to the Outside Date; (ii) any governmental order has become final and nonappealable and has the effect of making consummation of the Proposed Transactions illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Proposed Transactions, including the Merger; or (iii) any of the NGA Transaction Proposals fail to receive the requisite vote for approval at the meeting of the Company’s stockholders;

6 

● By Lion Electric, if there is a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, or if any such representation or warranty has become untrue, in either case such that the related condition to the Merger would not be satisfied (“Terminating Company Breach”); provided that Lion Electric has not waived such Terminating Company Breach and Lion Electric or Merger Sub are not then in material breach of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in the Business Combination Agreement; provided further that, if such Terminating Company Breach is curable by the Company, Lion Electric cannot terminate the Business Combination Agreement on the basis of the Terminating Company Breach for so long as the Company continues to diligently exercise its reasonable efforts to cure such breach, unless such breach is not cured within thirty days after notice of such breach is provided by Lion Electric to the Company.

Effect of Termination

If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated, the Business Combination Agreement will become void and there will be no liability under the Business Combination Agreement on the part of any party, except in the case of fraud or a willful material breach of the Business Combination Agreement prior to such termination.

A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Business Combination Agreement filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Business Combination Agreement is included to provide security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, Lion Electric or Merger Sub. In particular, the assertions embodied in representations and warranties by the Company, Lion Electric and Merger Sub contained in the Business Combination Agreement are qualified by information in the disclosure schedules provided by the parties in connection with the signing of the Business Combination Agreement. These disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties, rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, security holders should not rely on the representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement as characterizations of the actual state of facts about the Company, Lion Electric or Merger Sub.

Stockholder Support and Lock-Up Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination Agreement, the Company, Lion Electric, and Northern Genesis Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) entered into the Stockholder Support and Lock-Up Agreement (the “Stockholder Support Agreement”) pursuant to which Sponsor agreed to vote all of its shares of Company Common Stock in favor of the approval and adoption of the Proposed Transactions. Additionally, Sponsor agreed, among other things, not to (a) transfer any of its shares of Company Common Stock or Company Warrants, or any Lion Electric Common Shares or Assumed Warrants acquired in exchange therefor pursuant to the Proposed Transactions, for certain periods of time as set forth in the Stockholder Support Agreement, subject to certain customary exceptions or (b) enter into any voting arrangement that is inconsistent with the commitment under the Stockholder Support Agreement to vote in favor of the approval and adoption of the Proposed Transactions.

The foregoing description of the Stockholder Support Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Stockholder Support Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.

Subscription Agreements

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, on November 30, 2020, the Company and Lion Electric entered into separate subscription agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) with a number of investors (the “Subscribers”), pursuant to which the Subscribers agreed to purchase, and Lion Electric agreed to sell to the Subscribers, an aggregate of 20,000,000 Lion Electric Common Shares (the “PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $200,000,000, in a private placement (the “PIPE”).

The closing of the sale of the PIPE Shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreements is contingent upon, among other customary closing conditions, the concurrent consummation of the Proposed Transactions. The purpose of the PIPE is to raise additional capital for use by Lion Electric following the Closing.

7 

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, Lion Electric agreed that, within 15 business days after the consummation of the Proposed Transactions, Lion Electric will file with the SEC (at Lion Electric’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the PIPE Shares (the “PIPE Resale Registration Statement”), and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the PIPE Resale Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the SEC notifies Lion Electric that it will “review” the PIPE Resale Registration Statement) following the Closing and (ii) the 10th business day after the date Lion Electric is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the PIPE Resale Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review.

The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of the Subscription Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.

Important Information and Where to Find It

No offer of securities, other than with respect to the PIPE, shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act.

Forward-Looking Statements

All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K constitute “forward-looking statements” (which shall include forward-looking information within the meaning of Canadian securities laws) within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act. Forward-looking statements may generally be identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “plan,” “project,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “target” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the transaction, including with respect to timing and closing thereof, the ability to consummate the transaction, the benefits of the transaction, the ability to satisfy the Cash Condition, the completion of the PIPE, estimates and forecasts of financial and other performance metrics, visibility on potential orders and business relationships, sufficiency and use of funds following completion of the proposed transaction, as well as the combined company’s strategy, future operations, estimated financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and on the current expectations of Lion Electric’s and the Company’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of assisting readers in understanding certain key elements of the Lion Electric’s current objectives, goals, targets, strategic priorities, expectations and plans, and in obtaining a better understanding of the Lion Electric’s business and anticipated operating environment. Readers are cautioned that such information may not be appropriate for other purposes and is not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability.

Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Lion Electric and the Company, and are based on a number of assumptions, as well as other factors that Lion Electric and the Company believe are appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances, but there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will prove to be correct or that the Lion Electric’s vision, business, objectives, plans and strategies will be achieved. Many risks and uncertainties could cause Lion Electric’s actual results, performance or achievements or future events or developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including any adverse changes in the U.S. and Canadian general economic, business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; Lion Electric’s inability to successfully and economically manufacture and distribute its vehicles at scale and meet its customers’ business needs; Lion Electric’s inability to execute its growth strategy; Lion Electric’s inability to maintain its competitive position; Lion Electric’s inability to reduce its costs of supply overtime; any inability to maintain and enhance Lion Electric’s reputation and brand; any significant product repair and/or replacement due to product warranty claims or product recalls; any failure of information technology systems or any cybersecurity and data privacy breaches or incidents; natural disasters, epidemic or pandemic outbreaks, boycotts and geo-political events; the risk that a condition to closing of the transaction (including the obtention of the Company’s stockholders approval) may not be satisfied; the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction; the amount of redemption requests made by the Company’s public stockholders; the risk that the proposed transaction disrupts Lion Electric’s or the Company’s current plans and operations as a result of the announcement of the transaction; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Lion Electric or the Company following announcement of the transaction; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed transaction; and those factors discussed in the Company’s IPO Prospectus, and any subsequently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10 Q, in each case, under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents of the Company filed, or to be filed, with the SEC, as well as any documents to be filed by Lion Electric in accordance with applicable securities laws. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the factors that could affect Lion Electric, and there may be additional risks that neither the Company nor Lion Electric presently know or that the Company and Lion Electric currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s and Lion Electric’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company and Lion Electric anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause the Company’s and Lion Electric’s assessments to change. However, while the Company and Lion Electric may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company and Lion Electric have no intention and undertake no obligation to do so except as required by applicable law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s and Lion Electric’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

(vi)Each share of NGA Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to which a NGA stockholder has validly exercised its Redemption Rights, and that shall be redeemed at the Effective Time (the “Redemption Shares”), shall not be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration and shall be converted into the right to receive from NGA, in cash, an amount per share calculated in accordance with such stockholder’s Redemption Rights (such amount, the “Redemption Payment”). At or as promptly as practical after the Effective Time, NGA shall make such cash payments in respect of each such Redemption Share. As of the Effective Time, all such Redemption Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a Redemption Share (or related certificate or book-entry share) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the cash payments from NGA referred to in the immediately preceding sentence.

(vii)At the Effective Time and in accordance with Section 4.5 of the NGA Warrant Agreement, the Company shall assume the NGA Warrant Agreement and enter into such amendments thereto as are necessary to give effect to the provisions of this Section 3.01(b)(vii), and each NGA Warrant then outstanding and unexercised (including any NGA Working Capital Warrant issued pursuant to the NGA Working Capital Warrant Purchase Agreement) shall automatically without any action on the part of its holder, be converted into a warrant to acquire a number of Company Common Shares at an adjusted exercise price per share, in each case, as determined under this Section 3.01(b)(vii) (each resulting warrant, an “Assumed Warrant”). Each Assumed Warrant shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding NGA Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Transactions. Accordingly, effective as of the Effective Time: (A) each Assumed Warrant shall be exercisable solely for Company Common Shares; (B) the number of Company Common Shares subject to each Assumed Warrant shall be equal to (x) the number of shares of NGA Common Stock subject to the applicable NGA Warrant multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio; and (C) the per share exercise price for the Company Common Shares issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Warrant shall be equal to (x) the per share exercise price for the shares of NGA Common Stock subject to the applicable NGA Warrant, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and (D) no fraction of a Company Common Share will be issued upon any exercise of any Assumed Warrants and, if the aggregate number of Company Common Shares that a holder of any Assumed Warrants would be entitled to receive upon any exercise of any Assumed Warrants would otherwise include a fraction of a Company Common Share, the Company shall, upon such exercise, round up to the nearest whole number the aggregate number of Company Common Shares to be issued to such holder as a result of the exercise of all such Assumed Warrants so exercised. The Company shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for future issuance, and shall maintain such reservation for so long as any of the Assumed Warrants remain outstanding, a sufficient number of shares of Company Common Shares for delivery upon the exercise of such Assumed Warrants.

19

(viii) In the event that the NGA Common Stock and NGA Warrants comprising a single NGA Unit have not been detached so as to permit separate transferability or trading thereof prior to the Effective Time, then effective immediately prior to the conversions contemplated by this Section 3.01(b), any and all NGA Units shall be automatically detached and broken out into their constituent parts, such that a holder of one NGA Unit shall thereupon hold one share of NGA Common Stock and one-half of one NGA Warrant, and such underlying constituent securities shall be converted in accordance with Sections 3.01(b)(i) and (vii), respectively; provided, however, that if upon such detachment, a holder of NGA Warrants would be deemed to hold a fractional NGA Warrant, then prior to such conversion the number of NGA Warrants deemed to be held by such holder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

3.02Exchange.

(a)Exchange Agent. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company designated by the Company and reasonably satisfactory to NGA (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of NGA Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article III, the number of Company Common Shares sufficient to deliver the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement (such Company Common Shares being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). The Company shall cause the Exchange Agent, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, to pay the Per Share Merger Consideration out of the Exchange Fund in accordance with this Agreement. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b)No Further Rights in NGA Common Stock. The Per Share Merger Consideration payable upon conversion of NGA Common Stock shall be deemed to have been paid and issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such NGA Common Stock.

(c)Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of NGA Common Stock for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Company, upon demand, and any holders of NGA Common Stock who have not complied with this Section 3.02 shall thereafter look only to the Company for the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of NGA Common Stock as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any government entity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Company free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(d)No Liability. None of the Exchange Agent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of NGA Stock for any Company Common Shares (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law in accordance with this Section 3.02.

(e)Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Merger Sub, NGA and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts (including shares, warrants, options or other property) otherwise payable, issuable or transferable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of NGA Common Stock or NGA Warrants, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment, issuance or transfer under the Code or any provision of state, provincial, local or non-U.S. Tax Law; provided, however, that prior to such deduction or withholding, it shall use reasonable best efforts to give the applicable holder written notice to permit such holder to determine and demonstrate that such deduction or withholding is not required. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and timely paid to the applicable Governmental Authority, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid, issued or transferred to the holder of the NGA Common Stock or NGA Warrants in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

20

(f)Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip or shares representing fractional Company Common Shares shall be issued upon the exchange of NGA Common Stock and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to have any rights of a shareholder of the Company or a holder of Company Common Shares. In lieu of any fractional Company Common Share to which any holder of NGA Common Stock would otherwise be entitled, the Exchange Agent shall round up or down to the nearest whole Company Common Share, with a fraction of 0.5 rounded up. No cash settlements shall be made with respect to fractional shares eliminated by rounding.

3.03Closing Statement; Payment of NGA Costs.

(a)No later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing and in any event not earlier than the time that holders of NGA Common Stock may no longer elect redemption in accordance with the Redemption Rights, NGA shall prepare and deliver to the Company a statement (the “NGA Closing Statement”) setting forth NGA’s good faith estimate of: (i) the amount of NGA Cash; (ii) the aggregate amount of cash proceeds that will be required to satisfy any owed Redemption Payments; (iii) the amount of estimated NGA Costs remaining unpaid as of the Closing and all relevant supporting documentation used by NGA in calculating such amounts reasonably requested by the Company; and (iv) the number of shares of NGA Common Stock to be outstanding as of the Closing less any Redemption Shares. The NGA Closing Statement and each component thereof shall be prepared and calculated in accordance with the definitions contained in this Agreement. From and after delivery of the NGA Closing Statement until the Closing, NGA shall (x) use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with and provide the Company and its Representatives all information reasonably requested by the Company or any of its Representatives and within NGA’s or its Representatives’ possession or control in connection with the Company’s review of the NGA Closing Statement and (y) consider in good faith any comments to the NGA Closing Statement provided by the Company, which comments the Company shall deliver to NGA no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, and NGA shall revise such NGA Closing Statement to incorporate any changes NGA determines are reasonably necessary or appropriate given such comments.

(b)Conditional upon the Closing, and to the extent so provided in the NGA Closing Statement (as such NGA Closing Statement may be revised in accordance with Section 3.03(a)), the Company shall pay or cause to be paid all outstanding NGA Costs, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified therefor by the applicable third parties to which such NGA Costs are owing.

21

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation shall be responsible for any and all obligations and liabilities of NGA, including NGA Costs, remaining unpaid or unsatisfied upon and following the Closing.

3.04Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of NGA shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of NGA Stock thereafter on the records of NGA.

3.05No Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights. No dissenters’ or appraisal rights shall be available with respect to the Transactions.

4.10Employee Benefit Plans.

(a)Section 4.10(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule lists, as of the date of this Agreement, all material Employee Benefit Plans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any offer letter, consulting agreement, equity award agreement or other agreement which does not materially deviate from the applicable standard Company form) that are maintained, contributed to, required to be contributed to, or sponsored by the Company or any Company Subsidiary for the benefit of any current or former employee, officer, director and/or individual consultant, or under which the Company or any Company Subsidiary has or could incur any liability (contingent or otherwise) (collectively, the “Plans”).

Representations and Warranties of NGA

Except as set forth in the NGA SEC Reports or NGA’s disclosure schedule delivered by NGA in connection with this Agreement (the “NGA Disclosure Schedule”) (to the extent the qualifying nature of such disclosure is readily apparent from the content of such NGA SEC Reports, but excluding disclosures referred to in “Forward-Looking Statements,” “Risk Factors” and any other disclosures therein to the extent they are of a predictive or cautionary nature or related to forward-looking statements) (it being acknowledged that nothing disclosed in such a NGA SEC Report will be deemed to modify or qualify the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.01 (Corporate Organization), Section 5.03 (Capitalization) and Section 5.04 (Authority Relative to This Agreement)), NGA hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

5.01Corporate Organization.

(a)NGA is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has the requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. NGA is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation or other organization to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except for such failures to be so qualified or licensed and in good standing that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a NGA Material Adverse Effect.

(b)NGA does not directly or indirectly own any equity or similar interest in, or any interest convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any equity or similar interest in, any corporation, partnership, joint venture or business association or other person.

5.02 Organizational Documents. NGA has heretofore furnished to the Company complete and correct copies of the NGA Organizational Documents as of the date hereof. The NGA Organizational Documents are in full force and effect. NGA is not in violation of any of the provisions of the NGA Organizational Documents.

42

5.03Capitalization.

(a)The authorized capital stock of NGA consists of (i) 50,000,000 shares of NGA Common Stock and (ii) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“NGA Preferred Stock”). As of the date of this Agreement (iii) 31,945,344 shares of NGA Common Stock (excluding NGA Founders Stock) are issued and outstanding, all of which are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to any preemptive rights, (iv) 7,986,336 shares of NGA Founders Stock are issued and outstanding, all of which are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to any preemptive rights, (v) no shares of NGA Common Stock is held in the treasury of NGA, (vi) 24,111,741 NGA Warrants are issued and outstanding. As of the date of this Agreement, there are no shares of NGA Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Each NGA Warrant is exercisable for one share of NGA Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to the terms of such NGA Warrant and the NGA Warrant Agreement.

(b)All outstanding NGA Units, shares of NGA Common Stock and NGA Warrants have been issued and granted in compliance in all material respects with all applicable securities laws and other applicable Laws.

