This SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Subscription Agreement”) is entered into on _________, 2021, by and between Qell Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Qell”), Qell DutchCo B.V. (“Lilium Holdco”), and the undersigned subscriber (the “Investor”).
WHEREAS, this Subscription Agreement is being entered into in connection with the proposed business combination (the “Transaction”) between Qell, and Lilium GmbH (“Lilium”), pursuant to a business combination agreement to be entered into concurrently with this Subscription Agreement among Lilium, Lilium Holdco and the other parties thereto (the “Transaction Agreement”);
WHEREAS, in connection with the Transaction, Qell is seeking commitments from interested investors to purchase, upon closing of the Transaction, shares of Lilium Holdco’s Class A ordinary shares, with a nominal value of €0.12 per share (the “Shares”), in a private placement for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Per Share Subscription Price”);
WHEREAS, the aggregate purchase price to be paid by the Investor for the subscribed Shares (as set forth on the signature page hereto) is referred to herein as the “Subscription Amount”; and
WHEREAS, substantially concurrently with the execution of this Subscription Agreement, Qell and Lilium Holdco are entering into separate subscription agreements in respect of subscription to the Shares (collectively, the “Other Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “Other Investors”) with an aggregate purchase price of $450,000,000 (inclusive of the Subscription Amount) (the “PIPE Investment”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, each of the Investor, Qell and Lilium Holdco acknowledges and agrees as follows:
1. Subscription. The Investor hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from Lilium Holdco, and Lilium Holdco agrees to issue and sell to the Investor the number of Shares set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for herein. The Investor understands that the subscribed Shares that will be issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement will be Class A ordinary shares of Lilium Holdco, which will be a Netherlands public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) at Closing (as defined below).
2. Closing.
(a) [The closing of the sale of the Shares contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall occur on a closing date (the “Closing Date”) specified in the Closing Notice (as defined below), and be conditioned upon the prior or substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction (the closing date of the Transaction, the “Transaction Closing Date”). Upon delivery of written notice from (or on behalf of) Lilium Holdco to the Investor (the “Closing Notice”), that Lilium Holdco reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transaction to be satisfied or waived on an expected Transaction Closing Date that is not less than five (5) business days from the date on which the Closing Notice is delivered to the Investor, the Investor shall deliver the Subscription Amount three (3) business days prior to the expected Closing Date by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified in the Closing Notice (the “Transfer Date”), to be held by Lilium Holdco or in escrow until the Closing Date; provided however, that an Investor may extend such Transfer Date upon prior written agreement between such Investor and Lilium Holdco. On the Closing Date, Lilium Holdco shall issue the Shares to the Investor and subsequently cause the Shares to be registered in book entry form in the name of the Investor on Lilium Holdco’s share register. Not later than one (1) business day after the Closing Date, Lilium Holdco shall deliver to the Investor a copy of the records of Lilium Holdco’s transfer agent or other evidence showing Investor as the owner of the Shares on and as of the Closing Date. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “business day” shall mean a day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York, London, England, U.K., Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, or China are authorized or required by law to close.
(b) In the event the Transaction Closing Date does not occur within two (2) business days after the Closing Date under this Subscription Agreement, Lilium Holdco shall promptly (but not later than two (2) business days thereafter) arrange for the Subscription Amount to returned to the Investor by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Investor, and any book-entries for the Shares shall be deemed repurchased and cancelled; provided that, unless this Subscription Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof, such return of funds shall not terminate this Subscription Agreement or relieve the Investor of its obligation to purchase the Shares at the Closing.

In place of the above, the below will be included for mutual funds:

Upon delivery of written notice from (or on behalf of) Lilium Holdco to the Investor (the “Closing Notice”), that Lilium Holdco reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transaction to be satisfied or waived on an expected Transaction Closing Date that is not less than six (6) business days from the date on which the Closing Notice is delivered to the Investor, the Investor shall deliver, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2 and Section 3, the Subscription Amount on the specified Closing Date by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified in the Closing Notice.

