(iv) The failure of Moog to purchase Workhorse’s Membership Interests by the date that is thirty (30) days following exercise by Workhorse of the Put Right provided to it pursuant to Section 6.2.

(b) If a Member voluntarily becomes a debtor in any case under bankruptcy law or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against any Member and such petition is not dismissed within thirty (30) days, and that Member’s trustee in bankruptcy (or that Member acting as debtor in possession) formally assumes this Agreement within the time period described above and subsequently during the administration of the estate in bankruptcy that Member desires to assign all or part of its interest in the Company and its rights under this Agreement, that Member must send a written notice to the other Member (and the Agent in the event of a bankruptcy of Workhorse) (the “Notice of Bankruptcy Sale”) and no later than sixty (60) days after delivery of the Notice of Bankruptcy Sale obtain from a prospective assignee a bona fide written offer to purchase the interest, stating the terms and conditions on which the purchase is to be made.

Member of its intention to do so within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice from the transferring Member of its intention to transfer the interest pursuant to a bona fide written offer to purchase. The failure of the other Member to, within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice, notify the transferring Member of its desire to exercise this right of first refusal with respect to all of the interest desired to be sold pursuant to the bona fide written offer to purchase shall result in the termination of the right of first refusal, and the transferring Member shall be entitled to consummate the sale of its interest in the Company to the third-party purchaser pursuant to the bona fide written offer to purchase.

(ii) In the event the other Member gives written notice to the transferring Member of its desire to exercise this right of first refusal and to purchase all of the transferring Member’s interest in the Company which the transferring Member desires to sell on the same terms and conditions as are stated in the bona fide written offer to purchase, the other Member has the right to designate the time, date and place of closing, provided that the date of closing will be the later of (x) the date set forth for closing in the bona fide written offer to purchase and (y) forty-five (45) days after receipt of written notification from the transferring Member of the bona fide third party offer to purchase.

The Company shall then forthwith (A) transfer all Moog IP to Moog; (B) transfer all Workhorse IP to Workhorse; and (C) transfer each Improvement to the Member that developed and contributed such Improvement, subject to a perpetual, royalty-free license by the Member owning such Improvement to the other Member such that each Member is fully able to utilize and commercialize such Improvements in connection with the Moog IP and the Workhorse IP, as applicable; and after the completion of the above items, proceed with the winding up and liquidation of the Company and its remaining assets, if any. The Board shall liquidate the Company’s remaining assets, if any, and distribute them in the manner and in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.2. The Company shall not terminate until: (i) the Company’s remaining assets, if any, have been distributed in the manner set forth in Section 8.2; (ii) such time as all Sponsored Projects existing as of the date of occurrence of the event that causes the dissolution, termination, and Liquidation of the Company have terminated; and (iii) the Certificate of Dissolution has been properly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the Act. No new Sponsored Projects or other licensing arrangements with respect to any Horsefly IP may be commenced on or after the date of occurrence of the event that causes the dissolution, termination, and Liquidation of the

SECTION 8.3 - FAIR MARKET VALUE DISTRIBUTIONS.

If the assets (other than the Horsefly IP) are to be distributed in kind to one or more of the Members (in connection with the Liquidation of the Company or otherwise), the value of such assets shall be adjusted pursuant to the Regulations under Code Section 704(b) and such assets shall be distributed at their respective fair market values. Furthermore, each Member’s Capital Account shall be adjusted to reflect what such Member’s Capital Account would be if the Company were to sell all of such assets at their respective fair market values and allocated the Profits or Losses among the Members in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.4 - FINAL ACCOUNTING.

Each Member shall be furnished with a statement reviewed by the Company’s accountants, who shall appointed by the Co-Managers, which shall set forth the Profits and/or Losses generated upon the sale or exchange of the Company’s properties; the allocation of such Profits and Losses among the Members; the Company’s proceeds received from the sale or exchange of its properties; any revaluations of Company property; the assets and liabilities of the

TAX APPENDIX TO OPERATING AGREEMENT

ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES

SECTION 1 - DEFINITIONS.