(c)Except for the outstanding NGA Warrants, the NGA Working Capital Warrant Purchase Agreement and the NGA Working Capital Warrants that may be issued pursuant thereto, NGA has not issued any options, warrants, preemptive rights, calls, convertible securities or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character relating to the issued or unissued capital stock of NGA or obligating NGA to issue or sell any shares of capital stock of, or other equity interests in, NGA. All shares of NGA Common Stock subject to issuance as aforesaid, upon issuance on the terms and conditions specified in the instruments pursuant to which they are issuable, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Neither NGA nor any subsidiary of NGA is a party to, or otherwise bound by, and neither NGA nor any subsidiary of NGA has granted, any equity appreciation rights, participations, phantom equity or similar rights. NGA is not a party to any voting trusts, voting agreements, proxies, shareholder agreements or other agreements with respect to the voting or transfer of NGA Common Stock or any of the equity interests or other securities of NGA or any of its Subsidiaries. Except with respect to the Redemption Rights and the NGA Warrants, there are no outstanding contractual obligations of NGA to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of NGA Common Stock. There are no outstanding contractual obligations of NGA to make any investment (in the form of a loan, capital contribution or otherwise) in, any person.

5.04 Authority Relative to This Agreement. NGA has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by NGA and the consummation by NGA of the Transactions have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and no other corporate proceedings on the part of NGA are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the Transactions (other than (a) with respect to the Merger, the approval and adoption of this Agreement by the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of NGA Common Stock, and the filing and recordation of appropriate documents as required by the DGCL and the QBCA, and (b) with respect to the amendment and restatement of the NGA Certificate of Incorporation pursuant to this Agreement, the approval of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of NGA Common Stock). This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by NGA and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of NGA, enforceable against NGA in accordance with its terms subject to the Remedies Exceptions. The NGA Board has approved this Agreement and the Transactions, and such approvals are sufficient so that the restrictions on business combinations set forth in the NGA Certificate of Incorporation shall not apply to the Merger, this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any of the other Transactions.

43

5.06 Compliance. NGA is not and has not been in conflict with, or in default, breach or violation of, (a) any Law applicable to NGA or by which any property or asset of NGA is bound or affected, or (b) any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which NGA is a party or by which NGA or any property or asset of NGA is bound, except, in each case, for any such conflicts, defaults, breaches or violations that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a NGA Material Adverse Effect. NGA is in possession of all material franchises, grants, authorizations, licenses, permits, easements, variances, exceptions, consents, certificates, approvals and orders of any Governmental Authority necessary for NGA to own, lease and operate its properties or to carry on its business as it is now being conducted.

47

5.12NGA Trust Fund. As of the date of this Agreement, NGA has no less than $319,000,000 in the trust fund established by NGA for the benefit of its public stockholders (the “Trust Fund”) maintained in a trust account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Trust Account”), from which amount an aggregate of approximately $11,200,000 of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions will be payable upon the Closing of the Merger. The monies of such Trust Account are invested in United States Government securities or money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and held in trust by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”) pursuant to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of August 17, 2020, between NGA and the Trustee (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trust Agreement has not been amended or modified and is valid and in full force and effect and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the Remedies Exceptions. NGA has complied in all material respects with the terms of the Trust Agreement and is not in breach thereof or default thereunder and there does not exist any event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, would constitute such a breach or default by NGA or the Trustee. There are no separate contracts, agreements, side letters or other agreements or understandings (whether written or unwritten, express or implied): (i) between NGA and the Trustee that would cause the description of the Trust Agreement in the NGA SEC Reports to be inaccurate in any material respect; or (ii) to which NGA is a party that would entitle any person (other than holders of Redemption Shares) to any portion of the proceeds in the Trust Account (other than following release thereof to NGA, as assets of NGA available to satisfy its liabilities generally). Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the Trust Account may be released except to pay: (1) franchise Taxes and income Taxes from any interest income earned in the Trust Account; and (2) any owed Redemption Payments. To NGA’s knowledge, as of the date of this Agreement, following the Effective Time, no stockholder of NGA shall be entitled to receive any amount from the Trust Account except to the extent such stockholder is owed a Redemption Payment. There are no Actions pending or, to the knowledge of NGA, threatened in writing with respect to the Trust Account. As of the date hereof, and assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein and the compliance by the Company and Merger Sub of their respective obligations hereunder, NGA has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to the use of funds in the Trust Account will not be satisfied or that funds available in the Trust Account (other than such funds released in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement) will not be available to NGA at the Effective Time.

5.13Employees. Other than any officers as described in the NGA SEC Reports, NGA has no employees on its payroll, and has not retained any contractors, other than consultants and advisors in the ordinary course of business. Other than reimbursement of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by NGA’s officers and directors in connection with activities on NGA’s behalf in an aggregate amount not in excess of the amount of cash held by NGA outside of the Trust Account, NGA has no unsatisfied material liability with respect to any officer or director.

In addition, NGA represents that the information supplied by NGA for inclusion in the Canadian Prospectus shall not, at the date of the Canadian Prospectus, include any “misrepresentation” (as defined in Canadian Securities Laws).

7.03Merger Sub Consent. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall, as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, approve and adopt this Agreement and approve the Transactions.

7.04NGA Stockholders’ Meeting.

(a)NGA shall call and hold a meeting of NGA’s stockholders (including any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “NGA Stockholders’ Meeting”) as promptly as practicable after the date on which the Registration Statement becomes effective for the purpose of voting solely upon the (i) approval and adoption of this Agreement and the Merger, (ii) the approval of such amendments to NGA’s Organizational Document as may be necessary to permit the issuance of the NGA Working Capital Warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the terms of the NGA Working Capital Warrant Purchase Agreement, and (iii) such other approvals as may be mutually agreed by NGA and the Company as necessary or appropriate to authorize the Transactions and otherwise give effect to the terms of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), collectively, the “NGA Proposals”). NGA shall use its reasonable best efforts to hold the NGA Stockholders’ Meeting as soon as practicable after the date on which the Registration Statement becomes effective; provided, that NGA may (or, upon the receipt of a request to do so from the Company, shall) postpone or adjourn the NGA Stockholders’ Meeting on one or more occasions for up to thirty (30) days in the aggregate to the extent that such postponement or adjournment is reasonably necessary to solicit additional proxies to obtain approval of the NGA Proposals. NGA shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the approval of the NGA Proposals at the NGA Stockholders’ Meeting, including by soliciting from its stockholders proxies as promptly as possible in favor of the NGA Proposals, and shall take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the required vote or consent of its stockholders. The NGA Board shall recommend to its stockholders that they approve the NGA Proposals

58

(b) (the “NGA Recommendation”) and shall include the NGA Recommendation in the Proxy Statement. Neither the NGA Board nor any committee thereof shall: (i) withdraw, modify, amend or qualify (or propose to withdraw, modify, amend or qualify publicly) the NGA Recommendation, or fail to include the NGA Recommendation in the Proxy Statement; or (ii) approve, recommend or declare advisable (or publicly propose to do so) any NGA Alternative Transaction (any action described in clauses (i) through (ii) being referred to as a “NGA Change in Recommendation”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the NGA Board, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, determines in good faith that failure to effect a NGA Change in Recommendation would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of NGA under applicable Law, then the NGA Board may effect a NGA Change in Recommendation so long as NGA (to the extent lawful and reasonably practicable) first provides the Company with at least five (5) Business Days advance written notice of such withdrawal or modification, and during such five (5) Business Day period, and prior to effecting any NGA Change in Recommendation, NGA and its Representatives must negotiate with the Company and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent that the Company desires to so negotiate) to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the NGA Board (or a committee thereof) would no longer determine that the failure to make a NGA Change in Recommendation would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of NGA under applicable Law.

(c)Notwithstanding (i) any NGA Change in Recommendation, (ii) the making of any inquiry or proposal with respect to a NGA Alternative Transaction or (iii) anything to the contrary contained herein, unless this Agreement has been earlier validly terminated in accordance with Section 9.01, (A) in no event shall NGA execute or enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, term sheet, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other written arrangement relating to any NGA Alternative Transaction or terminate this Agreement in connection therewith and (B) NGA shall otherwise remain subject to the terms of this Agreement, including NGA’s obligation to use reasonable best efforts to obtain the approval of the NGA Proposals at the NGA Stockholders’ Meeting in accordance with Section 7.04(a).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor NGA shall be required to provide access to or disclose information where the access or disclosure would likely result in the breach of any contract, jeopardize the protection of attorney-client privilege or contravene applicable Law (it being agreed that the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause such information to be provided in a manner that would not result in such jeopardy or contravention).

59

(b)All information obtained by the parties pursuant to this Section 7.05 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the confidentiality agreement, dated August 19, 2020 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), between NGA and the Company.

7.06Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification.

(a)The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, exculpation, advancement or expense reimbursement than are set forth in the charter or bylaws of NGA, which provisions shall not thereafter be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of NGA, unless such modification shall be required by applicable Law. The Surviving Corporation shall, and the Company shall cause the Surviving Company to, indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of NGA against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent that NGA would have been permitted under applicable Law, the NGA Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of NGA, or any indemnification agreement in effect on the date of this Agreement to indemnify or exculpate such person (including the advancing of expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law).

(b)For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, the Company shall cause to be maintained in effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) covering those persons who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, are covered by NGA’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in effect as of the date hereof (true, correct and complete copies of which have been heretofore made available to the Company or its agents or Representatives) (the “NGA D&O Insurance”) on terms not less favorable than the terms of such NGA D&O Insurance coverage, and from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the current NGA D&O Insurance carrier, except that in no event shall the Company be required to pay an annual premium for such insurance in excess of 300% of the aggregate annual premium payable by NGA for such insurance policy for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Maximum Annual Premium”). If the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed the Maximum Annual Premium, then the Company shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Annual Premium from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the current NGA D&O Insurance carrier.

(c)Prior to the Effective Time, NGA may purchase a prepaid “tail” policy with respect to D&O Insurance from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the current NGA D&O Insurance carrier so long as the aggregate cost for such “tail” policy does not exceed the Maximum Annual Premium. If NGA elects to purchase such a “tail” policy prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect for a period of no less than six (6) years after the Effective Time and continue to honor its obligations thereunder but it shall not be otherwise required under Section 7.06(b) to cause to be maintained in effect the D&O Insurance.

(d)With respect to any claims that may be made under the D&O Insurance or any applicable “tail” policies, (i) prior to the Effective Time, NGA and the Company shall cooperate with the other party as reasonably requested by such other Party, and (ii) after the Effective Time, the Company shall cooperate with any person insured by such policies as reasonably requested by such person.

(e)On the Closing Date, the Company shall (i) enter into customary indemnification agreements reasonably satisfactory to each of the Company and NGA with the post-Closing directors and officers of the Company, and (ii) shall assume all rights and obligations of NGA under all indemnification agreements then in effect between NGA and any person who is or was a director or officer of NGA prior to the Effective Time (the “NGA Indemnification Agreements”), which indemnification agreements shall continue to be effective following the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification agreements with the pre-Closing directors and officers of the Company shall continue to be effective following the Closing, and the Company shall continue to honor its obligations thereunder.

(f)For the avoidance of doubt, the rights under this Section 7.06 of any person who was a director or officer of NGA prior to the Effective Time shall be in addition to, and not exclusive of, any additional rights that any such person may have under applicable Law or otherwise, including (as applicable) as an officer or director of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of the other Company Subsidiaries following the Effective Time.

7.07Pre-Closing Reorganization. The Company shall reasonably consult with NGA and its advisors concerning the Pre-Closing Reorganization, other than implementation of those terms thereof expressly agreed by the parties pursuant to this Agreement and identified in Section 1.01 of the Company Disclosure Schedule. The Company shall cause the Pre-Closing Reorganization to be implemented prior to or concurrently with the Closing and shall deliver to NGA copies of all documents effectuating and evidencing the same.

61

7.08 Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt notice to NGA, and NGA shall give prompt notice to the Company, of any event of which such party becomes aware between the date of this Agreement and the Closing (or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX), the occurrence, or non-occurrence of which causes or would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII to not be satisfied at Closing. An unintentional failure to give notice under this Section 7.08 shall not be deemed to be a breach of covenant under this Section 7.08 and shall constitute only a breach of the underlying representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or condition, as the case may be.

7.09Further Action; Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a)Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, appropriate action, and to do, or cause to be done, such things as are necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws or otherwise, and each shall cooperate with the other, to consummate and make effective the Transactions, including using its reasonable best efforts to obtain all permits, consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders of, and the expiration or termination of waiting periods by, Governmental Authorities and parties to contracts with the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as set forth in Section 4.05 necessary for the consummation of the Transactions and to fulfill the conditions to the Merger. In case, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the proper officers and directors of each party shall use their reasonable best efforts to take all such action.

(b)Each of the parties shall keep each other apprised of the status of matters relating to the Transactions, including promptly notifying the other parties of any communication it or any of its affiliates receives from any Governmental Authority relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement and permitting the other parties to review in advance, and to the extent practicable consult about, any proposed communication by such party to any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions. No party to this Agreement shall agree to participate in any meeting, or video or telephone conference, with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other parties in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other parties the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting or conference. Subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the parties will coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other parties may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing. Subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the parties will provide each other with copies of all material correspondence, filings or communications, including any documents, information and data contained therewith, between them or any of their Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions. No party shall take or cause to be taken any action before any Governmental Authority that is inconsistent with or intended to delay its action on requests for a consent or the consummation of the Transactions.

62

(c)Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to (i) consummate the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements on the terms and conditions described therein, including maintaining in effect the Subscription Agreements and enforcing the terms thereof, (ii) satisfy in all material respects on a timely basis all conditions and covenants applicable to it in the Subscription Agreements and otherwise comply with its obligations thereunder, (iii) in the event that all conditions in the Subscription Agreements (other than conditions that NGA or the Company or any of their respective affiliates control the satisfaction of and other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied, consummate the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements at or prior to Closing; (iv) confer with the other party regarding timing of the Closing (as defined in the Subscription Agreements); and (v) deliver notices to counterparties to the Subscription Agreements sufficiently in advance of the Closing to cause them to fund their obligations as far in advance of the Closing as permitted by the Subscription Agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party shall give the other party prompt written notice: (A) of any breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could give rise to any breach or default) by any party to any Subscription Agreement known by the notifying party; and (B) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any third party to any Subscription Agreement with respect to any actual, potential, threatened or claimed expiration, lapse, withdrawal, breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Subscription Agreement or any provisions of any Subscription Agreement.

7.10Public Announcements. The initial press release relating to this Agreement shall be a joint press release the text of which has been agreed to by each of NGA and the Company. Thereafter, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date (or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX) unless otherwise prohibited by applicable Law or the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange, each of NGA and the Company shall each use its reasonable best efforts to consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements (including through social media platforms) with respect to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other Transactions, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement (including through social media platforms) without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that no such consent shall be required in connection with any such press release or public announcement in connection with any dispute between the parties regarding this Agreement or the Transactions or to the extent any such press release or public announcement is substantively consistent with public statements set forth in the initial press release or previously consented to by the other party in accordance with this Section 7.10. Furthermore, nothing contained in this Section 7.10 shall prevent NGA or the Company and/or their respective affiliates from furnishing customary or other reasonable information concerning the Transactions to their customers, suppliers, employees, investors and prospective investors that is substantively consistent with public statements set forth in the initial press release or previously consented to by the other party in accordance with this Section 7.10.

7.11Stock Exchange Listing. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Company Common Shares issued in connection with the Transactions to be approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange at Closing. During the period from the date hereof until the Closing, NGA shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the NGA Units, NGA Common Stock and NGA Warrants listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

63

7.12Antitrust.

(a) To the extent required under any Laws that are designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade, including the HSR Act (collectively, the “Antitrust Laws”), each party shall promptly make any required filing or application under Antitrust Laws, as applicable, and with respect to the HSR Act, make any required filings no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement. The parties shall supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to Antitrust Laws and shall use reasonable best efforts to take all other actions necessary, proper or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods or obtain required approvals, as applicable under Antitrust Laws, including by requesting early termination of the waiting period provided for under the HSR Act.