(g) Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), the Investor has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Shares and determined that the Shares are a suitable investment for the Investor and that the Investor is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of the Investor’s investment in Lilium Holdco. The Investor acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.
(h) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor has not relied on any statements or other information provided by or on behalf of any of the Placement Agents or any of its respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing concerning Qell, Lilium Holdco, Lilium, the Transaction, the Transaction Agreement, this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Shares or the offer and sale of the Shares. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Investor hereby further acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Placement Agents are acting solely as placement agents in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and are not acting as an underwriter, initial purchaser, dealer or in any other such capacity and is not and shall not be construed as a fiduciary for the Investor, Qell, Lilium Holdco, Lilium or any other person or entity in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the Placement Agents have not made and will not make any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, of any kind or character and have not provided any advice or recommendation in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) the Placement Agents will have no responsibility with respect to (A) any representations, warranties or agreements made by any person or entity under or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or any of the documents furnished pursuant thereto or in connection therewith, or the execution, legality, validity or enforceability (with respect to any person) of any thereof, or (B) the financial condition, business, or any other matter concerning Qell, Lilium Holdco, Lilium and the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iv) no Placement Agent shall have any liability or obligation (including without limitation, for or with respect to any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements incurred by Investor), whether in contract, tort or otherwise, to the Investor or to any person claiming through the Investor, in respect of the PIPE Investment.

(n) The Investor agrees that, from the date of this Subscription Agreement, none of the Investor or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Investor or pursuant to any understanding with the Investor will engage in any hedging or other transactions or arrangements (including, without limitation, any short sale or the purchase or sale of, or entry into, any put or call option, or combination thereof, forward, swap or any other derivative transaction or instrument, however described or defined) designed or intended, or which could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, a sale, loan, pledge or other disposition or transfer (whether by the Investor or any other person) of any economic consequences of ownership, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, of any securities of Lilium Holdco prior to the Closing, whether any such transaction or arrangement (or instrument provided for thereunder) would be settled by delivery of securities of Lilium Holdco, in cash or otherwise, or to publicly disclose the intention to undertake any of the foregoing; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 8(n) only, reference to “short sale” shall not include any short sale, options, puts, calls, hedging or similar arrangements if, at any point during the day the short sale, option, put, call or similar arrangement is entered into, the stock price for the Qell common shares is at or above $15 per share (which shall be permitted); provided further that the provisions of this Section 8(n) shall not apply to long sales (including sales of securities held by the Investor prior to the date of this Subscription Agreement and securities purchased by the Investor in the open market after the date of this Subscription Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8(n) (i) shall prohibit any entities under common management with the Investor that have no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of Investor’s participation in the transactions contemplated hereby from entering into any such transactions; and (ii) in the case of an Investor that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Investor’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Investor’s assets, this Section 8(n) shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares hereunder.

9. Registration Rights.
(a) Lilium Holdco agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days following the Closing Date (such deadline, the “Filing Deadline”), Lilium Holdco will submit to or file with the SEC a registration statement for a shelf registration on Form F-1 or Form F-3 (if Lilium Holdco is then eligible to use a Form F-3 shelf registration) (the “Registration Statement”), in each case, covering the resale of the Shares acquired by the Investor pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (the “Registrable Shares”) and Lilium Holdco 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 SEC notifies Lilium Holdco that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Closing and (ii) the 10th business day after the date Lilium Holdco is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, however, that if such Effectiveness Deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or other day that the SEC is closed for business, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to the next business day on which the SEC is open for business; and provided further, that Lilium Holdco’s obligations to include the Registrable Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Investor furnishing in writing to Lilium Holdco such information regarding Investor or its permitted assigns, the securities of Lilium Holdco held by Investor and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Shares (which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings) as shall be reasonably requested by Lilium Holdco to effect the registration of the Registrable Shares, and Investor shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Lilium Holdco may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that Lilium Holdco shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement, if applicable, as permitted hereunder; provided that Investor 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 Registrable Shares. In no event shall Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless specifically requested by the SEC in which case the Investor will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents Lilium Holdco 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 Registrable Shares or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register the resale of a number of Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Shares as is permitted by the SEC. In such event, the number of Shares to be registered for each selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders, and Lilium Holdco will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as allowed by the SEC, one or more registration statements to register the resale of those Registrable Shares that were not registered on the initial Registration Statement, as so amended. For as long as the Investor holds Shares, Lilium Holdco will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports for so long as the condition in Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) is required to be satisfied, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the undersigned to resell the Shares pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act (in each case, when Rule 144 of the Securities Act becomes available to the Investor). Any failure by Lilium Holdco to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Deadline shall not otherwise relieve Lilium Holdco of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 9.