Pursuant to Regulations Section 301.7701-3, the Company shall be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, and the tax treatment of the Company shall be governed by Subchapter K of the Internal Revenue Code. Certain definitions contained in this Tax Appendix refer to sections of the Code or Regulations involving partnerships, and some of the definitions contained herein substitute the words “Member” for “Partner”, “Company” for “Partnership”, and “Membership Interest” for “Partnership Interest”. However, the intention is to utilize the concepts and requirements of the Code and Regulations involving partnerships, and the definitions contained herein should be read consistently with each provision of the Code and Regulations. For purposes of this Tax Appendix and this Agreement, the terms and phrases listed below shall be defined as follows:

(a)“Book Value” means the value of Company property maintained on the Company’s books for purposes of determining the Members’ Capital Accounts. With respect to any asset of the Company, such asset’s adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes shall be its Book Value, except as follows:

(i) The initial Book Value of any asset contributed by a Member to the Company shall be the gross fair market value of such asset.

(ii) The Book Value of all Company assets shall be adjusted to equal their respective gross fair market values, as determined by the Board in accordance with Code Section 7701(g), as of the following times: (a) the acquisition of an additional interest in the Company by any new or existing Member in exchange for more than a de minimis Capital Contribution; (b) the distribution by the Company to a retiring or continuing Member as consideration for an Interest in the Company of more than a de minimis amount of money or other Company property; (c) as of the liquidation of the Company within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g); and (d) unless otherwise expressly agreed upon, the acquisition of an additional Interest in the Company (other than a de minimis Interest) in exchange for the provision of services to or on behalf of the Company by a new or existing Member.

(iii) The Book Value of any Company asset that is distributed to a Member shall be its gross fair market value as described in Section 8.3 of the Agreement.

(iv) The Book Values of Company assets shall be increased (or decreased) to reflect any adjustments to the adjusted basis of such assets pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b), but only to the extent that

II-1

This document does not contain Technical Data or Technology as defined in the ITAR Part 120.10 or EAR Part 772

such adjustments are taken into account in determining Capital Accounts pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m); provided, however, that Book Values shall not be adjusted pursuant to this clause (iv) to the extent that an adjustment pursuant to the foregoing clause (ii) is made in connection with a transaction that would otherwise result in an adjustment pursuant to this clause (iv).

(v) As otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv).

If the Book Value of an asset has been determined or adjusted pursuant to clauses (i)-(v) above of this Section 1(a), such Book Value shall thereafter be adjusted for the Depreciation taken into account with respect to such asset for purposes of computing Profits and Losses.

(b)“Company Minimum Gain” shall be defined as set forth in Regulations Sections 1.704-2(b)(2) and 1.704-2(d)(1). Each Member’s share of the Company’s Minimum Gain shall be defined as set forth in Regulations Section 1.704-2(g).

(c)“Depreciation” means, for each taxable year or other period, an amount equal to the depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deduction, as computed for federal income tax purposes, allowable with respect to an asset of the Company for such year or other period, except that if the Book Value of a Company asset differs from its adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes at the beginning of such year or other period, Depreciation shall be an amount which bears the same ratio to such beginning Book Value as the federal income tax depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deduction for such year or other period bears to such beginning adjusted tax basis; provided, however, that if such beginning adjusted tax basis is zero, such amount shall be determined with reference to such Book Value using any reasonable method determined by the Board.

(d)“Excess Capital Account Deficit” means, with respect to a Member, the deficit balance, if any, in such Member’s Capital Account as of the end of the relevant taxable year, after giving effect to the following adjustments:

(i) Increase such Capital Account by any amounts which such Member is obligated by this Agreement to restore to the Company, or is deemed obligated to restore to the Company pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5); and

(ii) Decrease such Capital Account by the items described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), and (6), and for this purpose, the Board shall make the determination of the items described in such Sections of the Regulations.

