("VDL Nedcar" and, together with Canoo, the "Parties") entered into a binding term sheet for vehicle contract manufacturing (the "Term Sheet"). Pursuant to the Term Sheet, the Parties have agreed, among other things, that (a) VDL Nedcar will provide manufacturing services for at least the first run of Canoo's Lifestyle Vehicle (the "Vehicles"); (b) VDL Nedcar will render its services in its existing facility in Born, Netherlands, with such additions or modifications as agreed by the Parties; and (c) under conditions to be agreed in a definitive agreement, VDL Nedcar will be responsible for the start of series production and volume ramp up for the Vehicles with the milestone dates and volumes agreed by the Parties. VDL Nedcar's remuneration for its services will consist of non-recurring, one-time costs consisting of planning and start-up costs as well as project-specific investments to be paid up front by Canoo, and recurring costs consisting of a manufacturing fee, including a fixed cost, a variable cost per Vehicle, an agreed profit per Vehicle and depreciation of structural investments per Vehicle.

The foregoing description of terms of the Term Sheet does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Term Sheet, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