(b)NGA and the Company each shall, in connection with its efforts to obtain all requisite approvals and expiration or termination of waiting periods for the Transactions under any Antitrust Law, use its reasonable best efforts to: (i) cooperate in all respects with each other party or its affiliates in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by a private person; (ii) keep the other reasonably informed of any communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, any Governmental Authority and of any communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private person, in each case regarding any of the Transactions, and promptly furnish the other with copies of all such written communications (with the exception of the filings, if any, submitted under the HSR Act); (iii) permit the other to review in advance any written communication to be given by it to, and consult with each other in advance of any meeting or video or telephonic conference with, any Governmental Authority or, in connection with any proceeding by a private person, with any other person, and to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority or other person, give the other the opportunity to attend and participate in such in person, video or telephonic meetings and conferences; (iv) in the event a party is prohibited from participating in or attending any in person, video or telephonic meetings or conferences, the other shall keep such party promptly and reasonably apprised with respect thereto; and (v) use reasonable best efforts to cooperate in the filing of any memoranda, white papers, filings, correspondence or other written communications explaining or defending the Transactions, articulating any regulatory or competitive argument, and/or responding to requests or objections made by any Governmental Authority; provided, that materials required to be provided pursuant to this Section 7.12(b) may be restricted to outside counsel and may be redacted to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company, and as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements.

(c)No party shall take any action that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect or materially delay the approval of any Governmental Authority, or the expiration or termination of any waiting period under Antitrust Laws, including by agreeing to merge with or acquire any other person or acquire a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in any other person. The parties shall use reasonable best efforts to prevent or lift the entry, enactment or promulgation of a threatened or pending preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree or ruling or statute, rule, regulation or executive order that would adversely affect the ability of the parties to consummate the Transactions.

64

7.13 Trust Account. As of the Effective Time, the obligations of NGA to dissolve or liquidate within a specified time period as contained in the NGA Certificate of Incorporation will be terminated and NGA shall have no obligation whatsoever to dissolve and liquidate the assets of NGA by reason of the consummation of the Merger or otherwise, and no stockholder of NGA shall be entitled to receive any amount from the Trust Account. At least 48 hours prior to the Effective Time, NGA shall provide notice to the Trustee in accordance with the Trust Agreement and shall deliver any other documents, opinions or notices required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement and cause the Trustee prior to the Effective Time to, and the Trustee shall, transfer all funds held in the Trust Account to NGA (to be held as available cash for immediate use on the balance sheet of NGA, and to be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the business following the Closing) and thereafter shall cause the Trust Account and the Trust Agreement to terminate.

7.14Tax Matters. This Agreement is intended to constitute, and the parties hereby adopt this Agreement as, a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a). Each of NGA, Merger Sub and the Company shall use its respective reasonable best efforts to (a) cause the Merger to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, (b) not (and not permit or cause any of its respective Subsidiaries or Representatives to) take any action that to its knowledge would prevent the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and (c) report the Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, including attaching the statement described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3(a) on or with its Tax Return for the taxable year that includes the Merger, unless otherwise required pursuant to applicable Law or a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise required pursuant to this Agreement, no party (or its respective Subsidiaries and owners) shall be required to satisfy its obligations pursuant to this Section 7.14 by foregoing, reducing, or adversely modifying the amount, rights or nature of any shares, warrants, options or other property such party (or its respective Subsidiaries or owners) is entitled to retain or receive pursuant to this Agreement (including indirectly by agreeing to grant, increase, or modify the amount, rights or nature of any shares, warrants, options or other property to which another party (or its respective Subsidiaries or owners) is entitled to retain or receive pursuant to this Agreement) without reasonable compensation therefor.

(f)by the Company upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of NGA set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of NGA shall have become untrue, in either case such that the condition set forth in Sections 8.03(a) or 8.03(b) would not be satisfied (“Terminating NGA Breach”); provided, that the Company has not waived such Terminating NGA Breach and the Company or Merger Sub are not then in breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement such that the condition set forth in Sections 8.02(a) or 8.02(b) would not be satisfied; provided, further, that, if such Terminating NGA Breach is curable by NGA, the Company may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(f) for so long as NGA continues to diligently exercise its reasonable efforts to cure such breach, unless such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice of such breach is provided by the Company to NGA.

10.10Specific Performance.

(a)The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof, and, accordingly, that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof (including the parties’ obligation to consummate the Merger) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, County of Newcastle, or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, any court of the United States located in the State of Delaware without proof of actual damages or otherwise, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity as expressly permitted in this Agreement. Each of the parties further waives (i) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at Law would be adequate and (ii) any requirement under any Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if prior to the Outside Date any party initiates an Action to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, then the Outside Date will be automatically extended by: (i) the amount of time during which such Action is pending plus twenty (20) Business Days; or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such Action.

10.11No Recourse. All claims, obligations, liabilities, or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in Law or in equity or otherwise, or granted by statute or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil or any other theory or doctrine, including alter ego or otherwise) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or the negotiation, execution, or performance or non-performance of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents), may be made only against (and such representations and warranties are those solely of) the persons that are expressly identified as parties to this Agreement or the applicable Transaction Document (the “Contracting Parties”) except as set forth in this Section 10.11.

In the event that a Principal Shareholder ceases to have the right to designate a Nominee pursuant to the terms of Section 3.1.2, such Principal Shareholder shall concurrently therewith, if requested by the Board, use its reasonable efforts to promptly obtain and deliver to the Company the written resignation of any Director previously designated by it pursuant to the terms of Section 3.1.2 such that the number of Directors nominated by such Principal Shareholder and then serving on the Board does not exceed the number of Nominees that such Principal Shareholder would then have the right to designate pursuant to the terms of Section 3.1.2.

The Chairman of the Board shall not be a past or present CEO of the Company.

- 6 -

Section 3.1.11. Non-Assignability or Transfer of Rights. None of the rights or obligations of any Shareholder Group under this Agreement shall be assignable or transferable to any Person, provided however that each Principal Shareholder may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another member of its Shareholder Group together with a transfer of Common Shares to such member, provided that such assignee (if not already a party hereto) executes a joinder to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the transfer by a Principal Shareholder to another member of its Shareholder Group shall not relieve any member of such Shareholder Group from its obligations hereunder.

Section 3.1.12. Shareholder Approval. At the first annual meeting of the shareholders of the Company to be held following the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the date of this Agreement, and at every fifth (5^th) annual meeting of the shareholders of the Company thereafter, the rights of any Principal Shareholders under Section 3.1.2(a) shall be submitted to the shareholders of the Company for approval by a simple majority (>50%) of the votes cast by the shareholders of the Company represented in person or by proxy at such meeting (provided that, for greater certainty, all shareholders of the Company shall be entitled to vote with respect to such approval). If such rights are approved by shareholders of the Company in accordance with the foregoing, the rights of any Principal Shareholders under Section 3.1.2(a) shall continue in full force and effect until the next shareholder meeting at which such rights must be submitted for approval. If at any such meeting the requisite shareholder approval is not obtained, the rights of any Principal Shareholders under Section 3.1.2(a) shall become void and shall have no further force and effect.

Section 3.2. Expenses.

Section 3.2.1. The Company shall reimburse the members of the Board for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the attendance at meetings of the Board and any committees thereof, including travel, lodging and meal expenses.

Section 3.2.2. The Company shall obtain customary director and officer liability insurance on commercially reasonable terms.

Section 3.2.  Shelf Registration.

Section 3.2.1.  Request for U.S. Shelf Registration.

(a) Upon the written request of any Holders entitled to make Demand Registration Requests (a “U.S. Shelf Registration Request”), the Company shall promptly file a shelf Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (each, a “U.S. Shelf Registration Statement”) relating to the offer and sale of Registrable Securities by such Holders from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such Holders, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such U.S. Shelf Registration Statement to promptly become effective under the Securities Act. Any such Registration pursuant to a U.S. Shelf Registration Request shall hereinafter be referred to as a “U.S. Shelf Registration.”

(b) If on the date of the U.S. Shelf Registration Request contemplating the filing of a U.S. Shelf Registration Statement, the Company is a WKSI, then the U.S. Shelf Registration Request may request Registration with the SEC of an unspecified amount of Registrable Securities to be sold by unspecified Holders. If on the date of the U.S. Shelf Registration Request the Company is not a WKSI, then the U.S. Shelf Registration Request shall specify the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities to be registered. The Company shall provide to the Holders the information necessary to determine the Company’s status as a WKSI upon request.

(c) All Holders shall be deemed to have made a U.S. Shelf Registration Request on the date hereof for the Company to file a U.S. Shelf Registration Statement relating to the resale of all Registrable Securities owned by such Holders on the date hereof promptly following the closing of the Business Combination.

Section 3.2.2.  U.S. Shelf Registration Notice. Promptly upon receipt of a U.S. Shelf Registration Request (but in no event more than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such shorter period as may be reasonably requested in connection with a Bought Deal)), the Company shall deliver a written notice (a “U.S. Shelf Registration Notice”) of any such request to all other Holders, which notice shall specify, if applicable, the amount of Registrable Securities to be registered, and the U.S. Shelf Registration Notice shall offer each such Holder the opportunity to include in the U.S. Shelf Registration that number of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request in writing. The Company shall include in such U.S. Shelf Registration all such Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be reasonably requested in connection with a Bought Deal provided such period is at least 24 hours) after the date that the U.S. Shelf Registration Notice has been delivered; provided, however, that if the Holder, is not, or is not controlled (directly or indirectly) by, a director or officer of the Company, such time for providing written requests for inclusion shall be extended to five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be reasonably requested in connection with a Bought Deal provided such period is at least 24 hours).

- 9 -

Section 3.2.3.  Continued Effectiveness of U.S. Shelf Registration Statement. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep any U.S. Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act in order to permit the U.S. Prospectus forming part of the U.S. Shelf Registration Statement to be usable by Holders until the earlier of: (i) the date as of which all Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to the U.S. Shelf Registration Statement as part of another Registration (but in no event prior to the applicable period referred to in Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder); and (ii) the date as of which no Holder holds Registrable Securities (such period of effectiveness, the “U.S. Shelf Period”). Subject to Section 3.2.4, the Company shall be deemed not to have used its reasonable best efforts to keep the U.S. Shelf Registration Statement effective during the U.S. Shelf Period if the Company voluntarily takes any action or omits to take any action that would result in Holders of the Registrable Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to such U.S. Shelf Registration Statement during the U.S. Shelf Period, unless such action or omission is required by applicable law.

Section 3.2.4.  Suspension of U.S. Shelf Registration. If the continued use of such U.S. Shelf Registration Statement at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, suspend use of the U.S. Shelf Registration Statement (a “U.S. Shelf Suspension”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be permitted to exercise a U.S. Shelf Suspension more than sixty (60) consecutive days or more than one hundred twenty (120) days during any twelve (12) month period. In the case of a U.S. Shelf Suspension, the Holders agree to suspend use of the applicable U.S. Prospectus in connection with any sale or purchase of, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable Securities, upon receipt of the notice referred to above. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders in writing upon the termination of any U.S. Shelf Suspension, amend or supplement the U.S. Prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain any untrue statement or omission and furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of the U.S. Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as the Holders may reasonably request. The Company shall, if necessary, supplement or amend the U.S. Shelf Registration Statement, if required by the registration form used by the Company for the U.S. Shelf Registration Statement or by the instructions applicable to such registration form or by the Securities Act or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder or as may reasonably be requested by the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities that are included in such U.S. Shelf Registration Statement.

Section 3.2.5.  U.S. Shelf Takedown.

(a) At any time the Company has an effective U.S. Shelf Registration Statement, by notice to the Company specifying the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, a Holder entitled to make Demand Registration Requests and whose Registrable Securities are able to be offered on such U.S. Shelf Registration Statement may make a written request (a “U.S. Shelf Takedown Request”) to the Company to effect a Public Offering, including an Underwritten U.S. Shelf Takedown, of all or a portion of such Registrable Securities that may be registered under such U.S. Shelf Registration Statement, and as soon as practicable the Company shall amend or supplement the U.S. Shelf Registration Statement as necessary for such purpose.

(b) Promptly upon receipt of a U.S. Shelf Takedown Request (but in no event more than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such shorter period as may be reasonably requested in connection with a Bought Deal)) for any Underwritten U.S. Shelf Takedown, the Company shall deliver a notice (a “U.S. Shelf Takedown Notice”) to each other Holder with Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement, or to all other Holders if such Registration Statement is undesignated (each a “Potential Takedown Participant”). The U.S. Shelf Takedown Notice shall offer each such Potential Takedown Participant the opportunity to include in any Underwritten U.S. Shelf Takedown such number of Registrable Securities as each such Potential Takedown Participant may request in writing. The Company shall include in the Underwritten U.S. Shelf Takedown all such Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be reasonably requested by the requesting Holder in connection with a Bought Deal provided such period is at least 24 hours) after the date that the U.S. Shelf Takedown Notice has been delivered. Notwithstanding the delivery of any U.S. Shelf Takedown Notice, all determinations as to whether to complete any Underwritten U.S. Shelf Takedown and as to the timing, manner, price and other terms of any Underwritten U.S. Shelf Takedown contemplated by this Section 3.2.5 shall be determined by the requesting Holder.

Section 3.2.6.  Priority of Securities Sold Pursuant to U.S. Shelf Takedowns. If the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed Underwritten U.S. Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 3.2.5 advise the Company in writing that, in its or their opinion, the number of securities requested to be included in the proposed Underwritten U.S. Shelf Takedown exceeds the number that can be sold in such Underwritten U.S. Shelf Takedown without being likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the market for the securities offered, the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such offering shall be (x) first, allocated to each Holder that has requested to participate in such Underwritten U.S. Shelf Takedown an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the number of such Registrable Securities requested to be registered or sold by such Holder, and (ii) a number of such shares equal to such Holder’s Pro Rata Portion, and (y) second, and only if all the securities referred to in clause (x) have been included, the number of other securities that, in the opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters can be sold without having such adverse effect.

Section 3.2.7.  Resale Rights. In the event that a Holder elects to request a Registration pursuant to this Section 3.2 in connection with a distribution of Registrable Securities to its partners or members, the Registration shall provide for resale by such partners or members, if requested by such Holder.

Section 3.2.8.  Request for Canadian Shelf Registration

(a) Upon the written request of any Holders entitled to make Demand Registration Requests from time to time following the completion of the Business Combination (a “Canadian Shelf Registration Request”), the Company shall promptly file with the applicable Canadian Securities Authorities, and use its reasonable best efforts to secure the issuance of a receipt or mutual reliance review decision document for, a preliminary base shelf prospectus and base shelf (final) prospectus (the “Canadian Base Shelf Prospectus”) pursuant to the provisions of NI 44-102 to qualify the distribution of all of the Registrable Securities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada (or as otherwise determined by the Holders entitled to make Demand Registration Requests in the Canadian Shelf Registration Request).

(b) In advance of the expiration of any Canadian Base Shelf Prospectus, except as otherwise directed by the Holders entitled to make Demand Registration Requests in writing, the Company shall renew such Canadian Base Shelf Prospectus in accordance with Section 3.2.8(a), such that the Company shall at all times have an effective Canadian Base Shelf Prospectus with enough capacity to allow the sale thereunder of all remaining Registrable Securities.

(c) The Company shall satisfy any Demand Registration Request that is submitted pursuant to Section 2.2 at a time that a Canadian Base Shelf Prospectus is effective by filing a supplement to the Canadian Base Shelf Prospectus (a “Canadian Shelf Supplement”) with the applicable Canadian Securities Authorities in accordance with NI 44-102 as soon as practicable and in any event not later than three (3) Business Days after the Demand Registration Request is received. Section 3.1 shall apply mutatis mutandis to any Demand Registration Request effected pursuant to this Section 3.2.8.

