(b) For each of the phases, the Parties will agree upon and implement one or more collaboration projects in order to meet the objectives of that phase (each such project, a “Collaboration Project”). Before commencing each Collaboration Project, the Parties will mutually agree upon and prepare a written plan and schedule for that Collaboration Project, to be attached to and incorporated by reference into this Agreement (each, a “Collaboration Project Plan”)¹

(c) The terms and conditions of each Collaboration Project Plan will supplement the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect to the applicable Collaboration Project and, to the extent expressly inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, will control with respect to the applicable Collaboration Project. In the ordinary course, the Parties expect that each Collaboration Project Plan will include the following items, subject to any additions or deletions the Parties’ may determine are appropriate for the particular Collaboration Project:

(i)

Each Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) perform its responsibilities in accordance with this Agreement and each Collaboration Project Plan and (ii) cooperate with the other Party in connection with the other Party’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement and each Collaboration Project Plan. Upon a schedule to be mutually agreed and set forth in each Collaboration Project Plan, each Party will provide to the other Party and the Steering Committee a reasonably detailed written report for each Collaboration Project describing the status of all activities for which such Party was allocated responsibility under the relevant Collaboration Project Plan. Within twenty (20) days after expiration or termination of, or completion of the activities contemplated under, each Collaboration Project Plan, the Steering Committee will meet to assess the Parties’ mutual performance under that Collaboration Project Plan, to determine and make a recommendation to each Party as to whether the Parties should continue into the next phase of their collaboration, and, if the recommendation is to proceed to the next phase, then to commence preparation of the Collaboration Project Plan for the next phase as contemplated in Section 2.1. Prior to commencing each Collaboration Project, the Parties shall mutually determine whether to designate such Collaboration Project as the final Collaboration Project and, if so, then upon the expiration or termination of, or completion of activities under, the Collaboration Project Plan for such Collaboration Project this Agreement shall terminate as provided in Section 10.1.

In accordance with the provisions and objectives of this Agreement and each Collaboration Project Plan, the Steering Committee will oversee, coordinate, and manage the Parties’ activities with respect to the Collaboration Projects and exercise decision-making authority over all activities related to each Collaboration Project and make all such decisions and take all such other actions as are delegated to it in this Agreement.

(b) The Steering Committee will meet as often as needed upon written notice by or on behalf of any member of the Steering Committee but in any case will meet not less than once each quarter, such meetings to be scheduled in advance for each Contract Year at the beginning of such Contract Year or as otherwise mutually agreed. Any notice of any meeting of the Steering Committee will be sent in writing (which may include email) to each member of the Steering Committee and will include an agenda identifying in reasonable detail the matters to be discussed at such meeting together with copies of any relevant documents to be discussed. Steering Committee meetings will be held at times and places and in such form, such as by telephone or video conference, as the Steering Committee determines, except that in-person meetings of the Steering Committee will alternate between the Parties’ offices at least twice per Contract Year, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties. Any Steering Committee member may designate a substitute of at least equivalent experience and seniority to attend and perform the functions of that Steering Committee member at any Steering Committee meeting. Subject to Section 2.5(a), members of the Steering Committee may invite Representatives to attend meetings of the Steering Committee as observers or to make presentations, in each case without any voting authority.

The Steering Committee will make all decisions and take other actions in good faith and with due care, after consideration of the information that is reasonably available to it.

(e) The Steering Committee has only the powers specifically delegated to it by this Agreement and has no authority to act on behalf of any Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Steering Committee has no authority to, and will not purport to or attempt to: (i) negotiate or enter into agreements on behalf of any Party; (ii) make representations or warranties on behalf of any Party; (iii) waive rights of any Party; (iv) extend credit on behalf of any Party; or (v) take or grant licenses of, transfer ownership, or otherwise encumber Intellectual Property Rights on behalf of any Party.

(a) Each Party will, with respect to the relevant Collaboration Project, appoint an appropriately staffed team of Representatives (collectively, a “Collaboration Project Team”), including a primary contact for such Party (each, a “Collaboration Team Leader”) who will jointly oversee, manage, and coordinate the day-to-day implementation of the Collaboration Project Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Joby shall retain ultimate decision-making authority over eVTOL design decisions.

(b) Each Party may appoint, at its discretion, substitute or successor Representatives to a Collaboration Project Team, including substitute or successor Collaboration Team Leaders, and shall provide notice to the other Party thereof.

Section 2.5. Conduct of the Collaboration Projects.

(a) Each Representative of a Party who works on a Collaboration Project, attends any meeting concerning a Collaboration Project, including any Steering Committee meeting, or is given access to any other Party’s Confidential Information (a “Participating Individual”), will be bound by a written agreement requiring such Participating Individual to: (i) assign to the Party of which it is a Representative all right, title, and interest in and to any Intellectual Property Rights created by such Participating Individual in connection with the Collaboration Project (“Participant Inventions”) (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, such Participating Individual’s general employee assignment will satisfy the foregoing requirement if broad enough to encompass all Participant Inventions); and (ii) be bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-use no less restrictive than those set out in this Agreement.

