Palantir and the Company may be referred to in this Agreement together as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party.”

 

RECITALS

 

A. Rubicon Global, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an operating subsidiary of the Company (“Rubicon”), and Palantir are parties to that certain Palantir Order Form, Order #2, dated as of December 15, 2021 (as amended from time to time, “Order #2”) and related terms and conditions, exhibits, and appendices thereto, pursuant to which Palantir agreed to provide access to certain of its products and/or services (collectively, the “Services”) to Rubicon pursuant to the terms and conditions of Order #2 and such related agreements as agreed to by Rubicon and Palantir from time to time.

 

B. Pursuant to Order #2, Rubicon agreed to pay to Palantir certain fees in respect of the applicable Services, and invoice #INVN00107702, dated as of January 5, 2023, was issued by Palantir to Rubicon for the period January 1, 2023 through March 31, 2023 (the “Invoice”), which Invoice remains fully outstanding as of the date of this Agreement. The Parties have mutually agreed to permit Rubicon to pay the Invoice, in the amount of $3,750,000 (the “Share Issuance Fee”), through the issuance of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value, as publicly-listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Stock Exchange”) under the ticker symbol “RBT,” to Palantir (“Company Stock”).

 

C. The Company agrees and acknowledges that Rubicon and the Company have derived, and continue to derive, material value from Order #2 and related agreements. The Company hereby desires to (i) assume the obligation to pay the Share Issuance Fee from Rubicon and (ii) issue to Palantir 5,440,302 shares of Company Stock (the “Acquired Shares”), which is equal to (x) the Share Issuance Fee amount of $3,750,000, divided by (y) $0.6893 per share, which is the lower of the post-market closing price of the Company Stock on the Stock Exchange on the Effective Date and the daily volume-weighted average price of the Company Stock on the Stock Exchange over the five (5) consecutive trading days ending immediately on, and inclusive of, the Effective Date, and Palantir desires to accept the Acquired Shares, once issued to Palantir by the Company as set forth herein, as full and complete satisfaction of Rubicon’s obligation to pay the Share Issuance Fee.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1. Share Issuance and Closing.

 

(a) The closing of the issuance of the Acquired Shares contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall occur on a closing date (the “Closing Date”) which shall occur as soon as reasonably practicable on or after the Effective Date, but in no event any later than March 31, 2023, unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties in advance.

 

(b) Subject to, and upon, the issuance of the Acquired Shares by the Company to Palantir as set forth herein, the unpaid Order #2 fees for the period covered by the Invoice and in the amount of the Share Issuance Fee shall be deemed paid by Rubicon and received by Palantir in full, and the Invoice shall be deemed to be satisfied, effective as of the Closing Date; provided, for clarification purposes only, any fees, except for those set forth in the Invoice, shall remain outstanding and payable until and unless paid by Rubicon pursuant to the terms and conditions of Order #2.

 

 

 

 

(c) On and as of the Closing Date, the Company shall (x) deliver and issue the applicable Acquired Shares to Palantir and cause the Company’s transfer agent to register the Acquired Shares in book entry form on the Company’s register, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those arising under state or federal securities laws), in the name of Palantir (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) or to a custodian designated by Palantir, as applicable, and (y) deliver to Palantir evidence from the Company’s transfer agent of the issuance of such Acquired Shares to Palantir in book entry form on and as of the Closing Date.

The Company and Palantir further agree to customary covenants and other obligations in connection with the registration of the Acquired Shares as set forth in Appendix A hereto.

 

(b) Upon request by Palantir and subject to receipt from Palantir by the Company and its transfer agent of customary representations and documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company and its transfer agent in connection therewith (provided in the case of (A) and (B) below, that the Company shall cause, assuming the availability of Rule 144 in the case of (B) below, its legal counsel to deliver, if required, an opinion of the Company’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), remove any legend from the book entry position evidencing the Acquired Shares if (A) such Acquired Shares are eligible to, or have been or are about to, be sold or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement, (B) such Acquired Shares can be sold, assigned or transferred or have been or are about to be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144, or (C) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer, such holder provides the Company and its transfer agent with an opinion of counsel and other customary paperwork, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and the transfer agent, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Acquired Shares may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and such holder agrees to sell, assign or otherwise transfer such securities in accordance with such valid exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

Appendix A

 

In the case of the registration (the “Registration Statement”) effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform Palantir as to the status of such registration. At its expense the Company shall:

 