Subject to Section 3.3.2, the Company shall include in such Registration Statement, Canadian Preliminary Prospectus or Canadian Prospectus or in such Public Offering, as applicable, all such Registrable Securities that are requested to be included therein within five (5) days after the receipt by such Holder of any such notice; provided, however, that if at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register or sell any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such Registration, the filing of a Canadian Prospectus in connection with such Registration, or the pricing or trade date of a Public Offering under a U.S. Shelf Registration Statement, the Company determines for any reason not to register or sell or to delay the Registration or sale of such securities, the Company shall give written notice of such determination to each Holder and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to register or sell, shall be relieved of its obligation to register or sell any Registrable Securities in connection with such Registration or Public Offering (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith), without prejudice, however, to the rights of any Holders entitled to request that such Registration or sale be effected as a Demand Registration under Section 3.1, (including pursuant to Section 3.2.8(c)) or an Underwritten U.S. Shelf Takedown under Section 3.2, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay Registration or sale, in the absence of a request for a Demand Registration or an Underwritten U.S. Shelf Takedown, as the case may be, shall be permitted to delay registering or selling any Registrable Securities, for the same period as the delay in registering or selling such other securities. Any Holder shall have the right to withdraw all or part of its request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw.

Section 3.3.3.  No Effect on Other Registrations. No Registration of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to a request under this Section 3.3 shall be deemed to have been effected pursuant to Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 or shall relieve the Company of its obligations under Section 3.1 and Section 3.2.

This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Holder or any indemnified party and shall survive the Transfer of such securities by such Holder and regardless of any indemnity agreed to in the underwriting agreement that is less favorable to the Holders. The Company shall also indemnify underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above (with appropriate modification) with respect to the indemnification of the indemnified parties.

- 20 -

Section 3.9.2.  Indemnification by the Selling Holders. Each selling Holder agrees (severally and not jointly) to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its Directors and officers and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or of analogous provisions under applicable Canadian Securities Laws) or is deemed to control the Company from and against any Losses resulting from (i) (A) any untrue statement of a material fact in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered or sold under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary U.S. Prospectus contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein) or (B) any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a U.S. Prospectus or preliminary U.S. Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (ii) any information or statement in a Canadian Preliminary Prospectus or Canadian Prospectus that contains a misrepresentation, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission or such misrepresentation is contained in such selling Holder’s Selling Holder Information. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds from the sale of its Registrable Securities in the offering giving rise to such indemnification obligation, net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before expenses, less any amounts paid by such Holder pursuant to Section 3.9.4 and any amounts paid by such Holder as a result of liabilities incurred under the underwriting agreement, if any, related to such sale.

Section 3.9.3.  Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (a) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that any delay or failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it forfeits substantive legal rights by reason of such delay or failure) and (b) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to select and employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such claim from the Person entitled to indemnification hereunder and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person, (iii) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of its counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, or (iv) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person (based upon advice of its counsel) a conflict of interest may exist between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person). If the indemnifying party assumes the defense, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to settle such action without the consent of the indemnified party. No indemnifying party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of an unconditional release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation without the prior written consent of such indemnified party. If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its prior written consent, but such consent may not be unreasonably withheld. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, except as specifically set forth in this Section 3.9.3, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements or other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time unless (x) the employment of more than one counsel has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party or parties, (y) an indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on the advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the other indemnified parties or (z) a conflict or potential conflict exists or may exist (based upon advice of counsel to an indemnified party) between such indemnified party and the other indemnified parties, in each of which cases the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels.

Section 3.9.4.  Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in Section 3.9.1 and Section 3.9.2 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any Losses referred to therein (other than as a result of exceptions or limitations on indemnification contained in Section 3.9.1 and Section 3.9.2), then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the acts, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or misrepresentation or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by 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, misrepresentation or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.9.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 3.9.4. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to in Section 3.9.1 and Section 3.9.2 shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.9.4, in connection with any Registration effected pursuant to this Agreement, a selling Holder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds from the sale of its Registrable Securities in the offering giving rise to such indemnification obligation, net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before expenses, less any amounts paid by such Holder pursuant to Section 3.9.2 and any amounts paid by such Holder as a result of liabilities incurred under the underwriting agreement, if any, related to such Registration. If indemnification is available under this Section 3.9, the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent provided in Section 3.9.1 and Section 3.9.2 hereof without regard to the provisions of this Section 3.9.4. The remedies provided for in this Section 3.9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

Section 3.10.  Rules 144 and 144A and Regulation S.

Section 3.12.  Short Form Registrations. After the Company becoming a reporting issuer or the equivalent under Canadian Securities Laws in any province or territory of Canada, the Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to make available and maintain the availability of short form prospectus Registrations pursuant to NI 44-101.

Section 7.2 Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The Corporation, to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, as amended from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized hereby.

Article I
OFFICES

Section 1.1. Registered Office. The registered office of Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp. required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) to be maintained in the State of Delaware, shall be the registered office named in the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (as the same may be amended and restated from time to time, the “Certificate of Incorporation”), or such other office as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) in the manner provided by law. Should the Corporation maintain a principal office within the State of Delaware such registered office need not be identical to such principal office of the Corporation.

Section 1.2. Additional Offices. The Corporation may have offices at such other places both within and without the State of Delaware as the Board may from time to time determine or as the business and affairs of the Corporation may require.

Article II
STOCKHOLDERS

Section 2.1. Place of Meetings. All meetings of the stockholders shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation, or at such other place within or without the State of Delaware as shall be specified or fixed in the notices or waivers of notice thereof.

Section 2.2. Quorum; Adjournment of Meetings. Unless otherwise required by law or provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the holders of shares of stock with a majority of the voting power entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders for the transaction of business. The stockholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Shares of the Corporation’s stock belonging to the Corporation or to another corporation, if such shares of stock representing a majority of the voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation are held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation to vote stock, including but not limited to its own stock, held by it in a fiduciary capacity.

Notwithstanding the other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the chairman of the meeting or the holders of shares of stock with a majority of the voting power present in person or represented by proxy at any meeting of stockholders, whether or not a quorum is present, shall have the power to adjourn such meeting from time to time, without any notice other than announcement at the meeting of the time and place of the holding of the adjourned meeting; provided, however, if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.

1

Section 2.3. Annual Meetings. An annual meeting of the stockholders, for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held at such place, within or without the State of Delaware, on such date, and at such time as the Board shall fix and set forth in the notice of the meeting, which date shall be within thirteen (13) months subsequent to the later of the date of incorporation or the last annual meeting of stockholders.

Section 2.4. Special Meetings. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, special meetings of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board (if any), by the Chief Executive Officer or by a majority of the Board, or by a majority of the executive committee (if any), and shall be called by the Chairman of the Board (if any), by the Chief Executive Officer or the Secretary upon the written request therefor, stating the purpose or purposes of the meeting, delivered to such officer, signed by the holder(s) of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote at such meeting.

Section 2.5. Record Date. For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders, or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for any such determination of stockholders, which date shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action.

If the Board does not fix a record date for any meeting of the stockholders, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if in accordance with Article VIII, Section 3 of these Bylaws notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. If, in accordance with Section 12 of this Article II, corporate action without a meeting of stockholders is to be taken, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to such corporate action in writing, when no prior action by the Board is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed. The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

Section 2.6. Notice of Meetings. Written notice of the place, date and hour of all meetings, and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board (if any) or the Chief Executive Officer, the Secretary or the other person(s) calling the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat and shall be delivered not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, personally, by electronic transmission or by mail. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his or her address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. The Corporation may provide stockholders with notice of a meeting by electronic transmission provided such stockholders have consented to receiving electronic notice.

2

Section 2.7. Stock List. A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order for each class of stock and showing the address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of such stockholder, shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to the list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. The stock list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.

Section 2.8. Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to a corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy. Proxies for use at any meeting of stockholders shall be filed with the Secretary, or such other officer as the Board may from time to time determine by resolution, before or at the time of the meeting. All proxies shall be received and taken charge of and all ballots shall be received and canvassed by the secretary of the meeting who shall decide all questions touching upon the qualification of voters, the validity of the proxies, and the acceptance or rejection of votes, unless an inspector or inspectors shall have been appointed by the chairman of the meeting, in which event such inspector or inspectors shall decide all such questions.

No proxy shall be valid after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Each proxy shall be revocable unless expressly provided therein to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power.

Should a proxy designate two or more persons to act as proxies, unless such instrument shall provide the contrary, a majority of such persons present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or if only one be present, then such powers may be exercised by that one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any particular issue, each proxy so attending shall be entitled to exercise such powers in respect of the same portion of the shares as he or she is of the proxies representing such shares.

Section 2.9. Voting; Elections; Inspectors. Unless otherwise required by law or provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote which is registered in his or her name on the record date for the meeting. Shares registered in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the bylaw (or comparable instrument) of such corporation may prescribe, or in the absence of such provision, as the board of directors (or comparable body) of such corporation may determine. Shares registered in the name of a deceased person may be voted by his or her executor or administrator, either in person or by proxy.

3

All voting, except as required by the Certificate of Incorporation or where otherwise required by law, may be a voice vote; provided, however, that upon demand therefor by stockholders holding shares of stock representing a majority of the voting power present in person or by proxy at any meeting, a written ballot vote shall be taken. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares of stock entitled to vote in the election of directors at a meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present. All other elections and questions presented to the stockholders at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall, unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, or applicable law or pursuant to any regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock of the Corporation which are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon. Any stock vote taken by written ballots shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as may be required under the procedure established for the meeting.

At any meeting at which a vote is taken by ballots, the chairman of the meeting may appoint one or more inspectors, each of whom shall subscribe an oath or affirmation to execute faithfully the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. Such inspector shall (i) ascertain the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding and the voting power of each such share, (ii) determine the shares of capital stock of the Corporation represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and ballots, (iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and (v) certify their determination of the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation represented at the meeting and such inspectors’ count of all votes and ballots. Such certification and report shall specify such other information as may be required by law. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, the inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law. The chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to serve as inspector, except no candidate for the office of director shall be appointed as an inspector.

Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, cumulative voting for the election of directors shall be prohibited.

Section 2.10. Conduct of Meetings. The meetings of the stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board (if any), or if he or she is not present, by the Chief Executive Officer, or if neither the Chairman of the Board (if any), nor Chief Executive Officer is present, by a chairman elected at the meeting. The Secretary of the Corporation, if present, shall act as secretary of such meetings, or if he or she is not present, an Assistant Secretary (if any) shall so act; if neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary (if any) is present, then a secretary shall be appointed by the chairman of the meeting. The chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seem to him in order.

4

Section 2.11. Treasury Stock. The Corporation shall not vote, directly or indirectly, shares of its own stock owned by it or any other corporation, if a majority of shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly by the Corporation and such shares shall not be counted for quorum purposes.

Section 2.12. Action Without Meeting. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action permitted or required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws to be taken at a meeting of stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than a unanimous written consent shall be given by the Secretary to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.

Article III
DIRECTORS

Section 3.1. Power; Number; Term of Office. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board, and subject to the restrictions imposed by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, they may exercise all the powers of the Corporation.

The number of directors of the Corporation shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board, unless the Certificate of Incorporation fixes the number of directors, in which case a change in the number of directors shall be made only by amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation. Each director shall hold office for the term for which he or she is elected, and until his or her successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, directors need not be stockholders nor residents of the State of Delaware.

Section 3.2. Quorum. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, a majority of the total number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business of the Board and the vote of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board.

Section 3.3. Place of Meetings; Order of Business. The directors may hold their meetings and may have an office and keep the books of the Corporation, except as otherwise provided by law, in such place or places, within or without the State of Delaware, as the Board may from time to time determine by resolution. At all meetings of the Board business shall be transacted in such order as shall from time to time be determined by the Chairman of the Board (if any), or in his or her absence by the Chief Executive Officer, or by resolution of the Board.

Section 3.4. First Meeting. Each newly elected Board may hold its first meeting for the purpose of organization and the transaction of business, if a quorum is present, immediately after and at the same place as the annual meeting of the stockholders. Notice of such meeting shall not be required.

5

Section 3.5. Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board shall be held at such times and places as shall be designated from time to time by resolution of the Board. Notice of such regular meetings shall not be required.

Section 3.6. Special Meetings.

Such notice, or any waiver thereof pursuant to Article VIII, Section 3 hereof, need not state the purpose or purposes of such meeting, except as may otherwise be required by law or provided for in the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

Section 3.7. Removal. Any director or the entire Board may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors; provided that, unless the Certificate of Incorporation otherwise provides, if the Board is classified, then the stockholders may effect such removal only for cause; and provided further that, if the Certificate of Incorporation expressly grants to stockholders the right to cumulate votes for the election of directors and if less than the entire Board is to be removed, no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against his or her removal would be sufficient to elect him or her if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire Board, or, if there be classes of directors, at an election of the class of directors of which such director is a part.

Section 3.8. Vacancies; Increases in the Number of Directors. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or a sole remaining director; and any director so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election and until his or her successor shall be duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner displaced.

If the directors of the Corporation are divided into classes, any directors elected to fill vacancies or newly created directorships shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such directors shall have been chosen, and until their successors shall be duly elected and shall qualify.

Section 3.9. Compensation. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board shall have the authority to fix the compensation of directors.

Section 3.10. Action Without a Meeting; Telephone Conference Meeting. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board, or any committee designated by the Board, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee. Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote at a meeting, and may be stated as such in any document or instrument filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware.

6

Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, subject to the requirement for notice of meetings, members of the Board, or members of any committee designated by the Board, may participate in a meeting of such Board or committee, as the case may be, by means of a conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in such a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Section 3.11. Approval or Ratification of Acts or Contracts by Stockholders. The Board in its discretion may submit any act or contract for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders, or at any special meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any act or contract that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the holders of shares of stock representing a majority of the voting power entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy at such meeting (provided that a quorum is present), shall be as valid and as binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as if it has been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation. In addition, any such act or contract may be approved or ratified by the written consent of the holders of shares of stock representing a majority of the voting power entitled to vote and such consent shall be as valid and as binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as if it had been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation.

Article IV
COMMITTEES

Section 4.1. Designation; Powers. The Board may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole board, designate one or more committees, including, if they shall so determine, an executive committee, each such committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. Any such designated committee shall have and may exercise such of the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation as may be provided in such resolution, except that no such committee shall have the power or authority of the Board in reference to amending the Certificate of Incorporation, adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation, recommending to the stockholders an agreement of merger, recommending to the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s property and assets, recommending to the stockholders a dissolution of the Corporation or a revocation of a dissolution of the Corporation, or amending, altering or repealing the Bylaws or adopting new Bylaws for the Corporation and, unless such resolution or the Certificate of Incorporation expressly so provides, no such committee shall have the power or authority to declare a dividend or to authorize the issuance of stock. Any such designated committee may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it. In addition to the above, such committee or committees shall have such other powers and limitations of authority as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board.

At every meeting of any such committee, the presence of a majority of all the members thereof shall constitute a quorum and the affirmative vote of a majority of the members present shall be necessary for the adoption by it of any resolution.

7

Section 4.3. Substitution of Members. The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of such committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not constituting a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board to act at the meeting in the place of the absent or disqualified member.

Article V

Each officer shall hold office until his or her successor shall be duly elected and shall qualify or until his or her death or until he or she shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided.

Any officer or agent elected or appointed by the Board may be removed, either with or without cause, by the vote of a majority of the whole Board at a special meeting called for the purpose, or at any regular meeting of the Board.

Section 5.4. Vacancies. Any vacancy occurring in any office of the Corporation may be filled by the Board.

Section 5.5. Powers and Duties of the Chief Executive Officer. The President shall be the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation unless the Board designates the Chairman of the Board or any other officer as Chief Executive Officer.

In the absence of a designation by the Board of a Vice President to perform the duties of the Chief Executive Officer, or in the event of his or her absence or inability or refusal to act, the Vice President who is present and who is senior in terms of time as a Vice President of the Corporation shall so act.