(b) In the case of the registration effected by Lilium Holdco pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, Lilium Holdco shall, upon reasonable request, inform the Investor as to the status of such registration. At its expense Lilium Holdco shall:
(i) except for such times as Lilium Holdco 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, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which Lilium Holdco determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to Investor, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (A) Investor ceases to hold any Registrable Shares, (B) the date all Registrable Shares held by Investor may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for Lilium Holdco to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), and (C) three (3) years from the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The Investor agrees to disclose its ownership to Lilium Holdco upon request to assist it in making the determination described above. The period of time during which Lilium Holdco is required hereunder to keep a Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “Registration Period”;
11
(ii) during the Registration Period, advise Investor, as expeditiously as possible (and within no later than three (3) business days):
(1) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC;
(2) after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;
(3) of the receipt by Lilium Holdco of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and
(4) 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, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Lilium Holdco shall not, when so advising Investor of such events, provide Investor with any material, nonpublic information regarding Lilium Holdco other than to the extent that providing notice to Investor of the occurrence of the events listed in (1) through (4) above may constitute material, nonpublic information regarding Lilium Holdco;
(iii) during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;
(iv) during the Registration Period, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 9(b)(ii)(4) above, except for such times as Lilium Holdco is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, Lilium Holdco 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 Registrable Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(v) during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the shares of common stock issued by Lilium Holdco have been listed;
(vi) during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow the Investor to review disclosure regarding the Investor in the Registration Statement; and
(vii) during the Registration Period, otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Investor, consistent with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, in connection with the registration of the Registrable Shares.
12
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, Lilium Holdco shall be entitled to delay the filing or effectiveness of, or suspend the use of, the Registration Statement if it determines that in order for the Registration Statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, (i) an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act, or (ii) the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by Lilium Holdco or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event Lilium Holdco’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of outside legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by Lilium Holdco in the Registration Statement of material information that Lilium Holdco 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 Lilium Holdco’s board of directors, upon the advice of outside legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements, (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that Lilium Holdco may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than forty-five (45) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from Lilium Holdco 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 or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in light of the circumstances under which they were made, in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Investor agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Investor receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which Lilium Holdco 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 Lilium Holdco 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 Lilium Holdco unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by Lilium Holdco, Investor will deliver to Lilium Holdco or, in Investor’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Shares in Investor’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Shares shall not apply (A) to the extent Investor is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (1) to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (2) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (B) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. The Investor may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to Lilium Holdco requesting that Investor not receive notices from Lilium Holdco otherwise required by this Section 9(c); provided, however, that Investor may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from Investor (unless subsequently revoked), (i) Lilium Holdco shall not deliver any such notices to Investor and Investor shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to Investor’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, Investor will notify Lilium Holdco 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 9(c)) and the related suspension period remains in effect, Lilium Holdco will so notify Investor, within one (1) business day of Investor’s notification to Lilium Holdco, by delivering to Investor a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide Investor with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event promptly following its availability.
(d) Indemnification.
(i) Lilium Holdco agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, the Investor (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), its directors, officers, partners, managers, members, stockholders, advisers and each person who controls Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act), to the extent permitted by law, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees of one law firm (and one firm of local counsel)) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement (“Prospectus”) or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to Lilium Holdco by or on behalf of such Investor expressly for use therein.