(b) All day-to-day decisions concerning matters and functions allocated or delegated to a Party pursuant to a Collaboration Project Plan, unless expressly reserved in this Agreement for determination or approval by a Collaboration Project Team or the Steering Committee, will be deemed to be within the decision-making authority of that Party; provided that all such decisions will be consistent with such Collaboration Project Plan, the objectives of the Collaboration Project and the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If a Collaboration Project Team cannot reach a decision on any matter concerning the Collaboration Project for which it has decision-making authority, it will refer the matter to the Steering Committee for further review and resolution.

(c) Each Party will retain the rights, powers, and discretion granted to it under this Agreement, and no such rights, powers, or discretion will be delegated to or vested in any

Collaboration Project Team unless this Agreement, including the relevant Collaboration Project Plan, expressly provides for that delegation or vesting of rights, or the Parties otherwise expressly agree in writing in accordance with Section 12.13.

(d) With respect to the deployment of Toyota engineering personnel to Joby facilities pursuant to Collaboration Project Plans, such Toyota Representatives will have sufficient language ability to communicate effectively with their Joby counterparts, or Toyota will otherwise provide for the deployment of one or more Representatives to assist the engineering team with language and cultural considerations.

(e) The Collaboration Team Leaders will meet regularly (and in any event no less frequently than a semi-annual basis) to evaluate the performance and fit of each member of the Collaboration Project Team, and to make determinations on whether to extend the deployment duration of such member or allow such deployment period to expire. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Toyota shall retain final decision-making authority with respect to the deployment of Representatives to the extent needed to ensure compliance with applicable Laws.

ARTICLE XI

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 11.1. Dispute Resolution Objective. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement and except for any claims for equitable relief, all Disputes for which the Steering Committee cannot reach a decision will be subject to this Article 11. Either Party may initiate the dispute resolution procedure of this Article 11 by giving the other Party written notice in accordance with the terms of Section 12.5 of any dispute (“Notice of Dispute”).

Section 11.2. Negotiation and Mediation. Within ten (10) days of a Notice of Dispute provided to a Party in accordance with Section 12.5, senior executives of each Party having greater seniority than the members appointed to the Steering Committee by such Party will meet in person, or by teleconference, at a mutually agreeable time and place, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within ten (10) days following the Notice of Dispute, the Parties will submit the Dispute to mediation before a mutually agreed mediator from Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) or its successor, to be scheduled within ten (10) days. All negotiations pursuant to this Section 11.2 are confidential and are deemed compromise and settlement negotiations for the purposes of applicable rules of evidence. Each Party will bear its own costs with respect to any mediation, and the other costs of the mediation will be shared equally between the Parties.

Section 11.3. Arbitration. In the event the Parties are unable to resolve any dispute by negotiations or mediation as set forth in Section 11.2, the Parties will submit the Dispute to binding arbitration before a mutually agreed arbitrator from JAMS or its successor. If the Parties cannot agree on an arbitrator within five (5) days after the commencement of the arbitration, each Party will select an arbitrator, who is not employed by or a consultant to either Party, and the two selected arbitrators will select a third arbitrator, who is not employed by or a consultant to either Party. Any arbitrator chosen hereunder will have reasonable education and training relevant to the Dispute. The arbitration will be held in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The location of the arbitration will be San Francisco, California. The decision of the arbitrator will be binding on the Parties and will be final and nonappealable. Any decision by the arbitrator(s) will not be interpreted as an admission against interest of any Party and will not be admissible as evidence in any subsequent court action with a third party. The prevailing Party in any arbitration will be entitled to an award of all costs, fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, with respect to the matters submitted to the arbitration once the arbitrator reaches a decision.

Section 11.4. No Court Proceedings. Unless otherwise provided elsewhere in this Agreement or any Collaboration Project Plan, no Party may institute any court proceedings concerning any Dispute. The dispute resolution procedure of this Article 11 is the sole remedy, unless otherwise provided elsewhere in this Agreement, for resolving Disputes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may initiate court proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction (i) to enforce any arbitration award between the Parties, (ii) for claims for equitable relief, or (iii) to enforce its Intellectual Property Rights. The Party seeking enforcement of an arbitration award will be entitled to an award of all costs, fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to be paid by the Party against whom enforcement is ordered.

ARTICLE XII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.1. Force Majeure. Neither Party will be liable or responsible to the other Party, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement, when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by:

A Party may terminate this Agreement if a Force Majeure event affecting the other Party continues substantially uninterrupted for a period of thirty (30) days or more.