Article VI
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS

Section 6.1. Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or officer or in any other capacity while serving or having agreed to serve as a director or officer, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all cost or expense, liability and loss (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, damages, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such person to indemnity hereunder and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof), other than a proceeding (or part thereof) brought under Section 3 of this Article VI, initiated by such person or his or her heirs, executors and administrators only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article VI shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the DGCL requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a current, former or proposed director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer or proposed director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is or has been agreed to be rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnified person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such indemnified person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise.

10

Section 6.2. Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may, by action of its Board, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation, individually or as a group, with the same scope and effect as the indemnification of directors and officers provided for in this Article VI.

Section 6.3. Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a written claim received by the Corporation from or on behalf of an indemnified party under this Article VI is not paid in full by the Corporation within ninety (90) days after such receipt, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

Section 6.4. Non-exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any law (common or statutory), provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Section 6.5. No Personal Liability. No director or officer of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or to any stockholder of the Corporation for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, provided that this provision shall not limit the liability of a director or officer (i) for any breach of the director’s or the officer’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit.

11

Section 6.6. Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any person who is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

Section 6.7. Savings Clause. If this Article VI or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each director and officer of the Corporation (each, a “Covered Person”), as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article VI that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article VI shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any Covered Person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

Section 6.8. Definitions. For purposes of this Article, reference to the “Corporation” shall include, in addition to the Corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger prior to (or, in the case of an entity specifically designated in a resolution of the Board, after) the adoption hereof and which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had the power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VI with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

Article VII
CAPITAL STOCK

Section 7.1. Certificates of Stock. Except as provided in this Section 7.1 of Article VII, the certificates for shares of the capital stock of the Corporation shall be uncertificated, provided that the Board of Directors may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all classes of series of the Corporation’s stock shall be represented by certificates. Each certificated share of stock shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer or a Vice President and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the Chief Financial Officer or an Assistant Chief Financial Officer certifying the number of shares (and, if the stock of the Corporation shall be divided into classes or series, the class and series of such shares) owned by the stockholder in the Corporation; provided, however, that any of or all the signatures on the certificate may be facsimile. The stock record books and the blank stock certificate books shall be kept by the Secretary, or at the office of such transfer agent or transfer agents as the Board may from time to time by resolution determine. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who shall have signed or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been placed upon any such certificate or certificates shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued by the Corporation, such certificate may nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

12

Section 7.2. Transfer of Shares. Subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and any other applicable agreements regarding the transfer of stock, the shares of stock of the Corporation shall be transferable only on the books of the Corporation by the holders thereof in person or by their duly authorized attorneys or legal representatives upon surrender and cancellation of certificates for a like number of shares, duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority of transfer or upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered holder of uncertificated shares and upon compliance with appropriate procedures for transferring shares in uncertificated form.

Section 7.3. Ownership of Shares. The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of capital stock of the Corporation as the holder in fact thereof and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Delaware.

Section 7.4. Regulations Regarding Certificates. The Board shall have the power and authority to make all such rules and regulations as they may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration or the replacement of certificates for shares of capital stock of the Corporation.

Section 7.5. Lost or Destroyed Certificates. The Board may determine the conditions upon which a new certificate of stock may be issued in place of a certificate which is alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed; and may, in their discretion, require the owner of such certificate or his or her legal representative to give bond, with sufficient surety, to indemnify the Corporation and each transfer agent and registrar against any and all losses or claims which may arise by reason of the issue of a new certificate in the place of the one so lost, stolen or destroyed.

Whenever notice is required to be given by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or under any of the provisions of these Bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice.

Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors, or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

Section 8.4. Resignations. Any director, member of a committee or officer may resign at any time. Such resignation shall be made in writing or by electronic transmission and shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if no time be specified, at the time of its receipt by the Chief Executive Officer or Secretary.

Contracts, documents and instruments may be signed on behalf of the Corporation manually, by facsimile, or by electronic means by (i) any by any director or officer of the Corporation (unless otherwise determined by the Board) or (ii) any other person authorized by the Board from time to time. Each person referred to in (i) and (ii) is an “Authorized Signatory”.

Voting rights for securities held by the Corporation may be exercised on behalf of the Corporation by any one Authorized Signatory.

ARTICLE 3

DIRECTORS

3.1 Number.

Subject to the requirements of the Act applicable to reporting issuers, the number of directors of the Corporation when a minimum number and a maximum number are specified in the articles is, at any time, the number of directors holding office immediately following the most recent election or appointment of directors, whether by the shareholders at a meeting of the shareholders, or by the Board pursuant to the Act.

No decrease in the number of directors will shorten the term of an incumbent director.

- 2 - 

3.2 Election and Term of Office.

The directors are elected at the annual meeting of shareholders by a majority of the votes cast. The vote for the election of directors is by show of hands, unless a ballot is requested by a shareholder present and entitled to vote at the meeting.

The term of office of a director starts on the date of the meeting of shareholders at which he or she is elected or on such other date as the shareholders determine. Each director remains in office for a term not exceeding three years or until a successor is elected, unless his or her mandate otherwise ends before the completion of his or her term. A director not elected for an expressly stated term ceases to hold office at the close of the first annual meeting of shareholders following his or her election. A director whose mandate has expired is eligible for another term.

All steps taken by a meeting of the directors or by any person acting as a director, until their successors have been duly elected or appointed, shall, notwithstanding that it is subsequently discovered that there was some defect in the election of the directors or of such person acting as a director or that any one of them was disqualified, be as valid as if the directors or such other person, as the case may be, had been duly elected and were qualified to be directors of the Corporation.

3.3 Remuneration

The Board determines the remuneration of the directors from time to time, by resolution. The directors are also entitled to be reimbursed for travel costs and reasonable expenses incurred in the performance of their duties.

3.4 Calling and Place of Meetings.

The chair of the Board, the chief executive officer or the president (if the chair of the Board is unavailable), or the majority of directors then in office, may at any time call a meeting of directors, to be held at the time and place the person or persons calling the meeting determine. The secretary shall cause notice of a meeting of directors to be given when so directed by such person or persons.

Meetings of directors may be held at any place in or outside Canada.

3.5 Notice of Meeting.

Notice of the time and place for the holding of any meeting of directors will be given to each director not less than 48 hours before the time when the meeting is to be held, provided that meetings of directors may be held at any time without notice if all the directors have waived notice.

If a quorum of directors, as defined in Section 3.7 below, is present, a meeting of directors may be held, without notice, immediately following the annual meeting of shareholders.

A notice of a meeting of directors need not specify the purpose of, or the business to be transacted at, the meeting; it must, however, specify the time and place of the meeting, and where applicable, any matter to be dealt with at the meeting that relates to powers the Board may not delegate.

A notice of meeting must be sent to each director, at his or her last known civic or electronic address, by any means providing proof of its sending.

In all cases in which the chair of the Board, the vice-chair of the Board, if any, the president and chief executive officer or the majority of the directors in office consider, in their discretion, that it is urgent to call a meeting of the directors, they may cause a notice of such meeting to be given by any means which they deem sufficient at least two (2) hours before the meeting is to be held, and such notice shall be sufficient for such meeting.

- 3 - 

3.6 Waiver.

A director may waive notice of a meeting of directors, any irregularity in a notice of meeting of directors or any other irregularity in the calling or holding of a meeting of directors. Such waiver must be given in writing and may be given at any time either before or after the meeting to which it relates. Waiver of notice of a meeting of directors cures any irregularity in the notice or in its timeliness, and any failure to give the notice.

Attendance of a director at a meeting of directors constitutes waiver of notice of the meeting, except when such director attends a meeting for the sole purpose of objecting to the holding of the meeting and the transaction of any business on the grounds that it was not lawfully called.

3.7 Quorum.

Unless otherwise provided in a resolution of the Board as provided in the Act, a majority of the directors then in office constitutes a quorum at any meeting of directors. A quorum of directors may exercise all the powers of the directors despite any vacancy among the Board.

3.8 Chair and Secretary.

The chair of any meeting of directors is the first mentioned of the following who is a director and is present at the meeting: (i) the chair of the Board; (ii) the vice-chair of the Board, if any, and (iii) if no such person is present at the meeting, the participating director designated to act as chair by the other directors present at the meeting.

The secretary will act as secretary at meetings of directors. If a secretary has not been appointed or the secretary is absent, the chair of the meeting shall designate a person, who need not be a director, to act as secretary for the meeting.

3.9 Votes to Govern.

Any question at a meeting of directors will be decided by a majority of the votes cast on the question at the meeting. Each director is entitled to one vote. In case of an equality of votes, whether the vote is by show of hands or ballot, the chair of the meeting will not be entitled to a second or casting vote.

Voting shall be carried out by a show of hands, or at the request of a director, by secret ballot. A vote by secret ballot may be requested before or after a vote by show of hands. If voting is by secret ballot, the secretary will act as scrutineer and review and tally the ballots.

3.10 Dissent.

A director who is present at a meeting of the Board or a committee of the Board is deemed to have consented to any resolution passed at the meeting unless:

(1) the director’s dissent has been entered in the minutes;

(2) the director sends a written dissent to the secretary of the meeting before the meeting is adjourned; or

(3) the director delivers a written dissent to the chair of the Board, sends it to the chair by any means providing proof of the date of receipt or delivers it to the head office of the Corporation immediately after the meeting is adjourned.

A director is not entitled to dissent after voting for or consenting to a resolution.

- 4 - 

3.11 Dissent of an Absent Director.

A director who was not present at a meeting at which a resolution was passed is deemed to have consented to the resolution unless the director records his or her dissent in accordance with the Act within seven (7) days after becoming aware of the resolution.

3.12 Adjournment.

The chair of any meeting of the directors may, with the consent of the majority of those directors who are present at the meeting, adjourn the meeting to a fixed time and place. No notice of the time and place for the continuance of the adjourned meeting need be given to any director in such a case.

An adjourned meeting is duly constituted if held in accordance with the terms of the adjournment and a quorum is present at the adjourned meeting. The directors who formed the quorum at the original meeting are not required to form the quorum at the adjourned meeting.

3.13 Electronic Meetings.

If all the directors consent thereto generally or in respect of a particular meeting, a director may participate in a meeting of directors by means of equipment enabling all participants to communicate directly with one another. A director participating in a meeting by such means is deemed to be present at the meeting. Any consent is effective whether given before or after the meeting to which it relates and may be given in respect of all meetings of the directors.

3.14 Resolution in lieu of Meeting.

A resolution in writing, signed by all the directors entitled to vote on that resolution, has the same force as if it had been passed at a meeting of the directors. A copy of the resolution must be kept with the minutes of the meetings of the directors.

A resolution in writing that is signed electronically by the directors is as legally valid as if it were signed by written signature.

3.15 Record Date.

The Board may fix, in conformity with the Act and applicable securities laws, a date as the record date for the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to receive notice of a meeting of shareholders, receive payment of a dividend, participate in a liquidation or distribution and vote at a meeting of shareholders or for any other purpose. Only those registered shareholders on the record date thus fixed are entitled to receive notice of a meeting of shareholders, receive payment of a dividend, participate in a liquidation or distribution or vote at a meeting of shareholders or for any other purpose, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of shares recorded in the securities register of the Corporation after the record date.

ARTICLE 4

COMMITTEES

4.1 Committees of Directors.

The Board may appoint one or more committees made up of directors. The number of directors of any committee of the Board shall be the number set out in the resolution appointing the committee. A committee of the Board exercises the powers delegated to it by the Board. The Board may delegate to such committees any of the powers of the directors, except those powers that under the Act the directors may not delegate.

- 5 - 

4.2 Proceedings.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, each committee of directors may make, amend or repeal rules and procedures to regulate its meetings including: (i) fixing the quorum, provided it is not less than a majority of the members of the committee; (ii) procedures for calling meetings; (iii) requirements for providing notice of meetings; (iv) selecting a chair for a meeting; and (v) determining whether the chair will have a deciding vote in the event there is an equality of votes cast on a question.

Subject to any such rules or procedures established to regulate its meetings, Sections 3.1 to 3.14 hereof apply to any committee of directors, with such changes as are necessary.

4.3 Cessation of office.

A director may resign from a committee of the Board at any time. The resignation of a director becomes effective at the time the director’s written resignation is received by the Corporation, or at the time specified in the resignation, whichever is later. The reason for the resignation is not required to be given.

The Board may, by resolution, replace a member of a committee of the Board.

4.4 Vacancy.

The Board may fill any vacancy on a committee of the Board.

The same person may hold more than one position as officer. None of them need be a director or shareholder of the Corporation, except for the chair of the Board who must be a director.

5.2 Cessation of Office.

An officer may resign at any time. The resignation of an officer takes effect on the date the Corporation receives the written notice he or she gives or on the later date indicated therein.

The Board or the chief executive officer may remove an officer from office at any time, with or without cause. Such removal is without prejudice to the officer’s rights, if any, under any contract or laws governing his or her employment. However, the removal of the president, the chair of the Board, the chief executive officer, the chief operating officer, or the chief financial officer regardless of their title, as their appointment, is the responsibility of the Board.

5.3 Vacancy

The Board may fill any vacancy in an office at any time.

- 6 - 

5.4 Powers of Officers.

An officer exercises the powers attached to his or her position. He or she also exercises all the powers which the Board can delegate to him or her. In the event an officer is unable to act, the powers of such officer are exercised by any other person designated by the Board.

ARTICLE 6

PROTECTION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND OTHERS

6.1 Indemnity.

In accordance with the Act, the Corporation shall indemnify (i) any director or officer of the Corporation and any former director or officer of the Corporation, (ii) any mandatary of the Corporation, and (iii) any other person who acts or acted at the Corporation’s request as a director or officer of another group against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred in the exercise of their functions, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, or arising from any investigative or other proceeding in which the person is involved because of that association with the Corporation or other entity. The Corporation shall also advance moneys to such a director, officer or other person for the costs, charges and expenses of such a proceeding in accordance with the Act.

The Corporation is authorized to sign agreements in favour of any of the foregoing persons evidencing the terms of this indemnity. Nothing in this by-law limits the right of any person entitled to indemnity to claim indemnity apart from the provisions of this by-law.

6.2 Limits on Indemnity.

The Corporation may not indemnify or advance moneys to a person described in Section 6.1 in the event that a court or any other competent authority judges that the conditions for indemnification set out in the Act are not fulfilled or determines that such person has committed an intentional or gross fault.

6.3 Liability Insurance.

The Corporation must purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of its directors, officers and other mandataries against any liability they may incur as such or in their capacity as directors, officers or mandataries of another group, if they act or acted in that capacity at the Corporation’s request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may, as an alternative or in addition to purchasing and maintaining an insurance policy, implement and maintain a valid and irrevocable trust that provides substantially similar coverage as would a policy of insurance contemplated by this Section, as may be approved by the Board.

ARTICLE 7

SHAREHOLDERS

7.1 General.

The Corporation must hold an annual meeting of shareholders; it may hold one or more special meetings of shareholders as needed. An annual meeting must be held not later than fifteen (15) months after the last preceding annual meeting of shareholders.

7.2 Calling and Place of Meetings.

The Board has the power to call annual and special meetings of shareholders, to be held on the date and at the time and place it determines; however, such a meeting of shareholders may be held at a place outside the province of Québec if the articles so allow.

- 7 - 

7.3 Notice of Meeting.

Subject to the Securities Act (Québec) and applicable securities laws, the notice of a meeting of shareholders must be sent to each shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting and to each director. The time period to provide notice of a meeting of shareholders is not less than 21 days and not more than 60 days before the meeting.

The notice of meeting is sent to those shareholders entered in the securities register of the Corporation on the record date.

A certificate from the secretary or any other duly authorized officer of the Corporation in office at the time of the preparation of such certificate, or any officer, transfer agent, or share transfer registrar of the Corporation, constitutes proof of the sending of the notice of meeting and shall be binding upon each person entitled to receive the notice of meeting.