13
(ii) In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, such Investor shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to Lilium Holdco in writing such information and affidavits as Lilium Holdco reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify Lilium Holdco, its directors and officers and each person or entity who controls Lilium Holdco (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by on behalf of such Investor expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the liability of such Investor shall be several and not joint with any Other Investor or other selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement and shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of Registrable Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(iii) Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (A) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (B) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
(iv) The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.
(v) If the indemnification provided under this Section 9(d) from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that the liability of the Investor shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of Registrable Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 9(d)(i), (ii) and (iii) above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 9 (d)(v) from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
14
(e) Subject to receipt from the Investor by Lilium Holdco and its transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to Lilium Holdco and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith, and, if required by the Transfer Agent, an opinion of Lilium Holdco’s counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Transfer Agent, to the effect that the removal of such restrictive legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act, the Investor may request that Lilium Holdco remove any legend from the book entry position evidencing the Shares within two (2) business days of such request and receipt of such representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to Lilium Holdco and the Transfer Agent, following the earliest of such time as the Shares (A) are subject to and are sold or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or (B) have been or are about to be sold pursuant to Rule 144. If restrictive legends are no longer required for the Shares pursuant to the foregoing, Lilium Holdco shall, in accordance with the provisions of this section and reasonably promptly following any request therefor from the Investor accompanied by such customary and reasonably acceptable representations and other documentation referred to above establishing that restrictive legends are no longer required, deliver to the Transfer Agent irrevocable instructions that the Transfer Agent shall make a new, unlegended entry for the Shares. Lilium Holdco shall be responsible for the fees of the Transfer Agent associated with such issuance.
10. 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 Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms without being consummated, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) if the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 3 of this Subscription Agreement are not satisfied at, or are not capable of being satisfied on or prior to, the Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement will not be or are not consummated at the Closing and (d) November 15, 2021 if the closing of the Transaction has not occurred on or before such date; provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful breach. Lilium Holdco shall notify the Investor of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement. Upon the termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with this Section 10, any monies paid by the Investor to Lilium Holdco in connection herewith shall be promptly (and in any event within one business day after such termination) returned to the Investor.
11. Trust Account Waiver. The Investor acknowledges that Qell is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving Qell and one or more businesses or assets. The Investor further acknowledges that, as described in Qell’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated September 11, 2020, as amended on September 25, 2020 (the “IPO Prospectus”) available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of Qell’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of Qell’s initial public offering and private placement of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of Qell, its public shareholders and the underwriter of Qell’s initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to Qell to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the IPO Prospectus. For and in consideration of Qell entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Investor hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind it has or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement; provided, that nothing in this Section 11 shall be deemed to limit the Investor’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of the Investor’s record or beneficial ownership of Class A common stock of Qell.
15
12. Miscellaneous.
(a) Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Investor hereunder (other than the Shares acquired hereunder, if any) may be transferred or assigned provided that the Investor may assign its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to one or more of its affiliates or to another investment fund or account managed or advised by the investment manager who acts on behalf of the Investor or an affiliate thereof; provided that no such assignment shall relieve the Investor of its obligations hereunder.

16. For the avoidance of doubt, all obligations of the Investor hereunder are separate and several from the obligations of any Other Investor. The decision of Investor to purchase the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement has been made by Investor independently of any Other Investor or any other investor and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Lilium Holdco, Qell, Lilium, or any of their respective subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any Other Investor or investor or by any agent or employee of any Other Investor or investor, and neither Investor nor any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Other Investor or investor (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Other Subscription Agreement, and no action taken by Investor or Other Investors pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Investor and Other Investor or other investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that Investor and Other Investors or other investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements. The Investor acknowledges that no Other Investor has acted as agent for Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and no Other Investor will be acting as agent of Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the Shares or enforcing its rights under this Subscription Agreement. The Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Subscription Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Investor or investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