Any loans to the Company for which a Member has or is deemed to have the economic risk of loss under the Regulations shall constitute an obligation to restore to the Company.

This document does not contain Technical Data or Technology as defined in the ITAR Part 120.10 or EAR Part 772

(e)“Member Minimum Gain” means a Member’s share of minimum gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and (5) (pertaining to partnerships).

(f)“Member Nonrecourse Debt” means any Nonrecourse Debt of the Company for which a Member bears the economic risk of loss within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4) (pertaining to partnerships).

(g)“Member Nonrecourse Deduction” means any item of Company Loss, deduction, or expenditure that is attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(2) (pertaining to partnerships).

(h)“Nonrecourse Deductions” shall be defined as set forth in Regulations Section 1.704-2(b) and (c) (pertaining to partnerships).

(i)“Nonrecourse Liability” or “Nonrecourse Debt” or “Nonrecourse Loan” shall have the meanings defined in Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(3) (pertaining to partnerships).

(j)“Profits” and “Losses” means for each taxable year or other period an amount equal to the Company’s taxable income or loss for such year or period, determined in accordance with Code Section 703(a) (for this purpose, all items of income, gain, loss, or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Code Section 703(a)(1) shall be included in taxable income or loss), with the following adjustments:

SECTION 2 - ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES.

Profits and Losses of the Company shall be allocated in accordance with Section 2.1 and Section 2.2 of this Tax Appendix.

SECTION 2.1 - PROFITS AND LOSSES.

After accounting for the special allocations of Section 2.2, Profits and Losses shall be allocated among the Members as follows:

(a)Profits. Profits shall be allocated in the following order and priority:

(i) First, Profits shall be allocated one hundred percent (100%) to the Members until the aggregate Profits allocated to the Members pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(i) for such taxable year and all previous taxable years is equal to and offsets the aggregate Losses allocated to the Members pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(iv) hereof for all previous taxable years (and allocated among the Members pro rata in proportion to their shares of Losses being offset).

(ii) Second, to the extent that Losses have been allocated pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(iii) and/or Section 2.1(b)(ii): (A) Profits shall be allocated among the Members to offset the Losses allocated pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(iii) until the cumulative Profits allocated pursuant to this Clause (A) equal cumulative Losses allocated pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(iii) for all periods (and allocated among the Members pro rata in proportion to their shares of Losses being offset); and then (B) Profits shall be allocated pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(ii) to offset Losses allocated pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(ii), until the cumulative Profits allocated pursuant to this Clause (B) equal cumulative Losses allocated pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(ii) for all periods (and allocated among the Members pro rata in proportion to their shares of Losses being offset).

(iii) The balance, if any, shall be allocated to the Members pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

(b)Losses. Losses shall be allocated in the following order and priority:

(i) First, to the extent Profits have been allocated pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii) for any prior taxable year (but subject to the limitation described in Section 2.1(b)(ii) below), Losses shall be allocated first to offset any Profits allocated pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii), until the cumulative Losses allocated pursuant hereto equal cumulative Profits allocated pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii) (and allocated among the Members pro rata in proportion to their shares of Profits being offset).

(ii) Second, Losses shall be allocated among the Members pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests; provided, however, that no Losses (or items thereof) shall be allocated to a Member under any provision of this Agreement to the extent that such allocation would result in or cause a further increase in such Member’s Excess Capital Account Deficit (defined in this Tax Appendix) as of the end of the taxable year. In such event, such Losses (or portion thereof) shall be allocated among the Members pursuant to Sections 2.1(b)(iii) and (iv).

(iii) Third, the Losses which are unable to be allocated to a Member under Sections 2.1(b)(i) or (ii) shall be allocated among the other Members (pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests), except to the extent prohibited by Section 2.1(b)(ii).