Irregularities in the notice of meeting or in the sending thereof do not affect the validity of the meeting. Similarly, the unintentional failure to send a notice of meeting to a person entitled to it, or the failure to receive it by a person entitled to the notice, does not invalidate the resolutions passed at the meeting. In addition, the unintentional failure to include a matter to be discussed at the meeting in the notice does not prevent the meeting from discussing such business, unless the interests of a shareholder or director are or could be affected thereby.

7.4 Waiver.

A shareholder or director may waive notice of a meeting of shareholders. Such waiver may be given in any manner and at any time either before or after the meeting to which it relates. Waiver of notice of a meeting of shareholders cures any irregularity in the notice or in its timeliness, and any failure to give the notice.

Attendance by a shareholder or director at a meeting of shareholders constitutes waiver of notice of the meeting, except when such person attends the meeting for the sole purpose of objecting to the holding of the meeting on the grounds that it was not lawfully called or held.

7.5 Persons Entitled to be Present.

The only persons entitled to be present at a meeting of shareholders are those persons entitled to vote at the meeting, the directors, the auditor, if any and if called upon to attend, and others who, although not entitled to vote, are entitled or required under any provision of the Act, the articles, or the by-laws to be present at the meeting. Any other person may be admitted with the consent of the chair of the meeting or, if any of the persons present who are entitled to vote at the meeting request a vote on such matter, with the consent of such persons.

If a director or a shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders gives written notice not less than 10 days before the meeting to the auditor or a former auditor of the Corporation, the auditor or former auditor attends the meeting at the Corporation’s expense and answers any question relating to its duties as auditor.

7.6 Quorum.

A quorum of shareholders is present at a meeting of shareholders if, at the opening of the meeting, two persons representing at least twenty-five per cent (25%) of the shares that carry the right to vote at the meeting are present in person or represented by proxy.

The actions taken by holders of the majority of shares so represented, which entitle their holders to vote, are considered as actions taken by all shareholders, unless the vote or consent of holders of a greater number of shares is required or prescribed by the applicable legislation, the articles or the by-laws.

- 8 - 

7.7 Proxies.

A proxy must comply with the applicable requirements of the Act and other applicable law and must be in such form as the Board may approve from time to time or such other form as may be acceptable to the chair of the meeting at which it is to be used.

A proxy will be acted on only if it is deposited with the Corporation or its agent prior to the time specified in the notice calling the meeting at which the proxy is to be used, or, if it is deposited with the secretary, the scrutineer for the meeting or the chair of the meeting prior to the time of voting. Unless otherwise indicated, a proxy may be revoked at any time and lapses one year after the date it is given.

The Board may, by resolution, fix the latest date and time for delivery of proxies to the Corporation or to its agent and indicate such date and time in the notice of meeting, which date and time, as provided above, shall not be more than 48 hours before the date of the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

7.8 Chair, Secretary and Scrutineers.

The chair of any meeting of shareholders is the first mentioned of the following persons who is present at the meeting: (i) the chair of the Board; (ii) the vice-chair of the Board, if any; (iii) the president, (iv) the chief executive officer and (v) any other person that may be designated by the Board from time to time.

The secretary will act as secretary at meetings of shareholders. If a secretary has not been appointed or the secretary is absent, the chair of the meeting shall designate a person, who need not be a shareholder, to act as secretary of the meeting.

The chair of the meeting may appoint one or more persons, who need not be shareholders, to act as scrutineers at any meeting of shareholders and, in that capacity, to report to the chair such information as to attendance, representation, voting and other matters at such meeting as the chair of the meeting directs.

7.9 Procedure.

The chair of a meeting of shareholders will conduct the meeting and determine the procedure to be followed at the meeting. The chair’s decision on all matters or things, including the validity or invalidity of a form of proxy or other instrument appointing a proxy, will be conclusive and binding upon the meeting of shareholders.

7.10 Manner of Voting.

Subject to the Act, any question at a meeting of shareholders will be decided by a show of hands, unless a ballot on the question is required or demanded. Subject to the Act, the chair of the meeting may require, or any shareholder who is present and entitled to vote may demand, a ballot on any question at a meeting of shareholders. The requirement or demand for a ballot may be made either before or after any vote on the question by a show of hands. A ballot will be taken in the manner the chair of the meeting directs. A requirement or demand for a ballot may be withdrawn at any time prior to the taking of the ballot. The result of such ballot will determine the decision of the shareholders upon the question.

In the case of a vote by a show of hands, each person present who is entitled to vote has one vote. If a ballot is taken, each person present who is entitled to vote has the number of votes that are attached to the shares which such person is entitled to vote at the meeting.

A proxyholder has the same rights as the shareholder represented to vote at the meeting. A proxyholder who has conflicting instructions from more than one shareholder may not, however, vote by show of hands.

- 9 - 

7.11 Electronic Meetings.

Meetings of shareholders may be held solely by means of equipment enabling all participants to communicate directly with one another. Any person entitled to attend a meeting of shareholders who participates by such means is deemed for purposes of the Act to be present at the meeting. The Board may establish procedures regarding the holding of meetings of shareholders by such means.

Any shareholder participating in a meeting of shareholders by means of equipment enabling all participants to communicate directly with one another may vote by any means enabling votes to be cast in a way that allows them to be verified afterwards, whether the vote is by a functional equivalent of a show of hands or by ballot, and protects the secrecy of the vote when a ballot has been requested.

7.12 Votes to Govern.

Any question at a meeting of shareholders will be decided by a majority of the votes cast on the question unless the Act, the articles, the by-laws, applicable securities laws or stock exchange rules require otherwise. In case of an equality of votes, whether the vote is by a show of hands or by a ballot, the chair of the meeting is not entitled to a second or casting vote.

The Corporation shall keep at its head office the ballots cast and the proxies presented at a meeting of shareholders for at least three months after the meeting.

7.13 Adjournment.

The chair of a meeting of shareholders may, with the consent of the persons present who are entitled to vote at the meeting, adjourn the meeting to a fixed time and place, subject to such conditions as such persons may decide and to the relevant provisions of the Act for the giving of notice.

An adjourned meeting is duly constituted if held in accordance with the terms of the adjournment and a quorum is present at the adjourned meeting. Any business which might have been considered and transacted at the original meeting of shareholders may be considered and transacted at the adjourned meeting.

7.14 Resolution in lieu of Meeting.

A resolution in writing, signed by all the shareholders entitled to vote on that resolution, is as valid as if it had been passed at a meeting of shareholders. The resolution must be kept with the minutes of the meetings of shareholders.

ARTICLE 8

This by-law shall be read such that a registered holder of securities of the Corporation pursuant to any such electronic, book-based, direct registration service or other non-certificated entry or position shall be entitled to all of the same benefits, rights, entitlements and shall incur the same duties and obligations as a registered holder of securities evidenced by a physical security certificate. The Corporation and its transfer agent may adopt such policies and procedures and require such documents and evidence as they may determine necessary or desirable in order to facilitate the adoption and maintenance of a security registration system by electronic, book-based, direct registration system or other non-certificated means.

ARTICLE 9

DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS

9.1 Declaration of dividends

Unless otherwise provided in the articles, the Board may declare and the Corporation may pay a dividend either in money or property or by issuing fully paid shares or options or rights to acquire fully paid shares of the Corporation.

The Corporation may not declare and pay a dividend, except by issuing shares or options or rights to acquire shares, if there are reasonable grounds for believing that the Corporation is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due.

The Corporation may deduct from the dividends payable to a shareholder any amount due to the Corporation by the shareholder, on account of calls for payment or otherwise.

9.2 Record Date

The Board may fix, in advance, in accordance with the articles and applicable securities laws, a record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to receive dividends.

9.3 Payments of Dividends and Other Distributions.

Any dividend or other distribution payable in cash to shareholders may be paid by cheque, by electronic means, or by any other method the Board determines. The payment will be made to or to the order of each registered holder of shares in respect of which the payment is to be made. Cheques will be sent to the registered holder’s Recorded Address, unless the holder otherwise directs. In the case of joint holders, the payment will be made to the order of all such joint holders and, if applicable, sent to them at their Recorded Address, unless such joint holders otherwise direct.

The sending of the cheque, the sending of the payment by electronic means, or the sending of the payment by any other method determined by the Board, in an amount equal to the dividend or other distribution to be paid, less any tax that the Corporation is required to withhold, will satisfy and discharge the liability for the payment, unless payment is not made upon presentation.

Reference to “Nominating Shareholder” in this Section 10.5 shall be deemed to refer to each shareholder that nominates or seeks to nominate a person for election as director in the case of a nomination proposal where more than one shareholder is involved in making the nomination proposal.

The Corporation may also require any Proposed Nominee to furnish such other information, including completion of the Corporation’s directors questionnaire, as it may reasonably require to determine whether the nominee would be considered “independent” as a director or as a member of the audit committee of the directors under the various rules and standards applicable to the Corporation in the same manner as such rules and standards are applicable to the Corporation’s other directors.

In addition to the provisions of this Article 10, a Nominating Shareholder and any Proposed Nominee shall also comply with all of the applicable requirements of the Act, applicable securities laws and applicable stock exchange rules regarding the matters set forth herein.

10.6 Currency of Notice.

All information to be provided in a Nominating Shareholder’s notice pursuant to this Article 10 shall be provided as of the date of such notice. To be considered timely and in proper form, a Nominating Shareholder’s notice shall be promptly updated and supplemented if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting.

10.7 Power of the Chair.

No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the provisions of the by-laws; provided, however, that nothing in the by-laws shall be deemed to preclude discussion by a shareholder (as distinct from the nomination of directors) at a meeting of shareholders of any matter in respect of which it would have been entitled to submit a proposal pursuant to the provisions of the Act. The chair of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article 10 and, if any proposed nomination is not in compliance with this Article 10, to declare that such defective nomination shall be disregarded.

- 14 - 

10.8 Delivery of Notice.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 10, notice given to the secretary pursuant to this Article 10 may only be given by personal delivery, facsimile transmission or by email (at such email address as stipulated from time to time by the secretary for purposes of this notice), and shall be deemed to have been given and made only at the time it is served by personal delivery, email (at the aforesaid address) or sent by facsimile transmission (provided that receipt of the confirmation of such transmission has been received) to the secretary, at the address of the principal executive offices of the Corporation, provided that if such delivery or electronic communication is made on a day which is not a business day or later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on a day which is a business day, then such delivery or electronic communication shall be deemed to have been made on the subsequent day that is a business day.

10.9 Board Discretion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, in its sole discretion, waive any requirement in this Article 10.

ARTICLE 11

FORUM SELECTION

Unless the Corporation approves or consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the courts of the Province of Québec and the appellate courts therefrom shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation; (ii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim for breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation; (iii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Act or the articles or the by-laws of the Corporation (as either may be amended from time to time); or (iv) any action or proceeding asserting a claim otherwise related to the affairs of the Corporation. If any action or proceeding the subject matter of which is within the scope of the preceding sentences is filed in a court (a “Non-Designated Court”) other than a court located within the Province of Québec (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any securityholder, such securityholder shall be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within the Province of Québec in connection with any action or proceeding brought in any such Non-Designated Court to enforce the preceding sentences and (ii) having service of process made upon such securityholder in any such action or proceeding by service upon such securityholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such securityholder. This Article 11 shall not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the U.S. Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the U.S. federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the U.S. Securities Act. Any person or entity holding, owning or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this Article 11.

A requirement under this by-law that a notice, document or other information be provided in writing may be satisfied by providing an electronic document and a requirement under this by-law for a signature or that a document be executed, in relation to an electronic document, may be satisfied, in each case, if the requirements in the Act, applicable securities laws or any other applicable law in respect thereof are met.

12.4 Persons Entitled by Operation of Law.

Every person who becomes entitled to any share by operation of law, transfer, death of a shareholder or any other means, is bound by every notice in respect of such share that has been given to the shareholder from whom the person derives title to such share before such person’s name and address is entered on the securities register (whether the notice was given before or after the happening of the event on which such person became so entitled) and before such person furnished the Corporation with the proof of authority or evidence of such person’s entitlement. Computation of Time Periods.

Except if otherwise provided in the Act, in computing the date when notice of any event must be given if a specified number of days is required, (i) the date of giving the notice is excluded and the date of the event is included, (ii) non-juridical days within the meaning of the Code of Civil Procedure are counted; but when the last day is a non-juridical day, the time limit is extended to the next following juridical day and (iii) Saturday is considered a non-juridical day.

This by-law was made by resolution of the Board and ratified by ordinary resolution of the shareholders on [   ], 2020.

Exhibit 10.1

STOCKHOLDER SUPPORT AND LOCK-UP AGREEMENT

THIS STOCKHOLDER SUPPORT AND LOCK-UP AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is entered into as of November 30, 2020, by and among The Lion Electric Company, a corporation existing under the Business Corporations Act (Québec) (the “Company”), Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“NGA”), Northern Genesis Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”), and other stockholders of NGA that from time to time execute signature pages to this Agreement (Sponsor and any such other stockholder, a “Stockholder” and, collectively, the “Stockholders”), in each case, solely in such Stockholder’s capacity as a stockholder (and not in any other capacity).

WHEREAS, NGA, the Company and Lion Electric Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), propose to enter into, simultaneously herewith, a business combination agreement and plan of reorganization (the “BCA”), which provides, among other things, that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Merger Sub will be merged with and into NGA (the “Merger”), with NGA surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Company; capitalized terms used by not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the BCA.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Support of Merger. Until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement:

(a) Each Stockholder, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees to vote, at any meeting of the stockholders of NGA, all shares of NGA Founder Stock (and, solely in the case of Sponsor and any director or officer of NGA, all other shares of NGA Common Stock) that are then held thereby (i) in favor of (x) the approval and adoption of the BCA and approval of the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the BCA and (y) the approval and adoption of any other proposals included in NGA’s proxy statement with respect to any such meeting and (ii) against any action, agreement or transaction or proposal that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the NGA under the BCA or that would reasonably be expected to result in the failure of the Merger to be consummated. Each Stockholder acknowledges receipt and review of a copy of the BCA. Prior to the Effective Time, each Stockholder, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees not to deposit any shares of NGA Founder Stock (and, solely in the case of Sponsor and any director or officer of NGA, any other shares of NGA Common Stock) into a voting trust, or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement or grant of any proxy or power of attorney with respect to any shares of NGA Founder Stock (and, solely in the case of Sponsor and any director or officer of NGA, any other shares of NGA Common Stock), that is inconsistent with the intent of this Section.

(b) Each Stockholder, severally and not jointly, agrees not to redeem any shares of NGA Founder Stock (and, solely in the case of Sponsor and any director or officer of NGA, any other shares of NGA Common Stock) owned by it, him or her in connection with any such meeting of the stockholders of NGA contemplated by Section 1(a) hereof.

(c) Each Stockholder, severally and not jointly, agrees not to, and shall cause its Related Holders and its and their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) enter into, solicit, initiate, knowingly facilitate, knowingly encourage or continue any discussions or negotiations with, or knowingly encourage any inquiries or proposals by, or participate in any negotiations with, or provide any information to, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, any person or other entity or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, concerning any acquisition of assets of NGA or outstanding capital stock of NGA or any arrangement, merger, amalgamation, share exchange, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution, business combination or similar transaction involving NGA and any other corporation, partnership or other business organization other than the Company and its subsidiaries (an “NGA Alternative Transaction”), (ii) approve, endorse or recommend, or propose publicly to approve, endorse or recommend, any NGA Alternative Transaction, (iii) approve, endorse, recommend, execute or enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, term sheet, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other written arrangement relating to any NGA Alternative Transaction or any proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to an NGA Alternative Transaction, (iv) commence, continue or renew any due diligence investigation regarding any NGA Alternative Transaction, or (v) resolve or agree to do any of the foregoing or otherwise authorize or permit any of its Representatives acting on its behalf to take any such action. Each Stockholder, severally and not jointly, shall, and shall direct its respective affiliates and Representatives acting on its behalf to, immediately cease any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any person conducted heretofore with respect to any NGA Alternative Transaction.