(a) except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement as provided in this Appendix A, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any required qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws, continuously effective with respect to Palantir, and to keep the Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (a) Palantir ceases to hold any Acquired Shares and (b) the date all Acquired Shares held by Palantir 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 Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable). Palantir agrees to disclose, on a confidential basis, its ownership of the Company’s securities to the Company upon request to assist the Company in making the determination described above. The period of time during which the Company is required hereunder to keep a Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “Registration Period”;

 

(b) during the Registration Period, advise Palantir, as expeditiously as possible (and within no later than three (3) business days):

 

i. when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission (except to the extent that the filed Registration Statement or amendment is publicly available via the Commission’s EDGAR website, in which case failure to inform Palantir shall not constitute a breach);

 

ii. after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, 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;

 

iii. of the receipt by the Company 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

 

iv. subject to the provisions in this 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, the Company shall not, when so advising Palantir of such events, provide Palantir with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company other than to the extent that providing notice to Palantir of the occurrence of the events listed in (i) through (iv) above may constitute material, nonpublic information regarding the Company;

 

(c) 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;

 

(d) during the Registration Period, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section (b)(iv) to this Appendix A, except for such times as the Company is permitted by this Appendix A to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company 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 Palantir 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 to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

 

Appendix A-1

 

 

(e) during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Acquired Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Acquired Shares have been listed;

 

(f) during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow Palantir to review, prior to the filing thereof, disclosure regarding Palantir in the Registration Statement and shall afford Palantir a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such disclosure, which comments the Company shall in good faith consider and use its reasonable best efforts to incorporate; and

 

(g) during the Registration Period, otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by Palantir, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in connection with the registration of the Acquired Shares.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to delay the filing or effectiveness of, or suspend the use of, the Registration Statement if (i) it reasonably determines that in order for the Registration Statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that at that time could not otherwise be included in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act, or (ii) the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event the Company’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of outside legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Company in the Registration Statement of material information that the Company 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 Company’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 the Company 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. The Company shall not, when advising Palantir of such Suspension Event, provide Palantir with any material, non-public information regarding the Company other than to the extent that providing notice to Palantir of the occurrence of the Suspension Event might constitute material, non-public information regarding the Company. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company 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, Palantir agrees as to itself that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Acquired Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144 or other applicable exemption from registration) until it receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare and provide) 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 Company 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 Company unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Company, Palantir will deliver to the Company or, in Palantir’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Acquired Shares in Palantir’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Acquired Shares shall not apply (a) to the extent Palantir 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 preexisting document retention policy or (b) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. Palantir may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company requesting that Palantir not receive notices from the Company otherwise required by this Appendix A; provided, however, that Palantir may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from any Palantir (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Company shall not deliver any such notices to Palantir and Palantir shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to Palantir’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, Palantir will notify the Company 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 Appendix A) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Company will so notify Palantir, within one (1) business day of Palantir’s notification to the Company, by delivering to Palantir a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide Palantir with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event promptly following its availability.

 

Appendix A-2

 

 

(h) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, Palantir, its directors, officers, employees, advisers, agents, and each person who controls Palantir (within the meaning of the Securities Act) (each, a “Palantir Party”), against any and all losses, claims, damages, obligations, contingencies, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) that any such party may suffer or incur caused by or based upon (i) 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 the Company by or on behalf of Palantir expressly for use therein, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the ‎Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder ‎in connection therewith. If any action shall be brought against any Palantir Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Palantir Party shall notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Palantir Party. Any Palantir Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Palantir Party except to the extent that (x) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (y) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (z) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Palantir Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Palantir Party under this Agreement (1) for any settlement by a Palantir Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (2) to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to Palantir’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by Palantir in this Agreement. The indemnity agreement contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Palantir Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.

 

(i) Palantir agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, advisers, agents, and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) (each, a “Company Party”), against any and all losses, claims, damages, obligations, contingencies, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) that any such party may suffer or incur caused by or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained 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 insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of Palantir expressly for use therein. If any action shall be brought against any Company Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Company Party shall notify Palantir in writing, and Palantir shall assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Company Party. Any Company Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Company Party except to the extent that (x) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by Palantir in writing, (y) Palantir has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (z) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of Palantir and the position of such Company Party, in which case Palantir shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. Palantir will not be liable to any Company Party under this Agreement (1) for any settlement by a Company Party effected without Palantir’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (2) to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to the Company’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement. The indemnity agreement contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Company Party against Palantir or others and any liabilities Palantir may be subject to pursuant to law.