(iv) The balance, if any, shall be allocated one hundred percent (100%) to the Members, pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

SECTION 2.2 - SPECIAL ALLOCATIONS.

The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

(a)Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).

(b)Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period shall be specially allocated among the Members pro rata in proportion to their ratio for sharing Profits or Losses for the taxable year. The “excess nonrecourse liabilities” (as defined in Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)) shall be allocated to the Members pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

(c)Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, or of this Section 2, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Company taxable year, each Member shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for that year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, as determined pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the minimum gain chargeback would cause a distortion of the economic agreement of the Members as set forth in Article III of the Agreement, and it is not expected that the Company will have sufficient other income to correct the distortion, the Board shall be authorized to request the Internal Revenue Service for a waiver of the minimum gain chargeback requirement, as provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(4). This Section 2.2(c) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and (g) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. To the extent permitted by such Section of the Regulations and for purposes of this Section 2.2(c) only, each Member’s Excess Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to this Section 2.2 with respect to such taxable year and without regard to any net decrease in Member Minimum Gain during such taxable year.

(d)Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, or of this Section 2.2 except Section 2.2(c), if there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Company taxable year, each Person who has a share of the Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and (f)(5). This Section 2.2(d) is intended to comply with the Member Minimum Gain chargeback requirement in such Section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.2(d), each Member’s Excess Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to this Section 2.2 with respect to such taxable year, other than allocations pursuant to Section 2.2(c) hereof.

(e)Qualified Income Offset. If any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Excess Capital Account Deficits created by such adjustments, allocations, or distributions as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 2.2(e) shall be made only if and to the extent that a Member would have an Excess Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in Sections 2.1(a) and (b) of this Tax Appendix have been tentatively made as if this Section 2.2(e) were not in this Tax Appendix.

(f)Gross Income Allocation. If any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Company taxable year which is in excess of the sum of: (i) the amount such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement; and (ii) the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 2.2(f) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Section 2.2 have been made as if this Section 2.2(f) and Section 2.2(e) hereof were not in this Tax Appendix.

(g)Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to the Regulations to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Regulations.

SECTION 3 - CURATIVE ALLOCATIONS.

The allocations set forth in Section 2.2 of this Tax Appendix (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this Section 3. Therefore, notwithstanding Section 2 of this Tax Appendix, (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Board shall make such offsetting special allocations in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Tax Appendix. In exercising their discretion under this Section 3, the Board shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 2.

SECTION 4 - SPECIAL RULES.

(a)Restatement of Book Value. In accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), the Board may, upon the occurrence of the events specified in such Section of the Regulations, revalue the Company’s property and assets (including intangible assets such as goodwill) as well as the Members’ Capital Accounts.

(b)Prorations. For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses, or any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, interim closing of the books, or other basis, as determined by the Board using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.

(c)Allocations Among Classes. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all Profits and Losses allocated to the Members as a group, or among a class of Members as a group, shall be allocated among them in proportion to their respective units for such group or class.

SECTION 5 - TAX ALLOCATIONS: CODE SECTION 704(C).

(a)In General. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Book Value (computed in accordance with Section 1(a) of this Tax Appendix).

(b)Revaluation. If the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to Section 1(a) and Section 4(a) of this Tax Appendix, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.

(c)Elections. Any elections or other decisions relating to allocations pursuant to Code Section 704(c) shall be made by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion provided such elections and decisions conform to the Regulations. Allocations pursuant to this Section 5 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

SECTION 6 - TAX ELECTION.

In the event of a transfer of all or part of an Interest of a Member, or upon the distribution of cash or other property to a Member, the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, elect pursuant to Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code to adjust the basis of the Company’s assets. The determination to make such election shall be within the absolute discretion of the Board, and the Board may, in its discretion, require one or more Persons likely to benefit from such election to pay the additional accounting and other expenses associated with making such election.