2. Transfer Restrictions. Subject to the exceptions set forth herein, each Stockholder, severally and not jointly, agrees that such Stockholder shall not, and shall cause its Related Holders not to, without the prior written consent of the Company and, prior to the Effective Time, NGA, enter into or effectuate any Transfer, during the Lock-up Period, of any Restricted Securities that are or may become held by such Stockholder or any Related Holder thereof during the Lock-up Period.

6. Additional Agreements.

(a) The Company acknowledges that (i) the Stockholders have existing rights to require the registration of the NGA Founder Stock, the NGA Insider Warrants, and all NGA Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the NGA Insider Warrants, and (ii) pursuant to the BCA and in connection with the Merger, all shares of NGA Founder Stock shall be exchanged for Company Common Shares, and all NGA Insider Warrants shall be assumed by the Company and become Assumed Warrants that are exercisable for Company Common Shares. The Company agrees that (i) all Company Common Shares issuable in exchange for NGA Founder Stock in connection with the Merger and all Assumed Warrants resulting from the NGA Insider Warrants shall be registered pursuant to the Registration Statement as of the Effective Time, at the sole cost and expense of the Company, and (ii) all Company Common Shares issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Warrants shall be registered pursuant to the registration statement filed by the Company within 15 Business Days after the closing of the Merger pursuant to the NGA Warrant Agreement.

(c) The Company agrees, for the express benefit of each Stockholder, that unless otherwise agreed by Sponsor (or, in the event of any liquidation thereof, each Founding Member thereof, as defined in the organizational documents of Sponsor), the Company shall, assuming the occurrence of Closing, in respect of any meeting of shareholders at which directors of the Company Board are to be elected (and at every reconvened meeting following an adjournment or postponement thereof), prior to and including the annual general meeting of the Company held in calendar year 2022, use at the same efforts to cause the election of Ian Robertson and Chris Jarratt as it uses to cause the election of the other nominees of the Company Board that are proposed for election as directors, provided, in the case of each such individual, that such individual (i) provides such consents, acknowledgements and information as may be reasonably required by the Company and that are provided by the other nominees to the Company Board, (ii) remains qualified to act as a director of the Company under applicable Law and under the rules of any stock exchange on which the securities of the Company are listed, and (iii) has not ceased to serve as a director of the Company as a result of such individual’s death, disability, disqualification or resignation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, each of Ian Robertson and Chris Jarratt shall, at all times while serving on the Company Board, meet the qualification requirements to serve as a director under the Business Corporations Act (Québec), applicable securities laws and the rules of any stock exchange on which the securities of the Company are listed.

(d) The Sponsor represents and warrants to the Company that the NGA Working Capital Warrant Purchase Agreement, and the terms thereof, have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on the part of the Sponsor in order to fund NGA’s working capital needs and transaction costs in connection with the Transactions, some of which may not be due and payable until Closing. From the date of payment thereof to NGA through the Closing, the Sponsor agrees, for the express benefit of the Company, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause NGA to use the proceeds from the issuance and sale of the NGA Working Capital Warrants exclusively for the purpose of satisfying working capital needs and transaction costs in connection with the Transactions, some of which may not be due and payable until Closing.

(b) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the Company, NGA and each Stockholder in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that any agreement entered into by a Stockholder and NGA in connection with NGA’s initial public offering shall remain in full force and effect until, and shall be deemed superseded hereby only upon, the Effective Time. As between the Company, NGA and any Stockholder, no provision of this Agreement can be changed, amended, modified or waived, except by a written instrument executed by the Company and such Stockholder and, prior to the Effective Time, NGA.

(c) Assignment. Except for an assignment of the rights and obligations of a Stockholder hereunder with respect to any Restricted Securities that are Transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, no Stockholder can assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company and, prior to the Effective Time, NGA. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee. This Agreement shall be binding on each Stockholder and each of its respective successors, heirs and transferees.

8

(d) Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.

(e) Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity.

(f) Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State. All legal actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Delaware Chancery Court. The parties hereto hereby (i) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Chancery Court for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto, and (ii) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts.

(g) Capacity. No Stockholder shall be liable for the breach by any other Stockholder of this Agreement. Each Stockholder signs this Agreement solely in such Stockholder’s capacity as a holder of securities of NGA or the Company, and not in such Stockholder’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of NGA or in such Stockholder’s capacity as a trustee or fiduciary of any employee benefit plan or trust. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall in any way restrict a director or officer of NGA in the exercise of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer of NGA or in his or her capacity as a trustee or fiduciary of any employee benefit plan or trust or prevent or be construed to create any obligation on the part of any director or officer of NGA or any trustee or fiduciary of any employee benefit plan or trust from taking any action in his or her capacity as such director, officer, trustee or fiduciary.

(h) Execution and Delivery. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts, by original or electronic signature, and by facsimile or portable document format (pdf) transmission, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

This SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Subscription Agreement”) is entered into this 30th day of November, 2020, by and among The Lion Electric Company, a Québec corporation (the “Issuer”), Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“NGA”), and the undersigned (“Subscriber”).

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer, Lion Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“Merger Sub”), NGA, and the other parties named therein, have entered into that certain Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of the date of this Subscription Agreement (as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub will be merged with and into NGA, with NGA surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the “Merger”).

WHEREAS, in connection with but immediately prior to the Merger, Subscriber desires to subscribe for and purchase from the Issuer that number of the Issuer’s common shares (the “Shares”), set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Acquired Shares”) for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Share Purchase Price”), resulting in an aggregate purchase price set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Purchase Price”), and the Issuer desires to issue and sell to Subscriber the Acquired Shares in consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price by or on behalf of Subscriber to the Issuer at or prior to the Closing (as defined below);

WHEREAS, certain other investors (each, an “Other Subscriber”), have entered into subscription agreements with the Issuer substantially similar to this Subscription Agreement (the “Other Subscription Agreements”) pursuant to which such Other Subscribers have agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and the Issuer has agreed to issue and sell to such Other Subscribers, on the Closing Date, at the Share Purchase Price, a total number of Shares that, together with the Acquired Shares, total 20,000,000 Shares.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Subscription. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Subscriber hereby agrees to subscribe for and purchase, and the Issuer hereby agrees to issue and sell to Subscriber, upon the payment of the Purchase Price, the Acquired Shares (such subscription and issuance, the “Subscription”).

2. Closing.

(a) Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 2(c) and 2(d), the closing of the Subscription contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall occur on the date of, and at a time immediately prior to, the closing of the Merger (such date, the “Closing Date”) and is contingent upon the subsequent occurrence of the closing of the Merger. Not less than five (5) business days prior to the scheduled Closing Date (the “Scheduled Closing Date”), the Issuer shall provide written notice to Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”) of the Scheduled Closing Date. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “business day” means any day on which the principal offices of the Securities Exchange Commission in Washington, D.C. and the Autorité des marches financiers in Québec (Canada) are open to accept filings, or, in the case of determining a date when any payment is due, any day on which banks are not authorized or obligated to be closed in New York, NY or in Montreal, Québec; provided, that banks shall not be deemed to be authorized or obligated to be closed due to a “shelter-in-place,” “non-essential employee” or similar closure of physical branch locations at the direction of any governmental authority if such banks’ electronic funds transfer systems (including for wire transfers) are open for use by customers on such day.

(b) Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 2(c) and 2(d) (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at Closing, but without affecting the requirement that such conditions be satisfied or waived at Closing):

Each book entry for the Acquired Shares shall contain a notation, and each certificate (if any) evidencing the Acquired Shares shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend, in substantially the following form:

(iv) all conditions precedent to the Issuer’s obligation to effect the Merger set forth in the Combination Agreement shall have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that (x) may only be satisfied at the closing of the Merger, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions as of the closing of the Merger or (y) will be satisfied by the Closing and the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Other Subscription Agreements).

(d) Subscriber’s obligation to effect the Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction on the Closing Date, or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the waiver by Subscriber, of each of the following conditions:

(ii) the Issuer and NGA shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to the Closing, except where the failure of such performance, satisfaction or non-compliance would not or would not reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of the Issuer to consummate the Closing;

Subscriber hereby agrees that, from the date of this Agreement until the Closing or termination of this Subscription Agreement, none of Subscriber or any person or entity acting on behalf of Subscriber or pursuant to any understanding with Subscriber will engage in any Short Sales with respect to securities of NGA prior to the Closing. For purposes of this Section 6, “Short Sales” shall include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges (other than pledges in the ordinary course of business as part of prime brokerage arrangements), forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing herein shall prohibit other entities under common management with Subscriber that have no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of Subscriber’s participation in the Subscription (including the Subscriber’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any Short Sales and (ii) in the case of a Subscriber that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Subscriber’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Subscriber’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Acquired Shares covered by this Subscription Agreement.

7. Registration Rights.

(a) The Issuer agrees that, within fifteen (15) business days after the consummation of the Merger (the “Filing Date”), the Issuer will file with the Commission (at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Acquired Shares (the “Registration Statement”), which Registration Statement may include Shares of the Issuer held by the Issuer’s current equityholders, holders of convertible debt instruments of the Issuer and Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the NGA Warrants, and the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the Commission notifies the Issuer that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Closing and (ii) the 10th business day after the date the Issuer is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”); provided, however, that the Issuer’s obligations to include the Acquired Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Issuer such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Issuer held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Acquired Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer to effect the registration of the Acquired Shares, and Subscriber shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that the Issuer shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder; provided further that Subscriber shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Acquired Shares. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Issuer to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Date or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Issuer of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 7. The Issuer will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to the undersigned for review at least two (2) business days in advance of filing the Registration Statement. In no event shall the undersigned be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the SEC; provided, that if the Commission requests that the undersigned be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the undersigned will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Issuer from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Acquired Shares by the applicable shareholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Acquired Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Acquired Shares as is permitted by the SEC. In such event, the number of Acquired Shares to be registered for each selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders.

17

(b) In the case of the registration effected by the Issuer pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration. At its expense the Issuer shall:

(i) except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration continuously effective with respect to Subscriber, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another registration statement is available for the resale of the Acquired Shares and ensure that the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement is free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (A) Subscriber ceases to hold any Acquired Shares or (B) the date all Acquired Shares held by Subscriber may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) or Rule 144(i)(2), as applicable, and (C) two years from the effective date of the Registration Statement.

(ii) advise Subscriber within two (2) business days:

(1) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(2) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;

(3) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

(4) of the receipt by the Issuer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Acquired Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

(5) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, any Registration Statement does not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or does not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any prospectus does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or does not omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Issuer shall not, when so advising Subscriber of such events, provide Subscriber with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer other than to the extent that providing notice to Subscriber of the occurrence of the events listed in (1) through (5) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer;

18

(iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

(iv) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated above, except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Acquired Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(v) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Acquired Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Shares issued by the Issuer have been listed; and

(vi) use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Acquired Shares contemplated hereby and to enable Subscriber to sell the Acquired Shares under Rule 144.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitled to delay or postpone the filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Issuer or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event the Issuer’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Issuer in the Registration Statement of material information that the Issuer has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Issuer’s board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Issuer may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Issuer of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any related prospectus includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, Subscriber agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Acquired Shares under the Registration Statement until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Issuer agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Issuer that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Issuer unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Issuer, Subscriber will deliver to the Issuer or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Acquired Shares in Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Acquired Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

19

(d) Subscriber may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Issuer requesting that Subscriber not receive notices from the Issuer otherwise required by this Section 7; provided, however, that Subscriber may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from Subscriber (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Issuer shall not deliver any such notices to Subscriber and Subscriber shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to Subscriber’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, Subscriber will notify the Issuer in writing at least two (2) business days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 7(d)) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Issuer will so notify Subscriber, within one (1) business day of Subscriber’s notification to the Issuer, by delivering to Subscriber a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide Subscriber with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event immediately upon its availability.

(e) The Issuer shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Subscription Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Subscriber (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement) its directors, officers, agents and employees, and each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages (excluding indirect or consequential damages, including without limitation loss of profits), liabilities, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or in any amendment or supplement thereto, required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Issuer by Subscriber expressly for use therein or Subscriber has omitted a material fact from such information or otherwise violated the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Issuer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall the Issuer be liable for any Losses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon a violation which occurs (A) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by Subscriber, (B) in connection with any failure of such person to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made available by the Issuer in a timely manner or (C) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of Subscriber in violation of Section 7(c) hereof. The Issuer shall notify Subscriber reasonably promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 7 of which the Issuer receives notice in writing. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Acquired Shares by Subscriber.

20

(f) Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, its directors, officers, agents and employees, and each person who controls the Issuer (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, (i) arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or in any amendment or supplement thereto or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, with respect to (i) and/or (ii), to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue or alleged untrue statements or omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Issuer by Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 7(f) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In no event shall the liability of Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Acquired Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Subscriber shall notify the Issuer promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 7(f) of which Subscriber is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Acquired Shares by Subscriber.

8. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Combination Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with the terms therein, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 2(c) or 2(d) are not capable of being satisfied by the End Date (as defined below) or (d) at the election of Subscriber, on or after the date 180 days following the date of this Subscription Agreement (the “End Date”), if the Closing has not occurred on or before such date; provided, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any fraud or willful material breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover out-of-pocket losses, liabilities or damages arising from such fraud or willful material breach. The Issuer shall promptly notify Subscriber of the termination of the Combination Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement.

21

9. Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber acknowledges that NGA is a blank check, special purpose acquisition company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving NGA and one or more businesses or assets. Subscriber further acknowledges that, as described in NGA’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering (the “Prospectus”), available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of NGA’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of NGA’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities, substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of NGA, its public stockholders and the underwriters of NGA’s initial public offering, and the funds and other assets in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of NGA entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber, on behalf of itself and its representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, and any claims of any kind any of them has or may in the future have, in any case arising out of this Subscription Agreement, in or to any funds or other assets held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account or the funds or assets held therein as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9 shall be deemed to limit any right, title, interest or claim of Subscriber to funds or other assets in the Trust Account by virtue of such Subscriber’s record or beneficial ownership of securities of NGA acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, including but not limited to any redemption right with respect to any such securities of NGA.

22

Kansas City, MO. & Saint-Jérôme, Québec —The Lion Electric Company, a leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of all-electric medium and heavy-duty urban vehicles, announced today it intends to combine with Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: NGA), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company focused on a commitment to sustainability and strong alignment with environmental, social and governance principles. Upon closing of the transaction, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion will merge with and into Northern Genesis, and Lion is expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the new ticker symbol “LEV”.

The transaction is expected to bolster Lion’s market leading position in all-electric medium and heavy-duty urban vehicles by supporting the planned construction of a state-of-the-art vehicle manufacturing facility in the U.S., the continued development of advanced battery systems, the planned construction of a highly automated battery system assembly factory and other general corporate purposes.

“This transaction marks an important milestone in Lion’s continued emergence as a market leader in the design, manufacturing and distribution of purpose-built, all-electric medium and heavy-duty urban vehicles” said Marc Bedard, Lion’s CEO - Founder. “The business combination with Northern Genesis provides us with capital to fund Lion’s strategic initiatives, in addition to valuable expertise from Ian Robertson, Chris Jarratt and the Northern Genesis team.”

Founded in 2008, Lion is an established industry leader in all-electric medium and heavy-duty urban vehicles, with over 300 vehicles currently on the road and an impressive operational track record of over 6 million miles driven. Lion offers seven purpose-built electric truck and bus models available for purchase today and which are being delivered from its existing 2,500 vehicle per year manufacturing facility. With Lion buses on the road today and initial truck deliveries in process, Lion expects to quickly ramp up with 650 truck and bus deliveries planned for 2021. Over its coming four year planning horizon, Lion has identified 6,000 potential vehicle sales, approximately 2/3 trucks and 1/3 buses; the marketing plan is supported by over 300 purchase orders in hand and a growing sales pipeline.

“In forming Northern Genesis, we were focused on engaging with a business whose value proposition is proven by current customers, whose tangible growth prospects will be energized by exposure to the public markets and whose experienced management team fosters a winning culture,” said Ian Robertson, co-founder of Northern Genesis. “Lion surpasses our expectations on all these dimensions and we are confident that it has potential to be a great public company in the emerging decarbonized economy.”

Marc Bedard will continue as CEO - Founder of the combined company, overseeing the Company’s strategic growth initiatives and expansion. He is joined by Lion’s existing executive team which includes Nicolas Brunet, EVP & CFO and Yannick Poulin, COO. The combined company will have a board of directors consisting of nine directors, including Marc Bedard, CEO - Founder, Pierre Larochelle (from Power Sustainable) as Chairman, and five other existing Lion Board members, as well as Ian Robertson and Chris Jarratt, co-founders of Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp (NYSE: AQN), who will join the board effective as of closing.

Transaction Overview

The pro forma implied market capitalization of the combined company is $1.9 billion, at the $10.00 per share PIPE subscription price and assuming no public shareholders of Northern Genesis exercise their redemption rights. The company is expected to receive approximately $500 million of net cash proceeds in connection with the transaction, comprised of $200 million from a PIPE and approximately $320 million of cash held in trust by Northern Genesis assuming no public shareholders of Northern Genesis exercise their redemption rights at closing.

The combined net cash proceeds will be used to fund Lion’s growth strategy, including the planned construction of a state-of-the-art U.S. based vehicle manufacturing facility, the continued development of advanced battery systems, the planned construction of a highly automated battery factory and other general corporate purposes.

The existing shareholders of Lion will continue to hold their equity ownership in the combined company, and in some cases they will increase their equity ownership by participating, together with certain Northern Genesis officers and directors, in the PIPE. Following completion of the transaction, it is expected that Lion’s existing shareholders will hold approximately 70%¹ of the combined company’s common equity assuming no redemptions from Northern Genesis’s public stockholders.

The board of directors of Northern Genesis, and the board of directors and the shareholders of Lion, unanimously approved the transaction. Completion of the proposed transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the stockholders of Northern Genesis and a post-closing minimum cash balance available to fund Lion’s growth program of $200 million (net of any redemptions), and is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2021.

¹ In addition to rolling its current interest, Power Sustainable Capital (a wholly owned subsidiary of Power Corporation of Canada) is subscribing to an incremental $17 million of equity ownership as part of the PIPE.

The Lion Electric Company Merger with Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp.

Investor Conference Call Transcript

November 30, 2020

Operator

Welcome to the The Lion Electric Company and Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp. Transaction Conference Call.

I would like to first remind everyone that this call may contain forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, The Lion Electric Company and Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp.’s expectations or predictions of financial and business performance and conditions, expectations or assumptions as to product development and performance (including but not limited to the timing of development milestones), competitive and industry outlook and the timing and completion of the transaction. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions and they are not guarantees of performance. I encourage you to read the press release issued today, the accompanying presentation and Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp.’s filings with the SEC for a discussion of the risks that can affect the business combination, our business and the business of the combined company after completion of the proposed business combination.

Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp. and Lion Electric are under no obligation and expressly disclaim any obligation to update, alter or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Lastly, note that all financial figures referenced on the call today will be in US dollars.

I will now turn the call over to Mr. Ian Robertson. Please go ahead, sir.

Ian Robertson – Co-Founder, Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp.

Thank you operator and thanks to everyone for joining us today for this exciting announcement.

My name is Ian Robertson, and I am a co-founder of Northern Genesis, though you may be more familiar with me through my role as co-founder, together with Chris Jarratt, of Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp.; a company which we are proud to have grown to a $12 billion NYSE-listed renewable energy and sustainable utility company included in the TSX 60 index.

On behalf of Chris and the rest of the Northern Genesis team, I want to express our excitement about the value which will be surfaced through the business combination of Northern Genesis and The Lion Electric Company.

In creating Northern Genesis this past summer, we were focused on engaging with an enterprise which demonstrated some very specific characteristics:

● Firstly, given the business experience gained from Algonquin, we were seeking a tangible business proposition, one whose value was being evidenced by transactions with current customers, generating revenues and earnings today which would inform the business valuation;

1

 

● Secondly, given Northern Genesis’ mandate to foster tomorrow’s great public company, we were seeking a growth story which would be energized through exposure to the public capital markets;

● Thirdly and not surprisingly, our past experience has affirmed the need for our selected company to be clearly aligned with the secular shift in the focus of customers, employees and investors towards sustainability;

● And, lastly, it goes without saying, our target needed to be an organization with a winning culture, led by a proven management team.

In short, Chris and I were looking for an opportunity with which we would be proud to be associated as a follow-on to our success in building Algonquin. Lion has surpassed our expectations on all dimensions and I’m confident you’ll agree after hearing the story.

So, let’s get to it. Lion is a leading designer and manufacturer of medium and heavy-duty all-electric urban trucks and buses, focused specifically on mid-range operations.

When we met the Lion team, three major storylines leapt out which we believe differentiate Lion from the other entrants aspiring to compete in this growing segment of the electric mobility market:

● Firstly, Lion has developed a Highly Harmonious Electric Transport Platform. A 10 year development program has delivered an electric transport platform which incorporates a broad suite of proprietary technology;

● Secondly, Lion has an Attractive Product Line-up Available Today. Leveraging its proprietary transport platform, Lion is offering a current product line up of 7 purpose-built all-electric models, which are available for test drive and purchase today;

● Lastly, Lion has realized Substantial Commercial Success. The credibility of Lion’s technology platform, production capabilities and commercial support programs are evidenced by a current potential sales pipeline of 6,000 vehicles, with delivery of vehicles to customers taking place today.

We see the overall tangibility of Lion’s business as representing a significant first mover advantage – Lion is not an aspirational business plan. It’s a here-and-now business, producing trucks and buses today for use by real customers.

Under the transaction announced today, we are using the $320 million in Northern Genesis’ trust fund, together with the proceeds of a $200M PIPE, to fund Lion’s exciting growth program through to the point of cash flow positivity and ensure that Lion is provided the resources necessary to maintain and build on its first mover advantage and leadership position in all-electric medium and heavy-duty urban vehicles.

We believe this transaction provides our shareholders a unique opportunity to participate in an exciting company, at an extremely attractive entry point which reflects compelling value against Lion’s publicly traded peer group, a peer group over which we believe Lion has commanding lead in business program maturity. Furthermore, we are gratified that a number of top institutional investors with whom Chris and I have developed strong relationships through Algonquin are involved in Northern Genesis and the PIPE transaction.

With that, I’ll turn the presentation over to Marc Bédard and Nicolas Brunet to provide some additional colour on Lion, its vision and its differentiated prospects.

Marc Bédard – Founder & Chief Executive Officer, The Lion Electric Company

Thanks Ian. My name is Marc Bédard and I am the Founder and CEO of Lion.

We are very proud of Lion and the success we achieved since I founded Lion in 2008. We trace our success to our single-minded focus on being a leader in designing, developing and building purpose-built urban electric vehicles; vehicles which are specifically designed as delivery trucks, refuse trucks, bucket trucks, moving trucks, school buses and shuttle buses.

While our corporate vision is to establish a leadership position, as you heard from Ian, in many respects, we are already an industry leader with over 300 all-electric vehicles on the road today, with a truck and bus delivery schedule and an order book that is building very fast.

As Ian mentioned, there are three main characteristics of Lion which we proudly claim distinguishes Lion from other companies who aspire to enter into our markets.

● Firstly, our state-of-the-art electric transport platform

● Secondly, our impressive product line-up available today for sale; and

● And third, our relationship with tier-one customers

We always start the Lion story by pointing out that our trucks and buses can be test driven and delivered today, not in four-five years from now, and they are performing jobs today on North American roads. These vehicles are constructed on our proprietary electric transport platform, a platform which has evolved with the benefit of over ten years of Research and Development, and operational experience from over 6 million miles driven on our 300+ vehicle fleet.

To be truly effective and cost efficient, we strongly believe that an electric vehicle needs to be designed from the ground up, rather than starting with a diesel or gas vehicle and then trying to fit in electric propulsion components. Our electric transport platform is the foundation of our purpose-built strategy; it reflects the harmonious integration of our proprietary energy and control systems, drive components from tier-one suppliers, all tied together with our software, into a state-of-the-art EV.

One specific area of technology that I would like to touch on is our battery systems, which are essentially the heart of an EV. At Lion, we have focused on developing and applying the right battery technology to the right application using our own proprietary battery management system, battery thermal management system and battery packs.

As many of you know, exciting work is being done by the battery manufacturers in improving the capacity of raw cells; Lion’s approach to evolving its battery systems is to capture these continuing cell technology advances for the benefit of our customers.

The battery system is an important cost component in an EV and driving economies of scale in this component yields significant EV improvements. Our strategic battery supply arrangements with BMW, LG Chem and also our partnership with Romeo Power have been crafted to deliver these benefits.

3

 

Independent of any battery cell technology breakthrough, Lion is confident in a battery system cost reduction of more than 50% in the coming four years, provided by increased economies of scale and greater vertical integration at our new battery plant, which we aim to have open as early as 2022.

We are gratified that Lion’s vehicles are competing head-to-head and winning against diesel vehicles today, attributed to a favorable total cost of ownership, which is only going to improve further within the coming years. The Lion electric platform will capture the benefit of significant cost reductions that will be passed on to our customers through lower vehicle sale prices.

The second major Lion differentiator I would like to highlight is the unmatched line-up of seven purpose-built all-electric models that Lion has available for sale today, a mix of medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks and buses that demonstrate a great commonality across the platforms, which eases our production challenges and provides increased economies of scale.

Furthermore, within the next two years, we expect to reveal seven new truck models and one new school bus, for a total of 15 all-electric vehicles, representing a full line-up from class 5 to class 8 electric trucks and a full line-up of electric school buses.

Our electric trucks and buses are successfully competing in the mid-range North American market, which is estimated to be at $110 billion per year.

A specific example of our purpose-built vehicles dominating the diesel alternative is in the refuse collection market. Our all electric body and chassis refuse truck has been designed to perform a full day of collections on a single charge and delivers a TCO which is almost 25% less than that of a diesel truck. And this benefit is expected to grow to 45% as the price of our trucks comes down with falling battery and other costs. This is a market we aim to dominate, and we are currently in discussions for significant supply agreements with top-tier customers.

Our vehicles are being produced today at our existing manufacturing plant, which has capacity for the production of up to 2,500 vehicles per year. While this plant is meeting our forecast needs for the next 2 years, an exciting part of the Lion story is the expansion of our U.S. production capacity being facilitated by this transaction. We aim to open a new plant in the U.S. capable of delivering over 20,000 Lion trucks and buses per year within the next 18 months.

And, all the benefits of this first-mover advantage will be described to you in more detail by Nic, who will wrap up the Lion story with a summary of our sales success. Nic?

Nicolas Brunet – EVP & Chief Financial Officer, The Lion Electric Company

Thanks Marc. My name is Nic Brunet and I am the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Lion.

Let me take a moment and walk you through some of our commercial successes.

Our target customers are the medium to large fleet owners and we, like Tesla and others in the EV space, have adopted a “Direct to Customer” sales model.

4

 

As part of our go-to-market strategy, we handle all critical aspects of the vehicle selection and purchase for our customers, including EV education & training, identification and execution of grants, energy requirements, charging infrastructure, maintenance and advanced telematics.

To validate our sales model, we invited the Northern Genesis team to independently reach out to some of our key customers in search of unvarnished testimonials. We were pleased that customers’ feedback confirmed the functionality and dependability of our vehicles and the partnership relationship we have been able to create with new and existing customers as they continue their journey towards a transition to EV. I would point out that many aspirational market participants don’t have the opportunity to validate their proposition given the lack of current products or current customers.

The attractiveness of Lion’s electric vehicle line-up is being affirmed by the growing sales pipeline. Based on our sales forecasts, we are excited about our line of sight on 6,000 potential vehicle sales over the coming four year planning horizon. The composition of this pipeline enables us to be effective in transforming “potential forecasted sales” to “firm orders” with new purchase commitments; our book of purchase orders now stands at over 300 vehicles, including the recent order of 50 of our Class 8 trucks from CN – Canadian National Railway, an order from Amazon for 10 Class 6 trucks, and an order from Waste Connections for our refuse truck.

Also of note, we have a multi-year agreement in place which sets the framework for the purchase of up to 2,500 Lion6 and Lion8 trucks, at our customer’s discretion. This agreement, which was executed in June 2020, specifically calls for Lion to reserve the necessary manufacturing capacity to deliver up to 500 trucks per year from 2021 to 2025 and 10% of manufacturing capacity from 2026 to 2030. In addition, we committed to provide ongoing maintenance and training assistance to this customer.

Concurrent with this commercial agreement, Lion issued a common equity warrant to the customer, which grants the customer the potential to purchase up to a 19.99% ownership stake in Lion, assuming full vesting, and based on the number of shares issued and outstanding prior to the combination with Northern Genesis. As of today, 3% of the warrant is vested, representing a 1% ownership in Lion pro forma the transaction with Northern Genesis, assuming a cashless exercise. Full vesting of the warrant requires spending at least $1.1 billion on Lion products. On a fully vested basis, the pro forma ownership of the customer would be approximately 7% pro forma the transaction with Northern Genesis, assuming a cashless exercise. The warrant has an 8-year vesting period.

Altogether, based on our visibility on potential sales and our ongoing dialogue with clients, we are targeting revenue of $3.6 billion dollars in 2024, with over 18,000 vehicle sales for the year.

Back to you, Ian.

This Presentation contains preliminary information only, is subject to change at any time and, is not, and should not be assumed to be, complete or to constitute all the information necessary to adequately make an informed decision regarding your engagement with Lion Electric and Northern Genesis.

USE OF PROJECTIONS AND KEY ASSUMPTIONS This Presentation contains projected financial information with respect to Lion Electric. Such projected financial information constitutes forward - looking information, and is for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying such financial forecast information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, competitive and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. See “Forward - Looking Statements” paragraph above. Actual results may differ materially from the results contemplated by the financial forecast information contained in this Presentation, and the inclusion of such information in this Presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results reflected in such forecasts will be achieved. Neither Northern Genesis’ nor Lion Electric’s independent auditors have audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this Presentation, and accordingly, neither of them expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Presentation. In preparing and making certain forward - looking statements contained in this presentation, Lion Electric and Northern Genesis made a number of economic, market and operational assumptions. Notably, statements regarding the Company’s 2024 vision, and summary financial forecast are, without limitation, subject to material assumptions regarding the Company’s ability to economically manufacture and distribute its products at scale and meet its customers’ business needs, the Company’s ability to successfully execute its growth strategy, including planned additions to plant, property and equipment, the Company’s ability to maintain required strategic supply arrangements, rates of adoption of battery electric vehicles by customers in the markets in which t he Company operates, continuation of favorable regulations and government incentives affecting the markets in which the Company operates. The Company cautions that its assumptions may not materialize and that current economic conditions render such assumptions, although believed reasonable at the time they were made, subject to greater uncertainty. FINANCIAL INFORMATION; NON - IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES The financial information and data contained in this Presentation is presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘‘IFRS’’), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. None of the financial information and date contained in this presentation was prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The financial information and data contained in this Presentation is unaudited and does not conform to Regulation S - X promulgated under the Securities Act. Accordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in, the Registration Statement to be filed by Northern Genesis and Lion Electric with the SEC. Some of the financial information and data contained in this Presentation, such as EBITDA, EBITDA Margin and Free Cash Flow, have not been prepared in accordance with IFRS. Northern Genesis and Lion Electric believe these non - IFRS measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Lion Electric’s financial condition and results of operations. Lion Electric’s management uses these non - IFRS measures for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation and for budgeting and planning purposes. Northern Genesis and Lion Electric believe that th e u se of these non - IFRS financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends in and in comparing Lion Electric’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non - IFRS financial measures to investors. Management does not consider these non - IFRS measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. The principal limitation of these non - IFRS financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by IFRS to be recorded in Lion Electric’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non - IFRS financial measures. CURRENCY All amounts in this presentation are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.
